Don’t bother saying
You think the world owes you something
In the end we all know
It just comes to nothing
You know, you know
I try was hard as I can
If that is not enough
Then that is just too bad
So let the rollercoaster roll
And hang on if you can
It’s a funny little world
It’s getting smaller all the time
You know
And we try and face it
Try and stay on our own feet
Though the ground is shifting
At a thousand miles an hour
You know, you know
I try was hard as I can
If that is not enough
Then that is just too bad
So let the rollercoaster roll
And hang on if you can
It’s a funny little world
It’s getting smaller all the time
You know

House on the Hill

Every morning I wake up and pray to something
And peel the lids back from my weary eyes
Can you tell me what went wrong?
Can anybody tell me anything?
Tell me, please tell me
Won’t you tell me?
Please tell me (yeah)
‘Cos you know
I want you back
I don’t want you back
Won’t take you back
Every morning I wake up and pray to something
And peel the lids back from my weary eyes
Can you tell me what went wrong?
Can anybody tell me anything?
Tell me, please tell me
Won’t you tell me?
Please tell me
Oh tell me (yeah)
‘Cos you know
I want you back
I don’t want you back
Won’t take you back
Your eyes shone like stars, so hard
Like that diamond ring I threw away
You know I can see your house from my room
You know I can see your house it stands upon that hill
Tell me, please tell me
Won’t you tell me?
Please tell me
Oh tell me (yeah)
‘Cos you know
I want you back
I don’t want you back
Won’t take you back
I want you back knick knack paddy whack
Smack my crack
Every day we ran as hard as we could
Across the hills and into the woods
You know I wake up in the most fearsome sweats
I wake up with my hands wrapped around your neck
Tell me, please tell me
Won’t you tell me?
Please tell me
Oh tell me (yeah)
‘Cos you know
I want you back
I don’t want you back
I won’t take you back
Knick knack paddy whack smack

Polar Bears
03:06
|

Look out
White out
Ishmael stalks into town
A white fog wraps him in a shroud
Ooh I wonder
Ah we all wonder
You all wonder but we can never understand
Look out
White out
He says ‘Don’t wander over there
I can’t see you for polar bears’
Look out
White out
With a ship of fools he sails
He knows they’re doomed to fail
Ooh I wonder
Ah we all wonder
You all wonder but we can never understand
Look out
White out
The ship is spinning down
The answers will never be found
Ooh I wonder
Ah we all wonder
You all wonder but we can never understand
Shut your eyes and try not to think
Shut your mouth and go to sleep
Shut your eyes and go to sleep
The sound is so sweet
Yeah

Needles

I recall
In days gone by
When in your yard
You and I would lie
And watch the clouds skidding by
And feel the world spinning round
The stories crept
Around the town
Of a jester
Of some renown
He jumped and flew into the dark
All that we could see were sparks
We drank too much
By the sea
And for one moment
You turned to me
I think I know what you tried to say
And I got scared and turned away
I recall
In days gone by
When in your yard
You and I would lie
And watch the clouds skidding by
And feel the world spinning round

All You Do
03:22
|

This is my world
That’s what you said to me
You said, we’re the only ones so let’s eat
as we claimed it all for our little piggy selves
I must admit I felt a little ill at ease
All you say and all you do are not the same
I don’t understand a word you say
Please leave me alone and go away
And as we hit the exit to the blackest street
I embraced the passing parade as I never had before
The poodle heads were drifting by in their metallic dreams
And I confess it didn’t seem as pointless it once had
All you say and all you do are not the same
I don’t understand a word you say
Please leave me alone and go away
And I realised your mouth was flapping like a gate
Banging in a hurricane
Your words drifted up into the night
Never to be heard again
And for this the world seemed a better place
All you say and all you do are not the same
And I don’t understand a word you say
Please leave me alone and go away

Albatross
04:06
|

For you I would have broken
Everything I had
And at the end to end all ends
That’s precisely what I did
And you climbed aboard a strange boy’s leaky ship
I wish I could have told you
How you made me fly
For in my guts the sun would rise
Back then I would have gladly died
And you climbed aboard a strange boy’s leaky ship
I thought I saw you wave
But now I’m not so sure
Albatross, Albatross
I climbed up to the rooftop
To see how far you’d get
To my surprise
I heard your voice
It seems you couldn’t make the choice
And you climbed aboard a strange boy’s leaky ship
And on a winters Thursday
As I stood at your door
I realised you weren’t alone
And then my head began to roar
I thought I saw you wave
But now I’m not so sure
Albert Ross, Albatross
And you climbed aboard a strange boy’s leaky ship
And when I was a child
I travelled in my dreams
I’d see our house way down below
And all the pain and fear would go
And you climbed aboard a strange boy’s leaky ship
I thought I saw you wave
But now I’m not so sure
Albatross, Albatross

