You can force it
but it will not come You can taste it but it will not form You can crush it but it's always here You can crush it but it's always near Chasing you home saying Everything is broken Everyone is broken You can force it but it will stay stung You can crush it as dry as a bone You can walk it home straight from school You can kiss it you can break all the rules But still Everything is broken Everyone is broken Everyone is everyone is broken Everyone is everything is broken Why can't you forget Why can't you forget Why can't you forget |

Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird Where are you now when I need you Alone on an aeroplane Fall asleep on against the window pane My blood will thicken I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain Cos I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath But who are my real friends Have they all got the bends Am I really sinking this low My baby's got the bends oh no We don't have any real friends no no no Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen I wish it was the sixties I wish I could be happy I wish I wish I wish that something would happen Where go from here The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear And where are you They brought in the CIA the tanks and the whole marines To blow me away to blow me sky high My baby's got the bends We don't have any real friends Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen I wish it was the sixties I wish I could be happy I wish I wish I wish that something would I wanna live breathe I wanna be part of the human race I wanna live breathe I wanna be part of the human race race race race Where do we go from here The words are coming out all weird Where are you now when I need you |

Two jumps in a week I bet you
think that's pretty clever don't you boy Flying on your motorcycle watching all the ground beneath you drop You'd kill yourself for recognition Kill yourself to never ever stop You broke another mirror You're turning into something you are not Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry Drying up in conversation You will be the one who cannot talk All your insides fall to pieces You just sit there wishing you could still make love They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world all sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at you You will be the one screaming out Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry It's the best thing hat you ever had The best thing that ou ever ever had It's the best thing hat you ever had The best thing that you ave had is gone away Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry Don't leave me high Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry |

A green plastic watering can
For a fake chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself It wears her out it wears her out It wears her out it wears her out She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns He used to do surgery On girls in the eighties But gravity always wins And it wears him out it wears him out It wears him out wears She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run And it wears me out it wears me out It wears me out it wears me out And if I could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted All the time all the time |

Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday You don't mean it But it hurts like hell My brain says I'm recieving pain A lack of oxygen From my life support My iron lung We're too young to fall asleep To cynical to speak We are losing it Can't you tell? We scratch our eternal itch A twentieth century bitch And we are grateful for My iron lung The head shrinkers They want everything My uncle Bill My Belisha beacon The head shrinkers They want everything My uncle Bill My Belisha beacon Suck, suck your teenage thumb Toilet trained and dumb When the power runs out We'll just hum This, this is our new song Just like the last one A total waste of time My iron lung The head shrinkers They want everything My uncle Bill My Belisha beacon The head shrinkers They want everything My uncle Bill My Belisha beacon And if you're frightened You can be frightened You can be, it's OK And if you're frightened You can be frightened You can be, it's OK The head shrinkers They want everything My uncle Bill My Belisha beacon |

Limb by limb tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me Every day every hour I wish that I was bullet proof Wax me mould me Heat the pins and stab them in You have turned me into this Just wish that it was bullet proof was bullet proof So pay the money and take a shot Lead fill the hole in me I could burst a million bubbles All surrogate and bullet proof And bullet proof And bullet proof And bullet proof |

I get home from work
and you're still standing in your dressing gown Well what am I to do I know all the things around your head and what they do to you What are we coming to What are we gonna do Blame it on the black star Blame in on the falling sky Blame in on the satellite that beams me home The trouble words of a troubled mind I try to understand what is eating you I try to stay awake but it's 58 hours since that I last slept with you What are we coming to I just don't know anymore Blame it on the black star Blame in on the falling sky Blame in on the satellite that beams me home I get on the train and I just stand about now that I don't think of you I keep falling over I keep passing out when I see a face like you What am I coming to I'm gonna melt down Blame it on the black star Blame in on the falling sky Blame in on the satellite that beams me home This is killing me This is killing me |

Rows of houses
all bearing down on me I can feel their blue hands touching me All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out This machine will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child form a circle Before we all go under And fade out again and fade out again Cracked eggs dead birds Scream as they fight for life I can feel death can see it's beady eyes All these things into position All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again lmmerse your soul in love lmmerse your soul in love |
