I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive,
In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs Stop and wait a sec, Oh when you look at me like that my darling, What did you expect, I’ll probably still adore you with your hands around my neck, Or I did last time I checked Not shy of a spark, The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark, Frightened by the bite though its no harsher than the bark, The middle of adventure is such a perfect place to start I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive, In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs. But I crumble completely when you cry, It seems like once again you’ve had to greet me with goodbye I’m always just about to go and spoil the surprise Take my hands off of your eyes too soon I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive, In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs, and a smile |

Caricatures of your wrecking ball gown, in my mind All the time I wanna be in that, damsel patterned alley Where you go, for a smoke And sorrow slow dances The phones are lighting up Taking no chances Close but never close enough Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons Tinting the solitude Put on your dancing shoes And show me what to do. I know you've got the moves All my own stunts High noon changed it's tune Linking arms, syncing hearts And sorrow slow dances Around the edges of her eyes Taking no chances The last one out, to win a prize Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons Tinting the solitude Put on your dancing shoes And show me what to do. I know you've got the moves Wooah Wooah Wooah Wooah "coz i'm from high green, i'm from high green" |

Running off over next door's garden
Before the hour is done It's more a question of feeling Than it is a question of fun The confidence is the balaclava I'm sure you'll baffle 'em good With the ending wreak of salty cheeks And runny makeup alone Oh will blood run down the face Of a boy bewildered and scorned And you'll find yourself in a skirmish Where you wish you'd never been born And you tie yourself to the tracks And there isn't no going back And it's wrong wrong wrong But well do it anyway 'cause we love a bit of trouble Are you pulling her from a burning building Or throwing her to the sharks You can only hope the ending is as pleasurable as the start The confidence is the balaclava, I'm sure you baffle 'em straight And its wrong wrong wrong she can hardly wait That's right, he wont let her out his sight Now the shaggers perform And the daggers are drawn Who's the crooks in this crime? That's right, he wont let her out his sight Now the shaggers perform And the daggers are drawn Who's the crooks is this.... Crime! That's right, he won't let her out his sight That's right, he won't let her out his sight That's right, he won't let her out his sight Will You be able to post any day of the most For the sights of all time You knew that it could be trouble right before the very first kiss Quiet and unassuming but your heard that they were the naughtiest She pleaded with you to take it off But you resisted and fought Sorry sweetheart I'd much rather, keep on the balaclava. |

Lately I've been seeing things Belly button piercings In the sky at night When we're side by side And I don't mean to rain On anybody cabriolet One of those games You're gonna lose But you wanna play it Just in case Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide Does it help you stay up late Does it help you concentrate Does it tune you in When you chew your chin Am I ruining your fun And you talk the talk alright But do you walk the walk Or catch the train You wanted it, you got it But you don't want it now Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide Now I'm out of place And I'm not getting any wiser I feel like The Sundance Kid Behind the synthesizer And I tried last night To pack away the laugh Like a key under the mat But it never seems to be there When you want it Black treacle Black treacle |

Brian, top marks for not tryin'
So kind of you to bless us With your effortlessness We're grateful and so strangely comforted And I wonder, are you puttin' us under? Cause we can't take our eyes off The t-shirt and ties combination Well see you later, innovator Some want to kiss, some want to kick you There's not a net you couldn't slip through Or at least that's the impression I get Cause you're smooth and you're wet And she's not aware yet, but she's yours She'll be sayin' "Use me, Show me the jacuzzi" I imagine that it's there on a plate Your rendezvous rate means that you'll never be frightened To make them wait for a while I doubt it's your style Not to get what you set out to acquire The eyes are on fire You are the unforecasted storm (Brian) Calm, collected, and commandin' (Top marks for not tryin') You made the other stories standin' With your renditions and jokes Bet there's hundreds of blokes That have wept cause You've stolen their, thunder Are you puttin' us under? Cause we can't take our eyes off The t-shirt and ties combination Well see you later, innovator |

