She′s hearing voices call her She′s hearing voices warn her She just can′t sleep in her bed She just can′t sleep She′s falling down the stairs She′s tearing out her hair She′s screaming my name, in the night To keep her warm
She got a red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Red pill blue pill Milk of amnesia
She′s scared of the blacks And she′s scared of the Jews She is walking around She is yesterday′s news And she screams out my name In the dead of the night She is leaving my room She is crying on her side Walking on eggshells Walking on glass Burnt by the mirror Burnt by the light Feeling rejection I′ll burn down your house Tearing down posters I was never alive
I′ve been driving, a mid sized car, I never hurt anyone Is that a fact? The price of gas keeps on rising Nothing comes for free Make like a stone, make like a plant I can tell you, how this ends
We′re going to win this With spades and truncheons, guns and trowels That is how the war will be won Just swat the fly Taking care of cars and bodies Nothing ever comes for me The ghosts are here, red white and blue
I can tell you how this ends We′re going to win this
He said you′re just as boring as everyone else When you tut and you moan And you squeal and you squelch He said that you′re just as boring as everyone else Nothing ever happens
Things replace things Days replace days Things replace things
She said I′m going use my teeth and my claws She said I′m going use my teeth and my claws She said I′m going use my teeth and my breasts I′m gonna make it happen She said
Run run run run run run And you cannot run or ever, ever escape You cannot run or ever hide it away Something glorious is about to happen The reckoning
They go you′re just as boring as everyone else When you tut and you moan And you squeal and you squelch They go you′re just as boring as everyone else Stuck past timing The fear and the yearning The fear and the consumption The fear and the yearning It′s gonna eat you alive They go...
And you cannot hide or ever, ever escape And you cannot hide or ever put it away Something glorious is about to happen The reckoning
They go... They say... They go... They say... They go... Why′d you have to get so hysterical? Success, success, success is over Why′d you have to get So fucking useless
War war war war I want to declare a war My fist breaks your porcelain nose There are other things that hands can do To create or to destroy, mini gods and goddesses First person singular Set it set it set it off
War war war war Keep the past the future is ours Man made natural disaster Blocking out all of the sun Supermen and mitsi turbo Speed agility super strength Wipe the blood of those knuckles Spark it give me two′s on that
War war war war I want to declare a war True say blud that when we ride We don′t stop for nobody The Africans and the Bengalis He knows all the rude boys Reebok Nike Adidas Puma "Rer rer rer, this shit is long" It′s all getting, quite highly charged Get out the way, or get fucked up
We dance to the sound of sirens We dance to the sound
And to think, that these hands Could work wonders, with their touch Listening, to dead singers, in your room In 98
We dance to the sound of sirens We dance to the sound
Well there were 7 years between us seems that all my friends were right That we can′t survive on your bedroom eyes and a Spanish guitar When we started this it was paradise, not just Bethnal green And it′s just not right this waiting game, making a cuckold of me
I can be as cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies with lies If you need time...
