Ad NauseamTarred and feathered like a gutted chicken
Stuck in a rut out of luck ad nauseam
Sew up my lips and cut my throat
I choke on the gag but I don't get the joke
Spineless and fish-like, I swim in the mire
I swear like a saw-tooth, fin-flap and gill
Scrap this ludicrous chain of events
Back To NatureBack to nature - caravan on camping sand
Back to nature - glucose filled, and programmed to respond
It's gonna rain all night
But we'll be alright
Under the geodesic dome
Infrared heater, just like home
Sitting in the shade of a rubber tree
I'll kiss you and you'll kiss me
Blind EyesClose your eyes and hope for sunshine
Protect your soul and you'll survive
Pray to God in all his wisdom
It's so much safer on the other side
Blind eyes turning
Hear no, see no, speak no evil
Coitus InterruptusCoitus interruptus
I digress, I've tried again
All this love sick repetition
I confess, I lied again
Coitus interruptus
Emission impossible
Catch this blood clot in a vacuum
Collapsing New PeopleWatch them collapsing
Jaded - Collapsing new people
Watch them collapsing
Stay awake all night
But never see the stars
And sleep all day
On a chainlink bed of nails
Fireside FavouriteCome here, baby, in front of the fire
I'd like to look into your eyes
Loosen your clothes, get out of that seat
Come and feel my body heat
Because when I get back home
And see you sitting by the fire grate
I hold you in my arms
For Whom The Bells TollIf I've heard them once
I've heard them a thousand times before
I'm in danger of repeating myself
But I don't care anymore
Sleepless nights and world weary days
I live without you
But life goes on regardless
I don't know what to do
Ideal WorldAs I dream, I live
And as I sleep, I walk
So close the door, turn down the lights
And let me dream it again
So close the door, turn down the lights
And let me dream it again
Oh, live it again
Innocent BystanderWiped away the condensation
Looked down at the empty street
A girl in white - fright screaming loudly
A screwed-up nut in pursuit
I stood and watched
Frozen to the spot
I stood and watched her bruised chest and heave stop
InsecticideCreep up the wall
Then across the ceiling
I spin round the bulb
And land on a sandwich
I smash my face on the windowpane
I'm smashing my face on the windowpane
I'm smashing my face against the windowpane
King of the FliesRight from the start I got it wrong
I did the things I shouldn't have done
I'm between the devil and the deep blue sea
Now someone else looks after me
I stole every minute from time's locked doors
Add sold used souls in bargain stores
Without a conscience I was king of the flies
I laid in gutters and told you lies
Lady ShaveWorried girl
Shaves her legs
Creams her arms
And she creams her chest
Worried girl
Shave it, shave it, shave it, shave it
Plug your brow
Life on the LineI'm sorry about the mess on the table
I'm sure it was an accident
My hands are made of nitroglycerin
That explains the incident
Fortune built my homes in daydreams
Pages I'd never seen
I'm sorry you were so disappointed
Love parasiteLove parasite
Love parasite
You're kicking inside
Try not to fight
Love parasite
Scream aloud
Words without meaning
LuxuryDiamonds and pearls
Champagne and caviar
Cigars and girls
A private plane, a shiny car
Gold, silver and ivory
To have the Midas touch
Would it be enough for me
Can a man ever have enough
NewsreelPoint the camera at the baby,
Shoot the mother giving birth.
Watch the blood run down the table,
Close-up to the after-birth.
Newsreel.
Newsreel.
PedestrianLocomotion took us there and back
We kept our heads, we laid our track
Pedestrian wait!
The power of steel automation
Turn the key for mass ignition
Pedestrian wait!
Airplanes buzz like Asian flu
Jumbo junks on Air fix glue
PlainsongVoices saying nothing
'Cos their heads are clean are simple
But they screw up the refrain
And no-one sings together
Well I don't believe quite what I hear
'Cos the words are so disgusting
I can hardly wait to leave this place
Salt Lake City SundaySalt Lake City Sunday
No power can shake the glory
No man can stand and fight the fountain of truth
Send out the clean and righteous
Wipe up the Beast infection
And bring some love bright whiteness into your life
They march, the Latter Day Saints
Saturday Night SpecialEvery man should have the right to own a gun
Every man should have the right to shoot someone
Film stars and farmers still forcing opinions
Like TV politicians playing cowboys and indians
Uncle Sam sleeps with his horse, keeps his brain in his hat
With his trigger-happy patter, he'll rat-a-tat-tat-tat-tat-tat
SleepSleep, baby, sleep
Daddy's out to earn your keep
Sleep, baby, sleep
Mama's sad, hear her weep
Watching over you tonight
I get the feeling that life's alright
You can laugh aloud at those middle-aged fakes
Well I hope you don't make the same mistakes as me
The BoxThe camera pans across the room
And finally comes to rest upon an old picture frame
The photo shows a man in hat
A dog at heel
The man is fat
The dog is the same
Let me out...
The RingWith this ring I thee wed
A love so fragile made in bed
They say they can take you
Naive love sold lustful schemes
Torn at heart and shattered dreams
They say they can break you
Under the Flag IWell the story begins on the Isle of Dogs
In a time of world recession
There's a queue a mile long for every job
Young hopes deep in depression
Well our anti-hero's coy, such a weak-willed boy
He follows his nose, not his head
So the lap-dog finds a mate, and makes his first mistake
