2 foot long and your neck keeps growing
10 foot tall, 'round your head it's snowing
25 grand and you work 3 hours
15 girls through a hole in your trousers

Bigger, better, faster, more
You're much more cooler than you were before
Bigger, better, cooler than me
You've slayed 10 dragons before you've had your tea

For so long
For so long i've been asking you please
Please moronica stay
For so long
For so long i've been telling you please
Please moronica haze
For so long
For so long you've listened to me

You're much more attractive than kathy pitkin
You've had more spinsters than rumplestiltskin
You think you're cooler than all the roses
Sniffin' ajax up both your noses

How could you forget your faith
How could you forget your faith
I've been telling you so long
Please don't go
In my face
This will be the place

You've got more halos than simon templar
You've said more betty's than frankie spencer
Your gun is bigger than captain scarlet's
Your face is covered in cheap mascara
2 foot long and your neck keep growing
10 foot tall, 'round your head it's snowing
25 grand and you work 3 hours
15 girls through a hole in your trousers, yeah

I'm gonna sit on my own, maybe all alone
I'm gonna lie on the couch, but i won't go out
She'll take it easy again, ending up in hell
Just like the scum of the earth, but i'll crash here first

We're all in this together
Ski jump nose forever

Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, i don't wanna talk about it

She's gonna get herself out from her plastic town
She's gonna get out her house, gonna get down south
She'll take it easy again, she'll end up in hell
She's only playing the game, change her name again

You were the seven deadly sins
Making sense in your 'screw me' dress
The beautiful ones just slip away
To a mirror where we used to kiss

With your disco heartbeat
You're not even human
We're so electric
Do you have no passion?

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Everything i touch
Just falls to bits

So trust in me
It brings us close
Electric man
Will save our souls

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

So i took advice and changed a little
Hope that others like me more
Hope that you would trust me once again
Once again, once again
I am lonely once again
I hope that you would trust me once again

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
Bring your sunshine, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
Ooo-ooh, ooh-ooh, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooo-ooh, ooh-ooh, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
(repeats to fade)

Bigger head, you got no bread in our house
Now look how you have got like this

Now they sleep in seperate bedrooms
Since they missed the jackpot on family fortunes
Yeah, oh yeah

How long, how long to go
Do you think that we are funny if we do it alone
How long, how long to go
Ain't it funny if we carry on they know we will moan
How long, how long to go

Stupid sod, you shout the odds in our town
You buy a box and call it home

You've never been that much of a thinker, oh
Been a secret lemonade drinker, wanker, oh, oh-oh

Wake up and look at all these things i bring you
Living on the handouts you collect in a cake tin

Quiet morning nothing moves and
We can hear you breathe
Early morning the roads are clear and
All you hear, and all you hear is me

They don't ever go to sleep
They don't have the time to keep
Time to keep

The world's still open while we're all asleep
And they don't really care
And maybe all the shops have closed their doors
And gone into their little homes

Kicking bottles and moving things
To make us feel confused
Leaving clues for us to find
The things that they, the things that they have used

I'm sure i heard you talking
I'm sure you sent them to bug me
They will never be sent home

Dear mavis i'm compelled to write this letter
In the hope that you may soon be getting better
I've a feeling you should go and see a doctor
If you haven't then you know you really oughta
I was worried so i went to see the vicar
But before i could confess he first confessed to be a stripper

Dear mavis it was very strange to see him
So i thought i'd write and ask your opinion
Should i grass on him, report him to the cardinal
Or wether i should egg him on to turn professional
If i dob on him they'll call him plastic scouser
But the only thing the stripper wears is plastic trousers

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek
Mavis' opinion is all we

Should we lie while he's still alive
Should we lie while he's still alive
'cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

Dear mavis thought i'd follow up my letter
Drop a line about the fate of our poor vicar
Very tragically his time on earth is ended
Found him gagged and bound in stockings and suspenders
Dear mavis if you tell us what our thoughts are
And i hope that they're not biased 'cos you are the vicar's daughter

Mavis' opinion is all we really seek
Mavis' opinion is all we

Should we lie now that he has died
Should we lie now that he has died
'cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it

And we know him as our vicar
And by night a part-time stripper
And the vicar got suspended
In his stockings and suspenders
And he's making wine from water
While he dresses like his daughter
And we know that he's a rip off
'cos we've seen him with his kit off

