From Heaven
05:21
|
|||
Is this a punishment?
Are you trying to tell me something?
Is there a lesson here?
'Cause the lesson's lost on me
At the moment of death
My power comes from Heaven
We considered ourselves to be a powerful culture
I consider myself to be a powerful man
Computer: find all occurrences of the word "glory"
The whole history of sin, and man, and God, and love

Good Boy
02:51
|
|||
My life got so much simpler when I made the wise decision
To only consume art which pats me on the back for being
A good boy, a good boy, I feel like such a good one
I only paid attention when the causes were convenient
My life got so much simpler when I made the wise decision
To never learn the difference between good and ineffectual
A good boy, a good boy, I feel like such a good one
I simply cannot choose between them, both sides are so rowdy
My life got so much simpler when I washed my hands with water
The baying crowds could simply not be held back any longer
A good boy, a good boy, I feel like such a good one
The people want what they want, and I can't be held to account
My life got so much simpler when I made the wise decision
To only consume art which seeks to reinforce my place as
A good boy, a good boy, I feel like such a good one
I only paid attention when the causes were convenient

Punching Bag
02:21
|
|||
Tonight Matthew, I am nothing, and I'm okay with that
Tonight Matthew, I will shit in my own hands and clap
Tonight Matthew, I will be your fucking punching bag
Then write down how I feel so all your fucking friends can have a fucking laugh
It sounded so appealing
You called me up to say not even God could know what the man would do next
I called you back to say not even I knew what my body would do next
You called me up to say not even God could know what the man would do next
You called me up, and now I know what I know now, I know what I know now
And all I have to say is
It sounded so appealing

Paris Syndrome
03:11
|
|||
I got your letter, I got her letters
I wrote you back, I never wrote her back
Browbeaten
I hope this summer never ends, please call me "fuck" in front of my friends
Pork is sweet and sour, chimera
Paris is less, more
Browbeaten, again

Dread
03:53
|
|||
The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house
But it smells of smoke, and tar, and grilled sausage, and wet boots
So the dogs were going mad last night
I will perceive the smoke, the sulphur, and the filth, the rotting things
I will hear the wailing, shrieking, all the blasphemies and cries
But look on the bright side
Think of all the art that's sure to be inspired by this dread
You know, there's never been a good band from London
The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house
He said that not one previous tenant had complained of feeling dread
In fact, he didn't even know the meaning of the word
But the rent was 17% below the market rate
The letting agent promised there were no ghosts in this house
He said that not one previous occupant had ever ended up being dead
And just look on the bright side
Think of all the art that's sure to be inspired by this dread
You know, there's never been a good band from London
And there's never been a good band below the age of 25
There's never been a good band from Leeds
In fact, there's never been a good band that's ever been alive
There's never been a good band
Dread

A Social Contract
03:15
|
|||
I bet you think that pretty clever, don't you?
We are all in breach of a social contract
Better lawyer up
Just say the word and I'll be your doormat
I'll be your doormat, I'll be your...
When I was just a little lad
My mum taught me the way to solve a disagreement is compromise
So I applied that logic to my whole worldview
And that's why I grew up to be a simpleton
All the worst people you know are now friends with each other

Very Cool
03:45
|
|||
The first way to be humble, lower thyself, obedience
The second is more perfect than the first
Third is the most perfect, to be regarded as a useless fool
But always, most importantly, you seem very cool
Cool
What's good about this?
Why is this good?
Cool

Plausible Deniability
02:29
|
|||
I am extremely handsome and alluring
And I will face God as I walk backwards into Hell
I am electrocuting my own muscles to force myself to dab
And I will face God as I walk backwards into Hell
People so nice you can't believe it
People so mean you can't believe it
Take a deep breath, ready to relive it
Grinding your teeth, you can really feel it
Plausible deniability
Gone, the love is gone
However you frame it, the love is gone
Bang, the dirt is gone
And look what it did to the penny

No Funeral
05:02
|
|||
We've all done things that we're horrified by
Roll up, roll up, get your closure from me
On the day that I die, in the autopsy
They'll find a whole host of things that were wrong with me
No funeral
Who put the "jerk" in "tearjerker"?
Who put the "ass" in "catastrophe"?
On the day that I die, when they bury me
I want the worms all to know I wasn't lazy
Be humble, be humble, three ways of being humble
I came, I saw, that's all
And well, I fell, oh well
I was a Martian, I died
I used to breathe carbon dioxide
Boris, prophet, from the past, a warning
He's not an ordinary guy
The only one who survived
The other staff at CNN have all died
Doomsday, Turner, video to transmitter
The band plays one last time
I came, I saw, that's all
And well, I fell, oh well
I came, I saw, that's all
I came, I came again
