WARM
MACHINE
I memorise the basics
making strange faces
tread slowly for i know
there's a thousand miles to go
without blinking
gravitate spacewards
find a home for the head
from my basement
no darkness ever left
this is the night this is the sound
here comes the warm machine
such a warm machine
some days are playful
making play faces
but we will not let it through
the darkness and the sense
of being born to lose
this is the life
this is the ground
here comes the warm machine
such a war machine
if we never know we can only feel
i'll take the help i'll take a slice
warm alright now cos i feel alright
i memorise the basics
this is the night
this is the sound
here comes the warm machine
JESUS
ONLINE
Whatever she wants from me
whatever device
whether in kindness
whether in spite
i can't help myself
i let the monster through
wherever she sends me
wherever the plane
perfect black dress
perfect grave
what can i say
what can i do
i did it to myself
i did it all confused
jesus online
wires around the world
feel invincible
computer car and girl
to be perfect just like you
whenever she comes with me
whenever we break
dress up my apathy
pretend we're great
jesus online
arms around the world
feel invincible
computer carbon girl
THE
CHEMICAL BETWEEN US
I want you to remember
a love so full it could send us all ways
and i want you to surrender
all my feelings rose today
and i want you to remain
the power of children can amaze
i'll try not to complain
i know that's a pisser baby
the chemicals between us
the walls that lie between us
lying in this bed
the chemicals displaced
there is no lonelier place
than lying in this bed
i want you to remember
everything you said
every driven word
like a hammer hell to my head
the chemicals between us
there is no lonelier state
than lying in this bed
we're of the hollow men
we are the naked ones
we never meant you harm
never meant you wrong
i'd like to thank
all my lovers lovers lovers
the chemicals between us
the army of achievers
lying in this bed
there is no lonelier face
than lying in this bed
ENGLISH
FIRE
World news, world news
well you said let's be free
well you said i'll be me
deathrow hearts
are hard to mend
why shoot myself
for your sins
all my love all my love
all my love all my love
well you said retribute
well you said substitute
burn myself on your bed
your crown of thorns
my crown of lead
i'll wake up before i drown
all my love all my love lets be free
all my love all my love lets be free
we'll hang ourselves by the english fire
we'll hang ourselves
all my love all my love lets be free
all my love all my love lets be free
i'll wake up before i drown
all my love lets be free all my love
all my love lets be free
SPACE
TRAVEL
They're
polishing the government
resembles a last waltz
we are the playthings
we are the form
soon it may come
since we can rise
too long since i've seen you
we move like satellites
my future lies
in spacetravel
she's coming over me
they're burning the tenements
topless progressive thinking
political holes
got six but pray for seven
my future lies
in space travel
she's coming over me
i employ spies
to stroll the gravel
they never want to leave
my future lies
my future lies
scared of the government
i'm scared of the government
my future lies
in spacetravel
there's someone after me
i employ spies in silver tassels
they never seem that pleased
my future lies
my future lies
40
MILES FROM THE SUN
there is no where left to hide
there is nothing to be done
no people to be saved
no pets we've never named
40 miles from the sun
as darkness craves the mind
come un-done without our pride
no time on earth to come
all the pleasures just begun
40 miles from the sun
in our coats beneath the layers
wash my skin of all the hate
we should sleep late
everything just kind of grates
40 miles from the sun
like i need to lose to make it right
i'll confront the stars tonight
i will babble i will bite
you'll never know how much you shine
40 miles from the sun
PRIZEFIGHTER
There are days
when i fear for my life
think that's strange
well that's the waste of you
sun up time now for you to run
i will always know you-you're a special one
now i'm up on this climb, up on this climb
i won't fade away
the best is yet to come
sad you're not around
the best is yet to come
better get your feet back on the ground
prisoner or passenger
a free man or scavenger
i'm a prizefighter
prizefighter
who will be there
cover when you fall
we're all chasing something
how come you never call
i thought you were all beautiful
it doesn't make sense, sense, sense
i'm a prizefighter i'm a prizefighter
i'm a prizefighter i'm a prizefighter
THE
DESEASE OF THE DANCING CATS
Infested, polluted
80 tons of mercury dumped in a bay
its bleeding theres no proof
that's no way to treat a good friend
your whisky talks louder
than most things i've read you said
in situ. in place now
sit back unwind and relax
big cheese is all greedy
it's all relative what you needed
happy birthday happy birthday
happy birthday here's your nerve gas
all the fishermen and their families
all sickly crumbling cerebellum
it's all over for urang-a-tans
looks like they're back on the street again
mistrusted, distruptive
rape land and kill a good habitat
world weary, world broken
world spent and money money money money
injected, transmuted
80 tons of mercury dumped in bay
it's breathing-it puts the dog in the basket
all sickly growing sentimental
ivaded, downgraded
your bile lands right on my head
uncalled for, unwanted
my sinking zero tolerance
it's all over for urang-a-tans
looks like they're back on the street again
ALTERED
STATES
Living in a cage washing in a bird bath
sinking in a fishbowl on a broken farm
i try to never lie i really do
i wonder if my friends will get me through
conscious of the way as best we can
17 ways to kill a man
states we've been through
killing nostalgia for future swims
trash all your bridges
kill the rock and roll thing
i want to move on with no complaints
building our walls with yesterday
might as well shine before you slide
might as well live before you die
states we've been through
a whole lot of emptiness
living in a state constant changing
a river of flux for our tasting
i try to never lie i really do
i wonder if my friends will get me through
it always seems to rain when you leave
i try to stem the flow as we bleed
states we've been through
DEAD
MEAT
Your
dead meat from the former days
i am your crisis
blue asbestos in your veins
i'm your broken fingers
i've killed you twice i will again
revenge is eager
see first you'll crash then you'll burn
dorothy died for your pleasure
it's hard to get along in this car crash weather
your dead meat your dead meat your dead meat
your dead meat formaldehyde didn't phase me
i soon returned to track you down for your confession
i'll be your poison and your pain
i'll be your struggle to be sane
exploited lament and the places you never went
dorothy died for your pleasure
it's hard to get along in this car crash weather
i'm doing you in tomorrow
that's why i'm dressed in all this sorrow
i'm doing you in tomorrow
i'll burn before i mellow
dorothy died for your pleasure
it's hard to get along
it's hard to get along
LETTING
THE CABLES SLEEP
you in the dark you in the pain you on the run
living a hell living your ghost
living your end
never seem to get in the place that i belong
don't wanna lose the time
lose the time to come
whatever you say it's alright
whatever you do it's all good
whatever you say it's alright
silence is not the way
we need to talk about it
if heaven is on the way
you in the sea on a decline
breaking the waves
watching the lights go down
letting the cables sleep
silence is not the way
we need to talk about it
if heaven is on the way
we'll wrap the world around it
if heaven is on the way
i'm a stranger in this town
i'm a stranger in this town
MINDCHANGER
help me sometimes, i need that much
don't you think it's strange
how we can turn dust
think it's strange, like really strained
we'll never run when we've got all these broken bones
it's so hard to let you go
but i will make you change your mind
think of me sometimes, i'd never tell
do you recognise me, think that you know me well
i think you're changing, configurating
destoyed the lines
that fed the goods to your heart
it's so hard to let you go
run with the hunted as you come
run with the hunters i was one
but i will make you change your mind
i will make you change your mind
