1. Gestapo Lady
I never lied
I always tried
To help you through your misery
Call me old-fashioned
Call me a freak
You know I thought this was the way
Love was meant to be
You drove me crazy
With your Gestapo lady
At the first sign of trouble
You'd just jump into her bubble
Well I'm not gunna die
And you can't bring me down
You've invited me to grimace
Invited me to frown
Well I'm not lying on a bed of stone
So you fucked me up
But I've regrown
Sit back and watch me smile...
I was never gonna die for you
2. Kisses
Do you ever think of me
Or do you live in a fairy tale
That's nothing like reality?
Do you ever wake up in the rain
With your head in pain?
Do you ever even feel sad?
A little piece of heaven
It's worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight
So you fell into my future
And you crawled under my skin
You demanded
That we became entwined
But then you crawled out the back door
And you stole everything
You know you've even stolen my mind
I have lost my mind
A little piece of heaven
Is worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight, yeah
Punish me with your kisses
Tonight, yeah
Punish me with your kisses
Tonight, tonight, tonight
A little piece of heaven
It's worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight
Tonight, tonight
A little piece of heaven it's worth all the pain
3. Medicinal Lemonade
I caught him looking in the mirror
He said he didn't like what he saw
So he turned away
He couldn't face his shame
He lied, he told me that he was okay
I caught him dwelling on the past
This seemed to happen more and more
Until in the end he'd forgotten our future
He was stuck in the past behind a locked door
So he'd drink his medicinal lemonade
He'd destroy his own mind like a razor blade
He'd try to cut the thoughts from his brain
In vain
He was never quite the same
Well I always picked him up
I always made him smile
Till he disappeared to 'cyberland'
Never to return...
Well, baby you're still running
You're running scared from the burden
Of another's pain
So, stand still
Face the truth
Think of only you and what you're losing
Drop your barriers and stop your retreat
'Coz I'm here baby and I'm still smiling for you
So come on let's quit that medicinal lemonade
We could have cut those thoughts together
With a razor blade
You know you and me?
We were better than the Solpadeine
But now...
You've started running
You'll always have to hide
And now that you've started
Hiding from me
You'll be eaten alive
By your parasitic memories
'Coz you've started running
You'll always have to hide
And now that you've
Started hiding from me
You'll be eaten alive by your
Parasitic memories of me
4. Dot Com Women (Miss Cucaracha)
Miss Cucaracha
Is she living in a bin?
Well she went on the Internet
She wrecked everything, everything
But is she real? Is she real?
I guess you just don't know!
I am seventeen, I am beautiful

These dot com women
They will pull your strings, yeah

I hope she's driving you insane
5. Kissing in a Campervan
I got a penthouse suite
It doesn't mean anything to me
I tried a luxury cruise ship
But it never felt quite right at sea
Suddenly I shiver as the sun creeps
In a crack between the curtains
And then I see you quiver
As I realise that you are not quite certain
Well I don't mind you trying something new
'Coz you won't find owt better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Sex in a campervan... with me!
So you went further afield to see
Is the grass really greener, well is it?
You traded in your dream car
For what seems to me
An unsuitable beamer!
Well she looks fast
And she looks sleek
But does she have a
Place to make your dinner?
I think you know
I think I know that I am
The only real winner here
Well I don't mind you trying something new
But you won't find owt better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Sex in a campervan, with me
And you, and me, yeah...
Do you remember the time?
It was electrifying!
Which way do I go?
You say you're turning your screws
But is this really certain
Am I speaking to the real you?
I don't mind you trying something new
But you won't find owt better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Sex in a campervan, with me!
6. Mail Order Bride
You live in 'Strawberry Fields' where nothing is real
How can you sleep in your virtual reality?
How can you feel when your life is on a memory chip?
There's no need to speak 'coz everything is visual
No need to touch because there's nothing physical
No need for anything, you're having an ego trip
I said, how do you know
She isn't Latino mustachio?
I said, how do you know
That the boat race was ever
Really won by her?
