(So hard to say goodbye
Meaning it today
I've said goodbye before
Leaving you alone
By the sea
So hard to say goodbye)
Hello sunshine
Come into my life (X2)
In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life
I'm a minger
You're a minger too
So come on minger
I want to ming with you
In honesty it's been a while
Since we had reason left to smile
Hello sunshine
Come into my life
You're not so innocent
You're a disgrace to your country
If you fled a million miles
I'd chase you for a day
(If I could be bothered)
Hello sunshine (X5)

Liberty Belle is ringing out across the sea
And everyone sings along
Though she's singing way out of key
From the shores of Galilee
To the runways of Anglesey
You know we're digging to hell
Right past our oil wells
As the magpies fly from Tallahassee
To the sky
Memory Lane forgot her way after all this time
And she never learned from her mistakes
And all the crime
That caused the gulf of misery
That's separating you from me
You know we're digging to hell
Drowning in our oil wells
As the seagulls fly from Abu Dhabi
To the sky
The birds still sing their melodies
Songs of love and food and trees
Oh my, how they fly
So little do they know, yeah
Yet their days are numbered so
Alarms are ringing in the trees:
You know you're digging to hell
Drowning in your oil wells
As the ashes fly from New York City
Past the grimy clouds above New Jersey
Past the kids who like to smoke like chimneys
. . .

Hey said the devil
When I met you at the roundabout
She's got powers
Magnetic devours you of everything you've got
She's a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
Then she'll bleed you dry
Stop! Said the puppy
When I met him at the zebra cross
She said "You need protection
From every direction
But she'll get you anyhow"
She's a golden retriever
Retrieves your oldest coin
Leads you blindly down every dark alley
Then she'll bleed you dry
She's a golden retriever
She's a golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever
Golden retriever

Twenty Twenty Vision 2 see
Said a little voice 2 me
I can see
Tell me what was it like
When U switched off the lights
Went to bed before midnight
Fail to find you at home that night
So finally
It’s got to be
Down, down to me
Living ‘94
When me and you were at war
I’z born a baby that didn’t cry
Programme Robots 2 make them lie
Twenty twenty vision to see
I can see
So finally
It’s got to be
Down, down to me
If tears could kill
I’d be a long time gone

Have you ever seen the sun
Rising high to the sound of a gun?
Blue and white and yellow sun
Capturing imagination
We went down to the piccolo drum
Never made it into the hum
Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo snare
Have you ever seen the sea
Painted red by a bleeding army?
Sky hawks gather for a feast
Of pawns who will never find peace
Tumbledown to the piccolo snare
Never made it into the square
Down to the piccolo
Down to the piccolo
No one particular cared
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming
Now! We can go home again
To our old haunts again
Together
Now scatter us all around
Far from the bugle sound
Surrender
Safe in the exclusion zone
Catch me and take me home
As brother fights brother
Wrapped up in tarnished flags
Banners and body bags
Surrender!
The power!
Phantom!
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming

[Raised by wolves until the age of two, my closest childhood friends and
confidants were my 2 pet turtles, Venus and Serena]
Son:
Father, father I have sinned
I dunno where to begin
Give me words of advice
I'll save 'em up for a clear day
Father:
Keep your eye upon the ball
Write your thoughts upon the wall
There's some words of advice
Save 'em up for a clear day
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
Flushing meadows down the stream
Living life as though it's a dream
Eat the future today
Don't save it up for a rainy day
Holy bombs make holy holes
Holy holes make homeless moles
Take the turtle and hare
Don't run around when you can walk there
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
Son:
Father, Father, Father, Father
Can't you see?
I'm a walking tragedy
Father, father, father
When I look to the past
I never realised that it wouldn't last
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
(Venus and Serena understand)
Venus and Serena understand
Father:
I've one final thing to say
I'm not your father anyway
Found you under a cloud

Cloud upon cloud cries poison rain
Slate, hair, roads glisten again
There's no console
It's no game
We were going places
It's such a shame
Bleed forever
Seep from the stones
Bleed forever
Silence our tones
Bleed forever
Mould us like clay
For everything we have is taken away
The gurning gunrunner wakes from his sleep
With no remorse for those who kick by his feet
Skin care consultant calls the police
But from this dungeon
There is no release
Bleed forever
Seep from the stones
Bleed forever
Silence our tones
Bleed forever
Mould us like clay
For everything we had has wasted away
Fate decided
Rubbing your eyes
Men in tailcoats absorb the cries
Milk the scapegoat
Milk it dry
Put it down
And watch it die
Bleed forever
Seep from the stones
Bleed forever
Bleed to the bones
Bleed forever
Burn us away
For everything we had has wasted away
. . .

