Lyrics

well the working day is getting closer     and you, you’re still unsatisfied     you turn around still feeling nothing     still craving for that something you don’t have. it seems your unconfessed desires     conspire to poison your icy blood up     now you still lack a formal identity     and have no commercial sex appeal. just before your new ambitions     could engulf you in pain and lies     so many answers will be heard     no need to conjure your brains up     so close to heaven     so close to eternal life     just another short commercial     before giving up.

Extras

Alternative version, recorded in 2005. With Georgia Seddon (drums), John Gregson (guitar), Peter Morris (bass), Simon Mas (voice, guitar).

Lyrics

they look so good     they must feel well     i’m not so sure i can say the same:     a bit too fat     not enough hair     they look so good     i am a mess. the gods are here     they just look swell     they’re never old     they don’t even sweat     i’m not as cool,     i was born old     what can i do to be like them? i try to smoke     to lose some weight     buy some new clothes     to look like them     i try to think     to find some way     my mind just aches,     my mind is dead. not hip enough     i just feel shame     it doesn’t work     the pain’s still here.     i cannot live and feel this way     i cannot live!     oh, what a waste! hey, doctor, listen here     i don’t seem to be able to face my own life     come on now, i need some pills     to help me keep my breath and stop my sighs     they are looking at me     from magazine covers and TV screens     doc, i really need some pills     to overcome confusion and be free! now i feel new     i smile again     feeling complete at day break     i have my pills     i couldn’t care less     i have my pills     my pills are sex! i am a god!     i am the best!     now i feel goo, don’t feel regret     here i stand tall,     here i attest:     my pills are life     my pills are great!

Lyrics

i feel i’m losing strength     my body couldn’t stand without a helping hand     i’m stuck half conscious where i lay. i’m losing faith these days     reality seems strained and lost into a dream     that seems so very far away. stop your worrying voice from striking me with poison darts     can we talk about it later?     now i need you to come rushing back. i’m losing touch with myself     my body feels like slipping into a distance     whence there’s no coming back. stop your whispering voice from lecturing me about my idleness     can’t you see i’m not myself?     i really need you to come rushing back, and tend to me     no matter what the hell you think i’ve done     tend to me     i might look safe but i’m not whole nor in control     tend to me     i’m missing any reason not to let things go     tend to me     i need your healing cares     now!

Lyrics

it ain’t been easy     but i’m here once again     hitting the outside world     with the fools and the girls     that alleviate my pain today     a placebo gone astray.      it ain’t been easy     but i’m trying hard again     crawling out in vain     just to feel cold and restrained     my smiles, my lies, my carelessness. yes, i’m bleeding from my mouth     and my head is a big mess     i claim that i’m alright     but my words are meaningless. i have lost my faith     i have lost my place in here     there’s no sign on my face of the life i’ve thrown away     of the chances that i had. yes, i’m bleeding from my mouth     and my head is a big mess     well, i claim i am alright     but my words are meaningless. i fake it like i’m used with everything     to convince myself it’s all good:     these unfulfilled desires, this emptiness,     perhaps they will go away. it ain’t been easy     but i’m here once again     hitting the outside world     with the fools and the girls     that alleviate my pain today     a placebo gone astray.

Lyrics

soon     the time has almost come     to be free from straining stress and lingering glum     i will go home     i’m gonna leave no trace behind. very soon     recovering and feeling swell     snow will fall and bleach the darkness with its smell     my eyes will turn black     i will breathe in and sleep. let me see, let me see,     i know i recognize your smiling face     let me close, let me near     enjoy the quiet warmth of your grace     let our bliss bloom like pink cherry blossom in the spring     feel the greatness of it all     and let our laughter ring once more. soon     the time has almost come     to return and find again the things i thought lost     the rain will fall     i’ll leave and never stop dreaming again.
