‘Pressure Man’ Lyrics

Take the hammer
Smash the glass
Take the glass
Cut the mother earth
Opens up
And sucks you down
It sucks your sorry arse into the ground

Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
Are you predator or prey
Will you suffer my reality
Are you pressure man or prey
Do you suffer through the gravity
Are you pressure man or prey

Well go and get me another
Make my day
And will flower crosses wash it all away
And follow the lines and the arrows
To find your way
And will sweeping bands all take you pain away

Sometimes when you come for me
I will run away

‘Communicate’ Lyrics

These other worlds are uncharted
More than a little downhearted
It’s an open invitation
To this diamond gold imitation but

Everything is going to be alright
Cos we communicate
Without any style
I hope it’s not to late
To sit and talk for a while
Come out of your cage
And talk to the stars

Another standing ovation
Another dodgy location
It’s a gold fish situation
I’m just staring out at the world

Everything is going to be alright
Cos we communicate
Without any style
I hope it’s not to late
To sit and talk for a while
Come out of your cage
And talk to the stars

Everything is going to be alright
Cos we communicate
Without any style
I hope it’s not to late
To sit and talk for a while
Come out of your cage
And talk to the stars

‘Beautiful Feeling’ Lyrics

Beautiful Feeling

‘The Fear’ Lyrics

Dont play the tortured artist with me
Or you can pack up all your bags and then leave
Yeah you know what im saying
Im praying for you to take heed

Its like your mother was drunk all the time
And your brother turned to a life of crime
Yeah you fear hes lost direction
You fear hes finally lost his way

But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls, Yeah

Dont play the tortured artist with me
‘Cos its not all about you, and what about me
You can save your breath son
‘Cos Inever said that iwas gonna leave you

It’s like your father he never came home
And your sister spent her life on the phone
And all the other kids used to give you shit all the time

But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
But look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls

Maybe I dive for treasure
Maybe I steer the world
Or maybe I just gonna live in the hills
Maybe I found my pleasure
With some far off eastern girl
Or maybe i’ll still be living in the hills

Dont play the tortured artist with me
Dont play the tortured artist with me
Its a fear of losing direction
Its a fear you’ve lost your way
Its a fear of losing face
And that someone can replace you
Its a fear of losing direction
Its a fear you’ve lost your way
Its a fear of losing face
And that someone can replace you

Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls

Just look out at the world

Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls
Look out on the bright side
Look out to the world
Look at all the boys and the girls

‘Venus’ Lyrics

Come my little venus
Can’t you feel, it’s in all of us
Like the light, we see you soon give up yourself
And dive into the moon
And I don’t mind being with you
Knowing I’m by myself
There’s a river in all of us that’s dry
As you are in me
There’s a river in all of us that’s dry
As you are in me

Come my little venus
Wrapped in shadows, yeah you’re one of us
And I hear the footsteps inside your head
Walking, trying to find yourself
I found myself in you
Let me in, let me breathe
Yeah I found myself in you
Oh yeah

So come my little venus
Come my little venus
Come my little venus
Come my little venus

You scream in silence
But I can hear you

Well come my little venus
Can’t you feel, it’s in all of us
Like the light, we see you soon give up ourselves
And dive into your room
And dive into your room

And come my little venus
Come my little venus
Come my little venus
Come my little venus
And come my little venus
Come my little venus

Come my little venus
Can’t you feel, can’t you feel
Now you’re one of us
Like the light, we’ll see you soon give up ourselves
And dive into your room
And I don’t mind, I don’t mind

Come my little venus, venus, venus
Come my little, oh my venus
My venus, my venus, my venus, my venus, my venus
And come my little venus.

‘As Good As It Gets’ Lyrics

Savage at heart
Escape for a day you won’t go back
I should have seen from the start
There’d be more heartache than pain

I’m watching the wind blow
I’m watching the rain
I’m watching this love grow
No more heartache or pain

Cos this is real
This is real
This is real
This is as good as it gets
This is as good as it gets

I’m staying for a party
And I’m staying for change
I’m feeling kinda naughty, and let’s say
Nothing has changed

I’m watching my love grow
I’m watching the kids go mad and I’m
I’m watching this whole thing from above

This is real
This is real
This is real
This is as good as it gets

Second time round I’ll make it better
Second time round I’ll make you stay
Second time round I’ll make it better, for you
My honeymoon child
My honeymoon child
My honeymoon child
My honeymoon child

Cos this is real
(My honeymoon child)
This is real
(My honeymoon child)
This is real
(My honeymoon child)
This is as good as it gets
This is as good as it gets

‘Fishing For Lisa’ Lyrics

I’m fishing for Lisa
Like a meeting in the water
Lost I should have known better now
I sit here trying to count my loss

I thought you were my reason to live

I’m trying to find my angel
You give me nothing
Get the same returned
I said it would be this hard
So if you want it
When are you going to learn

I thought you were my reason to live

When are you going to wake up
When are you going to want what’s in your face
When are you going to give up
Cos when you do I’m going to take your place

I thought you were my reason to live
I thought you were my reason to live

I’m fishing for Lisa
Like a meeting in the water
Lost I should have known better
Than a lecture at your daughters cost

I thought you were my reason to live

‘Larger Than Life’ Lyrics

This is good, this is great
And if I remember then its not late
This is love, this is hate
And I gotta feeling and I hope its not too late

This is good, less is more
This is a given and its not a reward
This is yours, whats yours is mine
So lets get with it, not waste our time

‘Cos your large than life
It’s how I remember you
The harder I try I cant forget you
The more I learn the less I know
If this is a feeling then Iwant it to grow
‘Cos your larger than life,
Its how I remember it
The harder I try I cant forget it
The harder I fall, you sit there laughing
Watch me come here
Watch me dancing on the floor.

