Long time ago I waited for you
Down on my knees in consecration
Long time alone
Still waiting for you now
Hey you
Great pretender
Standing there
With blood on your hands
Oh
Long time ago I waited for you
Bound to believe in consequences
Time to atone
Don’t need to know you now
Hey you
Great pretender
Standing there
With blood on your hands
Hey you
Great defender
Standing there
With love in your hands
Oh
And I want you
To never let me out of your sight
Always take me home after midnight
It’s a dark delight
And I want you
To never let me out of your sight
Always take me home after midnight
It’s a dark delight
Hey you
Great pretender
Standing there
With blood on your hands
Hey you
Great defender
Standing there
With love in your hands
Oh
Saving me
Saving you
Saving everyone
Saving

This dirty truth
What do you want to believe?
Out of your hands into the voting machine
Just think about
Think about mmmmm
This filthy truth
What do you want to believe?
Putting your hands into the voting machine
Just think about
Think about mmmmm
You can stick me in the ground
Plant a cross for me
Say that you were lost and found
Save a soul for me
You can try and take the hill
Like a dead man walking
Bribe me with a bill
Keep it all
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
This burning truth
What do you want to achieve?
Counting your hands into the voting machine
Just think about
Think about mmmmm
Wave your placards in the air
You can march for me
Clap your hands as if you care
Make a fool of me
You can hide behind a wall
Wear a mask for me
You can fight another war
For democracy
Gonna cut you with a tax
Like a razor blade
Keep the corporations fat
Gonna keep you laid
Twist the law and break the strike
Dictator calling
The land of the free
Keep it all
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
The voting machine
If you want it then you have to promise me a future

Blow Them All To Pieces
05:14

I don't know ‘bout tomorrow
I know what’s today
Blow each other to pieces
You can't walk away
I don't know the answer
I don't know the truth
Blow each other to pieces
Is that what they’ll do
Their lies are repeated
Truth driftin’ away
Blow them all to pieces
I know what is happenin’
What more can I say
Blow each other to pieces
That's not the way
You are the hero
Desolation unwind
I walk through the needle
Nirvana to find
God really defeated
We have to rewind
Blow each other to pieces

This time is gonna be the last time
Is gonna be the last time that you see me
What you see is what you get
No need to smoke that cigarette
You truly are magnificent to me
Won’t you tell me everything
How you got that wedding ring
Why you gave your loneliness to me
This time is gonna be the last time
Is gonna be the last time that you see me cry
What you think is what you get
I live my life with no regret
It was a stroke of serendipity
Crazy waiting patiently
You shut me out so silently
What a waste I don’t forget a thing
This time is gonna be the last time
Is gonna be the last time that you see me cry
What you want is want is what you get
Use your words like a bayonet
Don’t believe the drunken word you say
A violin don’t pay the rent
All you do is circumvent
Need to feed your insecurity
This time is gonna be the last time
Is gonna be the last time that you see me
This time is gonna be the last time
Is gonna be the last time that you see me cry
See me cry
See me cry
See me cry
See me cry
See me cry
See me cry
See me cry

I tried to do my best
I gave you everything
Everything
No one can hurt you
You’ll never die
Hold you forever
Deep in my life
Everything

Shine The Light On Me
04:04
|
|

I look to a different story
One covered and crowned in glory
Without you the dark surrounds me
Makes me feel cold and lonely
You’re all that I want
You’re all that I need
Shine the light on me
Mechanical replication
The power of our creation
A lover that can’t embrace me
The truth is a light that blinds me
You’re all that I want
You’re all that I need
Shine the light on me
So what did you say now?
And what did you say?
You can’t be in love with her
Because you, you, you don’t, you don’t have me
You’re supposed to love me
You’re supposed to need me
I, I am your everything, don’t you know that?
‘Cause I am you, and you are me
The beauty of life surrounds me
You are the one that found me
Splendiferous isolation
You are my constellation
You’re all that I want
You’re all that I need
Shine the light on me
Shine the light on me
Shine the light on me
Shine the light on me

The Coat
04:05

You told me you were leaving
I asked you if you wanted your coat
Or are you gonna leave it behind?
You didn’t give a reason
You didn’t say a word
You just kept staring at your coat
Won’t you tell me something to make me feel alright
Won’t you give me something to take the edge off the bite
Your clothes felt unfamiliar
You looked the same but everything had changed
And it wasn’t the light
Won’t you tell me something to make me feel alright
Won’t you give me something to take the edge off the bite
‘Cos I don’t know where you go
What you need or do you know my name
I don’t wanna let you go
Let you feel like you’re alone
You are my life!
I love to watch you sleeping
You’re so beautiful
Warmed by the sunlight
Won’t you tell me something to make me feel alright
Won’t you give me something to take the edge off the bite

Mother

Ahhhhh
Mother, Mother, Mother can’t you see?
Mother, Mother can’t you see?
Can’t you see?
Can’t you see?

A part of me is broken
Only got yourself to blame
The profit and the preacher
Gonna make you great again
Don't get me started
This is what I say
I’m talkin’ about yeah
A part of me is broken
All about the great divide
Guilty book of promises
Dangerous and dirty lies
Don't get me started
This is what I say
I’m talking about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
A part of me is broken
Never gonna understand
The mighty fall together
Living in a wonderland
Don't get me started
This is what I say
I’m talking about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
Talkin’ about yeah
You’re somebody being someone else
And I will never know you
A parody of borrowed skin
A sequinned hat
A battered tin
Enamel flaking off your lips
From rusty words
And broken hinge
Bend the knee to polarising confusion
Stelliferous era of sparkling delight
What more do you need?
What more do you want?
The legacy of memory eroded by dementia
Replaced, replaced by the fallacy of eternal youth
In the flicker of an eye time will forget you ever existed and move along
With no teary heart or regretful dreams because time does not remember
It just moves forward like an iceberg through space
Cold hard darkness
And the planets spin, the planets tilt and one day the stars will all burn out
And the night will be forever dark
But for now we live!
