1.	Alive 03:46	lyrics	buy track
This is my life It isn’t hard To make light By reaching for stars To be complete To join the dance To be a compromising victim of chance You’re not even alive Killing your time Closing your eyes There can’t be too much more to say Did it occur to you that Jennifer got lost on the way? This is my cross It holds my shoulders down And slows my pace It’s hard to get around But I’ll survive Make the grade Become a sad performing chimp to get laid You’re not even alive Killing your time Closing your eyes There can’t be too much more to say Did it occur to you that Jennifer got lost on the way? Can’t you believe There’s nothing at all? Did you misspell the writing on the wall? All that you gave just embellished the fall This is my war So where are you? And what’s your name? I forgot your name You’re not even alive Killing your time Closing your eyes There can’t be too much more to say Did it occur to you that Jennifer got lost on the way? Killing your time Closing your eyes There’s only one thing to confide Don’t you realise that Jennifer died? This is my life
2.	Out of My Head 03:29	lyrics	buy track
Trapped in a game, in a web, in a prison The story only comes alive when the floor falls away There is always a girl, there is always a vision And I can never remember what happened the next day It feels alright Another night flying by Another part of me just died Alright A real life is denied I'm out of my head I'll be striding the blast, I'll be one with the thunder Broken angels running on the air in a nuclear sky What's left of your mind is beginning to wonder Can I wire myself to the moon and survive? It feels alright Another star in your eye Another love affair goodnight Alright A real life is denied I'm out of my head, my head, my head I'm out of my head, my head, my head I'm out of my head, I'm out of my head, I'm out of my head Yeah, I'm out of my head Can you reach into your heart for me tonight? And write on the inside? It was worth it, every minute, every second, every time You're a drunk, but I love you I'm out of my head, my head, my head I'm out of my head, my head, my head I'm out of my head, I'm out of my head, I'm out of my head Yeah yeah, I'm out of my head
3.	All Fall Down 04:14	lyrics	buy track
All out of love, all out of vision Nursing my pride and my wine Scratching my skin All the embedded splinters From sharpening knives This fading beauty is a big, fat thorn in my side Will you tell me if I look alright? Where does it go? All out of time, all out of condition Searching for sunlight inside Hearts on our sleeves, blood on our armour Leaving our battles behind This fading beauty is a big, fat thorn in my side Will you help me say goodbye tonight? I'll watch you all fall down Diminish one by one I'll redirect the pain And I will blind the sun I'll watch you all fall down I'll watch you change your side Tomorrow is too late There will be blood tonight Walking the streets, watching the people Wishing I lived in their skin Centuries old, this competition Hating the skin that you're in This fading beauty is a big, fat thorn in my side Will you help me say goodbye tonight? I'll watch you all fall down Diminish one by one I'll redirect the pain And I will blind the sun I'll watch you all fall down I'll watch you change your side Tomorrow is too late There will be blood tonight This fading beauty is a big, fat thorn in my side It blocks the window shutting all the light from my life A star inside the eyes to waken the dead As evil takes a ride inside my head I'll watch you all fall down Diminish one by one I'll redirect the pain And I will blind the sun I'll watch you all fall down I'll watch you change your side Tomorrow is too late There will be blood tonight
4.	All the King’s Horses 05:58	lyrics	buy track
All the King's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put England together again And I'm not surprised There had to be sacrifice And all the King's horses and all the King's men Couldn't put my life together again And I'm not surprised There had to be sacrifice He looks a lot like me Where does he come from? Where does he go? Where does he come from? He looks a lot like me Did nobody see him fall? Did somebody see him fall? Did nobody see him pushed? 'Cause he looks a lot like me You remember what time it'll be When your parents finally fall asleep Will they hear you sneaking in? With the girl from the caravan Your Dad's reading Bill Bryson And thinks he knows about the world So he leaves the porch light on So he can see you sneaking in with the girl from the caravan I remember I remember those bulletproof years You'd cry hard and pain disappeared And all I'd see are the tears falling off from the ends of your hair And I'd relate to those screams that you made You'd shout out and then faint clean away And I'd forget about it I'd forget about it And I'd forget about you And all the King's horses And all the King's men And all I'd see are the tears falling off from the ends of your hair And all the King's horses And all the King's men He looks a lot like me
5.	Rocket to Earth 04:50	lyrics	buy track
The sound begins The beat of life We listened out for centuries, it's now arrived They came to us through sandy skies Surrounding our horizon with delight Time stands still when you've got nowhere to go (I bet you know, I bet you know just what I'm thinking) Now we had a taste, we gotta know Get out of this city, from under this curse I'm gonna build myself a rocket to the Earth We're leaving this nation, the place of our birth I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth We all stood tall, a billion souls All crazed in admiration for your Rock And Roll How came this from a world so cold? Blockades of light, guitars of solid gold? We heard all the sounds your planet made (It blew my mind) Like "Here I Go Again" and "Purple Haze" Get out of this city, from under this curse I'm gonna build myself a rocket to the Earth We're leaving this nation, the place of our birth I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth I don't mind if lights are bright at all Alright it's just fine, it's cool I don't care if lights are bright at all Alright it's just fine, it's cool I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth Wrap my eyes in bandages, oh baby this one's gonna hurt Get out of this city, from under this curse I'm gonna build myself a rocket to the Earth We're leaving this nation, the place of our birth I'm gonna build myself a rocket Nothing's gonna stop it I'm gonna build myself a goddamn rocket to Earth
