Well you tried it just for once
Found it alright for kicks
But now you found out
It's a habit that sticks

And you're an orgasm addict
You're an orgasm addict

Sneakin' in the back door
With dirty magazines
And your mother wants to know
"What are those stains on your jeans?"

You're an orgasm addict
You're an orgasm addict

You get in a heat
You get in a sulk
But you still keep on beatin'
Your meat to pulp

And you're an orgasm addict
You're an orgasm addict

You're a kid Cassanova
You're a no-Joseph
It's a labour of love
Fucking yourself to death

Orgasm addict
You're an orgasm addict

You're makin' out with school kids
Winos and heads of state
You've even made it with the lady
Who puts the little plastic Robbins
On the Christmas cakes

Butcher's assistants and bellhops
You've had 'em all here and there
Children of god and their joy strings
International women with no body hair

So you're asking in an alley
And you're voice ain't steady
The sex mechanic's rough
You're more than ready

You're an orgasm addict
You're an orgasm addict

Johnnie want fuckie
All ways and always
He's got the energy
He will amaze

He's an orgasm addict
He's an orgasm addict

He's always at it
He's always at it

And he's an orgasm addict
He's an orgasm addict

I just want a lover like any other
What do I get
I only want a friend who will stay to the end
What do I get

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

I'm in distress I need a caress
What do I get
I'm not on the make I just need a break
What do I get

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you things seem to turn out right
I wish they'd only happen to me instead

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

I only get sleepless nights
Alone here in my half-empty bed
For you things seem to turn out right
I wish they'd only happen to me instead

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

I just want a lover like any other
What do I get
I only want a friend who will love to the end
What do I get

What do I get
Oh oh what do I get
What do I get
Oh oh what do I get

Well let me tell you now

(What do I get)
(What do I get)
(What do ...) I get no love
(What do ...) I get no sleep at nights
(What do ...) I get nothing that's nice
(What do ...) I get nothing at all
At all,at all,at all
At all,at all,at all
'Cause I don't get you

Reality's a dream
A game in which I seem
To never find out just what I am
I don't know if I'm an actor or ham
A shamen or sham
But if you don't mind
I don't mind

I'm lost without a clue
So how can I undo
The tangle of these webs I keep weaving
I don't know if I should be believing
Deceptive perceiving
But if you don't mind
I don't mind

I used to bet that you didn't care
But gambling never got me anywhere
Each time I used to feel so sure
Something about you made me doubt you more

How can you convince me
When everything I see
Just makes me feel you're putting me down
And if it's true this pathetic clown'll
Keep hanging around
That's if you don't mind
I don't mind

I used to bet that you didn't care
But gambling never got me anywhere
Each time I used to be so sure
Something about you made me doubt you more

I even think you hate me when you call me on the phone
And sometimes when we go out that I wish I'd stayed at home
And when I'm dreaming or just lying in my bed
I think you've got it in for me
Is it all in my head is it in my head

How can you convince me
When everything I see
Just makes me feel you're putting me down
And if it's true this pathetic clown'll
Keep hanging around
That's if you don't mind
I don't mind
I don't mind

It's a thing that's worth having
Yes I would
Buys you your life sir
If it could

I, I want you
Autonomy

It leaves us all wondering
And it should
He's up to something
For the good

I, I want you
Autonomy

I, I want you
Autonomy

It leaves us all wondering
And it should
He's up to something
For the good

I, I want you
Autonomy

I, I want you

They're nice and precise, each one begins and ends
They may win you admirers, but they'll never earn you friends
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars

They're so depressing going around and around
Ooh, they make me dizzy, oh fast cars they run me down
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars

Sooner or later, you're gonna listen to Ralph Nader
I don't wanna cause a fuss, but fast cars are so dangerous
Fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, I hate fast cars, fast cars
Fast cars, fast cars
I hate fast cars

Honey I saw you yesterday
On my way home
Baby I craved for you today
So I decided to phone
So why don't we get together soon
And er get on our own
Just think of what me and you could do
If we get on our own
If we could get on our own
If we could get on our own

Honey I saw you again today
And I er liked what I saw
So why we don't meet tonight
Then I could er see a bit more
So how's about we get together soon
Well why be alone
Just think of what me and you could do
If we get on our own
If we could get on our own
If we could get on our own

Just think of it
Me and you
Us together
Yes just we two
Think of all the things
That me and you could do
If we get on our own
If we could get on our own
If we could get on our own
Just me and you
Ah

You know I don't like dancin'
An' I don't like to bop
Too much movement's exertion
Makes me wish I could drop
Dro' dro' dro' dro' dro' dro' drop

An' I don't like French kissin'
'Cause you swallow my tongue
And you think that you're oh so very old
You only want me 'cause you think I'm so young
Yo' yo' yo' yo' yo' yo' young

All right
OK
No way

An' I wish I was sixteen again
Then things would be such fun
All the things I'd do would be the same
But they're much more fun
Than when you're twenty wo' wo' wo' wo' wo' one

