We're Much Preferred Customers - Back to the top

WE'RE MUCH PREFERRED CUSTOMERS
WELCOME TO PLANET POD,
WHERE INSECTS SOUND LIKE LASERS
AND MEN WHO WEAR ABRASIVE HATS,
WITH EYEBALLS JUDGE LIKE JURIES,
AND SKIN THAT FLAKES LIKE ANCIENT PAINT,
SUFFOCATE CONTENTMENT
BIRDS CREEP OVER TIN ROOFS
LIKE CRIMINALS WITH TAP SHOES

STAIN THE GLASS WITH WINDOWS,
EXTORTIONATE AND COLD STARE
WE'RE MUCH PREFERRED CUSTOMERS,
AND HONESTLY I DON'T CARE

YOU'LL GET A CHANCE, ANOTHER CHANCE, ONE MORE SUN

DRAPE THE CONCRETE CURTAINS, OVER EMPTY SPACES
AGE IS JUST A NUMBER DRAWN ON EMPTY FACES...SUN...SUN...

Somewhere Down The Barrel - Back to the top

SOMEWHERE FROM THE MORTAR
THEY SAVED YOU FROM FAR AWAY LABELS
ETERNITY MEANS NOTHING
BUT A SIGN ON A BRIDGE

WHEN EVERYONE'S A STRANGER
THEY CALL FOR YOU BY YOUR FIRST NAME
AND LAUGH AT JOKES YOU ONCE MADE
WHEN YOU WERE A KID

SOMEWHERE DOWN THE BARREL
LIES A BULLET THAT I CAN'T KEEP
AND IN THESE WATERS I'M WADING FOR A REASON
AFTER ALL, IT'S IN MY HEAD
I'M NOT A SLAVE TO A DESPERATE LUST
AND IN THESE WATERS I'M WAITING FOR A REASON AFTER ALL ...

SCREAMING LIMITATIONS
FALL SILENT ON NEW YORK CORNERS
A TERRORIST'S A PRISONER, AND A TOURIST A THIEF
WHEN PAINTINGS SEEM LIKE BARGAINS
BUT THEY'RE NOTHING BUT WALLPAPER
I'M PLAGUED BY SMALL TOWN FASCISTS
LIKE A RASH ON MY SKIN

SOMEWHERE DOWN THE BARREL
LIES A BULLET THAT I CAN'T KEEP AND
I'VE BEEN SEARCHING FOR SOMETHING MORE THAN DISTANCE
AFTER ALL, IT'S IN MY HEAD
I'M NOT A SLAVE TO AN UNBORN TRUST
AND IN THESE WATERS I'M WAITING FOR A REASON AFTER ALL...AFTER ALL...AFTER ALL...

NAH NAH NAH NAH NAH ...

Horror With Eyeballs - Back to the top

BEHIND THIS GOLD PICKET FENCE LIES A WHOLE INSTITUTE
WHERE WALLPAPER PAINTERS SCRAPE AND SCARECROWS SWELL WATERLOGGED,
NOW I GOT DEAD TIME ON MY HANDS
FOR FEEDING MY ANIMALS,

ALL OF THIS TIME ON MY HANDS
SO FAR HAS GONE TO FEEDING MY ANIMALS

ON THIS DARK KISSED DAY THE LIGHT SHINES THROUGH ONLY YOU
OR IS IT BECAUSE YOUR SILHOUETTE IS YOUR FRAME LIKE AN EMPTY WINDOW,
NOW I GOT COLD TIME UP MY SLEEVE, I'M FEELING DESTITUTE,

ALL OF THIS TIME ON MY HANDS
SO FAR HAS GONE TO FEEDING MY ANIMALS

I FEEL ROOT VEGETABLE! AM I DEAD?
OR BURIED ALIVE? I SLEEP WARM VELVET WAND,
BUY THE NIGHT ... I'M SELLING THE SUN, MY SKIN FEELS
SILKY SMOOTH NOW I'M BURIED IN MUD

ALL OF THIS TIME ON MY HANDS,
SO FAR HAS GONE TO FEEDING MY ANIMALS,
ALL OF THAT TIME I WAS DEAD,
LIMBLESS IN BED, SEDATED EXPERIMENT NA, NA, NA, NA

Lifting The Veil From The Braille - Back to the top

Instrumental

Forever And A Day - Back to the top

WAITING FOR THIS JURY TO UNWIND
COZ IT'S BEEN SO HARD WEARING MY HEART UP MY SLEEVE
WORDS WON'T SAY THE SOUNDS THAT I CAN HEAR
A THOUSAND SUNSHINES ON RAINCLOUDS
THE TRUTH IS I'D BELIEVE AND BE

FOREVER AND A DAY
SO COLD WITHOUT YOU
FOREVER AND A DAY
LONELY WITHOUT YOU
WHENEVER YOU'RE AWAY
I’M STARTING TO DOUBT YOU
FOREVER AND A DAY
SO COLD, SO COLD

TIME HAS NEVER BEEN A FRIEND OF MINE
BUT IT HAS OWED ME A FAVOUR
SINCE EVERYTHING WAS FINE
AND I'M DESPERATE CHANGE,
AS FAMILIAR AS THE MOON
I'M FEELING LONELY AND STABLE AND
IT'S BELIEVED THAT SOON I'LL BE

FOREVER AND A DAY

DAYS ARE FOLDING OVER NIGHT
TURNING EMPTY PAGES
BUT I DON'T SEE NOTHING
IF I DON'T SEE YOU...