Thought I saw you in the battleship
But it was only a look a like She was nothing but a vision trick Under the warning light She was close, close enough to be your ghost But my chances turned to toast When I asked her if I could call her your name I thought I saw you in the rusty hook Huddled up in wicker chair I wandered up for a closer look And kissed who ever was sitting there She was close, and she held me very tightly 'Til I asked awfully politely, please Can I call you her name And I elongated my lift home, Yeah I let him go the long way round I smelt your scent on the seatbelt And kept my shortcuts to myself I thought I saw you in the parrots beak Messing with the smoke alarm It was too loud for me to hear her speak And she had a broken arm It was close, so close that the walls were wet And she wrote it out in letraset No you can't call me her name Tell me where's your hiding place I'm worried I'll forget your face And I've asked everyone And I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along I elongated my lift home Yeah I let him go the long way round I smelt your scent on the seatbelt And kept my shortcuts to myself I saw your sister in the cornerstone On the phone to the middle man When I saw that she was on her own I thought she might understand She was close, well you couldn't get much closer She said I'm really not supposed to but yes, You can call me anything you want |

I sat in the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed On the last of your pick and mix Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been caught cold before As you bit into your strawberry lace And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper Is all you have left and it was going to waste Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I love that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons The next time that I caught my own reflection It was on it's way to meet you Thinking of excuses to postpone You never look like yourself from the side But your profile did not hide The fact you knew I was approaching your throne With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw And your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoon Uninviting But not half as impossible as everyone assumes You are crying lightning Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying lightning Crying lightning Crying lightning Crying lightning Your past-times, consisted of the strange And twisted and deranged And I hate that little game you had called Crying |

I heard the truth was built to bend
A mechanism to suspend the guilt Is what you are requiring still You've got to dance little liar Just like those fibbs that pop and fizz And you'll be forced to take that awful quiz And you're bound to trip And she'll detect the fiction on Your lips and dig a contradiction up And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt beneath the dirt The liar take a lot less time I'm sure it's clear and plain to me Its not an alibi you need just yet Oh no it's something for those beads of sweat Yes that we'll get you back to normal And after you have dabbed the patch you'll grieve And then proceed to scratch the varnish off That newly added calmness So as not to raise any alarms too soon And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt beneath the dirt The liar takes a lot less Time to decide on his saunter Have you got itchy bones And in all your time alone Can you hack your mind being riddled With the wrong memories And the clean coming will hurt And you can never get it spotless When there's dirt between the dirt |

Well the morning was complete.
There was tears on the steering wheel dripping on the seat, Several hours or several weeks, I'd have the cheek to say they're equally as bleak! It's the beginning of the end, the car went up the hill, And disappeared around the bend, ask anyone they'll tell you that. It's these times that it tends, The start to breaking up, to start to fall apart Oh! hold on to your heart. Do me a favour, break my nose! Do me a favour, tell me to go away! Do me a favour, stop asking questions! She walked away, well her shoes were untied, And the eyes were all red, You could see that we've cried, and I watched and I waited, 'Till she was inside, forcing a smile and waving goodbye. Curiousity becomes a heavy load, Too heavy to hold, too heavy to hold. Curiousity becomes a heavy load, Too heavy to hold, will force you to be cold. And do me a favour, and ask if you need some help! She said, do me a favour and stop flattering yourself! How to tear apart the ties that bind, perhaps fuck off, might be too kind, Perhaps fuck off, might be too kind. |

Beside a box of matches A welcome threatening stir My hopes of being stolen Might just ring true Depends who you prefer But if it's true you're gonna run away Tell me where I'll meet you there Am I snapping the excitement If I pack away the laguther And tell you how it feels And does burden come to meet ya If I've questions of the feature that runs on your dream wheel The day after you stole my heart, Everything I touched told me it would be better shared with you And you're hiding in my soup And the book reveals your face And there's a splashing in my eyelids The concentration continually breaks I did request the mark you cast Didn't heal as fast I hear your vioce in silences Will the teasing of the fire be followed by the thud? And the jostling crowd You're not allowed to tell the truth And the photobooth's a liar And the sharpened explanations But theres no screaming reason to inquire I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes with things they never see if it smacks in their temples |

And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up Isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs As they're trying be the good grace of a sweetheart Out to the point she'll comply Why leave her on her own? If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known Why leave her on her own? If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far I don't know what it is that they want I don't know what it is that they want But I haven't got it to give She hasn't got it to give |

