1.A Reminder
If i get old, i will not give in
But if i do, remind me of this.
Remind me that, once i was free,
Once i was cool, once i was me.
And if i sat down, and crossed my arms,
Hold me into, this song.
Knock me out, smash out my brains,
If i take a chair, start to talk shit.....
If i get old, remind me of this:
That night we kissed, and i really meant it.
Whatever happens, if we're still speaking.
Pick up the phone, play me this song.
2.Banana Co.
Oh, banana co.
We really love you and we need you
And oh, banana co.
We'd really love to believe you, but
Everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah
Oh, she said no go
She said she'd like to
She's seen you
But no, no-ho go
She says if you die then we all do
Everything's burning down
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah
And everything's underground
We gotta dig it up somehow
Yeah yeah
3.Bishop's Robes
Dressed in bishop's robes
Terrifies me still
In bishop's robes
Bastard headmaster
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back
Children taught to kill, to tear themselves to bits
On playing fields
Dressed in bishop's robes
I am not going back
I am not going back
I am not going back
4.Coke Babies
Easy living
Easy hold
Easy teething
Easy fold
Easy listening
Easy love
Easy answers
To easy questions
Easy tumble
Easy fall
Easy rumble
Easy doll
I get up on
Easy love
I get up on
Easy questions
5.Faithless, The Wonder Boy
I've had these jeans since i was born
And now they're ripped and now they're torn
And all my friends have skateboards
I want the toys of other boys
I want a knife and a gun and things
But mom and dad will not give in
And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
I can't put the needle in
No i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
And now i know just what it is
It's called disease and it's got my head
It always runs where i hide
Too scared too talk, too scared to try
Too scared to know the reasons why
And all my friends say bye bye
And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
No i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
And i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
No i can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
Can't put the needle in
6.How Can You Be Sure?
Seen all good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so
Battered and
Brought to the ground
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money i owe to my friends
When i'm like this how can you be smiling
Saying
How can you be sure?
How can you be sure?
If you walk out the door
Will i see you again?
If so much of me lies in your eyes
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money i owe to my friends
When i'm like this how can you be smiling
Saying
How can you be sure?
(i don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?
(i don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?
(i don't want you anymore)
How can you be sure?
I don't want you
I don't want you anymore
I don't want you
I don't want you anymore
7.India Rubber
Did it all for you to say
You never wanted me that way
Now the dogs have had their meat
I think i will go plug in the mains
I tumble like a cloud
Before you burn in hell
I suffocate myself into your hair
Will the sparrow make her smile
I'm instantly your biggest fan
How was i to know that you practised it before hand?
I tumble like a cloud
Before you burn in hell
I suffocate myself into your hair
8.Inside My Head
What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my fingers bleed
Now they're staring at me
I'm a coward now
I hold my peace
Now you tie me up to your feather bed
And i twist and turn in a chinese burn
You won't let go
You won't let go
You're inside my head
Inside my head
What do you want from me?
Now you got me
Now my energy you suck from me
And i'm holding on for dear life
Quit smothering me
Quit laughing at me
I've got a disease
An english disease
It won't let go
It won't let go
You're inside my head
Inside my head
What did you put in that syringe?
Whatever you really said to him?
Is sitting there, inside of me
And you bother me
You possess me
You're there again
Ahead of me
And i won't let go
I won't let go
You're inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head
Inside my head
9.Killer Cars
To hard on the brakes again,
What if these brakes just give in?
What if they don't get outta the way?
What if there's someone overtaking?
I'm going out on a little drive, and it could be the last time i
see you alive
There could be an idiot on the road,
The only kick in life is pumping that steel.
Lock me up in the back of the trunk, packed with foam and blind
drunk.
They won't ever catch me alive, cause they all drive..
Don't die on the motorway,
The moon would freeze, the plants would die,
I couldn't cope if you crashed today,
All the things i forgot to say,
I'm going out on the little drive, and it could be the last time
i see you alive,
There could be an idiot on the road, the only kick in life if
pumping that steel,
Lock me up in the back of the trunk, packed with foam and blind
drunk.
They won't ever catch me alive, cause they all drive...
Killer cars.. yeah..
Hey hey, hey hey, hey hey, hey.. hey..
Wrap me up in the back of a trunk, packed with foam and blind
drunk.
They won't ever catch me alive, cause they all drive...
Killer cars...
They all drive... killer cars
They all driiiive....... killer cars
10.Lewis(Mistreated)
Bummed out again
Buy early business friend
The smell of fear is bigger than you think
Hey don't do it
Do it
Change seem to fit
In the end you just feel sick
And then you choke on an anesthetic
Hey don't do it
Lewis
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here
We never noticed
We never understood
He just get crushed to fit
He never even smile
At the best, it's the best,
It's the best day i know

Save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis
Save yourself the pain
It never really matters here
Lewis
Mistreated

11.Lozenge Of Love
I am gone
Everybody's waiting
And these fruit
Just a twist of poison
I won't be alone
When you're running in me
I can't stay
Like i'm somewhere always
I need more
A restless body cracks and rolls
I won't have the strength
When you're running in me
12.Maquiladora
Here it comes, here it comes,
I can feel the hills exploding
Exploding gracefully
Burning up the freeway
Here it comes
Grass is green at the edge of the bubble
Beautiful gets into beautiful trouble
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you.
