Femin (Inside)

I am sensitive, I am cool
I read lots of books at school
I understand women
In touch with my feminine side
You can judge me, you could slap me
You can fuck me in the back seat
I don't care, I've got no standards
Wait to hear the media's angle
The day is dying, I am bored
The sun's gone down,
and I don't blame it for trying to liven up my day
But I can't be fucked
Hip hip hooray
x2.

The Walker

Here comes The Walker
Like anyone else:
drinks pints on Saturdays,
supports Millwall
But he's got a job with a group of his mates
And they compile lists of peoples' names
So it comes to Wednesday and he gets out of his car
And he goes up to his office,
and he opens the door
And he sits down again
and he decides what we all hear
The Walker is stupid
Stifling an opportunity
The Walker, he's working
But he gets the final say
The Walker, he never watches
Ears and eyes are shut on weekdays
The Walker gets the final say
Takes out a pen, he looks around
Does the crossword
"Argh, what's 12 down?"
His white skin, his black suit
He's the reason this song will never be heard
Because music is defined by Twitter numbers
and YouTube views, apparently
Over hunger, desire and creativity
The Walker is stupid
Stifling an opportunity
The Walker, he's working
But he gets the final say
The Walker, he never watches
Ears and eyes are shut on weekdays
The Walker gets the final say

Situations

Trying to understand you
while trying to understand myself?
It wasn't going to go well,
it wasn't going to go well
Trying to get along
while trying to wreck the soul?
It wasn't going to go well,
it wasn't going to go well
Sent a fax, it got rejected
Sent a fax and I expected
It wasn't going to go well,
it wasn't going to go well
Situations where I could be happy
Situations where I could be sad
Situations where I could be happy
Situations where I could be sad

Take Your Time

Take your time will you, please?
Think for a second how you must feel
What's so wrong with patience?
You can take forever
Listen to me will you, please?
Take a second and hear me speak
What's so wrong with patience?
You can take forever

Your Blue Tie
01:40

Here's a thing
You have a nice blue tie
A nice blue tie
So can I choke you with it?
Choke you.
Please can I show you
how to live your life?
Please let me choke you.
With your nice ...
Blue tie x7
Please show me how to live your life with a blue tie
I'm gonna choke you with your blue tie,
please? Please!
Gonna show you how to live a life without a blue tie
So I can choke you to death with it
Argh
Gonna show you how to live your life without a blue tie
Argh

Another front cover
another page: Turner
Long black hair and a pair of slim jeans
Might have a leather jacket and a pair of Vans
And strapped round his neck: an acoustic guitar
Listen to what he says and buy his album
(It's hip and happening x2)
And buy our sheets of paper too
We need jobs and something to do
Where is the challenge?
Fluffy as you like
It's an enormous piece and you're taking a bite
Because you're all nice and neatly packaged
And cleanly produced
You've cracked it
Practise makes perfect in an industry that pays,
especially if you're sexy with your bright white face
You've got your teeth done and combed your hair?
Here's someone to exploit that and further their career
Rolling Stone's writers, they're all into classics
And NME's whole mantra just gives into the nostalgic
It's been about half a decade since they wrote a fucking classic
But that won't stop 'em when it comes to rocking that shit
Where is the challenge?
Fluffy as you like
It's an enormous piece and you're taking a bite
Because you're all nice and neatly packaged
And cleanly produced
You've cracked it

Way Out
02:44
|
|

You get your pay check and you wander home
You don't feel so angry anymore
You've lost your budget and everything you own
You don't feel so angry anymore
You're not thinking about starting fires
You don't feel so angry anymore
Because you've been taught to close your eyes
You don't feel so angry anymore
I'm not alive, I'm just asleep
It's out of touch, inside of me
I'm not alive, I'm just asleep
It's out of touch, it's way out of me
What have I fucking become?
It's out of touch, inside of me
What have I fucking become?
It's out of touch
Analyse the subject - it's what it is
And you're not so happy anymore
And you've lost your home and you're on the floor
You're not so happy anymore
But you let it happen, yourself to blame
You're not so happy anymore
Falling over once again
You're not so happy anymore
I'm not alive, I'm just asleep
It's out of touch, inside of me
I'm not alive, I'm just asleep
It's out of touch, it's way out of me
What have I fucking become?
It's out of touch, inside of me
What have I fucking become?
It's out of touch
What have I fucking become? x8
It's out of touch
