Only Revolutions

Biffy Clyro Only Revolutions Lyrics
1.The Captain

Angels fall to the floor
Like they would if I was Captain
Silver children, she roared
I'm not the son of God

Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Liars and lovers combine tonight
We're gonna make a scene

Somebody help me sing, whoa
Somebody help me sing, whoa

Help me Captain of our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I cannot ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

I gave birth to a fire
It's like it's features were burning
I'm in control
I am the son of God

Somebody help me sing
Can anybody hear me?
Ride up your shoulders one final time
We're gonna have a ball

Somebody help me sing, whoa
Somebody help me sing, whoa

Help me Captain of our crippled disguises
I won't show what's underneath
It's time for surprises
I can't climb up your ladder
I cannot ride your horse
I've swallowed half an hourglass
So now the landscape is swollen up

Let's lock death away...


2.That Golden Rule

Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head

We made love at the side of the road
Reflex, you better know this flows fast
This river is particularly sinister
Close your eyes and take my hand

I wanna scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Love that golden rule, that golden rule
Need that golden rule, that golden rule
Secrets are the truth, they are the truth
We need that silver rule, that silver rule

Face to face with the ball and chain
I'll poke my head up till its red
I tell my secrets and you took my pain
About a broken heart and I will do it again

Son of Henry, I'm the first in line
To the throne, smell my mustard gas
I slash swords through your wooden spine
Well it cut my heart and it blew my head

I want to scream one last death medley
I am looking for a reason to secure a forward motion

Love that golden rule, that golden rule
Need that golden rule, that golden rule
Secrets are the truth, they are the truth
We need that silver rule, that silver rule


3.Bubbles

Well how's your view of things today?
Glad to fade away
The sinners sin but aren't aware
Our fables take us everywhere
I can't keep up with you
I can't keep up

I can't compete with history
We'll feel alive but ??
The misery must stay inside
Look at our homes, look at our lives
In control of the morning
In control of the sea

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
She's down by the river
In her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
And she's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner
She'll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins)
She'll wash away your sins (Wash away your sins)
She'll wash away your sins and go home

I only once upset my kin
Accused him of a moral slip
Well he came back and claimed the change
I know his life's the same again
I can't ask him again
I should let it go

You are creating all the bubbles at night
I'm chasing round trying to pop them all the time
We don't need to trust a single word they say
You are creating all the bubbles at play

There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
She's down by the river
In her own creepy world there's a girl, there's a girl
She's down by the river
It's time to consider
That baby is a sinner
There's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl, there's a girl
(Wash away your sins, wash away your sins)
She's down by the river


4.God & Satan

I talk to god as much
As I talk to satan
'Cause I wanna hear both sides
Does that make me cynical,
There are no miracles and
This is no miraculous life
I savour hate as much as I crave love
Because I'm just a twisted guy
Is this the pinnacle, Is this the pinnacle
The pinnacle of being alive?
Now I see the light

Well I look up to god
But I see trouble
'Cause this ain't a miracle
I just want to take my chance
To live through a miracle

I know for certain that someone
Is watching but is it from up or down?
I make you miserable you stick with me
Although you know I'm gonna
Ruin your life

I talk to god as much
As I talk to satan
'Cause I wanna hear both sides
Does that make me cynical,
There are no miracles and
This is no miraculous life
We walk into the tide

Well I look up to god
But I see trouble
'Cause this ain't a miracle
I just want to take my chance
To live through a miracle

When the see-saw snaps and splinters your hand
Don't come crying to me
I'll only see your good side
And believe it's a miracle, a miracle

I slap the water and watch the fish dance
To the ripples of us
We're just dull blue duds
Blinking eyes encased in rust
This ain't a miracle
This ain't a miracle
This ain't a miracle
This ain't a miracle
Ooohhh


5.Born On A Horse

I pronounce it aluminium,
'Cause there's an I next to the U and M
Now write it down slowly and read it out fast
She's got eyes, preposterous eyes
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before

I've been counting on the wrong things
To make life feel alright
You could be my acid queen
Until the end of time

