LIVE WITHOUT THIS

Maybe I dont believe anymore
that it's worth the fight.
And maybe I just made a wrong turn
I could still put it right
I don't need this
I could live without this
I could live without this

Maybe all the songs have already been sold
to keep us alive
And now it's just fulfilling only us
pedestrian and contrived
I don't need this
I could live without this
I could live without this

Listen to the mass indifference
Listen to the monkeys typing

I don't need this
I could live without this
I could live without this
I don't need this
I could live without this
Think I could live without this

Listen to the mass indifference
Listen to the monkeys typing
Listen to the mass indifference
Listen to the monkeys tapdancing
Listen to the mass indifference
Listen to the monkeys typing.

BUILDING

I'm in a city
where the people help each other to their beds.
Say what you want.
Say what you want.

Complete the picture
with a girl who only listens to the dead.
Say what you want.
Say what you want.

And did I choose to be
the one who is left?
Or is this something sinister?
Or is this proof against my ignorance?
Or am I meant to waste away?

Complete the picture
with a girl who only listens to the dead.
Prays to them please.
Say what you want.

Say what you want. (Say what you want.)
Deliverance can wait.
Say what you want. (Say what you want.)
And how I should behave,
just call.

Trapped in a building
With the ghosts of all the people I've betrayed.
Say what you want.
Say what you want.
And theres no reason
to step out into a nation that won't see me.
Say what you want.
Say what you want.

And is this proof against my ignorance?
Or am I meant to waste away?

And did i choose to be
the one who is left?
Or is this something sinister?

Say what you want. (x8)

ROADSIDE NO.2

You standing by the road I'm leaving, I told you before
everything was leading to this.
You standing by the road, I don't want to leave you behind
but who am I to talk.
You see I just cant make it on my own,
although I never felt this strong before.
Flocks in motion, won't sustain me for long.
You always had the wisdom to know that I'm watching you go,
you know that I'm the one that's trapped.
You see I just cant make it on my own,
although I never felt this strong before.
you see I just can't make it on my own
although I never felt like that before
see I just can't make it on my own
I don't think that I'm ready to go

LANDSLIDE

We're caught in a landslide
Noone else is there
I try to be true
but I don't have the strength
Listening all alone in your room was your finest hour
Being overlooked by those who can only follow little men
We're caught in a landslide
we're caught in a net
and I'm caught in the middle
Leaving you miles ahead.
How can you come this far
and never wish them dead
I try to be true
but I don't have the strength
We're caught in a landslide
we're caught in a net
and I'm caught in the middle
Leaving you miles ahead.
Listening all alone in your room was your darkest hour
Being clothed and fed by the ones who can only follow little men.
Caught in a landslide
Caught in a net
Caught in a landslide
Caught in a net
Caught in a landslide
Caught in a net
I must try harder

IN THE BEGINNING

You seem to want it just like it was in the beginning
You want me without the ambition, just like before
But oh no that's not the idea
That's not the way I see it at all
Now you ask me, "Can't you relax for a minute?"
But I have far better things to do

Listening to the silence for all the answers
Travelling the world, trying hard not to touch the ground
and it's so appealing, this mind over matter
Somebody save me from myself

The truth won't hurt a bit

Time's running out and I've no time for anyone
Don't give me that look, I know what's best for me
The truth won't hurt a bit
The truth won't hurt a bit

It's so appealing, this mind over matter
somebody save me, from myself.

The truth won't hurt a bit
Truth won't hurt a bit
Truth won't hurt a bit
Truth won't hurt a bit
Truth won't hurt a bit

BELIEVE IN ANGER

You have to give me
an explanation
For all that you have put us through
You believe in anger
but never show it
I'm told it only makes it worse
Your half-assed blessing is a curse
pretty soon you will regret what you have done

The world is bigger
than I remember
and life is shorter than I thought
I believe in Anger
Try not to show it
But I remember what it's for

Pretty soon you will regret what you have done

Now even when I
have to go there
instead of ruining my day
your London seems so far away
and I prefer it that way

SOME OF THESE PEOPLE

You're OK
You're OK
keeping occupied in your peculiar way
kicking back, kicking back
on the counter attack
but you may as well forget it
Some of these people didn't know
most of these people didn't care to know
You're no contender
think you're true to yourself
and you may even be right
but you're obselete
say goodbye, say hey
it was worth the try
and then put it all behind you
Some of these people you don't know
Most of these people you wouldn't care to know
These people didn't know
and most of these people didn't care to know
You're no contender.

