Anaesthetic

I'm burning out the TV tubes
It's three o'clock and I'm confused
'Cos commitment is so complete
It's burning little holes in me
I know that I might look a mess
And she's so perfect in that Oxfam dress
She looks just like a beauty queen
Shining out in velveteen
I'm delirious

You make it better
You make the weather seem okay
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away

I love it when she comes around
She's a firework that never ends
A microchip inside my brain
I'm crawling on my knees again
It scares me the way I am
I'm buried in a sea of sand
Lying on a hand grenade
Waiting for the world to shake
I'm delirious

You make it better
You make the weather seem okay
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
You make it better, (better)
You just take the pain away

Delirious
I'm so delirious
Delirious
Delirious

You make it better
You make the weather seem okay
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
You make it better, (better)
You make the weather seem okay
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
You make it better, (better)
You make the weather seem okay
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
Away (better), away away.....

Anaesthetic
She's my anaesthetic
Anaesthetic
She's my anaesthetic
Anaesthetic
You're anaesthetic

Insomnia

Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile back home again
Images of palm trees swaying in the wind on South Beach
Takes me back to better days, summer rays, the Everglades in June

My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain

Drinking myself to sleep again
Night nurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again
Insomnia

Flying high in golden skies, I'm flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia, a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Cooper's Break
Takes me back to '84, the future's knocking at my door

My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain

Drinking myself to sleep again
Night nurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again
Insomnia

I'm drinking myself to sleep again
Night nurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again
Insomnia

Turning off the switch inside me
Leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses
Passing over the Wye Valleh
Takes me back to '84, the future's knocking at my door

My brain, my poor brain

Drinking myself to sleep again
Night nurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again
Insomnia

I'm drinking myself to sleep again
Night nurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again
Insomnia

Drinking myself to sleep again
Night nurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again
Insomnia

Picture Of Perfect Youth

Left out in the sun to dry again
Washed up on a shore line south of Spain
Gazing up with telescopic eyes
Planetary life above the sky

Oh my god
(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
She's my obsession
(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
My obsession
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes

Drifting on a boat in emerald seas
Pulling on the strings inside of me
Tasting salt as waves dive over me
Twisting on a rope of memory

Oh my god
(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
She's my obsession
(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
My obsession
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes

If you could only see
That I'm sinking like a stone
The sea is getting colder
Every second as I go
It's like breathing underwater
But I just can't let you go

(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
She's my obsession
(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
My obsession
(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
She's my obsession
(My obsession, my obsession, my obsession)
My obsession

Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes (Here she comes)

Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes

Yesterday Went Too Soon

Sitting in today
Watching traffic buzzing by
And faces nosing in
A victim of regret
It glitters then it fades away
Like silver turning grey
Washed it all away
Waiting for this dream to end
Before it sucks me in

I'm climbing high
Up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand, but I'm alone

Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through, my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday

Crashing on the ground
The silence seems to suffocate
And bury me again
Waiting for a taste
Of happiness to lift me free
And carry me away

I'm climbing high
Up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream, but I'm alive

Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through, my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday

I'll wait
I'll wait
I'll wait for you tonight

Lost another week
Feeling like a leper
In a world of vanity
It's killing me today
Addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug I need

Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday

Waiting For Changes

Office blocks, corner shops
Traffic jams on every street
The same old rush around
Obsolete, I'm a freak
In a show on Brighton Beach
As the snow comes down
Reality's kicking me
Knocking me right off my feet
As the sky spins round

We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The light's green but today's red

Laundry stops by the lock
On a Sunday afternoon
With all that fuss
Cantelowes skateboard shows
Tennants Extra by a row of recycle bins

We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The light's green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The light's green but today's red

Take a ride to Charing Cross
Join the masses as they shop
Their lives away
Twenty nine's the northern line
Heading back to lose our minds
To break the chain

