In 1993 Madan and Johansson first met in a pub, with Sonya expressing her desire to sing in a band "I used to sing a lot as a child. I suppose I had a secret desire to sing",[2] They soon teamed up with bass guitarist Alex Keyser and drummer Andy Henderson, who had previously played with PJ Harvey's band. Guitarist Debbie Smith, formerly of Curve, came on board in 1994.[1] According to the Epic Records' website, the group came up with the name Echobelly from the notion of "being hungry for something". With Madan and Johansson serving as songwriters, they recorded their debut EP, Bellyache, on the independent Pandemonium label in late 1993.[1] The favourable response to Bellyache helped Echobelly secure a recording contract with Rhythm King, which was then part of Epic. Once on board the label, the group released the "I Can't Imagine the World Without Me" single in June 1994.[1] The group then recorded the album Everyone's Got One, which included the single "Insomniac" and reached number eight on the UK Albums Chart.[1] As their music received more airplay, Echobelly won admiration from other artists as well. Madonna expressed interest in putting them on her Maverick label, and R.E.M. requested the group as the opening act for their upcoming tour. The band returned to the studio in 1995 to create their next album, On, produced by Sean Slade and Paul Kolderie, who had also produced Hole and Radiohead. Madan's lyrics often ventured into the seamy side of life, such as the milieu of prostitution and homelessness addressed in the song "King of the Kerb". "I wanted to challenge myself as a lyricist on a different level on this album," Madan said in Rolling Stone. "I want people to tell me what they thought the lyrics are about. I'm not a politician. I'm not interested in changing everybody around me. I'm interested in myself." While many of the songs lamented the state of things, others on the On album celebrated the endless possibilities of the human spirit. In "Great Things", Madan sang "I want to do great things/I don't want to compromise/I want to know what love is/I want to know everything."[3] The album's mostly optimistic feel provides an intriguing contrast with its serious subject matter. As Pareles wrote, "Both music and lyrics examine the tension between order and liberty". Listeners in the UK responded favourably to the album, driving three singles from the release into the Top 30 of the UK Singles Chart.[1] Sales of the album rose to over 150,000 in the UK, nearly double that of Everyone's Got One. Health and legal problems interrupted the success of Echobelly in 1995 and 1996. Madan had a serious thyroid problem during her world tour that was potentially life-threatening, but was later cured. Bass guitarist James Harris joined after Keyser defected because of personal and artistic differences. The group also had disagreements with Rhythm King after the label moved to Arista. The band chose to stay with Epic. In 1996 Madan also ventured away from the group when she sang on a recording of the club band, Lithium. Smith left the band before the release of Lustra, which was issued in November 1997. A single from the album, "The World is Flat", was released in August of that year.[1] A four-year hiatus was brought to an end in 2001 when the band returned with the Digit EP and their fourth album, People Are Expensive, which were released on their own Fry Up label. Two further singles, "Tell Me Why" and "Kali Yuga" (a remixed version of the album track) followed. In 2004 Echobelly released a fifth album - again through their own Fry Up label, Gravity Pulls.

Everyone's got one Today tomorrow sometimes never Today I can't seem to find what i'm searching for, Oh well maybe tommorrow, I wait, devious thoughts, but no inspiration at all, I have shut down. Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls, Segregation someone to blame but the problems remain, When everyone falls. Somewhere looking for shelter I still can't find myself, I am alone, Aware is it my colour or culture who can tell, Should we be hated for ourselves, Where should we go. Generations lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls, Segregation someone to blame, but the problems remain, When everyone falls. Are you with me sometime or never, Are you with me sometime or never, Or never, never, never, Don't let me down. Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls, Segregation, someone to blame, but the problems remain, When everyone falls, Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls.

