Please excuse me but I got to ask
Are you only being nice
Because you want something
My fairytale are recent
Because of how you respond
Because you'd not end up in this song
I never gave you any encouragement
And it's doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more the more
The more that I appear
The more the more
The more I try to erase you
The more the more
The more that you appear
You know all the answers
So why do you ask?
I am only being nice
Because I want someone, something
You're like a kitten with a ball of yarn
And it's doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
Doing me in
The more you try to erase me
The more the more
The more that I appear
The more the more.
The more I try to erase you
The more the more
The more that you appear
No you are wrong!
You are wrong!
You are wrong!
You are wrong!
You are wrong!
You are wrong!
You're wrong!

02_-_Analyse
A self-fulfilling prophecy of endless possibilty
You're born and raised across the street
In algebra, in algebra
The fences that you cannot climb
The sentences that do not rhyme
In all that you can ever change
The one you're looking for
It gets you down
It gets you down
There's no spark
No light in the dark
It gets you down
It gets you down
You travel far
What have you found?
When there's no time
There's no time
to analyse
to think things through
to make sense
The candles in the city
it never looked so pretty
powercuts and blackouts
sleeping like babies
it gets you down
it gets you down
you're just playing a part
you're just playing a part
you're playing a part, playing a part
but there's no time
there's no time
to analyse ... analyse ... analyse ... analyse
=======================================
03_-_The Clock
Time is running out for us
But you just move the hands upon the clock
You throw coins in the wishing well
For us
You just move your hands upon the wall
It comes to you begging you to stop
Wake up
But you just move your hands upon the clock
Throw coins in the wishing well
For us
You make believe that you are still in charge
=======================================
04_-_Black_Swan
What will grow crooked, you can't make straight
It's the price that you gotta pay
Do yourself a favour and pack you bags
Buy a ticket and get on the train
Buy a ticket and get on the train
Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
Cause this is fucked up, fucked up
People get crushed like biscuit crumbs
And laid down in the bitumen
You have tried your best to please everyone
But it just isn't happening
No, it just isn't happening
And it's fucked up, fucked up
And this is fucked up, fucked up
This your blind spot, blind spot
It should be obvious, but it's not.
But it isn't, but it isn't
You cannot kickstart a dead horse
You just crush yourself and walk away
I don't care what the future holds
Cause I'm right here and I'm today
With your fingers you can touch me
I'm your black swan, black swan
But I made it to the top, made it to the top
This is fucked up, fucked up
You are fucked up, fucked up
This is fucked up, fucked up
Be your black swan, black swan
I'm for spare parts, broken up
=======================================
05_-_Skip_Divided
I'm in a skip divided, malfunction
I flap around and dive bomb
Frantically around your lie
enveloped in a sad distraction
I've got your voice repeating endlessly
Could you guide me in
Could you smother me
I'd swoop around your head
But I never hit
I'm blinded by your daylight
Electric veins passed through me
I thought there was this big connection
I only got my name and I got this situation
I just need a number and location
without appropriate papers or permissions
i'm no to buy tight situation
And then I head into your french windows
I thought there was this big connection
I only got my name
I only got my situation
I just need my number and location
The wall keeps telling me
Hey Hey, Hey Hey
Hey Hey, The devil may
Hey Hey, Hey Hey, Hey Hey
Yeah, you are a fool, you are a fool
For sticking round, for sticking round
Yeah, you are a fool, you are a fool
For sticking round, for sticking round
I've done every trick in the book
I tried to look at you
Every trick in the book
How come i look?
No more common dress or elliptical caress
Don't look into your eyes cause you're desperately in love, in love, in love
When you walk in a room everything disappears
When you walk in a room it's a terrible mess
When you walk in a room I start to melt
When you walk in a room I follow you 'round
Like a dog I'm a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a dog, I'm a lapdog
I'm your lapdog, yeah
I just got my number and location
I just need my number and location
=======================================
06_-_Atoms_for
_peace
No more going to the dark side with your flying saucer eyes
No more falling down a wormhole that I have to pull you out
the wriggling twiggling worm inside
devours from the inside out
No more talk about the old days
It's time for something great
I want you to get out
And make it work
So many allies
So many allies
So many allies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms
Peel all of your layers off
I want to eat your artichoke heart.
No more leaky holes in your brain
And no more false starts
I wanna get out
And make it work
So many lies
So many lies
So many lies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms
I wanna get out
And make it work
I want you to get out
And make it work
I'll be ok
So many lies
So many lies
So many lies
So feel the love come off of them
And take me in your arms

07_-_And_it_rained
_all _night
And it rained all night and washed the filfth away
Down New York airconditioned drains
The click click clack of the heavy black trains
A million engines in neutral
The tick tock tick of a ticking timebomb
Fifty feet of concrete underground
One little leak becomes a lake
Says the tiny voice in my earpiece
So I give in to the rhythm
The click click clack
I'm too wasted to fight back
Tick tack goes the pendulum on the old grandfather clock
I can see you
But I can never reach you
And it rained all night and then all day
The drops were the size of your hands and face
The worms come out to see what's up
We pull the cars up from the river
It's relentless
Invisible
Indefatigable
Indisputable
Undeniable
So how come it looks so beautiful?
How come the moon falls from the sky?
I can see you
But I can never reach you
I can see you
But I can never reach you
=======================================
08_-_Harrowdown
_Hill
dont walk the plank like i did
you will be dispensed with
when you've become
incovinient
up on harrowdown hill
near where you used to go to school
this where i, this where i am lying down
did i fall or was i pushed
then wheres the blood?
but i'm coming home, i'm coming home
to make it all right
so dry your eyes
we think the same things at the same time
we just can't do anything about it.
we think the same things at the same time
we just can't do anything about it.
So don't ask me ask the ministry
So don't ask me ask the ministry
We think the same things at the same time
There are so many of us
Oh you can't count
We think the same things at the same time
There are so many of us
Oh you can't count
can you see me when i'm running (x2)
away from there (x2)
i can't take the pressure
no one cares if you live or die
they just want me gone
they want me gone
but i'm coming home, i'm coming home
to make it all right
so dry your eyes
We think the same things at the same time
We just can't do anything about it
We think the same things at the same time
There are too many of us so you can't
There are too many of us so you can't count!
It was walking to the back down Harrowdown Hill
It was walking to the back down Harrowdown Hill
It was a slippery slippery slippery slope
It was a slippery slippery slippery slope
I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness
I feel me slipping in and out of consciousness
I feel me
=======================================
09_-_Cymbal_Rush
try to save but a death will come off the road
try to build a wall that's high enough
it's all boiling over, all boiling over
try to save your house
try to save your songs
try to run
but it follows you up the hill
it's all boiling over, all boiling over
your loved ones. your loved ones.
no more conversation. no more conversation.
you show it to me and i'm running out of chance
all our rooms renumbered and looses tender
don't turn away, don't turn away
