Porl Thompson

Well we're a mile under the ground
And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no one knows and no one sees us
Because they're drinking their selves senseless

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit

Well I'm out in a car
And it's just full of stupid girls
And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snake pit

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks like Christmas
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks delirious
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you

Oh kiss me kiss me kiss me
Your tongue's like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth

Just just love me love me love me
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out

Just get it out
Get it out
Get it out
Get your fucking voice out of my head

I never wanted this
Never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I wish you were dead

You're such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You're such a strange girl
I really don't understand a word
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to shake you around and around
You're such a strange girl

I'd like
To turn you
All upside down
You're such a
Strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
I want
To be with you

I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in
I think I'm falling in love with you
With you

She walked out of her house
And looked around at all the gardens
That looked back at her house
Like all the faces that quiz when you smile

And he was standing at the corner
Where the road turned dark
A part of shiny wet
Like blood the rain fell black down on the street

And kissed his feet she fell
Her head an inch away from heaven
And her face pressed tight
And all around the night sang out like cockatoos

"There are a thousand things" he said
"I'll never say those things to you again"
And turning on his heel
He left a trace of bubbles bleeding in his stead

And in her head
A picture of a boy
Who left her lonely in the rain
And all around the night sang out like cockatoos

Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm howling inside
Tonight I'm feeling like an animal
Tonight I'm going wild

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm losing control
Tonight I'm screaming like an animal
Tonight I'm getting so low

And all I want
Is to be with you again
And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll
And all I want
Is to be with you again
With you again
Just to hold you like a doll

That's all I want
Just to hold you like a doll

Just to hold you like a doll
That's all I want

And all I want
Is to hold you like a doll

the first time i saw lightning strike
i saw it underground
six deep feet below the street
the sky came crashing down
for a second that place was lost in space
then everything went black
i left that basement burning
and i never went back

the second time i saw it strike
i saw it at sea
it lit up all the fish like rain
and rained them down on me
for a second that boat was still afloat
then everything went black
i left it underwater
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

the third time i saw lightning strike
it hit me in bed
it threw me around
and left me for dead
for a second that room was on the moon
then everything went black
i left that house on fire
and i never went back

hey hey hey!!!
but i like it when that lightning comes
hey hey hey!!!
yes ilike it a lot
hey hey hey!!!
yes i'm jumping like a jumping jack
dancing screaming itching squealing fevered
feeling hot hot hot!!!

You're just a waste of time
You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a fucking waste

You're like a slug on the floor
Oh you're useless and ugly and useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate

I want to smash you to pieces
I want to smash you up and screaming
I want to smash you helpless down on the floor
Smash you until you're not here anymore

Yeah I shiver and shake

I shiver and shake

If only tonight we could sleep
In a bed made of flowers
If only tonight we could fall
In a deathless spell
If only tonight we could slide
Into deep black water
And breathe
And breathe

Then an angel would come
With burning eyes like stars
And bury us deep
In his velvet arms

And the rain would cry
As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry
Don't let it end

Don't let it end

show me
show me
how you do that trick
the one that makes me scream
she said
the one that makes me laugh
she said
and threw her arms around my neck

show me how you do it
and i promise you
i promise that i'll run away with you
i'll run away with you

spinning on that dizzy edge
i kissed her face and kissed her head
and dreamed of all the different ways i had
to make her glow
why are you so far away?
she said
why won't you ever know that i'm in love with you?
that i'm in love with you?

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
strange as angels
dancing in the deepest oceans
twisting in the water
you're just like a dream...
you're just like a dream...

daylight licked me into shape
i must have been asleep for days
and moving lips to breathe her name
i opened up my eyes
and found myself alone
alone
alone
above a raging sea
that stole the only girl i loved
and drowned her deep inside of me

you
soft and only
you
lost and lonely
you
just like heaven

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks like Christmas
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you
Yes you
You the one that looks delirious
Come over here and kiss me kiss me

Hey you

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
For how much longer can I cry like this?

