A Regret To Forget
02:04
|
|||
|
None of the girls
None of the girls out there alive
At least to me and my kind
At least to me and my wretched kind
Hold on
As we are in a loop of regret/forget
Like this part
Stolen, butchered and so very wrong
And regrets thought forgotten
Still appear
In our dreams
To remind us they're still here
Yeah remind us
They're not going anywhere
Soon

Watch as she burns
And laughs to the air
Cajoles the cash
From the hands of dead men
Not afraid anymore
That's for other times
And other lives
For this is now
And now is young
CH: She keeps dancin'
Laboured breaths are drawn
Roles to play
Before we all fade away
Before we fade away
Little roles to play
In this third act
Of nothing much at all
Now see how it burns
Visibly unstable
No more fear
Another time
Another life
He is here again
But he's never lived
He will never, ever live

Cause An Effect

(I woke up)
My mind does not want this
My hidden movements exposed
And I suppose I'm always on the wall
Trying to seduce the fools
Crammed as they are in their death cars
They cause an effect
(I woke up)
Now am I moving at all
(I woke up)
Or am i just the object on the wall?

Dog In The Fight

I know you hope I'll get better
So we don't choke on my despair
And I know you know I am bitter
But I can't reach inside to care
CH: I float on
An isthmus often spent
Either side of me
A chance for recompense
But I know I'll never get better
And what this is, it's here for good
I know your life would be better
If I could move to one side
CH: I float on
An isthmus often spent
Either side of me
A chance for recompense
Float on
Often spent
Either side of me
A chance for recompense
I know you know
That I know

Tall, higher costs
Just a moment, punishment tough
And graphic, dirty fingers
Suture running, in a rush
Here, here they come
Oh, here they come
Here they come
Blitzkreig on Pervitin
Here they come
Oh, here they come
Here, here they come
Back again
Oh, here they come
Retreat, no Pervitin
Not much fun
Here they come

Work
From the window
So confused now
I made up a glass printer (to)
Protect my chosen purpose
Protect my chosen purpose
Protect my, protect my
Protect my chosen purpose
Felled
Like a man with no name
Desired, open windows
Shared thoughts, broken dreams
Protect my chosen purpose
Protect my chosen purpose
Protect my, protect my
Protect my chosen purpose
CH: I'm going in, I'm flying
I'm going in, I'm flying
Come on in, flying
Come in, look at me, I'm swelling

Gone Home
01:46

Try to understand with your eyes closed
Be known by threats made by those
Who split a square into squares
And hide hands in land
Unused
Train of thought disturbed
Vertical verisimilitude
Adjust by adjusting the height
Adjust by lowering the legs
The curtain did not break
Fasteners still attached
Adjust by changing the width
Adjust by causing me pain
Respect my pain
You cannot escape
Strange quiet,
Damp, flat,
Low
Land
Landscape, canal, river,
Water discoloured
Pipelines, blocked channels,
Soft, dry, low
Close your eyes for good now
And you will
Know

Hope You Get This

'Hello?'
Mrs Armitage?
Mrs Armitage?
'She's not here'
That's you isn't it?
'I don't know what you mean'
Alright give her a message:
When you're feeling down and out
And you want someone you can
Talk it out with
I hope you don't think of me
As a friend who'll help you
In your time of need
So I hope you get this man
And think twice before you
Pick up that phone and call me
Yeah I hope you get this man
As I don't care if you are
Happy, sad or live or die
He's not a man your husband, he's a puking boy
Can't even lay a girl without the whole world knowing it
Beth says he makes her sick with his slop
If ever I hear his stinking voice, I'll pull it out of his throat
That's you isn't it?
Tell her that Beth Conway is pregnant and it's not mine
Thought she might be interested
'I'll tell her'
Tell her my wife is going to have this kid in a public ward
And if there's any way of stopping her getting a whiff of gas,
I shall find it
'She's can't have it?'
Oh she's going to have it alright
She's going to wipe its bottom
She's going to stare at its ugly mug the rest of her life
I'm going to grind the slime out of her
I'm going to see that she ...
(phone slams)
Yeah I hope you get this man
As I don't care if you are
Happy, sad or live or die

If It Were Up To Me
02:46
|

|
Oh, If it were up to me
I'd let it burn to the ground
If it were up to me
I'd start fires that never went out
If it were up to me
You'd all be in the ground
And if it were up to me
There'd be nothing left here alive

