1.Out To Get You

I'm so alone tonight
My bed feels larger than when i was small
Lost in memories, lost in all the sheets and all old pillows
So alone tonight, miss you more than i will let you know
Miss the outline of your back, miss you breathing down my neck
All out to get you, once again, they're all out to get you, once
again

Insecure, what ya gonna do
Feel so small, they could step on you
Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch
Is what i need, what i need is you, i need you

Looked in the mirror, i don't know who i am any more
The face is familiar, but the eyes, the eyes give it all away
They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get
you
Here they come again

Insecure, what ya gonna do
Feel so small, they could step on you
Called you up, answer machine, when the human touch
Is what i need, what i need is you

Let me breathe, if you'd let me breathe
They're all out to get you, once again, they're all out to get
you


2.Sometimes(Lester Piggot)

There's a storm outside, and the gap between crack and thunder
Crack and thunder, is closing in, is closing in
The rain floods gutters, and makes a great sound on the concrete
On a flat roof, there's a boy leaning against the wall of rain
Aerial held high, calling 'come on thunder, come on thunder'

Sometimes, when i look deep in your eyes, i swear i can see your
soul
Sometimes, when i look deep in your eyes, i swear i can see your
soul

It's a monsoon, and the rain lifts lids off cars
Spinning buses like toys, stripping them to chrome
Across the bay, the waves are turning into something else
Picking up fishing boats and spewing them on the shore

The boy is hit, lit up against the sky, like a sign, like a neon
sign
And he crumples, drops into the gutter, legs twitching
The flood swells his clothes and delivers him on, delivers him
on

Sometimes, when i look deep in your eyes, i swear i can see your
soul
Sometimes, when i look deep in your eyes, i swear i can see your
soul

There's four new colors in the rainbow
An old man's taking polaroids
But all he captures is endless rain, endless rain
He says listen, takes my head and puts my ear to his
And i swear i can hear the sea

Somtimes, when i look in your eyes i can see your soul
(i can reach your soul)
(i can touch your soul)
Sometimes


3.Dream Thrum

She dreamt the scene the night before
She cast you in her mind
She made your face from clay and straw
Precious stones for your eyes

We cut the cord that brought you here
We left you on your own
We filled your head with wild ideas
Our beliefs led you on

We leave a trail that's always changed
You keep your hopes alive
This surface may seem calm enough
But underneath, underneath

We made you feel the way you are is wrong
We made you what you are
You are afraid
If you don't play the game, we'll make you change
Oh, i've changed


4.One Of The Three

You were one, one of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one, one of the three
I need proof before belief
Oh, well, you just knew they'd come for you
So it was suicide, suicide
Oh, well, now you got just what you want
I hope you're satisfied

One of the three

You were one, one of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one, one of the three
I need proof before belief
Oh, well, i guess you're not to blame for what they
Done in your name, in your name
Oh, well, it's a shame you got so famous for a sacrifice

One of the three

You were one, one of the three
One in three must find some peace
You were one, one of the three
I need proof before belief

You sent forth your lamb to the slaughter


5.Say Something

You'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
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Take a drug to set you free
Strange fruit from a forbidden tree
You've got to come down soon
More than a drug is what i need
Need a change of scenery
Need a new life

Say something, say something anything
I've shown you everything
Give me a sign
Say something, say something, anything
Your silence is deafening
Pay me in kind

Say something

I'm open wide, open wondering
Have you swallowed everything
Pay me in kind


6.Five-o

Are you open for trade
Your salvation, for something, for some thrills
Is a body of work for your inspection
You can trace, trace my concern
My concern

I've been looking for truth
At the cost of living
I've been afraid
Of what's before mine eyes
Every answer found
Begs another question
The further you go, the less you know
The less i know

I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Can you take my weight
Are we both too small
Know each other well
We've met before

Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope i'm the first to die
Will you marry me, can we meet the cost
Is the power of love worth the pain of loss
Can you pay the bill, will you keep the change
Are you here for the party, or are you here for the pain

I can feel your face
Gonna make it mine
I can be the man
I see in your eyes
Will we grow together
Will it be a lie
If it lasts forever, hope i'm the first to die
Hope i'm the first to die


7.P.s.

