Airbag

In the next world war
Jack-knifed juggernaught
I am born again

In the neon sign
Scrollin’ up and down
I am born again

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep
Of the innocent
I am born again

In a fast german car
I’m amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe

*lots of ‘ohhhh’ing…*

paranoid android

Please could you stop the noise I’m trying to get some rest
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What’s that??? (I may be paranoid, but I’m no android)
What’s that??? (I may be paranoid, but I’m no android)

When I am king you will be first against the wall
And your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What’s that??? (I may be paranoid, but I’m no android)
What’s that??? (I may be paranoid, but I’m no android)

Aaaaambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking squealing gucci little piggy

You don’t remember!
You don’t remember!
Why don’t you remember my name you runt?
Off with his head man off with his head man
Why don’t you remember my name
I guess he does…. Oooooohhhhhhhhhh

Rain down
Rain down
Come on rain down
On me
From a great height
From a great heeeiiii heeeiiiiiiiii…
…ain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
from a great height
froma great heeeeiiiii heeeeeiiiiii…

that’s it sir
you’re leaving 
the crackle of pigskin
the dust and the screamin
the yuppies networking
the panic the vomit
the panic the vomit
god loves his children

subterranean homesick alien

The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town where you can’t smell a thing
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement

High up above
Aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves
And live for their secrets

They’re all 
uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Up….

I wish that they’d swoop down
In a country lane
Late at night when I’m driving
Take me on aboard that beautiful ship
Show me the world as I’d love to see it

I’d tell all my friends but they’d never believe me
They’d think that I’d finally lost it completely
I’d show them the stars and the meaning of life
They’d shut me away
But I would be all right
All right
All right
All right

I’m just
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight

exit music (for a film)

Wake from your sleep
The drying of your tears
Today we escape
We escape

Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell
Breaks loose

Breathe, keep breathing
Don’t lose your nerve
Breathe, keep breathing
I can’t do this alone

Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
There’s such a chill
Such a chill

You can laugh
A spineless laugh
We hope your rules and wisdom
Choke you

And now we are one
In everlasting peace
we hope
That you choke
That you choke
we hope
That you choke
That you choke
we hope
That you choke
That you choke

let down

Transport motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging onto bottles
And when it comes it’s so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don’t get sentimental
It always ends up drivel
One day 
I’m gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down and hanging
Let down and hanging
Let down and hanging

You know
You know where you are with
You know where you are with 
Floor collapsing floating
Bouncing back
And one daaaaayyy
I’m gonna grow, grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and 

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

karma police

Karma police arrest this man
He talks in maths and buzzes like a fridge
He’s like a detuned radio

Karma police arrest this girl
Her hitler hairdo
Is makin me feel ill and we have
Crashed her party

This is what you’ll get
This is what you’ll get
This is what you get when you mess with us

Karma police
I’ve given all I can it’s not enough
I’ve given all I can but we’re still on the payroll

This is what you’ll get
This is what you’ll get
This is what you get when you mess with us

For a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew for a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself

For a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew for a minute there I lost myself, I lost myself

fitter, happier

Fitter happier
More productive
Comfortable
Not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym three days a week
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease
Eating well
No more microwave dinners and saturated fats
A patient better driver
A safer car
Baby smiling in back seat
Sleeping well
No bad dreams
No paranoia
Careful to all animals
Never washing spiders down the plughole
Keep in contact with old friends
Enjoy a drink now and then
Will frequently check credit at 
moral
Bank
Hole in wall
Favours for favours
Fond but not in love
Charity standing orders
On Sundays ring road supermarket
No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants
Car wash
Also on Sundays
No longer afraid of the dark
Or midday shadows
Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
Nothing so childish
At a better pace
Slower and more calculated
No chance of escape
Now self-employed
Concerned but powerless
An empowered and informed member of society
Pragmatism not idealism
Will not cry in public
Less chance of illness
Tyres that grip in the wet
Shot of baby strapped in back seat
A good memory
Still cries at a good film
Still kisses with saliva
No longer empty and frantic
Like a cat
Tied to a stick
That’s driven into
Frozen winter shit
The ability to laugh at weakness
Calm
Fitter
Healthier 
and more productive
A pig
In a cage
On antibiotics


*during this ‘song’ you can hear a man 
talking in the background.  Here is what 
he says:

this is the panic office
section 9-17 may have been hit
activate the following procedure

He just keeps repeating this over and
over in the background.

Electioneering

I will stop
I will stop at nothing
Say the right things
When electioneering
I trust I can rely on your votes

When I go forwards, you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
I got forwards, you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet (ah ah ah ahyah)

Riot shields
Voodoo economics
In turn they turn
It’s just business
Cattle prods and the IIIII MMMMM FFFFF
I trust I can rely on your votes…ahhhh

When I go forwards, you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
I got forwards, you go backwards
And somewhere we will meet

climbing up the walls

I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside
You’ll only see my reflection

It’s always best *when you cry in his arms*
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we’re friends till we die

And either way you turn I’ll be there
Open up your skull I’ll be there
Climbing up the walls

It’s always best when the light is off
It’s always better on the outside
fifteen blows to the back of your head
fifteen blows to your mind

so lock the kids up safe tonight
shut the eyes in the cupboard
I’ve got the smell of a local man
Who’s got the loneliest feeling

Either way you turn I’ll be there
Open up your skull I’ll be there
Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls

*note*:  I'm not sure on this 
line, but that's the closest i
can figure.  I've looked around
and no one can agree on the proper
lyric for it either. 

no surprises

A heart that’s full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won’t heal

You look so tired and happy
Bring down the government
They don’t
They don’t speak for us

I’ll take a quiet life a handshake
Of carbon monoxide

and no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surpises
Silent
Silent

This is my final fit my final bellyache
With no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden
No alarms and no surprises (let me outta here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me outta here)
No alarms and no surprises (let me outta here)
please

Lucky

I’m on a roll
I’m on a roll
This time
I feel my luck could change
Kill me sarah
Kill me again
With love
It’s gonna be a glorious day

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
Cuz I’m your superhero
We are standing on the edge

The head of state
Has called for me
By name
But I don’t have time for him
It’s gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
Cuz I’m your superhero
We are standing on the edge

We are standing on the edge…

the tourist

It barks at no one else but me
Like it’s seen a ghost
I guess it’s seen the sparks 
A flowin’
No one else would know

Hey man, slow down… 
Slow down…
Hey idiot, slow down…
Slow down…

Sometimes I get overcharged
That’s when you see sparks
They ask me where the hell I’m goin
At a thousand feet per second

Hey man, slow down… 
Slow down…
Hey idiot, slow down…
Slow down…

Hey idiot slow down…
Slow down
Hey idiot slow down…
Slow down
