1. IN THIS LIGHT AND ON THIS EVENING

I swear to god, I heard the earth inhale
Moments before it spat its rain down on me
I swear to god, in this light and on this evening
London's become, the most beautiful thing I've seen
I swear to god, I heard the earth inhale
Moments before it spat its rain down on me
I swear to god, in this light and on this evening
London's become, the most beautiful thing I've seen
I swear to god, I heard the earth inhale
Moments before it spat its rain down on me
I swear to god, in this light and on this evening
London's become, the most beautiful thing I've seen



2. BRICKS AND MORTAR

No one understands
The way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hand
I give a dog a bone
He'll eat for the day
But teach him how to kill then
I am the coast defense
I am the city wall
Stealing pounds and pence from you all
Still no one understands
The way you found your god
There's a bullet in your hand
Pour salt water on the wound
Pour salt water on the wound
This home is more than bricks and mortar
Pour salt water on the wound
When the boy's older
He'll have the arms of a soldier
Those arms will never hold her again
It's just like I told you
When the boy's older
He's gonna be a soldier for them
Pour salt water on the wound
Pour salt water on the wound
This home is more than bricks and mortar
Pour salt water on the wound
I hope life is good for you
I hope life is good for you



3. PAPILLON

Make our escape, you're my own Papillon
The worlds turns too fast
Feel love before it's gone
It kicks like a sleep twitch
My Papillon, feel love when it's shone
It kicks like a sleep twitch!
Darling, just don't put down your guns yet
if there really was a God here
he'd have raised a hand by now
Darling, you were born but you will die here
that's quite enough for me too
we'll find our own way home somehow
No sense of doubt, for what you can achieve
I'd help you out, I've seen the life you wish to leave
Well it kicks like a sleep twitch
You will choke, choke on the air you try to breathe
It kicks like a sleep twitch
Darling, just don't put down your guns yet
if there really was a God here
He'd have raised a hand by now
Darling, you're born, get old, and die here
well that's quite enough for me too
we'll find our own way home somehow, Papillon
It kicks like a sleep twitch
It kicks like a sleep twitch
Darling, now just don't put down your guns yet
if there really was a God here
He'd have raised a hand by now
Darling, you're born, get old, and die here
Well that's quite enough for me
We'll find our own way home somehow
It kicks like a sleep twitch
It kicks like a sleep twitch



4. YOU DON’T KNOW LOVE

You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You ran with the dead today, with the moles from the C.I.A.
They say more than you ever say
Headlights in your rear view mirror
A panther's eyes as he prays on fear
Your hunt for love, you electioneer
You ran with the dead today
Through the cemeteries where ghosts still play
The more you ran, love got further away
One look and I saw inside
Every little thing you'd die to hide
You are the truth, when you lied
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
Oh, you don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
Oh, you don't know love like you used to
You don't feel love like you did before
Ah, you don't know love like you used to
Ah, you don't feel love like you did before
You don't know love like you used to



5. THE BIG EXIT

Eyes permeate my skin, an alcoholic din
Fills the room we're in
Girl, I think it's time we leave
Like a thief on Christmas Eve
Take and you shall receive
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
Once we're out amongst the shadows
See how much our love glows
Reflected in shop windows
I love you as my blood flows
As the rain ruins my best clothes
You're a secret only I know
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
Damn the passing hours
Damn the summer flowers
They took what once was ours
They took what once was ours
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
They took what once was ours
They took what once was ours
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside
No need to ask, you already know the way I feel inside



6. THE BOXER

A bruised full moon play fights with the stars
This place is our prison, it's cells are the bars
So take me to town, I want to dance with the city
Show me something ugly and show me something pretty
Damn this place, makes a boy out of me
The ring meets my face by the count of three
An unwanted son pulls rank in the sky
The boxer isn't finished, he's not ready to die
I'm attracted to the light, I am attracted to the heat
It's a violent night, there are boxers in the streets
Damn this place, makes a boy out of me
The rain meets my face by the count of three
Damn this place, makes a boy out of me
The rain meets my face, I'm a fallen oak tree
Dazed in the final count



7. LIKE TREASURE

Ain't it just like the old days
Wait and see how the hand plays
Living out our second-hand cliché
Ain't it just like the old days
You are what you eat
You'll become digested
Well love, it isn't felt
No love is tested
You will keep forever
I'll bury you like treasure
We gotta get friends in high places
Hide behind their plastic faces
Rip up the flag and replace it
Dance with our friends in high places
You are what you eat
You'll become digested
Well love, it isn't felt
Love is tested
You will keep forever
I'll bury you like treasure
You will keep forever
I'll bury you like treasure
I used to want to be you
Now where's your Shadow
You're see through
I used to want to be you
Now where's your Shadow
You're see through
You will keep forever
I'll bury you like treasure



