Wire - 《Send》專輯歌詞與曲目

5 ContributorsBeing Watched LyricsYou're a voyeur junkie, you're a problem boy

The peeping Toms regard you as their toy

The keyboard cowboys have stolen your voice

You'd like to give it up but you haven't got a choice

 

You've got a morbid fascination and a twisted view

You want big brother to spy on you

The trouble is (and you know it's true)

You like to be watched and be the watcher, too

You tap your Morse from your specimen jar

You are the audience, you are the star

 

You like to be watched and be the watcher, too

 

You've got mail - you'd better read it or you will become detached

And you wouldn't want that

Would you?

 

You like to be watched and be the watcher, too

4 ContributorsSpent LyricsExperts in paradise—religious extremism

Toxic stimulation—enforced radiation

Fail safe, cut price—quick save, quick fix

Bostik, headfix—speedy guzzle, licks lips

Signal, ratio—whores and Byrons everywhere

Reject, fundraiser—well spent parasite

Cool jerk, widow-work—punk chaser and a tango

Rich lice, avarice, brutalised and mummified

Lifeless, limelight. Ape man, keep your hair on

Ten years later, kill your poor and break them up

 

Rancid battery acid: fuel for dirty minds

Two-piece generator, neither art or science

Empty distillery, who's the hero tonight?

Sceptic industry, f——ed it just for spite

 

Spent

 

Flaccid cat, hairy assets, cool fur, 30, blind

Deep space simulator, needs a sex appliance

Tempted by symmetry, threw a certain dice

Septic hugging tree, sucked its crust for spit

 

Spent

3 ContributorsYou Can’t Leave Now LyricsThe dogs wait in the street

Sensing fresh meat

It's time they were fed

Even though you're as good as dead

You know you have to go

But your movements are too slow

 

You've eaten your way through

The whole menu

You've savoured every thrill

But haven't paid the bill

And you can't leave now

 

Your options have run out

Leaving you on your own

 

You've eaten your way through

The whole menu

You've savoured every thrill

But haven't paid the bill

And you can't leave now

3 ContributorsHalf Eaten LyricsThe world is half-eaten

Mother Nature is nearly beaten

And the signs are everywhere

My DJ can't mix it

And God can't fix it

Because his plane is already in the air

 

The temperature is rising

It isn't surprising

The fires are everywhere

There won't be any water

The winters are getting shorter

I'd like to leave

But have not got the fare

3 Contributors99.9 LyricsFaith never skirted sense

Man has a wooden master

Chewing makes you anxious

Monkey neglected the needle

 

Pulsating Venus popped my sonar

Accorded temptation by symmetry

In event of lightning striking twice

The road ahead looks quite uncertain
