Don’t Be Happy… Just Worry

Do you remember British achievement, and living when times were good? Watching the start of the end of an era, would you go back if you could? When I was younger, the smell of the hunger, in all of the music you played Kept me believing you lived for the lifestyle and not just the cash to be made 'cos it's a place where people happen, it's the corner of success Everybody loves you, and you're never second best The smell of easy money, and you follow it to death I smell… the shit… upon your breath CHORUS: I remember you when you were an Englishman But now you're turning American, turning American (x2) Walking away from the crumbling empire Won't make it grow anymore Changing your style 'cos the radio tells me How can you sleep? you're a commercial whore And you'd lick the steaming phallus if it'd offered you a hit Clean you of integrity and then they'll make you fit You think you'll glide to stardom then you'll show them what you've got Your pride, your balls, they own your lot CHORUS I want to be American, I want to be a star You should be over there, you should go far But I don't want to learn 'cos I know it all now You should be guaranteed to find out how You'll always be a wanna be, you look too far away... 'cos it's a place where people happen, it's the corner of success Everybody loves you and you're never second best The smell of easy money, and you follow it to death I smell… the shit… upon your breath CHORUS

You, with their sadness in your eyes You've got places you can dream to if you'd only take the time I've got the arms to break your fall But you're sad without a reason and that's the baddest kind of all Down, down see them drown Why do you let it get you down? Those empty headed heroes and those rumours coming round Tired (of) all the people you despise You've got so much a-love inside you that you've never exercised Down, down see them drown You can't stop crying over, can't stop crying over nothing You can't stop crying over, can't stop crying over Nothing (x3) CHORUS: It's all right, so why care? If you bleed for the light I will follow you there 'cos there's a sun kissed cloud over raindog holiday ...holiday CHORUS Crying over nothing (x6) Crying over…

In the trials of my youth On my way to being man There were caustic words of ill advice I'd never understand But their hometown dreams were shattered When ambition foiled their plans But you can't be the one who tries That they love to criticise, I know Or at least they'll try C'mon! Laughin' is all that I can do Tryin' to keep from fallin' through Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes They all got advice to give 'Cause they got no life to live Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes Nothin' ever changes but the shoes In my one-man crusade Doin' what I knew was right They would tempt me with the honest sweat Of labour, love and life And they only find respect for you If you give up the fight Oh, but you can't be the one who tries They'll cut you down to size, I know Or at least they'll try C'mon! Laughin' is all that I can do Tryin' to keep from fallin' through Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes They all got advice to give 'Cause they got no life to live Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes Nothin' ever changes but the shoes But the shoes I wanna be there when you say you're wrong I wanna be there when you crawl I wouldn't piss on your opinions And if I stand on top of the world Then maybe I'll find somebody I know And if I don't Laughin' is all that I can do Tryin' to keep from fallin' through Nothin' ever changes, nothin' ever changes They all got advice to give 'Cause they got no life to live Nothin' ever changes, nothing ever changes Nothin' ever changes but

(clouded/crying) grey and blue my mind is ten miles high and rising Misty waters calling down surrounding me with healing To rise, to climb above the chaos, and wash away the filth To hide inside my reason, the only one I need And all I can remember is all I can forget To taste you is to trust you CHORUS: I'm hitting that high, I'm hitting that high… Leave me be man I just wanna be on my own (x2) I've got (sickness/secrets) in my head, I got spiders in my bed, I said Leave me be man I just wanna be on my own Twist myself around the wreathing corridors around me Embryo I am my mother smothers me in safety My own, I could be here beside you, in sickness and in health Gonna (dook) me so I need it CHORUS I'm coming down, I'm coming down, I'm coming Down (x3) Wooooah

