She's independently broke
For once it wasn't my fault
I've broken other women before
But not this time, oh no

When she smiles you can see the repairs
I can't avert my stare
They'll never make another like her
Yeah, she's independently broke
And that's how I like her
She's internationally wanted
And conversationally deep
I'd be independently wealthy
If she's the one that I could keep

She's independently broke
Sometimes I think that it's not fair
How's she ever even going to get there
With no train fare? Oh no 

When she strips you can see the repairs
I can't avert my stare
They'll never make another like her
She's independently broke
And that's how I like her

She's internationally wanted
And conversationally deep 
I'd be independently wealthy 
If she's the one that I could keep 

She's internationally wanted
And antiquated unique
I'd be independently wealthy
If she's the one that I could keep 

Independently broke

Down from the field came a poppy princess
Tears in her eyes and her hair all a mess
Saying "you can light a fire if you chop down a tree,
or you can catch a cold, but you can't catch me ..."

Over the wall went the poppy princess
I called after her much to my distress
Saying "I found some honey when i chopped down the tree,
you can take all my money if you come back to me ...".

Poppy princess, I gotta confess
She took all I had and now there's nothing left
Alone in a field and i'm down on my knees
Watching that girl go floating in the breeze

Down from the sky came that high flying girl
Eyes all ablaze and her skirt all a-whirl
Saying "you can keep a promise, so the last taste is free,
so you keep wanting but you can't keep me ...".

Under my skin went the last of her words
Stopping my heart from flapping like a bird
Saying "you can do nothing, it's a bitch just to be,
noone ain't done what that bitch done to me ...".

Poppy Princess hear my last request
Hold me awhile next to your breast
Lay me in the field to sink down slow
I'll only let you leave if you let me go 

Poppy princess, I gotta confess
She took all I had and now there's nothing left
Alone in a field and i'm down on my knees
Watching that girl go floating in the breeze


Poppy Princess

I'd like to tell you stories, I'd like to speak some words
But i'm all tonguetied and twisted, it all comes out absurd
Oh no, i'm scared, of what's to come.
I lose myself in fictions, they take on twists and turns
It only causes frictions, the kind that stings and burns
I know that you're not aware of what i've become.  
And oh it's making me nervous, oh can you see my shaking hands
trying to steer this sinking ship to distant lands
I'm searching for ways to know you
you know that i'd have no-one before you
but oh, we all know what happens to best laid plans
cos i saw us in the future, much like we are now
lately i've been acting up and it seems to bring you down
don't know what it's about, here's my theory anyhow
living in the moment brings up feelings from the past
i'd like to be secure but fleeting moments never last
I'll go, before i even get to the here and now.
And oh it's making me nervous, oh can you see my shaking hands
trying to steer this sinking ship to distant lands
I'm searching for ways to know you
you know that i'd have no-one before you
but oh, we all know what happens to best laid plans

Best Laid Plans

Before you get to know me better warn ya, there's something wrong with how i think, i brush my teeth with paranoia, my breath really stinks blood fills up the sink, i put my clothes on in the wrong order and whisper at nothings in the corner, i'm a lunatic. I think everyone is out to get me, the plan is to get them first, i'd go crazy if the voices let me, the bubble would burst as i whispered my curse, it's my own fault for letting things upset me, all i know is you ain't gonna forget me, i'm a lunatic. I'd throw myself from a high rise, just to see the look in your eyes, as i fell like a stone, this bag full of bones, you'd see how you loved what you thought you despised. 

Lunatic

I'm a heartbreaker, a spiteful ex maker, i'm a bounder a cad, i'm a boneshaker, shake what yer mama gave ya, i'm the best that you ever had, i'm a romeo so say the girls in mexico, new york and japan, want your toes curled, someone to rock your world, look no further baby i am your man, that's what i tell all the other guys, but you see through my lies, translucent. You see through me with x-ray vision, think it's time i gotta make a decision. Had my heart broken, my rib cage torn right open, i'm depressed and alone, at the phone shaking, scared of the call i'm making, it's the worst feeling i've ever known, i'm a nobody as far as i can see, in fact i'm hardly a man, feel my nerves crawl, all my dreams unfurl, can't go further baby, don't think i can. Not what i tell all the other guys, you see through my lies, translucent. 

