REALITY KILLED THE VIDEO STAR: 9 novembre 2009

MORNING SUN

How do you rate the morning sun
After a long and sleepless night
How many stars would you give to the moon
Do you see those stars from where you are
Shine on the lost and loneliest
The ones who can’t get over it

And you always wanted more than life
But now you don’t have the appetite
In a message to the troubadour
The world don’t love you anymore
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun

Stuck inside the rainbow years
And you could happen to me
‘Cause I’ve been close to where you are
I drove to places you have seen
It all seems so familiar
Like they’d been sent to kill ya

It doesn’t take an astronaut
To float into space is just a thought
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Tell me how do you rate the morning sun

And the village drunk
Sadly passed away
It was a shame
I never knew his name
I wonder if he sat there every morning
And watched the sun rise

How do you rate the morning sun
It was just too heavy for me
And all I wanted was the world
If you are the starlet in the sun
Don’t go wasting your time
‘Cause there is no finish line

And you don’t see anything
Not even love not anything
The night could take the man from you
A sense of wonder overdue
The morning brings a mystery
The evening makes it history
Who am I to rate the morning sun

BODIES

God gave me the sunshine, then showed me my lifeline
I was told it was all mine, then I got laid on the layline
What a day, what a day, and your Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

UK and entropy, I feel like its fuckin me
Wanna feed off the energy, love living like a deity
What a day, one day, and your Jesus really died for me
I guess Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery, and that’s the way it’s gonna be

All we’ve ever wanted is to look good naked hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection from my reflection, I want perfection

Praying for the rapture, cause it’s stranger getting stranger
And everything’s contagious it’s the modern middle ages
All day every day and if Jesus really died for me
Then Jesus really tried for me

Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery, and that’s the way it’s gonna be

All we’ve ever wanted is to look good naked hope that someone can take it
God save me rejection from my reflection, I want perfection

Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery,
Bodies in the bodhi tree, Bodies making chemistry
Bodies on my family, Bodies in the way of me
Bodies in the cemetery, and that’s the way it’s gonna be

All we’ve ever wanted is to look good naked hope that someone can take it
So God save me rejection from my reflection, I want perfection

Jesus didn’t die for you, what do you want?
(I want perfection)
Jesus didn’t die for you, what are you on?

YOU KNOW ME

If a man can be his own fantasy then to only breed in captivity is pointless
I’ve been doing what I like, when I like, how I like, it’s joyless

Only you know me

What a waste of war this peace
Baby steps and two more sleeps
Till I get to say sorry
I get hysterical historicals of love it’s just chemicals
Give us something to stop me

Only you know me

Since you went away my heart breaks every day
And you don’t know ‘cause you’re not there
You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away

Only you know me

I’m doing fine and the sun often shines
What are you thinking?
I done bruised up my mind with this Thunderbird wine
Baby I’m drinking

Only you know me

Since you went away my heart breaks every day
And you don’t know ‘cause you’re not there
You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
Only you know me
Only you know me

Since you went away my heart breaks every day
And you don’t know ‘cause you’re not there
You simply found the words to make all modern feelings fade away
Only you know me
Only you know me

All the way

Waiting for you, all my life

BLASPHEMY

The Egyptians built their pyramids
The Romans did what they did
Now everything’s come down to this
It’s just you and I our kid
We could send a million to the moon
But why can’t I get on with you
With cellophane around my mouth
Stops the anger seeping out

Our deaf and dumb dinners
Gravy in the mud
No singles just fillers
Sometimes I wish I could
But

I can’t behave
I know it’s not the heathen in me
It’s just that I’ve been bleeding lately
Internally
Don’t turn to me
bite your tongue, the torrid weapon
You could learn a useful lesson

What’s so great about the great depression?
Was it a blast for you?
‘Cause it’s blasphemy

Words cut like a knife through Vaseline
You can’t really mean, what you mean
When you say what you say
Tourettes make them come out that way

Wish I was here well I wish you weren’t
Your gift of anger’s better burnt
If nothing’s said and nothing’s learnt
I thought I wasn’t but I’m really hurting

Our deaf and dumb dinners
There’s gravy in the mud
And

I can’t behave
No it’s not the heathen in me
It’s just that I’ve been bleeding lately
Internally
Don’t turn to me
And I’ll bide my tongue, the torrid weapon
I could learn a useful lesson

What’s so great about the great depression?
Was it a blast for you?
Blasphemy
Our great adventure
Christmas in the snow
Senile dementia maybe
What a way to go

