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 opinions which are 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 man.
why won' t he remember my name?""
"i guess he does_"
rain down come on rain down on me
from a great height. from a great
height
from a great height. from a great
height
rain down come on rain down on me
from a great height from a great.
"that's it sir you're leaving"
the dust and the screaming

god loves his children.

Subterranean
homesick alien
The breath of the morning i keep forgetting.
The smell of the warm summer air.
I
live
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
their secrets.
They're all up tight.
I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane,
late at night when i'm driving.
Take me
in board their beautiful space ship,
show me the world as i'd love to
see it,
I'd tell all my friends but
they'd never believe, 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'd be all right.
i'm just up-tight.
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 breathing
i can't do this alone
sing us a song
a song to keep us warm
there's such a big 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
we hope that you choke that you
choke
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. sentimental
drivel.
clinging onto bottles. when it comes
it's 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 am 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. 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.
Karma
Police

a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics
Electioneering
i will stop
i will stop at nothin.

when electioneering. i trust i can
rely on your vote.

riot shields.

cattle prods and the IMF.
i trust i can rely on your vote.
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
you'll only see my reflection
i am her face when she sleeps
tonight?
i am the pick in the ice do not
cry out or hit the alarm
we are friends till we die
either way you turn i'll be there
open your skull
i'll be there climbing the walls
it's always best when the light
is off
it's always better on the outside
in the crack of your waning smile
15 blows to the skull
so tuck the kids in safe tonight
and shut the eyes in the cupboard
do not cry out or hit the panic
button hit the alarm
you'll get the
loneliest feeling that
eitherway 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 look so tired unhappy. bring
down the government. they don't .
they don't work for us.
i'll take a 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 fit. my final bellyache.
with
no alarms and no surprises. no alarms
and no surprises.

garden.
no alarms and no surprises. no alarms
and
no surprises. no alarms and no surprises
please.
