A Frosty Night In Gothenburg

This is a frosty night in Gothenburg
I hate the chime of your mobile phone
You hold it to your ear like a pillow of defeat
Hidden in your snake-like hair
That aches intensive care

If it's bad enough for me
It's bad enough for you
If it's bad enough for two
It's bad enough for three hundred!

Out here on the perimeter there is a fence
Take me to your wizard fan for I'm feeling rather tense
I scarred your requiem with my black eyeliner brush
Your dark eyes piercing
Like huge messianic temples

If it's bad enough for you
It's bad enough for me
If it's bad enough for two
It's bad enough for three hundred!
Hundred!

Alternate Route To Vulcan Street

Sometimes I ponder
What if the Caspian Sea should merger
Over my shoulder
With Irish lakes and Seoul suburbia?

Abandon ship (X2)

Lift me up
High aloft to peace

I didn't know that you would take it to heart
I didn't know that it would break us apart this way

Too much
Too soon (X2)
Too much
Too bad
Goodbye
Yeah, yeah

Aluminium Illuminati

You are aluminium illuminati
A mirror to Cincinnati
They were all reserved, aaah

They all met determined fate and
I was Cain you were Abel to compare, aaah

I say aluminium
You say aluminum (X3)

They were dangerous decisions
Made by rational individuals in the past, aaah

And with little corporations
At the feet of big relations took control, aaah

I say aluminium
You say aluminum (X3)

Atomik Lust

If your moon should eclipse me
And block out my sun
Ride on typhoons and hurricanes
Watch Skymap on re-run

Fine time to walk on wine
Heads down, no stress
Find some atomic lust
Whenever, more or less

So long, the thrills long gone
No more duress
No more atomic lust
Whenever, more or less

Let's get our shit together
Insane with crack brains
I'd love to see the ending someday
Of Citizen Kane

Fine time to walk on wine
Heads down, no stress
Find some atomic lust
Whenever, more or less

Driving Denver snow, getting on with the show

Yes we work in the dark sometimes living it large

Bad Behaviour

Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Behaviour (X4)

Bad behaviour was my saviour
Making mischief used to make my day
Subsequently, accidentally
I put my fist through a windowpane

Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Behaviour (X4)

I remember once I had a brain
Amnesia never crossed my mind
Tonsillitis was my alibi
Truancy was my vocation

Bad! Bad! Bad! Bad! Behaviour (X4)

Bass Tuned To D.E.A.D.

Icy waters flow between us
In shelf life shock in the morning
I see rivers split to deltas
And trickle into the ocean

With my bow and my arrow
I will aim towards my atlas
And where I hit I'll go
And in my chosen location
I will croon a sorry sermon
And tune my bass to D.E.A.D.

Ooooh

Live volcanoes turn to craters
When their egos turn into space dust
Teleport me from this vacuum
I've some contraband information

With my bow and my arrow
I will aim towards my atlas
And where I hit I'll go
And in my chosen location
I will croon a sorry sermon
And tune my bass to D.E.A.D.

Ooooh

La la la la la la
(Just get out of my space!) (X8)

With my bow and my arrow
I will aim towards my atlas
And where I hit I'll go
And in my given location
I will croon a sorry sermon
And tune my bass to L.U.V.?

Ooooh

Bleed Forever

Cloud upon cloud cries poison rain
Slate, hair, roads glisten again
There's no console, it's no game
We were going places it's such a shame

Bleed forever
Seep from the stones
Bleed forever
Silence atones
Bleed forever
Mould us like clay
For everything we had is taken away

The gurning gunrunner wakes from his sleep
With no remorse for those who kick by his feet
Skin care consultant calls the police
But from this dungeon there is no release

Bleed forever
Seep from the stones
Bleed forever
Silence atones
Bleed forever
Mould us like clay
For everything we had has wasted away

Fate decided, rubbing your eyes
Men in tailcoats absorb the cries
Milk the scapegoat, milk it dry
Put it down and watch it die

Bleed forever
Seep from the stones
Bleed forever
Bleed to the bone
Bleed forever
Burn us away
For everything we had has wasted away
Everything we knew has wasted away

Blue Fruit

Sitting 'round when I'm on the trees
Like Glasgow breezes
Blue lagoons and classic sunsets

But you are all I'm looking for
You are why duty calls

Blue fruit, blue fruit
Blue fruit's growing on my door
Blue fruit's coming through my floor

Told me so when I go to bed
And dream of aces
Wake me up to Italian vistas

But you are what I'm looking for
You are why duty calls

Blue fruit, blue fruit
Blue fruit's growing on my door
Blue fruit's coming through my floor

I'm alive, hold me tight
Blue fruit's growing on my door
Blue fruit's coming through my floor
Blue fruit's gonna get through

Cabin Fever

Welcome back my friend
Where the hell have you been?
It's nice to feel that smile again
I can see, you can see, wait and see

The things that were once said
We'll put away to bed
Forget me not and learn I will
It's not so hard to love again, there's nothing we can't do

Time it passed me by
When we thought of you
And never more we're evermore

Aaah...

The snail it moves so slow
As I look down below
And from above I see so clear this birds eye view
That we now fear some things we can't explain

Can't believe we're there again
Snap out of it my friend!
No no no, no no no no

We said goodbye today, don't need you anyway
Praise the Lord, send it on, pass the ammunition

The time when you were near
We had nothing left to fear
But no more than just as if no reason why
If we’re to change that we should still go on

It's nice to know you're here
And we got there in the end
The future now is wide open and clear

Carbon Dating

You can't run
Though you might try
Be sure before we goodbye

Eat your drink

Through life I'll live by these rules

Who suffers fools?

Cardiff In The Sun

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la la
Cardiff in the sun (X2)

We took the Porsche down to Tiger Bay
Drank the pubs dry where bands used to play in their heyday

Cardiff in the sun

I ran amok in the luxury blocks
Smashing windows against the clock for some therapy

Cardiff in the sun

And there I glimpsed where we used to come
By the cranes and the luxury boats, this pure fantasy

Cardiff in the sun

From the tower I can see the past
Where we met and where we departed the underworld

Cardiff in the sun

Sha la la la la la la la
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la la (X2)

Caught the train to the valley again
Open castors sprinkle from Brains in the cavities

Cardiff in the sun

In the island I nearly drowned but you can count on me

Carry The Can

Have you ever seen the windows cry, as rain passes by?
Winter's branches making faces as you look to the sky
Constellations form a screaming mouth, tormented and torn
Evolution stops right here with me, my descendants will be fish

So is it time to carry the can? Is it part of the plan to be here?
(Carry the can)
You'll see me with my sun dried nose and my frostbitten toes, existing
(Carry the can)
Operating
(Carry the can)
Carry the can

Get prepared for the old orders to collapse and demise
There'll be no jumbo jets or radio cassettes left to hear
Information superhighway dug up, cracked and deformed
All the pylons twisted out of shape, their wires undone

So is it time to carry the can? Is it part of the plan to be here?
(Carry the can)
You'll see me with my sun dried nose and my frostbitten toes, existing
(Carry the can)
Operating
(Carry the can)
Carry the can

Who are we?
Who are we?
To sustain, complained

So is it time to carry the can? Is it part of the plan to be here?

Charge

Hallowed greetings my friend. We are all interested in the future for that is where you and I are going to spend the rest of our lives, whether we want to or not. And remember my friend, these future events will affect you. The future is in your hands.

Charge!

Charge!

I predict, fashion for both men and women will be exactly alike, in the new unisex trend.

Charge!

I predict, that the end of severity of dress will soon be at hand. Almost puritanical in style. With no beads, no jangles, no bracelets, men and women will wear exactly the same make-up.

Charge!

I predict, that the entertainment personalities of the future will be entertainment personalities and nothing else. When someone pays admission to hear a singer or a comedian, they will not tolerate protest messages. They will demand and receive one hundred per-cent entertainment as this is the only thing that television, or the radio sponsor, will tolerate.

Chewing Chewing Gum

[Once upon a time Cian foolishly took his chewing gum to bed. This is his warning to us all:]

[Gruff:]
Blowing bubbles
I've got stuff on my mind
A thought left behind, so

[Cian:]
Don't go chewing in bed
You might wake up with it stuck in your hair
[Repeat to end]

[Gruff:]
That's right, don't go chewing now
You might get it right stuck in your hair
Stuck in your hair
[Repeat to end]

[Bunf:]
Chew, chew, chew, chewing gum
[Repeat to end]

That's right, don't go chewing now

Chupa chupa chupacabras chupacabras chupacabras (X2)

Have you heard about the bat?
Eats your goat and then your cat
Soon enough you will not smile
When it comes you'll run a mile!

It says
"Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!
Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!"

From Mexico it came to me
I saw it down in Miami
It vamps in and out of style
When it comes you'll go loco!

It says
"Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!
Soy super bien soy super super bien soy bien bien super bien bien bien super super!"

Cityscape Skybaby

She came in smelling of cabbages
Pumpkin roots and all winters ravages
She came in around dawn, took her coat off
Burdened down by the Russian winter
Felt the warmth of the hearth

Bathed a while naked in hot water
Wash away imminent disaster
Thinking through her today and the murder
Of the bailiff and landowner
Felt no shame only gain

Cleansed the pike, peeled all the potatoes
Beetroots ripe for bellies of gigolos
Served it up for her son and her daughter
For the last time she imagines
Reprobates lie in wait

Baby bye-bye
(Bye-bye bye-bye)

Bye-bye baby

Cloudberries

She came into the room
Didn't know her name
How I danced inside
No-one to confide
In the darkest winter
I made a sound like a long lost humming bird

Ooooh...

Took a circle of friends
To the village square
Old love triangles
Made us so aware
Of a distant era
But we're still here to sing as humming birds

Ooooh...

Colonise The Moon

Colonise the moon, colonise the moon
With all the bad ideas
Colonise the moon, colonise the moon
With all the market leaders
And all the hopes but none of their fears
And all the hopes, and all the hopes
And all the hopes but none of their fears

I vomited throughout, I vomited throughout
Throughout your saxophone solo (X2)
And all those notes you bellow
And all the notes, and all the notes
And all those notes you bellow

Colonise the moon, colonise the moon
With all those warring factions
Colonise the moon, colonise the moon
With all the bad equations
They'll fight it out, they'll fight it out
They'll fight until extinction

Ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh (X2)

Cryndod Yn Dy Lais
Trembling In Your Voice

Cryndod yn dy lais
Trembling in your voice
Yn peri gofid
Causing worry

Cryndod yn dy lais
Trembling in your voice
Yn peri gofid
Causing worry
Credaf i ddim gair mawr 'sgen ti
I don't believe you've got a big word
Ddweud "beth sydd yn bod?"
Saying "what's the matter?"
Dy asgwrn isel
Your low bone
Beth ddigwyddodd neithiwr sgwn i?
Who knows what happened last night?