All right
OK
No way

An' I hate modern music
Disco boogie pop
They go on an' on an' on an' on an' on
How I wish they would stop

A fiction romance
I love this love story
That never seems to happen in my life
A fiction romance
All love and glory
That never seems to happen in my life

Dreams of love and dreams of pain
And dreams again again again
Again which can be yours just by taking hold
Dreams that I can realize
Are quite contained within your eyes
Say fiction romance is not so old

A fiction romance
The love of the ages
That never seems to matter in my life
A fiction romance
On magazine pages
That never seems to feature in my life

Dreaming scheming unaware
That quite somewhere some unaware folk
Are not thinking 'bout what they have been told
Something strange is happening to
The way I see the world I view
That fiction romance is not sold

As a fiction romantic
I never expected
All these things to happen in real life
And no fiction romantic
Could ever've predicted
All the things that happen in my life

When I don't know what to do
I just think about me and you
If I was a little stronger then I'd be bold
Something strange is happening to me
I don't know what these shivers mean to you
Is this the fiction kind of romance getting hold

A fiction romance
A fiction romance
A fiction romance
A fiction romance
A fiction romance
A fiction romance
A fiction romance
A fiction romance

Fiction romance
Fiction romance
Fiction romance
Fiction romance

I'm in love again
Been like this before
I'm in love again
This time's true I'm sure

Don't wanna end up like no nine day wonder
I've been hurt so many times before
So my darlin' I will never leave you
It's in my blood to always love you more
Love you more

It's my heart again
That drives me so wild
I just can't explain
Although I'm not a child

So why would I cry if you ever left me?
Maybe 'cause you're all I'm livin' for
With every heartbeat I want you madly
It's in my blood to always love you more
Love you more

Oh my love again
What I say is true
Though it may sound plain
I love you

And it means more to me than life can offer
And if this isn't true love then I am sure
That after this love there'll be no other
Until the razor cuts

You spurn my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt and I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I run the risk of losing you and that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

I can't see much of a future
Unless we find out what's to blame, what a shame
And we won't be together much longer
Unless we realize that we are the same

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
Ever fallen in love
In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

You disturb my natural emotions
You make me feel I'm dirt and I'm hurt
And if I start a commotion
I'll only end up losing you and that's worse

Ever fallen in love with someone
Ever fallen in love

You shouldn't've fallen in love with

In love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Fallen in love with
Ever fallen in love with someone
You shouldn't've fallen in love with

Tells me what to do
When emotions blow a fuse
Indicating blue

And how to make adjustments when
You tamper with my mind

Oh, operators manual
I'd just fall apart without you
If only I had a mechanic
Then somehow I know I'd pull through

Tells me what to do when you
Do these things to me

I bet that you love me like I love you
But I should know that gambling just don't pay
So I look up to the sky
And I wonder what it'll be like in days gone by
As I sit and bathe in the wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I always used to dream of the past
But like they say yesterday never comes
Sometimes there's a song in my brain
And I feel that my heart knows the refrain
I guess it's just the music that brings on nostalgia for an age yet to come

Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come

About the future I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I look and I only see what I don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm trapped in the middle of time
And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come

Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come

About the future I only can reminisce
For what I've had is what I'll never get
And although this may sound strange
My future and my past are presently disarranged
And I'm surfing on a wave of nostalgia for an age yet to come

I look I only see what I don't know
All that was strong invincible is slain
Takes more than sunshine to make everything fine
And I feel like I'm caught in the middle of time
And this constant feeling of nostalgia for an age yet to come

Ah, nostalgia for an age yet to come

Nostalgia for an age yet to come
Nostalgia for an age yet to come

I'm on my own now
You've gone and left me
I bet you don't know
How you've upset me

'Cause I've nothing left at all
At all, at all, at all, at all
At all, at all, at all
I've nothing left at all

Did you love me?
I'd like to think so
But I was blameless
So why did you go?

'Cause I've nothing left at all
At all, at all, at all, at all
At all, at all, at all
I've nothing left at all

I've lost a lover
And I am certain
I'll get another
So why'm I hurtin'

'Cause I've nothing left at all
At all, at all, at all, at all
At all, at all, at all
I've nothing left at all

'Cause I've nothing left at all
At all, at all, at all, at all
At all, at all, at all
I've nothing left at all

Do you believe in E.S.P.?
I do and I'm trying to get through to you
If you're picking up off me
Think about just what to do, think

Brainwaves transmitted from my mind
Of a magnetic kind
I don't know what to do
If I can't get through to you, so think

Do you believe in E.S.P.?
I've been trying to get through to you
If you've been picking up off me
Then you'll know just what to do, don't you

Ah, loving you is easy you are on my side
We played the game strictly to our rules
We led the field a love affair
Which made all other lovers fools

Oh, how can you ever let me down (down)
How can you ever let me down (down)
How can you ever let me down
These promises (a-ah)
Are made for us (o-o-oh o-oh)

We promised that we'd always have time for each other
Whenever I needed you'd be there
We promised to be true there'd be no other
We promised that forever we would care