We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The light's green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The light's green but today's dead
We're waiting for changes
We're waiting for changes
We're waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes

Radioman

Waking each day
No money no pay
Living in a box alone with his pain
Kissing the rain that's pouring again
Blaming the system from where he came
Trapped inside a fish eye lens
Trying to get out cause it won't change
Money doesn't mean that much to him
But maybe another bottle of gin

Here comes that radioman
he smiles, but no one sees him, yeah, yeah
Here comes that radioman
Tune in you might hear him
Radioman

Living in the same old shoes
With every step the world comes through
Like a river that flows on down
Draggin him under to the sand
He rises up to another day
The people laugh, but they don't stay
They try to hide their guilt away
With a smile that says that it's okay

Here comes that radioman
he smiles, but no one sees him, yeah, yeah
Here comes the radioman
Tune in you might hear him
Radioman, the radioman

(Somebody, somebody...)
Somebody hear me
Lift off and take me away

Here comes the radioman
he smiles, but no one sees him, yeah, yeah
Here comes that radioman
Tune in you might hear him
Radioman, the radioman
Radioman, the radioman
(Radio, radio...)

Day In Day Out

We're queueing at the tills, wishing for our lives to change
Just a piece of something new, a taste would keep us sane
Hypocrisy in every day, drills a hole deep in our brains
Searching for a little hope, a rainbow when it rains
Sitting on an empty bench, got these nails dug in my skin
Like a leopard with his kill we're going under, slipping

Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in, day out

(So, so, so...)

Stepping on a treadmill wheel, you must know how that can feel
Blows a fuse inside our minds, watch the data as it wipes
Taste the bulls**t on a plate, we just p**s our lives away
Get the hell out while you can, we're going under, sinking

Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in, day out

We're going down, we're going down, we're going down...

(So, so, so...)

Taste a new amphetamine, alcohol has sucked us in
Introverted in our ways, trapped inside this plastic skin
Now it rears its ugly self, feeds us full of selfish doubt
Got to keep ourselves afloat, we're going under get me out

Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in, day out

Under the water, don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in, day out

Tinsel Town

Falling down, reaching out
For someone to come down
Oblivious to all of us
The child that grows inside
Seventeen without a care
She's taking another ride
A sense of peace, she's waving back
To faces carved in stone

Tinsel Town, here in Tinsel Town
It's pulled you down
Life in Tinsel Town

Overthrown, reliquished all
Life breeds all around
A fun fair trip a carousel
She's trying to hang on

Here in Tinsel Town
Life in Tinsel Town
It's pulled you down
Stuck in Tinsel Town

I think she might make it
She has the will to go on
She's turning back pages as the world steps on

Here in Tinsel Town
Life in Tinsel Town
It's pulled you down
Stuck in Tinsel Town
Alone, alone, alone, so alone
Alone, alone, alone, so alone
Alone
Here in Tinsel Town
Life in Tinsel Town

You're My Evegreen

The words we say
Old flowers fade away
Remember yesterday
Wish it would bloom again
Apathy and pain
Here comes the autumn rain
Old apologies, scattered in the winds of fate

Cause today it all looks black and white
Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's

Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen, evergreen

Down on my knees
Crawling through the streets again
Surrender to my needs
So I can breathe the air
You're my evergreen
Regents Park in spring
It takes me to a place
Where I can dream again

Cause today it all looks black and white
Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's

Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen
Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself

I just want some place where I can breathe without this bitter taste
Cause today it all looks black and white
Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's grey
It all looks black and white today.

Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen
Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen, evergreen, evergreen, evergreen

Dry

Trying hard to face another day
No more left to give, nothing left to break
Melting in the sun, breathing in the day
Falling into love and climbing out again

There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me dry

Reaching out beneath a sea of pain
Riding high on wings of hope again
Chipping as the stone face cracks away
Crying out again as my bones break

There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me dry
(Love has left me dry)

Why is every minute like a year?
What if we could save ourselves from this?
Life is such a bitch and it gets worse
Fate is like a rope around your neck

There's nowhere left to run
No more tears to cry
The river's running dry
There's no more left to give
Love has left me dry
(Love has left me dry)
Love has left me dry
The river's running dry, again.

