This Wreckage

And what if God's dead?
We must have done something wrong
This dark facade ends
We're independent from someone

This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to meet you, meet you
Soon

We write suggestions
Suggesting fading to silence
And that must please you
My mirror's tarnished with no help

This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to meet you, meet you Soon

Turn out these eyes
Wipe off my face
Erase me
Replay the end
It's all just show
Erase you

I need to I need to I need to

This wreckage I call me
Would like to frame your voice
This wreckage I call me
Would like to leave you, leave you
Leave you, leave you soon

The Aircrash Bureau

Hello, I'm the aircrash bureau
I bet you're so surprised to see me
I could specialize in rumors
I'll send shivers up your spine

Pilot, back, I need my squadron
I was flying before D-Day Now
I'm warning you of falling
I'll tell you when you're going down

Sometimes I get these questions
It reminds me of the skin game
We used to stand around on corners
Saying “well here we are again”

So now she motions closer
Now that's what I call romance
Someone's calling me but vaguely
You need the feeling not the man

Telekon

Where is my outline I start to fade
No concentration means fail, these days

I leave the table saying “I am real”
I feel the pressure like your eyes on me
Don't mention that name and books on love
I can't be sure, I can't be sure
You end on reel one
You end on reel one

You quote from “anxious” and things we do
I need protection from the likes of you
Do you begin to see that I don't know?
I live on memories that are hard to find
Send me a card and write “I think of you”
I'll say you lied, I'll say you're lying
You are, You are
Tell you a secret I'm sure to fall
My dog runs AWOL I blame you all
We're in formation saying “safe, safe, safe”
Turn up my collar and mix with dark
The speaker turns on me, I spot her eyes
It's hard to rbeathe, it's hard to breathe

You end on reel one
You end on reel one

You are, you are


Remind Me to Smile

We'll take a taxi to the show
We coule report by phone
We could remind ourselves that we must laugh

Reconsider fame
I need new reasons
This is detention, it's not fun at all

Remind me to smile
You know the old friends line
It gets so I feel like
I'm in this cold glass cage
I've got the horrors
Check over my shoulder
I punch the air and fight but no one's there

You you – oh no
Old scars – don't show
We fall – you see
Crawl crawl – in love
I dive – so clean
Young things – don't scream
Toys toys – so far
Boys boys – you are

(Chorus)

Get off the car and
Get off the phone
Move from my window leave me alone

Keep your revivals and
Keep your conventions
Keep all your fantasies, that's all we are

 
Sleep By Windows

You can cry by my window
You can crawl on the floor
You can scream if you want to
But I won't unlock the door

You can sleep in bus shelters
You can sleep in the park
But I'll rip up the trees
Until you tear yourself apart

But I don't love you
No I don't love you
Do you dream?

Back to surveillance
Open eyes and wash out 'tear'
A sign that says 'no exit'
And 'no-one can save you here'

I could talk about my programme
Where everything is white
I could specialise in pictures
Where nothing's ever right

But I don't love you
No I don't love you
Do you dream?

We are just sound
We are just noise
And we are all here to lie
Do you dream?

You sleep by windows
You sleep by windows

Do you cry?
Do you dream?
Do you?
Did you?

I’m an Agent

Send in eyes
Toughts of crashing, all those picutres
Send in thoughts of John the god

Send in dreams
Lovers on corners, clean my sheets
Your only chance is to breake the states

We are clean
Don't ask, I'm an agent
Send in change
Secretaries, nothing more
You can be replaced you know

Send in chance
Bad conditions, talk of leaving
Talk of walking out on me

We are clean
Don't ask I'm and agent

Send in you
Send in pain, send in lies
Send in words that I believed
Send in you
Stick on pretty aircraft nose
Nothing much to care about
Send in you
Just watch the face, you're sure to see
Something give this game away

Send in you
Get her out, get her out
Call me, just don't say the name

We are clean
Don't ask, I'm an agent

I Dream of Wires

I am the final silence
The last electrician alive
And they called me the sparkle
I was the best, I worked them all

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

We opened doors by thinking
We went to sleep by dialing
“O” We drove to work by proxy
I plugged my wife in, just for show

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

So I press “C” for comfort
I dream of wires, the old days

New ways, new ways
I dream of wires

Remember I was Vapour

There's nothing here but us
There's nothing here but us

Remember, I was vapour
Remember, I was just like you
Remember, I was liquid
Remember, I was someone too

Remember, I need others
Remember, I need oxygen
Remember, I need lovers
Remember, I need to forget

Chorus

Remember, I am human
Remember, I feel just like you
Remember, I had reasons
Remember, I had friends like you

Remember, I grow tired
Remember, I could end all this
Remember, I have memories
Remember, I need to forget

Chorus

Please Push no More

Now I'm behind glass
I'll talk to you
The telephone lines blind
You have defaced my face
I bet you laughed at me
You bright young things
And now I need no one
I miss you, so

Please push no more
Please push no more

Now it's all over for sure
I'll walk back home
We must all come down
We all grow old

We are close, we are hurt
So that was love
And love she kills me
It needs to, so

Please push no more
Please push no more
Please push no more
Please push no more

 

The Joy Circuit

Send in the guards
We are all new faces
I'm so sorry
But my reasons are wrong
My reasons are wrong

We are on joy circuit
The image fix Rewind, cry
Well it's somewhere to go
Well it's somewhere to go

Tell me of your pain
Love it, love it
Show me the new way
Love it, love it It's so unusual
But all I find is a reason to die
A reason to die

 

I Die: You Die

This is not love
This is not even worth a point of view
In Echo Park I
Pause for effect and whisper “Who are you?”

Chorus:
They crawl out of their holes for me
And I die: you die
Hear them laugh, watch them turn on me
And I die: you die
See my scars, they call me such things
Tear me, tear me, tear me

But I have your names
Screaming “You will suffer” and “You're all too late”
Now I feel young
Does everything stop when the old time lapse?

But I'm still frightened by the telephone

(chorus)

 

A Game Called Echo
Here we play games like turning men into boys
And everyone must cry or love
Recall 'My circuit'
Recall 'I'm not-you are'
Remember that I moved too soon
Corridor empty
Time to call in the stage
A game called echo
Now I ask questions I get so nervous of
A game called echo
We rename vehicles
You rename heros
I switch to auto
You are reception
I can take it or leave
Do I need permission to stop?