And it′s just not like me to lash out, but enough is enough Tell me what the others can do that I cant Translucent and sun bleached skin, when did you get so LA How can you desert me after all we′ve been through Stuck on a dream that somewhere its better You′ll be the one missing out
I can be a cruel as you Fighting fire with firewood I can be as cruel as you Fighting lies
I am on Switched on A sudden clearness, a clarity Hidden away, in every locked toilet I′ve been waiting for you ing the Joiner′s Arms I know your name I know your name I′ve danced with you We′re all friends here Silver slugs lined up like bullets Rolled up twenties, they disappear
You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful and stutter-free You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful
Friday night I do all the talking A pint and a fight, the dance floor is mine Truth serum and limbs that won′t listen Drunken "I love yous", on top of the world
And when it runs out We′re chasing something we′ll never catch And when it runs out We buy more A flatness so bleak, I′ve been bitten by a vampire A flatness bleaker than the one it replaced
You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful and stutter-free You make my tounge loose You make my tounge loose I am hopeful I can charm I can charm them all
Wake up dreamer It′s happening without you Cut your hair and shave your beard You squandered your chances I′ll give you a thousand pounds To show me how you do it Stop being so laissez-faire We′re all scared of the future
Been training vipers to come for you In your dreams to release you Been training vipers to come for you In your sleep And the ravens are leaving the tower And the ravens are leaving the tower Make your peace
I′ve got a taste for blood Leave the weak, leave the young I′ve got a taste for blood I′m walking out without you You will kill or be killed It′s about progress I′ve got a taste for blood
Wake up sleepyhead It′s happening without you Such a nice guy You tell me everything twice Whipcrack speed jump We will run backwards Stop being so laissez-faire We′re all scared of the future
We make plans for big times Get bogged down, distracted We make plans for good times All neon, all surface So kiss me before it all gets complicated I′ve got a taste for blood
Ion square, perspex swings I breathe out, you breathe in Permanent midnight Our love, our love How we′ve come to depend On each other to the end The space between us has disappeared You finish my, you finish my words for me
I remember how it began So many great days in a row Barefoot on Bishopsgate Trying to find Blake′s grave If we could stay like this in a silver foil Trapped in amber for a life Permanent midnight Our love, our love
I carry your heart here with me I carry it in my heart I carry your heart with me I carry it in my heart
Who said unbroken happiness Is a bore, is a bore? Who said it, my love? I don′t mind it Anymore, anymore And I reach out a hand over your side of the bed Pull that blanket over your shoulders exposed to the night And the hunger of those early years will never return But I don′t mind, I don′t mind ′Cause I love my mind when I′m fucking you Slowed down to a crawl Years of crime and the bread line Have not at all dimmed your shine So let′s stay in, let the sofa be our car Let′s stay in, let the TV be our stars I found my dancing shoes but they don′t fit All the bright lights do is bore me They bore me
I carry your heart here with me I carry it in my heart I carry your heart with me I carry it in my heart
For my sweetheart the melancholic, you have crossed the river styx And the waves have taken you away As I lay my head on your chest, I can hear it your veins Wake me up when u come to bed
So toughen up Biko toughen up Biko toughen up This world isn′t kind to little things
Was my love strong enough to bring you back from the dead If I could eat your cancer I would but I can′t So I keep writing these songs for you To steal you from your grey And we can dance in our front room again
So toughen up Biko toughen up Biko toughen up I need you be strong for us So toughen up Biko toughen up Biko toughen up This world isn′t kind to little things
Don′t you know that when you stand you stand up for the both of us Remember that when the darkness looms Every tear you shed is cleansing, taking the pain away from you I left you blueberries in the fridge, the little things that I can do
Waiting for the seven eighteen January is endless Weary-eyed and forlorn The Northern Line is the loudest
Sitting in silence in bars after work I′ve got nothing to add or contest Can still kick a ball a hundred yards We cling to bottles and memories of the past
(Give me moments) Just give me moments (give me moments) Not hours or days (give me moments) Just give me moments (give me moments)
Grinding your teeth in the middle of the night With the sadness of those molars Spend all your spare time trying to escape With crosswords and sudoku
If I could do it again I′d make more mistakes I′d not be so scared of falling
If I could do it again, I′d climb more trees I′d pick and I′d more wild blackberries
(Give me moments) Just give me moments (give me moments) Not hours or days (give me moments) Just give me moments (give me moments)
It was your hair that did it It was your hair that lit the fuse A golden brown halo Like sunlight peering through trees I ask you for the time, but I am asking for so much more A moth to your light bulb, you made my heart beat faster
Paralyze me, with your kiss Wipe those dirty hands, on me Maybe we′re looking for the same thing Maybe you′re the one who will complete me
Oh how beauty burns, lips and eyes and fingertips The spark of desire on every point our bodies meet Behind your eyes were stars, infinite and serene How I would suffer for you, you fascinate and magnetize me
Sometimes I think, I would float away If this sadness did not weigh me down
Heavy night, it was a heavy night Feels like we′ve come back from the dead Heavy night, it was a heavy night I cannot remember what I said to anyone If we get up now we can catch the afternoon Watch the under 15s playing football in the park Let′s sit in St. Leonard′s on this alcoholic day We′re doing the best with what we′ve got
