Lyrics: a random selection
Leading The Swarm
Did you see me in the headlines looking hard, looking mean?
I had been up all night organising that scene
With a neighbourhood witch hunt looking good for a scoop
I found one with good profile to lead my rabid group
Shall we follow the teacher
If he teaches us nothing
Follow the leader
Leading the swarm back home
Did you see me on the canvas getting ready to absorb
With aura pouring off me I was looking good to score
But they found another figure radiating high
Yeah they found another figure ‘cos he’d given them the sight
Shall we follow the teacher
If he teaches us nothing
Follow the leader
Leading the swarm back home
Did you see me in the headlights I was only there awhile
You could see the ammunition but not the camomile
I’d been waiting up for hours I knew you’d be along
Because everybody needs someone to lead them home
Shall we follow the teacher
If he teaches us nothing
Follow the leader
Leading the swarm back home, home, home
Leading the swarm back home, home, home
Leading the swarm back home
Put Yourself In Your Place
Wasted line, oh what you could have told me
It’s a nice line, different, as my keep files away
Someone said you stole it
It makes no matter, cease!
It’s just noise using mine
Suck my legends dry
Now you’ll put yourself away
Now you’ll put yourself away
Do I seem ungrateful?
It’s just not much help to me
You engage my attention
Now why not use it well
There’s just too many pictures
Just too many pictures
I’m only watching forward
I’m always counting down
Now you’ll put yourself away
Now you’ll put yourself away
Broken by the fickle
You are down without disease
You’re the speciality
Having raced inside yourself
Our mind’s wide open
Desolate and barren
Oh did you seek provision?
You gave the wrong excuse
Now you’ll put yourself away
Now you’ll put yourself away
It was almost a perfect day, a day much like this
Despite your calls to the contrary I'd never felt much like this
And I'm pleased to meet you as you can probably see
I wonder what I can do for you I know what you can do for me
Delight me,
I came by delight me
One sight delight me
I won't bite delight me
Never go away
AS promised I will eventually leave
First let me take in my surroundings let me know what there is to believe
So come join me, come over here and enjoy me
It's the one thing you do really well I believe I'll have some too
Delight me,
I came by delight me
One sight delight me
I won't bite delight me
Never go away until I'm dignified again
I don't know what came over me
Just another magic moment tangible to me
I don't know how I got here so I don't know how to leave
I find myself wondering, I find myself too easily
Delight me,
I came by delight me
One sight delight me
I won't bite delight me
Now you're mine delight me
Of a kind delight me
One sigh delight me
I won't bite delight me
Never go away
Go fuck the man who’s falling
Jump on his tiny head
Devouring limitations
And finally more is less
This was the best time to be leaving
But now the door is locked
Pray to whoever’s watching
Before they all get gone
There’s so much that I have to see
Some of it had better be worthy of my belief
It had better be reliable
Don’t look down your nose
There’s nothing to see
Don ‘t try to read the signs
They’re not even similes
I came from all directions
To going nowhere now
Just sliding nowhere edgeways
That’s the easiest way
There’s so much that I have to see
Some of it had better be worthy of my belief
It had better be reliable
Just time to smoke a cigarette
before we get the door
No time to time the fuse
Let’s hope that it holds on
It’s time to take a journey
A ride into today
It’s been so long since we saw it
Let’s watch it fade
There’s so much that I have to see
Some of it had better be worthy of my belief
It had better be reliable
Tombstone Ivory
It didn’t happen the way you saw it
I saw it too, I know
It didn’t happen at all, in fact
Just your imagination let go
I know I’m not mistaken
I’m never wrong, I know
Don’t let it get out of hand
Don’t let it breed, let it go
And don’t let it happen again
Never let it happen
And yet we die, we die again
Come back and try and try again
The words are there and meaningless
Memories, a farewell kiss
Jump the queue, let’s ride the train
See if we cheat fate again
If only you had seen me coming
We could have avoided this
And never let it happen again
I never made any sense of this
Just let it pass me by
And in the end we’re all the same
Sit back and watch time fly
Maybe there’s some masterplan
That I will never understand
And one day when I know
I’ll be free to be let go
Have Ye Got A Spare Burden I Can Carry?
When no stranger thing can happen, think of me
I've been given a lifetime immunity
You're just like a nodding dog, you can't say no
You're just like a lifeguard waiting to explode
You let me leave your side empty handed
Don't let me leave empty handed
When no stranger thing can happen, think of me
I've been living a lifetime guarantee
You're just like a nodding dog, you can't say no
You're just like a lifeguard waiting to let go
You let me leave your side empty handed
Don't let me leave empty handed
You let me leave your side empty handed
Don't let me leave empty handed
Don't let me leave your side empty handed
i'll stick up some lyrics from the new albums at some point. any requests? let me know
