[No lyrics]

Something to write home about
The fade of your smile
I knew you were giving up
I've known for a while

I am always here for you
I am always near by you

Your 'two for me' attitude is always the same
I laugh at the sound of your voice and I'm sorry I came
I pick up the slack for you and I sing it back to you

Hands up everyone who feels cheated
How dare it be like this?
Feel bad for the weak one I am - I let it happen
There's a thrill in something new
And i hope it lasts don't you?
And if not
I hope we do

I could fall asleep on you...

Man, am I that pig headed?
I let the whole thing slide
Cracks appear in my vaneer
Like bruises on my pride

And when it gets to it
I shrink and fall away
My tongue is swelling up
I tell it "not today"

I've not anticipated
So much was over-rated

Your grinned suggestions
Invite my questions
And make me feel so small
I'll ask you softly,
Cause I don't want the answer
And I'd fall if you said fall...

7 days is all it takes
To push me overboard
I see the faces turn in my direction
And I feel so unsure

And when it gets to it
My head begins to spin
Just find another way
Build it up and kick it in

I got Mick Jagger action
Can't get no satisfaction

You don't have to tell me - I know already
I understand it all
I see your face when my eyes aren't even open
And I'd fall if you said fall...

Loser
I'm a loser
I'll be your loser
I'm your loser

I'll make you sorry, you ever met me
And just forget it all
(Say fall I'll fall, say fall I'll fall)
It's not your fault but I'll blame you anyway
And I'd fall if you said

Fall
Say fall and I'll fall
Say fall and I'll fall
Fall...

Count my fingers
And tell me your name
It breaks my heart
It's always the same

I can see Angels
I can see Angels
I can see Angels
And they're so Holy

And they're so
And they're so
And they're so
Holy and beauti-
Holy beautiful

Now it's early
And daylight creeps
Your eyes are wide now
So I'll sleep

Forever
Forever
Oh, and they're so
And they're so
And they're so
Holy and beauti-
Holy beautiful

There's a fire in here
There's a fire
There's a fire in here
There's a fire
There's a fire in here
There's a fire
There's a fire in here
There's a fire
There's a fire in here
There's a fire
And I can't get out...

There is a thing that I know that does it better than me
And I haven't wanted to be all the things I can be
And I'd bash it all away, if I could
If I believed that it would make me good.
Good.

To us it is the way I am built
To us it is the way I deal with things
To us I am an old, old man
And if I can't take your sex
I'll take your hand

Stick close to me and I will keep you safe
Nothing is important to me any more except for you
Don't lie to me I think I've earned the truth
I am good
I am good

And if I could hold you down and drown you in my arms
I would
If I could freeze you now to keep you as you are
I would

I am good
I am good
I am good

I won't hear
So don't say it
Don't say it
Don't say it
Don't say it

Stick close to me and I won't let you go
All if this is worth it if it means a thing to you
So suffer me, that is all you can do
I am good
I am good

If I could hold you down and drown you in my arms
I would
If I could freeze you now to keep you as you are
I would


**This is to the best that I can work out, if I've gone wrong, please change as I would love to know the lyrics properly. Cheers - Sam Cannon (shouty bit fixed. i think. RVS x)**

I'm scared of the police
I'm scared of the violence
I'm scared of handcuffs
And truncheons
I'm just too scared

So pack your bags
We're going home
This place has started to stink
I've been standing around
For far too long
And my feet have started to sink in

And I'm scared of becoming
A statue, a monolith
And not changing, ever
It's not healthy, and I'm just

Scared of it

And I'm scared of your anger
And I don't know what causes it
And you know that it hurts me
But I like you

She kisses me like music
I dont pretend I don't like it
Her lips are soft and Swedish
She leaves me gasping for more

Summer bleeds into my skin and,
Paints me the colour golden

And I'm done, I'm left alone exausted
Pick myself up off the road.

And I won't come down to earth
It's along way down to...

