1. Lunacy Booth (Live) [ < top ]

Hey

Reveal yourself to me like cheap pornography
Picking at my guilt with promises of hell

Come on

Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know

Glad my mirror's broken, my image is a burden
Want to lose myself in the coming of the Lord

Hey

Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know

Reveal yourself to me
Reveal yourself to me
Reveal yourself to me
Reveal yourself to me

Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all that you know, yeah
Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all you fucking know
Sin, it's all that you know
Sin, it's all you fucking know

Hey

You're just the same as me
You're just the same as me
You're just the same as me
You're just the same as me
You're just the same as me
You're just the same as me
You're just the same as me
You're just the same as me

Good evening, Arnhem
Are you ready?
OK
Are you ready, Michael?
Fyfeski?

2. Loose (Live) [ < top ]

Let me try on your dress, it turns me on when we're a mess
Something's kicking in, I smell the summer on your skin
I'm sick of being down, we're coming up so let's go out
We won't live forever now, so let's make the most of it somehow

Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Today

I don't care where you're from, whatever planet you think you're on
'Cos you're my space cadet, I'll go anywhere with you, yeah
Maybe you're still lonely, but I love you, you're my best friend
We look like sister and brother, according to all our friends

Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Today

Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Today

Hey

There's no guns firing now, big yellow cranes hold up the clouds
And this season's changed me, I've fallen into a different skin
We make quite a pair and we look stupid and we don't care
We need no explanation, just keep on taking the happy pills

Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Today

Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Your body is loose (And you're going down), and you're all in jail
Your body is loose (And you're going down)
Today

Let me try on your dress

Cheers

OK, I'd like to introduce you to our new friends
This is, this guy's called Pixie, and this guy's called Dixie
And during this next song they're gonna do some mime for you on stage
They're performance artistes from Russia, OK

3. Die Laughing (Live) [ < top ]

Give me something to breathe
Give me a reason to live
Close your eyes and see
What you have inside

I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane

Now the dream is gone
And your friends just tell you lies
Then you realise
You're gonna die anyway

Hey

I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane

Lost in a world with no reality
I'm frightened to move
I'm frightened to speak
And I will kill for a good night's sleep
I'm feeling, I'm feeling dead, dead, dead, dead

I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane, I can't remember my own name
I think I've gone insane

I can't remember
I can't remember
I can't remember
I can't remember

We're having a fucking brilliant time up here, what about you lot?
We've got a friend of ours coming on with his cello of death
Sorry, cello alert, cello alert
Thank you

4. A Moment Of Clarity (Live) [ < top ]

I thought of you tonight, in simple twists and turns
Incarcerated here, I'm handcuffed to your world
Your innocence is cruel, coquettish and arcane
But I need it all the same

I thought of you tonight, in silent seething heat
Through charred and damned desire, dark Eros wounding me
Your innocence is cruel, and your ass like Jesus feet
Worth kissing, worth kissing

Give yourself to me, I share your need
Give yourself to me, I share your need
Give yourself to me, I share your need
Give yourself to me, I share your need

I thought of you tonight, through blank and starving eyes
In this one moment of clarity, blink the darkness in my eyes
Your lips like bruised vulva, your ass like Jesus feet
Give yourself to me

I thought of you tonight, in silent seething heat
Through charred and damned desire, dark Eros killing me
Your lips like bruised vulva and your ass like Jesus feet
Worth kissing, worth kissing

Give yourself to me, I share your need
Give yourself to me, I share your need
Give yourself to me, I share your need
Give yourself to me, I share your need

Kiss me through your warming darkness
Kiss me now so I can breathe
Kiss me once then I will leave you
Kiss me once then kiss yourself goodbye

I thought of you tonight, in simple twists and turns
Incarcerated here, I'm handcuffed to this world

Thank you

5. Our Love Must Die (Live) [ < top ]

This is a song about when someone that you love, falls out of love with you

My dear young lover, this is just to say I'm gone
I couldn't leave you if I faced your eyes and shaking
It was my emptiness that kept me hanging on
Forgive my loneliness, there's nothing I could say
And this is why our love must die

I thought of other girls when you made love to me
You gave yourself too much and I took full advantage
The more I pushed you back the more you clung to me
Don't want to be the one who reminds you of your father
This is why our love must die

My dear young lover, that was just to say I'm gone
I couldn't face your just the morning after, shaking
I'll come back one day when I feel so alone
Until then I know I'll just get my things and go
And this is why our love must die

Our love must die, our love must die
Our love must die, our love must die
Our love must die, our love must die
Our love must die, our love must die

Thank you very much

6. Knives (Live) [ < top ]

My girlfriend says that I need help
My boyfriend says I'd be better off dead

I'm gonna get drunk
Come round and fuck you up
I'm gonna get drunk
Come round and fuck you up

And you can't help my life
But you can hide the knives

My girlfriend says that I'm confused
My boyfriend says I'm bad fucking news

All people are shit
Bad trip tattoed on my brain
All people are shit
Bad trip tattoed on my brain

And you can't help my life
But you can hide, yeah, yeah, yeah

[..]

I wanna crawl up inside you and die
I wanna crawl up inside you and die
I wanna crawl up inside you and die
I wanna crawl up inside you and die

And you can't help my life
But you can hide the knives, yeah
You can't help my life
But you can hide, hey

Thank you very much

[..]

7. Turn (Live) [ < top ]

Turn and face the strange
The door is open, you're awake
You're storming heaven without thought
You're storming heaven without God

Remember, I know where you live
And I know you're on your own
I may forget, I don't forgive
I'm always home

You turn and face the strange
You turn and face yourself

I know when you lie
The brightness darkens in your eyes
This is yours to take control
This is yours, now hold your own

Remember, I know where you live
And I know you're on your own
I may forget, I don't forgive
I'm always home

You turn and face the strange
You turn and face yourself

Barging into the presence of God
Barging into the presence of God
Barging into the presence of God
Barging into the presence of God

(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God
(You turn) Barging into the presence of God

8. Screamager (Live) [ < top ]

(Here I am)

Go

With a face like this I won't break any hearts
And thinking like that I won't make any friends

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to think about anything like that

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to know about anything like that

I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you

Your beauty makes me feel alone
I look inside but no one's home

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to think about anything like that

Screw that
Forget about that
I don't want to hear about anything like that

I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you

I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you
I've got nothing to do, but hang around and get screwed up on you

But get screwed up on you
But get screwed up on you

Thank you very much
