Transmission
[Intro]
Radio, live transmission
Radio, live transmission
[Verse 1]
Listen to the silence, let it ring on
Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun
We would have a fine time living in the night
Left to blind destruction, waiting for our sight
[Verse 2]
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong
And hide from these days we remained all alone
Staying in the same place, just staying out the time
Touching from a distance, further all the time
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
[Verse 3]
Well I could call out when the going gets tough
The things that we’ve learnt are no longer enough
No language, just sound, that’s all we need know
To synchronise love to the beat of the show
And we could dance
[Chorus]
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio

Disorder
[Verse 1]
I’ve been waiting for a guide to come and take me by the hand
Could these sensations make me feel the pleasures of a normal man?
Lose sensation, spare the insults, leave them for another day
I’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling, take the shock away
[Verse 2]
It’s getting faster, moving faster now, it’s getting out of hand
On the tenth floor, down the back stairs, into no man’s land
Lights are flashing, cars are crashing, getting frequent now
I’ve got the spirit, lose the feeling, let it out somehow
[Verse 3]
What means to you, what means to me and we will meet again
I’m watching you, I’m watching her, I’ll take no pity from your friends
Who is right, who can tell and who gives a damn right now?
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
Until the spirit new sensation takes hold, then you know
[Outro]
I’ve got the spirit
But lose the feeling
I’ve got the spirit
But lose the feeling
Feeling, feeling, feeling, feeling
Feeling, feeling, feeling
Shadowplay
[Verse 1]
To the centre of the city where all roads meet
Waiting for you
To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank
Searching for you
I was moving through the silence without motion
Waiting for you
In a room with a window in the corner
I found truth
[Verse 2]
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death
Knowing no more
As the assassins all grouped in four lines
Dancing on the floor
And with cold steel, odour on their bodies
Made a move to connect
But I could only stare in disbelief
As the crowds all left
[Outro]
I did everything, everything I wanted to
I let them use you for their own ends
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you
To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you

Gouge Away
[Verse 1]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
[Chorus 1]
Missy aggravation
Some sacred questions
You stroke my locks
Some marijuana if you got some
[Verse 2]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
[Chorus 2]
Sleeping on your belly
You break my arms
You spoon my eyes
Been rubbing a bad charm with holy fingers
[Verse 3]
Gouge away
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to
[Chorus 3]
Chained to the pillars
A 3-day party
I break the walls
And kill us all with holy fingers
Gouge away (La la)
You can gouge away
Stay all day
If you want to

Levitate Me
[Verse 1]
Gimme help, give it hell
You can levitate me
Then take off them rings, off them holes
Levitate me
Higher place, levitate me
[Chorus]
Elevator lady, elevator lady
Elevator lady, elevator lady
Lady, levitate me
If all in all is true
If all in all is true
If all in all is true
If all is true
Won’t you please run over me?
Won’t you please run over me?
[Verse 2]
Shakey shake, hey, Shakey
Levitate me
Come on Pilgrim, you know he loves you
Levitate me
Higher place, he kicked a baby
[Chorus]
Elevator lady, elevator lady
Elevator lady, elevator lady
Elevator lady,
levitate me
If all in all is true
If all in all is true
If all in all is true
If all is true
Won’t you please run over me?
Won’t you please run over me?
Future Starts Slow
[Verse 1]
You can holler, you can wail
You can swing, you can flail
You can thump like a broken sail
But I’ll never give you up
If I ever give you up my heart will surely fail
[Verse 2]
And after all God can keep my soul
England have my bones
But don’t ever give me up
I could never get back up when the future starts so slow
[Pre-Chorus]
No longing for the moonlight
No longing for the sun
No longer will I curse the bad I’ve done
If there’s a time when your feelings gone, I wanna feel it
[Chorus]
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
(I don’t mind)
[Bridge]
There’s a time for the second best
And there’s a time when the feeling’s gone
But it’s hard to be hard I guess
When you’re shaking like a dog
[Chorus]
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
[Chorus]
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
You can swing, you can flail
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
(I don’t mind)
[Outro]
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
You can holler, you can wail
You can blow what’s left of my right mind
Y Control
Oh, so all my lovin’ goes
Under the fog, fog, fog
And I will leave them all
Well, I’m just a poor little baby
‘Cause, well, I believe them all
[Verse 2]
Oh, so while you’re growing old
Under the gun, gun, gun
And I believe them all
Well, I’m just one poor baby
‘Cause, well, I believe them all
[Pre-Chorus]
I wish I could buy back
The woman you stole
[Chorus]
Y-control, Y-control
You walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners
Out of control, out of control
You walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners
Out of control, high control

You walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners out
Under the fog, fog, fog

