You have no interest in the past
Where you came from Where you're going to There's a cliche in your eye File the edges down Soon be underground There's nothing here for you under the sun There's nothing new to do, it's all been done So put your faith in another place Never seem to get away from this It's all fallen into an abyss So put your foot on the pedal boy All you know is secondhand Will it pass through The cage inside you? You stole the only thing you love So unfaithful |

Can't feel the pain that I expected
I still place keys in the ignition I know what will be One thought is stopping me from sleeping I saw the future and it's breeding I know what will be Could be your last resort Like gold against your soul There are three things that I would die for But I am sure you're not one of them I know what will be Could be your last resort Like gold against your soul (whispered: You think you've got it all wrapped up now You stumble on so unsuspecting I know what will be) I hold your birth control to ransom The cells divide and grow inside you I know what will be I know what will be I know what will be |

When this freedom stains my coat
With the winter in my throat When I'm lost I dig the dirt When I fall I drive the hearse And silence is another way Of saying what I wanna say And lying is another way Of hoping it will go away And you were always my mistake... Given time I fix the roof Given cash I speak the truth And silence is another way Of saying what I wanna say And lying is another way Of hoping it will go away And you were always my mistake... When I'm down I drive the hearse When this boredom wears me out Then the sky begins to cloud Sleeping with my ball and chain When she cries I take the blame And pride is just another way Of trying to live with my mistakes Denial is a better way Of getting through another day And silence is another way Of saying what I wanna say And lying is another way Of hoping it will go away And you we're always my mistake... When I'm down I drive the hearse |

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 |

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. |

A good impression
Of myself Not much to conceal I'm saying nothing But I'm saying Nothing with feel I simply am not here No way I... Shut up, be happy Stop whining, please And because of who we are We react in mock surprise The curse of "There must be more" So don't breathe here Don't leave your bags I simply am not here No way I... Shut up, be happy Stop whining, please The dust in my soul makes me feel the weight in my legs My head in the clouds, and I'm zoning out I'm watching TV, but I find it hard to stay conscious I'm totally bored, but I can't switch off Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy We're lost in the mall, shuffling through the stores like zombies Well, what is the point? What can money buy? My hands on a gun, and I find the range, God, tempt me Well, what did you say? Think I'm passing out Only apathy from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Electricity from the pills in me It's all in me, all in you Only MTV and cod philosophy Water so warm that day I counted out the waves As they broke into shore I smiled into the Sun The water so warm that day I was counting out the waves And I followed their short life As they broke on the shoreline I could see you But I couldn't hear you You were holding your hat in the breeze Turning away from me In this moment, you were stolen There's black across the Sun Water so warm that day I counted out the waves As they broke into shore I smiled into the Sun |

I wasted my chances I have found myself wanting When a mother and father Gave me their problems I accepted them all Nothing ever expected I was rejected But I came back for more And my ashes drift beneath the silver sky Where a boy rides on a bike and never smiles And my ashes fall over all the things we've said On a box of photographs under the bed I will stay in my own world Under the covers I will feel safe inside The kiss that will burn me Cure me of dreaming I was always returning And my ashes find a way beyond the fog And return to save the child that I forgot And my ashes fade among the things unseen And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales Never-ending clouds of rain, and distant sails... distant sails |

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 |

Never look for the truth in your mother's eyes Never trust the sound of rain upon a river rushing Through your ears Arriving somewhere but not here Could you imagine the final sound as a gun Or the smashing windscreen of a car? Did you ever imagine the last thing you'd hear as you're fading out Was a song? Arriving somewhere but not here [Chorus:] All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised And all of my dreams, sacrificed Ever had the feeling you've been here before? Drinking down the poison the way you were taught Ever thought from here on in your life begins And all you knew was wrong? Arriving somewhere but not here All my designs, simplified And all of my plans, compromised And all of my dreams... Did you see the redness block your part? Did the scissors cut a way to your heart? Did you feel the end before the suns of mothers Tearing you apart? Arriving somewhere but not here |