Let the fear dislocate, Lest we frown upon the female agressor, Makes no sense, goes against the gender, Let her anger curse the years of oppression, Blame the mother, sell the sister, Before she blows you away. Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone. In a lifetime full of changes, A woman's group is still a second-class convention, Look around who has the power, Am I a big mouth with a fix of paranoia, On your side, on your side, Not here for the ride. Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone. Oh oh a gun. Half the population, one percent of wealth, Half the population, one percent of wealth, Blame the mother sell the sister, Blame the mother, sell the sister, Oh before I blow you away. Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone. I can't imagine the world without me What I tell is a different story, What I have, I take, then give it all away, So if you'd like to come this way, Then help me climb the walls that stand before me. I wanna know, If this is just a game, Can anybody play, Can everybody win, Can you believe it, I may be lost, I may be blind, I may be cursing most of the time But it's half the fun, And in this world we spin and shout We want it all we want it now, They said "oh shut your mouth You don't know what you talk about". I wanna know, If this is just a game, Can anybody play, Can everybody win. Another show another scene, The city sleeps below you sing a lullaby, Another show another scene and, I can't imagine the world without me, I can't imagine the world without me, I can't imagine the world without me, Hey, I'm on a roll, i'm on a roll, la la la la. I'm on a roll la la la la, I'm on a roll la la la la, I'm on a roll la la la la, Me me me me me me me me me, Me me me me me me me me. Bellyache Impotence, the price of a dark affair, It's more than a bellyache, There's something alive in here. What do I, what do I care now that it's over, What do I care I, what do I care now that it's over. Splinters...shatter my one track mind I lie on a sea of nails and thorns Spitting out the same old line. Oh. what do I, what do I care now that it's over, What do I care I, what do I care now that it's over. Now you shoot me down, Serenade my ears my heart i'm falling falling, Echoing your sound. Winter's breath all fall down, Spin me out and spin me round, Enter darkness enter lies, oh no. What do I, what do I care now that it's over What do I care I what do I care now that it's over Now you shoot me down, serenade my ears my heart I'm falling, falling, echoing your sound. Taste of you Now the fire has gone away, I face you with a broken pen, And sympathy and gratitude, dissolve into disaray. I relied, undisguised, Followed all you'd say, Was your weakness momentary, You're devotion temporary. It's a question of taste, Like a slap in the face, Let the vain do what they do, Did you laugh at my innocence. Custom made but gone astray, Erase you with a pencilhead, I'm bulletproof now I hide, But somehow I was happy then, do you know, how lost, how lost, how lost, Was your weakness, momentary, Your devotion, temporary. It's a question of taste, like a slap in the face, It's a question of taste, let the vain do, What they do, did you laugh at my innocence. I don't want to live forever, I just want some... ohohohoh I don't want to live forever, I just want some...ohohohoh Insomniac I think you ought to know, I think we've lost control dear, Whatever turned you on, You put it up your nose dear, And though the feeling was sublime, I think we're running out of time, 'Cos when you found it, you'd fix it, Then lose it and then you'd go. Will you be long, will you be long dear, Will you be long, i'm waiting, No sleep at all, carry me home, No sleep at all, carry me home, Won't you take me there. I serenade the walls, Young people have it all dear And surely life is a gas, We never had it bad dear Oh was it pointless from the start Or did we cultivate the arts I swim in circles, in puddles, in trouble and then I go Will I be long, will I be long dear, Will I be strong, you're waiting No sleep at all, carry me home, No sleep at all, carry me home, Won't you take me here, I don't feel good inside, I don't feel good inside, My darling don't you cry, home, home. No sleep at all, carry me home, No sleep at all, carry me home, Won't you, won't you home home, won't you take me there, I'm ready home, home, won't you take me there, I'm willing home, home, won't you take me there, I want you home, home, won't you take me there. Call me names I say i've been meaning to move your way, I hope that no one will make fun of me, I go live in a new society, I wanna live in it, live in it, Wanna learn, wanna live, live wanna learn, Wanna live it it, live in it, oh i'm ready to learn. I don't know,is it the same for everyone, Maybe that i've done something wrong, Why do they call me names. Outside, will you come out and play with me, I've been scrubbing at my skin you see, But the colour still remains on me, I wanna be the same, be the same, Wanna be, wanna be the same as you, Wanna be the same, be the same, Oh i'm ready to go. I don't know, is it the same for everyone, Maybe that i've done something wrong, Why do they call me names. Why do you call me names X4 Call me names X11 Why do you call me names X2 Why, call me names Oh why, call me names. Close ... But You're moving in a circle, I'm coming on in a little dizzy spells, And the room is all forlorn, We could be stuck in substance hell, Some more of this is what we need, So hand in hand and off we sway. I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you. Your face is taking pictures of itself, I close my eyes and sighs explode, We sellotape the telephone, And all the little voices grow, Some more of this is what we need, So hand in hand and off we sway. I'm not that close, i'm not that close to you, oh oh oh, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you, It's only the state I'm in and i'm about to come down, It's only the mess within in about to come out. La la la la la,la .... It's only the state I'm in, I'm about to come down, It's only the mess within is about to come out, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you. No Cold feet warm heart You were grounded, Hadn't eaten or slept for days, When I found you, You're washed out, Your life, your loves, Everyone founders, But you are a spell that i'm under. Alive, live for the rest of your life, You're alive, live for the rest of your life, It's the way it goes. You were wounded, Suck the poison from your vein, Sow a seed for you, A fever once again, Your life, your death, Everything's wrong, But you are the heart of this song. Alive, live for the rest of your life, You're alive, live for the rest of your life, You're alive, live, live, live, la la la la la la live, You are alive, you are alive. It's the way it goes, It's the way we are, It's the way we chose, It's the way we are. My life your death, Everyone founders, But you are a spell that i'm under. Alive, live for the rest of your life You're alive, live for the rest of your life You're alive, live, live, live, la la la la la la live, You are alive, you are alive. Scream What's it all about ah ha ha, Spent my whole life praying for a chance to be here, And things are not the same as expected, It's been a hard time. Oh to be wrong, There's no heaven in the sky, Have you ever, Well here's your chance and you can't tell me This is wrong There's no heaven in the sky Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever Cared to scream. First you steal my breath ha ha ha, And now i'm short on trust, I stand up for the test, And then I lie down. Oh to be wrong, There's no heaven in the sky, Have you ever, Well here's your chance and you can't tell us, This is wrong, There's no heaven in the sky, Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever Cared to scream, Cared to scream. Let me take you down, 'Cos I feel divine, Like some holy cow, On a fallen shrine, Like a waterfall, Made of alcohol Oh why, tell me why. Waiting for a friend ah ha ha, It's been a long time, I'm waiting here again, Such a long time. Long, Long, Long, Long, Long, long, You, oh you bring me down, You, you kill me, You kill me, You kill me.