Hole In My Head

Remember yesterday?
Driving down the M4
The sun lit up your face

Playing all the tunes
Feeling like a child again
The pain has been erased

I feel much better anyhow
Until I see that black cloud

I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and world keeps crashing in

Stop looking in

Hide it all away
Keeping your heart inside a box
That no one else can take

Smile it all the way
Holding back a thousand lies
But that was yesterday

I love it when she comes around
Until I see that black cloud

I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
Got a hole in my head
Got this hole in my head

Waiting for the sun to come around
Waiting for the sun to come around

Take another smoke
I thought you said you'd give up
And does your mother know?

Take another rest
Holding out my hand again
I hope that we're still friends

I got a, I got a, I got a, I got a...

I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in
I got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps looking in
Got a hole in my head
And it's making me sad
Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in

So Well

20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, still alive
It's dragging me under
Don't think I'll recover
A stone in the water
A nail in my shoulder
Just put it together
You think you're so clever
Can we make it better?
Climb the mountain together

It's gonna break, gonna crack (Don't take me down)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack (And watch me fall)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart

Twenty years older
The city gets colder
Still reaching for cover
We live and we suffer
Just put it together
You think you're so clever
Can you make it better?
Pull the pieces together

It's gonna break, gonna crack (Don't take me down)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack (And watch me fall) Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart

40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, still alive
It's dragging me under
Don't think I'll recover
But we'll make it better
Climb the mountain together

It's gonna break, gonna crack (Don't take me down)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack (And watch me fall)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack (Don't break my bones)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack (And watch me crawl)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack (Don't take me down)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack (And watch me fall)
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart
Paralyze, oxidize, feel us drifting apart

Paperfaces

Staring at paperfaces
Expressions like empty pages
Day after day

Waiting for the lights to change now
Reaching for a cloud to come down
And cover me

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

Waiting for the world to change now
Disillusion takes a bite out
And swallows me
Looking for a way to get out
Wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

If you can learn to be yourself
Then that's okay
If you can find a reason now
Don't drift away

Walking down streets to nowhere
Stepping on feet with no cares
Losing myself

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)

Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away)
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
(Slide away, slide away, slide away, slide away...)

Bubblehead

Spinning on a roundabout as rival fools and freaks look out
We really are the same behind our smiles of plasticene
Siting on a sofa, going over catch me in your hands
Stuck inside a vacuum tube, I've lost control
I can't get out

I can't break my bubblehead
And now the world is caving in
I can't break this bubblehead
The vacuum tube has sucked me in

No sense of gravity I'm drifting off into the heat again
Makes this river tease my paranoia bleeds inside my head
Bobbing in a submarine feels like I'm in an acid trail again
Wish that I could pinch myself and wake up from this bubblehead

I can't break my bubblehead
And now the world is caving in
I can't break this bubblehead
The vacuum tube has sucked me in
I can't break my bubblehead
And now the world is caving in
I can't break this bubblehead
The vacuum tube has sucked me in

Pull it back together, heal reflections in our broken bones
We're so ridiculous, we dress it up with smiles and frowns
Anticipating, always waiting for the weather still to shine
Gazing in a crystal to the future as we lose our minds

I can't break my bubblehead
And now the world is caving in
I can't break this bubblehead
The vacuum tube has sucked me in
I can't break my bubblehead
And now the world is caving in
I can't break this bubblehead
The vacuum tube has sucked me in
I can't break my bubblehead
And now the world is caving in
I can't break this bubblehead
The vacuum tube has sucked me in

I can't break my bubblehead
I can't break this bubblehead
I can't break my bubblehead
I can't break this bubblehead