FOREVER AND A DAY
SO COLD WITHOUT YOU
FOREVER AND A DAY
LONELY WITHOUT YOU
WHENEVER YOU'RE AWAY
I'M STARTING TO DOUBT YOU
FOREVER AND A DAY
SO COLD, SO COLD

FOREVER AND A DAY
SO COLD, SO COLD
FOREVER AND A DAY
SO COLD, SO COLD (without you)

Thinking In Reverse - Back to the top

NOW THAT EVERYTHING'S IN PLACE, YOU'RE LINING UP THE PINS
AND NEEDLES DOWN THE LONGEST TRAIL,
YOU'VE GOT THE ANSWER BUT IT LASTS
AS LONG AS YOU CAN SMILE BUT PRETTY SOON YOUR CHEEKS WILL HURT

I'M NOT TRYING TO MAKE THINGS WORSE
BUT YOU'RE THINKING IN REVERSE
NOW THAT EVERYTHING IS NEVER TOO MUCH...

TAKE THE STANDARD LINE AND TURN
IT BACK UPON ITSELF TO SEE WHAT HURT IS ONCE YOU'VE FELT
COZ WE'VE BEEN NUMB LIKE CORRIDORS
AND DRY LIKE TUMBLEWEED,
THIS HOSPITAL'S MY FAVOURITE CHURCH...

AND I GOT IT ALRIGHT...
TO SEE WHAT I CAN SEE IS TAKING OVER ME.

Paris Circa 2007slash08 - Back to the top

Instrumental

Young Man, Old Man - Back to the top

I'VE GOT A CLEARSPOT, A DEVILISH PSALM
BUT NOBODY'S HOME TO FIX THE ALARM NO
DISGRUNTLED WOMAN, ENCHANTED STAINS
WE'RE TEMPTED BY GOD BUT NOTHING REMAINS

HEY BOYS WE SPEAK BETTER THAN YOUNG MEN
BUT WILL BE BETTER THAN AN OLD MAN, HONEY, YOU'LL SEE
HEY BOYS WE SPEAK BETTER THAN YOUNG MEN
BUT WILL BE BETTER THAN AN OLD MAN, HONEY, YOU'LL SEE

MY FAITH IS HUNGRY LIKE WHALE FROZEN TOES,
STEAL CAP FINGERS AND NOBODY KNOWS
IT'S RAINING CONCRETE A TUNNEL WIND BLOWS
STONES ON MY COLUMN THE PATH THAT I CHOSE

NA NA NA NA... (KIDS SING: YOU AIN'T BETTER THAN THE REST)

Aaängry Megaphone Man - Back to the top

INDECISION HAS BEEN MADE,
ERASE THE LINE OF SIGHT,
AND FOR EVERY SHOT THAT'S SLUNG
EVAPORATE THE LIGHT,
WITHIN A TAR LIKE HOLD
BELIEVING WHAT WE'RE TOLD
AND THE EDGES START TO FRAY
BEFORE THE CENTRE FOLDS BETWEEN THE LIES
A DISTANT WHALE CRIES UNTIL THE SEA OVERFLOWS

ONCE UPON A TIME WE'D NEVER BEEN COLD
AND TIDALLY THE MESSAGE HAD BEEN SENT
THE FURY WOULD START AND FINALLY
THE WHALE IT WOULD REIGN
LIKE A KING ON A STORM CLOUD

LIKE THE WIND THROUGH AUTUMN LEAVES
YOU RAKE THE SHARDS OF LIGHT
AND EVERYTIME THEY STARE
YOU LOSE A LITTLE SIGHT TO SEA,
YOU'RE WINDING WILLOWS OVER TREES
UNTIL THE SEA OVERFLOWS

Sleep Well Tonight - Back to the top

SOME FOOLISH MAN DREAMT
THAT DREAMING HAD NO MEANING
AND LIFE IS QUITE SIMPLY
A SERIES OF ILLUSIONS ...

TONIGHT, SLEEP WELL TONIGHT
SOME RESTLESS THOUGHTS LINGER
LONG BEFORE THEY'RE DANGEROUS
AND LIFE IS QUITE SIMPLY
AND LIGHT IS QUITE SIMPLY
A SERIES OF INTRUSIONS ...

TONIGHT, SLEEP WELL TONIGHT
