Lyrics - Paroles de chansons

When the one thing in your life comes crashin'
What you gonna do ?
When naievety was my energy
Like power was you tool
And you broke me down like diamonds
Turned my blood to rust
Abuser of an innocence
Your real love was lust

Cos you had to be something
Be someone
And play, play, play, play games with heads
Got the chill when you passed go
You had me like a remote
All you wanted was control

'Cause you had to be something
Be someone
And here are the terms on which you'll live
I'll hate who I want, and I'll give when I give

And just because you're insecure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure (x 2)

One lie for one lie
And now I bet you're happy
And you let it go so soon
Always at the back of my mind

You had to be something
Be someone
And here are the terms on which you'll live
I'll hate who I want, and I'll give when I give

And just because you're insecure
Doesn't mean you couldn't be pure (x 4)

Is this success ?
Tuesday night and penniless
Sign on
Chill out
Skin up
It's your shout
Forgone, I am
In life, I'm damned

This is like Hollywood
All front, no depth, no good
This is my Hollywood
I'd run, I wish I could

Too blind, not me
I've seen the scenery
Palm trees, blue skies
Blown out, snake eyes
You're not, I am
Is this too much too understand ?

This is like Hollywood
All front, no depth, no good
This is my Hollywood
I'd run, I wish I could

Who want's to live in Hollywood?
I don't think I could...
You like to think you live in a world so good

This is like Hollywood
All front, no depth, no good
This is my Hollywood
I'd run, I wish I could
This is my Hollywood (x 4)

How could I let you get so attached
Before I knew you, you had us matched
A broken quartet plays your heartstrings
You're out of tune with everything
Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class
I get asphyxiated
Funny how fast you faded
Nerve gas...

Its cold in the kitchen my nicotine tongue
Is dry and sarcastic and blacker than lungs
You're flipping the tripswitch
And sucking your thumb
And parking your thick head where it don't belong

Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class (x 2)
I get asphyxiated
Funny how fast you faded
Nerve gas...

Its cold in the kitchen my nicotine tongue
Is dry and sarcastic and blacker than lungs
You're flipping the tripswitch
And sucking your thumb
And parking your thick head where it don't belong

Nerve gas, nerve gas, no class (x 2)
I get asphyxiated
Funny how fast you faded
I get asphyxiated
Funny how fast you faded
Nerve gas

I had the best intentions... yeah honestly
I paid attention
I'm a loose connection... some promise me
A soft injection
A shallow feeling
Defies meaning
I need a holiday
To blow you all away
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay

Fell on the outside
Where giving in comes in like the tide
And everybody's shining
Perfecting moments in timing

A shallow feeling
Defies meaning
I need a holiday
To blow you all away
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay

If I talk your talk the words I say
Come back around a different way
The end is just a breath away
If you ain't got a weapon then you'll never get a say

I need a holiday
To blow you all away
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Lose all the stiffs in my parade
I need a holiday
A nuclear holiday
Just go anywhere, I'll stay

Remember that girl who changed your world some time ago
A butterfly soul, you tried to chase, but eventually let go
An inbetweener, would possibly beat her but I don't think so
Around she goes, stuck in your memory, her voice echoes
Oh oh... I will wait for that copper girl (x 2)

Remember that girl who changed your world some time ago
A butterfly soul, you tried to chase, but eventually let go
An inbetweener, would possibly beat her but I don't think so
Around she goes, stuck in your memory, her voice echoes

Oh oh... I will wait for that copper girl (x 4)

Remember that girl who changed your world some time ago
Then she flew away, but she never did quite go...

Oh oh... I will wait for that copper girl (x 4)

So smile, the sixty mile smile
Headlight apocalypse
Sunrise, just for a while
Inject a drip

Sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on) (x 2)

Appetites of the soul
In teeth of a snake
Filling up any hole
You're all afraid

To smile the sixty mile smile
I get so tired of being down
We fall in elegant style
Without a sound

I'm back in from the cold
Something you can't fake
True feelings on parole
We're all afraid

Sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on) (x 2)

Appetites of the soul
In teeth of a snake
In a crowd, you're all alone
You're all afraid (x 4)

To smile the sixty mile smile (x 2)
So smile the sixty mile smile (on and on and on and on) (x 2)

In my head - I can get so far away
The colours here are bright, not black or grey
And my imaginary friends - we always get our way
The madness never ends, and I just wanna stay
But then
I wake
To seek
Escape
Escape... again

Hey, hey, hey - this day has gone to fast
With people like you, make it seem like it's the last
Selfish, helpless and not a part of me
You'll never make me what I don't wanna be

Your words
Spread round
The same
Dead town
Dead town... and streets

You'll never see what I believe
Till it's sunny in England... yeah, yeah

And in
The rain
You soak
The pain
And grieve... and all you do is grieve

You'll never see what I believe
Till it's sunny in England... yeah, yeah

Sometimes I lose this memory
Ain't it good to be in England

You were the bright young thing till you took a little sting of Victorian
Then it spread like a slick, made your frozen heart tick, so you passed it on
But I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma
So I kick around town see who's up and who's down

I hear you're trapped again
And you're straight on the bends
But you'd bend to be straight
Cos you're your only friend

But I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma (x 2)

Turn on the TV, and what do you know ?
Thank God, the new god, remote control

Guess you had it sussed out cos you filled me in when I was young as semen
You say your world's gone cold, I'm stood here breaking the mould
I get this feeling...
That I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma (x 2)

Dad swears and mum don't care cos she knows
No-one hears her when her eyes are closed
Did you get what you want
Is your television keeping you happy ?

