oh banana co
we really love you and we need you
and oh banana co
would really love to believe you

but everything's on the ground
we gotta dig it up somehow

oh she said no go
she said she liked it she's seen you
but oh banana co
she knows if you die then we all do

everything's burning down
we gotta put it out somehow

bishop's robes

dressed in bishop's robes
terrifies me still
in bishop's robes
bastard headmaster

i'm not going back

children talk
to kill
to tear themselves to bits
on playing fields

dressed in bishop's robes

i'm not going back

how can you be sure?

seen all
good things and bad
rolling down the hill
and all the money i owe
to my friends

when i'm like this
how can you be smiling
singing

how can you be sure?

if you
walk out the door
will i see you again
if so much of me lies
in your eyes

when i'm like this
how can you be smiling
singing

how can you be sure?

i don't want you
anymore

india rubber

did it all for you to say
you never wanted me that way
now the dogs have had their meat
i think i'll go plug in the mains

i tumble like a clown
before you burn in hell
i suffocate myself
into your hands

when you spare a make-up smile
i'm instantly your biggest fan
how was i to know
you'd practised it before

i tumble like a clown
before you burn in hell
i suffocate myself
into your hands

killer cars

too hard on the breaks again
what if these breaks just give in
what if there's someone else in the way
what if there's someone overtaking
i'm going out for a little drive
and it could be the last time i see you alive
there could be an idiot on the road
the only kick in life is pumping his steel

wrap me in the back of the trunk
pack with foam and blind drunk
they won't ever take me alive
cause they all drive

don't die on the motorway
the moon would freeze the plants would die
i couldn't cope if you crashed today
all the things i forgot to say
i'm going out for a little drive
and it could be the last time i see you alive
there could be an idiot on the road
the only kick in life is pumping his steel

wrap me in the back of the trunk
pack with foam and blind drunk
they won't ever take me alive
cause they all drive

killer cars

lewis [mistreated]

bumped out again
buy early business friend
the smell of fear is thicker than you think

don't do it

change seem to fit
in the end you just feel sick
and then you choke on an anesthetic

don't do it

lewis save yourself the pain
you'll never get there
lewis save yourself the pain
it never really matters here

we never noticed
we never understood
you just get crushed to fit
you never even smile

it's the best it's the best,
it's the best day of your life

i don't wanna talk about lewis

lozenge of love

i am gone
everybody's waiting
and these fruit
they still taste of poison
i won't be alone
when you're running in me
i can't stay
like i'm somewhere always
i need more
a restless body cracks and rolls
i won't have the strength
when you're running in me

maquilladora

here it comes
i can feel the hills exploding
exploding gracefully
blowing out the freeway
here it comes

grass is green at the edge of the bubble
beautiful gets into beautiful trouble
it seems to fall out of the sky
and come down on you
oh baby burn

fast die younger
burns rubber useless rubber
from england
good times
hide behind
just swallow your guilt and your crutches

blue and white birds stop and hide on the pedal
interstate five walk straight down the middle
it seems to fall out of the sky
and come down on you
oh baby burn

molasses

shake hands genocide molasses
jet powered caravans molasses
i'm too gone
you're still blue
rent free earthquake zone molasses

i need someone else's glasses
starving waitresses in plaster
fat houseflies
gentle sighs
we've been stitched up molasses

permanent daylight

the easiest way to sleep at night
is to carry on believing i don't exist

the easiest way to sell your soul
is to carry on believing we don't exist

it must be hard
with your head on backwards

punchdrunk lovesick singalong

i wrapped you inside my coat
but they came to find all of us
i didn't feel pain
cause no-one can touch me
now that i'm held in your smile

a beautiful girl
a beautiful girl can turn your world into dust

sell me a car that goes
sell me a house that stands
i never cared before

before

i stood in front of her face
when the first bullet
was shot

talk show host

i want to
i want to be someone else
or i'll explode

floating upon the surface
for the birds
the birds

you want me?
fucking well come and find me
i'll be waiting
with a gun and a pack of sandwiches

and nothing
nothing

you want me?
well come on and break the door down
you want me?
fucking come on and break the door down

i'm ready

the trickster

rust in the mountains
rust in the brain
the air is sacred here
in spite of your claim
up on the roof tops
out of reach
trickster is meaningless
trickster is weak
he's talking out the world

this is only halfway

i wanted you so bad
and i couldn't say
all things fall apart
we wanted out so bad
these things fall apart
he's talking out the world

this is only halfway

truant kids a can of
brick dust worms who do not
want to climb down from the
chestnut tree
long white gloves police
tread carefully escaped
from the zoo
the perfect child facsimile
he's talking out the world

this is only halfway

you never wash up after yourself

i must get out once in awhile
everything is starting to die
dust settles
the worms dig
the spiders crawl over the bed

i must get out once in awhile
i eat all day and now i'm fat
yesterday's meal is hugging the plates
you never wash up after yourself