On Car fiction In a taxi chasing for the sun, All around us strangers everyone, With no hope for what they hope for, We could drive all of our tears away. Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho. In a taxi ride that ends too soon, The city skyline tries to kick the moon, We have no time for what they wait for, We can drive all of our tears away. Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho. You and I against the walled in generation, You and I could kick the walls away, We have no time for what they wait for, We can run fast we can run far. Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho.

Natural Animal In and out of prison, Sitting in a pit of a cell, Lick the blood of the wall, Razor blade love letter hell, So you left me there, Didn't care that they'd break down the door, Were you really late, Did you run away, Left me to be caught. Where are you now?, Where are you now?, You're supposed to be a friend of mine, You're supposed to be a friend of mine. In and out of trouble, Pushed in a school full of fools, I'm a natural animal, Bent by the rules, You know what I've done, It's in everyone, Lurking in the cold, And you taught me all that I've ever known, Why let me go?. Where are you now?, Where are you now?, You're supposed to be a friend of mine, You're supposed to be a friend of mine. Save the life of my own, Save the life of my own, Where are you now?, Where are you now?. Go away

Go away, In my way, Go away, In the way oh. All because you thought for yourself now, Naughty girl you thought for yourself now. Go away, Go away. Pantyhose and roses She leaves her brains at the door, She drops her guts on the floor, She only listens out for everyday noises, She very calmly ignores, The littie things she abhors, She's made her mind up to be tidy.

It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It will change, it could never, It could change, change, Oh!. All these years, all this time, Learn to suffer, compromise, Turn away, tolerate, Learn to suffer what you hate.

In the year In the year when your bicycle broke, You were crying in the yard, But the world was a glorious game, New adventures stole your heart. It will come, it will go, But you hold on to what you know, You play your part, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to. In the year when the future was lost, You were fighting in the class, Headed west with your wits and snarl, Left your parents in the past, '78 was the year you explored, Tore your clothes and shaved your head, Joined a band with a broken down van, Thought your life was really swell. It will come, it will go, But you hold on to what you know, You play your part, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to, You only full for what you really want to. Save it all, save it all, Save it all and want your tears away, Save it all, save it all, Save it all and want those tears, It has gone, it has gone, But you hold on to what you know, You play your part, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to. Dark therapy High above the roof tops, Higher than the milky way, Slipping through the hour glass, Shooting up the desert plain, You are one life older than before, But you can't stop the chill, Now you're falling in slow motion, Though the air is still. If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way, Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way. You are on the outside, Hands upon the window sill, I am on the inside, Carving up the hunters kill. If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way, Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way. Cruising on a missile, Cruising on a desert plain, Wading through a minefield, Wading through the monsoon rain, Surfing on an oilspill, Surfing on a perfect wave, Porn upon the airwaves, Rituals of the mating game. If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way, Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way. Worms and angels Here and now, We are alone, Time she will hold her breath, Only the worms and angels, Know our names, But they have not found us, Although they surround us, I feel the distance closing. Come along, For you and I know, We've lived through the centuries, We've ridden the darkest horses, All our lives, We hunted our enemies, We fought with a fallacy, It's time we were all God's children. Far away, The galaxies soar, The stars are exploding still, I wish we could fly away, Fly away. Here and now, For you and I know, True love is deathless, These crumbling days are ending, By my side, Let's walk in the garden, We'll sleep in the ivy, We'll be with the worms and angels.

