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 intastella burst 
I am back to save the universe!! 

in a deep deep sleep 
of the innocent (completely terrified) 
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 
huh? what's that?? 

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?? 

ambition makes you look very ugly 
kicking squealing gucci little piggy 

you don't remember 
why don't you remember my name? 
off with his head 
off with his head 
why don't you remember my name 
i guess he does... 

rain down 
rain down 
come on rain down 
on me 
from a great height 
from a graeeaa haaaeeeeeiii. haaaaeeeeeiiii 
height 
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 (Uptight) 

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 wierd 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 the country lane 
late at night when i'm driving 
take me onboard their beautiful ship 
show me the weird 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 up-tight. 
  
  
  

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 

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 

let down again 

you know 
you know where you are with 
you know where you are with 
floor collapses floating 
bouncing back 
and one day (you'll know where you are) 
I am gonna 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 
  
  

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 my head, 
fifteen blows to your mind. 

So tuck the kids in safe tonight, 
shut the eyes in the cupboard, 
do not cry out or 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. 
  
  
  

No Surprises 

  

A heart that's full up like a landfill 
a job that slowly kills you 
bruises that won't heal. 
You were so tired, happy, 
bring down the government,they don't, they don't speak for her. 
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, such a pretty garden. 

No alarms and no surprises, 
No alarms and no surprises, 
No alarms and no surprises please. 
  
  
  

Lucky 

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 

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 
no-one else would know 

sometimes i get overcharged 
that's when you see sparks 
you ask me where the hell I'm going?? 
at a thousand feet per second 

hey man slowdown. idiot slowdown.
