Slightly Odway Lyrics |
Leaving Home
Were
you laughed at by your friends?
And were you lost for words when everybody finally told you what
they thought?
You can't keep up with the trends
It makes you lose but somehow everybody always makes up in the
end
Oh, was it something that I ate?
Oh, didn't even touch my plate
Oh, suddenly I'm feeling great
Do you like me now?
Leaving
home, life was never good to me
Leaving home, I smell the morning air
Leaving home, life was never good
You can work it out we're leaving home
I
could hear them through the door
As people came in laughing at the way they acted when they were
alone
And an argument can start with nothing more than this
To be the love to leave you standing on your own
Oh, am I doing it again?
Oh, I'm a loser now and then
Oh, and I smile at everything
Do you like me now?
Leaving
home, life was never good to me
Leaving home, I smell the morning air
Leaving home, life was never good
You can work it out we're leaving home
Hope
I like the life I find when I leave everything behind
I hope I'm sure I've made my mind to go and leave home
Leaving
home, life was never good to me
Leaving home, I smell the morning air
Leaving home, life was never good
You can work it out we're ...
Leaving
home, life was never good to me
Leaving home, I smell the morning air
Leaving home, life was never good
You can work it out we're leaving home
Benedict
Yeah!
Benedict sits in his room
Benedict, Ben-Benedict
Green men are coming soon
Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He waits for them in the dark
Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He stands alone in the ball park
Benedict, Ben-Benedict
They
didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you
They didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you
Benedict's
losing his head Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He keeps it under the bed Benedict, Ben-Benedict
His mind will let him know Benedict, Ben-Benedict
When it is time to go home Benedict, Ben-Benedict
They
didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you
They didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you
ohhh....
Oh,
we're suddenly much better than you [ x 3 ]
Oh, we're suddenly much better...
Now
you're looking at the new fave
Now you're going to see the next rave
Keep on blasting out and go green
Blame it on the magic brain bean, yeah...
Ben-ben-ben-ben... [ x 4 ]
Harpoon
This
will take some explaining but I think you will agree
There is no use pretending that there's hope for you and me
And
I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it's the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart...
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart
Yeah
I
can handle the fighting, it's the affection I can't stand
And I don't mind us talking, just don't try and touch my hand
And
I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it's the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart...
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart
Yeah
When
you left I didn't want you back
But now your gone so won't you come right back
Come right back... [ x 5 ]
And
I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it's the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart...
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart
Why
does it hurt?
Cos if it matter don't say it won't
We're the same
But is it happening again?
And
I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it's the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart...
Like
a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart
Jerks Of Attention
There
is no pain, my body's drained
I never should have had that fourth slice straight
We gathered round, the lost and found
But my jerks of attention let me down
Well
I took the first one
And I pulled it back
And what was once green
Had all turned black, had all turned black
And there was nothing left to say
I'm
ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted
I'm
getting there, my constant stare
And I don't think I'll move from this chair
We've got them both, Archers of loaf
And the Stone Roses in the stereo
Well
I took the first one
And I pulled it back
And what was once green
Had all turned black, had all turned black
And there was nothing left to say
I'm
ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted
I'm
ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted
Wasted,
wasted
Wasted, wasted
Chorus
I
don't want to be straight, don't want to be straight
I don't want to be wasted, wasted, wasted, dont...
Invaders
It
was in the evening, or was it afternoon?
It doesn't really matter, they were in my room
No
they're not here to save you [ x 3 ]
No they're not...
One
by one
They tricked me
One by one
They stripped me
One by one
They fixed me
One by one
Invaders picked me
I
thought that I should go now, but I just had to stay
Stick around and listen to what they had to say
No
we're not here to hurt you [ x 3 ]
No we're not...
One
by one
They tricked me
One by one
They stripped me
One by one
They fixed me
One by one
Invaders picked me
Ohhhh,
arrggghhh, oohhh
Invaders, Invaders, Invaders, Invaders...
Ooh,
I like their eyes, like buggy flies
Their purple skies, where no one dies
Their silken hair, and what they wear
Without a care for nothing
Say
that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
Bah,
bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah...... etc.
Backing: Watch out for invaders...
Spoil The Show
I
know I've said things I didn't mean to say
And I know I've done thing I didn't mean to do
I'm stupid, pathetic
Sometimes I say things that I never mean to say
And sometimes I do things I don't wanna do
But can we leave that out?
I'm
waiting for the early sign
That signals everything is fine
I've rocked the boat enough I know
To make a scene and spoil the show
I
get jealous way too easy all the time
And over zealous way to easy on time
Before I see things straight
Sometimes I say things I never mean to say
And sometimes I do some things I don't wanna do
But can we leave that out?
I'm
waiting for the early sign
That signals everything is fine
I've rocked the boat enough I know
To make a scene and spoil the show
I'm
waiting for the early sign
That signals everything is fine
I've rocked the boat enough I know
To make a scene and spoil the show
The show, the show, the show...
