My good intent,
Is something that turns visions into actions again,
Like my cravings,

My good intentions,
My list of lists tells me that merit leads to salvation,
That?s not how things are done really,
I don't think so.

I don't know if I'm dreaming I'm a bear,
Or that he's dreaming he's me

I will take you to a place you will remember all your life (if that's okay).

Faced with the choice of just false beliefs,
A way to come to terms with my irrelevance,
All that really matters is I'm happy,
Never mind (how I got here).

My good intentions heal my soul,
The future is something precious,
Precious.

I've lived by mountains,
I've looked at trees,
I took it for granted,
No concern to me,
When you stepped on your mother just to get at me,
Must get out of this city,
Has it dawned on me?

All desire zapped away from me,
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
All ambition was destroying my soul because

I wanted so much I lost it all.
I wanted too much and I lost it all.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
Because moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

Mother nature come to me,
I had a vision of the colour green,
I moved from the city and I tended the land,
Got out of this rat race and realised

All desire zapped away from me,
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
All ambition was destroying any soul because

I wanted so much I lost it all,
I wanted too much and I lost it all,
I wanted so much I lost it all,
because moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

And I want to live in the country and I want a view out to sea.
Mother nature show me a calmer place,
I need this city like a whole in the head because

I wanted so much I lost it all.
I wanted too much and I lost it all.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
?cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all,
?cos moving a mountain only caused me to fall.
I wanted so much I lost it all.

In future days with riot squads,
I simply want to melt away,
In fear of threat the system creaks,
And snatches everything it sees,
Incopper wires my life has changed,
Many miles beneath the sea,
Disposable decisions made,
Your razor wire letters sent.

When everything is so fragile we won't be removed,
Where I hold my possessions and I call this my home,
A statistical blip upon a screen to someone.

When Bilderberg will reign supreme,
You'll realise your votes were jokes,
By virtual deals in Burberry,
The designer world will say what goes.

When everything is so fragile we won't be removed,
Where I hold my possessions and I call this my home,
A statistical blip upon a screen to someone.

When everything is so fragile we won't be removed,
Where I hold my possessions and I call this my home,
A statistical blip upon a screen to someone,
Where I hold my possessions I call this my home.

I'm so ordinary,
It's a shame about you,
It's so debilitating, in your opposing view,
Glad I made my stand,
I'll be stone cold dead before missing you.

Not a moment sooner than that,
I'll be long gone out of your face,
I'll return to where I belong,
Like a drifter missing a home.

I'm coming home I've had enough,
Coming home where I belong,
Coming home where I feel safe,
It's why I know I most come home...

I'll get down about it,
Unlike you,
So transitionary,
You'll move on too.
Glad I made my stand.
I'll be stone cold dead before missing you.

Not a moment sooner than that,
I'll be long gone out of your face,
I'll return to where I belong,
Like a drifter missing a home.

I'm coming home I've had enough,
Coming home where I belong,
Coming home where I feel safe,
It's why I know I most come home... home...

I could never admit it, but I'm missing you,
All that effort I gave to you, you resisted me,
You could never acknowledge it,
You're the problem,
When I'm stone cold dead I'll be missing you.

Not a moment sooner than that,
I'll be long gone out of your face,
I'll return to where I belong,
Like a drifter missing a home.

I'm coming home I've had enough,
Coming home where I belong,
Coming home where I feel safe,
It's why I know I most come home...
Home.
Home.

These days I don't look back,
All my fears are gone.
I don't care,
They're in a box in my head,
Like the one I keep in my room,
These days,
After all I've been through...

Say something anything anyone,
Airtime's been stolen like a robber stole a gun,
Thoughts and locations recording it,
I became backward retreated I am gone.

Oh dear I'm in a dead spot.
Oh dear I'm in a dead spot,
And the company despairs,
No signal / no complaints.

Giant estate cars descend on us,
Crawling bacteria from where I have just come,
Acres of pylons provoking me,
Just for one second I thought of it's damage.

Oh dear I'm in a dead spot.
Oh dear I'm in a dead spot,
And the company despairs,
No signal / no complaints.

I'm only here for the weekend,
Then I'll rejoin,
Rejoin the human race,
No signal no appointments.

It's the final straw,
Here's my notice that I quit,
Though I'm not quite sure,
But I'll take this leap of faith,
It's not a waste of time if you enjoy the time you waste,
So a wise man said,
Though it seemed like yesterday.

I feel like I'm almost overcome,
Once again,
More or less.
I feel like I've always known much sooner than later.

You can cry 2 my face,
And I'll know what you want me to do,
You can cry 2 my face,
All the world will be hidden from view,
You can cry 2 my face,
No harm gets through.

Such a smoky day,
Even saints have to wait,
Though I'm not quite sure,
As I found out today,
Do you feel life like it's always on the line,
But it feels so good,
And its like this every day!

