LYRICS
You Cut Her Hair                                                       (back to top)

Time
Has coloured in
The black and white
Of your sin
So burn
Burn the flag
Rip it up
Bury the Rags

But I will find you still
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair

So live
Live long
To see her face
In everyone
And turn
Turn the page
Start again
Change your name

But I will find you still
Move in for the kill
You cut her hair


End of the World News (Dose Me Up)                 (back to top)

You wake up to the sound of alarms and you're
Driving your fabulous car
Listening to the music that reminds you
You used to be young, you used to be young

And now you're searching, for a sign with your name
To define you the king of the game
What will you do when there's nothing left
For you to earn and for you to learn

So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

And every culture has it's own magazine
And information takes the place of your dreams
Finding ways to fill up the silence
But it's all that you need... turn on your TV

So dose me up, once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

This is the end of the world news
This is the end of the world news... sponsored by god

So dose me up once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time

So dose me up once is not enough
I can still see the ground
And from this high rise view looking down on you
I'm not the one wasting my time


Second Law                                                               (back to top)

Tell all my friends
I have gone to the moon
Tell all my friends
I will write them soon
And tell them
If you see them
That I am better left alone

'Cos I'm living up here where the air is thin
And where gravity don't bring you down
Yeah I'm living up here and I'm watching
your universe cooling down

I spend my days beneath a perspex dome
I think that I have finally come home

So tell them
If you see them
That I am better left alone

'Cos I'm living up here where the air is thin
And where gravity don't bring you down
Yeah I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down

Yeah I'm living up here where the air is thin
And where gravity don't bring you down
I'm living up here and I'm watching your universe cooling down


Bloodless                                                                      (back to top)

This train don't stop at the stations of the cross
No reasons left to believe
Trying to stay awake gave yourself a caffeine headache
To hide the taste of sleep

In choosing to forget you cut away the safety net that holds your heart, holds your heart
And you go in search of youth touching up your empire roots
But these days we don't know how to march
Satisfied with a knife in your spine you're bloodless

So tell me again what am I feeling? you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell?
I've got a feeling you don't know

We think that we're the ones, we're the bright unconquered suns
Wait a while, we'll watch the light grow stale
And we smell so very clean
but we're the oil in this machine... and this machine...
This machine is going wrong

So choose your sides when it comes to the fight you're bloodless
So tell me again what am I feeling? you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell?
I've got a feeling you don't know

You choose your side but in the fight I see your blood run white, your blood run white
And I've seen it all before and I see it again

So tell me again now, what am I feeling? you know me so well
So what am I feeling and how can you tell?
I've got a feeling you don't know

Draw Down The Stars                                             (back to top)

Coming back to the city
That I never quite leave
Picture you by the ocean
Picture me coughing into my sleeve

Like a snake eating snake you confuse me
Who's killer ? Who's captive ? Who's free ?
In a city that kills by constriction
Throw your streets around me and squeeze

And draw down the stars
Draw down the stars
What's in your heart?...Your Heart?

This flourescent night will divide us
And dissolve to a flickering screen.
And we all know each others secrets
things seen and not seen.

And draw down the stars
Draw down the stars
What's in your heart?...Your Heart?


One More Mile                                                           (back to top)

I feel the night is on your side
Shadows wait you when you rise
You hold the weight of every moment
Move no distance in your stride

And while you wallow in your wounds
You let the devils draw near
One more mile is all we have
You got nothing to fear

I feel the night is on your side
And I don't recognise this road
We sleep all day and walk all night
You're leading me too far from home

And he says pour another drink
And take a good look around
One more mile is all we have
Until the lost become the found

And by the firelight I see footprints
Shadows circle on the floor
And everything is so familiar
We have come this way before

Do I have the will
Do I
One More Mile
One More Mile

Take a good look around...take a good look around.

