2 2 5

Are you such a dreamer?
To put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever
Where two & two always
makes up five

I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag & hide
January has April's showers
And two & two always
makes up five

It's the devil's way now
There is no way out
You can scream & you
can shout
It is too late now
Because

You have not been
paying attention

I try to sing along
I get it all wrong
Ezeepeezeeeezeepeeezee
NOT
I swat em like flies but
Like flies the burgers
Keep coming back
NOT
Maybe not
All hail to the thief
But I am not!
Don't question my authority
or put me in the dock
Cozimnot!
Go & tell the king that
The sky is falling in
When it's not
Maybe not.

(ahh diddums.)

A PUNCHUP AT A WEDDING

no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
i don't know why you bother
nothing's ever good enough for you
i was there and it wasn't like that
you came here just to start a fight

you had to piss on our parade
you had to shred our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
in a drunken punchup at a wedding.

hypocrite opportunist
don't infect me with your poison
a bully in a china shop
when i turn round stay frozen to the spot.

you had to piss on our parade
you had to shred our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
in a drunken punchup at a wedding.

the pointless snide remarks
of hammerheaded sharks
the pot will call the kettle black

in a drunken punchup at a wedding.
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

A REMINDER

If I get old, I will not give in
But if I do, remind me of this.
Remind me that, once I was free,
Once I was cool, once I was me.
And if I sat down, and crossed my arms,
Hold me into, this song.
Knock me out, smash out my brains,
If I take a chair, start to talk shit.....
If I get old, remind me of this:
That night we kissed, and I really meant it.

Whatever happens, if we're still speaking.
Pick up the phone, play me this song.

AIRBAG

In the next world war
in a jack knifed juggernaut
I am born again
In the neon sign scrolling up and down
I am born again

In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep of the innocent I am born again
In a fast german car I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst I am back to save the universe

ANYONE CAN PLAY GUITAR

Destiny...

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I don't see no confusion anywhere

And if London burns
I'll be standing on the beach
with my guitar
I wanna be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they won't
be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair...

BACKDRIFTS

We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose
One gust and we will probably crumble
We're backdrifters

This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink
Oh honey sweet
So full of sleep
I'm backsliding

You fell into our arms
You fell into our arms
We tried but there was nothing we could do
Nothing we could do

All evidence has been buried
All tapes have been erased
But your footsteps give you away
So you're backtracking

BIG BOOTS (AKA MAN O WAR)

Drift all you like
From ocean to ocean
Search the whole world
But drunken confessions
And hijacked affairs will
Just make you more alone

If you come home
I'll bake you a cake
Made of all their eyes
I wish you could see me
Dressed for the kill
What a nasty surprise
You're my man o war

And the worms will come for you
Big Boots

So unplug the phones
Stop all the taps
It all comes flooding back
From poisoned cloud
To poisoned dwarf
What a nasty surprise
You're my man o war

And the worms will come for you
Big boots
Yeah the worms will come for you

BIG IDEAS (AKA NUDE)

Don't get any big ideas
they're not gonna happen
You paint your house white
and feel the noise
but they'll be something missing

Just when you've found it, it's gone
Just when you feel it, you don't
??

Don't get any big ideas
they're not going to happen
You'll go to hell for what your dirty mind is thinking

Just when you've found it, its gone
Just when you feel it, you don't
??


Sometimes Thom adds this verse when performing:

She stands stark naked and she beckons you to bed
don't go, you'll only want to come back again

Dressed in bishop's robes

CLIMBING UP THE WALLS

I am the key to the lock in your house,
that keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside,
you'll only see my reflection
It's always best when the light is off,
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm,
we're friends till we die

And either way you turn,
I'll be there, open up your skull
I'll be there, climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is off,
it's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of my head,
fifteen blows to your mind
So tuck the kids in safe tonight,
shut the eyes in the cupboard
So not cry out or hit the alarm,
you'll get the loneliest feeling

That either way you turn,
I'll be there, open up your skull
I'll be there, climbing up the walls

Climb up the walls. climb up the walls

CREEP

When you were here before
Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
You're so fuckin' special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

I don't care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

She's running out again,
She's running out
She's run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You're so fuckin' special
I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here.

Hold you till the arms are sore
Until you cannot feel it any more
Hold you till the arms are sore
Until you find an open door

I built you up to pull you down
Tie you to your feet, and watch you drown
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
A little bit of knowledge will destroy you
I built you up to pull you down
Tie you to the stake, and watch you crying out

I dont know why I feel so tongue tied
I dont know why I feel so skinned alive
I'll find another skin to wear

EL PRESIDENT

It came from the skies
It burst throught the gates
With no mercy or disguise
With their hearts set out in flames
I know I've seen the master plan

Well I'm just a man

All the people understand
For they all fell down and prayed
I know I've seen the master plan

They've killed the president
They've killed the president

It came from the skies
In all shades of green
We can always justify
We can measure up your dreams
I know I've seen the master plan

They've killed the president

They've killed the president
They've killed the president
They've killed the president

When I go forwards, you go backwards,

Riot shields, voodoo economics,

When I go forwards, you go backwards,

EXIT MUSIC (FOR A FILM)

Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears, today we escape, we escape
Pack and get dressed,
before your father hears us, before, all hell breaks loose
Breathe, keep breathing,
don't lose your nerve, breathe, keep breathing
I can't do this alone
Sing us a song, a song to keep us warm,
there's such a chill, such a chill

You can laugh a spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom
choke you now we are one in everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke

We hope that you choke, that you choke

FAITHLESS, THE WONDER BOY

I've had these jeans since i was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards

I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But mom and dad will not give in

And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
No I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

And now I know just what it is
It's called disease and it's got my head
It always runs where I hide

Too scared too talk, too scared to try
Too scared to know the reasons why
And all my friends say bye bye

And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
No I can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in

No I can't put the needle in

FITTER HAPPIER

Fitter, happier,
more productive,
comfortable, not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym, 3 days a week
Getting on better
with your associate employee contemporaries at ease
Eating well,
no more microwave dinners and saturated fats
A patient better driver, a safer car,
baby smiling in back seat
Sleeping well, no bad dreams, no paranoia
Careful to all animals,
never washing spiders down the plughole
Keep in contact with old friends, enjoy a drink now and then
Will frequently check credit at moral bank, hole in wall
Favors for favors, fond but not in love
Charity standing orders
on sundays ring road supermarket
No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants
Car wash, also on sundays,
no longer afraid
of the dark or midday shadows
Nothing so ridiculously teenage
and desperate nothing so childish
At a better pace,
slower and more calculated, no chance of escape
Now self employed, concerned, but powerless
An empowered and informed member of society,
pragmatism not idealism
Will not cry in public,
less chance of illness,
tires that grip in the wet
Shot of baby strapped in back seat,
a good memory still cries at a good film
Still kisses with saliva,
no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick
That's driven into frozen winter shit,
the ability to laugh at weakness
Calm fitter, healthier
and more productive a pig in a cage on antibiotics

FOG

There's a little child
Running round this house
And he never leaves

And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark

Did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
Somethings will never wash away
Did you go bad?

Will I see you again?
If so much of me

I AM A WICKED CHILD

Mother mary come to me
Cause I am a wicked child
I have sinned and I am so confused and I am a wicked child
I am a wicked child

I am the devils son and I wish I could be good for you
I walk a crooked mile
but I wish I could be good
I wish I could be good

If I could have kept the straight and narrow
If I could have kept the straight and narrow
And not have broke your heart
Not have broke your heart

Now I wake up in the night
Lying on my bed
It's tugging at my arms and legs
Like I was a marionette

Send baby Jesus
Surely it is time
Send baby jesus
Let him radiate his light
Radiate his light

They keep drivin' in my cage
There's nothing in this world to keep the time

Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I can't

See the things that keep, keep me uninvolved
Silly words that I, that I can't live without

If you give up on me now,
I'll be gutted like I've never been before

Even though I might,
Even though I try,

Think about the good times

Never look back

INDIA RUBBER

Did it all for you to say
You never wanted me that way
Now the dogs have had their meat
I think i will go plug in the mains

I tumble like a cloud
Before you burn in hell
I suffocate myself into your hair

Will the sparrow make her smile
I'm instantly your biggest fan
How was i to know
that you practised it before hand?

I tumble like a cloud
Before you burn in hell
I suffocate myself into your hair

INSIDE MY HEAD

What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my fingers bleed
Now they're staring at me
I'm a coward now
I hold my peace

Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And I twist and turn in a chinese burn
You won't let go
You won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my energy you suck from me
And I'm holding on for dear life

Quit smothering me
Quit laughing at me
I've got a disease
An English disease
It won't let go
It won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head

What did you put in that syringe?
Whatever you really said to him?
Is sitting there, inside of me

And you bother me
You posess me
You're there again
Ahead of me
And I won't let go
I won't let go

You're inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head

he's been hanging around for days.
comes like a comet,
suckered you but not your friends.
one day he'll get to you,
teach you how to be a holy cow.

don't get my sympathy hanging out the 15th floor.
you've changed the locks 3 times,
he still comes reeling through the door.
and soon he'll get to you,
teach you how to get to purest hell.

you do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts is
you do it to yourself just you,
you and no one else
you do it to yourself.

To hard on the brakes again,
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get outta the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?

I'm going out on a little drive,
and it could be the last time I see you alive
There could be an idiot on the road,
The only kick in life is pumping that steel.
Lock me up in the back of the trunk,
packed with foam and blind drunk.

They won't ever catch me alive, cause they all drive..

Don't die on the motorway,
The moon would freeze, the plants would die,
I couldn't cope if you crashed today,
All the things I forgot to say,

I'm going out on the little drive,
and it could be the last time I see you alive,
There could be an idiot on the road,
the only kick in life if pumping that steel,
Lock me up in the back of the trunk,
packed with foam and blind drunk.

They won't ever catch me alive, cause they all drive...

Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, hey.. hey..