And I dont come to earth.
It's a long way down, It's a long way down

if all i am is flesh and blood, i might as well be dog food
and if all it was was just a test, i think i passed.
ill wear the clothes, ill eat the food, ill whisper the words but its not true
cos im alive and i dont know why. im just so glad I found you

fire away. ill make sure you remember
fire away. ill make you all remember me

my adrenaline flows, im loath to waste it
im creeping so close i can almost taste it
i block your way, and you cannot leave me
you have got to stay. stay

im waterproof and see-through, they said survive and, i will.
and if you move i shoot you, so stay completely still.
your mind is dead with these old ideals.
your mouth is shut.

and i dont want space, because space is so cold,
fire away. ill make sure you remember
fire away. ill make you all remember.

I see the stars safe in your arms.
I dont want to be your enemy
And im screaming,
'Tell me its alright,
Tell me its all good,
Tell me im ok,
It doesnt matter'

And its just like cyndi said
'Until the end, there is no end'
Oh, damn it all!
Tell me its alright
Tell me its all good.
Tell me im ok.
It doesnt matter, anyway.

So dry off your eyes and smother me with the wet cloth.
Hold me because you have to.
(you have to) 'breathe'...

Tell me its alright.
Tell me its all good.
Tell me im ok.
It doesnt matter, anyway.

'we' has just been reduced to 'me'. guess thats how it has to be
but i dont really mind cos all i wanted to do was fuck around
she seems disgusted by my plea, bring her best friend and make it three
and its all for the fun, cos all i wanted to do was fuck

and the way she looks when she looks at me,
we have this thing

i make half of the recipe, rip strips off the enemy
suits me down to the ground, yeah all i wanted to do was fuck around
she puts hooks in the love machine, plays sinking the pink
and all i want to is fuck, all i want to do is fuck, all i want to do is...

oh, the way she looks when she looks at me, we got no serious future together.

i like sleeping, i like eating. i like food and i like beds.
whos bad?

i like the music here, i like the band, man!

Social interaction
It makes me sick down to my stomach
I'm just building up a network
Of these people I pretend to know

People only like you
If you've got something they want
That means I must be a moron
If I don't like what you've got

I don't care about it
I don't care about it
I don't care about it
I don't care about it

Well I have wasted thousands
Of my kisses on your picture
And a lot of good it did me
When the circus came to town

Yeah you could have been my everything
But you went with another
And you let him treat you badly
And you run to me for sympathy, well...

I don't buy it!
I don't buy it!

I don't care about it
I don't care about it
I don't care about it
I don't care about it

You must stop feeling so sorry for yourself

It's bullshit, get on with it

I don't care about it
(I don't care!)
I don't care about it
(I don't care!)
I don't care about it
(I don't care!)
I don't care about it
(I don't care!)

I don't care about it
I don't give a fuck
'Cause I am so selfish and I am so proud

All things, have ended
My boy is brain dead.
I cant be here, its real enough for me

Heaven, i know for sure
but i cant feel anymore

Turn off the machine
Turn off the machine

Get up, get dressed and
It all so pointless
I cant, do this im sorry.

How can, i breath
When he cant, breath.

Turn off the machine
Turn offf the machine

It'll take a little time to re-align
but i wont forget you
Take a little time to re-align
No i dont forget you
You.

Of all the things that you do best,
Disaster makes you happiest.
So burn the clothes that you are in,
They stink of smoke and sweat and skin.

And you cry 'cos I'm so calm inside
You scream, you sob, "I'll run, I'll hide"
And still we have no answer to
The question: What do we do?

Oh, let's stop hanging out
Let's stop hanging fun
Stand in the corner
And think about what you've done

Oh it's easy to over simplify
When you are not involved
And I get so angry when someone can say
"The answer's there - as clear as day!"

And there is a possibility
That you could still cling on to me
'Cos you're filled with such regret
But oh you must have had your reasons

Oh, let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Stand in the corner
And think about what you've done
Oh, let't stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
You deserve to be with no one!
No one!
No one!
No one!

Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun
Let's stop hanging out
Let's stop having fun

Yeah right!
Yeah!

Of all the things that you do best
Of all the things that you do best
Of all the things that you do best
Of all the things that you do best

Let's stop hanging out!
Yeah, yeah, yeah let's stop hanging out!
Let's stop hanging out!
Let's stop, let's stop hanging out!

