Babeland
You said you blew it,
you said just screw it,
you said you really want to get him back.
I was driven to the conclusion,
that theres something baby that you lack,
You traded in your love for pills,
and a man three times you age
Diazepam - ten milligram, overdosed
across the centre page.
Trash talk, trash walked, I dont know how this was done
Nine eleven, ring the number, this cant be your kind of fun,
this cant be your .... kinda fun.
You got fame, you got the fortune
but these things they just dont last
They say its poison, its like pollution
like breathing C.S. gas.
You lost your faith, you gained addiction
insulation around your heart.
In the subway, they speak your language
theres always something baby in the dark.
Nine eleven - nine one one.
Nine eleven - nine one one.
Nine eleven - nine one one.
Buffalo 66
You missed that team, you missed that kick - Buffalo 66.
Five years down and five years sick - Buffalo 66.
Day release and you got to take a piss - Buffalo 66.
You missed the point at which your life clicked - Buffalo 66.
And you need a car, and you need a phone
and you need a wife - just to take her home.
You bark all day but you just can't bite, - Buffalo 66.
You find a girl but you talk all night - Buffalo 66.
You can't find love 'cause you're too uptight - Buffalo 66.
Nervous cool, but you don't look right - Buffalo 66.
And you need a car, and you need a phone
and you need a wife - just to take her home.
You drove them all away with your self defense,
You know you got a gun, but it don't make much sense.
Your ma and pa, they got nothing to say,
there's a hole in your life, it gets bigger everyday.
Cardboard Heartbeats
You're going down town
to the chain-store
Its a short ride to the first floor.
But its a dead end in a small town,
on a calm sea the ship goes down.
My heart bleeds for your sacred cows....
You're feeling better now.
So you change yourself
to what you want to be.
But you're still a cog in society.
In the concrete and the stainless steel,
you're taking pains just to oil the wheels.
My heart bleeds for your sacred cows....
You're feeling better now.
You've never had it so good.
Different Scene
Do you know what I mean when I say I'm on it.
Do you know what I mean, you say you got it.
When you beg and steal, you know you're on it.
When your cuts won't heal, you know you got it.
I got my wires and I got my keys
Its a different scene man, a different scene.
Everyone that you meet conceals they're on it.
When you're on the street, you say you want it.
When I hear you speak, I know you're on it.
When I see you freak, I know you've got it.
I got my wires and I got my keys
its a different scene man, a different scene.
You just dance around, you dance around.
Going underground, you so underground.
I got my wires and I got my keys
its a different scene man, its a different scene.
I got my wires and I got my keys
Its a different scene man, a different scene.
Dark energy, dark energy, calling you calling me.

Business man in the three piece suit
wants the lady in stiletto boots.
Lucy says she's tied up in knots,
she read the guide to the pleasure spots.
Baby take me home I want to download and view.
Baby take me home I want to download and view.
Young and blonde, sub or dom.
Just ring the doorbell marked Yvonne.
Medication - keep taking the shots,
it's in the guide to the pleasure spots.
Baby take me home I want to download and view.
Baby take me home I want to download and view.
Fragile face turned into the light
just to get the angle right.
In the chat-room fairground glow,
strained emotions overflow.
Ribbed for pleasure or super sense.
Are we talking love or French.
Problem pages, join up the dots.
It's in the guide to the pleasure spots.
Baby take me home I want to download and view.
Baby take me home I want to download and view.
Fragile face turned into the light
just to get the angle right.
In the chat-room fairground glow,
strained emotions overflow.
Yeah yeah yeah, Don't fucking care.
Guillotine
Baby just remember I bought you
pretty flowers,
Baby from the gutter you sent them
back to me.
I remember every empty hour.
You were never queen
of democracy.
What you need, what you got
your lifeline - that you forgot.
What you need, what you got
one more line - one more rock.
Baby I remember when you couldn't be found.
My friends tell me when they
last saw you.
It doesn't matter much to me.
Behind the rags I can still see you.
Behind your can of Super T.
What you need, what you got
your lifeline - that you forgot.
What you need, what you got
one more line - one more rock.
Baby I remember when you couldn't be found.
The streets are dark Mid 8
the streets are cold
inside the park
where things get sold,
What you need, what you got
your lifeline - that you forgot.
What you need, what you got
one more line - one more rock.
Baby I remember when you couldn't be found.
Then the blade comes down
then you're not around.
Then the blade comes down
then you're not around.
Nihilism is a fact of life
Faces scratched off photographs, disowned and all- betrayed.
Residue of another you, of time spent in the shade.
Give me all your misdirections, give me adrenalin.
Give me demonstrations of the deepest, darkest things.
You say you like it -
You know you got no love for me.
You got control of me.
You keep ignoring me.
You gotta talk to me.
You got a hold on me.
People hurt each other, and people hurt themselves,
who's gonna do the dirty work, who's gonna tell her friends.
