All Of The Time
04:14
|
|||
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

Middle Class Existence
05:48
|
|||
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

The Trouble With Love
04:26
|
|||
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

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

Magic Gone Wrong
02:09
|
|||
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

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

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