It's over, I can't turn it off
That promise you broke
You called me forever just one word
And I hope you choke on it

Don't cry if you don't mean every tear
Your pain is so fake
Emotionally bruised and battered up
You thought I would break, well

My falling vision obscured
This thing is definatley cured
My fear of falling
That fear of falling

Here's one in the eye for love
Here's one in the eye for you and love
Here's one in the eye for love
This is a shot in the arm for you and love

Love

You said "could we be the best?"
And I said "Alright"
I'm sick of always being mature
You started the fight - It's all your fault

I'm still alive, number fucking five
I'm still alive, number fucking five
I'm still alive, number fucking five
Number fucking five
Number fucking five!

Yeah, I should have been
Kicked myself inside
I'm afraid I might fade
I've got nothing left
I can't feel anymore
I'm afraid of my faith

The more I bleed
The more I need
Till nothing seems to hurt enough anymore

Yeah you should have been
Change your point of view
I guess you couldn't have known
I'm a fucker and
I just don't care enough
I'm just waiting to go

The more I burn
The more I yearn
Till nothing
Nothing seems to hurt enough anymore

And you look at me
So seriously
Until nothing, nothing
Nothing I can do is enough
Anymore
Anymore...

I am Jack's sense of rejection
I suck my finger, it stings
He puts his hand on the shoulder
And says a million stupid things

I hear he's backwards and inbred
I hear he's all kinds of things
I put my head on the table
And think a million stupid things

I just want answers to questions
And no-one knows what its worth
To see a chink in the armour
But I want more than this

I hold it in
I hate that grin
But it's all good
That smile is worn to be seen

When faced with all of my demons
I ran as fast as I could
For shelter in my own ignorance
Like any normal person would

And you might label me indolent
If you didn't know me too well
You would say I have a problem
And I'd say "Go to hell"

When I am free
It will be sunny forever
And I can say that I feel fine
Sitting here doing nothing
That smile is worn to be seen

Still I can't forget what you told me
I can't forget what you said
I can't stop seeing a target
Painted on the back of his head

Why does he smile when he sees me
And wave as he passes by?
Who doesn't he know what he represents?
Why is that?
I don't get it

[No lyrics]

These wars of words are pointless
Nothing gets accomplished, no
To see you bent and broken
You'd think I'd like it

But I don't
It disgusts me
That I can be
So petty and so weak

Yeah, You're sorry
Everyones always so sorry
Yeah,
And I thought I heard you say
"To lose is not ok, win is the only way"
Guess what I did with my day
Well, I failed

Despite my reservations
I think it's time that we met, we met
And all these complications
Yeah they make me something i'm not

(This is a war)
You're kitten as a cat
I know where it's at
Yeah this is where it's at
Yeah,

Yeah you're sorry
Everyone is always so sorry
Yeah
And I thought saw you stray
But I love you anyway

And I'd like us to be forever
That's what I tried to say
But it got stuck in my throat
And words are missing
Words are missing
Words are missing
Words are missing
Stuck in my throat
Now that I know it could only be you
I try to speak out
But the words are missing
Words are missing

Spread my arms
And now take flight
Strike a nerve
And I push myself against the light
My shattered spine
There is no pain
Suffering
This misery without a name
Misery without a name
Misery without a name

All these amphetamines
Running through my veins
I am lucky I don't don't drown

Damn your eyes
Damn your eyes
Damn your eyes

I have seen
The fall of kings
Slowly now
I strip the beetle of its wings
Without fear
And without shame
I accept
This misery without a name
Misery without a name
Misery without a name
Misery without a name

I do not fear the change
Ripping through my system
I am always coming down

Damn your eyes
Damn your eyes
Damn your eyes
God, damn it all!
This is all, this is my
This is all, this is my
THis is all, this is my all

This is it
This is it
This is it
This is...