NIGHTLIGHT

The town is sleeping
tucked up and content
I am walking
the only one awake
high on sleep debt
anything is possible
and nothing looks the same
I feel like a ghost
the spirits and the wolves
were driven underground
but they need a requiem
or they'll be back somehow
and nothing will be the same
Sorry Father, I had to wake you up
no, nothing's happened
I just got the urge to call
I know it's stupid
but something just made me want
to know that all is well
I was so afraid
the spirits and the wolves
were driven underground
but they need a requiem
or they'll be back somehow
and I'll need to find another soul
we'd hold up till the morning
when everything makes sense
and I know that all is well
top






OVER

Have you given in?
Could it be so hard?
Couldn't we pretend there's nothing wrong?
Is there nothing left
We could hold on to?
Doesn't it deserve to run it's course?
It's over now
You shouldn't kid yourself
I'm not to blame
You blew your one and only chance
Could it be so hard?
How can you let go?
Did you think you'd trample on my bones?
It's over now
You shouldn't kid yourself
I'm not to blame
You blew your one and only chance
Don't get me wrong
I've been dreaming of this
It's just that it was supposed to be my choice
Is there nothing left
We could hold on to?
Doesn't it deserve to run it's course?

HISTORY / FICTION

I told you all that I wanted to say
and you believed all you wanted to hear.
Our little fictions helped to break up the day
they keep us warm and they keep back the fear.
And to know, could have thrown us out of sync
like breathing when you try too hard
And to know, could have shaken us away
made us see it as a waste of time
Waste of time
Waste of time
We're not our personal history book
start again when we get to the end
And it's a fiction like all history
it's been distorted until it makes sense
And to know, could have blown us out of sync
like breathing when you try too hard
And to know, could have shaken us away
made us see it as a waste of time
But to know, could have thrown us out of sync
but it never was a waste of time
Waste of time

UNWANTED GIFT

You saved my life again
An unwanted gift
What once was mine
Belongs to you
But in a crowded room
You paraded me
Your trophy man
Your grateful serf
You've stolen all the words
I wanted to set down
How can I agonise
Now that I'm safe at home
With you
You saved my life again
But how can I pretend
To want it any other way
To suffer to stay genuine
resenting an unwanted gift

CIAO! MY SHINING STAR

Ciao my shining star
was all it took
to bring on the look you love so much
Well i flipped out on Henry
And the notes you left behind
So often unkind but not from you
And I was making a wish
That you were reading this

You have taken my advantage away
Miss popcorn well I must say
You take a little stumble
Well it's understansdable my dear
But you can't slip right through it all

Well I was always going round alone
and then I bumped into you
And now you just keep on bumping me back
Well that's a big hat you have there
And I have a great big head
So empty inside before my thoughts of you

I was making a wish that you were reading this
You have taken my advantage away
Miss popcorn well I must say
You take a little stumble
Well it's understandable my dear
But you can't slip right through it all

Wasn't that significant
It was the very first time
I lay down in the sunshine
And laid away my moonshine
That big fat fisherman
Keeps swimming in
Fishing for a fish
And i was making a wish that you were reading this
That you were reading this
I was making a wish

You have taken my advantage away
Miss popcorn well I must say
You take a little stumble
Well it's understandable my dear
But you can't slip right through it all
You have taken my advantage away
Miss popcorn well I must say
You take a little stumble
Well it's understandable my dear
But you can't slip right through it all
Slip right trough it all Slip right through it all...