Should we lie now that he has died
Should we lie now that he has died
'cos when the vicar strips he gets away with it, oh fuck

Yes i'm sick of this
England's shit
It's slashing down
We are drowned
Star is here
Drinking beer
Star is scrawled
On my wall
C.i.d.
They follow me
I kidnap star
In my car
A t.v.r.
We'll drive to prague
And stop at mars
And we'll be

Taking star, oh yeah, to l.a.
We'll drive to vegas for the day
We want to sit, oh yeah, in the sun
And take it easy
Take it easy

Mam's got cake
Belly ache
Feeling sick
Through kuwait
Stole a tank
Drove to france
Star's amazed
In a trance
M53
Hit a tree
Crashed my car
I killed star
Stowaway
On a ship
Dodge the pigs
What a trip

I'll press my face up to your railings
I'll listen, you've still got a little unused pain
A little hurt
A little further

Don't burn your hand on the window
If you just want to take in the view
Don't you bend my wicked mind
With your mumbo-jumbo torture
If it's all the same to you
It's all the same...

Here we are, we're here forever
We're gone tomorrow, why i might not even bother
But you're lovely and dark
It's getting darker now

You press your face to my railings
I've still got a little unused pain
I'll shoot you down
With my good-luck paradox
With my teeth and my brain
With my teeth and my brain

My death, it's holy and awesome
It's as common as muck on a spade
I'm not afraid now
I'm not afraid now

I hang glass from the wall, it makes my life seem big
Mirrors hang from my wall, to make my world seem big

You forced me to do things i wasn't aware of
And this is our secret and everyone does this
My future is written in closed circuit evidence
Me and my self-denial will keep you from justice and free

I wriggle and squirm as you try to convince me
And everyone stares, they know what i've been up to
The pressure engulfing me, memories orbiting me
Fits epiletic in waves leaping over me

No contact of flesh and no tongues and no touching
No fear of disease and i can't take my clothes off
I want to get fucked like a whore in a porno, it's me
Don't tell anybody, it's our dirty secret, it's me

I will protect you and shield you, prevent you from danger
You've intruded and taken away all my sweetness
But somehow these mirrors they make my existence seem bigger
Somehow these mirrors they make my existence seem bigger

I hideout from the fakes i know
The secret lies in keeping small

Catching on with such arrogance
A behaviour so typical
And i'm sick of the fakes i know
So i hide out here on my own

My memories they don't count in time
What i have, keep it to myself

If i start this small debate
The centre of the universe is gone for sale
If my melody should fall
The tune is unimportant as i said before
Or did i say it was the words, i should

Standing in grey lantern light
Mavis looking sexy through her dress it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines

I can't see you, i love you, i miss you
I can't see you, i love you, i do

If i feel god watching me
I control the actions of his destiny
So my sentiments ring true
Feel him in the mirror laughing back at you
Or did i tell you how it seems, i should

If i start this small debate
The centre of the universe is gone for sale
And so my melody did fall
The tune was unimportant as i said before
Or did i saw it was the words, i should

Photographic duchess, cousin of the queen
I've been infatuated duchess since i knew you had the queen

It's the way you move in castle grounds
You are the cousin of the queen for christ's sake

Duchess i will like you
And that says a lot for me
I'd like you even better duchess
If she died and you were queen

Regal by appointment, relation to the queen
I thought you were attractive duchess
But that clinched it all for me

Sometimes you're here at my side
And sometimes you travel in time
I don't believe that wherever you travel
You'd get an assistant like mine

Needing, dying, parasite the same
Just to be removed from all your ways

I know that you know
I know you know
I know you know
I know that you know

Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
The impending collapse of it all

I can feel it, preconditioned fall
Recognise the fear inside us all
Knowing all that's ever gone before
Understand collapsing of it all

Feed this insect inside me
Watch my time drippin' off from the walls
This silence and stillness
Like a glove with the fingers withdrawn
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what i know

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building
Living in a body bag
I'm waiting, i'm waiting

Resurrection of memory
All the thing i remember i hold
A virtual impression
Of a life that i'm building alone
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what i know

So what do i believe in
I walked away from a million gods
To keep me safe from dying

I'm sure i've been here once before
I'm sure i've been here once before

I'll end up where i begin
I'll get back here in the end
I'll end up where i begin