He's dead
but how?
I don't know
Of love and crime and death
Of love and crime and death
Death
Don't let me go again
I'll try and get away but you mustn't let me
No matter what I do or what I say
There's death there for me

Love Shamed Eyes
02:55
|

|
Don't be so low she said to me
Life's no exercise in avoiding the grave
My love shamed eyes, broken, disguised
My love shamed eyes
Never show, never show, never show, never show
What you mean when you say
Never go, never go, never go, never go
Away
Never show
And never go
Never show
And never go
Where to look, where to find the words
To tell her of my damaged bones
Holding on to blame like its a sword
And finger pointing up to the sky
Never show, never show, never show, never show
What you mean when you say
Never go, never go, never go, never go
Away
Never show
And never go
Never show, never show, never show, never show
What you mean when you say
Never go, never go, never go, never go
Away
Never show, never show, never show, never show
What you mean
Never go, never go, never go, never go
Away
And come back

Talk about the world
The Moon and the dying
Your hands somewhere and anywhere
Berating me, disappearing now
Beyond the edge of despair
And your mind now
It's everywhere but nowhere
Dragging you on to the limits and beyond

Open To Suggestion
02:18
|
|||
|
I want to be in the park at dawn
I want to be alone with the sky
So I can have one chance at life
When all chance has passed me by
Disturb the fabric of our lives won’t you?
Open to suggestion as to what next to do
As if I have a chance in my life
As if it hasn’t been just a waste of time
As if it could mean anything at all
To the park, to the sky, to the passerby
Disturb the fabric of our lives won’t you?
Open to suggestion as to what next to do

On the road
The road to home, to bed, to rest
To rest
Unblinking eye
Staring ahead in fear of the night
And rest
CH: Less is more
Unless, more or less,
More is more
And less is just less
Dying light on clouds
Hung in the sky like memories
Of rest
Elements designed
To seduce my mind to its destined rest
Oh its rest
CH x2

Quinine Overdose

Oh this and this again
Seen, unseen
All the lies in between
The loves
Forthright, demanding, steadfast, contriving
In my mind where ...
CH: The time has come at last
Oh the time of future’s past
Oh this unwelcome world
Here, not here
Deep down below
Withered away
Strained, dividing, leaving, beside you
An ocean of dismay where ...
CH: The time has come at last
Oh the time of future’s past

So-So

We the never known
Piled into barren, dead zones
Calling out to passing trains
Calling out just to know their names
CH: Baby, baby you've got me on the down low
I never know when to come and when to go
Baby, baby I'm feelin' so so-so
Never know when you want me and when you don't
We will never found
Trampled way down in the underground
Our cries too low to be heard
By the passing trains of the absurd

Silohettes, still regrets
Designed to die
Opalled lives, consequenced
On borrowed time
And counterfeit, once removed
Resigned to die
Harder down, disappears
Into the mantled sky
CH: Whatever they said next
Was the word
It happened to be 'nothing at all'
We don't care
About what we don't know
And we don't know
About most everything
Repeat chorus

Un Deux Fuck Trois
02:02

Cold on the river bank
Chained together
As sold slaves
The clouds coming together
There are already plans
A connection time
Many dead, or at least not alive
The flag is behind
marked son taken away
No time for presentations
Today, a full book
It's the fourth of fifth day
Of whatever the fuck this is
A few people heard and saw
Up to 10, maybe less
maybe more
maybe fuck all
Un deux fuck trois
Cold on the river bank
The clouds coming together
A connection time
Many dead, or at least not alive

Velodrome Inspection

(Repeat it again)
She of the checked dress, glasses
Checks the address of the depressed
But she doesn't know of
The velodrome
What of her when there is no more when?
What of any of us as we descend?
Into the order of her mind
Into the chaos left behind
But she doesn't know of
(Repeat it again)
The velodrome

1 Oh, where does the sadness go?

You Sick Fuck

Blue, black and white in the dark
Sometimes the clock ticks
Right on the wired road
Insects jump like rocks
Through fires lit by birds
Who can see the end of it all
Blue pilots, sullen withdrawn
They know where their bones are and end
CH: I forgot and fell in love with the land below
You and I need to meet on the land below
Light towers outside the city
Dust just left on the screen
Cement, sorrow, confidence
Bright lights for low times
Down in the dark
Passed all conceivable hope
Faster than the speed of signs
Faster than we could go above these clouds