Old yellow bricks,
Love's a risk, Quite the little Escapoligist Looked so miffed, When you wished, For a thousand places better than this, You are the fugitive, But you dont know what you're runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldnt trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from, Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia, Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? She was enraged by the way, That the emperor put traps in the cage, And the days she being dull, Lead to nights readin beer bottles, You're such a fugitive, But you dont know what you're runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldn't trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from, Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia, Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up? You're at a loss, Just because, It wasnt all that you thought it was, You are a fugitive but you dont know what you're runnin away from, She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up, And revel in nostalgia, I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but, Dorothy was right though |

In a foreign place, the saving grace was the feeling, That it was a heart that he was stealing, Oh he was ready to impress and the fierce excitement, The eyes are bright he couldnt wait to get away, I bet the juliet was just the icing on the cake, Make no mistake no, And even if somehow we could have shown you the place you wanted, Well I'm sure you could have made it that bit better on your own, And I bet she told a million people that she'd stay in touch, Well all the little promises they dont mean much, When theres memories to be made, And I hope you're holding hands by new years eve, They made it far too easy to believe, That true romance cant be acheived these days, And even if somebody could have shown you the place you wanted, Well I sure you could have made it that bit better on your own, You are the only ones who know |

And we embellish the banks of our bloodstreams, And threw caution to the colourful Then we fell asleep in the car, Until the bumps woke me up in your grip And the tide took me to your mouth, And then swept me back down to your palms It's them that put me inside the reminder That yours is the only ocean, (Yours Is the only ocean) That I wanna swing from, Yours is the only ocean, That I wanna hang on I've got this ego mechanic, She's always trying to give me vitamins Oh she'd be frightened of your reflection, I preferred her as a cartoon If I could be someone else for a week, I'd spend it chasing after you, Cos she's not shattering my attitude, No matter how she folds the potion Yours is the only ocean, That I wanna swing from, Yours is the only ocean, That I wanna hang on to I'm swinging on Yours is the only ocean, Yours is the only ocean, Yours is the only ocean, Yours is the only ocean Potion approaching, shield your eyes, Potion approaching, visualize, Holding a token, swollen in size, Potion approaching, shield your eyes Oh but if we're gonna escape though, We really ought to think it through, Would you like me to build you a go kart? |

Tricking through the morning,
The tramp with the trampoline under his arm, Shifts past your whiskers, So spark is a charm with the barking alarm, Weighs coil 'til the corner is turned. And the bicycle wheels, all struggle to move round, In your muddy mind, Blatantly cape town, And will intertwine in co-operative time, Shall we sit on the springs 'til the mung goes dry? All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall, All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the What came first the chicken or the dickhead? Split sleep reeps through rewards and ill fitting thoughts, A twilight force, she doesn't wanna walk, Your legs start running and your head gets caught, Cannot be nineteen, it's perfectly placed for the reasonably frightening, Pulled from the after taste, you'll have to slip away, And I'm happy to say, Behold as the crook in a hammock plays All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall, All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall Behold as the crook in the hammock plays, Crawling with the base of the scales, And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act, Gagged, bound and craft in a tale, Trailing wrapped in a gasp, Crawling with the base of the scales, And fucking fiddles with the feet on a balancing act, You were gagged, bound and craft in a tale, Trailing wrapped in a gasp. All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall, All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms And cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall. |

Topless models doing semaphores
wave their flags as she walks by and get ignored Illuminations on a rainy day When she walks her footsteps sing a reckless serenade I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I mean Called up to listen to the voice of reason And got the answering machine The type of kisses where teeth collide When she laughs her heaven's horn A stun gun lullaby Those twinkling vixens With a shine spiralize Their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need Called up to listen to the voice of reason And got his answering machine I left my message but did he fuck back to me And now I'm stuck still and wondering how it's meant to be Singing a reckless serenade, reckless serenade Reckless serenade, reckless serenade Reckless serenade Reckless serenade Reckless serenade |

Fools on parade cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes That you would rather be beside than in front of But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares She swam out of tonight's phantasm Grabbed my hand and made it very clear There's absolutely nothing for us here It's a magnolia celebration To be attempted on a Wednesday night It's better than to get a reputation As a miserable little tyke At least that's the conclusion She came to in this overture The secret door swings behind us She's saying nothing She's just giggling along Her arms were folded most indignant Not looking like she was soon to leave I had to squint in order to believe And then like a butler pushing on a bookshelf I'm unveiling the unexpected How she was never gonna look to? Suddenly embarrassed and corrected How could such a creature Survive in such a habitat The secret door swings behind us She's saying nothing She's just giggling along And even if they were to find us I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied At all the fools on parade Cavort and carry on for waiting eyes That you would rather be beside than in front of But she's never been the kind To be hollowed by the stares Fools on parade Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture That holds her options But you're daft to think she'd care Fools on parade [3x] Conduct a sing-along |