So what do i believe in
I believe everything i read
Helps me make excuses

Things keep falling off buildings
Things keep falling into my path
I keep on dodging projectiles
They fall from scaffolds on building sites

Falling before me to save
Scraping for forgiveness
You tell me that
I know and you know we're the same

Sitting up here with my pear tree
I piss on everybody who i should see
I'm twice as angry as you are
You're half as happy as i could be

Fingers severed on a mirrors edge
Isolated with no respect
Conversation has been replaced
Punctured slowly ideas escape
My possessions are all i have
One man's medicine poisons man
My subconscious knowledge safe

In my coma, in my coma again
In my coma, in my coma again, again
In my coma, in my coma again

Get respectable faces donned
Turn blind eyes to what's gone on
Slowly leak ideas through
Would you recognise i knew
Used expressions to converse
In my coma i do not hurt
Feel much better but i'm still not cured

You see my fear looks like laughter
That's why you'll never hear me scream
And i'm learning to rule in my simian shoes
Tradition has absorbed the sickest things
(another fear looks like laughter)

And they're grabbing with paws
Somewhere i am not safe
In their animal's place
Claustrophobia maze
Ideology faked for a simian race

Trip me up
I become a nervous wreck
Put me in a padded cage
And i call it my domain
With my shoelace trip me up
I become a nervous wreck
Put me in a padded cage
And i call it my domain

I know my fear looks like laughter
That's why you'll never see me scream
And i'm learning to rule in my simian shoes
Tradition has absorbed the sickest things
(another fear looks like laughter)

Action, feeling, need in spite of pain
Fear is in it's absence once again
Needing, dying, parasite the same
Just to be removed from all your ways

I know that you know
I know that you know
I know that you know
I know you know

Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
The impending collapse of it all

I can feel it, preconditioned fall
Recognise the fear inside us all
Knowing all that's ever gone before
Understand collapsing of it all

Stand up, you sit down
'cos your ceiling's too low, there's no chairs on the ground
See you, you see me
And my views are obscured by your giant t.v.

These things mean so much
But there's something here that's not quite right

There's something rotten in here
And the house is weird
And all the people that come
Will all concede it's easy
It's easy

You see steps to this door
But they lead me upstairs, though there's only one floor
See things, they're not clear
'cos you're vision impaired, but the truth isn't there

I'm in a wide open space, i'm standing
I'm all alone and staring into space
It's always quiet thru' my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, i'm staring
There's something quite bizarre i cannot see

I'm on the top of a hill, i'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back in my house, for i care
They do not hear me, it's the same old case

The cup that caught your blood was stained
Destroyed, taken away, away
Your likeness hidden from the crowd
Who cried only in shame, in shame

And he claimed to be messiah
And his lies were thinly veiled
Born without a human father
Jesus saves...

(he saves for us) you're playing god for just one minute
(he saves for us) let fame legitimise your face
(he saves for us) you're playing god for just one day

You gave holy blood to spare,
You said, holy fake, holy fake
Fake messiah's in the place
Ouija board and snakes, and snakes

I'm gonna sit on my own, maybe all alone
I'm gonna lie on the couch, 'cos i won't go out
She'll take it easy again, ending up in hell
Just like the scum of the earth, but i'll crash here first

We're all in this together
Ski jump nose forever

Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, i don't wanna talk about it

She's gonna get herself out from her plastic town
She's gonna get out her house, gonna get down south
She'll take it easy again, she'll end up in hell
She's only playing the game, change her name again

I'm writing these words like the fool that i am
Trying to say something good like the person
But it's all just a sham 'cos the writer i am not
Could say anything, you'd believe them
Just your a-typical boy-girl-girl-boy androgynous
Play on a publican's decoy
'cos i had to drop out 'cos my art school was sad and
If you believe all of that you're a bigger fool than me

Glad you're tuned to ski jump nose, so come on down and
Hide our shame, you love, you love the fame

Wireless tells us all
Looks like there's a war
Both of us been through this before dear
Put on our gas masks and pray dear
But at least we've got each other

I'll still love you when the wind blows through
I've been through this before
I'll still love you when the wind
When the wind blows through

Outside all is cold
It looks like there's no war
But my hair's falling out at it's root dear
Things will blow over any day dear
And at least we've got each other

You were the seven deadly sins
Making sense in your 'screw me' dress
The beautiful ones just slip away
To a mirror where we used to kiss

With your disco heartbeat
You're not even human
We're so electric
Do you have no passion?

