Well That Was Easy

Well that was easy waiting

Everything’s easy now

The days are Oh So Normal

But oh, Hannah

how I miss you

Now

 

I used to lock myself in your bathroom

Swallowing the codeine kept for your back

Numb, so numb

I’d let your words

Come and come

So come on – 

Kill me now

Kill me now

Kill me now

Because I’m leaving you now

 

That was easy, but how I miss you

Now

 

I watched you clean the filth off your phone dial

Swallowing the things your finger picked up

Tongue, your tongue

I watched your tongue licking on

Eeuuw

So come

Come on tongue

Ah, come on tongue

Kill me now

Kill me now

Kill me now

As I’m leaving you now

 

That was easy, but how I miss you

Outsiders

We’ve seen some change

But we’re still outsiders

If everybody’s here

Then hell knows

We ride alone

 

I’ve seen some years

But you’re still my Caesar

With everything I feel

I feel you’ve already been here

 

The only difference is all I see is now all that I’ve seen

 

It’s bright on the outside

The bright love the dark side

I know it’s obvious

But sometimes

You just have to say it

So you don’t feel so weak

About being such a freak

Or alone

 

In seventeen years

Will you still be Camille

Lee Miller, Gala or whatever

You know what I mean, yeah

 

Love’ll die

Lovers fade

But you still remain there

Squeezing in your fingers

What it means for me to be

 

The only difference is what might be is now what might have been

 

When you saw me sleeping

You thought I was dreaming of you

I didn’t tell you

That the only dream

Is Valium for me

 

The only difference is that

 

What Might Be Is NOW

Dream Again

Don’t be afraid if you hear voices

Or feel the sweet air 

Spoken upon you

Sometimes the sound 

Of a thousand 

Whispering words 

Of hope will reassure

Show me the future

Will see us join together 

If the oceans split 

Or the mountains sigh

Then I 

Will keep on dreaming

I live to dream again

 

Don’t be afraid if you’re descending

The deepest despairs

Without a handrail to guide you

Sometimes the sound 

of a thousand 

whispering words

Can confuse

But when you’re sleeping

They shift and slide together

Bring meaning

To the canyon’s cry

So I 

I keep on dreaming

I live to dream again

 

Sometimes the sound 

of a thousand 

whispers are where

you live a little fear

But feel the future

I feel us dream together

I feel no fear

I feel no fire

Oh I

I keep on dreaming

I live to dream again

Take Me Out

So if you’re lonely

You know I’m here 

Waiting for you

I’m just a cross-hair

Just a shot away from you

If you leave here

You leave me broken 

Shattered I lie

We’re just a cross-hair

Just a shotthen we can die

I know I won’t be leaving here

With You

 

I say don’t you know

You say don’t you know

I say take me out

 

I stay you don’t show

Don’t move time is slow

I say take me out

 

I say don’t you know

You say you don’t know

I say take me out

 

If I move this could die

If eyes move this could die

I want you to take me out

 

I know I won’t be leaving here

With you

 

I say don’t you know

You say you don’t know

I say take me out

 

If I wait this could die

If I wane this could die

I want you to take me out

 

If I move this could die

If eyes move this could die

Take me out

I know I won’t be leaving here

Auf Achse

You see her

You can’t touch her

You hear her

You can’t hold her

You want her

You can’t have her

You want to 

But she won’t let you

 

She’s not so special

So look what you’ve done boy

 

Now you wish she’d never

Come back here again

 

You see her 

You can’t touch her

You hear her

You can’t hold her

You want her

You can’t have her

You want to 

But she won’t let you

 

She’s not so special

So look what you’ve done Bob

 

Now I’m nailed above you

Gushing from my side

It’s with your sins

that you have killed me

Thinking of your sins I die

Thinking how You’d let them touch you

  How you’d never realise

That I’m ripped and hang forsaken

Knowing never will I rise

Again

You're The Reason I'm Leaving

Some granite wall

Numbs our bones, numbs our all

As we sit on skinny hands

Nothing to say, nothing at all

I don’t know you and I don’t want to

You’re so awkward just like me

But I don’t care

 

You’re the reason I’m leaving

 

I ‘d no idea that in four years

I’d be hanging from a beam

behind the door of number ten

Singing fare thee well

I am leaving

Yes I leave it all to you

 

You’re the reason I’m leaving

 

As we ride along under an optimistic sun

The radio sings that Everybody song by rem

And Here I Am Fighting Fighting

Yes I’m Fighting not to cry

And that’s another reason

Why I oughtta hate you like I do

Like I do

 

I’m the reason you’re leaving

Fresh Strawberries

We are fresh strawberries

Fresh burst of red strawberries

Ripe, turning riper in the bowl

We will soon be rotten

We will all be forgotten

Half remembered rumours of the old

 

Wouldn’t it be easy with

Something to believe in that could

Give us more

Than here’s my work

So where’s my pay

To buy what I don’t need?