Cynnil yw dy eiriau
Your words are limited
Cymleth yw'n nheimladau i
My feelings are complicated

Ac mae'r cryndod yn dy lais
And the trembling in your voice
A hen alawon
And old melodies
Yn atsain drwy fy esgyrn
Echo through my bones
Estyn law i'n nhynnu i
Extend a hand to pull me
Yn ôl i'th lanfa
Back to your base
Ond ofer yw fy eiriau anffawd crin
But vain are my words of withered misfortune

A nadroedd rhwng yr rhedyn
And snakes among the fern
Yn pigo cnawd fy sodlau i
Stinging the flesh of my feet

Ac mae cryndod yn dy lais
And there's trembling in your voice
Cryndod yn dy lais
Trembling in your voice
Yn peri gofid
Causing worry

Dacw Hi
There She Is

Dacw hi, a'i gwyneb mewn poen
There she is, her face screwed up in pain
Mae hi newydd gael ei phigo gan byr ar ei chroen
She's just been stung by a bee on her skin
Mae'n gafael mewn papur cyfagos a'i daro ar y wal
She picks up a rolled newspaper then hits the wall
Mae'n gadael gwennynen ar ôl sydd yn sicr wedi ei dal
Revealing a squashed up old wasp that has definitely been caught

Mae hi'n ddoniol
She's so funny
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
(She's so funny)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
She sees everything
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
(She sees everything)
Ac mae'n medru gweld
And she has eyes
Drwy gefn ei phen
On the back of her head
Dim dioloch i'r Drefn
No thanks to the Feds

Mae'n fore iau ac mae'n mynd i'r gwaith
Thursday morning on her way to work
Wrth gau ei drws mae hi'n tynnu at saith
As she closes her door it's coming up to seven
Wrth gau ei chôt rhag yr oerni mae hi'n colli pishyn punt
Whilst wrapping her coat from the cold she loses a pound coin
Mae'n ei bigo o fyny yn syth cyn troi nôl i mewn i'r gwynt
She picks it up with no hesitation and turns back into the wind

Mae hi'n ddoniol
She's so funny
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
(She's so funny)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
She sees everything
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
(She sees everything)
Ac mae'n medru gweld
And she has eyes
Drwy gefn ei phen
On the back of her head
Dim dioloch i'r Drefn
No thanks to the Feds

Mae hi'n ddoniol
She's so funny
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
(She's so funny)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
She sees everything
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
(She sees everything)
Mae hi'n ddoniol
She's so funny
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
(She's so funny)
Neith hi chwerthin ar ddim
She'll laugh at nothing
(Neith hi chwerthin ar ddim)
(She'll laugh at nothing)

Mae hi'n ddoniol
She's so funny
(Mae hi'n ddoniol)
(She's so funny)
Mae'n sylwi pob dim
She sees everything
(Mae'n sylwi pob dim)
(She sees everything)
Ac mae'n medru gweld
And she has eyes
Drwy gefn ei phen
On the back of her head
Dim dioloch i'r Drefn
No thanks to the Feds
Unwaith drachefn
Once more I guess
Amen

Death By Melody

Give me sleaze, Welsh cakes and cheese
Look so divine, tell me they're mine
And this thing doesn't rhyme

The rights are wrong, the left have gone right
Thought they might taste the Angel Delight
And swot him in sight

I can make no sense of it
Living in the thick of it
Can't make head nor tail of it
Living in the thick of it (X2)

When I was aged under three
I went insane on the climbing frame
I totally lost it

Searching for the land of my dreams
The Soviet's rave and nuns misbehave
And nobody rules but

I can make no sense of it
Living in the thick of it
Can't make head nor tail of it
Living in the thick of it (X2)

Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do
Do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do do

La la la, la la la la la
Zippedy do
Zippedy don't
Zippedy I don't know (X2)

I can make no sense of it
Living in the thick of it
Can't make head nor tail of it
Living in the thick of it (X4)
Living
Living
Living
Living
Wooooh!

Demons

Clarity just confuses me
The lines drawn on a map a strange assembly

When there's northerners in southerners
And westenders in eastenders
And sunny days in January
Left spaces in my diary

But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
Coz the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

Coz I know that
Apathy only ruined me
Hanging around waiting for calamity

And by the year four million
Our skins will be vermilion
I own a dartboard memory
So I'll forget any felony

But the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
For the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

Coz I know that you know that we know they don't know what's going on

And the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while
For the demons never need to know
What the demons never got to see
As we fall in and out of line
Stay in touch now for a while

For the demons never need to read
What they never got around to write
A flirt with mediocrity
Comes with a heavy penalty
But the demons never need to read
What they never got around to write
A flirt with mediocrity
Comes with a heavy penalty

Coz I know that you know that we know they don't know what's going on

Dial: Revenge

Arbed amser ar ben fy hun
Saving time alone
Cynnal cof ac atgofion blin
Sustaining my mind with bad memories
Pwyth am bwyth, chwant am chwant
Switch by switch, lust for lust

A pob tro dwi'n codi'r ffon
And every time I pick up the phone
Mae'n dweud "dial"
It flashes up "revenge"
Dial anweddus, nid grym arswydus aur, thus a myrr
A specific revenge, not the general terror of all that gold, frankincense and myrrh

Tonfedd sur a chalon o ddur
A sour frequency brings on a headache
Adeiladu ffiniau eglur
With an iron heart I build clear borders
Newid tonfedd, nofio'r don
I change tack, ride the wave

Dal yr abwyd nerth dy ben
Catching that bait with all the energy that my head can muster
Cwyd i'r wyneb
Rising to the surface
Dial anweddus, nid grym arswydus aur, thus a myrr
An explicit revenge, not the general terror of all that gold, frankincense and myrrh

Dial...

Ar ol llond poced o fadarch roes ti'r ty ar dan
After a pocket full of mushrooms you set the house on fire
Doedd pethau ddim r'un fath ers ith rieni arwahanu
Things weren't the same since your parents splitting
Hywel ac Anian yn nofio yn un
Hywel and Anian swimming as one
Aeth pethau mor eithafol doedd na neb di sylweddoli
Things became so excellent nobody had noticed

Dim bendith ar dy ben di
No blessing on your head

Arswyd mae dy ddyddiau mor faith
Shocked that your days are so tedious
Does wybod lle i sbio pan fod pawb mor ddauwynebog
No knowing where to look when everyone is so two-faced
Cysgu di heno febyn annwyl dy fam
You will sleep tonight, your mother's dear baby
Mae'n anodd treulio mil pan fo'r ddinas mor ddi hafant
It's difficult to spend a thousand when the city's so unsummery

Paid dyfaru byth
Don't ever regret
Na, dwi'm yn chwerthin ar dy ben di
No, I'm not laughing at you

Dim bendith ar dy ben di
No blessing on your head

Don't Be A Fool, Billy!

Don't be a fool, Billy!
Don't be a fool
Life can be cruel
The light of your life
Gave you some strife, Billy

And now you're alone, Billy
Nobody's at home
You'll die there alone
Looking around
No-one to be found at your humble abode

We'll be there to pick you up
To light your Bensons
To fill your car
We'll be with you 'til the end
Don't be a stranger

Be a friend
Billy
Silly Billy

What's mine is yours, Billy
What's yours is mine
It suits us just fine
For better or not
Let's drink to the future and forget the past

We'll be there to pick you up
To light your Bensons
To fill your car
We'll be with you 'til the end
Don't be a stranger

Be a friend
Billy

Don't be such a fool
Don't be such a fool
Don't be such a fool)

Down A Different River

Stuffed to the eyeballs with God knows what
You're a conversational hazard
Talking so quickly with so much ease
I think you might have just snorted a blizzard
Oh! Won't you tell it to someone else?

And we'll go down a different river
And we'll see where it carries us
Meet me at the muster station
And if the ship's going down we'll swim for the ground
Come on, come and join us here

Living a lie when I'm lying here
I've got windswept eyes in the morning
Doesn't improve as the day goes on
You've got shagpile perm in the evening!
If I could only make out the door

And we'll go down a different river
And we'll see where it carries us
Meet me at the muster station
And if the ship's going down we'll swim for the ground
Come on, come and join us here, here, here, here

If I could only make out the door!
If I could only make out the door!
If I could only make out the door!
If I could only make out the door!
(Slowly down a different river)
If I could only make out the door!
(Slowly down a different river)
If I could only make out the door!
(Slowly down a different river)
If I could only make out the door!
(Slowly down a different river)
If I could only make out the door!
(Slowly down a different river
Slowly down)

There are people who think, and people who don't
And the people who don't are the ones who have most
There are people who lie, and others who cry
And the people who lie are the ones that get by
In the corporate rush to devour the new
We'll be losing our friends who will number but few
Position yourself on another mans cruise

(Drawing) Rings Around The World

You expose the film in me
We're drawing rings around the world
Sooner or later we will melt together
And draw rings around the world
With all those meteoric stones
And all those sheep they never cloned
Okay!

I am glowing radioactive
We draw beams around the world
Wish you could see us when we're at our best now
We draw rings around the world
With cans of Post Water in tow
We're gonna vaporize your soul
Ha-ha!

Earth will become Saturn II
We're drawing those rings around the world
Tetsuo II became me and you
With all those rings around the world
And all those body hammer blows
We're drawing rings around the world
Ha-ha!

Ring! Ring!
(Hello?)
Ring! Ring!
(Hello?)
Rings around the world

I had the measles whilst you had a tan
You scanned the Autocue with sincere mind

Just taking the can from the staff around the van

For fourteen dollars and ninety-two (cents)
Revenge for all those unanswered calls (just remember)

Fire In My Heart

I've got a fire in my heart for you
I've got a fire in my heart for you
I've got a fire in my heart
Though I'm falling apart
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you

I've got pins and needles for you
I've got pins and needles for you
You've got needles and pins
And the seven deadly sins
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you

I've a butterfly stomach for you
I've a butterfly stomach for you
And as the cars fly by
I just break down and cry
Still I've got a fire in my heart for you

Well the monkey puzzle tree
Has some questions
For the watchdogs of the profane
And I ask is it sad
That I'm driving myself mad
As this fire in my heart turns blue?

I've got a fire in my heart for you (X4)

Foxy Music

Quite some time ago when I was younger
Maybe eight or nine
A friend of mine had nearly met his
Death before his prime

On a day out with his family now
Walking and having fun
A farmer saw his head behind a wall
And reached for his gun

He was paranoid for foxes had been
Chewing up his stock
And now he prayed for a scapegoat
To behead upon the block

Now I know that's wrong in the first place
But it's not the point of the song
And on this pretty 'culiar day
The farmer got it wrong

Sometimes I think
That my mind's on the blink
Then I look back to this story
I see I do not need a shrink

You see my friend had a full head of hair
The colour of ginger red
Now in the distance the farmer looked
With a gun aimed at his head

He put two plus two together thinking
Red would equal fox
As he squeezed the trigger I believe
That he was totally off his box

Well my friend was rushed to hospital
In an ambulance of grief
And his father had a heart attack
In the shock of disbelief

Sometimes I think
That my mind's on the blink
Then I look back to this story
I see I do not need a shrink

Sometimes I think
That my mind's on the blink
Then I look back to this story
I think I do not need a shrink

Now there's a lesson in this story
Although it reached a happy end
That just coz he's got red hair
Doesn't mean that he's a fox
No, just coz he's got red hair
Doesn't mean that he's a fox

Waah!

Fragile Happiness

Well that fragile happiness
Keeps me from forgetting
That this fragile happiness
Keeps me afloat when I'm sinking

The first generation
Caused such a sensation
Gave all an elation
For I'm in Deep Space Nine
Hitting wormholes all of the time

But that fragile happiness
Stops the nightmares when I'm sleeping
And where Catholics confess
From my guilt there's no escaping

We'll go to Miami
Take old friends and family
We'll stay out and party
Does Will Smith lie?
Does he ever cave in and cry?

Or Anglepoise lamps, limos and shades

But the jury's whipped, gagged and drugged
Take away the blinkers from your eyes

Frisbee

Locked in a sorry dream
You know we're drowning in designer ice cream
I scream: "This is the present but it's no surprise"
Then I realise
(To see you, to see you, to see you)
What I see I spies
(Nice to see you, to see you, to see you)
The past was eagle-eyed
(To see you, nice to see you, to see you, to see you)
The future's pixelised
(To see you, nice to see you, to see you, to see you, to see you)

I had my Frisbee sharpened and honed
I had it galvanised and chromed
Decapitate and bury your toys
My Frisbee brings the noise
(To see you, to see you, to see you)
What I see I spies
(Nice to see you, to see you, to see you)
The past was eagle-eyed
(To see you, nice to see you, to see you, to see you)
The future's pixelised

Fuzzy Birds

[Bunf has a hamster: Stavros. I had a dream in which Bunf wired up Stavros' wheel to a dynamo system producing electricity for his house. This is their story:]

[Bunf:]
Hamster, turning 'round in your wheel
I've got something to tell you
I can harness your feel
Dynamo for electricity
You empower my feelings
Give me light for me to see

[Stavros:]
So won't you give me some food?
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
The world is turning, kicking, screaming 'round my little head
To spread it on my bread
Don't you know that I spread it on my bread?

