English Summer Rain
Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages
Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages
I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by
I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by
Hold your breath and count to ten
And fall apart and start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
Start again start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
And fall apart and start again
Start again
This Picture
I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Left cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described our world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night while I was on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?
Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
And watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken set of four
You know we miss her
We miss her picture
Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrated
The fear of growin old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growin old
Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We fuckin miss her picture
Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrated
The fear of growin old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growin old
We hang on
Though we try
It's gone
Sometimes it's faded
Disentigrated
The fear of growin old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growin old
You can't stop growin old
You can't stop growin old
You can't stop growin old
You can't stop growin old
Sleeping With Ghosts
The sea's evaporating
Though it comes as no suprise
These clouds we're seein
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the lines
Hush
It's ok
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die
This one world vision
Turns it's hand to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killin'
Damn their lies
Hush
It's ok
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
The Bitter End
Since we're feeling so anesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
We're running out of allibies
From the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter's day
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
Every step we take that's synchronised
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
(From the time we intercepted)
(Feels more like suicide)
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
Something Rotten
Get real
It seems
When you're here I miss you something rotten
The stinks
Are here
It's guaranteed all's forgotten
Tell me
Tell me
It's clear
Perhaps you have forgotten
Don't fear
Don't fear
You're clean
All is forgotten
So you stand
So you stand
So you stand
I miss you something rotten
So you stand
So you stand
This crown
Is broken rotten
Tell me
Tell me
No it's not
It's all forgotten
Tell me
Tell me
So you stand
I miss you something rotten
Tell me
Tell me
It stinks
It stinks it's something rotten
Don't fear
Don't fear
You're clean
All is forgotten
And you're left behind
Plasticine
Beauty lies inside the eye
Of another youthful dream
That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine
Beauty lies inside desire
And every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
The only thing you can rely on
Is that you can't rely on anything
Don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem
Don't be plasticine
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Don't forget to be the way you are
Special Needs
Remember me when you're the one who's silver screened
Remember me when you're the one you'd always dreamed
Remember me whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me special needs
Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior
Remember me when you clinch your movie deal
And think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screens
Remember me special dreams
Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior
Just nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior
Remember me
Remember me
I'll Be Yours
I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
Your liquid peace
I'll be your ether
You'll breathe me in
It won't release
Well I've you suffer
I've seen you cry
A whole life through
I'll be your water
Bathing you clean
Your liquid blue
I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours
I'll be your liquior
Bathing your soul
Juice that's pure
I'll be your anchor
You'll never leave
These shores that cure
Well I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry
For days and days
So I'll be your liquior
Demons will drown
And float away
I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover
I'll be yours
Second Sight
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were you never were
Yes it's just the second night
That I would break that guise for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
Cause I'm cursed with second sight so
Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
Here comes the morning after
Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
You never were you never were
Yes it's just the second night
That I would break that guise for you
Yes I know you're the jealous type
Cause I'm cursed with second sight so
Walk away
You never were
Walk away
You never were
Walk away
You never were
Walk away
You never
Protect Me From What I Want
It's the disease of the age
It's the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home
Corporate America waits
Coffee republic and cakes
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call a home
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me
Maybe we're victim to fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone
Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me protect me
Centrefolds
Come on Balthazar
I refuse to let you die
Come of fallen star
I refuse to let you die
Cause it's wrong
And I've been waitin far too long
And it's wrong
I've been waitin far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be
Be mine
For you to be mine
Be mine
For you to be mine
And it's wrong
I've been waitin far too long
It's wrong
I've been waitin far too long
For you to be
Be
Be
Be
All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes
All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes
So be
Be mine
So be
Be mine
