Lyrics


1. ELECTRICITY

We got a love that's cold as stone
We got a love from our violent homes
We got a love and it got no name

We kiss our love with lips like pain
We got a lotta electricity
We got a love like AC/DC
We got a love and it got no shame
We kiss our love with lips like pain

Oh it's bigger than the universe
It's bigger than the universe
It's bigger than the 2 of us
Oh it's bigger than you and me

We got a love between us and it's like electricity
We got a love like a violent mind
We get our love from white white lines
We got a love and it got no name

We kiss our love with lips like pain
We got a love from nowhere towns
We got a love like electric sounds
We got a love and it got no shame
We kiss our love with lips like pain

I said, oh it's bigger than the universe
It's bigger than the universe
It's bigger than the 2 of us
Oh it's bigger than you and me
We got a love between us and it's like electricity
Oh it's bigger than the universe
It's bigger than the universe
It's bigger than the 2 of us
Oh it's bigger than you and me
We got a love between us that's like electricity


2. SAVOIR FAIRE

She lives in a house she's stupid as a mouse
And she going where the lights are on
She shaking obscene like a fucking machine
And she gone gone gone
She cooking crack giving us heart attack
And she living in a kooky show
She open your mind for the millionth time
And then go go go

She got everything she needs
She got pretty pretty feet
And she got flowers in her hair
She got savoir faire yeah yeah


3. CANT GET ENOUGH

I feel real now walking like a woman and talking like a stone age man
I feel real now talking like Buddha and doing it again
I get kick I rip it up kick it up take it like a teenage tough
I feel real now talking like sugar and shaking that stuff

Singing I can't get enough
Singing I can't get enough

I feel schizo every so psycho kicking at an old tin can
I feel real like a man like a woman like a woman like a man
I make dead space feel like a headcase take it like a teenage tough
And feel real now watching those wheels and shaking that stuff

Singing I can't get enough
Singing I can't get enough
Singing I can't get enough
Singing I can't get enough

I feel real now walking like a woman and talking like a stone age man
I feel real now talking like Buddha and doing it again
So give me this and give me that smother me and give me some of that bad stuff
I feel real now talking like sugar and shaking that stuff

Singing I can't get enough
Singing I can't get enough
Singing I can't get enough
Singing I can't get enough


4. EVERYTHING WILL FLOW

Watch the early morning sun
Drip like blood from the day
See the crazy people run
So many games to play
See the blue suburban dream
Under the jet plane sky
Sleep away and dream a dream
Life is just a lullaby

And everything will flow

Watch the day begin again
Whispering into the night
See the crazy people play
Hurrying under the light
A million cars, a million trains
Under the jet plane sky
Nothing lost and nothing gained
Life is just a lullaby

The neon lights in the night tonight will say
Everything will flow
The stars that shine in the open sky will say
Everything will flow
The lovers kissed with an openness will say
Everything will flow
The cars parked in the hypermarket know
Everything will flow


5. DOWN

All the people in your life say you're down
And the strangers in the night say you're down
And the loonies on the right say you're down and you're down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the traffic speeding by says you're down
And the people in your life say you're down and you're down

Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile

And the people in the park say you're down
And the strangers in the dark say you're down
And the pissheads in the bars say you're down
And the audiences cry that you're down
And the ambulances sigh that you're down
And the boyfriends in your life say you're down and you're down

Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a blankness in your smile
Hey you chase the day away
Hey you draw the blinds and blow your mind away
And there's a sadness in your style
And there's a madness in your smile


6. SHE’S IN FASHION

She's the face on the radio
She's the body on the morning show
She's there shaking it out on the scene
And she's the color of a magazine

And she's in fashion
And she's in fashion

She's employed where the sun don't set
And she's the shape of a cigarette
And she's the shake of a tambourine
And she's the colour of a magazine

And she's in fashion
And she's in fashion

And if she tells you two is one
Then two is one my love

And if she tells you should know
Then you should know my love

She is strung out on a TV dream
And she's the taste of the gasoline
And she's as similar as you can get
To the shape of a cigarette

And she's in fashion
And she's in fashion

The sunshine will blow my mind
And the wind blows my brain

7. ASBESTOS

Watching all the women shaking slimming
Walking down the road again
Looking at the lovers under covers come in and let's be friends
Watching all the schoolgirls shaking the rules
Coming on and having sex
Watching all the women shaking slimming
Come in an cash the cheques

The suburban girls and they're making noise
And they're making eyes at suburban boys

Watching all the lovers under cover
Watching all the roads that bend
Listening to lulu, amazula
Come in and let's pretend
Watching all the women shaking slimming
Walking down the road again
Scheming like a schoolboy watching you boy
Come in and let's pretend