You're a weapon of devotion
Keep the faithful entertained
You're a lover of attention
Found a way to pawn the soul
Disposition may be fetching
But the world moves on and leaves you far behind

I hear you, i hear you, whispering such gorgeous stories
I see you, i see you, trying to break free
You liar, you liar, you can't live the dreams you're spinning
You liar, love to be deceived

You're falling, you're falling, falling from your god-like
distance
You're fashion, just fashion, fashion doesn't keep
You're sour, so sour, all is hope and trust is misplaced
You're sour, now you are alone

Walking on fire, feel the way the world's inclining
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me

My son says, dear father, what did you do when the world turned
over
Keep spinning, keep spinning, send us off to sleep
You liar, you liar, all your words are just dust in moonshine
You liar, love to be deceived

Walking on fire, found a place away from humans
Walking on fire, hate to deceive
Walking on fire, now the world will keep its distance
Walking on fire, you rather than me


8.Everybody Knows

When you took me in your arms
I knew i'd reply
You breathed me in so deeply
You took my hand as the music began
I knew i could dance if you led me
Everybody knows your fate, honey, everybody knows your fate

The snake is poised, and is held by your noise
You charm the life out of demons
You kept me up there with the web of your hair
You spun my life into meaning
Everybody knows your fate, honey, everybody knows your fate

I've seen your stars, so many lives
You seem to shine forever
Do you remember the time
Do you remember the time
Our memories held us together
Everybody knows your fate, honey, everybody knows your fate

Everybody's hopeful, so much feeling
See your face in windows
Hear your calling
Everybody knows your face, honey, everybody knows your fate


9.Knuckle Too Far

Slow down, my brother, your life is passing fast
Will you remember all these scenes that you've passed
So long, so long

Speeding past sunset, blurring from town to town
Faces i forget, hotels all look the same
Worn down the knuckle too far
So long, so long

Lost are your colors, now life's in black and white
Steals from a movie, this life's a trick of the light
Worn down the knuckle too far
Worn down

City of strangers, you seem so tired to me
Don't think i'll stay here, you don't seem friendly
I'll keep on moving, searching for peace of mind
Rivers unwinding maybe i'll find it this time
So long, so long
So long

Live from my suitcase, my life's within my hands
Sleep in a strange bed, hometown's a foreign land
Down, the knuckle too far


10.Low Low Low

I'm a member of an ape-like race
At the asshole end of the twentieth century
This film's a thriller of the mind
Will we destroy our homes, release ourselves from the
Weights of gravity
I'll be amazed if we survive

Low low low

This race to space
We'll learn to release ourselves from the weights of gravity
Our highs are higher than our lows
This world's a state of mind
I can hear your thoughts much too clearly
From slime to ape, we'll learn to fly

Low low low

Oh, we're so powerful
Watch these giants collide
So individual, will we ever find peace of mind

Low low low


11.Laid

This bed is on fire
With passionate love
The neighbours 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'm becoming a bore, oh no
Ah, you think you're so pretty

Caught your hand inside the till
Slammed your fingers in the door
Fought with kitchen knives and skewers
Dressed me up in womens clothes
Messed around with gender roles
Dye my eyes and call me pretty

Moved out of the house, so you moved next door
I locked you out, you cut a hole in the wall
I found you sleeping next to me, i thought i was alone
You're driving me crazy, when are you coming home


12.Lullaby

Since 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

Every view they hold on you's
A piano, out of tune
You're an angel
You're a demon
You're just human
Now your world has turned to trash
Broken windows on the past
Take that child and teach him senseless
Damage the dream, damage the dream
I feel nothing, i feel nothing at all
I feel nothing at all

In this gloomy, haunted place
All the feelings are of shame
All the windows have been broken by the children
So the wind screams up the stairs
Slams the doors and rattles chairs
I wish we weren't conceived in violence
Damage the dream, damage the dream
The magic is broken
The house is in ruins
Your memory's one-sided
The side that you're choosing feels nothing
Feels nothing at all
We feel nothing at all


13.Skindiving

Reach your hands inside this dream
Unzip the skin, release the sleep
Going down, i'm growing wings
Hope i can fly before i hit the ground
I can hear your thoughts arise
From these depths to creamy skies
Drifting down the water's cool
Let the weeds cover you

The silvery storms show nothing here
The surface domes the water's clear
The water's clear