I love you in the morning , When you′re still hung over I love you in the morning, When you′re still strung out,
I work hard all week and so do you We discern to let us sleep Less orthodox creeping We need to rage through this life There might be ones who are smarter than you That have the right answers, that wear better shoes Forget about those melting ice caps We′re doing the best with what we′ve got
I love you in the morning , When you′re still hung over I love you in the morning, When you′re still strung out,
With I′m with you, I am calm A pearl in your oyster Head on my chest, a silent smile A private kind of happiness You see, giant proclamations Are all very well But our love is louder than words
You used to take your watch off before we made love You didn′t want to share our time with anyone You used to close your eyes when we kissed goodbye You didn′t want to see me draped in sadness And now there′s nothing here, now there′s nothing here at all In a loft conversion off new north road You were here I was here there was something real here I know there was
You know I still adore you But in a different kind of way You know I still adore you But things have gotten vague Baby I don′t ask for much but things have gotten convenient You know I still adore you but things, have kind of changed
And to think I laughed at you For how you saw the world, with all that empty space inside your hear I have to cling to things now, doubles and cigarettes Forever trying to find you on the lips, of someone else
Just take me back, to the start When your earthquake, was just cracks You must ask yourself everyday Just how high, are the highs
There is a wall that runs right through me Just like the city, I will never be joined What is this love? Why can I never hold it? Did it really run out in the strangers′ bedrooms?
I I have decided At twenty-five Something must change
Saturday night in East Berlin We took the U-Bahn to the East Side Gallery I was sure I′d found love with this one lying with me Crying again in the old bahnhof
I I have decided At twenty-five That something must change
After sex The bitter taste Been fooled again The search continues
Feeding the five thousand was not done with prayers alone It takes blood and guts and it takes devotion So tired of standing up and so tired of drawing breath It′s your turn to take the map and it′s your turn to drop the soap
Pretty pretty boys sucking on a cola Money to burn, money to burn, money to burn We got rules to protect us Isaac and Ishmael The magazine says it′s okay Life as a billboard
If you are the answer We are going straight hell
Grown in a parental fugue Weight loss in self respect Bomb, bomb, bomb us back together A new way into a lost answer
I rely on (bitter cold) I depend on (artic snow) A pair of trainers (I′ve got mine) Could make a God of the two of us (I want yours)
I exist on (apropos) I insist on (arctic snow) A change of clothing (will fill the void) Could lift us into fidelity (will suck you in)
The sound keeps you hemmed to the past The walls are coming in again The streets grid alone from the door You gotta spin the fucking treadle...
I rely on (bitter cold) I depend on (arctic snow) The manmade fibres (I′ve got mine) That are the stuff of my birthright (I want yours)
I decide on (apropos) I retreat from (arctic snow) The dregs of discourse (will fill the void) For a new world order (will suck you in)
The sound keeps you hemmed to the past The walls are coming in again The streets grid alone from the door You gotta spin the fucking treadle... In a pile of days between no oceans All the kids are rioting There′s no art in a broken head All the kids are staying fat
And I′m air-kissing, back-slapping Check the body for valuables It′s called progress Come on pilgrim sing to the pyres It′s called progress If they want to kill themselves Then buy them the gowns It′s called progress
Two ravens in the old oak tree, one for you and one for me Bluebells in the late December, I see signs now all the time The last time we slept together, there was something that was not there You never wanted to alarm me but I′m the one that′s drowning now
I could sleep forever these days because in my dreams I see you again But this time fleshed out fuller face in your confirmation dress It was so like you to visit me to let me know you were ok It was so like you visit me, always worrying about someone else
At your funeral I was so upset, so upset, in your life you were larger than this statuesque
I see signs now all the time that your not dead your sleeping I believe in anything that brings you back home to me
And you′re tired of your Mum And you′re tired of your Dad Got you jumping through hoops Got you shaving your legs Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass over you
And you′re tired of your face And you′re tired of your nose Got you jumping through hoops Got you shaving your legs Let it pass, let it pass, let it pass through you
And your nose is bleeding You′ve been lying to me
There will be no hesitation There will be no confrontation There will be no indication There will be no cause There will be no exultation There will be no justification There will be no way at all
And your nose is bleeding You′ve been lying to me
Luno Come back to me the the way you were The way you were when we were young I′m trying to tell you everything I′m trying to tell you everything
I can heal the blind I can cure the sick I can say the right things I can say the right things Where d′you get so cruel Where do you go Cos you′re never here
And your nose is bleeding You deserve it You′ve been lying to me
You′ll find it hiding in shadows You′ll find it hiding in cupboards It will walk you home safe every night It will help you remember
If that′s way it is Then that′s the way it is
I still feel you and the taste of cigarettes What could I ever run to Just tell me it′s tearing you apart Just tell me you cannot sleep
And you didn′t even notice When the sky turned blue And you couldn′t tell the difference Between me and you And I nearly didn′t notice The gentlest feeling
I am trying to be heroic, In an age of modernity. I am trying to be heroic, because all around me history sings.
