MUSCLE MEMORY

Lately I've been feeling electronic, waking up and never asking why,
maybe we can down a gin and tonic, and talk about the things that keep us alive.

I've been lying to myself, I lie a million times a day.

I wake up inside a conversation, someones talking but its not to me,

I was a regular outside the station bar,
but no one would see me catch a train.
I was the holder of your cigarette,
but I'll be gone when you turn around.

I go out, to make friends, to get some understanding
I don't like the bright lights, I come back home.

Tell me do you mean a single word you say or are you just leaking words
giving it a name because everybody says,
"its the time for growing up"
I love you, I don't care, I'm excited, I despair,
say is this the dream America?
We can share our fears, you've got issues, are those tears?
say is this the dream America?

I will sit and count the bars on my window
and start a faith from the hole that's in my wall.
I've been treading water like a champion,
I hear my neighbours but I don't know their names...

I'm running on empty,
I'm running on nothing at all,
running on empty,

BLEACH YOUR BONES

I'm the carrier of a broken gene, I'm the son and I'm the father,
I'll go right down.
There's an open door and I'm walking through, I can see the fire rising,
I'll go right down.

Out on the window ledge, I'm doing semaphore,

There’s a tidal wave moving through my blood, it shakes me to the ground then picks me up
Born the single heir to a fathers curse, going to kill him or he’ll me first
Heavy black steel weighs my jacket down, warming my side with its smoking guilt
I could play the part of the fugitive, taking five shots, I’ll save one for me

Wont you ride with me, to a safer place
I just want to start again
Suddenly I’m free, former destinies

What’s left to die for, love is all we have
I want a cause that is keeping me alive
What’s left of freedom, show me the fight

Put me to the wall and I’ll show you what I’m thinking of
Put me to the wall and just take your aim
Keep your blindfold I want you to see the making of
Every nightmare as you take your aim

ELIXIR

He saves his paperwork for his one day off,
and wont do holidays, says he'd rather work.
He'll be in charge of you when he's twenty nine,
he hates the ladder but he loves the climb.

He loves the climb, he loves the climb.

I'm counting in years where it used to be months,
gin fuelled dreams and affairs of the heart,
losing my site to impossible books,
long dead Russians and suicide stars.
Another night is lost, to the underground,
I'm not like I was, I'm much better now

I don't know, if I'm moving forward,

Living each night for the morning after, in the rush to be tagged and be seen with the best of boys. Propped up like a wounded soldier between two grinning pillars, on the way back from a jager bombed, fish bowl front line.
I liked you better when you punched my face, I liked you better when you were all fingers and thighs and the worst kind of dirty talk, rushing towards another sexual misadventure,
LOOK WITH YOUR EYES AND NOT YOUR HANDS!

Keep them drunk and keep them dumb,
an old solution for the young,
its hard to fight with your hands by your side.
Does this city ever sleep, the walking dead can have no sleep,

The tragedy of our lives, is that we don't get to spend enough time,
doing those things that remind us all that we're human.
I'm staying out late at night, and getting up early just to make things right,
I didn't lie when I said that this would be forever.

I don't call, but neither do you,
we're killing time, but what else are we going to do

The smell of cinnamon hung heavy in the air,
as the candle on the desk flickered in the breeze
from the badly fitter window.
His lavender hands have intentions
Stay close to keep warm.

Outside the people are marching in the snow
Flaming torches for the capital city

We've become dispensable, a generation lost,
pack your bags we're moving out, there's not a place for us.
Kicking me, kicking me, you keep kicking me harder,
Kicking me harder when Im down,
Kicking me, kicking me, you keep kicking me back to the ground...

I fill my lungs, and I scream for freedom,
I want to but don't have the words,

MUSCLE MEMORY

Lately I've been feeling electronic, waking up and never asking why,
maybe we can down a gin and tonic, and talk about the things that keep us alive.

I've been lying to myself, I lie a million times a day.

I wake up inside a conversation, someones talking but its not to me,

Is this the happiness you’ve always talked about?
I’m never happy when my guard is down.
I’m a detective now, I’m always looking back
I’m green with envy now, this heart attacks

Woo Haa!

