1.A Vision Of Dead Desire

Primary prole mp judge general policeman
Figureheads sucked in as just another token
To sell your culture and tolerate another
Annihilation in the pursuit of self-love corruption

Vision of dead desire - tune in reception control
Vision of dead desire - underclass coma zone

Don't pacify your life to suit dead law convention
White trash held up as just more gold chain icons
State fed lies charm empty eyes
Happy thoughts a unity death smile of acceptance

Vision of dead desire - mainline on a death fix
Vision of dead desire - bleed the thought of throwing bricks

Europe land, realise your thoughts
Kill all ruling class laws


2.Ain't Goin' Down

Praying that you'll fall down soon (fall soon)
And your guiltless sex will break in two (break in two)
We brought you sensitivity and you never knew

No we ain't going down
No we ain't going down

I get down to nothing and jumbled up again (up again)
Praying your injection is just too good to end (good to end)
When the summer's gone you know it's dead

No we ain't going down
No we ain't going down

No we ain't going down
No we ain't going down
No we ain't going down
No we ain't going down


3.Are Mothers Saints

If piss is yellow, then life must be grey
How come they smile when we throw it away
And if it is a colour than it must be sin
And you want to apologise but keep it in
Why worship a god when a mother is a saint
Why worship stone
They give life and take it back
Spit you out but understand

And when their arms are dead how do they sigh
As gentle as the winter that fades by
And some kind of angel appears in her eyes
Or is it just the devil screaming inside
Why give into useless devotion
Truth and beauty, love and hate, mother and god
They give life and take it back
Spit you out but understand
Stay silent when you want to shout
Give, give when we piss it away


4.Black Garden

There's a little part of me
There's a little part of you
Remember the feeling
Of a frozen embryo

There's a bigger part of me
There's a bigger part of you
Remember the place where
You don't want to go

Welcome into your own black garden
It's full of life but it's still too frightening
Can't open my eyes this whiteness blinds
All this whiteness blinds

Watch the swallows cloud the sky
Watch the swallows slowly die
I used to throw stones
But now i have none

Watch the swallows cloud the sky
Watch the swallows slowly die
I used to throw stones
But now i have none

Waiting to be bred in the black garden
Waiting to be muted and then chosen
White trash you're a swinger ugly to the end
Ugly to the end
Ugly to the end


5.Black Holes For The Young

Lots of sun for you young boy
Lots of sun for you today
Subsidize the opera forget coal
Sit around in the london smog

Cappuccinos amongst the fumes
Breathe it in and down the gym
Yes i'm on a witch hunt now
And paracetemol my only drug

You've got some black holes for the young
You won't feel it when it's gone
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't know when it's gone, when it's gone

No sun for you young boy
It will hurt your lily white skin
I don't think it will hurt your mind
We'll be the ones who will give you soul

Close enough to fill all those holes
This tenderness slipping through my fingers
Sandy sandy feet - ice cream to sleep
No more feeling that you can feel

You've got some black holes for the young
You won't feel it when it's gone
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't know when it's gone, when it's gone

When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, when it's gone
When it's gone, gone

You've got some black holes for the young
You won't feel it when it's gone
You've got some black holes for the young
You won't know when it's gone, when it's gone


6.Bored Out Of My Mind

I'm ... i'm feeling too awake
I'm ... i'm tired of what i see
Everybody's dreaming running for the scream
The media's stinking drunk nothing is at stake

All the faces i love their skin as soft as leprosy
Words choked on my lies repeating love till they cry
All the faces i love their skin as soft as leprosy
I'm bored out of my mind and i'm too stoned lazy to see

The sun ... the sun is leaving me
I can't ... see it anymore
I tried everything to get along with you
The nights too lonesome when the heat doesn't care

All the faces i love their skin as soft as leprosy
Words choked on my lies repeating love till they cry
All the faces i love their skin as soft as leprosy
I'm bored out of my mind and i'm too stoned lazy to see


7.Buildings For Dead People

We build buildings for the dead
We build restrooms for the sick
We build up walls for everything
We make a wall for the sake of it

And buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes

And buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes

Queue for bread is entertainment
When they're trying to blow your head off
So from the womb into the tomb
Making sure you feel at home

And buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes

And buildings for the people
And paintings for the blind
Capable of giving life
Or taking out your eyes

History will make us or history will break us
All time is the same ......
......
...... eh? suggestions please
Get ready to say goodbye
Get ready to say goodbye


8.Comfort Comes

Need someone to nurse me
Reach out for the first person i see
Comforts the helpless sole vanity
Caressing the broken heart of me

The difference between love and comfort
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brutal and mocking but always there
A crutch for emnity's saddest glare

I wish that someone would hold me
Wrap their arms around a shrinking somebody
Comfort comes and ease me till the morning
Whispered words of sanctuary

The difference between love and comfort
Is that comfort's more reliable and true
Brutal and mocking but always there
A crutch for emnity's saddest glare

Forgetting how i hate self-pity blonde
Comfort comes and smooths her over
Calloused hands turn a beautiful dress
Handcuffs now her pearl bracelets


9.Close My Eyes

I close my eyes and then i count to ten
Shake some hands and then i feel ashamed
I'm in control but i am out of time
I've lost the need for any desire
Any desire

I had a vision but it slipped away
Inherited goodness, it is here to stay
It's not about us anymore
It's not about us, 'bout us anymore

I close my eyes and then i count to ten
I open them and then i shut them again
Look at the crowd and then forget my parts
Back to memory and then back to the start
Back to the start

I'm back to the stuff that made us all
Back to reality back to fuck all
It's not about us anymore
It's not about us, 'bout us anymore

Close my eyes and then i count to ten
Sign some papers and then they are my friends
Attempt to make up and my skin aches
Not even massage can make my body straight
My body straight

Count to ten and then pretend i'm home
Just a job i get well-paid for
It's not about us anymore
It's not about us, 'bout us anymore

I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes
I close my eyes


10.Dead Passive

She's so passive but she's looking good
He's so passive but he's looking good
They are together but really they're apart
They are together but do not belong, but do not belong

Yes ladies and gentlemen
Let's fall asleep to a plastic lullaby
The ballad of kate and johnny
The ballad of adam and naomi
The ballad of michael and helena
The ballad is forever changing

She's so passive but happy in her way
He's so passive but happy in his way
They do not think just sit and they pretend
They sit around and pray for it to end, pray for it to end

Yes ladies and gentlemen
Let's fall asleep to a plastic lullaby
The ballad of kate and johnny
The ballad of adam and naomi
The ballad of hugh and elizabeth
The ballad is forever changing

I'm so passive hopeless fucking mess

We're so passive do our bit for charity
From bosnia to london we do it all for free, we do it all for
free


11.Dead Trees And Traffic Islands

Paralysis through analysis
Yellow moral unclean decay
Silence begins to help me now
The sunshine it fades away
Symbols have now disappeared
How could this happen to me?
How could this happen to me?

But now i feel so weak
Dead trees and traffic islands never meet
Is this, is this my defeat?
This purgatory for beginners
Dead trees and traffic islands

Tolerance slips away
Body shrugs and says hello once more
Paint the walls within my mind
Clandestine brain finished period
Lips turn grey inside turns out
I show little defence
I show little defence

But now i feel so weak
Dead trees and traffic islands never meet
Is this, is this my defeat?
This purgatory for beginners
Dead trees and traffic islands


12.Dead Yankee Drawl

Bill and ted and wayne's world drawl
Just another dull fucking bore
Vietnam's cool now even superman's believed
Hussein still in power as the media war retreats

Suck your honey until you choke
You are a mechanism of social control
Multi-national aim of one world culture
Turning one dollar into another and another

Dead yankee drawl hey we got your beat
Dead yankee drawl hey we love oscar
Smothering injustice seen through starving eyes
Tearing down forests just to earn a buck

Killed off literature for sex and violence
Fed a generation the equivalent of silence
Dragged jack down to self same bigotry
Passive acceptance of a consumer society

