Track Lyrics
Airbag Lyrics
[Verse 1]
In the next world war
In a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again
In the neon sign
Scrolling up and down
I am born again
[Chorus]
In an interstellar burst
I'm back to save the universe
[Verse 2]
In a deep, deep sleep
Of the innocent
I am born again
In a fast German car
I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life
[Chorus]
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
[Instrumental Break]
[Chorus]
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
In an interstellar burst
I am back to save the universe
Subterranean Homesick Alien Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
And 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
[Chorus]
They're all uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Up...
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
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
[Bridge]
But I'd be alright
Alright
I'm alright
Alright
[Chorus]
I'm just uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight, uptight
Uptight
Exit Music (for a Film) Lyrics
[?]
And a tape recorder
Hang the coat
That is since the enemies are
All around
And you can't escape it now it’s found
Living in a glasshouse
You're a mess
But daddy's gonna come and clean it up
Like he always does and no
No one cares
No one notices when you’re not there
Living in a glasshouse
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
But something's breaking in
Breaking in
Breaking in
Breaking in
Let Down Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people
Clinging onto bottles
And when it comes it's so, so disappointing
[Chorus]
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
[Bridge]
Let down and hang...
Let down and hang...
Let down and hang...
[Verse 3]
You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day, I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction (You know where you are)
Hysterical and useless (You know where you are)
Hysterical and (You know where you are)
[Chorus]
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
Karma Police Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio
[Verse 2]
Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party
[Chorus]
This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get
When you mess with us
[Verse 3]
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
[Chorus]
This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get
When you mess with us
[Outro]
For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
For a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there
I lost myself, I lost myself
Fitter Happier Lyrics
[Spoken Verse]
Fitter, happier, more productive
Comfortable, not drinking too much
Regular exercise at the gym three days a week
Getting on better with your 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
Never 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
Favors for favors
Fond, but not in love
Charity standing orders
On Sundays 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
Tires 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 Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I will stop
I will stop at nothing
Say the right things
When electioneering
Trust I can rely on your vote
[Chorus]
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
(Ha, ha, ha!)
[Interlude]
(Woop-woop)
[Verse 2]
Riot shields
Voodoo economics
Your turn, your turn
It's just business
Cattle prods and the I.M.F
I trust I can rely on your vote
[Chorus]
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
[Instrumental Outro]
Climbing Up the Walls Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I am the key to the lock in your house
That keeps your toys in the basement
But if you get too far inside
You'll only see my reflection
[Verse 2]
It's always best with the covers up
I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm
You know we're friends till we die
[Chorus]
And either way you turn, I'll be there
Open up your skull, I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
[Verse 3]
It's always best when the light is off
It's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of your head
Fifteen blows to your mind
[Verse 4]
So lock the kids up safe tonight
Shut the eyes in the cupboard
I've got the smell of a local man
Who's got the loneliest feeling
[Chorus]
And either way he turns, I'll be there
Open up your skull, I'll be there
Climbing up the walls
[Instrumental Break]
[Outro]
Climbing up the walls
Climbing up the walls
No Surprises Lyrics
[Verse 1]
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired, unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life
A handshake of carbon monoxide
[Chorus]
And no alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent, silent
[Verse 2]
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
[Chorus]
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises, please
[Verse 3]
Such a pretty house
And such a pretty garden
[Chorus]
No alarms and no surprises
(Get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises
(Get me out of here)
No alarms and no surprises, please
(Get me out of here)
Lucky Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 love
It's gonna be a glorious day
[Chorus]
Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
'Cause I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
[Verse 2]
The head of state
Has called for me by name
But I don't have time for him
It's gonna be a glorious day
I feel my luck could change
[Chorus]
Pull me out of the aircrash
Pull me out of the lake
'Cause I'm your superhero
We are standing on the edge
[Guitar Solo]
[Outro]
We are standing on the edge
The Tourist Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It 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
[Chorus]
Hey, man
Slow down
Slow down
Idiot
Slow down
Slow down
[Verse 2]
Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you see sparks
They ask me where the hell I'm going
At a thousand feet per second
[Chorus]
Hey, man
Slow down
Slow down
Idiot
Slow down
Slow down
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Hey, man
Slow down
Slow down
Idiot
Slow down
Slow down
