1.August
Watch her stumble as she falls away
Tried to search for something to say
Lost for words, but I kept in touch
Never thought I would bleed so much.
Knew that changes were in the air
Tried to show I was able to care
But the final showing's been shown
Hard to face when I'm on my own.
Watch her stumble as she falls from grace
Go through life pretending I am OK
I caught a glimpse of the twilight zone
At least you see it when you're on your own
2.Meeting Up
Know the movers and shakers when I'm out in the town
I know those on their way up I know those going down
I know the coke-snorting mayors- corruption makes me sick
I know the porn purveyors their minds controlled by their dicks
I know that there's no repeat
It's here I hear the techno beats
I have no murderous urges! I have no problem with drugs
But when your status is transient, all you're after is hugs
So let's meet up in the city, control them all with our minds
Since our social achievements are mocked by all that we find
3.Sleepflower
I wanna sleep, sleepflower I wanna sleep under a tree
I wanna sleep, sleepflower, I want the sun to shine on me
They say 'It's good for you to be out once in a while
When you're outside everyone sees your smile'
I'm from round here, this is where I should be
Sleepflower with me
I wanna sleep, sleepflower, I wanna return to the trees
I wanna sleep, sleepflower, I don't wanna stay in the city
I wanna sleep, sleepflower, I wanna stay where it's good for me
And when I die, sleepflower, will you die, sleepflower with me？
I wanna sleep, sleepflower, when the sun shines down on me
I wanna sleep, sleepflower, I wanna sleep beneath the trees.
4.Paranoia Feedback
I say nothing when I say it loud but I'm happy when I'm under
your cloud
Sometimes it's better when I'm on my own, sometimes it's better
that I don't go home
I try forgetting and I try to be pure but it just makes me want
you more
I try to say 'What's wrong with myself'？ coz gnawing paranoia is
bad for your health
I get the paranoia feedback when I'm with you
I could be happy for an hour or two
But I got stuck here it's why I stayed
I cannot help the way I was made
I tell you things that my friends don't know, I show emotions
thought I'd never show
I love your heart and I love your hair- I'd love you more if you
were ever there
When we're together you make me fizz! Our love's ephermal but
then everything is
My only fear is becoming mundane： it warps my mind it would make
me insane
You warp my mind you warp my mind
You want my mind you warp my mind
My emotions are never contrived, I would be happy if you
recognised
I know everything you tell me is true- I just get miserable coz
I love you
I have explained what gets me vexed! It seems forever till I see
you next!
There's optimism at the end of the verse- I have a friend who is
even worse
5.Amoral Utopia
Well they say we're depressed hungover and stressed
And all that we do is sanctioned by you
And the meaning of life
Is to breed and survive
And so we should strive for this
If I walk down the street and girls fall at my feet
I give them a smile in case they're fertile
And I have no more need
In automical greed
Well they're starting to bleed- who cares
And I could feel shame if it wasn't so lame
Our society's built on an absence of guilt
And the newspaper says
'We blame social malaise'
I just hope someone prays for us
Well they say we're depressed hungover and stressed
And the end's drawing near but I am still here
6.Fragments
I need to learn my own psychology
But it doesn't make it better when she's messing with me
The studs came down and she was drinking their shots
Take a good look at what you've dropped
I'm in the mood for some, mood for some, mood for repetition
But she changes so much that I'm deconditioned
Glancing through life when my thoughts are scattered
Maybe I'd just like to think that I mattered
Nights on her own or with other people
Nights with her own all those lovely people
Look at the town all the empty people
Look at the sea and all the drowning people
I have 80 minutes and they don't pass fast
Time is slow when you're the worst in the class
And it's dark round here and I feel so sound
Why look up when you feel so down？
She says she's joined a band but it's one that I'm in
Pathways are clear for a lifetime of sin
Cohesion is vague and the end unclear
Countdown to breakdown is drawing near
The only ever things that drive me away
Are the things people do and the things that they say
And the smell of the city leaves me sick
Conditions are fine for a lunatic
I remember things weren't always the same
But when I used to care I got a bad name
It leaves me searching for atmosphere
Coz mediocrity is something I fear
And she dances with me in the depths of night
She glitters like the stars shining in twilight
In the dark she's fine but in the dawn she flips
That's why I wait for an eclipse
And I want to talk but I get no advice
The fragments of my feelings in the pale moonlight
I continue to burn she continues to glow
And a stream of conversation becomes a flow...
7.Memories Of The Mirage
Sitting here waiting for the dark
Hoping that my love will embark
She's my girl she's my lover she will always give me cover when
I need it
Standing here just out of reach
Looking for the Ebony Beach
I know it drove me crazy but my memories are hazy so I'll leave
it
But I don't know if I can say what I mean
I don't know if I can fulfill my dreams
And I like the taste of a nice tangerine
I'm surrounded by whores but I'm being straightforward and I
mean it
Sleeping in a dusty hall
Waiting for the Virgin to call
Think I could scream that if it's a dream it's a good one
Going for a nightly run
Thinking what needs to be done
Thinking of school and the apathetic fools when I stopped them
Watching them fade to black
Hoping that they don't come back
She laughed at my dreams and low self-esteem's what I don't need
Nothing is out of my reach
For I have found the ebony beach
And I sampled a part for this is the start of a new breed
8.Key And Bike
I heard what you're saying on the way up to Fife
And that was 'Chances are there's skeletons in everyone's life'
Although I listened I will still disagree
Coz you're as stupid as Shania Twain who sold out for free
It would be better for me if I could take the key
And I could see what it's like given the key and bike
It could be better for me if I gave you the key
And I could know what it's like without the key and bike
I heard what you were saying sat in Tunbridge Wells
And that is 'I've got my life to lead I guess you have as well
We need to find ourselves- we're lost in snafu'
And I said 'You're in love and so am I just not with you'
Life's so much better for me now that you have the key
And you can do what you like given the key and bike
Get back with me and you can have the key
And we will see what it's like with both the key and bike
9.Reservation Blues
Wanted to be here 20 years ago
Realised I couldn't make it alone
Selected all the people that I wanna be near
Watched in horror as they disappeared
Hey hey Moses! What do you know？ Your only aid is the people you
know
Hey Rhiannon! I'm glad you're alive- you're our community and we
need to thrive
Way up on the prairie met a native man
He took our community and we took his land
We gave them Winnebagos out on the plain
Reservation blues are always the same
Peace in the valley the valley above
Peace in the valley the valley of love
Fire on the hillside and blood on our hands
Smoke in our jackets, we fire on command
So cut negociations and head into town-
There'll be a massacre in Newfoundland!
Virtue is the veil that we've had all along
They can't speak English ：. they must be wrong!
10.Going Down
Spent my life in states of disarray
Wasted time to think of words to say
But don't despair, these words have come from me
I'm going down to be free
Where the sky meets the sea
I'm going down to find some way
To be with you someday- I'm going down.
Saw nothing that I was living for
Messed things up because I was unsure
But don't despair- today belongs to me!
Oh don't despair, escape is what I need.
