It's such a shame, shame you're wasting away
You can't stop kicking 'til your legs give way
You're mind's tick, ticking and the time's the same
I don't feel safe in an aeroplane

It's such a strange, strange way to behave
I say "see you later" then I give you a wave
I've got no reason why my sky's so blue
Since I've had a piece of you.

Stop asking me how I've been
I'm alright
Don't say you're sorry for anything you feel
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright

It's such a shame, shame I'm wasting away
My clothes don't fit me and I hate today
If I don't get bitter I won't get the pain
And I'm so happy I'm still the same
It's such a strange strange way to behave
I say "see you later" then I give you a wave
I've got no reason why my sky's so blue
Since I've had a taste of you

Its alright, it's alright
If I don't get bitter I don't get the pain
If I don't get bitter I don't get the pain

I can't get it together so I've loaded my Beretta
I'm gonna take myself out on the Kingston Bridge
Some might say I'm shallow but I'm just so tired of Glasgow
And I'm long past the point of...

What can I do?!
Twenty seven wishes to get through to you, yeah
I can't get of the ladder
What can I do?!
No restraints, just complaints in my sick perverted groove
No cover
What does that mean?!
The paint started running from my TV screen
So I scream
What does that mean?!
I'll be chasing my dreams in a black limousine

I'm sorry, mother!
But I'm so confused
I've got rocks in my pocket
And stones inside my shoes
I gaze down at the river
And come and break my fall
This is how I feel about it all
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)

When my sky starts falling, what can I do?
Take a train, take a trip, take a walk in the zoo
When my dark side's calling, what can I do?
Have a smoke, have a joke, get into the groove
When the room starts jumping, what does that mean?
Turn, turn, turn it, I turn to me.
When my head starts thumping, what does that mean?
I'll be chasing my dreams in a black limousine

I'm sorry, mother!
But I'm so confused
I've got rocks in my pocket
Aspirations in my shoes
I gaze down at the river
And come and break my fall
This is how I feel about it all
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)

When my sky starts falling, what can I do?
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
When my dark side's calling, what can I do?
(Do-do-do-do-do-do)
[Repeats in background]

I can't get it together so I've loaded my Beretta
I'm gonna take myself out on the Kingston Bridge
Some might say I'm shallow but I'm just so tired of Glasgow
And I'm chasing my dreams in a black limousine

I'm sorry, mother!
But I'm so amused
I've got hopes in my pockets
Teenage dreams inside my shoes
I gaze down at the river
And today I think I've grown
Open up your arms, I'm coming home

I'm sorry, mother!
But I'm stuck in this sick, perverted groove, yeah
I'm sorry, mother!
But I'm stuck in this sick, perverted groove, yeah... yeah
[(Do-do-do-do-do-do) x4 in backround]

Is this the in place to be?
What am I doing here?
Watching the girls go by
Spending money on...

Sleep all day
It's the only way
I'm a parasite
I creep about at night

Nite Klub, is this the in place to be?
Nite Klub, what am I doing here?
Nite Klub, watching the girls go by
Spending money on...

Hey, hey, I don't work
Cos I don't have to
I don't have to work
There's no work to do

Nite Klub,
I'm a member of the Nite Klub
Nite Klub,
A fully paid up member of the Nite Klub

I won't dance in a club like this
All the girls are slags
and the beer tastes just like piss

I'm a parasite
I creep about at night
Yes I'm a member of the Nite Klub
A fully paid up member of the Nite Klub

Nite Klub, is this the in place to be?
Nite Klub, what am I doing here?
Nite Klub, watching the girls go by
Spending money on beer!

You get the girls, I'll bring the boys,
Turn down the lights, send in some noise,
Send in some noise.

Close the door, mix yourself a drink
I'll know what you mean when you say what you think,
It feels real good with your feet high up in the air
Through states of despair,
Put on your boots, get out of you head,
Music is dead.

Shave you head and cut right through the steel
When you don't know what's real
Cut the conversation short if that's the way you feel,
Put on your boots get out of you head,
Music is dead
This ain't the sixties anymore

I put on my boots and I shave my head
This ain't the sixties anymore

You'd think in all this time that we'd have grown
No

Send in some noise

This ain't the sixties anymore
This ain't the sixties anymore
(no)
There's mum and dad on the dance floor
You'd think in all this time that we'd have grown
No

If you're still making records without your pain
then you're still making records that sound the same
This ain't the cities anymore

I found a place where nobody else knows
Underneath some rubble where a red night light glows
I scrape back the dirt and crawl through the smokescreen
To find myself living in a scene from my worst dream
When I look up, everything looks down
When I look up, everything looks down

It's like living in a scene from your worst dream
It's like living in a scene from your worst dream

I see a face that nobody else sees
Clouds in his eyes and his arms tied around me
I try to struggle but I can't move, I can't breathe
Like and love me cause you can't ever leave me

When I get up and look around
When I wake up I can't get out

This is real
It's like living in a scene from you worst dream
This is real
It's like living in a scene from you worst dream

This is real

Take off your coat, won't you stay and keep me company?
Take off your clothes, won't you stay and make love to me?
I take one step forward and two steps back
One step forward and two steps back

I'm in a state
I'm in a state of insecurity
I'm in a state of disrepair
Start at the bottom, not the top of the bottom
I'm in a state of insecurity
I'm in a state of disrepair

I don't believe in religion
It's there to divide us
It grates up our minds
And gets a grip inside us
I can't see so good through this fog

I'll drink with the Devil but stay friends with God
Something always gets in the way of me and you
Why does something always get in the way of me and you?

I'm in a state
I'm in state of insecurity
I'm in a state of disrepair
Start at the bottom, not the top of the bottom
I'm in a state of insecurity
I'm in a state of disrepair

I take on step forward and two steps back
One step forward and two steps back
It takes one step forward and two steps back
One step forward and two steps back