8. EAT RAW MEAT = BLOOD DROOL

I don't wanna be ignored Oh god
When I'm a gun in a fistfight
You're chewing with an open mouth, raw meat
Your blood drool attracts the flies
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I don't wanna be left out or get fucked
But there's a talent in your lies
If you're chewing with an open mouth, raw meat
Your blood drool attracts the flies
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
A little bit for myself, don't put a price on your health
I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
Don't wait for the sun
Your story's been spun
These boys, they just wanna have fun
But your damage is done
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
A little bit for myself, don't put a price on your health
I give a little to her
I give a little to you, I give a little to him, I give a little to her
I give a little to her
I give a little to her



9. WALK THE FLEET ROAD

A winter wind blows, in from the north
Scratches your spine, cold like the forth
But you're a long way from home
Through the dark we tiptoe
The hospital looms, as we walk fleet road
Hold your tongue
Swallow your venom
You're too young
Hold your tongue
No push and no shove
Spit your verbal mace
Hate can turn to love not this for this human race
Hold your tongue
Swallow your venom
You're too young
Hold your tongue
Hold your tongue

10. THIS HOUSE IS FULL OF NOISE

Baby don't go and lose it again
You would always run
Out of the sun and into the rain
This house just creeps, it won't let you sleep
All that noise, there in your brain
Won't give you peace
It says
I won't let you go where there's rivers or town folks
I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me
Baby, don't go, and love him again
You will always leap
Into a fire, into a flame
This house just aches, to keep you save
You're in every single thing
You're in the walls, you're in the space
It says
I won't let you go, where there's rivers or town folks
I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me
I won't let you go where there's rivers or town folks
I won't let you see 'cause you're safe here, safe here with me
Don't let your friends know, you can't pay your debts
Don't let your friends know, you can't pay your debts



11. I WANT A FOREST

There's blood in the sky
It bleeds from the land
Behind those eyes
Diamonds turn to sand
Such a beautiful fall
I saw the surface break
The water's so cold
Your body shakes
On a stormy day the clouds move too fast to see
The shapes they make or how they wrap
Our little world right up
I'm in your garden, but I want a forest
I'm in god's garden
I'll make it a forest
I'll make it a forest
You cut your ideas, in your own way
The silly little plans, the games you play
You try to make me lose faith
We're all made that way
There's a diamond in the rough
There's a needle in the hay
On a stormy day the clouds move too fast to see
The shapes they make or how they wrap
Our little world right up
I'm in your garden, but I want a forest
I'm in god's garden
I'll make it a forest
I'm in your garden, but I want a forest
I'm in god's garden
I'll make it a forest
I'll make it a forest


12. MY LIFE AS A GHOST

The kids are dancing tonight, maybe we'll join them
There's blood in the air tonight, it crushes the boredom
Grab your coats, get to the boats, head to the coast
Tonight we sail to the edge of the world
Get out of this house now
Head for the horizon
Tonight we take the town
So pick your poison
Here's a toast, a life as a ghost is better than most
If we have our love in the gutter
Dance, fucker, dance
You were born to entertain
Sing, choir boy, sing
Wash your sins down the drain
In a violent haze, under the streetlights' gaze
Dance, fucker, dance
You were born to entertain
Now without water
Death takes us before hunger
We dug a well for the water
We put on this fire
Dance, fucker, dance
You were born to entertain
Sing, choir boy, sing
Wash your conscience down the drain
In a violent haze, under the streetlights' gaze
Dance, fucker, dance
You were born to entertain



13. HUMAN

Girl
You did this to yourself
I wish your good heart and good health
Once, your ships were coming in
Now your hands have shed the final skin
Scratching in the dark, in the dark with no remark
And you're human yet
Searching for belief, with the grit in your teeth
And you're human yet
Babe
You did this to yourself
I wish your good heart and good health
Once, your ships were coming in
Now your hands have shed the final skin
Scratching in the dark, in the dark with no remark
And you're human yet
Searching for belief, with the grit in your teeth
And you're human yet
Scratching in the dark, in the dark with no remark
And you're human yet
Searching for belief, with the grit in your teeth
And you're human yet
A human yet
Human yet



14. FOR THE MONEY

Here's where the wind leaves its mark across your face
And the ocean knows more than we'll ever know
Wake from our sleep, we are crippled but unique
A cat in a bag meets the undertow
Make to the fields that are neighbouring your town
Take all that you can carry
Play with the fire and let the money burn
It only bought a lack of sincerity
Who's gonna make us better,
If we won't believe there are things left to say
And who's gonna take away the slaughter
And put us to bed at the end of the day
Here's where the wind leaves its mark across your face
A perfect place to fall on your sword
Keep your hands to yourself
Overestimate your wealth
Don't touch what you can't afford
Who's gonna make us better
If we won't believe there are things left to say
We watch as the dust settles around us
Now put us to bed at the end of the day
And everyone says:
One for the money
Two for the money
Three for the money
Four for the money
Five for the money
Six for the money
Seven for the money
Eight for the money