A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

You're delicious
Dreaming
Slack jawed
Green eyed
Rub my nose in icing sugar
Smooth as
When this cold and deadly blade
Kisses the fruit
So soft and gently breathing
Under your skin

Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be

As empty as a boy can be

And I'd love to touch the sky tonight
I'd love to touch the sky
So take me in your arms
And lift me like a child
And hold me up so high
And never let me go
Take me take me in your arms tonight

Hold me hold me up so high
And never let me down
Hold me hold me up so high
To touch the sky just one more time

Take me in your arms tonight
Take me in your arms just one more time

Just one more time

You want to know why I hate you
Well I'll try and explain
Remember that day in paris
When we wandered through the rain
And promised to each other
That we'll always think the same
And dreamed that dream to be two souls as one

And stopped just as the sun set
And waited for the night
Aside a gliterring building
Of glittering glass and burning light

And in the road before us
Stood a weary grayish man
He held a child upon his back
A small boy by the hand
The three of them were dressed in rags
And thinner than air
And all six eyes stared fixedly on you

The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She shimmers like a star!"
The child's eyes eyes said nothing
But a mute and utter joy
And filled my heart with shame for us
At the way we are

I turned to look at you
To read my thoughts upon your face
And gazed so deeply into your eyes
So beautiful and strange
Till you spoke and showed me understanding is a dream
"I hate these people staring
Make them go away from here"

The father's eyes said "Beautiful! How beautiful you are!"
The boy's eyes said "How beautiful! She glitters like a star!"
The child's eyes eyes said nothing
But a quiet and utter joy
And filled my heart with sadness
For the way we are

And this is why I hate you
And how I understand
That no one ever knows or loves another
Or loves another

Well we're a mile under the ground
And I'm thinking that it's Christmas
And I'm kissing you hard
Like I've got very important business
And no one knows and no one sees us
Because they're drinking their selves senseless

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snakepit

Well I'm out in a car
And it's just full of stupid girls
And I've forgotten how to speak
And I just can't remember a word
And my eyes feel like they're bursting
And they're splitting like plums

And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing
And I'm writhing in the snake pit

yeah i know who you remind me of
a girl i think i used to know
yeah i'd see her when the days got colder
on those days when it felt like snow

you know i even think that she stared like you
she used to just stand there and stare
and roll her eyes right up to heaven
and make like i just wasn't there

and she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling
again and again
and i used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name

and sometimes we would spend the night
just rolling about on the floor
and i remember even though it felt soft at the time
i always used to wake up sore...

you know i even think that she smiled like you
she used to just stand there and smile
and her eyes would go all sort of far away
and stay like that for quite a while

and i remember she used to fall down a lot
that girl was always falling
again and again
and i used to sometimes try to catch her
but never even caught her name

yes i sometimes even tried to catch her
but never even caught her name

I'm in the room without a light
The room without a view
I'm here for one more treacherous night
Another night with you

It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and pulls some more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back
I'm helpless
I'm helpless again
Oh I'm helpless again

My body is cut and broken
It's shattered and sore
My body is cut wide open
I can't stand anymore

It tortures me to move my hands
To try to move at all
And pulled my skin so tight it screams
And screams and screams and screams for more

Hanging like this
Like a vampire bat
Hanging like this
Hanging on your back

Oh it's torture
And I'm almost there
It's torture
But I'm almost there

It's torture

But I'm almost there

Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old

The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it seems like there's no one left
And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight 'til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never never never never never stop

Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember
You can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in

Never give in

You're so gorgeous
I'll do anything
I'll kiss you from your feet
To where your head begins
You're so perfect
You're so right as rain
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry again

Everything you do is irresistible
Everything you do is simply kissable
Why can't I be you?

I'll run around in circles
'Til I run out of breath
I'll eat you all up
Or I'll just hug you to death
You're so wonderful
Too good to be true
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply delicate
Everything you do is quite angelicate
Why can't I be you?

You turn my head when you turn around
You turn the whole world upside down
I'm smitten I'm bitten I'm hooked I'm cooked
I'm stuck like glue
You make me make me make me
Make me hungry for you

Everything you do is simply dreamy
Everything you do is quite delicious
So why can't I be you?

Why can't I be you?

