Like Eating Glass
It's so cold in this house Open mouth swallowing us The children staying home from school Will not stop crying
And I know that you're busy too I know that you care You got your finger on the pulse You got your eyes everywhere And it hurts all the time when you don't return my calls And you haven't got the time to remember how it was It's so cold in this house It's so cold in this house
I can't eat, I can't sleep I can't sleep, I can't dream An aversion to light Got a fear of the ocean
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
It's so cold in this house Come and show me how it was
We've got crosses on our eyes Been walking into the walls again We've got crosses on our eyes Been walking into the furniture We've got crosses on our eyes For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse We've got crosses on our eyes We've been walking into the furniture
Helicopter
North to south Empty Running on Bravado As if to say, as if to say As if to say, he doesn't like chocolate He's born a liar, he'll die a liar Some things will never be different
Stop being so American There's a time and there's a place So James Dean So blue jeans Gonna save the world He's gonna
Are you hoping for a miracle? Are you hoping for a miracle? Are you hoping for a miracle? Are you hoping for a miracle?
Three out of five, three out of five (it's not enough) Six out of ten Better luck next time Just like his Dad, just like his Dad (the same mistakes) Some things will never be different Hungry and dumb, hungry and dumb (so wait in line) Queuing up for some more junk food It's not my fault, it's not my fault (just this once) They're getting so much younger
Why can't you be more European Bastard child of guilt and shame Bury your head in the sand I'm thinking six, six, six I'm thinking six
Are you hoping for a miracle? Are you hoping for a miracle? Are you hoping for a miracle? Are you hoping for a miracle?
It's not enough.
Positive Tension
He said you're just as boring as everyone else When you tut and you moan And you squeal and you squelch He said that you're just as boring as everyone else Nothing ever happens
Things replace things Days replace days Things replace things
She said I'm going use my teeth and my claws She said I'm going use my teeth and my claws She said I'm going use my teeth and my breasts I'm gonna make it happen She said
Run run run run run run And you cannot run or ever, ever escape You cannot run or ever hide it away Something glorious is about to happen The reckoning
They go you're just as boring as everyone else When you tut and you moan And you squeal and you squelch They go you're just as boring as everyone else Stuck past timing The fear and the yearning The fear and the consumption The fear and the yearning It's gonna eat you alive They go...
And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape And you cannot hide or ever put it away Something glorious is about to happen The reckoning
They go... They say... They go... They say... They go... Why'd you have to get so hysterical? Success, success, success is over Why'd you have to get So fucking useless
Play it cool boy Play it cool
Banquet
A heart of stone, a smoking gun I can give you life, I can take it away
A heart of stone, a smoking gun I'm working it out Why'd you feel so underrated? Why'd you feel so negated?
Turning away from the light Becoming adult Turning into myself I wanted to bite not destroy To feel her underneath Turning into the light
She don't think straight She's got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops And you don't taste like her and you never ever will And we don't read the papers, we don't read the news Heaven's never enough, we will never be fooled
And if you feel a little left behind We will wait for you on the other side
Cos I'm on fire Cos you know I'm on fire when you come Cos you know I'm on fire Cos you know I'm on fire so stomp me out Cos I'm on fire(4X)
Blue Light
You'll find it hiding in shadows You'll find it hiding in cupboards It will walk you home safe every night It will help you remember
If that's way it is Then that's the way it is
I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes What could I ever run to Just tell me it's tearing you apart Just tell me you cannot sleep
And you didn't even notice When the sky turned blue And you couldn't tell the difference Between me and you And I nearly didn't notice The gentlest feeling
You are the bluest light
She's Hearing Voices
She's hearing voices call her She's hearing voices warn her She just can't sleep in her bed She just can't sleep She's falling down the stairs She's tearing out her hair She's screaming my name, in the night To keep her warm
She got a red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Milk of amnesia
She's scared of the blacks And she's scared of the Jews She is walking around She is yesterday's news And she screams out my name In the dead of the night She is leaving my room She is crying on her side Walking on eggshells Walking on glass Burnt by the mirror Burnt by the light Feeling rejection I'll burn down your house Tearing down posters I was never alive
This Modern Love
To be lost in the forest To be cut adrift You've been trying to reach me You bought me a book To be lost in the forest To be cut adrift I've been paid I've been paid
Don't get offended If I seem absent minded Just keep telling me facts And keep making me smile Don't get offended If I seem absent minded I get tongue-tied Baby, you've got to be more discerning I've never known what's good for me Baby, you've got to be more demanding I will be yours
I'll pay for you anytime
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness Jump right Baby, you've got to be more discerning I've never known what's good for me Baby, you've got to be more demanding Jump left
What are you holding out for? What's always in the way? Why so damn absent-minded? Why so scared of romance?
