I Know Where God Is
03:42

As for me and my house
I'm not bothering about what men may say
When in five years none of our people have died
And there's never been a casket rolled through People's Temple
When twenty-four times in this year
And the year's not out
They've brought the dead in the door
And they've gone out alive
No one's got the answers
But none get out alive
Guess life's the only illness
That no one can survive
No one's got the answers
Which only goes to prove
That no one knows the question
When they've dropped dead in their seat
They've been resurrected
I'm not bothering about what you have to say
I'm not bothering about your opinions
I'm living in the actual conscious presence of God in the Earth-plane
You see, I know where God is
He's in my hands
He's in my feet
He's in my body
No one's got the answers
But none get out alive
Guess life's the only illness
That no one can survive
No one's got the answers
Which only goes to prove
That no one knows the question
Ooh, I'm living it
I'm living it
I'm living it
Ooh, I'm living it
I'm living it
I'm living it
No one's got the answers
But none get out alive
Guess life's the only illness
That no one can survive
No one's got the answers
Which only goes to prove
That no one knows the question
No one's got the answers
But none get out alive
Guess life's the only illness
That no one can survive
No one's got the answers
Which only goes to prove
That no one knows the question

Wanderlust
02:33
|

No time left to be a hero
Let's just run away to Rio
Yellow sands, summer air
Your hazel eyes, your silver hair
Let's just run away to Rio
Under the Sheffield skies is where we fell in love
With every year that goes by with grey clouds up above
Wanderlust is calling
Let's leave in the morning
D'you wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go?
There's no need to be embarrassed
Tell me, what do you think of Paris?
'Cause over there la vie est belle
And all of this can go to hell
We could lose ourselves in Paris
Under the Sheffield skies is where we fell in love
With every year that goes by with grey clouds up above
Wanderlust is calling
Let's leave in the morning
D'you wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go?
We only get so many times to go around
Go around
With every single night I spend in this town
We only get so many times to go around
Go around
Oh, so while we're acting crazy
Do you remember Alberese?
That little place in Italy
With no one there but you and me
And no one's heard of Alberese
Under the Sheffield skies is where we fell in love
With every year that goes by with grey clouds up above
Wanderlust is calling
Let's leave in the morning
D'you wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go?
Under the Sheffield skies is where we fell in love
With every year that goes by with grey clouds up above
Wanderlust is calling
Let's leave in the morning
D'you wanna go
Wanna go, wanna go
Wanna go?

Dinosaurs and Meteors
03:41

Love is a drug
Love is a drug and I can't get enough
Totally hooked
Totally hooked and I'm not giving up
Don't overthink it
Nod and a wink it
Just rock the boat
You'll never sink it
That's just the prequel
Wait for the sequel
Both of us know what one and one equals
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
When it's us v. the world
Us v. the world
Then the tides can be turned
And they're all unprepared
All unprepared
'Cause they're all running scared
A force of nature
We'll decimate you
We'll send you back to your creator
No explanation
What an equation
We'll send them all to their damnation
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
Dinosaurs
Meteors
Meteors
Can't get enough
Can't get enough and I'm not giving up
Love is a drug
Love is a drug and I'm just coming up
No point in waiting
It's over-rated
It's always better right now than later
We're on a mission
We've got ambition
We'll make them all sit back and listen
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
And we're unstoppable
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
And we're unstoppable
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors
We blew the whole thing open
They're dinosaurs
We're meteors

A Guy With A Bad Idea
03:48
|
|||
No idea
What half your lyrics mean
You overcomplicate to muddy the meaning
Nothing clear
Just somewhere in between
Overtly clever and completely misleading
It's all too much
I'm cleaning it up, cleaning it up
Beyond redeeming
I've had enough
I'm cleaning it up, cleaning it up
It has no meaning
You've no power here
You're just a guy with a bad idea
You've no power here
You're just a guy with a bad idea
Mainly here to give a guarantee
Don't underestimate the power of disclosure
I'll make it clear
It isn't only me
I know you're scared about the overexposure
It's all too much
I'm cleaning it up, cleaning it up
Beyond redeeming
I've had enough
I'm cleaning it up, cleaning it up
It has no meaning
You've no power here
You're just a guy with a bad idea
You've no power here
You're just a guy with a bad idea
Fucker and a fool
So sue me
Fucker and a fool
So sue me
You've no power here
You're just a guy with a bad idea
You've no power here
You're just a guy with a bad idea
You've no power here
You're just a guy with a bad idea
You've no power here
(So sue me)
You're just a guy with a bad idea
You've no power here
(Fucker and a fool)
You're just a guy with a bad idea

