Creep

You

You are the sun and moon and stars are you

And I could never run away from you

You try at working out chaotic things

And why should I believe myself not you?

You say the world is going to end so soon

And why should I believe myself?

You me and everything caught in the fire

I can see me drowning

Caught in the fire

Creep

When you were here before, couldn't look you in the eye

You're just like an angel, your skin makes me cry

You float like a feather

In a beautiful world

And I wish I was special

You're so fucking special

But I 'm a creep, I 'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here

I don't belong here

I don't care if it hurts, I want to have control

I want a perfect body, I want a perfect soul

I want you to notice

When I'm not around

You're so fucking special

I wish I was special

She's running out again

She's running out ....

Whatever makes you happy

Whatever you want

You're so fucking special

I wish I was special...

But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo

What the hell am I doing here?

I don't belong here

I don't belong here.

How Do You?

He's bitter and twisted, he knows what he wants

He wants to be loved and he wants to belong

He wants us to listen, he wants us to weep

He was a stupid baby who turned into a powerful freak

But how do you?

He lives with his mother, but we show him respect

He's a dangerous bigot, but we always forget

And he's just like his daddy

Because he cheats on his friends

And he steals and he bullies

Anyway that he can

But how do you?

Stop Whispering

And the wise man say I don't want to hear your voice

And the thin man say I don't want to hear your voice

And they're cursing me, and they won't let me be

And there's nothing to say, and there's nothing to do

Stop whispering, start shouting

Stop whispering, start shouting

And my mother say we don't love you son no more

And the buildings say we spit on your face somemore

And the feeling is, that there's something wrong

'cause I can't find the words and I can't find the songs.

Stop whispering. start shouting

Stop whispering. start shouting

Dear Sir, I have a complaint can't remember what it is

Does'nt matter anyway...

Thinking About You

Been thinking about you, your records are here

Your eyes are on my wall your teeth are over there

But I'm still no one, and you're now a star

What do you care?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest

Should I still love you

Still see you in bed

But I'm playing with myself

And what do you care when the other men are far far better

All the things you got

All the things you need

Who bought you cigarettes?

Who bribed the company to come and see you, honey?

Been thinking about you

So how can you sleep?

These people aren't your friends

They're paid to kiss your feet

They don't know what I know

And why should you care when I'm not there?

What do you care?

Been thinking about you, and there's no rest

Should I still love you

Still see you in bed

But I'm playing with myself

And what do you care when I'm not there?

All the things you got, she'll never need

All the things you got, i'm played out and bleed to please you

Been thinking about you

Anyone Can Play Guitar

Destiny, destiny protect me from the world

Destiny, hold my hand protect me from the world

Here we are with our running and confusion,

And I don't see no confusion anywhere..

And if the world does turn

And if London burns

I'll be standing on a beach with my guitar

I wanna be in a band when I get to heaven

Anyone can play guitar

And they won't be a nothing anymore

Grow my hair, grow my hair I am Jim Morrison

Grow my hair, I wanna be wanna be wanna be Jim Morrison

Here we are with our running and confusion

And I don't see no confusion anywhere

Ripcord

Soul destroyed

With clever toys

For little boys

It's inevitable, inevitable

It's a soul destroyed

You're free until you drop

You're free 'til you've had enough

And you don't understand -

You've no ripcord

Aeroplane do I mean what I mean?

It's inevitable, inevitable,

Oh aeroplane

A thousand miles an hour

On politics and power that you don't understand

And no ripcord

The answer to your prayers

We'll drop you anywhere

With no ripcord.

Vegetable

I never wanted anything but this

I worked hard, tried hard

I ran around in domestic bliss

I fought hard, died hard

Every time you're running out of here

Every time you're running get the fear

I'm not a vegetable

I will not control myself

I spit on the hand that feeds me

I will not control myself

I never wanted any broken bones

Scarred face, no home

You words surround me and I asphyxiate

And I burn all hate

Every time you're running rout on me

Every time you're running I can see

The waters break, the waters run all over me

The waters break, the waters run

And this time your gonna pay

Prove Yourself

I can't afford to breath in this town

Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand

Hooked back up to my cathode ray

I'm better off dead

Prove Yourself

I wanna breath I wanna grow

I'd say I want it but I don't know how

I work, I bleed, I beg, I pray

But I'm better off dead

Prove Yourself

Why?

I Can't

Please forget the words that I just blurted out

It wasn't me it was my strange and creeping doubt

It keeps rattling my cage

And there's nothing in this world

Will keep it down.

I can't

So many things that keep, that keep me underground

So many words that I, that I can never find

If you give up on me now

I'll be gutted like I've never been before

Even though I might, even thought I try

I can't

If you give up on me now I'll be gutted like I've never been before.