I feel like I'm almost overcome,
Once again,
More or less.
I feel like I've always known much sooner than later.

You can cry 2 my face,
And I'll know what you want me to do,
You can cry 2 my face,
All the world will be hidden from view,
You can cry 2 my face,
No harm gets through.

When you can cry 2 my face,
I will know what you want me to do,
When you can cry 2 my face,
All the world will be hidden from view,
When you can cry 2 my face,
No harm gets through.

Don't look twice

You were the seven deadly sins
Making sense in your 'screw me' dress
The beautiful ones just slip away
To a mirror where we used to kiss
With your disco heartbeat
You're not even human
We're so electric
Do you have no passion?

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

Everything I touch
Just falls to bits
So trust in me
It brings us close
Electric man
Will save our souls

Chorus:
Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
To me

So I took advice and changed a little
Hope that others like me more
Hope that you would trust me once again
Once again, once again
I am lonely once again
I hope that you would trust me once again

Chorus x2

Bring your sunshine to me, oh electric man
Bring your sunshine to me, oh you're so electric man
Bring your sunshine, bring it to me
Sunshine, sunshine, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
Bring it to me, bring it to me
La, la la la, la la la la, la la, yeah yeah yeah yeah
Ooh, the sunshine, bring it to me, yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
(repeats to fade

In the sand you used to lay
You'd be there at my side
As the night fell on the shore
She had gone
I trusted to you to stay

Read the story in the papers
Of a lover who had gone
Think that she has moved away
No one heard from her at all
For years

Someone must have heard her leave
Saw something
Get a job or get a place
All these questions made
No sense to me

Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Said you'd never leave
Pray that you are safe
Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

Every year i will return



And briefly you are there
And you always look the same
Nothing changes
Must have been the breeze

You have shot me to the bone
And ripped me up again
Was the cruelest thing to do
Came as no surprise
To me

Met a soldier from the war
Stole her things
Died alone a junkie
I still wait for you
I know you're safe

Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Said you'd never leave
Pray that you are safe
Comes as no surprise
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight
Stay with me tonight

I travelled from Dublin
U said you'd change the world
U sing like Sinatra always
You've pulled 'em 4 miles now
Like Garbo in Berlin
U played 'em 4 zeros
just like always
Tonight some bitch is hassling me
And tonight it feels
so good feeling cheap
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down

You turned a man cuckoo
Half animal half grace
The chick was a teaser always
Tonight their hips
would swivel and turn
So we drove 2 the place
where we first met
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U always
The Queens they all loved U
The tall the short the fair
The sailors the psychos always
And here I faltered gun in my hand
And U with piggies scrawled
on your wall
And tonight her note said
Better off dead
And the Earth has never
moved for me since
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U always
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
Cos I always let U down
Cos I always let U down

Cos I always let U down

The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning
The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning

So I go to work and smile
And I'm happy with myself
A brave face for my crowd
Correcting all my faults
With prescription medicine
My trouble surges

The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning
The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning

There is beauty on my own
Where I gloss over my flaws
At least I like to think I do
Correct my errors and my faults
To be someone who is appeased
With who I am for

The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning
The beauty of a butterfly that turns into something new
And I feel a new beginning

Again, again

Right then, I have to make a choice
I'm gonna start right over as another boy
Just got to poke me, kick me off my arse
Make it rhyme, make it bland, make it sell
So she said

Being a boy's like sucking on a lemon
And I judge myself by the adverts I see
My deoderant hides the real me
These things elevate me above animals

I feel like being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl, yeah oh
And my life never tasted sweeter, oh-oh-oh

I'm so boring, my clothes wanna keep
Someone else warm, someone cooler
Tax on cigarettes, treats my cancer
These things elevate me above animals

I feel like being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl, yeah oh
And my life never tasted sweeter, oh-oh-oh

Being a girl, being a girl
Being a girl, being a girl
Being a...

Feels like being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl
Being a girl, yeah oh
And my life never tasted sweeter, oh-oh-oh

A frog it cannot comprehend the sea
Nor me happiness
Girl is much too weak a word for me
Made from Balsa wood

Being a girl
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl

The only pureness left is preached by Marx
Time to contemplate
Never been informed there must be poor
Or the rich won't be rich no more

Being a girl
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)
Being a girl (I want to experience)

The only pureness left is preached to me by Marx
The only pureness left is preached to me by Marx
The only pureness left is preached by Marx

I've blown it in every single way
Screwed every single chance that came
You're a super star in waiting for the silver screen
Then the pressure came
Swept away in a tidal wave
Could be all of you, still awake at noon
Blew my chances in a tragic flurry, sweeping apathy
Buy all my food from the B.P store when the night kicks in
I'm turning my back on everyone
I've blown everything I've ever done

I've fucked it up, shot my load
Spewed onto the motorway shoulder
I could have been somebody special

