The Bluetones Album

Here it comes again, in accurate cycles
Sticking all it's pins in my skin
Like a hurricane, it spits and it's spiteful
Throws us back to where we begin

And here it comes again
The chip on my shoulder
Always gives me something to prove
And with encouragement, i'll only get bolder
Try to keep things locked in a groove

Oh but then I look at you, as if you'd know what to do

Here it comes again, taste the excitement
Hear it bouncing off of the walls
And i'm as passenger, with you as my pilot
I couldn't feel much safer at all

And here it comes again, so concentrate hard now
Never let me out of your sight
Im losing altitude, i'm falling apart now
This could be my longest night

Oh but then I look at you, as if you'd know what to do
I can feel us start to go, sucked in by the undertow.

Blood tubes inside the brain, you pull that face again
You said you can't help it, you really can
But here it comes again

Blood tubes inside the brain, endorphins numb the pain
You know I can't help it, I really can't
But here it comes again

And here it comes again, in accurate cycles
Sticking all it's pins in my skin
Like a hurricane, I spit on my rivals
Throws us back to where we begin

Oh but then I look at you, as if you'd know what to do
I can feel us start to go sucked in by the undertow

Blood tubes inside the brain, you pull that face again
You said you can't help it, you really can
But here it comes again

Blood tubes inside the brain, endorphins numb the pain
You know I can't help it, I really can't
But here it comes again

I'm a fast boy
I've got worry
I've got engagements
I'm in a hurry
So come on

Don't use telephones
I won't hear ya
Beneath the radar
So inferior
So come on

Who's the man every weekend
Who's the fast boy, who's your best friend
First you twist my arm, then you grease my palm
Keeping cool and calm, not doing any harm.

I'm a fast boy
I'm on the guest list
I've got a gram of joy
Wrapped in a clenched fist
So come on

Who's the man every weekend
Who's the fast boy, who's your best friend
First you twist my arm, then you grease my palm
Keeping cool and calm, not doing any harm.

Please not a word to the mother
Please not a word to the mother
Please not a word to the mother
So come on

Ugly hyena
Your misdemeanor,
Reveals the truth beneath your veneer
Filthy quizling, empty changeling
Not quite as lily-white as you once appeared
Are you aware of what you're doing?
Do you even care just who you're screwing

Back stabber, money grabber
You want to grind my bones to climb the ladder
Insipid, and weak with it
But I mistook you for a kindred spirit
And to think that you almost fooled us
With promises and acquired kudos

Liquid lips wants
Liquid lips gets
Liquid lips too shallow to have any regrets
Liquid lips suck
Liquid lips blow
Liquid lips knows how the conspiracy goes
Liquid lips once
Liquid lips twice

Some men will love you
Some men will hate you
Some men just seem intent to disintegrate you
Without a motive, without a reason
Maybe your kinda face just ain't in season
You got a style that is so attractive
But when you smile it's radioactive

Liquid lips wants
Liquid lips gets
Liquid lips too shallow to have any regrets
Liquid lips suck
Liquid lips blow
Liquid lips knows how the conspiracy goes
Liquid lips once
Liquid lips twice

Are you aware of what you're doing?
Do you even care just who you're screwing?

Liquid lips wants
Liquid lips gets
Liquid lips too shallow to have any regrets
Liquid lips suck
Liquid lips blow
Liquid lips knows how the conspiracy goes
Liquid lips once
Liquid lips twice
Liquid lips baby you would sleep on ice
Liquid lips over
Liquid lips out

I think that I might have
Broken your fist with my face
I’m so sorry, I didn’t mean it
I won’t flinch and offer you a clean hit

You’re no fun anymore
You used to be once, but that was before
Tip off your face and get off the floor
Cos you’re no fun anymore

I keep hearing the same rumours
About you and satsumas
Role playing sensation
Strange games with asphyxiation

I can’t say the word, whoa lux Luxembourg

What you waiting for, what you waiting for?
Rip into me, rip into me

Oh, you’re no fun anymore
You used to be once, but that was before
Tip off your face and get off the floor
Cos you’re no fun anymore
You’re no fun anymore
You used to be once, but that was before
Tip off your face and get off the floor

I got a tiger in the tank
I got money in the bank
And I’ve got just myself to thank yeah
Not what you’d call a crime
I got aces in the hole
I got the colours on my pole
But there’s an echo in my soul yeah
Rings louder all the time
Cos I hit the runway
With such momentum I can’t stop

I’m never dirty in the fight
I never step into the light
I’m never anything but right yeah
Cos I’m never anything
You thought to meet me more than most
But I was really just a ghost
And we were never even close no
Till we were enemies
I hit the runway
With such momentum I can’t stop

A big problem to avoid
A big problem to address
Now that we’ve all gone out to regress again
A big problem to avoid
A big problem to resolve
Now to regress, so now to evolve again

