1. Discotheque

You can reach
But you can`t grab it
You can hold it control it no
You can`t bag it

You can push
But you can`t direct it
Circulate regulate oh no
You can not connect it

You know you`re chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can`t get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff

You get confused
But you know it
Yeah you hurt for you work for it love
You don`t always show it

Let go
Let`s go
Discotheque
Go go
Let go
Discotheque

You`re looking for the one
But you know you`re somewhere else instead
You wanna be the song
Be the song you hear in your head

Love...Love...
Love...Love...
Love...

It`s no trick
`Cause you can`t learn it
It`s the way you don`t play that`s okay
`Cause you can`t earn it

You know you`re chewing bubblegum
You know what that is
But you still want some
You just can`t get enough
Of that lovie dovie stuff

Let go
Discotheque
Go go
Discotheque

Looking for the one
But you know you`re somewhere else instead
You wanna be the song
Be the song you hear in your head

Love...
You want heaven in your heart
Heaven in your heart
The sun the moon and the stars
But you take what you can get
`Cause it`s all that you can find
But you know there`s something more
Tonight tonight tonight

Ha...ha...
Ha...ha...
Ha...ha...
Ha...

2. Do You Feel Loved

Take these hands they`re good for nothing
You know these hands have never worked a day
Take theses boots they`re going nowhere
You know these boots they don`t want to stray
You got my head filled with songs
You got my shoelaces undone
Take my shirt go on take it off me
You can tear it up
If you can tie me down

Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?

Take the colours of my imagination
Take the scent hanging in the air
Take this tangle of a conversation
And turn it into your own prayer
With my fingers as you want them
With my nails under your hide
With my teeth at your back
And my tongue to tell you the sweetest lies

Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like rain

Love`s a bully pushing and shoving
In the belly of a woman
Heavy rhythm taking over
To stick together
A man and a woman
Stick together
Man and woman
Stick together

Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
And it looks like the sun
But it feels like rain
And there`s heat in the sun
To see us through the rain

Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?
Do you feel loved?

3. Mofo

Lookin` for to save my save my soul
Lookin` in the places where no flowers grow
Lookin` for to fill that God-shaped hole

Mother
Mother sucking rock and roll

Holy dunc spacejunk comin` in for the splash
White dopes on punk staring into the flash
Lookin` for baby Jesus under the trash

Mother
Mother sucking rock and roll
Mother
Mother sucking rock and rock and rock and roll
Mother
Mother

Mother am I still your son
You know I`ve waited for so long to hear you say so
Mother you left and made me someone
Now I`m still a child
But no one tells me no

Lookin` for a sound that`s gonna drown out the world
Lookin` for the father of my two little girls
Got the swing got the sway got my straw in lemonade
Still looking for the face I had before the world was made

Mother
Mother sucking rock and roll
Bubble poppin` sugar droppin` rock and roll
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother
Mother

Soothe me mother
Rule me father
Move me brother
Woo me sister
Rule me father
Soothe me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother
Show me mother

4. If God Will Send His Angels

Nobody else here baby
No one else her to blame
No one to point the finger
It`s just you and me and the rain
Nobody made you do it
No one put words in your mouth
Nobody here taking orders
When love took a train heading south
It`s the blind leading the blond
It`s the stuff the stuff of country songs

Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Would everything be alright?

God has got his phone off the hook babe
Would he even pick up if he could?
It`s been a while seen we saw that child
Hangin` `round his neighbourhood
See his mother dealing in a doorway
See Father Christmas with a begging bowl
Jesus sister`s eyes are a blister
The high street never looked so low

It`s the blind leading the blond
It`s the cops collecting for the cons
So where is the hope
And where is the faith
And the love?
What`s that you say to me
Does love
Light up your Christmas tree?
The next minute you`re blowing a fuse
And the cartoon network turns into the news

Hey if God will send his angels
And if God will send a sign
And if God will send his angels
Where do we go?