So I enjoyed and I devoured flesh and wine and luxury. But in my heart, I am lukewarm; nothing ever really touches me.
At Les Trois Gar we meet at precisely 9 o′clock. I order the foie gras and I eat it with complete disdain. Bubbles rise in champagne flutes, but when we kiss, I feel nothing.
Feasting on sleeping pills and Marlboro Reds. (so busy won′t save you)
Oh how our parents they suffered for nothing Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream Like the 80s never happened. People are afraid, are afraid To merge on the freeway. Disappear here
Stroll the pier into the magazine launch party. I am handed a pill, and I swallow with complete disdain. Kick-drum bangs off the high-hat; Remember to look bored. We suck each others′ faces, and make sure we are noticed.
(Cocaine won′t save you) Because East London is a vampire, it sucks the joy right out of me How we long for corruption in these golden years.
Oh how our parents they suffered for nothing Live the dream, live the dream, live the dream Like the 80s never happened. People are afraid, are afraid To merge on the freeway. Disappear here x4
Backwards, forwards but making no ground at all Standing in the city with the clocks counting one And your face is still wet from the fight before As your tears hit the ground, blue flowers spring from them Baby, I′m ashamed of the things I put you through Baby, I′m ashamed of the man I was for you
And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do"
How fast must we run before we can just take off in flight? How far must we run before they do not recognise us? So let′s take this from the start, you′ll be me and I′ll be you And let′s try not to complain about your smoking And my distant heart And my distant heart And my distant heart
And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do"
(Too many mirrors in this house) (And I don′t like to see myself like this) (I′m becoming the man I used to be I guess) (These walls could tell you a thing or two) (Things that you really don′t want to know) (Lend me your eyes for your point of view) (Lend me your feet and I′ll stand up for you)
And all you said in your quietest voice Was "I needed you as much as they do"
I, I still remember how you looked that afternoon. There was only you.
You said "it′s just like a full moon". Blood beats faster in our veins We left our trousers by the canal And our fingers, they almost touched
You should have asked me for it I would have been brave You should have asked me for it How could I say no?
And our love could have soared Over playgrounds and rooftops Every park bench screams your name I kept your tie
I′ve gone wherever you wanted
(I still remember)
And on that teachers′ training day We wrote our names on every train Laughed at the people off to work So monochrome and so lukewarm
And I can see our days are becoming nights. I could feel your heartbeat across the grass. We should have run. I would go with you anywhere. I should have kissed you by the water
You should have asked me for it I would have been brave You should have asked me for it How could I say no?