Wouldn’t it be easy to believe?

 

Thieves believe

Everybody steals

I believe there’s nothing to believe

But I’d love the manual

The instruction manual

Oh, liars

Swear that they never lie

 

Wouldn’t it be easy with

Something to believe in that could

Give us more

Than here’s my years

So now they’re gone

It’s time for me to leave

Wouldn’t it be easy to believe?

 

We are fresh strawberries

Fresh burst of red strawberries

Ripe, turning riper – so…

 

Wouldn’t it be easy?

Something could give us more

But I don’t know

No I don’t know

I don’t know what I need

Wouldn’t it be easy

Couldn’t it be easy

Shouldn’t it be easy

Twilight Omens

I wrote your name upon the

Back of my hand

Slept upon it

Then I woke up

With it backwards on my face

Reading forwards from my mirror

To my heart

 

Twilight omens in my life

 

Then I hear your name

Hear the radio sing your name

Should I give you a call

What should I say?

Maybe you still feel the same?

 

I typed your number

Into my calculator

Where it spelled a dirty word

When you turned it upside down

You could turn my dirty world

The bright way round

 

Twilight omens in my life

 

Then I heard your name

Heard the radio sing your name

Should I give you a call

What could I say?

Maybe I still feel the same?

 

Twilight omens in my life

 

I keep hearing your name

I hear the radio sing your name

So sinister, so sinister but last night was wild

What’s the matter there? Feeling kind of anxious? Feeling that hot blood grow cold?

So far away

Come on I’ll take you far away

Let’s get away

Come on let’s make a get away

 

Once you have loved someone this much 

you doubt it could fade 

despite how much you’d like it to

God how you’d like it to fade

 

Let’s fade together

 

If we get away

You know we might just stay away

So stay awake

Why the hell should I stay awake?

When you’re far away

Oh god you are so far away

Saw that old passport photograph

I look like I’ve just jumped the Berlin Wall

Berlin I love you

I’m starting to fade

Live Alone

I want to live alone

Because the greatest love

Is always ruined by the bickering

The argument of living

So I’m want to live alone

I could be happy on my own

 

Live the rest of my life

With the vaguest of feeling

 

Wherever you are

Whoever is there

You know that I’ll be here

Wishing I could be there

 

So I’m going to live alone

I’m not saying that our love is the greatest

But I’m in love with you

Want to stay in love with you

So I’m going to live alone

Yeah I’ll be happy on my own

 

Live the rest of a life

In the vaguest of feeling

 

Wherever you are?

 

In nyc when 

I get in a taxi

I say ‘man’ to the driver so

He’ll think

Man! 

I can imagine

having a drink with that guy?

He’s alright?

 

Wherever you are?

Love Illumination

When you’re half way from a dream

Is it hard to work out what is real?

Is the real over there more vivid than here ever feels?

We could love

We could love you

If you need somebody to love you

While you’re looking for somebody to love

 

Sweet love illumination

Sweet love revelation

Outside fresh avaricide

But inside our love you’ll be alright

Sweet love illumination

Sweet sweet love celebration

Cop car burn

Reason turn

But inside our love you’ll be alright

 

Is the Blackpool bright light brighter than the light in your home

Were you born to be loved but nobody else seems to know

 

We could love

We could love you

If you need somebody to love you

While you’re looking for somebody to love

 

Sweet love illumination…

 

We could love

We could love you

If you need somebody to love you

While you’re looking for somebody

You don’t know I 

sing these songs 

about you

You don’t know the pseudonyms I assume

For you

 

Are you happier now

that the gods are dying?

Or do you dream of 

Heston with omniscient beard?

 

You should be happier now 

With no one to pray to

Or would you love to

Break your knees from begging and praying?

It’s a broken smile

That’s breaking their hearts

and breaking their mind

BiTE HaRD

It’s 5.05, your engines alive and

We ride together

BiTE HaRD

 

I may be lonelier now

But I’m happy alone  honest

It ain’t lonely alone

What would we talk about anyway?

