1.Europe
I lost my teeth on the edge of a glass
It is fun while it lasts, and it lasts and it lasts
I am drunk on style and inherited class
I am queen at the bar I am kept for the farce
And the water laps at the harbour side
And these salon walls are petrified
And we？re drunk on style and inherited class
And the salon walls were built to last
So sit with me and we？ll raise a glass to Europe
I fix my eye on the turn of the vial
I can trace your life with a sneer and a sigh
I am antique lace and a - glass
I am grey haired chests and push up bras
And the water laps at the harbour side
And these cafe walls are petrified
We are antique lace and a - glass
And these cafe walls were built to last
So sit with me and we？ll raise a glass to Europe
I can write my name in my father？s hand
I can see your souls I can understand
I can dress myself I can see you pass
I can lick my lips I can slap your arse
And the water laps at the harbour side
And these hatreds are petrified
We can dress ourselves we can see you pass
And these hatreds were built to last
So sit with me and we？ll raise a glass to Europe
And the water laps at the harbour side
Our royal dance is codified
We are all traversed in suicides
We are condoms washed on the harbour side
So sit with me and we？ll toast the bride of Europe...
2.Your Money
Look at you
Look at your hair
Look at you
Look at you, mein Herr
Look at you
You're looking utterly seamless
Like an actor playing a genius
Look at you
Look at your luck
At the girl you don't love
And the wife you don't fuck
Look at you
Look at what you've bought
With all that hard, hard work
And all that financial support
And I loathe and resent
Every dream I've dreamt
And I've nothing but contempt for your money
I can't access or save
Any gifts you gave
And I've nothing to offer your money
Your money
Your money
Your money
Oh oh oh
Ungh ungh ungh ungh ungh
Ah.
Look at me
Look at me begging
Look at me
I'm craven, feral and begging
Look at me
With all my clever ideas
And my bottled up anger and irrational fears
Look at me
Look upon my works
You could stick a label on them
You could sell them as merch
Look at your victory
I'll betray anyone
Do it to Julia
Do it to Julia
I loathe and resent
Every dream I've dreamt
And I've nothing but contempt for your money
I can't access or save
Any gifts you gave
And I've nothing to offer your money
Your money
Your money
Your money
Oh lay me down and take me, baby
I will do anything just save me
A place beside you at your table
And ungh ungh ungh ungh ungh
Ah.
The mediocre
Have an interest in promoting the mediocre
But I will find you out
I will find you out
I will find you out
I will find you out
3.We Love You, Tania
Oh Patty, drive the car
Drive the car into the city
We run guns to the savages
You？ve seen in magazines
It？s the summers without love
It？s the grind of the seventies
It？s the sickness of America
Where nobody is clean
Oh Patty, your daddy
Well he？s richer than anyone
Yeh he？s richer than everyone
In this whole stinking world
Ain？t it pretty in the city
When you？re nothing like anyone
When you？re other to everyone
You？re a valuable girl
Patty, shoot the gun
Shoot the gun at the enemy
It？s monochrome in scarlet
It？s your cheekbones, it？s your age
It？s the other side of style
It？s the era of publicity
A war in silhouette and lines
Inscribed upon a page
Oh Patty, your daddy
Well he？s richer than anyone
Yeh he？s richer than everyone
In this whole stinking world
Ain？t it pretty in the city
When you？re nothing like anyone
When you？re other to everyone
You？re a valuable girl
Patty, take the stand
Take the stand before the jewellery
It？s perfectly explicable
It？s packaged and it？s sold
You？re as free as free can be
You are free to doubt in liberty
Oh darling deadly innocence
How cruelly bites the cold
Well Patty, your daddy
He？s richer than anyone
Yeh he？s richer than everyone
In this whole stinking world
Ain？t it pretty in the city
When you？re nothing like anyone
When you？re other to everyone
You？re a valuable girl
4.Ill
You got sweethearts, you got pressures
You？ve got starlight, and pretty wishes
You got sisters who sing on the radio
And vessels to possess on the radio
Your sex is a sickness, yeh your sex is a sickness
And you got time, yeh you got time to lose
Because you？ll never take enough of those pills
You know you？re too clever to be mentally ill
You？ll never fashion your damaged soul
Because you？re too clever to lose control
You got doctors and you got stitches
You got lovers and you？ve got well wishers
You got vapid love in a couplette
2000 words and a side bar
Your sickness is your shibboleth, your sex is a sickness
And you got time, yeh you got time to lose
Because you？ll never take enough of those pills
You know you？re too clever to be mentally ill
You？ll never fashion your damaged soul
Because you？re too clever to lose control
5.Flesh
