1. Emotion Sickness

Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow

Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and

Emotion sickness
Addict with no heroine
Emotion sickness

Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray

Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

Emotion sickness
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt
Emotion sickness
Lessons learnt

2. Anthem for the Year 2000

We are the youth, we'll take your fascism away
We are the youth, apologise for another day
We are the youth, and politicians are so sure
We are the youth, and we are knocking on death's door

Never knew we were living in a world with a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world with a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world and the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you in the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world with a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world with a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world and the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000
Make it up to you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000 with you...

Never knew we were living in a world with a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world with a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world and the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world, world who cares at all

We'll make it up to you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000
Make it hard for you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000
Make it hard for you in the year 2000
Build it up for you in the year 2000 with you...

3. Ana's Song (Open Fire)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine a pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker

Sandpaper tears corrode the filth
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you
Open fire on the needs designed
Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you

4. Spawn Again

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free
When trading soldiers for steak

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision

Discard the old and in with the new
Discard the old and in with the fashion

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve

Who's the bad guy for iron require mince
These are the facts
So eat what you murder
This is animal liberation
Eight billion killed for human pleasure

Bring on the ape farm
Demolish the monkeys
Drink up, drink up
Look down on junkies
A new hypocritical look and ambition
The time has come to make the decision you...

Drink up, drink up, look down
I'll hold it back, I'll hold it back
Oh

Discard the old
In with the fashion

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes...

5. Miss You Love

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss you love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love
Remember two days
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the way you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

6. Dearest Helpless

Dearest helpless
Intent's not as bad as the action
Take a breath to distort
The fear in your eyes
I don't mean it to hurt
But every time I hate you
I think of you first

He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

Equalize the pressure, it's all too much
Sex drugs and image is just enough
To get you by in the real world

He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

He's made you blind
I'm just the kind to bring you, to bring you...
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

7. Do You Feel The Same

Moon covered determined
To find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach
Try to decrease
To make it easier (on me)
Despise myself for what you've done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself
Cause no-one will
I'll make it easier

Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun

Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come

Hold yourself
Cos no-one will
I'll be there to take the spill
Cleanse your soul
Change the tide and ride the wave back to me
Stay alert cause I'm obsessed
Surely I can't be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine

Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun

Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway

Be the one
Without the gun

Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come

8. Black Tangled Heart

Maybe your luck has changed settle down
Maybe I'm just deraged and on the rebound
Maybe love was the thing holding me back from all
Maybe I'm just the thing to break my own fall

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you see
The black tangled heart fall

Maybe departure's good
Makes room for more start
To mass produce for a chance to ignore
Maybe you'll kill yourself before you get a turn
Maybe I'll fall in love and never learn

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you see
The black tangled heart fall

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you see
The black tangled heart fall

9. Point of View

Liberate the people that you hate
Then cut yourself again
Elevate then drop back down
And see which ones remain
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it

You'll make it through
With another point of view again

You'll make it through
With another point

Accusation, does yes mean no?
Or have you changed your mind?
Kill the nation before it grows
And be one of a kind
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it

You'll make it through
With another point of view again

You'll make it through
With another point

Pretend the world's an ocean
Oh, I'm drowning

Pretend that I'm pollution
Oh, I'm dying

Pretend the steak's a cowboy
And the kiss will kill you

You'll make it through
With another point of view again

You'll make it through
With another point

[Top]


10. Satin Sheets

Just wait for us to say it
And we'll make you lie
And anyone who cares
Lies on satin sheets

And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

Wears a saturn bracelet
Lined with cocaine coins
"No chance" slipped away
Toddley training toys...

And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

[Top]


11. Paint Pastel Princess

It's only self rejection
With a mean left
Cold carbon copied coping
And it's mean theft
That's been left behind

Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

Waste life when youth is sweeter, neater
Content with contents
Cultures cringing at accents
And it's too tense, camp out

She tastes the candy
Sugarless, cancerous
Crave cocaine cop shows
I'll beg you, beg you

But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me

But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me

Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

[Top]


12. Steam Will Rise

Contain yourself
I will compress what I am to

Replace yourself
With what you have
Your substitute

Only wanted a piece of myself

Steam will rise
Steam will rise
Steam will rise
Steam will rise

Refrain
Confess
Contain
Repress
Pretend I'm dead
Abuse myself
Confuse myself
I won't be led

Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself

Steam will rise
Steam will rise
Steam will rise
Steam will rise

Steam will rise
Steam will rise
Steam will rise
Steam will rise

  • London's Burning (cover of The Clash)

    London's burning!
    London's burning!
    London's burning!
    London's burning!

