1. Personal Holloway


Tune my weaker eye, spit white, hold the world up all day
She´s blue in the face again, paracetamol, sleep the darkness all away
And drinking kitchen paint to dye the winter I hope we´ll never see again

Deaf and dumb with the lights on, deaf and dumb with the lights on
Married by signs, married by signs, married by signs

A personal holloway, six months linen, it´s safe to say we are alone
Suburban suicide, watching night come amber, it´s all so temporary

Deaf and dumb with the lights on, deaf and dumb with the lights on
Married by signs, married by signs, married by signs

Move a little way forward, move a little way now
Move a little way forward, move a little way now

Bleed life, breathe life
Could it be a better plan, could it be a better plan.
Could it be a better plan, could it be a better plan.



2. Greedy Fly


Do you feel the way you hate, do you hate the way you feel
Always closest to the flame, ever closer to the blade

I am posion crazy lush, built these hands to lift me up
We are servants to our formulaic ways
I´m screaming daisies
From 14 miles away I´ve got my own time
Got it all today

Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind
Limbo this and limbo that, you were this and you were that
Ever know that what you fear is what you find
This Indian summer I signed my life away
There´s a greedy fly in here and I fly away

Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind
Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind

Make up your mind, need some help to find this mind, mind, mind
Mind, mind, mind, mind, mind, mind



3. Swallowed


Warm sun, feed me up and I´m leery loaded up
Loathing for a change and I slip some boil away

Swallowed followed, heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed sorrowed, I´m with everyone and yet not
I´m with everyone and yet not, I´m with everyone and yet

Just wanted to be myself
Hey, you said that you would love to try some
Hey, you said you would love to die some
In the middle of a worm on a fish hook
You´re the wave, you´re the wave, you´re the wave

Swallowed borrowed, heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed hollowed, sharp about everyone but yourself
Swallowed oh no, I´m with every one and yet not
I´m with everyone and you´re not, I´m with everyone and you´re not
I´m on everyone and yet

Piss on self-esteem, forward, busted knee
Sick head, blackened lungs and I´m a simple selfish son

Swallowed followed, heavy about everything but my love
Swallowed oh no, I´m with everyone and yet not
I´m on everyone and yet not, I´m on everyone and yet not,

Got to get away from here, got to get away from here
Got to get away from here, got to get away from here
I miss the one that I love a lot, I miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot



4. Insect Kin


Iron lung I know you well, deal with you like a bad spell
See the trail moon burns, red stripe and vicadin
You were the only one, you were the centre
You never .. on me, I´m not defenceless
In the afternoon as the light dims
Build a life out of all this semtex
You´re the brightest one, you were the centre
The perfect opposite of what you asked for

It´s just not one way, a negative factor
With all the little wasps out, I´d better take cover
I´d better take cover

Copper tongue, beam me up, lonely without my impediments
Start to save what we used to steal, walking on gelatine
I never noticed you, you were the brightest one
You were wide of me just like the english sun
You caught the light again in a perfect way
The biggest threat of all is in the alleyway
You´re the demon seed, you´re the factor
You feel better with a little bit of plaster

It´s not just one way, a negative factor
With all the little wasps out, I´d better take cover
I´d better take cover, I´d better take cover

There´s all the pain in the way she talks
There´s all the pain in the way she walks
There´s all the pain in her wave goodbye
All the pain in the way she smiles
There´s all the pain in her fatal charm
All the pain in her arms



5. Cold Contagious


Wherever you are, you will carry always
Truth of the scars and darkness of your faith
Slowly move on, how did we get to here
It all went wrong, gravity claiming all your tears
Everything looks so much better now, so much better now

You will get yours, you will get yours, you will get yours
You have no right to ask me now, you were never that around
I have missed

Reality daytrips and your suit me, suit me ways
Turn out the light switch, we´ve been awake for days
And no-one´s coming round here no more, no-one´s coming round here

You will get yours, you will get yours, you will get yours
You will get yours, you will get yours
You have no right to calm me down, you were never that around
I have missed, I have missed

Cold contagious, all the might mighty men
What you save is what you lose out in the end
Cold contagious, cold contagious

Paint your perfect day, I don´t mind this
I´m better off by the way, deeply grounded

You will get yours, you will get yours, you will get yours
You will get yours, you will get yours, you will get yours

Cold contagious, all the mighty mighty men
What you save is what you lose out in the end
Cold contagious, cold contagious

Cold contagious, cold contagious



6. A Tendancy to Start Fires


Strange zoo, strange blaze douse my head in flames
Coming through got to get some, happiness is a bad son
Forceps kitchen tools deconstruct your every move
Feel better when you´re here, guillotine just got here

Back bend, back break, please yourself to make it rate
Live it all at your own cost so many just got lost
Leaning for fire, leaning to fire, leaning to fire

Here´s tomorrow man, best of my ability
Chasing what I can, here´s tomorrow man

Instinct, bare boned, light it up, take it home
You will be all things, you´ll get what you bring
Leaning to fire, leaning to fire, leaning to fire

Here´s tomorrow man, best of my civility, chasing watercans
Here´s tomorrow man, best of my ability, chasing waterans
Here´s tomorrow man, here´s tomorrow man

