Future Of The Left Album

Come alone
Yes
Why put the body where the body don't want to go?
Under my nails?
Yes
Why put the body where the body don't want to go?

I don't need a point because I didn't last summer
I don't need objectives
I don't need a process
I don't need a prison
(I don't need a prison)

Ran out of limbs on our big day
We left our thumbs in the hotel
I hurried back in your red shoes
But on the door was a sign

We're not alive, we're not alive
We're not at home for preg-er-nant callers (callers)
We're not alive, we're not alive
We're not at home for preg-er-nant callers (callers)

And then the tale took a tall turn
The devil thumb made a man a slave
We traveled north to our new hutch
And on the door was a sign

We're not alive, we're not alive
We're not at home for pregnant callers (callers)
We're not alive, we're not alive
We're not at home for pregnant callers (callers)

My body double
My body double
My body fried, they'll never take it alive

Mark Foley was right - there are no ghosts in this town, there is not reason to fear, there are no obstacles here
Mark Foley was right
there are no barriers for medicine
Mark Foley was right
there are no barriers for shame

Audience please!
Every minute matters!

All he ever wanted was a detonator

Colin is a pussy, a very pretty pussy
Colin is a pussy, a very pretty pussy cat
Colin is a wide-eyed wanton hopped-up
Hole of hail and hate
Felt him slip down the back of my leg
Found his hair by the castanets
Made him mad with the silence
Made him sick with the constant calm
Heard him sigh in the dead of the night
It's times like these make him wish I'd fail

Meadows, meadows
Thanks for the meadows
You take the a-roads
And we'll have the towns

Tories, Tories
Thanks for the Tories
You sleep with devils
And we'll wash our hands

Take a man to his nightmares in a landrover

Meadows, meadows
Thanks for the meadows
You take the a-roads
And we'll have the towns

From wild summers
To wild winters
Better bovine than equine
Better bovine than equine

From bold brothers
For stolen moments
Better bovine than equine
Better bovine than equine

Better bovine than equine
Better hedgehog than porcupine
Better half cut than border-line

Wave wave wave, I don't wanna wave wave
I don't wanna wave wave
I don't wanna wave at them

Then the past
Came upon her like waves
From the heart
From the...

Wave wave wave, I don't wanna wave wave
I don't wanna wave wave
I don't wanna wave at them

Made a living from contract bridge
Boring, but magnificent
Surely you're amazed by it
Suddenly these processes
Do not seem significant
Now we are not worthy of friends
Open wide for - sudden folk songs

Hide your dreams from capital
Everybody needs to eat
Even dogs and customs men
Suddenly these ostriches
Do not seem so interesting
Now we are not worthy of tans
Open wide for - sudden folk songs
Open wide for - certain doom

Hope is a hat-stand and hats are essential for travel
In climates of conflicting temperate condition
I hope that this hat-stand, it finds you at peace

Open wide for - sudden folk songs
Open wide for - certain doom
And suddenly folk songs are part of our future
And suddenly folk songs are part of our future

Leave your pride in the cabinet
Pay the man and be done with it
Now we are not worthy of pith
Face the facts, we're back in luck
Turn on the light and wake me up
Now we are not burdened by love

There's nothing like being owned
Kept by beens in a jelly mould
Brought out on special occasions
Served with black entertainment
Measured by the size of the rash minus income
Make it stop, we could all get together
And fucking burn the lot
Kept by bees in a glass case
Next to Atlantis, rendered badly by my oil paints

Trapped by ESP in the darkness
All those guys, they just want a part in your story

Small bones small bodies, sink into semantics
The slightest excuse - the tiniest exo-skeleton
She said, the fossil, it sets such a standard
Forgetting the reason - small bones, bigger problems
With this, I miss you, I finally admit that
And beg forgiveness, my finest exo-skeleton
I am the fossil, we are the fossil, that beg forgiveness
Small bones small bodies

Small bones small bodies,
Where's the harm in being accidentally miniaturized?
Who put the brakes on courages - my finest exo-skeleton?
She said, the fossil, it caused so much carnage
Forgetting the comeback - small bones, racist neighbours
With this, I miss you, I finally admit that
And beg forgiveness, my finest exo-skeleton
I am the fossil, we are the fossil, that beg forgiveness
Small bones small bodies