You're simply elegant

Oh kiss me kiss me kiss me
Your tongue's like poison
So swollen it fills up my mouth

Just just love me love me love me
You nail me to the floor
And push my guts all inside out

Just get it out
Get it out
Get it out
Get your fucking voice out of my head

I never wanted this
Never wanted any of this
I wish you were dead
I wish you were dead

Oh I'll empty you
I'll empty you
As empty as a boy can be

As empty as a boy can be

You're such a strange girl
I think you come from another world
You're such a strange girl
I really don't understand a word
You're such a strange girl
I'd like to shake you around and around
You're such a strange girl

I'd like
To turn you
All upside down
You're such a
Strange girl
The way you look like you do
You're such a strange girl
I want
To be with you

I think I'm falling
I think I'm falling in
I think I'm falling in love with you
With you

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?
For how much longer can I cry like this?

A thousand wasted hours a day
Just to feel my heart for a second
A thousand hours just thrown away
Just to feel my heart for a second

For how much longer can I howl into this wind?

You're just a waste of time
You're just a babbling face
You're just three sick holes that run like sores
You're a fucking waste

You're like a slug on the floor
Oh you're useless and ugly and useless and ugly
And I shiver and shake
When I think of how you make me hate

I want to smash you to pieces
I want to smash you up and screaming
I want to smash you helpless down on the floor
Smash you until you're not here anymore

Yeah I shiver and shake

I shiver and shake

Sometimes there's nothing to feel
Sometimes there's nothing to hold
Sometimes there's no time to run away
Sometimes you just feel so old

The times it hurts when you cry
The times it hurts just to breathe
And then it seems like there's no one left
And all you want is to sleep

Fight fight fight
Just push it away
Fight fight fight
Just push it until it breaks
Fight fight fight
Don't cry at the pain
Fight fight fight
Or watch yourself burn again
Fight fight fight
Don't howl like a dog
Fight fight fight
Just fill up the sky
Fight fight fight
Fight 'til you drop
Fight fight fight
And never never never never never never stop

Fight fight fight

So when the hurting starts
And when the nightmares begin
Remember
You can fill up the sky
You don't have to give in
You don't have to give in

Never give in

"i think it's dark and it looks like rain"
you said
"and the wind is blowing like it's the end of the world"
you said
"and it's so cold
it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smiled
for a second

"i think i'm old and i'm feeling pain"
you said
"and it's all running out like it's the end of the world"
you said
"and it's so cold it's like the cold if you were dead"
and then you smiled
for a second

sometimes you make me feel
like i'm living at the edge of the world
like i'm living at the edge of the world
"it's just the way i smile"
you said

i've been looking so long at these pictures of you
that i almost believe that they're real
i've been living so long with my pictures of you
that i almost believe that the pictures are
all i can feel

remembering
you standing quiet in the rain
as i ran to your heart to be near
and we kissed as the sky fell in
holding you close
how i always held close in your fear
remembering
you running soft through the night
you were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
and screamed at the make-believe
screamed at the sky
and you finally found all your courage
to let it all go

remembering
you fallen into my arms
crying for the death of your heart
you were stone white
so delicate
lost in the cold
you were always so lost in the dark
remembering
you how you used to be
slow drowned
you were angels
so much more than everything
hold for the last time then slip away quietly
open my eyes
but i never see anything

if only i'd thought of the right words
i could have held on to your heart
if only i'd thought of the right words
i wouldn't be breaking apart
all my pictures of you

looking so long at these pictures of you
but i never hold on to your heart
looking so long for the words to be true
but always just breaking apart
my pictures of you

there was nothing in the world
that i ever wanted more
than to feel you deep in my heart
there was nothing in the world
that i ever wanted more
than to never feel the breaking apart
all my pictures of you

i'm running out of time
i'm out of step and
closing down and
never sleep for wanting hours
the empty hours of greed
and uselessly
always the need
to feel again the real belief
of something more than mockery
if only i could
fill my heart with love

whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am home again
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am whole again

whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am young again
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am fun again

however far away
i will always love you
however long i stay
i will always love you
whatever words i say
i will always love you
i will always love you

whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am free again
whenever i'm alone with you
you make me feel like i am clean again

however far away
i will always love you
however long i stay
i will always love you
whatever words i say
i will always love you
i will always love you

i'm so glad you came
i'm so glad you remembered
to see how we're ending
our last dance together
expectant
too puctual
but prettier than ever
i really believe that this time it's forever

but older than me now
more constant
more real
and the fur and the mouth and the innocence
turned to hair and contentment
that hangs in abasement
a woman now standing where once
there was only a girl

