Swans 04:27
I left the ark by myself One by one they all died of disappointment And I am organised And if nature isn't, then she'll just have to rot This isn't New Nantucket This is nowhere, and this is my home And though you couldn't make it in the Thirties I'll make this my Rome

Shoes 03:33
Shall I call you a taxi to the airport or the record shop? A social hub, now boarded up, so board a flight to somewhere new Go climb the walls near Angel Falls, you'd better take a change of clothes A radius of restaurants, which way to go? Follow your nose Ain't it a shame it acts the same as almost every town I've been Re-lace your boots, re-sole your shoes Where's the next place you have to see? Go on now, it's time to leave Go on now, it's time to leave No, I'm not telling you to turn the record off I've not eaten in two days So let's see the galleries Let's see the museums Let's see the front of a bus destroy my dreams There is money to be found hidden in snacks What's tangible in towns I've been is solid ground beneath my feet Take in the sights, the history, assimilate pretty quickly A statue of Boris Karloff ain't gonna scare the pigeons off Set a place mat for the brown rat, our aortas are gonna pop My aorta's gonna pop Somebody should fetch a mop No, I'm not telling you to turn the record off I've not eaten in two days So let's see the galleries Let's see the museums Visit television houses Visit television houses Streetlights cover me as I drum

Woke up a stereotype Then spent the day taking part in the shithead revolution Simpletons in a cardboard house Ten people in a bath on acid spells out doom Elephants or just ants They talk to you so you can choose The weight of fanzine culture Now you're nailed to a blank canvas You think you're gonna save us And a you might but first of all you're getting high You draw a figure three upon the t-shirt of that tree that made you cry Your parties save the world Maybe once you've come down You'll fit in assembly halls Four years is no mistake Physician's golden uptake Twisting when you are fine So you can toe the party line You think you're gonna save the world But first you'll tell us what we're not to buy Withdraw three-figure booze fund from inheritance Forget your cause Oh, oh, oh

Gamma 04:59
A quiet life is not for you You broadcast every silly thing that you do Manipulate it all you like, it's still never a pretty sight Some say you have a heart of gold Well, it is heavy, it is cold It's stressful just to talk to you Seek others who like drama too Your friends have got their claws out again Does it reflect your happy side, that heart-shaped mirror? Peel off your make-up and resign to sleep Does it correct your broken smile, that heart-shaped mirror? Refract your fears as you receive your dreams And you'll wake up in the same life, but a new day Forever changing course, a useless navigator Those friends of yours don't wish to see you later They haven't time Who have you cut out of your life this week? Are things getting any less bleak? Your friends have got their claws out again Where wicked rules do not apply, your heart-shaped mirror Your vanity escapes your stride again Kaleidoscopic in your broken heart-shaped mirror And as you take your final sigh, deflate

Windmills 02:54
Your body's a museum Full of dust no one need see Now I am the curator Now I am the curator On the factory floor The floor I know nothing of Windmills rest single blades You need them to make things neat Your lips list every person they've ever kissed Then context worsens As you reel off yellowed broken teeth And laugh about too much meet and greet But then you do it all again Out on the dour floor The floor I know nothing of Blood falls from lips to lips Chewed skin holds filter tips Your lips list every person they've ever kissed Then context worsens As you reel off yellowed broken teeth And laugh about too much meet and greet But then you do it all again
6.
If I have faith, do I have to pay? Let me turn my sorrows into your profit I'm crying tears of gold I'm rich but I'm rich and I'm old My story's already been told I don't need fuel allowance to avoid going cold Let me turn my sorrows into your profit Into your profit Here he goes again with his bad impersonations Of persons from other nations A broadcast that's not geared towards race relations Bad impersonations of persons from other nations A broadcast that's not geared towards race relations Paint tigers Paint the stripes different colours on tigers Paint the stripes different colours
7.
Swiss Villa 03:59
In the Swiss villa, they replace sounds with eyes Two tattoos and leather sheets and glue And it's an agreement If you look out for me doing bad things And I'll look out for you No streets, only lines Dust surrounds every side You sit there with criminals In a field, sit with the chemists Dispensing with the essentials And I'll look out for you Do you paint much? Do you paint much? Do you paint much?

