Hang Me So Low
04:04
|

You are the evil in my heart
You are the monster in the dark
You are the static on my TV
Watch it staring back at me
It says "Man, can't you see...?"
"...You're a walking tragedy."
"Oh yeah?"
"Oh yeah. Cause she's gone!"
Now I'll never see you again
Goodbye my beautiful friend
Heartbreak is happening again
Come hang me so low
Come hang me
You are a train wreck in my heart
You are an ending to the start
You are a Monday on my weekend
Watch me crawl in sick again
I'm too tired to pretend
That I haven't reached the end
Oh yeah. Oh yeah.
Cause you're gone!
Now I'll never see you again
Goodbye my beautiful friend
Heartbreak is happening again
Come hang me so low
Now I'll never see you again
Goodbye my terrible friend
Heartbreak is happening again
Come hang me so low
Come hang me
Maybe you're the reason
I'm still alive
Maybe you're the reason
I will survive
Maybe you're the reason
My hands are tied
Now I'll never see you again
Goodbye my beautiful friend
Heartbreak is happening again
Come hang me so low
Now I'll never see you again
Goodbye my terrible friend
Heartbreak is happening again
Come hang me so low
Come hang me
See you
I'll never hold you
In my arms tonite
Now I'll never see you
I'll never hold you
In my arms tonite

I’ve been waiting for a wretched heart your heart
and i’ve been waiting for palest eyes your eyes
i’ve been waiting for a blackest heart your heart
and i’ve been waiting for silver eyes your eyes
and i’ve been waiting for a bleeding heart your heart
and i’ve been waiting for a thousand eyes your eyes
Oh in your television eyes
i’ve been mesmerized
Oh there’s just one thing to surmise
before we all capsize
huh uh
and i’ve been waiting for a raging heart your heart
and i’ve been waiting for thieving eyes your eyes
Oh in your television eyes
i’ve been mesmerized
Oh there’s just one thing to surmise
before we all capsize

It's Pandemonium!
05:25

Now
I fall into the sea again
I am up so high
How
I got into this mess
Unknown! Until I die
Mystified
All I can see
Nothing’s ever wrong with me
All I can say
Never go in all the way
I could hope
I wouldn’t want it all surreal
I could say I’ll never ever go away
Away away away away
And we could travel through the night
Its pandemonium!
Can you feel the Fahrenheit?
It’s pandemonium!
And it feels like heaven tonite
I couldn’t feel
I couldn’t write
I couldn’t steal
Your breath tonight
I saw your hair whipped by delight
All in a dream I had last night
I couldnt help
think of the sight
your velvet skin
by candlelight
i made a mix
it played all night
but all i could do
was hold you tight
with all my might
All I can see
Oh nothing’s ever gone from me
All I can say
I’m feeling like a manta ray
I can hope
I’m wooden faceless all revealed
And I could say
I’ll never ever go away
Away away away away
And we could travel through the night
Its pandemonium!
Take a chance with me tonite
It’s pandemonium!
And it feels like heaven tonite
I couldn’t feel
I couldn’t write
I couldn’t steal
Your breath tonight
I saw your hair whipped by delight
All in a dream I had last night
I couldnt help
think of the sight
your velvet skin
by candlelight
i made a mix
it played all night
but all i could do
was hold you tight
with all my might
Who came along
Turned off the light
On common sense
And human rights
Don’t trust the news
I do implore
The world will end
On channel 4
Wish you had stayed
with me tonight
when love is real
it's always right
I never felt
like this before
That’s why i’m knocking
Outside your door
in this downpour

Do U Recall?

Do U Recall?
She was heading for the subway
When i met her first that night
I tried to say a few small words
But they didn’t come out right
She said:
“With lines like that boy well… you don’t stand a chance.
But what I really want to know is do ya... do ya…?
Do you know how to dance?”
Do you recall in the fall
They were playing disco
We’re cutting shapes in slow-mo
Do you recall in the halls
I wrote a song about goodbyes
That you would later plagiarize
You were headed for the doorway
Fell into my line of sight
I tried to buy you a rum and coke
Just to be polite
You said:
“with eyes like yours boy
You might stand a chance.”
I said:
“What I really want to know is do ya… do ya…?
Do you know how to dance?”
Do you recall in the fall
We were trashing chateaus
Driving off in Peugeots
Do you recall in the halls
Popped a can and took a swig
Then she copied all my Trig
“Hello?”
“It’s me”
“I told you to stop calling. It’s over!”
“Yea…I know but… there’s something that’s been bothering me.
There’s something I have to ask you.”
“What?”
“Well this new guy you’re dating… this so-called doctor?
I know he’s got a lot of money and he’s really good looking
and everything-“
“Yes?”
“Well I guess what I want to know and I think the question you should
be asking yourself is…
CAN HE DO THIS?”
I miss my friend
I can’t accept the end
Please start the new world
And let me in
Do you recall in the fall-
Don’t look back no going backwards
Don’t look back sinking backwards
Do you recall in the halls-
Don’t look back no going backwards
Don’t look back sinking backwards

Meet the Exciters
04:29
|
|

You are sycophantic hard-wired
Messing with my desire
Burning over you
I see you no longer need me
On an island of Greece
I took the blame
But it won’t be the same cause-
You are a ghost in the machine
I am the phantom limb you’re feeling
Oh yeah it’s you!
And you are a fashion magazine
I am the staples in between
Trying to get inside your head
You are atmospheric discharge
Glitter bomb!
I’m Descartes
Adding me to you
I see caryatid ennui
Wishing that I could be
An effigy like you
There’s so much we could do cause-
You are a ghost in the machine
I am the phantom limb you’re feeling
Oh yeah it’s you
And you are a glamour magazine
I am the binding that’s unseen
Without me you’ll fall apart
Now I want to forget
I’m not done with you yet
Take a chance you’ll be excited
And I want to be clean
But your eyes are obscene
What I have is what I wanted now…
Now now now now now now now
You are a ghost in the machine
I am the phantom limb you’re feeling
Oh yeah it’s you
And you are a fashion magazine
I am the staples in between
Trying to get inside your head
Does it feel right?
Does it feel right?
Does it feel right?
Out of your mind?
Does it feel right?
Does it feel right?
Does it feel right?
Out of your mind?