People are expensive
Fear of flying
Anyhow, anyway Break the round that brings you down Death behind the wheel That ground you down to how you feel The time that flew away The time that flew away You know what you are doing now Can you take this out of here? You and I can build it up You alone can make it real Oh don't you slow down No don't you slow down Is there a price to pay? Overload or out of bounds Death behind the wheel Or pawn it all for something real The one that flew away You know what you are doing now Can you take this out of here? You and I can build it up You alone can make it real Oh don't you slow down Hell don't you slow down No don't you slow down Tell me why
Do you ask yourself why You run scared, with nowhere to go Your heart full of sundays The surface of saturday nights You stare at the floor The fistful of dreams that you crave Got burned out on nicotine stains When nobody called Tell me why, you're alone my friend Tell me why, do you fill yourself on empty Tell me why, you're alone again Do you ask yourself why You don't care for no-one at all You trip on the mainline You're bound to the static that's there All you've ever known Tell me why, you're alone my friend Tell me why, do you fill yourself on empty Tell me why, you're alone again Nowhere to go, nowhere to go Nobody knows you're all alone Nowhere to go, nowhere to go Nobody knows the way to go Down to earth
Turn the light out Another day's ending Put a load away Stars are still shining high All the uninvited, cold hearted, stay foreign In the beginning Wore the stars in your stripes Queen of the home parade Centre stage passed you by Fettered gains soak the blood stains You choke for it Fell back down to earth and took the first plane Heading for the fast lane Fell back down to earth and took the first ride Heading for the overdrive Heading for the fire In the fall out Found a cold ending Sooner or later You're gonna know why You burn a light for your past like a lone comet Fell back down to earth and took the first plane Heading for the fast lane Fell back down to earth and took the first ride Heading for the overdrive Heading for the fire Digit

Burger bar where slaughter chars They pay the rent, they pay the rent So it's alright? Do you know why? Do you know why? They claim it all They claim it all They claim it all And they claim you Now we're coming round to the sucker Picking pockets in the rat race Spitting at the wrong face Any dream they can buy again, Make them come again So they can turn it all into a sale again And here am i Snorting incense in a backroom Sitting in a vacuum Falling apart at the seam again Till i'm numb again Close the door onto a silent end There must be something more than this There must be something more than this Are we coming down to the sound Of 8 billion on a bad day? Maybe later on we're Gonna find out the hard way Someday Is it too late? Too late? There must be something more than this There must be something more than this Dying

Gonna do what we do together We're gonna find out What we do to ourselves How we want it to be And we shoot to the centre Of our own shores For a motionless core On the western front I look round at what I see This ain't where I want to be Looking for some kind of plan Oh yes I am I'm not going down Easing through this phase together We're gonna do all To return to the flow And the rest will fall And the rest will fall I look round at what I see This ain't where I want to be Looking for the word in hand Oh yes I am I'm not going down Say yes Look back at old ways Gonna give it all away Look back at old ways Gonna give it all away I'm not going down It is the western way It is the western way Everything is all
You and I are here alone I can see you in my shadow We both tolerate the good times For everybody else I don't want to wait another round I don't want to wait another round Show me what it is Can you see it? When you're on the outside With your eye on the keyhole Everything is all You know, you know, Is there room at the innside? When you're going nowhere Everything is all I don't want to wait another round I don't want to wait another round I don't want to wait another round But I know i'd like to see it like you do Show me what it is Can you see it? When you're on the outside With your eye on the keyhole Everything is all You know, you know When there's room at the innside But you're going nowhere Everything is all You're a face I might have known Had I seen you in myself And I sure would like to see it like you do Show me what it is Can you see it? When you're on the outside With your eye on the keyhole Everything is all Hello, hello Any room at the innside? When you're going nowhere Everything is all A map is not the territory
I don't wanna save your world I don't want anyone knowing I don't wanna stake what shines I don't want anyone knowing I don't wanna lead your riot Anyone can lead a riot I wear my cover well I'm gonna find out who you are Now I know what you've done to me You paid for the enemy The cold slide you hide You horde about you I don't doubt your downfall You showed me how to word it out Told me it was meant to be Winner gets to carve it up Loser is history But I knew all along I'm gonna find out who you are Now I know what you've done to me You paid for the enemy The cold slide you hide You horde about you I don't doubt your downfall I'll bring you down Hide awhile Here among the wasted high and outs Moving in closer You go to sleep and i'll be right behind you Always You showed me how it's done You fired the guiding gun It's how the east is run And how the west was won Amen Hide me now Among the dead and wasted Hide me now Ondine
You say you can walk away Any time at all You say you're not afraid to die But you're not sleeping You are bringing me down so slow Bringing me down so slow Bringing me down You burn so cold Lost your voice when it needed you Black veins tied you prisoner To coax your severed highs But this is the plastic age The quiet rage is damned and civilised You are bringing me down so slow (give a little out and you're bound to take a fall) Bringing me down so slow (give a little out and you're bound to take a fall) Bringing me down so Tell who made it hurt Won't you say who made it hurt Won't you tell me now who made it hurt again You ache for something You ache for something Point dume
Drove yourself to the end To the point of dume Caught the summer breeze Broken sails on the shore Like the wayward bones Of the way you were Out of time, out of choice Like the lines from the songs You used to know Where are the wilson brothers? Endless summers Midnight drifters All gone too deep Drove yourself to the edge To the point of dume No-one to hold you here Sold your highs for the lows From the valley to the coast You used to know Where are the wilson brothers? Endless summers Midnight drifters All gone too deep Where do they go? Where do they go from here?
