1. _ Separated Out
Can you feel my skin
Can you feel my bones
Can you put my spine in plaster and take me home
So unpleasant inside and out
So unpleasant inside and out
If you like i'll tell you about it
You wouldn't want to know
My heads full of water
Tears i never cried
Could you hold me under the shower
In the cold outside
So unsteady inside and out
So unsteady inside and out
If you like i'll tell you about it
You wouldn't want to be
Separated out
Separated out
Separated out
I need medical attention
Where's my memory gone
Everything i told you - including this,
I already forgot
Separated out
From the living stream
The thing that couldn't lie straight
Straight in the machine
So unstable inside and out
Don't know how much longer i'll take it
If you like i'll sell you a ticket
Or you can get in for free
Am i enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see
Am i enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see
Can you feel my skin
Can you feel my bones
Can you put my spine in plaster and take me home
Can you kiss my face
Let me know it's there
Can you give it shape
Can you kinda care
Am i enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see
Enough of a freak
To be worth paying to see
Enough
Enough
They're pointing and laughing
They're pointing and laughing at me

2. _ The Fruit Of The Wild Rose
I can imagine nothing more tedious
Than trying to have fun with you again
Maybe it's just something in my mind
But i hate feeling like i'm trying all the time
It's a kind of lie
When we pretend that we're still friends
I'm sure you're not exactly short of people to
Hang out and laugh at your jokes
Tell you you look great
You wouldn't want me around
Making it all feel "forced "
..and "put down"
And every time i smile to wonder if i'm laughin' at you
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'
Just exactly what it is i'm taking pleasure in
Although i always said
We were basically the same and all one
All one
It's so easy to persuade myself
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
I guess that irony
Will surely be
The death of me
And every time i smile d'you wonder if i'm laughin' at you?
And with every little grin you don't want to be wonderin'..
Although i always said
We were basically the same and all one
All one
It's so easy to persuade myself
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
You're only happy when you wind me up and i know
You're so reliable it isn't true
And it's so easy for me to break down
If i could jump a ride between the skin and silicon then
We could join hands and understand. hallelujah!
But i listen
To the ticking
I guess we're worlds apart ...
It's so hard
So hard
I know there's no going back
And you know there's no going back
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
You're only happy when you're oiled and jewelled
You're never happy
I need maintenance
I need patience
I'm not foolproof
I'm not waterproof
I'm not shockproof
Bombproof
Bulletproof
Fireproof
Leakproof
Childproof
Stainproof
Pressureproof
I know i told myself
We're all basically the same and all one all one
Y'know sometimes i just can't help myself
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
I'm clockwork and you're quartz
I know i never get the balance right
And turn up half an hour late night after night
And being totally dependable is so very commendable
Although you're never wrong
One of these days.. you're just gonna stop.

3. _ When I Meet God
Goodnight my love
I'm so alone
And so surrounded
By your sweet memory
I cannot sleep
For all these dreams
They come to play
Till dawn comes stealin' them away..
The fruit of the wild rose
Hangs here with summer gone
Voluptuous crimson
As the days become colder
The fruit of the wild rose
In a warmer country
Where the sea meets the land
You may walk with your baby
In the afternoon
Perhaps some aroma
From a street caf |
4. _ Quartz
Today! i saw music in the sky
I drove towards it in my car
And i turned left and i turned right
But i could never lose the light
That shines towards tomorrow night
Who can say what it means?
What goes on in between
And what gets in between
It's just somethin'
Between you and me
Between you and me
Between you and me
It's as sweet as can be.
Today! i saw music in the sky
It sang around me. i went blind.
Like a masterpiece in a disguise
Couldn't stop it pulling at my eyes
Who can say what it means
What goes on in between
And what gets in between
Ice and fire
Between you and me
Between you and me
Sweet as can be
Between you and me
Monday.. tuesday.. blow a fuse day
Fix it in the usual way
Meet me at the church and we'll get in a state
Stay up late and i'll wake up feeling like
A kid swingin' on heavens gate
With no god to complain
Or point the finger of blame
We'll get it all down on video 8
You comin' out to play?
Could be quite a day...
And i sang that pretty tune
An open airy song
And my heart looped the loop
Well i could do no wrong.
Who can say what it means?
What goes on in between
Who can say what you see
And what gets in between you and me
Between you and me
Sweet as can be
Between you and me.

5. _ Between You And Me
(...if you could only see what i've seen with your eyes)
A wise man once said
A flower is only
A sexual organ
Beauty is cruelty
And evolution
A wise man once said
That everything could be explained with mathematics
He had denied
His feminine side
Now where is the wisdom in that?
I came just as fast as i could
Through the dirty air
Of your neighbourhood
Your name on a grain of rice
Hangin' around my neck
And a head like lead
This is the 21st century
I heard everything they said
The universe demystified
Chemicals for god
This is the 21st century
I heard everything they said
A wise man once wrote
That love is only
An ancient instinct
For reproduction
Natural selection
A wise man once said
That everything could be explained
And it's all in the brain
We lay on a velvet rug
By the open fire
She blew air on my eyelids
I cried "what's it all about?"
As she kissed my hair
She said "there, there.."
"this is the 21st century
I heard everything you said
The universe demystified
Astronomy instead
This is the 21st century
Can't you get it through your head
This aint the way it was meant to be
Magic isn't dead
Come to bed
Come to bed
And rest your heavy head my love.."
And slowly, from above,
She showed the answer's something that can't be written down
This is the 21st century
Flash to crash and burn
Nobody's gonna give you anything
For nothing in return
There's a man up in a mirrored building
And he just bought the world
Would you want
To have kids
Growing up
Into what's left of this?
She shook her head,
She said "can't you see?
The world is you
The world is me."

