LYRICS:
Jesus Christ,
You know I get like
I do, it’s not
'Cause of you
It’s not 'cause of anything
I wholly understand
Endeavour we did
To never have hidden from our light
What a delightful mess we’ve made
But who knows for sure
Where the lines are drawn
Never was surely safe
Never was sure of anything
Never mind
The answers man
It’s better than
The math might tell you (without a sound)
Oh it’s easier when you have to
And I still can’t be sure
Who this vision was for
Oh and wasn’t there something more

LYRICS:
To say that
This life's enough for me so if I
Could
Leave
Quietly
All the time
I'm stressed cause my knees bleeding for you
You messed with my mind
You compensated with your touch
Aw yeah that's right about time
If you would
Take me
I'd say yeah
Yeah baby
Which
Truth
Is
Best now
You could say that we could never be friends but I think that you're
WRONG AND YOU NEVER LISTEN TO WHAT I SAY
If you think you'll save me from myself then I guess I got time for you OH BABY
Get me out of my mind
So if
If you say
If you say so
What
Use
Is
It now

LYRICS:
She’s all I
Thought I could
Try to
Tell be-
-tween and when I
Thought I saw her
With him
I never
Expected to feel what I felt
As distraught as I was
That night, it could not stop me from
Feeling that I could still have you in
A different way
In a different way
So I guess I’ll
Just do what I do best
Or die trying oooh
[Kazoo solo]
Oh but what have I done to you sweet
Something I used to have
And hold so dear to me I’ll completely
Forget before long
What it was I did wrong
Was it worth a love song?
Ooh
What’s the point (I don't know)
She’s all I
Thought I could
Aspire to
Tell the
Truth to once in a while
Once in a while
Oh once in a while
[Kazoo solo]

LYRICS:
Cracked stone
What was
Meant for
Much more
Pointless little fractures
Spreading forth
Complications
At birth
Pick a part
Your life's worth
Just to see who it was on in the inside
The moment’s gone
How does it feel?
So you wait
Wait for something
Someone to let go
Someone to save you
A torch to hold
Oh, how does it feel?
How does it feel…
Crashed satellite children
And their elders don't care anymore
So you wait out your turn
Soon enough you'll be on your way…
Something superficial
This way comes
No way out of this one
No chance to take
And still growing older
Still the best that you can do for now
Gotta see through
Gotta get to…

LYRICS:
I spent my soul on a broken watch
Reading 11 I trapped myself in a little box
Forgot the passwords to all the locks
But I wrote them down!
We made our way to her darkened room
Girl
I got nothing for you
But I got nothing else to do
She may be evil but I'm feeling kinda evil myself
Then she told me I was evil, meant for her to say that she will
Not get me down
But get down with me
Look here,
You just say I'm a nuisance
You need me to but it's useless
You wanted to change but you're so used to this ah
Goodness gracious...
She'll make it better she promises
Then she touched me with cold hands
She combs my hair with her cold hands
I rest my soul in her cold hands
Then she turned me into stone,
Said I should be going home
It's late now
Feeling shit and growing old
Oh man,
Believe me
She's a mess she's a slippery bugger
She's a brand new sensation
If I only knew the location
Of the dark recess that it came from
Ah or like, the dirt that it stemmed from
I would try to explain further but I don’t quite have the verve
You want something you lost little perv??
WWOOOOAAAAHHHHHHHH
She pulls me closer with cold hands
She lets me know with her cold hands
She gets me off with her cold hands
She pulls me down with her cold hands
Cold hands cold hands cold hands
And she'll see you but she won’t understand
She'll see you dancing in naked light but she won't understand
And you won't tell her she won't understand
She'll tear you apart with her cold hands
Then she touched me with cold hands
She holds me down with her cold hands
She pries me open with cold hands
And she wont understand
And I don’t understand
And we wont understand
COLD HANDS COLD HANDS COLD HANDS

The Works

LYRICS:
Somebody's been knocking
The moment has found me
Just as I knew it would
And here, I was hoping
Playing the fool again
More of the same again
Fragmented offerings of change
Stuck at the edge of reason
I force it down
Residual feelings
Laced in the season
And love songs waiting
Tangled in her hair
And love songs for uncertain ears
Still in the works
And time's ticking
Time's ticking away
Time's ticking away
Just beyond all doubt
Can't we see this out
Of course you can,
Following the winds
Through the rest of
This mess we're in

LYRICS:
You let my sun fall down
You see me swallowed whole
Oh I can't let this go
I never thought I would show
You the way in
Oooh
What were you doing there
Selling my flesh for medicine
Selling my flesh for medicine
Set upon by cold open sea
Too bad that this cannot be
I'm broken by your fall
Oh, what was it I was waiting for
You see me swallowed whole
Oh what does it matter now?
I never thought I would follow
You all the way in
Oooh
What were you doing there?
Selling my flesh for medic-
Selling my flesh for medicine
Selling my flesh for medicine
Ooooh what were you doing there?

