Track Lyrics
Jigsaw Feeling Lyrics
[Chorus]
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
[Verse 1]
One day I'm feeling total
The next I'm split in two
My eyes are doing somersaults
Staring at my shoe
My brain is out of my hand
There's nothing to prevent
The impulse is quite meaningless
In a cerebral nonevent
[Chorus]
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
[Verse 2]
Five fingers do my walking
Ten toes unravel 'Knots'
Amorphous jigsaw pieces
Falling into slots
[Chorus]
Send me forwards, say my feelings
But all the signals send me reeling
Jigsaw feeling
[Verse 3]
So I just sit in reverie
Getting on my nerves
The intangible bonds that keep me
Sitting on the verge of a breakdown
Of a reaction, of a result
[Outro]
Can't beat me, complete me
Maybe defeat me
Defeat me, jigsaw feeling
Defeat me
Mirage Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm just a vision on your TV screen
Just something conjured from a dream
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems
[Chorus]
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non-excuse for a human being
[Verse 2]
It's quite plain to see that I'm playing with me
A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D
Seen through your x-ray eyes, a see-through scene
The image is no images, it's not what it seems
[Chorus]
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non-excuse for a human being, being, being
[Chorus]
My limbs are like palm trees swaying in the breeze
My body's an oasis to drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non-excuse for a human being
[Outro]
It's not what it seems, the image is no images
It's not what it seems, it's not what it seems
Metal Postcard (Mittageisen) Lyrics
[Dedicated to John Heartfield]
[Verse 1]
Reunion begins
With a glass of mercury
Television flickers
With another news bulletin
Flints light up the eyes
Of the seated family
[Chorus]
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal will rule in my masterscheme
[Verse 2]
With a clockwork jerk
Pluck cogs from fob watches
For dinner on Friday
Then recoiling say excuse me
"Must go recycle
My precious machinery"
[Chorus]
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal will rule in my masterscheme
[Verse 3]
It's ruling our lives
There is no hope
Thought I'd drop a line
The weather here is fine
But day and night it blares
Commanding through loudspeakers
[Chorus]
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal will rule in my masterscheme
In my masterscheme
Metal is tough, metal is clean
Metal, metal, command, metal
Command, command, metal, metal
[?] metal
Suburban Relapse Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I'm sorry that I hit you but my string snapped
I'm sorry I disturbed your cat-nap
But whilst finishing a chore
I asked myself "what for"
Then something snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse
Relapse
[Verse 2]
I was washing up the dishes
Minding my own business
When my string snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse
Relapse
[Verse 3]
Should I throw things at the neighbours
Expose myself to strangers?
Kill myself or you?
Now memory gets hazy
I think I must be crazy
But my string snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse
Relapse
[Outro]
Now memory gets hazy
I think I must be crazy
But my string snapped
I had a relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse
Relapse
A suburban relapse
A suburban relapse
A relapse
Relapse
Relapse
Relapse, relapse, relapse
Relapse
A relapse
