Boredom

Yeah - well - I say what I mean
I say what comes to my mind
I never get around to things
I live a straight - straight line

You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom

boredom

I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
I'm the man that's waiting for the phone to ring
Hear it ring-a-ding-a-fucking-ding

You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom

Boredom


You see there's nothing behind me
I'm already a has-been
my future ain't what it was
well I think I know the words that I mean

You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom

B'dum - b'dum

I've taken this extravagant journey
so it seems to me
I just came from nowhere
and I'm going straight back there

You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom

So I'm living in this movie
but it doesn't move me
so tell me who are you trying to arouse?
get your hands out of my trousers

You know me - I'm acting dumb
you know the scene - very humdrum
boredom - boredom

Breakdown

If I seem a little jittery I can't restrain myself
I'm falling into fancy fragments - can't contain myself
I'm gonna breakdown - breakdown yes

Now I can stand austerity but it gets a little much
when there's all these livid things that you never get to touch
I'm gonna breakdown ...

I feel me brain like porridge coming out of me ears
and I was anticipating reverie
I've taken leave of me senses - and I'm in arrears
my legs buckle over - I'm living on my knees
I'm gonna breakdown ...

Whatever makes me tick it takes away my concentration
sets my hands a-trembling - gives me frustration
I'm gonna breakdown ...

So I hear that two is company for me it's plenty trouble
though my double thoughts are clearer now that I am seeing double
I'm gonna breakdown ...

Oh mum can I grow out of what's too big for me?
I'll give up that ghost before it gives up me
I wander loaded as a crowd - a nowhere wolf of pain
Living next to nothing - my nevermind remains
I'm gonna breakdown ...

Certain Move

It's such a certain move
Don't throw it right back on me
It's such a certain move
Open your eyes so you can see

You look like you should know
So let the four winds blow
I think it's time to go

It's such a certain move
Just turn your mind from night to day
It's such a certain move
I could believe in what you say

You look like you should know
So let the four winds blow
I think it's time to go

It's such a certain move
Don't throw it right back on me
It's such a certain move
Open your eyes so you can see

It's such a certain move
From time to time and day to day
It's such a certain move
What does it matter anyway

It's such a certain move
From time to time and day to day
It's such a certain move
What does it matter anyway

I could believe in what you say
What does it matter anyway

Paradise is a platinum card
Behind the wheel of your car
With your new pair of trainers
Designer clothes
Go on, I'll have seven of those
And go to ski where it snows
Its bounty sustains us

In love with the never never
Wish I could get something I really need

Videophones
With all the latest ringtones
You buy-to-let your new home
Don't care what you're spending
Then just like that
Reminders under the mat
Of your flat full of tat
The pile of debts never ending

In love with the never never
Wish I could get something I really need

Crystal night

I read the news you saw the headlines
I know your secret do you know mine
Somebody said they're getting closer
I guess we don't have all that much time

They're lighting bonfires in the distance
You know somethings in life will never change
So please don't say there was no warning
Just hold on tight it's crystal night again
It's crystal night again

This lot won't stop with just your records
This lot won't stop with all your dirty books
This lot won't stop don't need excuses
Don't like your lifestyle don't like your looks

They're lighting bonfires in the distance
You know somethings in life will never change
But please don't say there was no warning
Just hold on tight it's crystal night again
It's crystal night again

I read the news you're in the headlines
You've sold your secret will you tell mine
I hear a shout they're getting closer
I guess we don't have all that much time

This lot won't stop with just your records
This lot won't stop with all your dirty books
This lot won't stop don't need excuses
Don't like your lifestyle don't like your looks
So please don't say there was no warning
Just hold on tight it's crystal night again
It's crystal night again

Do It

Here again playing the lonely game
Blind as a fool who won't see
Suddenly taking control again
What could be happening to me
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
My source of inspiration
You don't get far when you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

Hestitate is there no end to it
So tired of living a lie
Time won't wait too late to start again
Wander while wondering why
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
Perverse sophistication
You won't get far if you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

[Solo]

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
My source of inspiration
You don't get far if you're going nowhere

It's not infatuation
To hope that you're the one to care
My final consolation
You won't get far you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees
I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
I can do it,do it,do it,do it
Here again playing the lonely game
Blind as a fool who won't see
Suddenly taking control again
What could be happening to me
My only consolation
Is that someday you'll care
My source of inspiration
You don't get far when you're going nowhere

I can do it,do it,do it till the morning comes
Like the river fills the sea
I can do it,do it,do it like incessant drums
I can do it like the birds and the bees

Hestitate is there no end to it
So tired of living a lie
Time won't wait too late to start again
Wander while wondering why
My only consolation

Perverse sophistication
You won't get far if you're going nowhere

Don't Mess Me 'Round

Gonna have to cut you down to size
you're running out of style
I'm gonna kit you out
with a subterranean profile
don't you push me too far
it's gonna be bad for your health
you'll wind up just a friend
to the ghost of your former self

Don't mess me round
don't you mess me round
you put me down
don't mess me round

Any more of your mouth
and we'll both see red
I'll pin your bottom lip
to the top of your head
you've got too much talkie-talkie
don't say one more thing
I'll make your insides look
like a Jackson Pollock painting

Don't mess me round

Dreamin'

Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Try as hard as I can I just can't get you out of my mind
Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Will my dreams come true or am I simply wasting my time?

Well, I told you that I'm sorry, didn't mean to make you cry
But look at it from my point of view
It's the little things in life on which our happiness depends
And what's the use if any in trying to survive
All the problems that the world can provide
If at the end of all it we haven't got the time to be friends?

Well, I get this funny feeling that just won't stay away
You know it drives me almost out of my mind
It seems that life's too short to carry on the way that we do
Too much discrimination is keeping us apart
And I don't think I can take any more
I only hope and pray I can find a way to say "I love you"

Oh wouldn't it be great if we could be in that state forever
Just a moment with you in the next year or two or whenever
Let's make history together

Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Try as hard as I can I just can't get you out of my mind
Dreamin', am I dreamin'?
Will my dreams come true or am I simply wasting my time?
Try as hard as I can I just can't get you out of my mind

Driving You Insane


It's a blur
It's a slur
As you were
It's a thing all covered in pain

Half a mind
There's no time
Do a line
You can't find anything to say

Any way
Any day
Can you play with a list of human remains

Have a shave
Take a rave
Be a slave
From a kestrel to a knave

On the go
Feeling fast
Feeling slow
Want to throw
Want to know
Want to throw

In the door
Out the door
On the floor
You want more
To adore
It's a bore

Any way
Any day
Can you play with a list of human remains

It's a chance
It's a stance
It's a dance
It's a recoil on advance

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
(Your hung up) on the things
That drives you insane

It's a blur
It's a slur
As you were
It's a thing all covered in pain, yeah

Half a mind
There's no time
Do a line
You can't find anything to say

Any way
Any day
Can you play with a list of human remains

Have a shave
Take a rave
Be a slave
From a kestrel to a knave

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
(Your hung up) on the things
That drives you insane

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
(Your hung up) on the things
That drives you insane

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
(Your hung up) on the things
That drives you insane

Being stuck on the things
That drives you insane
(Your hung up) on the things
That drives you insane
