middle of the ocean float down the river river is dry walk in the mud nothing else left eels suffocate lock your door close your account

Get in before they put the padlock back on Open their eyes How can a radiating speaker move so fast and get so far away from nowhere You want to see those little fruits All flailing for impeachment in a fennel scented racket Stop complaining you're available for public consumption Keep the onions in the kitchen, you don't need more of that in your life They shove it down your throat shove it down your throat shove it down your throat shove it down your throat shove it down your throat shove it down your throat shove it down your throa You get mocked or you get shot boy, live with it! It's the same for everybody, just they're not on the TV to tell you Everyone knows what your game is You don't have to tell us what move we should make Golden thrones built on stacks of white chocolate Not even your hats could be big enough Mute all the squall of a divisive debate Initially we are offended We'll quickly move on to more important things A breakdown of GDP per capita among the developing world It's too late to notice your seccession from the union In principle a majority was needed but you can have the same effect with a knife Cut yourself out of our circle Cut us out from under your skin We should have listened more Not just poked the beast that lives beneath your auburn hair It rears it's ugly head and screams your name and screams your name and screams your name and screams your name and screams your name and scr It scares us half to death boy, no offence...

[Venture Capitalist:] Have you found your calling? Or are you just stalling? What were you thinking? Spending now drinking But what's the use of working when there is no work to do? Drop out and save the world Dropout to spare us all Float away in your big balloon Bomb the little children Flypast your perfect house of cards Burst your little bubble The child catcher's coming with his little red trailer What can you do but trail her? It will not happen [?] There were no monsters in the car park What were you thinking? Little capitalist boy What were you drinking? Little terrorist boy [Barrage Balloon:] I'll take you for a ride Let's go and see the fireworks As the planes come crashing down Come and ride my balloon We'll fly past the moon (It's a barrage balloon) And I'll take you to see the pretty lights of the city I'll take you anywhere that you wanna go and where do you want to go to next This balloon is full of hot air And one day this balloon will burst It's a barrage balloon

What is it you're asking? We're not your kind I am not normal broken not much longer if you won't go leave us be we'll make our own normal

This morning when I woke up I cut notches in my fingernails This morning when I woke up I cut notches in my fingernails This morning when I woke up I cut notches in my fingernails One for each time we touched I don't have long fingernails anymore You may have noticed A reminder of what we did And didn't How cold of you To say What did I want you to say? What did I want you to say? What did I want you to say? Perhaps you're the one who'll get me out I was drinking your tea when you called, after all But then I'd flatten the world for you to walk on So who knows Perhaps you're always right But it hurts me to admit it I'd swim across that muddy river to prove myself Throw me a rope Lift up your hands Educate the lovely deluded children Lift up your soft hands Show us how you are underneath You'd be the most popular girl in the hospital But I've already given you all that I had I'd take you to Jupiter, bring you back home again Doesn't that sound fun? It's just at the back of my head That you won't give me an answer When I ring the bell And call your name It's like this every time, of course Looking in the book I can see myself Though I wish I didn't recognise that man "She says it'll be good for me" But you'd do anything she says regardless, wouldn't you? Do you want to listen, or just hear it again and again? "Got some new friends, haven't seen the old ones much" You're going to say it every year How long It takes To change And find you haven't How ambitious you were To look at the world, say it all could be mine A field of English roses But underneath there's a ring of mould "There's not many people like that around nowadays" Well if you wanted to live in the past you could have died young But nothing's really changed Only the names are different It takes So long To change And find yourself back where you started "Got some old friends, haven't seen the new ones much" I wonder how old Bernard is today I only saw him this evening It seems like a lifetime ago "I got all melancholy there" Well hold the door boy It'll come flooding through in a moment A rising tide of sentimental gibberish "Yesterday I had some interesting thoughts in the shower" A birthday party for a waxwork academic And a blonde girl with waxy eyes Have you always been so stra-nge? "Nobody else is awake yet, only me" Perhaps they were awake all along, and you're the one dreaming? "I've never been so close to getting my name on the list" Tell yourself what you need to hear, I suppose "Oh, how I wish the Earth was flat" It's a painful stereotype, but then you nail every line on the head "We only have to be as close as you're comfortable with" Preferably about six inches and fourpence change A short breathless distance That still takes years to cross "Had some friends, haven't seen them today" Now please go down Send a private sector of your skin Go downtown now Where the jet hits you square in the- But we don't do that anymore He'll be right behind you All the way home Though you may not realise He won't catch you if you fall But we don't do that anymore I've seen you on the sofa And if now's a good time Let's talk like we used to But we don't do that anymore So I hear an event is being planned tonight Obviously I'm the entertainment Well I don't accept your invitation Perhaps we can entertain each other (we don't do that anymore) You bought in plenty of stock, I hope There's a lot to get through in not much time Even without fixing anything of me I wonder what would happen if we finished the bottle (we don't do that anymore) It's easier to speak When we don't use words A flick of my hair A touch of our fingertips But we don't do that anymore We don't do that anymore (This morning when I woke up I cut notches in my fingernails) We don't do that anymore We don't do that anymore We don't do that anymore (So tomorrow if I wake up I'll cut notches in my fingernails) We don't do that anymore We don't do that anymore We don't do that anymore (This morning when I woke up I cut notches in my fingernails) We don't do that anymore