i'm so glad you came
i'm so glad you remembered
the walking through walls in the heart of december
the blindness of happiness
of falling down laughing
and i really believed that this time was forever

but christmas falls late now
flatter and colder
and never as bright as when we used to fall
all this in an instant
before i can kiss you
a woman now standing where once
there was only a girl

i'm so glad you came
i'm so glad you remembered
to see how we're ending
our last dance together
reluctantly
cautiously
but prettier than ever
i really believe that this time it's forever

but christmas falls late now
flatter and colder
and never as bright as when we used to fall
and even if we drink
i don't think we would kiss in the way that we did
when the woman
was only a girl

on candystripe legs the spiderman comes
softly through the shadow of the evening sun
stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead
looking for the victim shivering in bed
searching out fear in the gathering gloom and
suddenly!
a movement in the corner of the room!
and there is nothing i can do
when i realise with fright
that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight!

quietly he laughs and shaking his head
creeps closer now
closer to the foot of the bed
and softer than shadow and quicker than flies
his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes
"be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy
don't struggle like that or i will only love you more
for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light
the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight"

and i feel like i'm being eaten
by a thousand million shivering furry holes
and i know that in the morning i will wake up
in the shivering cold

and the spiderman is always hungry...

oh it's opening time
down on fascination street
so let's cut the conversation
and get out for a bit
because i feel it all fading and paling
and i'm begging
to drag you down with me
to kick the last nail in
yeah! i like you in that
like i like you to scream
but if you open your mouth
then i can't be responsible
for quite what goes in
or to care what comes out
so just pull on your hair
just pull on your pout
and let's move to the beat
like we know that it's over
if you slip going under
slip over my shoulder
so just pull on your face
just pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time
down on fascination street

so pull on your hair
pull on your pout
cut the conversation
just open your mouth
pull on your face
pull on your feet
and let's hit opening time
down on fascination street

you shatter me
your grip on me
a hold on me
so dull it kills
you stifle me
infectious sense
of hopelessness and
prayers for rain
i suffocate
i breathe in dirt
and nowhere shines
but desolate
and drab the hours all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for
the rain

you fracture me
your hands on me
a touch so plain
so stale it kills
you strangle me
entangle me
in hopelessness and
prayers for rain
i deteriorate
i live in dirt
and nowhere glows
but drearily and tired
the hours all spent
on killing time again
all waiting for
the rain

kiss me goodbye
pushing out before i sleep
can't you see i try
swimming the same deep water as you is hard
"the shallow drowned lose less than we"
you breathe
the strangest twist upon your lips
"and we shall be together... "

"kiss me goodbye
bow your head and join with me"
and face pushed deep
reflections meet
the strangest twist upon your lips
and disappear
the ripples clear
and laughing
break against your feet
and laughing
break the mirror sweet
"so we shall be together... "

"kiss me goodbye"
pushing out before i sleep
it's lower now and slower now
the strangest twist upon your lips
but i don't see
and i don't feel
but tightly hold up silently
my hands before my fading eyes
and in my eyes
your smile
the very last thing before i go...

i will kiss you i will kiss you
i will kiss you forever on nights like this
i will kiss you i will kiss you
and we shall be together...

oh i miss the kiss of treachery
the shameless kiss of vanity
the soft and the black and the velvety
up tight against the side of me
and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed
and run in thickening streams of greed
as bit by bit it starts the need
to just let go
my party piece

oh i miss the kiss of treachery
the aching kiss before i feed
the stench of a love for a younger meat
and the sound that it makes
when it cuts in deep
the holding up on bended knees
the addiction of duplicities
as bit by bit it starts the need
to just let go
my party piece

but i never said i would stay to the end
so i leave you with babies and hoping for frequency
screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs
pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and
stains on the scenery
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both us knew
how the ending would be...

so it's all come back round to breaking apart again
breaking apart like i'm made up of glass again
making it up behind my back again
holding my breath for the fear of sleep again
holding it up behind my head again
cut in deep to the heart of the bone again
round and round and round
and it's coming apart again
over and over and over

now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces
i'll pull out my heart
and i'll feed it to anyone
crying for sympathy
crocodiles cry for the love of the crowd
and the three cheers from everyone
dropping through sky
through the glass of the roof
through the roof of your mouth
through the mouth of your eye
through the eye of the needle
it's easier for me to get closer to heaven
than ever feel whole again

i never said i would stay to the end
i knew i would leave you with babies and everything
screaming like this in the hole of sincerity
screaming me over and over and over
i leave you with photographs
pictures of trickery
stains on the carpet and
stains on the memory
songs about happiness murmured in dreams
when we both of us knew
how the end always is

how the end always is...