Translucent

Don't think I wanna tell you where i've been, some of my stories are quite obscene, don't think i wanna tell you bout yesterday's weirdness. But you know, i think i might like to bear my soul, you have to give yourself away in order to feel whole, think i might tell you bout yesterdays weirdness. Stop stop stop, what are you doing man, you think you really can trust this person? Stop stop stop, read the manuscript, it's time to seal those lips and carry your burden on, and on. And if  i told you the truth would it comfort you, told you about it what would you do, if i told you a lie how bad would it be, why do you have to know all about me girl? It's just yesterday's weirdness, and it's nobodies business but mine. She doesn't really think that this will last if i'm not man enough to share my past, she really wants to know about yesterdays weirdness. And you know, i think i might like to bear my soul, it's breaking my back just carrying it all, there's no such thing as nobodies business. Stop stop stop what you doing man, do you think you really can trust this person? Stop stop, read the manuscript, it's time to seal those lips and carry your burden on, and on. And if i told you the truth would it comfort you, told you about it what would you do, if i told you a lie how bad would it be, why do you have to know all about me girl? It's just yesterdays weirdness, and it's nobodies business but mine. 

Yesterday's Weirdness

I can fix this situation if i just write an equation, and if everything is equal then there's sure to be a sequel, i've seen you so many times that i start counting up the lines, and if everythings decided they'll see we can't be divided. One and one is two, that's a sum that i could get used to, the symettrys sublime seeing how we're both in our prime, it's true, is that proof enough for you? If you want i'll love you one time, if you need i'll love you two times, if you don't i'll love you three times, if you do indeed i'll love you four times, if you cry i'll love you five times, if you moan i'll love you six times, if you don't know i'll love you seven times, if you come on i'll love you eight times. So c'mon! 

Do the Math

Let's go out tonight, let's go out tonight, take a couple of pills, go looking for thrills, dance around to the ringing of tills. There's a show on tonight, there's a show on tonight, we've seen it before, ten times or more, i really don't mind i'm feeling quite bored ... so bored. Here comes the rush, fucking my braincells, up with the mainsails, it's not what the name sells. Here comes the rush, trying to ride it, no need to hide it, just feel it and find it. Let's go home tonight, let's go home tonight, do a couple of lines, stretch out the time, i really don't mind i'm feeling quite bored. Take our clothes off tonight, take our clothes off tonight, i'm feeling scared, i don't really care, it's got to be better than being ignored. So bored. Here comes the rush, like an explosion, then a gentle erosion, my tinglin nose and then. Here comes the rush, searching for nothing, i cry out for love and heaven above then ... I'm bored, so bored.

Here comes the rush

J oh why? Did you tell me you liked me, i know that it's a lie. I'm just an ordinary fucked up guy, you're too good for me. J oh no! You've been out with somebody? Say it isn't so. These are the things that i just don't want to know, they're no good for me. You've got the grooves and you've got the moves my smoky jo. Well it's true what they say you've got to give yourself away, if you ever want to feel whole. Storm clouds gathering and flickering white flame, honey that's what you're doing to my soul. You've got the grooves and you've got the moves, my smoky jo. 

Smoky Joe

I've forgotten more than most of you recall, i know who i am and that's about all, keep going places i think i've never been, then i hear these words, when my face is seen, and they say ... here we go again. Can you call it love when all you ever do, is fit them to your mould and make them someone new. It's then i hit the bottle, it's then i pray, that i'll awake to a new face on a different day. And she'll say ... here we go again. Need a little more to make it through the night, when the colours fade it's all i know to make things bright. Haven't got a lover, cannot find a friend, when i think this hopeless brokedown feelings set to end then i say ... here we go again. 

Here we Go Again

I need new highs because i've reached new lows, i've aged a thousand different ways and it's starting to show. I need new friends because i'm losing them fast, i've said it time and time before but it never lasts. And i know it ain't right but i stayed out all night, i've got blue eyeshadow on. I'm looking around for my  old cowboy hat but it's gone. I want to live, but not for too long, i've this innate ability for getting it wrong. I want to love, but just for tonight, if you'd pretend to be my friend would that be alright? And i know it ain't right but i left her last night and i'll just keep rolling on. I'm looking around for her face in the crowd but she's gone. Now i'm gone. 