Hey girls, let？s see if we can bring out the rapists in the new
men
Hey girls, it？s the comfort of the only halfway human
The power bought for the clawing self in the serpent's subtle
deals
It may be fleeting but my God the way it feels
And I love you, whoever you are
Yeh, I love you
And I love you, whoever you are
Yeh, I love you
Hey girls, we？re almost there so we might as well stop swimming
Hey girls, don't you have more concern about the hegemony than
the women
Hey girls, come on down there？s money, come on babe, just a
little
Pull it down, stick it out, open up, just a little babe, just a
little baby
Hey doc, take your knife to me, scar my snatch into a smile
Strip me and dissect me, milk my tears and tap my bile
Hey doc, can you take my skin and melt it into plastic
Beauty isn't truth, it's just youth, and it's adaptive and it？s
elastic
And I love you, whoever you are
Yeh, I love you (x2)
Hey girls, we？re all the same, aren？t we... (x a million)
6.Savages
The flame in your eyes could burn the world if it were to escape
And the love in your heart is the kind of love they write epic
verse about
And darling you know
You know that you're better than this
Darling you know, that we are better than this
But we are ash and we are books, coffee-stained and overlooked
We are ornamental swords forged for the peace after the war
And the world has no need of the songs that we sang
We are savages you and I
And we will hang, hang, hang
We will hang.
The tear on your cheek will fall ignored by the circus to fake
romance
And the hope in your heart will be dashed on the shore of this
deadly island
Darling you know
There's no promised land for us
We build and we'll sweat
But there's no place for us
No Garden and no home we are Greeks in the age of Rome
With no right to criticise the happily dull to Grecian eyes
Now the world has no need of the songs that we sang
We are savages you and I and we will hang, hang, hang.
The sweat of your brow will be disdained, shunned and deodorized
And the war of your heart shall spoil in the haze of a new world
And darling you know
You know we're better unheard
And darling you know
We are better unserved
The brave new futures we have seen, filled with beautiful
machines
The greener pastures, clearer skies and none such as you and I
As the dust shall settle sweetly on the songs that we sang
We are Savages
We must hang.
7.Roses
I breached the borders of your home
And everything looked as it should have done
Candle flame flickers and books unread
Round the crystal kept on an unmade bed
Flowers cut to shrivel and die
Like romance does and we both know why
With an artful flutter as if on cue
A gentle breeze brings the scent of you
I？m older than God and I live in your town
You shouldn？t raise up what you can？t put down
Those books that you pose with are more than antiques
When you search in the dark you should fear what you seek
Pallid in moonlight your shimmering skin
Is mine to caress you invited me in
The delicate architecture of your throat
Arcs sweetly away as my hands approach
Do you bleed diamonds
Do you bleed rubies
Do you bleed roses
A broken kiss and an aching sigh
Like a half heard end of a lullaby
A whispering chorus and a stifled moan
The jarring vibration of knife on bone
The stark composition of essence and parts
I gathered your limbs for a final dance
A silent waltz to your songs unsung
As the lifeblood seeps from your punctured lung
Do you bleed diamonds
Do you bleed rubies
Do you bleed roses (x2)
Oh you bleed diamonds
You bleed rubies
You bleed roses (x2)
8.Sympathy For The Devil
The country I was born in it has honeysuckle air
The scented breeze caressed girls with hay-bale yellow hair
The satisfied and misty eyed make sport and merry there
I will meet you at the border in the morning
The land I left is full of love and radiant in spring
The songs are sweet and solemn there and everyone can sing
I could have bought you roses, could have bought you anything
I？ll meet you at the border in the morning
The country I was born in it created me compelled
But all reason is retrospective, love I just rebel
Hang heaven, we can build a better war for us in hell
And I？ll meet you at the border in the morning
I？ve loved you like a clinging fist above the clawing sea
I？ve cut you with a whip of a thousand cruelties
I？m sorry that I met you and I？m begging darling please
Come meet me at the border in the morning
And oh this world？s got nothing in it, no, no, no, no
And oh this world？s got nothing in it, no, no, no, no
Your eyes are bright like polished jewels and they cry like
razored skin
I would your will erased transfigured into sin
I would rip you into pieces and rebuild you from within
I will meet you at the border in the morning
Sing poets and sing singers at the altar of the straight
Of better days, happy fields, and other shit we hate
Let？s go into the darkness love, and close our eyes and wait