If I wanted you
I would take you
But I don't want you
So I will let you suffer

What is this
That melts my brain?
I may die
But I am damned to live again
Touch my eyes
Embrace the blame
This is my
My misery without a name
Misery without a name
Misery without a name
Misery without a name

I'm scared of the police
I'm scared of the violence
I'm scared of handcuffs
And truncheons
I'm just too scared

So pack your bags
We're going home
This place has started to stink
I've been standing around
For far too long
And my feet have started to sink in

And I'm scared of becoming
A statue, a monolith
And not changing, ever
It's not healthy, and I'm just

Scared of it

And I'm scared of your anger
And I don't know what causes it
And you know that it hurts me
But I like you

So anyway
I was about to say
Well I'm afraid
Of slipping right away
Ill prepared
I am so ill prepared
If you concentrate
You can learn it in a day

I'm so suicidal I can't see
I watch Ren & Stimpy on TV
And in the morning I will bleed
My life was wasted on me
On me
Yeah yeah

What is it
That keeps the beat in my chest
It makes me breathe
I never really knew
All these years
I have lived on my own
All my fears
Are slowly coming true

I'm so suicidal I can't see
I watch Ren & Stimpy on TV
And in the morning I can't breathe
My life has wasted me
On me
On me
On me

So I gotta think in straight lines
Stop accumulating dust and
Get a job of something I love
And respect myself and others
And I gotta see my own man
Find out who he is before long
And I gotta see my own man
Find out who he is before he...

Chew it up
And spit it out
That's what this
Is all about
Sell my soul
And keep it in
I got balls
And glitterskin

It's just a bad dream
And I'm waiting, Oh,
It's alright, It's okay, I'm alright
It's just a bad dream

Thank god I, can sleep again
I'll never get, number ten
So you can, agree with it
Leave me be, the better man

It's just a bad dream
And I'm waiting, Oh,
It's alright, It's okay, I'm doing fine
It's just a bad dream

I'm alright,
I'm okay
And I'm alright, but I'm o...

It's alright, I'm okay, I feel good

It's just a bad dream

You'll never make eighteen...

Yesterday was quite a day, and I've been a bad boy.
But i enjoyed wiping that smile off your face.
Accident? Act of God? Fate or destiny?
Hypocrites, they're mourning, Its just such a waste...

Clean on the inside.
My hands are dripping with blood but I'm clean on the inside.
My face is covered in mud but I'm clean on the inside, and thats all that matters.

Quiet down, folk will hear.
Stop with the screaming.
I can see that boy of fifteen, scared, in your eyes.
Hypocrites shift the blame, pointing the finger.
So be it, I am damned for your demise.

Clean on the inside.
My hands are dripping with blood but I'm clean on the inside.
My face is covered in mud but I'm clean on the inside, and thats all that matters.

I'm alone on this lonely planet.
I hope I get home.
This is not how I had planned it, dying on my own.

Hands on my ears.
Blocking the sound.
Put the fucker into the ground.

You turned up dead
And i'm clean, i'm clean!

My legs are heavy
And I don't want to run no more
God fearing people need no faith
To keep them strong

I'll try to break them
If I can't then I'll survive
I can see your brilliant face
And then you're gone

I reach the Angel
And I'm ready to attack
I sever head
But then another grows right back

Barbituates and thoughts
Are running through your head
If I can't keep you tired out
I'll keep you dead

I'll try to break you
If I can't then I'll survive
I can see your brilliant face

I reach for heaven
And I end up on the floor
I'm never satisfied
I always thirst for more

Hey, yeah
Hey, yeah

If you breathe my name i can always hear
And I'll rush in where angels fear to tread
Don't make promises that you can't keep
Don't make enemies that you can't defeat

You alone should know
The shit sticks fast
Weighing up the consequences
You made up your mind
To kick my arse
And I was left with no defences

I'm a little screwed around inside
And you think I don't remember
I can't forget the things you did, can I?

I'm your enemy
I'm your enemy
I'm your enemy
I'm your enemy

Sugar faces, plastic smiles and all
Nothing seems to pacify me
People watch and wait for me to fall
Go ahead and fucking try me

See the features crack into a grin
And I'm glad you think it's funny
I'm coming back for something more
And I'm not laughing, Am I?

