TAXLOSS

He'll be your taxloss lover from Liverpool
Taxloss lover if the truth be told
Taxloss lover still lives in the war
Taxloss lover touching 74

Ah, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss
Ah, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss

We think you are stupid
We give you money 'cos our assets are fluid yeah
We'll sell you down the river
Just remember that we said we'd deliver you

Sign on the line and we'll give you the money
And then you'll be mine and we'll fly somewhere sunny
And you'll quibble that our drivel seems unsatifactory
You're a taxloss, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss

He'll be your taxloss lover and his name is Bert
Your taxloss lover and he's always a flirt
Your taxloss lover's into kinky sex
Your taxloss lover wears a cracking dress

Sign on the line and we'll give you the money
And then you'll be mine and we'll fly somewhere sunny
You'll quibble that our drivel seems unsatifactory
We're a taxloss, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss

Sign on the line and we'll give you the money
And then you'll be mine and we'll fly somewhere sunny
And you'll quibble that our drivel seems unsatifactory
A taxloss, come back to me
We want your money, taxloss

Taxloss, mod rock
Junk pop, chart hop
Mop top, swap shop
Who'd you nick your cliche off

GREY LANTERN

Look, frankly you're a star tonight
Standing under grey light when I left you
You're watching from afar tonight
You've just become a sight for sore eyes now, yeah

Oh, you've come off the juice
You're sick of all this aural abuse, yeah

Hold the lantern, behold the lantern

Look, frankly you're a freak tonight
You'd stand under my light if I let you
You're looking quite aloof tonight
I'm feeling out of breath since I left you, oh yeah

Oh, freezing to touch you, stand in lantern light
Oh, touch you, beside you, it's greyer than at night

THE IMPENDING COLLAPSE OF IT ALL

Action, feeling, need in spite of pain
Fear is in it's absence once again
Needing, dying, parasite the same
Just to be removed from all your ways

I know that you know
I know that you know
I know that you know
I know you know

Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
Born without feeling, growing from reading
Parents for breeding, inherited feeling
The impending collapse of it all

I can feel it, preconditioned fall
Recognise the fear inside us all
Knowing all that's ever gone before
Understand collapsing of it all

SKI JUMP NOSE (LIVE)

I'm gonna sit on my own, maybe all alone
I'm gonna lie on the couch, 'cos I won't go out
She'll take it easy again, ending up in hell
Just like the scum of the Earth, but I'll crash here first

We're all in this together
Ski jump nose forever

Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, say we're gonna keep it together
Yeah, I don't wanna talk about it

She's gonna get herself out from her plastic town
She's gonna get out her house, gonna get down South
She'll take it easy again, she'll end up in hell
She's only playing the game, change her name again

I'm writing these words like the fool that I am
Trying to say something good like the person
But it's all just a sham 'cos the writer I am not
Could say anything, you'd believe them
Just your A-typical Boy-girl-girl-boy androgynous
Play on a publican's decoy
'Cos I had to drop out 'cos my Art School was sad and
If you believe all of that you're a bigger fool than me

Glad you're tuned to Ski jump nose, so come on down and
Hide our shame, you love, you love the fame

WIDE OPEN SPACE (ACOUSTIC)

I'm in a wide open space, I'm standing
I'm all alone and staring into space
It's always quiet thru' my ceiling
The roof comes in and crashes in a daze

I'm in a wide open space, it's freezing
You'll never get to heaven with a smile on your face from me
I'm in a wide open space, I'm staring
There's something quite bizarre I cannot see

I'm on the top of a hill, I'm lonely
There's someone here to shout to miles away
I could be back in my house, for I care
They do not hear me, it's the same old case
