packt like sardines in a crushd tin box
after years of waiting nothing came
as your life flashed before your eyes
you realised
i'm a reasonable man get off get off get off my case
i'm a reasonable man get off my case get off my case get off my case
after years of waiting
after years of waiting nothing came
and you realise you're looking in looking in the wrong place
i'm a reasonable man get off my case get off my case get off my case
i'm a reasonable man get off my case get off my case get off my case
after years of waiting
i'm a reasonable man get off my case get off my case get off my case
i'm a reasonable man get off my case get off my case get off my case
i'm a reasonable man get off my case get off my case get off my case

pyramid song
i jumped in the river what did i see?
black eyed angels swam with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see
all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven in a little row boat
and there was nothing to fear nothing to doubt
i jumped into the river
black eyed angels swam with me
a moon full of stars and astral cars
all the figures i used to see
all my lovers were there with me
all my past and futures
and we all went to heaven in a little row boat
and there was nothing to fear nothing to doubt
there was nothing to fear nothing to doubt
there was nothing to fear nothing to doubt

pulk/pull revolving doors
there are front doors
and there are revolving doors
doors in the rudders of big ships
and there are revolving doors
there are doors that open by themselves
there are sliding doors
and there are secret doors
there are doors that lock
and doors that don't
there are doors that let you in
and out
that never exit
but there are trapdoors
that you can't come back from
you and whose army?
come on
come on
you think you drive me crazy
come on
come on
you and whose army?
you and your cronies?
come on
come on
holy roman empire
come on if you think
come on if you think
you can take us on
you can take us on
you and whose army?
you and your cronies?
you forget so easy
we ride tonight
we ride tonight
ghost horses
ghost horses
we ride tonight
we ride tonight
ghost horses
ghost horses

i might be wrong
i might be wrong
i might be wrong
i could have sworn i saw a light
coming on
i used to feel
i used to feel
there was no future left at all
i used to think
open up and let me in
let's go down the waterfall
think about the good times and never look back
never look back
what would i do?
what would i do
if i did not have you?
start again begin again
let's go down the waterfall
have ourselves a good time it's nothing at all
nothing at all
nothing at all
the waves roll out come in again
the waves roll out come in again
knives out
I want you to know
He's not coming back
He's bloated and frozen
Still there's no point in letting it go to waste
So knives out
Cook him up
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth
If you'd been a dog
They would have drowned you at birth
So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot
So knives out
Catch the mouse
Don't look down
Shove it in your mouth
I want you to know
He's not coming back
Look into my eyes
It's the only way you'll know I'm telling the truth
So knives out
Catch the mouse
Squash his head
Put him in the pot
amnesiac/morning bell
Morning bell
Morning bell
Light another candle and
Release me
Release me
You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Howling down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Please........
Release me
Release me
Where'd you park the car?
Where'd you park the car?
Clothes are all over the furniture
Now I might as well
I might as well
Sleepy jack the fire drill
Run around around around around around....
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
The lights are on but nobody's home
Everybody wants to be a
The lights are on but nobody's home
Nobody wants to be a slave
Walking and walking and walking walking.......
The lights are on but nobody's home
Everybody wants to be a
Everyone wants to be a friend
Nobody wants to be a slave
Walking and walking and walking walking...,,,,,

like spinning plates
I didn't update this page for ages after I typed up the lyrics initially (the day the album was released), but they're here now. About time too!
while you make pretty speeches
i'm being cut to shreds
you feed me to the lions
a delicate balance
and this just feels like spinning plates
our bodies float down the river
and this just feels like spinning plates
i'm living in cloud cuckoo land

The following is related to the song; it's taken from pages of writing by Thom. *
so how much can you stand?
the flames are lapping up & up,
licking round the legs going in a circle
dogs pulling on its chain
the wind blows a tune
tune to the coming dead
this just feels like spinning plates
a temple of hypocrites opportunist
i am no magician
our bodies floating down the muddy river
i jump at the slightest sound
i'm trying to keep my balance
they have borrowed all the kitchen knives
they are killing all the tall thin ones
switch off and walk away
spinning plates trick
spinning plates
i'm spinning plates juggling plates
juggling plates spinning plates
spinning plates spinning plates
spinning plates im juggling plates
life in a glass house
Once again I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house
Once again packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in
Once again we are hungry for a lynching
That's a strange mistake to make
You should've turned the other cheek
Living in a glass house
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in |