Fake sentiments tying up contracts
Making idols of guitars and haircuts
Multi-national aim of one world culture
Turning one dollar into another and another

Dead yankee drawl hey we got your beat
Dead yankee drawl hey we love oscar
Smothering injustice seen through red indian eyes
Silent race war of sweet hollywood lies

Let's go down to greenwich village and desecrate
The noraid slogans that justify 6 countries hate

Let's go down redondo beach and wax body company
Cos reality for t.v. is disney, not king, rodney

Let's go down to indiana youth centre quickly
Tyson's money ain't as free as junior kennedy's

Dead yankee dead yankee dead yankee drawl


13.Democracy Coma

Sovereign fingers scrape our lives until we are bought
Screaming comatose with blackboard chalk
Siphoned minds suck a wallet full of love
Spitting out a language i don't wanna talk

Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

To me the coronation's another auto-da-fe
Taught in schools to see her as a glorious being
I don't see happy homes but the belfast wall
In walkman sounds hear sony control

Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

Parliament mother of united nations
Mother of history's dead sun, dead suns
Dna of restriction and law
Death, famine, spectacle and war

Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream

Mother of the free she said that we'd breathe
Mother of the free but we just scream


14.Donkeys

Put some lipstick on
At least your lies will be pretty
A shadow on my face
And us donkeys wake up weary

Sweating and sickly
Donkeys don't allow their tears
No emotion never feel
And drown themselves in whatever

Find some meaning
Donkeys weight cracking a spire

Sweetness bent double
Whole days making polite
Never moving out of turn
Or ever trying to be natural

Those with silence inside
Eyes bare piss holes in the snow
Drained and burnt yellow
And sunk in self-pity

Jerusalem saw off
Donkeys are only left with lies
Are only left with lies


15.First Republic

You are so alone in kensington palace
We should be content in these damp terraces
Thank you for this view from our council estates
I hope you have really guillotined your own head

I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins

You once gave us war, racism and slavery
Cut out all our tongues and fucked our industry
Now you've revealed something, you're human after all this
But let's clap our hands and fuck our dear princess

I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins

I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins

I crown myself, myself a king
And declare a first republic
We want to play, yes we want to play
In burnt out palace ruins


16.Hanging On

Hold me down
I don't ever want to see the day
When my time will come
Is it ever going to end

I'm not here
Wish that last of the year
Where do we go now
Another blackout

Hanging onto nothing
Hanging onto nothing
Hanging onto nothing
Hanging onto nothing

I'm not real
But i'd like to have a chance to feel
Before we reach the time
Decide what now is right

I'm not here
Wish the last of the year
Where do we go now
Another blackout

Hanging onto nothing
Hanging onto nothing, etc.

And nothing is nothing is nothing


17.Hibernation

I got married cos you should
We both knew we should
You do at our age

This stage of our career
Things get tight
A ring helps get a mortgage

To move out of daddy's home
Get a bigger car
Easy access to the city

I can read the papers in peace
And laugh at the homeless
I know my friends criticize

But we get by ok
So what if there's no emotion
We can wake up anywhere

There's never a row
No time for a kiss
When you've got schedules to meet
Trivialities seem so cheap

This is above love
This is more than real
This is all there is
This is as good as it gets-
Intense morality parades


18.Last Exit On Yesterday

Dance to the valentine, anthems that kill
Valium veins and eyes that sink
Lying down i want, want a brainwash trip
Don't wanna wake next to your stretched skin

You're screaming so much that i feel sorry to breathe
I wanna feel cold and i wanna bleed your disease

Hold your head up and pray for the sun
But rain just keeps pouring on and on
Loveless, aloneless, life that just impails
As backs break thorns dig deeper in

Baby can't have her little bit of love
Cos it's wrapped up inside her lover's gut
Lazy fat executive seller
Sway to the sound of another dead lover

So dull and tired, of his pretty face
Makes the truth seem easy but you've lost
Laugh at the t.v. empty cell of life
Mundane exile it's not of your choice


