Telephone Song

Something in my stomach and it feels just like a stone,
Reaching down to feel around I found the feeling all alone,
I grabbed the boulder with both hands and squeezed it with all my strength,
But nothing broke the boulder down so I just rolled it home again,
Kicking 'round in the dead of night, I can't see nothing but your frame,
Pissing 'round in a firefight, but I can't say nothing I'm the same,
If history is written by the losers,
I'm in,
Telephone
You're talking to me now but I didn't call you,
I'm through
Ah Telephone,
Ah Telephone.

I believe that you could be something more than green,
You're real to me a human being with an allergy,
Sitting by my bedside talking in my sleep,
I know the city's slow but you've got a friend,
Cupid's tricks are all too slick to comprehend,
Embrace the rat race and
Pray to your Sundays,
Well life has been tryin' just to put you down,
And I've been cryin' when you're not around,
Lying right beside you but you'll never see,
A liar feels the lick of insecurity, maybe,
Such a big city in the morning,
The whole wide world by noon,
A universe of love within an evening,
Tell me what I'm doing.
Embrace the rat race and
Pray to your Sundays,
Too much of anything is bad for you,
And if you tell me what to think I'll tell you what to do,
It ain't about if people think you're cool,
They should appreciate it if you tell the honest truth,
Well it does no goo to wait,
There ain't much point in waiting for a change,
Well life has been tryin' just to put you down,
And I've been cryin' when you're not around,
Lying right beside you but you'll never see,
A liar feels the lick of insecurity, maybe,

Brain Freeze

I've felt cooling agent running through my bloodstream,
recently,
Dave said 'Man that shit will kill you in a heartbeat,
easily,
Got to keep your body moving at all times,
When everyone is seizing up you'll be just fine,
The grass is always greener on the other side,
When everyone is seizing up you'll be just fine,
I've seen people frozen solid on the TV,
Who look like me,
They may tap the glass but never will they swig sweet remedy,
Got to keep your body moving at all times,
When everyone is seizing up you'll be just fine,
The grass is always greener on the other side,
When everyone is seizing up you'll be just fine.

Blue Couch of the Liffey

The wind seems very still,
I pass Constitution Hill,
Hey I love you Flo,
He wanted the world to know,
The fish don't bite,
I drifted through the night, through town,
The leaking lights, the constant hum of sound,
Blood-tang metal dust,
In the wake of the tram, shoots up,
Passing perfume cloud,
The tourist that talks so loud,
The fish don't bite,
I drifted through the leaking lights,
The fractured sound,
of the centre of town at night,
Drifting slowly but no-one looks down here
(Multiplied a bunch 'o' times)
Soon,
I'll make like you did Blue,
And vacate the city too.

Living Like A Boy
03:29
|
|

She could take your lungs and drink your air,
To keep her skin so young and dye her hair,
Ah (loads of ah's)
A whole new town like a brand new toy,
Dead last on the list that they'd wanna employ,
So take a change cause you're gonna wanna eat,
Only one more song left to go,
Liven up, forget her, and enjoy,
Lose your liver living like a boy,
Ah's (again)
New town's like a brand new toy,
Dead last on the list that they'd wanna employ,
So take a change cause you're gonna wanna eat,
Only one more song left to complete.
Ah's (for the last time, I promise)

Even after all you came for,
Your soul laid bare and torn asunder,
And everybody knows your face,
No dim-lit, crowded, room escape,
I wish that I could be the fool,
To cut you out, it seems so cruel,
And I know I shouldn't think this way
But maybe someday I'll escape,
And I will try to win your favour,
But social ceremony labours,
When everybody knows the game,
No sing of luck or ace of spades,
A love that's built on memory takes dedicated hands to feed,
And I know I shouldn't think this way
But maybe someday I'll escape,
Just for now,
I'm staring out,
And I know I'll never think that way,
But maybe someday I'll escape,
I know for now,
I'm looking out,
Waiting for,
You to shut the door.

My Speed Queen
02:59

Some may find
that looking for the perfect kind
Of peanut butter,
Gives them thrills,
But I'm in love with hermit life,
Living like a loser in the city
Waiting for a pigeon to enlighten me,
Picking up a piece of everything I see ,
And putting it together trying to make ends meet,
You're so fine,
I love the way you tumble dry,
My Speed Queen, everytime
You turn around you blow my mind,
Open up a book on all the meanings,
Several hundred-thousand different readings
My head begins to ache and ears are bleeding,
You shudder to a stop and I suppose this means I'm leaving,
My love lives high on the shelf,
I never seem to reach it myself,
I've been trying for a long long time,
But it moves every time I try,
It knows me when I'm lying,
You're so fine
(you're so fine)
I love the way you tumble dry,
My Speed Queen, every time,
You turn around you blow my mind,
Open up a book on all the meanings...

Some people wear it on their sleeve and let it bleed,
Some people never let it breath,
And some feed,
Part is aching, heart is shaken loose,
Change the chip, change the tune,
Feels brand new,
Buy a shiny shell,
I put it on myself,
It's the nature under sutured wound,
Turn it away, Turn it away,
It's the measure of a future you,
I want it to stay,
Some people wear it on their sleeve and let it bleed,
Some people never let it bleed,
Some feed.

Black and Blue
03:53

Wish I set mother free,
without the pain of raising me,
Grabbing a gun to shoot the breeze,
That blows straight through the apple tree's
Down the hill towards the sea
Towards the sea
If you were good at everything,
Would you spend your life inside the ring,
Taking a beating, black and blue,
Defending all you ever do,
Wish I could be just like you,
Just like you
Wish I could set my father free
and find out what I'm meant to be
Pushing my ship towards the sea,
Is proving just too hard for me,
Won't go away,
The feeling too inadequate to work your way,
up the ladder and,
It won't go away,
But am I begging it to stay?
Down the hill towards the sea,
Towards the sea.

Deep Rest Fur Monkeys

Cut the grass, pull the weeds,
Eat your anger when you realise
this isn't honesty,
Now's the time to find your soul,
Read the cornflakes when you
Clear your bowl,
Read your number out,
Oh man,
She's doing everything that she can,
Oh man,
What is one supposed to do
when told to 'chase your dreams but don't hesitate
to chuck them if they fade'
Oh man,
He's doing everything that he can,
Oh man,
Show me your ticket to see,
the house of deep rest fur monkeys.
