A Little Death
01:58
|
|||
Resolution, it’s time to win
Absolution, forgiving your sin
Execution, it’s time for a little death
Evolution, it’s time to die
Andalusian, blade in the eye
Lilliputian, it’s time for a little death
Time for a little death

Skeleton
02:59
|
|||
I am just a skeleton
A mess of flesh and bone
Waiting to die
See how I waste away
Memories decayed
Waiting to die
And when you get released
There’s nothing underneath
A calcifying, bleached and dying coral reef
Skeleton, skeleton, skeleton, you can’t contain me
Skeleton, skeleton, skeleton, you won’t restrain me
You'll be the death of me, if I don't get there first
Skeleton, skeleton
There must be more than this
Trapped in this bony prison
With faulty vision
Blood and shit and piss
Waiting to die

Sue / What were you thinking on all your yesterdays
Sue / I see your bones but I can’t see your face
I feel like I know you but I never will
Cos you’re on display on top of the hill
In a case of glass behind a velvet line
Sue / you were the queen of the dinosaurs until you died
Sue / All your dreams and desires fossilized
Sue / Sue / Sue
Sue / Can’t help my thinking that everything will die
Sue / One day I’ll join you, my family, friends and I
I feel like I know you and one day I will
When we’re both on display on top of the hill
In a case of glass behind a velvet line
Sue / you were the queen of the dinosaurs until you died
Sue / All your dreams and desires fossilized
Sue / Sue / Sue
You're just a skeleton, and so am I
I know you see me, eye to eye
Sue / you were the queen of the dinosaurs until you died
Sue / All your dreams and desires fossilized
Sue / Sue / Sue
Sue / What will they think at tomorrow’s break of dawn
Sue / Will I be put on display when I am gone

Feeling So Sexy
03:41
|
|||
Are you feeling sexy?
Are you feeling hot?
Cos we’re all feeling sexy
And we don’t care if you’re not
Are you feeling freaky?
Feeling amorous?
If you know what’s good for you
You’ll fuck each one of us
We’re all feeling so sexy
Sex is nothing special
Just something that we do
A horny game we’re playing
We want to play with you
So open your horizons
And open up your legs
You might think you’re happy
But we know we know best
We're all feeling so sexy
We’re all feeling so sexy
You know you want it, yeah
We got it, yeah
You want it, come and get it from us
We're all feeling so sexy

Make You Mine
03:16
|
|||
You’re standing in your underwear
The country wind is in your hair
Under echoes of a stranger’s whip
You clench your eyes and bite your lip
And I know in this moment
I wish I was that stranger man
And I don’t really know
Where anything is gonna go
But I know right now that I want to make you mine
You’re dancing by the fireside
Chaotic eyes opened so wide
Hoppin', jumpin', stamp your little feet
Battered, bruised, but never beat
And I know in this moment
I want to let the chaos in
And I don’t really know
Where anything is gonna go
But I know right now that I want to make you mine
Yes I know right now that I'm gonna make you mine
|

It’s a race, a race to be the first
First place, strain until you burst
Make haste, muscle through the pain
It's a waste, run laps around the drain
Running round in circles with your head cut off, you got fifteen seconds to live
When you’re running off a cliff, even dying is competitive
You want more, more life, more love
But more, more, more, more is never enough
Get up, catch the worm and kill the whale
Don’t stop, you’ll be doomed to fail
Destiny, you can’t outrun your fate
Entropy, yeah hurry up and wait
Running round in circles with your head cut off, you got fifteen seconds to live
When you’re running off a cliff, even dying is competitive
You want more, more life, more love
But more, more, more, more is never enough
More, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more
Relax
Take a break from what’s driving you
What’s driving you so mad
Take a break from what’s driving you
Oh, you
You’ll never be satisfied
No matter how hard you try
You’ll never be good enough
But good enough is good enough for me
Oh, you
Relax
Running round in circles with your head cut off, you got fifteen seconds to live
When you’re running off a cliff, even dying is competitive
You want more, more life, more love
But more, more, more, more is never enough

Spiralling Downward
03:24
|
|||
Trapped, beset by demons
Trapped inside my head
Such guilt and shame
For what I’ve done and said
Someday I’d say, I’ll finally feel alive
Someday I’d say, when judgement day arrives
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I’m looking for
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I need
She beheld the demons
And held them to her heart
She said “embrace the shame"
“Get down, let down your guard”
Someday, she’d say, you’ll reach for something new
Someday, she’d say, she’ll be there reaching too
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I’m looking for
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I need
Endorphins drained, there’s no tomorrow
From highest heights, we’re dropping fast
For a little death, Lady Macbeth will make you a monster
Role of a lifetime, recast
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I’m looking for
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I need
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I’m looking for
Spiralling downward
I finally found what I need

Final Species
03:56
|
|||
I had a dream / such a beautiful dream
A simpler world, a perfect place to rule supreme
I make a wish / a most humble wish
A place of peace and quiet, a void in an abyss
A final species
A final shape
An emptiness so pure, figure and landscape
We have a goal / such an elegant goal
Cut out the noise, cut out the life we can’t control
We make a plan / a most cunning plan
Pare down the weak, redundant, leaving only man
The final species
The final shape
An emptiness so pure, figure and landscape
I won’t atone
Who’d even cast a stone
Now we’re alone
Together in the gloam
The final species
The final shape
An emptiness so pure, figure and landscape
Final species
Final shape
Emptiness so pure, figure and landscape