6. _ If My Heart Were A Ball It Would Roll Uphill
And if the bottle's no solution
Why does it feel so warm
And if that girl is no solution
Why did she feel so warm
And if to feel is no solution
Why do i feel
Why do i feel so tired
Why do i feel so broken
Why do i feel so outside
Why do i seem so blind
I'm so sick of feeling
It's ruined my life
If living rough is no solution
Why does it ease my mind
If looking back is no solution
Why are we all
Nothing but children
Children inside
Why do the gods
Sit back and watch
So many lost
What kind of mother
Leaves a child in the traffic
Turning tricks in the dark
What kind of god?
I crawled around inside myself
It was a long way down
It was a mine and it was mine
And in the darkness
I saw a perfect mirror
Floating in space
When i meet god
I'm going to ask her
What makes her cry
What makes her laugh
Is she just stars and indigo gas
Does she know why
Love has no end
But it's dark-angel friend
Tearing women and men
Slowly apart
Stain
Don't do that
Scream
Don't do that
Fail
Never do that
Never do that
I want to go out
Don't do that
I want an adventure
Just stay..
I want
Just stay in
I want to make love
And if the bottle's no solution
Why does it feel so warm
And if looking back is no solution
Why are we all just children inside
And if to feel is no solution
Why does the whole damn world feel so broken
So outside and out-of-sorts
A perfect mirror
Floating in space
Waves and numbers
But oh, such beautiful numbers
And oh, such waves..

7. _ Map Of The World
You sound truly heartbroken
You can do it. you're a pro
Agony from every pore. and such control
The orchestra swoops and the drum samples roll
You hold the high scream into the key change for the outro
It's another number one
And that's exactly where you're comin' from
But can you play me a song
For the deliberate loser
Like an olympic ice skater you've put in the hours
Learned the routines and the high scoring loops
And even before you sing the sweet opening line
You're know that you're scorin at least 5.9
Here come the flowers
I saw them gathered all around you
Hangin' on your every word
You were telling them you're masterplan
World domination
... any way you can
Don't you ever wonder if this will to win is a weakness?
Don't you ever wonder...

8. _ Number One
Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever fall in love
Did you ever dream of falling
If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill
We are alone in the world
We must do what we feel we should
We are told what is right
Need hurts within us
We can see sense
We can feel what feels right
And so often
All these things are not at all the same
They're not at all the same
If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill
If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill
Did you ever dream of running
And find you couldn't move
Did you ever dream of running
Running scared
Ankle deep in glue
With the monster after you
And it's catching up
Monsters catching up
And it's catchin' up and you're going nowhere
And you're slowin' up and you can't wake up
And it's catchin' up
And you're going nowhere wake up wake up
You're falling..
If my heart were a ball
It would roll uphill
Did you ever see a shadow
Cast against your bedroom wall
Crooked shadow in the lamplight
Ten feet tall
Did you ever dream of falling
And find you couldn't move
Did you give up.
And discover that you haven't given up
Did you ever dream of falling
Did you ever fall in love
Hard ball dream love now roll
Fall clown stain truth space time
Race give black white all one
Church state god fast as i could cry
Laugh hide feel no clouds will
To win sweet seed you me
Hard ball dream love now roll
Fall clown stain truth space time
Never do that, never do that
Will to win, will to win, never do that
Give black white all one wild
Church state now roll
Fall clown stain truth space time
Race fruit
Give
Never do that
If my heart were a ball it would roll uphill
All one insane wild sweet heart
Wild rose
Did you ever fall in love?..

9. _ This Is The 21st Century
Watching the people on the street today she couldn't help but smile
Watchin' the town go walking by all shaded eyes and alibis
Strange how much pain you can hide away beneath a well-cut suit
This is the day she walks away
And the lights of the city pushin' a good time
Asking her out tonight
But she's saving her money for a better life
She's got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
She's got a map of the world
She's gonna go and see it all
She's gonna see it all
Watchin the people on the street today
Such a lonely sight
'swore she could see their dreams go by
All cars and stars and buy buy buy
Runnin on empty runnin to stand still
No time for their own lives
Sleepwalking through the danger signs
And it feels a little scary
A little runaway
Letting go of all she's done
And the lights of the city, well they're all singin'
Buy some of this, cmon
But when you lie to yourself
You lie to everyone
She's got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
She's got a map of the world
She's gonna go and see it all
She's gonna see it all
She'll empty the sand from her shoes
In paradise
Sail out across the bay
She'll dance under an island sky
Until the break of day
She's got a map of the world
Pinned up on her wall
It's such a beautiful world
Glistening and magical
She's got a map of the world
Shining away in her mind
Colouring-in her life
This is the day she walks
She's gonna see it all
She's gonna breathe it all
Paris london new york
She's gonna see it all
