Don't Get Me Started
02:00
|
|||
Don't even get me started on that
you might never get me to stop
don't get me started on that
oh boy, you'd better not
we are so underground
that it's insane
no one listens to us
no one knows our name
don't even say that to me
you know that just pisses me off
I'm looking through windows, opening doors
and now I just need to stop
we are so, underground
that it's just mad
gonna dig down deeper
than we ever have

Entrophy Cat
01:05
|
|||
Eye, I, am entropy cat
Eye, I'm waiting for, the collapse
we all are expecting that.
disarray, there in my soul.
I'm the daughter of rock and roll

No Hands Just Beat
02:41
|
|||
Gather round, my cats and kittens
this is going to blow your mittens
it's another no thing that sounds fine
nine still doesn't work for an outside line
No hands, just the beat
and your two left feet
no hands, just the groove
and you hardly move
No hands, just the beat
and your two left feet
No hands, no hands
You got no hands, rolls with the roll
Tap your feet and take control
Dancing wild in a madman's dream
You are heard but never seen
No hands, just the beat
and your two left feet
no hands, just the groove
and you hardly move
No hands, just the beat
and your two left feet
No hands, no hands
No need for hands to play no thing
got magic fingers, I got magic everything
if you had just a single wish
I'm in this circle, you can't touch this
I come alive on an empty floor
plasmatics playing, who could ask for more
I got no hands, but I'm holding you
you can't touch and nothing you can do
No hands, just the beat
and your two left feet
no hands, just the groove
and you hardly move
No hands, just the beat
and your two left feet
No hands, no hands

Yes Leeds NO YORK
03:09
|
|||
Its a no thing its a no thing
Its a no
I tried to play that game
Where you say yes to everthing
It's fun to begin with but here's the rub
You can only say yes to things you truly love
Yes Leeds, you gave us so many bands
Some with many and some fewer fans
No york, probably not so many in the city
But you only need us
Because we is so pretty
It's a no thing
It's a no thing
It's a no
Why put yourself under any duress
Say no, no, no, no, no, no, yes
The path you work upon
Less straight and not so narrow
when using mouthwash
You spit and never swallow
And when you get asked the question
That you can never say yes to
Just remember to say it loud
NO
It's a no thing
It's a no thing
It's a no

Life's a twisted masquerade
Where truth dissolves, and lies cascade
Behind the masks, we all parade
In this world of shadows, hopes betray
Everything happens when you don't
Illusions dance, reality won't
Caught in a web that constantly taunts
Welcome to the carnival of deception
Everything happens when you don't
Everything happens when you don't
Tangled webs of deceit unfold
In a realm where secrets are sold
Lured to the abyss, in darkness we're swallowed
Sucked into a vortex of lies that's hollowed
and then you spit
Everything happens when you don't
Illusions dance, reality won't
Caught in a web that constantly taunts
Welcome to the carnival of deception
Everything happens when you don't
Everything happens when you don't
In this twisted funhouse of despair
Lost souls wander, unaware
Their dreams shattered, beyond repair
Haunted by the whispers that fill the air
In this maze of deceit, we roam
Where truth is buried, buried in stone
Beneath the surface, the real is unknown
where hearts are overthrown
Everything happens when you don't

I wanna go out
and yet I wanna stay in
I wanna do everything
and yet still do nothing
I was dancing to some beat
when this squirrel stole my nuts
I lost the rhythm, I lost the beat
some gorilla dancing on his two left feet
and now I am conflicted
can't decide what to do
I want to stay in and also
go out with you
So maybe I am out and in at the same time
I see linier as a continuous straight line
and the lines on my hands say it's time to go
but I'm not even there
I'm a total no show
I wanna go out
and yet I wanna stay in
I wanna do everything
and yet still do nothing
I am no party animal
I'm a Party Animal
I am no party animal
I'm a Party Animal
Am I a part of an animal?

