Alaskan PipelineYou might as well surrender now
You'll never hold that stance
With all my words
I can't find one
To help you understand
It's not too late
Take up the cup
All Good Boys It's a boy,
Man child,
A question of genes,
Body hair,
Deep voice,
A handful of dreams,
We don't get any older,
All I'm SayingI'm dreaming of you
You are free of all the pain
You kept from me
Your gaze is strong
I'm dreaming of you
With those black brown eyes
That seem to see
All One To Me Hold on to me, lights out of hell
Follow the chord to the centre
Refuse, don't believe
Door after door
Will turn some old wine into laughter
It's all one to me, it's all one to me, it's all one to me
Don't you know
Are You ReadyHey, hey, hey
Hey, hey, hey
Julie says that I must wake up
I am losing touch 'cause I think too much
Im afraid to feel, my life feels unreal
You will not find love if you think youre not good enough
Billy's ShirtsShirt's on fire, church on fire
Billy's dream boat stills as the house alights
Sailors come from miles for a drink and a fight
But the harbour thrills pull back from the light
To the belly of a boat in a hammer try tight
Holler
Pleasures of the night
Bitter VirtueLiving's so close to loving
I is the problem
O the solution
Join in circles
Not easily broken
Only when open
My I is paper thin
Black HoleI've been digging this grave, but now that it's made
I see that black is one hell of a colour
Want to break out so I start to shout
But the mortician's returned to his parlour
Black hole
Wrapped in my shroud upstairs, the music's so loud
Born of FrustrationWooooowooooowoooowooo
Wooooowooooowoooowooo
All this frustration
I can't meet all my desires
Strange conversation
Self copntrol has just expired
All an illusion
Only in my head you don't exist
BubblesTake an axe to your past, to your family tree
Carve a face from the wood, an effigy
Make wings from the leaves, hide from the bark
Kindling for the hair, rose for his heart
Someone to draw you right
Someone to catch the light
Burned If you don't look cool
They won't look at you
But if you image is strong
Any song will do
They'll think that the wrapping's the gift
Is a throw away stone
All we want
ChameleonHere we go again
here we go again
ladies and gentlemen
the show is just beginning
the actors have arrived
the show is improvised
who are you? and when
do you begin and end
China Girl She said Jimmy just you shut your mouth
She said Shhhhh
I couldn't escape this feeling
With my China girl (China girl)
I'm just a wreck without my China girl (China girl)
I hear her heart beat loud as thunder
I see stars crashing down
I'm a mess without my China girl (China girl)
ConfusionWell I made me a list of
Lovers from A to infinity
But I couldn't remember the names
Of half of them
I remembered bit's of bodies and
What they did for me
And whether or not I got it
Up and made them hum
Curse CurseIn my hotel room
Sounds from next door
Someone's getting laid
God's name's proclaimed
The end is on its way
Turned on ashamed
I turn up the TV
Copa Del Rey
Dust MotesDust motes in a beam of light
They slow down time
Snowflake on a black wool glove
Melting in the sunlight
Dust motes in a beam of light
You left without a fight
Dust motes in a beam of light, they slow down time
Getting Away With It Are you aching for the blade?
That's OK, we're insured
Are you aching for the grave?
That's OK, we're insured
We're getting away with it all messed up
Getting away with it all messed up
That's the living
HelloYou and me, play this song, the vision
Hope to make this love stretch forever
Don't let go in this, now or never
Hope there's change enough to say
Hello, it's over
Hello, it's over
Hello, it's over
HomeboyYou're a late child, you're a love child
It's enough child that your so appealing
You're appealing, you're appealing
To a need that we all have been feeling
You don't fit where you've been put
They're so straight
Straight out of some book
Tried to fake it with a real man
Hymn From A VillageThis song's made up, it's second rate
Cosmetic music, powderpuff
Pop tunes, false rhymes, all lightweight bluffs
Second-hand ideas, no soul, no hate
Wasn't meant to be
Built on complacency
The nightmares ride away
When you refuse to play
I Wanna Go HomeIn this bar, in this bar, I am dying
In this bar, in this bar, I am dying
Disassociated, keep off the grass
I prefer you naked, this too shall pass
Nuance carefully weighted, too slow, too fast
Too slow, too fast
If Things Were PerfectOn a machine like this
Everybody gets their hands oily
Smoke filled room
Nobody's lungs stay clean
But there's a difference between
A swim and a wallow
Gives out a clue to how things might have been
If things were perfect
Just Like Fred AstaireDoctor, what is happening to me?
