The Fallen

So they say you're a troubled boy
Just because you like to destroy
All the things that bring the idiots joy
Well, what's wrong with a little destruction?

And the Kunst won't talk to you
Cause you kissed St. Rollox adieu
Cause you robbed a supermarket or two
Well, who gives a damn about the profits of Tesco?

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
Turn the rich into wine
As you walk on the mean
Well the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Never judge us
Yeah we're all---
Up now and get 'em, boy
Up now and get 'em, boy
Drink to the devil
and death to the doctors!

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
Five thousand users fed today
Oh as you feed us
Won't you lead us
To be blessed

So we stole and drank champagne
On the seventh seal you said you never feel pain
"I never feel pain, won't you hit me again?"
"I need a bit of black and blue to be a rotation"

In my blood I felt bubbles burst
There was a flash of fist, an eyebrow burst
You've a lazy laugh and a red white shirt
I fall to the floor fainting at the sight of blood

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
You turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
Be they Magdalen at Virgin you've already been
You've already been and we've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Never judge us
To be blessed

La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la...

So I'm sorry if I ever resisted
I never had a doubt you ever existed
I only have a problem when people insist on
Taking their hate and placing it on your name

So they say you're troubled boy
Just because you like to destroy
You are the word, the word is 'destroy'
I break this bottle, think of you fondly

Did I see you in a limousine
Flinging out the fish and the unleavened
To the whore in a hostel
Or the scum of a scheme
Turn the rich into wine
Walk on the mean
It's not a jag in the arm
It's a nail in the beam
On this barren Earth
You scatter your seed
Be they Magdelan or Virgin
You've already been
and you've already seen...

wahoo! wahoo! wahoo!

Yeah! You've already been,
you've already seen
That the fallen are the virtuous among us
Walk among us
Oh if you judge us
We're all damned.

This Boy

This Boy

It seems this boy bathed in ridicule
Too forward, way too physical
It's time that I had another
I'm always wanting more, if there's another one
Give me some more, I'll have another one
I'll have a slice of your mother

This boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)

I see losers losing everywhere
If I lose I'll only lose the care
that I might have for another
I am complete, invincible
If I have one principle
Then it's to stand on you, brother

This boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)

I wanna...

I want a car,
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)

If I like cocaine, I'm racing you
For organic fresh Echinacea
One kick's as good as another
If I'm tired, I'm tired of telling you
I'm never tired, I'm always better than you
Bye boy, run to your mother

This boy's so spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
Oh Yes I am spectacular
Not a boy, but a wealthy bachelor
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want a car
I want a car (aha)
I want a car
I want a car (yeah)
I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want, I want.

Walk Away

Walk Away

I swapped my innocence for pride
Crushed the end within my stride
Said I'm strong now I know that I'm a leaver
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds a blackened tear, oh
And I am cold, yes, I'm cold
But not as cold as you are
I love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
I love the sound of you walking away, walking away, hey hey

Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?

Why don't you walk away?
No buildings will fall down
Won't you walk away
No quake will split the ground
Won't you walk away
The sun won't swallow the sky
Won't you walk away?
Statues will not cry

Don't you walk away X
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Why don't you walk away?
Hey

mmmmm

I cannot turn to see those eyes
As apologies may rise
I must be strong and stay an unbeliev her X
And love the sound of you walking away, you walking away
Mascara bleeds into my eye, oh
And I'm not cold, I am old
At least as old as you are
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la la
And as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away

Oh, as you walk away
My headstone crumbles down
As you walk away
The Hollywood winds will howl
As you walk away
The Kremlin's falling
As you walk away
Radio Four is static

As you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Oh, as you walk away
Hey

The stab of stiletto
On a silent night
Stalin smiles and Hitler laughs
Churchill claps Mao Tse Tung on the back

Evil And A Heathen

Evil And A Heathen

Words fall from my mouth
Like plates from shaking hands
Smash upon the silence
Of the smooth naked canal

I'm evil and a heathen
I'm evil and a heathen
I'm a heathen and evil like you
There's not a lot
Not a lot I couldn't do

I like how you pretend
That the end will be the end
So fill your thirst
Drink a curse
To the death of death instead

I'm evil and a heathen
I'm evil and a heathen
I'm a heathen and evil like you
There's not a lot
Not a lot I wouldn't do