City living well it ain't for most
And that's a fact not an empty boast
Street scene and robotin din
Sun shines but you can't get it
Many souls have been lead astray
You've gotta love it anyay

City life well it ain't for most
You gotta be tough or you're gonna be toast
Many sizes and many names
From a distance they're all the same
Plenty people like open space
But give me a perfumed alley way

Give me clouds and give me buildings
Give me rotting vegetation
Give me concrete, give me ceilings
Give me over-population
I love the city

Many people like open space
But give me a perfumed alley way

Give me clouds and give me buildings
Give me rotting vegetation
Give me concrete, give me ceilings
Give me over-population
Oh I love the city

Some words will cut you
Like the sharpest blade
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Nothing is different
But something has changed
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
As I speak these words
I cant believe what I'm saying
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I keep my thoughts in little boxes labelled A-Z

Some words can break the skin
And let the daylight in
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
Your once charming foibles
Now drive me up the wall
I don't love you anymore
I don't love you anymore
I keep my thoughts in little boxes
Boxes underneath the bed
Under the bed with your photograph
And the image is fading

Time has flown
You're all alone
You've always known
It's never going nowhere
Act your age
Turn the page
Leave the stage
It's time to move on
And me and you
How high we flew
We always knew
It's never going nowhere

I keep my thoughts in little boxes
Boxes underneath the bed
Under the bed with your photograph
And the image is fading

Time has flown
You're all alone
You've always known
It's never going nowhere
Act your age
Turn the page
Leave the stage
It's time to move on
And me and you
How high we flew
We always knew
It's never going nowhere

Fall apart with grace, flies without the merest trace
A sweet ascension across a new dimension
Fall apart with pride, eternity shall be your bride
Go to find her, the star in Ursa Minor

An ashen cloud of dust, the world will darkly hang about you
But as your eyes adjust, you see the things you’re not supposed to
And though you’ve shifted plains it’s here that is your home
Tonight the universe has claimed you for her own

Fall apart with grace, flies without the merest trace
A sweet ascension across a new dimension
Fall apart with pride, eternity shall be your bride
Go to find her, the star in Ursa Minor

Reason has left this place, it hides behind its compromises
And if he is embraced, it takes to the streets and advertises
But all we learnt from you remains within our bones
Oracle of this bear, wherever you have flown

Fall apart with grace, flies without the merest trace
A sweet ascension across a new dimension
Fall apart with pride, fall apart with pride

Fall apart with grace, flies without the merest trace
A sweet ascension across a new dimension
Fall apart with pride, eternity shall be your bride
Go to find her, the star in Ursa Minor

I wanna join the army
I wanna see a foreign land
Learn to speak an exotic tongue and
How to kill with my hands

I wanna go to the middle east
I wanna go to Vietnam
Keep the commies out of W3 for HRH and Uncle Sam

See, I'm burning with ambition
I'm waiting for a mission.
Face me in the right direction
I'm full of good intentions.

But I sometimes have these doubts and
I don't like to talk about them
But it's good to get things out now and then.

I wanna be a general
I wanna be a leader of men
Send my troops on out to fight for
The Dollar, the Euro and Yen

I wanna be the president
I wanna be the bringer of war
If my finger was on the button
Well then I'd settle some scores

See, I'm burning with ambition
I'm waiting for a mission.
Face me in the right direction
I'm full of good intentions.

But I sometimes have these doubts and
I don't like to talk about them

I wanna join the army
I wanna see a foreign land
Learn to speak an exotic tongue and
How to kill with my hands

I wanna go to the middle east
I wanna go to Vietnam
Keep the commies out of W3 for HRH and Uncle Sam

See, I'm burning with ambition
I'm waiting for a mission.
Face me in the right direction
I'm full of good intentions.

What's that sound?
Like an aeroplane coming down
Like every banshee in every hell
Uniting in one diabolical yell

They said we're eight miles down
And we're eight miles down
We don't know much but we know what we like
A particular chord when you strike it just right

This is the brain
It's the center of all our pain
Where every banshee in every hill
Is uniting in one diabolical yell.

They said we're eight miles down
And we're eight miles down
We don't know much but we know what we like
A particular chord when you strike it just right

We've been here all along
We sing our lonely song
First in on every sigh
Lions and tigers and bears oh my

Stop making a stand
(Turn it up turn it up)
Take matters in hand
(Turn it up turn it up)
We've sung the first hit already, flip it over again
(Turn it up turn it up)

We're eight miles down
We're eight miles down
We don't know much but we know what we like
A particular chord when you strike it just right

First in on every sigh
Lions and tigers and bears oh my

Stop making a stand
(Turn it up turn it up)
Take matters in hand
(Turn it up turn it up)
We've sung the first hit already, flip it over again
(Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn in up turn it up!)

Stop making a stand
(Turn it up turn it up)
Take matters in hand
(Turn it up turn it up)
Here we are at the end already, flip it over again
(Turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it up turn it....)