She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms I've been feeling foolish You should try it She came unsubstituted the peace and quiet For acrobatic blood flow concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms Here is your host Sounds as if she's pulling close When the heat starts growing horns She's thunderstorms She's been loop-the-looping around my mind Her motorcycle boots give me this kind of Acrobatic blood concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms In an unusual place When you're feeling far away She does what the night does to the day She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms Thunderstorms Thunderstorms |

Your love is like a studded
leather headlock Your kiss it could put creases in the road You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock And those other girls are just post-mix lemonade Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you I poured my aching heart into a pop song I couldn't get the hang of poetry That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun And I can only hoped you've got it aimed at me Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for Blue girls from once a upon a Shangri La How I often wonder where you are You have got that face that just says Baby, I was made to break your heart Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Go Go Go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you |

They sped up to the point where they provoke
the punchline before they have told the joke Concealed desperation to be seen staring at the television screen They sped up to the point where they provoke you to tell the fucking punchline before you have to the joke I`m sorry, sunshine, it doesn`t exist it wasn`t in the top 100 list And it`s the thousandth time that it`s even bolder Don`t be surprised when you get bent over they told ya but you were dyin` for it She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn`t what it seemed The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means Another variation on a theme A tangle on the television and a magazine D`you reckon that they do it for a joke? D`you reckon that they make them take an oath that says that we are defenders of any poser or professional pretender around When did your list replace the twist and turn and the fist replace the kiss, don`t concern Don`t be bothered I don`t want your prayer Save it for the morning after And it`s the thousandth time that it`s even bolder don`t be surprised when you get bent over they told ya but you were gagging for it Let`s have a game on the teddy picker not quick enough can i have it quicker already thick, can you get in quicker Let`s have a game on the teddy picker not quick enough can i have it quicker already thick, can you get in quicker Coz you meant that all things are equal Who`d want to be men of the people When there`s people like you |

Do the bad thing, Take off your wedding ring, But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse, Oh the nights like a whirlwind, Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me but its alright, She's sayin that hes not gonna slap me or try to attack me, Hes not the jealous type, And I ony need to get half an excuse and im away, But when theres no excuses thats much easier to say, I've been before, And all these capers make her too forward to ignore, Well She's talkin but im not entirely sure, ohh Do the bad thing, Take off your wedding ring, But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse, Oh im stood at the bar and somebody's partner's talkin to me, But I dont know that is what she isnt she murmors things to confirm That the tragedy is true, And I knew 'how could she could have anyone she wants, And im strugglin to think of an immediate response, Like I dont mind, Be a big mistake, For you to wait, And let me waste your time, Really love its fine, Really love its fine, And then the first time it occured that there was something to destroy, I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy, Oh but she carried on suggestin, a struggle to refuse, She said "its the red wine this time, but that is no excuse" |

Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue It does a dozen somersaults and it leaves you supercharged Makes me wanna blow her candles out just to see if you glow in the dark Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet booby-trap I took the batteries out my mysticism and put 'em in my thinking cap She's got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on the wall For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Oh... And in a hellcat spangled cavern When your judgement's on the run And you're acting like a stranger Cause you thought it looked like fun Well did you ever get the feeling Did you think she set the fall Her steady hands may well have done the devil's pedicure What you waiting for? To sing another fuckin' Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala |

This house is a circus, berserk as fuck
We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end Looking for trouble and there's lovers to be had Those ones next to us are such lovely lads Scaling the corridors for maidens in the maze And the anomaly is slipping into familiar ways And we're forever unfulfilled Can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes Forever unfulfilled And can't think why Like a search for murder clues In dead man's eyes The more you open your mouth The more you're forcing performance All the attention is leading me to feel important (completely obnoxious) Now that we're here, we may as well go too far Wriggling around just so that you won't forget There's certainly some venom in the looks that you collect Aimlessly gazing at the blazers in the queue Struggling with the notion that it's life not film This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end This house is a circus, berserk as fuck We tend to see that as a perk though. Look What it's done to your friends their memories are pretend And the last thing they want is for the feeling to end |
