Shhh... 01:14

Appetite 03:42
Cold was the city Cold were the people Skinny were the Indie girls Drunk were the regulars The night Gilly was stabbed in the pub The songs on the jukebox Were mainly about having fun And I, I had a hunger for love But you ruined my appetite The punks in their camouflage trousers The goths with their pale vacant faces The broken pint glasses under our feet The broken young souls on the street
3.
Take a Seat 05:14
Take a seat on the Circle Line You've made when you were still Yearning for days in the light you were The best in the business of fraud were there Take a step further into the crowd that You've been running from When you still had dignity Robbed your own faith of its virginity After you will stop pretending that your wish for a life Is a childish one, you owe him one Then will come the understanding That in fact, as I found, You've always been proud Being lonesome and a coward All them fuckers keep giving you numbers Wish you could smash their heads down on the floor

People tell me smile, Am I on candid camera? The best sleep comes after sex, if I jack off will that still work? I thought that people were out there for me 'Cause I decide what reality is Alan liked his drink, He drank so much he could barely stand Then he fell down to the floor, And lost his concienceness for a minute or more You should see that girl, the junkie violin player, on the underground Playing hits but it sounds like she's saying 'you want it? you'll get it!' She looks like a guy

Some Help 03:20
Hey, are you having fun? Wanna go outside? So we could talk? Why not? I'm nice. And I think I should be getting some help From you. Hey, are you having fun? Wanna go outside? So we could talk? Why not? You're nice. And I think you should be getting some help From me.

Tired of playing the game Do you think that I am, Pushing the wrong the buttons? I was fading again with the remains of a day Was falling so very hard with the rain And queue to the cash machine was blocking the street We were keeping ourselves to ourselves On the long 29 Living in harmony Looking out through the window were two houses on fire But we didn't want to be late for work so we trusted the rain When I got off there was a man on the floor The man The man on the floor, just like before Comes again to surprise me Looks a bit dead But I am glad Nothing had happened To me
7.
And there's no sign of rain No sign of feeling And our plates are all full Our ash trays are full In the land of not-giving And the wide screens are on And the colors are strong And the senses are flooded And people drive cars And they like to move fast And she's taking her clothes off That's why I cannot think now And the rat race is on People harness themselves To bigger houses To beautiful wallets And our bin bags are full So we buy bigger ones She's afraid to grow old now Better not grow old now And sex is what sells Oh it's a wonderful world And she's taking her clothes off, now she's naked And that's why I cannot think now Spent two hours on the phone With the automatic line, automatic line Press 1 to feel a thing, full satisfaction guaranteed Or your money back Choose one number between 1 and 10 1 is hell and 10 is bliss one one one one one one one I still can't feel anything No signs of rain, no signs of rain No no no

Lil' Robert 04:52
Men and gentle ladies please pay attention It is with pride and good intentions That I introduce you to my own invention Can you believe in something you cannot see? Can you not see he's standing next to me? Put your hands together for the invisible boy! Seventeen years of absolute transparency Being ignored became his legacy You're staring at me but he's there with you In the crowd Give them a good scare lil' Robert Make your daddy proud For all the kids in school he's just an empty chair Impossible to miss, why would they care But little did they know, my lil' Robert was sitting there But Robert wants to be seen in all his glory When telling your sweet daughters his late night story Now come on little girls make love to the wind This sensual breeze is your classmate honey I doubt your parents will find this funny See, he's my creation, invention, my victim, my child Where have you gone lil' Robert? Don't Leave your papa behind
9.
Frozen Lake 03:16
Somewhere frozen lake of true wonder Somewhere there are we Skate there you are floating in my arms We never dared to be Out of touch The world do not exist anymore The ice so fragile under our feet Evening TV dinner for two How we cannot speak Upstairs hiding deep in the cupboard Two pairs of dusty skates Out of touch The world is the only thing we know I put my hand in your hand