 

Oh I never resort 

To kissing your photo - honest

I just had to see

How the chemicals taste there honey

BiTE HaRD

 

We ride together

We die together

 

I never

No I never

I just had to

I just had to

See now Honey

It’s a broken smile

That’s breaking their hearts

and breaking their mind

We ride together

Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride

Crushed the end within my stride

Said I’m strong now I know that I’m a leaver

I love the sound of you walking away

Mascara bleeds a blackened tear

And I am cold

Yes, I’m cold

But not as cold as you are

I love the sound of you walking away

 

Why don’t you walk away?

 

Why don’t you walk away?

No buildings will fall down

Why don’t you walk away?

No quake will split the ground

Why don’t you walk away?

The sun won’t swallow the sky

Why don’t you walk away?

Statues will not cry

 

Why don’t you walk away?

 

I cannot turn to see those eyes

As apologies may rise

I must be strong and stay an unbeliever

And love the sound of you walking away

Mascara bleeds into my eye

I’m not cold

I am old

At least 

As old as you are

 

As you walk away?

 

As you walk away

My headstone crumbles down

As you walk away

The Hollywood wind’s a howl

As you walk away

The Kremlin’s falling

As you walk away

Radio Four is STATIC

 

As you walk away

 

The stab of stiletto

On a silent night

Stalin Smiles

Hitler laughs

Churchill claps

Mao Tse Tung

on the back

Jacqueline

Jacqueline was seventeen

working on a desk

when Iver

Peered above a spectacle

forgot that he had wrecked a girl

Sometimes these eyes

Forget the face they peer upon

Well, you know

That face as I do

And how in the return of the gaze

She can return you the face

That you are staring from

 

It’s always better on holiday

So much better on holiday

That’s why we only work when

We need the money

 

Gregor was down again

Said come on, kick me again

Said I’m so drunk

I don’t mind if you kill me

Come on you gutless

I’m alive

I’m alive

I’m alive

and how I know it

But for chips and for freedom

I could die

 

It’s always better on holiday…

The Dark Of The Matinee

You take your white finger

Slide the nail under

the top and bottom buttons

  of my blazer

relax the fraying wool

  slacken ties and I’m

not to look at you in the shoe

  but the eyes find the eyes

 

find me and follow me

through corridors, refectories and files

you must follow, leave

this academic factory

you will find me in the Matinee

the dark of the Matinee

it’s better in the Matinee

the dark of the Matinee is mine

yes it’s mine

 

I time every journey

to bump into you

accidentally I

charm you and tell you

of the boys I hate

all the girls I hate

all the words I hate

all the clothes I hate

how I’ll never be anything I hate

you smile, mention something that you like

how you’d have a happy life

if you did the things you like

 

find me and follow me…

 

So I’m on BBC2 now

telling Terry Wogan how I made it.

What I made is unclear now

but his deference is

and his laughter is

my words and smile are so easy now

yes, it’s easy now

yes, it’s easy now

 

find me and follow me…

Stand On The Horizon

How can I tell you I was wrong?

How can I tell you I was wrong?

When I am

The proudest man

Ever born

 

I stand on the horizon

I want to step across it with you

But when the sun’s this low

Everything’s cold

On the line of the horizon

 

Come to me

Oh won’t you come to me

 

How can I tell you I was wrong?

How can I tell you I was wrong?

When I am

The cruellest man

Ever born

 

I stand on the horizon

I want to step across it with you

But when the sun is this low

Everything’s gold

On the line of the horizon

 

In South Shields Metro station

I heard Marsden Rock was breaking

The North Sea shaking

All that we know

To make us see the point of living

Is to live

So won’t you come to me

 

The North Sea sings

“Won’t you come to me baby?”

The North Sea singing

“Won’t you come to me?”

Evil and a Heathen

Words fall from our mouths

Like plates from shaking hands

Smash upon the silence

Of the smooth naked canal

 

I’m evil and a heathen

I’m a heathen and evil like you

There’s not a lot I couldn’t do

 

I like how you pretend

That the end will be the end

So fill your thirst

Drink a curse

To the death of death instead

 

I’m evil and a heathen

I’m a heathen and evil like you

There’s not a lot I wouldn’t do

 

Utrecht led me to the Sacre Coeur

Where the smoke curled round

Now the ice blows of Lake Michigan

When the Ice blows

The Ice Flow knocks you

 

Your teeth are black with wine 

As you place those lips on mine

The moon hangs heavy and forbidden high

On the **** night of our lives

 

