1.Refugees
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
You are the dust and I am the rain
Lets go out in the rust and
Let's gather the change
Let's take to the streets
You and I we're life's refugees
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
You stain the pavements
I'll take the blame
Our love is our saviour
Our life is our grave
Let's take to the streets
You and I we're life's refugees
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
Cause we're all refugees
We're all drifting like leaves
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
Live for the sunshine
Smile through the rain
And we're all refugees
And we're all drifting like leaves
But like Bonnie and Clyde we're free
Don't say there's nothing between us
So, let's take to the streets
You and I compete with the freaks
And like Bonnie and Clyde we'll be free
Don't say there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us
Well there's nothing between us
2.Autograph
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
And the morning comes with coffee we can share
And the smell of cigarettes is in your hair
There's a sound that shouts outside the hotel room
Like the night before when cameras flattered you
And if we don't have a future
If our lives split like shattered bits of glass
And if we don't have a future
Just leave your autograph
Your autograph
And the night before the neon lit our fate
And our shadows painted many different shapes
But now the mood has turned complex and altered you Cause
there's just a smell of cigarettes left in the room
And we made fake conversation
And we pick through broken bits of glass
And it's all just complication
And too complex to ever last
Cause if we don't have a future
And if this kiss dissolves into the past
And if we don't have a future
Just leave your autograph
Your autograph
Just leave your autograph
Your autograph
Just leave your autograph
Your autograph
3.Co-star
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
Alone in my room
I switch on the tube
And wave at the screen
It stares back at me
So I turn to the sky
and watch as it cries
Just waiting in here
For the car to appear
Cause when we're together the world smiles And when we're
together it feels right
We'll live for the future and its scenes
When we're together, my co-star and me
Your plane is delayed
So I walk from the gate
But when you appear
I'll stick to you dear
And we'll stumble outside
And dance in the sunlight
Like ice in the sun
We'll melt into one
And when we're together the world smiles
And when we're together it feels right
We'll live for the future and its scenes
When we're together, my co-star and me
When we're together the planets align
When we're together I burn from the inside
We'll live for forever in this insanity
When we're together, my co-star and me
When we're together the world smiles
And when we're together it feels right
We'll live for the future and its scenes
When we're together, my co-star and me
When we're together the planets align
when we're together the stars ever shine
We'll live for forever in this insanity
When we're together, my co-star and me
4.Imperfection
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
You grow your nails too long
There's scratches on your arms
You taste like orange chocolate
You always put your hands in my pockets
Your teeth are not quite straight
Your mood swings oscillate
Your language is appalling
And you play with my hair in the morning
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I can't control my animal soul
Your imperfections have got me on a chain
Can't concentrate
I'm a sucker for your beautiful mistakes
And sometimes when we kiss
You touch my fingertips
Synthetic words can't hide me
Passion creeps like death inside me
This moment we become one
We stick like chewing gum
I want your language to be appalling
I want you to play with my hair in the morning
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I can't control my animal soul
Your imperfections have got me on a chain
Can't concentrate
I'm a sucker for your beautiful mistakes
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I can't control my animal soul
Your imperfections have got me unashamed
Can't concentrate
Your imperfections make you what you are
My defective star
My inelegant love
Your imperfections are so beautiful
I'm out of control
I'm a sucker for the defects in your, your soul
5.The Ghost Of You
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
I threw out the photographs
Like yesterdays flowers
I tried to erase the past
But it won't go away
And those were the curtains
That you had made
One thing's for certain
The ghost of you stays
I painted the second room
And cleared out the basement
And smelled some of your perfume
On the scarf that you made
The Salvation Army collected your things
I gave them the jewelery all the bracelets and rings
Your clothes in black bin bags I gave them away
I tried to move on but the ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
I threw out the photographs
Like yesterdays flowers
I tried to erase the past
But it won't go away
I wake in the morning
And try to be brave
But it's hard to move on
When the ghost of you stays
It's hard to move on
when the ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
The ghost of you stays
6.Two Creatures
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
This country looks like one big car park
The winters are so very long
And everybody wonders where the light has gone
And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sun
And you and me we're just
two creatures on the run
And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one laughs at what we wear
The phone might ring
The rain might sting oh but we don't care
We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
Cause you and me we're just
two creatures on the run
And Europe has its moving state lines
But Africa has winter sunshine
And you and me, we're just
2 creatures on the run
And we'll go where the crowds don't stare
And no one hates us for our hair
The phone might ring
The rain might sting oh but we don't care
We'll fly over the endless ocean
We're heading for the winter sun
Cause you and me we're just
two creatures on the run
America 's our supermarket
In India we'll take some stopping
Cause you and me we are just
2 creatures on the run
