When your dreams don't come true
But your worries are over
Once more now

When the girls have all gone
And the party is over
Once more now

When you need it, cos you're in it
When you reach out and you get shot down
Once more now

When your dreams don't come true
Then you've forgotten what I told you
Once more now

You my universe
Nothing but a curse
Fanny Ann, can you give us some?
Once more now...

I'm not a lonely man
I'm looking for my friend
Won't you take my hand?
If your heart is unbroken
Once more now...

And all I need, is one arrow
And this is all I'm telling you...

Every second, every day, every hour, every month, every minute
Every scar, every burn, every star, every turd in the garden, cannibal

Fuck 'em

Did you see the heavy water fall
Out of over-laden skies?
Did you see the heavy water fall
From the heavens and your eyes?
Did you see the heavy water fall
Don't you think it's kind of strange?
Did you see the heavy water fall
Do you think that it means change?

Sometimes I
I think that we're on the wrong side
I think that it's obvious
I
I think that we're on the wrong side
I think that it's serious
I
I'd love to see you try again

Everything was forever
Until it is no more

Did you see the heavy water fall
Out of over-laden skies
Oh I
I'd love to see you read
Without moving your lips
So let's have sport for all
State-aided sylvan trips

Sometimes I
I think that we're on the wrong side
I think that it's obvious
I
I think that we're on the wrong side
I think that it's serious
I

(Side)

I think that it's obvious

(Side)

I think that it's serious
I
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you try again
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you
I'd love to see you try again

Did you see the heavy water fall
From the heavens and your eyes?

It's not psychedelic, it's got many merits
It's not psychedelic, nuclear submarine
Darling, I think it's a dream

Your causes, they make me feel so mad
I'm not yellow, oh no I'm steely black
I hate peaceniks, I'm ready to attack
Let's take out London, let's take out all of that

'Cos it's not psychedelic, it's got many merits
Nuclear submarine

Thin black sail, thin black sail, thin black sail, thin black sail, thin black sail, thin black sail...

It's not psychedelic, it's got many merits
Nuclear submarine
Darling, I think it's a dream

In forest style am be in wood, where life is good, in a way
Slept away, upon our hearts, in cold coal ceremonial
On a rainy day, hang it up
Get the vacuum and suck it in

Cleaning out the rooms, I'll clean it up
Dark cloud, drifting out of view
I'll never know, she'll be coming soon
That is all

I'll wake up in a new life, ship shape and shoe shine
Damn it all to do now, down by the seaside...

Cleaning out the rooms, I'll clean it up
She'll be coming soon
Drifting into view, way in the west, white cloud
If everybody knew, I never knew, she'll be coming soon

I'll wake up in a new life, down by the seaside
In a new life down by the seaside

Cleaning out the room, I'll clean it up, dark clouds
She'll be coming soon
Down the chimney, out the window, that is all...

You were an English lord you wanted just rewards
You wanna go all the way but it's way too late now now
You had a heavy heart, you had a heavy sigh
You wanna know the reasons why
Sit back observe the sky

Let's watch the nebulae explode
Let's watch the nebulae implode
As dark out of the light unfolds
As darkness out of light unfolds
We'll watch the nebulae implode

But they never did and they never will
So we stand against 'em still
Them and all their bruiser mates

It's in between their eyes
You know it's grey and lies
It comes as such a big surprise
Lay back observe the skies

Let's watch the nebulae explode
(Let's watch the nebulae implode)
As darkness out of light unfolds
(As light out of the dark unfolds)
We'll watch the nebulae implode

Oh but I don't stop, don't wanna talk about it
And I won't say
Are you ready for Valhalla?
Are you ready for the dancehall?

Let's watch the nebulae explode
Let's watch the nebulae implode
As darkness out of light unfolds
As light out of the dark unfolds...

Let's watch the nebulae explode
Let's watch the nebulae implode
As darkness out of light unfolds
As light out of the dark unfolds...

We'll watch the nebulae explode.

