A Day Is Far Too LongOn sticks and sand, lost my money, lost my hands
Blood on my brain, too much salt in my veins
And I thought pain was clean
And I thought hearts were strong
AdviceWhy can't you realise, just get more paralyzed
Then get the rabble round and shoot the arrows out
Go write a new song (you're so discerning)
Fall out of my tongue (it's quite determined)
Don't think of stopping when you see a stop sign
Just keep on playing the groovy records 'til the morning
Disjoint the pint, just shut the point
All Over MeHey, went in the shower and I fainted on the floor
I was free swimming in light
You were so scared, you washed my head in bright red water
You really thought, I was dead
I know why you make me so scared, you're all I can see
You speak and my hearing is impaired, you're all over me
Bah SingerExcuse for a man, how do you feel?
Look inside your head, it's a part of the deal
You're gonna hurt someone, gonna hurt them today
With your best shoes on, gonna blow them away
Bah singer, won't you ride? Bah singer, won't you ride?
Go get me a girl, go get me a room
Pour us out some wine, score us some gear
Gonna teach you to love, gonna teach you to feel
Bittersweet Bundle of MiseryNow the end is in sight, I'm just tired
Lying awake at night so wired
And fired up with biological urge in my belly
And I hunt for the words on my telecaster
Spinning faster, goodnight you
You're beautiful, I love to watch your face in the morning light
You're really cool, I like the way we fight right through the night
Caspian SeaWhere've you been? Where I can't see
Wooden lion on your knee
Washed & dressed by mountain hand
Came from water to the sand
Promise me, Caspian Sea
Caspian Sea. x4
Caspian Sea. x2
City HallGoing down to the city hall, a billion lights in front of me
Going down to the city hall, a billion lights in front of me
Going down to the city hall, a billion lights in front of me
Going down to the city hall, going down to the city hall
Going down to the city hall, a billion lights in front of me
Going down to the city hall, going down to the city hall
Going down to the city hall, going down to the city hall
Empty WordI could have laughed all night when you said that to me
With your mud red eyes looking straight through me
Cause love is such an empty word and life's hollow and absurd
And I will just never learn
I know you laughed all night after you said that to me
You bared you teeth so white like you were hungry for me
And you, you're just so complete and I, I'm just such a freak
And we, we just can't compete
Fags And FailureDon't know what I'm doing here
Days are full of chips and beer
I've found myself alone again
Tell me what went wrong my friend
Fags and failure every day
Fags and failure every night
Fags and failure till I lay down and die
Far From EverythingTake me by the hand
Take me to your land
Far from everything x2
Far from everything
Far
The soul is old
The body cold
Heart lies flat in all it’s bloodless fold
Girl Done GoneMy girl done gone now, my girl done gone, oh yeah
My girl done gone now, my girl done gone, oh yeah
I really need you, need you to lead me through
I want to know you, know you would be so true
Oh, Lord what have I done
Oh, Lord what have I done, oh, Lord
Hopeless FriendListen my hopeless friend, listen my hopeless friend
Come inside and drop your coat, wash your hair you smell like a goat
Listen my hopeless friend, listen my hopeless friend
Ain't you got no shoes to wear, ain't you got no blues to share
You used to think about magic and how to fit in
Now you think about madness and how to stay thin
How to stay thin, how to stay thin
i don't wanna go outI... don't wanna go out
I... don't wanna stay in
I'll sit inside my box and vandalise my dirty mind
I... don't wanna go out
I... don't wanna stay in
I'll sit inside my room and vandalise my dirty mind
I won't get any food but then I'll eat myself alive
I WishI wish the music would play by itself
Shredded fingers - no ideas
I wish this rainy day could be the last
Could the world end - what a god send
I wish I could stop wishing you were here
But I don't want to - cos I'd still want you
in my roomOutside the windows, they're singing
Inside the doorway, there's me
Endlessly thinking, working.
In my room
Outside the windows, they're singing
Inside the doorway, there's me
Endlessly thinking, working.

