Lyrics

10 EP -- Negative

NEGATIVE (EDIT)

Stop, you're looking miserable
Can't be bothered getting up today
My future's looking positive
No one even picked on me today
So you tested negative
Panic in your bedsit goes away
You convert to scientology
To feel part of something once again

I look downwards
I look downwards
Feeling negative, looking negative
I see downwards
I see downwards
I look downwards
I see negative, feeling negative
Looking downwards

Have you ever told a lie to hide a lie
Shame on you, you've compromised again
'Cos things are closing in on you
Not so far away as they may seem
Have you ever told a lie to hide a lie
Shame on you, you've compromised again
And things are closing in on you
Not so far away as they may seem

Someone knocked me in the street
Someone looked at me twice
Now I'm negative
Someone nudged me in the street
Someone poked me in the eye
Now I'm negative

WHEN THE WIND BLOWS

Wireless tells us all
Looks like there's a war
Both of us been through this before dear
Put on our gas masks and pray dear
But at least we've got each other

I'll still love you when the wind blows through
I've been through this before
I'll still love you when the wind
When the wind blows through

Outside all is cold
It looks like there's no war
But my hair's falling out at it's root dear
Things will blow over any day dear
And at least we've got each other

KING OF BEAUTY

Feed this insect inside me
Watch my time drippin' off from the walls
This silence and stillness
Like a glove with the fingers withdrawn
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what I know

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building

I'm hiding my sickness
No motion no feeling
The king of beauty
Leaves this building
Living in a body bag
I'm waiting, I'm waiting

Resurrection of memory
All the thing I remember I hold
A virtual impression
Of a life that I'm building alone
Sympathy leaves in the cold
Look for an exit but they're closed
Brief fabrication of what I know

I DESERVE WHAT I GET

I'm not getting sleep at night
My insomnia's a pain
Problems I create myself
I drag here from the day
Harsh words I keep them to myself
Hearing my problems serves to destroy
I'm a case for us all

Deserving what I get (I deserve what I get)
Deserving what I get

There's such joy in wasting time
An achievement not at all
My destructive side again
I'm please with what I've done

TAKE IT EASY CHICKEN (LIVE)

Yes I'm sick of this
England's shit
It's slashing down
We are drowned
Star is here
Drinking beer
Star is scrawled
On my wall
C.I.D.
They follow me
I kidnap Star
In my car
A T.V.R.
We'll drive to Prague
And stop at Mars
And we'll be

Taking Star, oh yeah, to L.A.
We'll drive to Vegas for the day
We want to sit, oh yeah, in the sun
And take it easy
Take it easy

Mam's got cake
Belly ache
Feeling sick
Through Kuwait
Stole a tank
Drove to France
Star's amazed
In a trance
M53
Hit a tree
Crashed my car
I killed Star
Stowaway
On a ship
Dodge the pigs
What a trip

MANSUN'S ONLY LIVE SONG

If I start this small debate
The centre of the universe is gone for sale
If my melody should fall
The tune is unimportant as I said before
Or did I say it was the words, I should

Standing in grey lantern light
Mavis looking sexy through her dress it shines
Hiding in the vestry she recites her lines

I can't see you, I love you, I miss you
I can't see you, I love you, I do

If I feel God watching me
I control the actions of his destiny
So my sentiments ring true
Feel him in the mirror laughing back at you
Or did I tell you how it seems, I should

If I start this small debate
The centre of the universe is gone for sale
And so my melody did fall
The tune was unimportant as I said before
Or did I saw it was the words, I should
