Everything, everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

There are two colours in my head
There are two colours in my head
What is that you try to say?
What was that you tried to say?
Tried to say.. tried to say..
To say.. to say.. to say...

Everything, everything, everything..
Everything in its right place

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

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

I don't wanna a be
krippled kracked
shoulders wrists knees and back
ground to dust and ash
crawling on all fours
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
Now i can't climb the stairs
pieces missing everywhere
prozak painkillersss
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
and i used to fly like Peter Pan
all the children flew
when itouched their hands
when you've got to feel it
in your bones
when you've got to feel it
in your bones

They love me like I was a brother
They protect me listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine
made me happy
Nice dream
nice dream Nice dream

I call up my friend
the good angel
But she's out
with her answerphone
She says that she would
love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all
Nice dream nice dream
Nice dream nice dream
Nice dream nice dream Nice dream
If you think
that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough
If you think
that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough

Nice dream nice dream
Nice dream nice dream

Cant get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts
you do it to yourself just you
you and no one else
you do it to yourself
you do it to yourself
Don't get my sympathy
hanging out the 15th floor
you've changed the locks 3 times
he still comes reeling
through the door
and soon he'll get to you
teach you how to get to
puresthell
You do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts
you do it to yourself just you
you and no one else
you do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

You do it to yourself

You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself

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

you bite through
the big wall bites back
you sit there and sulk
sit there and bawl
you are so pretty
when youre on your knees
disinfected
eager to please

sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've already gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

each time it comes
it eats me alive
i try to behave
but it eats me alive
so i declare
a holiday
fall asleep
to leave to moon
sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've already gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've already gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

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

If I get old
I will not give in
But if I do
Remind me of this

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

And if I sat down
And crossed my arms
Hold me until
This song

Knock me out
Smash out my brains
If I take a chair
Start to talk shit

If I get old
Remind me of this
That night we kissed
And I really meant it

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

go.
Disjointed we scare ourselves with all that we wanna be.
Just got paid and now you're going, how long should you be?
If I get scared, I just call you.
And I, miss your glow as I unsettle,
Oh I'll always feel, I'll always be.
right.

One, two, three, four.

So sell your skin tie, and come and live with me.
Leukemia, schizophrenia, polyethylene.
There is no significant risk to your health.
She used to be beautiful once as well.

Plastic bag, middle class, polyethylene.
Decaffeinate, unleaded, keep all surfaces clean.
If you don't believe in it, sell your soul.
If you don't get into it, no one will.
Oh...... Oh........
