Polythene

Feeder Polythene Lyrics
1.20th Century Trip

Ocean blue
Deep + cool
Rain on me
Kiss the sea
Clouds in space
The earth rotates
Satellite ship
20th century trip...


2.Cement

It's funny how i watch the day go by
I'm sitting watching tv
Talk shows high
There's banging on the walls
My head aches
I'm drinking out the world
That i hate

I had a big car, new clothes everything
I've had a watch engraved in switzerland
Today i saw her buying a magazine
It's time to get myself some therapy

How do i stop this, how do i stop this
How do i stop this disease?

Chorus:
She's got a new dress on (i'm in cement)
Sits by her radio (i'm in cement)
She's got those x-ray eyes (i'm in cement)
Don't know which way to go

It's funny but i dream for yesterday
I'm blistered by the burns that life has made
I'm staring out behind the window shade
I see her face across the street again

I'm in quicksand sinking in again
I've got concrete shoes and i can't swim

How do i stop this, how do i stop this
How do i stop this disease?

Chorus

I don't know what to do
But i know that i must pull through
I can't keep watching you

How do i stop this, how do i stop this
How do i stop this disease?

Chorus


3.Change

Looking through my window shade, stare at streets that bare no
name
Now it all looks strange to me, yesterday seems like a dream
But i often try too hard, to break the routine of my day
Turn around see what i see, can't help wishing it could
Chorus:change, change again
Unchain myself - i will
See the faces in the crowd, busy streets they move around
Underground seems such a drag, waiting still and then we change
(rpt. chorus twice)
Ad lib - the more i see, the more it hurts, the more we change
it all seems worse
M8 - tomorrow, till tomrrow comes
As it drags me there i feel, a sense of urgency unveil
What's in store for us today, read the papers drift away
(chorus)
Change, we change again
We change again
Unchain myself - i will
Ad libs - oh how i hate to feel this way
The more i wait to see it change
The more i see the more it hurts
The more we change it all seems worse
Change


4.Crash

I put my best foot first and it got burnt
Communication always hurts
I've got myself so deep inside a hole
I taste the air go thin as i get old, as i get old
I don't think so

Chorus:
She's my hands, she's my hands
Picks me up when i crash down
Build me wings so i can glide
She's my novocaine ride

Pick up the pieces of my world
Glue thme together, i wish i could
I can't believe it as the picture fades
Just like a tv, but the sound remains
I don't think so, no, i don't think so

Chorus

Feel it as i shake
Shatter illusions fade
Taste my bitter tears
Cut my heart with shears

I don't think so, i don't think so

Chorus


5.Descend

Sitting back i only wish
Today will turn out fine
And wash away the stain
The poison in my eyes
What do you recommend?
I feel my life descending
I'm falling out of reach
Catch me as i bleed (again)

I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain

Chorus:
If i could be all by myself
I could be me
If you could see, live with my pain
The thoughts that i keep

I hate the way they are
Their patronising thoughts
Tried to get inside my head
Ask the question i have read
But one thing makes it hard
Feel so fragile as i cry
So confused yet so alive
So abused the system lied
You lied to me

I'm not insane
Can't reach the pain

Chorus

Alone ....alone

Hands appeared around my neck
Felt so hard to breathe i stared
As my focus turned to haze
I could see them

I'm not insane
Can't stand the pain

Chorus


6.Forgive

Shoot holes in me, then you watch me as i bleed
Sticks, sticks and stones, break my bones as i speak
Leave me to burn, as i melt in my pain
Watch as i drown, in the tears we have made
Chorus:cause we've got to forgive
We've got to forget
Things are changing at last
I hope for the best
But i don't understand, i'm just a man
I'm still trying to see
Love, love is hate, can't seperate how it is
Deep in a grave, can't pretend, when it's real
(chorus)
See a way, move away, see a way, will i ever be saved for this,
will i ever be clean
Shoot holes in me, then you watch me as i bleed
Sticks, sticks and stones, break my bones as i speak
Leave me to burn, as i melt in my pain
Watch as i drown, in the tears we have made
(rpt. chorus twice)
I wish for the best, i wish for the best
Cause i've got to forgive,
We've got to forget.