Oh, how can you ever let me down? (down)
How can you ever let me down? (down)
How can you ever let me down?
These promises (a-ah)
Are made for us (o-o-oh o-oh)

We had to change
Oh, but you stayed the same
You wouldn't change
Oh, what a shame

'Cause loving you's not easy you're not on my side
We play a game with two sets of rules
We lead the field in a love affair
Oh, strictly meant for fools

Oh, why did you ever let me down (down)
Why did you ever let me down (down)
Why did you ever let me down
Those promises (a-ah)
Were made for us (o-o-oh o-oh)

You never have any time for me
Whenever I need you you're not there
You've never been true and it's plain to see
The fact is you never really cared

Oh, why did you ever let me down (down)
Why did you ever let me down (down)
Why did you ever let me down
Those promises (a-ah)
We made for us (o-o-oh o-oh)

When you kiss me
Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face
Will you miss me
In your dreams does your lover have my face

Ah, when you kiss me
Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face
Ah, will you miss me
In your dreams does your lover have my face

It's the morning
And the mourning it is dawning on me too
I'd no warning
Just a condolence card to tell me that we're through

Ah, it's the morning
And the mourning it is dawning on me too
I had no warning
Just a condolence card to tell me that we're through

Will you kiss me
Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face
When you miss me
In your dreams does my lover have your face

Ah, when you kiss me
Does the lipstick on your lip stick on my face
Ah, will you miss me
In your dreams does your lover have my face

I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion love is a dream
But I don't know what it is

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

I was so tired of being upset
Always wanting something I never could get
Life's an illusion love is a dream
But I don't know what it is

'Cause everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Life's an illusion love is the dream
But I don't know what it is
Everyone's saying things to me
But I know it's okay, okay

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Life's an illusion love is a dream
Life's an illusion love is the dream
Life's the illusion love is a dream
Life's the illusion love is the dream

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Well, bet you're tired of being upset
Always wanting something you never could get
Life's an illusion love's not a dream
Now I know just what it is

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Whenever I'm in doubt about things I do
I listen to the high street wailing sounds in a queue
I go out for my walking sailing social news
Don't let it get me down I'm long in the tooth

When I'm out in the open clattering shoppers around
The neon signs that take your eyes to town
Your thoughts are chosen your world is advertising now
And extravagance matters to worshippers of the pound

But it's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head

The tortured faces expression out aloud
And life's little ironies seem so obvious now
Your cashed in cheques have placed the payments down
And there's a line of buses all wait to take you out

But it's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head
It's a ...

It's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head

Whenever I'm in doubt about things I do
I listen to the high street wailing sounds in a queue
I go out for my walking sailing social news
Don't let it get me down I'm long in the tooth

'Cause it's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head
It's a harmony in my head

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cause I'm in love with you
And I wouldn't want you doing things you don't want to do
Oh you know I've always wanted you to be in love with me
And it took so long to realize the way things have to be
I wanted to live in a dream that couldn't be real
And I'm starting to understand now the way that you feel
You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me 'cause I have got the time
To wait in case someday you maybe change your mind
I've decided not to make the same mistakes this time around
As I'm tired of having heartaches I've been thinking and I've found
I don't want to live in a dream I want something real
And I think I understand now the way that you feel
You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't
You say you don't

You say you don't love me
Well that's alright with me I'm not in love with you
I just want us to do the things we both want to do
Though I've got this special feelin' I'd be wrong to call it love
For the word entails a few things that I would be well rid of
I've no need to live in a dream it's finally real
And I hope you now understand this feeling I feel
You say you don't
You say you don't
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me
You say you don't love me
Mmm

I don't know what to do with my life
Should I give it up and make a new start
I don't know what to do with my life
'Cause the one I've got just tears me apart
I can't wake up in the morning
And I can't get to sleep at night
I'm not expecting things to be perfect
But a high success rate would be nice

I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life

I don't know what's gone wrong with my life
But you know I never do seem to win
Whenever I think I've straightened it out
It becomes a vicious circle again
I can't love when anyone loves me
And I can't find the someone to love
But then I start to count my blessings
And I feel I'm getting more than enough

I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life

I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life

I don't know what's gone wrong with my life
But you know I never do seem to win
Whenever I think I've straightened it out
It becomes a vicious circle again
I can't love when anyone loves me
And I can't find the someone to love
But then I start to count my blessings
And I feel I'm getting more than enough of love

I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
I don't know what to do with my life
It's my life

In these times of contention it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past

I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe in I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in

When I poison my system I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colours that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going if to end or begin

I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

I've fallen from favour while trying to savour experience
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line

I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
I believe in my Mum and my Dad
And I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling I just want them to last

I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe I'm going to be late
So I'll be leavin'
What I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

Everybody's happy nowadays
Everybody's happy nowadays

Yesterday while feeling down, I called you on the phone
Instead of being warm you seemed so cold
Was it something that I said or something on your mind
No matter what it was, we had a row

Believe me, I'm sorry
I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
Forgive me, I beg you
You know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go