When she is mail order
Probably young enough to be your daughter
You should be careful what you're buying on the Internet
You're never quite sure what you're going to get
She'll whip you down the aisle then jump into a photo booth
She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
You know she's only trying
To get you inside
She's a mail order bride
So you start with CDs and then progress to DVDs
Everything's so easy
Could you download me a family please?
The ultimate purchase though a piece of femininity
It's all in a checkbox, a sea of opportunity
You can choose anything
Her height, her weight, her family tree!
The only problem being
She won't make the honeymoon suite
I said, how do you know
She isn't Latino mustachio?
I said, how do you know
That the boat race was ever really won by her?
When she is mail order
Probably young enough to be your daughter
You should be careful what you're buying on the Internet
You know you're never quite sure what you're going to get
She'll whip you down the aisle
Then jump into a photo booth
She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
You know she's only trying to get you inside, no
She's a mail order bride
How do you know
That you have really been speaking to her?
How do you know
That you have really been listening to her?
I said, how do you know
Well, how do you know anything? How? How?
When she's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
She's only trying to get you inside, no
She's a mail order bride
7. Rockstar'z Chick
You're not a rockstar
You're not a rockstar
You're not a rockstar
You know you didn't even know my name
Until we'd played the same game, twice
That was not nice
You said that you could turn my screws
But then you turned your back on me
Like this was the last time
I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
Why do you always think you're in control?
I said no-oh-oh, n-n-n-n-no
I'm never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl
There you go again
Turn your back on me
You think you're such a rockstar
Man, you're a wannabe!
Look at you laughing
You think you've got everything
My dear I find you very amusing
I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
Why do you always think you're in control?
I said no-oh-oh, n-n-n-n-no
I'm never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl
I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego and a dream
Hello, hello, what a surprise
I can see the fear of failure in your eyes
You said you'd got everything
But now you've got nothing
Listen up baby
And you'll hear me laughing
I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
I always knew that you would lose it
No oh-oh, N-n-n-n-no
I was never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl
I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego and a dream
8. Mr and Mrs
Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Is this your final lot in your life?
Do me a favour, won't you sell me your soft spots?
How do you stop that suicide rot?
Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Or is this your lot?
You've got your 2.4 but no number ten
Is this the final straw?
The Robertsons are dying on their floor
There's nowhere left to hide!
Bring on the suicide...
Cough, cough baby did I hear a little sneeze?
It must be a major cancerous disease
Well they don't go out and they won't let you in but
I looked through the letter box
I caught 'em smiling
Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Or is this your lot?
You've got your 2.4 but no number ten
Is this the final straw?
The Robertsons are dying on their floor
There's nowhere left to hide!
Bring on the suicide...
You're like the Aryan race
You're the perfect disgrace
Lying on your death bed it's the comfiest place
So lie on your back
A Kamikaze hypochondriac
It won't be long before you're dying of boredom
Dying of boredom there
Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Or is this your lot?
You've got your 2.4 and no number ten
Is this the final straw?
The Robertsons are dying on their floor
There's nowhere left to hide!
Bring on the suicide...
Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Or is this your lot?
You've got your 2.4 but no number ten
Is this the final straw?
The Robertsons are dying on their floor
There's nowhere left to hide!
Bring on the suicide...
9. Bird in a Cage
I'm so glad
I've left your fantasy
A life dependant
On some unachievable dream
I was the fool that followed
Too slow to cotton on
I was blind like Eva Braun
You could do no wrong
Why did you keep me
Like a bird in a cage?
You should have known
You couldn't lock me up at that age
I'm a fledgling
Can't you see I wanna fly?
I'm too young to die!
My red carpet
Was your propagation place
Naïvely rolled out
By my adolescent taste
Conditioned by a one-man cult
I thought I needed no-one else
My mind was infiltrated
I didn't know myself
Why did you keep me
Like a bird in a cage?
You should have known
You couldn't lock me up at that age
I'm a fledgling
Can't you see I wanna fly?
I was too young to die!
I can't believe I played your game
I entertained your thoughts
And then drove myself insane
Sucked in by your crocodile tears
So stupid I carried your fears
I'm so glad I've let go
Well now at last
I feel so far removed
It's all so obvious
I see your each your every move...