Gravity pulls
Gravity pulls Satellites fall away Avery time I close my eyes The sum of my own denial Echoes for a thousand miles Gravity pulls Shadows on the runway Sent to battle over me Layers in reality I'll find an open road Sleep out on the back seat I need to see the sky The colour of the blue sea I could be gone a while We have come a long way Further than our reason lies All that still survives is stranger than we realize I'll find an open road Sleep out on the back seat I need to see the sky The colour of the blue sea I could be gone a while Gravity pulls Falling from a stolen high I'm out of the will that I put in Nothing more to hide behind I'll find an open road Sleep out on the back seat I need to see the sky The colour of the blue sea I could be gone a while I need to see the sky To get me through the good times I keep an open invitation To a world of isolation It's an old right I found a home in hibernation Lost the self in preservation Built the walls high I joke about the bad times To get me through the good times About all those long nights I go wading through Keep running down a one way Giving all for a brand new day But now i'm all out Nothing to lose Nothing to lose Nothing to save From a momentary glory To a solitary story It's a short ride Through the trials and tribulations For the bane of reputation It's a long fight But i'm done I joke about the bad times To get me through the good times About all those long nights I go wading through Keep running down a one way Giving all for a brand new day, But now i'm all out Nothing to lose Nothing to lose Nothing to save No more ties You started a fire in the heart of a wasted life Life is easy, where you're coming from You take what pleases and you turn it on Born from a wayward style that's running wild You're the stranger that was ever known You know I was living on doubts You know I was living on odds You're my favourite You started a fire in the heart of a wasted life I've got something to burn, anytime, anyway you like Take me closer than i've ever been Paint a canvas like i've never seen Red for the blood that drives you ever round You're the danger i've been waiting on You know I was living on doubts You know I was living on odds You're my favourite You started a fire in the heart of a wasted life I've got something to burn, anytime, anyway you like It's just the way that you are It's just the way that you are We like the way that you are We like the way that you are Djinn In the idle light of a fading day There's a past I lost One I gave away One I used to know Caught in the dust of a desert plain Waiting For the rains to fall It's something that I feel, rain falls Something that I feel, when rain falls More than a world away It's always here inside In all that has overgrown Almost underground Could never be all erased Only lost and found One I left behind Caught in the dust of a desert plain Waiting For the rains to come It's something that I feel, rain falls Something that I feel, when rain falls More than a world away It's always here inside Big sky mind Don't look unless you're leaning on a wall Or you'll fall over, you'll fall over Don't look until you're ready for that fall And you'll be flying, you'll be flying Don't remember any memory at all And you'll be laughing, you'll be laughing Look up at the big sky mind It makes you feel so small Don't look back at all the things you'll never know They're never ending, never ending Don't return to where you never meant to go Keep on moving, keep on moving Don't belong to any corner of the world Don't be a stranger, be a stranger Look up at the big sky mind It makes you feel so small Look up at the big sky mind It makes you feel so small Strangely drawn All that I put on Hid behind a mask, way too long The part of me that has to run Always found the path to your door I need you to lean upon Despite my claims of never letting on I find myself strangely drawn All that life becomes Rarely dared to ask, was I wrong? I'd hit upon a perfect plan Only to denounce who I am I need you to lean upon Despite my claims of never letting on I find myself strangely drawn A good day A good day To watch the world pass you by Pretend There's a friend in the herd You ache for the real thing But it's hard to be sure A shame So much love had to die When all the ones that bait you come by And all that matters shakes you to your core Then you remember how it was Before the clamour of a strange dilemma Before the flicker of a cold-eyed change It will never be the same. Regret Leaves no room for mistakes You hate All the more that you love They say “it's the same thing” But it's hard to be sure A good day To watch the world pass you by Run through it all, run through it all Does it trigger thoughts that you never told? Run through it all, run through it all Does it trigger thoughts that you can't control? And you remember how it was Before the clamour of a strange dilemma Before the flicker of a cold-eyed change It will never be the same. A good day To watch the world pass you by What you deserve Am I anyone to ease the way? You want inner calm. I deviate I'm not what you want to be, i'm not the same Can't live in doubt, with or without finding out And here it ends I've given all that I really want And if I reap what I sow Maybe i'm not the only one Who needs room enough to grow While i'm wide awake This to you I dedicate Learn to read between the words I hope you get what you deserve Am I anyone to compromise Can't live in doubt, with or without finding out No sacrifice One in a million You got caught in the moment Armed like the self assured A bellyful of blown up ideals Art as it's own reward You look back at your future now To see how time erodes But if the world would take you whole You'd be first to swallow Round up all the weirdos All loners/freaks and anti heroes One in a million... You got stuck in the moment The same arms tied you down Your pockets full of burnt out idols Art as a waste of time The “great pretence of common sense” A joke you always remembered You gave up more than you know You give up more than you know But if the world would take you whole You'd be first to swallow Round up all the weirdos All loners/freaks and anti heroes One in a million... The silent urge against the herd it runs a course through your life Oh never to be heard Haunted by the shadows for most of your life The “great pretence of common sense” A joke you always remembered You gave up more than you know You give up more than you know But if the world would take you whole You'd be first to swallow Round up all the weirdos All loners/freaks and anti heroes One in a million...