19.Love Torn Us Under

Heaven's weariness, you're climbing the walls
Asleep i daydreamed i could change it all
Running from something too painful to face
Epitaphs torn into bare foot soiled feet

Ecstasy's columns decay into night
Underneath hope she loves only to die?
Wasting my time on the shackles of her love

At night complete love's torn us under
Love is dragging me under
Betray my other self
The lost hours are over

Gentleness left me, a cataract's past life
Searching for something i'm unable to find
To weak to render a sorrow's daily grind
I find too much grief in her chastened eyes

Memory cannot choose where it wants to be
Love this sex through pity as mangled sheets
The tenderness that climbs in the mind

At night complete love's torn us under
Love is dragging me under
Betray my other self
The lost hours are over


20.The Masses Against The Classes

Hello it's us again
We're still so in love with you
And yes we mean it too
Yes we're so in love with you

Hello it's us again
You thought you were our friends
Success is an ugly word
Especially in your tiny world

The masses against the classes
I'm tired of giving a reason
When the future is what we believe in
We love the winter, it brings us closer together

So can you hurt us any more
Can you feel like it was before
Or are you lost for evermore
Messed up and dead on alcohol

Hello fond farewell my dear
I hope you hear this nice and clear
Our love is unconditional
Our hate is yours to feed upon

The masses against the classes
I'm tired of giving a reason
When we're the only thing left to believe in
We love the winter, it brings us closer together

The masses against the classes
I'm tired of giving a reason
When the future is what we believe in
We love the winter, it brings us closer together

A slave begins by demanding justice, and ends by wanting to wear
a crown...


21.Montana/autumn/78

Luddite lover
Forgiving father
Unhappy forever
Live it to where you can
Those skies must drive you wild
The earth around you
This silence around you
Be with the sky tonight

You've ruined more than you'll gain
Know what you mean - but not what you do
Nature will take care of itself
Your ego will destroy itself
Montana/autumn/78

Your life into the future
Maybe forty years
A life worth saving or lonesome ever more
The nothingness of truth
Or everlasting youth
Ideology or the ultimate thrill

You've ruined more than you'll gain
Know what you mean - but not what you do
Nature will take care of itself
Your ego will destroy itself
Montana/autumn/78


22.Motown Junk

Never ever wanted to be with you
All you ever gave me was the boredom i suffocate in
Adrift in cheap dreams don't stop the rain
Numbed out in piss towns just wanna dig their graves

Motown, motown junk
I laughed when lennon got shot
21 years of living and nothing means anything to me

Motown junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown junk, motown junk, motown junk, motown junk

I don't want cos i just get
All your slut heroes offer is a fear of the future
Past made useless cos i'm dying now
Communal tyranny a jail that bleeds our wrists

Motown, motown junk
I laughed when lennon got shot
21 years of living and nothing means anything to me

Motown junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown junk, motown junk, motown junk, motown junk

Motown junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown junk, motown junk, motown junk, motown junk

We live in urban hell, we destroy rock and roll


23.Mr. Carbohydrate

They call me mr. carbohydrate
It's the only thing i can digest
Xenophobia or general disinterest
I must catch up with all this stuff

They call me a boring fuckhead
They say i might as well work in a bank
I tell them i wish i was, they tell me that i'm sick in the head
They say that i'm sick in the head

They call me mr. carbohydrate
They call me mr. inadequate
They call me mr. paranoia
They call me mr. hypochondria

Have you heard of matthew maynard
He's my favourite cricketer
I would rather watch him play than pick up my guitar
Than play with my guitar

People tell me i should get out more
But the tv is my best friend
Cynicism is the only thing that keeps me sane
The only thing that keeps me sane

They call me mr. carbohydrate
They call me mr. inadequate
They call me mr. paranoia
They call me mr. hypochondria

Sometimes i just stay in bed
And think about the day
When i can retire, forgetting everything
I'll forget everything
Forget everything
Forever but not today
When i cannot, cannot say
No more yesterdays
No more yesterdays


