Lyrics:
Medicine
Hit me hit me hit me I?m already on the ground / You're asleep in the next room and I?m banging to be found / I cannot feel my body and I?m floating then I?m drowned / And nothing I have taken keeps it down / It?s a ride / Help me help me help me it?s a bitter hit to take / When I?m shaking once again this is too long to be awake / With the ignorance of new year / You could save me for your sake / Because I?m falling through the plans that we made / It?s a ride / My medicine / Happy happy happy you can lie behind the eyes / Without telling those around you that you?ve built your own disguise / Now time can only end it when the remedy?s not found / Just wrap it up and never take it out / It?s alright
Red Receiver
Phone phone the red receiver at the end of the bed it keeps getting clearer / Rings run running around me / Untying the ribbons for the good of the family / And your dear friends gathered together / You were looking for trouble now your losing your temper / Cold feet in London /Useless confetti / No groom / No first kiss / No diamonds for the girl / Don?t look in the side of the wardrobe / The white dress hangs tall as a tightrope / Clothes piled high in a suitcase / Better get moving fast for it?s too late / And you dear friends gathered in darkness / Formed a search and followed their partners / So phone phone the red receiver at the end of the bed but no one will be here
Hunt
One year in five we?ll stay alive it?s a reason to behold / When it?s just another fear to fry within this sacred fold / I am innocent / The sweat pours in like an ancient grin and laughs like a suffering one / It?s colder now as my mouth runs out / How many times are we taken over? / I am innocent / There?s one of us in the middle and there?s two now on the end / Do you have the guts to falsify as you stand up on the ledge? / You are innocent / Sentencing can?t save me and I shuffle to the night / The curtains closed / My substance old / I am innocent
Dance Me In
Dance me in / Show me the first part / I?ll pay close detail / To every note in every chart / An escaped voice speaks from the corner of the room / It?s avoiding the plans / Sneaking past the narrow truth / Everyone else follows through / You speak for all men / The hopeless telling of sorries cling to your lungs / In the print of tomorrow what reminds me of them does not remind me of yours / Remind me of the young / Dance me in / Just dance me in / Lose on both sides until there are two / I?m sat at the last table / My talk wearing thin / I?ll wait for answers / I?ll wait for answers / Just dance me in
Choked
Taking your time until they swallowed every line / Castrating everyone / Now there's bodies on the run / We?re waiting we?re waiting / You?re burying my good name / Keep burying my name /Tight lips have cracked / Mouthing behind their backs / The forks down the throat of them all til we choked / And now we?re all sworn in by the shadows whisperings / Markings on the door / Then we drop onto the floor / We?re waiting we?re waiting / You?re burying my good name / Keep burying my name
Taste The Last Girl
Too much you need / Too much you need / He?s a genuine boy with a guilty smile / Hands to pull you forward faster / You and your game is not the answer / Not on your own / Had to fool you?re forward faster / You?re smashing heads and breaking ladders / All on your own / Your further on / But you can taste the last girl / She?s the servant to the master / Oh now your on your own /Outrun yourself to find the next / You?ll take what?s coming / Catch your own death / All on your own / Too much you need / Too much is greed / He?s a genuine boy with a guilty smile
Monsters
Where did you come from? / What have we started? / Maybe I call you a liar / Held in command /Taken by hand / Mistaking the words on the wire / Take me down again / Pull me down again /Take me down and then a a a a a / Don?t go and ask your sick little questions / I can?t find the cure for desire / If this continues / I?m saving myself / By putting my hands in the fire / What?s natural and real / Like monsters we / Like banshees / That?s what we?ve become / There?s half a discussion and then we ask / What kind of love we have / You know where the door is / Can?t give you myself / Compassions just a word in a dictionary on your shelf / Monogamy to you it seems is just black and blue / All the best psychotic lovers ain?t got nothing on you
Rama Lama
On a blue antique night / In early October / His wavy brown hair / Stuck wet to his shoulder / And its click, click, click / Go the heels of his feet / Listen / How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited / The milk?s in a pile by the door / Her series is playing on terrestrial T.V. the neighbours they don?t even know / And its click, click, click / Go the heels of his feet / Listen / Did you hang her out to dry? / The meal that she was going to eat for her dinner / Is left on a plate by the stove / While there?s unopened bills and letters and junk mail / All strewn on the mat by the door / And its click, click click / Go the heels of his feet / Listen / Did you hang her out to dry? / Rama lama lama / Shake, shake, shake, shake / How long has it been since the boyfriend has visited / The papers are filling the close / While she?s face down on porcelain / An inchful of bathwater / The neighbours they don?t even know or care / And its drip, drip, drip / Goes the tap on her ankles / Listen / Did you hang her out to dry? / Rama lama lama / Shake, shake, shake, shake
Royally Used
She said it?s all you?ll ever need to be disheartened / Go over the word / Repeat / We?ll get this started / I?d heard people say he was a good man in his day / All I can say / All I concede / The smile disappeared into his straight face / You made the first move / When I was near you we turned wrong to right / And now that I can hear / It all has past / I thank myself for seeing it out / The next will last / You made the first move / When I was near you / We turned wrong to right
Gone
Well you can love this feeling and never feel alive / In a hopeless silence that falls between our eyes / It?s not just tonight / It?s not just tonight / When we sat and waited for words we can?t deny / Go / Gone / And can you be clear to what you adhere to? / Find a false witness in somebody near you / One of us is right / None of this is right / I?ll cut you out of every photograph within an inch of your life / Go / Gone / You chained me down by these arms of affection / I tried to escape and I?m trying to follow some direction / See the end in sight / See the end in sight / Well I?ve crossed / I?ve walked / I?m stepping over / Nothing left is mine / Go /Gone
