Little Wonder

Stinky weather fat
Shakey hand
Dopey morning Doc
Grumpy gnomes

Little wonder, then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder, you

Big screen dolls
Tits and explosions
Sleepy timer
Bashful but nude

Little wonder, then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder, you

Enter galactic
See me to be you
It's all in the tablets
Sneezy Bhutan

Little wonder, then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder, you

Mars happy nation
Sit on my karma
Dame meditation
Take me away

Little wonder, then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder, you

Looking for Sattelites

CHANT TWICE:
Nowhere
Shampoo
TV
Come back
Boy's own
Slim tie
Showdown
Can't stop

Where do we go from here?
There's something in the sky
Shining in the light
Spinning and far away

CHANT FOUR TIMES

CHORUS:
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Looking for satellites
Looking for satellites

Where do we go to now?
There's nothing in our eyes
As lonely as a moon
Misty and far away

CHANT FOUR TIMES

CHORUS

Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Satellite
Looking satellites
Looking satellites

Where do we go from here?

Battle for Britain (The Letter)

My, my, the time do fly
When it's in another pair of hands
And a loser I will be
For I've never been a winner in my life

I got used to stressing pain
I used the sucker pills to pity for the self
Oh, it's the animal in me
But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm

On a better day, I'll take you by the hand
And I'll walk you through the doors

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you

My, my, but time do fly
When it's in another pair of pants
And illusion I will be
For I've never been a sinner, la di da

Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff
It's the rain before the storm
Don't you let my letter get you down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you let my letter get you down, down, down, down
Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you
Down, down, down, down, down, down

Seven Years in Tibet

Are you okay?
You've been shot in the head
And I'm holding your brains
An old woman said
So I drink in the shadows
Of an evening sky
See nothing at all

CHORUS:
I'll praise to you
Nothing ever goes away
I'll praise to you
Nothing ever goes
I'll praise to you

The stars look so special
The snow looks so old
Frail form is drifting
Beyond the yogazone
Try to question the mountains
Why pigs can fly
It's nothing at all

CHORUS

Dead Man Walking

He swivels his head
Tears his eyes from the screen
As his past puts him back in Atlantic City
There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell
Is it all just human disguise?
As I walk down the aisle

CHORUS:
Background vocals:
Gone gone gone spinning slack through reality
Dance my way falling up through the years
Till I swivel back round when I fly fly fly
Losing breath from the water when I'm gone gone gone
Vocals:
And I'm gone gone gone
Now I'm older than movies
Let me dance away
Now I'm wiser than dreams
Let me fly fly fly
While I'm touching tomorrow
And I know who's there
When silhouettes fall
And I'm gone
Like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone through a crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking

Three old men dancing under the lamplight
Shaking their sex and their bones
And the boys that we were
An alien nation in therapy
Sliding naked and new
Like a bad tempered child
On a rain slicked street

CHORUS

And I'm gone
And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through the crack in the past
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking

And I'm gone gone gone
Let me dance dance dance
And I'm gone gone gone
Let me dance dance dance

And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through a crack in the past
And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels
And I'm gone, through a crack in the past

Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man walking
Like a dead man
Like a dead man walking

Telling Lies

Gorgeous girls are bound to meet
To talk of stars and kings and feet
Through the chromosomes of space and time
Me I'm fast like bad infection
Gasping for my resurrection
Swear to me in times of war and stress

CHORUS:
Telling lies, telling lies
Telling lies, telling lies
Telling lies
Ooh, ah, visionary
Ooh, ah, missionary
Telling lies
Feels like something's gonna happen this year
Telling lies
Ooh, ah, visionary
Ooh, ah, missionary
Telling lies
Feels like something's gonna happen this year
Telling lies

Shadow falls in shrinking smiles
See me poised at the happy games
Standing in the mouth of all that's pure
Come straggling in your tattered remnants
You'll come to me in tears and blame
I'm your future, I'm tomorrow, I'm the end

CHORUS

Telling lies
Ooh, ah, ooh
Ooh, ah, ooh
Ooh, ah, ooh
Feels like something's going to happen this year
Telling lies
Ooh, ah, ooh
Feels like something's going to happen this year
Telling lies
Ooh, ah, ooh
Feels like something's going to happen this year
Telling lies
Ooh, ah, ooh
Telling lies
Ooh, ah, ooh
Feels like something's going to happen this year

The Last Thing You Should Do

VERSE:
What have you been doing to yourself
What have you been doing to yourself
What have you been doing to yourself
It's the last thing you should do
Nobody laughs anymore
Nobody laughs anymore
Nobody laughs anymore
It's the worst thing you can do

CHORUS:
Save the last dance for me
Catch the last bus with me
Give the last kiss to me
It's the safest thing to do
Yeah
Yeah

VERSE

CHORUS

I'm Araid of Americans

Johnny's in America, low tech's at the wheel
No one needs anyone, they don't even just pretend
Johnny's in America

CHORUS:
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afraid of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't...
Johnny's in America

Johnny wants a brain
Johnny wants to suck on a coke
Johnny wants a woman
Johnny wants to think of a joke
Johnnny's in America

CHORUS

Johnny's in America
Johnny looks up at the stars
Johnny combs his hair and
Johnny wants pussy and cars
Johnny's in America

CHORUS

God is an American
I'm afraid of Americans
I'm afriad of the world
I'm afraid I can't help it
I'm afraid I can't...

CHORUS

Law (Earthlings on Fire)

I don't want knowledge, I want certainty
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty

In the street a man shouts out loud
A wallet drops and money flies into the midday sun

With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes

Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire

CHORUS:
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground
Sure I get a little bit afraid

Sometimes

Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire
Earthlings on fire

I don't want knowledge, I want certainty
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty

In a house a man drops dead
As he hits the floor he sighs
"What a morning"

CHORUS TWICE

Sometimes

Earthlings on fire

Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes

I don't want knowledge, I want certainty
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty
Oh I get a little bit afraid
Sometimes

I don't want knowledge, I want certainty
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty
I don't want knowledge
