Banana Co

Oh banana co
We really love you and we need you
And oh, banana co
We'd really love to believe you but
Everything's burning down
We've got to put it out somehow... yeah yeah...

Oh, she said no go
She said she'd like to
She's seen you but no, no go (banana co)
She says if you die then we all do
And everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow... yeah yeah...


Bishop's Robes

Dressed in Bishop's robes
Terrifies me still
In Bishop's robes

Bastard headmaster
I'm not going back

Children taught to kill
To tear themselves to bits
on playing fields

Dressed in Bishop's robes
I'm not going back...


How Can You Be Sure?
 
Seen all the good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so battered and brought to the ground
I am happy again, I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends

And when I'm like this
How can you be smiling singing
How can you be sure?

If you walk out the door
Will I see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes
I am hungry again, I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends

And when I'm like this
How can you be smiling, singing
How can you be sure?

I don't want you anymore...


india rubber  

did it all for you to see
you never wanted me that way
now the dogs have had their meat
i think i'll go plug in the mains

i tumble like a cloud
before you burn in hell
i'll suffocate myself
into your hair

will the sparrow make her smile
i'm instantly your biggest fan
how was i to know that you
practiced it beforehand?


killer cars

too hard on the brakes again
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get out of the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?
I'm going out for a little drive
It could be the last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel

They wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won't ever take me alive
Cause they all drive killer cars

Don't die on the motorway
The moon would freeze
the plants would die
I couldn't cope if you crashed today
All the things i forgot to say
I'm going out for a little drive
Could be the last time you see me alive
What if the car loses control?
What if there's someone overtaking?


Maquiladora  

Here it comes, here it comes
I can feel the hills exploding
Exploding gracefully
Burning up the freeway
Here it comes
Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
Beautiful gets into beautiful trouble
They all seem to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby burn...

Fast toyota burns rubber
Useless rockers from England
Good times had by all
Just swallow your guilt and your conscience
Blue and white birds stepping hard on the pedal
Interstate 5 runs straight down the middle
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby burn...


Molasses  

Shake Hands, Genocide, Molasses.
Jet-Powered Caravans, Molasses.
I'm Too Good, You're Stuck On
Rent Free Earthquake Zone, Molasses.

I Need Someone Else's Glasses.
Starving Waitresses In Plasters,
Fat Houseflies, Genocide,
We've Been Stitched Up, Molasses.