When you put those lies around I want you to feel real pain,
Who's gonna break the silence code, who's gonna name the names.
You say you like it -
You know you got no love for me.
You got control of me.
You keep ignoring me.
You gotta talk to me.
You got a hold on me.
Self inflicted, you gotta admit it.
Broken stitches - pushed the limit.
Now I Feel Good (all the time)
1 2 3 4, 5 6 7 8.
I don't want to listen to another dumb expression.
I don't want to wind up in another drinking session.
I don't want excuses
I don't want to slap your back.
I don't want to know, I don't want to know.
Now I feel good, now I feel good
now I feel good all the time.
Now I feel good, now I feel good
now I feel good all the time.
Yeah yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah all the time.
I don't want to know about sleazy indiscretion.
I don't want to know about stupid male aggression.
Never fuck it up like that, or stab each other in the back.
I don't want to know, I don't want to know.
Now I feel good, now I feel good
now I feel good all the time.
Now I feel good, now I feel good
now I feel good all the time.
Yeah yeah yeah,
Yeah yeah yeah.
Yeah yeah all the time.
Now I feel good
Now I feel good
Now I feel good
Now I feel good
Real People
Thin as ice, we break at night
into fragments - so polite
you and me could never be
real people
Just a face on the database,
another user on the back-up tape.
You and me could never be
real people.
And our debts aren't paid,
and the climate fails
Its fun to burn
bad things don't change.
This disaster is all I've seen,
and a failure is all you've been.
You and me could never be
real people.
Bought affects - fake respect,
So contrived, empty inside,
you and me could never be
real people.
And the bells don't chime, or resonate
or sound the call.
When the music plays, the sirens wail
and the curtains drawn.
Temptation ends where the laws begin
and we're always outside looking in.
Always looking in.
We've got a part in the show tonight, playing
ourselves - got to get it right,
we've got to get it right.
Cut some slack for your mistakes,
you tied the knots you can't break.
Follow the time line, synced to the bass line,
cell phone screaming,
body and soul, body and soul.
Black Eyeliner No.1
You, you say you like it like this
I say I like it like it is.
But you just moan and groan.
No matter what I do, can't see no reason why
you like to wallow in misery and pain.
Just save it for a rainy fucking day.
Sucker.
'cause I don't want no - preacher man,
and I don't want no - substitute,
'cause all I want is my say.
And all you got is - oh oh no.
I'm wasting killing time,
I can't take it no more.
I guess I've got to spell it out.
Its over BA-BE.
No more, no more.
And all you got is no - way.
Open-ended
Drifting eyes and a faraway stare, white raincoat and long blonde hair,
She takes a drink lights a cigarette, she knows the time, its time to forget.
She's got to meet with the ministry man, she takes his money, he takes her hand.
Weekend, they let you off the hook again.
Weekend, double hit, double time.
Weekend, I'm waiting for you again,
Weekend, do it straight and you unwind.
White car reclining seats, waiting in the quiet backstreets.
See the rain fill the darkend sky, reflect the lights as you pass by.
Take the pictures that you can sell, breathe some life into this empty shell.
The Rest Is Just Noise
The party's down the street, if you want to meet
the children of the rich, looking for a fix.
Sounds disintegrate, the kids from the estate
decide that they're gonna, crash it anyway.
Summer burns bright, there's riots in the night
90's music sounds so dated.
She takes off her belt, takes off her shoes
She looks like Kate Moss, but a lot more wasted.
Girls against boys - the rest is just noise,
there's no cheap solution - there's no revolution
Girls against boys - the rest is just noise,
if you dig the dirt, someone must get hurt.
Across the front page, drinking under age,
the cops don't want to know, about a street war.
Out of his mind, he could rob them blind
and every gangster thinks this is hardcore.
Girls against boys - the rest is just noise,
there's no cheap solution - there's no revolution
Girls against boys - the rest is just noise,
if you dig the dirt, someone must get hurt.
Childhood actors and porno stars,
they're burning crystals, crashing stolen cars.
Reality Bugs Me
Reality bugs me
it kicks me around and around
Reality bugs me
kicks me when I'm down.
Down on the pavement, with my low rent friends.
When you fall out, you better make amends.
When you come unstuck, you make your own luck in the end.
Yeah in the end.
Reality bugs me, reality bugs me.
cellular car phone
pay as you play zone.
The freedom to make a choice.
You stole a Rolls Royce.
The social strata is falling on you.
You found the cracks and you're slipping right through.
They found the traces so it seems, in your dreams,
but what are your dreams.
Reality bugs me - but what can I do.
Reality bugs me - it cuts me in two.
Reality bugs me - it brings me down.
Reality bugs me - it brings me down.
Reality bugs me - it brings me down.
Reality bugs me - it brings me down.
Repercussions
Don't tell me you're leaving me, I'll kill that girl I saw you with last week.
Don't tell me you're leaving me, and then pretend that I'm
some kind of freak.
