from my head to my toe
there is some way to go
in my body there's a life
in my head there's a wife
and I'm scared to the bone
I will flee from my home
all my hard work is undone
won't you hand me a gun
give me another second chance
give me another song and dance
we need to go to France
cool protection, cool protection, of a hollow dream
cool protection, cool protection, of a hollow dream
from my birth to my death
I will make not one breath
when the clock falls off the wall
I'll have no one left to call
I'll be aching for you then
like I'm aching for you now
It's genetic suicide, I'll have nothing to hide
give me another second chance
give me another song and dance
we need to go to France
echoes in my bloody vein
echoes in my eye
echoes in the starry sky tonight
cool protection, cool protection, of a hollow dream
cool protection, cool protection, of a hollow dream

For The Better
02:10

when I am old with what I can hold
will something have changed, for the better
when I am young, when I've had fun
will something have changed
for the better
for the better
for the better
for the better
when I am one, when I have won
will something have changed
for the better
when I am done
and when I have come
to the end of the pain
for the better
for the better
for the better
for the better
for the better
for the better
for the better
for the better

Goodnight And So Long
02:51
|

You wait until I'm gone
you wait until I'm dead
you wait until I fall asleep
then you stab me in the head
you wait until I'm fine
you wait until I'm sad
you wait until you shut me out
then you put me in a bag
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
you nearly cut my wrists
you nearly cut my throat
you nearly took me from behind
you nearly threw me over a boat
you nearly crushed my hand
you nearly broke my arm
you nearly tore me limb from limb
I never came to any harm
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long
goodnight and so long

You Do Then You Don't

you do then you don't
you call then you won't
your phone isn't broke
you didn't understand
you do then you don't
you call then you won't
your phone isn't broke
I'm the only dancer in the sun
I am just a frame, a card I'm no one
I am just a baby on the run
I am but a liver, belly or lung
I'm the only bastard left to come
I am just a guy, a gal I'm no one
I am just a person to be hung
see you everywhere, I see you everywhere
I know deep down, I know deep down you love me you're the only one that will put up with me
I know deep down, I know deep down you love me you're the only one that will look up to me
throwing time away with some new eyes
pricey dicey spirit world and ugly smile
fringes verses middle of the road
see you everywhere I see you everywhere
you do then you don't you call then you won't
your phone isn't broke you didn't understand
you do then you don't you call then you won't
your phone isn't broke
I know deep down, I know deep down you love me you're the only one that will put up with me
I know deep down, I know deep down you love me you're the only one that will look up to me
I know deep down, I know deep down you love me you're the only one that will look up to me

Birth In The Morning
02:49
|
|||
perfection is so cruel
it's a dangerous tool
confront her with the truth
and humour her with proof
you told her you had faith
you took words out of place
removed her by surprise
you should have realised
birth in the morning, death in the evening
no point complaining, no point deceiving
'cos you are coming back again
birth in the morning, death in the evening
no kind of warning, all kinds of feeling
'cos you are coming back again
you picked her off the street
and blinded her with heat
denied all of her cares
you're loveless and unfair
you worshipped her complete
adored her to her feet
you turned her from her pain
and what did she regain?
birth in the morning, death in the evening
no point complaining, no point deceiving
'cos you are coming back again
birth in the morning, death in the evening
no kind of warning, all kinds of feeling
'cos you are coming back again
birth in the morning, death in the evening
no point complaining, no point deceiving
'cos you are coming back again

you wanna haunt me, wanna haunt me
in my dreams
you'll find a way
you wanna haunt me, wanna haunt me
in my dreams
you'll find a way
you know it was impossible for the world
to be cold, to be new
I love, I love your way
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
you caught me laughing
caught me laughing in my sleep
you calm me down
you heard me laughing
heard me laughing in my sleep
you calm me down
you know it was impossible for the world
to be cold, to be new
I love, I love your way
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy
I want a girl, I want a girl, I want a boy

Countries For breakfast
03:54

How to be thankful
when there's a bankful
of oil and gold and food
countries for breakfast, this is the genius of our world ending soon
taking stages of all ages, I'll make a man out of you
necklace of aching,
bone and back-breaking
sores on all your clouds
in a series of soundbytes, proving you're alright
mental and socially loud
taking stages of all ages
I'll make a man out of you
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
mountains of pressure
for your own leisure
making sure I'm down
this will dilute me
and all but dispute
these things and problems I've found
taking stages of all ages
I'll make a man out of you
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
derderderder derderderder derderderder derderderder
derderderder derderderder derderderder derderderder
taking stages of all ages
taking stages of all ages
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
thinking's over I'm the re-arranger
gotta make a friend out of you, you're a stranger
