The Dissociatives Unreleased Songs Lyrics
1.We're Much Preferred Customers

Lyricist:Daniel Johns, Paul F Mcdermott

We're much preferred customers
Welcome to planet pod
Where insects sound like lasers
And men who wear abrasive hats

With eyeballs, judge like juries
And skin that flakes like ancient paint
Suffocate contentment
Birds creep over tin roofs
Like criminals with tap shoes

Stain the glass with windows
Extortionate and cold stare
We're much preferred customers
And honestly I don't care

You'll get a chance
Another chance, one more sun

Drape the concrete curtains
Over empty spaces
Age is just a number drawn
On empty faces, sun, sun


2.Horror With Eyeballs

Lyricist:Daniel Johns, Paul F Mcdermott

All of this time on my hands
So far has gone to feeding my animals

Behind this gold picket fence lies a whole institute
Where wallpaper painters scrape and scarecrows swell waterlogged
Now I've got dead time on my hands
For feeding my animals

All of this time on my hands
So far has gone to feeding my animals

All of this time on my hands
So far has gone to feeding my animals

On this dark kissed day the light shines through only you
Or is it because your silhouette is your frame like an empty
window
Now I got cold time up my sleeve
Now I'm feeling destitute

All of this time on my hands
So far has gone to feeding my animals

All of this time on my hands
So far has gone to feeding my animals

All of that time I was dead
Limbless in bed, sedated experiment

I feel root vegetable! Am I dead or buried alive?
I sleep warm velvet wand by the night
I'm selling the sun, my skin feels silky smooth
Now I'm buried in mud

All of this time on my hands
So far has gone to feeding my animals

All of this time on my hands
So far has gone to feeding my animals

All of that time I was dead
Limbless in bed, sedated experiment


3.Forever And A Day

Lyricist:Daniel Johns, Paul F Mcdermott

Waiting for this jury to unwind
'Cause it's been so hard wearing my heart up my sleeve
Words won't say the sounds that I can hear
A thousand sunshines on rainclouds
The truth is I'd believe and be

Forever and a day
So cold without you
Forever and a day
Lonely without you

Whenever you're away
I'm starting to doubt you
Forever and a day
So cold, so cold

Time has never been a friend of mine
But it has owed me a favor since everything was fine
And I'm desperate change, as familiar as the moon
I'm feeling lonely and stable
And it's believed that soon I'll be

Forever and a day

Days are folding over night
Turning empty pages
But I don't see nothing
If I don't see you

Forever and a day
So cold without you
Forever and a day
Lonely without you

Whenever you're away
I'm starting to doubt you
Forever and a day
So cold, so cold

Forever and a day
So cold, so cold
Forever and a day
So cold, so cold
(Without you)


4.Thinking In Reverse

Lyricist:Daniel Johns, Paul F Mcdermott

Now that everything's in place, you're lining up the pins
And needles down the longest trail
You've got the answer but it lasts
As long as you can smile but pretty soon your cheeks will hurt

I'm not trying to make things worse
But you're thinking in reverse
Now that everything is never too much

Take the standard line and turn
It back upon itself to see what hurt is once you've felt
'Coz we've been numb like corridors and dry like tumbleweed
This hospital's my favorite church

And I got it alright
To see what I can see is taking over me


5.Young Man, Old Man (You Ain't Better Than the Rest)

Lyricist:Daniel Johns, Paul F Mcdermott

I've got a clear spot, a devilish psalm
But nobody's home to fix the alarm, no
Disgruntled woman, enchanted stains
We're tempted by God but nothing remains

Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see
Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see

My faith is hungry like a whale frozen toes
Steal cap fingers and nobody knows
It's raining concrete, a tunnel wind blows
Stones on my column, the path that I chose

Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see
Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see
Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see

You ain't better than the rest
You ain't better than the rest
You ain't better than the rest
You ain't better than the rest

You ain't better than the rest
You ain't better than the rest
You ain't better than the rest
Better than the rest

Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see
Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see

Hey boys, we speak better than young men
But will be better than an old man, honey, you'll see
Hey boys, young men, old man, you'll see


6.Aaängry Megaphone Man

INDECISION HAS BEEN MADE,
ERASE THE LINE OF SIGHT,
AND FOR EVERY SHOT THAT'S SLUNG
EVAPORATE THE LIGHT,
WITHIN A TAR LIKE HOLD
BELIEVING WHAT WE'RE TOLD
AND THE EDGES START TO FRAY
BEFORE THE CENTRE FOLDS BETWEEN THE LIES
A DISTANT WHALE CRIES UNTIL THE SEA OVERFLOWS

ONCE UPON A TIME WE'D NEVER BEEN COLD
AND TIDALLY THE MESSAGE HAD BEEN SENT
THE FURY WOULD START AND FINALLY
THE WHALE IT WOULD REIGN
LIKE A KING ON A STORM CLOUD

LIKE THE WIND THROUGH AUTUMN LEAVES
YOU RAKE THE SHARDS OF LIGHT
AND EVERYTIME THEY STARE
YOU LOSE A LITTLE SIGHT TO SEA,
YOU'RE WINDING WILLOWS OVER TREES
UNTIL THE SEA OVERFLOWS


7.Sleep Well Tonight

Lyricist:Daniel Johns, Paul F Mcdermott

Some foolish man dreamt
That dreaming had no meaning
And life is quite simply
A series of illusions

Tonight, sleep well tonight

Some restless thoughts linger
Long before they're dangerous
And light is quite simply
And life is quite simply
A series of intrusions

Tonight, sleep well tonight


8.Aaangry Megaphone Man

Lyricist:Daniel Johns, Paul F Mcdermott

Indecision has been made
Erase the line of sight
And for every shot that's slung
Evaporate the light

Within a tar like hold
Believing what we're told
And the edges start to fray
Before the centre folds between the lies
A distant whale cries until the sea overflows

Once upon a time we'd never been cold
And tidally the message had been sent
The fury would start and finally
The whale it would reign
Like a king on a storm cloud

Like the wind through autumn leaves
You rake the shards of light
And every time they stare
You lose a little sight to sea
You're winding willows over trees
Until the sea overflows