Blame
I
was strolling down your road
When I saw you now I know
It's clear, it's all your fault dear
And the price I had to pay
Shit that I took everyday
I lived was all that you could give
And
I know that you're to blame [ x 6 ]I've been fighting it so long
But I know that I'm not wrong
With this, I'm totally pissed
So I'll take it out on you
And all your girlfriends too
Cause they hate me but they're too blind to see
And I know that you're to blame [ x 6 ]
Sssah....
And I know that you're to blame [ x 6 ]
It'll never be the same
Puck Defender
You
and me tie ourselves on to the railway
Taking off things that catch us up
Setting off things that fly us down the freeway
Blowing our brew from plastic cups
Nothing
to do, in this situation
The pilots are drunk, we're all dead
Proving we're worth, the casual observation
Proving we're worth the food we're fed
And
I'm harking up the pieces
All the pieces that I've found
And I'm picking up the pieces
Off the ground, yeah
You
and me fall down onto the wrong side
Laughing at those that pushed us down
Climbing back up, we enjoy the free ride
Climbing back up but they've all gone
Nothing
to do, when you're in this situation
The pilots are drunk, we're all dead
Proving we're worth, the casual observation
Proving we're worth the food we're fed
And
I'm harking up the pieces
All the pieces that I've found
And I'm picking up the pieces
Off the ground, yeah
You
and me tie ourselves on to the railway
Taking off things that catch us up
Setting off things that fly us down the freeway
Blowing our brew from plastic cups
Nothing
to do, when you're in this situation
The pilots are drunk, we're all dead
Proving we're worth, the casual observation
Proving we're worth the food we're fed
And
I'm harking up the pieces
All the pieces that I've found
And I'm picking up the pieces
Off the ground, yeah
Lino
There
is the mat
Wipe where it's at
You can come in
So can the cat [meow!]
I can see me
Under my feet
Under a fan
Spreading the heat
If
everyone's ready and waiting for you, yeah
Then come along Friday, what is there to do?
We
like to clean, our hands with preen
To keep all the germs away from the scene
That's our motto, that's what we say
That is the truth, that's how it'll stay
If
everyone's ready and waiting for you, yeah
Then come along Friday, what is there to do?
Scrub
and make clean the lino, lino
In case of visitors
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean, it's hard to clean
There
is the mat
Wipe where it's at
You can come in
So can the cat [miaow!]
I can see me
Under my feet
Under a fan
Spreading the heat
If
everyone's ready and waiting for you, yeah
Then come along Friday, what is there to do?
Scrub and make clean the lino, lino
In case of visitors, visitors
Like
what you get when you've just started retarded
Think of what you want and who you are
My life when I think is so circumstancial
You take what you're given it's never substancial
But that doesn't matter, when I am around her
I think of something more, but what will I use it for
You
don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean, hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
Can you tell me what I mean
Military Strongmen
I'm
on parade, you dont say
Why can't you see that
Keeping my feelings at bay
Why can't you see that when?
When
you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you [ x 2 ]
I'm just better off...
All
of the years add up to
Why can't you see that?
Something has happened to you
Why can't you see that when
When
you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you [ x 4 ]
You just get me down
It's
not me, it can't be
I'd rather leave
It's getting hard to be a part
Of what is around
Is this the situation of the time
If so you can have yours I want mine
I know there's something better you could be
Now I am past caring completely
When
you're around, you just get me down
I'm better off without you [ x 4 ]
Teflon
We
were going along
To a particular song
Just hanging around
Feet scuffing the ground
Catching us on a roll
We were collecting the dole
Doesn't mean something's wrong
We
were just slipping along
Slipping along
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
At
a party we found
People hanging around
There was nothing to do
We were smoking a few
Saw two girls outside
They were both pretty wired
I thought something was wrong
But they were just getting it on
Slipping
along
Yeah
Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on
Yeah
We
were going along
To a particular song
Just hanging around
Feet scuffing the ground
Catching us on roll
We were collecting the dole
Doesn't mean something's wrong
We
were just slipping along
Slipping along
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on
Yeah
[rap bit]
At
a party we found
People hanging around
There was nothing to do
We were smoking a few
Saw two girls outside
They were both pretty wired
I
thought something was wrong
But they were just getting it on
Getting along
Yeah
Slipping along
Yeah, Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on, and on... (fade out)
Twilight=Dusk
I
don't wanna go anymore
I don't wanna go anymore
Stop pushing me through the door
I don't wanna go anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
I
don't wanna fight anymore
I don't wanna fight anymore
Picking myself off the floor
I don't wanna fight anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore
I
said I'd try but you don't believe me
You still don't know who I am, if only
I had the guts to tell you
If I had the guts to tell you
If... If... If...
La Di Da Da
Well
I've been outside and it's not my scene
And I know you don't know what I mean
But I'm trying hard cos I've never been
On the other side of a day dream
La da di da da...
And
I've been around, tried to be kind
But it gets me down, when I often find
People that I meet, in this state of mine
Hanging onto threads, falling behind
La da di da da...
Seems
I've found
Something to stick around my neck and be proud
Seems I know
Somethings will never go with what you've got on show
Even so...
La da di da da...
La Di Da Da (Secret Encore wait till about 6:55)
