"Street Spirit (Fade Out)"

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me

I can feel their blue hands touching me

All these things into position

All these things we'll one day swallow wholeAnd fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate

These thoughts and the strain I am under

Be a world child, form a circle

Before we all go under

And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds

Scream as they fight for life

I can feel death, can see its beady eyes

All these things into position

All these things we'll one day swallow whole

And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love

IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE

Bloom

Open your mouth wide

The universal sigh

And while the ocean blooms

It's what keeps me alive

So why does it still hurt?

Don't blow your mind with why

I'm moving out of orbit

Turning in somersaults

I dive into those eyesJellyfish swim by

I will shake myself into your pocket

Invisible

Do what you want



Do what you want

I will sink and I will disappear

I will slip into the groove

And cut me off

Cut me off There's an empty space inside my heart

Where the weeds take root

And now I'll set you free

I'll set you free

There's an empty space inside my heart


So now I'll set you free

I'll set you free

Slowly we unfurl as lotus flowers

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if, just to see what is

I can't kick your habit

Just to feel your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart

We will shake and we'll be quiet as mice

And while the cat is away

Do what we want

Do what we want

There's an empty space inside my heart


So now I'll set you free

I'll set you free

'Cause all I want is the moon upon a stick

Just to see what if, just to see what is

The bird lights float into my room

Slowly we unfurl as lotus flowers

'Cause all I want is the earth upon a stick

I dance around the pit, the darkness is beneath

I can't kick your habit

Just to feed your fast ballooning head

Listen to your heart



The Daily Mail

the moon is a rock on a mountain

the lunatics have taken over the asylum

waiting on the rapture

singing we're here to keep your prices down

we'll feed you to the hounds

to the daily mail, to get up, together

you made a pig's ear, you made a mistake

paid off security and got through the gate

you got away with it but we lie in wait eeeh

ehhh eeeh

where's the truth what's the use

i'm hanging around lost and found

and when you're here innocent

fat chance, no plan

no regard for human life

you'll keep time, you've no right

you're fast to lose, you will lose

you jumped the queue, you're back again

president for life, love of all

the flies in the sky, the beasts of the earth

the fish in the sea have lost command

Jigsaw Falling Into Place

Just as you take my hand

Just as you write my number down

Just as the drinks arrive

Just as they play your favourite song

As your bad day disappears



No longer wound up like a spring

Before you've had too much

Come back in focus again

The walls are bending shape

You got a Cheshire cat grinAll blurring into one

This place is on a mission

Before the night owl

Before the animal noises

Closed circuit cameras

Before you comatose

Before you run away from me

Before you're lost between the notes

The beat goes round and round

The beat goes round and round

I never really got there

I just pretended that I had

Words are blunt instruments

Words are a sawn off shotguns

Come on and let it out




Before you run away from me

Before you're lost between the notes

Just as you take the mic

Just as you dance, dance, dance

Jigsaw falling into place

So there is nothing to explain

You eye each other as you pass

She looks back and you look back

Not just onceNot just twice

Wish away your nightmare

Wish away the nightmare

You've got the light you can feel it on your back

A light you can feel it on your back

Jigsaw falling into place



I'll drown my beliefs

To have your babies

I'll dress like your niece

And wash your swollen feet

Just don't leave

Don't leave

I'm not living

I'm just killing time

Your tiny hands

Your crazy kitten smile

Just don't leave

Don't leave

And true love waits

In haunted attics

And true love lives

On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave

Don't leave

Just don't leave

Don't leave

The National Anthem

Everyone

Everyone around here

Everyone is so near

It's holding on

It's holding on

Everyone

Everyone is so near

Everyone has got the fear



It's holding on

It's holding on

O.K. Computer (lyrics)

(1997)

Airbag

In the next world war In a jackknifed juggernaut

I am born again

In the neon signScrolling up and downAn airbag saved my life

In an intastella burstI am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleepOf the innocent completely terrified

I am born again

In a fast german car I'm amazed that I survived

An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burstI am back to save the universe

In an interstellar burstI am back to save the universe

Paranoid AndroidPlease could you stop the noises, i'm trying to get some rest

From all the other unborn chicken voices in my headWhat's thatWhat's that

When i am king, you will be first against the wallWith your opinion which is of no consequence at all

What's that



What's that

Ambition makes you look pretty uglyKicking squeeling gucci little piggy

You don't remember You don't remember

Why don't you remember my name anymoreOff with his head manOff with his head man

Why won't he remember my name? i guess he goes

Rain downRain down

Come on rain downOn me

From a great heightFrom a great height

Rain downRain down

Come on rain downOn me

From a great heightFrom a great height

That's it sir, You're leaving,

The cackle 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

Subterranean Homesick Alien (Uptight)

The breath of the morningI keep forgetten

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

But up aboveAngels hover

Making home moviesFor the Folks back home

Of all these weird creatures



And lack of their spiritsTo hold themselves

And live full of secrets

They're all uptightUptightUptightUptightUptightUptightUptightUptight

I wish they'd swoop down in the country laneLate at night when i'm driving

Take me onboard of their beautiful shipShow me the world as I loved to see it

I tell all my friendsBut they never believed me

They think that I finally lost it completelyI show them the starsIn the meaning of lifeThey shot me awayBut i'll be all right

All right

You're all uptightUptightUptightUptightUptightUptight

UptightUptight

Uptight

Exit Music (For A Film)

Wake, from your dreams,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 breathingI 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 laughA spineless laugh

We hope your rules and wisdom choke youNow we're one in everlasting peace,

We hope that you choke, that you choke,We hope that you choke, that you choke,We hope that you choke, that you choke,

Let Down

Transport motorways and tramlinesStarting and then stopping

Taking off and landingThe emptiest of feelings

Disappointed people clinging onto bottlesAnd when it comes its so disappointing

Let down and hanging aroundCrushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed juices flowingWings twitch legs are going

Don't get sentimentalIt always ends up drivel

One dayI'm going to grow wingsHysterical and useless

Hysterical and



Let down againLet down againLet down again

You know You know where you are with You know where you are with

Floor collapses floatingBouncing back

And one day (you'll know where you are)I am gonna grow wings

A chemical reactionHysterical and useless

Hysterical an





Karma Police

Karma Police,

Arrest this man he,Talks too much,His voice is like a fridge,He's like a ditchy radio

Karma PoliceArrest this girl she,

Stares at me,As if she own the world,

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 me.

