Come over here.
I want to see you in the light.
I want to feel how strong you really are.
Go check the plans.
They're on the table in the hall.
The master plan for you and me.
We have the tools.
But we seem to lack the will.
Forever haunted by a lifelong curse.
That's all behind you now.
Go check the plans.
They're on the table in the hall.
The master plan for you and me.
Let's build a city.

Chequered Flag
04:06
|

I entered myself. In the race.
A chequered flag. becomes your face.
I'm timing the room. I'm timing myself.
Looking for you. Find something else.
You're picking up pieces. You're falling apart.
Put them together. You run to the start.
And when it's over.
You can stand back and look at the shapes that you made while you were sleeping.
Laying half open. Closed up in the dark.
A diagram. Fighting a chart.
He doesn't like you. But oh how he wants you.
Spat all the sweets out. And you get the sour ones.
You're in the hot seat now. It's time to know.
Do you want to stay or do you want to go? Go.
You entered yourself. In the race.
A chequered flag. Becomes my face.
You're timing the room. You're timing yourself.
And now you can look at the shapes that we made while we slept.
Pieces. Falling apart.
Put them together. Run to the start.
And when it's over. You can stand back and look...
You're in the hot seat now. It's time to know.
Do you want to stay or do you want to go? Go.
Running battles. Running lights...
I'm good to go...

Sitting here wishing on a concrete floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
I put it on when I go lonely
Will you take off your dress and send it to me?
I miss your kissin' and I miss your head
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
Run outside in the desert heat
Make your dress all wet and send it to me
I miss your soup and I miss your bread
And a letter in your writing doesn't mean you're not dead
So spill your breakfast and drip your wine
Just wear that dress when you dine
P k I a X t I s E e S n
Sitting here wishing on a concrete floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore
Bloody your hands on a cactus tree
Wipe it on your dress and send it to me
Sitting here wishing on a concrete floor
Just wishing that I had just something you wore

What You Want

I can’t seem
To get my head Inside
What you want
All the time
Someone else keeps getting
What you want
I can’t seem
To get my head around
What you want
All the time
Someone else is getting
What you want

And though they say they love you.
They don't really understand you.
And your turbine has stopped turning.
And now they won't survive without you.
High tension every hour.
I'm dreaming of your power.
Glowing strings of brilliant light shine.
Protecting lovers from cold of night time.
And though they say they love you.
They don't really understand you.
And your turbine has stopped turning.
And now they won't survive without you.
And though they say they love you.
They don't really understand you.
And your turbine has stopped turning.
And now they won't survive without you.

German Film Star
04:35
|
|||
I’m in love with a German film star
I once saw in a bar
Sitting in the corner in imperfect clothes
Trying not to pose
For the cameras and the girls
It’s a glamorous world
I’m in love with a German film star
I once saw in a movie
Playing the part of a real troublemaker
But I didn’t care
It really moved me
It really moved me
I’m in love with a German film star
I once saw in a bar
Sitting in the corner in imperfect clothes
Trying not to pose
For the cameras and the girls
It’s a glamorous world
I’m in love with a German film star
I once saw in a movie
Playing the part of a real troublemaker
But I didn’t care
It really moved me
It really moved me
It really moved me
It really moved me
I’m in love.

Constellation
04:31
|

I was born in a gleaming new departure lounge.
Into a life without duty, just metal wings, and engine sound.
I’m living in a constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation,
constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation,
constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation.
I x-rayed you with nothing more than just my eyes.
You. Yes, you.
Climb inside now.
Check your shoulder, realise.
You’ll never realise.
You’re living in a constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation,
constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation,
constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation.
I’m living in a constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation, constellation,

Where Nobody Can Find Us
03:29
|
|||
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I’m mostly good
But have an underground
Some of my galleries aren’t so bad
You should come and see them if you’re ever around
A ring of gothic arches around the shopping zone
But you should see my red light district and send the photos home
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
Where we can put our tragedies behind us
You won’t escape
Why not take the scenic route
By a car by a train to a field and feel the sweetest fruit
My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land
In case things get out of hand.
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
Where we can put our tragedies behind us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
I want to go where nobody can find us
My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land
In case things get out of hand
My factory sits smoking on the edges of my land
In case things get out of hand

In the dark I
can see your eyes reflecting green light from the console.
Where you are working.
The valves, the wires, so warm, they glow.
The heat they make will dissipate.
In the darkness.
The wires.
Where always there.
They stretch between us.
I can't get through and I've tried.
The valves.
Glow red and blue.
They seem to light up.
What I'm dreaming.
You drive.
You're driving home in a Mercedes Benz.
The dashboard lights your face again.
While I...
I'm just taking things apart again.
Such a shame.
I really think that we could have been friends.
The wires.
Where always there.
They stretch between us.
I can't get through and I've tried.
The valves.
Glow red and blue.
They seem to light up.
What I'm dreaming.

