You wannabe a star
You wannabe remembered for who you are
You wannabe on top
You wanna show the world what you got
He’s got the power, he always wins
The puppet master as he reels you in
He’d sell your mother to make a deal
The end of music long live ITV
Reality where is the myth
And everything outside of it
For he exists to tell you all
Burst your bubble you boys and girls
He doesn’t care the money’s good
The talent show tattooed on his
Nowhere to go cause it’s all gone
Cause yesterday was 15 minutes long
What do you do
You did real good yeah
What do you do
You did real good
You know I’m going to make it

Lucky
02:46
|
|||
I’m so tired of being broke
It’s hard enough being alone
To weather these storms
I’m so sorry I let you down
If I only I knew the way
To get ourselves out
Are you blinkered or are you kind?
Are we one, or are we one big divide?
But remember, please, we are lucky!
I don’t know why I get so sad
I guess it feels like Gaia’s gone mad
And there’s no escape
I try and do just what I can
To help my fellow man
But it’s not enough
We’re so lucky

Bitter
02:31
|
|||
If I could take back
I’d start all over
You were my friend
You were my lover
I can’t believe it
The way it turns out
If we could have it all
Life is not about that
It’s bitter
Bitter sweet
I can’t believe it
I blame it on them
They promise everything
What were they thinking of
Happy I lie down
Sorrow my right hand
You have to feel the pain
It cannot stay the same
I can’t believe this

Never Want To Be Alone
03:28
|
|||
I want to hit the road
On the back of your motorbike
Feel the wind in the drop out sky
Chase horizons
Cheat death alive
I want to go to Spain
Eat the oranges and feel the pain
Climb the mountains
Down Tarifa and surf away
Never want to be alone
I want to swim in the sea
I want to be free
Taste the salt in my hair and skin
Let it all, let it all sink in
I never went but I will go
In dreams where the sky is blue
The icy lake the cracks Spring
The desert sands that bronze my skin
Never want to be alone
On these lonely nights

Sanctuary
05:11
|
|||
I saw it come did you see it too
This city was shaped by just a few
Built on hope and concrete pen
Paper pusher gambling men
Many things said, the same thing again
Beg and borrow but the debt is high
I have a place a shelter now
The storm will pass if I keep my head down
Days of gold
That’s what they all want
infrared ultra violet nights
I can’t believe its true
That none of them knew
I am your brother
I am your sister
This system let us down
I had a father
Fear for my mother
I feel for everyone now
We will be once again
Keep ourselves locked away
Time did tell the sad grey face
What will rise from ash and waste
No safe place no sanctuary
We climbed the boat to sail the sea
The pilot failed to set us free
Let these unchartered waters be yeah

Digital
02:43
|
|||
I wanted you so badly
I know you understand
I was drawn to you like a magnet pulling me
We’ve been here since 1999
I need to move on I guess
But I’m stuck in time
It’s going Digital
I still got VHS and tapes inside my car
I want to record but it won’t let me
I’ve been here seen it all change since 1999
I want to let it go
See it loose control
Why can’t I feel it now
Be moved again somehow

Pandora
02:49
|

What was the box that was opened by us
That held all the secrets that once were locked up
Told to keep back keep far away
Nobody listened to a word they say
So what was that box that held all the dark
That nothing could shine no stars up above
It swallowed the moon like a big black hole
Let out a gas that covered the world
Pandora open up your box
Pandora what you got
Pandora come, come
Pandora open up
It was our desire to know it all
The need to discover for man will fall
A high pitch sound screamed out the top
Cover the land made fools of us
The only thing left as it choked the rig
Was hope at the bottom written in ink
Rings in the earth till it hit the core
There it struck gold then it hit some more
Come Come

Fitter
02:56
|
|||
Caught in the middle of a blazing fire
Stopped in the headlights of a speeding car
Over and above board running off course
Thunder and humidity the Summer that was killing me
Run through the nettles bare legs are bleeding
Buried and broken lying in the dry breeze
Heads all mixed up breathing out of whack
You know you can’t let them stab you in the back now
I want to get much fitter
I want to live forever
I want you to love my body
For all time
Cut off all my hair it is just a symbol
Mark my lips blue eyes in shadow
Got to make a change before the freeze
I’m running on empty think I got a fever
Caught in a rut I think I’m still stuck
Can’t quite make out what it all was
I know it made you feel so sad
Got to pick yourself up and work it all out
All the time
I want to run, I always want to run