Karma Police,I've given all I can,

It's not enough,I've given all I can,

But we're still off the payroll.

This is what you get,This is what you get,This is what you get,

When you mess with me.

And for a minute there,I lost myself I lost myself,



And for a minute there,I lost myself I lost myself.

Fitter Happier

Fitter, happier more productiveComfortable

Not drinking too muchRegular exercise at the gym (3 days a week)

Getting on better with your associate employee contemporariesAt ease

Eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)A patient better driver

A safer car (baby smiling in back seat)Sleeping well



No paranoiaCareful to all animals (never washing spiders down the plughole)

Keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then)Will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in wall)

Favours for favoursFond but not in love

Charity standing ordersOn sundays ring road supermarket

(No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants)Car wash (also on sundays)No longer afraid of the dark

Or midday shadowsNothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate

Nothing so childishAt a better pace

Slower and more calculatedNo chance of escapeNow self-employed

Concerned (but powerless)An empowered and informed member of society

(pragmatism not idealism)Will not cry in public

Less chance of illnessTires that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat

A good memoryStill cries at a good filmStill kisses with saliva

No longer empty and franticLike a cat

Tied to a stickThat's driven into

Frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)Calm

Fitter, healthier more productiveA pig

In a cageOn antibiotics

Electioneering

I will stop,I will stop for nothing.Say the right things,We're electioneering.

I trust I can rely on your vote.

I go forwards, You go backwards,

Somewhere we will meet.

Draw your shieldsThrough their economics....

Yeah, 'cause it's just business,Who's the enemy this week?



Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?

I go forwards, You go backwards,

Somewhere we will meet.

Doing it all, doing it all.

Climbing Up The Walls

I am the key to the lock in your houseThat keeps your toys in the basement

And if you get too far You'll only see my reflection

I am your face when she sleeps tonightI am the pick in the ice

Do not cry or hit the alarmWe are friends til 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 better when the light is off It's always better on the outsideThe crack of your waning smile

15 blows to the skull

So tuck the kids in safe tonightAnd shut the eyes in the cupboard,

Do not cry out or hit the alarm You'll get the loneliest that

Either way you turn,I'll be there

Open up your skull,I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the wallsClimbing up the walls

No Surprises

A heart that's full up like a landfillA job that slowly kills youBruises that won't heal.

You were so tired, happy,Bring down the government, they don't speak for us.

I'll take the quiet life, a handshake, some carbon monoxide.



No alarms and no surprises,No alarms and no surprises,No alarms and no surprises,

Silent,Silent,

This is my final hit, 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 SarahKill me again....with love.

It's gonna be a glorious day.

Pull me out of the aircrash,Pull me out of the lake,

Cause I'm your superheroWe are standing on the edge

The head of state has called for me by nameBut i don't have time for himIt's gonna be a glorious dayI feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash,Pull me out of the lake,

Cause I'm your superheroWe are standing on the edge

We are standing on the edge

The Tourist

It barks at no one elseLike it's seen a ghost

I guess it seen the sparks a flowingNo one else would know

Hey man slow down, slow downIdiot slow down, slow down



Sometimes i get overchargedThat's when you see sparks

You ask me where the hell i'm going?At thousand feet per second

4. Backdrifts

We're rotten fruit We're damaged goods What the hell, we've got nothing more to lose One gust and we

will probably crumble We're backdrifters This far but no further I'm hanging off a branch I'm teetering

on the brink Oh honey sweet So full of sleep I'm backsliding You fell into our arms You fell into our arms

We tried but there was nothing we could do Nothing we could do All evidence has been buried All tapes

have been erased But your footsteps give you away So you're backtracking Ah ah ah You fell into our

arms You fell into our arms We tried but there was nothing we could do Nothing we could do You fell

up in the clouds and i can't and i can't come down i can watch but not take part where i end and where

9. There There

in pitch dark i go walking in your landscape. broken branches trip me as i speak. just because you feel it

doesnt mean it's there. just because you feel it doesnt mean it's there. there's always a siren singing you

to shipwreck. (don't reach out, don't reach out) steer away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster.

were cheering and waving cheering and waving twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis but it got

edited fucked up strangled, beaten up used as a photo in Time magazine buried in a burning black hole

in Devon "i don’t know why i feel so tongue-tied don’t know why i feel so skinned alive." My thoughts

are misguided and a little naive I twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis you should put me in a

13. Scatterbrain

I'm walking out in a force ten gale. birds thrown around, bullets for hail. the roof is pulling off by itsfingernails. your voice is rapping on my window sill yesterday's headlines blown by the wind. yesterday's

people end up scatterbrain. then any fool can easy pick a hole. (I only wish I could fall in) a moving target

in a firing range. somewhere I'm not scatterbrain. somewhere I'm not scatterbrain. lightning fuse

powercut. scatterbrain
