Airbag
In the next world
war
in a jack knifed
juggernaut
I am born again
in the neon sign
scrolling up and
down
an airbag saved my
life
in an intastellar
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
Paranoid Android
Please could you
stop the noise i'm trying to get some REST?
from all the unborn
chicken voices in my head

When i am king you
will be first against the wall
with your opinion
which is of no consequence at all
huh? what's that??
(i may... be paranoid... but... no... android...)
ambition makes you
look very ugly
kicking squealing
gucci little piggy

from a great height

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!
Subterranian 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
uptight.
I wish that they'd
swoop down in the 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'd finally lost it completely
I'd show them the
stars
and the meaning of
life
they'd shut me away
but i'll be
alright.
I'm just uptight.
Exit Music (For A Film)
Wake from your
sleep
the 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
don't lose 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
and 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
and when it comes
its 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
don't get
sentimental
it always ends up
drivel
one day
I'm going to 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
you know where you
are with
floor collapses
floating
bouncing back
and one
daaaaaaaaaaaayyyyy
I am gonna grow
wings
a chemical reaction
(you know where you are)
hysterical and
useless (you know where you are)
hysterical and (you
know where you are)
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 making me feel
ill,
and 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

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,
somewhere we will
meet.
Riot shields,
voodoo economics,
it's just business,
cattle prods and
the IMF
i trust i can rely
on your vote.
When I go forwards,
you go backwards,
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.
It's always best
when the light is off
I am the pick in
the ice
do not cry out or
hit the alarm,
we're 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 off,
it's always better
on the outside,
fifteen blows to
the back of your head,
fifteen blows to
your mind.
So tuck the kids in
safe tonight,
shut the eyes in
the cupboard,
I've got the smell
of a local man
who's got 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 wont
heal.
You were so tired
and happy,
bring down the
government, they don't, they don't speak for us.
I'll take the quiet
life, a handshake of carbon monoxide.
No alarms and no
surprises,
No alarms and no
surprises,
No alarms and no
surprises,
Silent.
Silent.
This is my final
fit, my final bellyache with
No alarms and no
surprises,
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, (let me outta here!)
No alarms and no
surprises, (let me outta here!)
No alarms and no
surprises please. (let me outta here!)
Lucky
I'm on a roll,
I'm on a roll this

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
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
we are standing on
the edge...
The Tourist
It barks at no-one
else but me
like it's seen a
ghost
I guess its seen
the sparks a flowing

sparks
they ask me where
the hell I'm going??
at a thousand feet
per second