I'm your enemy
I'm your enemy
I'm your enemy
I'm your enemy

And now, the time has come,
The time, Goodbye
Goodbye

I'm scared of the police
I'm scared of the violence
I'm scared of handcuffs
And truncheons
I'm just too scared

So pack your bags
We're going home
This place has started to stink
I've been standing around
For far too long
And my feet have started to sink in

And I'm scared of becoming
A statue, a monolith
And not changing, ever
It's not healthy, and I'm just

Scared of it

And I'm scared of your anger
And I don't know what causes it
And you know that it hurts me
But I like you

[No lyrics]

My, desire fulfilled
When you came inside near me i knew that i
Was, about to give a part of me to you and...

Be with me, no words that i can say

Try, embrace and hope when i talked with you i knew what we had
Desire, and love like i never thought i'd ever have.

Be with me, no words that i can say
What i feel, for my love....

Felt so good not to have a doubt
dam this all..

I feel just a little murmer now (i mean it)
I feel just a little murmer now (i mean it)
I feel just a little murmer now (i mean it)
I feel just a little murmer now (i mean it)
I feel just a little murmer now (i mean it)

Somewhere between my dreams
I feel you crawling in me
I find it hard to breathe
It's the filth of the sex
That I can't understand

And I scream
And I scream
And I scream
And I scream...

If I cross my heart then you'll stick
A needle in my eye
So fuck me like you love me
And kiss your ass goodbye

Fuck me

Chrome heart and still bleeding
You stitch me closed again and
I feel it all too well
And it hurts with my head on the floor I see red

And I scream
And I scream
And I scream
And I scream...

If I cross my heart then you'll stick
A needle in my eye
So fuck me like you love me
And kiss your ass goodbye

A time
The crack in time
Changed my mind
Mouth is dry
Eyes are blind
The crack in time
Changed my mind
Mouth is dry
And I'm
Sick of it

Cross your heart and I'll stick
A needle in your eye
I'll cut your fucking tongue out
So you can never say goodbye
I want you to be near me
Underneath a painted sky
So fuck me like you love me
And kiss me before I die

Smile and in a gentle voice
Tell me you love me
Friends forever, always
Holding my hand

But now I, I see stars in your eyes
And you would let them die
Watch them fade in the sky
For me, happily...

Time goes so slowly
When shared between the two
For years you protected me
Kept me safe and warm

But now I, I see those stars in your eyes
And every star now dies
There were things you'd hide
But you told me everything

I was your best friend
And you, trusted me

But I lied to you
I have always lied to you
I destroyed you
I have always laughed at you

I betrayed you
And it was me who made you cry
And it was me who made you cry

The broken bone pushes against my lung,
And you kiss it better for me,
You're always saying that you don't know what you want,
Well i think i got what you need, (think i got)

There's something pricking in the back of your skull,
Something that you ought to know,
Just like the others that are still stuck in denial,
You find yourself saying "well this is not real, i am not real, this is not real"

But i know who you are and you are just as lost as me, just like me
Just like me,
You got your head in the noose,
What do you want me to do
I can't just vanish the truth
I can't take it back
No i can't just throw it away

Maybe you will listen to me now

Well just dont listen to me

No, no, you dont listen to me, just like me, same as me

Karen is wasting time,
Wont pull in her mind,
She runs this pantomime,
Save me, dont be blind,

All the time,
All the time,
She's dying, yeah,

Karen turned away,
She sees no ones face,
Staring into space,

To run away...

Is this near me?
Could this be serious?
I need your help,
I need your help

[No lyrics]

[No lyrics]

In a funny kind of way, you're beautiful
In a funny way, I am too
In a funny way I think I know what you're all about

See I know the things that have happened to you
And they were awful but you got this far
And I know you think you're not ready to move on, oh

But you are, you are
You are, you are
You are, oh yes you are
You are, you are

Take a look at everything that's in your way
And I will help you to remove it all
I will carry all the bits and pieces of you

And you don't have to be better right away,
But you will laugh again, I promise, one day
And I know you think you're just not capable now, no,

But you are, you are
You are, yes you are
You are, you are
You are, you are

If a thing doesn't kill us, it makes strong
That's what I've learned
And every lesson we learn makes us older
You lost a person you love and you say
"Oh, it broke my heart"
It broke your heart
And you don't think that you're healing
But I told you, you are

Oh you are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are
You are, you are

"Yeah. Track it - nahh, that's cool."
"Yeah."
"Ah, track it better through the speakers man."