Fingers and tongues and thighs, twist in the heavy light

NEW TRANCE

Im starting on a new life, an arms length from my face,
In HD hyper-vision, twenty four hours a day.
I'll join the conversation, but I don't have anything left to say.

Always an alibi, always a reason why I'll never leave
Always an alibi, always a reason why I'll never leave

NO I.D.

These years of walking around in someone else's skin, are doing me in.
These years of lying have me believing everything, I've ever said.
Choose a life, choose a life.

I wonder where I start and where we're crossing over,
remember, remember, it's nothing personal.

I was once a king, but now I cannot see
The million little things that flash in front of me
Where are the heroes I used to know
My mind is bending, as my body breaks

I don’t want to fear another little waste
The sun must rise, just to set

You're telling me I'm beautiful when you can see my bones,
you're telling me I'm everything you could every want.
Meet me down by the death walk bridge where romance goes to die
and tell me that I'll always be the apple of your eye.

Ten white horses circling my head,
I'm dizzy but it all makes sense.
Kiss me on my pigeon chest,

I won’t be your enemy until you say you’re mine
I wont treat you like a dog unless that’s what you like
I’m always here
I’ll be around
Every look you fire at me is saying back away
Just get your hand off of my thigh and maybe I’ll obey
I’m always here
On the ground

Twenty four years, six months and five days
scared by the light I'll go back to the cave
Man up they say, man up they say
There's a place here for everyone as long as everyone knows their place.
So I'll wait.

I'm dreaming of the stars, but I wont leave here
I'm dreaming of the stars, but I wont leave here

Twenty five years on the factory floor,
George was quiet, George was strong,
He had a family that treated him like a king.

The lifeblood of a coastal town,
The one place for sons and fathers,
Its going to have to move with the times.

Slow this down, frame by frame
Show me what’s wrong with it
Show me pain, show me there’s a victim
Chocked on guilt, I can see
Another teen tragedy, it ties me down
Binds my hands together
Every head turns on masse
Screaming out “scandalous”

Famed for your, restraint in times
Of great desire, when fear has no place
Self control has left you cold
Just relight the fire and blaze like the sun
I am nailed to the floor
Fear of desire keeping me here
Can I put my hand in yours
I wont look at you if you don’t want.

We're draining off our glasses
we'll drink our cares away
and in our party dresses
reaction time delays

All I ever wanted was something to believe
Negative emotion sells you everything

Dawn never comes, we can sleep forever
With my arm draped round your shoulder
Ill never move, I wont breath
I’d tear my eyes out just to save this moment

Oh my love, the stars stay out for us, under the window
Oh my love, we’ll never be alone, under the window

She's in control, she unique,
the tattoo on her wrist told me.
She always cries, before she sleeps,
the supermarket wine cuts deep.

I want more than keeping score,
I want hopes and dreams,
I want more than keeping score,

Don’t leave my side, until the sun is gone
We can spend our lives, chasing dawn
In this warm twilight I’ll be king
You can be my queen, we will reign
As I run my hand down your back
You just smile at me, there’s no words
I’m facing up to the fact that this cant go on
When day comes

Hold me down, teach me to beg,
show me the joys of suspense.
You are the curse on my waves,
drown me to get me home safe,
you're everything I wanted and your everything I need,
suddenly forever is so clear to me.

Face me down, prove me wrong

Westminster drowns under the blood of thieves,
the falling masks of liars and cowards fill the streets.
Im looking for a fight, Im looking for a cause,
all my friends and enemies are blurring into one.

Im dreams its the 30's, Im dreaming Im in Spain,
facing death with my head high,
two bullets in my brain.

I’m giving up my life to someone else’s dreams
I’ll take you by the hand, to places I don’t know
This guilt in ecstasy, it doesn’t sit with me
I’m serious too much, I look but do not touch
How can the cause of this still be the medicine
I’ve got blood on my teeth, I spit but keep the taste

I push my chest out, I am a man now
