If i get old I will not give in
And if I do, remind me to pray

Remind me that once I was free
Once I was cool
Once I was me

But if I sit down and cross my arms
Haunt me with truth then shut up (?)

Lock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take the chair and start to talk shit

If I get old remind me of this
When I'm weakest well I really meant it

Whatever happens if we're still speaking
Pick up the phone
Play me this song

Banana Co.

Oh, banana co.
We really love you and we need you
And oh, banana co.
We'd really love to believe you, but
Everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah

Oh, she said no go
She said she'd like to
She's seen you
But no, no-ho go
She says if you die then we all do
Everything's burning down
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah

And everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah

Bishop's Robes

Dressed in bishop's robes
Terrifies me still
In bishop's robes
Bastard headmaster
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back

Children taught to kill, to tear themselves to bits
On playing fields
Dressed in bishop's robes
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back

Easy tumble
Easy fall
Easy rumble
Easy doll
I get up on
Easy love
I get up on
Easy questions

Faithless, The Wonder Boy

I've had these jeans since i was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards

I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But mom and dad will not give in

And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
No I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

And now I know just what it is
It's called disease and it's got my head
It always runs where I hide

Too scared too talk, too scared to try
Too scared to know the reasons why
And all my friends say bye bye

And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
No I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

How Can You Be Sure?

Seen all good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so
Battered and
Brought to the ground
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends

When i'm like this how can you be smiling
Saying
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?

If you walk out the door
Will I see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends

When I'm like this how can you be smiling
saying
how can you be sure?
(I don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?
(I don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?

I don't want you
I don't want you anymore
I don't want you
I don't want you anymore

India Rubber

Did it all for you to say
You never wanted me that way
Now the dogs have had their meat
I think i will go plug in the mains

I tumble like a cloud
Before you burn in hell
I suffocate myself into your hair

Will the sparrow make her smile
I'm instantly your biggest fan
How was i to know that you practised it before hand?

I tumble like a cloud
Before you burn in hell
I suffocate myself into your hair

Inside My Head

What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my fingers bleed
Now they're staring at me
I'm a coward now
I hold my peace

Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And I twist and turn in a chinese burn
You wanna go
You wanna go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my energy you suck from me
And I'm holding on for dear life

Quit smothering me
Quit laughing at me
I've got a disease
An English disease
It will not go
It will not go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What did you put in that syringe?
What have you really said to him?
He's sitting there inside of me

And you bother me
You posess me
You're there again
Ahead of me
And I wanna go
I wanna go

You're inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head

Killer Cars

Killer cars Cars Killer cars Too hard on the brakes again
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get out of the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?
I'm going out for a little drive
It might be last time you see me alive
There could be an idiot on the road
The only kick in life is pumping his steel
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won't ever take me alive
'Cause thay all drive...

Don't die on the motorway
The moon would freeze
The plants would die
I couldn't cope if you crashed today
All the things i forgot to say
I'm going out for a little drive could be
And it could be the last time you see me alive
What if the car loses control?
What if there's someone overtaking?
Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
They won't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive killer cars

Wrap me up in the back of the trunk
Packed with foam and blind drunk
No they won't ever take me alive
'Cause they all drive killer cars

They all drive killer cars
They all drive killer cars

Lewis (Mistreated)

Bummed out again
Buy early business friend
The smell of fear is bigger than you think

Hey don't do it
Do it

Change seem to fit
In the end you just feel sick
And then you choke on an anesthetic

Hey don't do it
Lewis
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here

We never noticed
We never understood
He just get crushed to fit
He never even smile

At the best, it's the best,
It's the best day I know

Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here

Lewis
Mistreated
I call you blue
Lewis
Mistreated
I call you blue

I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about it
I don't wanna talk about Lewis! Lewis! Lewis!
I don't wanna talk about it
Lewis! Lewis! Lewis!

vLozenge Of Love

I am gone
Everybody's waiting
And these fruit
Just a twist of poison
I won't be alone
When you're running in me
I can't stay
Like i'm somewhere always
I need more
A restless body cracks and rolls
I won't have the strength
When you're running in me

Maquiladora

Here it comes, Here it comes,
I can feel the hills exploding
Exploding gracefully
Burning up the freeway
Here it comes
Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
Beautiful gets into beautiful trouble
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you.
Oh baby burn

Fast die younger
Burns rubber
Useless rockers
From England
Good times
Had by all
Just swallow your guilt and your crutches
Blue and white birds stop and hide on the pedal
Interstate fire walk staright down the middle,
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby burn

Melatonin

Don't forget that you are our ...
Now go back to bed

We just know that you are our ...
You won't cry too hard

Death to all who stand in your way
my

Million Dollar Question

Was always waiting for the crush
The car to drive right through the shops
To call in sick and late at work
And take a holiday

