Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it’s beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

the mongrel cat came home
holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
to all his new found friends
he said “i been where i liked
i slept with who i liked
she ate me up for breakfast
and screwed me in a vice
and now i don’t know why
i feel so tongue-tied”
i sat in the cupboard
and wrote it down in neat
they were cheering and waving
cheering and waving
twitching and salivating like with myxomatosis
but it got edited fucked up
strangled, beaten up
used as a photo in Time magazine
buried in a burning black hole in Devon
“i don’t know why
i feel so tongue-tied
don’t know why
i feel so skinned alive.”
My thoughts are misguided and a little naive
I twitch and i salivate like with myxomatosis
you should put me in a home or you should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
“now no one likes a smart arse but we all like stars”
that wasn’t my intention, I did it for a reason
it must have got mixed up
strangled, beaten up
i got myxomatosis
i got myxomatosis
“i don’t know why
i feel so tongue-tied”
I’m stuck in the tardis
trapped in hyperspace
one minute snake charming
the next in a motorcade
all the right moves and
earn the right percent
watch me dance like a puppet
you can almost see the strings
give me an answer
give me a sign
i’ve been climbing up this ladder
i’ve been wasting my time
so long, so long
so long, so long
up on the ladder
no time to escape
up on the ladder
away for fucking sake
up on the ladder
try to call out your name
up on the ladder
you’re all the fucking same
oh, you let the people down
you let the people down
you let the people down
Weird Fishes
In the deepest ocean
The bottom of the sea
Your eyes
They turn me
Why should I stay here?
Why should I stay?
I’d be crazy not to follow
Follow where you lead
Your eyes
They turn me
Turn me on to phantoms
I follow to the edge of the earth
And fall off
Everybody leaves
If they get the chance
And this is my chance
I get eaten by the worms
Weird fishes
Get picked over by the worms
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
Weird fishes
I’ll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
I’ll hit the bottom
Hit the bottom and escape
Escape
Wish away the nightmare
You got the light you can feel it on your back
a light, you can feel it on your back
Your jigsaw falling into place
Be constructive
Bear witness
We can use
Be constructive
Fake Plastic Trees
A green plastic watering can
For a fake chinese rubber plant
In the fake plastic earth
That she bought from a rubber man
In a town full of rubber plans
To get rid of itself
It wears her out, it wears her out
It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man
A cracked polystyrene man
Who just crumbles and burns
He used to do surgery
On girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins
And it wears him out, it wears him out
It wears him out, it wears him out
She looks like the real thing
She tastes like the real thing
My fake plastic love
But I can’t help the feeling
I could blow through the ceiling
If I just turn and run
And it wears me out, it wears me out
It wears me out, it wears me out
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time

Street Spirit (Fade Out)
Rows of houses all bearing down on me
I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out
This machine will not communicate
These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again
Cracked eggs, dead birds
Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see it’s beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we’ll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again
Immerse your soul in love
Immerse your soul in love.

Spinning Plates
While you make pretty speeches,
I’m being cut to shreds.
You feed me to the lions,
a delicate balance
When this just feels like spinning plates.
I’m living in cloud cuckoo land.
And this just feels like spinning plates
Our bodies floating down the muddy river.
~Thom Yorke
That there
That’s not me
I go
Where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here
I’m not here
storm clouds
and blown speakers….