It was my fault, you're not to blame, it's me who is in the wrong
That's why I wrote this song just to explain
Accept my apology, it comes straight from my heart
Let's put it all behind us and move on

Believe me, I'm sorry
I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
Forgive me, I beg you
You know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go

Believe me, I'm sorry
I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
Forgive me, I beg you
You know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go

Believe me, I'm sorry
I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
I beg you, forgive me
You know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go

There's no two ways about it
There's nothing left to say
If only you'd paid attention
Then things wouldn't be this way
Crazy paved with good intentions
Is the rut that you're stuck in
So that all that's left to fear
Is the enemy within

Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real

Spare me your hypocrisy
I haven't got the time
For unreasonable reason's
More a punishment than crime
We all can take cold comfort
Now the writing's on the wall
But the pill that's left to swallow
Is the bitterest of all

Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
One more Pyrrhic victory
Another dodgy deal

Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real

Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
One more Pyrrhic victory

Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
One more Pyrrhic victory
Another dodgy deal

Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind-up

Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind-up

Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind-up

Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind-up

Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind-up

Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion
It's all a wind-up

Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real

Well you live in a dream
Life's not what it seems
This is the time for your wake up call
No sense of being
No way of seeing
This is the time for your wake up call

Ooh
Ooh

On that ice you swerve
Well you got a nerve
This is the time for your wake up call
When you're living a lie
Can't see eye to eye
This is the time for your wake up call

Ooh
Ooh

Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, what were you thinking of
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, what were you thinking of

No cause for alarm
It can't do you no harm
This is the time for your wake up call
So you walk in your sleep
All those dreams you can keep
This is the time for your wake up call

Ooh
Ooh

Well, I've been up all night
Couldn't get to dream at all
Trying hard not to make a decision
You know it doesn't seem right
When your back's to the wall
To be accused of sensationalism
But the way things are going
Wouldn't be at all surprised
If a song that I liked won the next Eurovision

I turn around and it all looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change

It's a mixed up world
These are mixed up times
And the recipe of life's mixed up too
But it's the quality of the ingredients that matter
I award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking
That you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you

I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change

You know, I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through

I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change

You know, I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through

It's a mixed up world
These are mixed up times
And the recipe of life's mixed up too
But it's the quality of the ingredients that matter
I award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking
That you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you

I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely upon is change

I look around but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely upon is change

It's a blur
It's a slur
As you were
It's a thing all covered in pain

Half a mind
There's no time
Do a line
You can't find anything to say

Any way
Any day
Can you play
With a list of human remains

Have a shave
Take a rave
Be a slave
From a kestrel to a knave

On the go
Feeling fast
Feeling slow
Want to throw
Want to know
Want to throw

In the door
Out the door
On the floor
You want more
To adore
It's a bore

Any way
Any day
Can you play
With a list of human remains

It's a chance
It's a stance
It's a dance
It's a recoil on advance

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
You're hung up on the things
That drives you insane

It's a blur
It's a slur
As you were
It's a thing all covered in pain, yeah

Half a mind
There's no time
Do a line
You can't find anything to say

Any way
Any day
Can you play
With a list of human remains

Have a shave
Take a rave
Be a slave
From a kestrel to a knave

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
You're hung up on the things
That drives you insane

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
You're hung up on the things
That drives you insane

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
You're hung up on the things
That drives you insane

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
You're hung up on the things
That drives you insane

Sun streams through the window, it's another day
I lie in bed nursing my hangover
Couldn't stomach breakfast
I feel like throwing up

Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after

The switch to double brandies was a big mistake
Now my mouth tastes like the bottom of a birdcage
It's nature's way of telling me
That I had better stop

Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after

Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after
Wake up and face the morning after

When you don't know who you are
And you're walking with a scar
In the places that are breaking down your mind
It's a complicated day
Busy people on their way
Mirrored buildings reflecting in your eyes

Sick city sometimes
Sick city in your mind
Sick city sometimes
Sick city left you way behind

Through the paper and the trash
All the needles and the cash
Side by side with the man in the big car
Then it turns the dead of night
And you get into a fight
And the blades run down your back like superstars

Sick city sometimes
Sick city in your mind
Sick city sometimes
Sick city left you way behind

Sick city sometimes
Sick city in your mind
Sick city sometimes
Sick city left you way behind

Sick city sometimes
Sick city in your mind
Sick city sometimes
Sick city left you way behind

Now the buildings take a fall
And it tries to kill us all
In the name of something zero in your mind

Now the buildings take a fall
And it tries to kill us all
In the name of something zero in your mind

Sick city sometimes
Sick city in your mind
Sick city sometimes
Sick city left you way behind

He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)

He is poised to a very strange degree
Wrapped up in emotional imagery
Small and senseless on an alter ego trip
He wants to alter your every ego trip
Nothing special, nothing to see me
Nothing doing, nothing with me
Nothing much and nothing to do with me

He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)

