Kinky Machine Bent Lyrics
1.10 Second Bionic Man

I struggle with my shoelace
As my temples pulsate
You lie in your dressing gown
Don't put that cigarette out

I know it wasn't much fun
But please don't tell anyone
I know what i am

10 second bionic man
Over before it began
10 second bionic man
Over before it began

I thought that this was my moment
On the threadbare shag pile
My clumsiness trips me over
A nervous laugh, guilty smiles

I know it wasn't much fun
But please don't tell anyone
I know what i am

10 second bionic man
Over before it began
10 second bionic man
Over before it began

10 second bionic man
10 second bionic man
And it's all over before it began

The night comes through your window
A dull street light orange glow
My head hurt on your pillow
I wanna get up, get dressed and go home

I know it wasn't much fun
But please don't tell anyone
I know what i am

10 second bionic man
Over before it began
10 second bionic man
Over before it began


2.Alsatians

Alsatians alison
???
Somebody take her home
She's barking at strangers
Head ???
With washing up fingers
Gold teeth and singalongs
???

Every night it's just the same
I don't wanna know your name
I don't wanna see you again
Alsatians alison
Alsatians alison

Beer breath smells like the truth
Words i should've swallowed
Put my head in the noose
I left and they followed

They didn't wanna know my name
I hope i don't see them again
My memory's a bloody stain
Alsatians alison
Alsatians alison

Alsatians
Alsatians
Alsatians

I spilt a drink or two
Without enough sorrow
Break??? on my tooth
If my pockets hollow

They didn't wanna know my name
I hope i don't see them again
My memory's a bloody stain
Alsatians alison
Alsatians alison
Alsatians alison

Alsatians
Alsatians
Alsatians

Alsatians alison
????dog??
Somebody take her home
She's barking at strangers
Beer breath smells like the truth
Words i should've swallowed
Put my head in the noose
I left and they followed


3.Chemical Lullaby

Chemical lullaby
I'm on your suicide
With kamikaze eyes
Sing me to sleep tonight

My chemical lullaby
I always be safe inside
Chemical lullaby
I wanna sleep with you tonight

When i am gone away
You can say what you wanna say
I'm dumb and i'm paranoid
A cool man a jealous boy

My chemical lullaby
I always be safe inside
Chemical lullaby
I wanna sleep with you tonight

Lullaby
There's a place where i can hide
Chemical lullaby
I wanna sleep with you tonight

Chemical lullaby
My emotional alibi
I want you to put me down
And dig my head in the ground

My chemical lullaby
I always be safe inside
Chemical lullaby
I wanna sleep with you tonight
Chemical lullaby
I always be safe inside
Chemical lullaby
I wanna sleep with you tonight


4.Christopher

You never really looked certain
In a rented wedding suit from burton's;
You kicked a football into the net curtains
And broke your mother's heart.
You used to be the family favourite
But now you keep on keeping up the neighbours
Selling e's to all the cheesy quavers
The smiths died with tom jones

Colchester christopher,
Sweetness and vinegar,
Gold rings and new trainers to
Grey borstal pullover;

Always someone getting on your nerves,
Making jokes you shouldn't have overheard
There's always someone asking to get hurt
With your snooker stick

Colchester christopher
Sweetness and vinegar
Gold rings and new trainers to
Grey borstal pullover

Christopher from colchester
Time off for good behaviour
Christopher from colchester
Time off for good behaviour

Colchester christopher
Sweetness and vinegar
Gold rings and new trainers to
Grey borstal pullover

Christopher from colchester
Time off for good behaviour
Christopher from colchester
Time off for good behaviour

Christopher from colchester
Time off for good behaviour
Christopher from colchester
Was a born f-f-f-failure

Christopher from colchester
Time off for good behaviour
Christopher from colchester
Was a born f-f-f-failure

Christopher...


5.Cut It Down

Goodbye to aliens goodbye
It's only right to wonder why
Hello to mr. muscleman
Bulldog tattoos and masterplans

When i was asleep i always had a dream
We took an axe to the museum
And cut it down
We cut it down

The streets are full the shops are shut
And all the windows boarded up
The demolition's underway
Tomorrow just like yesterday

When i was asleep i always had a dream
We took an axe to the museum
And cut it down
We broke the ground
We cut it down

Goodbye to aliens goodbye
It's only right to wonder why

When i was asleep i always had a dream
We took an axe to the museum
And cut it down
We cut it down
We cut it down
And broke the ground


6.Dolly Mixture Kid

I can't stand straight
All over the place
Sour milk face
I'm visiting space a million light years from here
Look in the mirror
What did you see
You saw the same girl
It's not the same world that it used to be

You got nothing to say
But you're happy anyway

Dolly mixture kid
???
Such a pretty dress for a dirty fix
???
From all of those kicks
Dolly mixture kid

You wanna go out
But you can't face it
Gravity pulls and my head is full
I just can't sit still

I've got nothing to say
But i'm happy anyway

Dolly mixture kid
???
Such a pretty dress for a dirty fix
???
From all of those kicks
Dolly mixture kid

???
???
Another billion braincells
Can't count???

