Destroy the spineless....

BUTTERFLIES AND HURRICANES
Change,
Everything you are
And everything you were
Your number has been called
Fights and battles have begun
Revenge will surely come
Your hard times are ahead
Best,
You've got to be the best
You've got to change the world
And use this chance to be heard
Your time is now
Don't,
Let yourself down
And don't let yourself go
Your last chance has arrived

NEW BORN
Link it to the world
Link it to yourself
Stretch it like a birth squeeze
The love for what you hide
The bitterness inside
Is growing like the new born
When you've seen, seen
TOO MUCH, TOO YOUNG
Soulless is everywhere
Hopeless time to roam
The distance to your home
Fades away to nowhere
How much are you worth
YOU CAN'T COME DOWN TO EARTH
You’re swelling up, you're unstoppable
'Cause you've seen, seen
Too much, too young, young
SOULLESS IS EVERYWHERE
Destroy the spineless
Show me it's real
Wasting our last chance
To come away
Just break the silence
'Cause I’m drifting away
Away from you

HATE THIS AND I'LL LOVE YOU
Oh I am growing tired,
Of allowing you to steal,
Everything I have, you're making me feel,
Like I was born to service you,
But I am growing by the hour.
You left us far behind,
So we all discard our souls.
And blaze through your skies,
So afraid to die.
Cos I was born to destroy you,
And I am growing by the hour.
And I'm getting strong in every way, Yeah. Yeah.
You led me on, you led me on, you...
Oh, and I'm getting strong in every way, yeah

BLACKOUT
Don't kid yourself
And don't fool yourself
This love's too good, to last
And I'm too old to dream, yeah...
Don't grow up too fast
And don't embrace the past
This life's too good to last
And I'm too young to care, yeah...
Don't kid yourself
And don't fool yourself
This life could be the last
And we're too young to see

SUNBURN
Come waste your millions here
Secretly she sings
Another corporate show
Guilty conscience grows
I'll feel guilty conscience grow
I'll feel guilty conscience grow
She burns like the sun
I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons make no mistake
Come let the truth be shared
No one ever dared
To break these endless nights
Secretly she cries
She burns like the sun
I can't look away
She'll burn our horizons make no mistake
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever can't face the shame
And I'll hide from the world
Behind a broken frame
And I'll burn forever can't face the shame

THOUGHTS OF A DYING ATHEIST
Eerie whispers
Trapped beneath my pillow
You won't let me see
Your memories
And I know you're in this room
I'm sure I heard you sigh
Floating in between
Where our worlds collide
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
Yeah yeah yeah ....
And I know the moment's near
And there's nothing we can do
Look through a faithless eye
Are you afraid to die?
It scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see
And it scares the hell out of me
And the end is all I can see

Black Star

I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head and what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home

The troubled words of a troubled mind I try to understand what is eating you
I try to stay awake but its 58 hours since that I last slept with you
What are we coming to?
I just don't know anymore

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home

I get on the train and I just stand about now that I don't think of you
I keep falling over I keep passing out when I see a face like you
What am I coming to?
I'm gonna melt down

Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
This is killing me
This is killing me



Karma Police

Karma police, arrest this man
He talks in maths
He buzzes like a fridge
He's like a detuned radio

Karma police, arrest this girl
Her Hitler hairdo is
Making me feel ill
And we have crashed her party

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

Karma Police
I've given all I can
It's not enough
I've given all I can
But we're still on the payroll

This is what you get
This is what you get
This is what you get when you mess with us

And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
And for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself

For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
For for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself
Phew, for a minute there, I lost myself, I lost myself


In the early version, the first verse went:
Karma police arrest this girl
She stares at me
As if she owns the world and
We have crashed her party



Prove Yourself

I can't afford to breathe in this time
Nowhere to sit without a gun in my hand
Hooked back up to the cathode ray
I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

I wanna breathe, I wanna grow
I'd say I want it but I don't know how
I work, I bleed, I beg and I pray
But I'm better off dead
I'm better off dead
I'm better off

Prove yourself
Prove yourself
Prove yourself

Why?



Scatterbrain

I'm walking out in a force ten gale
Birds thrown around, bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off by its fingernails
Your voice is rattlin' on my window sill
Yesterday's headlines blown by the wind
Yesterday's people end up scatterbrain
Any fool can easy pick a hole I only wish I could fall in
A moving target in a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Lightning fuse, powercut
Scatterbrain



How to Disappear Completely

That man, that's not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah, it's gone

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes

I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here, I'm not here....



Idioteque

I'll swallow till I burst

Who's in a bunker, who's in a bunker
I haven't seen too much
I haven't seen enough
You haven't seen it
I'll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children..

Here I'm alive, everything all of the time
Here I'm alive, everything all of the time

Ice age coming, ice age coming
Let me hear both sides

Let me hear both..

