Jump out of bed as soon as you hear the alarm clock!
You may also find it useful spending five minutes each morning
saying to yourself: "Every day in every way I am getting better
and better" Perhaps it is a good idea to start a new day with the
right frame of mind.
1) AIRBAG in the next world war
in a jackknifed juggernaut
i am born again
..!!in an intastella burst i am back to save the universe!!
in a 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
2) PARANOID ANDROID please could you stop the noise i'm tryin a get some rest?
from all the unbornchikkenVoicesin my head?
huh what's that??
when i am king you will be the first against the wall
with your opinions which are of no consequence at all
huh what's that??
aaaaaaaaaaambition makes you look very ugly
kicking squeeling gucci little piggy
you don't remember
why don't you remember my name?
off with his head.
off with his head man.
why won't he remember my name?

froma great height from a great
that's it sir you're leaving
the crackle of the pig skin
the dust & the screaming
the yuppies networking
the panic
the vomit
god loves his children
yeah
3) 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.
up above aliens hover making home movies for the folks back home,
of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits,
drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets.
they're all up-tight
i wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane,
late at night when i'm driving.
take me on board 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,
they'd think that i'd 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. i'm just up-tight.
4) EXIT MUSIC (FOR A FILM) wake from your dreams
thhe drying of your tears
today we escape
we escape
pack and get dressed
before your father hears us
before all hell breaks loose
breathe keep breathing
dont loose your nerve
breathe keep breathing
i cant do this alone
sing us a song
a song to keep us warm
theres sucha chill sucha 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
5) LET DOWN transport.
motorways & tramlines.
starting and then stopping.
taking off & landing.
the emptiest of feelings
disappointed people.
clinging onto bottles.
when it comes it's so so.
disappointing let down and hanging around.
crushed like a bug in the ground.
let down and hanging around.
shell smashed.
juices flowing.
wings twitch.
legs are going.
dont get sentimental.
it always end up drivel.
hysterical and useless.
hysterical and let down and hanging around.
crushed like a bug in the ground.
let down and hanging around.
you know where you are with.
floor collapses floating bouncing back and one day.
you'll know where you are.
6) KARMA POLICE karma police arrest this man he thinks in maths
he buzzes like a fridge he's like a detuned radio
karma police arrest this girl her hitler hairdo is making me feel ill
& we have crashed her party.
this is what you get. 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.
this is what you get when you mess with us
phew for a minute there i lost myself
i lost myself

slower and more calculated
no chance of escape
now self-employed
concerned (but powerless)
an empowered & informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism)

less chance of illness
tyres that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat)
a good memory
wtill cries at a good film
still kisses with saliva
no longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick
tah'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
8) ELECTIONEERING i will stop
i will stop at nothing
say the right things
when electioneering
i trust i can rely on your vote
when i go forwards you go backwards and somewhere we will meet
riot sheelds
voodoo economics
it's just business
cattle prod and the IMF
i trust i can rely on your vote
9) 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 her face when she sleeps tonight
i am the pick in the ice
do not cry out or hit the alarm
we are friends till we die
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 off
it's always better on the outside
the crack of your waning smile
blows to the skull
so tuck the kids in safe tonight
and shut the eyes in the cupboard
do not cry or hit the panic button
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
10) NO SURPRISES 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 hanshake some carbon monoxyde
no alarms and no surprises
silent
this is my final fit
my final bellyache with
no alarms and no surprises
please
such a pretty house
such a pretty garden
no alarms and no surprises
please
11) WASTER i'm on a roll
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
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 glorious day
i feel my luck could change
pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
i'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge
12) THE TOURIST it barks at no-one else but me like it's seen a ghost
i guess it's seen the sparks a-flowing, no-one else would know
sometimes i get overcharged that's when you see sparks
they ask where the hell i'm going? at 1000 feet per second
hey man slow down. idiot slow down.
