Part 1

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