[Bunf:]
Rest yourself you've been long on your feet
If I buy you a matchbox
Will you keep it all neat?
Radiate, you're no flash in the pan
You're the battery incarnate
I'm an innocent man

[Stavros:]
So won't you give me some food?
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
I really need to get some energy in me
Give me some
The world is turning, kicking, screaming 'round my little head
To spread it on my bread
Don't you know that I spread it on my bread?

Gathering Moss

Lost capacity
For infinity
You and me are idly
Gathering moss

Fields of industry
Death by misery
You and I are idly
You and me are idly
Gathering moss

False security
Faked insanity
You and I united by
Itemised bills

Kills my sympathy
Builds my agony
You and me are idly
You and I are idly
Gathering moss

But when you see me
I'll be idly sweeping
The dust away
(Dust away)
Look here comes the shore again
And we'll aim there to be merry

You and I are idly
You and I are idly
You and me
Gathering moss
You and me
Gathering moss
You and me are idly

God! Show Me Magic

I had a soul transplant operation
Coz my bypass didn't function
So now I'm keeping on my toes
'Til I see your one man show

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me mad

Wouldn't it be nice to know
What the paper doesn't show
What the TV doesn't say
And what my hamster's ate today?

Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me magic
Show me mad

God! Show me magic
God! Show me magic
God! Show me magic
God! Show me mad

Show me magic
Show me magic

Golden Retriever

"Hey!" said the Devil
When I met her at the roundabout
She's got powers magnetic
Devours you of everything you've got

She's a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
And then she'll cream you dry

Wow!

"Stop!" said the puppy
When I met him at the zebra cross
Said "you'll need protection from every direction
But she'll get you anyhow"

Coz she's a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
And then she'll cream you dry

Wow!

She's a golden retriever

You and me
And the guy from the Sparks
Hanging out with Howard Marks

We're the three musketeers yeah
Gather 'round with your beers yeah
There's no need for the fears

Throw a penny into my plastic satellite dish
And make a wish
I wish you farewell
Buy buy! Sell sell!
I bid you goodbye
Sell sell! Sky-high! Sell sell!
Oooh oooh oooh oooh

A big fax
And a portion of lies
Washed down with a dire choke

Pass the mic to your lover
Turn around and find another
Pass the buck to your brother

And make a wish
I bid you farewell
Buy buy! Sell sell!
I bid you goodbye

Happiness Is A Worn Pun

What a marvellous dress
You look like a murderess
A ba-ba-barbarian
Dyslexic librarian
She looks me in disgust
There's no room for discourse
I'll shake like a Quaker
So see you later

We roar (X4)

She fake like a painter
Who doubts her career
Me pagan consumer
Be consumed by fear
Dysfunctional sasquatch
In a bowling alley
It's no such tragedy
It's funny every

We roar (X4)

And the sasquatch says
*Roaring noises*

Happiness is a worn pun (X6)

Helium Hearts

Got my nose nose nose to smell the ground
Eyes eyes eyes a'look around
Teeth to chew and feet to kick and with a mouth that can forge a relationship

The chin chin chin what do you bring?
Throat and mouth can make me sing
Hands to hold the phone that rings the chin chin chins what do you bring?

It's cool to find what keeps us all together
It's fun to learn what everything is for

Ears hear distant sounds
Fingers built the castle mounds
Hair keeps me warm on winter's nights so the tongue can taste the Vegemite

The chin chin chin what do you bring?
Lungs of air can make me sing
Fingers hold the wedding ring
Chin chin chin what do you bring?

It's cool to find what keeps us all together
It's fun to learn what everything is for

So here go the changes past
Should have rung me in advance
Said I was built to hold a grin or a mile wide smile for smouldering

So chin chin chin that's what you bring
Lungs of air can make me sing
Fingers hold the wedding ring
And the chin chin chin keeps us smiling

It's cool to find what keeps us all together
And now we know the chin holds all the smiles (X2)

Hello Sunshine

(So hard to say goodbye
Meaning it today
I've said goodbye before
Leaving you alone
By the sea
So hard to say goodbye)

Hello sunshine
Come into my life (X2)

In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life

I'm a minger
You're a minger too
So come on minger
I want to ming with you

In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life

You're not so innocent
You're a disgrace to your country
If you fled a million miles
I'd chase you for a day
(If I could be bothered)

Hermann ©'s Pauline

Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann
They made love and gave birth to a little German
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)
They call him MC² because he raps like no other
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)
An asthma sufferer like Ernesto Guevara
(Hermann loves Pauline and Pauline loves Hermann)

Too much Monte Cristo Number Four

Pass the ventolin I need some more

They never noticed him at school they tell me
He kept himself to himself
He used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed him at school they tell me
He suffered poor health
He used to vacantly stare out the window
Feeling under

Why do you do what they tell you?

Marie Curie was Polish born but French bred, ha! French bread!
Of course she ended up dead from radiation
Slow invisible suffocation
Down the twenty-four hour garage or any service station
I lead my life in a quest for information
Sensurrounded by pies and books
Middle-aged drivers and deranged cooks

They never noticed her at school they tell me
She kept herself to herself
She used to sit and stare up at the ceiling
Hermann loves Pauline
They never noticed her at school they tell me
She suffered poor health
She used to vacantly stare out the window

Hit And Run

History just fades to insignificance
Listen to what I've got to say
Now what would you do
If you were in my shoes?
Tell me

Previously to this I had no adventure
Life was just a Jurassic lark
Now what would you do
If it happened to you?
Tell me

Hit and run
Blow my mind
Get it together
Leave your future behind

Make my day
Found the key to a parallel universe
Found the key to a parallel universe
Don’t tell me I've lost it
(Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone, gone)

Found the eggs one night up by the quarry
Then I hid them underneath of my bed
If I only knew
For I had not a clue!
Now I've

Pterodactyls flying 'round my attic
They were incubated by the boiler
They're green with some blue
What on Earth will I do?
Tell me

Hit and run
Blow my mind
Get it together
Leave your future behind

Make my day
Found the key to a parallel universe
Found the key to a parallel universe
Don’t tell me I've lost it

Will the dinosaurs come back and haunt us
I've a bet down fifty-to-one
And with the money maybe
(One day I'll build my own parallel university
With a park and good facilities for all who enroll
Glyndwr would be so proud he never got around to build one himself
Although he planned to do so, told his kids so)

Hit and run
Blow my mind
Get it together
Leave your future behind

DNA
Make my day
Get it together
Leave your future behind

Steer blind
Get it together

Hometown Unicorn

I was lost
Lost on the bypass road
Could be worse
I could be turned to toad

Won't you take me back to my hometown?
Take me back before I break down

I say you please return me
Will you ever return me?
Will you ever return me?
Just like Frankie Fontaine (X2)

I wonder what can I do?

Ice Hockey Hair

She's got ice hockey hair
It's instamatic and it has such flair
And when the puck hits the back of the cage
She feels the tingle of a quiet rage

She thinks it's tasty
Me thinks it's hasty
Take me to a chorus line

Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
I've got the lunar madness
And it's coming straight to you

Table tennis rules
They're so confusing it's not played by fools
And with my time filled to the brim
You may suggest to me anything

Phone me, page me
Fax me 'til I'm silly
Answer me today

Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Can you point me a direction I can take my shoes?
What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?
I get the impression that we're overdue
You're my Auto Teller
Oh won't you tell me something good?

Maybe you think I'm shady
But I sing your language baby
(Ba ba ba ba ba ba
Oooooh)

What did I do to you to make you feel so blue?

Welcome to the family, I've a mother and a granny
And a father and a brother and a sister and a lover

They come once or twice removed, with nothing left to prove

We've got relations
He's got relations
She's got relations too

Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Do we find it in a direction to be true to you?
What did we do to you to make you feel so blue?
Tell me there's a reason hanging over you
Has the family met you?
Coz we're coming straight to you

Conflict and persuasion in the business population
You can tell me about tradition but I don't know what it means
And I'm coming off the rebound like a ping-pong ball
I reach so high I go right through the sky

We've got relations
He's got relations
She's got relations too

Tell me what to do if it all falls through
Do we find it in a direction to be true to you?
What did we do to you to make you feel so blue?

If You Don't Want Me To Destroy You

If you don't want me to destroy you
Take a leaf out of my book
Turn it 'round and have a look

Because I don't want you to destroy me
I'll commit myself to be
In and out of every tree

Gravity
You just hold me down so quietly
You just hold me back

When the insects fly all around you
Do you reach and aim a hit
Or do you lie around a bit?

And when the animals gather 'round you
Do you ask them for the time
Or do you run away and whine?

Gravity
You just hold me down so quietly
You just hold me back

Gravity
You just hold me down so quietly
You just pull me down to Earth

Let me go into the depths of your infinity
I can sense your presence in the vicinity

Hey Venus did you catch the sun?
Hey Venus did you catch the sun?
I'm searching for the sound that shines
Into the night
Into night
Into night

She blew my mind up by remote control
Where my ears were you'll see a hole
Take a look inside and we will fly
Into the night

On the horizon we can hear a noise
Come and get us with an ancient poise
Professorsaurus come and teach the sound
That shines a light
Into the night
Into night

Shine! Shine through the Milky Way
Keep all the ghosts at bay
Shine through the Milky Way
Shine! Shine through the Milky Way
Leave me in disarray
Shine through the Milky Way
Ay ay ay ay ay! Ay ay aaaay!

Was so relaxed I threw my watch into the sea and watched it drift away
Consummated as a castaway
Still searching for the sound that shines
Into the night

Bring all your friends and get them all involved
Roll up your sleeves and get the problem solved
Together we build a sun that shines
Into the night
Into the night
Into night

Shine! Shine through the Milky Way
Keep all the ghosts at bay
Shine through the Milky Way
Shine! Shine through the Milky Way
Blind me by ricochet
Shine through the Milky Way
Ay ay ay ay ay!

Shine! Shine through the universe
Into the night immerse
Shine through the universe
Shine! Shine through the Milky Way

It's Not The End Of The World?

Why...? (X2)

When you fall asleep
Before the end of the day
You start to worry

Like when the taxi comes
To take you away
When you're in no hurry

Yet as our hair turns white
All the stars still shine so bright above

At least it's not the end of the world?

Why...?

We could live it large
Coz we're only old once
Let's make a difference

Turn all the hate in the world
Into a mockingbird
Make it fly away

Yet as our hair turns grey
Everything is far from A-OK

At least it's not the end of the world?
No no?
At least it's not the end of the world?