Palpitations, my mind's diseased
Even my vision is impaired
I'm losing my hair
'Cause when I hold her in my arms
I feel like Fred Astaire
KaleidoscopeGlazed eyes turning away
Is it true
Are you seeing him again
Email swiftly erased
Is it true
You're seeing him again
I caught you on the telephone
Laid Ost American PieHis bed is on fire with passionate love
The neighbors complain about the noises above
But she only comes when she's on top
My therapist said not to see you no more
She said you're like a disease without any cure
She said I'm so obsessed that I become a bore, oh no
(Ah)I think you're so pretty Eee
Caught your hand inside the till
LullabySince your mother cast her spell
Every kiss has left a bruise
You've been raiding too much meaning from existence
Now your head is used and sore
And the forecast is for more
Memories falling, like falling rain
Falling rain
Moving onPlease don't get me started
Looking backwards to move on.
Strong yet open-hearted,
Accept leaving when leaving's come.
God didn't see it coming,
Never said I love you, hope you knew.
Now my bags are packed and my sails are tacked
Never Give UpIf you need a hand to hold
I'll be the first reaching out you know
Good or bad, winding roads
I'll be right there and I won't let go
All we ever have is
Ever have is one another
So let's promise this we'll
Once A FriendYou were created just for me
You were created just to tease
You've never loved, you've just diseased
I put my faith in you
Spoiled all your schemes
You fooled us all, we're easily led
Your body folds into a head
Pleased To Meet YouScared to be alone
Frightened of the dark
Everything's too much
For a boy out of touch with his feelings
I must be to blame
I must be at fault
I believe I'm never good enough
Ring The BellsRing The Bells,
Ring ring the bells,
Wake the town,
Everyone is sleeping,
Shout at the crowd,
Wake them up,
This anger's deeper than sleep.
RunagroundFor every woman you will leave an open door
You find yourself thinking why can't I have more?
You say there's nothing you can do
You tried your best, but you were only being you
Oh, no, she's gone
Back wherever she came from
You watched her go
Say SomethingYou're as tight as a hunter's trap
Hidden well, what are you concealing
Poker face, carved in stone
Amongst friends, but all alone
Why do you hide
Say something, say something, anything
I've shown you everything
She's A StarWhenever she's feeling empty
Whenever she's feeling insecure
Whenever her face is frozen
Unable to fake it anymore
Her shadow is always with her
Her shadow will always keep her small
So frighten that he wont lover her
She builds up a wall
Sit DownI'll sing myself to sleep
A song from the darkest hour
Secrets I can't keep
Inside of the day
Swing from high to deep
Extremes of sweet and sour
Hope that God exists
I hope I pray
SometimesTheres a storm outside and the gap
between crack and thunder, crack and
thunder closing in.
The rain floods gutters and makes a great sound on concrete
On a flat roof theres a boy leaning
against a wall of rain aerial
held high, calling
strangersFound a message in the sand
It read 'just do the best you can'
This world's not how I planned
You're on your own
No one can hear you
They're just talking all the time
There's the world, and you're outside
StutterTongue split
In the night
I woke up in blood
Red sheets
Wrapped tight
Dreamt I was drowning in mud
Now there's a
beast in my mouth
UpsideSend seasonal greetings from nowhere
I'm working and playing away
Remember the moment of leaving
Yesterday, yesterday
Roll through these towns, over seas, over mountains
Lucky to work when work is scarce
Father must feed, must provide, he must fountain
WaterfallSays, boy, are you getting old?
There's so much junk in your life
What you've got, you don't even know
Don't take a phone company
To tell you life's pay as you go
I wonder how much of life is set up in útero?
Why So CloseWhy so close
Big boys in black hats
Cowboys with white guns
White guns shoot blue white
Blue white baptism
No buffaloes
No indians
No more buffaloes
