1.Planet Telex
You can force it but it will not come
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home saying
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it, you can break all the rules
But still
Everything is broken
Everyone is broken
Everyone is, everyone is broken
Everyone is, everything is broken
Why can't you forget？
Why can't you forget？
Why can't you forget？
2.The Bends
Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now, when I need you
Alone on an aeroplane
Fall asleep on against the window pane
My blood will thicken
I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
Cos I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
But who are my real friends
Have they all got the bends
Am I really sinking this low
My baby's got the bends, oh no
We don't have any real friends, no, no, no
Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
Where do we go from here
The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear
And where are you
They brought in the CIA, the tanks and the whole marines,
To blow me away, to blow me sky high
My baby's got the bends
We don't have any real friends
Just lying in the bar with my drip feed on
Talking to my girlfriend, waiting for something to happen
I wish it was the sixties, I wish I could be happy
I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be part of the human race
I wanna live, breathe
I wanna be part of the human race, race, race, race
Where do we go from here
The words are coming out all weird
Where are you now when I need you
3.High And Dry
Two jumps in a week,
I bet you think that's pretty clever don't you boy？
Flying on your motorcycle,
watching all the ground beneath you drop
You'd kill yourself for recognition,
kill yourself to never, ever stop
You broke another mirror,
you're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation,
you'll be the one who cannot talk
All your insides fall to pieces,
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
They're the ones who'll hate you
when you think you've got the world all sussed out
They're the ones who'll spit on you,
you'll be the one screaming out
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Oh, it's the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing that you ever, ever had.
It's the best thing that you ever had,
the best thing you have had has gone away.
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high,
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
4.Fake Plastic Trees
A green plastic watering can
For a fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time
5.Bones
I don't want to be crippled and cracked
Shoulders, wrists, knees and back
Ground to dust and ash
Crawling on all fours
When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got to feel it in your bones
Now I can't climb the stairs
Pieces missing everywhere
Prozac painkillers
When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got to feel it in your bones
And I used to fly like Peter Pan
All the children flew when I touched their hands
When you've got to feel it in your bones
When you've got to feel it in your bones
6.Nice Dream
They love me like I was a brother
They protect me, listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream
I call up my friend, the good angel
But she's out with her answerphone
She says she would love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream
If you think that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough
If you think that you're strong enough
If you think you belong enough
Nice dream, nice dream
Nice dream, nice dream
7.Just(You Do It To Yourself)
Can't get the stink off
He's been hanging round for days
Comes like a comet
Suckered you but not your friends
One day he'll get to you
And teach you how to be a holy cow
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
Don't get my sympathy
Hanging out the 15th floor
You've changed the locks three times
He still comes reeling through the door
One day I'll get you
And teach you how to get to purest hell
You do it to yourself, you do
And that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you, you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself, you do
and that's what really hurts
Is that you do it to yourself
Just you, you and no-one else
You do it to yourself
You do it to yourself, yourself, yourself.
8.My Iron Lung
Faith, you're driving me away
You do it everyday
You don't mean it
But it hurts like hell
My brain says I'm recieving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung
We're too young to fall asleep
To cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can't you tell？
We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

9.Bullet Proof ... I Wish I Was
Limb by limb, tooth by tooth
Tearing up inside of me
Every day, every hour
I wish that I was bullet proof
Wax me, mould me
Heat the pins and stab them in
You have turned me into this
Just wish that it was bullet proof,
was bullet proof
So pay the money and take a shot
Lead-fill the hole in me
I could burst a million bubbles
All surrogate and bullet proof
And bullet proof
And bullet proof
And bullet proof
Limb by limb, tooth by tooth 以怨報怨 以牙還牙
Tearing up inside of me 徹底瓦解我
Every day, every hour, 每一天 每小時
just wish that I was bulletproof 多希望我防彈...
Wax me, mould me, 臘雕我 塑模我
Heat the pins and stab them in, 欺負弱小
You have turned me into this, 你讓我變成這樣
Just wish that it was bulletproof, 好希望我防彈...
was bulletproof 我防彈...
So pay me the money and take a shot, 你雇我 卻讓我挨一槍
Lead fill the hole in me, 讓我掉入這個黑洞
I could burst a million bubbles,all surrogate... 我會刺破這百萬個泡 所有障礙
And bulletproof 並且無堅不摧
And bulletproof 並且無堅不摧
And bulletproof 並且無堅不摧
10.Black Star
I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing
gown
Well what am I to do？
I know all the things around your head and what they do to you.
What are we coming to？
What are we gonna do？
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home.
The troubled words of a troubled mind I try to understand what
is eating you.
I try to stay awake but its 58hours since that I last slept with
you.
What are we coming to？
I just don't know anymore.
I get on the train and I just stand about now that I don't think
of you.
I keep falling over I keep passing out when I see a face like
you.
what am I coming to？
I'm gonna melt down.
11.Sulk
You bite through the big wall, the big wall bites back
You just sit there and sulk, sit there and bawl
You are so pretty when you're on your knees
Disinfected, eager to please
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes and we've already gone
Just like your dad, you'll never change
Each time it comes it eats me alive
I try to behave but it eats me alive
So I declare a holiday
Fall asleep, Drift away
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes and we've already gone
Just like your dad, you'll never change
Sometimes you sulk, sometimes you burn
God rest your soul
When the loving comes and we've already gone
Just like your dad, You'll never change
12.Street Spirit(Fade Out)
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
Hold these things into position
All these things will want this world
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will, will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes
Hold these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.
Rows of houses all bearing down on me成群的房樓壓倒了我
I can feel their blue hands touching me我可以感覺到它們憂傷的手正觸摸著我
Hold these things into position止住這些事吧
All these things will want this world所有這些事會吞噬掉整個世界
And fade out again and fade out退去吧這些事 退去吧這些事
This machine will, will not communicate這些科技會....並不會連結整個世界
These thoughts and the strain I am under我們承受著這些事與這些苦難
Be a world child form a circle身為這一次輪迴的一個大地的小孩
Before we all go under在我們都還沒深陷之前
And fade out again and fade out again退去吧這些事 退去吧這些事
Cracked eggs, dead birds那些不完卵 那些死去的鳥
Scream as they fight for life尖聲著就像對抗生命的征戰一樣
I can feel death, can see it's beady eyes我感覺到死亡了 我看到它正虎視眈眈的瞅視著我們
Hold these things into position止住這些事吧
All these things we'll one day swallow whole否則這些事有一天真的會吞噬我們
And fade out again and fade out again退去吧這些事 退去吧這些事
Immerse your soul in love 願你聖靈滿愛
Immerse your soul in love 願你聖靈滿愛
