Morning Sickness
01:43
|
|||
|
Are you sick of clocks
Are you sick of cars
Are you sick of work
And corporate hives
While they're being boring you're being bored
Ain't it nice when you're just ignored...
Every bloodshot eye may be the witness
To your morning sickness
Every bloodshot eye may be the witness
To your morning sickness
Are you sick of dawn
Of dirty tram
Are you sick of lights
They're red again
Are you sick of earphones in a knot
Are you sick of life
I hope you're not
Every bloodshot eye may be the witness
To your morning sickness
Every bloodshot eye may be the witness
To your morning sickness
Every bloodshot eye may be the witness
To your morning sickness
Every bloodshot eye may be the witness
To your morning sickness

Close Without Banging
03:05
|
|||
|
You and your kind
You like to twist and shout
And I like it whispered in my ear
One comrade's passion is another one's aggression
So now please
Close without banging
No
Don't leave a light on
In case you haven't learned I like sitting in the dark
See you sometime on the western side of the wall
Now please
Close without banging
Now that you've given up
Don't you dare and change your mind about it
Now when you've wasted all my time
I guess you've had enough of a groundhog day
You can't get out of
Please give it back, it's mine
No
I'm not the A side of 'Heroes'
I'm its quiet counterpart
There's a ball of dust on the needle and the record's run its course
Now please
Close without banging
Leave nothing hanging
Now please
Close without banging
Now that you've given up
Don't you dare and change your mind about it
Now when you've wasted all my time
I guess you've had enough of a groundhog day
You can't get out of
Please give it back, it's mine
Now that you've given up
Don't you dare and change your mind about it
Now when you've wasted all my time
I guess you've had enough of a groundhog day
You can't get out of
Please give it back, it's mine

Vacation
03:04
|
|||
|
I think I need a vacation
And sweet constructive boredom
And a weird sleep cycle
Cause I know where this weight comes from
And when I dream I dream of numbers
Nothing fun or artlike
Only devils and demons
And whatever's on my bank account
Here's to vacations
I think I need bad weather
To lock me up inside
With smooth jazz selection
And Criterion Collection
And when I dream I dream of numbers
Nothing fun or artlike
Only devils and demons
And whatever's on my bank account
Here's to vacations
Let's crack one open for
Inactivity
Where I don't have a smartphone
In my vicinity
Only cheap cider and
Talk about nothing and
A lack of clothing
And you
Let's crack one open for
Inactivity
Where I don't have a smartphone
In my vicinity
Only cheap cider and
Talk about nothing and
A lack of clothing
And you
And you

Worst Cover Band Ever
03:46
|
|||
|
Give your money to the worst cover band ever
Four people who couldn't agree on what to play
Well, they loaded their van with expensive gear
But it's probably the last time they're around here
Let me introduce the worst cover band ever
Sing along with the worst cover band ever
The one that won't play any hits tonight
Well, they came to this place by someone's help
The only fight they put up is the one between themselves
Let me introduce the worst cover band ever
Heard it all before
Sounds so 20 years ago
Heard it all before
But it sounds so good I wanna hear some more
Bang your head to the worst cover band ever
The one that's playing songs you've never heard
What you thought was the poor man's Superchunk
Like the rich man's us
And it just might be the best band in the world
Now it just might be the best band in the world
Heard it all before
Sounds so 20 years ago
Heard it all before
It sounds so good, I wanna hear some more
Heard it all before
Sounds so 30 years ago
Heard it all before
That's what they call rock & roll
And I sang from my heart but to you it's whatever and
Connecting the dots seems to last forever
And we sang "alright" at the end of Surrender
Now say goodnight to the worst cover band ever
Now say goodnight to the worst cover band ever
Now say goodnight to the worst cover band ever

Song Of The Weak
03:07
|

|
Wish I could feel
The way you always feel
About everything around you
And have your nerves of steel
You don't believe
In any of our leaders
Priests or corporations
Only in yourself
And I don't need a light above me
I don't need the life you stole
I just want you to hold me
Like I'm gonna go away, never to return
Did you keep those holy books I gave you
Or let them burn?
You don't need
Don't need a helping hand
You're so independent
Guess what, I am not
I don't have a problem with you
I don't have a lack of love
No, just a lot of envy
Not going to let it show
And I don't need a light above me
I don't need the life you stole
I just want you to hold me
Like I'm gonna go and I never will
And I never will
And I don't need a light above me
I don't need the life you stole
I just want you to hold me
Like I'm gonna go...

Say You Will
02:40
|
|||
|
Do you dare
Do you dare
To waste most of your precious time on me
I don't care
No, I don't care
Now go ahead and pull your tusk right through me
Common sense will tell you
That your heart is wrong
When it says I am the one
Now keep your faith in me
And like Christine McVie
Abandon perfection
Do you dare
Do you dare
To waste most of your precious time on me
I don't care
No, I don't care
Now go ahead and pull your tusk right through me
Common sense will tell you
That your heart is wrong
When it says I am the one
Now keep your faith in me
And like Christine McVie
Abandon perfection
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
And join me in my future games
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
And join me in my future games
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will
And join me in my future games
Say you will
Say you will
Say you will

Chainstore Radio
03:26
|

|
Don't fall asleep in a queue
No, we don't want you to
The flowchart says
Sleepwalkers buy necessities
But miss, I know you're smart
$mart enough to fill your cart
By doing that
You'll save along the way
Dance in the liquor department
Dance in the make believe wine cellar
Bomb this supermarket
Dance to the beat of the brandy street
Let's dance in the liquor department
Dance in the make believe wine cellar
Bomb this supermarket
Dance to the beat of the chainstore radio
Don't fall asleep in a queue
No, sir, i'm asking you
To take your time
And redefine necessities
But sir, I know you're smart
$mart enough to fill your cart
With a coupon more
You'll save along the way
This one's for your empty heart
This one's for your empty card
This one goes
To anyone who paid

Fill The Void
05:08
|

Liquids made me thirstier
Smoking made it difficult to breathe
Running made walking with head up high nearly impossible Everything's replaceable
Now tell me what's redundant
There's nothing missing in this picture
(That's why)
I'll fill the void with nothing
I'll fill the void with nothing
Maybe nothing should have been there in the first place
I'll fill the void with nothing
Dancing made me feel too old
Reading made me feel too young at heart
Not getting rid of habits just acquiring new lies
I don't know how I'm sure I'll figure it out, I'm smart
I will replace you with a hole
No bonus tracks,
Extended jams,
No, nothing
No filler stuff
I've got enough
Of nothing
Don't pity me
Just comfort me
With nothing
No filler stuff
I've got enough
Enough

This Time Next Year
03:10
|
|||
|
...now take this imaginary machete
And walk with me through this jungle of life
In an unforgiving city that wants to be
The center of the universe
And that's how much it costs in money and nerves
And we've both taken turns in pulling our weight
I've learned how to run,
How to crawl
And fail and fall
I'm the friend of the mother of all learning
It is my duty to know no fear
For the sake of this time next year
And the year after that one
...
I intend to do what I think I perfected
Not going anywhere - challenge accepted
Are you laughing at the face of fear?
For the sake of this time next year
And the year after that one

Born To Be Mild
02:59
|
|||
|
You will bleed
Ah, yes you'll bleed
When you cut yourself
You'll see your own insides
What you need
Is a bit of sleep
And a lot of love
'Cos you might stay a child
You're born to be mild...
Did they get you to trade your
Peace for speed
In a zombie company
Do you remember that one time you almost died?
...
Give that thing to someone else
Someone else who wants to die young
Give that thing to someone else
You're born to leave last, die dumb
