1. _ Royal Correspondent
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
You've been this way since school
Dysfunctional, translucent
Royalty on your wall
So desperately mundane
They're inbred baby just like you
But you'd love the chance to eat their food
Even though it has been chewed
Royal correspondent
Sad and lonely
Royal correspondent
Kills her daily
Dream of the daily mail
It is the holy grail
And then the bbc
Your life would be complete
Build a fountain, wash away the poor
Just as long as your motives are pure
Hold on tight or you just might lose her
Royal correspondent
Wears their sunday best
Royal correspondent
Smarter than the rest
Royal correspondent
Smarter than the rest
Royal correspondent
Smarter than the rest
Royal correspondent
Smarter than the rest
Royal correspondent
Smarter than the rest
Smarter than the rest

2. _ Baby Elian
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Blockades won't win you more votes
A cuban adjustment act
Offer the world a dream
Dress it up - it's blackmail
Internal matter they say
For two million dollars a day
Maybe a future in film
But cuban boxers still win
Kidnapped - to the promised land
The bay of pigs
Or baby elian
Operation - peter pan
America
The devil's playground
Baby elian
Baby elian
Across the unfair divide
Where black will never meet white
So read my token lips
As if they never exist
You cannot buy a nation
Not even the miami mob
We follow a shining path
That you will never destroy
Kidnapped - to the promised land
The bay of pigs
Or baby elian
Operation - peter pan
America
The devil's playground
You don't just sit in a rocking chair
When you've built a revolution
You don't just sit in a rocking chair
When you've built a revolution
Baby elian
Baby elian

3. _ Ocean Spray
Lyrics by james dean bradfield, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Me-totemo-utsukushi-i-desu-ne
Totemo-utsukushi-i-me-wo-shitemasu
It's easy to see, it's easy to see
To see only white where colour should be
It's easy to feel, it's easy to feel
But it's not good enough, even though it's real
Oh please stay away
And then we can drink some ocean spray
Oh please stay away
And then we can drink some ocean spray
It's easy to breathe, it's easy to grieve
To breathe only air where life should be
It's easy to laugh, it's easy to cry
To cry so so hard that it can't be denied
Oh please stay awake
And then we can drink some ocean spray
Oh please stay awake
And then we can drink some ocean spray
Oh please stay awake
And then we can drink some ocean spray
Oh please stay awake
And then we can drink some ocean spray

4. _ My Guernica
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
I'm small and i'm tired
I'm blurred to bits and wired
I'm nothing in this universe
Nothing but pieces of dust
Appearing in more repeats
The mirror man has seen defeat
Hide away, be old and grey
Alfred j prufrock would be proud of me
Keep it together - hold it together
Keep it together - hold it together
Little someone in my own little guernica
Sleep so heavy that it's out of the question
Little someone in my own little guernica
Wake up and pour myself another ice-breaker
Going now so happy and so loose
Making bigger holes in my stomach
Losing losing split down the middle
With no end and no beginning
I'm small and i'm tired
I'm blurred to bits and wired
I'm nothing in this universe
Nothing but pieces of dust
Keep it together - hold it together
Keep it together - hold it together
Little someone in my own little guernica
Sleep so heavy that it's out of the question
Little someone in my own little guernica
Wake up and pour myself another ice-breaker
Keep it together - hold it together
Keep it together - hold it together
Little someone in my own little guernica
Sleep so heavy that it's out of the question
Little someone in my own little guernica
Wake up and pour myself another ice-breaker
Ice-breaker
Ice-breaker
Ice-breaker

5. _ The Convalescent
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
My bedroom wall recalls what's in my head
A collage constructed and constantly fed
Goya mixes picasso but it's hardly spain
Look through the window, pissing down with rain
Lovely labradors outnumber musicians
Bonnie and clyde have made their good intentions
Pity poor payne stewart in a death bubble
But what a swing and so much bottle
So i convalesce and i ease the stress
Cos dna means does not accept
So i convalesce and i ease the stress
Cos dna means does not accept
Kleenex kitchen towels and teletext tv
My favourite inventions of the twentieth century
Haile gebrselassie looks so sweet and young
Eyes quickly shift to jack kevorkian
Uneven and tidal all with exit policies
Followed by anti-ballistic migraines
And brian warner has a tasty little ass
Scared of cash machines and the mardi gras
So i convalesce and i ease the stress
Cos dna means does not accept
So i convalesce and i ease the stress
Cos dna means does not accept
Alberto juanterino unique in his field
These are the things that, that make you feel
Klaus kinski with love off werner herzog
Scream until the war is over
Scream until the war is over
Srebrenica cousin of treblinka
Scream until the war is over
War is over
And dante's inferno slides into dismorphia
So scream until the war is over
So i convalesce and i ease the stress
Cos dna means does not accept
So i rehabilitate and get my body straight
Cos nothing fits like it used to fit

6. _ Dead Martyrs
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Dead martyrs
All stigmartys
Dead heroes
For fear of zeroes
Dead martyrs
Always take it further
Dead heroes
Know no fear
Living for some happiness
Find nothing that satisfies
Had a beginning but it got no end
Got no future
Just dead stars for dead eyes
Got no future
Just dead stars for dead eyes
Got no future
Dead stars are always the blackest
Dead heroes the living empty
Dead martyrs hang on forever
Dead martyrs always take it further
Living for some happiness
Find nothing that satisfies
Had a beginning but it got no end
Got no future
Just dead stars for dead eyes
Got no future
Just dead stars for dead eyes
Got no future
Got no future
Just dead stars for dead eyes
Got no future
Just dead stars for dead eyes
Got no future

