Your unpleasant family,
smashed up my car (perfectly uncalled for) Your unpleasant family, how vile they are (I crawled out of the wreckage on my knees) Tore up my flowers so what did we learn? (there I found regret amongst the trees) Snips of a life, we had in the garden, we tear up the flowers |

Degradation takes a soul potential
The woman ain't to blame Infiltrate the morning's passing hours But love remains the same I know I wish you were black But ain't no use you pretending She ain't ever coming back To put you on the right track All American humour With all American smile Love is on the horizon baby But no one can reply, well, well I know I wish you were black But ain't no use singing gospel She ain't ever coming back To put you on the right track Breezin, breezin, she's no lover Nobody's lover, babe She says: Breezin, breezin Satisfaction unrequired baby A ghetto in your heart Hoards of mass production baby Is keeping us apart I know I wish you were black But ain't no use singing gospel She ain't ever coming back To put you on the right track She puts you on the right track |

Tied - tied to a time When we knew that the sun would shine And you were all smiles And we could just talk for a while... Of where we would be when the future comes And how you would paint while I wrote my songs If I could find you And tell you about my life Or maybe just write And remind you of when we would dream... Of where we would be when the future comes And how you would paint while I wrote my songs Strange how you never become The person you see when you're young |

> So I got all these things, but so what?
In the end you can't take them with you You think you can save my soul? Well OK... Tell me, with all your conviction What happens now? Well I could be boarding an aircraft With a bomb concealed in somebody's briefcase And my body will spread through the heavens, across the sky And my ashes will fall through the cloudburst What happens now?

Out at the train tracks
I dream of escape But a song comes onto my iPod And I realize it's getting late And I can't take the staring And the sympathy And I don't like the questions "How do you feel?" "How's it going in school?" and "Do you wanna talk about it?" Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish And I'm trying to forget you And I know that I will In a thousand years, or maybe a week Burn all your pictures, and cut out your face The shutters are down and the curtains are closed And I've covered my tracks Disposed of the car Trying to forget even your name and the way that you look When you're sleeping Dreaming of this Way out Way out of here Fade out Fade out, vanish |

Waiting... to be born again
Wanting... the saddest kind of pain Waiting for the day when I will crawl away Nothing is what I feel Waiting... for the drugs to make it real Waiting... for the day when I will crawl away Waiting... to be disciplined Aching... for your nails across my skin Waiting... for the day when I will crawl away |

Train set and match spied under the blind
Shiny and contoured the railway winds And I've heard the sound from my cousin's bed The hiss of the train at the railway head Always the summers are slipping away A 60 ton angel falls to the earth A pile of old metal a radiant blur Scars in the country the summer and her Always the summers are slipping away Find me a way for making it stay When I hear the engine pass I'm kissing you wide The hissing subsides I'm in luck When the evening reaches here You're tying me up I'm dying of love It's ok |

I was born in '67
the year of Sgt. Pepper and Are You Experienced. Into a suburb of heaven, yeah it should've been forever. It all seemed to make so much sense. But after a while you realize time flies. And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you. 'Cuz time flies. She said luck is what you make it you just reach out and take it. Now let's dance a while. She said nothing ever happens if you don't make it happen. And if you can't laugh and smile. But after a while you realize time flies. And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you. 'Cuz time flies. And laughing in the summer showers that's still the way I see you now. How does time break down with no marker, things slow down. A conference of the strange and your family is deranged. I could tell you what I'm thinking while we sit here drinking, But I'm not sure where to start. You see, there's something wrong here, I'm sorry if I'm not clear, Can you stop smoking your cigar? But after a while you realize time flies. And the best thing that you can do is take whatever comes to you. 'Cuz time flies. And the coat you wore to Alton Towers Is still the way I see you now. |