I can't stand straight
All over the place
Sour milk face
I'm visiting space a million light years from here

I've got nothing to say
But i'm happy anyway

Dolly mixture kid
???
Such a pretty dress
For a dirty fix
???
From all of those kicks
Dolly mixture kid

Such a pretty dress for a dirty fix
My head's still aching from all of those kicks

Dolly mixture kid
???
Such a pretty dress
For a dirty fix
My head's still aching from all of those kicks
???
Dolly mixture kid


7.Gooseberry Fool

He said he'd take you for a joyride
In the backseat of his car
I know you say you never realised
He'd ever try to go so far

Gooseberry fool how could you be so sweet
In a world so cruel
He's had enough to drink and he's sick of you
Envy would turn you green if you weren't already so naive

The air is thick you couldn't breathe
And in a dark and empty street
He stained your party dress with dirty tricks
You should know better but you fell for it

Gooseberry fool how could you be so sweet
In a world so cruel
He's had enough to drink and he's sick of you
Envy would turn you green if you weren't already so naive

Gooseberry fool
You silly fool
Gooseberry fool

Gooseberry fool how could you be so sweet
In a world so cruel
He's had enough to drink and he's sick of you
Envy would turn you green if you weren't already so naive

Gooseberry fool how could you be so sweet
In a world so cruel
He's had enough to drink and he's sick of you
Envy would turn you green if you weren't already so naive


8.Last Song

???
Only because she takes my loose change
And down the twisted course
I find myself tied to the reins

This is the last song
This is the last song
I ever wanna sing
This is the last song
This is the last song
It's underneath my skin

I used to be so young
Thinking i was only just begun
Now my mind's never clean
I don't know what i'm doing here

This is the last song
This is the last song
I ever wanna sing
This is the last song
This is the last song
It's underneath my skin

Down by the ??? canal
The water's dark and heavenly

This is the last song
This is the last song
I ever wanna sing
This is the last song
This is the last song

This is the last song
This is the last song

Throw your money in
Throw your money in

This is the last song
The last song

Throw your money in


9.Lounge Dummy

I wanna be a lounge dummy
And watch the world from my settee
Cos i'm so cute, they're so ugly
Remote control makes my heart bleed
Religion and beauty queens
Come on down the refugees
Cos money grows on gameshow trees
And the soaps never get too dirty

I wanna be a lounge dummy
There's a channel that's always sunny
I just wanna be a lounge dummy
I wanna be a lounge dummy

Going out makes me uptight
I think i'll stay at home tonight
Dinner's in the microwave
From my???

I wanna be a lounge dummy
There's a channel that's always sunny
I just wanna say i'm home, honey
I wanna be a lounge dummy

Count to 10 and close my eyes
Promise you won't tell me lies
Count to 10 and close my eyes
Promise you won't tell me lies

I wanna be a lounge dummy
There's a channel that's always sunny
I just wanna say i'm home, honey
I wanna be a lounge dummy

Dummy
Dummy

Just wanna be a lounge dummy
I just wanna be a lounge dummy
Just wanna be a lounge dummy


10.Nosebleed

I don't need someone to calm me down
I won't read your letters
Does it take more than a bitter pill
To make you feel better
Too much pressure's gonna bust my drums
And you're always playing
And i keep crashing into everyone
Cos i can't stop swaying

Got a nosebleed
And i'm coming down
Like a nosebleed
And i'm coming down

Don't need myself i don't need anyone
To tell me where i'm going wrong
I can't seem to get my seatbelt on
And gravity is pulling strong
I just need to find some new airspace
Cos it's all too close now
And i can feel it crawling on my face
And i want to get out

Got a nosebleed
And i'm coming down
Like a nosebleed
And i'm coming down

Coming down
Coming down
Coming down
Coming

Got a nosebleed
And i'm coming down
Like a nosebleed
And i'm coming down
Got a nosebleed
And i'm coming down
Like a nosebleed
And i'm coming down
Coming down...


11.Pissing In The Snow

When the world looks like a christmas cake
I had to put my foot in it
Shadow boxing with the snowflakes
And shouting from the summit

I was only born a bastard once
It didn't stop me getting plastered once
And now that i'm the king
Of wrecking everything
I don't wanna go home
I wanna be alone
Pissing in the snow

I never meant to show my fists
Fighting talk's only pitbull shit
Now she can hang her stockings up
It doesn't take much to trip me up

I was only born a bastard once
It never stopped me getting plastered once
And now that i'm the king
Of wrecking everything
I know you wanna go
And i wanna be alone
Pissing in the snow

I was born a bastard once
That never stopped me getting plastered once
And now that i'm the king
Of wrecking everything
I don't wanna go home
I wanna be alone
Pissing in the snow
Pissing in the snow

Pissing in the snow
Pissing in the snow
Pissing in the snow
Pissing, pissing in the snow


12.Wet Cigarettes

A dank back room in kensal rise
Is alright in summertime
But as the daylight fades to gloom
I wanna leave the room

Faithless apologies
All broken promises
Choking on emptiness
That's all i ever get

Smoking wet cigarettes
Smoking wet cigarettes
Trying to smoke wet cigarettes

Two on a single mattress
A semi-detachedness
Electric blanket bedroom eyes
Won't keep us warm tonight

Faithless apologies
All broken promises
Choking on emptiness
That's all i ever get

Smoking wet cigarettes
Smoking wet cigarettes

As i turn my collar up
And run for the last bus
An ashtray full of ifs and burnt out butts
I know we said too much

Faithless apologies
All broken promises
Choking on emptiness
That's all i ever get

Smoking wet cigarettes...
