I'm burning out the TV tubes, It's three o'clock & I'm confused Cause commitment is so complete, It's burning little holes in me I know that I might look a mess, And she's so perfect in that Oxfam dress She looks just like a beauty queen, Shinning out in velveteen I'm delirious You make it better You make the weather seem OK You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away I love it when she comes around, She's a firework that never ends A micro chip inside my brain, I'm crawling on my knees again It scares me the way I am, I'm buried in a sea of sand Lying on a hand grenade, Waiting for the world to shake I'm delirious You make it better You make the weather seem OK You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away You make it better You just take the pain away Delirious, I'm so delirious, delirious, You make it better You make the weather seem OK You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away You make it better You make the weather seem OK You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away You make it better You make the weather seem OK You're my anaesthetic You just take the pain away

Left out in the sun to dry again, Washed up on a shore line south of Spain Gazing up with telescopic eyes, Planetary life above the skies Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession) Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon Drifting on a boat in emerald seas, Pulling on the strings inside of me Tasting salt as waves dive over me, Twisting on a rope of memories Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth Here she comes
If you could only see, That I'm sinking like a stone The sea is getting colder, Every second as I go It's like breathing underwater, But I just can't let you go My obsession, she's my obsession, my obsession Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession) Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth Here she comes, lifting me up to the moonOh my God, Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth Here she comes, lifting me up to the moonOh my God, Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth Here she comes,
Sitting in today watching traffic buzzing by and faces closing in A victim of regret it glitters and it fadesaway like silver turning grey Washed it all away waiting for this dreamto end before it sucks me in I'm climbing high up above the streets and rows of neon lights I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday
Crashing on the ground the silence seems to suffocate and bury me again Waiting for a taste of happiness to lift me free and carry me away I'm climbing high up above the streets and rows of neon lights I know it's just a dream but I'm alive Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday I'm still missing yesterday
Lost another week feeling like a leper in a world of vanity It's killing me today addiction pulls you down, you know And she's the drug I need Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday Wish I could show you Wish you could see through my eyes Tomorrow shines through But I'm missing yesterday
Office blocks, corner shops, traffic jams on every street, The same old rush around Obsolete, I'm a freak, In a show on Brighton beach, As the snow comes down Reality's kicking me, Knocking me right off my feet, As the sky spins round We're waiting for changes Rejected and dented We're waiting for changes The lights green but today's red Laundry stops, by the lock, On a Sunday afternoon, With all that fuss Cantelowes skateboard shows, tennants Extra by a row Of recycle bins We're waiting for changes Different perspectives We're waiting for changes The lights green but today's red We're waiting for changes Different perspectives We're waiting for changes The lights green but today's red
Take a ride to Charing Cross, Join the masses as they shop, Their lives away 29's the northern line, Heading back to lose our minds, To break the chain We're waiting for changes Rejected and dented We're waiting for changes The lights green but today's red We're waiting for changes Different perspectives We're waiting for changes The lights green but today's red I'm waiting for changes I'm waiting for changes I'm waiting for changes
Waking each day, No money no pay Living in a box alone with his pain Kissing the rain that's pouring again Blaming the system from where we came Trapped inside a fish eye lens Trying to get out cause it won't change Money doesn't mean that much to him But maybe another bottle of gin Here comes that radio man He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah Here comes that Radioman Tune in you might hear him Radioman Living in the same old shoes With every step the world comes through Like a river that flows on down Dragging him under to the sand He rises up to another day The people laugh, but they don't stay They try to hide their guilt away With a smile that says that its okay Here comes the radio man He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah Here comes the Radioman Tune in you might hear him Radioman, the radioman Somebody somebody hear me Lift off and take me away Here comes the radioman he smiles but no one sees him Here comes that radioman Tune in you might hear him Radioman, the radioman, radioman the radioman, radioman
We queuing up the tills, Wishing for our lives to change Just a piece of something new, A taste would keep us sane Hypocrisy in every day, Drills a hole deep in our brains Searching for a little hope, A rainbow when it rains Sitting on an empty bench, Got these nails dug in my skin Like a leopard with his kill, We're going under, slipping in Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover Day in Day Out Stepping on a treadmill wheel, You must know how that can feel Blows a fuse inside our minds, Watch the data as it wipes Taste the bullshit on a plate, We just piss our lives away Get the hell out while you can, We going under, sinking in We're going under, slipping in Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover Day in Day Out We're going down, yes we're going down, we're going down∼. Taste a new amphetamine, Alcohol has sucked us in Introverted in our ways, Trapped inside this plastic skin Now its rears it's ugly self, Feeds us full of selfish doubt We've got to keep ourselves afloat, Going under, get me out Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover Day in Day Out Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover Day in Day Out.