I see myself, I fall asleep
I push away, they sigh, and my soul is cheap
I need to learn for all they see
I break away, they sigh, and my hole is deep
Oh, What you say? I fall away
The parent, selfish spy, and my whole is sweet
I see myself, I fall asleep
I push away, they sigh, and my soul is cheap

What you pay if you stay
I better lose a day
If you can fight, son
I better push the bottle

When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away!

Yeah!
Uggggh!

I see myself, I fall asleep
I push away, they sigh, and my soul is cheap
I need to learn for all they see
I break away, they sigh, and my hole is deep
Oh, What you say? I fall away
The parent, selfish spy, and my whole is sweet
I see myself, I fall asleep
I push away, they sigh, and my soul is cheap

What you pay if you stay
I better lose a day
If you can fight, son
You better push the bottle

When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away!
Yeah, we get away!

Oh, what you pay if you stay
I better lose a day
If you can fight, son
You better push the bottle

When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away

When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away
When you're coming down, y'know we get away

When you're coming down, y'know we get away!
When you're coming down, y'know we get away!
When you're coming down, y'know we get away!
When you're coming down, y'know we get away!
You know we get away!

Breaking down the boundaries to see if i could do it
And if its hopeless theres no danger of putting myself through it.
And when the time for that is over and i dont know what to say i'll, Deal with it my own way.

'Cause im a whore of love, i fall in love with anyone
and if you give me time, i can be yours
'Cause im a whore of love, i fall in love with anyone, Yeah
and if you give me time, i will be yours

Ohhh, how i fell.

I throw myself in shoulders first, ignore the signs and make it worse
and if you'd like to see it, all you have to do is tell me when
I cant wait to, end up on my own again

And in a few years time, none of this means anything
but i hope i dont forget how i feel now

'Cause im a whore of love, i fall in love with anyone, yeah
and if you give me time, i will be fine
Fine Fine
I'm Fine fine
I'm Fine fine
I'm Fine fine
I'm fine (Thank You for asking)
I'm fine (Thank You for asking)
I'm fine (Thank You for asking)
I'm fine (Thank You for asking)
Im Fine

I am fine

Look me in the eye and hold my head and tell me
that everything i do is pointless and you cannot be swayed
and in the end i'll promise to stay out of your way

but its so much easier to say, so now and i dont care now
whatever else you think of me
'Cause i will forget your face, like i forget to think sometimes

'Cause im a whore of love, i fall in love with anyone
and if you give me time, i can be yours

TV's screwed again
And I'm already bored
In this age of goldfish consciousness
And rock star Gods

How will you react,
Do I blaspheme
If I said
I killed Kurt Cobain

You still wear the face
Of a guy you never knew
Where were all your fucking shirts
When Dobbs and Straight went down
I don't see them out
You're bored again

I killed Kurt Cobain...
We all killed Kurt Cobain

And I'm bored
And when I get bored
I go fucking ape-shit
I beat up on walls
And I fucking hate it

I hate it...

Crack of dawn, every morn, whacking on the tea and then
On my feet in choking heat, back in bed, start again

Working my hands down to the bone in this town
The weight of the world is dragging me all the way down

Twenty years, big ideas and all I've got to show is this
A dead end life, a drunken wife, and all my friends are taking the piss
Man I'm tired, boy I'm tired, I'm a model citizen
Work until the morning then we go to bed and start again!

Working my hands down to the bone in this town
The weight of the world is dragging me all the way down
Where is the girl I was to build my home round?
The weight of the world is dragging me all the way down

It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart

It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart
It's breaking my heart

One two three four!

Well, it's the 25th
We got the day off work
We're rocking out the place

Lookout for mistletoe
Lookout for mistletoe
Or I will kiss your face

2000 years ago a little boy was born
To save the human race
Well it's your birthday
So have a party!
We're sorry about all of that
"Nailed to a cross" business

Everybody is welcome
Yeah Christmas is awesome
Everybody is welcome
Come on!

