You're not very well

There's that house where I used to live
Here comes that man, Christ, he gives me a headache
I don't like all these sharks in the city

They don't do much for me anyway
You're not very well  are____
you?
There's that car that I used to swerve
This town traffic is knocking me over
You never knew so you never ask
There's more to me and I'll show it if you, you say
You're not very well  are____
you?
One step forward into mine
Faking pictures and opening doorways
There's only one I insist upon
And you take two 'cause it's easy for you
You're not very well  are____
you?
You know where I'm coming from
So won't you get me there?
You're so ashamed,
you're so far away
Intervene and you privatise
Health is health and I don't know about it
So why don't you leave us lot alone
you're so selfish, you'll do it on your own
You're not very well  are
you?
You're not very well are you, are you?

White Shirt

When my white shirt lets me down
Like one we race against the wind
You said  that I've seen better days
I wash her silver hair away
I'm going to be
(I'm going to be)
In heaven when you say
(In heaven when you say)
I'm too young to waste         to ever be denied
(You`re too young)
She laughed and then she died
Heard you said to me today
You're safe but you're not so far away
You're beautiful how could you be so green
Tomorrow it holds the cause again
(chorus)
And someone said to me
You've taken this too far
But I can't be asked to change
You're so vain
You're open all day
I'm glad I got it sorted now
Heard you said to me today
You're safe but you're not so far away
You're beautiful how could you be so green
Tomorrow it holds the cause again
(chorus)

The Only One I Know

The only one I know, has come to take me away
The only one I know, is mine when she stitches me
(chorus)
Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before, everybody knows the pain
The only one I see, has found an aching in me
The only one I see, has turned her tongue into me
chorus
The only one I know, never cries, never open her eyes
The only one I know, wide awake and then she's away
chorus
The only one I see, is mine when she walks down our street
The only one I see, has carved her way in to me
chorus

Opportunity

A boy with a stronger emotion, has nothing on me I've got this one
Going round round round this sensation I found in my soul
Love as it touches perfection, a ballance of truth and correction
Going round round round this sensation I found again
Station to station, this sensation, a celebration
I won
Speculation reassures your opinion to presume you sre the answer division
Going round round round this sensation I found in my soul
This hated body's persuasion, on any level of the organisation
Going round round round this sensation I found again
Ooh, ooh, ooh,
Station to station, this sensation, a celebration
I won
A stranger in awe of the chaos in reality he never could save us
Going round round round this sensation I found again
Again, again, again, again this sensation
I fucking won

Then

I wanna bomb your submarines
You don't do anything for me
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then
You, you're nothing next to me
I'm a phenomena you see
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then
Furious again, furious again
You don't do anything for me
We are a phenomena you see
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then
Furious again, furious again
And you
You give it all to me
You never listen to a thing I said
You're furious, I'm glorious
You never hurt me that much 

Polar Bear

World's no place to love in
She doesn't know what day it is
Freezing to death with no clothes on
Do you know what you are
It took me ages to find my way home
Give me a lead to hold on to
It's alright for you, she said faintly
You gave it away
I've never had one of those
Change of scene
Is all I need to breathe again
As soon as I thought it was over
It started again
I've never had one of those
Live's a bag of Revels
And I'm looking for the orange one
She's gone
And not for the first time
I've never had one of those
World's no place to love in
She doesn't know what day it is
Have you seen my polar bear
It's that white thing over there
I've never had one of those
How many ways, how many ways
How many ways do you fall before you're shot down?
How many ways, how many ways
How many ways, do you know?

Believe You me 

With all the world developments
Why do they make me laugh at you?
And all the world can take you for
Is something else, you're so low
There's someone else inside of me
Who doesn't make me want to kill
And all the time you're pushing me
I never knew that you were ill
And all the time you think you're it
When you've got nothing else to give
Open it up and take it out
I'll never know what's under that
(Who was that) who killed your lover?
(Who was that) who killed your lover?
It wasn't me
It wasn't believe you me
Not me, not me, not me, not me
Who killed your lover
Who killed your lover
Not me, not me.

Flower

Don't bring me flowers to my bed, I don't wish you to know
It's time to find myself again
As cold as houses on your street, as hollow as my own
I hope you wish them all away
chorus
Time to say goodbye, bye to the bad bad girl
Time to say goodbye, bye to the bad bad girl
Don't bring me flowers to my bed, she got what she deserved
I told her I am of my time
As cold as houses on my street, as hollow as my own
I hope you wish them all away
chorus (x2)

Sonic

Illustrate and beautify
This one time painting is sinking so fast
What you need is someone like me
These weeks are too long, you're drifting too far out
chorus
I know where this one belongs
there's truth in all I see
I don't know where money goes
Think about it
I know somethings are better left
To die in a coma, a long with the buildings
What you need is someone like me
I can throw out what's buried inside here
chorus
I know somethings are better left
To die in a coma, a long with the buildings
What you need is someone like me
I can throw out what's buried inside here
chorus
Think about it
Think about it
Think about it

Sproston Green

This one knows, she comes and goes
And she goes, she goes
This on knows, she comes and goes
And when she goes she goes
Sproston Green, she used to pace me
And now she hasn't got the time
I know I'm to necessary
And ev'rything she stole was mine
This one knows, she comes and goes
And she goes, she goes
This on knows, she comes and goes
And when she goes she goes
Sproston Green, she used to hate me
And now she hasn't got the time
I know I'm to necessary
And ev'rything she stole was mine
You've got this one, I've got no one
She's oh she's mine something wrong.....
oooh.....