I’m evil and a heathen

I’m a heathen and evil like you

There’s not a lot we couldn’t do

40'

As I glance once upon the foam

40’ beneath my feet

The coldest calm falls

through the molten veins

Cooling all the blood to slush

that congeals around the brain

 

la la la

 

40’ REMAIN

 

Salt scales upon my drying arms

Burn my back beneath the sun

But I am cold beneath the burning rays

Looking down, looking down

Down, down again

 

la la la

 

40’ REMAIN

This Fire

Eyes

Boring a way through me

Paralyse

Controlling completely

Now

There is a fire in me

Fire that burns

Fire that burns

 

This fire is out of control

I’m going to burn this city

Burn this city

If this fire is out of control

Then I

I’m out of control

and I burn

 

Eyes

Burning a way to me

Overwhelm

Destroying so sweetly

Now

There is a fire in me

Fire that burns

Fire that burns

The Fallen

So they say you’re trouble boy

Because you like to destroy

All the things that bring idiots joy

Well what’s wrong with a little destruction?

 

And the Kunst won’t talk to you

Because you kissed St Rollox Adieu

Because you robbed a supermarket or two

Well, who gives a damn about the prophets of Tesco?

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

For the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

Never judge us

Yeah we’re all…

 

Up now and get ‘em boy

Up now and get ‘em boy

Drink to the devil and death to the doctors

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

5000 users fed today

as you feed us

won’t you lead us 

to be blessed

 

So we stole and drank champagne

On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain

“I never feel pain, won’t you hit me again?”

“I need a bit of Black and Blue to be a Rotation”

 

In my blood I felt bubbles burst

There was a flash of fist an eyebrow burst

You’ve a lazy laugh and a red white shirt

I fall to the floor fainting at the sight of blood

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

Be they Magdelen or virgin you’ve already been

You’ve already been and we’ve already seen

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

Never judge us to be blessed

 

So I’m sorry if I ever resisted

I never had a doubt that you ever existed

I only have a problem when people insist on

Taking their hate and placing it on your name

 

So they say you’re troubled boy

Just because you like to destroy

You are the word - the word is Destroy

I break this bottle and think of you fondly

 

Did I see you in a limousine

Flinging out the fish and the unleavened

To the whore in a hostel

Or the scum of a scheme

Turn the rich into wine

Walk on the mean

It’s not a jag in the arm

It’s a nail in the beam

On this Barren Earth

You scatter your seed

Be they Magdelen or Virgin

You’ve already been

Yeah you’ve already been

We’ve already seen

That the fallen are the virtuous among us

Walk among us

If you judge us

We’re all damned

Brief Encounters

We are bored

We are married

We are young

On the edge of the city

The edge of Ambrosia

Rolls upon rolls upon

Rolls upon the tongue

 

A certain party

A certain cul-de-sac

A certain outcome

A certain piece of me

 

Car keys choose your keys

 

Outside alone

Crossing a perfect lawn

Could it be you

Could it be you

Or could it be

This is what freedom is?

 

We are brief encounters

We all lose our keys

We all choose our partners

We all choose our keys

Car keys choose your keys

 

Pull back

Pull back

Into the drive

Rigid in the matrimonial superking bed

Pretend to sleep

Pretend to sleep

This Boy

It seems this boy’s bathed in ridicule

Too forward, way too physical

It’s time that I had another

I’m always wanting more if there’s another one

Give me some more I’ll have another one

I’ll have a slice of your mother

 

This boy is so spectacular

Not a boy but a wealthy bachelor

I want a car 

I want a car 

 

I see losers losing everywhere

If I lose it’ll only be the damn I give for another

I am complete, invincible

If I have one set principle

Then it’s to stand on You, brother

 

This boy is so spectacular

Not a boy but a wealthy bachelor

I want a car 

I want a car 

 

If I like cocaine I’m racing you

For organic fresh Echinacia

One kick’s as good as another

If tired I’m tired of telling you

I’m never tired I’m always better than you

Eleanor put those boots back on

Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt

I know it isn’t dignified to run

But if you run

You can run to the Coney Island rollercoaster

Ride to the highest point and leap across the filthy water

Leap until the Gulf Stream’s brought you down

 

I could be there when you land

 

So Eleanor take a Greenpoint three-point turn 

Towards the hidden sun

You know you are so elegant when you run

Oh if you run

You can run to that statue with the dictionary

Climb to her fingernail and

Leap, yeah take an atmospheric leap

Let the jet stream set you down

We’ll laugh before every joke is told

We’ll pose after every photograph

Watch the stars fall back into the sky

Cork the wine

Unbake a cake

Take the dog back to the RSPCA

 