Utrecht led me to the Sacre Coeur
Where the smoke curled round
Now the ice blows of Lake Michigan
When the ice blows
The ice flows knocks you down

Your teeth are black with wine
As you place those lips on mine
And the moon hangs heavy and forbidden high
On the night of our lives

I'm evil and a heathen
I'm evil and a heathen
I'm a heathen and evil like you
There's not a lot
Not a lot we couldn't do

You're The Reason I'm Leaving

You're The Reason I'm Leaving

some granite wall
Numbs our bones, numbs our all
As we sit on skinny hands
Nothin to say, nothin at all
oh
I don't know you
and I
I don't want to
You're so awkward just like me
But I don't care

Ohhh, You're the reason I'm leavin
You're the reason I'm leavin
If I'm leaving we don't stop livin, you know

I've no idea, oh
That in four years
I'd be hanging from a beam
Behind the door of number ten
Singin' well, fare thee well, fare thee well, fare thee well
I am leaving, yes I leave it all to you...

You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
you're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
If I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know
I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)
You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
If I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know

As we ride along
Under an optimistic sun
The radio sings that everybody song by rem
And here I am fighting, fighting
Yes I'm fighting not to cry
and that's another reason why
I ought to hate you like I do
Like I do, ohh like I do
You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
You're the reason I'm leaving (Leaving alone)
if I'm leaving we don't stop livin', you know
I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)
I'm the reason you're leaving (Leaving alone)
If we're leaving we don't stop livin', you know

Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On

Eleanor Put Your Boots Back On


Eleanor put those boots back on
Kick the heels into the Brooklyn dirt
I know it isn't dignified to run
But if you run you can run to the Coney Island roller coaster
Ride to the highest points
And leap across the filthy water
Leap until the gulf streams brought you down

I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land

So Eleanor take a green point three point
And turn towards the hidden sun
You know you are so elegant when you run

Oh if you run
You can run to the statue with the dictionary
Climb to her fingernails and leap
Yeah, take an atmospheric
Leap and let the jet stream set you down

I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land
I could be there when you land

So Eleanor put those boots back on
Put the boots back on and run
Come on over here
Come on over here
Come on over here

Well that Was Easy

Well that Was Easy

Well that was easy, waiting
Everything's easy now
And the days are oh so normal

But oh hannah how I miss you
Oh, hannah how I miss you
Oh, hannah how I miss you now
Now... n-n-n-now....

I used to lock myself in your bathroom
Swallowing the Codeine kept for your back
Numb, so numb
I'd let your words come and come

Oooooh
So come
Come on, come
Come on kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now
'Cause I'm leaving you now

That was easy, but how I miss you
That was easy, but I still miss you
That was easy, but how I miss you now
Now...n-n-n-now

I watched you clean the filth off your phone dial
Swallowing things your finger picked up
Tongue, your tongue
I'd watch your tongue licking on

Oooooh
So come
Come on tongue
Come on kill me now
Kill me now
Kill me now
'Cause I'm leaving you now

What You Meant

What You Meant

As I took a step number four
Into the close of your tenement
You cast your darkened eyes so low
Said we're cold as the step cement

But I just don't know
What you meant
What you meant

So Alec you may want a pill
We are so cruel to communicate
Without the red stuff being spilled
We must MDMA our sentiment

But I just don't know
What you meant
What you meant
What you meant

If we were feckless we'd be fine
Sucking hard on our innocence
But we've been bright in our decline
Been left as blackened filament

But I just don't know
I don't know
No, I don't know

No, I don't know what did you mean
No, I don't know what did you mean
No, I don't know what did you mean
No, I don't know
To get away from, I got to get away from you

I feel blood inside the vein
I feel life inside the ligament
I feel alive, yeah, just the same
Same vigour and the same intent

But I just don't know
Oh if that's what you meant

I'm Your Villain

I'm Your Villain

You toss in a word
I'm your villain
I see the passion emerge
I'm your villain
But serious
You're so serious
Like a waiter
Hating the rich
But taking their tips

If I could laugh I'd love you
If I could smile at anything you said
We could be laughing lovers
I think you'd prefer to be miserable instead
If I could love I'd love you
If I could love like anybody else

I know what I am
I'm your villain
I don't give a damn if
I'm your villain
Because serious
You're so serious
But I've got ready salted
ready on your belly
If you want to have fun

See you later, baby