Blue Eyeshadow

Every towns got its ghost stories, and its boogieman, to keep the children quiet, to keep them all in line, i'd wake my mother screaming, i'd cry i'd yell i'd beg, not to let him get me, the child with the blank face of an egg. But he did, oh he did! Taunted by their mantra, it wouldn't go away, thought Little Johnny Egg Face would come for me some day, i tried to forget him, to put him from my mind, but the song the other kids sang, haunts me with it's lines, oh the kids, oh the kids all singing Little Johnny Egg Face, doesn't cry, couldn't even try, cos he's got no eyes, Little Johnny Egg Face. They took him to a doctors to look inside his head, was his life worth living, was he alive or dead? Found out he was deluded, imagined all he couldn't see, i didn't know what they did, that little kid was me! Oh the kid, oh the kid now singing Little Johnny Egg Face, doesn't cry, couldn't even try, cos he's got no eyes, Little Johnny Egg Face.


Little Johnny Eggface

Just because you're beautful, they'll want what you can't give, just because you're incredible, they'll judge the way you live, just because you're indescribable, they'll put you in a box, just because you're so free they'll chain you with their locks. Hide your secrets in the dark my love. Hide yourself but don't you ever lose your spark. Just because you're out of reach they'll sleep and lie in wait, just because you're not like them they'll teach them all to hate, just because you're so unique they'll try to hide your face, just because you're no-ones friend they'll kill and leave no trace. Hide your secrets in the dark my love. Hide yourself but don't you ever lose your spark.

Spark

If I close my eyes, does the world disappear? 
If I close my eyes, am I no longer here? 
If I close my eyes, are all my troubles gone? 
If I close my eyes, where am I? 
I don't want the world to end, I just want it to stop a while
If I really think about it I don't want to die
All I wants a little time for all these cuts to heal and mend
Let me take a moment then I'll get back up and try
So then I'll close my eyes, let the world disappear
I'll close my eyes, hoping you are still near
I'll close my eyes, knowing I'm not alone
When I close my eyes, when I close my eyes.

Close My Eyes

Programmed to believe, our neural wiring atrophied
We told ourselves that it was for the best
Hopeful till the last, forsook the present and the past
Till our machines broke down and came to rest
We used to fear the dark, but now we fear ourselves
And it's the hardest thing, to talk to someone else
So we'll keep on telling lies, while watching cameras scan our eyes
Say what you want as long as it's not heard
And they'll find us years from now, LED lights blinking out
A message in morse code, but noone cared
We used to fear the dark, but now we fear ourselves
And it's the hardest thing, to talk to someone else
But oh, if we only had a moment to ourselves
We might realise that it's all gone to hell x 2

Gone To Hell

Innocence, oh Innocence, we lost you long ago 
We climbed the tree, so we might see
Ate fruit so we might know
The pills we take prove love is fake
We fight our wars alone
And now todays the price we pay
For all that we have known
In a sense this won't make sense
I'm guilty as us all 
While we sang, the future rang
But noone took the call
Who's to say that what's today, tomorrow will not be? 
The truth is some, will not become
And most will never be ...

Innocence

One day I was out alone
Too many days like this
Freedom sometimes tastes like shit
She was standing lost forlorn
I said gimme five, 
I can show you where to go ... 

Ten corners we must turn before we get there
Even though we only met, 
There's time for us to get to know each other
Five minutes ago, we were only strangers,
Now we're Tonto and Lone Ranger
And it's time to turn another corner

Sex never even crossed my mind
Not like i'm savin myself 
Hate to say it, but that takes someone else
If she said nein then I would go 
Tend to think that's not the case, 
We'll keep turning till we've found our place

Ten corners we must turn before we get there
Even though we only met, 
There's time for us to get to know each other
Five minutes ago, we were only strangers,
Now we're Tonto and Lone Ranger
And it's time to turn another corner

One, two, three, four, five
I feel like she's my best friend
Six, seven, eight, nine, ten
C'mon let's go again!
