Sketchead is coming to your party
Hes walking up your drive and hes swinging all his keys around
Sketchead, hes seen you with your top off
He already knows your boyfriend, retain your introductions

Under constant correction, a fraud, a fraud
Someones perception, trying not to bore

If youre the highest bidder, Im yours

And were not sure of the etiquette

One, two, three, four, five, six, seven!
Well, I wrote my number down

Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick

He looks as if he hasnt slept
His hair is purposely unkept
In many doorways, people wept
When you crafted your plan
Shadows underneath the eyes
And everywhere the bastard lies
My lack of proof is your disguise

But Sorry, mate and walk away
I could be wrong on this, y... |
She was marrying a matador and he was with the weather girl
A very clever girl who stood out amongst several ones
A terrible dilemma and forever hell regret the day

Smitten, but might no... |
Betwixt and between, the fantastic dream and the fear
Do you wonder where she is this afternoon?
And does it get on your nerves, make you slightly perturbed
That theres things that you dont know about her?
And even the places that shes never been with you
Seem awful empty without her
You cant look into those eyes

That rock nroll, eh? That rocknroll, it just wont go away. It might hibernate from time to time, and sink back into the swamp. I think the cyclical nature of the universe in which it exists demands it adheres to some of its rules.
But its always waiting there, just around the corner. Ready to make its way back through ... |

Show us your special move |
When you left the house this evening
You said youd be back in a little while
But Ive been waiting for such a long time
And this waiting is driving me wild
And while I wait, I think about you
Do you need me and Im not there?
Are you planning to be without me?
Do you have a new affair?

Up from the pastures of boredom
Out from the sea of discontent
They come in packs like hungry hounds
Up seekers of the dark enchantment
They haunt the boulevards and bars
They pray to wishing wells and stars
They ride the hurricane of hope
Not looking back, but on they go
Toward the distance and deceiving
And all the w... |

Just put your dukes up, John
Yeah, put your dukes up, John
You were preened and sanitised
Struck dumb by good advice
Your integrity was bruised
Your celebrity a ruse

Made way for new pretenders

Sank into their calculations and snorted on a stench
Of their arithmetic
Look for the boy who was hanging his head low
More trophies and ideas to follow their pretend
With a scowl in his pocket and a smile on his face
He followed with obedience and fell in the nettles
Afterwards those spiky whispers said he brought his... |
I got my eyes on you, youre everything that I see

We got thrown in a riot van
And the coppers kicked him in
And there was no way he could win

Diamonds are forever
They are all I need to please me
They can stimulate and tease me
They wont leave in the night

Strange, you changed like night and day
Just up and walked away
When he came along
Oh, how strange
Well, I guess that I was just your puppet
You held on a string
To think I thought you really loved me
But look what thoughts... |
Ladies, youre damn right, you cant read a mans mind

So I sip his drink as I hold his gaze
As we erupt into the ... |

Im going back to 505
If its a seven-hour flight or a forty-five-minute drive

Have you got colour in your cheeks?
Do you ever get that fear that you cant shift the type
That sticks around like summat in your teeth?
Are there some aces up your sleeve?
Have you no idea that youre in deep?
Ive dreamt about you nearly every night this week
How many secrets can you keep?
Cause theres this tune I foun... |
A song about a search for the Albert Hall
I thought I saw you in the Battleship
But it was only a look-a-like
She was nothing but a vision trick
Under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast
When I asked her if I could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the R... |
Im a puppet on a string
Tracy Island, time-traveling
Diamond cutter-shaped heartache

I go crazy cause here isnt where I wanna be
And satisfaction... |
He spoke a script
Dipped in the sort of talk to make you keep the gaze
Its all a trick
The slicked back slimy arms have got a war to wage
Hes got a laugh like a crackling wire
And he wants to put the bite marks on you
He wants to put the bite marks on you
And he twists my guts
As the only thing thats repelling as his i... |

Its gotta be now, innit?
Now, now
You got the lights on in the afternoon
An the nights are drawn out long
And youre kissin to cut through the gloom
With a cough drop coloured tongue
And you were sittin in the corner with the coats, all piled high
When I thought you might be mine
In a small world on an exceptionally rai... |
Trudging through the morning
The tramp with the trampoline under his arm
Shifts past your whiskers, so stark is the charm
But the barking alarm waits coiled til the corner is turned
And the bicycle wheels all struggle to move ’round
In your muddy mind, blatantly caked and
Unwilling to wind uncooperative time
So he sits... |
