1.It's Over
作詞:Jason Toop Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl
Thompson
I get up and it's over
It's always over
It's raining and I'm burned
And it's late and you're gone
And I can barely remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another week
There must be something going on
A nagging sense of shame I can't explain
An acrid taste of smoke and blood
And tears and drugs
And every inch of me is raw
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm blind
And it's late and you're gone
I can't do this anymore
I can't do this anymore
Keep getting there
It's over, it's always over
It's raining and I'm cracked
And it's late and you're out
And I can't quite remember
Anything I did or said
Or how I lost another year
There must be something coming down
A sweetly sour unease it's like a tease
A broken dream of guilt and fear
And spit and steel
And every piece of me in pain
And it's always fucking over
It's raining and it's cold
And it's late and you're out again
Run my head around it
Like I know I really miss her
But I always want to do it now
She told me in a whisper
I try so hard to place it
Wonder why I really feel it
When to send the pretty flowers
Maybe helps her to believe it
Run my tongue along it
Oh, the taste is something sicker
But you know you have to do it now
She told me in a whisper
It only takes a second
But the second lasts forever
Close your eyes
And let me take you down
And I get up and it's over
It's always fucking over
It's raining and I'm wrecked
And it's late and you're
No, I can't remember anything I did or said
Or how I lost another life
I lost another life, I lost another life
I lost another life
Oh, I can't do this anymore
No, I can't do this anymore
2.Sirensong
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl Thompson
It could've been her golden hair that turned my head
I didn't look to stare like I was hypnotized
But I was fixed on how she pointed slowly down and low I sank
And still without a sound the world was far away and I was
tricked
It could've been her silver skin that drew me on
I didn't mean to spin like I was mesmerized
But I was rapt without a name or memory
I waited there too scared to even breathe
She sang, she sang, she sang
She sang
Tell me you love me and beg me to stay
She sang
Tell me you love me before it's too late
She sang
Give me your life or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again
It could've been her crystal eyes that made me stop
I didn't want to sigh like I was stupefied but I was thrown
And at that point of no return my whole life hanging on a single
word
To be hers evermore or mine alone
She sang, she sang, she sang
She sang
Tell me you love me and beg me to stay
She sang
Tell me you love me before it's too late
She sang
Give me your life or I must fly away
And you will never hear this song again
3.Switch
作詞:Jason Toop Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl
Thompson
Sometimes it seems I stopped being myself
Without a word turned into somebody else
Full of wishes, wants, dreams and desires for a life
Of conceit and deceit, and repeat, and rewrite
Not sure who I was before this me and I changed
But I know this me now is not really the same
Friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah, my friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
Everyday my world gets slower
And colder and smaller, and older, and lower
Everyday my treat gets closer to trick
Everyday my world gets slower
And colder and smaller, and older, and lower
I'm tired of being alone with myself
I'm tired of being with anyone else
Yeah, I'm tired, I'm sick
None of my favorite thing's quite right
To the mirror man screaming at me
In the spite of another false start, dirty worn out and used
Up and down to the ground, disavowed, so confused
All made up in the belief that me is the same
As the eyes in the glass but I see my eyes change
Friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm wired in a why
Yeah, my friends are as strangers and strangers as friends
And I feel like I'm lost in a lie
Every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter, and tighter, and slicker
Every night my truth gets closer to dare
Yeah, every night my world gets quicker
And lighter and shorter, and tighter, and slicker
I'm sick of being alone with myself
I'm sick of being with anyone else
Yeah, I'm sick of being alone with myself
I'm sick of being with anyone else
Yeah, I'm sick, like I'm tired, like I'm scared
4.The Hungry Ghost
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl Thompson
All the things we never know we need
Looks like we get them in the end
Measure time in leisure time and greed
And by the time we get to spend
A floating bed, a head of stone
A home plugged into every phone
Kimono coral floral print
Exclusive tint and cut reclusive
No, it doesn't come for free
But it's the price we pay for happiness
No, don't talk about more to life than this
Dream a world maybe no one owns
No, don't think about all the life we miss
Swallow doubt as the hunger grows
Make believe it's like no one knows
Even if we turn more to most
We'll never satisfy the hungry ghost
All the stuff we know we never want
Seems like we get it anyway
Safe to say it isn't really wrong
Not when we know we only throw it all away
Yeah, all of this we never know we want
It's like we get it anyway
Safe to say it isn't ever wrong
Better to get than to delay
A 3D screen, a cleaner fit
A bit pulled out of every hit