Beta 01:13
Little things come in little packages Mary, I was born here And I've come back here to die To hem myself in I've been away for a long, long time I've been away such a long time But I've come back here to die I hear the carnival You can hear carnivores In supermarkets we now smell of lavender, ash and oak

I have lived a thousand years inside my head Real life can't compare, it is easier to keep on living there Dreams that step outside are not realised With the effortless perfection I desire I give you my assurances; my ideas are such bliss When I replicate them here, the magic disappears I won't make, I'll just stagnate I won't create, I'll just stagnate In reality, I cannot ensure That my life will ever make my place in history secure In my head, in my head, I'll stay inside my head In my head, in my head, I'll stay inside my head In my head, in my head
10.
Suitcases 02:06
As I was looking out over the loch, I saw two men fighting Over which paper was best Number one said "I'm a tabloid reader" The other said "I am broadsheet" And I said nothing Next they would argue about which colour was best Number one said blue was best and number two said red And number three said purple But there was no number three to be found Because he had drowned In his suitcase they found everything that was to be said about him The pin striped suit and unopened blueprints said not much But nothing could be thought of about the target practice set The target practice set The target practice set
11.
At altitude on the plateau Our military is not just for show If we train up where the air is thin Our oppression can surely begin Stay calm, don't put out the fire It's a violet electrical pyre It's my role as the corporal to say "Make yourself known or be on your way" Had a hazy quarter-of-an-hour Are we still in Pampa Luscuma? My squadron would normally shave Under this regime, not to would be brave Although my watch says five days have passed I'm sick of that question I keep getting asked It's 4am, I thought it was later We're off limits, says the dictator You don't know who we are or where we come from But we shall soon return
12.
Nicotine stains make your smile biographical Coffee at a shit house party Led to breaded habits and buttered sighs But at least I'm so thick-skinned I think we've passed the save-point now The screen won't scroll left any more Spend my days scraping angels off paper Ghosts that once circled marble steps I've found some new blood that I can feed off They haven't the heart to say no Please reattach me if my jaws get looser I feel faint when I'm left alone
13.
Delta 03:29
He sold his soul to write the delta blues He sold his soul to write and sing and play the delta blues I'm told he sold his soul to play the blues Not many songs resolve at twenty-seven bars long But they'd never heard anything like that one Do you know his intro? The 'welcome to the blues' Bob's try'na hitch a lift but no-one's stopping Got stones to pass from his passway and A girl waiting for him in the next town Whichever town that happens to be But he'll be back and he'll be gone Oh, he'll be back and he'll be gone again Ahhhh Bobby's sitting out on the headstones He's talking to the spirits as they lie He knows every epitaph that lines the highway side So many souls resolve At twenty-seven years old Another precedent set, an eerie one Out to sea Water flowing Over the delta

Just a word about the details This person The panels on the wall The maze of back room doors A European funeral A good review so please pinch me A European funeral for what's his name A European funeral for what's his name
15.
Hey lady, have my number But it's not a number It's my demands My demands are thus One plane ticket out of here With you and the crew All cramped up on each other at the front But while I'm waiting, I'll have a gin and tonic please And fifty thousand dollars in cash Now we are here at our resting place The others can get out here You can stay up there And I will stay back here Goodbye, now I must fly I've got mine And you will never ever see me again And neither will my family or friends
16.
Make space in your life for misery Cos it's gonna find you eventually I'd be surprised if it hasn't already done so What's this on the richter scale? To what extent has joy failed you this time? A world full of crime and death Has left you bereft of a good night's sleep Oh, how you weep when your mind will not rest Can we have a show of hands? Keep your hands where I can see them Wrap them tight around the throats Of whoever you suspect who looks the part Every day I hear another story That damages my faith in humanity But I can't feel guilty Why should I? Can we have a show of hands? Keep your hands where I can see them Wrap them tight around the throats Of whoever you suspect who looks the part

The king is tall so I'm not worried about a thing When he's found hanging in the banquet hall There's no gap between his feet and the floor There is no gap between his two foot heels and the floor But I then say Oh that was fine But just remind me every time Someone else has crossed a line Carried on using stilts I carried on using stilts I carried on using stilts I carried on using Carried Speaking of Viking invasions On a bus home From a Russian sailing boat Oh that was fine But just remind me every time Someone else has crossed a line Carried on using stilts I carried on using stilts I carried on using stilts I carried on using Carried
18.
Paper bags for the elders Forty-one of ninety-five And I'm barely alive And I'm barely alive They say a man's castle is his home Well now a Prince's is mine And I'm barely alive And I'm barely alive Wriggly slopes to catch my lunch Slates are difficult to ride And I'm barely alive And I'm barely alive Paper bags for the elders Paper bags for the elders
