I'm sick of this England's shit
It's slashing down, we are drowned
Star is here drinking beer
Star is scrawled on my wall

CID, they follow me
I kidnap Star in my car
A TVR, we'll drive to Prague
And stop at Mars and we'll be

Taking Star to L.A.
We'll drive to Vegas for the day
We want to sit in the sun
And take it easy, take it easy

Mum's got cake, belly ache
Feeling sick through Kuwait
Stole a tank, drove to France
Star's amazed, in a trance

M53 hit a tree
Crashed my car, I killed Star
Stowaway on a ship
Dodge the pigs, what a trip

Taking Star to L.A.
We'll drive to Vegas for the day
We want to sit in the sun
And take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, take it easy
Take it easy, take it easy

On top of the hour (compulsive my behaviour)
I see my life through Sky News (keeping things in order)
Keep on watching things unfolding on my wide-screen set
Can't contain myself
I'm going pay-per-view

Think I'll explode (in the corner of my room)
If I do too much gak (sits my one big eyeball)
It's with the advent of this pay-per-view
Can't control myself

I scratch my knee
I have to scratch the other
Documentaries are the best

Thru' my T.V., through my T.V.
All my problems come
Thru' my T.V., through my T.V.
All my problems come

I study quite hard (in the corner of my room)
When I should be in bed (sits my one big eyeball)
I'm in the Open University
Constant imprint of the test card on my eyes
I think I should rest (compulsive my behaviour)
Sleep on one side and the other (keeping things in order)
Always searching for the Abilene
Can't control myself

My Book of Mormon
Wrapped in turin
And it seems inferior and jittery
You preach elastic
To your jagged flock
In an eerie passion for self-flattery.

I'm emotionally raped by Jesus
But I'm still here,
Somehow I'm still here

What now of my faith
Just a desperate exercise to limit pain
I am weak
I'm emotional and sensitve and frail
In need of some love
Pull the cancer from the Vatican's
Own state
Uninformed, you will harbour those
Who nurtured Europe's war

Keep turning my cheek
In a fragile state of violence left me weak
No guilt, hold your people in disdain
And steal their grace

I need replacement
To feel redefined
And it's just this matter of identity

Emotionally I'm wrapped in shame
Emotionally I feel I'm raped

My migraine makes me ill
My electricity is low
My laceration soothes itself
My chemicals flow
And I'm boosting what I take
Just like the Germans, getting off
On herbal vacuum - pumps of blow
It shows all I know

And I drop and I drop
And my body levels drop
And my nerves clogging up
Sucking all the substance up

With this method that I have found
I'm redressing all I know
I can change the amount of God
That wraps around me
From a satellite they fire
Serotonin from eight miles
Above Deeside in binary
It orbits my street

(Redux, redux, redux, redux
Redux, redux, redux, redux
Redux, redux, redux, redux)
My chemist is the only friend that I've got

Shop at Kwik Save and you make a good saving
Difference in prices is truly
amazing
Chips from the freezer come in very big portions
Down our end you
get fantastic reductions
BRIDGE
You're a cheeky sod
You've changed
the odds
Well if that's what you want
VERSE 2
Get your op, you'll be
shopping in Sainsbury's
Look so good all the people won't phase you
They'll
all be looking at you spending a fortune
Like the second coming with a much
better hairdo
BRIDGE
You're a cheeky sod
You've changed the odds
Well if that's what
you want
CHORUS
Kiss me, hit me, do what you want to me
Kiss me, lick
me, do what you want to me now
'Cos I'll be leaving soon
VERSE 3
Look in
the mirror and you see you are perfect
Pity 'bout the scar that is hidden
below deck
Just like new 'cos your change is so drastic
Stay in the shade
'cos you're just made of plastic
BRIDGE
You're a cheeky sod
You've
changed the odds
Well if that's what you want
CHORUS
Kiss me, hit me, do
what you want to me
Kiss me, lick me, do what you want to me now
I'll be
leaving soon
Kiss me, hit me, do what you want to me
Kiss me, lick me, do
what you want to me now
I'll be leaving soon
FILL
Don't look twice
'Cos you've got different eyes
Than the ones that were
fine
That you could see though
Don't look twice
'Cos you've got
different thighs
Than the ones that were fine
That you could sit through
CHORUS
Kiss me, hit me, do what you want to me
Kiss me, lick me, do what
you want to me now
I'll

