Because we're young, because we're gone, We'll take the tide's electric mind, oh yeah?, oh yeah, We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh, Because we're young, because we're gone, we'll scare the skies with tigers eyes, oh yeah? oh yeah, We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon, oh Let's chase the dragon... ...from our home high in the city where the skyline stained the snow, I fell for a servant who kept me on the boil We're so young and so gone, let's chase the dragon from our home!
Animal Nitrate.
Like his dad you know that he's had Animal nitrate in mind, Oh in your council home he jumped on your bones Now you're taking it time after time Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone? Well he said he'd show you his bed And the delights of the chemical smile, So in your broken home he broke all your bones Now you're taking it time after time Oh it turns you on, on, now he has gone Oh what turns you on now your animal's gone? What does it take to turn you on, on, Now he has gone? Now you're over 21? Now your animal's gone? ...animal, he was animal, an animal.
She's Not Dead.
She'll come to her end locked in a car somewhere with exhaust in her hair, What's she called? I dunno, she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran And he said "She's not dead, she's gone away, gone away" he said He said "She's not dead, just go away go away" he said In the car he couldn't afford they found his made up name on her ankle chain, So don't call, don't call her at home, she's fucking with a slip of a man while the engine ran And he said "She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said He said "She's not dead, she's gone away gone away" he said "Just gone away gone away" he said She's gone away to someone else's bed.
Moving.
Shame on me well I had the beast you see And if he can take it I can take him home with me, Shame on her, she's a lovely little number And when we go lassooing you get lassood, all of you If you can take it, I can take it And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy, we are a girl So moving, so moving... Shame on the girl, she's got a big black dog in her And while tough kids sing about tough kids she just skins the world, We'll never never play the harp, and we'll stick like sick on the stars And if you can take it I can take these stones from my heart If you can take it, I can take it And we're moving, so moving, so we are a boy we are a girl So moving, so moving... If you can take it, I can take it, all of me If you can take it, I can take it all If you can take it, I can take it, all of me If you can take it, I can take it all!
Pantomime Horse.
I was born as a pantomime horse Ugly as the sun when he falls to the floor, I was cut from the wreckage one day This is what I get for being that way, Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them? Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend? I was conned by a circus hand Tragic as the son of superman, "I would die for the stars" she said This is what I get for my beautiful head, Well did you ever, did you ever go round with them? Well did you ever, did you ever go round the bend? ...ever tried it that way, have you ever tried it that way?
The Drowners.
Won't someone give me a gun? Oh, well it's for my brother, Well he writes the line wrote down my spine It says "Oh do you believe in love there?" So slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, Sir we drown, stop taking me over Won't someone give me some fun? (and the skin flies all around us) We kiss in his room to a popular tune Oh, real drowners Slow down, slow down, you're taking me over And so we drown, Sir we drown, stop taking me over!
Sleeping Pills.
Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them Though it's just time they kill, Angel, give me your sleeping pills, you don't need them Give me the time they kill, You're a water sign, I'm an air sign Gone gone to Valium, can you get me some? You're a water sign, and I'm an air sign Too Siamese to catch the leaves from those trees Angel, don't take those sleeping pills, you don't need them Though it's just time they kill, You're a water sign, I'm an air sign Pumped up with Valium, could you get me some? You're a water sign, I'm an air sign With sweet F.A. to do today, with sweet F.A. to do today... ...Angel, don't take those sleeping pills.
Breakdown.
Back where the dogs bark, where still life bleeds the concrete white, try not to go too far inside your mind. Back where the cars decide, where the lame star limps an endless mile, have I gone too far inside my mind? Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now my mind has gone? Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice? Back where the car was parked, where the canine in the A-line stole your time, you can only go so far for womankind, Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice now that he has gone? Oh, if you were the one, would I even notice? Does your love only come, does your love only come, does he only come in a Volvo?
Metal Mickey.
Well she's show showing it off then The glitter in her lovely eyes Show show showing it off then And all the people shake their money in time She sells heart, she sells meat Oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see We shake shake shake to the trumpet And through the slippery city we ride Skyline swine on the circuit Where all the people shake their money in time She sells heart, she sells meat Oh dad, she's driving me mad, come see
Animal Lover.
I see you're moving, see you're moving, moving in with her You'll pierce your right ear, pierce your heart here, this skinny boy is one of the girls 'Cos around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are I know you've been inside but what were you in for? Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover? I see you're moving, see you're moving like wildlife from the waist But when your name's scratched in on a shiny ring your waist is my resting place And around my neck and around her neck hangs everything you are I know you've been inside but what were you in for? Animal lover, animal lover, animal lover?
The Next Life.
See you in your next life when we'll fly away for good, Stars in our own car we can drive away from here Far away, so far away, down to Worthing and work there Far away, we'll go far away and flog ice creams 'til the company's on its knees... ...see you in your next life when we'll fly away for good.