Perish the Thought
04:34
|
|

|
LYRICS:
Heading into view
A pity that you never knew
What it took to
Push all the way
Through
I pity the fool
Who knew
There was only time to lose
Waiting on you that I mourn
The same page from which I'm torn
And true to form
You dreamt a dream faded and worn
So
You should
Further than ever before
But still searching for some...
Something more
True to form
Sick of the same view
Far better if you never knew
Hard enough to
Perish the thought
Of you and your lofty schemes
Perish the thought of you
Ever coming with me now
Ever with secret sounds
Ever with secret methods how
But couldn't have tried any less
And still I resent, I confess
And even if it's true
Best to forget what you thought you knew
Such a chore
Tell me again what's it for
And you know
It's never going to stop
Don't you think that you've had
Quite enough
Don’t you dare
Let me down
Lose your ground
Lest we remain
Forever mired in this shame

LYRICS:
Nowhere near
As far as I
Could try if I dared
To fly if I dared
Feel the edge of it
Taunting
Waiting
For my light
Could I be happy enough
To say
That I have been
Loved, but left
While I could
Left while I could
Left while I could
Never really meant what I said
Never said what I really meant
Add to all
That's left in my head
Left in my head

LYRICS:
Well on your way now
Look at him go
Stays in his head
Puts on a show
For those in the know
Peeled from the mold
Concealed from the soul
Fashioning certain-
-ty from the feeling
Just send 'em reeling
Keep 'em guessing
It matters not
As you will see
Your all or nothing
What’s it to be
Not the cost I could bear to pay
For the dreams you filed away
But she sees it her way
He needs it his
Needless to say
Heedless today
She fixes his gaze,
Cures his malaise
Blind to the pattern
Oooh
And he's not what he wanted to be
Some ideal that he saw on TV (there is more left to be)
But he'll come around
Come around
In the end
[Solo]
Still who's to say it's not
Far better this way
Much safer than you
Might've thought
Might've feared...
As long as it takes
Purpose in place
Of the wall
And through it all
We never could quite
Pull it together
From so far apart
Thus obsessed, nonetheless
You saw me through
What I fell into...
Running amok now
Unformed enough now
To keep the show going
To keep the carousels
Spinning round
Awash with candy store allure
It matters not
See for yourself
It can't be helped now
It's back again
Lurks in the corner
Slowly approaching
Without a sound
The sundry terrors
Well in reserve
Here to teach
Here to serve
Just need a way in to see this out
Last chance to see what it's all about
[Solo]
Oooh
And she said
Baby I'm a sight for sore eyes only
Maybe I could settle for you
Someday we'll be looking at this and laughing
Lately I've been trying to
Oooh
What's it to you?
Still it’s there all the same
It’s getting closer
Now
Do you feel it
On your back?
It's all it takes to
Know this too
Now
Will you come out
Will you come around
Now?

Secret Spells
05:39

LYRICS:
Just as I knew you were
Waiting on a siren lure
To bring us out of stasis
Same as ever
Were we ever,
Ever meant to?
Just as my shadow did
Refuse to cast a form to last
As would your secret spells
Had they nothing to say
I still may
Driven to extremes
What's it s'posed to mean?
If you're so sure
Would you please
Delineate the
Boundaries of
Your theory
At long last
Will it all be worth it?
It just could be
Our last chance
Our last dance
With all your grand
Intentions I figured you’d know
Just how
Doesn't matter now
Doesn't matter now
I had to learn to
Stop waiting on your move
It's your move now
I get it now
I can see just how
It could be
It should be
Our last chance
But it's just too
Draining and
Dejecting to care
The whole time
This time is mine
So we were taught
So we were taught
But I'll never learn
I'll never learn
And neither will the
Billions of people
Silly people
It's already there if you listen
Just listen...
Can you see what this means?
Or is this just a
Desperate plea to make it seem it was worth it?
In the end
In the end
Maybe we'll see...
And just like that
All of a sudden… It's time
It seems this is goodbye…
Goodbye.
