Airbag
in the next worldwar
in a jackknifed juggernaut
i am born again
in the neon sign scrolling up and down
i am born again
in an interstellar burst i am back to save the universe
in a deep deep sleep of the innocent
i am born again
in a fast german car
i'm amazed that i survived
an airbag saved my life
Paranoid Android
please could you stop the noise i'm trying to get some rest
from all the unborn chickenvoices in my head
huh what's that
when i am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinions that are of no consequence at all
huh what's that
ambition makes you look very ugly
kicking squeeling gucci little piggy
you don't remember
why don't you remember my name
off with his head
off with his head man
why won't he remember my name
i guess he does
raindown raindown come on raindown on me
from a great height
from a great height
raindown raindown come on raindown on me
from a great height
from a great
that's it sir, you're leaving
the crackle of pig skin
the dust and the screaming
the yuppies networking
the panic the vomit
the panic the vomit
god loves his children
god loves his children yeah
Subterranean Homesick
Alien
the breath of the morning i keep forgetting
the smell off the warm summer air
i live in a town where you can't smell a thing
you watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
up above aliens hover
making home movies for the folks back home
of all these weird creatures who lock up their spirits
drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets
they're all up-tight
i wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane
late at night when i'm driving
take me on board their beautiful ship
show me the world as i'd love to see it
i'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me
they'd think that i'd finally lost it completely
i'd show them the stars and the meaning of life
they's shut me away but i'd be alright
i'm just up-tight
Exit Music (for a film)
wake from your dreams
the drying of your tears
today we escape
we escape
pack and get dressed
before your father hears us
before all hell breaks loose
breathe keep breathing
don't lose your nerve
breathe keep breathing
i can't do this alone
sing us a song
a song to keep us warm
there's such a chill such a chill
you can laugh a pineless laugh
we hope your rules and wisdom choke you
now we are one
in everlasting peace
we hope that you choke that you choke
we hope that you choke that you choke
we hope that you choke that you choke
Let Down
transport
motorways and tramlines
starting and then stopping
taking off and landing
the emptiest of feelings
sentimental drivel
linging onto bottles
when it comes it's so so
disapointing
let down and hanging around
crushed like a bug in the ground
let down and hanging around
shell smashed
juices flowing
wings twitch
legs are going
don't get sentimental
it always ends op drivel
one day i am going to grow wings
chemical reaction
hysterical and useless
hysterical and
let down and hanging around
crushed like a bug in the ground
let down and hanging around
you know where you are with
you know where you are with
floor collapses
floating around
bouncing back and one day
you'll know where you are
Karma Police
karma police arrest this man
he talks in maths he buzzes like a fridge
he's like a detuned radio
karma police arrest this girl
her hitler hairdo is making me ill
and we have crashed her party
this is what you get this is what you get
this is what you get when you mess with us
karma police ive given all i can it's not enough
i've given all i can but we're still on the payroll
this is what you get this is what you get
this is what you get when you mess with us
phew
for a minute there i lost myself
i lost myself

at ease
eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)

fond but not in love
charity standing orders
on sundays ring road supermarket

less chance of illness
tyres that grip in the wet (shot of baby trapped in back seat)
a good memory
still cries at a good film
still kisses with saliva
no longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick
that's driven into
frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)
calm
fitter healthier and more productive
a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics
No Surprises
no surprises
a heart that's full up like a landfill
a job that slowly kills you
bruises that won't heal
you look so tired 'n' happy
bring down the government
they don't
they don't speak for us
i'll take a quiet life
a handshake some carbon monoxide
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
silent
silent
this is my final fit
my final bellyache
with no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises please
such a pretty house
such a pretty garden
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises
no alarms and no surprises please
Lucky
i'm on a roll
i'm on a roll this time
i feel my luck could change
kill me sarah
kil me again with love
it's gonna be a glorious day
pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
cause i'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge
the head of state has called for me by name
but i don't have time for him
it's gonna be a glorious day
i feel my luck could change
pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
cause i'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge
The Tourist
it barks at no one else but me
like it's seen a ghost
i guess it's seen the sparks a-flowing
no one else would know
hey man slowdown
slowdown
hey man slowdown
slowdown
someitmes i get overcharged
that's when you see sparks
they ask where the hell i'm going
a thousand feet per second
hey man slowdown
slowdown
hey man slowdown
slowdown