Why...? (X3)

Juxtapozed With U

It's easy when you know how
To get along without Biff! Bang! Pow!
And if I see you're fed up
I'll stop and give you a leg up
Overpriced unreal estate, surreal estate
The highest price they've hit to date
Creating new divides and tension

You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
You've got to tolerate
Some of those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you

This is a tale of two city/situations
Mutual appreciation
Away from narrow preconception
Avoiding conflict hypertension
Non-phobic word aerobic
This was my domain
'Til someone stole my name

You've got to tolerate
All those people that you hate
I'm not in love with you
But I won't hold that against you
You've got to tolerate

Keep The Cosmic Trigger Happy

I came to meet you off the Western Line
We hailed a taxi to save drinking time
It's hustle bustle, don't you feel the rush?
The law can't touch us with their flimsy brush

And that's why I persist
Where others can resist temptation
To be with you
I'm going to keep the cosmic trigger-happy
Keep the cosmic trigger-happy
Keep it real

I know the doorman at the Hippo Club
(He's called Paul)
He let us in for free to hear the dub
(He engineered us once on a track called Don't Be A Fool, Billy)
We drank a double at the upstairs bar
(On Fierce Panda Records)
Then headed downstairs coz it's better by far

And that's why I persist
Where others can resist temptation
To be with you
I'm going to keep the cosmic trigger-happy
Keep the cosmic trigger-happy
Keep it real

And that's why I persist
Where others can resist temptation
To be with you
I'm going to keep the cosmic trigger-happy
Keep the cosmic trigger-happy
Keep it
Keep it

Lazer Beam

No more imperial colonial bastards
No more romantic comedies
This is a fanfare introduction to a high-powered, purposeful theme)

Take a shine of our laser beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you (X4)

The resistance in the distance
Creeping closer, have no fear
Land in anguish, we escape it
In our rocket propelled spaceship

Take a shine of our laser beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you (X4)

Human being, human doing
Human error, human terror
Human nature, human hate you
Human crying, human leaving

Take a shine of our laser beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you (X4)

Take a shine of our laser beam
And we'll cleanse all the evil within you (X8)

Point your random finger
And point it to the sky
Point your random finger

Human kind loves money
We just love to fly
(Fly fly fly)

Lazy Life (Of No Fixed Identity)

Reactionary meltdown
No-one could be bothered
It's a lazy, lazy life
Such a lazy, lazy life

I was feeling hungry
Didn't have no money
So you let me in your door
Didn't know where I'd been before
Oh no!

It's a lazy life (X8)

Iron out the creases
Rip it up to pieces
And it felt so horrible
Coz we're gonna make them die

Liquidise your muffins
Stick 'em in the frying pan
It's all the rage today
Just to say that's all so cool
Oh no!

It's a lazy life (X8)

You've got a fat chance
Of beating them home
We've got 'em shut down
Bumped up
Stuck up my oak tree
I feel sorry for you
If you categorise me
Coz we are of no fixed identity

It's a lazy life (X8)

Let The Wolves Howl At The Moon

Packed her life in a bag
Sucking deep on a fag
Said goodbye to the mirror
Threw her keys in the river
And ran along

Took the train to the city
Had her grandmothers beauty
Got the luckiest of breaks
Spotted buying a rake for herself
In the garden centre

Bring down those darkest years
Bring down the chandeliers
We'll take you on at your game

Let the wolves howl at the moon (X2)
For the end it comes so soon
Let the wolves howl at the moon

Little by little
Took that road to the middle
No more peripheral vision
Now she's on television
Making light of her past excesses

Bring down the chandeliers
Bring down these darkest years
We'll take you on at your game

Let the wolves howl at the moon (X2)
For the end it comes so soon
Let the wolves howl at the moon

Let the wolves howl at the moon (X2)
For the end it comes so soon
Let the wolves howl at the moon

Liberty Belle

(It's all fine now)

Liberty Belle is ringing out across the sea
And everyone sings along though she's singing way out of key
From the shores of Galilee
To the runways of Anglesey

You know we're digging to hell
Right past your own well
As the magpies fly from Tallahassee to the sky

Memory Lane forgot her way after all this time
And she never learnt from her mistakes and all the crime
That caused the gulf of misery
That's separating you from me

You know we're digging to hell
Drowning in our oil wells
As the seagulls fly from Abu Dhabi to the sky

The birds still sing their melodies
Their songs of love and food and trees, oh my how they fly
So little do they know yet their days are numbered so
Alarms are ringing in the trees

You know you've been to hell
Drowning in your oil wells
As the ashes fly from New York City
Past the grimy clouds above New Jersey
Past the kids who like to smoke like chimneys to the sky

Mario Man

The blim holes in my shell suit
Joined into an absolute
And fell apart one day

They stitched me up in Everton
Then they took me to a surgeon
Lost on penalties

Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Mario man (X4)

I married at the altar
The village idiots daughter
Oh! Lucky me

We honeymooned in Cyprus
That's where she caught the virus
I flew home alone

So I bought myself a chip pan
And I sailed it to the Isle of Man
For a holiday

Struggling in a vortex
With my jacket made of Gore-Tex
It fits wonderfully

Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Mario man (X4)

"Zap! Zap!
Wham! Wham!"
Says the Mario man today
(He's played so hard he's got blisters on his fingers)

Do do do do, do do do do, do do do do
Mario man (X4)

Missunderstanding (sic)

Miss Understanding sits at top of the class
Looking down on the gathered mass
Bad blood is boiling through her varicose vein
A power-crazed amusement game

Miss Understanding
You don't stimulate me
I'm down, down, down, down, down

Miss Understanding
You just irritate me
I'm down, down, down, down, down

Mr Articulate is going to town
Your giant words just bring me down
A drunken master dressed in ironed silk
Select your options but please don't think

Miss Understanding
You don't stimulate me
I'm down, down, down, down, down

Miss Understanding
You just irritate me
I'm down, down, down, down, down

In this 'hood I'm misunderstood
In this 'hood I'm misunderstood
In this 'hood I'm misunderstood
In this neighbourhood I'm misunderstood

Miss Understanding
You don't stimulate me
I'm down, down, down, down, down

Miss Understanding
You just irritate me
I'm down, down, down, down, down

Miss Understanding
You don't stimulate me
I'm down, down, down, down, down

Moped Eyes

One, two, three, four

Hot clubs and endless nights
Hot clubs and endless nights
Hot lies and alibis
Dark days seem light years away

I can see through your lies
Coz you've got moped eyes (X2)

Safe house for suffering
Shitbags and shattering sighs
Sore eyes, mosquito bites
Zip up and zig-zag away

I can see through your lies
Coz you've got moped eyes (X2)

Hot wheels at traffic lights
Hot deals, transactional rights
From middle-aged sophisticates
To stone-aged reprobates

I can see through your lies
Coz you've got moped eyes
(I'm a little surprised) (X2)

I can see through your lies
Coz you've got moped eyes

Motherfokker

Yeah what it is
I got one of them posters of an alien
Smoking a spliff and he says
"Take me to your dealer", wicked

Oooh motherfucker
Motherfucker
Motherfucker (X2)

Got no wobbly lines on the screen or nothing bro
You got anything coming through?
I got bubbles and lines on the screen
Proper science, here we go

My old man he said to me
"I saw a UFO in '73"
He came here from the Crucible
And left me stuttering this very word, it goes this

Oooh motherfucker
Motherfucker
Motherfucker (X2)

Tried life in outer space
Became too busy got no mum to face
He huddled briefly and buried his head
Then come back home to get back into bed

Oooh motherfucker
Motherfucker
Motherfucker (X6)
Oooh motherfucker

Oh my name's Dwain Xain, I'm in the GLC
I first said "motherfucker" back in 1983
Like the Alien trilogy with Sigourney Weaver
Or E.T. getting fucked up on Sensimilla
Or Mel Gibson, you've seen the Signs
From the pyramids of Egypt to the Nazca Lines
Anal probe, I'm missing days
Got abducted by aliens when I was having a blaze

Like Wayne Kramer from MC5
Weird looking fuckers with bell ends for eyes
They pin you down and stick their fingers in
Alien abduction, this is how it begins
They take samples of your eyes and your teeth
E.T. phone home with his fingers on your beef
Using mind tricks, they made me undress
This alien race is really getting me stressed

Oh motherfucker, alien abduction
I first saw the lights over Abersychan
And they started touching me, no-one heard my screams
With blood, French kiss, was it real or a dream?
Meteorites and space debris
Roswell, the George Adamski's
Spaceships and blokes with grey skin
The middle finger, they're sticking it in

They came down from space and gave an intimate massage
They smile and wank you off with a discharge
That's the problem with a close encounter
You might get a blowie but you don't get to mount her
Assemble your troops and alert the nations
We've taken over your highways and TV stations
Alien conflict this is how it was planned
Like Cylon's in space, saying "bye old man"

Oooh motherfucker
Motherfucker
Motherfucker (X3)
Oooh motherfucker
Motherfucker

Mountain People

They don't care about
You and me
Obviously
No not us
We're the mountain people

So far away from those
Tree-lined streets
Look so neat
Not for us
No fat chance
We're the mountain people

They'll seek us in the valley
They'll seek us on the plain
They own the milk and runny honey
And they're not quite the same

And we
Live together under
Fantasy
Oak trees
In the dark
We make sparks
So unique
We're the mountain people

Curiosity comes to
Plead with me
Vanity
Strangles me
Pulls me
Shakes me down
We're the mountain people

They'll seek us in the valley
They'll seek us on the plain
They own the milk and runny honey
And they're not quite the same

Because
They don't care about
You and me
Obviously
Hand-me-down
Culture
Waiting for the vulture
Yes, yes, yes
We're the mountain people

Hibernation comes so early
This year
Dig the peat
Pile it high
Let it dry
One last chance at ignorance
No fat chance
We're the mountain people

One short blast was
Followed by
Two longer ones
Short blast
Long blast
Coming from the outcast
Put me in a deep freeze
And I'll sneeze
With the mountain people

From a distance
I can see them
Pacing
(Marching)
Upstream
Slowly
Ruthlessly
And then
Steady
Nets and cages
Open
Ready
Long-term
Memory
Soothes me
Worry
Take me
Break me
Any way you fancy

Deep freeze put me in it and I'll sneeze
A deep freeze put me in it and I'll sneeze
A deep freeze put me in it and I'll sneeze
A deep freeze put me in it

(So I'll make history)

Don't remember where I lost her
When did she get off the bus?

I need you
You're my trophy girlfriend
To be seen to
You drive me 'round the bend
To be near you
You know I'm losing control
Of my ego
Oh, I need you so badly
Oh!

Have you seen her, Mrs Spector?
I'm her bodyguard and protector
Don't remember where I lost her
Must protect her
Not neglect her

Have you seen her, Mrs Spector?

Don't remember where I lost her
When did she get off the bus?

Mt.

I wasn't looking for a mountain
There was the mountain
It was a big fucking mountain
So I climbed the mountain
It was no ordinary mountain
It was a strange looking mountain
But when I got to the top it was two foot tall it was oh so small

But coming down from my mountain
There was nothing to stop me
Prepared for the future
Accomplish that left behind me
With a tortoise tempo
I move on gradually
My ship was leaking, "no danger" I said "you can use my compass instead"

From a ring a ring o' roses
As we head through history
From a land that is quite cursed
Here come the cavalry
If the king stayed behind us
Detached from reality
And when the time comes you will know what I mean when we all fall down

I wasn't looking for a mountain
But there was a mountain
It was a big fucking mountain
So I climbed the mountain
It was no ordinary mountain
It was a strange looking mountain
But when I got to the top it was two foot tall it was oh so small

My mind was scrambling
For a thought that was happening
Do we need more than diplomacy
To get us through tragedy
One thing is for sure
You can't beat solidarity
So on my return it was clear as day it was all okay

Might not look for the mountain
But there's always a mountain
So make a molehill from the mountain
And banish all mountains
Now there’s no more mountains
What else can there be?
And the sunset falls, the Isle of Wisdom told me "no matter where you go, there you are"

Sometimes feel I'm running aground
When I'm running around, running around
Round, round, round
Sometimes I feel lost when I'm found
Yes I'm lost when I'm found, head in the ground
Boo! Hoo! Hoo!
People feel so free when they're bound
To the circular pound after circular pound
Wow! Wow! Wow!
I believe in death after life
Yes in death after life, switch off the light
Bye bye!

Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh! Oh!

Sometimes I get lost in the mall
Well I'm feeling so small, no longer tall
A ha ha
Insignificant and in thrall
Of the force of it all, back to the wall
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Shithole made to look underground
When I'm buying my round, I make my sound
Boom! Boom! Boom!
Spending all my time buying stuff
When I'm more than enough, more than enough
Cough! Cough!

