Bland Planet

sobering up
all alone in my flat
getting oh so wound up
with myself
getting high, coming down
coming up, coming round
not that all of the world’s
turned its back on itself
well they’re putting you on the TV
you tell me your music can free me
when all that I ever get to see is bland
beautiful trash
baby’s soul is up for grabs
but your pretty face lasts
not much longer in these parts
well they’re putting you on the TV
you tell me your music can free me
when all that I ever get to see is bland
jail the cop
pay the man
get a job while you can give it up
don’t give in to the bland

Burnout 2000
02:59
|

We forged something good
We forged a phoney
Escaped from no one through realistic tinted glasses
Too much safety
Back yard and two gardens
2012 legendary ex-earth
Unknown for its light and hot light the universe around
Wants calming down
broken half crown
just be skint or get out
Who’s calling the superficial shots
who’s pulling the strings?
let them all out
tell them the news
the world is half dead
People content to live with barcodes on their heads
We speak to people who act politely and fade into backgrounds become insignificant
here come the police and they think you’re holding
8009 there may be no time and none of that dog eat dog stuff from anyone around
No solid ground or a crime ridden town
give it up or get out who orders the governmental plots?
I’m pulling the strings let me all out
tell me the news
the world is half dead people burn out and live with 2000 on their heads

Fence

sit there with nothing to do
trying to make amends with you
sit there with nothing to say
say it on another day
sit there with nothing to say
the future dream has gone so stale
I can see right through you
the trouble that you’re going through
oh yeah
without beginning without end
the world will keep on turning
but you are going round
trying to fence my world in
trying to fence my world in
sit there with nothing to do
let it wash all over you
happiness will find you
whatever you are going through
oh yeah
without beginning without end
the world will keep on turning
but you are going round
trying to fence my world in
from a hole in the ground
with nothing to believe
pick me up when I’m down
with something to believe in
something to believe in
something to believe in

The Paranoid Room
02:07
|
|||
It was a lonely time and it was growing heads
He said ‘sit down my friend and we’ll assess the past ‘
and in the cupboard that was seen the world became obscene
I just took off my boots to wear them in the dream
A distant sound was heard above the pubs he dreams
And in the paranoia there that swept right through his home
Die he said as he was going home
I do not like your kind create another one
and in the paranoid room I swiftly take my place

Brown Sorcery
04:39
|
|||
Off its head in an alley waiting
for the man to be seen
who took his shares in your mind now but he’s never been
While over here in this place now
things are all as they seem but the normal world in its essence lives like a dream
It won’t take long
cold as I’m saying
Xmas time for the tax complainants
searching for all they own while Brown Sorcery lies in the entry with nowhere to go
In case of everything I’m taking everything but..........
Far from home on the outskirts of Disney lands broken dreams
Safari park cryogenics waiting for me
Save some for me
Save some for

Stride
04:27
|

When the sleeping sun awakes
Let it carry you away
And forever new it’ll come to you
Through the darkest of your days
Take it in your stride
Whatever fate decrees
Take it in your stride
And pick yourself up off the ground
When they told you what to do
And then put the blame on you
And the whole rat race is more than you can face
There is trouble on the brew
Take it in your stride
Whatever fate decrees
Take it in your stride
Get your share and blow your mind
Blow your mind
Count to seven, go to heaven
Count to one and catch the sun alive
Count your luck and cook the books
The cup is full it doesn’t look too bright
And forever new let it shine you
Babble on in Babylon it’s such a shame you couldn’t come tonight
Take it in your stride
Whatever fate decrees
Take it in your stride
Get your share and stay around
Get your share and stay around
Get your shirt and stay around
Take it in your stride, take in your stride

Irony Bar
01:58
|
|||
As we climb in this atmosphere
Of belated hatred waste of
Times change, not for the best, as a bunch is traded
Why we pay all the staff
For the un-back-breaking work related
Short changed, not for the first time, the band is raided
I will share out my irony bar
With fragrant vagrants maybe
Lecithin in the pack will consume the able

The Sledging Breakbeat
05:53
|
|||
And in this time for all the while we know we see but cannot get
The empty promise of a life that’s been curtailed done in and yet
Our correspondent told us a fact or two that sounded true
The state of me has found rewards with the ability to shirk
As I’m the one who feels unhealthy as I’m on my way to there
Our days are numbered and we can only count them through
Count them through
And in the end we find ourselves in an unfortunate dischord
As only people standing timely as they wait outside God’s door
Into the heavens go they
In the crap we shine
Well
Rock the world is fine
Click your mouse in time
Mark the spot you want
In the ransom pot of
Golden dreams that drive
Strangers eat their words hot
As a sledging breakbeat dies
Music never lays down
La la la la la la la la la la

low life, no life, low life, gave up
save me from the living
save me from the dead
save me from the living
from the living dead
slow knife, low life, no life and all
slow knife, slow knife, slow knife, come on