It took the precious things that I hold dearer It rifled through the grey and disappeared The creeping darkness makes the small hours clearer Like a cancer scare In the dentist's chair Sucking in the air Wire across the stair Kicking down the door At your local store With the world at war Voices through the floor Unexpected news Wearing high heeled shoes Blowing out the fuse Paying all your dues Deadwing lullaby Like a fracture tied It's a worthless lie To the public eye I don't take waifs and strays back home with me My bleeding heart does not extend to charity Yes I'd have to say I like my privacy And did you know you're on closed circuit TV? So smile at me And a dream you had Of your mum and dad On a beach somewhere And the poison air With the cancer threat In a cigarette Deadwing lullaby Find a place to hide And from the yellow windows of the last train A spectre from the next life breathes his fog on the pane I look with you into the speeding black rain Afraid to touch someone, afraid to ask her for her name And in the morning when I find I have lost you I throw a window open wide and step through |

I can see a washed out moon through the fog And then a voice inside my head breaks the analogue And says "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" I survived against the will of my twisted folk But in the deafness of my world the silence broke And said "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul" "My David don't you worry This cold world is not for you So rest your head upon me I have strength to carry you" (Ghosts of the twenties rising Golden summers just holding you) "Follow me down to the valley below You know Moonlight is bleeding from out of your soul Come to us Lazarus It's time for you to go" |

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 |

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 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 ? |

Hear the sound of music
Drifting in the aisles Elevator prozac Stretching on for miles The music of the future Will not entertain It's only meant to repress And neutralise your brain Soul gets squeezed out Edges get blunt Demographic Gives what you want Now the sound of music Comes in silver pills Engineered to suit you Building cheaper thrills The music of rebellion Makes you wanna rage But it's made by millionaires Who are nearly twice your age One of the wonders of the world is going down It's going down I know It's one of the blunders of the world that no-one cares No-one cares enough |

A mother sings a lullaby to a child
Sometime in the future the boy goes wild And all his nerves are feeling some kind of energy A walk in the woods and I will try Something under the trees that made you cry It's so erotic when your make-up runs I got wiring loose inside my head I got books that I never ever read I got secrets in my garden shed I got a scar where all my urges bled I got people underneath my bed I got a place where all my dreams are dead Swim with me into your blackest eyes A few minutes with me inside my van Should be so beautiful if we can I'm feeling something taking over me |

Open your eyes now
Hear me out before I lose my mind I've been waiting for hours Let the salt flow, feel my coil unwind Give me a smile please Count the calm and watch my breathing slow Winding me up tease Get inside my head and make it show Gravity eyelids come down Touching your oil skin Slipping hands down past your waist to find I've been waiting for hours Let the salt flow, feel my coil unwind Go to the edge swim Brown the eyes that sleep has rendered blind 1. Gravity eyelids come down 2. Come love so young with your gold arms so I wake her 3. Here's a will that will glow in the dark - |

I pull off the road
East of Baldock and Ashford Feeling for my cell In the light from the dashboard Hissing from the road The smell of rain in the air con Maybe check the news Or just put a tape on Lighting up a smoke I've got this feeling inside me Don't feel too good If I close my eyes And fell asleep in this layby Would it all subside The fever pushing the day by Motor window wind I could do with some fresh air Can't breathe too well (She waits for me. Home waits for me.) I guess I should go now She's waiting to make up To tell me she's sorry And how much she missed me I guess I'm just burnt out I really should slow down I'm perfectly fine but I just need to lie down We'll grow old together We'll grow old together We'll grow old together.... |

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) |

Raise the kids good, beat the kids good and tie them up Spread it wide, my wife, my life, push the camera deeper I can use, I abuse, my muse, I made them all This machine Is there to please Strip the soul Fill the hole A fire to feed A belt to bleed Strip the soul Kill them all They are not gone, they are not gone, they are only sleeping In graves, in ways, in clay, underneath the floor Building walls, overalls, getting bored, I got faulty wiring Brick it up now, brick it up now, but keep the bones (Do you want a western home in the rubble?) |

He captured and collected things
And he put them in a shed He raised a proper family So he could tie them to a bed The creator had a mastertape But he left it in a cab I stared into the void tonight The best dream I ever had He worked himself into the ground And drove a spike into his head A voice said "Are you happy now ? Your sordid home is running red" Pills and chloroform All the pages torn |

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 |

Junk mail and bills from the catalogues And the neighbours have guessed 'Cos I've cancelled the milk And they don't hear your voice Through the walls anymore How is your life today? How is your life today? I was kissed on the cheek by a cold mouth While the taxi was waiting like a getaway car Each second seems like a lifetime And the cat it's been staring at me all this time La la la la la la, la la la la la la... How is your life today? How is your life today? |

