(1997)

In the next world war  
In a jackknifed juggernaut  
I am born again  

In the neon sign  
Scrolling up and down  
An airbag saved my life  

In an intastella burst  
I am back to save the universe  

In a deep deep sleep  
Of the innocent completely terrified  
I am born again  

In a fast german car  
I'm amazed that I survived  
An airbag saved my life  

In an interstellar burst  
I am back to save the universe  
In an interstellar burst  
I am back to save the universe  

Please could you stop the noises, i'm trying to get some rest  
From all the other unborn chicken voices in my head  
What's that  
What's that  

When i am king, you will be first against the wall  
With your opinion which is of no consequence at all  
What's that  
What's that  

Ambition makes you look pretty ugly  
Kicking squeeling gucci little piggy  

You don't remember  
You don't remember  
Why don't you remember my name anymore  
Off with his head man  
Off with his head man  
Why won't he remember my name? i guess he goes  

Rain down  
Rain down  
Come on rain down  
On me  

From a great height  
From a great height  

Rain down  
Rain down  
Come on rain down  
On me  

From a great height  
From a great height  

That's it sir,  
You're leaving,  
The cackle of pig skin,  
The dust and the screaming,  
The yuppies networking,  
The panic, the vomit,  
The panic, the vomit,  
God loves his children,  
God loves his children, yeah  

The breath of the morning  
I keep forgetten  
The smell of the warm summer air  

I live in a town  
Where you can't smell a thing  
You watch your feet  
For cracks in the pavement  

But up above  
Angels hover  
Making home movies  
For the Folks back home  

Of all these weird creatures   
And lack of their spirits  
To hold themselves  
And live full of secrets  

They're all uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  

I wish they'd swoop down in the country lane  
Late at night when i'm driving  
Take me onboard of their beautiful ship  
Show me the world as I loved to see it  

I tell all my friends  
But they never believed me  
They think that I finally lost it completely  
I show them the stars  
In the meaning of life  
They shot me away  
But i'll be all right  
All right  

You're all uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  
Uptight  

Uptight  

Wake, from your dreams,  
The drying of your tears,  
Today we escape, we escape  

Pack, and get dressed,  
Before your father hears us,  
Before, all hell breaks loose.  

Breathe, keep breathing,  
Don't lose, your nerve,  
Breathe, keep breathing  
I can't do this, alone  

Sing, us a song,  
A song to keep us warm,   
There's, such a chill,  
Such a chill  

You can laugh  
A spineless laugh  
We hope your rules and wisdom choke you  
Now we're one in everlasting peace,  

We hope that you choke, that you choke,  
We hope that you choke, that you choke,  
We hope that you choke, that you choke,  

Transport motorways and tramlines  
Starting and then stopping  
Taking off and landing  
The emptiest of feelings  
Disappointed people clinging onto bottles  
And when it comes its so disappointing  

Let down and hanging around  
Crushed like a bug in the ground  
Let down and hanging around  

Shell smashed juices flowing  
Wings twitch legs are going  
Don't get sentimental  
It always ends up drivel  
One day  
I'm going to grow wings  
Hysterical and useless  
Hysterical and  

Let down and hanging around  
Crushed like a bug in the ground  
Let down and hanging around  

Let down again  
Let down again  
Let down again  

You know  
You know where you are with  
You know where you are with  
Floor collapses floating  
Bouncing back  
And one day (you'll know where you are)  
I am gonna grow wings  
A chemical reaction  
Hysterical and useless  
Hysterical an  

Let down and hanging around  
Crushed like a bug in the ground  
Let down and hanging around  

Karma Police,  
Arrest this man he,  
Talks too much,  
His voice is like a fridge,   
He's like a ditchy radio   

Karma Police  
Arrest this girl she,  
Stares at me,  
As if she own the world,  
And we have crashed her party.   

This is what you get,  
This is what you get,  
This is what you get,  
When you mess with me.   

Karma Police,  
I've given all I can,  
It's not enough,  
I've given all I can,  
But we're still off the payroll.   

This is what you get,  
This is what you get,  
This is what you get,  
When you mess with me.   

