1. Jacqueline

Jacqueline was seventeen, working on a desk
When Ivor peered above her spectacle
Forgot that he had wrecked a girl
Sometime these eyes forget the face they're peering from
When the face they peer upon
Well you know that face as I do
And how in the return of the gaze
She can return you the face that you're staring from

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday
That's why we only work when we need the money

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday
That's why we only work when we need the money

Gregor was down again
Said, 'Come on, kick me again'
Said, 'I'm so drunk I don't mind if you kill me'

Come on you gutless
Yeah, I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive and how I know it
But for chips, and for freedom I could die

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday
That's why we only work when we need the money

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday
That's why we only work when we need the money

It's always better on holiday
So much better on holiday
That's why we only work when we need the money

3. Take Me Out

So if you're lonely
You know I'm here waiting for you
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot away from you
And if you leave here
You leave me broken, shattered I lie
I'm just a crosshair
I'm just a shot then we can die

I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say don't you know?
You say you don't know
I say take me out

I say you don't show
Don't move, time is slow
I say take me out

I say you don't know
You say you don't go
I say take me out

If I move, this could die
Eyes move, this could die
I want you to take me out

I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here with you

I say don't you know?
You say you don't know
I say take me out

If I wink, this can die
If I wane, this can die
I want you to take me out

If I move, this could die
If eyes move, this could die
Come on, take me out

I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here
I know I won't be leaving here with you

4. The Dark Of The Matinee

take your white finger
Slide the nail under
the top and bottom buttons of
my blazer
Relax the fraying wool, slacken ties And I'm
not to look at you in the shoe
but the eyes
find the eyes

find me and follow me through corridors, refectories
and files You must follow leave this academic factory
You’ll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
is better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine …. is mine

time every journey
to bump into you
accidentally I
charm you and tell you
of the boys I hate
All the girls I hate
All the words I hate
All clothes I hate
How I'll never be
anything I hate
You smile, mention something that you like
How you'd have a happy life
if you did the things you like

find me and follow me through corridors, refectories
and files You must follow leave this academic factory
You’ll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
is better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine …. is mine

So I'm on BBC2 now,
telling Terry Wogan how
I made it and
What I made is unclear,
but his deference is
and his laughter is
My words and smile are so easy now
Yes, It's easy now (2x)

find me and follow me through corridors, refectories
and files You must follow leave this academic factory
You’ll find me in the matinee
The dark of the matinee
is better in the matinee
The dark of the matinee is mine …. is mine
(2x)

5. Auf Achse

You see her, you can't touch her
You hear her, you can't hold her
You want her and you can't have her
You want to, but she wont let you

You see her, you can't touch her
You hear her, you can't hold her
You want her and you can't have her
You want to, but she wont let you

She's not so special, so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special, so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special, so look what you've done

Now you wish you'd never come back here again
Oh, never come back here again

You see her, you can't touch her
You hear her, you can't hold her
You want her and you can't have her
You want to, but she wont let you

You see her, you can't touch her
You hear her, you can't hold her
You want her and you can't have her
You want to, but she wont let you

She's not so special, so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special, so look what you've done, boy
She's not so special, so look what you've done

And now I'm nailed above you, pushing from my side
It's with your sins that you have killed me
Thinking of your sins I die, thinking how you'd let them touch you
How you'd never realise that I'm ripped and hang forsaken
Knowing I will never rise again

You see her
You hear her
You want her
You want to

You see her
You still hear her
You want her
You still want to

7. This Fire

Eyes, boring a way through me
Paralyse, controlling completely
Now there is a fire in me
A fire that burns

This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city
Burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city
Burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city
Burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn it, I'll burn it
I, I, I'll burn it down

Eyes, burning a way through me
Overwhelm, destroying so sweetly
Now, there is a fire within me
A fire that burns

This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city
Burn this city
This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city
Burn this city
This fire is out of control
Then I, I'm out of control
And I burn, I burn
Oh, how I burn

This fire is out of control
I'm going to burn this city
Burn this city...

 

8. Darts Of Pleasure

You are the latest contender
You are the one to remember
You are the villain that sells a line of dark fantastic passion

I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion, we'll have fantastic passion

You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Words of love, words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Tied and so you die

You are the lastest adventure
You're an emotional avenger
You are the devil that sells a line of dark fantastic passion

I know that you will surrender
I know that you will surrender
I want this fantastic passion, we'll have fantastic passion

You can feel my lips undress your eyes
Undress your eyes, undress your eyes
Skin can feel my lips, they tingle tense anticipation
This was an easy one, feel the word and melt upon it
Words of love, words so leisured
Words are poisoned darts of pleasure
Tied and so you die

Ich heisse superfantastisch
Ich trinke Schampus mit Lachsfisch
Ich heisse superfantastisch...

10. Come On Home

Although my lover lives in a place that I can't live
I kinda find I like a life this lonely
It rips and pierces me in places I can't see
I love the rip of nerves, the rip that wakes me

So I'm dissatisfied, I love dissatisfied
I love to feel there's always more that I need

So come on home
So come on home
So come home...

You're where you want to be, I'm where I want to be
Caught up chasing everything I've ever wanted
I replace you easily, replace pathetically
I flirt with any flighty thing that falls my way

But how I needed you, when I needed you
Let's not forget we are so strong, so bloody strong

Come on home
So come on home
So come home...

Blue light falls upon your perfect skin
Falls, and you draw back again
Falls, and this is how I fell
And I can not forget this
And I can not forget this

Come on home
So come on home
But don't forget to leave

 

11. 40’ Ft

As I glanced once upon the foam
40 feet beneath my feet
The cold has come, flows through the molten veins
Cooling all the blood to slush, congeals around again
Oh, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la

La la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la
Oh, and forty feet remain

Soft scales upon my drying arms
Burn my back beneath the sun
I am cold beneath the burning haze
Looking down, looking down, down, down again
Oh, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la
La la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la
Oh, and forty feet remain

La la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la
La la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la
La la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la
La la la-la, la la la-la, la la la-la, la la-la la

Oh, and forty feet remain