Look into my eyes

Look into my eyes

So knives out
Cook him up
Squash his head
Put him in the pot

He's bloated and frozen
Still there's no point in letting it go to waste

So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head

LET DOWN

Transport, motorways and tram lines
Starting and then stopping, taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings disappointed people
clinging onto bottles and
When it comes its so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing wings twitch,
legs are going
Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around let down again

You know, you know where you are with you,
know where you are
With floor collapses floating,
bouncing back and one day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Just swallow your guilt and your crutches
Blue and white birds stop and hide on the pedal
Interstate fire walk staright down the middle,
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby burn

MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

Was always waiting for the crush
The car to drive right through the shops
To call in sick and late at work
And take a holiday

Was always tangled up in knots
To keep myself from speaking up
But no one's listening anyway
Just trying to bribe me

And if it's alright
Then what are we doing here?
And if it's alright
This place is gassed by fear
And if it's alright
I'll tell you cos you never understand
And if it's alright I'll beg you
'Cause I'm a begging kind of man

Today I wrote a bad cheque
Packed a bag and took a jet
And no one's looking anyway
I hope you miss me

(Sometimes I think maybe I'm making a big mistake)

i slept with who i liked
she ate me up for breakfast
and screwed me in a vice

and now i don't know why
i feel so tongue tied

i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down in neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled, beaten up
used as a photo in Time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in Devon

i don t know why
i feel so tongue tied

don t know why
i feel so skinned alive.

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis

I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to fire upon the house
I didn't feel pain
Cause no one can touch me
Now that i'm held in your smile

Can turn your world into doubt
Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
Oh

PYRAMID SONG

I jumped in the river and what did I see?
Black eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
All the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

I jumped into the river
Black eyed angels swam with me
A moon full of stars and astral cars
And all the things I used to see
All my lovers were there with me
All my past and futures
And we all went to heaven in a little row boat
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt
There was nothing to fear and nothing to doubt

RABBIT IN YOUR HEADLIGHTS

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Scared of the spotlight
You don't come to visit
I'm stuck on this bed

Thin rubber gloves
She laughs when she's crying
She cries when she's laughing

Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
Washed down the toilet
Money to burn

Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away

If you're frightened of dying and then you hold on
You'll see devils tearing your life away
But, if you've made your peace
Then the devils are really angels
Freeing you from the Earth... from the Earth

White worms on the underground
Caught between stations
Butter fingers
I'm losing my patience

I'm a rabbit in your headlights
Christian suburbanite
You got money to burn

Fat bloody fingers are sucking your soul away... away... away..

REMYXOMATOSIS

The mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said i been where i liked
i slept with who i liked
she ate me up for breakfast
and screwed me in a vice

and now i don't know why
i feel so tongue tied

i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down in neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled, beaten up
used as a photo in Time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in Devon

i don t know why
i feel so tongue tied

don t know why
i feel so skinned alive.

My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis

now no one likes a smart arse but we all like stars
that wasn't my intention, I did it for a reason
it must have got mixed up
strangled, beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis

i don t know why

And how much did it cost?

You'll build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
Sail us to the moon

rows of houses all bearing down on me
i can feel their blue hands touching me
all these things in all positions
all these things will one day take control

and the strain i am under
be a world child form a circle before we all go under
and fade out again and fade out again

scream as they fight for life
i can feel death can see it's beady eyes
all these things into frution
all these things we'll one day swallow whole

STUPID CAR

To drive your stupid car
I find it hard
Cause I never get that far
And you put my brain in overload
And I can't change gears

And I failed in life
Cause you crushed me with your hands
And you put my brain in overload

SUBTERRANEAN HOMESICK ALIEN

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can't smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
Up above aliens hover making home movies
for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets

They're all uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight

I wish that they'd swoop down
in the country lane late at night when I'm driving
Take me onboard their beautiful ship
show me the weird world as I'd love to see it
I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely
I'd show them the stars
and the meaning of life they'd shut me away
But I'll be all right, all right
I'm all right, all right

I'm just uptight, uptight, uptight, uptight

SULK

you bite through the big wall
the big wall bites back
you sit there and sulk
sit there and bawl

eager to please

sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
god rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've already gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

each time it comes
it eats me alive
i try to behave
but it eats me alive
so i declare a holiday
fall asleep
drift away.

Your eyes are on my wall,
your teeth are over there

But I'm still no one,
and you're my star

What do you care?

Been thinking about you,
and there's no rest

Should I still love you,
still see you in bed

When I'm playing with myself?
What do you care
when the other men are far, far better?

All the things you got,
all the things you need
I bought you cigarettes,
and pried the company
to come and see you,
honey

I've been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
Those people aren't your friends, they're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know.
Why should you care when I'm not there?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
When I'm playing with myself?
What do you care when I'm not there?

All the things you got
that you'll never need
all the things you got
I bled and
I bleed to please you

Been thinking

On screen
Impossible dream
And I have seen
The sunrise
Over the river
The freeway
Reminding
Of this mess we re in and

The city sun sets over me

What were you wanting?
I just want to say
Don t ever change now baby
And thank you
I don t think we ll ever meet again
And you must leave now
Before the sunrise
Above skyscrapers
The sin and
The mess we re in and