And our love could have soared Over playgrounds and rooftops Every park bench screams your name I kept your tie
Attention Unbelievers Fashion victims Opportunists Blood sport Cop killer Don′t trust art Don′t trust culture
Cancel your thoughts out forever Milk it and strain it to residue An insult that dilates forever Passing from history that′s made from arrangements Of tannoys and cordons in symmetry That cancel forever
Forever
Spring breaks in ranks and in boulevards A country that grows us But cannot contain us
A curse on your houses Rivers run with your sons′ blood No case for extenuation All the marshals are dead
It′s so cold in this house Open mouth swallowing us The children staying home from school Will not stop crying
And I know that you′re busy too I know that you care You got your finger on the pulse You got your eyes everywhere And it hurts all the time when you don′t return my calls And you haven′t got the time to remember how it was It′s so cold in this house It′s so cold in this house
I can′t eat, I can′t sleep I can′t sleep, I can′t dream An aversion to light Got a fear of the ocean
Like drinking poison, like eating glass
It′s so cold in this house Come and show me how it was
We′ve got crosses on our eyes Been walking into the walls again We′ve got crosses on our eyes Been walking into the furniture We′ve got crosses on our eyes For richer, for poorer, for better, for worse We′ve got crosses on our eyes We′ve been walking into the furniture

If your right hand is causing you pain Cut it off cut it off If your colours have started to run Let them all run, run away from you There is lightning in this room Above our heads waiting to strike Im a thinker not a talker Put your faith, your faith in God
We were hoping for some romance All we found was more dispair We must talk about our problems We are in a state of Flux
Id kill for an adventure Just you and I in the Curzon Bar Dancing till we knew So all that we′ve learnt disappeared When you shouted at me I saw my father in the second grade Concerned and kind But yet unable to reach me
We were hoping for some romance All we found was more dispair We must talk about our problems We are in a State of Flux
State of Flux [x9]
We need to talk [x5]
We were hoping for some romance All we found was more dispair We must talk about our problems We are in a state of Flux
A heart of stone, a smoking gun I can give you life, I can take it away
A heart of stone, a smoking gun I′m working it out Why′d you feel so underrated? Why′d you feel so negated?
Turning away from the light Becoming adult Turning into my soul I wanted to bite not destroy To feel her underneath Turning into my life
She don′t think straight She′s got such a dirty mind and it never ever stops And you don′t taste like her and you never ever will And we don′t read the papers, we don′t read the news Heaven′s never enough, we will never be fooled
And if you feel a little left behind I will see you on the other side
To be lost in the forest To be cut adrift You′ve been trying to reach me You bought me a book To be lost in the forest To be cut adrift I′ve been paid I′ve been paid
Don′t get offended If I seem absent minded Just keep telling me facts And keep making me smile Don′t get offended If I seem absent minded I get tongue-tied Baby, you′ve got to be more discerning I′ve known never known what′s good for me I will be yours
I′ll pay for you anytime
You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness Well jump on, enjoy, you can gorge away You told me you wanted to eat up my sadness Jump right on Baby, you′ve got to be more discerning I′ve known never known what′s good for me Baby, you′ve got to be more demanding I will be yours
What are you holding out for? What′s always in the way? Why so damn absent-minded? Why so scared of romance?
This modern love breaks me This modern love wastes me
Do you wanna come over and kill some time? Tell me facts, tell me facts, tell me facts Tell me facts Throw your arms around me
There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall All the young people looked the, same Wearing their masks of Commerce dressed up as, rebellion
′Cause we′re so handsome and we′re so bored So entertain us, tell me a joke Make it long, make it last Make it cruel, just make me laugh We can′t be heard, we can′t be heard
Drink to forget your blues on the weekend Think about more things to, buy The TV taught me how to sulk and love nothing And how to grow my hair long
′Cause we′re so handsome and we′re so bored So entertain us, tell me a joke Make it long, make it last Make it cruel, just make me laugh We can′t be heard, we can′t be heard
So why′d you go picking fights that you′ll lose? (When you have entertainment, when you have things to pass the time) So why do you go thinking thoughts that are above you? (You can be happy just playing dumb) (You can be happy just playing dumb) Well I was brave, and unique, intelligent, a snowflake; I could have been a hero No one can be trusted over the age of fourteen (Tattoo our arms) (Converse shoes) (Cynical) Well should we tell ourselves we′re different I′ve gotten so good at lying to myself
Oh! All my pain and honour is used up Oh! Oh! Oh! All my guns are rusted
So when′re you gonna realise Those are not your wrongs to right Have another line, have another drink
I am a martyr, I just need a motive I am a martyr, I just need a cause I′m a believer, I just need a moment I′m a believer, I just need a cause
We′re finding it hard to break the mould We′re finding it hard to be alone We′re finding it hard to untie ourselves We have nothing at all to say
Uniform Uniform Uniform
There was a sense of disappointment as we left the mall All the young people looked the same
Lord give me grace and dancing feet And the power to impress Lord give me grace and dancing feet Let me outshine them all
Is it so wrong to crave recognition? Second best, runner-up Is it so wrong to want rewarding? To want more than is given to you? Than is given to you
Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle them with my wit Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
Standing on the packed dance floor Our bodies fro in time Silent on the weekdays Tonight I claim what′s mine
Is it so wrong to crave recognition? Second best, runner-up Is it so wrong to want rewarding? To want more than is given to you? Than is given to you
Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle them with my wit Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle them with my wit Tonight make me unstoppable And I will charm, I will slice I will dazzle, I will outshine them all
If it can be broke then it can be fixed, if it can be fused then it can be split It′s all under control If it can be lost then it can be won, if it can be touched then it can be turned All you need is time
We promised the world we′d tame it, what were we hoping for?