7. _ Let Robeson Sing
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Where are you now?
Broken up or still around?
The cia says you're a guilty man
Will we see the likes of you again?
Can anyone make a difference anymore?
Can anyone write a protest song?
Pinky lefty revolutionary
Burnt at the stake for
A voice so pure - a vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Went to cuba to meet castro
Never got past sleepy moscow
A giant man with a heavenly voice
Mk ultra turned you paranoid
No passport 'til 1958
Mccarthy poisoned through with hate
Liberty lost still buried today
Beneath the lie of the usa
Say what you want
Say what you want
A voice so pure - a vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Now let the freedom train come zooming down the track
Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black
Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white
Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight
Stopping in the country in the wide open air
Where there never was a jim crow sign nowhere
And no lilly-white committees, politicians of note
Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote
And there won't be no kinda color lines
The freedom train will be yours
And mine
A voice so pure - a vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Sing it loud, sing it proud
I will be here, i will be found
Sing it loud, sing it proud
I will be here, i will be found

9. _ Epicentre
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
We use ourselves like politicians
For all the money and indecision - indecision
Indecision
Feels like there's no escape
Except through my hate
Second hand germ warfare
Denied oxygen everywhere
Like a stunned fox - with memory loss
A sad numb creature - i worship the painkiller
It is my epicentre
It is my epicentre
Non-existent energy adrenalin my god
Still clinging to the umbilical chord - umbilical chord
I'm breaking and i'm shaking - so delete the feeling
Beneath the real thing - delete the feeling - delete the feeling
Like a stunned fox - with memory loss
A sad numb creature - i worship the painkiller
It is my epicentre
It is my epicentre
I'm sleeping myself away
Into the blurred life of yesterday
I'm tip-tip-a-tapping tip-tip-a-tapping
My nerves are destroyed
Feels like there's no escape
Except through my hate
Second hand germ warfare
Denied oxygen everywhere
Like a stunned fox - with memory loss
A sad numb creature - i worship the painkiller
This is my epicentre
This is my epicentre
You don't drink - you don't get high
So make sure you take your medicine boy
You don't drink - you don't get high
So make sure you take your medicine boy
This is my epicentre

10. _ His Last Painting
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
The nothing in me
The apostle in me
No interpretation
For the heart of me
I can't see right from my wrong
I've loved so much that i can't go on
It's not my life anymore
Don't speak the truth anymore
All of the hope and the dreams
Ripped right open at the seams
I can't see right from my wrong
I've loved so much that i can't go on
Seems like i've lost myself
To everybody and everything else
I've lied again today
People laugh at it all the time
I can't see right from my wrong
I've loved so much that i can't go on
It's not my life anymore
Don't speak the truth anymore
All of the hope and the dreams
Ripped right open at the seams
I can't see right from my wrong
I've loved so much that i can't go on
The nothing in me
The nothing in me
The apostle in me
No interpretation
For the heart of me
The nothing in me
The apostle in me
The nothing in me
The apostle in me
The nothing in me

12. _ So Why So Sad
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Things get clear when i feel free
When whatever's next comes easily
When gentle hands give life to me
When your eyes fill with tiny tears
When i'm this still you are my life
When i'm this still you are my life
So at ease in the midnight sky
So at ease in the midnight sky
But my insides will look like war
My insides will look like war
Paralysed except through my thought
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
My smile as real as a hyena's
My smile as real as a hyena's
Burns an expressway to my skull
Burns an expressway to my skull
But i'll stick myself together again
Spirit so low that i no longer pretend
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
So why so sad
You live and you love
So why so sad
Dependent on above
Searching for the dead sea scrolls
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad
So why, so why so sad

13. _ Intravenous Agnostic
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Into a vein exhibit the derelict
A secular mosaic distracted at birth
A cubist abstraction let it live forever
Narcissim so lonely so live by the sea
What a mess
Cosmetic - polemic
Distinguished by relics
Destructive aesthetic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous
Brutality is needed in capitalist society
Television abandoned my very entity
Nature failed me
But then it made me
We all pray for pluralist babies
Cosmetic - polemic
Distinguished by relics
Destructive aesthetic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous
Dismayed - dispossessed
Life becomes calvanist
So sparkle and believe
Linguistics die easily
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous agnostic
Intravenous

14. _ The Year Of Purification
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Detoxification
Purification
The ravaged corner
Cold and embittered
Run away - run away as fast as you can
From anything that needs discipline
The year of purification
The year of purification
Deification
Depopulation
Crescendo of craving
Sullen and distorted
Run away - run away as fast as you can
From anything that needs discipline
The year of purification
The year of
The year of purification
The year of purification
What have i said?
What have i said again?
I regret everything
Moral little shit-kickers
Liberal asinine pricks
Run away - run away as fast as you can
From anything that needs discipline
The year of purification
The year of
The year of purification

15. _ Freedom Of Speech Won't Feed My Children
Lyrics by nicky wire, music by james dean bradfield and sean moore
Liberty, sweet liberty
Charitable respectability
Then pacifism killed us all
For all the tourists on the berlin wall
So we protest about human rights
Worship obesity as our birthright
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
We love to kiss the dalai lama's ass
Because he is such a holy man
Free to eat and buy anything
Free to fuck from paris to beijing
Little boys with dangerous toys
All bow down to the beastie boys
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Royalty - hereditery - unelected and becalmed
Just like stalin, just like stalin
Human and useless
Bomb the chinese embassy
The west is free, oh the west is free
Laugh at the hammer and sickle
It is antique, oh it is antique
And see the love in richard gere's eyes
Js pemberton saved our lives
But freedom of speech won't feed my children
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
Just brings heart disease and bootleg clothing
