First topic message reminder :

"Come Home"

Stuck between the do or die, I feel emaciated.
Hard to breathe I try and try, I'll get asphyxiated.
Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to.

Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.

Come home, come home, come home, come home.

Glass and petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane.
Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn't dull the pain.
Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away.

Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday.

Come home, come home, come home, come home,
come home, come home, come home, come home.

Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it
Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it.
Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too.

Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.

Come home, come home, come home, come home,
come home, come home, come home, come home.

"Because I Want You"

Fall into you, is all I seem to do..
When i hit the bottle, coz I'm afraid to be alone.
Tear us in two, is all it seems to do..

As the anger fades, this house is no longer a home,
Don't give up on the dream, don't give up on the wanting, and everything that's true.
Don't give up on the dream, don't give up on the wanting..

Because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you,
because I want you.

Stumble into you, is all i ever do..
My memory's hazy..and I'm afraid to be alone.
Tear us in two, is all it's gonna do..

As the headache fades, this house is no longer a home,
don't give up on the dream, don't give up, ont he wanting,
and everythign that's true.
don't give up on the dream, don't give up on the wanting..

Because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you,
because I want you.

Fall in to you, is all i ever do!
When i hit the bottle, coz I'm afraid to be alone..tear us in two, tear us in two, tear us in two..

Because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you,
because I want you.
Because I want you too,
because I want you too,
because I want you,
because I want you.

"Follow The Cops Back Home"

The call to arms was never true,
Time to imbibe, here's to you,
I'll tell you stories bruised and blue,
Drum machines and landslides.

Just one more round before we're through,
More psychedelic yuppie flu,
It's such a silly thing to do,
Now we're stuck on rewind..

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

The call to arms was never true,
Let's take a ride and push it through,
Suspended animation in blue,
Blame it on apartheid,

Let's spend the night in Jimmy Choo's,
I'll give you coats and cheap shampoo,
I'll give you nothing else to do,
Now we're stuck on rewind..

Let's follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let's follow the cops back home,
And Rob their houses..

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And rob their houses..

The call to arms was never true,
I'm medicated..how are you?
Let's take a dive swim right through,
Sophisticated point of view.

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And Rob their houses..

Let's follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let's follow the cops back home
And rob their houses..

"Post Blue"

It's in the water baby,
It's in the pills that bring you down,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your bag of golden brown,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your frequency,
It's in the water baby,
It's between you and me.

It's in the water baby,
It's in the pills that pick you up,
It's in the water baby,
It's in the special way we fuck,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your family tree,
It's in the water baby,
It's between you and me.

Bite the hand that feeds,
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees..

I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you.

It's in the water baby,
It's in the pills that bring you down,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your bag of golden brown,
It's in the water baby,
It's in your frequency,
It's in the water baby,
It's between you and me.

Bite the hand that feeds,
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees.

I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you,
I'd break the back of love for you.

"Drag"

You're always ahead of the game,
I drag behind,
You never get caught in the rain,
When I'm drenched to the bone every time,
You're the first one to swim across the Seine,
I lag behind,
You're always ahead of the game,
While I drag behind..

I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,

You're always ahead of the pack,
I drag behind,
You possess every trait that I lack,
By coincidence or by design,
You're the monkey I got on my back,
That tells me to shine,
You're always ahead of the pack,
While I drag behind..

I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,

You're always ahead of the rest,
When I'm always on time,
You got A's on your algebra test,
I failed and they kept me behind,
I just gotta get off my chest,
That I think you're divine,
You're always ahead of the rest,
While I drag behind..

I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind,
I drag behind.

"Blind"

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
And guarantee a source divine,
Rid you off possessions fleeting,
Remain your funny valentine.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
I know the best have tried,
I'd fill your every breath with meaning,
And find a place we both could hide.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.

You don't believe me, but you do this every time,
Please don't drive me blind.
Please don't drive me blind..

I know we're broken,
I know we're broken,
I know we're broken.

If I could tear you from the ceiling,
I'd freeze us both in time,
Find a brand new way of seeing..
Your eyes forever glued to mine.

Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind,
Don't go and leave me,
And please don't drive me blind.

I know I broke it,
I know I broke it,
I know I broke it,
I know I broke it.

"Broken Promise"

They rise above this,
They cry about this,
As we live and learn..

A broken promise,
I was not honest,
Now I watch as tables turn,
And you're singing -

I'll wait my turn,
To tear inside you,
Watch you burn,
I'll wait my turn,
I'll wait my turn.

