Please could you stop the noises
I'm trying to get some rest from all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that? I may be a paranoid But not an android (x2) When I am king You will be first against the wall With your opinion Which is of no consequence at all What's that? I may be a paranoid But not an android (x2) Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking squealing Gucci little piggy You don't remember You don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head, man Off with his head, man Why won't he remember my name? I guess he does Rain down, rain down Come on rain down on me From a great height From a great height, height (x2) That's it, sir You're leaving The crackle of pig skin The dust and the screaming The yuppies networking The panic, the vomit The panic, the vomit God loves his children God loves his children, yeah |

The breath of the morning i keep forgetting.
The smell of the warm summer air. I Live in a town where you can't smell a thing, you watch your feet for cracks in the pavement. Up above aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home, of all these wierd creatures who lock up their spirits, drill holes in themselves and live for their secrests. They're all up-tight I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane, late at night when im driving. Take me on board their beautiful ship, show me the world as id love to see it. I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe, they'd think that i'd finally lost it comletely. I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life. theyd shut me away. but i'd be alright. i'm just up-tight. |

Wake from your sleep
the drying of your tears Today we escape we escape Pack and get dressed before your father hears us before all hell breaks loose Breathe, keep breathing Don't loose your nerve Breathe, keep breathing I can't do this alone Sing us a song a song to keep us warm There's such a chill such a chill You can laugh a spineless laugh We hope your rules and wisdom choke you Now we are one in everlasting peace We hope that you choke that you choke We hope that you choke that you choke We hope that you choke that you choke |

Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people clinging on to bottles And when it comes it's so so disappointing Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Shell smashed, juices flowing Wings twitch, legs are going Don't get sentimental It always ends up drivel One day I'm going to grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and ... Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around Let down again Let down again Let down again You know, you know where you are with You know where you are with Floor collapsing Floating, bouncing back And one day.... I am going to grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and... Let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around |

comfortable not drinking too much regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week) getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries at ease eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats) a patient better driver a safer car (baby smiling in back seat) sleeping well (no bad dreams) no paranoia careful to all animals (never washing spiders down the plughole) keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then) will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in wall) favours for favours fond but not in love charity standing orders on sundays ring road supermarket (no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants) car wash (also on sundays) no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate nothing so childish at a better pace slower and more calculated no chance of escape now self-employed concerned (but powerless) an empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism) will not cry in public less chance of illness tires that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat) a good memory still cries at a good film still kisses with saliva no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick that's driven into frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness) calm fitter, healthier and more productive a pig in a cage on antibiotics? |

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement And if you get too far inside You'll only see my reflection It's always best when the light is off I am the pick in the ice Do not cry out or hit the alarm You know we're friends till we die And either way you turn I'll be there Open up your skull I'll be there Climbing up the walls It's always best when the light is off It's always better on the outside Fifteen blows to the back of your head Fifteen blows to your mind So lock the kids up safe tonight Put the eyes in the cupboard I've got the smell of a local man Who's got the loneliest feeling That either way he turns I'll be there Open up your skull I'll be there Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls Climbing up the walls |

A heart that's full up like a landfill,
a job that slowly kills you, bruises that won't heal. You look so tired-unhappy, bring down the government, they don't, they don't speak for us. I'll take a quiet life, a handshake of carbon monoxide, with no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises, Silent silence. This is my final fit, my final bellyache, with no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises please. Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden. No alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises, no alarms and no surprises please |

It barks at no one else but me
Like it's seen a ghost I guess it seen the sparks a-flowing No one else would know Hey man slow down, slow down Idiot, slow down, slow down Sometimes I get overcharged That's when you see sparks You ask me where the hell I'm going At a thousand feet per second Hey man slow down, slow down Idiot slow down, slow down Hey man slow down, slow down Idiot slow down, slow down |
