Airbag
In the next world war
in a jackknifed juggernaut
I am born again
In the neon sign
Scrolling up and down
I am born again
In interstella' burst
I'm back to save the universe
In a deep deep sleep
of the innocent
I am born again
In a fast german car
I'm amazed that I survived
An airbag saved my life
In interstella' burst
I'm back to save the universe
(solo)
In interstella' burst
I'm back to save the universe
In interstella' burst
I'm back to save the universe
Paranoid Android
Please could you stop the noise i'm trying to get some rest?
From all the unborn chicken voices in my head
What's there?
(my name is paranoid.... i'm your android)
What's there?
(my name is paranoid....I'm your android)
When i am king you will be first against the wall
with your opinion which is of no consequence at all
What's there
(my name is paranoid.... i'm your android)
What's there
(my name is paranoid.... i'm your android)
Ambition makes you look pretty ugly
Kicking squealing gucci little piggy
You don't remember!
You don't remember?
why don't you remember my name?
off with his head, man
off with his head, man
why won't he remember my name?
i guess he does

Subterrian Homesick Alien
The breath of the morning
I keep forgetting
The smell of the warm summer air
I live in a town
Where you can't smell a think
You watch your feet for cracks in the pavement
High above
Aliens hover
Making home movies for the folks back home
Of all these weird creatures
Who lock up their spirits
Drill holes in themselves and live for their secret
They're all up-tight...up-tight
They're all up-tight...up-tight
I wish that they'd swoop down
In a country lane
Late at night when I'm driving
Take me on board
Their beautiful ship
Show me the world as I'd love to see it
I'd tell all my friends but
They'd never believe me
They'd think that I'd finally lost it
I'd show them the stars
And the meaning of life
They'd shut me away but I'd be alright
They're all up-tight...up-tight
They're all up-tight...up-tight
Exit music (for a film)
Wake from your sleep
The drowning of your tears
Today we escape, we escape
Pack and get dressed
Before your father hears us
Before all hell breaks loose
Breathe
Keep breathing
Don't lose your nerve
Breathe
Keep breathing
I can't do this alone
Sing us a song
A song to keep us warm
There's such a chill, such a chill
You can laugh
A spiteless laugh
WE hope your rules and
wisdom choke you
And now we are one
In everlasting peace
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
We hope that you choke, that you choke
Let down
Transport, motorways and tramlines
starting and then stopping
taking off and landing
the emptiest of feelings
disappointed people
clinging on to 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 am going to grow wings
a chemichal reaction
hysterical and useless
hysterical and
let down and hanging around
crushed like a bug in the ground
let down and hanging around
you know where
you know where you are with
you know where you are with
floor collapes
floating bouncing back
and one day
you'll know where you are
let down and hanging around
crushed like a bug in the ground
let down and hanging around
Karma police
Karma police, arrest this man
he talks in maths, he buzzes like a fridge
he's like a detuned radio
Karma police, arrest this girl
her "Hittler hairdo" is makin' me feel ill
and we have crashed her party
This is what you get
This is what you get
this is what you get when you mess with us
Karma police, I've given all I can
it's not enough. I've given all I can
but we're still on the payroll
This is what you get
This is what you get
this is what you get when you mess with us
For a minute there
I lost myself
I lost myself
phew! for a minute there
I lost myself
I lost myself
Fitter happier
Fitter happier, more productive
Comfortable not drinking too much
Regular exercice at the gym (3 days a week)
Getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries
At ease
Eating well no more microwave dinner and saturated fat
A patient, better driver; a safer car, baby smiling in the back seat
Sleeping well: no bad dreams, no paranoia
Careful to all animals; never washing the spiders down the plughole
Keep in contact with old friends, enjoy a drink now and then
Will frequently check credit at moral bank hole in wall
Favors for favorsαfond but not in love
Charity standing orders on sunday ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants)
car wash (also on sundays)
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate
nothing so childish at a better pace
slower and more calculated
no chance of escape; now self-employed
concerned (but powerless)an empowered and informed member of society (pragmatism not idealism)
will not cry in public, less chance of illness
tires that grip in the wet (shot of baby strapped in back seat)
a good memory, still cries at a good film
still kisses with saliva, no longer empty and frantic
like a cat tied to a stick
that╞s driven into frozen winter shit (the ability to laugh at weakness) α calm
fitter, healthier and more productive
a pig, in a cage on antibiotics
Electioneering
I will stop
I will stop at nothin'
Say the right things
When electioneering
I trust I can rely on ... your vote
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
Riot sheelds
Voodoo economics
It's just business
Cattle prods and the IMF
I trust I can rely on ... your vote
When I go forwards
You go backwards
And somewhere we will meet
Climbing up the walls
I am the key to the lock in your house, that keeps your toys in the basement
And if you get too far inside, you'll only see my reflection
It's always best when the light is off, I am the pick in the ice
Do not cry out or hit the alarm, we're friends till we die
And either way you turn, I'll be there, open up your skull
I'll be there, climbing up the walls
It's always best when the light is off, it's always better on the outside
Fifteen blows to the back of my head, fifteen blows to your mind
So lock the kids in safe tonight, shut the eyes in the cupboard
So not cry out or hit the alarm, you'll get the loneliest feeling that
either way you turn, I'll be there, open up your skull
I'll be there, climbing up the walls
Climb up the walls. climb up the walls
No surprises
A heart that's full up like a landfill
A job that slowly kills you
Bruises that won't heal
You look so tired n' unhappy
Bring down the government
They don't, they don't speak for us
I'll take a quiet life a handshake
Some carbon monoxide and
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
Silent
Silent
This is my final fit
My final bellyache with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please
Such a pretty house and
Such a pretty garden with
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises
No alarms and no surprises please
Lucky
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're standin' 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 glorious day
I feel my luck could change
(CHORUS) (BRIDGE)
We are standin' on the edge
The tourist
It barks at no one else but me
Like it's seen a ghost
I guess it's seen the sparks a-flowing
No one else would know
Hey man, slowdown
Slowdown
Idiot, slowdown
Slowdown
Sometimes I get overcharged
That's when you see sparks
They ask me where the hell I'm going
A thousand feet per second
Hey man, slowdown
Slowdown
Idiot, slowdown
Slowdown