Artilleries of braking lights and bluish glow Ascending in a plumage of twisted steel Shattered glass and confetti dashed upon the wheel When a car crash gets you off you've lost your grip When a fuck is not enough you know you've slipped When the church is full it means you've just been had When the world has gone to seed you're so detached Got a feeling that I want you to be there Driving by on my way to somewhere else I fill my lungs with a noxious burning smell There is weed and grey concrete like this for miles Dead souls in my rear view mirror hitch a ride for a while I want to be loved |

Sometimes I'm quite alone I pack to leave a foreign town It seems I'll never know But I'll rent new accommodation We'll make plans for mobile homes Slow boats moving with the tide Drifting far from shore It's the nature of this country life I've never known before Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses From mobile homes Plant life My life Still life in mobile homes Plant life My life Still life in mobile homes The sound of wildlife fills the air So warm and dry The bushland burns in this southern heat Like an open fire Still we'll make plans for buildings and houses From mobile homes...mobile homes Plant life My life Still life in mobile homes Blood life My life Still life in mobile homes A voice screams from heaven As we start to sail It's the calling of the fatherland I used to know so well 'Til I'll find new accommodation We'll make plans for mobile homes Plant life My life Still life in mobile homes Plant life My life Still life in mobile homes |

Sometimes I feel I've been here forever
Sometime ago Sometimes we sense the doubt together Sometimes alone I'm tired but we won't sleep at all even though the air is calm Something here and something warm something cuts the scars inside tonight Sons of pioneers are hungry men Every voice I hear sounds so familiar Every song I know Still there's been no change in the weather But sometime we'll have to go I'm tired but we won't sleep at all even though the air is calm Something here and something warm something cuts the scars inside tonight Sons of pioneers are hungry men |

This means out
This is your way out Do or drown Do or drown in torpor Leave no trace All my files erased Burn my clothes Burn my Prada trainers Let's sleep together right now Relieve the pressure somehow Switch off the future right now Let's leave forever This is fate This is your escape Leave here now Leave here now it's over Let's sleep together right now Relieve the pressure somehow Switch off the future right now Let's leave forever |

At the age of sixteen
I grew out of hope I regarded the cosmos Through a circle of rope So I threw out my plans Ran on to the wheel And emptied my head Of all childish ideals The sleep of no feeling The sleep of no being The sleep of no dreaming I married the first girl Who wasn't a man And smiled as the spiders Ran all over my hands Made a good living By dying it's true As the world in my TV Leaked on to my shoes |

I need you more than you can know And if I hurt myself it's just for show I found a better way to curb the pain You put a trigger here inside my brain Mother I need her I'm falling apart Mother I need her And it's only the start I may be nothing now but I will rise I'll have more followers than jesus christ Through all the smashing and crashing cars I love the ground you walk with all my heart |

You move in waves You never retrace Your newest craze Straight out of the Face by the bed unread I'm left behind Like all the others Some fall for you It doesn't make much difference if they do She changes every time you look By summer it was all gone - now she's moved on She called you every other day So savour it it's all gone - now she's moved on So for a while Everything seemed new Did we connect ? Or was it all just biding time for you ? |

I don't remember
Did something in my past, create a hole. Don't use your gender. To drive a stake right through my soul. I live to function, On my own is all I know. No friends to mention, No destruction, nowhere to go Shallow, shallow, Give it to me, give into me Scissors cutting out your anger Shallow, shallow, No good to me, not if you bleed Bite your tongue ignore the splinter This city drains me, Maybe it's the smell of gasoline. The millions pain me, It's easier to talk to my PC. I live to function, On my own is all I know. No friends to mention, No destruction, nowhere to go Shallow, shallow, Give into me, give into me Seasons caught in a triangle, Shallow, shallow, No good to me, not if you bleed, Bite your tongue end on a splinter Shallow, shallow, Give into me, give into me Seasons caught in a triangle Shallow, shallow, No good to me, not if you bleed Bite your tongue end on a splinter |

You think I deserve this You said I was stupid All my thoughts are like coal But Russia on ice is burning a hole Can't stop myself drinking Can't stop being me If I call will you come and will you save me ? I see the whole thing come down I blow it to the ground Well what the hell did you say ?

