4 Minute Warning
4 Minute Warning
This is just a nightmare
Soon I’m going to wake up
Someone’s gonna bring me ’round
Running from the bombers
Hiding in the forest
Running through the fields
Laying flat on the ground
Just like everybody
Steping over heads
Running from the underground
This is your warning
4 minute warning
I don’t wanna hear it
I don’t wanna know
I just wanna run and hide
This is just [...]
Bangers n Mash
Bangers n Mash
You bit me, bit me, bit me, ow
You bit me, bit me, now I want more
Standing in the hall
Kicking out the wall
It’s all been sent to recover hell
The bangers and the mash
The negatives for cash
You’re either in the club, baby, or you’re not
Whatever turns you on
Whatever gets you off
Chief of police or vice-chancellor
Lord [...]
Up on the Ladder
Up on the Ladder
I’m stuck in the tardis
trapped in hyperspace
one minute snake charming
the next in a motorcade
all the right moves and
earn the right percent
watch me dance like a puppet
you can almost see the strings
give me an answer
give [...]
Last Flowers
Last Flowers
Appliances have gone berserk
I cannot keep up
Treading on people’s toes
Snot-nosed little punk
And I can’t face the evening straight
You can offer me escape
Houses move and houses speak
If you take me then you’ll get relief
relief, relief, relief, …
And if I’m gonna talk
I just wanna talk
Please don’t interrupt
Just sit back and listen
Cause I can’t face the evening [...]
Go Slowly
Go Slowly
Over here
Come slowly
Come slowly to me
I’ve been waiting
Patient
Patiently
I didn’t
But now I can see
That there’s a way out
That there’s a way out
That there’s a way out
That there’s a way out
Down Is the New Up
Down Is the New Up
Get yourself together
Let the light pour in
Pour yourself a hot bath, pour yourself a drink
Nothing’s gonna happen without a warning
Down is the new up
What is up, buttercup
Down is the new up, is the new up
Your services are not required
Your future’s bleak, you’re so last week
Ladies and gentlemen, without a safety net
I [...]
Videotape
Videotape
When I’m at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he’s reaching up to grab me
This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green
You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape
This is my way of [...]
Jigsaw Falling into Place
Jigsaw Falling into Place
Just as you take my hand
Just as you write my number down
Just as the drinks arrive
Just as they play your favourite song
As your bad day disappears
No longer wound up like a spring
Before you’ve had too much
Come back in focus again
The walls are bending shape
You got a cheshire cat grin
All blurring into one
This [...]
House of Cards
House of Cards
I don’t want to be your friend
I just want to be your lover
No matter how it ends
No matter how it starts
Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine
Forget about your house of cards
And I’ll do mine
Fall off the table,
Get swept under
Denial, denial
The infrastructure will collapse
Voltage spikes
Throw your keys in the bowl
Kiss your [...]
Reckoner
Reckoner
Reckoner
You can’t take it with you
Dancing for your pleasure
You are not to blame for
Bittersweet distractor
Dare not speak its name
Dedicated to all you
all human beings
Because we separate like
ripples on a blank shore
(in rainbows)
Because we separate like
ripples on a blank shore
(in rainbows)
Reckoner
Take me with you
Dedicated to all you
all human beings