Fast and cheap
Ninja jihad
Suck my Oil
Feel my vineyard
I am scum
You are scum
Bus has gone
Bye so long
We are scum
We are scum
Bus has gone
Overrun and
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Holy wars
Phantom Power
Phantom lies
On the hour
We are one kind
Bear it in mind
We are one kind
Bear it in mind
We are one kind
Bear it in mind
We are one kind
Unrefined and
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control
Out of control

She came in smelling of cabbages
Pumpkin roots and all winter's ravages
She came in around dawn
Took her coat off
Burdened down by the Russian winter
Felt the warmth of the hearth
Bathed a while naked in hot water
Wash away imminent disaster
Thinking through her today
And the murder
Of the bailiff and the landowner
Felt no shame
Only gain
Cleansed the pike
Peeled all the potatoes
Beetroots ripe for bellies of gigolos
Served it up for her son and her daughter
For the last time she imagines
Reprobates lie in wait
Baby bye-bye
(Bye-bye, bye-bye)
(Sky)
Bye-bye baby
(Sky, sky)
Skybaby
(Sky, sky)
Bye-bye baby
(Sky, sky)
Sweet vigilante
(Sky, sky)
Bye-bye baby
(Sky, sky)
Skybaby
(Sky, sky)
Bye-bye baby
(Sky, sky)
Sweet vigilante
(Sky)

[Cardiff to Vilimus in five easy verses]
Vilimus vacation
I don't need no inoculation
I just jump in my car and go
For how long?
I do not know
The Euro Zone is my home
Passed my driving test last year
You know it took me a while to get there
It was my fourth time around
And I was in perfect mind of sound
Underneath my chair is the road to her
[At this point I switch my radio on]
If it's not crap trance on the radio
Then it's problem rock on every show
You know they're go no more lows to go
They're making too much money
And taking too much Blow
Your mind is behind
[And this is total nowness]
Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Some would argue that it's grey
Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Sleep in lay-bys on the way
[Coming up to Berlin I have a mild accident]
Well it's Solvent Abuse Awareness Week
At the clinic in a Berlin backyard
Sleek as the big lump on my head
I could really do with a bath and a bed
But underneath my chair
Is the road to her
[So I just head on for Poland, and, er...]
Reach my destination with no satellite navigation system
Just a map and a clear mind
If I run out of bucks
Maybe I'll drive a truck
But it's a lonely way to make some pay
Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Some would argue that it's grey
Fly away in my silver Bluebird
Sleep in lay-bys on the way
Fly, Fly away
Fly, Fly away
Fly, Fly away

Noise pollution solution, solution
I, I loose again
You are the victor
I confess
You are David and Goliath
I'm but the dirt
Beneath your feet
But so shallow the Undefeated
(Noise pollution solution)
But so shallow the Undefeated
Step, step into my shoes
I'll try and make you understand
I live my life without a plan
I need no guidance
Just your patience
For so shallow the undefeated
(Noise pollution solution)
For so shallow the undefeated
Every animal has its day
We will chase the Phantoms away
For so shallow the undefeated
(Noise pollution solution)
Yes so shallow the undefeated
Yes so shallow the undefeated
(Noise pollution solution)
Yes so shallow the undefeated
For so shallow the undefeated
Yes so shallow the undefeated

Move you
Buy and sell you
Terrorise you
Mass destruct you
Flaunt you
Disconnect you
Cluster fuck you
We will crush you
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
I see television
Pretty pictures
Of starvation
Icy cold fractures
I see fragments
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
Rocks are slow life