But I don’t mind losing you this time

 

I’ll meet you coming backwards

I’ll meet you coming back

When the universe has expanded

Time will contract

You’ll come back

I’ll meet you coming backwards

Next time

 

We make-up start an argument

Tears crawl back into your…

I turn from a friend

Of your friend

Unintroduced

Forget your name forevermore

 

But I don’t mind losing you this time

 

I’ll meet you coming backwards…

Yes I’ll meet you coming back

But we move forwards

Into emptiness

Into the void

Into the universe

How can I get your bullet out of my head now

I have no control

But I try

A new utopia for you to live in

I’ll dream a nation of me

A new ambrosia that we could live in

Flick your cigarette then kiss me

Flick your eyes at mine so briefly

Your leather jacket lies in sticky pools of cider blackberry

You glance a ricochet from every alpha male behind me

Eyes like marbles on a washing machine

Oh and do you ever wonder

How the boy feels

 

Katherine kiss me

In the alleyway by jakeys

Jacking in the sodium light

Yes I love you

I mean I

I mean I need to love

And though your open eyes stare bored upon 

The overflowing pipes above me

I don’t mind

Because I never wonder

Goodbye Lovers & Friends

Don’t play pop music

You know I hate pop music

Just sing amazing godless grace

 

Don’t wear bright colours

You know I hate bright colours

I never liked you for the way you dressed

Anyway

 

Goodbye lovers and friends

So sad to leave you

When they lie and say

“This is not the end”

you can laugh as if

we’re still together

you can laugh about it all

 

I hope you didn’t bring flowers

Hope you didn’t write a poem

Hope you remember every fight

 

I know I could be noxious

Or occasionally cruel

But only to the ones

I loved

 

Goodbye lovers and friends…

 

Don’t get inventory

Don’t fake your memory

Don’t give me virtues that I never had

Don’t get sychophantal

We never were sentimental

I know I took more than I ever gave

 

I don’t need to be forgiven

But a moment from the living

That’s the only thing I ask

 

Goodbye lovers and friends…

Into the close of your tenement

You cast your darkened eyes so low

Said we’re cold as the step cement

 

But I just don’t know what you meant

 

So Alec you may want a pill

We are so cruel and to communicate

Without the red stuff being spilled

We must MDMA our sentiment

 

But I just don’t know what you meant

 

If we were feckless we’d be fine

Sucking hard on our innocence

But we’ve been bright in our decline

Been left as blackened filament

 

But I just don’t know what you meant

 

‘cause I feel blood inside the vein

I feel life inside the ligament

I feel alive yeah just the same

Same vigour and the same intent

 

So I just don’t know if that’s what you meant

Come On Home

Although my lover lives

In a place that I can’t live

I kind of find I like a life

This lonely

It rips and pierces me

In places I can’t see

I love the rip of nerves

The rip that wakes me

 

So come on home

 

I’m where I want to be

You’re where you want to be

Come on we’re chasing

everything we’ve ever wanted

I replace you easily

Replace pathetically

I flirt with every flighty thing

that falls my way

But how I needed you

When I needed you

Let’s not forget

We are so strong

So bloody strong

 

So come on home

 

Blue light falls

Upon your perfect skin

Falls and you draw back again

Falls and this is how I fell

I cannot forget

I cannot forget

Come on home

Come on home

But don’t forget to leave

No You Girls

Kiss me

Flick your cigarette and then kiss me

Kiss me where your eye won’t meet me

Meet me where your mind won’t kiss me

Flick your eyes at mine then hit me

Hit me with your eyes so sweetly

You know you know you know that

Yes I love you I mean I’d

Love to get to know you

 

But do you never wonder?

No?

 

No you girls never know 

how you make a boy feel

how you make a boy

 

Oh

Kiss me

Yeah oh Flick your cigarette n then kiss me

Kiss me where your eye won’t meet me

Meet me where your eye won’t flick me

Flick your mind at mine so briefly

Oh you know you know you’re so sweetly

Ooh you know I know you know that

I love you I mean I

I mean I need to love

 

But do you ever wonder?

No?

 

No you girls never know 

how you make a boy feel

how you make a boy

 

Sometimes I say the stupid things I think

I mean I

Sometimes I think the stupidest things

Because I never wonder

how the girls feels

 

No you boys never care

You dirty boys’ll never care

How the girl feels