'Cause you can have it all
You're stuck in the middle
Raise them one and all
I was born on a horse thats all

I like to think I'm just a thouroughbred
In all but name and with no horses flesh
We're galloping slowly through this broken glass
She's got hooves, preposterous hooves
I've never had a lover who's my sister or my brother before

I've been counting on the wrong things
To make life feel alright
You could be my acid queen
Until the end of time

'Cause you can have it all
You're stuck in the middle
Raise them one and all
I was born on a horse thats all

'Cause you can have it all
You're stuck in the middle
Raise them one and all
I was born on a horse thats all


6.Mountains

I took a bite out of a mountain range,
Thought my teeth would break, the mountain did...
Let's go, I want to go
All the way to the horizon...

I took a drink out of the ocean and
I'm treading water there before I drown
Let's dive, I want to dive
To the bottom of the ocean

Took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't go there without you.
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't leave here without you.

I am a mountain.
I am the sea.
You can't take that away from me...
I am a mountain.
I am the sea.
You can't take that away from me...

'Cause you tear us apart,
with all the things you don't like,
You can't understand
that I won't leave 'til we're finished here,
and then you'll find out
Where it all went wrong...

I wrote a note to the jungle and,
They wrote me back that I was never crowned...
King of the jungle, so there's an end to my horizon...

Took a ride, I took a ride,
I wouldn't go there without you.
Let's take a ride, we'll take a ride,
I wouldn't leave here without you

I am a mountain.
I am the sea.
You can't take that away from me...
I am a mountain.
I am the sea.

'Cause you tear us apart,
with all the things you don't like
You can't understand
that I won't leave 'til we're finished here,
and then you'll find out
Where it all went wrong...

Nothing lasts forever, except you and me.
You are my mountain, you are my sea...
Love can last forever, between you and me.
You are my mountain, you are my sea...

I am a mountain...
I am the sea...
You can't take that away from me.
I am a mountain...
I am the sea...
I am a mountain...
I am the sea...


7.Shock Shock

Well, you scratch and you scratch 'til your face comes away
Replaced by a hole a vortex just waiting to play
I commend your violence

Well, I enter a cave with my wrists sticking out
The soles of my feet worn down to a dusty mess
I'll stay numb to these accidents

Well, you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about
Maintain my silence

You're a shame to your dad 'cause you're killing his days
Irresponsible life you've only yourself to blame
Maintain your friendliness

Well, you talk and you talk like you're trying to shock me
I don't even know what the fuck we're still arguing about
Maintain my silence

You're wondering why you're exhausted, exhausted
From using these lies, I'm sure you'll regress again
Maintain your silence

I've been crippled by shock, shocked again
I'll continue to douse your violence
With kisses of hate and silence
I've been crippled by shock
Shock, shock, shock, shock, shock


8.Many Of Horror

You say you love you boy
I know you lie
I trust you all the same
I don't know why

'Cause when my back is turned
My bruises shine
Our broken fairytale
So hard to hide

I still believe it's you and me 'til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise I know your worth it
When you hit me hit me hard

Sitting in a wishing hole
Hoping it stays dry
Feet cast in solid stone
I've got Gilligan's eyes

I still believe it's you and me 'til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise I know your worth it
When you hit me hit me hard

You said love was letting us go against what
Our future is for...
Many of horror
Our future's for many of horror

I still believe it's you and me 'til the end of time

When we collide we come together
If we don't we'll always be apart
I'll take a bruise I know your worth it
When you hit me hit me hard


9.Booooom,Blast & Ruin

I've had enough
You burn the bridge I'll cut the boat in half
Control
I've said enough
You keep the secrets I know you'll never spill
Sold

Boom, blast and ruin girl
Causes distraction
You're rooted in hell

I can't surprise you girl
The truth is in motion
You cover it well
But you're praying for some action so you won't realise
You used to be wrong, I used to be right

I flick the switch
I wake up in a copse of sweat and tears
Soaked
I swallow truths
We fit like ice cream on an open wound
It soothes

