The Cooper Temple Clause

Creeping all night in the heat
Getting all hot under the collar and speaking again
Give me the run around
You're never gonna bring me down
Sleeping all night like a leaf
You've got to trust your instincts
Get a good feel for it
They never let you down
You're never gonna get it

Cos you've got to keep the feeling the heat again
Spreading you seed again
Black as an evil sun
Get a feel for it, back on the scene again
Having a sleep around
Slip, shred your fingers and you will find

You've got their name wrong and you find you've caused
Damage

we dare you to mean a single word you say
feel free if you've time to try and change our minds
you might wanna duck before you lose your head
it seems we're the ones who's got the guts to bleed
it's not number one who will come out alive
it's the freak in the corner with his eyes on fire
let's kill music before it kills us all

been training dogs again
to bite your little princess
and making sure they make a scene
running errands all the way
communicate in codes
you've just gotta make the in-roads

holding on - to what you've got
making plans - just to stay alive
doing time - oh you bet you will
i'm doing mine - by the side of the road
making out - cos i'm making good
what it's all about - like i said i would
then you realise - well, look who's laughing now

We take pride in our work
the key's the execution
and, hey that's what we had in mind
but we're not just having fun
i wouldn't wanna be ya
cos we're drawing blood if we see ya

and we're not afraid to use animals
or anything else that'll tear itself a hole
yeah we'll be just like dumb fucking animals
if that's the kind of game you wanna play

hey you
over there
won't you help a stranger
that's a sorry sight my friend
it's not me
to make a fuss
it's just that the water's cold
and i can't feel my legs

help me out
don't let me drown in here
can't you see
i'm gonna die in here

please excuse
that outburst
i'm a little scared
i don't know what came over me
What's wrong
don't close your eyes
i don't want to hurt you
i just need a little help

help me out
don't let me drown in here
can't you see
i'm gonna die in here
swim he says
why do you say these things
one last chance
just get me out of here

as he sits on the moor
with his new found friend
who had shown him the way
to bow out at the end
with a dignity only
a murder can bring
with sweet violation
that versatile thing

please believe me when i say
this is how it has to end
this is easy on us all
well easier than other ways
sleep is all i ask of you
sleep and not to wake again
see this through and leave my friend
tears will come and i will end

while i hope you all miss me
and weep at my grave
i imagine you'll pray some
and give hope to the brave
to the ones who have loved me
and cared for me
and who die when i tell them
i just had to go

please believe me when i say
this is how it has to end
this is easy on us all
well easier than other ways
sleep is all i ask of you
sleep and not to wake again
see this through and leave my friend
tears will come and i will end

You can't overestimate the limits of aggression of an animal created in the image of God himself
You can't allow for subtle defects, there's no time of reflect, there's no time to cover your tracks
It's not a mistake to fear an animal's own limited access, the plan just keeps without his hopes and dreams
Such a cause of satisfaction, such a cause of action, search evaluate and destroy.

I am man, I'm a superstar, I shine so bright, a worldwide success
I said hammer it home, I'm a superstar, a glowing example of a dream come true.
I am a man, I'm a work of art, I'm fashioned in God's own image, I am holy and clean
I am a man, I'm a superstar, I shine so bright, a worldwide success

Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand
Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand

You cant underestimate the feeling of attraction of the animal in question to the marvel of what he's made
You can't escape the sense of pride, he's created a divide between, you'll suffer it to rain on his parade.

Don't even think about it, it's enough to read about it
Force an animal to circle and keep an eye on you should you decide to have a go and try to rattle his cage

I am a man, I'm a gift to the world, I wish I was born as civilised and set free
I am a man, I'm a market tool, the sell of the century of the bargain of a lifetime
Hammer it home, I'm a superstar, a glowing example of a dream come true

Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand
Let me curl myself into a ball before you let me understand and make me realise

I'm havin' a ball just being a man
I'm livin' it up just being a man
It sure as hell rocks just being a man
There's nothin' quite beats just being a man
Like being a man

We loose our way so easily
Call it distraction, but it's not for me
They call it vicious, but we did stand tall
It's not your fault, my timings flawed