The tiniest of sounds At just the right moment Takes you all the way there It was a cold December morning You looked at me And that was when I heard the sound That was when I heard the sound

There once was a boy who said "You only want to go where I will not take you" But that was before we missed the bus After we ran all the way to the stop And later, there was that boy, saying "I only want what I cannot take from you" And that was when the bus went by And we should have walked all the way home But I ran into the night And I could get us a lift A friend has a car But a real friend Is something you don't have Is something you can't have Is everything you need So I must have left him to it Creeping down a country lane in the early hours Hiding from the headlamps Either running away or running towards it makes no difference They'll always find her in the end A bit like that boy found me But she can stay for a little while And that was that boy

Well, I got a pound in my pocket and I don't think I'll be seeing you no more You got your own website But you don't remember how to develop it You got your own internet I am not online Cardboard clogs the arteries Drainpipes overflowing, leaking Nothing could be more revealing How you say you care about this place And I will not calm down, no you calm down And get your hands off my country Just hurry up and die Hurry up and die, 'cause we are the future Hurry up and die We are the future Everyone is welcome here Except for you And we won't allow it To tolerate the intolerant is to tolerate intolerance All that remains of a beautiful friendship Spent magazines lie and cover the floor One single page face up says something incongruous But that's enough to open the gates Most brains have pathways but this one's a highway And it doesn't lead to anywhere good A simple little sound A noise to remind you that you should be asleep A shiny sound, a gentle sound, with the edge of a rusty knife The union jack hangs in tatters on a tree It knows its place The only place it belongs Everybody's leaving now And who can blame them Everybody's leaving Everyone's identical But things are different now old man Production line people But we will not produce for you Your world isn't built for us We'll build a better world without you pona li pona tawa nasin sewi ali mi moku pi seli nasa mi lon tomo pi jan pona ali pakala la, pona li wan tenpo pona la, jan ali li sama No good coward walks away from a fight

So tomorrow if I wake up I'll cut notches in my fingernails One for each time I saw your face When you weren't in the room There's not much space left before someone gets hurt How kind of you To give up A seat At your table How rude of me To kick it over I suppose this is the end

I wish I had a balloon To lift me into the darkening sky I'll walk down the river To the mud of the estuary The tide will be a-coming in I hope the sun is shining I can hear those bears roaring in my ears The wind roars even louder I float down the river Out to the sea The sea comes up to meet me I turn my face toward the sky My body hits the waves And the sky is the colour of beetles
