Get into the car and keep it down
City lights look like warnings now
She's got someone that pays for things
Trust me she won't miss a thing
Come with me and believe me
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
I get by on what I have
Less than Jesus, more than dad
Enough to keep me in this state
Ticking through to the next escape
Come with me and believe me
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
Yeah (happy people have no stories)
I woke up late and I rolled the stone
Laziness and death in one
You were once a gentleman
Ended up a bitter man
Come with me and believe me
Yeah (happy people have no stories)

Isolation (Consolidated Synth Mix) [ < top ]
Every evening, every day
Calling for love that's from above
Everyone wanting it for real
Expecting devotion and love
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Surrender to self preservation
And others who cannot themselves
Life has been touched to perfection
A face is like anything else
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Mother I tried, do believe me
I'm doing the best things that I can
I'm ashamed of the things that I've been put through
I'm ashamed of the person who I am
But if you could just see the beauty
These things I could never describe
Pleasurable ways of distraction
This is my wanting cry
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Isolation, isolation
Isolation
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
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
OK, Fyfe, our drummer, is not well tonight
He's gone to sit down for five minutes,
so you're gonna be stuck with Our Love Must Die
This is a song about when someone that you love, falls out of love with you
Our Love Must Die (Live) [ < top ]
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