It wasn't easy staying sanguine
Particularly when you looked around for someone to blame
I can't deny that I was angry
At something that you said was just a part of the game
Justification's not an option
And now I've got to tell you that you've had your time
You say it's just overreaction
And here come your pre-described alibis
We redefine a minus sign
But you don't get to touch
And you don't get to judge
And you don't get to love me, no, no
You're worldly wise
Full of lies
And you don't get to see
And you don't get to need
And you don't get to leave me, no, no
You justify
But I'm no white knight
I even offered you a life raft
You pushed it out to sea
And you set it on fire
You threw yourself right down the mineshaft
Allowed yourself to revel in the heat of denial
And now you say this doesn't make sense
It's blue on blue and you're caught in crossfire
Now you're alone just with your conscience
Just you and your saturnine cheap red wine
We redefine a minus sign
But you don't get to touch
And you don't get to judge
And you don't get to love me, no, no
You're worldly wise
Full of lies
And you don't get to see
And you don't get to need
And you don't get to leave me, no, no
You justify
But I'm no white knight
Said you had a dream of us
Dirty words from dirty books
Dirty deeds are covered up
Told me I was beautiful
(Told her she was beautiful)
What makes you think I give a fuck
(And now I've got to tell you that you've had your time)
What makes you think I give a fuck
And here come your pre-described alibis
We redefine a minus sign
But you don't get to touch
And you don't get to judge
And you don't get to love me, no, no
You're worldly wise
Full of lies
And you don't get to see
And you don't get to need
And you don't get to leave me, no, no
You justify
But I'm no white knight

Big Sky
04:10
|

When you're all out of chances and you're wanting to run
When you're all out of answers for what life's become
Time, time, time's a gun
When there's bad circumstances and shit's come undone
Hide from the moonshine
Pray for the sunrise
(Can anybody save me?)
Way past the deadline
Head for the coastline
Dream, dream, dream
Dream of the sunshine
Wanna be under the big sky
Wanna walk through the pines, down to the sea
Down to the sea, down to the sea
Sunshine
Down to the sea
Wanna be under the big sky
Wanna walk through the pines, down to the sea
Down to the sea, down to the sea
I'm dreaming of the big sky
When you've burnt all your bridges and there's bad times to come
(I'm drowning)
When you've lost all your riches and you're down to the crumbs
Time, time, time's a gun
There's a place that bewitches, you've just gotta run
Hide from the moonshine
Pray for the sunrise
(Can anybody save me?)
Way past the deadline
Head for the coastline
Dream, dream, dream
Dream of the sunshine
Wanna be under the big sky
Wanna walk through the pines, down to the sea
Down to the sea, down to the sea
Sunshine
Down to the sea
Wanna be under the big sky
Wanna walk through the pines, down to the sea
Down to the sea, down to the sea
Time, time, time's a gun
Wanna be under the big sky
Wanna walk through the pines, down to the sea
Down to the sea, down to the sea
Sunshine
Down to the sea
Wanna be under the big sky
Wanna walk through the pines, down to the sea
Down to the sea, down to the sea
I'm dreaming of the big sky