Even though I might, even though I try

I can't...

Lurgee

I feel better, I feel better now you've gone

I got better, I got better, I got strong

I got better, I got better now there's nothing wrong

I got better, I got better, I got strong

Tell me something, tell me something I don't know,

Tell me one thing, tell me one thing, let it go

I got something, I got something heaven knows,

I got something, I got something I don't know

Blow Out

In my mind

And nailed into my heels

All the time

Killing what I feel

And everything I touch turns to stone

(all wrapped up in crinoline, all wrapped up in sugar-coated)

I am fused

Just in case I blow out

I am glued

Just in case I crack out

And everything I touch turns to stone

Everything I touch turns to stone

(all wrapped up in crinoline, all wrapped up in sugar-coated)

The Bends

Planet Telex

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 home straight 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?

The Bends

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

Cause 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 iwish that something would happen.

Where do we go from here?

The planet is a gunboat, in a sea of fear

And where are 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 iwish that something would happen..

I want to live and breath

I want to be part of the human race.

High and Dry

Two jumps in a week

I bet you think that´s pretty clever don´t you boy

Flying on your motorcycle.

Watching all the ground beneth you drop.

You´d kill yourself for recognition,

Kill yourself to never ever stop

You broke another mirror

You´re turning into something you are not.

Drying up in conversation

You will be the one who cannot talk.

All your insides fall to pieces.

You just sit there wishing you could still make love.

They´re the ones who´ll hate you

When you think you´ve got the world

All sussed out.

They´re the ones who´ll spit in you.

You will be the one screaming out.

It´s the best thing that you ever had .

Fake Plastic Trees

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

Bones

I don't wannt 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.

[ Nice Dream ]

They love me like i was a brother

They protect me

Listen to me

They dug me my very own garden

Gave me sunshine

Made me happy. nice dream.

I call up my friend the good angel

But she's out with

Her ansaphone

She says she would love to come help but

The sea would

Electrocute us all.

Nice dream.

( if you think that you're strong enough )

( if you think you belong enough. )

Nice dream

Just

Can't get the stink off,

He's been hanging round 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 lock 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.

My Iron Lung

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 support

My iron lung.

Were too young to fall asleep

Too cynical to speak

We are losing it can't you tell?

We scratch our eternal itch

Our twentieth century bitch and we are greatful for our

Iron lung.

The Headshrinkers,

They want everything,

My uncle Bill,

My Belisha Beacon.

Suck suck your teenage thumb

Toilet trained and dumb

When the power runs out

We'll just humm

This this is our new song

Just like the last one

A total w.a.s.t.e of time.

My iron lung.

Bullet Proof ... I Wish I Was

Limb by limb and tooth by tooth

Tering up inside of me

Everyday everyhour wish that I was bullet proof.

Wax me

Mould me heat the pins

And stab them in you have turned me into this

Just wish that it was bullet proof.

So pay me money nd take a shot lead-fill

The hole in me

I could burst a million bubbles

All surrogte & bullet proof

Black Star

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?

I'm gonna melt down.

Sulk

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.

Street Spirit [ Fade Out ]

Rows of houses all bearing down on me

I can feel their blue hands touching me

All these things will one day take control

And fade out again and fade out

This machine 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

Immerse your soul in LOVE.

Ok Computer

Airbag

In the next world war

In a jackknifed juggernaut

I am born again

In the neon sign

Scrolling up and down

An airbag saved my life

In an intastella burst

I am back to save the universe

In a deep deep sleep

Of the innocent completely terrified

I am born again

In a fast german car

I'm amazed that I survived

An airbag saved my life

In an interstellar burst

I am back to save the universe

In an interstellar burst

I am back to save the universe

Paranoid Android

Please could you stop the noise i'm trying to get some rest

From all the unborn chicken voices in my head

What's there

What's there

( my name is paranoid.... i am android )

When i am king you will be first against the wall

With your opinion which is of no consequence at all

What's there

What's there

( my name is paranoid.... i am android )

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly

Kicking squealing gucci little piggy

You don't remember

You don't remember

Why don't you remember my name

Off with his head

Off with his head

Why don't you remember my name

I guess he does

Rain down

Rain down

Come on rain down

On me

From a great height

From a great height

Height

Height

Rain down

Rain down

Come on rain down

On me

From a great height

From a great height

Height

Height

That's it sir, you're leaving

The crackle of pig skin,

The dust and the screaming

The yuppies networking,

The panic, the vomit,

The panic, the vomit,

God loves his children,

God loves his children

Yeah!

