Dried up, a guitar upon my knee
I should have sold out when the devil came for me Dig a hole and throw it out to sea Break the code, how happy I could be I still wave at the dots on the shore And I still beat my head against the wall I still rage and wage my little war I'm a shade and easy to ignore White wall, I had to paint a door I always find that I've been through it before Close it up and throw away the key Break the code, how happy I could be I woke up and I had a big idea To buy a new soul at the start of every year I paid up and it cost me pretty dear Here's a hymn to those that disappear |

Access denied
All of the smarter kids they stay inside But out in the pouring rain You're kicking me with that look of sheer disdain The fat controller man He doesn't understand he's my biggest fan So I'll stay here on the floor It's better to be ignored than to be adored Church spires ticking Hose pipes hissing Don't want to smother you Just want you to be the mother of my children (now) And you do Good morning lucky man I hope you enjoyed your sojourn in Japan It's such a perfect scene Back here in Golders Green - cut...end of dream |

Up there a mountain rises
Down here an ocean dives A stranger with a head full of lead Photographs me Steel bars and a doctor's note Don't give up They can plead and beg but don't let them fix your head Outside a path to knowledge Inside a waste of cells A serpent with a mobile phone Sweet talks me |

We made the world believe we didn't care
We gate crashed parties and just stood and stared We moved to London and stayed in all year Standing next to you I disappear You made a choice for us to live it up I've got a voice inside me saying give it up Let's get out of here, let's find a new career You be famous and I'll disappear I erase myself again I need security, you favour chance I ponder everything while you advance You bring the world to me and I just sneer In your shadow I disappear I erase myself again (I'm here, I'm here, you're never standing still) |

Dust in the kitchen
Coffeepot Microdots Now we are coasting Talking less Breathing stress Somewhere inside I have died So I will lie In formaldehyde People walk Through my insides When I get out of here You get to keep the car And I get a plastic vase Or do you want me to stay? The things that I have to say You've heard it all anyway Send me to sleep You always could Fatherhood Tie up loose ends Make it stop Forget me not And would you really mind If I told you a millionth time The story of my decline? You never seem to take The time to contemplate Before you annihilate |

A body is washed up on a Norfolk beach He was a friend that I could not reach He thought I was cold but I understand But for the grace of god goes another man And I may just waste away from doing nothing But I'm a martyr to even less A choirboy is buried on the moors Where we used to go dreaming when we were bored So some kids are best left to fend for themselves And others were born to stack shelves And I may just waste away from doing nothing But I'm a martyr to even less |