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Everything i touch
Just falls to bits

So trust in me
It brings us close
Electric man
Will save our souls

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

So i took advice and changed a little
Hope that others like me more
Hope that you would trust me once again
Once again, once again
I am lonely once again
I hope that you would trust me once again

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
Bring your sunshine, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
La, la la la, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, the sunshine, bring it to me

And there's someone always laughing over me
A taste of my inferiority
It mocks me and weakens me
Emphasises what is wrong with me
And now that i am not content to be
A weak impression of what used to be
I wake up in terror
To see that i am so incredibly low
We are all sinners alone

You take life better than me
My wheelchair sinks into the sand
Like blooms fractured and torn

Everyone's a sinner baby that's for sure
No conduit messiah god-like
With halo aesthetically
Appease my all consuming vanity
And now that i am not content to be
A weak impression of what used to be
I wake up in terror
To see that i am so incredibly low
We are all sinners alone

Spirit serene
It's my spirit so serene

You take life better than me
My wheelchair rolls into the sea
Tender blooms fractured and torn
We're all sinners alone

Safety in numbers together
Nobody can tell us if we're thick or if we're clever
See him, victim, shouting
Telling all the people that we're meeting in a field
Safety in numbers together
Nobody can tell us if we're thick or if we're clever
See him, victim, shouting
Telling all the people that we're meeting in a field
And we are foolishly drawn

We'll meet, we'll talk, we'll rush
The gods of not very much
We'll meet, we'll talk, we'll rush
The gods of not very much

A strange dude in brown shoes with holes through
Stands at speaker's corner with a memo tape recorder
Nightfall, the crowd come, his bible
Opened at a page that says he made us all the same
How funny, ironic, the crowd they
They agree to differ as they're wearing the same t-shirt
Fit in, convention, nothing
You're just talking rubbish and you know that you're not
Playing with us
'cos we're the gods of not very much

Roll on up and queue in line
All you need is here
Absurdity is what you see
Can't match the state you're in

All things are flawed to me
Stick with the things that you know
Buy what you want from me
Hope was the one thing i sold

Say what you can't say, i'll never know
Don't wanna know, what you really sold
Say what you can't say, i'll never know
Don't wanna know, what you really sold
It's been a bad day
Closed for business, i'm going home

Tasteless gas that comes in cans
Why should i be stoned
For selling things to heal your sins
And make your sorrows go

He lives in the flat below
In the dead of night, hammering
Disturbing me
I'm scared and he frightens me
Never puts his rubbish out
We've never met
I spoke to him just through the vent
I heard him and i know that...

He lives below me
I think that i know him
It's the man in the apartment below
And i know that...
He lives below me
I think that i know him
It's the man in the apartment below

He is ex-directory
So nobody can bother him
He's occupied
He worries me, intriguing me
Saw him in the corridor
But it was dark, we never spoke
Didn't see his face
I was quite relieved and i know that...

I had to sing this for me
Watch myself pilloried
Ugly, scruffy, no one
But then i guess that you knew
Nasty, bitter, enraged
A nice polite english way
Full circle, desensitised
I'm right back where i began

Hated, broken

The dead flowers reject
Sad glucoma in mist
Injustice wells up in me
We are shit and refuse

Hated, broken

It's what it's like to be hated
I am afflicted and ill
It's what it's like to be hated
I wrote this song for myself

We are shit and refuse to wallow in rejection
My will is shattered again
My leeches, parasite friends
No man's an island they said
I breathe my solitary air
Explain myself to noone
Beautiful sad solitude

Hated, broken

Learn to ignore all the slurs
You can get used to all things

Hated, broken

Piss in the face of the sick
Unjust vendetta's uncool
Unjust, unwanted, reject
Uninformed, understood
A silence, broken my will
Afflicted, shattered and sick
Popularity stakes
Overrated you said
Isolation can feel like a utopian state
To be this liked is to be suffocated you said
Beauty, sadness, enraged of solitude can be bare
Disturbed, unwanted at birth
The fucking joke that we are
I've never had any friends
Could be a sweet suicide
A fucking homo in flesh
To weak to protest
