English Summer Rain

Always stays the same
nothing ever changes
english summer rain
seems 2 last 4 ages

I`m in the basement
you`re in the sky
I`m in the basement
drop on by

hold your breath and count to 10
then fall apart and start again
start again

This Picture

spoken
I hold an image of the ashtray girl
Of cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night whilst 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
Watch out for eartquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

(Chorus:)
Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old*
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
And giant fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
We cry and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

(Chorus)

I can`t stop growing old

Sleeping With Ghosts

the sea`s evaporating
though it comes as no surprise
these clouds we`re seeing
they`re explosions in the sky
it seems it`s written
but we can`t read between the line
hush, it`s ok
dry your eye

dry your eye
sooulmate dry your eye
`cause soulmates never die

this one world vision
turns us into compromise
what good`s religion
when it`s each other we despise?
damn the government
damn their killing
damn their lies
hush, it`s ok
dry your eyes

soulmate dry your eyes
`cause 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

Plasticine

beatuy lies inside the eye
of another youthful dream
that doesn`t sell its soul for self-esteem
that`s not plasticine

beauty lies inside desire
and every wayward heart redeemed
that doesn`t not plasticine

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

Special Needs

Remember me when your the one that´s silver screened.
Remember me when your the one you always dreamed. Remember me whenever noses start to bleed. Remember me: SPECIAL NEEDS

Just ninteen, a sucker´s dream.
I guess i thought you had the flavour.
Just ninteen, a dream obscene.
With six months off for bad behaviour.

Remember me when you clinch your movie deal.
Think of me stuck in my chair that has 4 wheels.
Remember me through flash photography and screams. Remember me: SPECIAL NEEDS

Just ninteen, a sucker´s dream.
I guess i thought you had the flavour.
Just ninteen, a dream obscene.
With six months off for bad behaviour

I'll BE Yours

i'll be your water,
bathing you clean with liquid peace,
i'll be your ether,
you'll breathe me in,
you won't release,
i've seen you suffer,
i've seen you cry the whole night trough,
so i'll be your water,
bathing you clean with liquide blue,

i'll be your father,
i'll be your mother,
i'll be your lover,
i'll be yours,

i'll be your liquor,
bathing your soul in juice that's pure,
i'll be your be your anchor,
you'll never leave these shores that cure,
i've seen you suffer,
i've seen you cry for days and days,
so i'll be you liquor,
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

Third verse
Sang it first

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

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 wakes
Coffee republic and cakes
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home

Protect me from what I want

Maybe we're victims of 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

Centrefolds

Come on Balthazar
I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star
I refuse to let you die
'Cause it's wrong
And I've been waiting for too long
For you to be
Be mine

All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
They've long since waved their
Last good-byes
All the centrefolds
That you can't afford
You've long sinse fades from
Their lies
So be
Be mine