ALL THIS TIME

God forgive me
I have to disown you
I worship an idol
who's made prior claim
the sound of the sirens
breaking the silence
arresting my conscience
luring me in
with a blood rush
and a headrush
I go to my special place
I believe that given time
I could be permanently erased
this old body
feels like it hates me
doesn't take orders
just makes demands
we signed a peace deal
but I don't know if
the way things are going
it's gonna hold

Throw me a line
I've been waiting all this time
throw me a line
I've been waiting all this time
lead me away
back out of here again
back to my first avowed intent
I know you're with me there
top






HEAVEN SENT ME

Heaven sent me
to be with you
watch above you
when you're sleeping
whisper to you
if you're listening
suffer when you
start to faulter
Call me down or let me go
Call me down or let me go
You don't heed a single warning
you're so lost and
you don't where
Bring misfortune on yourself
and I'm powerless to help
if you won't hear me
I am nothing
Call me down or let me go
Call me down or let me go
Listen to me
Heaven sent me
I can't watch this
any longer
finding solace in a bottle
I may as well have fallen
take me home now
let me go now.

MEA CULPA

When all the heroes of the world stand up to fight
it never makes a difference
they may as well accept their destiny in life
no-one will come to their defence

And how much suffering could justify these words?
there would terror in our houses if no other voice was heard
I've been guilty of despairing of the world
Mea Culpa, I won't say another word

Somebody shut me up
'cause here it comes again
this time I promise to take care
cut out my tongue cause it's more trouble that it's worth
but I can feel it, it's still there

Though it's true, many others disagree
there is more to life than this
at least it feels that way to me
I think I've done all that I could
but they're still baying for my blood
I know that it could never make a difference
Mea Culpa, I won't say another word

Though it seems contrived and a pitiful defence
but it'll taken down and it'll be used in evidence
I go on for you, for me, for years

EVERYONE HAS TO EAT

I always rely on
never forgetting
to listen to other peoples problems
A great source of comfort
when I'm uninspired
is hearing a hapless story to the end....
(I'll always have time for the great and the curious
everyone has to eat)
To the End....
(I like what you do but, I don't like your story
everyone has to eat)
The other side of life
is grist to the mill
and if you dont recognise yourself
don't let it get to you
To the End....
(I'll always have time for, the great and the curious,
Everyone has to eat)
To the End....
(I like what you do but I don't like your story,
Everyone has to eat)
So you're feeling overschedule
So the streets are not longer safe
and you feel the prepense/creeping/prepared sense that
you've been compromised
Tell me about it
and while I'm here
tell me a story
keep them tied to the end......
(I'll always have time for the great and the curious
everyone has to eat)
To the End
(I like what you do but, I don't like your story
Everyone has to eat)
To the End.....
(Please understand that it's only a living
Everyone has to eat)
To the End.....

WHOSE SIDE ARE YOU ON

7 Years have I searched through
7 different sides of you
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?
Ever shifting points of view
Disappearing into darkness
Whose side are you on?
Whose side are you on?

ALMOST HERE

When i was alone,
I felt so cold,
it's hard to keep from shaking.

I found someone and I couldn't move.
I couldn't breathe.

And you try to tell me
that we're almost here.
That we've almost made it.

How can I be somebody new,
When I see my own reflection?

And you try to tell me
that we've almost made it.
That we're almost here.

How can I be somebody new,

PEDESTRIAN

Separate the pedestrians from those who are upwardly mobile
The carnivores from those who are herded together
The Ubermensch looks better when he's spayed like a tomcat
Put behind bars and left there 'till he questions his motives
What if the ends justify the means
And it was as simple as it seems?
Blessed are the meek for they shall inherit the Earth
Even if it means they get their hands dirty
Never look at things in black and white
If I lose my patience I just might
top






WHO'S TO KNOW

I never was a true believer
I never asked you to come with me
You can find your own way home
You cannot use my indecision
Belated promises and wisdom
you can find
your own
way home
Who's to know
you dont live here anymore
Who's to know
you don't live here
anymore
Your home
is out there
somewhere
hope you
find it
coz nobody is going to help you
hope you find it
hope you find it
in time
I can't accept the things you gave me
they would only suffocate me
you can find
your own
way home
Who's to know
you don't live here anymore
Who's to know
you don't live here
anymore
your home
is out there
somewhere
hope you
find it
because nobody is going to help you
hope you find it
your home
is out there
somewhere
your home is out there
hope you find it
hope you find it
in time

STONE

The words
that I deliver,
always out of breath
out on a limb.