Come In Number 21 
                                                      
                                                      I keep no money in holes in the country
                                                      You were no brother of mine
                                                      And I've heard for ages that you're in the good books
                                                      You were no brother of mine
                                                      I don't remember the last time I saw you
                                                      You were too off for the time
                                                      And I'll keep on coming and you keep on running
                                                      The future is nothing
                                                      It's mine
                                                      Keep it together for now and forever
                                                      I know your university
                                                      And you and whose army
                                                      I can't see it working
                                                      Your future is nothing it's mine
                                                      I wish I could just settle to rewrite
                                                      You've found a place in Heaven
                                                      You're a liar
                                                      So go...
                                                      
I Never
                                                      Want An Easy Life If Me And He Were Ever To Get There 
                                                      
                                                      All my life it started again
                                                      You can't know whatever to say
                                                      I feel it
                                                      I just can't get this scene to fit
                                                      Save me I wanna stick with the sides
                                                      Shoot it up and go for a ride
                                                      I fly, she drives over the wall
                                                      Kick out all those humans and all
                                                      I want it
                                                      I just can't seem to get to it
                                                      TV culture's only a style
                                                      Overdose it's a part of the acquittal
                                                      I never want an easy life if me and he were ever to get there

                                                      Won't get off the phone
                                                      You're holding the rocks
                                                      And feeling it all
                                                      Won't get off the floor

                                                      You're nothing that you wanted to be...
                                                      Can't come in the role
                                                      You're filling the holes
                                                      And ruining your clothes

                                                      It's nothing and no one's coming over to me there

I don't want to see the sights
Another happy lad
with dirty pictures plastered on the wall
a british beach collection
a classic alcoholic argument

i don't want to see the sights
there is nothing worse
thank god
i don't want to see the sights

this bloody city
i don't want to waste another year
likewising oznes
are falling from the sky in front of me

i don't want to see the sights
there is nothing worse
thank god
i told you not to see the sights

so this is life
you don't seem like history to me
tell me i don't know
are the bruises on your face
stick on ones

why don't i find out what you want
there is never a place i have been through
you're going to wind up with every sod and stall
they are going to wind up with
you and you, and you
 
Ignition

the sick and complicated eyes
are mine to find a way inside
the hold you break the one you break
you should have done inside

leave me alone i can't take forever
i know - leave me alone i can't take
forever i know

the sick and complicated eyes
are mine to find
a way inside
watch out you're going to burn yourself
you hate yourself
which way inside

leave me alone i can't take forever i know
leave me alone i can't take forever i know
happiness is hard when i am stretched out
ahead on the floor
that's what I read
 
Page One

physically I resemble a vulture too close
to meaning when the world is telling me
so don't go
and I can't even sell myself the moods
of a foreigner and the beatings of
a train conductor

physically I resemble a dog no bones for
this one when the butcher is out for me
so don't go
and I can't even save myself and you're
brutality is obvious to me, so please

inside of me Iam going to break up every
part of her. but not here
inside me. I want to break up every (break
every part of her) but not here

physically you resemble a swan
your femininity or girlishness appeal
I don't know?
and she can't even save herself. you were
going nowhere coz you're way down here
with me. so please

inside of me I am going to break up every
part of her. but not here
inside me. I want to break up every (break
every part of her) but not here

when the one has been overthrown, the
way you look at me from an open fire. I
could have died although I am alright now
you're twisted, determined and begging
for peace

inside of me I am going to break up every
part of her. not here
inside me. I want to break up every (break
every part of her) not here

inside of me I am going to break up every
part of her. not here
inside me. I want to break up every (break
every part of her) not here
 
Tremelo Song

the birds don't sing, they crush my skull
and I am worthless and the heights of what
I stand up to are not in you and I can't get
no words with no feeling from nothing I
don't know where you could ever go

I wonder why you bleach the sky
you could not break
these strings of mine
I never knew, to walk back to
a place that now belongs to you in body

there I stand
my earth
me here in body
I stand my earth
me here in body

a three point conversation in doors with
no meaning when the world will not listen
then you make your own way forward
get out not going to waste outside and I
can't go where you could ever no

I wonder why you bleach the sky
and could not break these strings of mine
I never knew, to walk back to a place that
now belongs to you in body

I wonder why you reach the sky
for liars and lies and turns for terms
sake I never knew to walk back to a place
that now belonges to you nobody
 
