English summer rain

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages
Seems to last for ages

I am in the basement
you're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
drop on by

always stays the same
always stays the same

Hold your breath and count to ten
*let's fall apart
start again
hold your breath and count to ten
start again, start again

This picture

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Of the cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor

What’s wrong with this picture?
What’s wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for Earth quakes

Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
We know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it’s faded
Disintegrated
The fear of growing old

Sometimes it’s faded
Assassinated
The fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake

Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
We know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it’s faded
Disintegrated
The fear of growing old

Sometimes it’s faded
Assassinated
The fear of growing old

Hang on
Though we try, it’s gone
Hang on
Though we try, it’s gone

Sometimes it’s faded
Disintegrated
The fear of growing old

Sometimes it’s faded
Assassinated
The fear of growing old

Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old
Can’t stop growing old

Sleeping with ghosts

The sea's evapourating
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing seeing
They're explosions in the sky
Its seems it written but we cant read between the lines
Hush
Its ok
Dry your eyes
Dry yours eyes

Soul mate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soul mate dry your eyes
'Cos soul mates never die

This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good is religion
When its each other we dispise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies
Hush
Its ok
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes

Soul mate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soul mate dry your eyes
Cos soul mates never die

Soul mates never die
Never die
Soul mates never die
Never die

Soul mates never die
Soul mates never die
Soul mates never die
Soul mates never die

The bitter end

Since we're feeling so anesthetised
in our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
that I followed you home

We're running out of allibies
from the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
on this winter's day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

Every step we take that's synchronised
Every broken bone
Remins me of the second time
that I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
as you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
on this fateful day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

[From the time we intercepted]
[Feels more like suicide...]

See you at the bitter end

Something rotten

Dirty water hits you
We're here
I miss you something rotten

Mistakes
Are here
It's guarenteed all is forgotten

Down here
Down here
It's clear
He wrapped you up in cotton

Don't fear
Don't fear
Creep, all is forgotten

Face down
Face down
Face down
I miss you something rotten

Face down
Face down
This ground is broken and rotten

Down here
Down here
??? it's all forgotten

Down here
Down here
Face down
I miss you something rotten

Down here
Down here
It stinks
It stinks something rotten

Don't fear
Don't fear
Keep all it's gotten

There's something rotten down here
There's something rotten down here
There's something rotten down here
There's something rotten down here
There's something rotten down here
There's something rotten down here
There's something rotten down here

Plasticine

Beauty lies inside the eye
Of another youthful dream
That doesn't sell it's soul to self asteem
That's not plasticine

Beauty lies inside desire
And every way-ward heart redeems
That doesn't sell it's soul to self asteem
That's not plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are

The only thing you can rely on
Is that you can't rely on anything
Don't go and sell your soul to self asteem
Don't be plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are

Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are

The way you are
The way you are
The way you are
The way you are

Special needs

Remember me
When you’re the one who’s silver screened
Remember me
When you’re the one you always dreamed
Remember me
Whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me
Special needs

Just nineteen, a suckers dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just nineteen, the dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me
When you clinch your movie deal
Think of me
Stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me
Through flash photography and screams
Remember me
Special dreams

Just nineteen, a suckers dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just nineteen, the dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Just nineteen, a suckers dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just nineteen, the dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me
Remember me

Just nineteen, a suckers dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just nineteen, the dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Just nineteen, a suckers dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just nineteen, the dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me
Remember me

I'll be yours

I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
The liquid peace
I'll be your reefer
You'll breath me in
You wont release
I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry
All night through
So ill be your water
Bathing you clean
Liquid blue

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be you lover
I'll be yours
I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be you lover
I'll be yours

I'll be your liquer
Bathing your soul
Juice thats pure
I'll be your anchor
You'll never leave
These shores that cure
I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry
For days and days
I'll be your liqour
Demons will drown
Throw away

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be you lover
I'll be yours
I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be you lover

I'll be you lover
I'll be yours
Yours x8

Second Sight

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were
You never were

Yes it's just the second night
That I would break that dice for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight, so

Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
Here comes the morning after

Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
You never were
You never were

Yes it's just the second night
That I would break that dice for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight, so
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight, so
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight, so

Third verse same as the first

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were
You never were

Yes it's just the second night
That I would break that dice for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight, so

Walk away, walk away
Walk away, walk away
Walk away (you never were)
Walk away (you never were)
Walk away (you never were)
Walk away (you never were)

Protect me from what I want

It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rain
To catch the last bus home

Corporate America wakes
Coffe Republic and cake
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celibrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now all alone

Wedding bells aint gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now all alone

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Centrefolds

come on life is hard
i refuse to let you die
come on fallen star
i refuse to let you die
cause i that's wrong
and i've been waiting for too long
and it's wrong
i've been waiting for too long
for you to be
be
be
be
be mine
for you to be mine
be mine
for you to be mine
and that's wrong
i've been waiting for too long
that's wrong
i've been waiting for too long
for you to be
be
be
be
on the centrefolds that you can't afford
how long since we've been last goodbies ?
on the centrefolds that you can't afford
you've longed since faded from that eyes
so be
be mine
so be
be mine