All tomorrow brings My own life A dream I make believe A veil of blood ties A worn out elegy It won't hurt It won't hurt Anymore My dark night Your mood is on the wane And dawn will set her light To bring me home again It won't hurt It won't hurt Anymore When half the world lies Alone in all their dreams I'll see the curtain rise With all tomorrow brings It won't hurt It won't hurt Anymore My own life A dream I make believe

Non Albums Tracks One after 5AM Amber leaves were falling, Walls in dresses of grafiti, The sky was a broken blue, Take the desires of a madman, With the wishes of a fool, Equals me and you. Time and time again I've drowned in my own desires, Don't know why. I jump in the ocean, Land on a higher ground, Stripped of a real emotion, I'm one of the lost and found. Breathing rocks deep underwater, Tangled secrets sleep forgotten, A leaving gift from you, In a maze of misadventure, Thought I felt what lay beside me, Glimpsed a naked view. Time and time again I've drowned in my own desires, Don't know why. I jump in the ocean, Land on a higher ground, Stripped of a real emotion, I'm one of the lost and found, One of the lost and found, One of the lost and found, One of the lost and found. Atom Sunken sky of silver gray, A shame they took the sun away, I could have done with some, Today the world's a shade of blue, Decidedly because of you, Honey, I don't know why. I've seen the sign, the silhouettes, the darker side, I know so well. I don't where I've fallen, I don't where I've fallen, Only one way to go, I won't miss you. Magic tales and pony tails and fingernails, That should have been cleaned, Yesterday, far away, The memories swell, The minutes fade, Hours pass and decades fail, Honey, I don't wanna die. And life is like unfaithful sand, Slipping through this opened hand. I don't where I've fallen, I don't where I've fallen, Only one way to go, I won't miss you, I won't miss you, I won't miss you. We know better I know the way the west wind blows, The way temptation grows, The way that fortunes flow. La la la la la. Wired on emotions, They don't understand, But we know better, I know the way the preachers pray, And who the angels save, And where the devil plays. La la la la la. Wired on emotions, They don't understand, But we know better, High from motions and we pave the way, And we know where we want to go, We know better. Four hands making plans, Making signs, conversation, Two minds lost in time, Yours and mine. Wired on emotions, They don't understand, But we know better, High from motions and we pave the way, And we know where we want to go, We know better. I don't belong here Stealing words along the silent smiles, Sleepy town held me down, waved good-bye, World unfolds, seashore swirl, horizon's the same, Destiny breeds a life of isolation, Give to me the bitter flesh of inspiration, Watch me future seed a gift from god. I don't belong here, I don't belong here, What I've said and done build a world in my arms. Lay down your guns, Lay down your sky, We are dreamers, dreamers a nightmare apart. I don't belong here, I don't belong here, I don't belong here, I don't belong, What I've said and done build a world of my own. Bunty Lost my ticket at the gate, And now l'm cross and now I'm late, The station has a lengthy cue, And you said I could be with you, But will you still be waiting, When I finally get to, Where you're waiting to. Met you at the old school gate, Where you were hanging with your mates, You flicked your fingers through your hair, It was chilly for that time of year, My head went spinning into space, Just like you'd smacked me in the face. When I got there in the end, I caught you srogging with my friend, What if she's pretty, if she is smart, I saw you first you broke my heart, And life's not fair and it's so cruel, 'Cos you said I could be with you. Now I don't think you're good enough, And after school I'll beat you up. Centipede You're a centipede crawling down my spine, You're the evil world of the nursery rhyme, You're the drug in which I fly. Drag me under, Douse the tracks, Dressed in anger, Hit back, hit back, hit back. You're an open wound that was left to bleed, You're my only friend, Don't be cruel to me, I smash the looking glass against my head, Let my senses burn as my body bled, We are immigrants in a fractured time, Found the pieces of a life that's mine, You're all I fear that I might find. Drag me under, Douse the track, Dressed in anger, Hit back, hit back, hit back, Oh, oh, oh, oh. You're an animal in an open cage, You're an orchestra in a manic phase, You're the dream in which I die. Drag me under, Douse the track, Dressed in anger, Hit back, hit back, hit back. Drag me under, Douse the track, Dressed in anger, Hit back, hit back, hit back, Hit back, hit back, hit back. Fake My love don't despair, There's no other could compare, Only lust can come between