PERSONAL HOLLOWAY
Tune my weaker eye
spit white
hold the world up all day
she's blue in the face again
paracetamol burn the darkness all away
and drinking kitchen paint
to dye the winter
i hope we'll never see again
deaf and dumb with the lights on
deaf and dumb with the lights on
married by signs
married by signs
personal holloway
six months linen
it's safe to say we are alone
surburban suicide
watching night come amber
it's all so temporary
move a little way forward
move a little way now
move a little way forward
move a little way now
bleed life
breathe life
could be a better plan
GREEDY FLY
Do you feel the way you hate
do you hate the way you feel
always closest to the flame
ever closer to the blade
i am poison crazy lush
built these hands to lift me up
we are servants to our formulaic ways
i'm screaming daisies
from 14 miles away
i've got my own time
got it all today
make up your mind
i need some help
to find this mind
limbo this and limbo that
you were this and you were that
ever know that what you fear is what you find
this indian summer
i signed my life away
there's a greedy fly in here
and i fly away
SWALLOWED
Warm sun, feed me up
I'm leery loaded up
Loathing for a change
And I slip some boil away
Swallowed followed
Heavy about everything
But my love
Swallowed sorrowed
I'm with everyone and yet not
I'm with everyone and yet not
just wanted to be myself
Hey you said that you would love to try some
Hey you said you would love to die some in the middle of
a worm
on a
fish hook
You're the wave
You're the wave
You're the wave
Swallowed borrowed
Heavy about everything
But my love
Swallowed hollowed
Sharp about everyone
But yourself
Swallowed oh no
I'm with every one and yet not
I'm with every one and yet not
I'm with everyone and you're not
I'm on everyone and yet
Piss on self-esteem
Forward
Busted knee
Sick head
Blackened lungs
And I'm a simple selfish son
Swallowed followed
Swallowed oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
Got to get away from here
I miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot.
INSECT KIN
Iron lung
i know you well
deal with you
like a bad spell
see the trail
moon burns
red stripe
and vicadin
you were the only one
you're the censor
you'll never people me
i'm not defenseless
in the afternoon
as the light dims
build a life out of
all this semtex
you're the brightest one
you were the centre
the perfect opposite of
what we asked for
it's not just one away
a negative factor
with all of these wasps out
i'd better take cover
copper tongue beam me up
lonely without my impediments
start to save
what we used to steal
walking on gelatine
i never noticed you
you were the brightest one
you were the wide of me
just like the english sun
you caught the light again
in a perfect way
the biggest threat of all
is in the alleyway
you're the demon seed
you're the factor
feel better with a
little bit of plaster
it's not just one away
a negative factor
with all of these wasps out
i'd better take cover
there's all the pain in the way she talks
all the pain in the way she walks
all the pain in her wave goodbye
all the pain in the way she smiles
all the pain in her fatal charm
all the pain in her arms
COLD CONTAGIOUS
Wherever you are
you will carry always
truth of the scars
and the darkness of your faith
slowly move on
how did we get to here
it all went wrong
gravity claiming all your tears
everything looks so much better now
you will get yours
you have no right
to ask me now
you were never that around
i have missed
reality daytrips
and your suit me suit me ways
turn out the light switch
we've been awake for days
and no-one's coming round here no more
you will get yours
you have no right
to calm me down
you were never that around
i have missed
cold contagious
all the mighty mighty men
what you save is what you lose
out in the end
cold contagious
paint your perfect day
i don't mind this
i'm better of by the way
deeply grounded
you will get yours
cold contagious
all the mighty mighty men
what you save is what you lose
out in the end
cold contagious
A TENDENCY TO START
FIRES
Strange zoo
strange blaze
douse my head in flames
coming through got to get some
happiness is a bad son
forceps
kitchen tools
deconstruct your every move
feels better when you're here
guillotine just got here
back bend
back break
please yourself to make it rate
live it all at your own costs
so many just got lost
leaning for fire
leaning to fire
leaning to fire
here's tomorrow man
best of my ability
chasing what i can
here's tomorrow man
instinct
bare boned
light it up
take it home you will be all things
you'll get what you bring
leaning to fire
leaning to fire
