1.Nobody Like You

Inside it harbours,
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
I'd like to have more,
In control, I've lost it,
l'd like to try it again,
It warms inside me,
We're moving one step closer each time.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.

We fall, slow motion,
I taste your breath in my veins,
Like waves, vibrations,
It's coming up again,
Let me climb inside you,
Caress your fever tongue,
Spread my wings around you,
And we can slide.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.

I've always craved,
I tried to feed the hunger of an empty grave,
You've shown me secrets I've not forgotten,
l'll give you all the love that I take,
That I take.

Inside it harbours,
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
We're moving one step closer each time.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway.

There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh.


2.Great Things

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna know everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself.

All is fair in love and war,
Or so they say and so the saying goes,
But I've seen more broken hearts,
Than you can count the bullets in a war,
Oh what do I know,
There's gotta be so much I don't know.

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself.

What is life apart from memories or
Dreams and friendships we have known
And it smells childhood tales
Contemplating clothes that you have worn
Oh what do I know
There's gotta be so much I don't know

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself.

Never wanted many things,
Except the chance to learn,
From my mistakes
Funny how you never learn,
But know them when they,
Come around again,
Oh what do I know,
There's gotta be so much I don't know.

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself,
Something you do to yourself.


3.King of the Kerb

Sugar smile savvy,
The king of the kerb,
Got a temper in the style of a bomb,
Got his friends in his pocket,
Or safe behind bars,
All the local boys know what he's done.

He turns if on, he turns it on, he turns it on.
Same boys doing it for themselves,
There's somebody out there doing it for you,
Safe white you're paying out for your health,
They're the kings of the kerb,
And everybody knows what they're worth.

Sugar smile savvy,
The king of the kerb,
Keeps the order in this part of the town,
All the shadows in the alley,
The shapes at the bar,
Like to service him when he does the round.

He turns if on, he turns it on, he turns it on.
Same boys doing it for themselves,
There's somebody out there doing it for you,
Safe white you're paying out for your health,
They're the kings of the kerb,
And everybody knows what they're worth.

Safe from ham and safe from greed,
A little pretection is at that you need,
Safe from ham and safe from greed,
They're just a racket machine.

Same boys doing it for themselves,
There's somebody out there doing it for you,
Same boys doing it for themselves,
There's somebody out there doing it for you,
Same boys doing it for themselves,
There's somebody out there looking it for you,
Safe white you're paying out for your health,
They're the kings of the kerb,
They're the kings of the kerb,
They're the kings of the kerb,
And everybody knows what they're worth.


4.Something Hot in a Cold Country

You should have been a rambler,
A counterfeit gambler,
Would you steal the sunflowers for me,
I see you've been fighting,
With molotov writing,
They tried to drag you under, I see.

Did they try to tell you you're strange,
Did they try to push you away,
Hold on.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
TiII the world remembers your name,
Till you found of the sight what you see.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Something hot in a cold country.

Hold on to your spirits,
You're a pain, not a poet,
You're special and they know it,
They can see,
They throw a net that pins you to the ground,
Don't let their blindness bring you down,
Be stubborn and enioy it like me.

Did they try to tell you you're strange,
Did they try to push you away,
Hold on.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
TiII the world remembers your name,
Till you found the fire that you see.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Something hot in a cold country.

I won't see you falling,
Hold on Hold on.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Till you find out the sight that you see.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Something hot in a cold country.

I won't see you falling,
Hold on.


5.Four Letter Word

What a nice surprise,
Well have I spoilt your appetite,
And I told you once,
I told you once,
So let me tell you twice,
I wanted to say,
A toast to emotion,
Raise your glasses high,
And turn them this way,
A balance of hormones,
That make you feel like no one else,
Make you just the sane.

Here's to love, here's to hate,
Here's to all the things that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word,
Here's to fear, here's to fate,
Here's to all the things that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word oh oh.

It's coming loud and clear,
God I fancy you my dear,
Well I might be wrong,
I might be wrong,
I might need glasses all along,
My deepest emotions,
Nothing more than chemical equations,
Symphonies of stimulants,
Swimming round in a beating gland,
Really caused a traffic jam.

Here's to love, here's to hate,
Here's to everything that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word,
Here's to fear, here's to fate,
Here's to all the things that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word,
Here's to love, here's to hate,
Here's to everything that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word.