Well oh my god did she look cute
At the Dame Vera clay pigeon shoot
But it was over oh so fast
It was a blast
So here's to all the dirty girls
They're taking on all of the world
Accessorised up to the hilt
No-one got killed

Northern girls
Are you going to the party
Southern boys
Are you going to the party
Everyone
The Wessies and the Ossies
Everyone is going to the party
And we know that you will understand, oh oh

Living is so easy
Shopping is so easy
Dying is so easy
All of it is easy

I love your celebrity
Your VPL in the SUV
And then you're pissing vitamins, it is a sin
LVMH in the HLM luxury
It will descend, I won't be looking at your eyes in the end

Rive Gauche girls
Are you going to the party
Banlieue boys
Are you going to the party
Everyone
The cops and the commies
Everyone is going to the party
And we know that you will understand

Living is so easy
Shopping is so easy
Dying is so easy
All of it is easy

Northern girls are going to the party
Southern boys you're going to the party
Everyone is going to the party
Everyone is going to the party
And we know that you will understand

Living is so easy
Living is so easy
Living is so easy
Pissing is so easy
Dancing is so easy
Shopping is so easy
It's never been so

Dance, dance

Dancing kid on a snare drum today
I look good in my winter coat, puffed up
Like a puffin on the rock

I saw the desert today
Flash crack backward ageing
Nitric Acid

And there goes another legend up in smoke
Not innocent or mercurial

I powdered rhino horns for you
And I'll serve it on a plate to you
I still want you coming round here today
Beautifully to my squirrel cage

All is quiet on the western front today
You have sunk all my battleships
Oh the mystery, not your ivory

I won't hurt you anymore...

Are you going to the disco hey?
Are you hoping that you'll all get laid?
When there are interstellar clouds on the Sussex Downs
Were you hoping that you might get paid?
But on the way did you get waylaid?

And now tomorrow keeps coming,
Tomorrow keeps coming today
Again and again and again...
Again and again and again...
Again and again and again...
Tomorrow keeps coming today...
Tomorrow keeps coming today...
Tomorrow keeps coming today...
Again and again and again...

Luna was a strange girl, she was pretty mad
When we felt sorry for ourselves she'd say it's not so bad
Even the galaxies weep for the suns and the stars they'll never be
We all laughed but we also felt quite sad
So hey now, just put the f*cking record on and tell my why
Oh hey now, just put the f*cking kettle on and tell me how

A Ballardian nightmare erupted and now we all share
One thought, one love and one idea

If you want it, you can have it all
If you're needy come to me
If you like to, you can take it
It's not really complicated...

If you want it, you can have it all
If you're needy come to me
If you like to, you can take it
It's not really complicated...
It's not really complicated...

Oh, oh but these aren't the answers, these are not the answers for you or me
I thought we had a deal

But tomorrow keeps coming today, again and again and again...
So go forth, go forth Luna, go forth, go forth Luna
So go forth, go forth Luna... go forth, go forth Luna

Sacrifice your eyes to blindness
Look into hills and chaos and destroy yourself
You are unworthy of
Breathing the air

Yeah, you gotta beat it out, gotta beat it out yourself
Breathe in time to the rhythm in the well
Gotta lose yourself, gotta lose yourself to it
Be in mind don't be in touch with it

And don't place yourself before the bushman
A fungal farm
And don't raise yourself up above the Inuits or gorilla

Yeah, you gotta beat it out, gotta beat it out yourself
Breathe in time to the echo in the well
Gotta scare yourself 'till you don't know where you're at
Give it up, there is no why
Ever lost in love, ever lost in time
Ever lost your mind, there is no why
I don't believe in you but you believe in me, ah

(Good)

You're an animal you're a homorapien
There it is but you don't know where it is
Elevated primatemaia
And you can't stop dancing till you call an ambulance
Call an ambulance

The human nature show has got no place to go
It's all just effigies and girls in magazines

I'm crawling out of my head, not getting anywhere
While you were getting down just like an animal, ah

Gotta lose yourself, gotta lose yourself to it
Gotta rock in time back to 798
Gotta lose yourself, gotta lose yourself to it

See, you're coming down, so you bring it down

(Don't look)

Ah, ah, ah