Grow into your body happily
Grow into your body happily

Woody was a wizard
Janie was an elf
And when they got together
They only ate sausage - sausage on a stick
It's so hard for me to stay here happily
It's so hard for me
To stay here

Woody was a wizard (a feeder of footsteps)
Janie was an elf (a brave disguise)
And when they got together (just for the record)
They only ate sausage - sausage on a stick
It's so hard for me
To stay here happily
It's so hard for me
To stay here

To stay - is not to breathe
She wept and then (and then) she came
She wept and then (and then) she came

Kate - complete him!
Kate - complete!
Kate - complete him!
Kate - complete!

Forty six seconds in your company
Or ninety four tears in a frozen wasteland
Thirty eight minutes in a chicken's nightmare
Or sixty two welcome homes in a dream
Hurry up and get some juice for the juice man
No big heads or the big man will loose your head
Button up and lock your heart on the way out
Tell your friends last night was the perfect fit
Real men hunt in packs

Yeah - lets' be responsible
For the bad bad bad bad blood
(And the good blood)

Eighty six impressions of a talented man
Or ninety nine gut-wrenching minutes of misery
Seven pica-seconds of letting you go
Then twenty five different homes in a year
(Twenty five different homes in a calender year)
Loosen up and tie your legs to the handrail
Grin that grin and pretend your were given in
Chew it up and spit back at the waitress
Leave your bra, I could do with material
Real men hunt in packs

Yes - they expect it of us
We are still operating
We are still operating

Place our feathers over our ears
Now we know what the cost is
Hurry our children out of the rain
And we'll compare psychosis
Bury our bodies close to the light
Bury our bodies close to the light
Bury our bodies close to the light
Bury our bodies

C'mon, c'mon, choose a franchise
C'mon, c'mon, team: seed
Take what you wanted and leave what you need

Tape these moments over our lives
Now we know what the point is
Hide our manners under our eyes
And we'll confuse genetics
Bury our bodies close to the light
Bury our bodies close to the light
Bury our bodies close to the light
Bury our bodies


C'mon, c'mon, choose a franchise
C'mon, c'mon, team: seed
Take what you wanted and leave what you need

Roll on

Your pity sets the bar so high
I can't believe it believe it myself
What a guy!
Your pity sets the bar so white
I can't believe it believe it myself
What a guy!
There are no bold statements in my paradiddle


Your pity sets the bar so high
I can't believe it believe it myself
What a guy!
Your pity sets the bar so white
I can't believe it believe it myself
What a guy!
Celebrate your long-lost brothers return
Celebrate your long-lost brothers return
He was a preacher man
He was a preacher man
He was a wide, wild, ideal

Throw your heart on the cordon,
Throw your heart on the cordon
Throw your heart on the cordon,
Throw your heart on the cordon to keep warm

I can mostly be found in places where you can be not
Occasionally always adrift of a point that I poked
I hope that your hope, just a fraction a day,
Descents into hopelessness
I'll walk through that door and embrace it all

Contrarian

I am terribly missing on fronts where I probably won't fight
I'll be goaded by beastly opponents that I'll never hate
Muddled and meddled and totally planned to the letter
If letters were men
I'll walk through that door and embrace it all

I am totally welcome at parties where I'd never stop for a moment or even acknowledge
Their passing as social occasions of gaseous discourtesy framed as my light entertainment
And furthermore this is my weekend
This is my new heart
This is my favourite person
Wrapped in a series of shadows and tied to this planets
I give you the future of what you demanded

[No lyrics]

This is a song for anyone
Anyone who wants it
This is a circular breath
This is as simple as breathing
This is a test of conscience
Everybody needs one

She is a delicate girl
He is a terrible dancer
This is a song for anyone
Anyone who needs it

Anyone who needs it

Anyone who feeds it
Anyone who needs it

This is a song to bring along
When no one understands you
This is the song of the year
If you only buy one song
make it this one
Is anybody watching?
Make it this one
You can't deny it
Everybody needs it
Anyone
Anyone loves an anthem
You can't deny it
Everybody needs some

Everyone
Everyone
Everyone needs one