hey hey!
just one more and i'll walk away
all the everything you win
turns to nothing today
and i forget how to move
when my mouth is this dry
and my eyes are bursting hearts
in a blood-stained sky
oh it was sweet
it was wild
and oh how we...
i trembled
stuck in honey
honey
cling to me...
so just one more
just one more go
inspire in me the desire in me
to never go home

oh just one more
and i'll walk away
all the everything you win
turns to nothing today
so just one more
just one more go
inspire in me the desire in me
to never go home

hopelessly drift
in the eyes of the ghost again
down on my knees
and my hands in the air again
pushing my face in the memory of you again
but i never know if it's real
never know how i wanted to feel
never quite said what i wanted to say to you
never quite managed the words to explain to you
never quite knew how to make them believable
and now the time has gone
another time undone
hopelessly fighting the devil
futility
feeling the moster
climb deeper inside of me
feeling him gnawing my heart away
hungrily
i'll never lose this pain
never dream of you again

10:15 on a Saturday night
And the tap drips under the strip light
And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink
And the tap drips

Drip drip drip...

Waiting for the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering where she's been
And I'm crying for yesterday
And the tap drips

Drip drip drip...

It's always the same

We sit in the same room
Side by side
I give you the wrong lines
Feed you

Accuracy
Accuracy

Look into my eyes
We both smile
I kill you
Without trying

That's
Accuracy
Accuracy
Accuracy

Practice all day for accuracy

The sun rises slowly on another day
The eastern sky grows cold
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey

Something
Something holds me
Holds me hypnotized

I stare at the window, stare at the window
Waiting for the day to go
Winter in water colours
Shades of grey

You know you turn me on
Eyes so wide and legs so long
But don't try to talk to me
I won't listen to your lies
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes

Sophisticated smile
You seduce in such fine style
But don't try to fool me
'Cause I can see through your disguise
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes

But I don't mind
Just don't care
I've got no objections
To you touching me

Object, object
Object, object
Object, object
Object, object

You know just what to do
Lick your lips and I want you
But don't try to hold me
'Cause I don't want any ties
You're just an object in my eyes
You're just an object in my eyes

But I don't mind
No, I just don't care
I got no objections
To you touching me there

You're just an object, object

Object, object

You're just an object, object

You're just an object

Midnight in the subway
She's on her way home
She tries hard not to run
But she feels she's not alone
Echoes of footsteps follow close behind
But she dare not turn around
Turn around

You know you're a cute little heartbreaker
You know you're a sweet little lovemaker
I want to take you home
I won't do you no harm
You've got to be all mine
All mine

I see you come down on the scene, Foxy
You make me want to get up and scream, Foxy

I've made up my mind
I'm tired of wasting
Tired of wasting all my precious time
You've got to be all mine
All mine

I've made up my mind
I'm tired of wasting all my precious time
You've got to be all mine
All mine

I went into the butchers
I said I wanted some
Meat
Pass me some of that steak over there
You know

I lost my heart to a meathook

That butcher man was some lady
He really stole my
Pass me some of that
Slaughterhouse art

I lost my heart to a meathook

There's a meathook in my heart
Tearing me all apart
Ripping out my insides
But I just can't get away
I just can't
Meathook

When I told you what I
And I
And I wouldn't ask you to pretend
That we were one
And still another time
Forget all the lies
Forgive me the wounds
And all the world was used to love
And yes we'd still be happy in another time

Slowly fading blue
The Eastern hollows
Catch the dying sun
The night-time follows
Silent and black
Mirror pool
Mirrors the lonely place
Where I meet you
See your head
In the fading light
And through the dark
Your eyes shine bright
And burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo
Shifting crimson veil
Silken hips
Slide under my hand
Swollen lips
Whisper my name
And I yearn
You take me in your arms
And start to burn
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O...
Then the heat disappears
And the mirage fades away

F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O...