    All across the town, all across the night
    Everybody's driving with full headlights
    Black or white turn it on, face the new religion
    Everybody's sitting 'round watching television!

    London's burning with boredom now
    London's burning dial 99999
    London's burning with boredom now
    London's burning dial 99999

    I'm up and down the Westway, in an' out the lights
    What a great traffic system - it's so bright
    I can't think of a better way to spend the night
    Then speeding around underneath the yellow lights

    London's burning with boredom now
    London's burning dial 99999
    London's burning with boredom now
    London's burning dial 99999

    Now I'm in the subway and I'm looking for the flat
    This one leads to this block, this one leads to that
    The wind howls through the empty blocks looking for a home
    I run through the empty stone because I'm all alone

    London's burning with boredom now
    London's burning dial 99999
    London's burning with boredom now
    London's burning dial 99999

    London's burning!
    London's burning!
    London's burning!
    London's burning!

  • Untitled

    I'm just another body down
    Internal bleeding round and round

    And all I keep thinking of are ways to die alone
    And all I keep thinking of are ways to die alone

    A portrait of my skeletal gain
    Left selfish and hungry so feed me the pain

    Escape reality with new pain
    Then let the cycle start again

    And all I keep thinking of are ways to die alone
    And all I keep thinking of are ways to die alone

    Dream of content, a pain filtered farm, all I can say...

    Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind
    Dreams are bad when negativity's a state of mind

    Dreams are bad when all they do is leave the truth behind

    Dreams are bad

    [Top]


  • Trash

    I'll play something extraordinary

    Gain, gain

    Gain

    One, two, three, four

    Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
    It's so hard to find out who you wanna be
    Welcome! Nothing short of anarchy
    It's so hard to find out who you wanna be - oh!

    Go!

    I couldn't find what you needed - ooh to be a double
    A big pill but you know that you need a poison

    Open, you need it but I returned the point of acceptance
    How brave, your parades never do much

    Violence!
    Hopeless fight!
    Call it straight!

    Big black steel cap dealt rejection

    Yeah, yeah
    Hey, hey, hey, hey
    Yay
    Ugggh!

  • Wasted (cover of Black Flag)

    One Two Three Four

    Hey!

    I was so wasted

    I was so wasted
    I was a hippie
    I was a burnout
    I was a dropout I was out of my head
    I was a surfer
    I had a skateboard
    I was so heavy man, I lived on the strand

    I was so wasted

    I was so fucked up
    I was so messed up
    I was so screwed up I was out of my head
    I was so jacked up
    I was so drunk up
    I was so knocked out, I was out of my head

    I was so wasted
    I was wasted

  • Fix Me (cover of Black Flag)

    Go!

    Someday
    I'll feel no pain
    Someday
    I won't have a brain
    They'll take away the part that hurts
    and let the rest remain

    Fix me
    Fix my head
    Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead

    Someday
    We'll all be rich
    Someday
    I won't listen to you bitch
    I'll turn up the volume
    And you can hear all the shit we play just for you

    Fix me
    Fix my head
    Fix me please, I don't wanna be dead
    Fix it

  • Minor Threat (cover of Radio Birdman)

    We're not the first, I hope we're not the last
    'Cause I know we're all heading for that adult crash
    The time is so little, the time belongs to us
    Why is everybody in such a fucking rush?!

    Make do with what you have
    Take what you can get
    Pay no mind to us
    We're just a minor threat

    We're just a minor threat

    Early finish, I was late to start
    I might be an adult, but I'm a minor at heart
    Go to college, be a man, what's the fucking deal!?
    It's not how old I am, it's how old I feel

    Take your time
    Try not to forget
    We never will
    We're just a minor threat

    We're just a minor threat

    And that's a promise