Jesus never let me down you know
Jesus used to show me the score
Then they put Jesus in show business
Now it`s hard to get in the door

It`s the stuff
It`s the stuff of country songs
But I guess it was something to go on

Hey if God will send his angels
I sure could use them here right now
Well if God will send his angels
Where do we go?

5. Staring at the Sun

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me
Over me and over you
Stuck together with God`s glue
It`s going to get stickier too
It`s been a long hot summer
Let`s get undercover
Don`t try too hard to think
Don`t think at all

I`m not the only one
Starin` at the sun
Afraid of what you`d find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind

There`s an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won`t disappear
It`s gonna itch and burn and sting
Do you want to see what the scratching brings
Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace?
`Cause those that can`t do often have to
Those that can`t do often have to preach

To the ones staring at the sun
Afraid of what you`d find
If you took a look inside
Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I`m not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind

Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won`t say goodbye
Referee won`t blow the whistle
God is good but will he listen
I`m nearly great
But there`s something I`m missing
I left in the duty free
Though you never really belonged to me

You`re not the only one
Starin` at the sun
Afraid of what you`d find
If you stepped back inside
I`m not sucking my thumb
I`m staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who`s happy to go blind

Ah ah I
Ah ah I
Ah ah I
Ah ah I

6. Last Night on Earth

She feels the earth is giving way
But she thinks we`re better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today

You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
She dosen`t care what it`s worth
She`s living like it`s the last night on earth
The last night on earth

She`s not waiting on a saviour to come
She`s at a bus stop with the News of the World
And the
Sun
Sun here it comes
She`s not waiting for anyone

You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
She knows just what it`s worth
She`s living like it`s the last night on earth
The last night on earth

Slipping away
Slip slide
The world turns and we get dizzy
Slipping away

She`s living next week now
You know she`s going to pay you back somehow
The future is so predictable
The past is too uncomfortable

You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
You gotta give it away
She already knows it hurts
She`s living like it`s the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night on earth
Back to the top

7. Gone

You gotta feel so guilty
Got so much for so little
Then you find that feeling just won`t go away
You`re holding on to every thing so tightly
Till there`s nothing left for you anyway

Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I`ll be up with the sun
And not coming down
I`m not coming down
I`m not coming down

You wanted to get somewhere so badly
You had to lose yourself along the way
You change a name but that`s okay
It`s necesarry
And what you leave behind
You don`t miss anyway

Goodbye
You can keep this suit of lights
I`ll be up with the sun
And not coming down
I`m not coming down
I`m not coming down

And I`m already gone
Felt that way all along
Closer to you every day
I didn`t want it that much anyway

You`re taking steps that make you feel dizzy
Then you get to like the way it feels
You hurt yourself you hurt your lover
Then you discover
What you thought was freedom is just greed

Goodbye
No emotional
Goodnight
We`ll be up with the sun
Are you still holding on
I`m not coming down
I`m not coming down
I`m not coming down

8. Miami

Weather `round here choppin` and changin`
Surgery in the air
Print shirts and southern accents
Cigars and big hair
We got the wheels and petrol is cheap
Only went there for a week
Git the sun got the sand
Got the batteries in the handycam

Her eyes all swimming pool blue
Dumb bells on a diving board
Baby`s always attracted to the things she`s afraid of
Big girl with the sweet tooth
Watches the skinny girl in the photo shoot
Freshmen squeaky clean
She tastes of clorine

Miami
My mammy

Love the movies
Love to walk those movie sets
Get to shoot someone in the foot
Get to smoke some cigarettes
No big deal we know the score
Just back from the video store
Got the car and the car chase
What`s he got inside the case
I want a close up of that face
Here comes the car chase

Miami
My mammy
Miami

I bought two new suits
Miami
Pink and blue
Miami
I took a picture of you
My mammy
Getting hot in a photo booth
Miami
I said you looked like a madonna
You said maybe
Said I want to have your baby
Baby
Baby
We could make something beautiful
Something that wouldn`t be a problem
At least not in
Miami
Some places are like your auntie
But there`s no place like