Burn like a fire in Cairo
Burn like a fire
Blaze like a fire in Cairo
Blaze like fire
Flare
Burn like fire
Burn like fire in Cairo

You wear your smile like it was going out of fashion
Dress to inflame but douse any ideas of passion
Carry your love in a trinket hanging round your throat
Always inviting, always exciting but I must not take off my coat

Well I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
That it's not you

You ask me questions that I never wanted to hear
I am the only one just until you finish this year
I would murder you if I had the alibi here in my hand
But you just laugh because you don't understand

That I'm tired of hanging around
I want somebody new
I'm not sure who I've got in mind
But I know that it's not you
It's not you

That it's not you
No, it's not you
It's not you

Walk across the garden
In the footsteps of my shadow
See the lights out
No one's home
In amongst the statues
Stare at nothing in
The garden moves
Can you help me?

Close my eyes
And hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys

Slipping through the door
Hear my heart beats in the hallway
Echoes
Round and round
Inside my head
Drifting up the stairs
I see the steps behind me
Disappearing
Can you help me?

Close my eyes
And hold so tightly
Scared of what the morning brings
Waiting for tomorrow
Never comes
Deep inside
The empty feeling
All the night time leaves me
Three imaginary boys sing in my
Sleep sweet child
The moon will change your mind
...

See the cracked reflection
Standing still
Before the bedroom mirror
Over my shoulder
But no one's there
Whispers in the silence
Pressing close behind me
Pressing close behind
Can you help me?
Can you help me?

I want to be old
And creek by the fire
I want to smell of rotting wood
It's all I desire
I want my joints to seize up
I want my legs to ache
I want my eyesight to fail
I want my skin to flake
To be old
I want to be old

I want false teeth
And not be able to chew
I want to be senile
A centigenarian fool
I want lots of wrinkles
Want my hearing to go
I want to be ignored
And I want to be slow
To be old
I want to be old

You're begging me to stay
But I'm laughing in your face
You're so desperate
Not to let those years of care
All go to waste
But it was you who wanted love
Not romance
You have to pay the price
My body may be made of fire
But my soul is made of ice

I'm me
I'm cold
I'm cold
I'm told
I'd love to love you girl
But my body has just been sold

Spit out the shout of a warning
Death is an honour with doubts
So you live in the end
And you mistrust the start
Because you don't think it counts

But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself

You're just a heroin face

You see a heroin face in the mirror
And someone is clutching your breath
And you believe in the needle of night
You're only doing your best

But you'll pay for yourself
You'll pay for yourself

You believe in the needle of night
And someone is clutching your breath
So you mistrust the start
By always running away
But you'll never come back

You're just a heroin face
Heroin face

I know that I don't love you
But I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers
If I want anything from you
You say that if you'll leave me
It will put me on a shelf
But I don't need you girl
I just need myself
I just need myself
You trust in all my lies
You'll believe it when you see it
be forever
So you let me have my way
But I'll make it that I'll leave you
'Cos I just need myself
I just need myself
I know that I don't love you
But I tell you that I do
But I only buy you flowers
If I want anything from you
You think that if you'll leave me
It will put me on a shelf
But I don't need you girl
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need myself
I just need...

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes

'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

The soul lives forever

Always ends sometime

Now I'm alone, alone and cold

Under painted skies

Remembering the love that we came alive

And I can only scream

As a lonely cry

Forever

The summer goes by upon the wind

Goes by as though it has never been

I lift my hand to wipe the tears

The tears

I just can't go on

Now my love has gone away

Now my imaginary world is fading fast

Dreams I dreamed could never last

I lived my innocence in the past

And my broken heart

The summer goes by upon the wind

Goes by as though it has never been

I lift my hand to wipe the tears

The tears

I just can't go on

Now my love has gone away

The summer goes by upon the wind

Goes by as though it had never been

I lift my hand to wipe the tears

The tears

I just can't go on

Now my love has gone

I just can't go on

Now my love has gone away

I paint your nails

And brush your hair

Until you are so very

Beautiful

I whisper in your ear

And on my knees I tell you that you are

Desirable

You don't need to cage me

To close all the doors

As long as you keep me

I will always be yours

Play with me

Play with me

I stroke your neck

And lick your neck

And do just what you tell me to

Sometimes I'll beg

But only when you want me to

Don't need to cage me

To close all the doors

As long as you keep me

I will always be yours

Play with me

Play with me

I know that you need me

I know that you care

You know that I may not love you

But I will always be there

I paint your nails

And brush your hair

And tell you that you are so very

Beautiful

I whisper in your ear

And on my knees I tell you that you are

Desirable

Don't need to cage me

To close all the doors

As long as you keep me

I will always be yours

Won't you play with me?