Never More

I guess I'll never see you the same way again
Like the time we kissed and I wished it would never end
I'm going 'round in circles trying to figure out exactly who I am
That I wasn't going crazy and this was really the end

I once knew what to fight for and now look what I do
But those feelings are so crowded now I wouldn't know if they were true
It seems so simple yet so far that I couldn't really comprehend
That I wasn't going crazy and this was really the end

Night Vision

We were the upside of down on a Saturday night
And the girls were bickering and starting to fight
"Hey you, don't push just wait your turn!"
Said the bouncer to the woman with the carpet burn
Said "I exist in flexitime
You'll need a ruler coz I'm out of line
Your energetic young face will change to mush
And the policeman will keep hush hush"
And say

Night vision (X4)

Well we're the enigmatic panda team
And we don't think about reason when we have a dream
And with pine kernel teeth we can chew on bone
So count your country overthrown
So we splinter group and do defect
So the bouncer threw a wobbler at the woman he decked
And we go wham! Wham! Wham! On the nightclub floor
But security have immunity
Don't go

Night vision (X4)

Well my T-shirt read "we love airplane noise"
And as the Euro girls kissed the Euro boys
We say by-bye-buy it's time to fly
And to the easy groove we make a move
And go

Northern Lites

Born in a manger
You're getting stranger everyday
Uncertain chancer
You're sending everything astray
You're certain danger
You're a monsoon and a fire all in one
Got me on the run

There's a distant light
(Distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight
(Easy fight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory on its head
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
Leaving me for dead

You're so demanding
You've got me fumbling for escape
I'm understanding
But I'm afraid it's all too late
To find a meaning
You're blowing everything away from coast to coast
Got me much too close

There's a distant light
(Distant light)
A forest fire burning everything in sight
(Easy fight)
We pick it up in space with survey satellite
(Survey satellite, looking at you)
You're turning every modern theory on its head

Don't worry me, or hurry me
Blow me far away to the northern lights (X5)
Abandon me, abandon me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
You rain on me, you rain on me
Blow me far away to the northern lights
Abandon me, abandon me

Ohio Heat

Sycamore trees blowing green in the distance
She sucked on her thumb in her beautiful jail
A sentence to serve as her dynasty grows up inside her balloon

Salty Maureen had a bun in the oven
The daughters of charity let out a sigh
As she suffered they pleaded for mercy she needed

A long time ago
Long time ago
In the greenest cypress groves
We were beaming golden glow

Ohio heat
Sweet as sugar from a beet
Sleek as foxes in the street
Evolution seemed complete

Day after day and hour upon hour
She counted the seconds 'til she could no more
As she climbed through the window and lowered herself
With some sheets all tied up

Ran through the fields 'til the ocean got closer
Found a deserted and rusty old boat
As she fled for her life she did capsize and die

Such a long time ago
Long time ago
In the greenest cypress groves
We were beaming golden glow

Ohio heat
Sweet as sugar from a beet
Sleek as foxes in the street
Evolution seemed complete

Ohio heat
Sweet as sugar from a beet
Sleek as foxes in the street
Evolution seemed complete

Ohio heat
Blowing bubblegums discreet
Now there's flowers on the street
Where she smoked and skipped her feet

From time to time
On the flying tiger line
She appears in my sleep
When my dreams are lucid deep

Ohio heat
Sweet as sugar from a beet
Sleek as foxes in the street
Evolution seemed complete

Ohio heat, Ohio heat

Pan Ddaw'r Wawr
When Dawn Breaks

Digon i ddweud
Enough to say
Ond neb, neb i wrando
But no, no-one to listen
Digon i roi
Enough to give
Ond neb, neb i gymrd
But no, no-one to take it

Pan ddaw’r wawr
When dawn breaks
Dwi'n furddun hen ei lawr
I'm an abandoned ruin
Heb siw na miw
No sight or sound
Na chlychau ar yr awr
Nor bells upon the hour
Bwgan blin
Grotesque ghosts
Sy'n cuddio yn fy llun
Distort my vision
Ai sibrwd mud
Their mute whisper
Yn byddaru fy myd
Deafening my world

Telerau'n rhad
Cheapest rates
Ond dwi, dwi yn waglaw
But I, I am penniless
Asgwrn cefn gwlad
Our spirited spine
Wedi ei dorri
Evaporated

Pan ddaw’r wawr
When dawn breaks
Dwi'n furddun hen ei lawr
I'm an abandoned ruin
Heb siw na miw
No sight or sound
Na chlychau ar yr awr
Nor bells upon the hour
Bwgan blin
Grotesque ghosts
Sy'n cuddio yn fy llun
Distort my vision
Ai sibrwd mud
Their mute whisper
Yn byddaru fy myd
Deafening my world

Pan ddaw’r wawr
As dawn breaks
Dwi'n furddun hen ei lawr
I'm an abandoned ruin

Pass The Time

I was born at such an early age
Hitched to town and walked upon the stage
We’ve aged so young but then we’ve had so much fun
All in all we know we passed the time consulting

How you do it is no business of mine
It just passes time, passes time
How you do it is no business of mine
It just passes time, passes time, passes time

What do you do with all your new found wealth?
You've worked so hard for, has cost you your health
Buy the coffins with the focus points
Quick relief from all those aching joints that burn in

How you do it is no business of mine
It just passes time, passes time
How you do it is no business of mine
It just passes time, passes time, passes time

You can see it coming home
Information overload

From the time of leaving the country behind
Then we started to pass the road
All the cars will be tilted on the sign
Just to get to the other side

How you do it is no business of mine
All I know is that it passes the time (X4)

Patience

I'm user friendly
You used me, friend
From here to nothing
I struggle to die

All I needed was patience
But I didn't have time
Taking stock in the box office late at night
For the millionth time

Find the trails of patience
Preparation is all
Mad, rash frustration
Never gave me the call

All I needed was patience
But I didn't have time
Taking stock in the box office late at night
For the millionth time

All I needed was out there
But I kept it all in
Disco nap in the daytime wide-awake
When I should have been in my bed

Oooh...

Preparation is all

Play It Cool

Dormant vices turned on their devices
Now she's raising money for the sex appeal
And when she grazed her knees upon the Astroturf
All her blood turned green as the TV screamed

"Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later
Whatever you want to say, say it now and pay later
Whatever you want to clean, wash it now and go later
Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later"

Coz it's no problem if you play it cool
Things are different if you act the fool

The electric mistress always sounds so bold
She says I'm free to do anything I'm told
I check the latest newsflash it's sensational!
I feel so seduced tell me to reproduce

Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later
Whatever you want to say, say it now and pay later
Whatever you want to pray, pray it now and pay later
Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later

Coz it's no problem if you play it cool
Things are different if you act the fool

Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later
Whatever you want to say, say it now and pay later
Whatever you want to clean, wash it now and go later
Whatever you want to do, do it now and pay later

Coz it's no problem if you play it cool
Things are different if you act the fool

Presidential Suite

Monica and naughty Billy
Got together something silly now
Holy wars out of lusty minutes
Another Cuban cigar crisis

Honestly!
Do we need to know if he really came inside her mouth?
How will all this affect me
Now and later?

You know that we belong
In a presidential suite
Armed guards in the street
Waving back at crowds who greet

And when I look over
Over my shoulder
I can't see my past
It seems so far away

Found an icon that gave him a hard one
Little Boris just can't help himself
Got so hot in the decadent nineties
Pass another vodka dear

We can dance
'Til the early hours of the morning catches up
Then we'll return to business
If there's any of it left

You know that we belong
In a presidential suite
Armed guards in the street
Waving back at crowds who greet

And when I look over
Over my shoulder
I can't see my past
It seems so far away

What makes you think that
We belong in a presidential suite
Armed guards in the street
Waving back at crowds who greet
Yes indeed

You know that when we met
There were fireworks in the sky
Sparkling like dragonflies
Spelling "All bad folk must die"

And when I look over
Over my shoulder
I can't see my past
It seems so far away
It seems so far away
Far away

Rabid Dog

Energy, energy, burns like a blister in acid bath
It's a violent, violence, hyperactivity aftermath
Any second now I was start to endlessly convulse
Like a renegade resurrect little men called superfluous

Cuttlefish, cuttlefish, ain't like a fish when I saw you
There's an octopus hard for action, or is that just me?
I'm a rabid dog, with a licence from God to chew and chew
I'm a doughnut brain, doughnut brain, boiled with the traffic just slightly through

And then you came into my life
And not everything was uptight
Now you're shining a light at our path
And then you came into my life
And now everything seems just right
And you're shining a light on our path

Our old man, our old man feel jitter courage when on the run
Are you booger man, Malibu, prowler, mystery, piece of fun?
Along with third world debt you're the kind of friend to give me sleepless nights
With a chemical, chemical hungry for mosquito bites

And then you came into my life
And not everything was uptight
Now you're shining a light at our path
And then you came into my life
And now everything seems just right
And you're shining a light on our path

Sha la la la la la la la...
(You came into my life
And where everything was uptight
Now you're shining a fluorescent light on the world now) (X2)

Receptacle For The Respectable

It took a long time for me to get over
Your incredible ways
And now I'm minded to wipe out the memory
Of the way you behaved

You're a receptacle
For the respectable
(It took some time to get over)

I took some time out to study your actions
Of how you painted towns red
And if my worse fears came to fruition
I'm sure you'd leave us all dead

I was so gullible
But now I'm cynical
(It took some time to get over)

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba
Ba ba ba ba ba ba (X2)

We're all susceptible
To the incredible
(It took some time to get over)

Tell me, tell me, tell me again
Coz it's very inane
Are you pleased to see me sulk forever?

Tell me, tell me, explain your game
Coz its very inane
Are you pleased to see me sulk forever?

Tell me, tell me, tell me again
Coz it's very inane
Are you pleased to see me sulk forever?

Tell me, tell me, explain your game
Coz its very inane
Are you pleased to see me sulk forever?

Welcome as a storm cloud in the late December gloom
Subtle as a nail bomb in the head
You came to me in peace
And left me in pieces

Ooooh...

Run-Away

This song is based on a true story
Which would be fine if it wasn't autobiographical

I could have told you why
It would have made me cry a little
I could have told you lies
It would have made me die a little
I could have told you anything
Except the truth which burns my middle

Run away, that's what I did today
Run away, there's nothing I could have said
But cry a little

You found another love
Someone to wipe away your tears
I left it all behind of me
Never to turn and face my fears
We may have fought with teeth and nails
I still recall your banking details

Run away, that's what I did today
Run away, there's nothing I could have said

Those who cry and run away
Live to cry another day

Run away, that's what I did today
Run away, there's nothing I could have said
Run away, that's what I did today
Run away, there's nothing I could have said
But cry a little
Lie a little
Die just a little

Run! Christian, Run!

Rapture
Waiting to capture that moment
Postponement
Suspension of rational movement

So bang on the hour of twelve
To the forest clearing we'll delve
With guns to our heads for we know
That heaven awaits us

Dreaming of that perfect home by the sun
Run! Christian, run!
Still dreaming of that perfect home by the sun
Run! Christian, run!

Roaming
Roaming from all tribulation
Leaving
Leaving behind all damnation

With women and children in line
The men will then gather behind
With knives to their throats they'll depart
On the midnight train to Jordan

Still dreaming of that perfect home by the sun
Run! Christian, run!
Wishing for that perfect home by the sun
Come! Kingdom, come!

Oooooh...

