Wolves

When we lost
I saw you cutting out the parts you don't want
I felt you stepping over lines that we'd drawn
Power from secrets, god I thought you'd know
I watched you guarding all your activism
Mistaking glory for conviction
We came to tell you that your war is not won
And that your cover is blown
Gone.
Wolves dressed as sheep dressed as wolves.
Run,
Demons spill out of the halls.
And had they not smelled the blood
We could have been safe by now
It's all gone
It's all gone
Una mattina, mi son svegliato
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
Una mattina, mi son svegliato
E ho trovato l'invasor.
O partigiano, porta mi via
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
O partigiano, porta mi via,
Che mi sento di morir.
I saw you cutting out the parts you don't want
I felt you stepping over lines that we'd drawn
When you were haunted by the thought that we'd lost
And all your secrets were nothing at all
I saw you cutting out the parts you don't want
I felt you stepping over lines that we'd drawn
When you were haunted by the thought that we'd lost
And all your secrets were nothing at all
So tell me how does that compare to all my love?
So tell me how does that compare to all my love?
So tell me how does that compare to all my love?
E se io muoio da partigiano,
O bella ciao, bella ciao, bella ciao ciao ciao
E se io muoio da partigiano,
Tu mi devi seppellir.

Thrones

My faggot eyes never saw my jester's outfit and their thrones
Socially earn my keep
Then it's drug, drug, drug, till we're on my own
Act like I'm enjoying it
You've got a soul like a dead cigarette
Kissy kiss, the walls have ears
As you drag, drag, drag my name through bushes
Living off the plan
Oh yeah you know what that is
I'm too sick to stand
Oh god, you've seen what that is
Goes up like cream, does it
Not burn a teensy bit
You say mirror mirror, I got sick
Until it hisses back "you look good with it"
He said sweetie
All the bad things happen to me
And by proxy
They'll come to haunt you baby
Living off the plan
Oh yeah you've seen what that is
I'm too sick to stand
Oh god, you know what that is
Lies lies lies lies lied to me
Lies lies lies lies lied to me
Everybody is now an enemy
Everyone in this town is history
You fucking liar
You liar, you lied to me
Lies lies lies lies lied to me, oh
I know now who to believe
You came just to fuck it up for me

Not My Comrades

So, evil by choice
If not by rights
But as I stay to the end
Hurt about now
It's ok but
Don't you have friends to impress?
It's about me
It's about you
Handing out change in the world
Get what I need
You get what you want
All of these people are dead
You got me chatting to the vultures
I better wait til the end
Compared to living with the butchers
I'l be more safe with the hens
(Hey it's OK)
No, I don't wanna be there
When you come down
I don't have much you deserve
Didn't it work
Just like a bad dream
it's not a shame you're unsure
It's not the drugs
You're not my friend
I'll not be told it's a fail
Get what I need
You get what you want
And all these people are dead
You got me chatting to the vultures
I better wait til the end
Compared to living with the butchers
I'll be more safe with the hens

Local DJ (for Mark)

We hated all the records that they played
But we went, and we danced anyway
But if we couldn't say it in the club
We're never gonna say it now, because
The trust we used to have between us is gone.
And if we couldn't say it in the club
We're never gonna say it now, because
The trust we left at a protest somewhere is gone.
(What has been has gone)
Standpoint, queer perspective
(What has been has gone)
Vampire, so abjected
(What has been has gone)
Standpoint, queer perspective
(What has been has gone)
Vampire, so abjected
What has been has gone
It consumes me now
What has been has gone
It consumes me now
What has been has gone
It consumes me now
What has been has gone
It consumes me now
If we couldn't say it in the club
We're never gonna say it now, because
The trust we used to have so deep has gone
And if we couldn't say it in the club
We're never gonna say it now, because
The trust we clearly never even had, is gone

Bore Off

All aboard,
For the bullshit ride of yr life
@ me now
Sad about you cos I guessed all right
Get me drunk
Heard about you from yr friends all night
Man/machine
Sad about you cos I guessed all right
I'm so bored of public schoolboys
Counterculture woke communist ploys
You bought the way to control the noise
I'm so bored of public schoolboys
Yeah,
Warned about you by yr ex last night
Starry-eyed
Trusted you until she saw the light
Caught out there, summoning me
Turned you down & then I got told right
Crossed the line
Yr the one they're gonna blame all right
I'm so bored of public schoolboys
Counterculture woke communist ploys
You bought the way to control the noise
I'm so bored of public schoolboys
A kiss it tastes of enemy blood
Looks bad so you don't talk about it
Oh god, it reeks of enemy lies
Oh but, he's just a regular guy

Somewhere There's a Way

I'm not buying it, buying it
And I won't queue up just to try it
In this temporary town it's
Quite hard to keep a friendship
I walk the underpass & ring road
Still dreaming of that disco
Where all the uncool kids can go
& they get to do all the things that they love
& it's much better than a place to walk
& it's much better than a place to hide
& it's much better than another drink
& it's much better than a way to die
& if you want me I'll be yr friend
No matter how little time we spend
Just promise that we're both being real
& you'll never ask me how I feel
Didn't anybody tell you
Avoiding life'll kill you
& the job so abusive you die there each day
Is the sound of you being robbed?
Didn't anybody tell you
You were the most beautiful kid in the world?
Fast forward to the drinking
& you know you can never be told
(You're unhappier then)
Didn't anybody tell you
That all the things inside you
Are there to be enjoyed?
Discovered, but not destroyed?
Didn't anybody tell you
Yeah maybe, if you want to
You'll someday catch the eye of another whose heart is true?
That must be better than a place to walk
That must be better than a place to hide
That must be better than another drink
That must be better than a way to die
& if you want me I'm still yr boy
No matter how much of me you destroy
Just promise that we're both being real
& you'll never ask me how I feel
