Most of these boots are hypnotized Staring at her bits and shiny thighs Diamond jewel tips and they're Wiley eyes But they just don't recognize
I see her walk Looking side to side And everybody stops Looking Petrified
Move down the block causing quite a stir And she's looking pretty fresh man, I must concur But I see through her exterior, and it's not that superior The lip gloss bubble is bound to burst, you won't be the last, you can't be the first
She's not much verse, mostly chorus Between those ears, mostly sawdust She's mostly lovely, mostly never Blah, blah, blah, blah, whatever
Doctor, Doctor Can't you see' My minds been playing Jokes on me
And I've been trying to save my soul I've been trying to do right But all I'm getting is the tunnel At the end of the line
Look at her now, she's laughing it up And with a sex shooting verb, she'll be slapping them up And in the meantime, she loves jacking them off And with a smile telling them their not making the cut
Now why you looking at me like I'm making this up And why you looking at me like I'm floaty and hinged Like I'm a little bit singed after a JD and Prozac binge And just realized I try but can't win
I'm getting sicker, I can't see My eye lids flicker but I can't delete The image that I have running in my brain A chance that I've missed and I can't regain
Everybody knows apparently I must just be a transparency The thing I've been hiding so hopelessly is That I just want this girl to know it's me
Doctor, Doctor Can't you see' My minds been playing Jokes on me
And I've been trying to save my soul I've been trying to do right But all I'm getting is the tunnel At the end of the line
Paranoid delusion all lovesick only lust Nasty, jealous insecurity, that's how I'm coming across Paranoid delusion all lovesick only lust Nasty, jealous insecure at least that's how I'm coming across

The facts and the figures They overwhelm and stifle Everything that you thought you knew
The facts and the figures They overwhelm and stifle From the very first breath you drew
The facts and the figures They overwhelm and stifle And the petty decisions That you think make a difference
So tiny that they blow away like dust So tiny that they blow away like dust So tiny that they blow away like dust
Through all the devilish things we do Through all the devilish things we do Through all the devilish things we do Through all the devilish things we do
Through all the devilish things we do (I can't help my stupid hopes) Through all the devilish things we do (I can't help my stupid hopes) Through all the devilish things we do (I can't help my stupid hopes)
Through all the devilish things we do (I can't help my stupid hopes) Through all the devilish things we do (I can't help my stupid hopes)
Facts and the figures The overwhelming stifling Everything that you thought you knew
So tiny that they blow away like dust We are all embers from the same fire We are all embers from the same fire We are all embers from the same fire We are all embers from the same fire
I watched her smile, Dissolve like alco sell sell And in all honesty, Man, I wish I could have helped her
But the words I spoke, Fell ? to the ground Hitting that carpet, With a muffled clanging sound
I remember sitting later on the 253, Trying not to cry but the cryings on me, Sick to my stomach feeling so guilty But a cant change the fact that
She had nothing that a needed, So over years the love receded A bit like her old man's hair line, And mine
And at first she was all that I could see, Till other girls appeared in my periphery And we lost something or so it seems, Faded like her favorite jeans
I can't read her face, It's in an unknown language I just hold her pretty hand, 'Cause that's about all I can manage
I wish you wouldn't look at me that way, Knowing I'm a selfish bastard She'll be thanking me one day And maybe we can even part this disaster
I remember sitting later on the 253, Trying not to cry but the cryings on me, Sick to my stomach feeling so guilty But a cant change the fact that
She had nothing that a needed, So over years the love receded A bit like her old man's hair line, And mine
And at first she was all that I could see, Till other girls appeared in my periphery And we lost something or so it seems, Faded like her favorite jeans
No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No, no, no, no promises No promises, no promises
And this is the final curtain call, As in and out of love we fall And its to late to change that Aw its to late to explain that
She had nothing that a needed, So over years the love receded A bit like her old man's hair line, And mine
And at first she was all that I could see, Till other girls appeared in my periphery And we lost something or so it seems, Faded like her favorite jeans

Drag myself from my bed Around twenty past six Get my kids up, make breakfast One egg, two toast, three Weetabix
And as I sit down I look up And you're standing in the doorway, sun at your back In my old brown dressing gown Well, no one can love you more than I love you now
But I gotta go, running for the bus Coat flying and I try not to miss it this time But the drivers waiting and that's strange Kids on the top deck, quiet for a change
And there's no rain and no roadworks In the bus lane and all my hurts run away And I'm smiling as I'm punching in
The day I died was the best day of my life The day I died was the best day of my life Tell my friends and my kids and my wife Everything will be alright The day I died was the best day of my life
The secretaries they got a smile for me And the in tray on my desks almost empty I get a memo from executive Joe Saying Rob the gob is getting kicked out For embezzling funds from the company account
And I'd be lying if I said I wasn't chuffed 'Cause I always hated Rob And now they'll probably offer me Robs old job
And in the park at lunch There's no whinos on my favorite bench None of that drunk chatter, none of that pissy stench And the scrawny little pigeons with the gammy legs Decide to dive bomb from someone else's sandwich instead
And there's something about the city today Like all the colors conspire to overwhelm the gray And this close to the fire I can feel no cold But a rainbow halo around my soul
The day I died was the best day of my life The day I died was the best day of my life Tell my friends and my kids and my wife Everything will be alright The day I died was the best day of my life
So I leave work, get to the high street and I miss my bus Should I wait for another? No I can't be arsed, I begin to walk And rush hour crowd seem to part like the red sea And I'm stopping at the offy
Twenty cigarettes and a six pack to relax me And as I cross back over the street I guess I never saw that taxi
The day I died was the best day of my life The day I died was the best day of my life Tell my friends and my kids and my wife Everything will be alright The day I died was the best day of my life