Well, I’m just a poor little baby
‘Cause, well, I believe them all

You walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners
Out of control, high control
You walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners
Out of control, out of control
You walk, walk, walk, walk, walk my winners out
Monkey Gone to Heaven
[Verse 1]
There was a guy
An under water guy who controlled the sea
Got killed by ten million pounds of sludge
From New York and New Jersey
[Chorus]
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
[Verse 2]
The creature in the sky
Got sucked in a hole, now there’s a hole in the sky
And the ground’s not cold, and if the ground’s not cold
Everything is gonna burn, we’ll all take turns, I’ll get mine too
[Chorus]
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
[Bridge]
Rock me!
[Verse 3]
If Man is five, if Man is five
If Man is five, then the Devil is six
Then the Devil is six, then the Devil is six
The Devil is six, and if the Devil is six
Then God is seven! Then God is seven!
Then God is seven!
[Chorus]
This monkey’s gone to Heaven
This monkey’s gone to Heaven

Give dirt to me
I’ve got lament
This human form
Where I was born
I now repent
[Chorus]
Caribou

Cheated Hearts
[Verse]
Cheated by the opposite of love
Held on high from up, up, up above
Kept my high from the second one
Kept my eye on the first one
Now, take these rings and stow them safe away
I’ll wear them on another rainy day
Take these rings and stow them safe away
I’ll wear them on another rainy day
[Pre-Chorus]
Well I’m
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off
And she’s
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off
And he’s
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off
And we’re
Taka-taka-taka-taka-takin’ it off
[Chorus]
Sometimes, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
[Bridge]
She’ll take on high
She’ll take on high
[Chorus]
Well sometimes, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
Well, I think that I’m bigger than the sound
[Verse]
Cheated by the opposite of love
Held on high from up, up, up above
Kept my high from the second one
Kept my eye on the first one

I’ll wear them on another rainy day
Take these rings and stow them safe away

Cut Your Hair
[Verse 1]
Darling, don’t you go and cut your hair
Do you think it’s gonna make him change?
I’m just a boy with a new haircut
And that’s a pretty nice haircut
Charts are like a puzzle, hitmen wearing muzzles
Hesitate, you die
Look around, around
The second drummer drowned
His telephone is found
[Verse 2]
Music scene is crazy, bands start up
Each and every day
I saw another one just the other day
A special new band
I don’t remember lying, I don’t remember a line
I don’t remember a word
But I don’t care, I care, I really don’t care
Did you see the drummer’s hair?
[Verse 3]
«Advertiser looks and chops a must
No big hair!»
Songs mean a lot when songs are bought
And so are you
Face right down to the practice room
Attention and fame’s a career]
Career, career, career
Career, career
Wave of Mutilation
[Verse 1]
Cease to resist, givin’ my goodbye
Drive my car into the ocean
You think I’m dead, but I sail away
[Chorus]
On a wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave, wave
[Verse 2]
I’ve kissed mermaids, rode the El Niño
Walked the sand with the crustaceans
Could find my way to Mariana
[Chorus]
On a wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave of mutilation
Wave, wave

Debaser
Got me a movie, I want you to know
Slicin’ up eyeballs, I want you to know
Girlie so groovy, I want you to know
Don’t know about you

But I am un chien andalusia
I am un chien andalusia

Trigger Cut
Lies and betrayals
Fruit-covered nails
Electricity and lust
Won’t break the door
I’ve got a heavy coat
It’s filled with rocks and sand
And if I lose it
[Chorus]
I’ll be coming back today (I’ve got a message for you)
I’ll be coming back today (I keep it in my hand)
You know I’m coming back one day (I’ve got a sister or two)
And I’ll be coming back today
[Verse 2]
Ex-magician
That still knows the tricks
Tricks are everything to me
Until it’s free
I’ve got a trigger cut
And I can’t pull it back
But if I learn how
[Chorus]
I’ll be coming back today (I’ve got a message for you)
You know I’m coming back today (I keep it in my hand)
You will look at me and say (I’ve got a sister or two)
That you just wish I went away
Sha-la-la-la-la-la
La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
Ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 3]
I learned the truth
The truth of the words
Truth I made for you
Because it’s just as good
And if I spit it out
Before I chew the ring
I’ll rearrange it
[Chorus]
‘Til it looks just like today (I’ve got a message for you)
And I’ll be comin’ back my way (I keep it in my hand)
Then you will look at me and say (I’ve got a sister or two)
That you just wish I went away

Boys Don’t Cry
I would say I’m sorry
If I thought that it would change your mind
But I know that this time
I have said too much, been too unkind
[Chorus]
I tried to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I tried to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
‘Cause boys don’t cry
Boys don’t cry
[Verse 2]
I would break down at your feet
And beg forgiveness, plead with you
But I know that it’s too late
And now there’s nothing I can do
[Chorus]
So I try to laugh about it
Cover it all up with lies
I try to laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes
‘Cause boys don’t cry
Boys don’t cry
I would tell you that I loved you
If I thought that you would stay
But I know that it’s no use
And you’ve already gone away
[Bridge]
Misjudged your limits
Pushed you too far
Took you for granted
I thought that you needed me more, more, more
[Chorus]
Now I would do ‘most anything
To get you back by my side
But I just keep on laughing
Hiding the tears in my eyes
‘Cause boys don’t cry
Boys don’t cry