I'll cry about this,
And hide my cuckold eyes,
As you come off all concerned,
And I'll find no solace,
In your poor apology,
In your regret that sounds absurd,
And keep singing -

I'll wait my turn,
To tear inside you,
Watch you burn..
And I'll wait my turn,
To terrorize you,
Watch you burn..
And I'll wait my turn,
I'll wait my turn.

And this is a promise -
Promise is a promise,
Promise is a promise,
Promise is a promise.

And I'll wait my turn,
To tear inside you,
Watch you burn,
I'll wait my turn,
I'll wait my turn.

A broken promise,
You were not honest!
I'll bide my time
I'll wait my, turn.

"Pierrot The Clown"

Leave me dreaming on the bed, see you right back here tomorrow, for the next round.
Keep this scene inside your head, as the bruises turn to yellow, and the swelling goes down.

And if you're ever around, in the city or the suburbs, of this town,
Be sure to come around, I'll be wallowing in sorrow, wearing a frown, like pierrot the clown.

Saw you crashing 'round the bay, never seen you act so shallow, or look so brown.
Remembered all the things you'd say, how your promises went hollow, as you threw me to the ground.

And if you're ever around, in the backstreets or the alleys, of this town.
Be sure to come around, I'll be wallowing in pity, wearing a frown, like pierrot the clown.

When i dream, i dream if your lips,
when i dream, i dream of your kiss,
when i dream, i dream of your fists,
your fists,
your fists..

Leave me bleeding on the bed, see you right back here tomorrow, for the next round.
Keep this scene inside your head, as the bruises turn to yellow, and the swelling goes down..

And if you're ever around, in the city or the suburbs, of this town, be sure to come around, I'll be
wallowing in sorrow, wearing a frown, like pierrot the clown,
pierrot the clown,
pierrot the clown,
pierrot the clown,
pierrot the clown.

"One Of A Kind"

On top of the world you get nothing done,
Talk is cold and burns like the sun,
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Coz on top of the world is where I'm from..
The back of the class is where I was,
Keeping quiet, playing dumb,
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Coz the back of the class is where I'm from ..

And I am one,
I am .
I am one,
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am.

I'm in a race and it's killing time,
I don't need yours I'll keep it with mine,
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Coz I'm in a race and I'm doing fine,
Thank you.

Two of a kind and no one home,
I'm in a crowd and I'm still alone,
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
Cos one of a kind is all I own..

I am one,
I am.
I am one,
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am.

Out of the womb and into the void,
I wanna try but I get annoyed,
Can't you see these skies are breaking?
So out of the womb and into the void.

I am one,
I am.
I am one,
I am I am I am I am.
I am one,
I am.
I am one,
I am I am I am I am I am.

On top of the world you get nothing done.

"Lazarus"

It's horrid to see you again
Now that you're back from the dead
It's horrid to see you again
So bored of being you

It's horrid to see you again
Now that you're back from the dead
It's horrid to see you again
So bored of being
Alive
Alive
Alive

It's horrid to see you again
Acting like you're on some kind of cross
It's horrid to see you again
An emotional retard

It's horrid to see you again
Unaware that all may not be lost
It's horrid to see you again
So bored of being
Alive [7x]

It's horrid to see you again
Walking around with that egg on your face
It's horrid to see you again
So full of apathy

It's horrid to see you again
Caught in a trap you cannot escape
It's horrid to see you again
So bored of being
Alive [7x]

"In The Cold Light Of Morning"

In cold light of morning while, everyone is yawning,
You're high,
In the cold light of morning the party gets boring, you're high.
As your skin starts to scratch and wave yesterdays action goodbye..

Forget past indiscretions,
And stolen possessions,
You're high,
In the cold light.

In the cold light of morning, while everyone's yawning,
You're high.
In the cold light of morning ,
You're drunk sick from whoring and high,
Staring back from the mirrors,
A face that you don't recognise..
It's a loser, a sinner, a cock in a dildo's disguise,
In the cold light.

Tomorrow,
Tomorrow,
Tomorrow,
As your skin starts to scratch,
And wave yesterdays action goodbye.

Forget past indiscretions,
And stolen possessions,
You're high.
In the cold light of day..

Tomorrow is only a kettle
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
whistle,
Away ..

In the cold light of day.

"Song To Say Goodbye"

You are one of God's mistakes,
You crying, tragic waste of skin,
I'm well aware of how it aches ,
And you still won't let me in.
Now I'm breaking down your door,
To try and save your swollen face ,
Though I don't like you anymore,
You lying, trying waste of space..

