Standing with the rich, waiting to get in One step, two step waiting to get in Is this just the same, as any other day? Do my eyes look any other way? Am I making sense? Flicker flicker flash Start stop flicker, TV set A buzzing in my ear, far too loud to hear Start stop buzzing, high pitched squeal Chorus: (Somebody, you know, I dunno, I dunno, I dunno)x2 Going to the shop, waiting to get off Waiting, waiting, waiting to get off Baby won’t you breath, a sigh of relief Shut your eyes and breath with me. Shadows in the street, chasing me Stop my heart does chase a beat Lay me down to bed, you are in my head A soundtrack to a memory Repeat chorus Standing with the rich, waiting to get in One step, two step waiting to get in Is this just the same, as any other day? Do my eyes look any other way? Somebody you know, Your my touch and go Repeat chorus

Dawn 04:39
Take your pills and go to sleep Don’t wake up till the morning’s gone The water got a little deep The road became a little long I’ll take your painted dreams I’ll take your memories I’ll take the moving parts of your, soul, soul, soul, soul Chorus: What’s this fiction of control? I swear the only song you wrote Ooh, at least you got your soul, forgetting all your health But you’ve got to let this go The morning dawned a little grey And your worlds they came apart My love I never heard you say Those little words of the heart I’ll take your clutching hands I’ll take your burning hair I’ll take your breaking heart and I’ll, go, go, go, go Repeat chorus Half chorus: (What’s this fiction of control?) x2 (Just like you’ve always said) x2 (Just like you’ve always said now) x2 (Just like you’ve always said) x2 Just like you’ve always said now, no, no, no, no Repeat chorus.

Late night, the natives are swarming Those heels, will bruise in the morning Taxi queue, at late night hero’s missing shoes Rain dance, summon the goddess Move fast, she favours the hardest Liquor please, a necklace made of human teeth. Last chance, to get to the party Head down, climb over the bodies Ticker tape, end of world parade Crash automatic don’t let go Whatever’s left can be the door Rain dance, summon the goddess Move fast, she favours the hardest Taxi queue, at late night hero’s missing shoes Last chance, to get to the party Head down, crawl over the bodies Ticker tape, end of world parade Crash automatic don’t let go Whatever’s left can be the door There’s one more poison left to take To mark the end of world parade (Around and around we go) x 7 Around and around Crash automatic don’t let go Whatever’s left can be the door There’s one more poison left to take To mark the end of world parade

You, Your sad eyes, your dolls house placed around you Chained, chained to the floor, where your born to grow old Time, aint healing the deamons in your mind Help, I’m trying to find, the pretty face behind, the clouds, So…. (Chorus 1) Breath, breath and believe Believe in me I don’t want to hurt you Set, set yourself free The life you want Only comes half way to you Your, dolls house closes in, each memory begins to slowly fool you The lies, spat in your face, the heartbreak it aches, people take things from you I can’t remember what it is, I miss my man and kids, I cannot go back The things, things that I’ve seen, the places I’ve been, they’ll never understand, So…. (Chorus 2) Run, run for the sun It’s there for everyone I need this like you do Hold, onto my hand The promised land Is just a shell to break through Breath, breath and believe Believe in me I don’t want to hurt you Set, set yourself free The life you want Only comes half way to you (Instrumental) Repeat chorus 2

Keep It Low 04:29
Your last chance to come out clean, I swear Your last chance to tell on me, I swear I was laughing out an open stream of prayers, I am living out a life long dream, who cares? Hope, fell on you Each day’s, broken shoes Chorus: My baby wants me to keep it low now Oh baby won’t you keep it low now Oh baby how my heart does sing loud So baby won’t you keep it low now Love will come take you anywhere, I swear My last chance I’ll take you anywhere, I swear You can bail on me anytime, I swear Set up shop in another life, I swear Hope, fell on you A new day’s, broken shoes

Foam Party 03:29
I want you to know, I want you to know I tell you so I feel just like you, I feel just like you You say you do You stand at my place, you stand at my face You really do You stand in my place, you fall from my grace Just like you do Your cold money face, is so hard to place And all the rest Your cold angry face, is so hard to trace I say it best You foam at the mouth, you lie through your teeth Of what’s beneath You foam at the mouth, you lie through your teeth Just out of reach Bridge: ((It aint so, I don’t know x 3) So sick and dirty that I wanna collect you boy) x 2 Guitar solo You foam at the mouth, you lie through your teeth Of what’s beneath You foam at the mouth, you lie through your teeth Just out of reach

You 03:05
You, you the one who’s always on my mind For a very long time, I know, you’re the only thing that got me through It was never me, but you, you’re the one who shut me on outside And now it’s you, oh you, you’re the one who can’t tell me what to do Now I’m living alone Chorus: What’s that inside your head? X What’s that you tried to say? X 2 Outro: I wish that you would come back smiling I wish you had new hope for me cause you didn’t have anything else I hoped that you would come back smiling I wish you had new hope for me cause you didn’t have anything else You, you’re the only one who’s always on my mind, for a long, long time

Baby’s gotta brand new plan He drinks, he drinks, to keep him awake now Coming out again Running out on me again The things, he takes, to keep him awake now Running out again Don’t be so surprised, the love lost in their eyes My baby still, gets his thrills, pink and yellow pretty pills Johnny’s gotta back up plan He drinks, he drinks, to take him away now Going outta my head He’s coming round over again The things, we say, to keep us awake now Going outta my head Our love runs out again No feeling for our friends Don’t forget to smile, we’re going to be here for a while Evening news, sing the blues, greasy hair and frumpy shoes Take me back to bed, hearing voices in my head Baby says, it’s OK, loving eyes and a sunken face My baby’s gotta a brand new plan!

Tell Me 03:26
Life was better yesterday, we’re all slaves who pay, pay, pay I hate school and I hate work, I hate law and I hate church You tried to think but thought too deep, put your intellect to sleep Now all you do is scream and shout, wash the bullshit out your mouth Chorus: Oh, won’t you tell me Oh, won’t you whisper in my ear There’s a brand new working class, working from the centre out Marx and Mau and Trotsky too, are bourgeoisie compared to you Smoke your weed and talk your shit, cut off all your benefits But you will never smash the state, the revolution’s come too late Repeat chorus So tip your hat when we walk by, spread your legs for the weeping sky Carve your name into the void, Satan entertains our noise Repeat chorus