Ceremony
[Verse 1]
This is why events unnerve me
They find it all, a different story
Notice whom for wheels are turning
Turn again and turn towards this time
All she ask’s the strength to hold me
Then again the same old story
Word will travel, oh so quickly
Travel first and lean towards this time
[Verse 2]
Oh, I’ll break them all, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Watching her, these things she said
The times she cried
Too frail to wake this time
[Verse 3]
Oh, I’ll break them down, no mercy shown
Heaven knows, it’s got to be this time
Avenues all lined with trees
Picture me and then you start watching
Watching forever
[Outro]
Forever, watching love grow
Forever, letting me know
Forever

Love Will Tear Us Apart
[Verse 1]
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions just won’t grow
And we’re changing our ways
Taking different roads
[Chorus]
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
[Verse 2]
Why is the bedroom so cold?
You’ve turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed?
Our respect runs so dry
Yet there’s still this appeal
That we’ve kept through our lives
[Chorus]
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
[Instrumental Break]
[Verse 3]
Do you cry out in your sleep?
All my failings exposed
There’s a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can’t function no more?
[Chorus]
But love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Then love, love will tear it apart again
Love, love will tear it apart again
Maps

Wait, they don’t love you like I love you

Made off
Don’t stray
My kind’s your kind

Oh say, say, say

Wait, they don’t love you like I love you
Wait, they don’t love you like I love you

Velouria
Hold my head
We’ll trampoline
Finally through the roof (Finally through the roof)
On to somewhere near
And far in time

Her covering
Traveling career (Traveling career)
She can really move
Oh velveteen

Even I’ll adore ya, my Velouria
Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Finally through the roof (Finally through the roof)
And how does lemur skin
Reflect the sea?

We will wade in the shine of the ever
We will wade in the tides of the summer
Every summer, every
My Velouria, my Velouria
[Verse 4]
Forever green
I know she’s here
In California (California)
I can see the tears
Of Shasta sheen

My Velouria, my Velouria (V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A)
Even I’ll adore ya, my Velouria (V-E-L-O-U-R-I-A)

Gold Soundz
[Verse 1]
Go back to those gold sounds
And keep my advent to your self
Because it’s nothing I don’t like
Is it a crisis or a boring change?
When it’s central, so essential
It has a nice ring when you laugh
At the low-life opinions
And they’re coming to the chorus now
[Chorus 1]
I keep my address to yourself ’cause we need secrets
We need secret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –crets back right now
[Verse 2]
Because I never wanna make you feel
That you’re social, never ignorant soul
Believe in what you wanna do
And do you think that is a major flaw
When they rise up in the falling rain?
And if you stay around
With your knuckles ground down
The trial’s over, the weapon’s found
[Chorus 1]
Keep my address to myself because it’s secret
‘Cause it’s secret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret
–Cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret, –cret back right now
[Verse 3]
So drunk in the August sun
And you’re the kind of girl I like
Because you’re empty and I’m empty
And you can never quarantine the past
Did you remember in December
That I won’t need you when I’m gone?
And if I go there, I won’t stay there
Because I’m sitting here too long
[Chorus 2]
I’ve been sitting here too long
And I’ve been wasted, advocating that word for the last word
Last words come up, all you’ve got to waste
There Is a Light That Never Goes Out
Take me out tonight
Where there’s music and there’s people
And they’re young and alive
Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one anymore
Take me out tonight
Because I want to see people
And I want to see lights
Driving in your car, oh, please don’t drop me home
Because it’s not my home, it’s their home
And I’m welcome no more
[Chorus]
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Verse 2]
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
And in the darkened underpass
I thought «Oh God, my chance has come at last»
But then a strange fear gripped me and I just couldn’t ask
Take me out tonight
Oh, take me anywhere
I don’t care, I don’t care, I don’t care
Driving in your car, I never, never want to go home
Because I haven’t got one
I haven’t got one
And if a double-decker bus crashes into us
To die by your side is such a heavenly way to die
And if a ten tonne truck kills the both of us
To die by your side, well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine
[Outro]
Oh, there is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
There is a light and it never goes out
Temptation
[Verse 1]
A heaven, a gateway, a hope
Just like a feeling I need, it’s no joke
And though it hurts me to treat you this way
Betrayed by words I’d never heard, too hard to say
[Refrain 1]
Oh, up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
Ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh, ooh-ooh
[Verse 2]
Each way I turn, I know I’ll always try
To break this circle that has been placed around me now
From time to time, I find I’ve lost some need
That was so urgent to myself, I do believe
[Refrain 1]
Up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
Up, down, turn around
Please don’t let me hit the ground
Tonight, I think I’ll walk alone
I’ll find my soul as I go home
[Refrain 2]
Oh, you’ve got green eyes, oh, you’ve got grey eyes
Oh, you’ve got blue eyes
Oh, you’ve got green eyes, oh, you’ve got blue eyes

[Outro]
Oh, it’s the last time, oh, it’s the last time
Oh, it’s the last time, oh, it’s the last time
Oh, it’s the last time
And I’ve never met anyone quite like you before
No, I’ve never met anyone quite like you before