We have our friends, few and far between
We keep them close, and treat them mean
We learnt from you, so thank you all
You'll go on winning, please have a ball

The final blow
Some time to rest, beside the ones
We like the best
And who's to know what's round the bend
It can't be far
Cos it never ends
It never ends

It's got me going inside I think it's happening again
I think there's gonna be some action
Cause you got me going inside
Got me where you want me
Sit down and talk to me

Well I just hope you're happy
With your snake skin dead bodies evening all
Well just go go back to your bright lights
You made promises you couldn't keep

Sicking up rag doll more than you know
Just keep your mouth shut you got no mind to blow
You celebrate things you celebrate things forget and me And
Just desecrate everything
Oh you messed it up good yeah this kid's just a joke
Baby can't shoot straight

But you gotta shoot straight
Cause there's so many friends to make
Gotta take blows it's the way that you grow

Baby can't shoot straight
'cause there's so many friends to make
Gotta take blows it's the way that you grow

Don't need to be seen
Just gotta get yourself known

I know you're finding it hard to get your own back
But you were sullen at the weekend
And I was sad until
You were waiting for the half-time getaway
Someone couldn't wait to get their own back
We were dealing at the last-chance table
How does it feels to get your own back?

I know you're finding it hard to keep your head up
But we were trouble after midnight
After a drink or two
I know you're making sense
I guess its for the best
Get it off your chest don't call it all off
We did all we could but things just got away
Nothing left to say but call it all off

Maybe things will change but we will stay the same
Just stay with the pain and hang on in there
Ok, it wasn't perfect but how it shone
Now that its gone its left a hole there

This movie would've killed us,
It would've made a mess,
I'd have lit the fires but i'd have pulled you out,
Take a shot from every angle,
I'd have shot you down,
I'd have made you look f~~king beautiful.

Don't think cos you can't see me that i'm not watching
He got leather
He got car
Well me got channels on CCTV

This movie would've killed us
We'd have cut a deal
I'd have set the traps but i'd have pulled you out

Lend a hand make all the right moves
I'd have helped you out
I'd have made it perfect just for you

Don't think cos you can't see me that i'm not watching
He got leather
He got car
Well me got channels on CCTV

This movie would've killed us
we'd have made a hit
but now its turned to shit and it's because of you
But hey, you didn't want to make it
Instead you made it with him
Guess I just didn't make the final cut

Don't think cos you can't see me that i'm not watching
He got leather
He got car
Well me got channels on CCTV

Yeah this movie's gonna kill me
But it'll kill you first
We could've made it you but oh, it's just too late now
I'd have made us a killer movie
I'd have made us a killer movie
I'd have made us a killer movie
I'd have made us a killer movie

You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it

It's just a state of mind it's just a state of mind
And mine is a state of incomprehension
A lack of meaning a lack of attention

It's just a waste of time it just a waste of time
‘Cos time is running out and I worry about you
I've got a feeling I'm hopeless around you

You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it

It's just a state of mind it's just a state of mind
And mine is a state of incomprehension
A lack of meaning a lack of attention

It's just a waste of time it just a waste of time
‘Cos time is running out and I worry about you
I've got a feeling I'm hopeless around you

It's so uncharacteristic of you
To let me get close to the mystery of you
It's all a misunderstanding you see

I never mean to let anyone to get close to me
It can't have been so easy on you
To get to grips with an idea, an idea

It's so uncharacteristic of you
To let me get close to the mystery of you

You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it
You wanna leave it but you can't forget about it

No need to wait
I'm heading off
I don't feel like I want you as part of life
How your eyes look sad and surprised
I don't care I'm leaving tonight

I've had enough
You've given up
I swore this would never happen again
You don't cause my lips to keel
Your touch has lost its appeal

I trusted you in my arms
I carried you with my heart
It's criminal not to feel at all
I'm sorry but you've left it too late

We can't keep holding on
We're low on luck and out of time
I can't keep holding on
It's unmistakable we are incapable of love

I've had enough
You've given up
I don't feel like I want you as part of life
You held control all the time
No longer there by my side

I trusted you in my arms
I carried you with my heart
It's criminal not to feel at all
I'm sorry but you've left it too late