Sanitizzzed

Superglue all the cash machines
Stitch them up, think it over
Hills that should have been scaled before
All the bankers got connected

Two for the price of fun
For time that's sanitised
(Sanitised)
Soon you're number one
And see through Satan's eyes
(Sanitised)

Economical ego trip
Fit to size with a glass ceiling
Bordering on meticulous
Got to pace with grade with directive

Two for the price of fun
For I get sanitised
(Sanitised)
Soon you're number one
And see through Satan's eyes

For life that's good and sanitised

Sex, War & Robots

Twenty-twenty vision to see
Said a little voice to me
I can see

Tell me what was it like
When you switched off the lights?
Went to bed before midnight
Fail to find you at home that night

So finally
It's got to be
Down, down to me

Living '94
When me and you were at war
I was born a baby that didn't cry
I program robots to make them lie

Twenty-twenty vision to see
I can see

So finally
It's got to be
Down, down to me

If tears could kill
I'd be a long time gone (X4)

She's Got Spies

She's got spies and they're looking out for me
But it's not like the KGB it's just a game we play
She's got hooks meant for catching fish at sea
And she's casting them out and about to catch me unaware

She's got spies, but it's not quite like the KGB, you see
She's got spies, but it's not quite like the CIA, no way
She's got spies, but it's not quite like the MI6, sixty-six
She's got spies, but it's not espionage that makes her tick
And when the siren’s singing I'll think a thought of you

She's got eyes and they're lodged in the back of her head
And she can see three-sixty degrees without turning 'round
She'll sometimes cry after watching the six o'clock news
And if the four-minute warning chimes we'll hide here underneath the desk

She's got spies, but it's not quite like the KGB, you see
She's got spies, but it's not quite like the CIA, no way
She's got spies, but it's not quite like the MI6, sixty-six
She's got spies, but it's not espionage that makes her tick
And when the siren’s singing I'll think a thought of you

She's got spies, but it's not quite like the KGB
She's got spies, but it's quite like the CIA

And when the cold war's over
The springtime thaw will flower
And when the siren’s singing
We'll sense a new beginning just as we reach the end

Shoot Doris Day

Shoot Doris Day
Out of the way
In the pouring rain

Sentimentality pause
As Jimmy Stewart ignores
Her question

People never stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Even to you my friend
Wasting away in vain
Oh mercy!

Victor Panache
Lost his moustache
In a P.R. war

Public relationship tears
No-one would touch him for years
You betcha

People never stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Even to you my friend
Rushing around in vain
Don't tempt me!

People never stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
But those feelings never bothered you

People never stay the same
It's a fight between the strong and lame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
I'll just binge on crack and tiramisu

Animals don't stay the same
It's a fight between the wild and tame
I've some feelings that I can't get through
Without turning to a military coup

Show Your Hand

I can see flowers wilting in the sun
Delusions of grandeur can overcome anyone
You're perched up so neatly on the fence
You're keeping your cards all to yourself, a ha ha

Show your hand now, show your hand now
Show your hand now, show your hand now
I'm jumping off the fence into your corner

Turn your face to the sunshine
And all the shadows will fall behind (fall behind)
Walk to your future, leave your troubles to one side
You walked the plank and made it through
The chances a million to two point two, whatever

Show your hand now, show your hand now
Show your hand now, show your hand now
I'm jumping off the fence into your corner

Ba ba ba ba...

Show your hand now, show your hand now
Show your hand now, show your hand now
I'm jumping off the fence into your corner

Show your hand now, show your hand now
Show your hand, I'm showing my hand and
I'm placing all my bets on to one number

Show your hand now, show your hand now
Show your hand, I'm showing my hand and
I'm jumping off the fence
I'm jumping off the fence

Sidewalk Serfer Girl

Patty Whitebull fell asleep for fifteen years
Then unexpectedly she woke to joy and tears
She ordered pizza and then asked about her kids
They're all grown-up now on the reservation grid

Sidewalk surfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling
Silent surfer girl
I'd do anything to be with you sometimes
Ooooh!

Since Patty left the scene things got so extreme
Sidewalk surfer girl's searching for a dream
Paraglide from space dye your bungee best
Set yourself alight whilst famine kills the rest

Sidewalk surfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling
Silent surfer girl
I'd do anything to be with you sometimes
Ooooh!
Sometime
Ooooh!
Sometime
Ooooh!

When Patty's aunts don't know the uncles will have fun
She cruised the streets at night she left home on the run
(Swell)
She never talks to me thinks I'm a major yawn
(Excuse me)
Return the difference, don't retake me, I'm no pawn

Sidewalk surfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling
Silent surfer girl
I'd do anything to catch you falling (X4)

Something For The Weekend

First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it on the back of my tongue and then swallowed it
Second time, things are getting easier
Blow me down this wind is getting breezier
Third time lucky, maybe feeling fuzzy
Oh my God! We're getting hippy-dippy!
Five, six, seven, man I'm in heaven
And I'm growing my beard before it gets sheared

You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind (X2)

First time, I did it for the hell of it
Stuck it right up but that was the end of it
Second time, things are getting easier
Hairs on the back of my neck are getting stickier
Third time unlucky, perversely bloody
Doctor I'm ill please pass me the brandy
Five, six, seven I heard George Foreman say
"Slow horses loose, fast women frighten"

You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind (X2)

I just keep repeating myself (X6)

Aaah yeah, coz you're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay

You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay
For the rest of my mind
You're on my mind
Every day and every night
And you'll never go away
Coz I know you're here to stay

Stay Another Day

Baby if you've got to go away
Don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?

Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't think it the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?

Don't you know we've come too far now
Just to go and try and throw it all away
(Stay now)
Thought I heard you say you love me
That your love was gonna be here to stay
(Stay now)

Baby if you've got to go away
Don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?
(Stay now)

Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't pray it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?

Good times we've had return to haunt me
Though it's for you all that I do tends to be wrong
I touch your face when you are sleeping
And hold your hand don't even understand what's going on

Baby if you've got to go away
Don't think I can take the pain
Won't you stay another day?

Oh, don't leave me alone like this
Don't say it's the final kiss
Won't you stay another day?

Stay now

Baby if you've got to go away

Tell me you're a phoenix
Rising far above all those

Suckers in the mainstream
Suckers in their slipstream
Suckers in the underground

Suckers on the benches
Suckers in the trenches
Suckers in the lost and found

Tell me you're a phoenix
Rising far above all those

Suckers in the movies
Suckers on the DVD's
Suckers on the TV screens

It's over and we've just begun

Tell me you're a phoenix
Rising far above all those

Suckers in the meantime
Suckers in the nighttime
Suckers in the afternoon

Suckers playing stadiums
Filled up to the rafters
Singing power ballad songs

Tell me you're a phoenix
Rising far above all those

Suckers in the boardrooms
Suckers in the showrooms
Suckers on the tennis courts

Suckers in reactors
Splitting up the atoms
Suckers messing up my hair

Tell me you're a phoenix
Rising far above

And that sucker in the mirror
Sucker needs a tuner
Sucker needs to buy a comb

Well it's over and we've just begun
Oh we've just begun

Summer Snow

There's a shadow across the sea
A phantom power that's pestering me
A spectre as bold as stone
I say "no go!"
It's summer snow

Well you can fathom that something is wrong
When they're making a dance and a song
'Bout some useless excuse of a thing
I say "no go!"
It's summer snow

People!
Show me a place where we're never confronted
By things we never needed

People!
Show me a place that isn't corrupted
And peace interrupted

People!
Show me a place where we're never confronted
By things we never wanted

People!
Show me a space that isn't corrupted
And peace interrupted

I say "no go!"
(Summer sun, summer rain, summer snow)
It's summer snow
I say "no go!"
(Summer sun, summer rain, summer snow)
To summer snow
I say "no go!"
(Summer sun, summer rain, summer snow)
It's summer snow
I say "no go!"
(Summer sun, summer rain, summer snow)
It's summer snow

Sunny Seville

Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la (X2)

She came to the city, my village beauty, of innocent smile
She seduced a painter, then an impersonator, she's versatile
And now she's sucking on Dictaphone
The press won't leave her alone

I'm back on the pills
She's over the hill
To sunny Seville

Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la (X2)

Four bra sizes later, she's all over the papers, and having a ball
She married a banker, who died at the altar, and left her all
Well you could say she was out of luck
And that she never really gave a fuck

I'm back on the pills
She's over the hill
To sunny Seville

I'm back on the pills
She's picked up my bills
From sunny Seville

Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la (X2)
Sha la la la la la la la la la la la la la

I'm back on the pills
She's over the hill
To sunny Seville

Oh honey I'm ill!
Pass me the pills
Pick up the bill

She's flushed into faze
And fazed into fuzz
Back in the haze

I'm back on the pills
She's over the hill
To sunny Seville

That's What I'm Talking About

It's late o'clock in the morning
I phone for an agent of change
Shuffle the cards for a living
Left me a little deranged

That's what I'm talking about
That's what I'm talking about
That's why I'm talking about you (X2)
About you

The showdown resumed in the evening
A duel to death so to speak
I gambled away all your patience
Your washing machine and antiques

That's what I'm talking about
That's what I'm talking about
That's why I'm talking about you (X2)
About you

Around on the following lunchtime
We met up and argued a truce
We saw eye to eye, ear to ear

Heart to heart, lung to lung, kidney to kidney, colon to colon
Chin to chin, ear to ear, heart to heart, face to face
Forehead to forearm, wrist to wrist, ear to lobe, shin to shin
Teeth to teeth, brain to brain, nail to nail, brow to brow
Eye to eye, their wrist to our wrist, backwards to backwards, femur to femur
Back to myself, back to myself, who needs a juggler?
Belly to belly, female to female, lunchtime afternoon, waah!

Will we ever stop?

The Citizens Band

Tried my hand at the citizens band
I'm a breaker that breaks and my handle is goblin
I'm on air and I'm breaking the law
I just switch myself on and ten-four for a copy

Like a phone
It's a similar thing, similar thing
To speak to you
It's a beautiful thing, beautiful thing

Me and you, so many ways to communicate
Me and you, so many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate what you want to say

There's no way I'll go feeding the bears
I just hit the big slab back to my own home twenty
Smokey says "I'm a lonely cartel
Don't you worry about me coz I'm just a good buddy"

Go-go girls
They're a similar thing, similar thing
Cutting me up
'Til we eyeball again, eyeball again

Me and you, so many ways to communicate
Me and you, so many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate
So many ways to communicate what you want to say

Eighty-eight receive me 'til we eyeball again (X4)

Mic in hand on the citizens band (X8)

(Black stallion, black stallion do you copy?
Do you copy black stallion?
Black stallion do you copy me black stallion?)

The Gift That Keeps Giving

A parcel arrived, it was the gift that keeps giving
I opened it up and all the bells started ringing
Gonna take you right back, right back to the beginning of

The gift that keeps giving again
(Gift that keeps giving again)
It's the gift that keeps giving again
(Gift that keeps giving again)

Well before I received this gift that keeps on giving
I was always perceived as a loser that kept losing
Well look at me now, I'm a receiver that's receiving

All these gifts that keep giving again
(Gift that keeps giving again)
It's the gift that keeps giving again
(Gift that keeps giving again)

Giving the gift that keeps giving again

The Horn

Go, go with the flow
La la la la la la, la la la la
Rock, rock the Freeway
La la la la la la, la la la la
Drink, smoke, love, enjoy the ride

Right or wrong
Hair down long
We vote her out
Nationwide screams and shouts

Go, go with the flow
La la la la la la, la la la la
Rock, rock the Freeway
La la la la la la, la la la la
Billions of bees feed on honey trees

Join the core
And some more
You choose the place
Final resting place, face-to-face

Twinkle twinkle
Rain and cars

The International Language Of Screaming

It's not where you're from
It's not where you're at
It's not where you've been
It's where you're between
It's not what you've been
It's not what you've seen
It's where you're between
It's not what you've seen
It's where you're between

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!
La la la la
Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!

From A to B
Then onto C
Don't stop the journey
'Til you get to Z
'Til you get to Z
There's nothing to see
Don't stop the journey
There's nothing to see
Don't stop the journey

Every time I look around me everything seems so stationary
It just sends me the impulse to become reactionary
Spell it out, rip it up, rearrange it, on the contrary
If I scream it, I mean it, I hope you will understand me
Wooh!

