Party night at the Printworks, you talk shit to my friends, I don’t want to know you All that you say is false and I don’t want to hear it, your big ego crying And I doubted you all of the time Poor you, for being uptight and boring me with your stories, and your clippings from the NME You see, you were never important in the first place, your singer just slept with a journalist, you haven’t wrote a song in years And I doubted you all of the time And although you really wanted your name up in bright lights, you couldn’t get right - nobody cared I can be obnoxious and appalling, a womanising bully, just to get my way But I’m not a liar to myself like you, I never thought about myself in view of anything but what I am And I doubted you all of the time

Bully 08:48
I walk around just like a bully And I'm so tired, I want to be Home Home If I wake up in the night is there a breaking point when I go insane? Is there another place I end up? Talking in my ears every minute of the day Going on when I try to push it all away Just keeps coming back every time I keep it away Even with another in the way Julia... You used to be so interesting before Now you're just on Facebook like them all... I just wanna be loved So come on, and click my pixelated thumb Summer of love Its a miracle of modern technology

Factory Gone 04:39
Do what you want Do what you know Baby, I am telling you we've been here before Take what you love Make it your own You don't have to work for anybody Factory closed Factory gone I can feel the wheel pushing me on Got my own time, spend with someone, making a sound, turning me on I walked all night 'till I got home Used up my mind tripping alone Better to slide into the unknown I don't wanna work for anybody

Sometimes I wish that I was moderately rich And had a house of my own I’d be a liar if I denied it Material things give you control A middle class existence With an eye for all that’s good A middle class existence With it’s baggage, connections, and social codes I’ve seen the daughters and the sons Well-spoken boredom, easy it comes How I dream to be those ones Or at least with those circumstances I don’t wanna loose what my past is But the strangest things happen to men Who want more than they have And I want to be middle class Sometimes I wish I’d never seen them When I left the gate of my old school They hold the key above me Privately educated, nauseatingly sympathetic wealthy liberals But I can’t describe my encompassing sense of disappointment When I meet the subject of my awe That lucky girl, whose father and mother were both singers And successful, and well known But she flirts with ‘revolutionaries’ That she thinks will make her so free But they’re just as tied up as her In their perennial contradiction of spurning money Yet having so much more that it hurts The lazy nods to anarchism, environmentalism, scepticism They wanna change the world we live in But don’t they see That their wealth and choice comes from that system? I’ve seen the daughters and the sons Well-spoken boredom, easy it comes How I dream to be those ones Or at least in those circumstances I don’t wanna loose what my past is I don’t wanna take any chances I wanna be a complete bastard With a sunny-side outlook And a nice matching outfit And a Cath Kidson giftbag Then no more then will I have Inferiority

It was a crazy year, it was kicking off with the band, and in the nights and every part of life the tubes were burning bright, and the sound was crystal clear I was sitting on the floor with two sisters with their heads in my hands, I was about to disappear, I could feel everything reducing down to nothing else But its not science It's not a union It's not love, though I feel it as if it was It's not art or God It's not here for too long It's just a line or two that gets you thinking that you are That you are more than a friend now to someone She starts reactions one by one like a particle that moves when I have stopped Everybody can see but she just carries on It's impossible to face the empty blackness that dominates inside me every time I hear you name with another or another said with yours But its not my concern It's not a fact I can even let on It's not for me, but my hands still on your arm It's not right it's not wrong Sometimes it's there sometimes it's not But when it is there's nothing i want more than to be more than more than a friend now to someone So talk it over once or twice There's always someone with advice Not that it means that much in my experience If you're married or not If you want more than you've got That's the trouble with love There is ahead a spinning wheel of fate that turns emotions complex and complicated as the day But I just leave it for others, not for me And it weaves and expands the tapestry of lovers and love and life and all their different strands I just can't tell anymore what's meant for me But it's not my responsibility Its not a fault I can even perceive It just feels like a cheater when I'm not Maybe I want to be? What would you even think? What would you say if you knew these things and I was more than more than a friend now to someone?

Very Blue 02:56
There's a boat on the water You can see it from here Painted scenes of modern history Daylight streams out of the fear There's a feeling in the colour There's a space where you could hide The confusion of it's an obsession That lasts a moment in disguise And the sea looks so very blue to my eyes Laws are made to control a man And all of life, being insane Carrots on a stick to blow you away No, i don't want to eat today Darkness on the underside of the finery That makes you feel it's worth the lie I've been brainwashed by the cloud-seeding better-world I read in the advertising Well, it seemed like an easier life Misleading Misleading Asleep
8.
You See 04:48
Oh my, Sleepy Head Better put you to bed With some honey in your tea To get down to the cold world That’s always underneath You were the Queen of the night Now you’re a servant to the day But as you watch her quite discreetly She’s modest when she wants to be You see? They battered you with life The splendour and the deed The breaking of the bond that comes so quietly You only feel it as it leaves Between yourself and us Society ashamed you Stifled and enraged you But only ‘cause you let things pass you by You see? Or do you not? Count wisdom as release from governance And the mind as a torturer that will sustain you In War And more… You see?

Railroad Man 04:10
Used to be a railroad Used to get the railroad blues Used to be a railroad Now I got myself no time to loose Used to be a bigger man Now I'm just a rock 'n' roll fool You can't tell me what to say 'Cause I don't wanna think like you Used to be a lonely man So I got myself some shit to shoot Used to be a lonely man Who needs a friend like you Tell me any anything Tell me what I got to do Tell me any anything Just don't give me the railroad blues 'Cause I used to think about valium 'Cause I used to think about truth And I used to think about religion But now all I can think about is you

It is enough To feel your love on my arm When you come around I'm not so withdrawn Keep me on your mind You've been on mine before In a field that becomes houses in the morn' All my sight is gone When I see the World at once I see the World at once It is the search of my life Of my life to resolve The fear of my lonely heart I once fell from the place The place of the bad And I'm not sure it's stopped or it ever can Weird people when magic goes wrong Can't feel it anymore I'm someone else i'm sure All my sight is gone And I see the World at once I see the World at once
12.
Thin Air 05:28
Your coat looks like a boys Looks like a house fit for a family All I want, all I want, is a room You call me up when you’ve been dreaming And tell me all you’ve seen All I want is to see you You and I will never learn How to control ourselves In this freedom of thin air that moves to slow Your heart beats like a tortured eye That looks on the world going out of its mind All I want is a tomb The first and the last time I knew Before I drew to soon Is that all I want is the womb You and I will never learn How to control ourselves In this freedom of thin air that moves to slow
13.
Fuzzy 04:14
Fade away Fade from me Memory is not the thorn that it used to be Before I am the pilot of a new plane I am a stone that breaks in two Without a force to divide But who am I? Does it seem a little fuzzy? All the meaning is gone Gone from me Gone from me You are the one who took the certainty from my life like a bomb Like a bomb Put under me Put under me Put under me I wish I had seen it come Seen it come Does it seem a little fuzzy? All the meaning is gone
