Watch this space! White boy, white lie, two-faced dead guy Too "lust for life" to die along with it Take it, talk it, comb that carpet Pull on the bone and chaser in secret We know where you've been (Golden slumber) And we know what you're buying (Golden slumber) You're pissing on friends (Too weak to lift) And still you deny it (The rock that you're under) Fine, fine, Junkenstein (Keep it up son, take a look at what you coulda won) Low count, pissjoy, wet back, pin boy Turn off the light and take the fake ticket Ex-Pat, B-Plan, take the money sick man No guts to face it let alone kick it Wanna try pain? (Golden slumber) Try pain as a real man (Golden slumber) Wanna try change? (Too weak to lift) Try changing the program (The rock that you're under) You say you're so tired, not as tired as I am Fine, fine Junkenstein (You ain't so tough, your eyes are never wide enough)

I've had a drink and a smile in every port of heaven And from a five on the dial I'm at eight, nine, ten and eleven I gotta find a way (Find a way) I gotta fix me a buzz (Fix me a buzz) I've got a pain like a pain and I want it to stay Could be yours, could be mine Could be there any time I want Nurse! Make me well I come here straight from hell so the ground is yours, wow! I've been through anger, peace and honesty And all I got was patience, yes I did But the good's gettin' better And the bad are merely minor frustrations I've got to find a way (Find a way) To keep the way I find (Way I find) 'Cause the chances are good that it won't let you down Like maybe drinkin' with Keef Or seeing Dolly Parton's tits Nurse! Make me well De-louse me, clean me up until I'm free to go, wow! Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum File under "Lost in the truth somewhere" and you'll find me I've got my hate and my fear and my hang-ups here to remind me I gotta climb away (Climb away) I gotta kick the crust (Kick the crust) I gotta think like I do, like I always did Keepin' time for the kind that ain't out to waste time Nurse! Make me fine Remind me that there's never been a better time to be alive To the better times, to the best times To the bed times, yeah, the sheets are gettin' sticky Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum Keep it maximum, keep it maximum

Something got me sinking in the bathtub Thinking how to figure you out Trying to figure out a way how to open your mouth When the monologues cut When the comfort of silence Kind of scares it back shut Something got me talking (Got me talk, talk, talking) Something got me talking (Got me talking about you, and) Something got me talking Got me talk, talk, talking 'Bout someone like you, somebody like you Honey you'd be mad to sit it out Is your silence making you lonely? Or is your loneliness making you silent? Sonny are you thinking anything? You might chance our way of thinking If we could only get you talking Why don't you speak? Speak you fucker Soundog Babylon Keeping it on and on Soundog Babylon Keeping it on and on Something got me asking myself Why you get so uptight Why you bottle up the feelings You've been feeling 'til it doesn't feel right 'Til it makes you feel small 'Til your faith in mankind Is inclined to be minimal Something got me talking (Got me talk, talk, talking) Something got me talking (Got me talking about you, and) Something got me talking Got me talk, talk, talking 'Bout someone like you, somebody like you Honey you'd be mad to sit it out Is your silence making you lonely? Or is your loneliness making you silent? Sonny are you thinking anything? You might chance our way of thinking If we could only get you talking Why don't you speak? Speak you fucker Soundog Babylon Keeping it on and on Soundog Babylon Keeping it on and on

Hey there sweet thing check out the scene The makers of taste are all peachy and keen The pace is of summer and the height is a climb Now is the colour and blue is the time Hey there sweet thing throw in your keys The party isn't over 'til you're down on your knees Pick out your brother the choice is sublime Now is the colour and blue is the time Sit yourself back while the enemy tire We're chocking down fuel just to piss on the fire There's people brought down by the need to be beat In a bid to be rid of the stench of defeat There'll be a hundred dead kids in every block A hundred blind pigs all sick from the shock And waddya know? The shit's all ready to blow Hey there sweet thing, feeling secure? They need a disease cuz they invented a cure The city's asleep in the height if its prime Now is the colour and blue is the time Hey there sweet thing, cop a class A You got to keep illegal while the kids are away It tastes a lot better when you know it's a crime Now is the colour and blue is the time Feel the modern air and the tension above ya Kiss your mum and dad coz you know that they love ya Supply and demand for the culture at hand He's a boy-girl 21st century man There's a scream in your gut as you cry in your beer Well that's all well and good but it can't happen here And waddya know? The shit's all ready to blow

While you were walking round Powis Square I was in Highgate, Y'all know where And you was wearing all my favourite clothes Coz they looked much better on you Your love brings me down like heroin Be the hero in the end in the end of the film Be the hero in the end in the end of the film Be the hero in the end in the end of the film When I come home you ask me why I tell you the truth smacked up in a lie All I said was all I'd say It never really got me anyway Your love brings me down like heroin Be the hero in the end in the end of the film Be the hero in the end in the end of the film Be the hero in the end in the end of the film

Regardez, this ones a whiner, this ones a wimp Walks with a smile And talks with a limp Lives by excuses, thinks we believe Then gets more confused and in time more na've Stays in the past cuz the future has gone into Trying to remember which story to be on Suffers the silence, harbours the guilt Plays up the neighbour routine to the hilt Don't show in the accent don't show in the eyes Don't know if suspicion is justified No patience is fun No patience is fun In the mist of reaction are those who deny That's why human beings lie Why, why, why d'ya have to lie Why do you have to lie to me? Huh? Why, why, why d'ya have to lie Why do you have to lie to me? Huh? Takes your attention, makes you complete No woman and no man can foresee this deceit And extinction of what you believe in The friendship, trust and the way you was feeling You bought it, framed it, claimed it and became it Bathed in the sunlight of something so tainted Your stupid (yeah), I'm stupid (yeah) And that's why we buy into co-operation With those afraid of fear With those afraid of pain With those afraid of fucking up and taking the blame They're all fear no fun They're all fear no fun It's all fear no fun It's all fear no fun Maybe afraid of a smack in the eye That's why human beings lie Why, why, why d'ya have to lie Why do you have to lie to me? Huh? Why, why, why d'ya have to lie Why do you have to lie to me? Huh?

And this is all - relax There is no time to relapse Take it green... take it blue And with the world in his hands Where there were fields now there's land We made it here, made it this time Because I can't picture a day when we was Born with nothing to say I guess I knew that he would freak out Thinking about old times Thinking about old times And with the world in his ass!
