I used to sleep so well
now it's a living hell
I used to smile so wide
life was a joyful ride
you wanna get me down
you wanna pin me down
you want me hanging on
you want me clinging on
who'd love a monster like you
I can't believe that I do
you like it under my skin
I don't know where to begin
who'd love a monster like you
I can't believe that I do
you like my life in the shade
you wanna keep me afraid
and I'm going away
where you're not gonna stay
every dusk, every dawn
every night, every day
without you
without you
without you
without you
I'm getting nervous now
I'm getting tired now
I'm fighting for my life
I'm living on a knife
oh what a big mistake
why wasn't I awake
I don't know what to do
I've had enough of you
who'd love a monster like you
I can't believe that I do
you like it under my skin
I don't know where to begin
who'd love a monster like you
I can't believe that I do
you like my life in the shade
you wanna keep me afraid
and I'm going away
where you're not gonna stay
every dusk, every dawn
every night, every day
yeah I'm going away
where you're not gonna stay
every dusk, every dawn, every night

Hey there why don't you share
whatever got you to heaven
hold on, counting to one
counting to one from eleven
Living through a revolution for the open air
and he teaches elocution, very debonair
Hey you, how do you do
what do you do for your country
hey there, why don't you care
why don't you care for your country
Living through a revolution for the open air
hey you, what have you there
why don't you share, it looks crunchy
Living through a revolution for the open air
living through a revolution, very debonair
Hey there why don't you share
whatever got you to heaven
have you ever wondered what it's like for someone else
Hold on, counting to one
counting to one from eleven
have you ever wondered what it's like for someone else
Heavy, light, warm, cold
Heavy, light, warm, cold

Beautiful Stars, indifferent Mars
incessant cars, orbital shards
excellent prose, ingrowing toes
terrible shows, everyone knows
Love is the way, everyone pay aahh
love is the way, everyone pay aahh
Ecstasy builds, I'm perfectly still
such colourful pills, I'm starting from nil
super good friends, extremely good Bens
and happiness trends, it's time to pretend
Love is the way, everyone pay aahh
love is the way, everyone pay aahh
love is the way, everyone pay aahh
love is the way, everyone pay aahh

Oh my master, my sweetest lord
goodbye, master goodbye
oh my leader my precious sage
goodnight, leader goodnight
Am I crazy as a loon, I've been howling at the moon
calling for my human rights
all your instincts tell you yes
you're under extreme duress
fighting for your human rights
human rights
You're my scarecrow, my sunburnt thing
goodbye, scarecrow goodbye
you're my robot, my metal god
goodnight, robot goodnight
Am I crazy as a loon, I've been howling at the moon
calling for my human rights
all your instincts tell you yes
you're under extreme duress
fighting for your human rights
human rights
human rights
human rights

Climb a willow tree to reach a branch
cross the English sea to have a chance
walk all night with swans along her back
swim before defence becomes attack
We all have the answer
waiting for the saviour
points for strange behaviour
arm in arm forever
Early bird carved in to antique well
Roman god etched into carousel
miners dig so deep to fuel the war
love arrives dirt cheap along the floor
We all have the answer
waiting for the saviour
points for strange behaviour
arm in arm forever
We all love you, we all love you forever
only, only if you'd listen
We all love you, we all love you forever
only, only if you'd listen well
We all love you, we all love you forever
only, only if you'd listen
We all love you, we all love you forever
only, only if you'd listen well

To the Other Place

Long ago, long ago in the promised land
long ago, long ago with a loving hand
you did not say what you wanted to say
you did not mean what you wanted to mean
Gone with the wind to the other place
gone with the wind to the other place
You do not feel what I want you to feel
you do not hear what I want you to hear
you do not think what I what you to think
you do not learn what I want you to learn
Gone with the wind to the other place
gone with the wind to the other place
Long ago, long ago in the promised land
long ago, long ago with a loving hand
Gone with the wind to the other place
gone with the wind to the other place
Is it too late to be falling in love
Is it too late to be falling in love

Vicious, you hit me with a flower
you do it every hour
oh baby you're so vicious
Vicious, you want me to hit me with a stick
but all I've got's a guitar pick
oh baby you're so vicious
When I watch you come, baby I just wanna run, far away
you're not the kind of person that I wanna stay
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
you're not the kind of person that I wanna meet 'cos you're so vicious
ah you're so vicious
Vicious, hey you hit me with a flower
oh you do it every hour
oh baby you're so vicious
Vicious, why don't you swallow razor blades
you must think I'm sort of joy blade
but baby you're so vicious
When I see you coming I just have to run
you're not good and you certainly aren't very much fun
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
you're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet 'cos you're so vicious
oh baby you're so vicious
ah you're so vicious
ah you're so vicious
ah you're so vicious
ah you're so vicious
ah you're so vicious
oh baby you're so vicious

Hangs a Vulture
02:45
|

|
All your water's blue at midnight
all your enemies have dispersed
all your colour's gone from the sky
all your blood just disappeared
Lizards roam and cacti grow alone
in the air, in the air, in the air hangs a vulture
I don't need no rich girl
I just need some ghosts
I don't need no miracle
I just need rainbows
Bread and roses line a crescent
giant beetles are scared of her
two old people from the painting
think of harvest and stare at her
Lizards roam and cacti grow alone
in the air, in the air, in the air hangs a vulture
I don't need no rich girl
I just need some ghosts
I don't need no miracle
I just need rainbows
I don't need no sermon
I just need more time
time time
time time

Freedom, freedom
freedom. freedom, freedom
freedom, freedom
Moby is the giant of the ocean
Moby is the guardian of the soul
Moby is the teacher of our history
Moby is the master of our kind
His dreams are my dreams and your dreams in time
his voices are my voices entwined
his dreams are my dreams and your dreams in time
all voices are lost under sea
Freedom, freedom
freedom. freedom, freedom
freedom, freedom
Freedom, freedom
freedom. freedom, freedom

Pleasingly Bronzed
02:33
|
|||
|
no one will need to be alone
there are so many in this town
we can play chess or do what we do
If you have nothing in the bank
if you are tired of fighting back
we can bathe in the sun and forget
Achingly broken but pleasingly bronzed
and we like taking drugs all the time
having a good time, having a good time, always some time left!
People are only in their mind
there are so many of a kind
it's a bit like the rats in the sewer
Sometimes we don't know what we want
sometimes we're savaged in a hunt
it's all just foliage and guts everywhere
Achingly broken but pleasingly bronzed
and we like taking drugs all the time
having a good time, having a good time, always some time left!

Ski with Me
03:39

I'm a walking wound
and you're a Neptune moon
I'm an ageing clone
you're a precious stone
you got crying eyes
you got dying eyes
you got lying eyes
you wanna move in
you wanna be with me
you wanna ski with me
you want everything
I'm a wizard's claw
and you're a troubadour
I'm a creaky gate
and you're a life ornate
you got crying eyes
you got dying eyes
you got lying eyes
you wanna move in
you wanna be with me
you wanna ski with me
you want everything