I can’t behave
I know it’s not the heathen in me
It’s just that I’ve been bleeding lately
Internally, so turn to me
But bite your tongue, your torrid weapon
We could learn a useful lesson

Ain’t it great this great depression
It’s not a blast for me,
It’s blasphemy

DO YOU MIND

This is a song full of metaphors
All I be needing is tobacco and draw
Better let me in to your country though
Then I can show you what you’re missing me for
I’m a night kind of animal
Got a receiver what you testing me for
I was scared so I ate ‘em all
They tasted good but they make me look old

And ooh, you teach like a toothache,
I’m not here for my sake, how long will this mickey take
And ooh, there’s heavy entertainment, out here on the pavement
The men about you gotta get away

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?

I’ll think you’re famous if that’s what ya want
But you can pick your own pulpit, you must fill your own fonts
Bring some wine and some Sensodyne
Then you can be my favourite dodo
Anyone fancy Monaco
I’m a placebo they’re chasing me fool
Don’t be scared you could eat ‘em all
They taste good but they make you look old

Ooh, you sick little cup cake,
You could be a keepsake, you jukebox to generate
And ooh, I’m heavy entertainment, in need of containment
I’m mad about you, gotta get away

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?

Anyone fancy Monaco?

Go get a portable recliner brain
Must take a photo for sure
Got our problems and a real long name
And she gets high on rollin’ roll-ups

Ooh, you teach like a toothache,
I’m not here for my sake, how long will this mickey take
And ooh, there’s heavy entertainment, out here on the pavement
The men about you gotta get away

Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?
Do, ooh ooh, ooh, ooh ya mind, if I, II, I, I, II, I touch ya?

LAST DAYS OF DISCO

Stand by me
I’ve been stood by you for ages
Stay calm and carry on
Maybe nothing’s wrong

Is it the comfort of, dis-information or
Is it the freedom that you fear
Said I’m the angel of liberation, love
For a second I believe her

I’m all you’ll hear, ahhhhh
While you’re here, ahhhhh

Don’t call it a comeback
Look what I invented here
I thought it was easy
They came and took it away from us
The last days of disco

All raved out
Bitter is the pill of devotion
Read between the noise
All you disco boys

The fascination of, a boy and girl in love
For a second I can see her
In the mirrorball, the human animal
I’m the creature that I fear
I’m all you’ll hear, ahhhhh
While you’re here, ahhhhh

Don’t call it a comeback
Look what I invented here
I thought it was easy
They came and took it away from us
The last days of disco
The last days of disco
The last days of disco

I’m all you’ll hear, ahhhhh
While you’re here, ahhhhh

Don’t call it a comeback
We’ll hold an event in here
This space is beautiful
I’ll decide when it is over
So don’t call it a comeback
Look what I invented here
I thought it was easy
They came and took it away from us
The last days of disco
The last days of disco
The last days of disco
The last days of disco
The last days of disco

SOMEWHERE

Somewhere there’s a place where you can go
Someplace you can lay your heavy head down
Everybody needs somewhere to go
We don’t get high to get a comedown

You take your chance in life
Go out and find a wife
Don’t get stuck in the state I’m in
Someone somewhere is loving you

DECEPTACON

Microwave yourself today
Save you for a rainy day
Hello Deceptacon
This will not be going away

From all of us there
To all over here
We wish you all of the best
All of the year
She said
Well he’s never been quite right
And I know
We’ll be stepping on eggshells tonight

And all over Britain, we wait for permission
To form another queue
We stand in position, though somebody’s missin’
And that somebody’s you
But what can I do?

I love you but I don’t like you right now
Was all she had to say
Hello Deceptacon
I will not be going away

From all of us here
To all over there
We wish you all of the best
All of the year
She said
Only you can make it right
But I’ve stopped
Stepping on eggshells tonight

And all over Britain, we wait for permission
To form another queue
We stand in position, though somebody’s missin’
And that somebody’s you
But what can I do

Send my best to all concerned
I know I’ve been a gracious host
Goodbye Deceptacon

Who are you?
Who are you?
Who are you?
And what are you to me?

What can I do for you?
What can you do for me?

And what are you to me?