Ice age coming, ice age coming
Throw it in the fire

We're not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening

Here I'm alive, everything all of the time

Ne lomite mi bagrenje

Verujem cenjeni sude
da dobro poznajes ljude
vi barem imate posla,
jer cud je cud, a sud je sud

Verujem cenjena glavo
da si i ucio pravo
da svakom sudis posteno,
jer cast je cast, a vlast je vlast

I sve po zakonu...
za to sam prvi,
ne bi bilo ove krvi
da je bilo sve po zakonu

Vlast je vlast, i ja to postujem.
Tu su paragrafi pa zagrabi,
nek isto je i djavolu i djakonu,
pa nek se zna...

Nek su mi gazili njivom,
mojom se sladili sljivom.
Uvek je lopova bilo
jer cuk je cuk, i vuk je vuk

Nikada zlotvora dosta,
susa mi unisti bostan
i led se prospe pred zetvu,
al' led je led, a red je red

I prekardasilo.
Im'o sam bagremovu sumu,
tamo dole prema drumu,
pa sam cekao

Red je red, polako komsije
Ne moze samo da se udje
da se rusi tude,
lepo sam im rekao:

Ne lomite mi bagrenje.
Bez njih ce me vetrovi oduvati
pustite ih moraju mi cuvati
jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati

Ne lomite mi bagrenje.
Pod njima sam je ljubio
bosonogu i odbeglu od sna

Ljudi smo cenjeni sude,
pa neka bude sta bude.
Zao mi marama crnih,
al' plac je plac, a mac je mac

Ne pitaj sta bi sad bilo,
kad bi se ponovo zbilo,
ne pitaj da li se kajem
jer jed je jed, a red je red

I sve po zakonu,
tu su paragrafi
pa zagrabi posteno
i za veru i za neveru

Red je red,
sve ja to postujem
Jer vise bilo bi ubica
nego ptica koje polecu
ka severu

Ne lomite mi bagrenje.
Bez njih ce me vetrovi oduvati
pustite ih moraju mi cuvati
jednu tajnu zlatnu kao dukati

Ne lomite mi bagrenje.
Pod njima sam je ljubio

O, zar moram da vam ponovim
okanite se njih, jer sve cu
da vas polomim



Posvadjana pesma

Sa katedrale tri puta lupilo
dosta se zvezdica na misu skupilo
plocnik k'o potocic, posrebren,
krivudav

Zar su se ulice ponovo smanjile
a senke brestova utanjile
ili ja to nisam predugo prosao tuda

Rasipam korake, k'o pijan dinare
od micurinove do detelinare
nemir me vuce njoj svojim tankim
vlaknom

Mozda se upravo malo odljutila
mozda je nekako naslutila
kakva se drama odvija pod mojom
jaknom

A mesec pojma nema,
matora lola drema
jutros je lumpov'o po kini
dok se sa sobom borim da tacno
izgovorim
tu tesku stranu rec - izvini

Ona me voli, znam, ok, ne suvise
al' taman dovoljno da krisom uzdise
kada me traceri ubace u semu

Skripucu oblaci pod njenim nogama
ne da se ludica tvrdoglava
stavise, pise udzbenik na istu temu

Samo je vetar sretan, vrti se k'o
baletan
u svojoj sivoj pelerini
dok moje misli traze kako se ono po
naski kaze
ta teska strana rec - izvini



Zivot je more

Zivot je more, pucina crna,
po kojoj tonu mnogi sto brode.
Nije mi srce plasljiva srna,
ja se ne bojim velike vode.

Lome me vali, nose me struje:
oseka srece, a tuge plima.
Siba me nebo bicem oluje,
al' jos se ne dam i jos me ima.

U jutra rana plase me senke
minulih dana.
Secanja mutna kao u lazi, kao u snu.
Ipak se borim, ipak se nadam,
sve manje letim, sve vise padam
i sve su jace ruke sto me vuku dnu.

Mozda ce zena svilenog bedra,
koja me zove i pruza ruke,
uliti vetar u moja jedra
do nove zene, do nove luke.

Zivot je more...
Zivot je more...
Zivot je more...



Ne volim januar

Ne volim januar
i bele zimske vragove

U svakom snegu
vidim iste tragove,
tragove malih stopa,
broj trideset i ko zna,
kako polako odlaze

Vise ne prolazim
ulicom Dositejevom
i nemam pojma
kad neko pita gde je to

Tih dvesta sest koraka
duzinom tog sokaka
nikad ja nisam brojao

Nisam te nikad cuvao,
nisam te nikada mazio, pazio
Tvoju sam ljubav gazio,
svemu smisljao broj

Nisam te nikad stedeo
i nisam umeo stati i ostati
Sta ce od mene postati,
mali andjele moj?

Ne gledam filmove
iz ranih sedamdesetih,
dosta je suza
i rastanaka nesretnih

Ko takve stvari snima?
Bas cudnog sveta ima,
tako se lako rasplacu