Falling down, reaching out, For someone to come down Oblivious to all of us, The child that grows inside Seventeen without a care, She's taking another ride A sense of peace she's waving back, To faces carved in stone Tinsel town, here in tinsel town, It's pulled you down Life in tinsel town,
Overthrown, Relinquished all Life breeds all around, A fun fair trip a carousel She's trying to hang on, Here in Tinsel town Life in tinsel town, It's pulled you down Stuck in tinsel town, I think she might make it She has the will to go on, She's turning back pages as the world steps on Here in tinsel town, Life in tinsel town Its pulled you down, Stuck in tinsel town Alone, Alone, Alone, So Alone, Here in Tinsel town Life in tinsel town.
The words we say, Old flowers fade away Remember yesterday, Wish it would bloom again Apathy and pain, Here comes the Autumn rain Old apologies scattered in the wings of fate Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change We can't keep painting colours when its Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed A thousand tears won't wash it clean Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself Evergreen, Evergreen Down on my knees, Crawling though the streets again Surrendered to my needs, So I can breathe the air You're my evergreen, Regents Park in spring It takes me to a place, Where I can dream again Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change We can't keep painting colours when it rains
I just want some place where I can breathe without this bitter taste Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change We can't keep painting colours when it's grey It all looks black and white today You're my evergreen, Regents Park in spring It takes me to a place, Where I can dream again Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change We can't keep painting colours when it rains Evergreen, Evergreen, Evergreen
Trying hard to face another day No more left to give, nothing left to bring Melting in the sun, breathing in the day Falling into love, and climbing out again There's nowhere left to run No more tears to cry The river's running dry There's no more left to give Love has left me dry Reaching out beneath the sea of pain Riding high on waves of hope again Chipping as the storm face cracks away Crying out again as my bones break There's nowhere left to run No more tears to cry The river's running dry There's no more left to give Love has left me dry Yeah... Oooh... (Love has left me dry) What if every minute like a year? What if we could save ourselves from this? Life is such a bitch and it gets worse Fading like a rope around your neck There's nowhere left to run No more tears to cry The river's running dry There's no more left to give Love has left me dry Oooh... (Love has left me dry) Love has left me dry Oooh... The river's running dry again...
Remember yesterday Driving down the M4 The sun lit up your face Playing all the tunes Feeling like a child again The dream has been erased I feel much better anyhow Until I see that black cloud I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps looking in Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in Stop looking in Hiding out away Keeping your mind inside a box Where knowone else can take Smiling all the way Holding back a thousand lies But that was yesterday I love it when she comes around Until I see that black cloud I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps looking in Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in Got a hole in my head Got this song in my head Waiting for the sun to come around Take another smoke I thought you said you'd given up And does you're mother know Take another rest Holding out my hand again I hope that we're still friends (I gotta, I gotta, I gotta...) I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps looking in Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in I got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps looking in Got a hole in my head And it's making me sad Got a hole and the world keeps crashing in

Staring at Paper faces, Expressions like empty pages, Day after day Waiting for the lights to change now,, Reaching for a cloud to come down, And cover me Can't shut you out Can't get you out Can't take you down Can't watch you drown Waiting for the world to change, Dissolution takes a bit off, And swallows me Looking for a way to get out, Wishing that the rush would come down And smother me Can't shut you out Can't get you out Can't take you down Can't watch you drown If you can learn to be yourself, Then that's okay If you can find a reason now, Don't drift away Walking down streets to nowhere, Stepping on feet with no cares, Losing my self Can't shut you out Can't get you out Can't take you down Can't watch you drownCan't shut you out Can't get you out Can't take you down Can't watch you drown Slide away, slide away
