Airbag

In The Next World War

In a Jacknifed Juggernaut

I am born again

In the neon sign scrolling up and down

I am born again

In an intastella burst I am back to save the universe

In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent

I am born again

In a fast German car

I'm amazed that I survived

An airbag saved my life

In an intastella burst I am back to save the universe

Paranoid Android

Please could you stop the noise I'm tryin to get some rest

From all the unborn chicken voices in my head

What's that?

When I am king you will be first against the wall

With your opinions which are of no consequence at all

What's that?

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly

Kicking screaming gucci little piggy

You don't remember, you don't remember

Why don't you remember my name?

Off with his head man, off with his head!

Why won't he remember my name?

I guess he does

Raindown raindown come and raindown on me

From a great height, from a great haaaeeeeeiii. haaaaeeeeeiiii

Raindown rain down come and rain down on me

From a great height, from a great aaaaaeeeeee

[(previous verse continues into this)]

That's it sir you're leaving

The crackle of pig skin

The dust and the screaming

The yuppies networking

The panic

The vomit

The panic

The vomit

God loves his children

God loves his children, yeah

Subterranean Homesick Alien

The breath of the morning

i keep forgetting the smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town where you can't smell a thing

You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement

High up above aliens hover

Making home movies for the folks back home

Of all of these weird creatures who lock up their spirits

Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets.

They're all uptight, uptight

Uptight, uptight

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane

Late at night when I'm driving

Take me onboard their beautiful ship

Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me

They'd think that I've finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life

They'd shut me away

But I'd be alright

Alright

I'm alright

Alright

I'm just uptight, uptight

Uptight, uptight

Exit Music (For A Film)

Wake from your sleep

and dry all your tears

Today we escape

We escape

Pack and get dressed

Before your father hears us

Before all Hell breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing

Don't loose your nerve

Breathe, keep breathing

I can't do this alone

Sing us a song

A song to keep us warm

There's such a chill

Such a chill

You can laugh

A spineless laugh

We hope your rules and wisdom choke you

Now we are one

In everlasting peace

We hope that you choke, that you choke

Let Down

Transport

Motorways and tramlines

Starting and then stopping

Taking off and landing

The emptiest of feelings

Disappointed people

Clinging onto bottles

When it comes it's so so disappointing

Let down and hanging on

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed

Juices flowing

Wings twitch

Legs are going

Don't get sentimental

It always ends up drivel

One day

I am gonna grow wings

A chemical reaction

Hysterical and useless

Hysterical and let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

You know

You know where you are with

Floor collapses floating bouncing back

And one day you'll know where you are

One day

I am gonna grow wings

A chemical reaction

Hysterical and useless

Hysterical and let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

Karma Police

Karma police arrest this man

He talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge

He's like a detuned radio

Karma police arrest this girl

Her hitler hairdo is makin me feel ill

And we have crashed her party

This is what you get

This is what you get when you mess with us

Karma police I've given all i can

It's not enough

I've given all I can

But we're still on the payroll

This is what you get

This is what you get when you mess with us

For a minute there I lost myself

I lost myself

For a minute there I lost myself

I lost myself

For a minute there I lost myself

I lost myself

For a minute there I lost myself

I lost myself

Fitter Happier

Fitter happier

More productive

Comfortable

Not drinking too much

Regular excersise at the gym (3 days a week)

Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries

At ease

Eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)

A patient better driver

A safer car (baby smiling in back seat)

Sleeping well (no bad dreams)

No paranoia

Careful to all animals (no washing spiders down the plughole)

Keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then)

Will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole the wall)

Favours for favours

Fond but not in love

Charity standing orders

On Sunday ring road supermarket

No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants

Car wash (also on sundays)

No longer afraid of the dark

Or midday shadows

Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate

Nothing so childish

At a better pace

Slower and more calculated

No chance of escape

Now self-employed

Concerned (but powerless)

An empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism)

Will not cry in public

Less chance of illness

Tyres that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat)

A good memory

Still cries at a good film

Still kisses with saliva

No longer empty and frantic

Like a cat

Tied to a stick

That's driven into

Frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)

Calm

Fitter, healthier and more productive

A pig

In a cage

On antibiotics

Electioneering

I will stop

I will stop for nothing

Say the right things

When electioneering

I trust I can rely on your vote

When I go forwards

You go backwards

Somewhere we will meet

When I go forwards

You go backwards

And somewhere we will meet

Riot shields

Voodoo economics

It's just buisiness

Cattle prods and the IMF

I trust i can rely on your vote

When I go forwards

You go backwards

Somewhere we will meet

When I go forwards

You go backwards

And somewhere we will meet

Climbing Up The Walls

I am the key to the lock in your house

That keeps your toys in the basement

And if you get too far inside

You'll only see my reflection

I am your face when she sleeps tonight

I am the pick in the ice

Do not cry or hit the alarm

We are friends till we die

And either way you turn

I'll be there

Open up your skull

I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

It's always best when the light is not on

It's always better on the outside

15 blows to the back of the head

So lock the kids up safe tonight

And shut the eyes in the cupboard,

Do not cry out or hit the alarm

You'll get the loneliest feeling that

Either way you turn,

I'll be there

Open up your skull,

I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfill

A job that slowly kills you

Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and happy

Bring down the government

They don't

They don't speak for us

I'll take a quiet life

A handshake

Some carbon monoxide

No alarms and no surprises

Silent

This is my final fit

My final bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises

No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden

No alarms and no surprises

No alarms and no surprises please

Lucky

I'm on a roll

This time

I feel my luck could change

Kill me Sarah

Kill me again

With love

It's gonna be a glorious day

Pull me out of the aircrash

Pull me out of the lake

Cause I'm your superhero

We are standing on the edge

The head of state has called for me by name

But i don't have time for him

It's gonna be a glorius day

I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash

Pull me out of the lake

Cause I'm your superhero

We are standing on the edge

The Tourist

It barks at no-one else but me

Like its seen a ghost

I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin

No-one else would know

Hey man, slow down

Slow down

Idiot, slow down

Slow down

Sometimes I get over charged

That's when you see sparks

They ask me where the Hell I'm going

A thousand feet per second

Hey man, slow down

Slow down

Idiot, slow down

Slow down

Hey man, slow down

Slow down

Idiot, slow down

Slow down