The suburban girls and they're making noise
And they're making eyes at suburban boys
Suburban girls and they're making noise
And they're making eyes at suburban boys

At suburban boys
At suburban boys
At suburban boys

The suburban girls and they're making noise
And they're making eyes at suburban boys
Suburban girls and they're making noise
And they're making eyes at suburban boys

At suburban boys
At suburban boys
At suburban boys


8. HEAD MUSIC

Lonely skies
Empty minds
We walk by to the rock and rhyme
I said, oh come on do it again
City signs
Business minds
We walk by with head hi-fi
You know oh I wanna do it again
And we lose it to the music
And we lose it to the beat
And get stupid, come on lose it
‘Cause it all means nothing to me

So give me head, give me head, give me head music instead
You know, oh is it all in the mind
So give me head, give me head, give me head music instead
You know, oh yes it's all in the mind

Kids get high
Cities die
We just smile ‘cause it's all inside
You know, oh yes it's all in the mind
So come on lose it to the music
And lose it to the beat
And get stupid, come on lose it
Cause this all means nothing to me
Come on come on and

Give me head, give me head, give me head music instead
You know, of course it's all in the mind
Come on come on and
Give me head, give me head, give me head music instead
You know, of course it's all in the mind
It's all in the mind


9. ELEPHANT MAN

I love that deafening, thundering sound
That sounds like buildings tumbling down
And people wish that they weren't around
When we all rock and roll into town
We hear those fearful, piercing screams
The kind you find on cinema screens
And if they're fit to burst at the seams
If they could say what all of this means

I am, I am the elephant man
It is incredible how I can
Look just like an elephant, man,
Just like, just like my elephant fans

We love that satisfying, rattling crash
The sound of registers full of cash
We'll be all over your town like a rash
We'll steal your children and smoke all your hash

I am, I am the elephant man
It is incredible how I can
Look just like an elephant, man,
Just like, just like my elephant fans

I love that deafening, thundering sound
The sounds like buildings tumbling down
And people wish that they weren't around
When we all rock and roll into town

I am, I am the elephant man
It is incredible how I can
Look just like an elephant, man,
Just like, just like my elephant fans

We are, we are the elephant men
Take heed, we'll be stampeding again
Look out all of you fair weather friends
Because elephants never forget


10. HI-FI

Slipping through the city sliding train to train
Sulking on the subway music in our brain
She and me together in the city sounds
Me and mona lisa on the underground

Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah

Slipping through the city sliding brain to brain
Sulking on the subway listening to the train
She and me together speed through space and time
Grafitti in our eyes and music in our mind

Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah
Hi-fi, Hi-fi, Hi-fi in the white city yeah yeah


11. INDIAN STRINGS

Open up my heart and see what's inside
Take a look inside me, inside my mind

And you'll see my heart is broken in two
‘Cause I've seen the real you

Images of violence fill up my mind
And you see the silence, feel it inside

And you'll see my heart is broken in two
‘Cause I've seen the real you

So sad we seem, so far we've been
She knows the scene

And I see your heart is broken too
‘Cause we've seen the real you
Seen the real you


12. HE’S GONE

Tears on a pillow
Eyes on the phone
You pour all the love that you keep inside
Into a song
Like 'He's Gone'
And these are the thoughts that you keep inside
You smile from your window
And stand all alone
And pour all the love that you keep inside
Into the phone
Into the phone
And like the leaves on the trees
Like the Carpenters song
Like the planes and the trains and they lives that were young
He's gone
And it feels like the words to a song
With the style of a widow
And the place of your own
You pour all the words that you keep inside
Into the phone
And sit alone
And these are the thoughts that you keep inside
And smile from your window
And stand all alone
And pour all the love that you keep inside
Into a song
into a song
And like the leaves on the trees
Like the Carpenters song
Like the planes and the trains and they lives that were young
He's gone
And it feels like the words to a song
And like the stains on the names of the lives of the young
He's gone
And it feels like the words to a song
And like the leaves on the trees
Like the Carpenters song
Like the planes and the trains and they lives that were young
He's gone
And it feels like the words to a song
And like the stains on the names of the lives of the young
He's gone
And it feels like the words to a song
So gone
So gone


13. CRACK IN THE UNION JACK

Draw the blinds and watch the show
Heard it on the radio
Saw it on the news today
Heard the lonely people say

There's a great big crack in the union jack
There's a great big crack in the union jack

Another day, another low
Another midday TV show
I saw it on the news today
I heard the lonely people say

There's a great big crack in the union jack
There's a great big crack in the union jack
In the union jack
