[The Lukewarm]
are you such a dreamer
to put the world to rights
i'll stay home forever
where two and two always makes a five
i'll lay down the tracks
sandbagging high

Sail to the Moon -- 4:18
[Brush the Cobwebs Out Of The Sky]
i sought the moon
i spoke too soon
and how much did it cost
i was dropped from
moonbeams
and sailed on shooting stars

or in the flood
you'll build an ark
and sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon
sail us to the moon
Backdrifts -- 5:22
[Honeymoon Is Over]
we’re rotten fruit
we’re damaged goods
what the hell we’ve got nothing more to lose
one gust and we will probably crumble
we’re backdrifting
this far but no further
i’m hanging off a branch
i’m teetering on the brink
of honey sweet
so fall asleep
i’m backsliding
you fell into our arms
you fell into our arms
we tried but there was nothing we could do
nothing we could do
all evidence has been buried
all tapes have been erased
but your footsteps give you away
so you’re backtracking
oh oh oh
you fell into our arms
you fell into our arms
we tried but there was nothing we could do
nothing we could do
you fell into our
you fell into a

we’re backdrifters
Go to Sleep -- 3:21
[Little Man Being Erased]
something for the rag and bone man
over my dead body
something big is gonna happen
over my dead body
someone's son or someone’s daughter
over my dead body
this is how i ended up sucked in
over my dead body
i’m gonna go to sleep
and let this wash all over me
you know we don't want a monster taking over (don't ya really want a monster?)
tip toe around, tie him down
we don’t want the loonies takin’ over
tip toe around, tie him down, down
big[pink] pretty horses
come to you as you sleep
i’m gonna go to sleep
and let this wash all over me
where i end + u begin -- 4:29
[The Sky is Falling In]
there’s a gap in between
there’s a gap where we meet
where i end and you begin
and i'm sorry for us
the dinosaurs roam the earth
the sky turns green
where i end and you begin (4, 5, 6, 7)
i am up in the clouds
i am up in the clouds
and i can't and i can't come down
i can watch and not take part
where i end and where you start
where you, you left me alone
you left me alone
x'll mark the place
like the parting of the waves
like a house falling in the sea
in the sea
i will eat you alive x4
there’ll be no more lies x4
i will eat you alive x4
there’ll be no more lies x4
i will eat you alive x4
there are no more lies x4

We Suck Young Blood -- 4:56
[Your Time Is Up]
are you hungry?
are you sick?
are you begging for a break?
are you sweet?
are you fresh?
are you strung up by the wrists?
we want the young blood (la x8)
are you fracturing?
are you torn at the seams?
would you do anything?
fleabitten motheaten?
we suck young blood (la x8)
we suck young blood (la x8)

genie let out of the bottle
funny ha ha funny how
when the walls bend, when the walls bend
with your breathing, with your breathing
when the walls bend, when the walls bend
with your breathing, with your breathing
with your breathing
they will suck you down to the other side x4
to the shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
your alarm bells, your alarm bells
shadows blue and red, shadows blue and red
your alarm bells, your alarm
they should be ringing x12
this is the gloaming
There There -- 5:24 (Full) -- 4:44 (Edit)
[The Boney King of Nowhere]
in pitch dark i go walking in your landscape
broken branches trip me as i speak
just cos you feel it doesn’t mean it’s there
just cos you feel it doesn’t mean it’s there
there's always a siren singing you to shipwreck (dont reach out, don't reach
out x2)
steer away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster (dont reach out,
don't reach out x2)
just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there (there’s someone on your
shoulder x2)
just coz you feel it doesn't mean it’s there (there’s someone on your
shoulder x2)
there there
why so green
and lonely x3

to me x3

we are accidents waiting
waiting to happen
I Will -- 1:59
[No Man's Land]
i will
lay me down
in a bunker
underground
i won’t let this happen to my children
meet the real world coming out of your shell
with white elephants
sitting ducks
i will
rise up
little babies' eyes eyes eyes eyes
little babies' eyes eyes eyes eyes
little babies' eyes eyes eyes eyes
little babies' eyes eyes eyes
A Punch-Up at a Wedding -- 4:57
[No No No No No No No No]
no x42
i don’t know why you bother
nothing's ever good enough for you.
i was there
it wasn't like that
you’ve come here just to start a fight
you had to piss on our parade
you had to shred our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
in a drunken punch-up at a wedding
yeah
hypocrite opportunist
don't infect me with your poison
oh a bully in a china shop
when i turn ‘round you stay frozen to the spot
the pointless snide remarks
of hammerheaded sharks
the pot will call the kettle black
it’s a drunken punch-up at a wedding yeah
oh no no
Myxomatosis -- 3:52
[Judge, Jury & Executioner]
the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said i been where i like
i slept with who i like
she ate me up for breakfast
she screwed me in a vice
but now
i don't know why
i feel so tongue-tied
i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down real neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled beaten up
used as a photo in time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in devon
i don’t know why i
feel so tongue-tied
don’t know why
i feel
so skinned alive.
my thoughts are misguided and a little naive
i twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
yeah no one likes a smart ass but we all like stars
but that wasn't my intention, i did it for a reason
it must have got mixed up
strangled beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
i don’t know why
i feel so tongue-tied
Scatterbrain -- 3:21
[As Dead As Leaves]
i'm walking out in a force ten gale
birds thrown around, bullets for hail
the roof is pulling off by its fingernails
your voice is rappin’ on my window sill
yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
any fool can easy pick a hole i only wish i could fall in
a moving target in a firing range
somewhere i'm not
scatterbrain
somewhere i'm not
scatterbrain
lightning fuse, powercut
scatterbrain
A Wolf at the Door -- 3:21
[It Girl. Rag Doll.]
drag him out your window
dragging out the dead
singing i miss you
snakes and ladders
flip the lid
out pops the cracker
snaps you in the head
knifes you in the neck
kicks you in the teeth
steel toe caps
takes all your credit cards
get up get the gunge
get the eggs
get the flan in the face
the flan in the face
the flan in the face
dance you fucker dance you fucker
don't you dare
don't you dare
don't you flan in the face
take it with the love it's given
take it with a pinch of salt
take it to the taxman
let me back let me back
i promise to be good
don't look in the mirror
at the face you don't recognize
help me call the doctor
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
put me inside
i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don't pay the ransom
but i'll never see 'em again
if i squeal to the cops
no x70
walking like giant cranes and
with my x-ray eyes i strip you naked
in a tight little world and are you on the list?
stepford wives who are we to complain?
investments and dealers investments and dealers
cold wives and mistresses
cold wives and sunday papers
city boys in first class
don't know they're born, they know
someone else is gonna come and clean it up
born and raised for the job
someone always does
i wish you'd get up get over get up get over
turn your tape off
i keep the wolf from the door
but he calls me up
calls me on the phone
tells me all the ways that he’s gonna mess me up
steal all my children
if i don't pay the ransom
but i'll never see 'em again
if i squeal to the cops
so I just go
ooo
