1. Ghosts

Here I stand, victorious
The only man who made you come
When you cried you cried for us
And when we died you died alone
Gravity's calling
Don't go home
Where are we?

 

Did what I could for one of us
I always thought it was for you
And when I lied
Oh I lied for us
Because you never heard the truth

 

I'm lying alone tonight
Don't go home
Where are we
If we are ghosts?
(A long long time ago)
(It looks like we could have made it babe)
We are ghosts
(A long long time ago)
(Me and you)
We are ghosts
(A long long time ago)
(We could have made it)
We are ghosts
(A long long time...)
(Me and you)
(... ago)

 

Look at the time it's taken me
To get away from what was said
I'll never leave - I'll always love
You know that all those words are dead
Buried at yours tonight
Move aside I'm taking you home

 

On the radio she was that summer song
Packing them in
Making them dance
A law of her own
Taking the time to sing it
I don't need you but I'm lost
Lost without you tonight
Have you no heart?
Where are we?

 

Hold a love like ghosts
We are ghosts
(Then fold)

 

They taking down our satellite
We are ghosts
Josephine I follow your star tonight
We are ghosts
If not tonight then when will she say
We're not ghosts

2. Tripping

First they ignore you
Then laugh at you and hate you
Then they fight you - then you win
When the truth dies
Very bad things happen
They’re being heartless again

 

I know it’s coming
There’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much
As I’m willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
When a heart is broken
There’s nothing to break

 

(Chorus Backing Vocal:
Want you to love me
Want you to be
The heavens above me
Eternally)

 

You’ve been mixing
With some very heavy faces
The boys have done a bit of bird
They don’t kill their own
And they all love their mothers
But you’re out of your depth son
Have a word

 

I know it’s coming
There’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much
As I’m willing to take
Why do you think
We should suffer in silence
The heart is broken
There’s nothing to break

 

All is wonderful in past lives
Dreaming of the sun she warms
You should see me in the afterlife
Picking up the sons of dust

 

When you think we're lost
We're exploring
What you think is worthless
I'm adoring
You don’t want the truth
Truth is boring
I got this fever need to
Leave the house leave the car
Leave the bad men where they are
Leave a few shells in my gun
Stop me staring at the sun

 

I know it’s coming
There’s going to be violence
I’ve taken as much
As I’m willing to take
Why do you say
We should suffer in silence
My heart is broken
There’s nothing to break

3. Make Me Pure

Some will sing a song
To reel 'em in
It's a song I sung before
And a song I'm gonna sing again
I mean every word
I don't mean a single one of them
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

 

Tell a joke
Tell it twice
If noone else is laughing then why am i
I split my sides both times and laugh till i cry
Oh Lord, please make me pure
- but not yet

 

I don't have to try
I just dial it in
I've never found a job that for me was worth bothering
I got a ton of selfish genes and lazy bones
beneath this skin
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

 

Smoking kills
Sex sells
I've got one hand in my pocket but the other one looks cool as hell
I know I'm gonna die so my revenge is living well
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

 

I stopped praying
So I hope this song will do
I wrote it all for you
I'm not perfect but you don't mind that, do you?
I know you're there to pull me through, aren't you?

 

So I look for love
I like the search
And I'll be standing for election all across the known universe
Every president gets the country she deserves
Oh Lord, make me pure
- but not yet

 

And I've been seeing
Somebody's wife
She said she'd leave him for me and I said that wasn't wise
You can't lie to a liar because of all the lies
Oh Lord, please make me pure
- not yet

4. Spread Your Wings

I used to live 'round here
I was the boy with the flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
I saw her at The Place
You know she knows you know
How she shakes
When she jacks her body
To the sounds of Orange Juice Jones
and Jocelyn Brown

 

Oh, spread your wings
Before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is, darlin'
Follow your heart

 

So she walks into this dead end bar
Sticks her hand bag
On the chair
So she walks into this dead end bar
Puts hers hand bag
On the chair
And she weighs
The words we shared
When we were 15 and still cared
Cos she feels I'm a scar from the wound that time can't heal
And I said
Don't let your dreams fall out of your head
Stick it to the man instead
Don't fool your heart
Lying about the fears that you had back then

 

Did you try to change your life
Did you ever try to change your life
You repeat and repeat and repeat
Now what's up with that?

 

Now she loves somebody else
In flash clothes
She was the girl with the acid stare
And now she paid to have
One of those

 

And she weighs the word she says
And she knows
You exist
Now she feels I'm the scar from the wound that time can't heal

 

Oh, spread your wings
Before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is, darlin'
Follow your heart

 

Spread your wings
Before they fall apart
Home is where the hurt is, darlin'
Follow your heart

 

Heart, heart, heart

5. Advertising Space

There's no earthly way of knowing
What was in you heart
When it stopped going
The whole world shook
A storm was blowing through you
Waiting for God to stop this
And up to your neck in darkness
Everyone around you was corrupted
Say something

 

There's no dignity in death
To sell the world your last breath
We're still fighting over everything you left

 

(CHOURUS)
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

 

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space

 

Through your eyes the world was burning
Please be gentle I'm still learning
You seemed to say as you kept turning up
They poisoned you with compromise
At what point did you realise
That everybody loves your life but you