Guess you had it sussed out cos you filled me in when I was young as semen
You say your world's gone cold, I'm stood here breaking the mould
I get this feeling...
That I'm alright ma
I'm alright ma (x 3)

I've been thinking about this wasted time
Straight to middle age, I'm last in line
So I drug myself to get smoe peace
'Cause you turn it like it's my last leaf
It don't feel right
Don't taste right
Living in mental blocks
This is the concrete nation
Don't fuck with our sedation
We're alive

So I walk into another room
And sister pain is with me too
Out tongues are anaconda twist
'Cause we're holding out for what we missed

It don't feel right
Don't taste right
Living in Mental Blocks
This is the concrete nation
Don't fuck with our sedation
We're alive

It don't feel right
Don't taste right
Living in mental blocks
This is the concrete nation
Don't fuck with our sedation
Our sedation (x 2)

Things we wanted, but never seen
Just got back, but we never been
Only home when in pictures running in my head
Cos I don't believe in nothing, speak the truth instead
They'll be running round in circles overrating the world
I'll be dreaming about the fit boy and faint girl

Cold in the summer, burned by your freeze
Old newcomer, born to say please

Only home when in pictures running in my head
Cos I don't believe in nothing, speak the truth instead
They'll be running round in circles overrating the world
I'll be dreaming about the fit boy and faint girl

Don't try to tell her that its alright
There's clouds in her mind
There could be time before the lights out
And I may just find
That if she's alright, I'll be alright

Burned up in winter, cold in the sun
Brand new aquaintance, who knows no-one

Only home when in pictures running in my head
Cos I don't believe in nothing, speak the truth instead
They'll be running round in circles overrating the world
I'll be dreaming about the fit boy and faint girl

Halfway up the downs
I want to kill the clowns
They're laughing, laughing loud
Halfway up the downs
Halfway to somewhere, halfway to nowhere
I try to give care, how can you play fair ?
Halfway up the downs
I want to kill the clowns
They're laughing, laughing loud
Halfway up the downs

Where are you going ?
Would you try for me ?
What are you knowing ?
What have you seen ?

Halfway up the downs
I want to kill the clowns
They're laughing, laughing loud
Halfway up the downs

Who fucking cares ?
Don't say you care
I know just where you're coming from
Just where you're coming from

And you've got to have money
New religion is money (x 2)
Halfway up the downs

Love - hate, hate - love
Which side now ?
You look like heartburn
Pray still my dear agnostic
Despise what you've learned
Hateslick - core is rotten
Hateslick - long forgotten

I'd die to make the right sounds
You look so far away
You're talking like a someone
Yet you got nothing to say

Hateslick - core is rotten
Hateslick - long forgotten, you say

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just wanna talk to you
Just wanna get through to you
But I'm sliding
On your hateslick

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Just wanna talk to you
Just wanna get through to you
But I'm sliding
Just wanna talk to you (x 10)

Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah...

They're talking of ways to make you up to break you down
And these are the days to make it up - to get around
You claim you're the harmed, but you're the face that looks away
So lay down your arms, we know the war is on its way
And you want to live on my side
Don't let the child in you die

We're sleeping on glass that cuts so deep your blood is cheap
Material ghosts who wander streets... wandering

I want to live on love's side
Don't let the child in you die... and
Don't fade on me, don't make believe
The animals will break you if they can
So stay a while with me... a life condition free
In love's cradle wherever you may be

Talking of ways to make you see the real me
So just be yourself and you can be what you've always been

I want to live on love's side
Don't ask, don't lie just get high... and
Don't fade on me, don't make believe
The animals will break you if they can
So stay a while with me... a life condition free
In love's cradle wherever you may be

Little people looking through the windows
Checking out their alteregos
Down... Out...

No risk, but there is no passion
Your computer's checking my rations

Down... Out... take heed

You cut, I bleed blood like aniseed
My eyes dilate, reigning dreamstate
I could give in to your needs
If we weren't such a crossbreed

You were made to sit up with the gods
Eternally against the odds

Down... Out...

No risk, but there is no passion
Your computer's checking my rations

Down... Out... take heed

You cut, I bleed blood like aniseed
My eyes dilate, reigning dreamstate
I could give in to your needs
If we weren't such a crossbreed

You won't take my life away (x 2)

Little people lloking through the windows
Checking out their alteregos

Down... Out...

No risk, but there is no passion
Your computer's checking my rations

Down... Out... take heed

You cut, I bleed blood like aniseed
My eyes dilate, reigning dreamstate
I could give in to your needs...
If we weren't such a crossbreed