The End of Everything

there's no soldier in me. although I try to
believe that all is not in always what you
see army featherweights are bully boys
without homes I recognise the
mastermind device

the end of everything you're dead
in me forever

no education I want besides the one that
I've got divorce me from these zeros
what do they know 20th century
cultureless stereotypes waving words
worth nothing to me now

the end of everything you're dead
in me forever

they only want a "yes man" they'll tell
you what to believe and no (erm)
yes I do I only want to be strong

there is no soldier in me I want my guts
where they are not dumb to these false
leaders anymore and now you want to
achieve another worthless defeat
welcome here the heroes they're on their
way home

the end of everything you're dead
in me forever

they only want a "yes man" they'll tell you
what to believe and no (erm)
yes I do I only want to be strong

mouth like
sugar
shiver
finger lashes
stick on
I don't know how to get off on this
you're not the same as everybody else
why talk to her
most song
shambles. pick on
normal hang home(s) stick on
I don't know how to get off on her
you're not the same as everybody else
why talk to her
an observation taken on, our way on
nobody kiss for you and I am straight on
I don't prescribe the why's outside, I weigh
up all the ghosts you're not the same as
everybody else. why talk to her
mouth like sugar shiver
rant on worship heaven
one on one eye with eye
wankers over workers
what I want I hang on
I have negative unbalance
I can't even be bothered

one of us must know which way
you can go
one of us must know which way
you can go

I can see a rainbow coming out of your
hole you're God although I never knew a
prophet I can see a rainbow coming out of
your hole

I can't even be bothered, energy breaks
me down

two of us waiting for one to start ageing
two of us waiting for one to low-down
I can see a rainbow coming out of your
hole. you're blind although I'm under
pressure. filthy eyes to be with me when I
am down

I can't even be bothered, energy breaks
me down
I can't even be bothered, shut your
face anyway

one of us must know which way the
wind blows
I don't although I never knew a prophet
one of us must know which way the
wind blows

I can't even be bothered, energy breaks
me down
I can't even be bothered, shut your
face anyway

who do you think you are who do you
think you are and never make the same
mistake again
 

Chewing Gum Weekend

don't ask me to socialise
a third degree has blown my eyes
express a feeling captured once
the one I want surprised me once

a citrus state to be in one
and one is like a god in lime
a black inside I know too well, to wear my
worth and buy the grind

and not to waste this scene on it's not my
independence that I'm afraid of this time
and not to base this scene on it's not my
independence I'm ashamed of

and one dissolved in sea again
a third degree has blown my eyes and in
the end your end is clean a conscious state
to call my own

I don't remember the way you used to be

and not to waste this scene on it's not my
independence that I'm afraid of this time
and not to base this scene on it's not my
independence I'm ashamed of

don't ask me to socialise
the world has blown the love outside
and I can't tell if you are wrong
the one who turns to me alone

and not to waste this scene on it's not my
independence that I'm afraid of this time
and not to base this scene on it's not my
independence I'm ashamed of

I don't remember the way you used to be
 
Not Even the Rain

the first and lonely days have come
a sea of state
and a heaven unknown
and I don't like the air that I breathe
it can't escape from me

I don't belong to this world no more to
better myself why don't you do it again
why don't you say it again why don't you
save me again I can't do anything

not even the rain has such small hands
another kick my soul can't stand
and I don't like the air that I breathe
and I don't like the air that I breathe
it can't escape from me

I don't belong to this world no more to
better myself why don't you do it again
why don't you say it again why don't you
save me again I can't do anything

when honesty is mine to ride
a gem dissolving shadowslide
down you better not drown
what are you going to do when the sky
falls out of this world

I don't belong to this world no more to
better myself why don't you do it again
why don't you say it again why don't you
save me again I can't do anything

I don't belong to this world no more to
better myself why don't you do it again
why don't you say it again why don't you
save me again I can't do anything

·        Feeling Holy

 

Down deep I know where I wanna be, long promised road and an island made out of me.

One drop can make you feel how I feel love, love can be a mighty meal on the hill.

One drop, gets you feeling holy,

Hello below me.

One drop gets you up, up and away.

Bad skins in bombers, blue white and green.

Chaps take a look at my hands, aint no fruit of what it can mean.

One sweet buzz can make you feel how I feel, one sweet love can make a mountain slide up the hill.

One drop, gets you feeling holy,

Hello below me.

One drop gets you up, up and away.

Ten green bottles fly down the hillside, youre too young to stay quiet.

Find a seat on your own train, I wanna share it only with you., sail on for my sweet dreamer

And were feeling so good cos we care, and were freakin about in the bush

Feelin good feelin high its a rush, count me in because I dont wanna work, in no place in the whole universe.

Im just lookin to see what Im missing, you started the riot,

·        Get on It

 

 

When youre low and Im feeling awry and its time to say goodnight when you finally lay your soul to rest, Ill be falling asleep on an empty street no matter how youre feeling you know youre never on your own. Hear the bells ring in the morning as you crawl back from the church all the buildings go up to the sky all the people goin down to the ground no matter how youre feeling you know youre never on your own. And your boss is quietly hounding as he creeps into your sleep no voice or poets pen can touch what hits you in the morning it dont matter how youre feeling you know youre never on your own you dont even have to answer the phone. Aint nobody talkin me down I will destroy you Ive shown my soul come on aint nobody listening to you Ill be you eyes, your ears. Get on it.