I'm not such a tragic waste of space
I could bring happiness to people
Just one more greatest hits tour for the devotees
The same old faces came
They love their summer spectaculars
By the grace of God could be up by noon
And not a tragic waster but I can't stay focused for my apathy
They could have bought me a brand new car and a house in France
I've really blown it now
Blew it all away on a whim

Sat on my own for far too long
Things could have been so different now
Life looks so confusing through my window bay
Just to see a face, I'm really pleased when the gas man comes
Could be all of you still awake at noon
Blew my chances in a tragic flurry of apathy
All my food from a B.P store when the night kicks in
I've really blown it now
Blew it all away on a whim

But I fucked it up, shot my load
Spewed onto the motorway shoulder
I could have been somebody special

On top of the hour (compulsive my behaviour)
I see my life through Sky News (keeping things in order)
Keep on watching things unfolding on my wide-screen set
Can't contain myself
I'm going pay-per-view

Think I'll explode (in the corner of my room)
If I do too much gak (sits my one big eyeball)
It's with the advent of this pay-per-view
Can't control myself

I scratch my knee
I have to scratch the other
Documentaries are the best

Thru' my T.V., through my T.V.
All my problems come
Thru' my T.V., through my T.V.
All my problems come

I study quite hard (in the corner of my room)
When I should be in bed (sits my one big eyeball)
I'm in the Open University
Constant imprint of the test card on my eyes
I think I should rest (compulsive my behaviour)
Sleep on one side and the other (keeping things in order)
Always searching for the Abilene
Can't control myself

All my life
What I mistook for friendly pats on the back
Were really the hands that pushed me further and further down
The more I struggle, the less I achieve
Deep, chlorine breath
Minutes bleed into hours, bleed into days
Something keeps me in this disinfected womb

We see things differently in daylight, I suppose
I mean, everything is an excuse for something
But my conscience is intact
I can deny everything
I'm waving into blind eyes

My Book of Mormon
Wrapped in turin
And it seems inferior and jittery
You preach elastic
To your jagged flock
In an eerie passion for self-flattery.

I'm emotionally raped by Jesus
But I'm still here,
Somehow I'm still here

What now of my faith
Just a desperate exercise to limit pain
I am weak
I'm emotional and sensitve and frail
In need of some love
Pull the cancer from the Vatican's
Own state
Uninformed, you will harbour those
Who nurtured Europe's war

Keep turning my cheek
In a fragile state of violence left me weak
No guilt, hold your people in disdain
And steal their grace

I need replacement
To feel redefined
And it's just this matter of identity

Emotionally I'm wrapped in shame
Emotionally I feel I'm raped

My migraine makes me ill
My electricity is low
My laceration soothes itself
My chemicals flow
And I'm boosting what I take
Just like the Germans, getting off
On herbal vacuum - pumps of blow
It shows all I know

And I drop and I drop
And my body levels drop
And my nerves clogging up
Sucking all the substance up

With this method that I have found
I'm redressing all I know
I can change the amount of God
That wraps around me
From a satellite they fire
Serotonin from eight miles
Above Deeside in binary
It orbits my street

(Redux, redux, redux, redux
Redux, redux, redux, redux
Redux, redux, redux, redux)
My chemist is the only friend that I've got

Love is everything I want
I never knew it
Love is everything I seek
just realise
That the obvious is hard to find
I never saw it
Something's right there in your face
you look and
Love is mine I'm too selfish
But I got no time
it's essential life
Love is mine love is powerful
Solitude gets dull with time
Love is mine I'm too selfish
But I got no time it's essential
That love is mine love is powerful
Solitude gets dull with time
Love is everything I crave
ashamed to say it
Love is everything I've missed
I've dropped my guard
But love is so essential though
I'll never have it
Love will be the death of me
you look and
Love is mine I'm too selfish
But I got no time
it's essential life
Love is mine love is powerful
Solitude gets dull with time
Love is mine I'm too selfish
But I got no time it's essential
That love is mine love is powerful
Solitude gets dull with time

Love is precious and it's scarce
I'll never find it
Love will save us all
but will cause all my problems
Love is so frustating
but I've got to have it
Love it has no rationale
but still I chase it
The look and
Love is mine I'm too selfish
'Cos I've got no time
it's essential that
Love is mine love is powerful
Solitude gets dull with time
Love is mine I'm too selfish
But I got no time it's essential
That love is mine love is powerful
Love is powerful in life

Anti everything (live in richard rogers' doorways)
I care nothing (lives at the bottom of your strung-out conscience)
Except mescalin (take the day off, it's cheap for cider)
I pay for sex in sleeping bags

I smell you on me
Phased out of your life
You're no different from me

I tell you anti-everything (love him and hate him both at the same time)
I care nothing (lives at the bottom of your strung-out conscience)
Except mescalin (take the day off, it's cheap for cider)

Find a place where you can rest
Your sleepy head and won't get pissed with me
Find a place where you can rest
Your sleepy head and won't get pissed with me
