.. and here's what Brian had to say about some of the tracks on WYIN:
Pure Morning -- "It's a celebration of friendship with women, kind of immortalizing a couple of my friends. It's also about that time of the day when the sun's coming up and you're coming down; and everybody else is getting ready to go to work and you're feeling incredibly dislocated from the rest of the world; and all you really want is for a friend to be there to put their arms around you and help you ease into sleep."
Brick Shithouse -- "A disembodied soul floats overhead, observing the living. It's a ghost story, about somebody watching their lover make love to the person who killed them."
You Don't Care About Us -- "It's about an ex-lover having a furious rant at me for not caring and being wrapped up in my own head. Unfortunately, that's how I used to conduct my relationships: I was always imagining the end just as it was beginning."
Scared Of Girls -- "It's an investigation into male heterosexual promiscuity. Do male flirts do it because they really love women or actually because they're actually scared with women and themselves. I'd say that they are scared of girls."
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breasts and all the rest,
A friend who’s dressed in leather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who’ll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she’s pressed she will undress,
And then she’s boxing clever,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who’ll tease is better,
Our thoughts compressed,
Which makes us blessed,
And makes for stormy weather,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend who bleeds is better,
My friend confessed she passed the test,
And we will never sever,
Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
My Japanese is better,
And when she’s pressed she will undress,
And then she’s boxing clever,
A friend in needs a friend indeed,
A friend with weed is better,
A friend with breast and all the rest,
A friend who's dressed in leather

Another memory .. scarred
If it's a bad case, then you accelerate,
You're in the getaway .. car
You don't care about us .. oh oh
You don't care about us .. oh oh
You don't care about us
Another memory .. scarred
You're at the wrong place, you're on the back page,
You're in the getaway .. car
You don't care about us .. oh oh
You don't care about us .. oh oh
You don't care about us
It's your age, It's my rage
You're just confiscating, you're exasperating
This degeneration, mental masturbation
Think I'll leave it all behind, save this bleeding heart of mine
It's a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
It's a matter of trust
Because ..
You don't care about us ..
You don't care about us ..
You don't care about us ..
You don't care about us
It's your age, It's my rage
vMolko/Placebov
Always coming second best. Pictures of my lover's chest
Get through this night, there are no second chances
This time I might
To ask the sea for answers
Always falling to the floor, softer than it was before
Dog boy - media whore, it's who the hell you take me for
Give up this fight, there are no second chances
This time I might
To ask the sea for answers
These bonds are shackle free, wrapped in lust and lunacy
Tiny touch of jealousy, these bonds are shackle free
This time I might
To ask the sea for answers
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
This time. To ask the sea for answers
vMolko/Placebov
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side
Tick - tock
Tick - tick - tick - tick - tick - tock
And every time you vent your spleen,
I seem to lose the power of speech,
Your slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen,
You never see the lonely me at all
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I ..
Fall
Without you, I'm mothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I'm nothing at all
vMolko/Placebov
Heaven in a tourniquet
The after life to keep your eyes on
Bitter pill you take you take today
With expert levitation forward,
Polished to the nth degree,
It takes it's smile from every children,
You take the beating
Any means in your horizon
Every mink walks two by two,
We gamble to be born again
You know I never wanted to
With expert levitation forward,
Polished to the nth degree,
It takes it's smile from every children,
You take the beating
The light divining,
The light defining,
The light divining,
The light dividing
Don't let me down,
Let me-he,
Let me down,
Don't let me,
Don't let me down,
Let me-he,
Let me down,
Let me
The light divining,
The light defining,
The light divining,
The light dividing
vMolko/Placebov
That could not make you stay
It's way to broke to fix
No glue, no bag of tricks
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl
Your smile would make me sneeze
When we were Siamese
Amazing grace in here
I'd pay to have you near
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl
Don't go and lose your face
At some stranger's place
And don't forget to breathe
And pay before you leave
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl
Lay me down, the lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl
vMolko/Campion/Placebov
You pucker up, our passion's spent
My hearts a tart, your body's rent
My body's broken, yours is spent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you
Sucker love, a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse,
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison come undone
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you
Every me and every you,
Every Me .. he
Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heavens sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort, calling late
Cuz there's nothing else to do,
Every me and every you
Every me and every you,
Every Me .. he
Every me and every you,
Every Me .. he
Like the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find,
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's here's mine
Something borrowed, something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you,
Every Me .. he
Every me and every you,
Every Me .. he

Never thought I'd do you the same
Never thought I'd fill with desire
Never thought I'd feel so ashamed
Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day, remember ..
My sweet prince, you are the one
My sweet prince
you are the one
Never thought I'd have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vain
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
Never thought you'd fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you'd go break the chain
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
You are the one
My sweet prince
My sweet prince

Crushed by the way that you cry
Cue to your face so forsaken
What a surprise
You try to break the mould
Before you get too old
You try to break the mould
Before you die
Stung by the look in your eye
Cue to your heart that is racing
What a surprise
You try to break the mould
Before you get too old
You try to break the mould
Before you die
Crushed by the way that you cry
Cue your face so forsaken
Say goodbye
Sing for your lover
Like blood from a stone
Sing for your lover
Who's waiting at home
If you sing when you're high
And you're dry as a bone
Then you must realise
That you're never alone
And you'll sing with the dead instead
You try and break the mould,
Before you get too old
You try and break the mould,
Before you die

The earth did open,
Swallow whole,

Was asking god to let her in,
Careenin',

Guaranteed in your bed,
I gotta place it on the rack,
Got a place inside it,
Got a place inside it,
Got a place inside it,
Did tour the world with MC5,
Careenin',
Careenin',
Careenin',
Where I kissed her on her thigh
Careenin',
Careenin',
Careenin',
Guaranteed in your bed,
I gotta place it on the rack,
Got a place inside it,
I'm a man a liar
Guaranteed in your bed,
I gotta place it on the rack,
Got a place inside it,
Got a place inside it,
Got a place inside it,
I'm a man a liar
Get into your bed,
I gotta place it on the rack,
Got a place inside it,
I'm a man a liar
Guaranteed in your bed,
I gotta place it on the rack,
I got a place inside it,
I'm a man a liar
Guaranteed in your bed,

Hey You, Hey You
Now it takes him all day just to get an erection
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all

Hey You, Hey You

Hey You, Hey You
Dreams of a place with a better selection
Hey You, Hey You
Still it takes him all day just to get an erection
Hey You,

Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all,
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all,
Things aren't what they seem
Makes no sense at all,