Addicted latest greatest piece
Design caprice and make the headline
No, it doesn't come for free
But it's the price we pay for happiness
No, don't talk about more to life than this
Dream a world maybe no one owns
No, don't think about all the life we miss
Swallow doubt as the hunger grows
Make believe it's like no one knows
Even if we turn more to most
We'll never satisfy the hungry ghost
And all of this we know we never need
Well, it's the price we pay for happiness
5.The Real Snow White
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl Thompson
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
Yeah, you've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
Oh, yeah, it's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow I swear
She can barely breathe, don't stare
I know the dress is tight but it was all I had to wear
Give me what I need, please share
You know it's only right
And I would never lie to you, I wouldn't dare
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't start with anyone else
But you know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be broken in two
Sometimes the only thing to do
Oh, no, it's all coming back
How I came to in a sticky three day hole
Didn't see the sign, go slow
Too busy tuning static on the radio
She hissed it in a song, don't go
It always fades to black
But that's why I love the trip, it's so inevitable
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't fall for anyone else
But you know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be less than they seem
Whenever you've got what I need
And you've got what I need
You've got what I need
You've got what I need
For service with a smile
I have to walk in on my hands and roll for free
You say it's all the same, ennui
You're not the real snow white
The real snow white is on my knee
I didn't need to get, I did
It's simply minimum height
And getting all dressed up in seven ways to please
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't stay with anyone else but
You know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made to be broken one day
If there's no time to get away
She wasn't made to shine
She was really only ever made to glow
I left her in the dark, no show
Quiet sucking on a line, it was a tricky gun to load
And I didn't get to fire, hi-ho
She's off to work for time
I should have finished out with higher up than low
I made a promise to myself
I wouldn't stop with anyone else
But you know how it is with these promises
Made in the heat of the moment
They're made before right becomes wrong
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want
Whenever you've got what I want
And you've got what I want
You've got what I want
You've got what I want
Oh yeah, it's only for the night
And I will give it back tomorrow I swear
6.The Reasons Why
作詞:Jason Toop Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl
Thompson
I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
Got no need to understand about my big surprise
I won't beg to hang you up about my love of life
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
I am writing you a letter, getting better
Can I see you when
All the lights go out together, blame the weather?
Yeah, the cold again
In the darkness for a second
I am sure I see them smiling then
I feel them calling me
Yeah, they are calling me
And I am falling through the stars
(You remember now?)
Yeah, I am falling in their arms
(You remember how?)
Oh, I am falling through the skies
(You remember this?)
I am falling in their eyes
(You remember the kiss?)
I won't try to pull you in about my sacrifice
Makes no sense to get upset about the other side
I won't beg to put you out about my right to die
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
I am calling you at midnight feeling alright
Can I tell you when
On the line no sound but my words?
Must be night birds on the wire again
In the silence for a second
I am sure I hear them laughing then
I feel them calling me
Yeah, they are calling me
And I am falling through the stars
(You remember now?)
Yeah, I am falling in their arms
(You remember how?)
Oh, I am falling through the skies
(You remember this?)
I am falling in their eyes
(You remember our kiss?)
We know they said
You're holding on to nothing left of something gone
We know they said
In letting go of fear and dread and all you know
You'll lose the need of certainty
And make believe eternity
To find the true reality
In beautiful infinity
But I won't try to bring you down about my suicide
If you promise not to sing about the reasons why
7.The Scream
作詞:Jason Toop Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl
Thompson
Yeah, I've been this way before
But something down here changed
The spring sun hanging slower, colder in the sky
And your voice sounds strange, your voice sounds strange
Yeah, I've been down here before
But this time something really isn't right
Summer sun hangs smaller, paler in the sky
And your eyes are too bright, your eyes are too bright
It's like everything I know
Is twisted out and wrong
The fall sun hanging flatter, lower in the sky
And your smile is gone, your smile is gone
It's like twisted out I know
Now I can't wake to break apart this dream
Winter sun hangs weaker, older in the sky
And you start to scream, and you start to scream
Scream and you scream
This is not a dream
This is how it really is
There isn't any other, this is not a dream
Scream and you scream
Why you have this need?
