(dedicated to whichever identikit pop idols are miming on TOTP this week)

I could sing a song of saccharine sweetness
I could sing a song of black hole emptiness
And I could clone my bones so I wouldn't have to be alone
Oh I could sing a song that kills my soul

I could sell my face to keep me warm
I could sell myself as brand new porn
And I could sing a song where everybody sings along
It'd still come along from the centre of a no-one

We'll be blown away, we'll be blown away just like dust
We'll be blown away, we'll be blown away just like dust

Satan's gonna eat you whole
Cos you had to sell your soul and all your friends
Born again with puppet strings,
Your mouth might move but someone else sings until the end.

When you're blown away, we'll be blown away just like dust
When you're blown away, when you're blown away follow us.

Just close your eyes
And let sleep take you down
I'll fly around
Making sure you're safe and sound
Demons crawl beneath your door at night
Those demons, they'll make your head their home

Black clouds gather over your head.
Those black clouds, they'll lift you up.

Lost all my time
Gave it to you to sharpen your lies.
Take careful aim,
Shoot me right between the eyes.
Silver, I offer you for your soul, child.
Just silver, and that'll make you mine.

Black clouds gather over your head.
Those black clouds, they'll lift you up and away.

Make up your mind its a matter of time
Before the walls come falling
For God's sake, please,
Get the Hell off your knees
Can't you hear me calling?
I'm calling out.

Bones, shake your bones, shake your bones right out.

(greetings from Hull)

A punctured lung from a shattered heart
Now I won't be heard.
A dried up tongue from cover ups
With brand new words.

Just say to yourself, just say to yourself
"It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright"

A skull crack sound on a Saturday night
Your family is broken.
Somewhere there in the back of my head
Are words that can't be spoken.

Just say to yourself, just say to yourself
"It's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright"

And how did I get lost among myself?
How come that I, I can't find anyone else?

CCTV watch over me
And keep me safe from harm
I hope your God will lift you up
And wrap you in his arms
So just say to yourself,
"Are you fooling yourself
It's gonna be alright?"

(For nine to fivers everywhere)

How many times
Must I rise without waking?
Drive without braking?
I forgot to learn
How to switch off the brain
And plug myself into the mains

So run like hell, save yourself
You might as well, there's nothing else.

Too late to quit
This building is sick
Find the exit quick
And file in, file out
Don't worry time-spiller
I'm Jack the Giant Killer

So run like hell, save yourself
You might as well, there's nothing else.

Don't you want to see what's out there?
It's a kingdom full of false heirs.
It's overflowing slowly
And it's coming up to drown me.

I see a butterfly held into position in a glass case
And I've seen your bleeding hands trying to break the walls into another place.