Before our innocence was lost,
You were always one of those ,
Blessed with lucky sevens ,
And the voice that made me cry .
My Oh My.

You were mother nature's son ,
Someone to whom I could relate ,
Your needle and your damage done,
Remains a sordid twist of fate.
Now I'm trying to wake you up ,
To pull you from the liquid sky ,
Coz if I don't we'll both end up ,
With just your song to say goodbye.
My Oh My.

A song to say goodbye,
A song to say goodbye ,
A song to say...

Before our innocence was lost,
You were always one of those,
Blessed with lucky sevens,
And the voice that made me cry.

It's a song to say goodbye.

"Running Up That Hill"

[Kate Bush cover]

It doesn't hurt me.
You wanna feel how it feels?
You wanna know, know that it doesn't hurt me?
You wanna hear about the deal I'm making?
You be running up that hill
You and me be running up that hill

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building.
If I only could, oh...

You don't want to hurt me,
But see how deep the bullet lies.
Unaware that I'm tearing you asunder.
There is thunder in our hearts, baby.
So much hate for the ones we love?
Tell me, we both matter, don't we?

You, be running up that hill
You and me, be running up that hill
You and me won't be unhappy.

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
Be running up that building,
If I only could, oh...

'C'mon, baby, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let me steal this moment from you now.
C'mon, angel, c'mon, c'mon, darling,
Let's exchange the experience, oh...'

And if I only could,
Make a deal with God,
And get him to swap our places,
Be running up that road,
Be running up that hill,
With no problems [x2]

'If I only could, be running up that hill.' [x7]

"UNEEDMEMORETHANINEEDU"

To call in silence
To call in starts
Come together some
And so far it works
So call
Before you come down...

Somebody says
He's been around
And somebody says
It's been around...
It's been around...
It's been around...

Well now you need me more than I need you
Well now you need me more than I need you

Somebody says...
He's been around
And somebody says
It's been around...

Well now you need me more than I need you
Well now you need me more than I need you

Well now you need me more than I need you
Well now you need me more than I need you...

"Kitty Litter"

The way you're dancing
Makes me come alive
Makes me shiver and perspire
Your surreptitious glancing
The way you crack a smile
Nearly start a fire

So move closer
I wanna feel your touch
So come over
Come on

[Chorus:]
Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Feels much weaker
Now we're apart
Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change

The way you're moving
Hips from side to side
Makes you all that I desire
Bathsheba of my choosing and I'm so unsatisfied
You're all that I require

So move closer
Gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on

So move closer
Gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on

[Chorus]

I need a change of skin
I need a change

I need a change, I need a change of skin [x4]

[Chorus]

"Ashtray Heart"

Cenicero, mi cenicero
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X2]

You are the birth and you are waste
You are the one who took my place
You took a jump into forever
A leap of faith I could not take

And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

You were alone before we met
No more folorn than one could get
How could we know
We had found treasure
How sinister and how correct

And it was
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

I tore the muscle from your chest
Used it to stub out cigarettes
I listened to your screams of pleasure
And I watch the bed sheets turn blood red

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

Cenicero, mi cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi corazón, mi cenicero
[X4]

"Battle For The Sun"

I, I, I, will battle for the sun, sun, sun.
And I, I, I wont stop until I'm done, done, done.
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way.
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say.

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt.
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn't hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt.
You, you, you, you, you, are a black and heavy weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight.
And I, I, I, I, I, will not participate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate.

Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun.
Cause I, I, I, have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun.
No fun, you, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake.
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones you couldnt break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break!

Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.

[Instrumental Solo]

Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.
Dream brother, my killer, my lover.

I, I, I will battle for the sun.

"Devil In The Details"

I've been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details
I got no energy to fight
He is a fucking pal o'mine
That devil in the details
And he is fixing up to take a bite
I don't see the point in try
I've got the devil in the details
He's gonna teach me wrong from right
That fucking pal o'mine the devil in the details
I'm gonna dance with him tonight

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs i hope to write someday
Looks like the devil is here to stay

Let me take you for a ride with the
Devil in the details
We'll kiss and tremble with the delight
Everything is fine with the devil in the details
We're gonna dance with Him tonight

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs i hope to write someday
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay

All of my wrongs, and all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me, come what may
For all of the songs i hope to write someday
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay
Looks like the devil is here to stay

I've been wasting all my time
With the devil and the details

"Bright Lights"

Cast your mind back to the days,
When I pretend' I was OK.
I had so very much to say,
About my crazy livin'.
Now that I've stared into the void,
So many people, I've annoyed.
I have to find a middle way,
A better way of givin'.