24.Never Want Again

I'm feeling sick with alcohol
I'm feeling numb with stupid pain
I smelt death all around our name
I feel the snakes crawling upon my skin

Everywhere, everywhere is on its knees
I'm too scared and i'm too afraid ... too afraid

We'll go down, we'll go down together
And meet a few of you in hell
Burn on by our side, burn on by our side and never want again

I get told i should be happy
I got no rights on how i feel
I lost my language easily
I saw the rain bleaching my way

My gut gets sick of all its lies
Thrown all hope way outside, way outside

We'll go down, we'll go down together
And meet a few of you in hell
Burn on by our side, burn on by our side and never want again

We'll go down, we'll go down together
And meet a few of you in hell
Burn on by our side, burn on by our side and never want again


25.New Art Riot

Vintage aromas and vintage ideals
Old men greying to a dying country's needs
Waiting for a knighthood to while away the hours
Listen and learn now it's time to kill your betters

Museums are dead take a new art stance
Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat

Hospital closure kills more than car bombs ever will
But it saves money because people are expendable
You cold shoulder insurgents yet love arms dealers
Everybody's taking drugs as it makes governing easier

Museums are dead take a new art stance
Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat
Sell out the past and learn to obey
You spit out and douse a molotov cocktail

Revolution soon dies sold out for a pay rise
China, russia, england, all washed up in power abuse
Terrorism is an excuse that the ruling class use
Wipe out aristocracy now kill, kill, kill, kill, kill

England makes judgements of old school propaganda
The only threat to heads is silenced by dumb pleasure
Museums are dead take a new art stance
Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat


26.No One Knows What It's Like To Be Me

To all the people who've hurt me
To all the life that has left me
To all the longing that lost me
To all the future that scares me

To all the words that have drained me
To all the questions that bored me
To all the people that believed me
To all the money that blinded me

No one knows what it's like to be me
No one knows what it's like to be me

To all the skies that have reached for me
To all the oceans that drowned me
To all the rain that has soothed me
To all the sun that depressed me

To all the people that lived in fear
To all the life that is held so dear
To all the empty souls who still despair
I know it's the same for everyone

No one knows what it's like to be me
No one knows what it's like to be me
Doctor and dentist, housewife and thief
No one knows what it's like to be me

No one knows what it's like to be me
No one knows what it's like to be me
Doctor and dentist, housewife and thief
No one knows what it's like to be me


27.Patrick Bateman

He's a real cool guy and he's a hero of mine
Travis, rhinehart rolled into one cute son
Less than zero a grotesque nightmare
Subtly disturbing like normal behaviour

I understand nothing and i cannot speak
I'd walk in the park but the trees are diseased
No sweetheart and i am too confused
I only love my watch and my snake skin shoes

I feel so small in the supermarket queue
People seem to laugh at my choice of food
My personality is held together with sellotape
A loose fit just like a numb junkies hate

I pretty my face with all this cream and stuff
Ugliness inside much harder to cover up
I lack the thought to care about politics
Just do what i like ain't that democratic

Genesis, huey lewis, filofax, cd5
A backdrop to discuss over expensive wine
Didn't even know when or why i should stop
I feel so stupid like a joke that belongs

I guess all psychos are made out of money
I cannot be saved as liberals keep telling me
I don't wanna be understood i just wanna kill
Out of blandness i am your everyday thrill

Patrick bateman
We are babies crippled in christ
Patrick bateman
Therefore i must be god
I must, i must be god

I touched your lips but now i just paint
Surface reflection all i desired babe
I am melancholy, flower cutting through stone
I am a crime everybody has at home

Papers hate me but they need my behaviour
The dignity amongst hollywood trivia
Escape is so cheap of alcohol and whores
Mines the sanity of exclusive gun laws

Art critics say porno's easily obscene
Late show retards dice clay is true poetry
They've never tried living underneath the water
That's real end of the century nausea

Patrick bateman
We are babies crippled in christ
Patrick bateman
Therefore i must be god
I must, i must be god

Patrick bateman
We are babies crippled in christ
Patrick bateman
I fucked god up the ass
I fucked god up the ass

Patrick bateman
Patrick bateman
Patrick bateman
Patrick bateman


28.Prologue To History

Were we the kinnock factor
Am i talking private sector
Do i think i'm shaun william ryder
Or my former friend who's now undercover
He's gone, i'm no deserter
Perhaps i'm hard, all the same

Today a poet who can't play guitar
Tomorrow steve ovett has injured his calf
Next year the world's greatest politician
Yesterday the boy who once had a mission
I don't wanna be a prologue to history
A prologue to histo...