Was always tangled up in knots
To keep myself from speaking up
But no one's listening anyway
Just trying to bribe me

And if it's alright
Then what are we doing here?
And if it's alright
This place is gasses by fear
And if it's alright
I'll tell you cos you nerver understand
And if it's alright I'll beg you
'Cause I'm a begging kind of man

Today I wrote a bad cheque
Packed a bag and took a jet
And no one's looking anyway
I hope you miss me

(Sometimes I think maybe I'm making a big mistake)

Molasses

Shake hands
Genocide
Molasses
Jet-powered caravans
Molasses
I'm too good
You're stuck on
Rent free earthquake zone
Molasses

I need someone else's glasses.
Starving waitresses in plasters,
Fat houseflies
Genocide
We've been stitched up
Molasses

Pearly

How d'you get your
Teeth so pearly
Children, dishes
White-washed faces

She runs from her father - pearly

Yellow (feel it crawl to me)
Milkshakes (crawl back again)
Hard rock (whatever you say)
Cafes (it won't go away)
That's where (I feel it crawl to me)
She got her (crawls back again)
Sweet tooth (it won't go away)
For white boys (whatever you say)

She runs from her father - pearly

Daddy hurts me
Daddy hurts me
Daddy hurts me

Permanent Daylight

Loose ropes still tied knots
I can't believe that i returned
loose threads still they sew
It's just i can't believe that we returned
Let's get out
Out
Will you come out with me?

Polyethylene

Disjointed, scare ourselves of all that you wanna be
Just got paid and now your going
How long should you be
If I get scared I'll just call you
And I miss you glow as i unsettle
Oh And I'll always feel I will always be
right

One,two three, four

So sad you're sitting tight well come and live with me
So sad you seem, tired, well come and live with me
Something in your polyethylene
There is no significant risk to your health
She used to be beautiful once as well

Plastic bag middle class polyethylene
Decaffeinate, I'll let it keep all surfaces clean
If you don't believe me, sell your soul
If you don't get into it, no one will

Pop Is Dead

Oh no, pop is dead
Long live pop
It died an ugly death
By back catalogue

And now you know
It gets you nowhere
And now you know
You realise

Oh no pop is dead
It just gave up
We'll raise the dead
But they won't stand up

I realise I'm a outlaw
And now you know
You're going to die
He left this message for us

So what pop is dead
It's no great loss
So many facelifts
His face flew off

The empirer has no clothes on
And now his skin is peeling off

Oh no pop is dead
Long live pop
We'll find a lot of coke
To jerk him up
Jerk him up

He left this message for us
He left this message for us
He left this message for us

Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong

I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to fire upon the house
I didn't feel pain
Cause no one can touch me
Now that i'm held in your smile

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into doubt
Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
Oh
I never cared before
I never cared before
I never cared before
Before
Before
Before

A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into doubt
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn you world into doubt
Yeah
I stood in front of her face
When the first bullet
Was shot

Stupid Car

I find it hard
To drive your stupid car
I find it hard
Cause I never get that far
And you put my brain in overload
And I can't change gears
I cannot see the road
You got concrete eyes
And I cannot see your face
And I failed in life
Cause you crushed me with your hands
And you put my brain in overload
I can't change gears
I cannot see the road

Talk Show Host

I want to
I want to be someone else or I'll explode
Floating upon this surface for the birds
The birds
The birds

You want me?
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing

You want me?
Well come and break the door down
You want me?
Fucking come and break the door down
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready

The Trickster

Rust in the mountains
Rust in the brain
The air is sacred here
In spite of your claim
Up on the roof tops
Out of reach
Trickster is meaningless
Trickster is weak
He's talking out the world
Talking out the world Hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway
Hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway

I wanted you so bad
And I couldn't say
All things fall apart
We wanted out so bad
We couldn't say
These things fall apart
We're talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway
Hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway

Truant kids- a can of brick dust worms
Who do not want to climb down from
Their chestnut tree
Long white gloves
Police tread carefully
Espaced from the zoo
The perfect child facsimile
It's Talking out the world
Talking out the world

Yes I Am

I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I
Don't have a choice

Anywhere I go
You are always there
Outside the car
Or in my hair

I think I've been here before
Yes I've been here before
The last time you locked
All the doors

And I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I
Don't have a choice

And yes I am
Yes I am

I think I've told you once
I think I needed advice
You were such a help
That's very nice

I think I've been here before
Yes I've been here before
But this time I kick
Down your door

Yes I am
Yes I am

You Never Wash Up After Yourself

I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
Spiders crawl over the bed

I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now I'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plate
You never wash up after yourself