La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la
La la la la

Ooo! Ooo! Ooo!

The Man Don't Give A Fuck

Spent some times in stormy weather
Under clouds of my dilemma
Now there's nothing much to do
But sit and rot in front of televisions
Staring back at me
I'm just waiting for the microwaves
To wash me into the sea

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X4)
You know they

Out of focus ideology
Keep the masses from majority
Headspace brainwashed, tumble dried
Left to bleed whilst vultures glide

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X8)
You know they

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X6)

You know they don't give a fuck about anybody else (X30)

The Matter Of Time

It happened in the summertime
My cousin and I read the line
The open book shook our comfy lives
Ooooh

Destiny revealed to us
Descending from his mystery bus
Aaaah

'Til then we thought a permanent thing
Meant a permanent thing
But a permanent thing
Is no permanent thing
No we've no permanent place to play

And now and again aftershocks
Scar our thoughts with molten rocks
The scorching sun lies a touch ahead
Ooooh

The matter of time taught to us
Our parents would not be there to fuss
Aaaah

'Til then we thought a permanent thing
Meant a permanent thing
But no permanent thing
Is a permanent thing
No we've no permanent place to play

And I remember talking about time
And I remember shivers down my spine (X2)
And I remember shaking
Ooooh...

The Piccolo Snare

Have you ever seen the sun
(Have you ever seen the sun
Have you ever seen the sun)
Rising high to the sound of a gun?
Blue and white and yellow sun
(Blue and white and yellow sun
Blue and white and yellow sun)
Capturing imagination

We went down to the piccolo drum
Never made it into the hum

Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo snare

Have you ever seen the sea
(Have you ever seen the sea)
Painted red by a bleeding army?
Skyhawks gather for a feast
(Skyhawks gather for a feast)
Of pawns who will never find peace

Tumbledown to the piccolo snare
Never made it into the square

Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo
No-one particular cared

(Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming)

Now! We can go home again
To our old haunts again
Together!

Now! Scatter us all around
Far from the bugle sound
Surrender!

Safe in the exclusion zone
Catch me and take me home
As brother fights brother

Wrapped up in tarnished flags
Banners and body bags
Surrender! Phantom!

(Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming, dreaming) (X3)

The Placid Casual

Paw print marks leave a telltale sign
There's a furry friend loose and committing a crime
Takes no precaution leaving the fold
For the placid casual have remote control

Fuzz clogs up my video
What do we do now?
Now we are free again

Freetown rocked in Sierra Leone
When Valentine Strasser danced his way to the throne
Gunpowder smoke took a heavy toll
Coz they weren't placid casual so they lost control

Fuzz clogs up my video
What do we do now?
Now we are free again

Fuzz clogs up my video
What do we do now?
Now we are free again (X2)

The Roman Road

I was raised on a Roman road
You could argue that a film we saw
Where the cairn was a child to the
Rich above her cuts away her soul

Seeing where the falcons fly
Where the low-flying jets with their heads for highs
Looking at the valley below
All the cars and the trucks they just go go go

Roman road
It's a little pitstop on the road to Rome
The Roman road
It's a line to the past and a road to Rome
The Roman road
It's a little pitstop on the road to Rome
The Roman road
All the cars and the trucks they just go go go
(Scheming and a-dreaming there is reason to be living)

When we talked to the mountain goats
I could tell that they understood
That the universe is flat
And trees are made of wood

Staring at the nebula
I plant my root to distant fruit
Flying my kite up high
To stop those Fokkers flying by

On the Roman road
It's a little pitstop on the road to Rome
The Roman road
It's a line to the past and a road to Rome
The Roman road
It's a little pitstop on the road to Rome
The Roman road
It's a line to the past it just go go go
(Scheming and a-dreaming there is reason to be living)

The Roman road
It's a little pitstop on the road to Rome

These Bones

These bones (X4)

I'm in a band where I'm getting cold, dance in the rain, oh ho ho
Too late and I'm giving again, a ha ha
I'm your man

Never mention money, some things happen for free
But don't you know that

These bones are centuries old, oh ho ho
These clothes have never been sold, oh ho ho
Getting old, centuries old

These bones (X3)

So grab your limited edition of the nut trick is by, on my heart
Good God it's seven o'clock on the dot
On your own

Never mention money, some things happen for free
But don't you know that

These bones are centuries old, oh ho ho
These clothes have never been sold, oh ho ho
Getting old, centuries old

These bones

You've gotta rise above it (X11)

The Teacher

Want to come home from school coz it's a drag
And when I come home from school I'm gonna pack my bags
And when I come home from school I'm gonna run away
And then I'll just start a band then learn how to play

And before I know it I'll be back to life (X2)
La la la la la la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la

When I come home from school I'm gonna have a drink
And when I come home from school I'm gonna start to think
And when I come home from school I'm gonna burn my books
And when I come home from school I'm gonna write some hooks

And before I know it I'll be back to life (X2)

The Turning Tide

It just occurred to me
That things aren't as they seem
It's conspiracy
Aaaah

And we're living in a world of quicksand
Castles on their keep
Still waiting under siege
For the turning tide up
Need some inspiration
Time to hitch a ride
On the turning tide
Ah ha ha

The service was so slow
My eyes began to grow
Into telescopes
Aaaah

That are looking at a world of quicksand
Castles on their keep
Still waiting under siege
For the turning tide up
Need some inspiration
Time to hitch a ride
On the turning tide

And we're living in a world of quicksand
Castles on their keep
Still waiting under siege
For the turning tide up
Need some inspiration
With no obligation
Coz there's quicksand
Sucking up the goodness
Graciously impatiently
Is that the time out?
Need recuperation
Time to hitch a ride
On the turning tide
To the turning tide
To the turning tide
To the turning tide
To the turning tide
To the turning tide

The Undefeated

(Noise! Pollution! Solution! Solution!)

I, I lose again
You are the victor I confess
You are David and Goliath
I'm but the dirt
Beneath your feet

Yes so shallow the undefeated
(Noise! Pollution! Solution!)
Yes so shallow the undefeated

Step, step into my shoes
I'll try and make you understand
I lead my life without a plan
I need no guidance
Just your patience

For so shallow the undefeated
(Noise! Pollution! Solution!)
For so shallow the undefeated

Every animal has its day
We will chase the phantoms away

For so shallow the undefeated
(Noise! Pollution! Solution!)
Yes so shallow the undefeated
Yes so shallow the undefeated

Yes so shallow the undefeated
For so shallow the undefeated
Yes so shallow the undefeated

Radio cassette plays on
As the kitchen crushed

Hear its cry come through
Concrete rubble mound

Bodies and crates are strewn all around
Still the cassette plays on
Oh sweet Caroline

Follow the leader

Violent thriller

Trust but verify
Just to terrify

The Warmth Of The Sun

What good is the dawn
That grows into day?
The sunset at night
Or living this way

For I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me at night
(Warmth of the sun)

The love of my life
She left me one day
I cried when she said
"I don't feel the same way"

Still I have the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
Within me tonight
(Warmth of the sun)

I'll dream of her arms
And though they're not real
Just like they're still there
The way that I feel

My love's like the warmth of the sun
(Warmth of the sun)
It won't ever die
(Warmth of the sun)

Doo doo...

This, That And The Other

To conceal or reveal

For under picture book smiles

So to reveal or conceal
All those wounds that won't heal
Whilst every joker inside
Fill my duvet with fright

What are we playing at...?

Tradewinds

Feeling the tradewinds blow
We set sail in the fickle sea flow
Stuck in a copper boat
On a sea where money floats
We went down, down, down

We found an undersea town
Where the gold just weighs you down
Saved by a razor fish
Headed back where the Earth and sea kiss
Would you drown, drown, drown
Reach the sound, sound, sound?

With all those people out of touch
Who have spent too much
Of the monies that they saved

Tradewinds blow me down (X4)

Aimed for the Milky Way
Then got stuck in a traffic delay
Gridlock around the block
No-one here gives way
Forced out of my home
To a different zone
Left me all alone

It's tough on the toxic wind
I'll just take up wrestling
Fight like the nuclear man
Overturn the city plan
Make a stash of cash
Buy my own home back
Throw the mayor in the sea
Win the W.C.W. bout

Let all the people get to know
They can come and go
To the places of their choice

Tradewinds blow me down (X4)

Tradewinds blow me...
Tradewinds blow me down...

Trôns Mr Urdd
Mr Urdd's Pants

Hei, Mr Urdd
Hey, Mr Urdd
'Neud di ddangos imi ffyrdd
Will you show me the ways
O garu, heb amharu?
Of love, without damage?
Ar fy meddwl yn ormodol
To my mind necessary
Dwi isho gweld fy nyfodol
I want to see my future

O, dwi'n gwisgo trons Mr Urdd
Oh, I'm wearing Mr Urdd's pants
Gwnes 'i ddwyn nhw pan oedd neb yn sbio
I stole them when nobody was watching
Cyn torri lawr a chrio
Before breaking down and crying

O, dwi'n gwisgo trons Mr Urdd
Oh, I'm wearing Mr Urdd's pants
Mae'n cyfaddef popeth ar y bathodyn
It confesses everything on the badge
Mae'n waeth na gwisgo blodyn, o
It's worse than wearing a flower, oh

Yng Ngellilydan gyda'r wawr
In Gellilydan with the dawn
Mae'r gwlith mor llachar ar y llawr
The dew is so bright on the floor
O dan y wawr
Under the dawn

Ar y ffordd i Drawsfynydd
On the way to Trawsfynydd
I drwsio'n 'sgidiau yn siop y crudd
To repair my shoes in the cobbler's shop
Erbyn hanner dydd
By midday

O, dwi'n gwisgo trons Mr Urdd
Oh, I'm wearing Mr Urdd's pants
Mae'n waeth na gwisgo 'sgodyn
It's worse than wearing fish

Valet Parking

[Cardiff to Vilnius in five easy verses:]

Ba ba ba ba ba ba ba ba...

Vilnius vacation
And I don't need any inoculation
I just jump in my car and go
For how long? I do not know
The Eurozone is my home

(I'm carsick)
(Vilnius vacation)

Passed my driving test last year
You know it took me some years to get there
It was my fourth time around
And I was in perfect mind of sound
Underneath my chair is the road to her

(At this point I switch my radio on)

If it's not crap trance on the radio
Then it's problem rock on every show
You know it's got no more lows to go
They're making too much money and taking too much Blow
Your mind is behind

(And this is total nowness)

Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Some would argue that it's grey
Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Sleep in lay-bys on the way

(Coming up to Berlin, I have a mild accident)

Well it's Solvent Abuse Awareness Week
At the clinic in a Berlin backyard
Sleek as the big lump on my head
I could really do with a bath and a bed
But underneath my chair is the road to her

(So I just head on for Poland and, er)

Reach my destination with no satellite navigation system
Just a map and a clear mind
If I run out of bucks
Maybe I'll drive a truck
But it's a lonely way to make some pay

Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Some would argue that it's grey
Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Sleep in lay-bys on the way

Fly, fly away (X3)
Valet! Valet!

