The Automatic - Not Accepted Anywhere (2006) by The Automatic (보컬) on maniadb.com

Pack up your accents
Pack up your batteries
Now go marching
Back to the factory
A bunch of dresses
Down to the mattress
Car park asphalt tastes good, actually
(x 2)

Is anyone thinking anything at all?
(x 3)
Is anyone thinking anything?

I know I had
Something to say
It lost a meaning and it faded away
(x 2)

Woaaah!

So punk is dead
And this is so new
Your revolution
Cooked up in a boardroom
I like the message
On your t-shirt
I don't know what it means
But the colors really work

Pack up your accents
Pack up your batteries
Now go marching
Back to the factory
A bunch of drugs sent
Down to the mattress
Car park asphalt tastes good, actually

Is anyone thinking anything at all?
(x 3)
Is anyone thinking anything?

I know I had
Something to say
It lost a meaning and it faded away
(x 4)

I know I had
Something to say
It lost a meaning and it faded away

Our ambition got cast aside
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side

But, it's always for the best
And if you're not convinced
Then you'll get left behind
I lost, interest

CHORUS * 2
It doesn't seem like you mean it
I don't believe, that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what you're supposed to be

Let's go see Raoul
Let's make a stand
Let's go see Raoul
For all the ones who
Let's go see Raoul
Used to give a damn
Let's go see Raoul
Working over time

Our ambitions got cast aside
Thrown away when the batteries died
And you'll start to compromise
Just to get to the other side

CHORUS * 2

Let's go see Raoul * 4
In the family place
Let's go see Raoul * 6

CHORUS * 2

Can't fight! There's no escaping the facts
I tried to help but I failed
To solve the problems so much
Of good intentions

I want my wasted hours back
And I want my head to clear
And I have this bad taste in my mouth
From late nights and bad films

Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!

I'm drip fed these pictures
And now my words abandon me
The fraction that still me
Said this lives not all it could be

Now did you catch what I said?


Did you catch what I said?
One by one my ideas fade
And there's nothing left to say

Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!

Can't fight, decide a future
Let's dance, you're so robotic
Times up, refill the meter
This disappointment's so electric
(x2)

Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!

Brain fried tonight through misuse
Through misuse, through misuse
You can't avoid static abuse
Abuse, abuse

Without these pills you're let loose
You're let loose, you're let loose
Stand up, get out, no excuse
No excuse, no excuse

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill?

Confused, mind bruised, it seeps out
It seeps out, it seeps out


Face down, home town looks so grey
Looks so grey, looks so grey

Convexed you bend, twist and shout
Twist and shout, twist and shout
Stand up brush off get moving
Get moving, get moving

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
(x4)

Face down, home town, face down, home town
Face down, home town, it looks so grey
(x4)

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
(x4)

Give me a reason
Not to keep sleeping
When I'm awake I feel like I am dreaming
The world is shrinking
Every street's the same thing
I can reach so far
But there are people disappearing

How can I pretend
To know my own mind
The more questions I ask
The more I find
I'm lost at home
Out of time
The coins I've flipped land on their side

I'm holding my breath at your end of town
I'm just passing by not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Then I think that I would be fine

Slowly sinking
Still thinking
There must be something I am missing
The street light, my sunlight
I won't sleep, I'm up all night

Can't stop, til I
Have been used up
If I was not lost for words
Then I'd have nothing to describe

I'm holding my breath at your end of town
I'm just passing by not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Then I think that I would be fine

I'm holding my breath at your end of town
I'm just passing by not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment

One place for all this distance
We've got so displaced
The life that you've always wanted
A thousand miles away
Like nomads, like an architect
Like moving in one place
We can live forever
We can fade away

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

Now I have your attention
It's just a matter of time
'Til you question what I'm saying
Make me justify
Every word in every line
That does not seem to fit
But the meaning's not so important
As long as you mean it

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

The life that
I wanted
Is frozen
In motion
(x 2)

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else (x 2)

The things that run in my blood
I just gave up so fast
I've got nothing left to give
secrets don't keep themselves
I'm sick of hiding the answer from the question here
what did I find in my head
and no conviction
and a fire that had gone out
that lit up when the radio signal went out

Chorus

Lets look back,
I cant remember when,
The last time anything I said, meant anything,
But things change, things change, things change
Just as I slipped into the gaps between reception bars and I found myself one
day

Chorus

Don't look back,
And set traps,
For myself to keep me in check,

Don't back track,
Realise that,
The best defence is attack.