You can dream and drowse The miuntes turn to hours We could climb a tree or two And watch the sun go down Upon our sleepy town After all the time I spent with you Summer went away And we just weren't the same It's just you and me alone Not grown ups but not kids You kissed me on the lips [instrumental] |

The quickest album we ever made (in 3 months flat and within only a few months of the release of the previous one) and we all feel our best work to date. Although superficially it seems to be a continuation of "Stupid Dream" it is a much more intense work - possibly less immediate, but ultimately more rewarding. Lyrically I arrived at a point where I was no longer interested in writing about abstract concepts like war, religion, space...etc... These are very personal and emotionally raw songs. It took me a long time to have the confidence and experience to be able to write them and some of them are dripping with negative emotions (Hatesong and Feel So Low particularly). Feel So Low pleased me a lot as I resisted the temptation to refine the original stream of consciousness words and left the nerve ends dangling. Musically we wanted to bring back some of the experimental aspects that had been to some degree lost on "Stupid Dream". Richard and I worked on creating some unique keyboard sounds for the album - e.g. the "fairground" on "How is Your Life Today ?" and the "insects" at the end of "Russia On Ice". There was also an influence from industrial and metal music coming through (we'd all been listening to Nine Inch Nails "The Fragile") - for example part of the beauty of the guitar solo on Where We Would Be (my favourite solo of mine to date) comes from the fact that it was played relatively straight but then fed through so many distortion and lo-fi processes that it began to fizz and disintegrate. The riffing guitars on Russia On Ice are pure metal and one of the solos of Hatesong I call my "Korn solo" on account of the fact that the bottom strings on the guitar are tuned down so low that the notes can be bent several tones. On the other hand there is a whole set of songs where the pastoral sound of long-gone English summers exerts it's influence on me (not for the first time). In a song like "Winding Shot" there are shades of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young and Nick Drake, although the end result is hopefully pure Porcupine Tree. This effect is accentuated by the fact that many of the instruments and vocals on the album are much more up front and given less of a sheen than on "Stupid Dream" (where the "stadium" production is I think the weakest aspect). Organic is the word I like to use. As we had on "Stupid Dream" we expanded our musical colours to include things like banjo, hammered dulcimer, the string arrangements of Dave Gregory and several African and Morrocan instruments that Colin brought back from his travels. To date it's the only album we've made that I still rated highly by the time we'd finished it - even the B-sides and leftovers seemed too good not to be on an album, but we were determined to keep the album below the one hour mark. The only point of contention was the inclusion of the song "The Rest Will Flow". Some of the band didn't really want it on the record, but it sounded so much like possible single that it seemed perverse not to include it. Favourite tracks - "How is Your Life Today ?", "Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth..." and "Feel So Low" (plus most of the others to be honest). Steven Wilson Although it appears to be a continuation of sorts from "Stupid Dream" there are quite obvious differences as well. Certainly on the production side there is a more intense and upfront sound apparent. Also parts of the arrangements are stripped down to the bare essentials. Steven's lyrics became more personal and less ambiguous and so the arrangements by definition became more stripped down and more direct. Much of my keyboard experimenting took place on tracks like "Russia On Ice", "Last Chance to Evacuate Planet Earth...", "Feel so Low" and "4 Chords That Made a Million"", while other tracks didn't seem to need a great deal of keyboards. I'm not one for playing all over a track if I can't see a genuine need for it. For me this album has an honesty and emotion that places it above all the other Porcupine Tree albums, although I would also say that not every track is as strong as some individual tracks on past albums. My favourites are "Russia On Ice" and "Feel So Low". Richard Barbieri |

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 ? You said you hate me this way It's just a matter of time A drop in the ocean A significant motion Nothing melts in this cold But Russia on ice is burning a hole |

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...

A body is washed up on a Norfolk beach He was a friend that I could not reach He thought I was cold but I understand But for the grace of god goes another man And I may just waste away from doing nothing But I'm a martyr to even less A choirboy is buried on the moors Where we used to go dreaming when we were bored So some kids are best left to fend for themselves And others were born to stack shelves And I may just waste away from doing nothing But I'm a martyr to even less |

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 |