So I haven't given up,
But all my choices, my good luck...
Appear to go and get me stuck,
In an open prison.
Now I am tryin' to break free,
Be in a state of empathy.
Find the true and inner me,
Eradicate this schism.

No-one can take it away from me,
And no-one can tear it apart.
'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.

A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
No-one can take it away from me,
No-one can tear it apart.
It may be elaborate fantasy,
But it's the perfect place to start.

'Cause a heart that hurts,
Is a heart that works.
A heart that hurts,
Is a heart that... works.

"For What It's Worth"

The end of the century
I said my goodbyes
For what it's worth
I always aimed to please
But I nearly died

For what it's worth
Come on lay with me
'Cause I'm on fire
For what it's worth
I tear the sun in three
To light up your eyes

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

Broke up the family
Everybody cried
For what it's worth
I have a slow disease
That sucked me dry
For what it's worth
Come on walk with me
Into the rising tide
For what it's worth
Filled a cavity
Your god shaped hole tonight

For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth
For what it's worth

No one cares when you're out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No one cares when you're down in the gutter
Got no friends, got no lover

No one cares when you're out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
No one cares when you're down in the gutter
Got no friends, got no lover

For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover
For what it's worth
Got no lover

Got no friends got no lover

"Speak In Tongues"

Kitty came back home from on the island
But kitty came on home without a name
She and me's a history for violence
So I long, I burn to touch her just the same

So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues

Every single sense in me is heightened
There's nothing left inside to rearrange
Like a slave to history and science
I long, I burn to touch you just the same

So we both can both can speak in tongues
So we both can both can speak in tongues

Until the universe is done
And the course of time has run
So we both can both can speak in tongues

Don't let them get their way
Don't let them have their way
You're beautiful and so blas©
So please don't let them have their way
Don't fall back into the decay
There is no law we must obey
So please don't let them have their way
Don't give in to yesterday

We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today

"The Never-Ending Why"

The atom will implode
The fragile kingdom fold
The tremor becomes a quake
And there's a body in the lake

And as the two of us rebel
Damn you all to hell
I wonder if that's all there is

Time will help you through
But it doesn't have the time
To give you all the answers to the never-ending why

The sound of silence grows
As the spider'' kiss is laid
The tumor becomes malign
But the kids are doing fine

And as the two of us rebel
And damn you all to hell
I wonder if that's all there is

Time will help you through
But it doesn't have the time
To give you all the answers to the never-ending why

"Happy You're Gone"

Breathe me every time you close your eyes
Taste me every time you cry
This memory will fade away and die
Just for today, breathe me and say goodbye

How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye

See me, in the eyes of another's child
Turn away, when you see me walking by
Once in a while
This melody will fade away and die
Just for today, breathe me and say goodbye

How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye

And I don't even want to try
My my
'Cause every word from you is a lie
My my

How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye
Now I can't look you in the eye
How many times? How many times?
Now I can't look you in the eye

"Julien"

The playback is here
Take a look, is all around you
You though you'd never shed a tear
So this must astound you, and must confound you
Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain't no singing in the rain
This is a twister that will destroy you

You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide

Fallen angles in the night
And everyone is barred from Heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But evryone turns into seven
Now hat it's snowing in your brain
Another ten will not placate you
This ain't no killer for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you

You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can rely
Julien, you're being taken for a ride

You can run but you can't hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you're a slow motion suicide

Slow-motion suicide [x9]

"Breathe Underwater"

Here comes another fall from grace
I'm always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace
For the love
I'm trying to replace
I to kill the song
'Cause the melody's all wrong
And there's a fever coming on
It's hard to recocile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breath underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for the air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride
'Cause there's nobody by my side
It's getting hard to justify
And it won't be long 'till I collide
My weakness is laid bare
As people stop and stare
But it's the last time I swear
It's hard to reconcile
What I've become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breath underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing

Breath underwater
I'm coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I'm coming up for air
'Cause I've been floating here too long

I'm coming
I'm coming
I'm coming
Coming up for air
Coming up for air
Coming up for air

"Come Undone"

You don't know how you're coming across
You don't know what you're coming across
You don't know who you're coming across
You don't know how you're coming across
So you come undone

You don't know how you're coming across
Acting like you don't give a toss
Walking around like you're on some kind of cross
And it's a shame on you, the irony's lost
When you come undone
You come undone
You know, you come undone
You know, you know, you know

You don't know how you're coming across
You don't know how you're coming across
And I don't think that you're aware of the cost

So you come undone
You come
You come undone
You know, you know, you know