Oh baby burn
Fast die younger
Burns rubber
Useless rockers
From england
Good times
Had by all
Just swallow your guilt and your crutches
Blue and white birds stop and hide on the pedal
Interstate fire walk staright down the middle,
And it seems to fall out of the sky and come down on you
Oh baby burn
13.Melatonin
Don't forget, that you are our son.
Now go back to bed.
We just know that you'll do well
You won't come to harm.
Death to all who stand in your way,
Wake my dear.
14.Million Dollar Question
Was always waiting for the crush
The car to drive right through the shops
To call in sick and late at work
And take a holiday
Was always tangled up in knots
To keep myself from speaking up
But no one's listening anyway
Just trying to bribe me
And if it's alright
Then what are we doing here?
And if it's alright
This place is gassed by fear
And if it's alright
I'll tell you cos you never understand
And if it's alright i'll beg you
'cause i'm a begging kind of man
Today i wrote a bad cheque
Packed a bag and took a jet
And no one's looking anyway
I hope you miss me
(sometimes i think maybe i'm making a big mistake)
15.Molasses
Shake hands
Genocide
Molasses
Jet-powered caravans
Molasses
I'm too good
You're stuck on
Rent free earthquake zone
Molasses
I need someone else's glasses.
Starving waitresses in plasters,
Fat houseflies
Genocide
We've been stitched up
Molasses
16.Pearly *
How do you get your teeth so pearly?
Dewdrop dentures
White-washed fences
She runs from the third world pearly
Vanilla (feel it crawl to me)
Milkshakes (crawl back again)
From hard rock (whatever you say)
Cafes (it won't go away)
That's where (i feel it crawl to me)
She got her (crawl back again)
Sweet tooth (it won't go away)
For white boys (whatever you say)
She runs from the third world pearly
17.Permanent Daylight
Loose ropes still tied knots
I can't believe that i returned
Loose threads still they sew
It's just i can't believe that we returned
Let's get out
Out
Will you come out with me?
18.Pop Is Dead
Oh no, pop is dead
Long live pop.
It died an ugly death,
By back catalogue.
And know you know it gets you nowhere,
And now you know you realise.
Oh no, pop is dead
It just gave up,
We raise the dead but they won't stand up.
And radio have salmonella,
And now you know you gotta die.
It left this message for us.
So what, pop is dead, it's no great loss
So many face lifts, it's face flew off.
The emperor he has no clothes on,
And his skin is pealing off.
Oh no, pop is dead, long live pop,
One final lot of coke to jack him off...
Jack him off.. he left this message for us.
He left this message for us.
He left this message for us.
19.Punchdrunk Lovesick Singalong
I wrapped you inside my coat
When they came to fire upon the house
I didn't feel pain
Cause no one can touch me
Now that i'm held in your smile
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into doubt
Sell me a car that goes
Sell me a house that stands
Oh
I never cared before
I never cared before
I never cared before
Before
Before
Before
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn your world into doubt
A beautiful girl
A beautiful girl
Can turn you world into doubt
Yeah
I stood in front of her face
When the first bullet
Was shot
20.Stupid Car
I find it hard
To drive your stupid car
I find it hard
Cause i never get that far
And you put my brain in overload
And i can't change gears
I cannot see the road
You got concrete eyes
And i cannot see your face
And i failed in life
Cause you crushed me with your hands
And you put my brain in overload
I can't change gears
I cannot see the road
21.Talk Show Host
I want to
I want to be someone else or i'll explode
Floating upon this surface for the birds
The birds
The birds
You want me?
Fucking well come and find me
I'll be waiting
With a gun and a pack of sandwiches
And nothing
Nothing
Nothing
Nothing
You want me?
Well come and break the door down
You want me?
Fucking come and break the door down
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
I'm ready
22.The Trickster
Rust in the mountains
Rust in the brain
The air is sacred here
In spite of your claim
Up on the roof tops
Out of reach
Trickster is meaningless
Trickster is weak
He's talking out the world
Talking out the world hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway
Hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway
I wanted you so bad
And i couldn't say
All things fall apart
We wanted out so bad
We couldn't say
These things fall apart
We're talking out the world
Talking out the world
Hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway
Hey
Hey
Hey
This is only halfway
Truant kids- a can of brick dust worms
Who do not want to climb down from
Their chestnut tree
Long white gloves
Police tread carefully
Escaped from the zoo
The perfect child facsimile
It's talking out the world
Talking out the world
23.Yes I Am
I resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that i
Don't have a choice
Anywhere i go
You are always there
Outside the car
Or in my hair
I think i've been here before
Yes i've been here before
The last time you locked
All the doors
And i resent you calling
I resent your voice
I resent that i
Don't have a choice
And yes i am
Yes i am
I think i've told you once
I think i needed advice
You were such a help
That's very nice
I think i've been here before
Yes i've been here before
But this time i kick
Down your door
Yes i am
Yes i am
24.You Never Wash Up After Yourself
I must get out once in a while
Everything is starting to die
The dust settles, the worms dig
Spiders crawl over the bed
I must get out once in a while
I eat all day and now i'm fat
Yesterday's meal is hugging the plate
You never wash up after yourself