You send out a message, with your words of disdain
time repeating itself, over again.
I'll tell you something, that you ought to know
where this thing takes me - I'm gonna go.
Don't presume to tell me that you think there's something missing from my life.
You might not like my reaction, baby you don't have to tell me twice.
Don't try and tell me, how rejection feels
I've been down this road, I know the deal.
When I lose something, it gets inside
this pain is real, and you know that you can't hide.
You think its over, but we can disagree.
You think its over, but you aint talked to me.
Don't try to put me down.
Don't try to leave this town.
I'll see you hanging 'round.
Something about you
I cant sleep, I cant breathe
I play it down, but I cant leave.
I cant concede that you're a threat,
I'm not prepared, to quit you yet.
There's something about you......
There's something about you......
There's something about you...... That winds me up.
You got me, you stop me, from believing.
You contradict and start to fight
I cant admit that I'm not right.
self deceit - fills my mouth,
Its not cool, I spit it out.
There's something about you.....
There's something about you......
There's something about you...... That winds me up.
You got me, you stop me, from believing.
Don't think you can push me baby and just walk away.
Call me or text me, maybe,
if there's something to say.
You talk in rhymes,that come unstuck,
I just want, to shut you up.
Speed Trap
Standing in the lights of the burning wheel
dissipation that you feel.
Introverted so withdrawn
changing shape and form.
Burned yourself and all your friends
giving head to a Nikon lens.
Amphetamine crystal sulphate jive
talking suicide.
screaming screaming - words abuse
conversation - its just no use
Don't talk down, talk down to me
Don't talk down, talk down to me
Hold your tongue and make believe
in the shadow they can still see you
Black and white film on a silver screen,
just a new york queen.
Out of depth in a depth of field,
retro shades platform heels.
You don't sleep and you stay so thin
like your heroine.
The mirror slips and the powder stains,
no smoke without the flame.
screaming screaming - words abuse
conversation - its just no use
Don't talk down, talk down to me
Don't talk down, talk down to me
Hold your tongue and make believe
in the shadow they can still see you
Sulphate
A teenage mask, a teenage screen
down and dirty in that scene.
Its not ethical, its not clean
you don't sleep and you don't dream.
Sulphate. No constraints - these are the laws that
you dictate.
Sulphate. Its what you take, watch your friends
disintegrate.
Now you're looking, now you're searching
do you know what you're looking for.
Now you're searching, when you find it,
when you find it , never let it go.
You talk too much, its no surprise
reality can't keep up with those lies.
Sometimes love can turn into hate,
if you've stayed up for three days straight.
Sulphate - then you come down
Sulphate - and then you come down.
Underage Demon
You kick the switch a generation burns.
a school of thought reject or learn.
I get stronger as you decline,
I'm coming back to get what's mine.
I get to make one free call.
Or is that another threat to you all?
I was bored just walking home - in the nowhere zone
I was bored when I was born - in the nowhere zone
It don't mean something, until it means something, to you.
The laws of the land or just another ruse.
You better stand back, now you lit the fuse.
Death or dishonour, don't you understand,
they're just words on the back of my hand.
I get to make one free call.
Or is that another threat to you all?
just walking home,
just walking home.
You Got A Rush For Me
You really break me up
Its something I got to disown.
drinking neat from your paper cup,
baby you been living alone.
You talk like amphetamine,
comatose on ketamine,
straight from the horse's mouth
I wouldn't know.
You got a rush for me baby
pure as the driven snow.
My instincts telling me something
now I understand
I couldn't say no, I couldn't say no.
You crawled right into my head space
you said you'd no plans to stay.
You never liked subservience
until you learned to make it pay.
Social experiment
still gotta pay the rent
these type of questions arise
everyday
you can change the places 'round
you can change the names
its a sick confession boy
y'know you can't abstain.
Subtext
Don't fucking care about your new world order
DFC about the broken rules
DFC about your face in the media
DFC about your privileged schools
Give me the power, to read between the lines.
DFC about the license holders
DFC about your stocks and shares
DFC about Sunday writers
DFC about your millionaires,
DFC for abuse of power
DFC for celebrity nights
DFC for your bedroom secrets
DFC when you think you're right
Give me the power, to read between the lines.
Got your cool millions stashed away
for all your rainy days oh yeah.
Minefields
When you see the light
when you feel me bite
you could feel emotion changing,
changing overnight.
For me.
When you read the book
when you take a look
at pages turning your concern
twisting like a hook.
In you.
People get to feelings
they don't really know.
People go to places
they don't want to go.
If you find another reason
pleases don't hesitate to let me know.
You sink so low.
Clinging to the noose
then you cut me loose
searching through the wreckage baby
you could find the truth.
On me.
Drawn to the flame
burned yourself again
sifting through the ashes this time
who should take the blame.
For you.
People get to feelings
they don't really know.
People go to places
they don't want to go.
If you find another reason
pleases don't hesitate to let me know.
You sink so low.
