Hands Up 02:28
Hands up if you think you're the only one with insides / What's special about you sounds shallow to me / Hands up if you think you're the only one with hidden depth / Like the wealth of your experience amounts to more than pre-sleep revenge fantasies. Experience // Experience // It's all about Experience // It takes Experience. Hands up if you think you're the only one with insides / What's special about you sounds shallow to me / Hands up if you think you're the only one with hidden depth / That can advocate crap attempts at sarcasm / I wish my childhood was worse / I wish my childhood was tragic / I could make a tragic case / Put my art into a higher resolution. Experience // Experience // It takes // Experience // It's all about // Experience.

What's the trouble That you know of You started it off So come and show me You felt in control Well I can burn bridges That no one else has seen And there are obvious questions Regarding my methods I seek completeness By any means Some sort of meekness That's still fraudulent Some sort of meekness That's still fraudulent Please take me from the edge of despair It's gaining rhythm and i'm not going anywhere Please take me from the edge of despair It's gaining rhythm and I'm not going anywhere What's the trouble That you know of You started it off So come and show me Please take me from the edge of despair It's gaining rhythm and i'm not going anywhere Please take me from the edge of despair It's gaining rhythm and I'm not going anywhere Please take me from the edge of despair Top jokes only a receptionist would get Put it on a disc, Steve.

Yes Sleeve 05:43
Today I took thirds of inheritance away from five close knit blood relatives and I'm well past phone calls from my mother who grieves for me but not for my muted TV. Lives and house and completely detached but the skirting boards are up to scratch. I left my soul in a Yes sleeve, kept in the corner of my study. I don't pull it out anymore. I don't give it a spin anymore. I don't pull it out anymore. The grooves are starting to hiss at me. Today I downed six bottles of IPA and turned to the pubescent child sat at my daughter's side and said "how much do you think the net worth of your Dad is, annually, if you'd be so inclined to tell me." Lives and house and completely detached but the skirting boards are up to scratch. I left my soul in a Yes sleeve, kept in the corner of my study. I let my little ones get on to whatever they see fit whether it's X-Box or wanking off some council estate boy I wish I had a drink or someone to hear me think and then maybe I'd feel guilty about all the lives I've stepped on. Oh, don't you know I can get further down than this. Today I took two thirds of inheritance away from five close knit blood relatives. Lives and house and completely detached but the skirting boards are up to scratch. I left my soul in a Yes sleeve, kept in the corner of my study.

Get up, but don't go out too soon Doctor's orders from the living room. The circumstances are not what they seem Purple, grey bruises always look unclean Get up, but don't go out too soon Get up, but don't go out too soon Get up, but don't go out too soon Get up, but don't go out too soon. There are things that I've been told Words from mouths I've focused on That could not seem to tell me What my cells are fighting for. Please take me away from All the hair-like sheets And bed controllers I just want to go back to When I was on my own. Please take me away from the nights Where I have been left alone and All I can see in front of me is Reflections of life in the TV set. Get up, but don't go out too soon Doctor's orders, living room Circumstances have not changed today There are things that I've been told here Words from mouths I've focused on here Words from mouths that did not want to tell me anything.

Last night I was talking to you On a single bed With a sincere face you assume. This morning I'm in uniform I'm giving you orders Til it's time to go back home. I can't be arsed for the A-Level talks From someone who still believes In things like Fate and Love. I'll shroud myself in mystery On road trips to the sea. There's nothing I miss There's nothing to be missed. Warm bed, well fed Bleeding gums, smoker's cough. And when the gypsy fare comes to town I mong myself out and I walk around. Now I'm late getting up again Something inside me rises and then Descends, descends, descends, descends. There's nothing I miss There's nothing to be missed. When I learned how to drive My innocence was lost Outside school gates On summer days I park between parents And sink in a wave Of shouts and smiles And feed on Excitement.

Zeus Faber 04:01
Inherited hairline, retreating waistline You're a man from a different time Too much time spent in the shade Withered and retrograde Keep staring at the portraits of yourself All from the glory days Before the tooth decay Stained the meaning of your words If only you could see There'd be no mercy This voyage would be our last Zeus Faber, Zeus Faber Don't let us drown, don't let us drown Zeus Faber, Zeus Faber Don't let us drown for something you said Zeus' eyes lit up a bit When he saw her on the sea A coffin to behold The legacy is sinking And identity with it They'll name a fish for you Zeus Faber, Zeus Faber Don't let us drown, don't let us drown Zeus Faber, Zeus Faber Don't let us drown for something you said

Cross-Ref 06:26
Crouched against a wall. Expected so much more. Crowd bows out across the street. Shies away from those he wants to meet. He thought he'd have much more to say. Cross-ref with Wire We hate expression Aligned temperaments Are gonna keep your spirits up. We hate what we are. Crouched against a wall. Expected so much more. Crowd bows out across the street Shies away from those he wants to meet. He thought it'd be okay Thought everything would turn out great He thought he'd have much more to say. We hate what we are.

Let's jump on the bricks Of forgotten wartime structures Sitting upon the peaks of beaches and hills. We can go to where your Dad wrote his name on a rock You can tell your Mother I'm doing badly if you want If it'd make you feel better about it How many times have you set me up Taking conversations and rearranging them I never want to give meaning to myself Albeit used by someone else I'm sure you never used to talk around me. As we pull ourselves together In a corner, in a lane Don't worry about those giving chase It's only diazepam side effects Go for a piss and take deep breaths On Monday we'll be laughing again Just tell your Dad I got you involved You can use my name In any way you want. How many times have you set me up Taking conversations and rearranging them I never want to give meaning to myself Albeit used by someone else I'm sure you never used to talk around me. Taking conversations And rearranging them. Taking conversations.