He is awash in competing theories
He's glad to be out of the house
It's that time of the evening
I need to have some feeling
I'm all surface tension no pretension
Keeps you going, gets you nowhere
Present tense in the worst person singular

He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)

Because the message is cheap and exhilarating
Now he's slobbering on the glass
A sexistic boy having a world wide wank
He says well that's very punk of me
Nothing special, nothing to see me
Nothing doing, nothing with me
Nothing much and nothing to do with me

He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are really dead
(He cries until the stars in his eyes are dead)
He wants to cry until the stars in his eyes are dead

It's such a certain move
Don't throw it right back on me
It's such a certain move
Open your eyes so you can see

You look like you should know
So let the four winds blow
I think it's time to go

It's such a certain move
Just turn your mind from night to day
It's such a certain move
I could believe in what you say

You look like you should know
So let the four winds blow
I think it's time to go

It's such a certain move
Don't throw it right back on me
It's such a certain move
Open your eyes so you can see

It's such a certain move
From time to time and day to day
It's such a certain move
What does it matter anyway

It's such a certain move
From time to time and day to day
It's such a certain move
What does it matter anyway

I could believe in what you say
What does it matter anyway

Talking like you're some big news
Now you've got a chance to choose
Baby there's nothing to lose
Yeah, I'm up for the crack

Maybe there's something to see
Something about you and me
Who knows what it could be
But I'm up for the crack
Yeah, up for the crack

So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated

So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated

Crazy, I'm on the attack
I've gotta scream for a regular jack
And if you see me on your back
Yeah, I'm up for the crack

So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated

So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated

Crazy, I'm on the attack
I've gotta scream for a regular jack
And if you see me on your back
Well, I'm up for the crack

Breaking into something new
You know there's one thing I can do
And if I said I'd see it through
Yeah, I'm up for the crack
Up for the crack
Up for the crack
Yeah, I'm up for the crack
Well, up for the crack
Yeah, up for the crack
Up for the crack

Life's full of disappointments
Wonder where the good times went
Craving for recognition
Rather than accomplishment

Nobody cares what your name is
And it's gonna stay that way
Everything is off the record
Face it, there's nothing to say
Life's only temporary
And then you fucking die

It's a useless situation
Can't you see that I'm between
Patience and persuasion
Every single time

Mingling amongst the masses
That much would be enough
You used to be my rival
Quit when the going gets rough

I never witnessed the moment
When all you ever wanted was me
Understand now the penny's dropped
Pissed off bunny, not happy
Don't want to think about it
It makes me fucking mad

It's a useless situation
Can't you see that I'm between
Patience and persuasion
Every single time

It's a useless situation
Can't you see that I'm between
Patience and persuasion
Every single time

I never witnessed the moment
When all you ever wanted was me
Understand now the penny's dropped
Pissed off bunny, not happy
Life's only temporary
And then you fucking die

It's a useless situation
Can't you see that I'm between
Patience and persuasion
Every single time

It's a useless situation
Can't you see that I'm between
Patience and persuasion
Every single time

Reality's a dream, a game in which I seem
To never find out just what I am
I don't know if I'm an actor or ham, a shamen or sham
But if you don't mind and I don't mind

I'm lost without a clue so how can I undo
The tangle of these webs I keep weaving
I don't know if I should be believing, deceptive perceiving
But if you don't mind and I don't mind

I used to bet that you didn't care
But gambling never got me anywhere
Each time I used to feel so sure
Something about you made me doubt you more

How can you convince me, when everything I see
Just makes me feel you're putting me down
And if it's true, this pathetic clown'll keep hanging around
That's if you don't mind and I don't mind

I used to bet that you didn't care
But gambling never got me anywhere
Each time I used to be so sure
Something about you made me doubt you more

I even think you hate me when you call me on the phone
And sometimes when we go out, then I wish, I'd stayed at home
And when I'm dreaming or just lying in my bed
I think you've got it in for me, is it all in my head? Is it in my head?

How can you convince me, when everything I see
Just makes me feel you're putting me down
And if it's true this pathetic clown'll keep hanging around
That's if you don't mind and I don't mind, I don't mind

Honey I saw you yesterday
On my way home
Baby I craved for you today
So I decided to phone
So why don't we get together soon
And er get on our own
Just think of what me and you could do
If we get on our own
If we could get on our own
If we could get on our own

Honey I saw you again today
And I er liked what I saw
So why we don't meet tonight
Then I could er see a bit more
So how's about we get together soon
Well why be alone
Just think of what me and you could do
If we get on our own
If we could get on our own
If we could get on our own

Just think of it
Me and you
Us together
Yes just we two
Think of all the things
That me and you could do
If we get on our own
If we could get on our own
If we could get on our own
Just me and you
Ah

Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable

Last night I dreamed that I took your life
We cut it up together with a sharpened knife
Then next night I found a dead horse in your bed
And when I rolled over it was you instead

Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable

Every time you lied, you actually died
Shot in the head, in a cupboard and fried
The next day I came, I was in a frame
Hannibal the Cannibal all over again

Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable

And the wind blows, dreams of my rose

[Solo]

And the wind blows, dreams of my rose

Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, it's unthinkable

Oh, oh, oh, (did you do it or did you see), it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, (did you do it or did you see), it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, (did you do it or did you see), it's unthinkable
Oh, oh, oh, (did you do it or did you see), it's unthinkable

If I seem a little jittery I can't restrain myself
I'm falling into fancy fragments - can't contain myself
I'm gonna breakdown - breakdown yes

Now I can stand austerity but it gets a little much
when there's all these livid things that you never get to touch
I'm gonna breakdown ...

