SINGLE: MONSTERS

SONG: MONSTERS (Single Version)

I was hanging upside down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the program and I couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse
And I don't want to slide into apathy
And I don't want to die in captivity
But these monsters follow me around
Hunting me down
Try to wipe me out

Wipe me out
Wipe me out
Wipe me out

Yeah I was hiding away under water
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
So I could excuse myself from human kind
'Cos I don't want to be a container
Or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer
But these monsters spin me around
Get me down
Just try and shut me out

Shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out

Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head (Believe in me, believe in me, believe)

I was hiding away under water (Shut me out)
Waiting for distance, waiting for time (Shut me out)
And I don't want to slide into apathy (Shut me out)
And I don't
and I don't want to live in captivity (Shut me out)
Shut me out (wooh...)
Shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out


SONG: HAWAIIAN ROBOTS

I could barely recognise myself sitting there
The question
I was trying to guess my name and my favourite colour
But your guess is as good as mine
We had an idea
A brilliant idea
Watch the florescent light
But the light here is good
And I can taste the food
And I'm better off
I'm better off

I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii
I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii
I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii
I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii

I, I
I could barely recognise myself sitting there
Like a patient
I was trying to work out who was you and who was me
And how this happened
I've got an idea
a brilliant idea
Hiding in my thoughts somewhere.
But I'll be writing in the sand with a battery in my hands
To keep it going
And I'll be better off

ooh...

I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii
I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii
I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii
I'm better off as a robot
I'm better off in Hawaii

ooh...


SONG: THE ASTRONAUT (Live Acoustic)

Either side of a thin blue line
The collection of satellites
Singing circles
Singing words that don't mean anything
But they keep me in orbit
And they keep me sure

Ooh I can see you
Ooh on a clear night

High up in a window
You're an astronaut
You're amnesia, you're a joke
Fingertips against the windscreen
You're on your way
You're on your way
But you can't look at both sides of the coin at the same time
And you can't make up your mind

Ooh I can hear you
On a clear night
I can see you
Singing circles away

Yeah I'll blow you out of the sky
If you won't get yourself down here (get yourself down here)
Yeah I can hear you
On a clear night
I can see you
Singing circles away

...thankyou


SONG: SUBMARINE

I listen to you breath
Quiet winds that send you on your way
A way to a dream
Another time
A nothing time
Another day
I wish I could see
The oceans that your eyes will never know
I wish I could be
Somewhere in the undertow
And you in your sleep
Diving down to follow me
And you in a dream

You talk in your sleep
Quiet words that spin around my head
Surrounding me
Fading down the waking world and there
You know where I'll be
You know where I'll be
And you in your sleep
Diving down to follow me
And you in a dream
huh-hah
huh-hah

And you in your sleep
Diving down to follow me
And you in a dream
huh-hah
huh-ho
ooh-ooh
ooh-ooh


SONG: MONSTERS (Album Version)

I was hanging upside down from the overpass
Waiting to discover something about the world
I couldn't get with the program and I couldn't listen to them
It was like trying to think in reverse
And I don't want to slide into apathy
And I don't want to die in captivity
But these monsters follow me around
Hunting me down
Try to wipe me out

Wipe me out
Wipe me out
Wipe me out

Yeah I was hiding away under water
Waiting for distance and buying some time
Trying to be two hundred thousand years younger
So I could excuse myself from human kind
'Cos I don't want to be a container
Or a bastard with a ten page disclaimer
But these monsters spin me around
Get me down
Just try and shut me out

Shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out

Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head
Hold it in your head (Believe in me, believe in me, believe)

I was hiding away under water (Shut me out)
Waiting for distance, waiting for time (Shut me out)
And I don't want to slide into apathy (Shut me out)
And I don't
and I don't want to live in captivity (Shut me out)
Shut me out (wooh...)
Shut me out
Shut me out
Shut me out