This modern love breaks me This modern love wastes me
Do you wanna come over and kill some time? Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts Tell me facts Throw your arms around me
Pioneers
If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split It's all under control If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned All you need is time
We promised the world we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard We will not be the first, we won't You said you were going to conquer new frontiers, Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast
We promised the world, we'd tame it, what were we hoping for?
Breath in, breath out
So here we are reinventing the wheel I'm shaking hands with a hurricane It's a colour that I can't describe, It's a language I can't understand Ambition, tearing out the heart of you Carving lines into you Dripping down the sides of you
We will not be the last.
Price Of Gas
I've been driving, a mid sized car, I never hurt anyone Is that a fact? The price of gas keeps on rising Nothing comes for free Make like a stone, make like a plant I can tell you, how this ends
We're going to win this With spades and truncheons, guns and trowels That is how the war will be won Just swat the fly Taking care of cars and bodies Nothing ever comes for me The ghosts are here, red white and blue
I can tell you how this ends We're going to win this
Little Thoughts
Been thinking little thoughts Keep on walking try to stay up Pay Attention to the details We go slowly, slowly down Been thinking little thoughts Keep on walking try to stay up Pay Attention to the details We go slowly, down
I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask me I'll Go back, b, b, b, Backwards
This world ain't just m, m, m, made of facts Every half hour is a countdown If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward If it's 'cause of my age then you're a coward I haven't got the guts to stand alone
I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask me I'll Go back, b, b, b, Backwards
I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask I'll go back if you ask me I'll go back if you ask me I'LL GO BACK B, B, B, BACKWARDS!
So Here We Are
I caught a glimpse, but its been forgotten So here we are again I made a vow, to carry you home... home
I really tried to do what you wanted It all went wrong again
I made a vow, to carry you home If you fall sick, if you pass out
I figured it out, I can see again
Luno
And you're tired of your Mum And you're tired of your Dad Got you jumping through hoops Got you shaving your legs Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you
And you're tired of your face And you're tired of your nose Got you jumping through hoops Got you shaving your legs Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you
And your nose is bleeding You've been lying to me
There will be no hesitation There will be no confrontation There will be no indication There will be no cause There will be no exultation There will be no justification There will be no way at all
And your nose is bleeding You've been lying to me
Luno Come back to me the the way you were The way you were when we were young I'm trying to tell you everything I'm trying to tell you everything
I can heal the blind I can cure the sick I can say the right things I can say the right things Where d'you get so cruel Where do you go Cos you're never here
And your nose is bleeding You deserve it You've been lying to me
Plans
Wake up dreamer It's happening without you Cut your hair and shave your beard You squandered your chances I'll give you a thousand pounds To show me how you do it Stop being so laissez-faire We're all scared of the future
Been training vipers to come for you In your dreams to release you Been training vipers to come for you In your sleep And the ravens are leaving the tower And the ravens are leaving the tower Make your peace
I've got a taste for blood Leave the weak, leave the young I've got a taste for blood I'm walking out without you You will kill or be killed It's about progress I've got a taste for blood
Wake up sleepyhead It's happening without you Such a nice guy You tell me everything twice Whipcrack speed jump We will run backwards Stop being so laissez-faire We're all scared of the future
We make plans for big times Get bogged down, distracted We make plans for good times All neon, all surface So kiss me before it all gets complicated I've got a taste for blood
Compliments
We sit and we sigh And nothing gets done So right, so clued-up We just get old
And all the while Been torn asunder
Nicotine And bacteria
What are we coming to What are we gonna do