So i water my plants with evian
A brand new dyson, that is decadent
Read the papers and the business section
Check out the tessas and the pensions
Call my friends, they're alright
So i pray for the safety of the night

Today a poet who can't play guitar
Tomorrow steve ovett has injured his calf
Next year the world's greatest politician
Yesterday the boy who once had a mission
I don't wanna be a prologue to history
A prologue to histo...

Remember ethnic cleansing in the highlands
No one says a thing in the middle of england
I'm bruised fruit but still taste so nice
So if you look at me, you'd better look twice
I'm talking rubbish to cover up the cracks
An empty vessel who can't make contact

Today a poet who can't play guitar
Tomorrow phil bennett's playing outside half
Next year the world's greatest politician
Yesterday the boy who once had a mission
I don't wanna be a prologue to history
A prologue to history


29.Rp Mcmurphy

Straight jacket your own beauty
Because it's just a breakdown away
From the gutter to the jewel
A symbol sold in investment days
Defenceless as the pages you burn
A baby drowning under a profit curve
Money bruises the skin at birth

I just wanna lie down in my bed
Make myself different from the rest
Use a thought to put myself to sleep
Collapsing in the fields where it feels free
Where it feels free
R.p. mcmurphy

Na na ... no more pills and no more drugs

This country pisses debris
Like ugly people made pretty
Underneath cheap make-up
Deformed, disguised mind decay
Buy, consume, get more credit
Learn to serve a life sentence here
Style yourself in sterility

I just wanna lie down in my bed
Make myself different from the rest
Use a thought to put myself to sleep
Collapsing in the fields where it feels free
Where it feels free
R.p. mcmurphy

Na na ... no more pills and no more drugs


30.Sculpture Of Man

War censored, no blood on tv
Cheap entertainment sold like a new deodorant
World war three, a sega dreamland
I'd take a whore to the funeral

Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man

Jesus descends, dachau his father
Flanders is a corpse under flowers
There's more art in burger king
Than the british museum today

Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man

Wills and harry, dressed in drag
Standing over the sodomised body of their mother
Would make a beautiful poster in athena

Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man
Sculpture of man


31.Sepia

A framed adolescence steeped in the history of you
Stopping the summer once for you
Experience is lost on me i am melancholia eternally
But i still smile so stupidly
For the first time ever i don't understand my television

Just like a moment in butch cassidy and the sundance kid
I'm perpetually stuck in sepia film
I'm bleeding inside i manage to keep it all in
Keep it all in

I've spoken so much rubbish done in no time at all
Feelings are so fatal in the fall
No you never kissed me never felt anything for me
Sepia the stain that i remember
And these unwritten diaries that can never breathe, never
breathe

Just like a moment in butch cassidy and the sundance kid
I'm perpetually stuck in sepia film
I'm bleeding inside i manage to keep it all in
Keep it all in

Just like a moment in butch cassidy and the sundance kid
I'm perpetually stuck in sepia film
I'm bleeding inside i manage to keep it all in
Keep it all in


32.Socalist Serenade

What's the point in an education
When you have to pay for the privilege?
This side of the truth where no sun shines
They don't count the cripples and the blind

I was thinking everybody had a chance
Like a dream stretched way too far
All this time such a debt to the city
I don't know who's the real enemy

This is a socialist serenade
Yes i have money but i hate champagne
This is a socialist serenade
I can't see the past anywhere

Some greater benefit for the people
Ha ha ha ha we all believed in you
Is it about the politics of celebrity
Or endless days in the sun of tuscany