leaning to fire
here's tomorrow man
best of my ability
chasing watercans
here's tomorrow man
best of my civility
with your own tongue
here's tomorrow man
MOUTH
You gave me this
made me give
your silver grin
still sticking in
you have soul machine
the longest kiss
peeling furniture days
drift madly to you
pollute my heart drain
you have broken on me
all you mental armour
drags me down
nothing hurts
like your mouth
your loaded smiles
pretty just dessert
wish it all for you
so much it never hurts
you have soul machine
stolen me
all you mental armour
drags me down
and we can't breathe
when you come around
all you mental armour
drags me down
nothing hurts
like your mouth
we'd missing long before
never found our way home
you gave me this
you made me give
you have soul machine
broken free
all you mental armour
drags me down
and we can't breathe
when you come around
all you mental armour
drags me down
nothing hurts
like your mouth
STRAIGHT NO CHASER
Always be there
face i live with
always be there
face i live with
abcess memory
with broken fingers
all the fallen down angels
raw pain distress
it's all in the way
we know that we could have it all
satellites of pain can't always be ignored
war on all sides
drink life as it comes
straight no chaser
drink life as it comes
straight no chaser
climb inside you
away from strangers
building a system
of alleys and motorways
it's all in the way we know that we could have it all
satellites of pain can't always be ignored
it's all in the face of we thought we knew before
war on all sides
keep on driving
hair left morning wet
there's nothing like losing you
HISTORY
Gave my love to 2 thousand yesterdays
nothing is wrong i am always a little late
probably will probably won't
get this disease cut out of my throat
all of a sudden you come my way
baby believer
i won't be saved by morning after
struggling my name
slave turned to master
history moans mouth of our father
history moans mouth of our father
edge of my bed
benzedrine telephone
struggling to speak
sicker than sickest dog
falling faster than a liar's grin
we need to be saved from the shit we're in
i believe in you i have found
the perfect way to bring me down
i won't be saved
by all your yesterdays
piss on my grave
piss on the underlay
history moans mouth of our father
it's the movement we're after
SYNAPSE
I don't mind this.
Deaf again.
Just a skinfull.
What we choose to forget.
Thinking you know.
Thinking you see all sides.
Crossing a stone from your hand.
Ya right.
Hell is where the heart is.
Synapse again.
There's nothing more I can do.
I havn't done again.
I never wanted nothing wrong.
Taking a cue from seven days.
I'll bet you never listened.
Burning holes in all your clothes.
Razorblade suitcase.
All the tricks of the trade.
Favourite ways you can lose.
Favourite ways you can hate.
Hell is where the heart is.
Synapse again.
There's nothing more I can do.
I havn't done it again, I havn't done it again.
I never wanted nothing wrong.
Taking a cue from better days.
I'll bet you never glistened.
Burning holes in all your clothes.
Burning holes in all your clothes.
Hell is where the heart is.
Synapse again.
There's nothing more I can do.
I havn't done it again.
Hell is where the heart is, where the heart is
COMMUNICATOR
Somewhere
sometime
all things will be fine
and it never seems to stop
wonder if i've met my wife
somewhere
sometime
all things will be fine
and it never seems enough
splinter left
focus right
this mortail soil around me
mortal feeling i have found
surrounded by your glory
hold me now
so that i never drown
and it never seems to stop
wonder if i've met my wife
splinter left
focus right
focus right
BONEDRIVEN
We're just a wish away
27th letter
much maligned
beat me clever
say you will
nevermind
open up
open wide
bonedriven
see we're taking all the life
to all pollutants
shave your face
we're all confusion
we're all the rage
maybe i can't erase
all that's left
inside out
heaven knows who walks away
heaven knows who walks
bonedriven
i was wrong and i will wait
i was wrong and i will i will wait
a thousand lamps
won't lift the dark
rest of our lives
might have already passed
DISTANT VOICES
I never thought i'd get away
cos all there is is faded for us today
maybe you sleep well in your head
but bring on the night let the cold moon burn instead
cos i'm gonna find my way
to the sun
if i destroy myself
swallowing habits die real hard
and the dress she wore
could not conceal the scars
beneath the magic of her lace
she can't place
i'm gonna find my way
to the sun
if i destroy myself
i can move on
i'm gonna find my way
to the sun
if i destroy myself
i can shine on