Girl's so high now Don't know how she's walking in the high heels now All the boys are stalking Picking up the scent now And she's wondering how she's gonna pay the rent now
Checking out the young bucks Salivating As they circle around her snake hips Only letting one boy kiss her on the fake lips As she's working out exactly how to play this
Riding in a cab now All across the city Heading to his penthouse Sliding sticky fingers up of her flanks As the lies easily sliver from her wet mouth
Grinding in the hallway ? And as they're falling through the doorway Pulling back She's stealing just enough time to say I believe a girl deserves a bit of foreplay
It's nothing personal All the users get used in the end It's nothing personal All the users get used in the end It's nothing personal All the users get used in the end, End, end, end, end, end, end, end, end
Pouring out the drinks now Keeps him talking Takes a bottle from her handbag Can't believe she's still relying on the same rag But at least she never had to wear a name tag
Walking in the streets now Back across the city Pulling off her wig now As she drops his empty wallet in a black bag Stuffed into a gutter Calling for a ?
All the users get used in the end All the users get used in the end
I don't know who directs those films I watch when I sleep I'm not sure who the producer is but I don't think it's Serweinstien Sometimes they're made of Lego Sometimes they're made of gold And sometimes it's hard to let go Of the ones I just can't bear to hold All the lights are off while I watch projections in my mind I don't know who does the casting But they got a strange sense of humor Sometimes I'm seeing strangers Sometimes I'm watching friends And sometimes the feeling's painless And I hope the visions never end
There are strangest things I have ever beheld So barmy and beautiful They're monstrously minuscule And I would be a bigger fool if I told you
There are strangest things I have ever beheld So barmy and beautiful They're monstrously minuscule And I would be a bigger fool if I told you
Because you told me they bore you to tears
I bought you a ticket to my one seat cinema But I can't find the box of fizzle So I'll just try to describe it Sometimes you try to listen And sometimes you fall to sleep But sometimes the stories glisten And sometimes they sound so weak
There are strangest things I have ever beheld So barmy and beautiful They're monstrously minuscule And I would be a bigger fool if I told you

Living in a bedsit Close to the world's end, Sitting in his y-fronts Sponging off his girlfriend Carey She says life's right there babe Should be getting on with it ? better tell her that you've all but squandered it It's silly
And his relatives all think that it's a shame And they'd say that it's a mystery if his Dad wasn't exactly the same The same
He's been a space cadet for years Says one day he'll be an astronaut Floating in the hemisphere And looking down on Hampton Court But he's always late And knows one day he'll graduate Then he'll be floating in the ozone High above the empire High above the empire State state state state He's living in a State state state state He's in a proper State state state state They've got him in a State state state state
Sofa suffer, likes a little gamble A few dodgy debts that he says he can handle Maybe Never not ? Stays in most nights Jostling to pixelated princesses on websites Frantically
And his family all say that it's a waste And they wash their mouths out with self-righteousness To hide the bitter taste The taste
He's been a space cadet for years Says one day he'll be an astronaut Floating in the hemisphere And looking down on Hampton Court But he's always late And knows one day he'll graduate Then he'll be floating in the ozone High above the empire High above the empire
Carey's love is cold and congealed Like last night's take-away And she feels She might have to do some kind Of midnight flit All there is to say has been said And as the sky's turning pink She leaves her keys by the sink And takes one last look at our hero's face
He's been a space cadet for years Says one day he'll be an astronaut Floating in the hemisphere And looking down on Hampton Court But he's always late And knows one day he'll graduate Then he'll be floating in the ozone High above the empire High above the empire High above the empire state

