- Track Name: If You Feel Emotional
-
If you feel emotional
Want to find protection from the fear
If you feel emotional
Want your life to find you unaware
In this show you know you're naked
If you feel emotional
And want to know that nothing makes me sad
If you feel emotional
Want your love to find me unawares
In this show you know you're naked - Track Name: Start Digging
-
Hello, how are you?
Wait another day, we'll tell you what to do
To fake your own demise
The sugarlumps and fairies only undermine you
Start digging with this spoon
Old enough to make your way through
Start digging with this spoon
We're only 50 miles away from you
Put the knife down
The officer's obliged to mark this incident on file
Your privilege revoked
We hoped it wouldn't come to this
But options have run out
Start digging with this spoon
You're old enough to make your own way through
Start digging with this spoon
We're only 50 miles away from you
Start digging with this spoon
The smell of turpentine and fire fills the room - Track Name: Satellite Dish
-
Satellite dish, satellite dish
I know you're up there listening for my girl
Satellite dish, satellite dish
If I rub your belly and make a wish
Will you do what I need?
Decode the signal from afar
And send a message to her star
I want to show her how I feel
By saying oop et ede ap ap ING
Satellite dish, satellite dish
There's some interference on your transmission yeah
Satellite dish, satellite dish
I've got pixellated twinkling shit on my screens
Just decode the signal from afar
And send a message to her star
I've got to show her how I feel
By saying oop ep ede ap ap ING
There's a freakish orange glow
Coming from my digital radio
Decode the signal from afar
And send it to the Russian Czar
I've got to show her how I feel
By saying oop ep ede ap n erp n up n erp ING - Track Name: Gravity Pulls Me Down
-
I'm lost
In space
Floating through a far-off land
I saw your face
And then I lost it as I sank back down
It's a long road, and I need someone to hold my hand
'Cause gravity pulls me down
Yeah I need someone to hold my hand
I'm crying out to be found
I sit
Inside
Staring at my cup of tea
This café's all beige
And everybody's got a way to be
I watch them all walk by and it's a mystery
How people live their lives
Is there a way that I can apply to me?
It's a long road
And I need someone to hold my hand
'Cause gravity pulls me down
Yeah I need someone to hold my hand
'Cause everything's coming down
Do you need someone to make you stop?
I never thought that I could be with you
We could have been together
But you never knew how I longed to take your hand and walk you home
So put your spacesuit on
We're going somewhere alone
It's a long road
And I need someone to hold my hand
'Cause gravity pulls me down
Yeah I need someone to hold my hand
When gravity pulls me down
Do you need someone to hold your hand
When gravity pulls you down?
Oh I need someone to hold my hand
I need to find a way to hold your hand, you hold my hand
I need to make things stop 'cause gravity pulls me down - Track Name: Pining
-
In the corner of my eye, I think I see you
I don't know how I could miss you being there
There's a charcoal drawing of you on the wall
And if I wasn't in a daydream, I could kiss you
But I'm lonely
And I miss you
I'm pining
Bored, in the shops
I had my fun, and I stayed out all night
This city's supposed to be cool, but all they've got is a cathedral
And the record shops are round here, but they're invisible
And everyone speaks German
Which is cool
But I'm lonely
And I miss you
I'm pining
(He's pining)
And I'm hungry and tired
And waiting for sleep
And I spent my last dollar on German cuisine
And I've missed you for days now, wandered the streets
And if I can't get near you my life has no meaning
I'm pining
Pining - Track Name: Husband And Wife
-
All I wanted was to feel that you held me in your arms and we tried to be husband and wife
In the sun
Where the flowers come, with the rain
All I wanted was to feel that I held you in my arms as we tried to be husband and wife
There's no-one could ever come between us - Track Name: Black Hole
-
Black hole, black hole, what do you do to me?
Black hole, black hole, Sea of Tranquility
Don't you know you'll never make the grade if you don't drink lemonade?
Don't you know you'll never see my face if you don't enter the race?
Black hole, black hole, what do you do to me?
Black hole, black hole, Sea of Tranquility?
Black hole, black hole, what do you do to me?
Black hole, black hole, you make me want to say
No way - Track Name: Don't Leave Me Behind
-
If you try
To change your life
Don't leave me behind
'Cause there's not anything I want to do
If I don't have you to talk to
If you wake
And on reflection you decide
That you don't want to wait 'til morning
For the light to change your mind
Then wake me too
'Cause I won't need the sleep if you move on
I won't need anything at all
We've had everything I want
If you like
We can walk around the Old Town
Amuse ourselves with mannequins
And buy each other pretty things before
We get fractious with the hunger
And fall down
I would like to tell you
Absolutely unequivocally
That you're the one for me
And I love you unconditionally
So take me too
'Cause I won't want to stay here if you're gone
I'll pack my things and follow on
We have everything I want
And if it's time
Don't leave me behind
Don't leave me behind - Track Name: I Need To Kiss Your Hand Now
-
I had a bad dream
I was away from you, couldn't get the right train
I was away from you, we were in the wrong place
I wanted to see you
I wanted to kiss your face
I had a bad dream
People in front of you, you couldn't see
People were pushing you
Gathered around you
You couldn't breathe
I couldn't get to you when I needed to
I couldn't come home when you needed me
I woke from my dream
You were in the next room
I couldn't see
I need to touch your hand to make things real
I need the space between us not to be real
I need to kiss your hand now - Track Name: Sheep On Drugs
-
Keep your shoulders on
I only want to see how things have gone
Where you're coming from is absolutely fucking mad
I Evanescence you
I Lemonheads and Public Enemoo
I Sheep On Drugs and Muse
But never had a thing by Tad
And nor did you
Nor did you
Switch off everyone
A spade is still a spade in Huntingdon
Check for locks undone
And scrape the spiders off my legs
What happened in my life for you? - Track Name: Bye Black Hole
-
Bye black hole
Though I never really knew you
And I just don't know
If you're the one for me
I can never really understand what you mean
And oh
Don't you know I drank the lemonade?
And oh
Don't you know that I entered your race?
But I never saw your face
And I never found a way to say
Goodbye - Track Name: Time For Happy Endings
-
(When I wake up here, the day gets better and I don't want to kill myself
Time for happy endings)
One more push and we'll be there
There's sun on the horizon
And tomorrow we'll wake up somewhere that doesn't care
And everything's OK
Let's slip through the cracks and make our getaway
Time for happy endings
Maybe it's time for happy endings
Outside the sky is dark
And in the fire you can smell marshmallows toasting
And watch a spark fly up until it isn't here
This is why we came
Let's slip through the cracks and make our getaway
Time for happy endings
Maybe it's time for happy endings
