AIRBAG In The Next World War In a Jacknifed Juggernaut I am born again In the neon sign scrolling up and down I am born again In an intastella burst I am back to save the universe In a deep, deep sleep of the innocent I am born again In a fast German car I'm amazed that I survivedA n airbag saved my life In an intastella burst I am back to save the universe In an intastella burst I am back to save the universe In an intastella burst I am back to save the universe PARANOID ANDROID Please could you stop the noise I'm tryin to get some rest From all the unborn chicken voices in my head What's that? What's that? When I am king you will be first against the wall With your opinions which are of no consequence at all What's that? What's that? Ambition makes you look pretty ugly Kicking screaming gucci little piggy You don't remember, you don't remember Why don't you remember my name? Off with his head man, off with his head! Why won't he remember my name? I guess he does Rain down Rain down Come and rain down on me From a great height, From a great haaaeeeeeiii haaaaeeeeeiiii Rain down, Rain down, Come and rain down on me, From a great height, From a great aaaaaeeeeee 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 forgetting 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 High up above aliens hover Making home movies for the folks back home Of all of these weird creatures who lock up their spirits Drill holes in themselves and live for their secrets. They're all uptight, uptight Uptight, uptight Uptight, 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'd tell all my friends but they'd never believe me They'd think that I've finally lost it completely I'd show them the stars and the meaning of life They'd shut me away But I'd be alright Alright I'm alright Alright I'm just uptight, uptight Uptight, uptight Uptight, uptight Uptight, uptight EXIT MUSIC (FOR A FILM) Wake from your sleep And dry all your tears Today we escape We escape Pack and get dressed Before your father hears us Before all Hell breaks loose Breathe, keep breathing Don't loose 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 spineless 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 LET DOWN Transport Motorways and tramlines Starting and then stopping Taking off and landing The emptiest of feelings Disappointed people Clinging onto bottles When it comes it's so so disappointing Let down and hanging on 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 gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around You knowYou know where you are with You know where you are with Floor collapses floating bouncing back And one day you'll know where you are One day I am gonna grow wings A chemical reaction Hysterical and useless Hysterical and let down and hanging around Crushed like a bug in the ground Let down and hanging around KARMA POLICE Karma police arrest

associate employee contemporaries At ease Eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats) A patient better driver A safer car (baby smiling in back seat) Sleeping well (no bad dreams) No paranoia Careful to all animals (no washing spiders down the plughole) Keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then) Will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in wall) Favours for favours Fond but not in love Charity standing orders On Sunday ring road supermarket No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants Car wash (also on sundays) No longer afraid of the dark Or midday shadows Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate Nothing so childish At a better pace Slower and more calculated No chance of escape Now self-employed Concerned (but powerless) An empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism) Will not cry in public Less chance of illness Tyres that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat) A good memory Still cries at a good film Still kisses with saliva No longer empty and frantic Like a cat Tied to a stick That's driven into Frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness) Calm Fitter, healthier and more productive A pig In a cage On antibiotics ELECTIONEERING I will stop I will stop for nothing Say the right things When electioneering I trust I can rely on your vote When I go forwards You go backwards Somewhere we will meet When I go forwards You go backwards And somewhere we will meet Riot shields Voodoo economics It's just buisiness Cattle prods and the IMF I trust I can rely on your vote When I go forwards You go backwards Somewhere we will meet When I go forwards You go backwards And 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 inside 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 till 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 best when the light is not on It's always better on the outside 15 blows to the back of the head So lock the kids up safe tonight And shut the eyes in the cupboard, Do not cry out or hit the alarm You'll get the loneliest feeling 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 you 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 carbon monoxide No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises Silent Silent This is my final fit My final 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 alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises No alarms and no surprises please LUCKY I'm on a roll I'm on a roll This time I feel my luck could change Kill me Sarah Kill me again With
