Title
- you can force it but it will not come.
- you can taste it but it will not form.
- you can crush it but it's always here.
- you can crush it but it's always near
- chasing you home
- saying everything is broken
- everyone is broken.
- you can force it but it will stay stung.
- you can crush it as dry as a bone.
- you can walk it straight home from school.
- you can kiss it you can break all the rules
- but still everything is broken,
- everyone is broken.
- why can't you forget?
- where do we go from here?
- the words are coming out all wierd
- where are you now when i need you?
- alone on an aeroplane
- falling asleep against the window pane
- my blood will THICKEN.
- i need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
- i'd be scared that there's nothing underneath
- and who are my real friends?
- have they all got the bends?
- am i really sinking this low?
- my baby's got the bends
- we don't have any real friends
- i'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
- talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
- and i wish it was the sixties
- i wish i could be happy
- i wish
- i wish
- i wish that something would happen..
- where do we go from here?
- the words are coming out all wierd
- where are you now when i need you?
- they brought in the CIA
- the tanks and the whole marines to blow me away
- to blow me sky high.
- my baby's got the bends
- we don't have any real friends
- i'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on
- talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen
- and i wish it was the sixties
- i wish i could be happy
- i wish
- i wish
- i wish that something would happen
- i want to live and breathe
- i want to be part of the human race
- HEr green plastiC wateringcan for her fake chineserubberplant
- in the fake plastic earth.
- that she bought from a rubber man in a town full of rubber PlanS
- to get rid of itself,- it wears her out.
- SHe lives with a broken man,
- a cracked polystyreneman who just
- crumbles and burns.
- He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties but GRAVITY always
- wins and it wears him out.
- She Looks like the real thing.
- She tastes like the real thing,
- my fake plastic love.
- But I Can't Help The Feeling.
- I Could Blow Through The Ceiling.
- If I Just Turn And RUN.
- and it wears me out.
- If i could be who you wanted all the time..
- I don't wanna a be krippled kracked
- shoulders wrists knees and back
- ground to dust and ash
- crawling on all fours.
- when you've got to feel it in your bones.
- Now i can't climb the stairs
- pieces missing everywhere
- prozak painkillersss.
- when you've got to feel it in your bones.
- and i used to fly like Peter Pan
- all the children flew when i touched their hands.
- can't get the stink off,
- he's been hanging around for days.
- comes like a comet,
- suckered you but not your friends.
- one day he'll get to you,
- teach you how to be a holy cow.
- don't get my sympathy hanging out the 15th floor.
- you've changed the locks 3 times,
- he still comes reeling through the door.
- and soon he'll get to you,
- teach you how to get to purest hell.
- you do it to yourself you do
- and that's what really hurts is
- you do it to yourself just you,
- you and no-one else
- you do it to yourself.
- faith your driving me away
- you do it everyday
- you don't mean it but it hurts like HELL
- my brain says im receiving pain
- a lack of oxygen from my life sup[poRT
- my IrOn lUng.
- weRe too young to fall asleep
- too cynical to speak
- we are loosing it can't you tell?
- we scratch our eternal itch
- our twentieth century bitch and we are gratEful for our
- irOn lUng.
- suck suck your teenage thumb
- toilet trained anddumb
- (whe n the powrr runs out we'll just humm)
- this this is our new s=ong
- just like the last one
- a total w.a.s.t.e. of time.
- my
- irOn lUng.
- I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing
- Gown
- Well what am i to do?
- I know all the things around your head and what they do to
- You.
- What are we coming to?
- What are we gonna do?
- Blame it on the black star
- Blame it on the falling sky
- Blame it on the satellite that beams me home.
- The troubled words of a troubled mind i try to understand
- What is eating you.
- I try to stay awake but its 58hrs since that i last slept with
- You.
- What are we coming to?
- I just don't know anymore.
- I get on the train and I just stand about now that i don't think
- Of you.
- I keep falling over i keep passing out
- When i see a face like you.
- What am i coming to?
- Im gonna melt down.
- You bite
- Through
- The big wall
- The big wall
- Bites back
- You sit there
- And
- Sulk
- Sit there and
- Bawl
- You are so pretty
- When youre
- On your
- Knees
- Disinfected
- Eager
- To please
- Sometimes
- You sulk
- Sometimes
- You burn
- God rest
- Your soul
- When the
- Loving comes
- And we've
- Already gone
- Just like
- Your dad
- You'll never
- Change
- Each time it
- Comes
- It eats me
- Alive
- I try to
- Behave
- But it eats me
- Alive
- So i declare
- A holiday
- Fall asleep
- Drift away.
- Rows of houses all bearing down on me
- I can feel their blue hands touching me
- All these things in all positions
- All these things will one day take control
- And fade out again and fade out
- This machine will will not communicate these thoughts
- And the strain i am under
- Be a world child form a circle before we all go under
- And fade out again and fade out again
- Cracked eggs dead birds
- Scream as they fight for life
- I can feel death can see it's beady eyes
- All these things into frution
- All these things we'll one day swallow whole
- And fade out again and fade out again.
