not much fun being dumb
hanging out the window like a crazy thingif only every day could be this boring
i can't hold it down i've gotta hold it down oh no
and happiness is obvious and obvious i'm not
the only question that i got is who why what
i gotta hold it down i can't hold it down oh no
and everybody wants to be more crazy
than the crazy one they're standing next to
the crazy people seem to be the only ones
who are really having fun
the only piece of advice i can offer you
was shouted at me as i hit the ground
it's not much fun being dumb
falling out the window in my nylon suit
all i think is am i wearing cheaper shoes than you
i can't cool it down i gotta cool it down oh no
well you're the wrong girl but you've got the right smile
and i'm the right boy but i got no style
i can't cool it down i gotta cool it down oh no
flying up the street got the law on my tail
how was i to know it was the cops who made the sale
they're gonna hold me down they're gonna hold me down oh no
and it's one two three good behaviour maybe four
i was twitching in the kitchen they were knocking on the door
they're gonna hold me down they're gonna hold me down oh no
take my advice i'm not using it today

tragedies of life
the police call me up supposed gun in handseems like i'm in demand but i've been framed again
i walk on bubblegum with eyes of silicone
the complicated one they set me up again
the till girl checks me out says how's it going son
you're looking better now your clothes are on
the police call me up come up and shake my hand
seems like i'm in demand but i've been framed
they don't get cheaper than me
tragedies of life they never warned you
tragedies of life they never told you
and judy has a need a need for sweet revenge
thinking she's in demand but no one gives a damn
she walks on bubble gum with eyes of silicone
destination unknown
the police call her up supposed gun in hand
thinking she's in demand but she's been framed again
i think i'll call her up with technicolour smile
and take her by the hand coz she's been framed
she won't get cheaper than me
and i'll keep on flowing
you know i've got a piece of mind for you
make a nuisance throw it
better hope i find a way on through
they won't get cheaper than me
they don't get cheaper than me

me & libby
one of these days i'm gonna get sectioned offfind me a room rub it all in vaseline
slide through corridors make new sense of it all
talk to anyone about anyone
make up friends who light up
me and libby arm in arm
and we're sipping bleach showing off the whitest smile
i see the future let's see those arms no complications
she departed tyres screeching on the gravel
in the car another evening hands in pockets
losing grace at the bar alienation after closing
need another to forget this is the last time
coz one is too many a thousand not enough
her beauty is my duty but she's sick of all that pretty stuff
moaning at the back of her head as she walks out of the room
this is the last time
talk to anyone about anyone
make up friends who light up
to suit the mood swings
talk to anyone about anyone
i wrote it in a song
me and libby arm in arm
and one of these days i'm gonna get sectioned off
find me a room rub it all in vaseline

don't wanna go out like presley
music drowns the evil voices rushing around my headthe music wakes me up and makes the tea and gets me out of bed
music stops me thinking microwaves will cook my brain
and if she never calls me the music will be there again
i take myself out for a walk
sit by the mirror have a talk
confusion made a tart of me
don't wanna go out like presley
na na na na na am i the only one
na na na na na like mother nature's bastard son
na na na na na i can hear him calling me
don't wanna go out like presley
music tells the policeman it's just a guilty look
the music tells the jesus freak there's nothing for me in his book
music helps me to remember others are like me
and if she doesn't call today music says just wait and see
music drowns the evil voices rushing around my head

shame
weird sounds set my mind in fevershame shame on you
you broke so many basic rules
lies on your breath
dragged us down to lower depths
and just because you spoke out louder
just because you made them think
your charged up syrup wisdom
your cheating smile and hooded wink
terrifies me when i'm falling
i'm gonna come around real soon
terrifies me when you're calling
come around
you jump behind the wheel
verbal ram raid tongue of steel
cut you down to size
pick it up then realise
that i know where you're going
i know where you're coming from
you can't seduce my face no more my friend
you know you gone got it wrong
i'm gonna come around and cut your face
weird sounds set my mind in fever

hey freaklips
hey freaklipsyou drive me useless
come on take me out
hold it down hold it down
in my pocket
the words you write
you're in my pocket
coming for me through the venom
i said love love love love lover
i don't eat won't sleep
can't even breathe like others do
head for the ocean
walk on water walk on water
smile in your eyes
like i never seen before
i thought i saw angels
but i could have been wrong
i could have been wrong
so rain on me
hold my hand
i'll come back for more
if you just call
so call me

my idea of fun
stepping out in the rainhave a coke and a smile
that's my idea of fun
jump the cracks in the road
fall asleep in the sun
got the radio on
in my thoughts you are the only one
my idea of fun
wrote it in a song for you so you'd know
wrote it but my words don't matter no more
wrote it in a song for you
but i know i know i know you have to go
put the day out to rest
put the tv by the bed
that's my idea of fun
hitch a ride to the coast
you and me in the back
all i needed was a smile
to know you were the only one
my idea of fun
wrote it in a song for you so you'd know
wrote it but my words don't matter no more
wrote it in a song for you
but i know i know i know you'll never
wrote it in a song for you so you'd know
wrote it but my words don't matter no more
wrote it in a song for you but i'm wrong
i turn again and you are gone
{crushed by [my words} are weightless]
{wash away [the days} are faceless]
{wasted by [your looks} are wasted on me]
stepping out in the rain
have a coke and a smile
that's my idea of fun
you're still my idea of fun

confessions of a thug
so now let's get this straighti only hit her once
it's for her health you see
these walls were built for me
and now you want me to confess
to why her world's a fucking mess
but it makes no odds to me
i am the king baby
don't want to talk about that
confessions of a thug
i am smarter than you all
no don't aks me who i am
it will take a lifetime to explain
the complicated son
but as simple as a moving blade
you won't see me you won't hear me
but you'll fear my inbred mind
the tears of your martyrs wash away
they're wasted on me
don't want to talk about that
don't want to talk about what you need
you're guilty more or less
i kick for fun i kick for fun
so now let's get this straight
i only hit her twice

on the ropes
take these words and stick them in your headnow roll them round until you don't know what's been said
take this time to lie about everything
about who you are and who you've been
don't let the world get in
it's happened to me it won't happen to everyone
it don't give in it will repeat it will repeat it will
and my central theme it barks like a dog in me
the modern idiot is here and plain to see
i can't kick aside the kick inside
call off the dogs i won't admit that i changed at all but i lied just a little bit
seconds out
do you want to know what this fight's about
commerciality over art can't win out
i'm alike in a lot of ways
we're on the ropes
we're on the floor
it doesn't have to be this way no more

love kills
call me up i'll come backheaven knows your words are all i have
will you be the one
we're walking on bubblegum
what have we become
still i can't stop myself from staring
love kills just like a photograph
we made a nation laugh
so can't you hear the silence tearing us apart
i knew that it would break
i knew that we would break it

epicure
everything i wantedeverything i ever needed
all i got to see is standing here in front of me
everything i wanted
everything i ever needed
all i got to see is standing right in front of me
fame it comes to those who wait at the barrel of a gun
put my arm up to your face pull the trigger just for fun
in the corner of the room it hangs its head in shame
in the corner of the same room the feeling still remains
catch the bus down to the beach
but i can't find my way
pick a face that i can reach then i know i've got to stay
do i recognise my choice or is it all the same
do i recognise my own choice do the feelings still remain
to some holy anna prayer
i can't find my way
to some holy house i stare
but i can't find my way
everything i wanted
everything i ever needed
all I got to see is standing right in front of me
