I CAN ONLY DISAPPOINT U EP


I CAN ONLY DISAPPOINT U (Single Version)

I travelled from Dublin
U said you'd change the world
U sing like Sinatra, always

You've pulled 'em 4 miles now
Like Garbo in Berlin
U played 'em 4 zeros, just like always

Tonight, their hips would swivel and turn
And tonight, it feels so good feeling cheap

I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down

You turned a man cuckoo
Half animal, half grace
The chick was a teaser, always

Tonight, their hips would swivel and turn
So we drove 2 the place where we first met

I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U, always

The Queens, they all loved U
The tall, the short, the fair
(la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la)
The sailors, the psychos, always

And here, I faltered, gun in my hand
And U, with "piggies" scrawled on your wall

And tonight, her note said "Better off dead"
And the Earth has never moved for me since

I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U, always

I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down
I can only disappoint U
Cos I always let U down

Cos I always let U down
Cos I always let U down

Cos I always let U down

Cos I always let U down
(I always let U down)
Cos I always let U down
I always let U down


MY IDEA OF FUN

Day one
concentrate my energy
My victim's loser personality
Explain what it is that turns me on
Keep a wall to strip my little piggies on
Keeping control while indulging in duality

This is my idea of fun,
I hope I'm not the only one
I'm having fun here,
I hope I'm not the only one

Day two
I wake up in another bed
Next to a member of the cabinet
Day three
I pinned a note against his head
This death of a filthy fucking hypocrit
Keeping control while indulging in banality

This is my idea of fun
I hope I'm not the only one
I'm having fun here
I hope I'm not the only one
This is my idea of fun
I hope I'm not the only one
I'm having fun here
I hope I'm not the only one

Day four
why'd you keep seducing me
Brainwashed from masculine deficiency
Day five
injecting supermarket food
No pain
it hurts who knows
you never knew
Playing it cool
breaking every single wrong taboo

This is my idea of fun
I hope I'm not the only one
I'm having fun here
I hope I'm not the only one
This is my idea of fun
I hope I'm not the only one
I'm having fun here
I hope I'm not the only one

Day six
I travel on the underground
Freak out
your mind will lie in Chinatown
Mayhem
from Broxbourne to the Irish Sea
Aloud
the answer's welled with empathy
Keeping control while indulging in duality

This is my idea of fun
I hope I'm not the only one
I'm having fun here
I hope I'm not the only one
This is my idea of fun
I hope I'm not the only one
I'm having fun here
I hope I'm not the only one


GOLDEN STONE

Nothing is here for me
Just the music on the inside
Meaning nothing to the outside
Looking blankly at me
No need for words at all
When I fell apart in pieces
Helped to cover up my weakness
Does it seem like I care

We're golden
A symmetry that brings us close
Can't you see we're golden
It's only us that see it
We're golden
Telepathy that bonds us close
Can't you see we're golden
Or do I have to spell it

People can be so cruel
I remember feeling lonely
Feeling ridiculed and ugly
For the way that I am
Look after number one
If you don't then no-one else will
Always busy with their own things
At least you know that you care

We're golden
A symmetry that brings us close
Can't you see we're golden
It's only us that see it
We're golden
Telepathy that bonds us close
Can't you see we're golden
Or do I have to spell it
Oh we're golden
A symmetry that brings us close
Can't you see we're golden
It's only us that see it
Oh we're golden
Telepathy that bonds us close
Can't you see we're golden
Or do I have to spell it


DECISIONS DECISIONS

These monkey faces
are laughing at me
Easy
one of life's rejections anyway
yeah
I wanted to be beautiful
My big decisions
are going the flow
Easy
we were always losers anyway
yeah
Sitting on the fence again

All my big decisions
always ruin my life
Gets harder with time
All my big decisions
make me act like a child
Decisions decisions
all the time

Not content to be
one of life's spectators
I gravitate to all those
stiffs and geeks
yeah
Life is entertaining me
Hurting strangers was easy
My weakness
my electric man
is taking over me
yeah
I just brought him out again

All my big decisions
always ruin my life
Gets harder with time
All my big decisions
make me act like a child
Decisions decisions
all the time

I want you to stay
I want you to go
I can't make up my mind
It's driving me mad
I'm going the flow
I can't even decide

All my big decisions
always ruin my life
Gets harder with time
All my big decisions
make me act like a child
Decisions decisions
all the time
I want you to stay
I want you to go
I can't make up my mind
It's driving me mad
I'm going the flow
I can't even decide
No, no, no, no yeah...
I want you to stay
I want you to go
Yeah, no, oh, yeah, oh
It's driving me mad
I'm going the flow
Oh, yeah, ow...


REPAIR MAN

Call the repairman
and he'll sort you out
with his bag of tricks
(bag of tricks)
I am repair man
won't you take a bow
come on give me space
tell me which part aches
He said
my stress has been remembered
from disinfected mess
swirling 'round my head
I asked him frankly
what it means, this life
'cos its such a drag
and these words he said
You should call the repair man
that's me
here

Call the repair man
set me free
Help him to help me off my knees
Whenever it gets that life's too much
Call the repair man
set me...

He took me up
in his removal van
and the lights went out
(lights went out)
He said
you'll feel much better
when I take you back
'cos I work my tricks
and my magic sticks
You should call the repair man
that's me
here

Call the repair man
set me free
Help him to help me off my knees
Whenever it gets that life's too much
Call the repair man
set me free
Free
Free
Free

I said I'll thank you
and I'll pay you back
and my life was his
and he disappeared
Just call me anytime
day or night
and the safety bag
if your life turns bad
You should call the repair man
that's me
here

Call the repair man
set me free
Help him to help me off my knees
Whenever it gets that life's too much
Call the repair man
set me free
Free
Free
Free
Free
Free