Shitshow
02:48
|

Serving with distinction
In this broken kingdom
One for all and all of it for them
If their nests are feathered they'll be fine
They've got their hands in our pockets
And fingers in our pies
Guess it's just a shit show
Just another shit show
Get ready for the shit show
A messy fucking shit show
Earnings can be handsome
When holding us for ransom
Scraps for us and all the rest for them
If they keep the power, they'll be fine
Bank accounts are looking healthy
And wallets are all lined
Guess it's just a shit show
Just another shit show
Get ready for the shit show
A messy fucking shit show
Live a life of pleasure
Dragons hoarding treasure
Try to steal, they're burning us alive
How many years on our knees before we're standing up
How many times will they lie until we're rising up
What is the price for our silence?
How much is enough?
That's enough
Guess it's just a shit show
Just another shit show
Get ready for the shit show
A messy fucking shit show
Guess it's just a shit show
Just another shit show
Get ready for the shit show
A messy fucking shit show

The World Turns
03:31

2am and I'm floating
Sailing up on the skyline
Call Richard Ashcroft, tell him that they work
Fingers twitch and I'm smoking
Heart is beating a drumline
Crush it out and watch the embers burn
The world turns
I'm dizzy from the ride
4am and I'm coasting
Cruising into a landing
Can't quite focus on the task at hand
Sink deep into the sofa
It's much too late to be standing
Slowly feel I start to understand
The world turns
I'm dizzy from the ride
Close my eyes
Drift into the light
Drift into the light
Drift into the light
It's 7am
The sky's a pastel pink
A moment to pause
A little time to think
The sound of the dawn
The smell of the dew
I'm catching my breath
A hell of a view
A fundamental change in how I perceive
The warmth of the sun
I'm starting to believe
That life is a gift we're lucky to receive
Drift into the light
A fundamental change in how I perceive
The warmth of the sun
I'm starting to believe
That life is a gift we're lucky to receive
The world turns
I'm dizzy from the ride
Close my eyes
Drift into the light
Drift into the light
Drift into the light
Drift into the light

Zero

We came in our droves lining up to support you
The city that forged you
A guard of honour for a hero's welcome
The return of the kings
And the tribal full-throated love that it brings
And we sing
As the opening chord rings out we sing
And you preen and pose and croon and pout
And stare over our heads as we shout
Bellowing the lines that you mined from our lives
Reflected back they feel like lies on your lips
As you sway your hips
Foot up on a monitor
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Thanks for the memories
And we wait for a sign that you're still one of us
But our hopes are crushed
You're not from California, you're from Shire Green
So what does this mean?
So cold you're arctic
So cold you can't trick what we see with our eyes
The band are really good but they're not having a nice time
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Thanks for the memories
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Thanks for the memories
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Thanks for the memories
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Thanks for the memories
The band are really good, but they're not having a nice time
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Zero connection, zero chemistry
Thanks for the memories

Vincent Vega

Here we go then
This is the night
7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12 boys stood side by side
Beards in perfect lines
Hair that shines
Trainers fresh and clean and box-fresh white
Teeth are bright
Eyes alight
Everybody buzzing for the perfect night
Everybody buzzing for the dynamite
"Rah, rah, rah," go the boys at the bar
With their flat caps and their paper wraps
And their shots and their pints of Stella Artois
And they talk of their trophy jobs
And their trophy wives
And their trophy kids
And their trophy cars
And it's all just a blur if you're her
Cause she's heard it all before
But she forces a smile as she pulls a pint
And puts a Guinness to settle on the bar
Cause she can't do much to stop the endless "rah, rah, rah, rah, rah"
Cause they're mashed and they're smashed
But the place will stay untrashed
If she smiles when she's asked
She acts like she doesn't mind it a bit
When they stare at her tits
And the queue for the bog is as deep as the queue for the bar
Cause they've got to stay topped up
Keep this buzz
The night is young
And the shout goes up "stag, stag, stag"
As they pass the bag
Cause they mix and match
A little bit of this
A little bit of that
And it all adds up
A rush of blood
And they're feeling dark
And they're rushing out the back
Cruising round like Vincent Vega
All whacked up like the Fun Lovin' Criminals
Cruising round like Vincent Vega
All whacked up like the Fun Lovin' Criminals
Cruising round like Vincent Vega
All whacked up like the Fun Lovin' Criminals
Cruising round like Vincent Vega
All whacked up like the Fun Lovin' Criminals
Cruising round like Vincent Vega
