The Valley   London 2007-03-03

These are days of hit and run
In the stream with everyone
These are moments of our lives
On a wandering river
Going on together
Many journeys to arrive

I been walking through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows
And I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it
Through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours
And I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

When I think I'm being strong
And I lose direction
Then a life starts looking mischievous
Finding revelation
Out of desperation
Always stretching time but it's never long enough

You think you're happy, think you're free but maybe we're just comfortably decieved

But I'm running through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows
And I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it
Through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours
And I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

But I'm running through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows
And I feel it, I can see it, yes, I need it, I believe it
Through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours
And I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

Red Carpet Massacre   London 2007-02

Dark sun rose on the ridge cut clear across the sky
As good a day as any to die
No reservation Madam no reason to know why
Running late stiletto heels
Strike the crew, send up the wheels
You spend a life in preparation for this day
Breathe in the air it's loaded with fame
Check out those weapons sister before you hit the fray
String o pearls-V-ditzy gems
Enter the battle of the lenses

Red carpet massacre
Don't wanna hassle ya
Red carpet massacre
Death squad paparazzi ah!
Red carpet massacre
It's going to mess wiv ya
We're in business - you're on the hit-list

There's not so many now, still standing on their feet
The knives are out and singing so sweet
Engaged with sharper minds that cut you when you meet
Ain't the place to mess around
When someone wants to take you down

Maybe you think you're above it
But baby we know that you love it
Baby you know where to shove it
Apply your lipstick, for dying in public

Red carpet massacre
Don't wanna hassle ya
Red carpet massacre
Death squad paparazzi ah!
Red carpet massacre
Don't wanna mess wiv ya
Now it's time - next in line
We're so busted - done and dusted

Falling Down   Manchester 2007-05-21

Once was a man who consumed his place and time
He thought nothing could touch him
But here and now it's a different story-line
Like the straw he is clutching

Why has the sky turned grey?
Hard to my face and cold on my shoulder
And why has my life gone astray?
Scarred by disgrace I know that it's over

Because I'm falling down
With people standing 'round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time could I find
Someone out there to help me?

Howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head
Caught in silent slow-motion
How I wish it was somebody else instead
Howling at all this corrosion

Why did the luck run dry?
Laugh in my face so pleased to desert me
Why do the cruel barbs fly?
Now when disgrace can no longer hurt me

Because I'm falling down
With people standing 'round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time could I find
Someone out there to help me?
You see I'm falling down
With people standing 'round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time could I find
Someone out there to help me?

Why?

Because I'm falling down
With people standing 'round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time could I find
Someone out there to help me?

You see I'm falling down
With people standing 'round
But before I hit the ground
Is there time could I find
Someone out there to help me?

I don't know
Where to go
I don't know
Here I go

Box Full O' Honey   London 2007-02-01

At the sharp end of the view
The edge of me and you
In all good sense dare tread no further
And as the ghost will shiver trees
How I'm trembling on my knees
But I'm still drawn on by the the murmur

Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
My life's penitence for what?
What's so funny
Box full o' honey

What I thought a pretty tune
Was howling at the moon
To keep me company this evening
It's so lonely in the dirt
A-scratching at the hurt
That I so generously did leave you

Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
Some cruel penitence for what?
What's so funny?
Box full o' honey

Yeah...

Is she flirting with me now?
Oh is she dallying with me now?

Oh are you flirting with me now?
You'll always be my
Queen of tumbledown
Miss melancholy

Are you laughing at me now?
In my circumstance
When still I wear your crown
And my life's a penitence for what?
What's so funny?
Ain't it funny
Box full o' honey

Skin Divers NYC 2006-09-07

Walking under skies, waiting for the fall
Meet me at the cornershop I show you it all
Free you of your mind, something you won't find
In the West End pages with yer Google-dirty fingers
It's a skin dive
In deep, silence, we are... going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night... dip into the water

Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new, when you come up for air
When you come up for air

That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new, when you come up for air
When you come up for air

Wipe us off the face of the human race
Whichever way you look it's indisposed or disgraced
Fighting on the shore, the hoi polloi want more
Howling bloody murder but it's nothing, just a murmur
In your skin dive
In deep, silence, we are... going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night... slip into the water

Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new, when you come up for air
When you come up for air

That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new, when you come up for air
When you come up for air

A blushing rose is torn from these sugar walls
I misplaced my future, could I please borrow yours?
Paint it opalscene, you know what I mean
Anything you want to be, the only thing you want from me is...
Skin dive
In deep, silence, we are... going underwater
It's a lifeline
Teardrop, bullets, all night... going South Dakota

Oh, woh (8 times)

Baby girl, you swimmin' (oh, woh) a little too deep (oh, woh)
So deep (oh, woh) that I think you might hit a reef (oh, woh)
I think you're low on oxygen (oh, woh) and your tube got a leak (oh, woh)
Baby girl, swim to the top (oh, woh)
Grab my hand and hold me and breathe (oh, woh)

Baby, that's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new when you come up for air
When you come up for air

That's what it feels like when you come up for air
When you come up for air
You feel brand new, when you come up for air
When you come up for air

Tempted   London 2007-03-05

Jupiter rising through the flow
You require a little bit more
To excite you to go
Getting busy on the floor
All about the way you move it
When you really got to prove it
Finally you will know
What it is you're turning on

That is gonna tempt you - oh, yeah
Like you know it's meant to - oh, yeah
Devil gonna tempt you - oh, yeah
How much do you want to?
Oh, oh!

