PLACEBO

 

 COME HOME

Stuck between the do or die, I feel emaciated.

Hard to breathe I try and try, I'll get asphyxiated.

Swinging from the tallest height, with nothing left to hold on to.

 

Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.

 

Come home, come home, come home, come home.

 

Glass and petrol vodka gin, it feels like breathing methane.

Throw yourself from skin to skin, and still it doesn't dull the pain.

Vanish like a lipstick trace, it always blows me away.

 

Every cloud is grey, with dreams of yesterday.

 

Come home, come home, come home, come home,

come home, come home, come home, come home.

 

Always goes against the grain, and I can try and deny it

Give a monkey half a brain, and still he's bound to fry it.

Now the happening scene is dead, I used to want to be there too.

 

Every sky is blue, but not for me and you.

 

Come home, come home, come home, come home,

come home, come home, come home, come home.

 

 

TEENAGE ANGST

Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.

Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed.

You see through my disguise.

 

At the drive-in, double feature,

pull the lever, break the fever

and say your last goodbyes.

 

Since I was born I started to decay.

Now nothing ever ever goes my way.

 

One fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.

Trapped in amber, petrified.

And still not satisfied.

 

Airs ans social graces, elocution so divine.

I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,

both spineless and sublime.

 

Since I was born I started to decay.

Now nothing ever ever goes my way.

 

 

BIONIC

Harder faster, forever after,

harder faster, forever after,

harder faster, forever after,

forever after.

 

None of you can make the grade,

none of you can make the grade,

none of you can make the grade,

none of you can make the grade.

 

Harder faster, forever after,

harder faster, forever after,

harder faster, forever after,

forever after.

 

None of you can make the grade,

none of you can make the grade,

none of you can make the grade,

none of you can make the grade.

 

 

36 DEGREES

We were tight, but it falls apart as silver turns to blue.

Waxing with a candlelight, and burning just for you.

Allocate your sentiment, and stick it in a box.

I've never been an extrovert, but I'm still breathing.

 

Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)

 

With hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue.

Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you.

Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top.

I've always been an introvert

happily bleeding.

 

Someone tried to do me ache (it's what I'm afraid of)

 

4 7 2 3 9 8 5 - I gotta breathe to stay alive,

and 1 4 2 9 7 8 - feels like I'm gonna suffocate.

14 16 22 - this skin that turns to blister blue.

 

Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,

shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,

shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,

shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees.

 

 

HANG ON TO YOUR IQ

Chinese masseuse, comes between us

talks in haikus, plastic venus.

Got a headrush, in her pocket

two rubbers two lubes, and a silver rocket.

 

Hang on, hang on

to your IQ, to your ID

hang on, hang on

to your IQ, to your ID.

 

I'm lonely

 

Every morning, my eyes will open wide

I gotta get high, before I go outside.

Roll another, for breakfast

burning clouds around, and in my solar plexus.

 

Hang on, hang on

to your IQ, to your ID

hang on, hang on

to your IQ, to your ID.

 

I'm lonely

 

Legs eleven, makes me stay up late

two fat ladies on my back, and now it's 88.

I'm a fool, whose tool is small

it's so miniscule, it's no tool at all.

 

Hang on, hang on

to your IQ, to your ID

hang on, hang on

I'm lonely

Oh.

 

 

NANCY BOY

Alcoholic kind of mood

lose my clothes, lose my lube

cruising for a piece of fun

looking out for number one

different partner every night

so narcotic outta sight

what a gas, what a beautiful ass.

 

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

 

Kind of buzz that lasts for days

had some help from insect ways

comes across all shy and coy

just another nancy boy.

Woman man or modern monkey

just another happy junkie

fifty pounds, press my button

going down.

 

And it all breaks down at the role reversal

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

 

Does his makeup in his room

douse himself with cheap perfume

eyeholes in a paper bag

greatest lay I ever had

kind of guy who mates for life

gotta help him find a wife

we're a couple, when our bodies double.

 

And it all breaks down at the role reversal

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

 

And it all breaks down at the role reversal

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,

got the muse in my head she's universal,

spinnin' me round she's coming over me.

 

 

I KNOW

I know, you love the song but not the singer

I know, you've got me wrapped around your finger

I know, you want the sin without the sinner

I know

I know

 

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know, the last in line is always called a bastard

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know

I know

 

I know, you cut me loose in contradiction

I know, I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition

I know, it's asking for your benediction

I know

I know

 

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know, the last in line is always called a bastard

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know

I know

 

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know, the last in line is always called a bastard

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster

I know

I know.

 

 

BRUISE PRISTINE

The means are right for taking, fade to grey

Trying to be ruthless, in the face of beauty

In this matrix, it's plain to see

It's either you or me.

 

Bruise,

pristine,

serene,

we were born to lose.

 

Cast a line with a velvet glove

Reading like an open book, in the hands of love

In this matrix, it's plain to see

It's either you or me.

 

Bruise,

pristine,

serene,

we were born to lose.

 

Encore? (echoed)

LADY OF THE FLOWERS

'Scuse me, I apologize

he likes your attitude, he tries it on for size

he spends the afternoon, between your thighs

how's that for gratitude, I apologize.

 

It seemed to last for hours

It seemed to last for days

This lady of the flowers

and her hypnotic gaze.

 

'Scuse me, I apologize

she's got vaccum cleaner eyes

suck you in

she's got magazines, filled with pear pies

'scuse me, I apologize

 

It seemed to last for hours

It seemed to last for days

This lady of the flowers

and her hypnotic gaze.

 

She wears her tears on her blouse

confused and racked with self-doubt

she stole the keys to my house

and then she locked herself out.

This lady of the flowers

her electronic haze.

 

She wears her tears on her blouse

confused and racked with self-doubt

she stole the keys to my house

and then she locked herself out.

 

She stole the keys to my house

and then she locked herself out.

 

She lays me down

she lays me.