I feel me brain like porridge coming out of me ears
and I was anticipating reverie
I've taken leave of me senses - and I'm in arrears
my legs buckle over - I'm living on my knees
I'm gonna breakdown ...

Whatever makes me tick it takes away my concentration
sets my hands a-trembling - gives me frustration
I'm gonna breakdown ...

So I hear that two is company for me it's plenty trouble
though my double thoughts are clearer now that I am seeing double
I'm gonna breakdown ...

Oh mum can I grow out of what's too big for me?
I'll give up that ghost before it gives up me
I wander loaded as a crowd - a nowhere wolf of pain
Living next to nothing - my nevermind remains
I'm gonna breakdown ...

I thought you were so innocent
Until I got my fingers burnt
You think me strange and quite peculiar
Let the first appearance fool ya
Even though you're not my mum
I've got to get my washing done
Who calls the tune must pay the piper
Fix the plug and catch the spider

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true

I love someone who looks like you
The way you do but isn't you
It's still the same sad sordid story
Suffering sinner slave to glory
Now you say you want someone new
I knew you do you left a clue
The vows of love that you've recanted
Say you're taking me for granted

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true

Innocent Innocent

[Solo]

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true

Innocent Innocent

Something hesitated in the sky
When I found you
Something emanated from your eyes
My dream came true

Something hesitated in your eyes
When I found you
Something emanated from the sky
My dream came true

Will I be the last to know
I've got this little question for ya
Will I be the last to know
Or is this just my paranoia
Will I be the last to know

I came into your room while you were sleeping
And tip-toed to the bottom of your bed
I held my breath so I could hear you breathing
Love's such a sweet thing

Will I be the last to know
I've got this little question for ya
Will I be the last to know
Or is this just my paranoia
Will I be the last to know

I want to give myself to you completely
I love you more than truth could ever tell
Please promise not to mistreat me or beat me
Just treat me sweetly

Will I be the last to know
I've got this little question for ya
Will I be the last to know
Or is this just my paranoia

What will I discover
Will you turn on me and say
You didn't mean to be unkind
You haven't changed your mind
You've never loved me anyway

[Solo]

Here in suburbia
There's nothing left to see
Just want to spend my time running free

I've had enough of the day job
I can see farther than that
Just want to spend my time running free

The air of tension still is rising higher
Screaming emotions are singing to you
(No no no time no no no time)
(No no no time no no no time)

Here in the engine room
A pulse shouts for a word
Just want to spend my time running free

I'll pull out condition
There's no need to face facts
Just want to spend my time running free

You better make a move before sleeping gets you
You better shape soon before the weak things make you
(No no no time no no no time)
(No no no time no no no time)

Here in proles' paradise
Experiments on the weak
Just want to spend my time running free

It's a trick of the torment
You tend to forget yourself
Just want to spend my time running free

Your conscience may be changed as the plan gets harder
It's just been rearranged to keep the strata
(No no no time no no no time)
(No no no time no no no time)

Your conscience may be changed as the plan gets harder
It's just been rearranged to keep the strata

Well it seems so real I can see it
And it seems so real I can feel it
And it seems so real I can taste it
And it seems so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

Then it looks so real I can see it
And it feels so real I can feel it
And it tastes so real I can taste it
And it sounds so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

Then it looks so real I can feel it
And it feels so real I can taste it
And it tastes so real I can hear it
And it sounds so real I can see it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

Now it is so real I can see it
And it is so real I can feel it
And it is so real I can hear it
And it is so real I can be it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

I'm living my life in a separate way
Looking for something from day to day
There is a searchlight in my heart
There's an empty space where nothing grows
There is no life for the rose
Only a shadow in my heart

I'm living in a world of isolation
I'm living in a world of isolation

Well I've watched the waves come and go
And I can never escape from what I know
There is but water on my heart
But I see you in a special way
It's a sensation on what it says
Because we are living world's apart

I'm living in a world of isolation
I'm living in a world of isolation

[Solo]

I'm living in a world of isolation
I'm living in a world of isolation

Isolation, oh yeah
Isolation, yeah
Iso -

Living my life in a seperate way
Living on my own from day to day
Under two nations
In isolation
Oh yeah, living under two nations
In isolation
Oh yeah, living under two nations
In isolation

Yeah - well - I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
Because I never get around to things
I live a straight - straight line

You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom

I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
I'm the man that's waiting for the phone to ring
Hear it ring-a-ding-a-fucking-ding

You know me ...

