This Is A Fix

The Automatic This Is A Fix Lyrics
1.Responsible Citizen

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

I'm sick of government warnings
That tell me to watch my intake
I know my limits and I know
That everyone makes mistakes

And I'll tell you I'm fine, tell you I'm fine
I'll tell you when I've had enough
I can't take it too hard
I want every last drop going to my head

I'm going out of my way, to go out of my
Mind going out of my way
I'm going out of my way, to go out of my
Mind going out of my way

I don't want trouble or bad times
I'm a responsible citizen
But now and then, some people spoil it for
Everybody else

Some people should not partake
Sometimes it's a big mistake
But I have no say, you know it's in control of
In control of myself

I'm going out of my way, to go out of my
Mind going out of my way
I'm going out of my way, to go out of my
Mind going out of my way

And I'll tell you I'm fine, tell you I'm fine
I'll tell you when I've had enough
I can't take it too hard
I want every last drop going to my head

So far, too far gone
So far, too far gone

So much better than this morning
I feel so much better than this morning
I feel so much better than this morning
Than this morning

It's in control of my, in control of myself
It's in control of my, in control of myself
It's in control of my, in control of myself
It's in control of my, in control of myself

I'm going out of my way, to go out of my
Mind going out of my way
I'm going out of my way, to go out of my
Mind going out of my way

And I'll tell you I'm fine, tell you I'm fine
I'll tell you when I've had enough
I can't take it too hard
I want every last drop going to my head


2.Accessories

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

On a scale of one to ten, what number are you again?
I've got a preoccupation with quantifying
Every part of a human being, every part and what it means
And turning it into a commodity

Where do I connect with this machine?
We have become accessories
Make your connections in flesh and blood
We have become accessories

In a hundred words or less tell me about yourself
It's so easy to know you when you're packaged on a shelf
And we're joined at the fingertips
Bye zeros and ones we'll be sold to the highest bid

What happens when the power goes out?
What happens when we're disconnected?
What happens when the power goes out?
What happens when we're disconnected?

Where do I connect with this machine?
We have become accessories
Make your connections in flesh and blood
We have become accessories

What happens when the power goes out?
What happens when the power goes out?

Where do I connect with this machine?
We have become accessories
Make your connections in flesh and blood
We have become accessories


3.Magazines

Tearing out pages from your only book
Circle the bold print, it's where you have to look
I could try but I wouldn't get too far
Tearing out pages, I wouldn't get that far

Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out
Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out

If you see three fingers, read between the lines
It's what I thought you were good at, but you do what you like
I could try but I wouldn't get too far
Making holes in pictures, tearing words apart

Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out
Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out

Let me spell it out, let me spell it

Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out
Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out
Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out
Magazines, tearing pieces of me
They just fall out, they just fall out


4.This Ship

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

Strange things on the ocean floor
Down where there is no light
No complications, just a simple kind of life

Less women, night time, hard to know where I stand
With two feet on dry land
As treacherous as snakes and shifting sands

If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here

I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change

Strange things never seen before
Lost rooms and silence
Bumps in the night and stories
That we tell to children

A clear glass divide
No way to cross the line
They swim forever while I'm
Going out to watch the sea come in

If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here

I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change

This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can
This ship's sailed as far as it can

If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here
If you're looking for answers
If you're looking, don't look here
Don't look here

I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change
What does it feel like to be something
To be something you're not?

(And we could never know)
I know, I'm guaranteed to be watching
I'm guaranteed to be waiting
For something to change


5.In The Mountains

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

Beautiful, deadly as before snow
You're in, you're out
In the mountains where it grows
In jungles, so far away
It could not matter if they were firewood

If you're having fun, it doesn't matter so
You just carry on, like you always do
You're not special
Special enough, to make it okay

My ideal, such contradiction
Condescending to cross the line
Good times, beautiful people
Expensive homes, such hospitality

If you're having fun, it doesn't matter so
You just carry on, like you always do
You're not special
Special enough, to make it okay

If you're having fun, it doesn't matter so
You just carry on, like you always do
You're not special
Special enough, to make it okay

So go on, so go on, you're doing alright
You've got money and professional type
So go on, what's the worry with a little bit at a time
What's the worry when it's someone else's problem

It's not my problem
It's not my problem
It's not my problem

Beautiful, deadly as before snow
You're in, you're out
In the mountains

If you're having fun, it doesn't matter so
You just carry on, like you always do
You're not special
Special enough, to make it okay

If you're having fun, it doesn't matter so
You just carry on, like you always do
You're not special
Special enough, to make it okay


6.This Is A Fix

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

Tellin' you one thing
And you believe it
Once, twice, three, four times
'Til it sinks right in

They just followed orders to go on
This path runs in circles
This is a fix, this is a fix

This path runs in circles
This is a fix, this is a fix

A bandage won't suffice
It cannot make it right
They believe the words
It cost them their life