She hates all the music can't stand the lights, But there's nothing else to do on a Saturday night And she doesn't like the people can't stand to dance, So they're all going home in an ambulance (woop, woop)
(All going) (Can't stand Saturday night) (Can't stand disco) (All going) (Can't stand Saturday night) (Can't stand disco)
I said Lo.. Lo and behold I just wanna know Why I'm so cold And I hope I learn, before I get old How I can burn When I feel so co-oh-oh-old
I've been inside for days Watching curtains as they sway Rain just falling like a blade On me and Mr. Calloway
I got one direction home Police tape blocking off half the road Bit fragments of some kid's phone And a white bouquet on a traffic cone
And there's the man With four cans of super tea Having heated conversations With those I can't even see And hopefully.. Tomorrow we'll swallow today
I said Lo.. Lo and behold I just wanna know Why I'm so cold And I hope I learn, before I get old How I can burn When I feel so co-oh-oh-old
Come and go The hollow ways Passing the queue for the pharmacy Another little bottle of side effects Another blue pill for your tired sex And this rain it keeps on falling Hollywood stars on the black tarpaulin I swallow, choke And then take it all in All in
And there's the man behind the counter in the shop The one the kids take the piss out of And I wish that they would stop But they will not And tomorrow, we'll laugh at today
I said Lo.. Lo and behold I just wanna know Why I'm so cold And I hope I learn, before I get old How I can burn When I feel so co-oh-oh-old
Well how many times have we rowed and thrown tantrums, and how many times have we loaded and cocked the hammers on our verbal guns, And how many times has crockery and cutlery and cups of tea been thrown at me, And how many times have i thrown words back at you i knew could cut you to the bone, How many times have we slept side by side, a thousand miles apart? And how many times have we thought we could finish something we could never even start? How many times have i said i love you and i hate you in the same breath? And how many times have we tried to grab something when there was nothin'... We got no time we got no time we got no time left at all Well how many times have our friends warned us against this, and i can't remember a time when i have felt so restless, and how many times have you said 'I'm leavin' you no matter what you do' and how many times have i thrown words back at you i knew could kill you waits and, How many times have we slept side by side, a thousand miles apart? And how many times have we thought we could finish something we could never even start? How many times have i said i love you and i hate you in the same breath? And how many times have we tried to grab something when there was nothin'... We got no time we got no time we got no time left at all See i don't want to talk about it, the way you broke my heart, I hate so many things about you i wouldnt know where to start [x2] We got no time we got no time we got no time left at all [x2] We got no time left now [repeat til end]
I'm feelin groovy Kicking down the cobble stones And there is music in every sight and every sound No need for headphones I'll tip my cap to the world Even though I don't wear one Grinning at the women in the salon Getting their hair done On the outside looking in Like an aquarium Spinning with the stars in the planetarium Deliriously Mysteriously I'm feeling curiously marvelously Super Duper Like Joss Stone My heart melts like ice cream cones Grinning like a dog digging up dinosaur bones I used to be fossilized But now I'm out of my shell And I'm happier than whores with chivalrous clientele This can't be real I must be dreaming Can somebody slap me I'm feeling so mischievous Original cheeky chappy It must be ages Since I felt satisfied Just to be Just Jack And just that, still in tact Its just another one of those glory days Jump out your bed Shake your head Clear the haze Step out your house And prepared to be amazed It's just another one of those Just another one of those Just another one of those glory days Jump out your bed Shake your head Clear the haze Step out your house And prepare to be amazed It's just another one of those glory days I'm so warm New dawn Reborn New forms And I'm thinking about my boys Joe le chic, and Freshly Sean And I know you're underrated But one day we'll all make it And walk around naked with our bollocks platinumed and plated Anyway I'm off track Gotta stop that And get back to the high street I need something to eat Stop at the caf' Coffee and a salt beef bagel Yea I know I'm caned/Cain'd But now I'm feeling able/Abel I used to get so paranoid in places like this Stayed in my house for days with my weed psychosis My neurosis was thinking everybody is staring at my red eyes And shifty expression But now I'm past caring And I can feel that destiny is on my side And by the looks of things Fate came along for the ride Behind green skies I can see my girl's eyes Damn it I'm in love with this planet You gotta realize Its just another one of those glory days Jump out your bed Shake your head Clear the haze Step out your house And prepared to be amazed It's just another one of those Just another one of those Just another one of those glory days Jump out your bed Shake your head Clear the haze Step out your house And prepare to be amazed Its time to look to the future Just when I was getting Used to The humdrum I realized in the depths of my depression that I really wanted to be someone So lets smash the past like a tacky figurine On the back page of a supplementary magazine But for the time being bump your head to the beat Sit back, put your feet up And relax' Its just another one of those glory days Jump out your bed Shake your head Clear the haze Step out your house And prepared to be amazed It's just another one of those Just another one of those Just another one of those glory days Jump out your bed Shake your head Clear the haze Step out your house And prepare to be amazed
Shes got a whole lot of disco friends, Disco ladies and gentlemen, Eating their faces from the inside out, Freaky dancing til the late am, Music slipping down the wall of sweat, Shes catching fishies in a disco net, Throwing kisses in the powder room, Slowly sucking on a cigarette
She knows an awful lot of disco kids, Novelty sun glasses and mullet wigs, She says she wants to be a sti-earl-list, Or maybe something in the music biz, Daddies rich, mummies beautiful, They always said she'd make a top model, But now shes hiding out in disco land, A happy clappy trust experience