You see there's nothing behind me
I'm already a has-been
because my future ain't what it was
well I think I know the words that I mean

You know me ...

B'dum - b'dum

I've taken this extravagant journey
so it seems to me
I just came from nowhere
and I'm going straight back there

You know me ...

So I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
so tell me who are you trying to arouse?
get your hands out of my trousers

You know me ...

Here again playing the lonely game
Blind as a fool who won't see
Suddenly taking control again
What could be happening to me
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
My source of inspiration
You don't get far when you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

Hestitate is there no end to it
So tired of living a lie
Time won't wait too late to start again
Wander while wondering why
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
Perverse sophistication
You won't get far if you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

[Solo]

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes

My source of inspiration
You don't get far if you're going nowhere

It's not infatuation
To hope that you're the one to care
My final consolation
You won't get far you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

In these times of contention it's not my intention to make things plain
I'm looking through mirrors to catch the reflection that can't be mine
I'm losing control now I'll just have to slow down a thought or two
I can't feel the future and I'm not even certain that there is a past

I believe in the worker's revolution
And I believe in the final solution
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the shape of things to come
And I believe in I'm not the only one
Yes I believe in
I believe in

When I poison my system I take thoughts and twist them into shapes
I'm reaching my nadir and I haven't an idea of what to do
I'm painting by numbers but can't find the colours that fill you in
I'm not even knowing if I'm coming or going if to end or begin

I believe in the immaculate conception
And I believe in the resurrection
And I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the elixir of youth
And I believe in the absolute truth
Yes I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

I've fallen from favour while trying to savour experience
I'm seeing things clearly but it has quite nearly blown my mind
It's the aim of existence to offer resistance to the flow of time
Everything is and that is why it is will be the line

I believe in perpetual motion
And I believe in perfect devotion
I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the things I've never had
I believe in my Mum and my Dad
And I believe in
I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

I'm skippin' the pages of a book that takes ages for the foreword to end
Triangular cover concealing another aspect from view
My relative motion is just an illusion from stopping too fast
The essence of being these feelings I'm feeling I just want them to last

I believe in original sin
And I believe what I believe in
Yes I believe in
I believe in
I believe in the web of fate
And I believe I'm going to be late
So I'll be leavin'
What I believe in

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more
There is no love in this world any more

No matter what I try is no good for you
Everything that I say, everything that I do
It's crystal clear now that we're going nowhere
And that once was a dream has become this nightmare
Wish I never loved you but I just can't let go

Now I know how it feels to have loved and lost
Because of pride
To be deserted so that hurt is all that's left inside
I'm ashamed I've been blamed so much I wanted to die
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why
Wish I never loved you but I just can't let go

What makes me think I mean nothing to you?
Everything that you say, everything that you do
All you excuses, the lies you invent
Provide more than a little discouragement
Wish I never loved you but I just can't let go

Now I know how it fells to have loved and lost
Because of pride
To be deserted so that hurt is all that's left inside
I'm ashamed I've been blamed so much I wanted to die
Tell me why, tell me why, tell me why, tell me why

The lights are so bright all the things you wanted
Set within your sights you sell your soul tonight
And in the morning there's something not quite right
Sell you everything
Sell me everything

And every Friday night you've spent all your money
It's turned daylight well if it's wrong or right
Some things are funny under the street light
Sell you everything
Sell me everything

Yeah the lights are so bright
And all the things you wanted
Set within you sights
Sell you everything
Sell me everything

Been contemplating lately what you mean to me
You are the one I care about, the only one I love
And though we may be separated by the sea
It's still just you I'm dreaming of you must believe me
Para siempre means forever
And I intend to keep that promise, you know

I have this dream of yearning burning in my heart
Of how goos things still would be if we made a brand new start
Seven empty days fill weeks tough months become years
But I still cherish memories of romantic beers
And so I'll tell you something you already know
Para siempre means forever
I still intend to keep that promise, you know

What I want is reconciliation
This separation's more than I can bear
Don't wanna be alone, my love is guaranteed
I want to know that you still care
And so I'll tell you something you already know
Para siempre means forever
I still intend to keep that promise, you know

No need to be alone
Your love is all I need
Just say the word and I'll be there

I wonder if you'll notice
Exactly how I feel
Maybe if we could spend more time together
Then you'd discover what I try hard to conceal

But you don't know what I'm talking about

I kinda get so excited
And I break into a sweat
I wish that I could stage the perfect encounter
That I just hope to god I won't live to regret

But you don't know what I'm talking about
Cos to you, I just don't exist

But you don't know what I'm talking about
Cos to you, I just don't exist
But you don't know what I'm talking about
Cos to you, well, I just don't exist

But you don't know what I'm talking about

I'm a soul survivor and I live in a world of tack
Whatever they say it just rolls right across my back

Clinging wreckage I was alive
When the car crashed
Swam out the water before
My life started sinking fast

Well they messed with my mind
Tried to brainwash what I had
Somethings they can't find
So I guess that's not so bad