They just followed orders to go on
This path runs in circles
This is a fix, this is a

This path runs in circles
This is a fix, this is a fix

Believin's the only thing that you'll need
That you'll need, that you'll need
That you'll need, that you'll need

They just followed orders to go on
This path runs in circles
This is a fix, this is a

This path runs in circles
This is a fix, this is a fix


7.Bad Guy

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

A different attitude of mind
Is not something to be persecuted
No world government knows
Justice and truth from organized crime
Do you think that someone telling you what's
Right and what's wrong means liberty? I don't

Film stars on the silver screen
If there's one thing I know from TV
Good things don't happen to ugly people
A perfect smile's a good guy thing
They get the girl and they always win
Good things don't happen to ugly people

You were born to be the bad guy
You could make the hero look a little beat inside
You know it's wrong but it feels so right
Nothing to lose if you're going to die

You were born to be the bad guy
You could make the hero look a little beat inside
You know it's wrong but it feels so right
Nothing to lose

You've got a plan, a look in your eyes
You've got commitment and you know what you want
You've got a problem, history shows
There's always somebody telling you no
Anyone looks good in a tuxedo with a gun
But it takes style to become Public Enemy number one

Film stars on the silver screen
If there's one thing I know from TV
Good things don't happen to ugly people
A perfect smile's a good guy thing
They get the girl and they always win
Good things don't happen to ugly people

You were born to be the bad guy
You could make the hero look a little beat inside
You know it's wrong but it feels so right
Nothing to lose if you're going to die

You were born to be the bad guy
You could make the hero look a little beat inside
You know it's wrong but it feels so right
Nothing to lose if you're going to die

Always the bad guy, always the outsider
Always the bad guy, always the outsider

You were born to be the bad guy
You could make the hero look a little beat inside
You know it's wrong but it feels so right
Nothing to lose if you're going to die

You were born to be the bad guy
You could make the hero look a little beat inside
You know it's wrong but it feels so right
Nothing to lose if you're going to die


8.Sleepwalking

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

Nineteen years gone away
The kids have grown up
These trains don't run anymore
How the view from the window's changed

Over my bones, people talk and talk
Do we all commit to?

You'd see so much more of the world today
If you take into sleepwalking
The last thing that you heard must have been
I'll change, I'll change, I'll change

Time traveling, makes an antique of yourself
The curtains pulled wide
The unveiling of a museum piece

Small price to pay, small price to pay
For this freedom of choice

You'd see so much more of the world today
If you take into sleepwalking
The last thing that you heard must have been
I'll change, I'll change, I'll change

Out of date, at the right place, at the wrong time
Don't let them take it away
Out of place but a lucky escape
Rescued at last

You'd see so much more of the world today
If you take into sleepwalking
The last thing that you heard must have been
I'll change, I'll change, I'll change


9.Secret Police

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

Touching your skin is a victory
A revolution of hearts and minds
When does a movement become a regime?

When your spies with the smiling guys
Call in the secret police
Call in the secret police

What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the secret police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with a recital of lines

When the rot sets in, misaddressed in suspicion
And to caress now a strange hand in the night
The manifesto we prize, with secrets and lies
A state of fear, a cold war
Call in the secret police

What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the secret police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with a recital of lines

What happened to the vision we had?
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the secret police)
The freedom to say whatever we like
Replaced with a recital of lines

Don't make me disappear, I have not told the line
Don't make me disappear, I have not told the line
(Disappear, disappear)
Don't make me disappear I have not told the line
(Disappear, disappear)

It doesn't have to get like this
It doesn't have to get like this

Call in the secret police
Call in the secret police

What happened to the vision we had
(Ahh, ahh)
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the secret police)
(Ahh, ahh)

The freedom to say whatever we like
(Ahh, ahh)
Replaced with a recital of lines
(Ahh, ahh)

What happened to the vision we had
(Ahh, ahh)
This silence is a strangled cry
(Call in the secret police, ahh, ahh)

The freedom to say whatever we like
(Ahh, ahh)
Replaced with a recital of lines
(Ahh, ahh)


10.Make The Mistakes

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

Seven second delay
What's in the gap between my ears
And what you say nothing on display
No evidence of life behind the noise

I'm on your side, I'm on your side, oh
But we don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side, I'm on your side, oh
But we don't see eye to eye

Sit back and wait
Let someone else make the mistakes
No time to waste, no time to waste
We're pushing on we've got somewhere to go

I'm on your side, I'm on your side, oh
But we don't see eye to eye
I'm on your side, I'm on your side, oh
But we don't see eye to eye

You're in the driving seat
Don't know where you are going
This is getting out of control
This is getting out of control

You're in the driving seat
Don't know where you are going
This is getting out of control
This is getting out of control