Anti everything (live in richard rogers' doorways)
I care nothing (lives at the bottom of your strung-out conscience)
Except mescalin (take the day off, it's cheap for cider)
I pay for sex in sleeping bags

I smell you on me
Phased out of your life
You're no different from me

I tell you anti-everything (love him and hate him both at the same time)
I care nothing (lives at the bottom of your strung-out conscience)
Except mescalin (take the day off, it's cheap for cider)

Find a place where you can rest
Your sleepy head and won't get pissed with me
Find a place where you can rest
Your sleepy head and won't get pissed with me

If you feel transition to your other life
Don’t need money to be there
Leave behind your money just to prove your worth
Won’t be here so I don’t care

If you strap your conscience to your vision thing
Won’t be here so I don’t care
Prove your worth to people that you call your friends
Won’t be here so I don’t care

I wouldn’t care if I was washed up tomorrow
You see, reading novels is banned
by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary

Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

And life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

I’ve been drained, emotion is a bitter thing
Won’t be here so I don’t care
I concede relationships have left me weak
Won’t be here so I don’t care

Look for something worthy to replace my guilt
Won’t be here so I don’t care
Prove my worth to people who I call my friends
Won’t be here so I don’t care

I wouldn’t care if I was washed up tomorrow
You see, reading novels is banned
by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary

Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

And life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

Nobody cares when you’re gone, nobody cares when you're gone

I wouldn’t care if I was washed up tomorrow
You see, reading novels is banned
by the Marquis de Sade
All relationships are emptying and temporary

Life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

And life is wearing me thin
I feel so drained, my legacy
A sea of faces just like me

Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone (no)
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone (nobody)
Nobody cares when you’re gone
Nobody cares when you’re gone

Stop you're looking miserable
Can't be bothered to get up today
My futures looking positive
No one even picked on me today
So you tested negative
Panic in your bedsit goes away
You convert to scientology
To feel a part of something
Once again

비참한 척하는 건 그만둬
오늘은 귀찮게 일어날 필요 없어
내 미래는 긍정적으로 보여
오늘은 심지어는 아무도 날 괴롭히지 않았어
그래서 넌 부정적으로 되보기로 했지
잠자리에서의 공포는 사라져
넌 scientology*로 개종했지
어떤 것의 일부를 다시금 느껴보기 위해

I look downwards
Feeling negative, looking negative
I see downwards

난 나쁜 쪽으로만 바라봐
부정적으로 느끼며, 부정적으로 바라보며
난 나쁜 점만 봐

Have you ever told a lie to hide a lie
Shame on you, you compromised again
'Cos things are closing in on you
Not so far away as they may seem

거짓말한 것을 숨기기 위해 거짓말해본 적 있니
부끄럽지도 않아, 넌 또 타협해버렸어.
왜냐하면 세상이 너를 포위하고 육박해오니까
그것들은 보기보다 그렇게 멀리 있지 않아

Someone nudged me in the street
Someone looked at me twice
Now I'm negative
Someone nudged me in the street
Someone poke me in the eye
Now I'm negative

길거리에서 어떤 사람은 날 밀쳤어
어떤 사람은 날 두 번 쳐다봤어
자, 난 부정적이야
어떤 사람은 길거리에서 날 밀쳤어
어떤 사람은 날 매섭게 쳐다봤어
자, 난 부정적이야

She makes me bleed, oh yeah, she makes me cry
She makes me sneeze, oh yeah, she makes me sigh
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven, oh yeah
My only number must be, must be

Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
If he would bring her on down from heaven

She makes me bleed, oh yeah, don't know her name
She makes me freeze, oh yeah, she's in my face
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven, oh yeah
Bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
My only number must be, must be

So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
So bring her on down, bring her on down from heaven
My only number must be, must be

Bring her on down by the soles of her feet
Slapping her 'round and making her bleed
I vowed to my god I'd give it all up
Don't know her name, don't know what she's done

