PLANET
TELEX
you can force
it but it will not come
you can
taste it but it will not form
you can
crush it but it's always here
you can
crush it but it's always here chasing you home
saying
everything is broken everyone is broken
you can
force it but it will stay stung
you acn
crush it as dry as a bone
you can
walk it home straight from school
you can
kiss it you can break all the rules
but still
everything is broken everyone is broken
why
can't you forget?

where do we go
from here? the words are coming out all wierd
where are you
now when I need you? alone on an aeroplane
falling asleep
beside the window pane my blood will THICKEN.
I need to wash
myself again to hide all the dirt and pain
i'd be scared
that there's nothing underneath
and who are
my real friends? have they all got the bends?
am I really
sinking this low?
+my baby's got
the bends we don't have any real friends
i'm just lying
in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my
girlfriend
waiting for something
to happen
and i wish it
was the sixties i wish we could be happy
i wish i wish
i wish that something would happen..
where do we
go from here? the words are coming out all wierd
where are you
now when I need you?
they brought
in the CIA the tanks and the whole marines
to blow me away
to blow me sky high
+my baby's got
the bends we don't have any real friends
i'm just lying
in a bar with my drip feed on
talking to my
girlfriend
waiting for something
to happen
and i wish it
was the sixties i wish we could be happy
i wish i wish
i wish that something would happen..
i want to live
and breathe
i
want to be part of the human race.

two jumps in
a week i bet you think that's pretty clever
don't you boy.
flying on your
motorcycle.
watching all
the ground beneath you
drop.
you'd kill yourself
for recognition.
kill yourself
to
never
ever
stop.
you broke another
mirror.
you're turning
into something you are not.
drying up in
conversation
you will be the
one who cannot talk.
all your insides
fall to pieces.
you just sit
there
wishing
you
could
still
make
love.
they're the one's
who'll hate you
when you think
you've got the world
all sussed
out.
they're the ones
who'll spit at you.
you will be the
one
screaming
out.
it's
the best thing that you ever had.

Her green plastic
wateringcan
for her fake
chineserubberplant
in the fake plastic
earth
that she bought
from a rubber man
in a town full
of rubber PlanS
to get rid of
itself,-it wears her out
SHe lives with
a broken man.
a cracked polystyreneman
who just
crumbles and
burns.
He used to do
surgery for girls
in the eighties
but GRAVITY always
wins
and it wears
him out.
She looks like
the real thing.
She tastes like
the real thing,
my fake plastic
love.
But I Can't Help
The Feeling.
I Could Blow
Through The Ceiling.
If I Just Turn
And RUN.and it wears me out
if
i could be who you wanted all the time..

I don't wannt
a be krippled kracked
shoulders wrists
knees and back
ground to dust
and ash
crawling on all
fours.
when you've got
to feel it in your bones.
Now i can't climb
the stairs
pieces missing
everywhere
prozak painkillersss.
when you've got
to feel it in your bones.
and i used
to fly like Peter Pan
all the chidren
flew when i touched their hands.

they love me
like i was a brother
they protect
me
listen to me
they dug me my
very own garden
gave me sunshine
made me happy.
nice dream.
i call up my
friend the good angel
but she's out
with
her ansaphone
she says she
would love to come help but
the sea would
electrocute us
all. nice dream.
if you think
that your strong enough
if you think
you belong enough.
nice dream.

can't get the
stink off,he's been
hanging round
for days.
comes like a
comet,suckered you
but not your
friends.
one day he'll
get to you,teach
you how to be
a holy cow.
don't get my
sympathy hanging
out the 15th
floor.you've changed the
locks 3 times,he
still comes reeling
through the door.and
soon he'll
get to you,teach
you
how to get to
purest hell.
you do it to
yourself you do and that's what
really hurts
is you do it to yourself just you
you and no one else you do it to yourself.

BULLET
PROOF...
I WISH I WAS
limb by limb
and tooth by tooth
tearing up inside
of me
everyday everyhour
wish that i
was bullet proof
wax me
mould me heat
the pins
and stab them
in
you have turned
me into this
just wish that
it
was bullet proof
so pay me money
and take a shot
lead-fill
the hole in me
i could burst
a million bubbles
all
surrogate
&
bullet proof.

i get home from
work and
you're still
standing in your dressing
gown
well what am
i to do?
i know all the
things around your head
and what they
do to you.
what are we coming
to?
what are we gonna
do?
blame it on the
black star
blame it on the
falling sky
blame it on the
satellite
that beams me
home.
the troubled
words of a troubled mind
i try to understand
what is eating
you.
i try to stay
awake but it's 58hrs
since that i
last slept with you.
what are we coming
to?
i just don't
know anymore
i get on the
train and i just stand about
now that i don't
think of you.
i keep falling
over i keep passing out
when i see a
face like you.
what are we coming
to?
i'm gonna meltdown.

through
the big wall
the big wall
bites back
you sit there
and
sulk
sit there and
bawl
you are so
pretty
when youre
on your
knees
disinfected
eager
to please
sometimes
you sulk
sometimes
you burn
god rest
your soul
when the
loving comes
and we've
already gone
just like
your dad
you'll never
change
each time it
comes
it eats me
alive
i try to
behave
but it eats me
alive
so
i declare
a holiday
fall asleep
drift away.
|
|
rows of houses
all bearing down on me
i can feel their
blue hands touching me
all these things
in all positions
all these things
will one day take control
and fade out
again and fade out
this machine
will will not communicate
these thoughts
and the strain
i am under
be a world child
form a circle before we all
go under
and fade out
again and fade out again
cracked eggs
dead birds
scream as they
fight for life
i can feel death
can see it's beady eyes
all these things
into fruition
all these things
we'll one day swallow whole
and fade out
again and fade out again.
.immerse your soul in LOVE.