Sink like cathedrals girl
Into the ocean
We rise to the sun

I can't surprise you girl
The truth is in motion
You cover it well
But you're praying for some action so you won't realise
You used to be wrong, I used to be right

Boom, blast and ruin girl
Causes distraction
You're rooted in hell

I can't surprise you girl
The truth is in motion
You cover it well
But you're praying for some action so you won't realise
You used to be wrong, I used to be right
You used to be wrong, I used to be right


10.Cloud Of Stink

Dance if you wanna dance, if you wanna sweat
Sweat if you wanna smell, go do it alone
Fuck if you wanna fuck, if you wanna cum
Sleep if you wanna sleep, talk more in the morn

Look up to the sky, is it still good to feel alive?
Well, I can dance on top of a hurricane

This combination will make its way round
Congratulations on marrying this clown

Swing if you wanna swing, hanging on a rope
Burn if you wanna burn, do it on your own
Cry if you wanna cry, acknowledge your heart
Wish if you wanna wish, the only way is up

Blame it on the world, visit them one and all
You have to comprehend what your heart says

This combination will make its way round
Congratulations on marrying this clown

There's a black mold on
My frazzled lungs, it whistles
My throat is gone, I'm still holding on
But I don't have long, no I don't have long

'Cause it goes on and on and on and on
It whistles, let go, let go
'Cause it goes on and on and on and on
It whistles, let go, let go

Dance if you wanna dance, if you wanna sweat
Sweat if you wanna smell, go do it alone
Fuck if you wanna fuck, if you wanna cum
Sleep if you wanna sleep, talk more in the morn


11.Know Your Quarry

When I was young, I first encountered my crippled lungs;
I felt them burn, and cursed them ever since.
I was turning blue, in a match right in front of you,
and I slithered to the floor, hope I score some more.

I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
Go crazy in the evening if we sail up right.
Love is a shadow, in the brightness it dies;

because tonight, we raise the sun,
and we shine it over everyone.
And if we won a crash oh hush,
our lips should kiss each other so;
I just want to feel your body,
I want you to know your quarry.

you can see the world looking down from a different universe,
can we save every single one of them, the only half I've hands.
my father cradled us; we're bright blue and we're covered in
blood,
we staggered through the door, trouble's taken score.

I won't go where the sun doesn't shine
go crazy in the evening if we sail up right.
Love is a shadow, in the brightness it dies;

because tonight, we raise the sun,
and we shine it over everyone.
And if we won a crash oh hush,
our lips should kiss each other so;
I just want to feel your body,
I want you to know your quarry.

I just want to, feel your body;
I want you to, know your quarry.

I just want to, feel your body;
I want you to, know your quarry.


12.Whorses

Who's the hippy now?
I cut it off to make you proud
Abuse my limbs until the sun goes down
I don't wanna be alone again

Got Jesus' autograph
No handshake or pat on the ass
His saving grace was talking fast
I don't wanna be bored again
Am I ready to take that chance?
Put my faith in someone else

Let's use this dynamite
We're only making noises

I'll make the brightness yours
So we can deny who we are
I love you but not today
The darkness fell like a shout
Am I ready to take that chance?
Put my faith in someone else

Let's use this dynamite
We're only making noises

Together we stand
We're at the bottom of the cove
It looked like rain but it felt like snow
Because wherever we stand
We're at the bottom of the hole
We'll dig our way out but we'll still say no

The wound is king and how
His whorses turn they make him proud
His vision's clipped like wings and crowns
Let's use this photograph
He's never even had the chance
To believe in something else

Let's use this dynamite
We're only making noises
We want to affect a change
With voice and electrical noises

Together we stand
We're at the bottom of the cove
It looked like rain but it felt like snow
Because wherever we stand
We're at the bottom of the hole
We'll dig our way out but we'll still say no

We want to affect a change
With voice and electrical noises

Wherever we crash we're gonna blame it on the old
Unique to the touch and crippled to the bone
However we stand they'll be swinging from the ropes
Unfinished and young or unhappy and old
