YOU

You are the sun and moon and stars are you
And I could never run away from you
You try at working out chaotic things
And why should I believe myself not you?
You say the world is going to end so soon
And why should I believe myself?
You me and everything caught in the fire
I can see me drowning
Caught in the fire

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 fucking 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 fucking 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 ….

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so fucking 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
I don’t belong here.

HOW DO YOU?

He’s bitter and twisted, he knows what he wants
He wants to be loved and he wants to belong
He wants us to listen, he wants us to weep
He was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak
But how do you?
He lives with his mother, but we show him respect
He’s a dangerous bigot, but we always forget
And he’s just like his daddy
Because he cheats on his friends
And steals and he bullies
Anyway that he can.
But how do you?

STOP WHISPERING

And the wise man say I don’t want to hear your voice
And the thin man say I don’t want to hear your voice
But they’re cursing me, and they won’t let me be
And there’s nothing to say, and there’s nothing to do
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
And my mother say we don’t love you son no more
And the buildings say we spit on your face some more
And the feeling is, that there’s something wrong
Because I can’t find the words and I can’t find the songs.
Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting
Dear Sir, I have a complaint, can’t remember what it is

THINKING ABOUT YOU

Been thinking about you, your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But I’m still no one, and you’re now a star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you, and there’s no rest
Shit I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I’m playing with myself
And what do you care when I’m not there
All the things you got
All the things you need
Who bought your cigarettes?
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?
Been thinking about you

ANYONE CAN PLAY GUITAR

Destiny, destiny protect me from the world
Destiny, hold my hand protect me from the world
Here we are with our running and confusion,
And I don’t see no confusion anywhere..
And if the worm does turn

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, grow my hair I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair, I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison
Here we are with our running and confusion,
And I don’t see no confusion anywhere..
And if the worm does turn

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

RIPCORD

Soul destroyed
With clever toys
For little boys
It’s inevitable, it’s inevitable
It’s a soul destroyed
You’re free until you drop
You’re free ’til you’ve had enough
And you don’t understand –
You’ve no ripcord

Aeroplane do I mean what I mean?
It’s inevitable, inevitable,
Oh aeroplane
A thousand miles an hour
On politics and power that you don’t understand
And no ripcord
The answer to your prayers
We’ll drop you anywheres
With no ripcord

VEGETABLE

I never wanted anything but this
I tried hard, worked hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died hard
Every time you’re running over me
Every time you’re running I can see

I’m not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and I asphyxiate
And I burn all hate
Every time you’re running out on me
Every time you’re running I can see

I’m not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

The waters break, the waters run all over me
The waters break, the waters run
And this time you’re gonna pay

I’m not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

PROVE YOURSELF

I can’t afford to breathe in this town
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to my cathode ray
I’m better off dead
‘Prove Yourself’
I wanna breathe I wanna grow
I’d say I want it but I don’t know how
I work, I bleed, I beg, I pray
But I’m better off dead
‘Prove Yourself’
Why?

I CAN’T

Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasn’t me it was my strange and creeping doubt
It keeps rattling my cage
And there’s nothing in this world
Will keep it down.
Even though I might, even though I try
I can’t
So many things that keep, that keep me under ground
So many words that I, that I can never find
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
I can’t
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
I can’t.

LURGEE

I feel better, I feel better now you’ve gone
I feel better, I feel strong
I got better,
I got better now there’s nothing wrong
I got better, I got better, I got strong

Tell me something, tell me something I don’t know,
Tell me one thing, tell me one thing and let it go
I got something, I got something heaven knows,
I got something, I got something I don’t know.

BLOW OUT

In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time
Killing what I feel –
And everything I touch turns to stone

I am fused
Just in case I blow out
I am glued
Just in case I crack out
And everything I touch turns to stone
Everything I touch turns to stone

STUPID CAR

I find it hard to drive your stupid car
I find it hard ’cause I never get that far
And you put my brain into overload
I can’t change gear
I cannot see the road
You got concrete eyes
But I cannot see your face
And I failed in life
‘Cause you crushed me with your hands
And you put my brain in overload
I can’t change gear
I cannot see the road

INSIDE MY HEAD

What do you want from me?
Now you’ve got me
Now my fingers bleed
Now they stare 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’ve 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

It’s inside my head
Inside of my head
Whatever you put in that syringe
Whatever you really said to him
Is sitting there inside of me
And you bother me
You possess 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

MILLION DOLLAR QUESTION

Was always waiting for the crush
The car to drive right through the shops
To call in sick and late for 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
I’ll tell you ‘cos you’ll understand
And if it’s alright, I’ll beg you
Because I’m a begging man

Today I wrote a bad cheque
Packed a bag and took a jet
But no-one’s looking anyway
I hope they miss me
(Sometimes I think maybe I’m making a big mistake)

YES I AM

I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I don’t have a choice

Anywhere I go
You are always there
Outside the car or in hair
I think I’ve been here before
But last time you locked all the doors

So I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that I don’t have a choice

And yes I am, weary, yes I am

I think I told you once
Think I needed advice
You were such a help, that’s very nice

Think I’ve been here before
Yes I’ve been here before
But this time I’ll kick down your door

And yes I am, weary, yes I am

CREEP (acoustic)

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 (very) 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 fucking 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 ….

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
You’re so very 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
I don’t belong here.

FAITHLESS, THE WONDERBOY

I’ve had these jeans since I was born
And now they’re ripped and now they’re torn
And all of 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
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 got disease and it’s got my head
It always runs where I hide
Too scared to talk
Too scared to try
Too scared to know the reasons why
And all my friends said 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

COKE BABIES

Easy living, easy hold
Easy teething, easy fold
Easy listening, easy love
Easy answers to easy questions
Easy tumble, easy fall
Easy rumble, easy doll
I get up on easy love
I get up on easy questions

BANANA CO. (acoustic)

Oh Banana co.
We really love you and we need you
And oh, banana co.
We’d really love to believe you but…
Everything’s burning down
We’ve got to put it out somehow

Oh, she said no go
She said she’d like to
She’s seen you but no, no go
She says if you die then we all do
And everything’s underground
We gotta dig it up somehow

NOTHING TOUCHES ME

Nothing touches me man
These walls are three feet thick
Wouldn’t take more than one dr
I try to make her listen
When I turn away she’s split
She went
‘Nothing me man’