The Best
03:00
|
|||
I'm a ticking time bomb
Primed and ready to blow
A hundred thousand megatons
And I’m not just for show
I’m a long, thick shotgun
Loaded up and cocked
With one pull of my trigger
Your whole world’s gonna be rocked
I’m just better
I’m better than the rest
I’m just better
In fact I am the best
No one has my knowledge,
My style, my taste, my skill
My arms are deadly weapons
And I know how to kill
You think your guy’s so special?
He’s smart and sweet and fun?
I’m a legitimate genius!
It’s a race I’ve already won
I’m just better
I’m better than the rest
I’m just better
In fact I am the best
So sexy
So manly
So powerful
So holy
So perfect
So wonderful
I’m just better
I’m better than the rest
I’m just better
In fact I am the best

Picture Of A Boy
03:32
|
|||
His eyes are oh so bright
Taking in everything in sight
Four years old and nearly seven months
Future holding everything at once
See how his little eyes widen
As he gazes at the horizon
Like the sun this son is rising up
See how his little mouth's smiling
All those hours and days he's whiling
Not yet filled with pain, denial and woe, whoa
He’s a picture of a boy
Just a picture of a boy
What happened to that boy?
His eyes are oh so full of hope
Only at the start of his rope
Has no idea of what's to come
Just wants to play around and run
See how his little eyes widen
As he gazes at the horizon
Like the sun this son is rising up
See how his little mouth's smiling
All those hours and days he's whiling
Not yet filled with pain, denial and woe
Now he's grown up
Getting blown up
Sewn up again
He's abused
Confused
Used up again
He’s a picture of a boy
A picture of a boy
What happened to that boy?
He's a hollow of a man
A washed-up also-ran
Take him back where he began
His eyes are oh so bright
Taking in everything in sight
Four years old and nearly seven months
Future holding everything at once

Hurt You
03:52
|
|||
You told me all the things that they did to you
You hold me and say that’s what you want too
Your deepest, your darkest, your diarist desires
A shocking and sick surprise
You wanted me to hurt you
You wanted me to make you cry
Your scream turned to a sigh
You wanted me to hurt you
You wanted me to break you down
Turn your smile upside down
I told you all the things I could do to you
I sold you on the things that I wanted too
My deepest, my darkest, my direst desires
Stripped away from all the lies
You wanted me to hurt you
You wanted me to make you cry
Your scream turned to a sigh
You wanted me to hurt you
You wanted me to treat you rough
But I wasn’t quite enough
The pain in your hide
Controlled comfort inside
But that was skin deep at most
And there’s pain in my heart
As we drift apart
Your memory just a ghost
You wanted me to hurt you
You wanted me to make you cry
Your scream turned to a sigh
You wanted me to hurt you
You wanted it but not for long
Once lover, now you’re gone

Oh no - it’s a meaningless chime
Oh no - in the vastness of time
Just one moment, feels just like a month, whoa
One moment, when history hits you at once, whoa
Closing time / yeah time is closing in
Closing time / what was soon now is then
Oh no - see the pendulum swing
Oh no - three minutes / 200 seconds left to sing
Just one moment, pre peri and post
One moment, better make the most
Closing time / yeah time is closing in
Closing time / it’s the middle of the end
(Mono no aware)
Get dressed, get ready, take something for your head
It’s gonna be a hell of a night
You won’t know it’s over til its over
Closing time / yeah time is closing in
Closing time / everywhere everywhen
(Mono no aware)
Get dressed, get ready, take something for your head
It’s gonna be a hell of a night
You won’t know it’s over til its over
(Mono no aware)
You won’t know it’s over til its over
You won’t know it’s over til its over
If you don’t blow it, you won’t know it’s over til it’s over

Marianas
02:53
|
|||
Can't get no lower than the MARIANAS
Loop round again, hate yourself
Drift down again, dangerous health
Sink low, so low, you’re cursed
There’s always room to get worse
You can’t get no lower than the MARIANAS
Wasted again, unemployed
Peek out again, paranoid
Drink in, breathe deep, consume
Given to giving in to gloom
You can’t get no lower than the MARIANAS
Can’t get no lower than the…?
Can you go lower than the...?
Pushing through straight to hell
I wanna go back to the MARIANAS

World Of Warcrimes
04:58
|
|||
We’re in a world of warcrimes
A world of warcrimes
All warcrimes great and small
A world where sinners
Are crowned the winners
The Lord God made them all
See the sunrise in vermillion skies
It’s a morning warning to heed
See them commence with their dollars and cents
Rising high on Great War machines
And the dead shall serve as fuel for the fire that lights our way
The fire that lights our way
See the sunburn and the seven seas churn
And animals blot out the sky
See them continue rake in their revenue
And laugh as they watch us all die
And in the shadow of the valley, sheltered in the shade
We shelter in the shade
We’re in a world of warcrimes
A world of warcrimes
Of warcrimes then and now
Crimes of the past
Won’t be the last
They're crimes that we allow
See the sunset on unpayable debt
To the husk that you’re destined to haunt
See them drive back to the children they smack
And they wish they drowned in the font
And in the dark, there’s precious little hope, but we hold on
We’re hanging on for life
In a world of warcrimes
A world of warcrimes
A future left in doubt
Your final breath
A little death
One last pleasure, one last shout
It's time for a little death
