Little Wonder
|
|
Stinky weather, fat shaky hands Dopey morning Doc, grumpy gnomes Little wonder then, little wonder You little wonder, little wonder you Big screen dolls, tits and explosions Sleepytime, bashful but nude Little wonder then, little wonder You little wonder, little wonder you I getting that Enter Galactic, see me to be you It's all in the tablets, sneezy bhutan Little wonder then, little wonder You little wonder, little wonder you Mars happy nation, sit on my karma Dame meditation, take me away Little wonder then, little wonder You little wonder, little wonder you Sending me so far away, so far away So far away, so far away Little wonder You little wonder, you Little wonder Little wonder you Seding me so far away, so far away So far away, so far away Little wonder You little wonder, you Little wonder, little wonder You little wonder, you You little wonder, little wonder you Little wonder then, little wonder You little wonder, little wonder you |

Battle for Britain (The Letter)
|
|
My, my, the time do fly When it's in another pair of hands And a loser I will be For I've never been a winner in my life I got used to stressing pain I used the sucker pills to pity for the self Oh, it's the animal in me But I'd rather be a beggarman on the shelf Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff It's the rain before the storm On a better day, I'll take you by the hand And I'll walk you through the doors Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff It's the rain before the storm Don't you let my letter get you down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you My, my, but time do fly When it's in another pair of pants And illusion I will be For I've never been a sinner, la di da Don't be so forlorn, it's just the payoff It's the rain before the storm Don't you let my letter get you down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you let my letter get you down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Don't you let my letter get you down Don't you, don't you, don't you, don't you Down |

Seven Years in Tibet
|
|
Are you OK? You've been shot in the head And I'm holding your brains The old woman said So I drink in the shadows Of an evening sky See nothing at all The stars look so special And the snow looks so old The frail form is drifting Beyond the yoga zone Turn to question the mountain Why pigs can fly It's nothing at all I praise to you Nothing ever goes away I praise to you Nothing ever goes I praise to you I praise to you Nothing ever goes away I praise to you Nothing ever goes I praise to you Nothing ever goes away I praise to you Nothing ever goes, nothing ever goes Nothing |

Dead Man Walking
|
|
He swivels his head Tears his eyes from the screen As his past puts him back in Atlantic City There's not even a demon in Heaven or Hell Is it all just human disguise As I walk down the aisle And I'm gone gone gone Now I'm older than movies Let me dance away Now I'm wiser than dreams Let me fly fly fly While I'm touching tomorrow And I know who's there When silhouettes fall And I'm gone Like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone through a crack in the past Like a dead man walking Like a dead man walking Two young men dancing under the lamplight Shaking their sex and their bones And the boys that we were An alien nation in therapy Sliding naked and new Like a bad tempered child On a rain slicked street And I'm gone gone gone And I'm older than movies Oh let me dance away Now I'm wiser than dreams Let me fly fly fly While I'm touching tomorrow And I know who's there When silhouettes fall And I'm gone And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone, through the crack in the past Like a dead man walking Like a dead man walking Like a dead man Like a dead man walking And I'm gone gone gone Let me dance dance dance And I'm gone gone gone Let me dance dance dance And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone, through a crack in the past And I'm gone, like I'm dancing on angels And I'm gone, through the crack in the past Like a dead man walking Like a dead man walking Like a dead man Like a dead man walking |

Telling Lies
|
|
Telling lies Gorgeous girls are bound to meet To talk of stars and kings and feet Through the chromosomes of space and time Me, I'm fast like bad infection Gasping for my resurrection Swear to me in times of war and stress Telling lies Telling lies Oo - ah, visionary Oo - ah, visionary Feels like something's gonna happen this year Telling lies Shadow falls on shrinking smile See me poised at the happy games Standing in the mouth of all that's pure Come straggling in your tattered rainments Come to me in tears and blame I'm your future, I'm tomorrow, I'm the end Telling lies Telling lies Oo - ah, visionary Oo - ah, visionary Feels like something's gonna happen this year |

The Last Thing You Should Do
|
|
What have you been doing to yourself What have you been doing to yourself What have you been doing to yourself It's the last thing you should do Nobody laughs any more Nobody laughs any more Nobody laughs any more It's the worst thing you can do Save the last dance for me Catch the last bus with me Give the last kiss to me It's the safest thing to do Yeah! What have you been doing to yourself What have you been doing to yourself What have you been doing to yourself It's the last thing you should do Nobody laughs any more Nobody laughs any more Nobody laughs any more It's the worst thing you can do Save the last dance with me Catch the last bus with me Give the last kiss to me It's the safest thing to do Yeah! |

Law (Earthlings on Fire)
|
|
I don't want knowledge, I want certainty In the street a man shouts out loud A wallet drops and money flies into the midday sun With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground Oh I get a little bit afraid Sometimes Earthlings on fire With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground Sure I get a little bit afraid Sometimes Earthlings on fire I don't want knowledge, I want certainty In a house a man drops dead As he hits the floor he sighs "What a morning" With the sound, with the sound, with the sound of the ground Sure I get a little bit afraid Sometimes Earthlings on fire Oh I get a little bit afraid Sometimes Earthlings on fire Earthlings on fire (I don't want knowledge, I want certainty) Sometimes Earthlings (I don't want knowledge, I want certainty) I don't want knowledge |
