The Only One

it's your reality that's troubling me
that makes impossible the fantasy
created this image in my head
something that can't be reached
i'm falling for what i made of you
and it's not your fault
you're hardly to blame
but i can't help myself
CAN'T STOP THINKING YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
you're my creation
you're my goddess
bit by bit i've constructed you
bit by bit i've built you up
i'm clinging on to my mind's eye
see you walking down the street
i realise that you don't exist
CAN'T STOP THINKING YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE
and then one night
you shut out the cold
made the storm stop
murmuring words of love
and how can i hold on
to this bliss forever
oh porphyria oh porphyria
everyone is blaming me
blood on my hands
blood on my face
euphoria in my heart
(poor porphyria)
you're making me feel warm
although your body turned cold
(poor porphyria)
stone dead on the carpet
the only way you can exist

Panama Beach

living in a failed state
as a fucking cheapskate
feeling like a featherweigth
i don't even care mate
strikes every day
and the government saying
that there is no other way
for your own goodwill
just swallow the bitter pill
PANAMA BEACH
PANAMA PARADISE
THE PARTY GOES ON
DON'T TURN ON THE LIGHTS
yet it seems unlikely that
the kids will unite
they're going out
doing lines of white
who gives a fuck about
the tax flight
it's all a load of bollocks
it's all a load of shite
PANAMA BEACH
PANAMA PARADISE
THE PARTY GOES ON
DON'T TURN ON THE LIGHTS
offshore banking business
international crime
the panama party
goes on and on and on
living in a failed state
with strikes every day
there is no other way
for your own goodwill
just swallow the bitter pill

Where Is My Head
02:19
|
|
||
|
i'm sick and tired
of feeling sick and tired
i'm losing friends
no grudges - just outta touch
i'm wandering around
trying to find my head
WHERE IS MY HEAD / CAN'T FIND MY HEAD
i can't shake
the feeling that's inside
it's always coming
back around
just think of something else
why don't you piss right off
WHERE IS MY HEAD / CAN'T FIND MY HEAD
can't find my head
nowhere nowhere

Trashed My Heart
02:40
|
|
||
|
the way you trashed my heart
how you shot me in the back
how you walked out on me
in a straight line - not looking back
i'd never seen someone so confident
so self-assured about what they're doing
leaving me standing there
NOW YOU TRASHED MY HEART
NOW YOU SHOT ME IN THE BACK
I'M SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME
I'M SO FAR AWAY
crown witness of my own demise
it all happened right in front of my eyes
to think i had the great expectations
oh how i had it all worked out
now i'm cast ashore
craving cheap thrills
i need a new wave to surf
NOW YOU TRASHED MY HEART
NOW YOU SHOT ME IN THE BACK
I'M SO FAR AWAY FROM HOME
I'M SO FAR AWAY
stranded in this place
reminiscing the good old days
they're never coming back
time to cut some slack

Secrets Of The Sewer

if you wanna know how low i've been
oh baby i carry with me the secrets of the sewer
i was surrounded by rats
encircled by swine
oh i carry with me the secrets of the sewer
i was drowning but waving
sinking but smiling
sinking but smiling
and drowning but waving
i'm drowning
i'm waving
i'm crying
i'm crawling on my kness
and i hope it fucking ends
because i want it to stop
and i can't take control
i can't handle the pressure
i can't handle the fear
there's so much stuff
going on in my head
i'm crawling on my knees
i'm begging you please
i just want it to stop
just let this fucking stop

Crash Again!
02:21

i was chasing the aromas of a jah war
getting into places you don't wanna go
but then i bumped into some kind of arcadia
max behind the counter - bottle o'wine to share
i believe everything he's on about
talk of revolution - something's in the air
right here right now it sounds worth fighting for
another bottle to share and we'll change the world
PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME HOME
KILL THE SCORPIONS
POUR ME ANOTHER GLASS
TO EASE MY TROUBLED MIND
VOS PIRES CAUCHEMARS
SONT LES REVES DE NOUS
YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET
PREPARE TO CRASH AGAIN
we'll take it to the streets - demand the power back
burning cop cars - burning everything
austerity kills more than a prostester does
finish this drink & the revolution shall begin
PLEASE DON'T TAKE ME HOME
KILL THE SCORPIONS
POUR ME ANOTHER GLASS
TO EASE MY TROUBLED MIND
VOS PIRES CAUCHEMARS
SONT LES REVES DE NOUS
YOU AIN'T SEEN NOTHING YET
PREPARE TO CRASH AGAIN
preach to the jah
that the revolution's coming
with a rock 'n roll band
we'll take it to the streets
we'll pop another bottle
preach to the jah
that the revolution's coming
we'll take it to the streets
we'll pop another bottle
& i'm so fucking drunk

