Not In The Game

when you see a flower and you wanna rub your face in it
and you do cos you don’t care what people think
when you think you’ve seen a ghost and you wanna walk towards it
but you don’t cos you don’t believe in ghosts
you see an empty branch you wanna swing on it
you see a hearse drive past you wanna be in it
when I’m blind and dumb and deaf
lights go out lights go dead
light a candle light a candle
wait it out in the dark in the dark in the dark
shadows on the wall loom like higher powers
shouting out to neighbours in the park
staying in bed and out of the rain
losing is easy when you’re not in the game
not in the game
when you’re staring into space and you wanna take off
take leave of all this bullshit tearing us apart
when you wanna be an alien leave it all behind
fly to the moon find a new friend touch a new star
you see an empty branch you wanna swing on it
you see a hearse drive past you wanna be in it
shadows on the wall loom like higher powers
shouting out to neighbours in the park
staying in bed and out of the rain
losing is easy when you’re not in the game
not in the game
not in the game
not in the game
not in the game

sitting in the gutter
so many motley pieces of trash
sitting in the gutter
so many motley pieces of trash
little dolly
all broken to bits
cos tomorrow they're gonna come and put you in the truck
and that means that i've had enough
and that means i won't see you again
and that means i can start again
lustreless faded stars have fallen
washed up crinkled dried up
dead beat bastard dead beat bastard junk
oh well
cheap they say is cheap my friend warranties voided
oh well
little dolly
all broken to bits
cos tomorrow they're gonna come and put you in the truck
and that means that i've had enough
and that means i won't see you again
and that means i can start again

Everyone has hang-ups
Everyone has spewed at a party
But not me
Not me
Everyone is winning
Everyone is goofing and giffing
But not me
Everyone has touched their bit
Everyone has toiletted their musk away
But not me
CHORUS
Everyone is normal
Everyone’s abnormally purple
Everyone has hang-ups
Everyone has spewed at a party
Somebody please wake me when it’s
1990
Somebody please wake me when it’s 1990, 1990, 1999
Everyone is a chameleon
Everyone has a beautiful onion
But not you
Not you
Everyone is finding their identity
Everyone is losing their marbles
But not you
Everyone’s smashing their mod cons
Everyone’s running to their mother
Everyone’s shaving their beard
Everyone’s joining a band
Somebody please wake me when it’s
Everyone is normal
Everyone’s abnormally purple
Everyone’s fucking robots
Everyone’s an asshole!
Somebody please wake me when its
1990
Somebody please wake me when it’s 19 19 19 19 19 19 19 99!

land line land line i miss you
land line land line talking to you
hanging up and dialling all your special codes
i memorised
land line land line i push your buttons
scandalise lies lifes truths and gossip
breaking news and bombshells
stifling our laughter and our tears
i said too much
waited for your dial
i talked too long
was forced to hang up
land line
land line
land line land line my head is restless
ending forests the autumn leaves surround me
your my life line
iʼm dying to talk to you
hello how are you
have i caught you at a good time
this reception is amazing
what say that again
i canʼt hear you
we must have a bad connection
land line land line can you hear me calling
talk to old my mate
catch up on the stories
wish all the family
my best regards
send my love
i said too much
waited for your dial
i talked too long
was forced to hang up
land line
land line
land line land line
my heads whirling
no one seems to care that iʼm hurting
hello how are you
have i caught you at a good time
this reception is amazing
what say that again
i canʼt hear you
we must have a bad connection
send my love
what say that again
send my love

If I dared to look inside
The treasure trove
Of your own madness
That only you can understand
Let me look inside dare I ask
Let me look inside just this once
Let me look inside
Let me look inside your head
Excuses obtuses obtuses excuses

It just don't add up you do the math
It just don't add up you do the
Sixes Sevens
Contradictions
Square root my mind mind mind mind mind mind
Shifting Sands
Algorithms

Crooked Lines lines lines lines lines lines
Let me look inside dare I ask
Let me look inside just this once
Let me look behind your mask
Let me look inside your madness
Excuses obtuses obtuses excuses
It just don't add up
You do the math
Excuses obtuses obtuses excuses
It just don't add up
You do the math
It just don't add up you do the math

Potholes
03:49

There's a face in my face
Potholes on the road
Big ones and small ones and people inside them
People are running away
Woah where are the running?
Why are they hiding?
I don't want to know
I went for a ride on my bike
I don't want to know
Through lanes of traffic
Boomgates Noughts and Crosses
Games that never end until somebody dies
Round and around and around and around and
Swings and roundabouts
It wasn't supposed to go round and around and
Swings and roundabouts
I ride like sonic boom
Frisky wheels stick the tar loom
Speed will get me there soon
And the traffic lights flash before my eyes
And you kept going where you were going
Where were you running
Why was I hiding?
Why Why?
Do we both run away
Why why
When we're having so much fun
Why are we
Running away
When everywhere that I go I go you go you go you go
There's a face in my face
Potholes on the road
Big ones and small ones and people inside them
People are running away
Woah where are they hiding?
I don't want to know

Wasted

Wasted wasted
My life on this x 2
Sugar wasted in cups of tea
Shoulda exercised my body more regularly
Broken mirror of my vanity
Ripped every page of my diary
Sunny days wasted in doors
Shoulda done a few less chores
Climbed more trees watched more birds
Shoulda listened to my sisters cutting words
Remember you got something that somebody else wanted
Bet your bottom dollar they still want it
Your friends aren’t who you think they are
They’ll stab your back keep up an act
Cos people can be just like that they’ll take you for everything you have
When I left home I didn’t know how to cook or sew
I had to learn the hard way
But I got by on simple things like truth and lies
I had to learn the hard way
Ripped every page of my diary
If nobody cuts the roses will they just rot away
If nobody shoots the ravens
Will they fly to the end of the highway
Wasted wasted my life on this on this
