Father’s Day
This is a love song
A love of hate for you
And it’s just because you never told me
What only you knew
You can never find me
Because I’m right behind you
Don’t misunderstand me
I hate you so much when I smile
Well you can make mock names
To your heart’s content
And caricature the same
About someone else
Fill me in
To your heart’s content
But I won’t do the same
To someone else
Well you don’t know how it feels
To be in the middle
Knock her down like a skittle
Just like you knocked her down
When she was little
Journey To The Centre
Heart is beating low
Heart is beating low
Again and again
Where are my friends
Again and again
Where are my friends
We’ve come through it all
We’ve come through it all
Yeh yeh yeh, yeh yeh yeh
Heart is beating low
Heart is beating low
Again and again
Where are my friends
Again and again
Where are my friends
We’ve come through it all
We’ve come through it all
Yeh yeh yeh, yeh yeh yeh
Oh this morning when I woke
I half woke, I half woke up
This morning when I woke
I half woke, I half woke up
Minus You
Again you feel yourself
Curling up to a ball
In a state and accepted
But it’s you they’ll scrape off the floor
From speaking minds
To prising thighs
Of all the people that seem okay
Maybe you’ve learned
That happiness
Is only an acquired taste
But you wish you were
Wish you were
Something you are not
Wish you were
Wish you were
Wish you were
Wish you were
Something you are not
Wish you were
Wish you were
Minus you
Why do you feel that it’s too late
Lift yourself out of this cycle
Of their abuse and their mind games
Though confused minds
Can open thighs
And all these people, they seem alright
Maybe you’ll learn that your
Loneliness against their happiness
Will suffice
But you wish you were
Wish you were
Something you are not
Wish you were
Wish you were
Wish you were
Wish you were
Something you are not
Wish you were
Wish you were
Wish you were
Something you are not
Wish you were
Wish you were
You wish you were
Wish you were
Something you are not
Wish you were
Wish you were
Minus you
But you wish you were
Wish you were
Something you are not …
But you are not
Our Place
You know we’ve got so much to believe in
And we can never get enough
We shine like stars every weekend
Now we’re taking all of the fun
’Cause we now know our place
And we will never be, never be the same again
’Cause you lift me up on my way down
I love you when you show me how
It really doesn’t matter to me
All sometimes young, sometimes old
Been there warm, been there cold
You’re all that really matters to me
Yes you know we’ve got so much to believe in
And we can never get too much
To shine like a star follow these steps
Step one, we’ll never be on our own
’Cause we know our place
And we will never be, never be the same again
’Cause you lift me up on my way down
I love you when you show me how
It really doesn’t matter to me
All sometimes young, sometimes old
Been there warm, been there cold
You’re all that really matters to me
Psycho Killer
I can’t seem to face up to the facts
I’m tense and nervous and I can’t relax
I can’t sleep ’cause my bed’s on fire
Don’t touch me I’m a real live wire
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa fa-fa-far
Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa fa-fa-far
Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
You start a conversation
And you can’t even finish it
You’re talking a lot but not saying anything
When I have nothing to say
My lips are sealed
Say something once
Why say it again
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa fa-fa-far
Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh no, psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa fa-fa-far
Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Oh what I did that night
Oh what she said last night
Realising my hopes
I rush towards glory
We are vain and we are blind
I hate people when they’re not polite
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa fa-fa-far
Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Psycho killer, qu’est-ce que c’est?
Fa-fa-fa-fa, fa-fa fa-fa-far
Better run, run, run, run, run, run, run, run away
Speechless
Another day, slips away
Another night, passes by
Around, around now, I should be waiting
Waiting somehow
But you know, it’s not working … out
I like your move from the start
And now it’s hitting you hard
And there is nothing for us to say
It doesn’t matter how far
Or who you are
Now that there’s nothing for us to say
Some other day, maybe
Some other night, it could be fun
Around, around now
No more waiting
No more letting us down
I like your move from the start
I’m hitting you hard
And there is nothing for us to say
Or doesn’t matter how far
Or who you are
Now that there’s nothing for us to say, to say
Yeh yeh yeh yeah
I like your move from the start
And it’s hitting you hard
And there is nothing for us to say
It doesn’t matter how far
Or who you are
Now that there’s nothing for us to say
Yeh yeh yeah
The Collector
Through a drunken night-time vision that was growing faint
You stumble across a body, defining it
It being the care-free beauty of all
All of the things that you value
You wanna take on board
Collector, he collects you
Love for her, you’re just another
But as your worlds become more twisted and involved
You find it’s only you that’s bleeding with no-one to hold
You are frustrated and full to the brim with anxiety
You would kill to be the main lover
And it’s nearly complete
Collector, he collects you
Love for her, you’re just another
La la la la … collector, collector
The Present
She seems a little lost, with Nazi golden locks
She is drawn to my dirt, whenever I’m hurt
And need to be cured
This city never stops
We never do what we should
When our stops, that’s what I really love
And take it from the top
All that I wanted was to give you something
That I thought that you needed
We’ll get through the night and survive for a while
She cut through my frost
With Nazi golden locks
I am drawn to the girl who seems to be hurt
But wants to be loved
Our heads never stop
We never do what we should
But when her laugh stops
Guess what I really love
To start again from the top
All that I wanted was to give you something
That I thought that you needed
We’ll get through the night and survive
Violent Men
There sits a little girl
And she can not handle
The pain of this world
I wonder when she’ll move on
And I wonder if she’ll just run
Leaving family men, violent men
She’s running from men, running
I didn’t want to get in a fight
But it’s already on your roster tonight
I’m clinging on to your clothes
And to feel your leather and to smell your leather
The feeling of power is yours not mine
I’ve seen this happen a million times
Why don’t you stop when you see me cry?
Can you carry on with tears in my eyes?
Left behind on the floor
And I really want to say here
From the sight that I just saw
I didn’t really see you at all
Because the girl in front of me
Was myself when I was small
And now she’s running from men, run, run
I didn’t want to get in a fight
But it’s already on your roster tonight
I’m clinging on to your clothes
And to feel your leather and to smell your leather
The feeling of power is yours not mine
I’ve seen this happen a billion times
And all your hands just cheer
When I’m as white as a sheet with fear
There she lies
And there she will deprive
Herself from being a family man
Of violent men
Because a family man, a violent man
She’s running from men
She’s gonna run, run from men
Waiting For No-one
You sit in a smokey room
You’re doing what you do
Waiting for someone
Waiting for no-one
You think about going out
But the pubs will have closed by now
Not that there’s anyone
That you know in there
You can’t say those last words
Alone but so strong
But tell me how long can you go on with just songs?
Tomorrow when we arise
And wipe the guilt from our eyes
What am I feeling?
Who am I missing?
As the same hailstorm blows hard
And think grey clouds follow your life down
You’re not in a frame of mind
It’s easier going down
But you yourself are the only one
Who can take me away
You sit in an empty room
You’ve stopped doing what you do
Waiting to come down so you can go out
You decide against going out
Because the people can offer you now
And your mind is made up
You’re gonna give up
You can’t say those last words
Alone but so strong
But tell me how long is gonna go on?
Tomorrow when we arise
And wipe the famine from our eyes
What am I feeling?
Who am I missing?
As the same hailstorm blows hard
And think grey clouds follow your life down
Oh, you’re not in the frame of mind
And it’s easier going down
You know you are the only one
Who can turn it around
Everybody has their doubts
If you think about it now
They don’t mean to hurt you
It’s just the way that you see them