Miami
My mammy

Miami

9. The Playboy Mansion

If coke
Is a mystery
Michael Jackson
History
If beauty is truth
And surgery the fountain of youth
What am I to do
Have I got the gifts to get me through
The gates of that Mansion

If OJ is more than a drink
And a Big Mac bigger than you think
If perfume is an obsession
And talk shows confession
What have we got to lose
Another push and maybe we`ll be through
The gates of that Mansion

I never bought a lotto ticket
I never parked in anyone`s space
The banks they`re like cathedrals
I guess casinos took their place
Love come on down
Don`t wake her she`ll come around

Chance is a kind of religion
Where you`re damned for plain hard luck
I never did see that movie
I never did read that book
Love come on down
Let my numbers come around

Don`t know if I can hold on

Don`t know if I`m that strong

Don`t know if I can wait that long

Till the colours come flashing

And the lights go on

 

Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame
And though I can`t say why
I know I`ve got to believe

We`ll go driving in that pool
It`s who you know that gets you through
The gates of the Playboy Mansion
Playboy Mansion
The Playboy Mansion

Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for pain
Then will there be no time of sorrow
Then will there be no time for shame

10. If You wear That Velvet Dress

Tonight the moon is playing tricks again
Feeling sea sick again
An the world could just dissolve
Into a glass of water

I`ve been good `cause I know you don`t want me to
Do you really want me to be as blue as you
It`s her daylight that gets me through

We`ve been here before
Last time you scratched at my door
The moon was naked and cold
I was like a two year old
Who just wanted more
If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon has drawn its curtains
It`s a private show no one esle going to know
I`m waiting

Sunlight
Sunlight fills my room
It`s sharp and it`s clear
But nothing at all like the moon

It`s okay
The struggle for things not to say
I never listened to you anyway
And I got my own hands to pray

If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress

Tonight the moon is a mirrorball
Light flickers from across the hall
Who`ll catch the star when it falls

If you wear that velvet dress
If you wear that velvet dress
Back to the top

11. Please

So you never knew love
Until you crossed the line of grace
And you never felt wanted
Till you had someone slap your face
So you never felt alive
Until you almost wasted away

You had to win
You couldn`t just pass
The smartest ass
At the top of the class
Your flying colours
Your family tree
And all your lessons in history

Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please

So you never know
How low you`d stoop to make that call
And you never knew
What was on the ground till they made you crawl
And you never knew that
The heaven you keep you stole

Your catholic blues
Your convent shoes
Your stick on tattoos
Now they`re making the news
Your holy war
Your northern star
Your sermont on the mount
From the booth of your car

Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please
Leave me out of this

So love is hard and love is tough
But love is not what you`re thinking of

September
Streets capsizing
Spilling over
Down the drain
Shards of glass splinters like rain
But you could only feel
Your own pain
October
Talking getting nowhere
November
December
Remember
Are we just starting again

Please
Please
Please
Get up off your knees
Please
Please
Please
Please

So love is big bigger than us
But love is not what your thinking of
It`s what lovers deal
It`s what lovers steal
You know I`ve found it hard to receive
`Cause you my love I could never believe
Back to the top

12. Wake Up Dead Man

Jesus
Jesus help me
I`m alone in this world
And a fucked up world it is too
Tell me
Tell me the story
The one about eternity
And the way it`s all gonna be

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Jesus
I`m waiting here boss
I know you`re looking out for us
But maybe your hands aren`t free
Your Father
He made the world in seven
He`s in charge of heaven
Will you put a word in for me

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Listen to your words
They`ll tell you what to do
Listen over the rhythm that`s confusing you
Listen to the reed in the saxophone
Listen over the hum of the radio
Listen over the sounds of blades in rotation
Listen through the traffic and circulation
Listen as hope and peace try to rhyme
Listen over marching bands playing out their time

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Jesus
Were you just around the corner?
Did you think to try and warn her?
Or are you working on something new?
If there`s and order
In all of this disorder
Is it like a tape recorder?
Can we rewind it just once more