Yeah I'm counting the hours
You're a long time living dead
And yesterday's flowers will be placed
Upon your head

So come on come on come on come on
Let's roll through rings of fire
So come on come on come on come on
Let's light this flames desire
Let's light this flaming fire
Soul survivor

Paradise is a platinum card
Behind the wheel of your car
With your new pair of trainers
Designer clothes
Go on, I'll have seven of those
And go to ski where it snows
Its bounty sustains us

Credit
In love with the never never
Wish I could get something I really need

Videophones
With all the latest ringtones
You buy-to-let your new home
Don't care what you're spending
Then just like that
Reminders under the mat
Of your flat full of tat
The pile of debts never ending

Credit
In love with the never never
Wish I could get something I really need

Standing around staring into space
Trying to see what's going on inside you
Shouts from the crowd well that's just not allowed
Take a look at what they made you do
When you're looking at a line of blue

Where did you go what did you know
What happened when the wind blew through
And the thoughts you receive make you what you believe
Then you're hanging onto everything you knew

Big brother wheels
Gonna stamp it out of you in time
Gonna make you jump and walk the line

With your mind on the blink hands tied to the sink
All you think is double think double think

Big brother wheels
Gonna stamp it out of you in time
Gonna make you jump and walk the line

Jack boot stamps all over you face
Jack boot stamps all over the place

Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Try as hard as I can I just can't get you out of my mind
Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Will my dreams come true or am I simply wasting my time?

Well, I told you that I'm sorry, didn't mean to make you cry
But look at it from my point of view
It's the little things in life on which our happiness depends
And what's the use if any in trying to survive
All the problems that the world can provide
If at the end of all it we haven't got the time to be friends?

Well, I get this funny feeling that just won't stay away
You know it drives me almost out of my mind
It seems that life's too short to carry on the way that we do
Too much discrimination is keeping us apart
And I don't think I can take any more
I only hope and pray I can find a way to say "I love you"

Oh wouldn't it be great if we could be in that state forever
Just a moment with you in the next year or two or whenever
Let's make history together

Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Try as hard as I can I just can't get you out of my mind
Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Will my dreams come true or am I simply wasting my time?
Try as hard as I can I just can't get you out of my mind

Heading for bad weather
Hard rain is gonna come
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun

You might think you're clever
This thing will strike you dumb
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun

You can live forever
Just like everyone
Everybody shakes to the sound of a gun

Bullets flying everywhere
What they hit they don't care
A sonic sound is in the air

This time it's now or never
Like a rabbit on the run
We could live together
The time has got to come
Everybody shakes
To the sound of a gun

Don't go acting all innocent
It suits you all too much
I know the messages we've sent
Have helped us get in touch
There was a time you showed me the pictures
Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
But now let's skip to the future
Look at you now

Don't want you making no big mistake
Especially when it's dark
Not to mention the risk you take
While drinking in the park
There was a time you showed me the pictures
Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
But now let's skip to the future
Look at you now

The triumph of hope over experience
My faith has been restored
An uncommon sense of commonsense
Sure is its own reward
There was a time you showed me the pictures
Butter wouldn't melt in your mouth
But now let's skip to the future
Look at you now
Don't go acting all innocent
Look at you now

This time I've made up my mind I've had enough
What a complete waste of time I've had enough

Each morning I wake to discover that nothing's changed
The love I wished for don't exist
If it's not one thing it's another - can't carry on
But I feel powerless to resist

Friends don't know what I go through I've had enough
Now see what you've made me do I've had enough

Been trapped in this state of denial for far too long
The love I've aimed for has been missed
But this time I'm serious, it's final
It would be wrong, don't wanna be a masochist

And I wish that there could be another way
But I can't believe a single word you say, anyway

Not gonna take any more I've had enough
Just what did you take me for? I've had enough

Each morning I wake and discover you're still the same
The love I crave for won't exist
It's neither one thing nor another - I won't go on
I hope I'll find strength to resist

Yes, it's the end of the line I've had enough

They say the best things in life are free
But now I'm not so sure
Something has crawled right in my mind
And opened up the door
Now and then it seems so strange
It leaves you insecure
And everything you thought you knew
Is different from before
Something stuck in my mind between heaven and hell

You might think that what you see
Is all there is for sure
But if you look behind your eyes
You'll see there's so much more
Darkness blanks your train of thought
And sticks in your mind's eye
You've got your feet still on the ground
But your head is in the sky
Something stuck in my mind between heaven and hell

Where things come from no one knows
What it does or where it goes
Sometimes life you just can't see

Well it seems so real I can see it
And it seems so real I can feel it
And it seems so real I can taste it
And it seems so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

But then it looks so real I can see it
And it feels so real I can feel it
And it tastes so real I can taste it
And it sounds so real I can hear it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

Then it looks so real I can feel it
And it feels so real I can taste it
And it tastes so real I can hear it
And it sounds so real I can see it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?

Now it is so real I can see it
And it is so real I can feel it
And it is so real I can hear it
And it is so real I can be it
So why can't I touch it?
So why can't I touch it?