We can't keep holding on
We're low on luck and out of time
I can't keep holding on for you to one day change your mind
We can't keep holding on
We're low on luck and out of time
I can't keep holding on
It's unmistakable we are incapable of love

It's hopeless you don't help things
Your kiss could suck the life out of anything
It's over
You broke this
Lips were shaking
Don't feel we connect
I trusted you in my arms
I carried you with my heart
It's criminal not to feel at all
I'm sorry but you've left it too late

We can't keep holding on
We're low on luck and out of time
I can't keep holding on for you to one day change your mind
We can't keep holding on
We're low on luck and out of time
I can't keep holding on
It's unmistakable we are incapable of love

From the littlest things
To the pain that it brings
Down to the things you miss the most
But you won't let yourself go
No you won't let yourself

‘Cos time and time again
We feel the load a little more
If you can let yourself go
Then we won't hit that road.

‘Cos I can see the sky
But it is yours to be seen
If you can be with someone else
If you can let yourself

But is this the time?
Is this the place?
And is this the end
Is all I can say
I promise I never meant to turn you away
Why did you trust me with your heart?

So consider the things
From the pain that it brings
Down to the things that you miss the most
But if you let yourself go
Well then the next thing you know
Is I have seen this guy
He is looking at me
Yeah and he thinks I'm something else
So you can walk yourself home
Yeah you can go

Even though you waited
I know that you can begin on your own
You can begin on your own

But is this the time?
Is this the place?
And is this the end
Is all I can say
I promise I never meant to turn you away
Why did you trust me with your heart?

I promise I never meant to turn you away
Why did you trust me with your heart?

Can't you see the way you talk to each other?
Don't you realise we're in this together?
It's difficult to think you love one another at all.

Think twice, stand back, turn around and come back
Start again once again once more with feeling

You're on the same side so why are you fighting?
We share the same blood you're loved that you'll ever know

Think twice, stand back, turn around and come back
Start again once again once more with feeling

Can't you see the way you talk to each other?
Don't you realise we're in this together?

To think I showed such promise such potential as a lover
But I guess I had my hands full with myself without another
To occupy my fancies to take root amongst the woods
Hell I should have known I'd never come up with the goods
I never could

I will laugh and I will cry
And I'll take comfort in that someday I shall die

I've said and I've done things in my time and to make you shiver
I've spent time with wistful eyes just staring at the river
In the end I couldn't even find the words she wanted me to say
In her heart she knows she never knew me anyway.
What can I say

I will laugh I will cry
And I'll take comfort in that someday I shall die
Take for instance if you will a person you don't care for
Not someone you hate just someone you turn off the phone for
Spare a thought for them because no matter how much they whine and they moan
There's not a bad thing you can say about them they've not said when they're alone
Pick up the phone

I will laugh and I will cry
And I'll take comfort in that someday I shall die

I will laugh and I will cry
And I'll take comfort in that someday I shall die

How's it got so far?
I've gone way too far
It's become so hard
How'd it get so far?

And why does it hurt?
I don't want the hurt
I can't stop this hurt
Can I stop this hurt?

I have let you down
I have let me down
Heard what's going down?
Now I'm one of them

And why does it hurt?
I don't want the hurt
I can't stop this hurt
Can I stop this hurt?

Take me out to sea
Make it pain to see
Stop this misery
Where all eyes can see

And why does it hurt?
I don't want the hurt
I can't stop this hurt
Can I stop this hurt?

I will find my way to you
I have to find my way to you
All I see is you
And you're beautiful
But you're far away
And you're over me
And you're so happy
And I can't get through
‘Cos I fucked it up
Leaving you for dead
Now I'm starved for air
And there's no one there
Now way out of here
‘Cos I failed again
Nothing left to say
I've thrown it all away
My head is spinning around
And my throat is tight
And my heart is cold
I think I'm about to fold
But they don't care for it
They don't give a fuck
Telling me nothing
Show you a thing or two
Under black of night
Under crashing waves
Feel it crushing it
Squeezing every drop
I think I've lost control
It's controlling what I've got
How could I do this
To the one I miss?
The one I dream about
I want to scream and shout

All I see is you