Subterranean Homesick Alien

The breath of the morning

I keep forgetten

The smell of the warm summer air

I live in a town

Where you can't smell a thing

You watch your feet

For cracks in the pavement

Up above

Aliens hover

Making home movies

For the folks back home

Of all these weird creatures

Who lock up their spirits

Drill holes in themselves

And live for their secrets

They're all uptight.......

I wish that they'd swoop down in a country lane

Late at night when I'm driving

Take me onboard their beautiful ship

Show me the world as I'd love to see it

I tell all my friends

But they'd never believe me

They'd think that I'd finally lost it completely

I'd show them the stars

And the meaning of life

They'd shut me away

But I'll be all right

All right

I'm just uptight.....

Exit Music (For A Film)

Wake from your sleep

And dry off your tears

Today we escape

We escape

Pack and get dressed

Before your father hears us

Before all hell breaks lose

Breathe keep breathing

Don't lose your nerve

Breathe keep breathing

I can't do this alone

Sing us a song

A song to keep us warm

There's such a chill

Such a chill

You can laugh

A spinless laugh

We hope your rules and wisdom choke you

Now we are one in everlasting peace

We hope that you choke that you choke

We hope that you choke that you choke

We hope that you choke that you choke

We hope that you choke that you choke

Let Down

Transport, motorways and tramlines

Starting and then stopping

Taking off and landing

The emptiest of feelings

Disappointed people

Clinging on to bottles

And when it comes its so

Ao disappointing

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed

Juices flowing

Wings twitch

Legs are going

Don't get sentimental

It always ends up drivel

One day, i am going to grow wings

A chemichal reaction

Hysterical and useless

Hysterical and

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

You know where

You know where you are with

You know where you are with

Floor collapes

Floating bouncing back

And one day

You'll know where you are

Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground

Let down and hanging around

Karma Police

Karma Police,

Arrest this man

He talks in maths

He buzzes like a fridge,

He's like a detuned radio

Karma Police

Arrest this girl

Her hitler hairdo

Is making me feel ill

And we have crashed her party.

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

When you mess with us.

Karma Police,

I've given all I can,

It's not enough,

I've given all I can,

But we're still on the payroll.

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

This is what you get,

When you mess with us.

And for a minute there,

I lost myself I lost myself,

Phew, for a minute there,

I lost myself I lost myself,

And for a minute there,

I lost myself I lost myself,

Phew, for a minute there,

I lost myself I lost myself.

You go backwards,

Somewhere we will meet.

Cattle prods and the IMF

I trust i can rely on your vote

I go forwards,

You go backwards,

Somewhere we will meet.

Climbing Up The Walls

I am the key to the lock in your house

That keeps your toys in the basement

And if you get too far

You'll only see my reflection

I am your face when she sleeps tonight

I am the pick in the ice

Do not cry or hit the alarm

We are friends til we die

And either way you turn,

I'll be there

Open up your skull,

I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

It's always better when the light is off

It's always better on the outside

The crack of your waning smile

15 blows to the skull

So tuck the kids in safe tonight

And shut the eyes in the cupboard,

Do not cry out or hit the alarm

You'll get the loneliest that

Either way you turn,

I'll be there

Open up your skull,

I'll be there

Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls

Climbing up the walls

No Surprises

A heart

That's full up like a landfill

A job that slowly kills yo

Bruises that won't heal

You look so tired and happy

Bring down the government

They don't

They don't speak for us

I'll take a quiet life

A handshake

Some carbonmonoxide

No alarms and no surprises

No alarms and no surprises

No alarms and no surprises

Silent,

Silent

This is my final fit

My fianl bellyache with

No alarms and no surprises

No alarms and no surprises

No alarms and no surprises please

Such a pretty house and such a pretty garden

No more alarms and no surprises

No more alarms and no surprises

No more alarms and no surprises please

Lucky

Kill me Sarah

Kill me again. ...with love.

It's gonna be a glorious day.

Pull me out of the aircrash,

Pull me out of the lake,

Cause I'm your superhero

We are standing on the edge

The head of state has called for me by name

But i don't have time for him

It's gonna be a glorius day

I feel my luck could change

Pull me out of the aircrash,

Pull me out of the lake,

Cause I'm your superhero

We are standing on the edge

We are standing on the edge

The Tourist

It's barks at no-one else but me

Like it's seen a ghost

I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowin

No-one else would know

Hey man, slow down

Slow down

Idiot, slow down

Slow down

Sometimes I get over charged

That's when you see sparks

They ask me where the hell I'm going

A thousand feet per second

Hey man, slow down

Slow down

Idiot, slow down

Slow down

Hey man, slow down

Slow down

Idiot, slow down

Slow down