I left school and Hit the high street
Had my youth in Six weeks flat
Top shop, doves and Glastonbury
Learned to be a secretary.
If I can’t have it,
Nobody can
You follow the instructions It’s all part of the plan
When you start
As you mean
To go on
Let’s get married Let’s have children
Split up when we’re Twenty two
Cut our losses Screw our bosses
Get out while we’re still young
If I can’t have it,
Nobody can
You follow the instructions It’s all part of the plan
When you start
As you mean
To go on
Paradise often falls apart
Home improvements
For amusement
Smash this place to Smithereens
Don’t forger to pay the premiums
go abroad and leave the gas on
If I can’t have it,
Nobody can
You follow the instructions It’s all part of the plan
When you start
As you mean
To go on
When you start
As you mean
To go on

Straight lines lead inside
Turn me out
Open mind warning sign
I pout
Blank spot fold in time
I doubt
Cut glass metal shine
I shout
Don't leave me, don't leave me alone.
I'm becoming an accident in the home

The ticking inside me never stops
Imagination
Your pulse
Inside me
Inside me
Striplights flicker
Metal on my lips
An imprint. An imprint. An Imprint. An imprint.
Corner dimly lit
You love the no exit
I bring stilletto
I cut through all this
Bleed
The ticking inside me never stops
Imagination
My heart
So clean
Inside me
Striplights flicker
Metal on my lips
An imprint. An imprint. An Imprint. An imprint.
The ticking inside me never stops
The ticking inside me never stops
The ticking inside me never stops
The ticking inside me never stops
The ticking inside me never stops

Soap Opera (Bonus Track)
04:57

Sometimes I remember
You carrying me up a corridor
Sometimes I remember
You wheeling me in through a back door
Sometimes I remember
You choosing me at the place where I came from
Sometimes I can feel sunlight
In the place where you imagine my eyes are
Sometimes I imagine
Loving hands touching the off switch
Sometimes I imagine
Taking my chances touching the off switch
Sometimes I am planning
A strategy
To cut the earth wire
Sometimes I am planning
A secret way to start a house fire
Days and nights and life will kill you
Things you own we will outlive you
Sometimes
Sometimes I imagine
Loving hands touching the off switch
Sometimes I imagine
Taking my chances touching the off switch
Sometimes I can hear you
Calling my name
Calling my name
These days I am planning
A secret way to start a house fire
Pieces of your life are breaking up now
I was made to carry on as petrol slides under the door
Days and nights and life will kill you
Things you own we will outlive you
Days and nights and life will kill you
Things you own we will outlive you
Sometimes

It's not a case of doing what's right
It's just the way I feel that matters
Tell me I'm wrong, I don't really care
It's not a case of share and share alike
I take what I require
I don't understand, you say it's not fair
You expect me to act like a lover
Consider my moves and deserve the reward
To hold you in my arms and wait, and wait
It's not a case of telling the truth
Some lines just fit the situation
You call me a liar, you would anyway
It's not a case of aiming to please
You know you're always crying
It's just your part in the play for today

Come over here.
I want to see you in the light.
I want to feel how strong you really are.
Go check the plans.
They're on the table in the hall.
The master plan for you and me.
We have the tools.
But we seem to lack the will.
Forever haunted by a lifelong curse.
That's all behind you now.
Go check the plans.
They're on the table in the hall.
The master plan for you and me.
Let's build a city.

Tiger steps around your bedroom. In 1987 I thought I'd finally found it. You were talking (I was talking) But I wasn't listening (you weren't listening) But I was recording you for later then you found the wasp and turned it on and played.
You've got me confusing right and wrong again
You've got me confusing right and wrong again
You've got me
Tiger steps (stupid boy) In your bedroom (ate me whole) In 1987 (ignored my wishes) I thought I was in heaven (finding my friends so delicious)
Stupid boy. Stupid boy.
You've got me confusing right and wrong again
You've got me confusing right and wrong again
You've got me
