1: Planet Telex
You can force it but it will not come. You can taste it but it will not form. You can crush it but it's always here. You can crush it but it's always near Chasing you home Saying everything is broken Everyone is broken.
You can force it but it will stay stung. You can crush it as dry as a bone. You can walk it straight home from school. You can kiss it you can break all the rules But still everything is broken Everyone is broken Why can't you forget?

3: High and Dry
Two jumps in a week I bet you think that's pretty clever Don't you boy Flying on your motorcycle Watching all the ground beneath you drop You'd kill yourself for recognition Kill yourself to never ever stop You broke another mirror You're turning into something you are not
Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation You will be the one who cannot talk All your insides fall to pieces You just sit there wishing you could still make love They're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world All sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at you You will be the one Screaming out
Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry Don't leave me high Don't leave me dry
It's the best thing that you ever had The best thing that you ever had
4: Fake Plastic Trees
Her green plastic wateringcan for her fake chineserubberplant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself It wears her out It wears her out
She lives with a broken man A cracked POLYSTYRENEMAN Who just crumbles and burns He used to do surgery for girls in the eighties But GRAVITY always wins And it wears him out It wears him out
She looks like the real thing She tastes like the real thing My fake plastic love
But I can't help the feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run And it wears me out It wears me out
If I could be who you wanted all the time..

5: Bones
I don't wanna a be krippled kracked Shoulders wrists knees and back Ground to dust and ash Crawling on all fours When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones Now I can't climb the stairs Pieces missing everywhere Prozak painkillersss. When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones
And I used to fly like Peter Pan All the children flew when I touched their hands When you've got to feel it in your bones When you've got to feel it in your bones
6: Nice Dream
They love me like I was a brother They protect me Listen to me They dug me my very own garden Gave me sunshine Made me happy Nice dream Nice dream
I call up my friend the good angel But she's out with Her ansaphone She says that she would love to come help but The sea would Electrocute us all Nice dream Nice dream
If you think that you're strong enough If you think you belong enough
Nice dream

2: The Bends
Where do we go from here? The words are coming out all weird Where are you now when I need you? Alone on an aeroplane Falling asleep against the window pane My blood will THICKEN
I need to wash myself again to hide all the dirt and pain Cause I'd be scared that there's nothing underneath And who are my real friends? Have they all got the bends? Am I really sinking this low?
My baby's got the bends We don't have any real friends, no no no I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen And I wish it was the sixties I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish , I wish that something would happen..
Where do we go from here? The planet is a gunboat in a sea of fear and where are you They brought in the CIA The tanks and the whole marines to blow me away To blow me sky high
My baby's got the bends We don't have any real friends I'm just lying in a bar with my drip feed on Talking to my girlfriend waiting for something to happen And I wish it was the sixties I wish I could be happy I wish, I wish, I wish that something would happen
I want to live and breathe I want to be part of the human race
