Lyrics to The Special Collectors Edition
Day Upon Day
Waiting on this 18th day
It's just the same as any day
And although I've nothing to say
I'm going to say it anyway
Day, day upon day, day upon day, day upon day
Everybody's here with me
We're in the smallest room you see
And although we've nothing to do
We've got to do it adieu adieu
Day, day upon day, day upon day, day upon day
Inertia
Fear of being left behind
Can take you over
Suddenly you will choke
Maybe it's just a joke
I'm not sure of you
I can't hear you now
There's too much that's going around
You seem a worried fool
So I don't think I'm cool
Makes me unsure of you
Fear of being left alone
Can take you over
Slowly you will choke
And say it's just a joke
I'm not sure of you
Luminous
Don't look at me as though I'm not here
You'll only regret what you don't see
You know more than I
So think for me
Think what you're not
No substitute for jealous dreams
Never knew who you were
Half your life has been explained
You want the other half
Don't look at me as though I'm not here
You'll only regret what you don't see
Half my life has been explained
Mace
Pedalling on a bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
I've tried to touch you through the double glazing
But the curtains were drawn and the family all away
You used to know, but now you don't
No-one can see when they've got Mace in their eyes
They're papering the walls and the windows
No logic here in or out
The heating's on and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house
You used to know, but now you don't
No-one can see when they've got Mace in their eyes
I'm pedalling on my bicycle
I'm on my way to make a call
The sun is out and I'm feeling drowsy
I fall asleep and dream of burning down the house
You used to know, but now you don't
No-one can see when they've got Mace in their eyes
Badgeman Brown
This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
To the hard of hearing
For those who never will
A long legged someone
Seen walking away from home
Look a vacant dreamer
Walking home alone
Ways that turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown
They're dropping like flies
In a suburban house
From a lack of anything
Anything to keep their hands in
And the town keeps screaming
From a lonely hill
Another lack of people
Those who never will
Ways that turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown
This is the voice of someone
Calling from a lonely hill
For the hard of hearing
For those who never will
Ways that turn and turn
Which is what we'd learn
As suffering believers
In the book of Badgeman Brown
Hanging Over
I'm alive and can breathe the air
I can hurt you
I can float up here
So soft and tingling
You can't catch me
I'm floating away
I woke up
I'm getting up with nothing on my mind
I went down the stairs
With a pain in my head
I should never have got out of bed
Then everything shattered
Just at the point that it mattered
Aha
I'm alive I can breathe the air
I can hurt you
I can fall down there
Right into you your mind
Don't put it around
You can't catch me
And carried away
Then everything shattered
Just at the pint that it mattered
Aha
I woke up, I woke up every day
There is nothing, nothing to say
Halfway down the stairs
I get a pain in my chest
I should never got out of bed
Peach
Chemical waste
Best part of the peach
You're always the way you are
What of that going to close you in
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha
A gun in your pocket
And hair in a locket
Around your neck
From the girl you once loved
Where is she now, you've gone crazy
You've got a gaping hole in your head
I'd let the birds nest there instead
Aha
When The Cows Come Home
Good morning
Wake up
Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
Stuff vitamin pills down you half guarantee
A kiss and cuddle with the lucky girl
You get fed and watered
Makes your hair curl
And when the day draws in
You put on a record
Put on something gentle
And wait for the cows to come home all your life
Wake up a little voice says
Do you eagerly
You mustn't let yourself sink financially
Don't listen to the accusation that you're tight
You could be the first man on your street to get it right
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
For once it's a good time
And wait for the cows to come home all your life
Wake up with purpose and polite efficiency
So you get fed and watered with good company
And when the day draws in
You go into waltz time
For once it's a good time
And wait for the cows to come home all your life
Maggie May
Wake up Maggie
I think I've got something to say to you
It's late September
And I really should be back at school
I know I keep you amused
But feel I'm being abused
Oh, Maggie I couldn't have tried any more
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
And that's what really hurts
All I needed was a friend to lend a guiding hand
It's learning to a lover and
Mother what a lover you wore me out
All you do is wreck my bed
And in the morning kick me in the head
Oh, Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You led me away from home
Just to save you from being alone
You stole my heart
I couldn't leave you if I tried
I suppose I could collect my books and go back to school
I'll steal my daddy's cue
And make a living out of playing pool
I'll find myself a rock n roll band
That needs a helping hand
Oh, Maggie I wish I'd never seen your face
You made a first class fool out of me
But I'm blind as a fool can be
You stole my heart
But I love you anyway
Es Schmect
Looking out for number 1
Conversation, daily routine
It's beautiful but neurotic
And in the future it will be the same
Looking out for number 1
Conversation, daily routine
It's beautiful but hypnotic
And in the future it will be the same
In the future it will be the same
Waltzing on the autobahn
There is no cause for alarm
It's a neurotic thought but you thought it
And in the future it will be the same
In the future it will be the same
Fried
Oh you are so very strange
Sometimes I think you've gone insane
Twisted hearts you've gone insane
In this giddy world
Couldn't you begin to go
Where odd lines we hardly know
Couldn't you put in a goal
Just for me
Did I say I want to know
Talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own
Oh I would like to get in your head
Just to see if you are dead
Oh I'd like to get into that pretty head
And it would amuse me just to see
How you feel about me
How you feel about always getting fried
Did I say I want to know
We're talking about a goal
Would you please leave me alone
Can't you see I want to be on my own
Threadneedle Street
The time has come
Not to be cautious
You must be careful not to make mistakes
For every heart flower
In twenty four
And operations froze
Faster than they did yesterday
And the landing right on your side
They won't be much of a problem
Then passed Smith
There is a rise
When everybody's asleep at home
He becomes nervous
And says a change
Today in future
Watch the markets move from the screen
In a pocket in a grey flannel suit
Re tomorrow's crash today
And check your pulse
Waste metals crawling to the kerb
And softs dropped in a summer term
Sugars melted in the mouth
Of a broken home
If we knew a better option
She sleeps for a while
And it could be a long time before he thinks again
And then he looks at the papers, and looks again
Today futures
Got Yer!
Look at him, grumpy old man
You sour old bedpan
He's got a fly between his ears
It catches life
And buzzes in my head
It's a long time isn't it
Fumes of life
People are bleeding loose in here
Got yer!
Theme From An Imaginary Film
What if I told you I love you
What if I called you with rhyme
In this world there's nothing left
Well nothing that's new
What if I told you without you
Loving is simply a lie
Although she moves into the night
Oh tell my you're mine
Please say it's true
Oh, shame it's over
I was the light and the days of them all
Well push me over
I'm flat on my back but I'm having a ball
And just look who's laughing
What if I flew like a dove dear
What if I wooed you in rhyme
There's nothing left
Nothing that's good left for me now
Oh, I'll just go and sleep with strangers
I'll live like a lord in a tower
Cos in the city there's too much air
That I can't dream at night
Well not anymore
Oh, shame it's over
I'ts been such fun and we had a ball
Well push me over
But I'll be the last of people to fall
Well just look who's laughing
Oh, shame it's over
How like a cow bloated on grass
Well push me over
Me on my back and you on your arse
Such a shame it's all over
There are so few days left to grasp
So push me over
Me on my back and you on your lazy arse
Well just look who's laughing
one of those blur pages