In Asia we can mend our breakdown
Cause you and me we must escape now
And you and me we're just
two creatures on the run
You and me we're just
two creatures on the run
You and me we're just
two creatures on the run
You and me we're just
two creatures on the run
7.Lovers
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
She shivers in the rain
It's the capital connecting with her veins Stepping under
statues and on trains
Two we are undercovers
She giggles like a child
With a sign of attention in her life
It's written on a t-shirt and it writes
But there is no other
Cause we are the lovers
We are the lovers
We're different colours
But we stand up as one
We are the lovers
We are the lovers
Two different colours
But we stand up as one
All the silly things we do
Just remind me of the flippancy of youth
Kissing under statues going through
And getting into trouble
She shivers in the cold
It's the capital connecting with her bones Jumping into taxis
here we go
Cause there is no other
Cause we are the lovers
We are the lovers
We're different colours
But we stand up as one
We are the lovers
We are the lovers
Two different colours
But we stand up as one
Cause we are the lovers
We are the lovers
We're different colours
But we stand up as one
We are the lovers
We are the lovers
Two different colours
But we stand up as one
Stop
8.Fallen Idol
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
Eyes that stare through television
Intermission in his mind
Where there once was such ambition
But blared like a bass line when the bass line's right
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shattered like some broken glass
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Bits of paper for his past
Years are scattered like the rain drops
Sits at the window through the empty day
Competitions in the paper
Stares at the sky
When the sky turns grey
Shame he's just this fallen idol Shattered like some broken
glass Shame he's just this fallen idol
Shame he's just this fallen idol Scattered on the litter grass
Shame he's just this fallen idol
Bits of paper for his past
Bits of paper for his past
9.Brave New Century
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
The pages burn, the babies scream
And lovers text in Japanese
The more you give, the more they need
The more you live, the less you see
Religion breeds like a disease
Well people spit on refugees
(can't get on with immigration)
The more you live, the less you see
The more you give, the more they need
In this brave new century
So mother where do I belong？
And mother what should I believe？
Just look what's happened to your son
In this brave new
In this brave new century
We sit and choke on magazines
And worship shit celebrities
(no more mental masturbation)
The more you give, the more they need
The more you live, the less you see
In this brave new century
Century x 6
10.Beautiful Pain
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
I'm shaking and aching and talking to the sky
I shiver in the night but I can't sleep
You're dark as the mascara
that drips down from your eyes
Look what you've done to me
You're as dark as the ocean
As cold as the rain
You've got me weak with emotion
You're such a beautiful pain
Such a beautiful pain
So I shelter in the wardrobe
And shiver on the stairs
And I slide down in the gutter with the leaves
And I tried to talk to God as if he is really there
Look what you've done to me
You're as dark as the ocean
As cold as the rain
You've got me weak with emotion
You're such a beautiful pain
And I cling to my pillow
And scratch out my veins
You kiss like a killer
You're such a beautiful pain
Such a beautiful pain
Such a beautiful pain
As dark as the ocean
As hard as the rain
You've got me weak with emotion
You're such a beautiful pain
And I cling to my pillow
And scratch out my veins
You kiss like a killer
Such a beautiful pain
11.The Asylum
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
When I hear the men outside my window kicking down my door
And all the megaphones are screaming letters of the law
Would you walk in through the gate and visit me
Would you please, in the asylum
When they're counting out the chemicals and doing daily tasks
Giving out prescription drugs and putting on their masks
Would you wonder through the grounds to visit me
As they opened up the gates and turned the key
Would you please, in the asylum
If they burn my brain away would you understand
If they try to hold me down would you hold my hand
Could you stand, stand the asylum
In the asylum
In the asylum
In the asylum
12.Apollo 13
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
Estuary girl you're not the one
You don't belong to the world that I'm from
Your lazy words blow like confetti in the wind
In the wind
Estuary girl you're not part of my scene
Your feet don't belong in my upholstery
Sometimes I sink when you call me on the phone
On the phone
Oh but if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll fly to the moon
Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode
Sad as a song, a child of the streets
Your skin don't belong on my designer sheets
In eyeliner you wrote me a note that I'll never read at all
Estuary girl
Oh but if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll fly to the moon
Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode
Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo we'll sink like a stone
Oh yes if you follow me I will follow you to the unknown
Oh like Apollo, like Apollo 13 we'll explode
You don't belong to the world that I'm from
13.A Love As Strong As Death
Written：Brett Anderson／Bernard Butler
We're all looking for a love as strong as death
That's part of our minds and part of our flesh
Looking for a love that takes away our breath
That's equally heart and equally head
To be a wave that crashes over us
To be a wave that crashes over us
Like summer rain that washes over, over us
Like summer rain that' washes over
Looking for a love as strong as death
That's equally heart and equally head
And I wonder if this is love
That people say is as strong as death
Is out there somewhere or just in their heads
Is it a wave that crashes over us？
Is it a wave that crashes over us？
Or summer rain that washes over, over us
Or summer rain that washes over, over us, over us
Uh uh uh, over us
Uh uh uh, over us
Uh uh uh, it's over