This is a socialist serenade
Yes i have money but i hate champagne
This is a socialist serenade
I can't see the past anywhere, anywhere

This is a socialist serenade
Yes i have money but i hate champagne
This is a socialist serenade
I can't see the past anywhere, anywhere

Change your name to new
Forget the fucking labour


33.Sorrow 16

Cut your hair in front of business men
Kill yourself and censor health
Destroy words and ignore their truth
Wanna die and have never worked

I feel like falling, i feel like falling
I feel like falling, i feel like falling
I feel like falling, i feel like falling

I can't feel, no need to care
Narcotic of ambition poisoned my air
Wearing hate like you wear money
Sucking down vodka, spitting our perrier

I feel like falling, i feel like falling
I feel like falling, i feel like falling
I feel like falling, i feel like falling

Oh the road is beautiful
You live stoned on obedience
Your vanity kills people
Paint your ego in blood
Oh the road is beautiful

The wall is a reason for you to believe
There's too many numbers for us to sleep
The wall is a reason for you to believe
Because there are too many numbers, numbers, numbers

Oh the road is beautiful
You live stoned on obedience
Your vanity kills people
Paint your ego in blood
Oh the road is beautiful
Beautiful
Beautiful


34.Soul Contamination

Everyone is staring with the glaze of obsession
Interlocking cartels bypassing the bone
The empty statement of artschool dissension
Institutionalised expression of mass control

And if when america flings in whole
Your pile of misery where centuries be
And he does win a holiday after a poll
One per cent interest stand up with glee

Soul contamination spreads the germs of finance
Making weak minds think this is what they want
Power facts are brutally sold to worn darkened skin
Arise the new scum arise to the sound of a drum

With your desk degrees in civil engineering
They're drawing up plans for a future for themselves
And sweet daddy buys up a university
On a mission tied next to suits

Soul contamination - die because you crossed by fire
Soul contamination - poverty expressed in your heart
Soul contamination - arise, surrender, burn
Soul contamination - do you rise up


35.Starlover

Paint your lips, things fall apart
Flowers of hate caress my skin now
Spend my time sucked up inside
Mutilation kick off all you believe in

Starlover you're just a souvenir
Starlover you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so
Feel like faces without kisses

Sterile wants spin in my head
Don't need culture, i spit it out
Twist and fall, wounds don't choke
I piss on records, wanna see you dead

Starlover you're just a souvenir
Starlover you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so

A body voice born under torture
Leper cult disciples of a still born christ
I worship stone so lance my eyes

Miles apart from anyone
Soma air waves of killing oxygen
We queue consuming anything
Hate all songs, aesthetic slavery now

Starlover you're just a souvenir
Starlover you're just another prayer
Starlover oh you touch me so
Feels like faces without kisses
Starlover
Starlover
Starlover
Starlover


36.Strip It Down

Ain't no fun at the government hall
Slicked back injustice sits nicely next to smiles
Paranoia at the heels of too much greed
Obedience an art form while the sad bleed

Success and love dictate while skin touches fashion
Consumerism beauty for cheap appeal
I don't wanna dance for people to watch
Smother my life in interest accounts

Outside life brings down genocide
And consumer self-hate leads to designer bullshit
Hate is art and we steal cars
Decaying flowers in the playground of the rich

You can launch sweetly and say nice things
But i ain't ever on the way up
My only way is down on disease that tries to suffocate
The pure ideals that turn to hate


37.Suicide Alley

I'm going down to suicide alley
'cos the air i breathe
Tastes better down there

I'm going down to suicide alley
'cos the scenes are dead
And it's the only place for me

And i'm going down to suicide alley
Where you can't get at me
And i'm going down to suicide alley
Where i can be what i want to be

I'm going down to suicide alley
'cos the air i breathe
Tastes better down there

I'm going down to suicide alley
'cos the scenes are dead
And it's the only place for me

And i'm going down to suicide alley
Where you can't get at me
And i'm going down to suicide alley
Where i can be what i want to be