 

A special agent for the man
Through Watergate and Vietnam
No one really gave a damn
Do you think the CIA did

 

(CHOURUS)
I saw you standing at the gates
When Marlon Brando passed away
You had that look upon your face
Advertising space

 

No one learned from your mistakes
We let our prophets go to waste
All that's left in any case
Is advertising space
I've seen your daughter man she's cute
I was scared but I wanted to
Boy she looks a lot like you

6. Please Don't Die

Let me lie down
Please dont wake me
Nothings sacred
And noone save me

 

In my black eye
I can feel it
Moving
Closer
Cant you hear it

 

Only gift you gave to me
Self forfilling prophecy
Here to change the sounds that shaped my life

 

And if you die before i leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around theres noone here
To love me and hold me

 

Take me
Dancing
I love music
Keep on
Singing
We wont loose it

 

Bet ya
Leaving
Missing noone
If your hearts run free
Why cant we go on

 

Go on to till they kick us out
We've everything to talk about
I could bring a song into your life

 

If you should die before i leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around theres noone here
To love me and hold me

 

Maybe I been away to long
I know i'm not always right, but is that wrong?
They say there is nothing i can do
But to talk to strangers and wait for you

 

If you should die before i leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around theres noone here
To love me and hold me

 

And if you die before I leave
What on earth becomes of me
Look around theres noone here
Lo love me and hold me

 

oooh ooh ooh!

7. Your Gay Friend

Hey, hey! here comes no one
Another friend to have a go on
And she ask me do I miss her when she's gone
And I reply as much as I miss anyone

 

a woohoo!
And I'll be your gay friend
Cuz your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us

 

So jump into my bed
And pretend the world is dead
Always in my head is a face between us

 

Hey Lord, forgive us if we're wrong
Make sure that he never hears this song
And she says that I'm the opposite of a Hallmark card
She asked me how I'm feeling
When I don't wanna think that hard

 

a woohoo!
And I'll be your gay friend
Cuz your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us

 

Jump into my bed
And pretend the world is dead
And always in my head is a face between us

 

It's the late show now
When does the late show end?
When God is in the details
Forget to show my friend
I have a friend again
You're my friend again
My gay friend

 

a Woohoo! Erhh!
So jump into my bed
And pretend the world is dead
Always in my head is a face between us

 

And I'll be your gay friend
As your marriage never ends
Till we fuck and fight again
There's a space between us

 

a Woohoo!

8. Sin Sin Sin

Don't let your eyes tell the brain
You should feel ashamed
Everyone needs it baby
And I feel the same
Didn't quite catch your name
Hush, hush, hush
Don't say a thing
Let's see what the night will bring
It might be everything

 

Oh it hurts
When you're too blind to see
Please don't read my mind
I tell the truth to me

 

Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

 

Hush hush hush
To speak is a sin
And neither of us
Need rescuing
Just relax
It's what Jesus would do
We're made in his image baby
Let's ride this thing through

 

Oh it hurts
When you're to blind to see
What about us
Well it was just for me

 

Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

 

I won't sing of amore
It don't sound sincere
Love is a cliche
But if its not here
I'll disappear

 

Sin sin sin
Look where we've been
And where we are tonight
Hate the sin not the sinner
I'm just after a glimmer
Of love and light
Deep inside

 

Deep inside

 

It's love
Clean sex toy
I love you
You love my
Hate how it it feels inside
Feels inside
Feels inside

9. Random Acts Of Kindness

For those about to die we salute you
For those about to cry we love you
For those of us who live in fear
Of Happy Christmas and New Year
I raise a toast to you

 

And if it hurts to be so blind
Why don't you try being kind

 

They've decided to become a
Little more proactive
Creep upon you while you sleep
And make you less attractive

 

Born without a spine
Why don't you try being kind

 

For those drinking at their mother's wake
You'll find a way to soldier on
For those whose love evaporates
I pray you'll find where you belong

 

Oh the words I have repressed
Are coming out today I guess
It's justice not respect I'm after
And that just leaves comtempt
For you all

 

I am just a simple man
With simple expectations
With deep regrets they're seldom met
God speed my generation

 

And with Crowly on my mind
I should try being kind

 

For those about to die we solute you
For those about to cry we love you

 

For those about to die we solute you
For those about to cry we love you

10. The Trouble With Me

You see the trouble with me
I got a head full of fuck
I'm a basket case
I dont think I can love, love, love

 

You see the trouble with you
Is your in love with me
What a strange thing to do
What a brave place to be

 

So we dive
On sunset strip
Our hearts so deep
I drown in it
And as it breaks
I swim through cracks
And leave with words
I can't take back

 

You see the trouble with me
Monkey see monkey do
There's no u in tomorrow
A better offer came through
You see the trouble with you
There's no trouble with you
So when you say that you love me
That stops me loving you

 

So she stays
On sunset strip
Our hearts so full
I drown in it
She's waiting for
My words to break
The one true love
I couldn't make

 

So she walks
That golden mile
Men will try
And catch her eye
We both know
What could have been
On sunset strip
Our broken dream