I'm in a wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring in to space
It's always quiet through my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

(Chorus)
I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizzare I cannot see

I'm on the top of a hill, I'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back at my house, for I care
They do not hear me, it's the same old case

I fully understand the shotgun in my pillow
Is no uncarved block at hand
Life is sweet but not it seems for Buddha
There's a shotgun in his hand

Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun

The nature of uncarved blocks
Is how to describe what's hard to describe
Yeah

The simplest things, the quietest
The child-like simplicity
Everything I need to hear
Positive the way I view
The simple of thought inherit the earth (shotgun blows)
Like Winnie the Pooh, confucianist rules (shotgun blows)
Oblivious in what I do (oh)
Deliberate the way I live (shotgun blows)

(Shotgun blows, shotgun blows, oh, shotgun blows)
(Shotgun blows, shotgun blows, oh, shotgun blows)

The nature of uncarved blocks
Is how to describe what's hard to describe
Vinegar taster says
The more force I apply, more trouble I make
(Is that I cannot describe why it is
Such a perfect illustration of the opposite and
Complex arrogance we display to protect one another)
Think too much, think too much
Think too much, think too much

I'm not getting sleep at night
My insomnia's a pain
Problems I create myself
I drag here from the day
Harsh words I keep them to myself
Hearing my problems serves to destroy
I'm a case for us all

Deserving what I get (I deserve what I get)
Deserving what I get

There's such joy in wasting time
An achievement not at all
My destructive side again
I'm please with what I've done

Feed this insect inside me
Watch my time drippin' off from the walls
This silence and stillness
Like a glove with the fingers withdrawn
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what I know

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building
Living in a body bag
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Resurrection of memory
All the thing I remember I hold
A virtual impression
Of a life that I'm building alone
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what I know

Wireless tells us all
Looks like there's a war
Both of us been through this before dear
Put on our gas masks and pray dear
But at least we've got each other

I'll still love you when the wind blows through
I've been through this before
I'll still love you when the wind
When the wind blows through

Outside all is cold
It looks like there's no war
But my hair's falling out at it's root dear
Things will blow over any day dear
And at least we've got each other

If I start this small debate the centre of the universe is up for sale
If my melody should fall, the tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words, I should
Standing in the lantern light,
Mavis looking sexy in her dress, it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do
If I feel God watching me, I control the actions of his destiny
If my sentiments ring true, feel him in the mirror laughing back at you
For me to tell you how it seems, I would
Standing in the lantern light,
Mavis looking sexy in her dress, it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I do
If I start this small debate the centre of the universe is gone for sale
So my melody should fall, the tune is unimportant as I said before
Or should I say it was the words, I should
Standing in the lantern light, (I should)
Mavis looking sexy in her dress, it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I do I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I miss you I can't see you, I love you, I do

My good intent,
Is something that turns visions into actions again,
Like my cravings,

My good intentions,
My list of lists tells me that merit leads to salvation,
That?s not how things are done really,
I don't think so.

I don't know if I'm dreaming I'm a bear,
Or that he's dreaming he's me

I will take you to a place you will remember all your life (if that's okay).

Faced with the choice of just false beliefs,
A way to come to terms with my irrelevance,
All that really matters is I'm happy,
Never mind (how I got here).

My good intentions heal my soul,
The future is something precious,
Precious.

I've lived by mountains,
I've looked at trees,
I took it for granted,
No concern to me,
When you stepped on your mother just to get at me,
Must get out of this city,
Has it dawned on me?

All desire zapped away from me,
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
All ambition was destroying my soul because

I wanted so much I lost it all.
I wanted too much and I lost it all.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
Because moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

Mother nature come to me,
I had a vision of the colour green,
I moved from the city and I tended the land,
Got out of this rat race and realised

All desire zapped away from me,
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
All ambition was destroying any soul because

I wanted so much I lost it all,
I wanted too much and I lost it all,
I wanted so much I lost it all,
because moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

And I want to live in the country and I want a view out to sea.
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
I need this city like a whole in the head because

I wanted so much I lost it all.
I wanted too much and I lost it all.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
?cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
?cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.