You wanna leave the world behind
With your eyes make a different scene
Up in suicide alley
You can be what i want to be

You wanna clean away my mind
With your eyes make a different scene
Up in suicide alley
You can be what i want to be


38.Teenage 20/20

I wanna wake to a shot parade of wealth
And take a spray can to my useless vote
I don't like your city dresden dance
I'm drowning in a manufactured ego-fuck

We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving

Speeding so lonely into wall after wall
Teenage 20/20 beat the in-call
Sick to the stomach of our fingertip scrawl
All your rebellion corporation owned

We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving
We're dead end dolls and nothing's moving


39.Too Cold Here

Born in burial gowns, recessing slowly
You soon wish you couldn't see at all
Tortured in the mind, six voices alone
Futile gestures, emotionless groans
Everyone asks what's wrong, but what's right?
And a cute lie makes everything uptight
To kill your dream before it's considered
To live in silence, airless closet, no vision

It's easier to make love to a stranger than to ask a friend to
call
Suspicion knows nothing and is known for not much at all, much
at all

Too cold here
Turn yourself bleeding inside
Always look for walls to lean beside
Too cold here
Turn yourself bleed it's eyes
Always look for shade to cover your eyes

Self pity yourself is so shallow
I am so sick in mind and body, heart cold as stone
Whisky my coral, my piece of mind
Hello mr. samsung you can't clean my soul
Wake up sighing, mass for the bleeding
Never share sadness mine no man prays painless
Coalescing mine are hidden rooms,
Cannot give anything and never could

Prison it's only four walls but sometimes
The mind is the smallest prison of all,
Offering there upon offering
As a ball with a touch feels
Through its fall, through its fall.

Too cold here
Turn yourself bleeding inside
Always look for walls
To lean beside
Too cold here
Turn yourself bleed it's eyes
Always look for shade
To cover your eyes


40.Us Against You

From journalist to video to channel 4 tv
My life is fulfilled so adequately
I love my dealer and i travel the world
From freelance to new dance
And i expect on the world i am
From cantonese food to fashionable friends
The list of invites never seems to end
So bomb london and it's mps
John major virginia bottomley
So bomb london and its legislature
Acidic wit, beauty and charm
It doesn't take much to twist my arm
Free trip free drink it all goes down so so well
Maybe a sunday supplement will come up soon
A documentary on censorship sounds real cool
Its easy to see that i went to public school
So bomb london and its mps
John major virginia bottomley
Bomb london and its legislature
So bomb london and its mps
John major virginia bottomley
Bomb london and its legislature
So bomb london and its magazine
Time-out face and id.
Bomb london its music and its culture
You ain't ever been a racist
But tyson was guilty, man
He was guilty


41.Valley Boy

Here i am in amsterdam
I like it here they speak my language
Even though it's not my own
It's got bbc for comfort zone
And best of all, it's got marks & spencers
Equality for the masses never felt better

Some of my dreams, they may have come true
But so have my nightmares which i can't get through

And now i've lost the power to speak
And now i've lost the power to eat
Idle and out of touch in europe
Nothing's gone and nothing's changed
All that was before will still remain
It's too late to learn a new currency

Some of my dreams, they may have come true
But so have my nightmares which i can't get through


42.We Her Majesty's Prisoners

Jewels drip red and i don't sound proud
Treason is ambition i want dead procession
All we got unholy left-overs of a compromise
Leaving us like butterflies trapped in frost

(bow down)

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you

England's glory lives on in world wide genocide
So celebrate buchenwald as her majesty's heir
Now an obsolete face on a currency of illusion
No matter what we own we can't buy freedom

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you

Throw myself against you cos you ain't frail
Underneath silk riches sixty six million giving slaves
This needle of religions gonna rust my skin
Tear out and exit obeyance of created sin

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you baby

Faces pressed at gates of anniversary torture
Without these fake images we'd never bow down
Don't need this history but we still accept
Conscripted into a past that invents our guilt

Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
Ceremony rape machine
Love won't corrode you