And for a minute there,  
I lost myself I lost myself,  
And for a minute there,  
I lost myself I lost myself,   

And for a minute there,  
I lost myself I lost myself,  
And for a minute there,  
I lost myself I lost myself.  

Fitter, happier more productive  
Comfortable  
Not drinking too much  
Regular exercise at the gym (3 days a week)  
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries  
At ease  
Eating well (no more microwave dinners and saturated fats)  
A patient better driver  
A safer car (baby smiling in back seat)  
Sleeping well  
No paranoia  
Careful to all animals (never washing spiders down the plughole)  
Keep in contact with old friends (enjoy a drink now and then)  
Will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in wall)  
Favours for favours  
Fond but not in love  
Charity standing orders  
On sundays ring road supermarket  
(No killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants)  
Car wash (also on sundays)  
No longer afraid of the dark  
Or midday shadows  
Nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate  
Nothing so childish  
At a better pace  
Slower and more calculated  
No chance of escape  
Now self-employed  
Concerned (but powerless)  
An empowered and informed member of society 
(pragmatism not idealism)  
Will not cry in public  
Less chance of illness  
Tires that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat  
A good memory  
Still cries at a good film  
Still kisses with saliva  
No longer empty and frantic  
Like a cat  
Tied to a stick  
That's driven into  
Frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness)  
Calm  
Fitter, healthier more productive  
A pig  
In a cage  
On antibiotics  

I will stop,  
I will stop for nothing.  
Say the right things,  
We're electioneering.  

I trust I can rely on your vote.  

I go forwards,  
You go backwards,  
Somewhere we will meet.  

Draw your shields  
Through their economics....  
Yeah, 'cause it's just business,  
Who's the enemy this week?  

Who is it? Who is it? Who is it?  

I go forwards,  
You go backwards,  
Somewhere we will meet.  

Doing it all, doing it all.  

I am the key to the lock in your house   
That keeps your toys in the basement  
And if you get too far  
You'll only see my reflection  

I am your face when she sleeps tonight  
I am the pick in the ice  
Do not cry or hit the alarm  
We are friends til we die  

And either way you turn,   
I'll be there  
Open up your skull,  
I'll be there   
Climbing up the walls  

It's always better when the light is off  
It's always better on the outside  
The crack of your waning smile  
15 blows to the skull  

So tuck the kids in safe tonight   
And shut the eyes in the cupboard,   
Do not cry out or hit the alarm  
You'll get the loneliest that  

Either way you turn,   
I'll be there  
Open up your skull,  
I'll be there  
Climbing up the walls  

Climbing up the walls  
Climbing up the walls  

A heart that's full up like a landfill  
A job that slowly kills you  
Bruises that won't heal.  
You were so tired, happy,  
Bring down the government, they don't speak for us.  
I'll take the quiet life, a handshake, some carbon monoxide.  

No alarms and no surprises,  
No alarms and no surprises,  
No alarms and no surprises,  
Silent,  
Silent,  
This is my final hit, my final bellyache with  

No alarms and no surprises,  
No alarms and no surprises,  
No alarms and no surprises, please.  

Such a pretty house, such a pretty garden.  

No alarms and no surprises,  
No alarms and no surprises,  
No alarms and no surprises, please.  

I'm on a roll,   
I'm on a roll....this time,  
I feel my luck could change.  
Kill me Sarah  
Kill me again....with love.  
It's gonna be a glorious day.  

Pull me out of the aircrash,  
Pull me out of the lake,  
Cause I'm your superhero  
We are standing on the edge  

The head of state has called for me by name  
But i don't have time for him  
It's gonna be a glorious day  
I feel my luck could change  

Pull me out of the aircrash,  
Pull me out of the lake,  
Cause I'm your superhero  
We are standing on the edge  

We are standing on the edge  

It barks at no one else  
Like it's seen a ghost   
I guess it seen the sparks a flowing  
No one else would know  

Hey man slow down, slow down  
Idiot slow down, slow down  

Sometimes i get overcharged  
That's when you see sparks  
You ask me where the hell i'm going?  
At thousand feet per second  

Hey man slow down, slow down  
Idiot slow down, slow down  

Hey man slow down, slow down  
Idiot slow down, slow down
