Wilderness (2008)

With your mauve
Pillow.
And your laddered tights
With your neat
Covers.
And your midnight
Eyes.

With your sisters in
The suburbs.
With your ballerina’s
Grace.

You smile and
I am blessed.
You laugh and
I am possessed.

You climb
The clouds caress.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.

With your grey
Denim.
And your hostile
life.
With your teeth
Missing.
And you mystic eyes.

With your tenderness
And trouble.
With your son
Against your breast.

You smile and
I am blessed.
You laugh and
I am possessed.

You climb
The clouds caress.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.

You smile and
I am blessed.
You lie and
I am dust.

And you ride
London’s wilderness.
Yes, I am blessed.
Yes, I am blessed.

Wilderness (2008)

As I sit and watch
The summertime,
And the shadow of
The cranes.
By the branches of
The cedar tree
And the beating of
The day.

You are the rose
Within my soul.
You are the reason
Why the wind blows.
By the meeting of
The roads
I will hold you
In my arms again.

And we'll sit under
The cedar tree
As the city
Fades away.
By the places
Where the blossom falls
And the shadow of
The cranes.

You are the rose
Within my soul,
You are the reason
Why the rain flows.
By the meeting of
The roads
I will hold you
In my arms again.

By the branches of
The cedar tree,
There's a bench
Beside the lake.
Take the bridge
Over the Serpentine,
And I'll see you
Once again.

Brett Anderson (2007)

Nothing ever goes right
Nothing really flows in my life
No one really cares if no one ever shares my care
People push by with fear in their eyes in my life

Love is dead, love is dead

The telephone rings, but no one ever thinks to speak to me
The traffic speeds by, but no one's ever stopped too late
Intelligent friends don't care in the end, believe me

Love is dead, love is dead

And plastic people with imaginary smiles
Exchanging secrets at the back of their minds
Plastic people
Plastic people

Nothing ever goes right
Nothing really flows in my life
No one really cares if this horror's inside my head

People push by with fear in their eyes in my life

Love is dead, love is dead
Love is dead, love is dead
Love is dead, love is dead

And all the lies that you've given us
And all the things things that you said

And all the lies that you've given us...
Blow like wind in my head

Brett Anderson (2007)

Wipe the winter from your pillow
Take the cups from the machine
Vapor trails in the clear blue sky
Spell your name in Japanese

One lazy morning when life is a breeze
One lazy morning am I gonna find Jesus in me?

Does he watch me when I'm sleeping
Like a psycho on the leads?
Does he hear what I am thinking?
Does he care what I believe?

One lazy morning when life is a breeze
One lazy morning am I gonna find Jesus in me?

Brett Anderson (2007)

Called you on your private number
Left a message on your mobile phone
Even tried the operator
When I call, no one's home
Trying just so hard to reach you
Try to keep this thing alive
You are the woman I need to speak to
Didn't you know there's a monster inside

Brett Anderson (2007)

Now my body is sand and the wind blows through me
Like the soil on your hand I am compost and leaves

The Sun Is Often Out (1996)

All the songs that I've sung you
More often than you know
You're the love that I've clung to
More often than I've let it show.

The Sun Is Often Out (1996)

She sold herself on the one love
The one that most of us live without
And dressed for the occasion day after day
Forgives herself when it don't come

Moble Home (1999)

I lied i love you
The screw that nailed the final whore it comes
As simple as a t.v. plot but not
Before they killed the villain off

I lied i love you
I’m buying everything i’m sold and taught
Like angels dipping into sin and love

‘Cause you’re the queen and i’m the king

Dark is the moonlight
That hands around your eyes
I see your light
I need your light to keep me blinded
I don’t

care what’s going on

I lied i love you
To start the party with a bang but
It’s exploded in my about face of yours

The cup

of love you must have laced tighter with your heart strings
And how the cliché stings

I see your light
I need your light to keep me blinded
I don’t care what’s going on

How can i be sure how can i be sure
How can i be sure how can i be sure
Love the only war
Love the only law
Keep me seeing red
Make me understand
I couldn’t put it down
Burns your greedy hands

Burn my eyes out
So keep me blinded
I don’t care what’s going on

The screw that nailed final whore

Moble Home (1999)

Don’t strike hard
At my door
Don’t strike hard
Anymore
 

It’s taken you nothing
To wash it clean
Away
It’s taken you nothing
To beat us
 
So don’t
Strike out
Of control
 
Are you minding your business
Or is it all you care about
 
Every minute that you go
I hope you never know
Like a razor in the snow
 
In your eyes
Is a dead and blue
Little never is it minding it’s business
Or is it all you care about
 
Every minute that you go
(Always my secret)
I hope you never know
(Jump from it always)
Like a razor in the snow
(Always my secret)
I hope you never know
(Jump from it always)

Moble Home (1999)

Complete me
Fill my hole
‘Cause i’ve offered you the part on parole
Complete me
Don’t let go
‘Cause i’m clinging to the mast it’s your boat

Moble Home (1999)

Today the sun
Breathed beautiful
Treated us like beauty fools
Tools in it’s hand
To succor the fat cow

Hello, Control (2006) 

I was you standing all alone across the crowded room.
I didn't think that I would see you soon and you, you don't move.
You wear your whole life there in circles underneath your eyes.

All I need to know is how to read between the lines,
but you somehow hide it all.

I watched you spill your drink and laugh you're such a drama queen.
You always look so good when you wear black and green,
but you, you're not fooling anyone.

It was crowded but I knew that you were close.
I don't think I like this little game of cat and mouse,
but you, you don't show.
It was almost 3 o'clock when you walked up to me.

I started to but found that I just could not speak,
but you, you looked so prepared.

You said something and I didn't know what it was.
I watched your lips move but your voice wasn't loud enough.
So I just smiled and nodded that's when you decided to just walk, walk away.

I got this overwhelming feeling like there's something wrong.
Maybe it's the lighting or this same old song, but it's just all in my mind.
I watched you walk across the room and then you disappeared.
I lost you in the crowd beneath the chandelier, and they, they don't care.

You were on the terrace in the rain.
I asked you if you would come back in, but you just sighed.
I could tell that you were crying
by the way the mascara ran down your face in such tragic lines.

You said something and I didn't know what it was.
I think that you sounded like you were a little drunk.
So I looked over your shoulder that's when you said
I told you so and just walked, walked away.

Ran down your face

You said something and I didn't know what it was.
Something about how you tried but you're giving up.
So I leaned in for a kiss that's when you said
I can't do this and just walked, walked away.