Why you can't be satisfied?
Always want another, why you have this need?
Scream and you scream
Dare me to believe
Dare me now to show I care
One last chance to make the dare me to believe
Scream and you scream
How we ended here
How we got from then to now
Never really followed how we ended here
8.This. Here And Now. With You
作詞:Jason Toop Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl
Thompson
This here and now with you
This here and now with you
Oh, please don't ask me who I am or when and where my life began
Or why I ended up like this or how
Don't ask me what I was before, if I was anything at all
Its nothing you can know about me now
You hold my spinning head to stare and strip me bare of memory
Your black eyes burning into me so slow
The sounds and lights and others fade and fall away in symmetry
Your black eyes burning hungrily and unafraid I know
Everything I ever dared forget is here
Too scared before I never let, tonight be all I need
Everywhere I never tried to get is here
Too tired before to ever let, tonight be all I feel
Every time I ever thought regret is here
Too caught before I never let, tonight be all I dream
There isn't any yesterday, tomorrow starts a day away
This here and now with you is how always should always be
This here and now with you
This here and now with you
I can't believe its coming true, I'm so up close to kissing you
A breath away from never going home
I don't remember getting here, it seems to be sometime next year
I hope you won't be leaving me alone
No, please don't tell me who I am or when and where my life
began
Or why I ended up like this or how
Don't tell me what I was before, if I was anything at all
Its nothing you can know about me now
You pull my shaking body close to make the most of tangency
I bite your mouth so fearfully and slow
The taste of summers yet to shine, a perfect time to change the
scene
I bite your mouth in urgency and terrified I know
Everything I ever dared forget is here
Too scared before I never let, tonight be all I need
Everywhere I never tried to get is here
Too tired before to ever let, tonight be all I feel
Every time I ever thought regret is here
Too caught before I never let, tonight be all I dream
There isn't any yesterday, tomorrow starts a day away
This here and now with you is how always should always be
This here and now with you
This here and now with you
9.Underneath The Stars
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert J Smith, Porl Thompson
Floating here like this with you
Underneath the stars, alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful, ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars
Spinning round and round with you
Watching shadows melt the light
Soft shining from our eyes
Into another space is ours alone tonight
Watching shadows melt
And the waves break
And the waves break
Whisper in my ear a wish
We could drift away held tight
Your voice inside my head
The kiss is infinite and ours alone tonight
We could drift away
Flying here like this with you
Underneath the stars alight for 13 billion years
The view is beautiful and ours alone tonight
Underneath the stars
And everything gone and all still to come
As nothing to us together as one
In each others arms, so near and so far
Forever as now underneath the stars
As the waves break
10.The Only One
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert J Smith, Porl Thompson
Oh, I love, oh, I love
(Oh I love)
What you do to my head
When you pull me upstairs
And you push me to bed
I love what you do to my head
It's a mess out there
Oh, I love, oh, I love
(Oh I love)
What you do to my heart
When you push me back down
And then pull me apart
I love what you do to my heart
It's the best, oh yeah
Oh I love
(Oh I love)
What you do to my lips
When you suck me inside
And you blow me a kiss
I love what you do to my lips
It's so sweet in there
Oh I love, love, love
What you do to my hips
When you blow me outside
And then suck me like this
I love what you do to my hips
It's the beat, oh yeah
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets better everyday
I play with you, it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets better everyday, I say
With you it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets wetter everyday, I stay
With you, it's like a dream
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to my skin
And slide me in
I love what you do to my skin
It's a what I mean oh yeah
Oh I love, love, love, love
What you do to my bones
When you slide me up
And take me home
I love what you do to my bones
You're the only one I cry for
The only one I try to please
You're the only one I sigh for
The only one I die to squeeze
And it gets hazier anyway, I sway
With you it's such a scream
Yeah, it gets mazier every play, I say
With you it's so extreme
Yeah, it gets crazier everyday, I stay
With you it's like a dream
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love
What you do to me
11.Sleep When I'm Dead
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl Thompson
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
But until then
They told me I would live forever if I kept it clean
They said I would be the chosen one if I took one for the team
Yeah, it's the only way to be, never think it isn't fair
It's a green eyed panic climb to the edge of nowhere
Give it to the chicken and see if it ticks
Yeah, give it to the kitten and see if it sits
And give it to the wonderful, wonderful me
And I will tell on my return the way it is
With all the happy boys and girls
Yeah, the whole perfect happy world
And the love they feel for me
Yeah, the love they feel for me
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Told me I could run the world if I kept it quiet
They said I could be the man if I took it out of sight
In a monkey suit again having fun with all your friends
How a casual act can pull all this world to pieces
Give it to the pony and see if she kicks
Yeah, give it to the puppy and see if he sticks
And give it to the wonderful, wonderful me
I'll let you know when I get back just how it is
With all the other boys and girls
Yeah the whole fucking world
And the way it stirs inside
And the why it never burns at night?
