1. You


You are the sun the moon and stars
ah you... and I could never run away from you

You try at working out chaotic things
and why should I believe myself?

Itīs like the world is gonna end so soon
and why should I believe myself?

Yeah...

You, me, and everything
caught in the fire
I can see you drowning
caught in the fire



2. Creep


When you were here before
Couldnīt look you in the eye
Youīre just like an angel
Your skin makes me cry
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
And I wish I was special
Youīre so fuckinī special

But Iīm a creep, Iīm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I donīt belong here.

I donīt care if it hurts
I want to have control
I want a perfect body
I want a perfect soul
I want you to notice
When Iīm not around
Youīre so fuckinī special
I wish I was special

But Iīm a creep, Iīm a weirdo.
What the hell am I doing here?
I donīt belong here.

Sheīs running out again,
Sheīs running out
Sheīs run run run running out...

Whatever makes you happy
Whatever you want
Youīre so fuckinī special
I wish I was special...

But Iīm a creep, Iīm a weirdo,
What the hell am I doing here?
I donīt belong here.
I donīt belong here.



3. How do you?


Heīs bitter and twisted
He knows what he wants
He wants to be loved and
He wants to be belong
He wants us to listen
He wants us to weep
He was a stupid baby
Who turned into a powerful freak

How do you?
How do you?
How do you?

Heīs lives with his mother
But we show him respect
Heīs a dangerous bigot
But we always forget
And heīs just like his daddy
Cuz he cheats on his friends
And he steals and he bullies
Any way that he can

How do you?
How do you?
How do you?



4. Stop Whispering


And the wise man said "I donīt wanna hear your voice"
And the thin man said "I donīt wanna hear your voice"
And theyīre cursing me
And they wonīt let me be
Thereīs nothing to say
And thereīs nothing to do

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

And my mother say "We dontīt love you son some more"
And the buildings say "Let me spit on your face some more"
And the feeling is
That thereīs something wrong
Cuz I canīt find the words
And I canīt find the song

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting

Dear Sir, "I have a complaint
"Canīt remember what it is
"Thatīs why Iīm here"

Stop whispering, start shouting
Stop whispering, start shouting



5. Thinking About You


een thinking about you, your records are here
Your eyes are on my wall, your teeth are over there
But Iīm still no one, and youīre now a star
What do you care?

Been thinking about you, and thereīs no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
But Iīm playing with myself?
What do you care when the other men are far, far better?

All the things you got,
all the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes,
Who pried the company to come and see you, honey

Iīve been thinking about you, so how can you sleep?
Those people arenīt your friends, theyīre paid to kiss your feet
They donīt know what I know.
Why should you care when Iīm not there?

Been thinking about you, and thereīs no rest
Should I still love you, still see you in bed
When Iīm playing with myself?
What do you care when Iīm not there?

All the things you got
that youīll never need
all the things you got
Iīm played out and bleed to please you

Been thinking about you...



6. Anyone Can Play Guitar


Destiny... destiny protect me from the world
Destiny... hold my hand, protect me from the world

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I donīt see no confusion anywhere

And if the world does turn
And if London burns
Iīll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they wonīt
be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair... grow my hair I am Jim Morrison
Grow my hair... I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are, with our running and confusion
And I donīt see no confusion anywhere

As the world does turn
And if London burns
Iīll be standing on the beach with my guitar
I wanna be in a band
When I get to heaven
Anyone can play guitar and they wonīt
be a nothing anymore



7. No Ripcord


Soul destroyed with clever toys for little boys
Itīs inevitable, inevitable, itīs a soul destroyed
You feel it till youīre dry
You feel it till youīve had enough
And you donīt understand

No Ripcord, no ripcord
No Ripcord, no ripcord

Aeroplane, do I mean what I mean
Itīs inevitable, inevitable, oh aeroplane

A thousand miles an hour
On politics and power
That you donīt understand

No Ripcord, no ripcord
No Ripcord, no ripcord

la la la la...

The answer to your prayers
Weīll drop you anywhere

No Ripcord, no ripcord
No Ripcord, no ripcord



8. Vegetable


I never wanted anything like this
I worked hard, tried hard
I ran around in domestic bliss
I fought hard, died long

Every time youīre running out of here
Every time youīre running I get the fear

I never wanted any broken bones
Scarred face, no home
Your words surround me and asphyxiate
And I burn all hate

Every time youīre running out on me
Every time youīre running I can see

Iīm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself

The waters spray, the waters run all over me
The waters spray, the waters run
And this time you gonna pay

Iīm not a vegetable
I will not control myself
I spit on the hand that feeds me
I will not control myself



9. Prove Yourself


I canīt afford to breathe in this town
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Look back up to the cathode ray...

Iīm better off dead
Iīm better off dead
Iīm better off...

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I wanna breathe, I wanna grow
Iīd say I want it but I donīt know how
I work, I bleed, I beg, I pray

Iīm better off dead
Iīm better off dead
Iīm better off...

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

Iīm better off dead
Iīm better off dead
Iīm better off...

Prove yourself..



10. I Canīt


Please forget the words that I just blurted out
It wasnīt me, it was a strange and creeping doubt

It keeps rattling my cage
Thereīs nothing in this world will keep it down

Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I canīt

So many things that keep, keep me underground
So many words that I, that I can never find

If you give up on me now,
Iīll be gutted like Iīve never been before

Even though I might,
Even though I try,
I canīt



11. Lurgee


I feel better,
I feel better now youīve gone

I got better,
I got better, I got strong

I feel better,
I feel better, now thereīs nothing wrong

I got better,
I got better, I got strong

Tell me something,
Tell me something I donīt know

Tell me one thing,
Tell me one thing, let it go

I got something,
I got something heaven knows

I got something,
I got something I donīt know



12. Blow Out


In my mind
And nailed into my heels
All the time killinī what I feel
And everything I touch turns into stone

All wrapped up in crinoline
All wrapped up in sugar-coated

Just in case I blow out

I am glued

Just in case I crack out
And everything I touch turns to stone

Everything I touch turns to stone

All wrapped up in crinoline
All wrapped up in sugar-coated
