A Fall Down 04:18
A Fall Down Look I did hope a token goal Sort of fell for a fairy tale Felt soft in my coat Was a lord of the go now And vanity’s shadows of regress Like a perfume sprayed on to impress Fills me up with its scent Of a go now Oh leave it alone Hang out for a count now Bye bye soldier I bought you out Here's loads now 'Cause cheers I get is now it's true Played real hard in uniform Running up to join the queue Of a fall down Had love up my sleeve Would have thrived in a Gulag Reasons all but gone Seemed to dance for the chance then And vanity’s shadows of regress Like a perfume sprayed on to impress Fills me up with its scent Of a go now Oh leave it alone Hang out for a count now Bye bye soldier I bought you out Here's loads now 'Cause cheers I get is now it's true Played real hard in uniform Running up to join the queue Of a fall down

The Glory Of The State Wait stay people Door Jamming people Who wait around In hopefulness like the way they dress Got their tickets A numbered fate Wait And Poster people upon the wall Who look like us With smiling faces That motivate To get a job It's about their number More than their face We went up in the world today Helped by sleight of hand But did the world Just go up on us Behind our backs We'll never know The call of the nation has exploitation In hit and run There was never a contract Just a clever mind shame Hidden in the act With tiny steps You can dance around In the crowd But keep your coat 'Cause the music just Played out And there's no space Please move on To raise a glass to the giving ones Who work all hours For a petty sum For charity Is to miss the point It's just for the glory of the state It's for the glory of the state The call of the nation has exploitation In hit and run There was never a contract Just a clever mind shame Hidden in the act

The Feelings Just The Same I've got my touch You’ve got your fame The feelings just the same Never a word we gotta say We just turn and walk away Oh why When we're all Gonna die Oh Christ Come let's sit down By our sides We're here at this time It's some sort of fate Let's reconcile Before it's too late Look at the gap And feel the pain It's mental and insane Oh why When we're all Gonna die Oh Christ Come let's sit down By our sides

Golden Dark 04:48
Golden Dark Looking out as the snow that falls upon the cold winter frozen ground The sky turns grey and the trees are bare, A view I know where you cant be found Cause I know that you belong here sweet girl eccentric golden dark And I believe that you possess things I forgot things I like to find Christmas time and the rush is on we had our day for all to be seen I need to you to grow a little concentrate and find your thing Cause I know that you belong here sweet girl eccentric golden dark And I believe that you possess things I forgot things I like to find It's conditional is all I can offer it's a way, after all its a modern World Cause I know that you belong here sweet girl eccentric golden dark And I believe that you possess things I forgot things I like to find Cause I know that you belong here sweet girl eccentric golden dark And I believe that you possess things I forgot things I like to find

Parasite 03:54
Parasite Parasite Parasite a-calling A brave new dawning Parasite a-calling as the savage takes the fold Bearing gifts as you promise to go home You cold brute you took her to the shore You spun her yarns Then you took her To work condemned you scorch some piece of mind In starch white suits You beat them into line Your sword a-sharpened by God’s only hand Entitled sons you lay Barren their land Happy now with your flag Parasite a-calling a glinting in the sun Take your seat While daggers are cooked up Civilise with coldness in your eyes Go build your empire It may take a few to die Your sword a-sharpened by God’s only hand Entitled sons you lay Barren their lands Happy now with your flag

More Than A Wreck More than a wreck More than a stage To base a life on It could be said It is more Than the sum Of the parts I want to be free To discover me And chance upon a whole load of odyssey’s Wanna make it up As I go along Right or wrong Now I can breathe Now I can dream And leave through the open door I wanna have the greatest time of my life I can possible have More Than a wreck More than a stage to base a life on It could be said It is more than the sum of the parts

Typical 04:22
Typical All of your yesterdays blew in your face A time of love and a time of hate A time of falling onto your knees Begging forgiveness with a small please What should I do what should I say? (he says) How should I feel when walk away? But she's hoping you whisper sweet things in her ears Hoping for love through all of the tearsI It makes you feel good it makes you feel tall It makes her feel good makes her feel small But you took her over new exactly what to say You let it all blow over in a tangling way It's a typical me and a usual you It's a typical me and a usual you A typical me and a usual you A typical me and a usual you

Martha Ray 03:53
Martha Ray I know you went be the name of Martha Ray Hidden pretty so as no bomb would explode In the barking night There's a howl on the lull As the light fades fast On all that you know You have that look and the world get on its knees A Cleopatra look A not out to please look But a crazed stare is always coming downstairs Has no mercy Comes from nowhere His sudden cry came upon your pretty eyes With pistols primed for the show He couldn't say why Except you'll never leave his side Taking the ride There she goes There she goes And all the stories read ready on the sofa Of how we drive knives through her killing her culture Are tragic turn-arounds of something well kept Those feeling forces are put out to rest You met in shadows hidden from view Sung and danced in big empty rooms Queued behind him like he told you to Your patience a wonder they can't take that from you His sudden cry came upon your pretty eyes With pistols primed for the show He couldn't say why Except you'll never leave his side Taking the ride There she goes There she goes