i guess i know just what i loved
it was the flights, it was the landings
and the hallway to cross
back with you - where i belong
it was the wind from elsewhere
a northern italian summer breeze
it was the cafés and the foreign cigarettes
very expensive - but no regrets
and i've got the caffeine jitters
and i'm feeling shite
i can't begin to explain
my french is not that good
je comprends rien du tout
et je suis tellement crevé
mais j'arrive pas à dormir
and i can't recall any of the things we've said last night
although i vaguely remember something
about changing the world?
what the fuck was that all about then?!
and yeah, i got carried away
i was blinded by ashtray kisses on new year's day
and i think we talked of revolution
and your nightmares which are our dreams
and how we'd take it to the streets
so yeah, i suppose you could say
i got carried away - but still - but still -
prepare to crash again
prepare to crash again
prepare to crash again

RUNNING DOWN THE STREETS
- yeah we're running down the streets
- we're out here dressed in black
- waiting for it to kick off
- yeah this city's under siege
NO SURRENDER NO RETREAT
pledged allegiance to the flag
prepared to take it in the grave
NO SURRENDER NO RETREAT
now the colours turned to grey
but pride & passion will always stay
we're marching down your city's streets
with pride & passion and violent greed
RUNNING DOWN THE STREETS
- yeah we're running down the streets
- we're out here dressed in black
- waiting for it to kick off
- yeah this city's under siege
NO SURRENDER NO RETREAT
tonight the streets are ours
this city's under siege
NO SURRENDER NO RETREAT

Death Death Death

hold on to the last bit of your sanity
is there a reason left for me to breathe
the air gets lighter when you try to speak
i cannot talk and the the voices are convincing me
I'VE GOT SECRETS AND THE WEIGTH OF 'EM IS DRAGGING ME DOWN
gave them a reason to give up on me
don't bother sleeping with anxiety
the pills i take is all there's left in me
i cannot feel a thing so why the fuck shouldn't i leave?!
I'VE GOT SECRETS AND THE WEIGTH OF 'EM IS DRAGGING ME DOWN
i've been taking some pills to save me
slowly burning
my time is running out
i'm all caught up in my mind
constantly running my mouth
i'm all caught up in distress
my shoulders carry thoughts i cannot trust
the door is shut
there's no hope for us
i've been looking for redemption with all i've got
(woke up and found a noose around my neck)
barely taking mistakes i'm making
(woke up and found a noose around my neck)
i've put myself on the gallows somehow
(woke up and found a noose around my neck)
the wind is breaking, the shore is flooded now
(woke up and found a noose around my neck)
oh please no, don't wanna die right now
WOKE UP AND FOUND A NOOSE AROUND MY NECK
DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!
WOKE UP AND FOUND A NOOSE AROUND MY NECK
DEATH! DEATH! DEATH! DEATH!
WOKE UP AND FOUND A NOOSE AROUND MY NECK
waste away in search for lies
i'm always making up my mind
i've been bleeding instead
controlling all these riots in my head
over and over again with the heat
10 years of pills
10 years on repeat

naked under leather
she drives up to me
whispers in my ear

just hold me tight
all the way long

UP AGAINST THE WORLD

i wanna disappear
completely of the surface of the earth
i wanna be completely unknown
solitary confinement is what i need
FEEL LIKE GETTING LOST IN
IN THE BIG BRIGHT CITY'S
CROWD OF THE HAPPY-GO-LUCKY
BRIGHT LIGHTS, BRIGHT LIGHTS BIG CITY
i wanna escape it all
for once not by means of alcohol
an abyss of nothingness
that's where i wanna go
FEEL LIKE GETTING LOST IN
IN THE BIG BRIGHT CITY'S
CROWD OF THE HAPPY-GO-LUCKY

what we were looking for
we've lost it long ago
while out having a good time
we're tired and we're weary
MESSED UP BOYS
OUT ON THE TOWN
WASTIN' AWAY
OUT ON THE TOWN
one place we can go
friday morning
dancing on our own
closing the bar
MESSED UP BOYS
OUT ON THE TOWN
WASTIN' AWAY
OUT ON THE TOWN
the night hasn't brought us
what we had hoped that it would bring
the night will never bring us
what we hope that it brings
one place we can go
friday morning
dancing on our own
sweating and drinking
closing the bar
brokenhearted
but united
out on the town
