You've got me girl on the run around run around
You've got me all around town
You've got me girl on the run around
And it's getting me down, getting me down

Lady if you want to find a lover
Then you look no further
For I'm gonna be your only
Searching at the start of the season
And my only reason
Is that I'll get to you
I'll find some way of connection
Hiding my intention
Then I'll move up close to you
I'll use you and I'll confuse you
And then I'll lose you
But still you won't suspect me

Transport, motorways and tram lines
Starting and then stopping, taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings disappointed people clinging onto bottles and
When it comes its so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental, it always ends up drivel
One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction, hysterical and useless hysterical and
Let down and hanging around

Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
let down again

You know,
you know where you are with
you, know where you are
With floor collapses floating, bouncing back and one day
I am gonna grow wings
A chemical reaction,
hysterical and useless
hysterical and
Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Bummed out again by your only business friend
The smell of failure is thicker than you think
Don't do this
Do this, do
Changed shape to fit
In the end you just feel sick
A million lovesongs under anaesthetic
Hey don't you know this
Do this, do

Lewis, save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain
It never really mattered

We never noticed, we never understood
He just got crushed to fit
He never even smelt like the best
It's the best it's the best day of your life

Lewis, save yourself the pain
You'll never get there
Lewis, save yourself the pain
It never really mattered

Oh, mistreated
A low corporate
Oh, mistreated
A low corporate
 

Once again
I'm in trouble with my only friend
She is papering the window panes
She is putting on a smile
Living in a glass house

Once again,
Packed like frozen food and battery hens
Think of all the starving millions
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones
Your royal highnesses

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
But someone's listening in

Once again,
We are hungry for lynching
That's a strange mistake to make
You should turn the other cheek
Living in a glass house

Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat
Well of course I'd like to stay and chew the fat
Well of course I'd like to sit around and chat

Only, only, only
Only, only, only
Only, only, only
There's someone listening in

This is the place
Sit down, you're safe now
You've been stuck in a lift
We've been trying to reach you, {sometimes "Thom" is sang at this point}
This is the place
Tt won't hurt, it will not end

The smell of recognition {or: the smell of air conditioning}
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to come home

This is the place
Remember me? I'm that face you always see
You've been stuck in a lift
In the belly of a whale at the bottom of the ocean

The smell of recognition
A face you barely loved
Empty all your pockets
'Cause it's time to come home

The smell of recognition
A face you barely loved

Let it go, let it go

Today is the first day
Of the rest of your days
So lighten up, squirt

while you make pretty speeches
i'm being cut to shreds
you feed me to the lions
a delicate balance
well, this just feels like spinning plates
i'm living in cloud cuckoo land
this just feels like spinning plates

I am gone
Everybody's raging
And these fruits
They still taste of poison
I won't be around
When you really need me
I can't sleep, why can't someone hold me
I need warmth, a restless body cracks some more
I won't have the strength
When you really need me

i'm on a roll
i'm on a roll
this time, i feel my luck could change

kill me sarah
kill me again
with love
It's gonna be a glorious day

pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
cause i'm your superhero
we are standing on the edge

the head of state has called for me by name
but i don't have time for him
it's gonna be a glorius day
i feel my luck could change

pull me out of the aircrash
pull me out of the lake
cause i'm your superhero
v we are standing on the edge
we are standing on the edge

You stopped the crowd
I cried out to break the spell
You wait and smile
I just snapped and lost control

Distracted by irrelevence
The stress and the tension
The stress and the tension
I'm in a lull

There's nothin' more dull
than talkin', talkin' 'bout yourself
But what i meant to say
I'm sorry that I lost control

Distracted by irrelevence
The stress and the tension
Crawlin' through the keyhole when
I'm in a lull

I feel better, I feel better now you've gone
I feel better, I feel strong

I got better, I got better now there's nothing wrong
I got better, I got better, I got strong

Tell me something, tell me something I don't know
Tell me one thing, tell me one thing and let it go

I got something, I got something heaven knows
I got something, I got something I don't know