Love utensils in the palm of her hand Saluting supermarket majorettes We understand Oh, muzak for digital clocks Departmental stores, vacate no sound Exchanging surgical appliances On hired ground And love blows through Rhodesia And love blows through Rhodesia Soldierettes marching in the parking lot Bleach your body, be proof to the fact Moving out in all directions And turning back Oh, heartaches from Amsterdam Masturbated over jilted bouquets Approximation's counting on a freight line We pull away And love blows through Rhodesia And love blows through Rhodesia Oh, Nazis in full attack Burning niggers in a cotton field Service stations offer promises And promises offer me And love blows through Rhodesia And love blows through Rhodesia |

Boys, when those driving hands push against the tracks Boys, it's too late to wonder why Here we are stranded Somehow it seems the same, beware. Here comes the quiet life again?

I don't know whose side I'm on
I don't think that I belong 'round here If I left the stage would that be wrong? I tried to find myself a better way I got religion but I went astray They took my money and I lost my faith Rain keeps crawling down the glass The good times never seem to last Close your eyes and let the thought pass I tried the capsule and I tried the smoke I tried to aid escape like normal folk But I never seemed to get the joke These are my old clothes This is a new low This is my blood flow This is my headstone I spend my days with all my friends They're the ones on whom my life depends I'm gonna miss them when the series ends Rain keeps crawling down the glass (Pull yourself together) The good times never seem to last (You know it's not so bad) Close your eyes and let the thought pass (Close your eyes and let it pass) |

I remember piano lessons
The hours in freezing rooms Cruel ears and tiny hands Destroying timeless tunes She said there's too much out there Too much already said You'd better give up hoping You're better off in bed You don't need much to speak of No class, no wit, no soul Forget you own agenda Get ready to be sold I feel now like Christine Keeler Sleepwaking in the rain I didn't mean to lose direction I didn't want that kind of fame (Take your hands off my land) Credit me with some intelligence (if not just credit me) I come in value packs of ten (in five varieties) And even though I got it all now My only stupid dream I see you and me together And how it should have been I remember piano lessons Now everything seems clear You waiting under streetlights For dreams to disappear |

Nothing like this
Felt in her kiss Cannot resist her Fell for her charm ? her arms I keep a photograph Give me a glimpse Let me come in Be there inside her Here it begins Here is the sin Something to lie about You think you're smart I think you art We agree on this It doesn't work Feeling like dirt Feeling like you don't care We get a room And in her gloom She lights a cigarette Clothes on the bed "Love me," she said I loose myself to her I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well Bury the heart-shaped shell Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car Okay what's next? After the sex What do we do now? Finding the time Drawing the line And never crossing it Gave her the hours Gave her the power Cannont erase her Gave her the truth Gave her the proof I gave her everything I'm getting feelings I'm hiding too well Bury the heart-shaped shell (I had the feelings [inaudible]) Something broke inside my stomach I let the pieces lie just where they fell (I left the pieces where they fell) Being with you is hell Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down her arm Hair blown in an open car On a drive out to the mall Hair blown in an open car Hair blown in an open car Summer dress slips down your arm Hair blown in an open car |

Here is my car, my phone and my TV
I've got it all but you can see through me But am I here? It's kind of hard to tell I do a good impression of myself But what's normal now anyhow? Sullen and bored the kids stay And in this way they wish away each day Stoned in the mall the kids play And in this way they wish away each day Prescription drugs they help me through the day And that restraining order keeps me well at bay But what's normal now anyway? Sullen and bored the kids stay And in this way they wish away each day Stoned in the mall the kids play And in this way they wish away each day Wish I was old and a little sentimental You gotta see the waves, not the wine bottle. |
