1.Domestic Scene
Domestic scene what's missing here?
Leaving just in time
Social climbers at the frontier
But I refuse that climb
I'm leaving just in time
I'm leaving just in time
Leaving just in time
Domestic scene do I belong?
Seemed like a good idea at one time
But now it's all wrong
Already declined
I'm leaving just in time
I'm leaving just in time
Leaving just in time
Leaving just in time
I'm leaving just in time
I'm leaving just in time
Leaving just in time
2.Heaven's On Fire
When I look at you, heaven's on fire
I wish I didn't know you better, but it's pointless
One look at you, and heaven's on fire
When I look at you, I reach for a piano wire
Fighting to keep it together, but it's pointless
One look at you and heaven's on fire,
Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
I'm a little like you,
Ugly on the inside
But while I dive into the gritty
You just stand by
When I look at you
Heaven's on fire
Heaven's on fire
It seems like everyone is on your side
We're outnumbered by those who take no pride
In constantly moving against the tide
Charlatans just out of reach and out of time
3.This Time Around
You're young like tonight
And to be young is to be right
You never had to prove your loyalty
Now you want to know when I'm off my hunger strike
You were always treated like royalty
You say it's not a song
That will prove them wrong
This time around
You feel old like the fight
Learning new ways to be right
And how to cope with disloyalty
It's not a song
That will prove them wrong
This time around
All the things we hoped for
They are gone
They have sailed across the sea
And all the things we tried for
They're gone
They're gone this time around
This time around
You're young like tonight
And to be young is to be right
You never had to prove any loyalty
But we dreamt of a war
On that night and in that car
We made a promise
Do you recall?
It's not a song
That will prove them wrong
This time around
4.Never Follow Suit
I want to
You knew that I would want to
It makes me feel bad
But I've been waiting for a long time
I want to
Yes I've wanted to
Long before you
I want to
And I've been waiting for a long time
I want to
I always wanted to belong to
The freak scene
Or anyone who had set their mind to
Never follow suit again
Because they have to
I want to
I always wanted to belong to
(('STYLE WARS' sample)
Every time I get on a train
Almost everyday I see my name,
I'll say:
'yeah y'know I was there, I bombed it'
It's for me, it's not for nobody else to see
I don't care about nobody else seeing it
All these other people who don't write
They're excluded
I don't care about them
They don't matter to me,
It's for us
It's for us)
You want to
You said you didn't want to
It makes me feel bad
Because I could never bring you
You want to
You wanted to
But never dared to
You want to now
But I've been waiting for a long time
We will never follow suit
We will never follow suit
We will always stay off route
5.A Token Of Gratitude
Please accept this
as a token
of my sincere gratitude
I'm not joking
There's the singing
the provoking
and all the promises made
That were broken
Do I love you?
Yes I love you
But easy come, easy go
Don't let me down
6.The Video Dept.
I have kept your diary on tape
I have covered every angle of your face
From ear to ear and then you would smile
And disappear for a while
Take me when you go out again
I want to buy some stuff from your friend
It's good to know we both still care
And that we have this to share
7.Memory Loss
It's a trap
Someone's waiting in the tall grass
It's a trap
No one around for miles
But you're all smiles
This disease
I find everything pursuing
I forget that I hate so many things
Like techno clubs
I prefer the queuing
If I curse
If I should accuse you
Please tell me that I'm wrong
If I'm worse
I'm just scared to lose you
I've wanted this too long
Can you please
tell me what I'm doing?
I don't know
Swear I haven't got a clue
It's all new
If I curse
If I should accuse you
Please tell me that I'm wrong
If I'm worse
I'm just scared to lose you
I've wanted this too long
8.David
Asleep for twenty years with this feeling
but I was on your side
and he's spent some 20 years with this feeling
of being lost inside
he was lost inside
of his mind
just like I've been holding on for all our lives
all our lives
Oh David won't you look into my
He Turned too many heads for one lifetime
he never had to try
and he stained too many beds for one lifetime
but always asking why
always asking why...why
Just like I've been doing up until tonight
Why
Just like I've been doing David all my life
all my life
Oh David, won't you look into my
Oh David won't you look into my eyes
Oh David won't you look into my eyes
Oh David won't you look into my eyes
9.Four Months In The Shade
10.You Stopped Making Sense
You stopped making sense
You stopped making sense
You forgot about your friends
I want to come closer
I want to come closer
I want to come closer
That's all I want
Since you let God in
You believe in sin
But of course there's no such thing
Just like there's no Santa
No equality before the law
No people without flaws
You forgot all about us
And for what cause?
You believe the lie
Saying you won't die
I know you were scared but so am I
That's why I can't lose you
Whatever they told you
I'm dying to hold you
Don't let them blindfold you
Don't say goodbye