Away
02:14
|
|||
Another bitching night
That pitches us together
Things are too painful
Let’s discuss the weather
Away, today we play
We’ll orbit each other
Like a thousand times before
And when I hit the atmosphere
You’ll burn me to the core
Away, today we play
Away, today uhuh today uhuh
I’ll give you my toys if I can ride in your pocket
You can carry me around
Like a silver rocket
Away, today we play
Your big sister makes jokes about the way that we are
And as I deny the truth
You drive off in her car
Away today we play
Away, today uhuh today uhuh
It’s such a pointless game
That neither one of us will win
So why is it that I can’t wait to try again
Away today we play
Away, today uhuh today uhuh

Words Are Easy
03:52
|

I’ll wrap up your sorrow
In that coat you left behind
Maybe I’ll bring it around tomorrow
All the children are laughing
Why the hell are you crying?
Can’t you see it’s just a bad dream?
Words are easy
All that glitters is gold
Or so they say
And I know there’s gold for fools too
Words are easy my friend
Words are easy
Words are easy my friend
Words are easy
I’m going to take you down
To the river’s edge

Driving hard through the longest night
Got a monkey in the back seat
Giving directions with no destination
Spin that wheel
You made me feel
You got the good medicine
Sitting under your tongue
Haven’t blinked for seven hours
Punch the pedal to the power
Spin that wheel
You made me feel
The stars are spinning
Sensory overload
Hear the tyres screaming or is it me
I don’t know
Spin that wheel
You made me feel
And the moon is crying
Golden tears across the sky
And the wind is singing
And my world is splitting
Spin that wheel
You made me feel
Spin that wheel
I got the loser’s deal

The Others' Way
04:10
|

You warned me you'd never promised me anything
But I never really thought that it would end this way
I could never ever, ever, ever, ever, hope to keep you together
Because I'm such a cripple I just get in the way
In the others way
Yeah, well now okay, I know screaming from the inside
Isn't really gonna help me
But with you that's the only place where I can scream at you
Because you're taking me places that I shouldn't really be
In the others way
So if you wanna know the meaning of meaninglessness
Then I'll see you on the 7th of May
In the others way

Oh No

She says I have to face the truth
All the tigers under my bed
And I’m too scared run for the light
Oh no
The world is turning
But who is cranking the gears?
Who cares?
Just pull the lever and pass another one
Oh no
It’s happening again
Oh no
We’re falling away
Oh no
I’ll have to let go
’Til another day
She says look to the horizon
And see that thing burning there
And its coming for you and you won’t lift your gaze
Oh no
The world is turning
But who is cranking the gears?
Who cares?
Just pull the lever and pass another one
Oh no
It’s happening again
Oh no
We’re falling away
Oh no
I’ll have to let go
’Til another day
And I concede that the present is a bad place to hide
But the past snaps like a dog and tomorrow’s a tidal wave and
Oh no
The world is turning but who is cranking the gears?
Who cares?
Just pull the lever and pass another one
Oh no
It’s happening again
Oh no
We’re falling away

Come, come, come bear witness
To his royal sickness
His mind is dark
He says I have a dream and soon
I’m gonna make it real
And then it will be yours
He says I believe I am the truth
And I believe I have the cure
So close your eyes
And realise
Take one step forward
Just one step forward
And I believe the cause is good
But not for them
For me and you
And I can see that in the snow
And how it glows yeah
How it glows
Come, come, share my vision
Don’t even need to make a decision
The way is clear
My voice is the only one
And I can take you to the sun
And they will still be here
He says I believe I am the truth
And I believe I have the cure
So close your eyes
Believe the lies
Take one step forward
Just one step forward
And I believe the cause is good
But not for them for me and you
And I can see that in the snow
And how it glows yeah
How it glows
Come, come, come bear witness
To his royal sickness
His mind is God
He says I have a dream
And soon I’m gonna make you feel
And then it will be yours
He says I believe I am the truth
And I believe I have the cure
So close your eyes
Believe the lies
Take one step forward
Just one step forward
And I believe the cause is good
But not for them
For me and you

Every Time

Talk about, talk about
Our one addiction
It's the same one hanging over all
And it’s true
Yes it’s true
That our predilections
Tend to lead us by the balls
And every time with you
Every time with you
And every time with you
Is a holy day
Every time with you
Is a holy day
A holy day
A holy day
I confess, I confess
My grand obsession
Is a world of warmth and lingering caresses
Just to feel, yeah to feel
That moment flower
Leaves us always wanting more
And every time with you
And every time with you
Every time with you
Is a holy day
Every time with you
Is a holy day
A holy day
A holy day
Every time with you
Is a holy day
Every time with you
Is a holy day
Every time with you
Every time with you
Every time
Every time

One last request as
I lay you one the slide
And adjust the microscope
Please don't move
I take pride in my steady hands
Any movement could ruin all our plans
Can't you see
I just want to cut you
All I want is one glance of recognition
A flicker of the eye
Would make it all worthwhile
I take pride in my steady hands
Any movement could ruin all our plans and
Can't you see
I just want to cut you
One last request as
I lay you one the slide
And adjust the microscope
Please don't move
I take pride in my steady hands
Any movement could ruin all our plans
Can't you see
I just want to cut you
I just want to cut you
I just want to cut you
I just want to cut