Guess I'm stuck in a dream Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground As I stare at the trees I see one fall down on my hand As I start to explore I can't ignore a man He turns his head around His face was all worn by the sun I'm going out for a while So I can get high with my friends I will I'm going out for a while Don't wait up cos I won't be home Today
Drifting down a road Losing myself in a dream Feel my hands getting cold Sat in a boat on a lake I'm going out for a while So I can get high with my friends I will I'm going out for a while Don't wait up cos I won't be home Today Climbing up trying my best As I sink Lying back on the floor Reaching up high into space See myself in a glass I'm counting the lines on my face Again Counting the lines on my face I'm going out for a while So I can get high with my friends I will I'm going out for a while Don't wait up cos I won't be home Today I'm going out for a while So I can get high with my friends Today I'm going out for a while Don't wait up cos I won't be home Today

Sitting on a corner street Children playing at my feet See the smiles on ice cream faces Feel myself begin to sink As the wind blows through my skin Leaves me open to temptation Cause nothing ever lasts forever We're like flowers in this vase, together You and me, it's pulling me down Tearing my down, piece by piece And you can't see That's it's like a disease Killing me now, it's so hard to breathe Sucking back a cigarette Thinking about new regrets Trying to be someone you'd like to be Passing faces on the road Where the hell can we still go? Leaves us open to temptation Cause nothing ever lasts forever We're like flowers in this vase, together You and me, it's pulling me down Tearing my down, piece by piece And you can't see That's it's like a disease Killing me now, it's so hard to breathe It's so hard to breathe But it's worth fighting for It's still worth fighting for It's worth fighting for Cause nothing ever lasts forever We're like flowers in this vase, together You and me, it's pulling me down Tearing my down, piece by piece And you can't see That's it's like a disease It's killing me now, it's so hard to breathe You and me, it's pulling me down Tearing me down, piece by piece And you can't see, that it's like a disease It's killing me now, it's so hard to breathe
I've got a friend, her name is Laura We took a holiday, seven sweet days in Majorca We took a plane, through to southern Spain To see the ocean wave's blue We sat and watched the moon As crickets sung back cover tunes Way back in May Seven days in the sun yeah She's my heaven She's a spark Feels like heaven So light me up
She's got this friend, his name is Paula He likes to cross dress every friday night in clothes from Prada We took a train, left behind the rain To see the summer sunset glow But now she's not around I'm hanging on with broken hands Way for the clouds Seven days in the sun Seven days in the sun sun She's my heaven She's a spark Feels like heaven So light me up You really light me up You really Staring through the crowd It's pulling me underground And who's gonna dig me out?
We used to take a walk on velvet sands across the beach We used to build a fire, and stare into the rising heat You used to set me free, lift me from the concrete sea Seven days in the sun She's my heaven She's a spark Feels like heaven So light me up You really light me up You blow my mind
You're just a face in the crowd A tiny hole in the cloud You're trying to find your way in To let your soul shine back out We're just a twist in a seam A splash of paint on a screen We're making all kinds of shapes Somehow we can straighten out the bends This is our time, we can't rewind Our place to shine out, we can live it anyway This is our time, to feel sublime Our place to shine now, and we can do it anyway We can't rewind Do you think we can change? A different color and shade I guess a new kind of thing Somehow we can straighten out the bends This is our time, we can't rewind Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway This is our time, to feel sublime A place to shine now, we can do it anyway Oh yes, we can do it our way then Stop taking me for a fool now Yeah, I've got this feeling inside me But I guess you knew We can work it out We can find some place new We can't rewind We can't rewind You're just a face in the crowd A tiny hole in a cloud
This is our time, we can't rewind Our place to shine out, and we can live it anyway This is our time, to feel sublime A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway This is our time, we can't rewind Our place to shine out, we can do it anyway This is our time, to feel sublime A place to shine now, and we can do it anyway