Jamie skates so nice and clean
Wish he could be my toy machine
Jamie skates so nice and clean
Wish he could be my toy machine
Jamie skates so nice and clean
Wish he could be my toy machine
Just A State Of MindEmptiness I've found you
How bleak you are
Moving in the shadows
You're here
and it's clear
that it's
Just a state of mind,
running through the times
Knife In The CastNever been home, never been here
Never been found, never been lost
Here in my heart I'm feeling the cosh
I fall to the ground heavy with loss
I'm trying to see somehow, the sky and the stars fall down
But out of the dark gravity scars the ground
LatteStretched into a form that would hurt your eyes to see
She made coffee latte and smiled at me
But then again she smiled at everybody
When I leave that place I'm always speeding
So much coffee in my brain a 'bleeding
A quickened step and a stomach reeling
From thoughts of her lips I wish mine were feeling
Life It SucksAnalyse myself away
Am I ready to forgive
If you wanted me back today
Could I really cope with it
Life it sucks sucks sucks so much
The slowest way to die
Light Up Your CandlesWell I know you say now "very well done, my old son"
But it's hard you know, every day is a dark dark one
Cus my old friend's here, tug tug tugging at my sleeve
You know he tugs so hard that he could almost make me leave
Light up your candles, into the dark we go
To be a good man is all I want you know
Light up your candles, cus here we go
Meet And Drink And PollinateMeet and drink and pollinate, meet and drink and pollinate
Meet and drink and pollinate, meet and drink and pollinate
Wear a short black number, they can see through
A Brian Ferry style lover is making eyes at at at you
Meet and drink and pollinate, meet and drink and pollinate
Meet and drink and pollinate, meet and drink and pollinate
Working undercover in his bedroom
A dodgy mack from Anne Summers make his heart boo boo boo boom
No Good TimeKick ass little girl going to a party
Eating blue Smarties 'cause she's rock'n'roll
Gonna do some coke and maybe do some poking
Gonna spin some records for a Jack and coke
Wasted little dj filling up the floor
And your records are boring 'cause you're cool as hell
Everybody's flying and everybody's sliding
Slowly suiciding in a tiled cell, in a tiled cell
NovemberAirs loose like musk from old coats
Roads rainbows with oil
Sky breaks, we are washed by the weather
November, wind blown together
A winter so vain
Envelope soak through
Sky breaks, we are washed by the weather
Airs loose like musk from old coats
Ooh, Yeh YehWalking in my Sunday suit, eyes on fire
Came accross you walking on the other side
"Hey there where you going, are you out of your mind?"
"Say there where you going, so out of your mind?"
You say "ooh, yeh yeh" (x2)
Off the curb he stumbles, he's high on amphetamine
Thoughts are disappearing through the cracks in his mind
People Of The EarthPeople of the earth, your world is crap
You ain't even on the universe map
People of the earth, you do not rock
You are nothing but a fluffy flock
People of the earth, you have failed
You still worship The Sun and The Daily Mail
People of the earth are you hearing me?
Perfect LoveOut of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love for me
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love
Through your perfect love
I met you & you met me, we sang in perfect harmony
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love for me
Out of the sea & into the tree flew your perfect love
Swam my perfect love
I met you & you met me, we sang in perfect harmony
Ribbons And LeavesIn an old house in an old street
You found me and a tv
There was no bed, there were no chairs
There was no roof, there were no stairs
Ribbons and leaves and time in a tin
Behind the wall in the kitchen
Life I love you
Running For Your LifeIn a town and you're never going home
And the boys wanna cut you to the bone
And feel like you're running for your life
In a town and you're never going home
And the boys wanna cut you to the bone
And feel like you're running for your life
In a town and you're never going home
And the boys wanna cut you to the bone
Seven Naked ValleysWhat'll we see when it all blows out?
Seven naked valleys for me
What'll it be when it's all washed out?
Seven naked valleys making you doolally and weak
How's it gonna be when we're all wiped out?
Seven naked valleys for me
What'll it be when it's all washed out
Seven naked valleys making you doolally and weak
Standing On My Own AgainStanding on the shore watching our ship go down
Sinking in the sand and I can't turn around
Future's looking black and it's a sight to see
Just a thousand grey waves crashing over me
Just a thousand grey waves breaking over me
Now it's happening to me, why can't I ever see?
Am I gonna let you leave without a sound?
Thank God For The RainSaw the news in the afternoon
'Nother war will be coming soon
Man ripped up like a piece of paper
With his wife looking on and no one to help her
Hammill says we're still in the dark ages
With people's greed and hating rages
The world don't learn so the world will burn
The world will burn cause the world won't learn
That's All I Wanna DoI saw you today, you were too far away
It'd hurt me to say, hurt me to say, the words, the words I have to say
There ain't no sound when you're not around
And it gets me down, yeah it gets me down, my life feels so brown
I just want to be with you, that's all I wanna do
I just want to be with you, that's all I wanna do
This HouseIn this house nothing keeps you warm
In this house writings on the wall
Felt like this before
In this house vinegar and pain
In this house loneliness again
Nights without an end
Weeping trees, scolded knees, you'll never see a place to hide
Tripping OverIt's all too much, too much for me
Running ahead and tripping over the sea
Something's out, just out of reach
The eternal running to mummy's knee
Running out, out of steam
Tripping over, ding dong bells
Winning first prize so easily
Walking All Day[Verse1]
Walkin' all day with my mouth on fire, tryin' to get talkin' to you
Walkin' all day with my mouth on fire, that's what I've gotta do
Tryin' to get talkin' to you
Walkin' all day with my feet on fire, tryin' to get closer to you
Walkin' all day with my feet on fire, that's what I've gotta do
Tryin' to get closer to you
Walkin' all day with my mind on fire, I can't stop thinking of you
Walking Down the HighwayWalking down the highway
Looking for my soul
Gonna do it the dry way
Twitching like a fool
Hitching 'cross the plains
Trying to find a way
Lord please let it rain
You And IYou and I gotta think for a while
Look to the sky, gotta decide if we're gonna see tomorrow
You and I gotta look to the sky
Are we gonna die wondering why life ain't nothing but sorrow?
'Cos it's gonna be a while
'Til I get to see you smile
