Gotta find me a parakeet
This treatment takes too long
Gotta find some therapy
This treatment takes too long.
"A Means To An End"
Stranger ways, frozen pies
or
Stranger ways, frozen pipes
or
Stranger ways, frozen pipes
Stranger ways, the lows and highs

Why put my trust in you?
I put my trust in you.

Every fish is by design
Here, here,
Everything is by design

Forced by the pressure

Life's senseless and hard
I've since lost the heart

Threw topples at poo.
Through childhood, through youth

Where will we live?
Where will it end?

Withdraw maiden's heart
Withdrawal pain is hard

We're figures from the past I'm told (Or, where figures from the past unfold)
And mocking voices ring the bold
Where figures from the past stand tall
And mocking voices ring the halls

Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of an older man
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man
"Disorder"
Curving sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man
"Disorder"
I've been waiting for a guy to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of another man?
I've been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand,
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?

Lights are flashing, cows are crashing, getting frequent now
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now

Bourbon, tequila, their inner communion
Burden to keep, though their inner communion

I'm living in the Ice Cream
I'm living in the Ice Age.

I'm living in the eighties.
I'm living in the Ice Age.

Now the dog's beat the houses looked insane
I walked round and round nailed to a tree
Down the dark streets, the houses looked the same
I walked round and round
Nail me to a train
"Interzone"
Now the dogs beat the houses
Look the same, I walk round and round, nearly to a tree
Down the dark streets the houses looked the same
I walked round and round
Nail me to a train
"Isolation"
Each day I'm divorcing your mum
Painstaking devotion and love

And a fish in soho
And ambitions are low

Love grows great in the dark again
Love...Love will tear us apart again

Love in Paris in France
Love will tear us apart

Love will tear us apartament
Love will tear us apart again

Love will tell us apart
Love Will Tear Us Apart

Love, love this terrapin heart again.
Love, love will tear us apart again.
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
Love, love will give us a car
Love, love will tear us apart
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
Lovers play in the park again
Love will tear us apart again
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
Oh buttery tart,
and a-fishing we go
When routine bites hard,
and ambitions are low
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
There's a taste in my mouth
Its expiration tastes old
There's a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
We're rooted by towns.
When routine bites hard.
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
We're rooted in time
When routine bites hard.
"Love Will Tear Us Apart"
When Richard bites hard
When routine bites hard
"ah, so this song isn't about a cannibal named Richard after all....!"
"Shadowplay"
I found you
I found truth
"Shadowplay"
In a room, with a window and a toilet
I found you.
In a room with a window in the corner
I found truth.
"Shadowplay"
In the center of the city in the night
I found the Geritol Man.
But I could only stare in disbelief
As the crowds all left.
"Shadowplay"
To the center of the city where a roast beef's waiting for you
To the center of the city where all roads meet Waiting for you
"Shadowplay"
You see a sausage-roll groove-tin four-line
dancing on the floor
As the assassins all grouped in four lines,
dancing on the floor
"She's Lost Control"
And of a voice that told her when and where to w***,
She said I've lost control again.
And of a voice that told her when and where to act,
She said I've lost control again.
"She's Lost Control"
And then she showed up for the Arizona states.
And then she showed up all the errors and mistakes.
"Something Must Break"
I fought for one, took sides for both
I paused for one whom signs forebode
"Warsaw"
I could leave all the Wishniaks.
Hung around on your soundtrack.
"Warsaw"
To find the rice sack of reason.
To find the right side of reason.