7.High

Guess i'm stuck in a dream
Surrounded by coloured leaves on the ground
As i stare at the trees
I see one fall down on my hand
As i start to explore
I can't ignore a man
He turns his head around
His face was all worn by the sun

Chorus:
I'm going out for a while
So i can get high with my friends
I will
I'm going out for a while
Don't wait up cos i won't be home
Today

Drifting down a road
Losing myself in a dream
Feel my hands getting cold
Sat in a boat on a lake

Chorus

Climbing up trying my best
As i sink
Climbing up trying my best
As i sink again

Lying back on the floor
Reaching up high into space
See myself in a glass
I'm counting the lines on my face
Again
Counting the lines on my face
Again

Chorus 2x

Today, today, today, today, etc. (to end)


8.My Perfect Day

Got this dagger in my back
The blade inside me burning
Change these colours in my head
Turn to face the real thing

So what about me, what i want to be
What about me, hear me when i speak
I can't take it, i won't make it
I can't take it, i won't make it

Chorus:
But sometimes i feel it
Do you know how it is?
You wake up in the morning and everything fits
I'm still hoping tomorrow feels like this
My perfect day

Twist inside me feel it break
The rubber band keeps turning
See the tracks worn in my face
Hallucinate, i'm burning

So what about me, what i want to be
What about me, hear me when i speak
I can't take it, i won't make it

Chorus

I can't believe this anymore
I just don't see this anymore
I'm stepping out into the rain again

See my satellite in space
Sending back the weather
Try to find myself some space
Move on up the ladder

I can't take it, i won't make it
So what about me, what i want to be
What about me, hear me when i speak

Chorus 2x


9.Polythene Girl

I wish that i could touch the sky
Elevate me
I hope that i don't burn my eyes
As i drift free
Don't think that i can help myself
Guess it's true

Chorus:
Polythene, polythene girl
Wrap me up in a cellophane world
Polythene, polythene girl
I'm breaking the seal, never thought i would

I wish that i could heal myself
Addicted to you
Wrap me up in cotton wool
Just to feel new
Don't think that i can help myself
But it's true

Chorus

Suffocate, elevate
Suffocate, elevate
But it's true

Chorus


10.Radiation

Pull back my skin
Look deep within
Transparent grins
The more you kill me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Chorus:
There's radiation in my head
Can't you see i'm going mad
See the colour of my skin
Turning blue as i breathe in
There's radiation in my head

Suffer for life
My soul divide
I'm reaching high
But no one sees me
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Chorus

Get it out, get it out, get it out

Trapped in my shell
My fingers melt
All by myself, i'm all by myself
Just see how it is
Just see how it really is

Chorus 2x

You hear me breathe a little more
And see me walk into the storm
The more you give yourself away
The more it burns and breaks away


11.Stereo World

Staring at the ideal world
The bubble begins to break
Gazing at the ceiling cracks
The more the picture fades
It's just that i can't see
When i'm down like this
I just feel the weight
As i try to resist

Chorus:
It doesn't matter when i can dream away
Life in a stereo world
Something happens, i drift away

Floating out of sync again
Reaching for a cloud


12.Suffocate

Show it to me one way
I've got to see it all
Scientific radar
Reaching through the storm
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've got to keep on believing

Chorus:
It's time to give it everything
A world unite let us in
Hear me cry
Suffocate, let them die
A better life, say goodbye, hear me cry

I see everything silver and gold
Way up i'm reaching out
Clouds white as snow
There's got to be hope
As people move on
We've got to keep on believing

Chorus

Hear me cry
Why don't you hear me
Why don't they hear me
Suffocate
Let them die
A better life to say goodbye
Give, give enough i care


13.Tangerine

Tangerine, turning green
Cellophane, window pane
Socialise, paralysed
Plastic faces suck me dry, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine,
tangerine
Chorus:i know it's sad, life's just a piece of fruit
Touch down, new ground
Stop living on the moon - (repeat chorus)
Twenty eight, suffocate
Take a ride, see me fly
Detonate, feel it break
See myself disintegrate, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine,
tangerine
(chorus)
See it as i climb, the rain burns in my eyes
So catch me as i fall away, tangerine, tangerine, tangerine,
tangerine
(chorus)
I know it's sad...