Fabric of Time
02:33
|
|||
Time doesn't hold us
We pass through life
like the eye of a needle
Tiny grains of sand
Nothing we do now
Will ever stand
Time is your friend
And ultimately your enemy
Something you can't bend
For a moment
We touch hands
And suddenly time seems to stand
Still...
But it's only an illusion and soon it will seem like yesterday but you will be years from now. And you realise you have fallen through the slit in the fabric of time.
a Slit
in the fabric of time
it's nine and nine and nine and nine
well that is just a chalked line
it's mearly a slit
in the fabric of time

Bouncing in the Red
03:16
|
|||
I look at my fingernails
I painted them for you
they look quite neat though
they match my toes too
I thought I was a beauty
I thought I was a brain
You say those words, and repeat them so
and soon it all sounds the same
I am bouncing, in the red
I am jumping, in the red
and all I'm thinking about
is my bed
I click my fingers and clap my hands
I bend at the hip and do hand stands
I am quite pretty and my nose is cute
when you start talking I have to hit the mute
I am bouncing, in the red
I am jumping, in the red
and all I'm thinking about
is my bed and you
I wish I was bouncing in my bed
you and me and me and head
rolling around, jumping in the red
I should be sleeping but have fun instead
on my bed
jumping, jumping in the red
my legs look longer in this skirt
I am a load of real hurt
that's ok.
It's my fault for looking like this and being attractive to everyone
Don't worry, we can try again.

Listen to the Road
02:40
|
|||
They say you are a traveller
They say that, like, it's a bad thing
You're a traveller
You like to move
I totally get that
listen to the road
I can hear it talking to you
I listen to the road
I can't hear anything
I can't hear it
You have an arresting face
You like to move from place to place
Out of the cities, town to town
I think that's neat, you're not tied down
listen to the road
I can hear it talking to you
I listen to the road
I can't hear anything
I can't hear it
I find you moving
Why are some, so mean
The way people treat people
It's so obscene
listen to the road
I can hear it talking to you
I listen to the road
I can't hear anything
I can't hear it
They say you are a traveller
They say that
You're a traveller
You like to move
I totally get that

Three Fingers
03:05
|
|||
three fingers
like a girl scout
this one is for archery
in case you don't work it out
door to door
I ain't selling no cookies, no more
door to door and door to door
I have seen enough of your kitchen floor
and your three fingers
your three fingers
your free fingers
go wandering too far
I got this cute top
from the charity shop
with a cool little zip up skirt
damn was too tight wearing it really hurt
couldn't fit even a finger in the waist band
couldn't hardly move in this wasteland
I always promised to do my best
but sometimes you gotta give it a rest
sometimes you have to give it a rest
gotta spread those wings and leave the nest
I was out with the girls
and we were jumping rope
caught my leg, had a doctor's note
no more activity for me today
the fun has gone and no fun is here to stay

So Far Behind The Curve
02:11
|
|||
I sometimes think I'm dead
that's what the voice in my head just Said
I know she's not my friend
doesn't even pretend
she's the voice in my head
that's not my friend
the voice in my head
she's not my friend
I thought I was in front
now I feel a little behind
I don't have the nerve
I'm so far behind the curve

Is it Dirty?
01:48
|
|||
Is it circle?
Is it square?
Is it star?
Or is it just another wavy line?
Is it dirty?
Is it clean?
Is it border line?
Is it obscene?
Is it fresh?
Is it rotten?
Just another face
To be forgotten?
They said it wasnt one thing
You should talk about
Its rather rude and something
You shouldnt go and shout
Is it circle?
Is it square?
Is it star?
Or is it just another wavy line?
Is it dirty?
Is it clean?
Is it border line?
Is it obscene?
Is it dirty?

This concrete life is shit
There's just no end to it
At least that is what we thought
But that's what happens when
Things are cheaply bought
by a bunch of cowboys
worried only by small boats
gonna need a bigger ship now
gonna dig deeper moats
this is the house that RAAC built
it's clearly falling down
this is the house that RAAC built
it's clearly falling down
catch you out when you least expect it
living life in an aero bar
better hope you're not around
this is the house that RAAC built
it's clearly falling down
this is the house that RAAC built
it's clearly falling down

I am a Normal Person
04:10
|
|||
Wash your hands, ten times a day
you know it's never ever, going to wash away
what these hands and eyes have seen
too dirty now to keep it clean
I dreamt I was a better person
That I could do more in this life
But I was living in a worse place
And I awoke from that night
I am a normal person
I am a normal person
I am a normal person
I was born running
From this life to that
Always with eyes forward
Never looking back
I was born running
before I could even walk
I know people say that
and it's all just talk
I was born running
it's a way
a way of coping with it all
today