La la la la la la la la (X16)

Venus & Serena

[Raised by wolves until the age of two, my closest childhood friends and confidants were my two pet turtles, Venus and Serena:]

[Son:]
Father, father I have sinned
I dunno where to begin
Give me words of advice
I'll save them up for a clear day

[Father:]
Keep your eye upon the ball
Write your thoughts upon the wall
There's some words of advice
Save them up for a clear day

(Venus and Serena understand) (X2)
Venus and Serena understand

Flushing meadows down the stream
Living life as though it's a dream
Eat the future today
Don't save it up for a rainy day

Holy bombs make holy holes
Holy holes make homeless moles
Take the turtle and hare
Don't run around if you can walk there

(Venus and Serena understand) (X2)
Venus and Serena understand

[Son:]
Father, father, father, father can't you see?
I'm a walking tragedy
Father, father, father when I look to the past
I never realised that it wouldn't last

(Venus and Serena understand) (X4)
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand

[Father:]
I've one final thing to say
I'm not your father anyway
Found you under a cloud
Left outside by the wolves one day, hey

Waiting To Happen

Oooooh (X2)

I've been waiting oh so long
For the waves just to carry me on
Spent so many years in fear
That this day wouldn't ever appear
But the shackles today are loose
And we're waiting to happen

Turn it to eleven
Set your sights afar
May the force be within you
I'm following my shoes

Oooooh (X2)

Wonder Woman spin around
Come on up here revive what I found
Spent so many days in fear
That this time would never come near
Now the borders have disappeared
And we're waiting to happen

Turn it to eleven
Set your sights afar
May the force be within you
I'm following my shoes

I'll be near you
I'll be anything you want to
I'll take you all the way
All the way

Oooooh (X4)

Walk You Home

Can't forget that smile
Can't believe we met
Such a sudden kiss
And you never even said goodbye

The future ain't what it used to be
I'll always think of you lovingly

Seasons change
And rearrange
A new light shines
If she read my mind:

"You could be drinking wine with me
So why don't you go up and ask?"

I'm so very shy I couldn't look at her in the eye
When the lights came on I knew it was time to go

One thing I know I must never do ever again
Is delay in asking you if I might ever be able to
I don't know what to say
Shit, I've fucked up again

I wanna walk you home tonight
Please can I walk you home tonight? (X3)
I wanna walk you home tonight
I've been scared of asking you
Just in case you might

Let me down girl
Don't let me down girl
Don't let me down girl
Don't let me down girl

Head over heels, sleeping forever

White Socks/Flip Flops

I look like a loser coming from the gutter
Want to be a writer and be a keen reader
Listen to my opera, now I'm a good listener
Got to make my mind up, so go around later

Hey hey hey!

I'm a red rooster, a real cold killer
A real live wire
(Yeah!)

Switch it off and start again (X3)
Switch it off and start a
I put on my white socks, flip flops
Put on white socks, flip flops

Minor complications turn to ultimatums
At first I find it funny but now it's just annoying
I dingalingaling her but that's another story
Sitting on my sofa, I'll go around later

Hey hey hey!

A red, red rooster, a real cold killer
A real live wire
(Yeah!)

Switch it off and start again (X3)
Switch it off and start a
I put on my white socks, flip flops
Put on white socks, flip flops

Hey hey hey!

Switch it off and start again (X3)
Switch it off and start a
And put on my white socks, flip flops
Switch it off and start again
And put on white socks, flip flops
Switch it off and start again
Switch it off and start again
Switch it off and start a
I put on my white socks, flip flops

Wrap It Up

Sometimes they call me the dealer
I mean I deals in ideas
You may consult me if you have the fear

I'm just as phased as any other
I have some wings but I have no feather
I flew east to find myself a guru
I won't decide if tomorrow will do
Take your coat and wrap it 'round you
Protection from what's around you
For every thought there's a little maybe
And I'm still confused as a baby

Sometimes they'll ask me some questions
I mean I give them suggestions
There will be no fee for the consultation

I'm just as phased as any other
I've got some wings but I have no feather
I flew east to find myself a guru
I won't decide if tomorrow will do
Take your coat and wrap it 'round you
Protection from what's around you
For every thought there's a little maybe
And I'm still confused as a baby
I'm still confused as a baby

Tell me what you want I'll wrap it up for you
Tell me what you need I'll wrap it up for you

I'm just as phased as any other
I've got some wings but I have no feather
I flew east to find myself a guru
I won't decide if tomorrow will do
Take your coat and wrap it 'round you
Protection from what's around you
For every thought there's a little maybe
And I'm still confused as a baby

I'm still confused as a baby (X3)

Y Brawd Houdini
Houdini's Brother

La la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la

O, mi wena'r haul yn y pwll glo
Oh, the sun is shining in the coal mine
Beth am botel o gwrw?
How about a bottle of beer?
O, mae gennai bres, ond mae'r mwg a tes
Oh, I've got money, but the smoke and haze
Yn troi pob un yn feddw
Is turning everyone woozy

Mor unig ar y llinyn tyn
So lonely on the taut line
Yn troedio'r eangderau
Treading the vastness

O, dim ond fi a'r brawd Houdini'n
Oh, only me and Houdini's brother
Cerdded lan i'r nefoedd
Walking up to the heavens

La la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la (X2)

O, 'roedd y nos mor ddu ac mae brenin y dall
Oh, the night was so black and the king of the blind
Yn crawcian yn y bore
Is croaking in the morning
O, y dewin dwl ar y teleffon
Oh, the dim wizard on the telephone
Yn ceisio neud ei orau
Trying to do his best

A minau'n methu gweld tu fewn
And me who cannot see inside
Neu mas o'r byd a'i chwerthin
Or out of the world and its laughter

O, dim ond fi a'r brawd Houdini'n
Oh, only me and Houdini's brother
Cerdded lan i'r nefoedd
Walking up to the heavens

La la, la la la la la, la la la la la la la (X6)

Y Gwyneb Iau
Liverface

Cwyd dy bentan a dos lawr i'r de
Take your homestead and then head down south
Gad dy dreftadaeth mewn priodol le
Leave your heritage in the designated space
Ble 'roedd cartref nawr mae gwagle llwyd
What was once home is now grey matter
Ooooh

Pwy wnaeth daflu'r ffrwyth at ein llwyth?
Who threw that fruit at our tree?
Pwy all dalu'r pwyth?
Who will pay the price?
Pwy a wyr?
Who knows?
Wyr?
He?
Aaaah

Adeiladu pontydd newydd sbon
Building bridges that are so brand new
Codi'r allor o weddillion bom
Lift the shrine that a bomb just blew
Golchi'r clwyf sy'n cadw dod yn ôl
Cleanse the wound that will only recur
Ooooh

Pwy wnaeth daflu'r ffrwyth at ein llwyth?
Who threw that fruit at our tree?
Pwy all dalu'r pwyth?
Who will pay the price?
Pwy a wyr?

Ooooh

Hei! Gwyneb iau
Hey! Liverface
I ti mae'r drysau ar gau
For you the doors will be closed (X5)

Ymaelodi Â'r Ymylon
Banished To The Periphery

Mae'n hnw'n dweud bo' ni ar yr ymlon
They say we're peripheral people
Yn weiston bach ffyddlon, yn arw ac estron
Spineless and feeble, roughneck and evil
Ac mae hi'n llugoer yn llygad y ffynnon
And it's so cool in the eye of the fountain
Ond ar yr ymylon mae'r danadl poethion
But the periphery sustains the hottest nettle

Ymaelodi â'r ymylon
Banished to the periphery
Ymaelodi â'r ymylon
Banished to the periphery
Ymaelodi â'r ymylon
Banished to the periphery
Cosb pob un sydd yn anffyddlon
The price to pay for all who stray

Mae'na sôn am y cythraul canu
And there's talk of the demon in music
Sy'n arwahanu yn hollti a rhannu
That divides and rules us in musical envy
Ac mae mae hi'n unig ar yr ymylon
And it's so lonely on the periphery
Yn edrych o hirbell ar rywbeth sydd nepell
As if looking from afar at something that's near

Ymaelodi â'r ymylon
Banished to the periphery
Ymaelodi â'r ymylon
Banished to the periphery
Ymaelodi â'r ymylon
Banished to the periphery
Cosb pob un sydd yn anffyddlon
The price to pay for all that stray
[Repeat to end]

Ysbeidiau Heulog
Sunny Intervals

Fe gawsom ni ysbeidiau heulog
I must say that we had some sunny intervals
(Ysbeidiau heulog)
(Sunny intervals) (X2)

Ond ar y cyfan roedd hi'n dra cymlog
But on the whole it was rather cloudy
Ga i hyd yn oed awgrymu un-donog
Monotone not fine and dandy
Mewn cartre llaith a dim gwres calonog
A damp proof home with no central heating

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

Fe deimlon ni esgusion yn tasgu
We really felt our shoes were a-squeezing
(Esgidiau'n gwasgu)
(Our shoes were a-squeezing)
Fe deimlo'n ni esgidiau yn gwasgu
And at the time excuses were flying
(Esgusion, tasgu)
(Excuses were a-flying)

Ond ar y cyfan roedd y camau yn weigion
But on the whole our steps were empty
Y swigod coch yn llosgi fel gwreichion
The red blisters were burning a-plenty
Um cam ymlaen am ddwy aneffeithlon
One step forward for every two ineffectual

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

Heulog oedd ein cariad ni
Sunny was our love
Heulog tan ddaeth glaw yn llif
Sunny 'til the skies opened up

Ysbeidiau heulog
Sunny intervals (X4)

Y Teimlad
The Feeling

Y teimlad sy'n gyrru bobol i anghofio amser
The feeling that makes people forget time
Y teimlad sy'n gyrru ti i feddwl nad yw'r dyfodol mor fler
The feeling that makes you think the future's not so bad
Y teimlad sydd yn dod a cyn sbarduno gobaith
The feeling which comes and sparks hope
Ti'n gweld y tywod, llwch, ond ti'n gweld fod yno flodau
You see the sand, the dust, but you see that there's flowers

Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad?
The feeling, what is the feeling?
Y teimlad sydd heb esboniad
The feeling that's inexplicable
Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad?
The feeling, what is the feeling?
Y teimlad sy'n cael ei alw'n gariad
The feeling called love
Cariad, cariad, y teimlad
Love, love, the feeling

Mae hapusrwydd yn codi ac yn troi yn wir rhywbryd
Happiness builds and comes true sometimes
Ac mae'n dangos fod yno rhywbeth mewn hyd yn oed dim byd
And it shows that there's something even in nothing
A pan mae'r teimlad yno mae bywyd yn werth parhau
And when the feeling is there, life is worth continuing
Ond yn ei absenoldeb mae'r diweddglo yn agosau
But in its absence the end approaches

Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad?
The feeling, what is the feeling?
Y teimlad, sydd heb esboniad
The feeling, that's inexplicable
Y teimlad, beth yw y teimlad?
The feeling, what is the feeling?
Y teimlad, sy'n cael ei alw'n gariad
The feeling called love

Ooooh...

Zoom!

Took you to a movie but you moved away
Froze into a standstill my feet turned to clay
Looked into the sky for some good advice
A curious shadow angle poised
Circled twice then tossed me a carcass

Sold you a Dalmatian but the spots fell off
Pooled them all together as a hairy moth
Bred it with a lion but it flew away
Now it chases drones around the sky
Growls and grunts 'til you feed it a blemish

I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with apocalypse
An instant hit (X2)

Saw the Virgin Mary she was crying blood
Tears congregate into a mighty flood
Gave her some directions to a specialist
An eye doctor to help her cyst
She took the wrong turn to the family planning

Saw Lord Lucan riding Shergar to the shops last night
Couldn't be positive in candle light
Chased them in a Mustang to a Kwik Save till
Searched for words to fit the bill
Dug myself a hole then I fell into a vacuum

I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with apocalypse
An instant hit (X2)

I can't get enough of it
Kiss me with apocalypse
An instant hit

Zoom! (2)

Knocked out cold in a circular movement, drowned
Stabbed in the back of a cut in the head
Left for dead, dead and really unsteady

Ate a lot of it again
King Kong, take the money and then pay for it
Zoom back just a little

Ate a lot of it again
King Kong, ate the money and then paid for it
Zoom in, zoom back a little

Monster equipped with a stick feel mud in carpet boots
Tasseled flares, always trip me up with worst concussion
Locked out cold, fucking marvellous