Life out of the mainstream,
I declare it dead and gone,
out of the scene.

None of this is harder
than knowing about you.
If you were someone else I could live
without you.

Come back later.
Be the stone around my neck.
Up-set.
Up.

And there's something
you don't notice.
What it is I
never said.

Come back later.
Be the stone around my neck.

None of this is harder than knowing about you.
If you were someone else I could live without you.

Come back later.
Be the stone around my neck.
Come back later.
Be the stone around my neck.

Up-set.
Up.

HOME AGAIN

Daylight filters through and I am restless again
My mind is on fast forward through a hundred different plans
but I lie still
remembering I'm
Home again
I told myself that it was over, never again
Motion is seductive and how can I resist?
Feeling reborn
when I return
Home again
I'm out of synch
and at these times I feel most alive
But in the end
we're reabsorbed
Home again
(I'm never going out again
all I have is here)

DAYLIGHT

Tomorrow I'll cover page one
first the ruins then the museums
nothing life-changing's happened
But I'm hoping tomorrow it will.
This won't help me
This won't help me
The sunshine is angry as hell
So I don't like venturing out
My window looks onto a store
Selling tickets to get out of here
This won't help me
Fly me back now
This won't help me
I think I've messed up
I think I've messed up
This won''t help me
The strange thing about this store
is the locals are queuing for flights
I think I'll go down there aswell
since I came here to see how they live
This won't help me
Fly me back now
This won't help me
Fly me back now
This won't help me
Fly me back now
I think I've messed up
I think I've messed up...
Fly me back now

HYPNOTIST

Did I call too late
To foil that hypnotist
Did I call too late
To foil that hypnotist

I talked you down
I brought you home
I cleaned you up
But you keep tugging
When I leave I have to lock you in
But I don't like to
You know that it's only for the best

And I don't relish it at all
I don't relish it at all

Well, maybe I want to join you
In a state of pure united bliss
Who would be the guardian angel then?
Who would there be left to kick against?
I touch you
And you don't notice it at all
You don't notice it at all
You don't notice it at all
You don't notice it at all

HIGHER THAN REASON

The shrine is located
in the front room of the house.
For some unknown reason
it's been neglected for too long.
You claim it's not a problem,
but I take it all so hard.
So when is it a problem
if you push it all so far?

Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere.
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere.

My soul is defended
by the will to stay alive.
For some unknown reason
I can't keep that will for long.
It all needs rebuilding.
And my hands are scratched and scarred.
So when is it a problem
if I take it all so hard?

Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere.
Higher than reason
is no reason
is nowhere.
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere.

If you lived here in my place,
would you eat off my plate?
Or throw it aside,
and curse your ugly fate?

Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere.
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere.
Higher than reason
higher than reason
is nowhere.

FORGET ABOUT ME

There now, just fading in my mind,
irrelevant echos of mankind.
I never met their demands.
And they never gave me half a chance.

And I don't know
another thing to talk about.
But I don't ask for your help
so you can just
forget me.
Forget about me.
Forget me.
Forget about me.

Traitors to the open hearted
consign me to my faith.
And name their own price
to leave with the story.

And still...
thinking of ways to keep my pride from running out.
Thinking of ways to keep my time from running out.
Thinking of ways to keep my pride from running out.
Thinking of ways to keep my time from running out.

Forget me.
Forget about me.
Forget me.
Forget about me.
Forget me.
Forget about me.
Forget me.
Forget about me.