Play with me

Won't you play with me?

Please come play with me

Dressed in Berlin black
I was only playing
Disguise my words to fool you
From what I was saying
Mud trench
Meat stench
The Fatherland is looking on
Grip you in a luger lock...
This will be the big one

World war
No-one would believe me
World war
No-one's a winner
No-one's a loser...
Just a dead friend

Heaven heaven
Give me pride
Give me a golden hand
Smash them with an iron rule
Spit them out like sand
Sit and wait
Then run like hell
Run like hell
One time again
Sow the seeds of hate
Underneath destruction...

World war
No-one would believe me
World war
No-one's a winner
No-one's a loser...
Just a dead friend

I would say I'm sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind

I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it's too late
And now there's nothing I can do

So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes

'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it's no use
That you've already gone away

Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, more

Now I would do most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes

'Cause boys don't cry
Boys don't cry
Boys don't cry

Don't say what you mean
You might spoil your face
If you walk in the crowd
You won't leave any trace
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train

It won't take you long
To learn the new smile
You have to adapt
Or you'll be out of style
It's always the same
You're jumping someone else's train

If you pick up on it quick
You can say you were there
Again and again and again
You're jumping someone else's train

It's the latest wave
That you've been craving for
The old ideal was getting such a bore
Now you're back in line
Going not quite quite as far
But in half the time
Everyone's happy
They're finally all the same
Because everyone's jumping
Everybody else's train

Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train
Jumping someone else's train

Midnight in the subway
She's on her way home
She tries hard not to run
But she feels she's not alone
Echoes of footsteps follow close behind
But she dare not turn around
Turn around

We sit in the same room
Side by side
I give you the wrong lines
Feed you

Accuracy
Accuracy

Look into my eyes
We both smile
I kill you
Without trying

That's
Accuracy
Accuracy
Accuracy

Practice all day for accuracy

Mirror on the wall

10:15 on a Saturday night
And the tap drips under the strip light
And I'm sitting in the kitchen sink
And the tap drips

Drip drip drip...

Waiting for the telephone to ring
And I'm wondering where she's been
And I'm crying for yesterday
And the tap drips

Drip drip drip...

It's always the same

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Without you

A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me
A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
I see no further now than this dream
The trembling hands of the trembling man
Hold my mouth to hold in a scream

I try to think to make it slow
If only here is where I go
If this is real I have to see
I turn on fire And next to me
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It's so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new

Tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
Tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you

A nightmare of you
Of death in the pool
Wakes me up at quarter to three
I'm lying on the floor of the night before
With a stranger lying next to me

It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It looks good
It tastes like nothing on earth
It's so smooth it even feels like skin
It tells me how it feels to be new

Tells me how it feels to be new
A thousand voices whisper it true
Tells me how it feels to be new
And every voice belongs
Every voice belongs to you

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel
The illusion is deep
It's as deep as the night
I can tell by your tears you remember it all

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

How it feels to be dry
Walking bare in the sun
Every mirage I see is a mirage of you
As I cool in the twilight
Taste the salt on my skin
I recall all the tears all the broken words

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

When the sunset's glow drifts away from you
You'll no longer know if any of this was really true at all

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

Tell me who doesn't love
What can never come back
You can never forget how it used to feel

I am paralysed
By the blood of Christ
Though it clouds my eyes
I can never stop
Never stop

This is stranger than I thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And every one I'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

I'll tell them anything at all
I know I'll give them more and more

I'll tell them anything at all
I know I'll give the world and more
They think I'm on my hands and head
This time they're much too slow

Six sides to every lie I say
It's that American voice again
"It was never quite like this before
Not one of you is the same"

This this is stranger than I ever thought
Six different ways inside my heart
And everyone I'll keep tonight
Six different ways go deep inside

I'll tell them anything at all
I know I'll give the world and more
They think I'm on my hands and head
This time they're much too slow

Six sides to every lie I say
It's that American voice again
"It was never quite like this before
Not one of you is the same"

