Hope

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

I hope that you choke
Your dreams go up in smoke
You regret the words you spoke
Like I do

There's a jailer inside my brain
And I never, never wanted to come here
There's a life but it's all the same
And I never, never want to leave here
Not without you

I hope that you drown
Your head spins 'round and 'round
You despise the world you found
Like I do
Like I do

 

Bleedmore

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

Bleedmore than I breathe these days
Drowning in your accolades
Things we do, the price we pay
Things we mean, the things we say

I sink more than I swim these days
Drowning in your accolades
The things I loved just slipped away
But it won't matter anyway

And am I still here
Why don't you tell me what to fear
Shall I, shall I stay here
Why don't you tell me what I feel

I use more than I'm used these days
Drowning in your accolades
The deal's been done, you'll have to pay
For the smiles I used to give away

And am I still here
Why don't you tell me what to fear
Shall I, shall I stay here
Why don't you tell me what I feel

Bleed and try to soak it up
We eat and eat and then throw up

Sunlight shining I will be
It's a beautiful day if you're here next to me
I'm so beautiful now
If you tell me, won't you tell me, tell me I am

And am I still here
Why don't you tell me what I fear
Shall I, shall I stay here
Why don't you tell me what to feel

And am I still here (I'm so beautiful, I'm so beautiful)
Why don't you tell me what to fear (if you'd tell me I am)
Shall I, shall I stay here (I'm so beautiful, I'm so intelligent)
Why don't you tell me what to feel (and gullible if you'd tell me I am)
(Why don't you tell me I am)
(I bleedmore than I breathe these days)
(Drowning in your accolades)
(Sin, sin, sin, sin to feel)

 

Creature

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

She was a beautiful creature in a tiny little zoo
I would've loved for you to meet her
She was beautiful like you

Can you breathe if it's important
Do you know when to stop
Tell me what I'm feeling
'Cause somehow I forgot

All she wants is a new lover
All she needs is a new life

I'm relying on believing what you want me to know
Somehow it stops
Crazy for the feeling, I could just let it go
And then the whole thing drops

All she wants is a new lover
All she needs is a new life

These are terrible days to be lost in your head
These are terrible days to be lost in your head
Give me your hand and I'll lead you higher
Give me your hand and I'll tell you what I forgot

All she wants is a new lover
All she needs is a new life

She was a beautiful creature in a tiny little zoo
I would have loved for you to meet her
She was beautiful like me

 

Stretches

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

What stretches before me
Always comes back to get me
Implore me
And what bores me
It all bores me

Can we bring you down
And can we turn you around

Implore me, implore me
Adore me, adore me
That what stretches before me
Always comes back to get me

Can we bring you down
Can we turn you around

 

Everything

All my dreams are made up of a thousand dreams
Torn from somebody else's life
Everything seems to be true till you get down to anything

Give me everything, I want everything, I need everything
Is this all you need, is this all you need
Is this what you can deal with
If I take it all, if I leave it behind
What would you do
Give me everything, everything you can't use

Everyone makes up stuff of their own
Some kind of comfort for when you're alone
Mmmm, but it's my need to get high
Oooh, and it's my need to be very high, high, high, high

Is this all you need, is this all you need
Is this what you can deal with
If I take it all, if I leave it behind
What would you do
Everyone thinks they know what to do with me
What to do, everyone thinks they know what to do

Is this all you need, is this all you need
Is this what you can deal with
If I take it all, if I leave it behind
What would you do
Give me everything, everything you can't use
Give me every cent, give me every cent
Then I'll know I won't lose my friends
Everyone thinks they know what to do with me
What to do with me
What to do, what to do
I want everything, I want everything

 

Fight It Out In Heaven

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

Do you see yourself in us
The little lives and little dreams you passed on (the angels...)
The larger ones I'll provide (...fight it out in heaven)

Is this the worst experience
It still lingers
(I'm not at all again)
Can you see them from here
(I want it all again)
Can you see me from there

Toss frying pans
Saying white trash expletives
Impossibly, impossibly they pause
Impossibly for what cause

Can you feel it, fight our lies
(Will we fight it out in heaven)
Foe
(Fight it out in heaven)

