ENLISH 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
Drive on ny (x2)

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages (x2)

I'm in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement, baby
Drive on ny (x2)

Hold your breath and count to ten
(Fall apart) and start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
Hold your breath and count to ten
(Fall apart) and start again
start again start again...

Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems to last for ages (x2)

Hold your breath and count to ten
(Fall apart) and start again
 Hold your breath and count to ten
Start Again start again
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 ? (x2)
      

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflaque
Beware this troubled world
And watch out for earthquakes
Always stays the same
Goodbye to open sores
To broken set of four
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disentegrated
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 futhermore
You know we miss her
We fuckin miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disentegrated
The fear of growin old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growin old

We had it all
Thought we tried
It's gone (x2)

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 (x5)

SLEEPING WITH GHOSTS

The sea's evaporated
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
To 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 (x4)

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 fatefull day

See you at the bitter end (x4)

"From the time we intercepted...feels more like suicide"

See you at the bitter end (x4)

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
Dry your eyes
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
All is forgotten

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 (x8)

PLASTICINE

Beauty lies inside the eye
I've been loving you for dreaming
That doesn't satisfy the self-esteem
That's my plasticine

Beauty lies inside design
And every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't satisfy the self-esteem
That's my plasticine

Don't forget to beat it where you are (x4)

The only thing you can rely on
Is that you can't rely on anything
Don't go and sell your soul to self-esteem
Don't be plasticine

Don't forget to beat it where you are (x4)

Don't forget to beat it where you are (x4)

Where you are (x4)

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 clench 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

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

A whole life through

Bathing you clean
Your liquid blue

I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover

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

I'll be your father
I'll be your mother
I'll be your lover

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

Cause I'm cursed with second sight so
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 (x4)

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 (x5)

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