Well if I am feared, then I will not need
I will love you without all my greed
But if you lie, you will be caught
This is a lesson I dont need to be taught
Larger than life
Greater the feeling
If you love me I will always be here
Its your life and you can choose
But this is a fight im not willing to lose.

‘Cos your large than life
It’s how I remember you
The harder I try I cant forget you
The more I learn the less I know
If this is a feeling then Iwant it to grow
‘Cos your larger than life,
Its how I remember it
The harder I try I cant forget it
The harder I fall, you sit there laughing
Watch me come here
Watch me dancing on the floor.

‘Cos your large than life
It’s how I remember you
The harder I try I cant forget you
The more I learn the less I know
If this is a feeling then Iwant it to grow
‘Cos your large than life
It’s how I remember you
The harder I try I cant forget you
The more I learn the less I know
And this is a feeling then Iwant it to grow

‘Cos your larger than life
Yeah your larger than life
Girl your larger than life
Your so much larger than life.

‘Trying To Get By’ Lyrics

Trying To Get By

‘Anniversary’ Lyrics

You see so nervous and so natural to me
As a major operator you know what to say
You suck me in then spit me out i don’t want [ to ] play
You made a promise, broke it on the same day

When you told me what you wanted and i wanted you
You said you needed help and i wanted to
But i couldn’t take this broken anniversary
I made the same mistake on the very same day
Same day

It was a good day, and a bad day
It was good friday, then the weekend
And if there’s anything worth saying
It’s bring on the weekend

It’s just a broken hearted ancient gentle memory
I remember perfect moments and i wish they’d stay
You cast aside a vision here to let me know
You dreamed a dream and then you had to let it go

When you told me what you wanted and i wanted you
You said you needed help and i wanted to
But i couldn’t take this broken anniversary
I made the same mistake on the very same day
Same day

It was a good day, and a bad day
It was good friday, then the weekend
And if there’s anything worth saying
It’s bring on the weekend

‘Astronaut’ Lyrics

I feel it closing out,
The tunnel’s getting smaller and I’m blacking out,
I’m spinning in a capsule world high out in space
I can see you down there
You’re as small as hell if it exists
But I don’t care,
I’m just floating out here,
I’m coming in,
I’m burning up,
I’m feeling fine I can’t get enough
I’m flaking out,
I’m never giving in,
My head is spinning

Sammy’s coming down,
He’s filling himself in again,
He’s getting high out in space,
He thinks he’s free again,
I’ve been waiting such a long time for this,
Where are we and what’s this place?

I’m coming in,
I’m burning up,
I’m feeling fine I can’t get enough
I’m flaking out,
I’m never giving in,
My head is spinning,
My head is spinning

Roses fall so I can’t catch the dust,
I squeeze the sand through your hands to match my cuts
Faking breathe easy,
Lure me in,
Man I got to get out,
I got to get out
I can’t take this scene anymore,

I’m coming in,
I’m burning up,
I’m feeling fine I can’t get enough
I’m flaking out,
I’m never giving in,
My head is spinning,
My head is spinning,

I’m alone out here,
I’m spinning over and over again.

‘Space Cadet’ Lyrics

Space Cadet oh spaceboy
You’re one in the same
Sandcastles or sandtoys
They’re all just games

And the sky was on fire
It was burning up there
Ohhhhhh
And the world was alive
He’s on top of that world
He’s on top of that world
Uh Huh

Face pretend or fame brains
They’re all hiding shame
Figurines or mayor reigns
They’re all to blame

And the sky was on fire
It was burning up there
Ohhhhhh
And the world was alive
He’s on top of that world
He’s on top of that world
Uh huh

‘Weapons Of War’ Lyrics

I stood alone on the porch looking over
The fields with my brandy hand
Sometimes I run
Sometimes I limp
Sometimes I’m just thinking of you

Got a little excited but that’s okay
Cos everybody’s looking for love
Got a little excited but that’s okay
Cos everybody’s looking for love

You want a little respect
Then you’re acting like a child on the introspect
Hiding on the wall side
On the dark side of the bed
You’re playing in wigs now
All dressed in gold
That’s no polish it’s the life I’m told
These are the weapons of the war

You’re laced in a candy shame
Do you have a handle on your pain
I am here to celebrate your life now
I am here to be your friend now
Yeah I am your friend

You want a little respect
Then you’re acting like a child on the introspect
Hiding on the wall side
On the dark side of the bed
You’re playing in wigs now
All dressed in gold
That’s no polish it’s the life I’m told
These are the weapons of the war

It’s the short skirt
It’s the long hair
It’s the long long legs you tell me you don’t care

You want a little respect
Then you’re acting like a child on the introspect
Hiding on the wall side
On the dark side of the bed
You’re playing in wigs now
All dressed in gold
That’s no polish it’s the life I’m told
These are the weapons of the war

‘Supersystem’ Lyrics

Make believe that it’s Sunday again
The whole world will have to wake up
And you feel like you’re coming to an end
And you don’t have to fake it

I can’t believe what you want me to hear
You don’t get it, you don’t get it
You think you know when it’s coming to an end
But I just don’t feel it

And it makes no sense, if I can’t get away
And it makes no difference, at least well not today
And I feel the same, as when we first ran away
And it makes no sense, if I can’t get away
Oh get away

With your radars and your supersystem
You think you’ll never get caught
With your lies and suffer sentence
It doesn’t matter if you get caught
Just pray you never get caught

I can’t believe what I want you to hear
I don’t get it, I don’t get
You think you know when I lie to your friends
You don’t get it, you don’t get it
