LYRICS 

depression is the key to enlightenment 
shadows are the key to a smile
‘cos happiness is just a myth
you won’t find it if you walk ten million miles
you will just find pain
with bloody feet and a messed up brain
as you try to find a way

i was doing office work
when i found it in a file
it was heavy as a big red brick 
it was a concrete slab or a big stone tile
and all it said was a big fat letter Z
and “you’ve got to find a way”

and you’ve got to know
there is no one like you 
no one at all
and it’s all your fault
you enlightened me

depression is the key to enlightenment
depression is the key to enlightenment
depression is the key to enlightenment

depression is the key to enlightenment 
shadows are the key to a smile ‘cos 
happiness is just a myth 
you won’t find it if you walk ten million miles
you will just find pain
with bloody feet and a  messed  up  oh

and you got to know
there is no one like you
no one at all
and it’s all your fault 
you enlightened me 
yeah

‘cos when you’re in the ditch you see the world for how it really is 
and god can lift you up and out of it to take a piss
drain the fluid from your body, got to drain it all
‘cos all the fluid in your body’s fucking alcohol 
you haven’t eaten in five days straight and that’s great
‘cos you hate the food but still you’ve put on weight
withdrawal, how’d you get the energy?
god given, heaven sent their empathy
i can’t leave and my days are lazy
i’ve been doing some reading and waiting for jesus to save me
how’d you tell the ones you love you’re gonna be late home?
and not just for the evening like really fucking late home?
how’d you let your only son know over the telephone?
daddy’s got to fix himself, i know it’s scary but i got to go
I hope you keep on walking, I hope you learn to share
depression is the key to enlightenment, it’s gonna get me there//it’s gonna get me there

Depression is the Key to Enlightenment

LYRICS 

*ain’t no mystical energy field controls my destiny*

wanna be with you forever 
but forever means nothing to me
except when we’re together 
when i feel the world could live eternally 
could you really end perfection?
could you really put a stop in purity?
love to look at your reflection 
your cons and flaws and insecurities 

‘cos i 
don’t wanna die
not with you in the world 
i feel bad for you girl
‘cos you’re stuck with me for life//for life

you’re under my protection 
but i like you don’t really  n e e d  it
you’re too good for me to mention 
and i wish that you could  s e e  it

‘cos i 
don’t wanna die
not with you in the world 
i feel bad for you girl
‘cos you’re stuck with me for life//for life

feel so natural round you
so good luck with that
we’ll see how you do//see how you do//see how you do

*ain’t no mystical energy field controls my destiny*

‘cos i 
don’t wanna die
not with you in the world 
i feel bad for you girl
‘cos you’re stuck with me for life
‘cos i 
don’t wanna die
not with you in the world 
i feel bad for you girl
‘cos you’re stuck with me for life//for life

Good Luck

LYRICS 

you’ve got your knickers in a twist 
‘cos you are too fucking pissed
your father won’t be happy
if you come home with me
no, get out of my room
i’m not going to fuck you
i’m taken you’re mistaken 
don’t need your pleasure faking

you say i’m scared
scared to touch you there

try me//try me//try me//try me//try me//try me//try me

every good day ends drunk and horny 
and i must admit you’re doing it for me 
the way you dance 
a backward glance
you said “babe won’t you give me a chance”
no, get out of my room
i ain’t going to fuck you
i’m taken you’re mistaken 
don’t need your teasing faking

you say i’m scared
scared to touch you there

*if you’re standing at the fucking back get the fuck forward now*

baby said “try me” and i looked surprised 
despite having eyes on her arse and her thighs
she liked how i spoke and she thought i looked nice 
makes a change ‘cos all night i’d been checking out guys
ha, she said “try me” and i looked surprised 
despite having eyes on her arse and her thighs
she liked how i spoke and she thought i looked nice 
makes a change ‘cos all night i’d been checking out guys

look where i is
you must be taking the piss
where are we at bitch?
what have i missed?
we used to be tight like a fist 
you were a friend for when i was down and blue and high and red eyed like a chiss
incoming message with the truth coming through 
i only loved you when i was pissed
out of my mind
room spinning, half blind
stop caring i’m fine
why do you care bitch?
why do you care?
i’m just a little queer cuck
so why in the fuck would anybody care so much?
so i pretend that you don’t 
‘cos it makes more sense that you won’t 
i don’t care for myself 
i think i’m a loser that don’t deserve shit
don’t take care of my health
and i know that some day i’m gonna lose it
waste half my life just like my father did
imma die having never even seen the concept of wealth
but maybe that’s good for me 
that’s just how it’s supposed to be 

‘cos rich cunts don’t get into heaven 
and right wing cunts don’t get into heaven 
if that’s ever me then shoot me in my fucking face
but i know you couldn’t do that you fucking disgrace ‘cos

you care too much
but not enough 

try me//try me//try me//try me//try me//try me//try me//try me//try me//try me

Try Me

LYRICS

there was a time 
when i called you up drunk 
and there was a time 
you would’ve liked it too
oh, there was a time 
that any time i rang
the ringing would be music to you
but there comes a time 
when every song must fade out
and there comes a time 
to stop fucking about
oh, there comes a time for love
comes a time to forget
there’ll be a time to reminisce 
but it’s not just yet

oh, elektra
i am hollow
oh, elektra
i can’t follow
you into that hole

i need your time 
you make me feel alive 
like nobody has ever before you
but there came a time
where you stepped over the line
and you became just like him
oh, there comes a time for love 
comes a time to forget
there’ll be a time to reminisce 
but it’s not just yet 

oh, elektra 
i am hollow 
oh, elektra 
i can’t follow
you into that hole//that hole//that hole//that hole//that hole//that

there’s nothing quite like me and you 
and there’s nothing we can’t do
not with you in my arms
keep you safe from the harm
that you do to yourself 
it’s. us. against the world
you can still be my girl
we can hide from the pain 
run to london or  s p a i n

i got pride
pride to swallow
oh, elektra 
i am hollow
i am blue 
i am borrowed
MAYBE WE STILL
HAVE A TOMORROW 

elektra,
i am hollow
please don’t go now
let me follow
let me  f o l l o w

NOW YOU’RE GONE YOU’RE GONE AWAY
AND ALL MY LEGS CAN DO IS STAY
you melt INTO MY ARMS
and go where i can’t follow oh