Mister Lighter
02:47
|

Do you know the key
I’ve been looking everywhere
He’ll show you the back door where they hide
With all the grease and dirt left behind
Mister Lighter Mister Lighter than myself
He’ll sell you a ticket he’ll sell you a cruise
So you don’t have to be yourself
I’ve got all the things you desire
In my pocket I’ve got dreams for sale
I’ve colour, I’ve got freedom in my hand
Don’t you want to feel it, said the man

Aluminium Man
02:58
|
|||
This is your new husband
He’ll do anything you want
He’s a robot so he won’t answer back
He’s very loyal and understands
Every mood that you may have
He does all the things that you ask him too
Aluminium man
He’s my metal man
Made out of aluminium cans
So can my metal man
This is your new boyfriend
He’ll do everything he can
He’ll take you out and ring you all the time
You can trust him he won’t stray
Cause he’s programmed that way
He’s your Yes Sir ‘I will’
This is your new lover
He’ll do anything he can
To meet all of your desires in bed
He’s very strong he’ll turn you on
Tell you, you are the one
He’s your battery powered robotic man

Sound the battle horn this is my war
I’ve been told it’s my destiny
Will you tell me your secrets
I need to make this long journey home
If you cross me and I cross you
It’s not voodoo but I have the power
I can cut you I can take
I was born leader on this earth
If you trust me and I like you
I will champion your cause
It may take years but be patient
Cause it’s worth the weight in gold
There may be a price you can pay it
You may feel like giving up
Do not give in too soon
For regret is poison the blood
Beware of greed it took my men
The lotus eaters and all the women
And the horse that saved your life
The journeys still a long way from home
I’ll avenge any two faced liar
I won’t believe no magicians tricks
Nor the creatures that haunt you
Or any man that fakes his death
I’m a pilgrim and a soldier
I’ve come to free this land
From the infidel and corruption
I’m here to lead you back home
This journey overseas
The trouble I have seen
Good fortune, bad weather
The future’s tough but it’s not bleak
I’ll take you forward you got to trust me
I want to go home, the deeds are done
I want to see my lover cause it’s been too long

Come Back
03:21
|

Token terrifying beauty broken
Love like we do memory spoken
Trusting hopeful sadness dutiful
Youthful kindness that was we used to do
Lazy lying hiding in the long grass
Long time glued with both of our lips locked
Roses bleeding hours that crumble
Beauty like I’ve never seen I was just so humble
Come back come back don’t leave me
I need your more than ever
I know you don’t believe me
When I said this will last forever so please
Don’t you leave don’t you leave
Journeys we took life was unpredicted
Spurred on innocent everything so new then
Clean cut sweet scent long hair in your airs
Interest plans set free loose and moveable
Love strange curious it made me feel so ill then
Heart sink anxious waiting for the big change
Wonder secret hidden from the camera
Eyes wide hoping we were far too busy then

Crash and Burn
02:39
|
|||
I met this guy
He seemed so nice
But had it all
Written in his face
I knew this girl
She told about it
She was such a shade
And she broke it when she turned around
She had him under her nails
Crash and Burn
The postman always rings twice
Smash and Turn
Your hit and run was witnessed
I know you CEO
Your face is mud
Bloody money that you stole from us
From your beleaguered bank
Can you forgive yourself
Your conscious must weigh
But you’re a catholic
Confession is your getaway

On and On
02:52
|

Sometimes you stop feel like giving up
Then I see you, you say I should not
Look on the bright side what you’ve achieved
I know it’s so hard to see wood for the trees
Down to my fingers I feel the strain
I’m scared of failing I’m always afraid
If I stop now it will all fade away
Never say never, that’s what you always say
On and on and on and on this road keeps going on
On and on and on and on this river keeps flowing on
Doubtless of mind, I couldn’t feel
Is anyone out there, is anyone here
The gate will stay open just keep it in mind
What you have done and all that you find