Hope and I hope, and I always will
Feel what I feel, what I always will

I'm on your side
I'm on your side, oh
I'm on your side
(I'm on your side)
I'm on your side, oh
(On your side)

But we don't see eye to eye
(Oh)
I'm on your side
(I'm on your side)

I'm on your side, oh
(On your side)
But we don't see eye to eye
(Oh)

You're in the driving seat
(I'm on your side)
Don't know where you are going
(On your side)

This is getting out of control
This is getting out of control
(Oh)

You're in the driving seat
(I'm on your side)
Don't know where you are going
(On your side)

This is getting out of control
This is getting out of control
(Oh)

Hope and I hope, and I always will
Feel what I feel, what I always will


11.Light Entertainment

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins, Paul
Mullen

I've seen it all, every gallery and concert hall
Those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before
And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?
Light entertainment, so we forget the place we're in

I've been paying close attention
I've been on the edge of my seat
Waiting for an answer
To the question that is on my mind

I can't enjoy this entertainment
I can't enjoy myself because
I'm concentrating too hard on the question
It was going on

We do our finest work, our surrounding decay
And now I find myself imagining the end
Bricks crumbling, the roof is finally caving in
I knew this day would come but thought I'd be out of here

After all, to start again, you're calling out the shots
And all because, the things we are
We're waiting out the war

I've been paying close attention
I've been on the edge of my seat
Waiting for, yeah, I've been waiting for
I can't enjoy this entertainment
I can't enjoy myself because
I'm concentrating, not questioning

After all, to start again, you're calling out the shots
And all because, the things we are
We're waiting out the war

I've seen it all, every gallery and concert hall
Those long dead faces and melodies I've heard before
And when we reach the end, what's the point behind it all?
Light entertainment so we forget we're here


12.In This World

Another day, you can't rub the sand from your eyes.
So many paper cuts leave you with so little bite
Pigeon holes, to define, the right lines, and its height.
Tight, too tight.
It's in the air, everywhere and nowhere.
I'm not telling you, what you cannot do,
I just wanted to know....

Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?

Promises, well you've heard them all before.
They left you let down, on the 52nd floor.
And I'm not member tae
Day after day.
Without an independant thought.
Just like it always was

I'm not telling you, what you cannot do,
I just wanted to know....

Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
For the rest of your life.

I'm not telling you, what you cannot do,
I just wanted to know....
I'm not telling you, what you cannot do,
I just wanted to know....

Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
Do you wanna live in this world for the rest of your live?
For the rest of your life.


13.Big Ideas

She should have looked the other way
The signal changed, direction fades
And we believed in every word we (saw)
Every time I check, everywhere we go
The more we learn the less we know

But for now, but for now, but for now
Put your big ideas down
Let's have one, let's have one, let's have one
More night together, to get over ourselves

Try to remember how far we've come
Before we get so far that nothing can be done
And I forgot what we were driving towards
Every turn we take, every fork in the road
The more we learn the less we know

But for now, but for now, but for now
Put your big ideas down
Let's have one, let's have one, let's have one
More night together, to get over ourselves

But for now, but for now, but for now
Put your big ideas down
Let's have one, let's have one, let's have one
More night together, to get over ourselves

I had some answers, the wrong directions
I had some questions, the right intentions
I had some answers, the wrong directions
I had some questions, the right intentions

But for now, but for now, but for now
Put your big ideas down
Let's have one, let's have one, let's have one
More night together, to get over ourselves

But for now, but for now, but for now
Put your big ideas down
Let's have one, let's have one, let's have one
More night together, to get over ourselves

15.Steve McQueen

Lyricist:James Frost, Iwan Huw Griffiths, Robin Harry Hawkins,
Alexander Gregor Pennie

Can't put my finger on what's changed
To my surprise I found everything the same
In a house that's not quite home
Nothing was missing but something had gone

I hadn't seen my reflection in a while
So I took a walk through town
To see if someone moved the streets around

I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaping
I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaped me

The engine was running but I couldn't get away
Part of the scenery, no reason to stay
All my pictures have been erased
Just an extra with nothing to say

I wrote myself into a new storyline
This part was different, this time it was mine
Now I'm lost in my own town
It seems like someone moved the streets around

I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaping
I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaped me

Every thing's just as I left it
But it wasn't me who left it
The position has been filled

Every thing's just as I left it
But it wasn't me who left it
The position has been filled

Just chasing, just chasing, just chasing my tail
Just chasing, just chasing, just chasing my tail
I'm just
(Trying to catch up with myself)

Trying to catch up with myself
Trying to catch up with myself
Trying to catch up with myself

I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaping
I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaped me

Every thing's just as I left it
But it wasn't me who left it
The position has been filled

Every thing's just as I left it
But it wasn't me who left it
The position has been filled

I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaping
I was the teenage Steve McQueen
My best performance escaping