STARSTRUCK

You laugh at us we’re different
And we laugh ‘cause you’re all the same
By the look on your face baby
We’ve been enjoying ourselves again

I know that you cry
I know why you try so hard

Ready steady go, everybody famous
Everyone you know, why’d it take you ages
I don’t have to listen read love like you
I’ve got no problem with the physical minimal real life
Living in hysterica for everybody’s betterment
Isn’t it a miracle, everybody’s starstruck

I guess the odds are very good
But the goods are very odd
And even though I talk with the Devil
I only made the deal with God

I am alarmist
Knock one off the wrist, so hard
Ready steady go, everybody famous
Everyone you know, why’d it take you ages

I don’t have to listen read love like you
I’ve got no problem with the physical minimal real life
Living in hysterica for everybody’s betterment
Isn’t it a miracle, everybody’s starstruck

You want to stop, but you can’t, can you?
I was lovely on the way up, on the way up

Ready steady go, everybody famous
Everyone you know, why’d it take you ages

I don’t have to listen read love like you
I’ve got no problem with the physical minimal real life
Living in hysterica for everybody’s betterment
Isn’t it a miracle, everybody’s starstruck

Ready steady go

I don’t have to listen read love like you
I’ve got no problem with the physical minimal real life
Living in hysterica for everybody’s betterment
Isn’t it a miracle, everybody’s starstruck

Ready steady go

DIFFICULT FOR WEIRDOS

We’re the futurists in the bistro
Where the music is for weirdos
We like it different, we like it strange
In our own way, we haven’t changed
I got my eyes made up at the bus stop
By my girlfriend, and you know what
She likes me different, she likes me strange
In her own way, she’s just the same

Psycho evolution your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town

Every Saturday, at the plaza
Guess the gender, unless you’d rather
He is a lesbian, but that’s OK
She is the centre of attention for another day
In the universe, we are magenta
You can join us if you enter
Because you’re different and you are strange
In your own way you’re just the same

Psycho evolution, your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town

Time isn’t lost where devotion is
I never wasted a life
Space is the place where the social is
Far from the safe and the norm

In the offstream they call it cabaret, but they’ll say that, won’t they?
I want it different, I like it strange
In my own way I haven’t changed
It’s insulting to be mislead by the hairdo of the godhead
They show irreverence, but that’s OK
We are the centre of the universe anyway

Psycho evolution, your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town
Psycho evolution, your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town
Psycho evolution, your pollution makes it difficult for weirdos
Just another humanoid reaction to the voices in this town

SUPERBLIND

Sleep sleep feel the deep get away from the death of it all
Don’t you wanna see what you could have won
Bittersweet your defeat baby I’m much sicker than you
All you are is colours and your colours run

Isn’t it genius that you can’t deny
You just keep on doing harm
Could only see the sense in being superblind
And just keep on keeping on

I can’t help thinkin’ ‘bout me
Put a thought in for me
I’m the genius behind me
Maybe I shouldn’t have said it
And here in the next century
What will they think when they think about me

Here it is, what a lie say a prayer for the way it should be
We are people that don’t believe
Wish your mother wouldn’t bother won’t she just stay out of your mind
Why should they stay when you make them leave

Isn’t it genius that you can’t deny
You just keep on doing harm
Could only see the sense in being superblind
And just keep on keeping on

I can’t help thinkin’ ‘bout me
Put a thought in for me
I’m the genius behind me
Maybe I shouldn’t have said it
And here’s to the next century
What will they think when they think about me
I can’t help thinkin’ ‘bout me
Won’t you put a prayer in for me
You can talk and think about me

It’s like these rocks know when we’re dancing
We can pray our way out of this
You’re like a new wave old romantic
Try to break our heart but get stuck on it

When you’re superblind keep you out of mind
‘Cause we all know and we don’t care.

WON’T DO THAT

In this bag of stuff I brought to you
You didn’t mind sorting it through
You would never be the trouble and strife
If I made you my Swiss army wife
I could give this up, I could walk away
It doesn’t fill me up, it didn’t anyway

I won’t do that to you, won’t do that to you,
Do that to you, won’t do that to you

I don’t mind when the boys look at you
If I was them I’d be doin’ it too
I mean more to you than handbags and shoes
I’m so sorry there’s been a few
I don’t trust too much, I don’t love enough
But I’m giving up, all this giving up

I won’t do that to you, won’t do that to you,
Do that to you, won’t do that to you

Suddenly I’m not the jealous guy
Another sign that we’re doing it right
I could give this up, I could walk away
Cause you fill me up, each and every day

I promise that I won’t do that to you, won’t do that to you,
Do that to you, won’t do that to you
Won’t do that to you, won’t do that to you,
Do that to you, won’t do that to you
I won’t do that to you, won’t do that to you,
Do that to you, wont do that to you
Won’t do that to you, won’t do that to you,
Do that to you, won’t do that to you
