Hit me hit me hit me I’m already on the ground
Your asleep in the next room and I’m banging to be found
I cannot feel my body and I’m floating then I’m drowned
And nothing I have taken keeps it down
It’s a ride
Help me help me help me it’s a bitter hit to take
When I’m shaking once again this is too long to be awake
With the ignorance of new year
You could save me for your sake
Because I’m falling through the plans that we made
It’s a ride
My medicine
Happy happy happy you can lie behind the eyes
Without telling those around you that you’ve built your own disguise
Now time can only end it when the remedy’s not found
Just wrap it up and never take it out
It’s alright

. . .


Phone phone the red receiver at the end of the bed it keeps getting clearer
Rings run running around me
Untying the ribbons for the good of the family
And your dear friends gathered together
You were looking for trouble now your losing your temper

Cold feet in London
Useless confetti
No groom
No first kiss
No diamonds for the girl

Don’t look in the side of the wardrobe
The white dress hangs tall as a tightrope
Clothes piled high in a suitcase
Better get moving fast for it’s too late
And you dear friends gathered in darkness
Formed a search and followed their partners

Cold feet in London
Useless confetti
No groom
No first kiss
No diamonds for the girl

[Rings Around! ....the calender] x 8

So phone phone the red receiver at the end of the bed but no one will be here

Cold feet in London
Useless confetti
No groom
No first kiss
No diamonds for the girl

. . .


One year in five we’ll stay alive it’s a reason to behold
When it’s just another fear to fry within this sacred fold

I am innocent
I am innocent

The sweat pours in like an ancient grin and laughs like a suffering one
It’s colder now as my mouth runs out
How many times are we taken over?

I am innocent (Yah!)
I am innocent

There’s one of us in the middle and there’s two now on the end
Do you have the guts to falsify as you stand up on the ledge?

You are innocent
You are innocent

Sentencing can’t save me and I shuffle to the night
Without curtains closed
My substance's old

I am innocent
I am innocent

. . .


Dance me in
Show me the first part
I’ll pay close detail
To every note in every chart
An escaped voice speaks from the corner of the room
It’s avoiding the plans
Sneaking past the narrow truth
Everyone else follows through
You speak for all men
The hopeless telling of sorries cling to your lungs
In the print of tomorrow what reminds me of them does not remind me of yours
Remind me of the young
Dance me in
Just dance me in
Lose on both sides until there are two
I’m sat at the last table
My talk wearing thin
I’ll wait for answers
I’ll wait for answers
Just dance me in

. . .


Taking your time until they swallowed every line
Castrating everyone
Now there's bodies on the run
We're waiting we're waiting
You're burying my good name
Keep burying my name

Tight lips have cracked
Mouthing behind their backs
The forks down the throat of them all til we choked
We're waiting we're waiting
You're burying my good name
Keep burying my name

And now we're all sworn in by the shadows whisperings
Markings on the door
Then we drop onto the floor
We're waiting we're waiting
You're burying my good name
Keep burying my name

. . .


Too much you need
Too much you need
He's a genuine boy with a guilty smile

Hands to pull you forward faster
You and your game is not the answer
Not on your own

Too much you need
Too much you need
He's a genuine boy with a guilty smile

Had to fool you're forward faster
You're smashing heads and breaking ladders
All on your own

Your further on
But you can taste the last girl
She's the servant to the master
Oh now your on your own

Too much you need
Too much you need
He's a genuine boy with a guilty smile

Hands to pull you forward faster
You and your game is not the answer
Not on your own

Outrun yourself to find the next
You'll take what's coming
Catch your own death
All on your own

Too much you need
Too much is greed
He's a genuine boy with a guilty smile

. . .


Where did you come from,
What have we started?
Maybe I'll call you a liar.
Under command I'm taken by hand,
Mistaken the words on the wire.

[Take me down again, pull me down again, take me down and then
Ah ah ah ah ah.] x2

Don't go and ask your sick little questions
I can't find the cure for desire
If it continues, I'm saving myself
By putting my hands in the fire

[Take me down again, pull me down again, take me down again
Ah ah ah ah ah.] x2

What's natural and real like monsters, We
Like banshees that's what we've become
There’s half a discussion and then we ask:
What kind of love we have

You know where the door is
Can't give you myself
Compassion's just a word
In a dictionary on your shelf
Manogamy to you seems just black and blue
All the best psychotic lovers ain't got nothing on you

[Take me down again, pull me down again, take me down again
Ah ah ah ah ah.] x2

What's natural and real like monsters, We
Are like banshees with what we've begun
It's up for discussion and then we ask:
What kind of love..we have.

What's natural and real like monsters, We
Are like banshees with what we've begun
It's up for discussion and then we ask:
What kind of love..we have.

...Listen...

On a blue antique night, in early October
His wavy brown hair stuck wet to his shoulder
And its click. click. click, go the heels of his feet, listen..

[ Da da da da da da da da dum (whistle) ... listen ]

How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited,
The milk's in a pile by the door.
While a series is playing on terrestrial TV
The neighbours - they don't even know
And its click. click. click, go the heels of his feet, listen..

[ Da da da da da da da da dum (whistle) ... listen ]

oooOOO.....LOOK OUT!
[ Then hang her out, Then hang her out, Then hang her out to dry (LOOK OUT!) ] x4

The meal that she was going to eat for her dinner is left on a plate by the stove,
While there's unopened bills and letters and junkmail all strewn on the mat by the door.
And its click. click. click, go the heels of his feet, listen..

[ Da da da da da da da da dum (whistle) ... listen ]

oooOOO.....LOOK OUT!
[ Then hang her out, Then hang her out, Then hang her out to dry (LOOK OUT!) ] x4

[ RAMA LAMA LAMA - shake shake shake shake ] x8

How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited,
The papers are felled in the clothes.
While she'd face down in porcelain - an inch full of bathwater
The neighbours they don't even know..or care...
And it's drip. drip. drip goes the tap on her ankles.

[ Da da da da da da da da dum (whistle) ... listen ]

oooOOO.....LOOK OUT!
[ Then hang her out, Then hang her out, Then hang her out to dry (LOOK OUT!) ] x4

[ RAMA LAMA LAMA - shake shake shake shake ] x8

She said it’s all you’ll need to be disheartened
Go over the words
Repeat
We’ll get it started

You made the first move
When I was near you
We turned wrong to right

I’d heard people say
He was a good man in his day
All I can say
All I concede
The smile disappeared into his straight face

You made the first move
When I was near you
We turned wrong to right

And now that I can hear
And it all has past
I thank myself for seeing it out
The next will last

You made the first move
When I was near you
We turned wrong to right

. . .


Well you can love this feeling and never feel alive,
And a hopeless silence falls between our eyes,
Its not just tonight, its not just tonight.
We'll be sat in waiting for words we cant deny.

[ Go....Gone ] x2

I gotta be clear to, that you are here to
Find a false witness, its somebody near you
One of us is right, None of this is right
I cut you out of every photograph within and inch of your life.

[ Go....Gone ] x4

You take me down by these arms of affection
I tried to escape and Im trying to follow some direction
See the end in sight, See the end in sight
Well Ive crossed the foot Im stepping over but nothing left is mine.

[ Go....Gone ] x4

La la la....