Play, relax, enjoy 'Cause you're fryin' tonight again It's raw, unclean, uncut And it's all for the art of pain Just makeup and FX Man, those movies, they twist the brain My TV screen is drippin' red With Gates of Hell and Evil Dead I cannot wait to see it up close So slice away and go for gross again It's splattermania, it's extra censored thrills It's splattermania, it's zoom in on the kill It's splattermania, I know you think I'm ill But if you hold on tight and don't be shy We're drillin' brains and pullin' eyes It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger It's only splattermania Lucio, you're back How we missed you when you were gone Oh, now it's time to splat Like you did in the full Beyond C-c-c-counting down the sickest ways To slice and dice your teenage prey In Tromaville, the violence mounts To multiply the body count again It's splattermania, it's extra censored thrills It's splattermania, it's zoom in on the kill It's splattermania, I know you think I'm ill But if you hold on tight and don't be shy We're drillin' brains and pullin' eyes It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger It's only splattermania Splattermania, splattermania Splattermania, yeah, yeah! High rollin' 'Cause everyone's lookin' for someone to blame Censorship rules, still the problem remains Watch with your eyes closed and still you complain 'Til no-one has an independent thought in their brain And it's always the same It's splattermania, it's extra censored thrills It's splattermania, it's zoom in on the kill It's splattermania, I know you think I'm ill But if you hold on tight and don't be shy We're drillin' brains and pullin' eyes It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger It's only splattermania, splattermania Splattermania

(Yeah, nice one (done)...) There's a light in my room so that it's always night or day I know that being responsible will help me find my way Well… I'd swim an ocean to be around it But I've been swimming since the age I found it The sweet affliction, people are different Feeling my head is my home (head is my home), better than feeling alone CHORUS: There's something weird (x3) There's something weird going on in my head There's something weird (x2) There's something weird going on in my head, something weird going on in my… head Take me away from all the silence and the pain Far from the growing ring of greed and personal gain Well… I'd find a shelter, I'd be an outlaw To dry myself off from the bullshit downpour Don't need a reason, you don't deserve one Just my amnesia time (easier time), 'cos in the back of my mind CHORUS: There's something weird (x3) There's something weird going on in my head There's something weird (x2) There's something weird going on in my head I never knew I could leave here I never knew it was so easy Well I never knew it, I never knew I could fly {2112 Rush-like bit!} Hey-Hey-Hey! Wooah, yeah... I'd swim an ocean to be around it But I've been swimming since the age I found it The sweet affliction, I think you're different Feeling my head is my home (head is my home), better than feeling alone CHORUS: There's something weird (x3) There's something weird going on in my head There's something weird (x2) There's something weird going on in my head (x3) Something weird (x24)

Monday comes crashing in And all the world looks grey again Faces on the train seem grim When yesterday the same were smiling Another week to kill Another week where time stands still And shuffling masses feel the chill That comes with their routine The working scene Crawl out of bed and then I turn on MTV again To watch the same songs I can't stand They sing of love and being happy Look there's another one That sounds just like the other one A video without a song This being famous war Frustrates me more But at the weekend Well, everything'll be okay (At the weekend darling) At the weekend, I'll tell the world That for five long days I've been wanting to say Wanting to say, yeah yeah I wanna, I wanna I wanna ride upon a five mile tide Of surprise and oblivion In rain or shine, I'm waiting at the front line I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it And I've been dying to change (I've been dying to change) My ways 'Cause I've been dry for five long days I'll put the world to right I'll fly like Superman in flight I'll eat the day and drink the night And everyone will be there with me This week I've seen it through On autopilot just like you And now there's nothing left to do 'Cept anything at all Let's hit the wall But at the weekend Well, everything'll be okay (At the weekend darling) At the weekend, I'll tell the world That for five long days I've been wanting to say I wanna, I wanna I wanna ride upon a five mile tide Of surprise and oblivion In rain or shine, I'm waiting at the front line I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it And I've been dying to change (I've been dying to change) My ways 'Cause I've been dry for five long days At the weekend, baby, baby, at the weekend At the weekend, at the weekend At the weekend, baby, baby, at the weekend At the weekend… ow, ow, ow, wow! I wanna, I wanna I wanna ride upon a five mile tide Of surprise and oblivion In rain or shine, I'm waiting at the front line I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it And I've been dying to change (I've been dying to change) My ways 'Cause I've been dry for five long I've been dry for five long days

And now I'm fine, my mind is clear And nothing bad can touch me here It's all so right, it's all so beautiful So maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real I'm feeling warm, I want to stay I want to live my life this way Protect me still, oh, as I slowly drift in fog So maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real And I can be the child in me To run with the wind, to dance with the light, to be forever free I hear the crowd (I hear the crowd), I taste the air (I taste the air) For just one night (for just one night), but I don't care (but I don't care) I'm five miles...high And here I'll climb forever at all So maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real And leave it all...