Wake up
Wake up dead man
Wake up
Wake up dead man

Songs Included as B-Sides

 

1. Dirty Day (Bitter Kiss)

I don't know you
And you don't know the half of it
I had a starring role
I was the bad guy who walked out
They say be careful where you aim
'Cause where you aim you just might hit
You can hold on to something so tight
You've already lost it

Dragging me down
That's not the way it used to be
You can't even remember
What I'm trying to forget

It was a dirty day
Dirty day

You're looking for explanations
I don't even understand
If you need someone to blame
Throw a rock in the air
You'll hit someone guilty

From father to son
In one life has begun
A work that's never done
Father to son

(And love...it won't last kissin' time)
(And love...it won't last kissin' time)

Get it right
There's no blood thicker than ink
Hear what I say
Nothing's simple as you think

Wake up
This is something you can't get around
I'm in you
More so when they put me in the ground

These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill
These days, days, days run away like horses over the hill...

7. Discotheque (Howie B Hairy B Mix)

Heaven...heaven
You want heaven
Heaven in your heart

Heaven...heaven
You want heaven
Heaven in your heart

Heaven in your heart

Heaven...heaven
You want heaven
The sun, the moon, and the stars

Heaven...heaven...heaven...

Slave to the wet nurse
Never give her hers
Slave to the creature
The great teacher
Slave to the now
Slave to sound
Slave to the homes
Say baby home bottom

Slave to time
Slave to dime
Slave to chocolate
Slave to the apocalypse
Slave to talking
Slave to bow
Slave to the one
And a make at home gun

Slave with religion
Slave with recession
Slave to get out
Or go fishing
Slave to the brother
Slave to the wife
Slave to the Polish
And the pole hacks

Slave to heather
I'll slave to honey
Slave to the things
You can't buy with money
Slave to truth
Slave to tooth
Slave to the ground
On your sweet youth

Slave to momentum
Moving on a fake talk
Eat your bitter
Like it on momento
Slave to sugar
Slave to sweetness
Slave to...
Incompleteness

Slave to the suck and
Flow of the tide
Slave to the mouth
Open wide
Slave to coke
I slave to cola
Slave to the heavy bird
In tree cola

Slave to religion
I'll slave to Rome
Slave to the daughter
Returning home
Slave to Friday
Slave to Sunday
Slave to swallow
All of Monday

Slave to the back
To welcome in the bones
Slave to whispers
Hello
Slave to the rhythm
Losing control
Slave to wine
Wanna get old...

8. Happiness is a Warm Gun (The Gun Mix)

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

She's not a girl who misses much
She's not a girl who misses much

Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun
Mother Superior jump the gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

She's well acquainted with the touch of the velvet hand
Like a lizard on a window pane
The man in the crowd
With the multicoloured mirrors on his hobnail boots
Lying with his eyes wide open
And the hands busy working overtime
A soap impression of his wife which he ate
And donated to the National Trust

Hey, I need a fix 'cause I'm going down

Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
I need a fix cause I'm going down
To the bits that I left uptown

I need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown
Need a fix cause I'm going down, uptown

Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a, a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun
Happiness is a warm gun

11. Last Night on Earth (Single Version)

She feels the ground is giving way
But she thinks we're better off that way
The more you take the less you feel
The less you know the more you believe
The more you have the more it takes today

You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)

She knows just what she's worth
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth

She's not waiting on a saviour to come
She's at the bus-stop with News of the World and the Sun
Sun, here it comes
She's not waiting for anyone

You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)

She don't care what it's worth
But she's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth

 


 

Slipping away

Would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone

 

Slip slide
She lets me
Slipping away

Would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone

 

The world turns
And we get dizzy
Slipping away

Would you believe in something
Would you believe in someone

 

She's living, living next week now
You know she's going to pay it back somehow
She hasn't been to bed in a week
She'll be dead soon then she'll sleep

You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)
You got to give it away
(You got to give it away)

She already knows it hurts
She's living like it's the last night on earth
The last night on earth
Last night on earth
Last night...

