Ned's Atomic Dustbin Godfodder Lyrics
1.Throwing Things

i'm not saying this for the sake if it
i'll take so much and then i'll have to quit
i know how i feel
i know how i feel
the words don't fit
i can't speak
i can't speak
i think i've lost the art of conversation
things are looking bleak
please go easy on me
i don't know what's wrong with me
please be gentle with me
and take it easy
take it easy, take it easy
take it out on me
did i hear you right
did i hear you wrong
did i miss something
tell me who's the sleeping partner
who's the sleeping partner here?
cause you don't speak
and i don't speak,
we never seem to.....speak
i think you're deaf,
i think you're dumb,
you tell me
now you're tying up my heart strings
i've got no halo, got no wings
we've got verbal constipation
let's start throwing things


2.Less Than Useful

i don't belive what i'm thinking
i'm less than useful
i could take if from someone else
but even i think it's truthful
i need something my own size
something that fits me well
spend so long being serious
when someone could have died for less
do you want me to smile?
i'll try
you say i must be in a mess
well let me guess what you suggest
you want me to smile
well i'll try
do you want me to smile?
yes, i see what you're saying
i'm still pretty youthful
i can take it from someone like you
you've still got your hands full
but i need someone my own size
someone that fits me well
if you don't mind
i'll keep my thougts to myself
if you don't mind
you can do the other
so you want me to find a reason
find a reason
if you don't find a reason why


3.Selfish

be careful, you might hear something
you don't want to hear
be careful you might say something
that you really mean
you say 'take things easy,
go and have some fun'
but my mind is hazy
about times i've spent alone
so be careful, you might feel something
you don't want to feel
be careful, you might learn something
you don't want to know
i'll take things steady
go on and be alone
i hope your head's aching
from having too much fun
if i don't know what's cool
will you call me a loser?
if i don't bend the rules
will i stay a loser?
the selfish gene in me has finally come into being
he's teaching me how to be mean
but that's a sorry, sorry state to be in
stop yawning, stop yearning
and wake up
what you wanna do is wake up


4.What Gives My Son?

far be it for me to say you're loose son
for be it for me to say you're no one
i've heard your excuse, i've heard your excuses,
every one
you don't know what's going on
you don't know what's going on
my son
far be it for me to say you're brain dead
it might help if you get your ass out of bed
it twists me inside to see your girlfriend's backside
she get tongue-tied and run
you're my son, i'm older than you,
you can't be a man too
your hair's too long
get out of my home
papa, growing old
you're growing cold
you went to far
you crashed my car
i'm in a rage
get off of that stage....
o.k.


5.Your Complex

don't go telling me it's gone wrong,
don't go telling me on the phone
'cause the only voice i hear is my own
so don't go telling me it's gone wrong
that don't rub with me
i know better
don't go telling me it's gone wrong
and for christ's sake
oh, for christ's sake not on the phone
'cause the only voice you'll hear is your own
so don't go telling me on the phone
that don't rub with me
i know better
and it's not so complicated
it's not so complicated, is it?
there's a wire of tension
between you and me
why can't we disagree to agree?


6.Cut Up

did you think if you shout you can sort it all out
you can't get your face from the blame
you're no wiser even know, you wish you knew why
but you're no wiser even now
they know that you're cut up
so put up or shut up
she makes you feel free and that's how it should be
you've got all this time on your hands
and yes, you want her
you feel stronger even now
and i guess you know why
yes you want her, you feel stronger, even now
they know that you're cut up
but i told you to shut up


7.Grey Cell Green

when your desire has been found,
you'll be running far away
you're telling me it's in the trees, in the trees
it's not, it's inside me
you're telling me it's on the ground, all around
it's not, it's inside me
you're telling me it's in disguise, well use your eyes
it's not, it's inside me
you're telling me it's mother earth, some sign of birth
it's not, it's inside me
the grey sells green only if the green cell's grey
the grey cell's green only if the green sells grey


8.Capital Letters

we both know i need this too much
only i know that it's got to stop
but i can't keepy my anger up
'change it, it's your job,
change it, it's your job'
now i'm stuck
i'm stuck
she'll break some hearts
when she grows up
she'll break some hearts
when she owns up
mine is one
when she looks at me
in that tone of voice
she don't need to make a noise
i can read her thoughts
in capital letters
i've lost her since i've met her


9.Until You Find Out

all you need to is catch me
when i'm back on the real scene
and all the things that i don't do
just make me laugh, 'cause they irritate you
and what you don't know
ain't gonna hurt you
while you don't know
and what you can't see
ain't gonna kill you
until you find out
i think we're all tarred with the same brush
it's not so easy to get in between us,
i think we're tired of the same things
like being locked out when the phone rings


10.Happy

feeling so frustrated
even antiquated
'cause you can't update me
if i'm overrated
you fly off the handle
wait till i'm not there
if you will fly off the handle
wait till i'm not there
'cause i will talk
maybe you will listen
but you won't hear a single
word i say
i will talk
you will listen
we have a house where
i'm in your hair
i'll go spare
and leave you happy
there


11.Nothing Like

i don't know what you're thinking
when you fail to see things are at an end
you hate to see me start again
and you don't seem nothing like my friend
well you just watch me
'cause you cannot stop me
i don't deny you're in good health
but i do deny that i've found wealth
you look like a fool, but who can tell,
you don't look nothing like yourself


12.Kill Your Television

she said, she said
'you don't know shit,
because you've never been there'
she turned upon him,
took him by the hair
spun him round about,
laughing as he fell about,
sat down for a drink
in her father's favourite chair
kill your television


13.You

you
you trainee trooper
with your ten a side
trendy tosh
i bet you think now
don't you
you
your mom
your dad
your uncle
and his fishpond
your pet chinchilla
i bet you think now
don't you