A sense of purpose and a sense of skill, a sense of function but a disregard We will not be the first, we won′t You said you were going to conquer new frontiers, Go stick your bloody head in the jaws of the beast
We promised the world, we′d tame it, what were we hoping for?
Breath in, breath out
So here we are reinventing the wheel I′m shaking hands with a hurricane It′s a colour that I can′t describe, It′s a language I can′t understand Ambition, tearing out the heart of you Carving lines into you Dripping down the sides of you
This is not the time, the time to start a new love This is not the time, the time to sign a lease Try not to worry about whats forgotten Try not to worry about whats been missed Scars on shins and scars on my knuckles Today I woke up in a basketball court Jonjo′s in Sydney and he aint returning Im sitting in soho trying to stay drunk
In any bar in the world From Silverlake to Williamsburg You could pick another stranger And fall in love
My mercury′s in retrograde
This is not the time, the tie to start a new love This is not the time, the time to sign a lease Try not to worry about whats forgotten Try not to worry about whats been missed Bleeding gums and veins protruding You′re starting to hate all of your clothes Neumayrs in LA and she aint returning Im sleeping with people I don′t even like
My mercury′s in retrograde
When I say you last night I wanted to say, run away with me Away from the cynics That this could be the start of Something truly real... But all that I could say was "hey"
And in the dark it comes for me Malevolent and without form Uprooting trees, destroying cars Cold and relentless with arms outstretched
No Bolt nor brick Nor crucifix can hold it back I′ve been wicked I′ve been arrogant
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent and Velvet) And when it comes it will feel like a kiss And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
Awaken from dreams of drunken car crashes You saddened my friends and claimed all my lovers I tried to stay still, so it will not see me Its talons rake the side of my face When did you become such a slut?
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss (Silent and Velvet) And when it comes it will feel like a kiss And I cannot say that I was not warned or was misled And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
And I didn′t think I′d catch fire when I held my hand to the flame And I didn′t think it would catch up as fast as I could have run Fate came a knocking when I was looking the other way A new disease came in the post for me today
And when it comes it will feel like a kiss And when it comes it will feel like a kiss And when it comes, and when it comes, and when it comes And when it comes it will feel like a kiss
What′s with all this doom and gloom? You used to be such, such a laugh It′s only sin, original sin Corinthians (15:22) Never been a big fan of things But I′m growing so fond of you
You get sadder the smarter you get And it′s a bore You get sadder the smarter you get And it′s a bore
Truth is truth I ain′t no bohemian Much too, much too safe Much too, much too typical Much too, much too typical Much too, much too You can use your hands for something else I′ll take you further than the scholars can Put down your books and molest me Heaven is here, where it needs to be
You get sadder the smarter you get And it′s a bore You get sadder the smarter you get And it′s a bore
And there was a time before we were born When we stood in the garden If this world won′t last I′ll turn you on Well, I′ve got enough for the both of us The both of us The both of us
And there was a time before we were born When we stood in the garden If this world does not turn you on Well, I′ve got enough for the both of us The both of us
North to south Empty Running on Bravado As if to say, as if to say He doesn′t like chocolate He′s born a liar, he′ll die a liar Some things will never be different