COVERS

I've been kicking back
Somehow I've been finding distractions everywhere
In the end there's so much
so much else I feel that I must devour
I wrote a song, a melody
Don't pull the covers over me
Maybe I wake up and feel off-kilter
On the wrong path to some dead end
but that isn't all
I protest my right to make my own mistakes
I wrote a song a melody
Don't pull the covers over me
I wrote a song, a melody
Don't pull the covers over me
I wrote a song
to take or leave
what more do you want from me?
it even fed a need in me
Don't pull the covers over me.

FROM THIS HEIGHT

I can only picture you
when you're looking sideways on
Hope that I don't start to fade
when the nights start drawing in
Power vacuums must be filled
hypertensions keeps us tight
Does it ever seem to you
We rely on something else?

No need to mend your ways
From this height the world
doesn't seem so sad

Mid July, time to leave
I'll be late, wait for me
Replayed the game
Doesn't seem so bad

No need to mend your ways
From this height, the world
Doesn't seem so hungry
terrified
turning on itself
Safe from you and me
I could swear that no-one else was there
No-one else is there
Doesn't seem so sad
Doesn't seem so sad
Doesn't seem so sad

AGONY

Could I break through, the walls you put me in
Can I be sure you even keep me here
Blood on my fingers
seems to testify
to my imprisonment
but I have my doubts
My faith is on the wane
I will choose silence
Do I resist when you bring me bread
Am I still tempted when you promise more
Silence, I like the sound of it
if I keep up then will you let me go
Blood on my fingers
Jesus was that really me
sorrythankyousorrythankyousorrythankyou
thank you let me go
Keep me here
Keep me here

FINEST LITTLE SPACE

Sooner or later
you take off your skin and go to sleep.
You pray it's forever.
If he's still out there, he'll come home.

Too much,
for all they care.
Seen too much,
for all they care.
Been around,
and seen what's there.
And you can't bring it back anymore.

If it gets better,
is there a chance that you'll come back?
Or if it's forever,
is there a choice for us to make?

Too much,
for all they care.
Seen too much,
for all they care.
Been around,
and seen what's there.
And you can't bring it back anymore.

You're inside
the finest little space.
And the slightest sound just
Makes you want to close your eyes
and hold your breath.

Seen too much,
for all they care.
Been around,
and seen what's there.
And you can't bring it back anymore.
Seen too much,
for all they care.
And been around,
and seen what's there
seen to much,
for all they care.
And been around,
and seen whats there....

SOLVED

There's a problem
I can't solve it.
The only way out
is too hard now.
There's another one
when this one's gone.
Can't send it alone.
You can't send it alone.

And it's all I've got.
And it's not enough.
And it's time to reason out my mind.

What's a problem soon forgotten.
Catching up with me and talking
of a hero's so called perfect life.
Can't send it alone.
And this time it's alone.

And it's all I've got.
And it's not enough.
And it's time to reason out my mind.

Thinking of ways to keep my time from running out.
Thinking of ways to keep my pride from running out.
So many reasons I can give for running out.
Keep my head down but I still know
you can't send it alone.

And it's all I've got.
And it's not enough.
And it's time to reason out my mind.
And it's all I've got.
And it's not enough.
And it's time to reason out my mind.

You can't send it alone.
You can't send it alone.
You can't send it alone.
You can't send it alone.

There's a problem, I can't solve it.

I CAN'T WAIT

Berenice
Those insect-eggs
are hatching out
and I think I'm going deaf.
in one ear and my balance is shot
so you can guess
my dreams are filled
with brain-eating worms
but it's only when I wake
I really feel
the horror
and I can't wait
to have you near again
And talk about
the things that
we both went through
I admit
to fantasies
of wrist-slashing
But it doesn't make me proud
Glamorous
or any such thing
(...I can't wait.....)
Sometimes I think I want to go
Back again
to the place where we were left
Coz ever since
Nothing can come close
And I can't wait
to have you near again
and relive the things that
we both went through.