12. North and South of the River

I want to reach out over the Loch
And feel your hand across the water
Walk with you along an unapproved road
Not looking over my shoulder

I want to see, and I want to hear
To understand your fears
But we're north and south of the river

I've been doing it wrong all of my life
This holy town has turned me over
A young man running when he didn't understand
The wind from the Loch just get colder, colder

There was a badness that had its way
Love wasn't lost, love will have its day
North and south of the river
North and south of the river

Can we stop playing this old tune
Darling I don't have the answer
I want to meet you where you are
I don't need you to surrender

'Cause there's no feeling that's so alone
As when the one you're hurting is your own
North and south of the river
North and south of the river
North and south of the river

Some high ground is not worth taking
Some connections are not worth making
This old church bell no longer ringing
Some old songs are not worth bringing
North...
(Higher ground is not worth taking)
North and south of the river

13. Numb (The Soul Assassins Mix)

One nine nine three
Soul Assassins come to deal with roughneck destruction

I feel numb

U2 come down with the matter of numb business

Top of the matter

Don't move
Don't talk out of time
Don't think
Don't worry everything's just fine
Just fine

Don't grab
Don't clutch
Don't hope for too much
Don't breathe
Don't achieve
Or grieve without leave

Don't check
Just balance on the fence
Don't answer
Don't ask
Don't try and make sense

I feel numb

Don't whisper
Don't talk
Don't run if you can walk
Don't cheat, compete
Don't miss the one beat

I feel numb

Don't travel by train
Don't eat
Don't spill
Don't piss in the drain
Don't make a will

Don't fill out any forms
Don't compensate
Don't cower
Don't crawl
Don't come around late
Don't hover at the gate

Don't take it on board
Don't fall on your sword
Just play another chord
If you feel you're getting bored

I feel numb

Don't be heavy
Don't be unkind
It's not that bad
Just try and unwind

I feel numb

Don't change your brand
Don't listen to the band
Don't ape
Don't gape
Don't change your shape
Have another grape

Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb
Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb
Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb
Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb
Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb
Come on, come on, hey
I feel numb

Don't plead
Don't bridle
Don't shackle
Don't grind
Don't curve
Don't swerve
Lie, die, serve

Don't theorize, realise, polarise
Glance, dance, dismiss, apologise

Don't spy
Don't lie
Don't try
Imply
Detain
Explain
Start again

Don't drive
Don't coax
Don't cling
Don't hoax
Don't freak

Don't follow
Don't suffer
Don't touch
Don't dine
Don't bathe
Don't shave

I feel numb

Don't protest
Don't guess
Don't bless
Don't rest
Don't act
Detract

I feel numb

I feel numb

15. Staring at the Sun (Lab Rat Mix)

Summer stretching on the grass
Summer dresses pass
In the shade of a willow tree
Creeps a crawling over me

Over me and over you
Stuck together with God's glue
It's going to get stickier too
It's been a long hot summer
Let's get under cover
Don't try too hard to think
Don't think at all

I'm not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you took a look inside

I'm not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind

There's an insect in your ear
If you scratch it won't disappear
It's going to itch and burn and sting
You want to see what the scratching brings

Waves that leave me out of reach
Breaking on your back like a beach
Will we ever live in peace
'Cause those that can't do
Often have to
And those that can't do
Often have to preach

To the ones
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'll find
If you took a look inside

Not just deaf and dumb
Staring at the sun
I'm not the only one
Who'd rather go blind

Intransigence is all around
Military still in town
Armour plated suits and ties
Daddy just won't say goodbye

Referee won't blow the whistle
God is good but will He listen
I'm nearly great
But there's something missing
I left it in the duty free
But you never really belonged to me

You're not the only one
Staring at the sun
Afraid of what you'd find
If you stepped back inside

I'm not sucking on my thumb
I'm staring at the sun
Not the only one
Who's happy to go blind
