There's that house where I used to live
Here comes that man, Christ, he gives me a headache
I don't like all these sharks in the city
They don't do much for me anyway

You're not very well are you?

There's that car that I used to swerve
This town traffic is knocking me over
You never knew so you never ask
There's more to me and I'll show it if you, you say

You're not very well are you?

One step forward into mine
Faking pictures and opening doorways
There's only one I insist upon
And you take two 'cause it's easy for you

You're not very well are you?

You know where I'm coming from
So won't you get me there?
You're so ashamed, you're so far away

Intervene and you privatise
Health is health and I don't know about it
So why don't you leave us lot alone
you're so selfish, you'll do it on your own

You're not very well are you?
You're not very well are you, are you?

. . .


When my white shirt lets me down
Like one we race against the wind
You said that I've seen better days
I wash her silver hair away

Chorus
I'm going to be
(I'm going to be)
In heaven when you say
(In heaven when you say)
I'm too young to waste to ever be denied
(You're too young)
She laughed and then she died

Heard you said to me today
You're safe but you're so far away
You're beautiful how could you be so green
Tomorrow it holds the cause again

Chorus

And someone said to me
You've taken this too far
But I can't be asked to change
You're so vain
You're open all day
I'm glad I got it sorted now

Heard you said to me today
You're safe but you're so far away
Cos' I'm beautiful how could you be so green
Tomorrow it holds the cause again
Again, again, again

Chorus

. . .


The only one I know
Has come to take me away
The only one I know
Is mine when she stitches me

The only one I see
Has found and aching in me
The only one I see
Has turned her tongue into me

CHORUS

Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain
Everyone has been burned before
Everybody knows the pain

The only one I know
Never cries, never opens her eyes
The only one I know
Wide awake and then she's away

The only one I see
Is mine when she walks down our street
The only one I see
Has carved her way into me

CHORUS (2X)

. . .


A boy with a stronger emotion, has nothing on me I've got this one
Going round round round this sensation I found in my soul
Love as it touches perfection, a balance of truth and correction
Going round round round this sensation I found again

Station to station, this sensation, a celebration
I won

Speculation reassures your opinion to presume you are the answer division
Going round round round this sensation I found in my soul
This hated body's persuasion, on any level of the organisation
Going round round round this sensation I found again

Ooh, ooh, ooh

Station to station, this sensation, a celebration
I won

A stranger in awe of the chaos in reality he never could save us
Going round round round this sensation I found in my soul
Again, again, again, again this sensation
I fucking won

. . .


I wanna bomb your submarines
You don't do anything for me
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then

You, you're nothing next to me
I'm a phenomena you see
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then

Furious again, furious again

You don't do anything for me
We are a phenomena you see
You were sometimes hard to find
You were never safe to be with, then

Furious again, furious again

And you
You give it all to me
You never listen to a thing I said
You're furious, I'm glorious
You never hurt me that much

[No lyrics]

. . .


World's no place to love in
She doesn't know what day it is
Freezing to death with no clothes on
Do you know what you are

It took me ages to find my way home
Give me a lead to hold on to
It's alright for you, she said faintly
You gave it away

I've never had one of those

Change of scene
Is all I need to breathe again
As soon as I thought it was over
It started again

I've never had one of those

Life's a bag of Revels
And I'm looking for the orange one
She's gone
And not for the first time

I've never had one of those

World's no place to love in
She doesn't know what day it is
Have you seen my polar bear
It's that white thing over there

I've never had one of those

How many ways, how many ways
How many ways do you fall before you're shot down?
How many ways, how many ways
How many ways, do you know?

. . .


With all the world developments
Why do they make me laugh at you?
And all the world can take you for
Is something else, you're so low

There's someone else inside of me
Who doesn't make me want to kill
And all the time you're pushing me
I never knew that you were ill

And all the time you think you're it
When you've got nothing else to give
Open it up and take it out
I'll never know what's under that

(Who was that) who killed your lover?
(Who was that) who killed your lover?

It wasn't me
It wasn't believe you me
Not me, not me, not me, not me
Who killed your lover
Who killed your lover
Not me, not me.

. . .


Don't bring me flowers to my bed
I don't wish you to know
It's time to find myself again

As cold as houses on your street
As hollow as my own
I hope you wish them all away

CHORUS

Time to say goodbye
Bye to the bad bad girl
It's time to say goodbye
Bye to the bad bad girl

Don't bring me flower to my bed
She got what she deserved
I told her I am of my time

As cold as houses on my street
As hollow as my own
I hope you wish them all away

CHORUS (2X)

. . .


Illustrate and beautify
This one time painting is sinking so fast
What you need is someone like me
These weeks are too long
You're drifting too far out

CHORUS

I know where this one belongs
There's truth in all I see
I don't know where money goes
Think about it

I know some things are better left
To die in a coma along with the builders
What you need is someone like me
I can throw out what's buried inside here

CHORUS

(Repeat 2nd verse)

CHORUS

Think about it
Think about it
Think about it

. . .


This one knows she comes and goes
And when she goes she goes
This one knows she comes and goes
And when she goes she goes

Sproston Green she used to pace me
And now she hasn't got the time
I know I'm too necessary
And everything she stole was mine

(Repeat first and second verses)

You've got this one
I've got no one
She's oh she's part of something wrong

Oooh...

. . .
