PLANET TELEX

You can force it but it will not come true
You can taste it but it will not form
You can crush it but it's always here
You can crush it but it's always near
Chasing you home saying

everything is broken
everyone is broken

You can force it but it will stay stung
You can crush it as dry as a bone
You can walk it home straight from school
You can kiss it you can break all the rules
but still

everything is broken
everyone is broken

Why can't you forget ?

THE BENDS

where do we go from here?
the words are coming out all weird where are you now
when i need you?

alone on an aeroplane
falling asleep beside the window pane
my blood will THICKEN.

I need to wash myself again
to hide all the dirt and pain I'd be scared that there's
nothing underneath

and who are my real friends?
have they all got the bends?
am i really sinking this low?

my baby's got the bends
we don't have any real friends
i'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on talking to my girlfriend waiting for
something to happen
i wish it was the sixties i wish i could be happy i wish
i wish i wish that something would happen..

where do we go from here?
the words are coming out all weird where are you now
when i need you?
they brought in the CIA the tanks and the whole marines
to blow me away
to blow me sky high.

i want to live and breath i want to be part of the human race

HIGH & DRY

two jumps in a week i bet you think
that's pretty clever don't you boy
flying on your motorcycle
watching all the ground beneath you drop

you'd kill yourself for recognition
kill yourself to never ever stop
you broke another mirror
you're turning into something you are not

don't leave me high
don't leave me dry

drying up in conversation
you will be the one who cannot talk
all your inside fall to pieces
you just sit there wishing you could still make love
they're the ones who'll hate you
when you think you've got the world all sussed out

they're the ones who'll spit at you
you will the one screaming out

it's the best thing that you ever had

FAKE PLASTIC TREES

Her green plastic wateringcan
For her fake chinese-rubberplant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyreneman
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery for girls
In the eighties
But GRAVITY always wins
And it wears him out
top






BONES

I don't wanna be a krippled kranked
shoulders wrinst knees and back
ground to dust and ash
crawling on all fours
when you've got to feel it in your bones

now i can't climb the stairs
pieces missing everywhere
prozak painkillersss
when you've got to feel it in your bones
and i used to fly like Peter Pan
all the children flew when i touched their hands
top






NICE DREAM

they love me like i was a brother
they protect me
listen to me
they dug me my very own garden
gave me sunshine
made me happy

nice dream

i call up my friend the good angel she says she would love to come help but
the sea would
electrocute us all

nice dream

if you think that you're being strong enough
if you think you belong enough

nice dream

JUST

can't get the stink off
he's been hanging round for days
comes like a comet
suckered you but not your friends
one day he'll get to you
teach you how to be a holy cow

don't get my symphaty
hanging out the 15th floor
you've changed the locks 3 times
he still comes reeling trough the door
and soon he'll get to you
teach you how to get the purest hell

you do it to yourself you do
and that's what really hurts
you do it to yourself just you
you and noone else
you do it to youself

MY IRON LUNG

faith your driving me away
you do it everyday
you don't mean it but it hurts like HELL
my brain says im receiving pain
a lack of oxygen from my life suppoRT
my irOn lUng

weRe too young to fall asleep
too cynical to speak
we are losing it can't you tell?
we scratch our eternal itch
our twentieth century bitch and we are gratEful for our
irOn lUng

The Headshrinkers,
They want everything,
My uncle Bill,
My Belisha Beacon

suck suck your teenage thumb
toilet trained and dumb
when the power runs out
we'll just humm
this this is our new song
just like the last one
a total w.a.s.t.e of time
my
irOn lUng

BULLET PROOF..I WISH I WAS

limb by limb and tooth by tooth
tering up inside of me
everyday everyhour wish that i
was bullet proof

wax me mould me
heat the pins and stab them in
you have turned me into this just
wish that it was bullet proof

so pay me money and take a shot
lead-fill the hole in me
i could burst a million bubbles
all
surrogate
&
bullet proof

BLACK STAR

i get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing
gown
well what am i to do?
i know all the things around your head and what they do to
you
what are we coming to?
what are we gonna do?

blame it on the black star
blame it on the falling sky
blame it on the satellite that beams me home.

the troubled words of a troubled mind i try to understand
what is eating you.
i try to stay awake but it's 58hrs since that i last slept with
you.
what are we coming to?
i just don't know anymore.

i get on the train and just stand about now that i don't thin
of you.
i keep falling over i keep passing out
when i see a face like you.
what am i coming to?
i'm gonna melt down.

SULK

you bite throgh the big wall
the big wall bites back
you sit there and sulk
sit there and bawl

you are so pretty
when you're on your knees
disinfected
eager to please

sometimes you sulk
sometimes you burn
good rest your soul
when the loving comes
and we've alrwady gone
just like your dad
you'll never change

each time it comes
it eats me alive
i try to behave
but it eats me alive
so i declare
a holiday
fall asleep
drift away.

STREET SPIRIT (FADE OUT)

rows of houses all bearing down on me
i can feel their blue hands touching me
all the things in all positions
all these things will one day take control
and fade out again and fade out

this machine will not communicate
these thoughts
and the strain i am under
be a world child form a cicle before we all
go under
and fade out again and fade out again

cracked eggs dead birds
scream as they fight for life
i can feel death can see it's beady eyes
all these things into frution
all these things we'll one day swallow whole
and fade out again and fade out again.

iMMersE your soUL in LOVE.
