Sulk 12. Street Spirit 1 Planet TelexYou can force it but it will not comeYou can taste it but it will not form You can crush it but its always here You can crush it but its 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? 2 The BendsWhere 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? And 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 And 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 And 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 And I wish it was the sixties I wish I could be happy I wish I wish I wish that something would happen I want to live and breath I want to be part of the human race 3 High And DryTwo 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 insides 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 on you You will be the one screaming out Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry It's the best thing you ever had. 4 Fake Plastic TreesHer green plastic wateringcanFor her fake chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she brought 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 polystyrene man Who just crumbles and burns He used to surgery For girls in the eighties But gravity always wins, And it wears him out. She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run, And it wears me out. If I could be who you wanted all the time... 5 BonesI don't want to be crippled and crackedShoulders wrists 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 painkillers 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 6 (Nice Dream)They love me like I was a brotherThey 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 But she's out with Her answerphone She says she would love to come help but The sea would Electrocute us all. Nice dream. If you think that you're strong enough If you think you belong enough. Nice dream. 7 JustCan't get the stink offHe'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 You do it to yourself You do And that's what really hurts Is you do it to yourself Just you You and no-one else You do it to yourself Don't get my sympathy Hanging out the 15th floor You've changed the locks 3 times He still comes reeling through the door And soon he'll get to you Teach you how to get to purest hell You do it to yourself You do And that's what really hurts Is you do it to yourself Just you You and no-one else You do it to yourself 8 My Iron LungFaith, you're driving me awayYou do it everyday You don't mean it But it hurts like hell My brain says I'm receiving pain A lack of oxygen From my life support My iron lung We're too young to fall asleep Too cynical to speak We are loosing it, Can't you tell? We scratch our eternal itch Our twentieth century bitch And we are grateful for Our iron lung 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 9 Bullet Proof... I Wish I WasLimb by limb and tooth by toothTearing up inside of me Every day, every hour 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 and bullet proof 10 Black StarI get home from workAnd 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 its 58 hours since that I last slept with you What are we coming to? I just don't know any more. Blame it on the black star Blame it on the falling sky Blame it on the satellite that beams me home. I get on the train and I just stand about Now that I don't think 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 Blame it on the black star Blame it on the falling sky Blame it on the satellite that beams me home. 11 SulkYou bite through the big wallThe 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 God rest your soul When the loving comes And we've already 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. Sometimes you sulk Sometimes you burn God rest your soul When the loving comes And we've already gone Just like your dad You'll never change 12 Street Spirit (Fade Out)Rows of houses all bearing down on meI can feel their blue hands touching me All these things in all positions All these things will one day take control And fade out again and fade out This machine will will not communicate These thoughts and the strain I am under Be a world child, form a circle 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 its beady eyes All these things into fruition All these things we'll one day swallow whole And fade out again and fade out again Immerse your soul in love |