But I feel free, whereas you
You're stuck in your guilt
Because of me
Well get used to it baby 'coz
I've thrown away your key!
Why did you keep me
Like a bird in a cage?
You should have known
You couldn't lock me up at that age
I'm a fledgling
Can't you see I wanna fly?
I was too young to die!
10. I Call the Tune
I used to wanna walk with you
I used to wanna make
All your dreams come true
But now I try to move away
With endless dates
I'd better draft one in for the weekend
A new pair of eyes
Some temporary flattery
Time for me to recharge
My sexual battery
But then a good friend said to me
Alice, you're so fucking naïve
Life isn't just for Adam & Eve
It's time to cultivate
You're responsible for your destiny...
You've gotta find you
It's time for you to call your tune
You've gotta find you
So I make a new mix tape for my car
I laugh with my friends
After burning all your second-rate poetry
(A John Lennon wannabee)
'Two branches of one tree'
Become nothing
But a dark, distant memory
I've honoured you for way too long
My brother's right
My thoughts don't belong to you
And nor does my song
So here's a promise, this is the last one
You're yesterday's news
It's time for me to call my tune
You're yesterday's news
11. Wonderland
I am alone
An independent creature
I feel scared
It's like I've just been born
I can't run
'Coz there's nowhere for me to hide
I can't cry
'Coz there's no one to hear
I mustn't falter
Stay focused on the graven image
Never look back
With a selective memory
I've got to...
Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream
Full of beautiful creatures
Gotta drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass
With nothing to consider
Gotta take me back to Wonderland
All the new faces
And endless systematic changes
Prevent my thoughts
From belonging to you
Last night's dreams
They were full of inspiration
I saw the sun was setting
It was setting on you
Today at dawn
I woke up with a smile
I saw the sun was rising
It was rising on me
I've got to
Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream
Full of beautiful creatures
Gotta drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass
With nothing to consider
Gotta take me back to Wonderland
And I will see you there
As I drift on by
As I remember our sunshine...
We've a permanent legacy
Chiselled on stone
But now it's time to move on
I'm moving
Moving, moving on
I've got to...
Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream
Full of beautiful creatures
Gotta drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass
With nothing to consider
Gotta take me back to Wonderland
Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I have gone
12. Runway
If you'd meant nothing
It wouldn't be so hard
If you'd been normal
Then you wouldn't think
It was cool to be sad
You said you want the end
But you don't want it
You tried to keep me in line
You tried to keep me in toe
Well you know there's problems
If your hero is a Nazi
You've made your bed
Now it's time to wake up
Because this is the end
The final part has been played
This is the end
I've felt our love fade
This is the end, the end
This is the end for you
This is the end for you
But I will always shine
And I will always remain
'Coz I am on the runway smiling
As I watch you fade away
I will always shine
And I will always remain
I can feel you breaking your
Heart on mine with regret
But I'm on the runway now
Living my dreams
So I'm good for a few things, huh?
Like sex, money and rock and roll
You're so self-righteous
Full of indecision
So many dreams
But you've got no vision
In your virtual world
With your virtual mind
And your virtual friend
You chose to let inside
This is pathetic fallacy
I see no personality
You've made your bed
Now it's time to wake up
Because this is the end
The final part has been played
This is the end
I've felt our love fade
This is the end, the end
This is the end for you
This is the end for you
But I will always shine
And I will always remain
'Coz I am on the runway smiling
As I watch you fade away
I will always shine
And I will always remain
I can feel you breaking your heart on
Mine with regret
But I'm on the runway now
Living my...
I will be flying, yeah
You will be crying... give a fuck!
I will be flying, living my...
Whilst you
You'll be crying, dying, wishing
That you hadn't screwed me over
I will always shine
And I will always remain
'Coz I am on the runway smiling
As I watch you fade
I will always shine
And I will always remain
I can feel you breaking your
Heart on mine with regret
But I'm on the runway now
Living my dreams
I'm on the runway living my dreams
I'm on the runway living my dreams
I'm on the runway now
And I can't wait to see
What my life brings :)