This muse has been stripped from me
I'm not amused, I'm not amused
You could see that couldn't you
You could see that couldn't you
(Fight it out in heaven)
(Fight it out in heaven)

 

Totalled

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

Wouldn't it be wonderful
If everything would fall into your lap
I lap up every word you've said to me
Wouldn't it be wonderful
If every lap by lap I told you
Love by love I loved you

I, I thought you were credible, incredible
I, I need to be totalled
Then I'll be good

Wouldn't it be bearable if no one could remember
When you fell down, ahh, face to face
Face to face you're no good at conversation
Face to face you're no good at relegation

I, I thought you were credible, incredible
I, I need to be totalled
Then I'll be good

I, I wanna be totalled
I, I need to be totalled
To feel good

I (these four walls are made of china)
I want to be totalled (these four walls can't stand the shouting)
And then leave me alone
Leave me alone
To be totalled
I want to get totalled
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone
Leave me alone

 

Profit

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

What a wonder
What a treasure
What an legend
What a mystic

If you had slept all day
Lord knows I might have missed it

And everybody knows your name
But you just look more and more insane

What a seer
What a prophet
What a giver
What a taker

What a liar
What a cheater
What a deceiver
And faker

And everybody knows your name
Now everybody knows your game

 

Righteous

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

Got your socks and your shoes
It's every man's noose
But it's news to you

Here, take the key to the door
That you lost before
It's just the truth
That's eating at you

And I want you to be yourself
If you loved me could you love me well
And I want you to be yourself
If you leave me could you leave me well

And everything dies
So we tell ourselves lies
And wait to fall sleep at night

And that voice in your brain
Is yelling again
And there you are saying, speak up
I can't hear you

And I want you to be yourself
If you loved me could you love me well
I don't want you to be yourself
If you leave me could you leave me well

And I want you to be yourself
If you loved me could you love me well
I don't want you to be yourself
If you leave me could you leave me

I'm beautiful
You told me that I was
Beautiful

Wonderful
You told me that I was
Wonderful

 

Drunk As...

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

I heard you're on that trip again
The one where you can't stand me
You've got one hand in and one hand holding out
Hold it out for she falls where she's been
And yeah we're as drunk as we seem

If you just stand to the left they won't find you
Find you standing, hauling your face
Hold it out for me to bite
Well there's one more bite
Because she falls where she's been
And yeah we're as drunk as we seem
As drunk as we seem

Star shine
Sad sigh
Oh yes I'm where I saw it
[1:29 - 1:39]
Uhh-ee, uhh-oh

 

Desperate To Pack

You say it's love
It's not enough for me
You see this gash
I bleed too much
And this façade
Hard as it was
It's what the strangers see
Don't fall in love with it
Don't fall in love with me

I'm not your kind
No never mind
I'm not your kind

And I always was desperate to pack

You say there's hope
There's not enough for me
I live within four walls
I cannot see
You know it's true
People that you love become your life
It's not enough
Don't fall in love with me
Don't fall in love with me

And I am desperate to pack (desperate to pack)
I am desperate to pack
Desperate to pack

Don't fall in love with me
You say it's love
It's not enough for me
You see this gash
I bleed too much
And this façade
Hard as it was
It's what the strangers see
(Don't fall in love with it
Don't fall)

And I am desperate to pack

 

A Matter Of Taste

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

This woman makes it all
And gives it all away
I think I'm ten foot tall
Till it just drops away

We fall
And then get blown away

She's tall
And everything just falls from her
When she crawls
Everything gets torn from her

She falls
And everything is torn [away]
And I crawl
And everything is stripped away
Stripped away

 

2nd Hand Soul

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

Goodnight children tucked in bed
I never ever heard the words you said
Rocking horse and a house of dolls
A box of soldiers and second hand souls

Tonight is London, tomorrow here
But nobody cares if I don't appear
Saturday evening in a goldfish bowl
Just you and my second hand soul

Sleep too deep
What if we sleep too deep
Sleep too deep
What if we sleep too far

[Steve Kilbey's voice] What happened then?

 

An Arrangement

[rev. Jan. 10, 2024]

It's just an arrangement
No, I don't care if you see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me

Ahh, it's just an arrangement
I don't care if they see
You think you're sick of being yourself
What you crave is somebody else
Make an arrangement with me
Make an arrangement with me