You got a horrid shirt
You got a comedy sock
You got a gift for you

I got a DVD
I got a DVD
And it was Doctor Who
And if I eat a sprout
You gotta eat a sprout
You gotta suffer too

The dinner's all done
And man we had fun
But knock on the door
Open it for carol singing kids

Everybody is welcome
Yeah Christmas is awesome
Everybody is welcome
Yeah Christmas is awesome
Everybody is welcome
Yeah Christmas is awesome
Everybody is welcome
Yeah Christmas is...

I thought that I
Was full of such
Hope and light
And such love
But all my words
I wrote them for you
And all my songs
I sang them for you

Photos of me
They all show
A staring man
I don't know

You know that I've been
Through all this nonsense with you
And all my words
I broke them for you
And all my plans
I snapped them in two

I could create
Like it was stealing
I love to sing
How I was feeling
I had a soul
That burned for beauty
But who gives a shit?
I must admit
Oh yes

I've lost it a little bit...

I can't breathe
This atmosphere
Wait 'til I get out of here
'Cos I have wasted year after year
And smile I may
But it's insincere my dear

My dear...

Just a big bass line and drums
Got guitarists sucking their thumbs
For a bar or two that's how to do it

Press the keys it makes it swell
I don't pretend I can play very well
But I like what piano brings to it

Before the idea gives way
I press 'Record' and I press 'Play'
'Cos like a pain in my head
It won't let go
Like a beast in my bed
I can't say no
Like a crack in the windshield of my soul
It is agony, Agatha

Just a verse and a chorus now
In my brain, playing around and around
And around on a loop under my bonnet

Sometimes when I'm trying to write songs
I imagine I turn the radio on
And think about what I'd like to hear on it

Thumping drums and chords
That's what I'm all about
Add bass and keyboards
And you've got everyone rocking out! Yeah!

'Cos like a pain in my head
It won't let go
Like a beast in my bed
I can't say no
Like a stain on the carpet of my soul
It is agony, Agatha!

It is all you need, Agatha
It is agony...

[No lyrics]

Soft little body
Swollen by the sun
Waiting for the break
That he knows will never come
Four brittle limbs
Weak from under-use
And a head full of words

Long green hair
Funny looking dude
Big mouth on him
And a wicked attitude
And at first impression
He must seem kind of rude
But he does his best, yeah?

And anyway...

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue

I want to be just like you
In all I do

Jimmy got drunk
On his way to class
Swinging from the roof
Showed everyone his ass
And if you ask him why
He shakes his head and laughs
"There was nothing for it"

Stacy got laid
Boyfriend number one!
Took him to her room
And had a little fun
She's wearing out her voice
Telling everyone
And you can't ignore it

And anyway...

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

I'm walking home
Beside you
Your hair is long and blonde
And your eyes are both bright blue

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

Really cool tattoo...

It's only 'cos I like you
You are everything I wish I could be
And maybe if I'm like you
Baby would you like me?

You're dressed
Like a Victorian at a swimming pool
You're dressed
Like a deadly lethal ninja assassin
All in black

I want to be just like you...

I want to be
Just like you
Get myself a job
And a really cool tattoo

I made you Trent Reznor
Spinning on his back
With a motorised action
You made me
A red and black scarf
I wear it round my neck
But no motorised action

No motorised action...

[No lyrics]

There is a thing that I know that does it better than me
And I haven't wanted to be all the things I can be
And I'd bash it all away, if I could
If I believed that it would make me good.
Good.

To us it is the way I am built
To us it is the way I deal with things
To us I am an old, old man
And if I can't take your sex
I'll take your hand

Stick close to me and I will keep you safe
Nothing is important to me any more except for you
Don't lie to me I think I've earned the truth
I am good
I am good

And if I could hold you down and drown you in my arms
I would
If I could freeze you now to keep you as you are
I would

I am good
I am good
I am good

I won't hear
So don't say it
Don't say it
Don't say it
Don't say it

Stick close to me and I won't let you go
All if this is worth it if it means a thing to you
So suffer me, that is all you can do
I am good
I am good

If I could hold you down and drown you in my arms
I would
If I could freeze you now to keep you as you are
I would