us, And I know you wouldn't dare. Oh, oh yes I know, oh, Ah ha there's no other, Only only you can do it better, Only only you can do it better, Only you. My love you're not there, They're betrayal in the air, You're a cheater you're a liar, Smell the perfume in your hair. Oh heaven knows oh, Ah ha here's the other, Only only you can do it better, Only only you can do it better, Only you. Only fools do it better, We leave the fakes behind, Only fools do it better, We leave the fakes behind, Only only you can do it better, Only only you can do it better, Only you, you. God's guest list Come slip inside, Take a chair, The final performance is almost here, So it's time to go, l'll close the show, The death of an actor who no one knows. Now that the show is over, Will I belong to you, Now that the show is over, Will I be, will I be, will I be, On God's guest list. The worm inside, the worm inside, Culled from a lifetime of standing by, Oh I followed all the golden rules, Head lined a season of solitude, On the back of a broken dream, They cashed another money machine, You took your chance, you showed your skill, You really didn't know any better, You gave a little hope, you stole a little something, You really didn't know any better. Now that the show is over, Will I belong to you, Now that the show is over, Will I be, will I be, will I be, On God's guest list, Moving on. Sleeping Hitler I deny feeling inside for a long time, and now I realize there are part of everyone, like a sleeping hitler, There's strength of destruction, I thought part of me, when pain is the opium. But it's much too late to be judged, How I wish I was blindly, I wish I was blindly, I wish I was blindly, blindly loved. For desire, carry the cross of obsession, a tumbling of launch, I naturally poisoned, I'm a sleepig hitler, No better than anyone, I've learned to be civilized, and that is the difference. But it's much too late to be judged, how I wish I was blindly, I wish I was blindly, I wish I was blindly, I wish I was blindly, Wish I was blindly, I wish I was. I know who you are, I'll tell you something, I know what you are, I know because you showed me, I was really out there, Oh yes you showed me, I was really out there. But it's much too late to be judged, anymore, I wish I was blindly, I wish I was blindly, I wish I was blindly, Wish I was blindly, I wish I was, Wish I was blindly, Wish I was blindly, blindly loved, blindly loved, blindly loved, I wish I was blindly loved. Aloha lolita They lie on the sofa, He's got his hand inside her dress, He says he adores her, The word is she's crazy, She likes the taste between her legs, They say she's a goer, The truth is it bores her, She's bored, she's bored beyond belief, There's nothing to do here, She's been there, She's done it, She's seen it all, It's taken place inside her head, When no one can go there, She's saving up for something, She says she's up for sale.

All stand up now, here comes the scene, All stand up now, here comes the scene, All take a bow,here comes the Queen, All stand up now, here comes the scene. Sober Once in a while, I'll be the figure on the sleeve, on the sleeve, Is there anyone who understands me?, Oh anyone anyone anyone more than you, I've played blind men's games for a vision, Just to see, just to see, just to see how low, Would you like to see how low I go?, Won't you see how low I go?. Now that it's over I'm left on the floor, Cold and I'm sober, It is worse than before, And I hate that I want you, How could I know, I still love. Once in a while, I'll be the joker on the scene, on the scene, Is there anyone who cares to listen?, Kill the tormentor in my dream, We're out in the big wide world for a mission, So why do I feel inside, empty and so small, And I called to say, Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello. Now that it's over I'm left on the floor, Cold and I'm sober, It is worse than before, And I hate that I want you, How could I know, I still love. Why do I, who do I, why do I love you?. So la di da Now if my eyes don't show you, Cause they're fueled with fire, And my pride, it builds a barrier, As the flames are growing high, And the future is a fugitive, To my everyday desires, And all I want is everything, And more, La di da di da di da di da da, I'm so la di da. I close my eyes, I shut my mouth, I close my eyes, I shut my mouth, La di da di da da da, La di da di da da da da. Now if your charms don't hold me. Your presence, it won't posses me, You try so hard to tame me, Control the one's we love, Don't compare me to the others, Your oh so perfect lovers, They're so civilized civilized civilized, They are morons, La di da di da di da di da, I'm so la di da. I close my eyes, I shut my mouth, I close my eyes, I shut my mouth, I close my eyes, I shut my mouth, I close my eyes, I shut my mouth, La di da di da da da, La di da di da da da da.