Bad Vibes
05:12
|
|||
I tried to crash a funeral party
Told the doorman “I need a win”
He said “I know your kind. You're a fun killer. You’ll do this party in.”
So I snuck in round the back
Tried to blend into the scenery
Then a grieving widow spun me around
And she said this to me:
"We don’t need your bad vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes and all your gloom and doom...
We just need some good times
We just need some good vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes chasing fun right out of the room"
So I thought I’d start a band
Write some songs for the young at heart
But I couldn’t write a verse, a chorus, or figure out just how to start
So I walked out to the rain
And the heavens began to part
And a voice from up above
Echoed down and nearly, well, nearly broke my heart
It said:
"We don’t need your bad vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes and all your gloom and doom
We just need some good times
We just need some good vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes chasing fun right out of the room"
Now I’m at a funeral party
And everyone begins to celebrate
They’re bringing out the rum, over drinking, oh yeah they’re in quite a state
And a man walks up to me
Says he’s glad that I passed away
And as he closed the lid, everyone, all around, they join in to say:
"We don’t need your bad vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes and all your gloom and doom
We just need some good times
We just need some good vibes
We don’t need your bad vibes chasing fun right out of the room"

Bleak House

I wonder why
You hate me like you do
All the horrible things you said
Well some of it was untrue
Now i’m drinking in the parlour
Thinking of a father who’s passed into
The great beyond
Once or twice
You’ll feel safe
I’ve been dying
Since your fall from grace
Once or twice
I’ve felt safe
I’ve been trying
Not to feel erased
I wonder why
You love me like you do
All the terrible things we said
Well most of it was all true
Now i’m thinking in the parlour
Sinking even farther into depths
I’ve never known
Once or twice…
- “Just say you need me”
You’ll feel safe
- “...and hold me tight”
I’ve been dying
- “Love me forever”
Since your fall from grace
- “...this endless night”
Once or twice…
- “Just say you need me”
I’ve felt safe
- “...and hold me tight”
Ive been trying
- “Love me forever”
not to feel misplaced
- “...this endless night”
Now i’m drinking at the harbour
Staring at the water
I’ll slip into the great beyond
Once or twice...
- “Just say you need me”
You’ll feel safe
- “...and hold me tight”
I’ve been dying
- “Love me forever”
Since my fall from grace
- “...this endless night”
Once or twice
- “Just say you need me”
I’ve felt safe
- “...and hold me tight”
I’ve been trying
- “Love me forever”
Not to feel debased
- “...this endless night”

If I Were Besotted
05:21
|
|||
I'm coming round
To having some ambition
Think I'll sleep on it tonight
I'm frightened of
Your lack of inhibition
Take me swimming after midnight
Hiding out again
They come for me
Hiding out again
Cause I'm guilty so guilty
If I were you
I'd get out of my way
And if I were you
I’d be somewhere else today
If I were you
I’d love me anyway
Cause if I break or fall apart
Don’t say it again
Oh no, uh uh
I may have planned
And I may have plotted
But I didn't mean to excite
I don't believe
That I am besotted
I'm just adverse to being upright
Falling down again
Look out for me
Falling down again
Well I'll be where you are
If I were you
I'd get out of my way
And if I were you
I’d be somewhere else today
If I were you
I’d love me anyway
Cause if I break or fall apart
Don’t say it again
Oh no, uh uh
Lying down again
Look out for me
Lying down again
Cause I’m guilty so guilty
If I were you
I'd get out of my way
And if I were you
I’d be somewhere else today
If I were you
I’d love me anyway
Cause if I break or fall apart
Don’t say it again
Oh no, uh uh uh huh
I am the one who loves you
I am the one who needs you
I am the one who cares for you now
I am the one who loves you
I am the one who needs you
I am the one who cares for you now

All You Grey Girls
02:52

I've got bad news for you
I think I'm beginning to like you
This is bad news for me
I know I know I know
It's unlikely
That you could fall
For someone like me
Oh you grey girls
Fall into my arms
Oh you red girls
That devious smile
Is killing me child
I've got bad news for you
I think I'm beginning to like you
This is bad news for me
I know I know I know
I'm unsightly
How could you fall
For someone like...
Him!
Oh you grey girls
Fall into my arms
Oh you red girls
That devious smile
Is killing me child
Oh you grey girls
Fall into my arms
Oh you red girls
That devious smile
Is killing me child
That's putting it mild

Cabin Fever
05:04

When I collide
Now I am enough
Decay and move slow
Heartbreak you’ll know
For all...
Time
For all...
Time
Fever dream
I awake with a scream
Argue with an albatross
Carsick too
And hullabaloo
In the basement
We’ll find what we lost
For all...
Time
For all...
Time
Wait now
Hold now
She breaks and glows
We try
Let die
Heartbreak you’ll know
For all...
Time
For all...
Time
For all...
Time
For all...
Time
