forever lost in plastic mexico
it's like swimming in honey
through all i see i'm baffled constantly
all disconnect through money
bless repetition, i find it soothing
every time things feel too wrong not to be right
head soaked in whiskey, sprawled on the roof
i watch the mushroom clouds exploding in the sky
forever in golden twenties fake berlin
the carousel feels honest though
with the weekend being work free i'm just not
a human being, life went just as promised
we're already gone

like most good things it started as a riot
when the wall came down they all fell silent
should have stayed for a while, guess i could have
it's the only way but that doesn't make it right
and i have everything bottled up inside
i've got everything and it makes me feel like me no more
i've got everything, i give it all i got
it's everything you're not
like all good things we started as a riot
and it all broke down we all fell silent
should have stayed for a while but i guess i couldn't
i can let it die but i just can't let it slide
you've got everything bottled up inside...
we've got everything....

same old story, that's how it goes
glad it's not that serious
park and ride and kiss and tell
i like you more than you like yourself
same old story, lost and found
somehow you are still around
and for my next trick i'll take the piss
out of this booze cruise into nothingness
i frown, what was i thinking about
same old story, that's how it goes
glad it's not that serious
doesn't matter, might as well
you like me more than i like myself
i frown, what was i thinking
i frown, what was i drinking
about

Cannery on Fire
03:36

when it all went wrong it all went wrong
i picked myself up to stroll down brunswick street
and scrape my heart off the concrete
the road winds endlessly, the radio cranked on nma
oh lord i have never loved anything
unstained by economical necessities
and i being poor got these trainers on the cheap
if you tread on them you tread on me you see
people empty me they empty me
it means more than anything it's everything to me
people empty me they empty me i got to get away to refill
when the canary had ceased to sing you ceased to think
you clung to the safety bond and made your way out of the tunnel
one foot before the other
but the living they supposedly fucking owed me
never quite sufficed to nullify 10.000 miles of ocean
and i being poor get by on half a case of beer
and as i empty it it empties me you see...
and i being dull, i got fuck all left to say

Treat Objects like Women
03:28

so you don't want to be found
and i admit i'm still impressed
because you're terrifying and that's when you look the best
i can't say i understand and now it feels like i never have
on the window pane there's all those drops trying to make their way down past the crusted dirt
so that's what that is, supposedly a good day
no need to talk that ash tray gave you away
so shut up i'm trying to breathe
i'm making room for this old washed out concrete chunk
that ensconced itself inside of me
and it makes me fucking sick i don't know why
and it makes me fucking sad can i have a reason
it makes me fucking sick do you know why
it makes me fucking sad that it doesn' make you that
now you're saying things you'll have forgotten by tomorrow
here's to me i'm bleeding out until i'm hollow
who says i worry too much, is this the end or the beginning
here's to anyone who treats objects like women
that's what that is, who's crazy now
tell me should i stay or should i quote
with an armour of frill and eyes like open wounds
Why this is awkward but no i don't plan on coming home too soon

Procrastination Street

so here you've got your normal life
there's nothing quite as hard isn't that right
it's not a problem to be solved
it is to be bought and sold
cosy stupid in my seat
it's closing time on procrastination street
the bigger picture has been sold to a private gallery
there's something wrong in denmark
some are calling for boycott
do you feel like dancing?
we're the apes of a cold god
climb atop mount average
i plant my cross, i nail myself to it
you were brought up far too catholic
to enjoy these kinds of things
i don't like to be like this
i made my bed, can't sleep in it
we're all just naked animals
compelled to pay for everything

Depends

meet me on platform ten with a hole in the heart and a coffee in hand
in my imagination you're a secret agent with a hat and a trench coat
there's things you don't know, you'll never know
i got those hounds still on my heels i left a dripping trail of soul
so this is pretty much it
one of a thousand things you learn to live with
even a dog needs to be loved til its dead
i'd give up sugar but i've come to the conviction life's bitter enough
in last night's dream we lost the hockey but my aunt recovered
there's things i know that i don't want to know
yes i'm cooking, yes i'm such a tool, i'll be your little spoon

Mixed Feelings

when game got tied you said you'd wasted your damn time
plus 20 quid on a bunch of amateurs who don't deserve to wear the stripes
so what happened to your voice
what happened to your band
you said you chain smoked dope for years
when all you really wanted was a cigarette
and you know it seems unfair, that's because it really is
what do you know of life if you have never
felt as unaccomplished
and you know it seems unfair, and of course you're right
life's nothing to cling on to for dear life
i feel as old as a new romantic
when the game got tied i knew i'd wasted my whole life
in the queue at the club still waiting
for the bouncers to make way
and then the fever kicked in with a rush of numb warmth
from the feet to the head
and i pine for the void at the end of the night
as i wait for the fuckers to play something fast

you say your heart is broken
it's everything you know now
it's everything you know
not how to say we're done for today
you feel the way i feel when i feel
like not giving things away
we're quite alright
and we had the sun in the sky crawl down
to shine out our arses all night long
bet you didn't know that did you
you say your heart is broken
it's everything you know now
it's everything you know now
that there isn't anywhere to go
you go out of your way to go on
about giving up the ghost

Last Cigarette

just one more cigarette and i'll be on my way
the sky hangs heavy with the icy clouds of winter
i grab my things and make my way for the first train
guilty survivor, hell has left me air for breathing
just one more insolence and i'll be on my way
my head is heavy like the icy clouds of winter
don't tell anyone i never liked to live
the best defense in any fight is just don't be there
just one more cigarette and i'll be on my way
the sky hangs heavy with the icy clouds of winter
everything's new, everything's free, everything's clean
amend the wrong that hell has left me air for breathing
just one more cigarette
