>> Airbag
In the next world war
in a jack knifed juggernaut
I am born again
in the neon sign
scrolling up and down
an airbag saved my life
in an intastella burst
I am back to save the universe
in a deep deep sleep
of the innocent completely terrified
I am born again
in a fast german car
I`m amazed that I survived
an airbag saved my life
in an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
in an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
>> Climbing Up The Walls
I am the key to the lock in the dress,
that keeps your toys in the basement,
and if you get to the far side,
you`ll only see my reflection,
I am afraid since she sleeps tonight
I am your pain keep me out of the light,
to cradle into your arms,
while all my friends still look back.
And either way you turn, I`ll be there,
open up your scorn, I`ll be there,
cradle the world.
Saw my friends on the light side,
it`s always better on the outside,
to most in the back of my head,
and to most in my mind.
So like the kids are safe tonight,
put the eyes in the cupboard,
go cradle baby side,
put the end to your spirits.
And either way you turn, I`ll be there,
open up your scorn, I`ll be there,
cradle the world.
cradle the world.
>> Electioneering
I will stop,
I will stop for nothing.
Say the right things,
We`re electioneering.
I trust I can rely on your vote.
I go forwards,
You go backwards,
Somewhere we will meet.
Draw your shields
Through their economics....
Yeah, `cause it`s just business,
who`s the enemy this week?
Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?
I go forwards,
You go backwards,
Somewhere we will meet.
Doing it all, doing it all.
>> Exit Music
wake from your sleep
and dry off your tears
today we escape
we escape
pack and get dressed
before your father hears us
before all hell breaks lose
breathe keep breathing
don`t lose your nerve
breathe keep breathing
i can`t do this alone
sing us a song
a song to keep us warm
Take such a trip
such a trip
you can laugh
a spinless laugh
overboard and let`s come join you
now we all want an everlasting peace
we hope that you choke that you choke
we hope that you choke that you choke
we hope that you choke that you choke
we hope that you choke that you choke
>> Fitter Happier
fitter happier more productive
comfortable
not drinking too much
regulat excersise at the gym (3 days a week)
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
at ease
eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)
a patient better driver
a safer car (baby smiling in back seat)
sleeping well (no bad dreams)
no paranoia
careful to all animals (no washing spiders down the plughole)
keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then)
will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall)
favours for favours
fond but not in love
charity standing orders
on sunday ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants)
car wash (also on sundays)
no longer afraid of the dark
or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
nothing so childish
at a better pace
slower and more calculated
no chance of escape
now self-employed
concerned (but powerless)
an empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not
idealism)
will not cry in public
less chance of illness
tyres that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat)
a good memory
still cries at a good film
still kisses with saliva
no longer empty and frantic
like a cat
tied to a stick
that s driven into
frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)
calm
fitter, healthier and more productive
a pig
in a cage
on antibiotics
>> Karma Police
Karma Police,
arrest this man he,
talks too much,
his voice is like a fridge,
he`s like a ditchy radio
Karma Police
arrest this girl she,
stares at me,
as if she own the world,
and we have crashed her party.
This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with me.
Karma Police,
I`ve given all I can,
it`s not enough,
I`ve given all I can,
but we`re still off the payroll.
This is what you get,
this is what you get,
this is what you get,
when you mess with me.
And for a minute there,
I lost myself I lost myself,
And for a minute there,
I lost myself I lost myself,
And for a minute there,
I lost myself I lost myself,
And for a minute there,
I lost myself I lost myself.
>> Let Down
transport. motorways and tramlines
starting and then stopping.
taking off and Landing.
the emptiest of feelings.
sentimetal drivel.
clinging onto bottles
when it comes its so so.
disappointing let down and hanging around.
crushed like a bug in the ground
let down and hanging around
shell smashed. juices flowing. wings twitch.
legs are going. don`t get sentimatal.
it always ends up drivel.
one day.
I am going to grow wings.
chemical reaction. histerical and useless.
histerical and let down and hanging around.
crushed like a bug in the ground.
you know where you are with.
you know where you are with.
floor collapses floating bouncing back and one day.
you know where you are with.
>> Lucky
I`m on a roll,
I`m on a roll....this time,
I feel my luck could change.
Kill me Sarah
Kill me again....with love.
It`s gonna be a glorious day.
Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the wreck,
Cause I`m your superhero
leave you standing on the edge
the head of state is calling my name
but i don`t have time for you
It`s gonna be a glorius day
I feel my luck could change
Pull me out of the aircrash,
Pull me out of the wreck,
Cause I`m your superhero
leave you standing on the edge
leave you standing on the edge
>> No Surprises
heart that`s filled up like a landfill
a job that slowly kills you
bruises that won`t heal
You look so tired; happy
bring down the government
they don`t they don`t speak for her
I`ll take a quiet life
a handshake of carbon monoxide
no more alarms and no surprises
no more alarms and no surprises
no more alarms and no surprises
silence,
silence,
this is my fianl fit, my fianl bellyache with
(thom sings: Ed sings:)
no alarms and no surprises I`m so happy now
no alarms and no surprises I`m so happy now
no alarms and no surprises I`m so happy now
Sunshine, pretty as the sunshine, pretty God
no more alarms and no surprises
no more alarms and no surprises
no more alarms and no surprises
Here`s another (and older) version of the song from the ,Planet Paradiso bootleg
He was sick of his clock stopping
wind it up, that girl stayed sleeping next to him.
Watch stops, the batteries run down
He started his broken sentence, "No alarms..."
The watch stops, the batteries run down.
He started his broken sentence, "No alarms and no
surprises..."
He was sick of her excuses
To not take off her dress when he beat her in the bathroom.
He was sick of his clock stopping, wind it up.
"No alarms and no surprises...
No alarms and no surprises...
No alarms and no surprises please."
>> Paranoid Android
Please could you stop the noise i`m trying to get some rest
from all the unborn chicken voices in my head
what`s there
what`s there
(my name is paranoid.... i`m your android)
When i am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all
what`s there
what`s there
(my name is paranoid.... i`m your android)
ambition makes you look pretty ugly
kicking squealing gucci little piggy
you don`t remember
you don`t remember
why don`t you remember my name
off with his head
off with his head
why don`t you remember my name
i guess he does
rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
from a great height
from a great height
height
height
rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
from a great height
from a great height
height
height
rain down
rain down
come on rain down
on me
from a great height
from a great height
height
height
that`s it sir you`re leaving
the crackle of pig skin,
the dust and the screaming
the yuppies networking,
the panic, the vomit,
the panic, the vomit,
god loves his children,
god loves his children
yeah
>> Subteranean Homesick Alien
The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting.
The smell of the warm summer air.
I live in a town
where you can`t smell a thing,
You watch your feet
for cracks in the pavement.
And up above
aliens hover
making home movies
for the folks back home,
Of all these weird creatures
who lock up their spirits,
through holes in themselves
and live for their secrets
They`re all uptight.......
I wish that they`d swoop down in a country lane
late at night when I`m driving
Take me onboard their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I`d love to see it
I tell all my friends
But they never believe me
They`d think that I finally lost it completely
I show them the stars
and the meaning of life
they`d shut me away
but I`ll be all right
all right
I`m just uptight.....
>> The Tourist
A box that no one else but me
Like it`s seen a ghost
I guess they`d seen this box before
No one else would know
Hey man, slow down
slow down
Idiot, slow down
slow down
Sometimes I get off the job
That`s when you see spots
They ask me where the hell I`m going
A thousand feet per second
Hey man, slow down
slow down
Idiot, slow down
slow down
Hey man, slow down
slow down
Idiot, slow down
slow down
