Bad Note For A Heart (Carter/Fits) Mr Livid's living in a red house So vivid it reflects on everybody else Keep your hat on, huh? Keep it on, it on, keep it on He's got dreams that keep running away on him He's got a head like an aching upper hemisphere And he can't keep it calm Yeah, it's quite a problem But it's just one more to join the hordes He keeps beneath Avoid the boy's cellar He's got a tune but he can only hum it in parts Wouldn't wanna share it with anyone He's got a bum note for a heart, bum note for a heart A bad note he thinks can float in harmony But it can't, yes he can't get it out on any release Always humming the wrong song It's quite a problem But it's just one more to join the hordes He keeps beneath Avoid the boy's cellar Keep it calm Yeah, keep it calm And don't go diving |

Missing Presumed Drowned (Carter/Fits) Talk about treason, that's some term you're using I say it's better called leaving Here comes the pastor of walking disaster, cursing and a-reeling Hull full of water and absolutely nothing on deck ta heaven on rent While only the sails fail The boat goes down Missing presumed drowned You got it hard you want it easy Blanks the least uneven of the shades for today But today won't go away no matter how many you cancel That'll never ever change Here comes the pastor of walking disaster, cursing and a-reeling Nothing left on deck (uh-huh) Reeling, nothing left on deck While only the sails fail The boat goes down Boat goes down Missing presumed drowned |

Melt Against Yourself (Carter/Fits) Am a stranger out in orbit Around a different world to me Ideally I would enter Bullets blazing I will drop down from the heavens With an arsenal and a message I'll arrive All my arms open force of hunger on my side I'll sway all resistance, melt Lower all walls and make it well You can't be content with now Your world is all mistaken and you're not s'posed to act Against yourself Against yourself Melt And the drawbridge is down I will walk it Not even dare to look down Just sway all resistance, melt Lower all walls and make it well You can't be content with now Your world is all mistaken and you're not s'posed to act Against yourself |

Headwind (Carter/Fits) Saw truth explode through false windows Caught and lifted the hood Caught and lifted like I never thought it would Killed the pretence and unmasked the fools And I'm seeing in full circle 360 degrees And find no need to fight these things crawling inside Like slaters on dead wood Nothing's forever so make sure it's good High as vertigo goes Funny how things come to a head Laughing at sick jokes - don't have to Saw truth explode through false windows It caught and lifted the hood And for once this headwind's wound the way it should |

Down In Splendour (Brough/Fits) Hey down in splendour, join the slide Standing on the seashore and the tide Comes rolling through your eyes You've got no place to go Comes rolling through your mind You've got no one to know Hey down in splendour, take a bow Blinded in the white light and the crowd Die slowly in your arms You're left to lie alone And save your face of changing colour And your smile of fading colour 'Cause you'll never find another Who will give you ever after And you shouldn't have to say goodbye And wonder if this way is how It's going to be... |

A.P.S. (Carter/Fits) Wide 'n 'scraper high Miles 'round, massive boulder Got to roll the whole thing over It's awful quiet No one nowhere, 'cept for you there Man in suit introduces some phonier high Some lonelier high Some phonier high You are the more than meets the eye The scenery is missing sky Not an awful pretty sight Weather here hardly holding Pretty awful sight unfolding Dry, but hardly fine No one nowhere, 'cept for you there Know no lonelier high No phonier high |

Quiet Come (Carter/Fits) The fall of quieter lies primed and just above Looks like it's wicked enough to fall with force But when does quiet come anymore, harder? Quiet come Cause you get Shown that you could be quite content to live it Never questioning anyone anything coming within it Yeah, pour your scorn, elsewhere here there's a limit Long days of ground in habit The wheels keep dragging My Gibson whispers nothing to me Those days I pine for silence, The fall of quiet just isn't loud enough Song, woman, winding outwards Just don't add up, when all is Deep, cold, hell and I mean trouble! When I'm intolerable, uncontrollable Inconsolable, I will try, I will try Anything possible to free the scheme of all these Long days of ground in habit The wheels keep dragging, my Gibson whispers nothings to me Those days are primed for silence, fall of quiet Won't come anymore, harder Quiet come |

Such A Daze (Brough/Fits) Well in diaries of days, the allusion of ways To a life that was never known Set you free And in the pages now torn Lived the lives of those spurned By the rage of a tortured heart You can't see In such a daze So don't slip away And all this talk about love and of things from above Leave you searching the distant waves For the sea Seems you're falling through clouds from a thousand miles high With no one to catch your fall They can't see In such a daze So don't slip away After all the memories burned Dead and buried ashes of your dreams |

Skin To Wear (Carter/Fits) And it seemed so clear Dark in the dawning I'll cut down your morning I'll put you right out of your misery and heartache Down to the flesh, stripped bare Have my skin to wear Sickness in the family, put down somewhere handy Watch out, the putting down, will fall on you for landing And it's a weight to bear Can you stand it there? So I'll take it alright? Erase it, put it by I'll put you right out of your misery and heartache And when the let downs jump out I'll cushion them for landing I'm gonna lay right here And stay right there, yeah Have my skin to wear I won't start complaining in case you hear I'll put you right out of your misery and heartache And when the let downs jump out I'll cushion them for landing I'm gonna lay right here And stay right there, yeah |

Hand In Mine (Brough/Fits) Will only the harms of unlove invite the cold And always stay and winter blows Drown in icy rivers So never wander too close to lonesome roads They'll never stay, and seems we know Drowned, then our eyes would revert Wake this hand in mine And so it goes Cold inside forever And winter blows Drown inside together When you place your hand in mine Hand in mine |

Roller Ride (Carter/Fits) We're going out so clean your teeth Prepare them for sinking Into a thrill beyond yer dreams See what it's like Put on a smile a mile long Twist it to size Finding a retreat much better than nothing Whadareya? scared, or something else? You'll lose yourself And go dizzy, up on a twisted roller ride It feels so brilliant I could crawl off to hide And when the ride is finally through You'll find laughing clowns on yer side Their empty eyes for seeing through Mouths open wide As if to say enough won't do Dizzy twisted roller ride It feels so brilliant I could crawl off and hide And the view from the ground makes me blind to the thrill of the ride |

Cast Stone (Carter/Fits) Yeah I changed my wine into water Had a miracle or four since I saw ya Some came on time Some took a while And some swear to God leaving can lead you places It's said all you need's some sign Well some just need time, some just need time Not a really silly way to go Someone else outside I wanna leave the light on Burn bright and never die till I'm gone Gonna let the tide and its sea wash me gently Caught in its swirl, yeah that's the way I wanna go! Then I'll go Wonder if I mind like I oughta Wonder if this sight's got distorted And I wonder if you wouldn't mind at all, although This time, it is for me, not you to know So in the prime improbability of conversation Yeah if we had the time I'd offer one line, one eight words wide: It was a really stupid way to go |
