Protect And Survive 03:09
lyrics

Protect And Survive When an attack is expected the siren will sound a rising and falling note Protect And Survive Stay at home Remove anything which may ignite and burn easily Protect And Survive Your radio will be your only link to the outside world Your radio Protect And Survive Do not go outside until the radio tells you it is safe to do so Until the radio tells you it is safe to do so

Russian Style 03:14
lyrics

Dasvidaniya Mother I'm going to war with Russia You can't take out insurance after your house has burned down In a cluster-fuck of cluster-bombs Now Mickey-D's has gone Take a good look around Mother I'm going to war with Russia You're on a train heading West Maybe that's for the best But I'm going to volunteer After my homework's done I'll take my father's gun Show them we d0n't want them here Mother I'm going to war with Russia You and I are so alike We are cousins of a kind But if you try to take my home I won't step aside this time Mother I'm going to war with Russia

Baba Yaga 03:53
lyrics

I took an idea from the air And strangled it before it could take a breath I knew when I first saw you You had already foreseen my death Kill your dreams Daddy's little princess Eats our babies That's what love is In my head Daddy's little princess Dressed in nightmares In our dream-house on fowl legs I went missing for three days in winter And woke up an old man in spring I could no longer speak my own language My lips sewn shut with bee strings Kill your mind Daddy's little princess Eats our babies That's what love is In my head Daddy's little princess Dressed in nightmares In our dream-house on fowl legs They come to seek your wisdom And go with empty eyes I kept you in a basement You kept me hypnotised Kill your hope Daddy's little princess Eats our babies That's what love is In my head Daddy's little princess Dressed in nightmares In our dream-house on fowl legs

Forget 03:52
lyrics
buy track
It doesn't matter what I do I can't get over it One stupid move and you can Destroy everything And if I could take it back I would never speak again I can't look you in the eyes I can't even say your name You'll forget to remember what I said As I walk away Forget And forgive the things I did When I lost my way My faith in human nature dies With every piece of news I see a killer clown in everyone but you And I'm waking up in bed And I sleepwalk through the days Knowing nothing's what it seems You'll forget to remember what I said As I walk away Forget And forgive the things I did When I lost my way I had a chance to make the world a better place How wrong can you be When it is staring you in the face Can you cast another spell? To change me back again So you see me as you did When you didn't know my game You'll forget to remember what I said As I walk away Forget And forgive the things I did When I lost my way

We Are All Astronauts 03:05
lyrics
buy track
A quarter of a million miles from home in my spare room on my mobile phone We are all astronauts Lives depend on the next move that you make We are all astronauts It's Linda's birthday - we're all having cake We are all astronauts It doesn't matter what you do You're a high precision tool We are all astronauts You're a tool You're running out of fuel And you're running out of air We are all astronauts I'm on paternity leave Shopping in Mothercare We are all astronauts It doesn't matter what you do You're a high precision tool We are all astronauts You are on your final descent We are all astronauts I am currently out of the office We are all astronauts We all have to pay the rent We are all astronauts Did you put me on hold? We are all astronauts

In A Past Life 03:04
lyrics

I must have hurt you In a past life When you saw me In the half light It all came back to you Your suspicious Nature makes you Look at me With something hateful It all came back to you I deserve it Don't mistake me I'm not worth it Come and take me It all came back to you

Die Laughing 02:52
lyrics

You never say hello It's straight to shining wit Knock Knock Who's there? It's you again And I just can't bear it Don't start You're cracking me up I might just die laughing Don't start You're cracking me up You should be on TV I've got no sense of humour Or I can't take a joke Or you are just not funny Ok, Let's take a vote Don't start You're cracking me up I might just die laughing Don't start You're cracking me up You should be on TV Oh you're a laugh a minute I think my sides might split You say, "Oh, you'd have laughed' I sincerely doubt it Don't start You're cracking me up I might just die laughing Don't start You're cracking me up You should be on TV

House of Shame 03:20
lyrics
buy track
As I walked down the street of the House of Shame I had nothing to hide I stood looking up at the House of Shame But I couldn't see inside I saw in the window of the House of Shame And I caught a glimpse of you I knocked on the door of the House of Shame There was nothing left to do The House of Shame I ran away from the House of Shame Before they me in But I had taken to the House of Shame Like a mother takes to gin From a toe in the water of the House of Shame To staying all night long I was soon paying rent at the House of Shame Where did it all go wrong? Or right? The House of Shame The place on the market is the HOS I paid the asking price I can't describe the view from the House of Shame But let's just say, "It's nice"... Welcome back to the House of Shame How do you like your room? We're not leaving the House of Shame Anytime soon The House of Shame

Stupid 80s Pop Music 03:30
lyrics
buy track
My heart is beating like a Syn-drum But there is nothing in the air I'm standing underneath a street-light My ghettoblaster in the air I'm staring at your bedroom window Although I know that you're not there And you haven't been for many years So why do I keep coming here? Stupid 80's Pop Music Is what it sounds like in my head Stupid 80's Pop Music Is all that gets me out of bed Each day is just like 16 Candles Weird Science Pretty In Pink Stupid 80's Pop Music Just make me think of you I keep on making you a tape I've got enough to build a wall One day someone will come and find me Crushed beneath them if they fall I post one each day to your old house But there is no one there at all Everyone's returned to me Marked, "Why can't you just let it be? Stupid 80's Pop Music Is what it sounds like in my head Stupid 80's Pop Music Is all that gets me out of bed Each day is just like 16 Candles Weird Science Pretty In Pink Stupid 80's Pop Music Just make me think of you Can't you come back with me to a time When I was young and pretty And you were kind of mine? We went nightclubbing dressed to the nines Waiting for the Bomb Feeling so alive Feeling so alive Now everything is auto-tuned All I want is a Juno 6 Stupid 80's Pop Music Is what it sounds like in my head Stupid 80's Pop Music Is all that gets me out of bed Each day is just like 16 Candles Weird Science Pretty In Pink Stupid 80's Pop Music Just make me think of you The stupid 80s