Talent See that boy, He's got the song of the century, He's got the face that was meant to be, On the covers of lavishing height. Watch that girl, Moves like the vamp on the disco floor, Curses the crap that has gone before, Makes me happy, Not very bright. Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?, Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?, Any of none. New turn, Talent is all that we understand, Gullible suits have the upper hand, Are we laughing?, Not very hard, Sell your soul, To papers I painted cold hand low, Lied about crack in the pubs and so, Are we crying?, It's ever so sad. Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?, Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?, Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?, Any of none. Venus wheel When the city comes alive, When the debonaire are like fire-flies, See the social satire lives, See them dance on their beauty at the wheel, Wonder how it feels, Wonder how it feels to be you. Oh little venus, Dressed up to tease us, Locked in the room upstairs, She's combing her hair, Oh little venus, Smells of the sweetest, Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around, Oh, oh. In the honey-coated atmosphere, Now it's new thighs, glam rides latest to gold, With your hair and the sherbet dip that you taste, Makes her lost in space, Beauty at the wheel, Wonder how it feels, Wonder how it feels to be you. Oh little venus, Dressed up to tease us, Locked in the room upstairs, She's combing her hair, Oh little venus, Smells of the sweetest, Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around. Oh little venus, Little little little little little venus, Don't you know little venus, Don't you know, Don't you know. Oh little venus, Dressed up to tease us, Locked in the room upstairs, She's combing her hair, Oh little venus, Smells of the sweetest, Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around. Oh little venus, Sweet little venus, Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around. Holding the wire My very ordinary sanguinary thoughts Make you feel insecure I don't care any more Did my opinions kill your reputation Ripped your elegant plans That's the way that I am Darling, your lonely nights Have turned into lonely days I just wanna know Are you scared of the real thing Are you searching for sympathy Walking a wire on your own Running round in syharitic circles But the ghosts in your path They were there from the start Wrapped around your need to feed your ego Lost yourself in the race And the hunger remains Darling, your lonely nights Have turned into lonely days I just wanna know Are you scared of the real thing Are you searching for sympathy Walking a wire on your own You want it (you got it) X2 You want it (you take it) Then you're sorry You do it all again tomorrow No one cares and no one follows You want it (you got it) X2 You want it (you take it) Then you're sorry Swallowing the same excuses Falling in the same holes Darling, your lonely nights Have turned into lonely days I just wanna know Are you scared of the real thing Are you searching for sympathy Walking a wire on your own i just wanna know Are you waiting for something When your world is in darkness When you're alone Drive myself distracted Like an ordinary, like an ordinary thought That drifts into a naked eye How extraordinary, things are happening Can't stop myself, i'm sinking into broken ice I've a head that burns Can I hold my head up There's a storm around me Love its violence, a fever rush A push, a shove inside Do I wanna do what I do I wanna loosen the noose And take a tumble as I roll the dice I've a head that burns And I hold my head up high, because I can And if I drive myself distracted That is just the way I am If it pleases me to waste may time Then try to understand If I lose myself in what I do That's just because I can Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close To knowing what I am Are you turning corners, are you coming closer Close enough to take you for a ride Do you ever do what you fear You ever lived for the thrill Enough to fill you up inside I've a head that burns And I hold my head up high, bacause I can And if I drive myself distracted That is just the way I am If it pleases me to waste may time Then try to understand If I lose myself in what I do That's just because I can Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close To knowing what I am Falling flame As the rain pours down Washes out my thoughts of you And the hurling sound It's wallows up your name Iconoclast, the hidden past you left before you came You charmed my darkest hour It's close again and things are not the same I remember you, you're the one who came Crawling from the past, like a falling flame Did you hold it down, or give yourself away Did you hold it back, or open up the gates To call a flood to sweep it up Or drown it in the rain I remember you, you're the one who came Falling from the past, like a falling flame I never chose to be this way, to be alone There never was another choice, there never was As the rain pours down Washes out my thoughts of you And the hurling sound It's wallows up your name I remember you, you're the one who came Falling from the past, like a falling flame I remember you, I remember you Like a falling flame,like a falling flame I remember you, I remember you...
I am awake
I'm the word nobody will say I'm the wretch nobody can save I'm the wild untouchable space I'm the scream that cuts through this silence It's funny then, that I can hear symphonies I am awake I am wide awake Now that I know I won't be lost again I'm the core of the chaos you crave I'm the flame that burns through your name It's cold outside, I am on fire again I am awake I am wide awake Now that I know I won't be lost again When I see red
Was it all vertical lines, only and ever known Courting the horizon, sunbound, Moored on a long road When I see red I don't know what it means But I've done the time So give it to me now, time on my mind I've been living my life Life Here in my mind More than less, more than I know Ageless and ever near I'm lining up layers, undiscovered Feels like a rush to me, the kind I need I don't know why I don't spit it out like I used to Cos I've done the time So give it to me now, time on my mind I've been living my life Life Here in my mind