Go go go
Go go go
Push him away
No no no
No no no
Don't let me stay

He gets inside to stare at her
The sleeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be

Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time

Heaven give me a sign
Waiting for the sun to shine
Pleasure fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

It's so useless how can you be proud
When you're sinking into the ground
Into the ground fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Take it all and strike me dead


Waiting again
Waiting like I waited before
Waiting again
Waiting here for nothing at all
Heaven fills up my dreams
And I love it like a baby screams

Couldn't ask for more you said
Couldn't ever let it end
Take it all
Take it all and strike me dead

Heaven

I've waited hours for this,
I've made myself so sick,
I wish I'd stayed
Asleep today,
Thought this day would never end
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me
Just try to see in the dark,
Just try to make it work,
I feel the fear
Before you're here,
Make the shapes come much too close,
Pull my eyes out,
Hold my breath and wait,
'Til I shake
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream
I've waited hours for this,
I made myself so sick
I wished I'd stayed
Asleep today
Never thought this day would end,
Never thought tonight could ever be
So close to me,
But if I had your faith,
I could make it safe and clean
If only I was sure,
That your hand on the door was a dream

Say goodbye on a night like this
If it's the last thing we ever do
You never looked as lost as this
Sometimes it doesn't even look like you
It goes dark
it goes darker still please stay
But I watch you like I'm made of stone
As you walk away

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
A witch hunt for another girl
For always and ever is always for you
Your trust the most gorgeously stupid thing I ever cut in the world

Say hello on a day like today
Say it everytime you move
The way that you look at me now
Makes me wish I was you
It goes deep
It goes deeper still this touch
And the smile
And the shake of your head
And the smile
And the shake of your head

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

I'm coming to find you if it takes me all night
Can't stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you
I want it to be perfect like before

Oh I want to change it all
Oh I want to change

When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape

Taste the taste in your mouth
Taste the taste on your tongue
On the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
What do I do when you screw up your face?
What do I do when you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor and keep changing your shape?

Jump right into your mouth
Jump around on your tongue
And the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

Makes me sick at the way that I try
Anything in the world
To impress that I'm doing this
Only for you

I am slowing down
As the years go by
I am sinking

So I trick myself
Like everybody else

The secrets I hide
They twist me inside
They make me weaker

So I trick myself
Like everybody else

I crouch in fear and wait
I'll never feel again
If only I could
If only I could
If only I could remember
Anything at all

Yesterday I got so old
I felt like I could die
Yesterday I got so old
It made me want to cry
Go on go on
Just walk away
Go on go on
Your choice is made
Go on go on
And disappear
Go on go on
Away from here

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Yesterday I got so scared
I shivered like a child
Yesterday away from you
It froze me deep inside
Come back come back
Don't walk away
Come back come back
Come back today
Come back come back
Why can't you see
Come back come back
Come back to me

And I know I was wrong
When I said it was true
That it couldn't be me
And be her inbetween without you
Without you

Without you

Go go go
Go go go
Push him away
No no no
No no no
Don't let me stay

He gets inside to stare at her
The sleeping mouth
The mouth that knows
The secret you
Always you
A smile to hide the fear away
Oh smear this man across the walls
Like strawberries and cream
It's the only way to be

Exactly the same clean room
Exactly the same clean bed
But I've stayed away too long this time
And I've got too big to fit this time

Let me forget
Let me forget
Or let me go
Let me go
I'll keep it quiet as a whisper
I'll keep it low low low...
Never!
The biggest word I ever heard
Stop dead
Stop dead
You're getting too close...

Before you even opened your eyes
I moved about a million ways
I killed about a million people
And filled about half a day
Before you even opened your eyes
You had to have to ask me who
I love it...
I mean you...

My face was in your hands
You looked into my eyes
You said I tasted right
And swallowed me alive

When you screw up your eyes
When you screw up your face
When you throw out your arms
And keep changing your shape

Taste the taste in your mouth
Taste the taste on your tongue
On the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

What do I do when you screw up your eyes?
What do I do when you screw up your face?
What do I do when you throw out your arms
Fall on the floor and keep changing your shape?

Jump right into your mouth
Jump around on your tongue
And the film on your eyes
Of the way I've become

Makes me sick at the way that I try
Anything in the world
To impress that I'm doing this
Only for you