6.Pantyhose and Roses

She leaves her brains at the door,
She drops her guts on the floor,
She only listens out for everyday noises,
She very calmly ignores,
The littie things she abhors,
She's made her mind up to be tidy.

It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change.

He keeps his fingernails neat,
He cleans the car once a week,
He keeps an eye out for resistitle bargains,
But everynight in his sleep,
He dreams of sex on the street,
He longs for pantyhose and roses.

It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It will change, it could never,
It could change, change,
Oh!.

All these years, all this time,
Learn to suffer, compromise,
Turn away, tolerate,
Learn to suffer what you hate.

And it could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It will change, it could never,
It could change, change.

You got me walking alone,
You got me walking alone,
You got me walking alone,
You got me walking alone.


7.In the Year

In the year when your bicycle broke,
You were crying in the yard,
But the world was a glorious game,
New adventures stole your heart.

It will come, it will go,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to.

In the year when the future was lost,
You were fighting in the class,
Headed west with your wits and snarl,
Left your parents in the past,
'78 was the year you explored,
Tore your clothes and shaved your head,
Joined a band with a broken down van,
Thought your life was really swell.

It will come, it will go,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to,
You only full for what you really want to.

Save it all, save it all,
Save it all and want your tears away,
Save it all, save it all,
Save it all and want those tears,
It has gone, it has gone,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to.


8.Car Fiction

In a taxi chasing for the sun,
All around us strangers everyone,
With no hope for what they hope for,
We could drive all of our tears away.

Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho.

In a taxi ride that ends too soon,
The city skyline tries to kick the moon,
We have no time for what they wait for,
We can drive all of our tears away.

Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho.

You and I against the walled in generation,
You and I could kick the walls away,
We have no time for what they wait for,
We can run fast we can run far.

Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho.


9.Dark Therapy

High above the roof tops,
Higher than the milky way,
Slipping through the hour glass,
Shooting up the desert plain,
You are one life older than before,
But you can't stop the chill,
Now you're falling in slow motion,
Though the air is still.

If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.

You are on the outside,
Hands upon the window sill,
I am on the inside,
Carving up the hunters kill.

If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.

Cruising on a missile,
Cruising on a desert plain,
Wading through a minefield,
Wading through the monsoon rain,
Surfing on an oilspill,
Surfing on a perfect wave,
Porn upon the airwaves,
Rituals of the mating game.

If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.


10.Natural Animal

In and out of prison,
Sitting in a pit of a cell,
Lick the blood of the wall,
Razor blade love letter hell,
So you left me there,
Didn't care that they'd break down the door,
Were you really late,
Did you run away,
Left me to be caught.

Where are you now?,
Where are you now?,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine.

In and out of trouble,
Pushed in a school full of fools,
I'm a natural animal,
Bent by the rules,
You know what I've done,
It's in everyone,
Lurking in the cold,
And you taught me all that I've ever known,
Why let me go?.

Where are you now?,
Where are you now?,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine.

Save the life of my own,
Save the life of my own,
Where are you now?,
Where are you now?.


11.Go Away

Here it comes the fools parade,
Another clueless masquerade,
And they're way too slow,
A waste of space,
Yes they're way too slow,
Get out of the way.

Go away,
In my way,
Go away,
In the way oh.

Here we go a suckers ride,
Hearts and minds are paralyzed,
And they're way too stupid,
They'll be just fine,
Yes they're way too stupid,
A waste of time,
Everybody's looking for something,
Everybody's looking for clues,
And they're way too late,
They missed the news,
And they think they're great,
With their fucked up points of view.

Go away,
In my way,
Go away,
In the way oh.

All because you thought for yourself now,
Naughty girl you thought for yourself now.

Go away,
Go away.


12.Worms and Angels

Here and now,
We are alone,
Time she will hold her breath,
Only the worms and angels,
Know our names,
But they have not found us,
Although they surround us,
I feel the distance closing.

Come along,
For you and I know,
We've lived through the centuries,
We've ridden the darkest horses,
All our lives,
We hunted our enemies,
We fought with a fallacy,
It's time we were all God's children.

Far away,
The galaxies soar,
The stars are exploding still,
I wish we could fly away,
Fly away.

Here and now,
For you and I know,
True love is deathless,
These crumbling days are ending,
By my side,
Let's walk in the garden,
We'll sleep in the ivy,
We'll be with the worms and angels.