Give thanks to London coming undone
When you ride the underground
Sonic islands breaking silence
Got your party started now
And you love the way you move it
When you really got to prove it
Finally it's what you do
What it is you're turning on

That is gonna tempt you - oh, yeah
Like you know it's meant to - oh, yeah
Devil gonna tempt you - oh, yeah
How much do you want to?
Oh, oh!

That is gonna tempt you - oh, yeah
Like you know it's meant to - oh, yeah
Devil gonna tempt you - oh, yeah
Devil gonna tempt you - oh, yeah

If you want to know - oh, yeah
Do you want to know - oh, yeah
What it is you're turning on - oh, yeah
What it is you're turning on
If you want to know
What it is you're turning on
Do you want to know
What it is you're turning on

Zoom In   NYC 2006-09-05

Stood on the line
You understand I been waiting forever
Come rain come shine
In the wind in the snow in the filthy weather

You got it all worked it
Yeah but it knocks you out
I'm zooming in

Now she arrives
In a flaming crash like a falling star
Heading straight for the dive
Gonna make some cash with that avatar

You got it all worked out
I know you know I don't want you to go
Yeah but it knocks you out I'm zooming in on you on you

Don't look back we're an art attack (4 times)

You got it all worked out
Yeah but it knocks you out

We're not alone
In this Second Life there are millions like us
Right here in the stones in the air too bright
All the new insiders

You got it all worked out
I know you know I don't want you to go
yeah but it knocks you out I'm zooming in on you on you

Na na-na-na-na-na-na
I know you know I don't want you to go
Na na-na-na-na-na-na
I'm zooming in and out on you
I'm zooming in and out on you
Zooming in and out on you
Na na-na-na-na-na-na
I know you know I don't want you to go
Na na-na-na-na-na-na
I'm zooming in and out on you

She's Too Much   London 2007-03

She's gentle to the touch
She's everything head-first
So happy to be causing trouble
Sometimes the pressure gets too much
And you think she's going to burst
And shatter like a Xmas baubel

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner

She cries when she's alone
For all life's little knocks
Everything that's supposed to make us tougher
Thinking it doesn't really show
But I know how she hurts
And I can't bear to see her suffer

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her
In the air as she falls with my arms around her

Holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin
Because she's everything - and I don't think she knows

She is such - a gentle touch
She's too much - the gentle touch

She likes to catch the sun
Plays with it like a ball
And never mind whatever keeps it burning
Someday she might just be the one
Whose going to save us all
If this apocalypse is coming

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her
When she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner
I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her
In the air as she falls with my arms around her
Holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin
Because she's everything - but I don't think she knows

She is such - a gentle touch - I don't think she knows
She's too much - the gentle touch - I don't think she knows
She is such - a gentle touch - I don't think she knows
She's too much - the gentle touch

Dirty Great Monster   London 2007-05-20

There's a dirty great monster in this house
We pretend that it's not there
And there's no escape from its grip
But nobody seems to care

Do you ever wonder
About the days
When we were staright?
But Daddy got the hunger
So much to hide
We learned to lie

So watch yourself in the hallway
You're not supposed to know
Coz we're all afraid of each other
We're the victims in this show

Well do you ever wonder
About the days
When we were straight
When Daddy got the hunger
Too much to hide
We learned to lie

Silently outnumbered
We made mistakes
When we were straight
Now we're all going under - oh, oh
So with a sigh
We say good-bye

Last Man Standing   London 2007-03

Now an unexpected peace comes to the day
As the howling din of fighting dies away
When the hanging dust is clearing from the air
You can just make out a lonely figure there

Cry Baby Cry   London 2007-06-05

One o' these nights you wait 'n' see
One o' these nights you're gonna realise
The way of pride comes at a cost
Leaving you short on sympathy
But here is the evidence you need to know
You're better off than the rest
Craving attention more'n touch
For all that time it's nothing much to show
Keeping it all together seems like forever
One o' these days you'll kiss and tell
Face in the mirror, gonna spell it out
What ever do you know, what do you do you know?

Your selfish obsession it's fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you cry-baby-cry
But it ain't gonna kill ya now

Can you depend on your Champagne
Socialist friends to drop your name in their 4x4 supernova rides?
However great they claim to be
Only betrays their insecurity
See how they fall from those heights
Afraid of dragons in the smoke
Wanna go rehab but that's a joke, its getting old
Don't tell that one no more, we heard it before
You're welcome to celebrity
Doing nothing so famously must wear your reputation raw, it must be such a bore

Your selfish obsession it's fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you cry-baby-cry
But it ain't gonna kill ya now

Cry-baby-cry
Cry-baby-cry

Your selfish obsession it's fake suicide
You can't see the truth for the dollars in your eyes
They're fading and that makes you cry-baby-cry
But it ain't gonna kill ya now
It does make you stronger yeah!

Cry-baby-cry
Cry-baby-cry
Cry-baby-cry
Cry-baby-cry