The Boy With The Bubblegun                             (back to top)

Welcome to the second reel, glad that you can make it
We thought your fate was sealed, it's not what we expected
But you punch above your weight and you're stronger than you look
And the ending's not the same, they changed it from the book

I'm the boy with the bubblegun
I'm taking aim
I cannot hit to hurt or cause you pain
If words could kill... I'd spell out your name

It's time to kill the king, it's written in the scripture
See what tomorrow brings, got to get a bigger picture
So forgive me, forgive me for I am born to be what I must be and I must be

The boy with the bubblegun, I'm taking aim
I cannot hit to hurt or cause you pain
If words could kill... I'd spell out your name
I'm the boy with the bubblegun... with work to do
If songs could kill this... one's for you


Hidden Camera Show                                              (back to top)

If you won't
Carry a gun
And if you won't
Learn to run

Hide from the world
It will come for you
You have no place in this time

And it's the cars on the highway
It's the drunks singing 'my way'
We're all caught in a hidden camera show
And it's the thrill of deception
It's the chill of rejection
In the faces of the people we don't know

If you love
Bury it deep
When you talk
Know that talk is cheap
Swallow your tounge
This is not your fight
It's braver sometimes just to run

And it's the cars on the highway
It's the drunks singing 'my way'
We're all caught in a hidden camera show
And it's the blink of a shutter
It's the hitman in the gutter
We're all caught in a hidden camera show
And I close my eyes
Turn my face to the sky
I won't smile for your... hidden camera show

A & B Song                                                               (back to top)

A say's he's glad to be here
B's chasing storms in the lightning state
Where everyday above ground is a good day
And life is great
A's got cocaine body
B's got a benylin brain
A knows he's gonna be somebody
B don't believe in fame

And all
Our time
Slips away

And all
Our time
Slips away

A's got a girl for each season
B's got a mail order bride
A knows he's headed for salvation
B's afraid to die
If hell is in the detail
Babe I'm a microscope
I know i'll live to see you swinging
Given enough rope

And all
Our time
Slips away

And all
Our time
Slips away

A's growing tired of conversation
He's ready for his final scene
B's whistling hotel california
And still living out the dream
Here we are together
Let's roll the dice just one more time
Odd number says we walk away now
Even says we die...don't wanna die

And all
Our time
Slips away

And all
Our time
Slips away


Language Of Fools                                                      (back to top)

I cannot use this language of fools to communicate with you
The things that you say to mark the time of the day are calculated to bemuse
And hey yeah...hey hey yeah

Won't you hide me, won't you hold my life, let me have this time
And lie here while i close my eyes, hold me through this night

One good day will lead the way for another, my love
Living here things are never so clear you discover my love
And hey yeah...hey hey yeah

Won't you hide me, won't you hold my life, let me have this time
And lie here while i close my eyes, hold me through this night
Hide me, won't you hold my weight, hold me through this night


Untitled                                                                          (back to top)

Get me out, get me out, get me out of this room, let me see
Cut it out, cut it out, rip it out from this wound, let me bleed
But wait now, wait now for me...won't you...

Shut it out, shut it out, black it out with the night, to put me at ease won't you...
Talk it out, talk it out, yell out to the ghosts that stalk the street
But wait now, wait now for me...

And we'll sail on the high tide, drift on the open sea
I've been waiting for so long

Take my hand, take my hand, kiss me softly, then take your leave..won't you..
Sit down, sit down, take the weight of me, let me grieve
But wait now, wait now for me

And we'll sail on the high tide, drift on the open sea
I've been waiting for so long

But wait now, wait now for me

And we'll sail on the high tide, drift on the open sea
I've been waiting for so long

Sao Paulo Rain                                                            (back to top)

There's always a party on funeral row
Where the cross flashes red to the street
And gasoline dreams of girls in blue jeans
He's grazing the surface of sleep

The vultures on main street are eyeing you up
Calculating the wait of your bones
And midnight graffiti appears on your door
So we all can sleep safe in our homes

And the storms in the distance hold no rain
And i feel my resistance giving way
Shelter me from this sky
Dance with me one last time
Sao paulo rain
Sao paulo rain

Do not disturb this blood red earth
There's giants sleeping beneath
And carnival queens on their deathbed scenes
All go through the motions of grief
Take another hit
Let the bottle slip through your fingers and
Break like a promise made
The day i remember
My heart i will keep
My voice i surrender
And i will not speak to lie

We were so alive
We were so alive
Shelter me from this sky
Dance with me one last time
Sao paulo rain
Sao paulo rain

I Ain't Scared Of Lightning                                       (back to top)

I aint scared of lightning
Come on and do your worst
If they gave degrees
For cheating destiny
Then man
I got a first

No I aint scared of lightning
It's the same old empty threat
I've been standing proud
Beneath the gathering cloud
And man
I ain't dead yet
No I ain't scared of lightning
And thunder never killed
I was born in a summer storm
I live there still
Yeah I was born in a summer storm
I live there still