We are heading for the border in the morning (x2)
9.Be Afraid Of Your Parents
It？s been a marvellous party, marvellous guests
Discussing the decline of the decadent West
The nibbles and wine we are disarmed and impressed
By the charming men in uniform
It？s been a wonderful evening we？ve exchanged our views
How the Zionists doesn？t mean the Jews
And the single step, did we feel confused
By the charming men in uniform
Be afraid of your parents, be afraid of their clever friends
I？ve read this book before and darling I can tell you how it
ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you, be afraid of the way it
goes
You？d be amazed at what you can raise to something everybody
knows
We？ve read our Jacques Derrida, our Michel Foucault
We？ve averted our eyes from the atrocity show
It？s better to beat up on the devil that you know
Than the charming men in uniform
Or give praise to the empty heaven above
And reject the sword and embrace the dove
I see the world suffused with love
And the charming men in uniform
Be afraid of your parents, be afraid of their clever friends
I？ve read this book before and darling I can tell you how it
ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you, be afraid of the way it
goes
You？d be amazed at what you can raise to something everybody
knows
Be afraid of your parents, be afraid of their clever friends
I？ve read this book before and honey I can tell you how it ends
Be afraid of the line they teach you, be afraid of the way it
goes
You？d be amazed at what you can raise to something everybody
knows
10.Jerusalem
In a compact on the edge of town
Security to keep the outside out
You and your friends discussing how
It seems rebellious to vote Conservative now
Your mind？s so sharp and your eyes so bright
You shine in love, you are born anointed
You mean so well, and you？ll hurt so bad
When you come to be disappointed
And I will never go home again
And we will build Jerusalem
And I don？t know about us but I know about them
And we will build Jerusalem, Jerusalem..
You know exactly how clever sounds
The soft consonants and rounded vowels
You know the land that she labours and
Your hypotheses have been confirmed
We all love The Smiths, and we dig The Clash
But the smell of leather is intoxicating
Brilliant minds, we are genii
We excel at drama and formal debating
And I am never going home again
And we will build Jerusalem
And I don？t know about us but I know about them
And we will build Jerusalem
Jerusalem (x3)
And you can take your burning goal
You can take your swords and spears
You can take your lamb of God
You can take these deadly years
You can win and win and win again
The dice are loaded, you？ll never miss
And I am never going home again
And we will build Jerusalem
And I don？t know about us but I know about them
And we will build Jerusalem
11.Anthem For Doomed Youth
You？re howling, abyss-eyed and broken
You？re perverted, ungracefully drunk
But there？s nobody left in the West these days
Wronged enough to be a punk
Doomed youth, you？re so beautiful
You never learn to be suspicious of the stones
That look too precious to be true
Like you, doomed youth
The spit at the edge of your mouth
The stain at the crotch of your jeans
The three inch bruise at the crook of your arm
That in the right light looks like Jesus
The smirk you can？t hide when you cry
The care in the knot of your tie
It？s really not that hard to stay alive
When you？re 25,doomed youth
Ah, doomed youth (x3)
Your party and your revolution
Your grand designs and adorable dreams
Your silverless palms and your list of demands
For concessions the world doesn？t need
Ah doomed youth, you？re too beautiful
All your simplicities that you know they can？t see
Like you can do, doomed youth
And everything？s different lately
And it？s all exactly the same
We know secrets and songs and temptation
We know how things burn when you don？t watch the flame
And the colours are hazy and faded
The ideas given way to the names
We are miners no more, never torn by war
Neither starving nor struggling nor credibly poor
Ah doomed youth (x3)
12.I Don't Care If It's True
You can dissect a heart
And you can dissect a dove
But you would never discern
A single speck of peace or love
I wasn't built for this world
I don't value its gold
I don't feel like you feel
I am unsignified and old
So I don't care if it's true
No I don't care if it's true
There's not a thing you could prove
That would mean anything to me
I have been in the world
And I have seen you're adored
I have put on your shoes
I have been preoccupied and bored
I have walked in your streets
With no eyes on my face
And not once have I seen
One single hint of grace
So I don't care if it's true
No I don't care if it's true
There's not a thing you could prove
That would mean anything to me
By an act of the whole will (x2)
I will unmake the world
Yeh I will unmake everything