And the way they make the climb
And the why they never pray for time
And the way I show surprise
And the why I never close my eyes
Yeah, just how it is
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead, I said
Sleep when I'm dead, you angels
I'll sleep when I'm dead
But until then
I should at least be tired I think
Before I lay me down to dream
12.The Perfect Boy
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl Thompson
'You and me are the world', she said
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream
Always meant to be
I can feel it like a destiny thing
Written in the stars, inescapable fate
Yeah, it's out of my hands falling into your arms
And I don't want to get innocent
But I would love you to take my time
'We're on the edge of a beautiful thing', she said
Come on, let's stay here for a while
Oh girl, he is the one for sure
Oh girl, he is the perfect boy
'Yeah, me and you are a world', he said
But not the only one I need
The two of us is never all there is
That doesn't happen for real
If it was meant to be us, it was meant to be now
Don't see the sense in wasting time
If you're so sure about this Laurel kismet Hardy thing
You know tonight you're mine
And I don't want to get obvious
But I have to be gone by three
'We're on the edge of a beautiful thing', he said
So come on jump with me
Oh girl, he's not the one for sure
Oh girl, he's not so wonderful
Oh girl, he's not the one for sure
Oh girl, he's not the perfect boy at all
'You and me are the world', she says
Nothing else is real
The two of us is all there is
The rest is just a dream
And her heart maybe broken a hundred times
But the hurt will never destroy her hope
The happy ever after girl
One day finds the perfect boy
13.Freakshow
作詞:Jason Cooper, Simon Gallup, Robert James Smith, Porl Thompson
I can't believe it, I must be dreaming
She turns the sound down, says, I am leaving
This is a freakshow and I am screaming
She spins the world round, I want to stop
Bitter sweet again, her opening move
Down and out in black, soft shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien crowd got groove
She burns her name into my arm but I can never get through
To play the game, she's trying to lose
Her ultraviolet makes it harder to choose
Looks like the edge of the earth got moved
She blurs a way across the floor, I spin to swallow the view
And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide, it's the same stare
Oh, it's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same but it's not quite right
Oh, it's insane, she shakes like a freak
Stuck in the middle of the room for a week
Looks like the only way to get on the beat
Is take her up on how to swing but I am missing my feet
And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide, it's the same swish
Oh, it's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same but it's not quite right
I'm in a step out, she's two more steps down
For three steps up clap and go around now
It makes my head buzz
She wants to come now, I try to stop
Always infradig her finishing move
Up and down in black, soft, shiny and smooth
Looks like the alien crowd got groove
She cuts a number out my arm but I can never get through
To play this game, she's trying to lose
The stuff from mars makes it harder to choose
Looks like the final frontier got moved
She blurs a way across the floor, I spin to swallow the view
And it's the same sway
Yeah, it's the same slide, it's the same strip
Oh, it's the same smile
Yeah, it's the same but it's not quite right
I can't believe it, I must be dreaming
She turns the lights up, says she is leaving
This is a freakshow and I am beaten
She spins the world round, I have to stop
