standing in the shadows at the end of my bed.

THE NATIONAL ANTHEM
everyone
everyone around here
everyone is so near
is holding on.
everyone
everyone around here
everyone has got the fear
is holding on.
HOW TO DISAPPEAR COMPLETELY
that there
that’s not me
I go
where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the liffey
I’m not here
this isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here.
in a little while I’ll be gone
the moment’s already past
yeah it’s gone
and I’m not here
this isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here
strobe lights
and blowing speakers
fireworks
and hurricanes
I’m not here
this isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here.

OPTIMISTIC
flies are buzzing round my head, vultures circling the dead,
picking up every last crumb
the big fish eat the little ones, the big fish eat the little ones,
not my problem give me some
you can try the best you can you can try the best you can, the
best you can is good enough
this one’s optimistic, this one went to market, this one just
came out of the swamp
this one drops a payload, fodder for the animals, living on
animal farm
you can try the best you can you can try the best you
can the best you can is good enough
I’d really like to help you man, I’d really like to help you
man
but I’m a nervous messed up marionette floating round
on a prison ship
you can try the best you can you can try the best you
can the best you can is good enough
you can try the best you can you can try the best
you can

IN LIMBO
(lundy fastnet irish sea I got a message I can’t read)
I’m on your side
nowhere to hide
trap doors that open
I spiral down
(you are living in a fantasy world.)
I’m lost at sea

I’ve lost my way
I’ve lost my way
(you are living in a fantasy world.)
(the most beautiful woman in the world.)
COME BACK!
COME BACK!

MOTION PICTURE SOUNDTRACK
red wine and sleeping pills help me get back to your
arms
cheap sex and sad films help me get where i belong
I think you’re crazy, maybe

I think you’re crazy, maybe
I will see you in the next life

LIKE SPINNING PLATES (‘WHY US?’ VERSION)
why us?
why not someone else, not us?
the cameras are turning off
our lights all run away
and this just feels like spinning plates
our bodies floating down the muddy river
while you make pretty speeches I’m being cut to
shreds
you feed me to the lions. a delicate balance
when this just feels like spinning plates
I’m living in cloud cuckoo land
and this just feels like spinning plates
our bodies floating down the muddy river
FOG (AGAIN AGAIN VERSION)
There’s a little child running round this house
And he never leaves
He will never leave
And the fog comes up from the sewers
And glows in the dark
Baby alligators in the sewers
Grow up fast
Anything you want, it can be done
How?
How did you go bad?
Did you go bad?
IF YOU SAY THE WORD
if you’re in a forest
out of your mind,
harpies in the
branches
breaking your
arms
if you’re stuck
in rainbows
of shattering glass
when you miss the moment
watching it pass.
if you say the word
if you say the word
if you say the word
if you say the word
when you spend your life
wishing on a twinkling star
when you forget
how lucky you are
buried in rubble
sixty foot down
if you say the word
if you say the word
if you say the word
if you say the word
then i’ll come running
when you change your friends
like changing your clothes
if you say the word
if you say the word
if you say the word
if you say the word
then i’ll come running
i’ll come running
FOLLOW ME AROUND
I see you in the dark
Corner of the street
Coming after me
Headlights on full beam
Coming down the fast lane
Coming after me
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
Blowing holes in everything
Thatcher’s children
See you on the way back down
Drooling looney tunes
Moving in a swarm
Moving in a swarm
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
Nowadays I get panicked
I cease to exist
I have ceased to exist
I feel absolutely nothing
The words are out of ink
The words, you know, are out of ink
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
You follow me around
PULK/PULL (TRUE LOVE WAITS VERSION)
I’ll drown my beliefs
To have your babies
I’ll dress like your niece
And wash your swollen feet
Don’t leave
Don’t leave
I’m not living
I’m just killing time
Your tiny hands
Your crazy kitten smile
Don’t leave
Don’t leave