With our own tongue, with our own tongue
Here´s tomorrow man, best of my ability, chasing watercans
Here´s tomorrow man, end of century, chasing watercans
Here´s tomorrow man, here´s tomorrow man
Here´s tomorrow man, here´s tomorrow man



7. Mouth


You gave me this, made me give, your silver grin, stil sticking it in
You have some machine, soul machine
The longest kiss, feeling furniture day
Drift madly to you, pollute my heart, drain
You have broken me, broken me
All your mental armour drags me down, nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth

Your loaded smiles and pretty just deserts
Wish it all for you, so much it never hurts
You have soul machine, stolen me
All your mental armour drags me down
We can´t breathe when we come around
All your mental armour drags me down, nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth
Your mouth, mouth, mouth, your mouth, mouth, mouth

We´d been missing long before never found our way home
We´d been missing long before we will found our way

You gave me this, made me give you have soul machine broken free
All your mental armour drags me down, we can´t breathe when we come around
All your mental armour drags me down nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth
Your mouth, mouth, mouth, your mouth, mouth, mouth
All your mental armour, all your mental armour and your mouth, mouth
Mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth



8. Straight No Chaser


Always be there, face I live with
Always be there, face I live with
Access memory with broken fingers
All the fallen down angels, raw pain distress
It´s all in the way we know that we could have it all

Some satellites of pain can´t always be ignored
War on all sides, war on all sides

Drink life as it comes, straight no chaser
Life as it comes, straight no chaser
Climb inside you, away from strangers
Building a system of alleys and motorways
It´s all in the way that we know we could have it all
Some satellites of pain can´t always be ignored
It´s all in the face of what we thought we knew before
War on all sides, war on all sides, war on all sides
War on all sides

Keep on driving, hair left morning wet
There´s nothing like losing you, there´s nothing like losing you
There´s nothing like losing you, there´s nothing like losing you



9. History


Gave my love to two thousand yesterdays
Nothing is wrong I am always a little late
Probably will probably won´t, get this disease cut out my throat
All of a sudden you come my way, baby believer
I won´t be saved by morning after
Struggling my name, slave turned to master
History moans, mouth of our father
History moans, mouth of my father, mouth of my father

Edge of my bed, benzedrine telephone
Struggling to speak, I´m sicker than sickest dog
Falling faster than liar´s grin, we need to be saved from the shit we´re in
I believe in you I have found, the perfect way to bring me down
I won´t be saved, by all your yesterdays
Piss on my grave, piss on the underlay
History moans, mouth of our father
History moans, mouth of my father, mouth of my father
Mouth of my father, mouth of my father, mouth of my father

History moans, history moans, history moans, mouth of my father
Mouth of my father, mouth of my fathe



10. Synapse


I don´t mind this, deaf again
Just a skinfull, what we choose to forget
Thinking you know, thinking you see all sides
Crossing a stone from your hand, yeah right

Hell is where the heart is, synapse again
There´s nothing more I can do, I haven´t done again
I never wanted nothing wrong, taking a cue from seven days
I´ll bet you never listened, burning holes in all your clothes

Razorblade suitcase, all the tricks of the trade
Favourite ways you can lose, favourite ways you can hate
Hell is where the heart is, synapse again
Nothing more I can do, I haven´t done again, I haven´t done again

I never wanted nothing wrong, taking a cue from better days.
I´ll bet you never glistened, burning holes in all your clothes.
Burning holes in all your clothes

Hell is where the heart is, synapse again
There´s nothing more I can do, I haven´t done again
Hell is where the heart is, where the heart is, where the heart is



11. Communicator


Somewhere sometime all things be fine
And it never seems to stop, wonder if I´ve met my wife
Somewhere sometime all things be fine
And it never seems enough, wonder if, met my wife
Splinter left, focus right

This mortal soil around me, mortal feeling I have found
Surrounded by your glory, hold me now so that I never drown
And it never seems to stop, wonder if, met my wife
Splinter left, focus right, focus right, focus right



12. Bonedriven


We´re just a wish away, 27th letter, much maligned, beat me clever
Say you will nevermind, open up, open wide

Bonedriven, bonedriven, see we´re taking all the life
To all pollutants, share your face
We´re all confusion, we´re all the rage
Isolate, cry it out, all that´s left, inside out
Heaven knows who walks away, heaven knows who walks

Bonedriven, bonedriven, see we´re taking all the life
Bonedriven, bonedriven, see we´re taking all the life
I was wrong and I will wait, I was wrong and I will wait
I was wrong and I will, I will, I will wait

A thousand lamps won´t live the dark
Rest of our lives might have already passed

Bonedriven, bonedriven, see we´re taking all the life
Bonedriven, bonedriven, see we´re taking all the life
Taking all the life



13. Distant Voices


I never thought I´d get away
Cos all there is, is faded for us today
Maybe you sleep well in your head
Don´t bring on the night and cold moon born instead
Cos I´m gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself

Swallowing habits die real hard
And the coat she wore could not conceal the scars
Beneath the magic of her lace
Are a thousand loneley faces, she can´t place
I´m gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself I can´t shine on
I´m gonna find my way to the sun
When I destroy myself I can´t shine on
Shine, shine, shine

Sooner or later masturbator lose
Stationary westway running from you
And true to self destruct in veins
We have found a way to keep the gift that remains
Cos I´m gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myslef I can move on
Cos I´m gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself I can shine on
Shine, shine, shine
