Silence

I was locked in my room (in silence)
Building hell in a cave (in silence)
I was searching my tomb (in silence)
For the one thing I crave (silence)
I was sick in a hole (in silence)
Til I heard not a sound (silence)
Then it lit up my soul (silence)
When I finally found (silence)
In silence we creep
In silence we sleep
In silence we dream
In silence we scream
I was counting the cost (of silence)
Adding sound upon sound (in silence)
It was you that I lost (in silence)
It was then that I found (silence)
Now I try not to cry (in silence)
In case it destroys (the silence)
I shout at the sky (in silence)
Above all the noise (in silence)
In silence we walk
In silence we talk
In silence we speak
In silence we shriek
I was reading instructions
On how to build a fire
Meanwhile all around me
Flames got higher and higher

I’m gonna make - I’m gonna make - I’m gonna make a big decision
I’m gonna be - I’m gonna be - I’m gonna be on television
Don’t care what I have to do
Don’t care what I have to say
Don’t need any supervision
‘Cause I’m gonna be on television.
I’m gonna be - I’m gonna be - I’m gonna be in a competition
I’m gonna play - I’m gonna play - I’m gonna play like Joy Division
Don’t care what I have to do
Don’t care what I have to say
Don’t need anyone’s permission
‘Cause I’m gonna be on television.
I’m gonna be - I’m gonna be - I’m gonna be on television
I’ve got 20 - I’ve got 20 - I’ve got 20 20 vision
Don’t care what I have to do
Don’t care what I have to say
Don’t walk out in intermission (‘cause)
‘Cause I’m gonna be on television.

Don't Know Why
03:18
|
|||
|
It reads real good when I read it
It feels so good when I feel it
But I don’t know why.
I don’t believe it ‘cause I’ve been deceived before
Take it or leave it, I won’t be deceived no more
It sounds so good when I hear it
It looks so good when I’m near it
But I don’t know why.
I don’t believe it ‘cause I’ve been deceived before
Take it or leave it, I won’t be deceived no more
And I don’t know why.
I don’t believe it.

We

We, we come here frequently
And we, we come here peacefully
Generations thrown into space
Seeking somebody warm to embrace
He told me something I didn't quite understand.
You, you said you needed help
Your world, was like a cheap hotel
Generations shit in their nest
Generations put to the test
I think he showed us somewhere better to land.

It’s the beginning of the song,
And if you want to sing along,
You’ll only get it wrong,
So don’t fuck with it,
Don’t fuck with it.
This is just another verse,
But I’m afraid it’s getting worse
‘Cause we just don’t rehearse
We don’t fuck with it,
Don’t fuck with it.
We change the mood so it won’t bore us,
‘Cause we don’t even have a chorus.
Now we’re running out of words
And the song’s become a dirge
But it can’t get any worse
Don’t fuck with it
Don’t fuck with it
We told the booker there’d be plenty
But it looks like there is less than twenty.
Now it’s the middle of the song
And it’s gone on way too long

Anything

If I said left (Don’t need it that bad)
Then you’d say right (Don’t need it that bad)
And we’d be driving (Don’t need it that bad)
Around all night (Don’t need it that bad)
And I don’t (Don’t need it that bad)
Don’t need anything that bad.
Whispering neighbours (Don’t need it that bad)
Left and right (Don’t need it that bad)
Pluck us from (Don’t need it that bad)
The real delight (Don’t need it that bad)
And I don’t (Don’t need it that bad)
Don’t need anything that bad.
Glasses glued (Don’t need it that bad)
Against the wall (Don’t need it that bad)
Keep us from (Don’t need it that bad)
Our daily chores (Don’t need it that bad)
And I don’t (Don’t need it that bad)
Don’t need anything that bad.

It's Time
02:38

Time to reflect, divulge and dissect, it's time
Time to unwind, to lose and to find, it's time
Time to rebuild, holes to be filled, it's time
Time to acknowledge and take out the garbage, it's time
It's time for self improvement.
Time for a change, to rearrange, it's time
Time to let go, time to go slow, it's time
Time to move on and finish this song, it's time
Time to say yes, and clean up the mess, it's time
It's time for self improvement.

Verch'l

I got life, I need hope,
I got enemies, I need soap,
I got cool, I need warm,
I got ideas, I need form.
But it’s verch’l, almost as good as the real thing.
I got hopes, I need dreams,
I got plans, I need schemes,
I got you, I need me,
I got two, I need three.
But it’s verch’l, almost as good as the real thing.
And I don’t need any kinda flotsam and jetsam
But I will if you’re gonna go out and get some
And I don’t think it‘s gonna be any kinda problem
If you do and I find that I’ve already got'em….

Let me come in from the rain so we can talk a while,
Let me try to explain, maybe raise a smile.
Can I come in from the cold, we can sit next to the fire,
Don’t believe what you’ve been told, everyone’s a liar.
All I want is hangtime with my overlover,
Hangtime with my overlover,
Hangtime with my overlover,
Here in Togetherland.
It’s the way I remember, how we used to be,
You saying never, ever again; me being just me.
So let me come in from the rain and forgive me,
Spare us both the pain and give me

I’m not a mountain you have to climb
I’m not a river you have to swim
I’m not a road you have to travel
I’m not a battle you have to win.
One man’s ceiling is another man’s floor,
One man has and the other wants more, you see.
I’m not a mountain you have to climb
I’m not a river you have to swim
I’m not a road you have to travel
I’m not a battle you have to win.
One man’s standard is another man’s goal,
Once you’re born you just get old, you see.
