Welcome to Gaia! ::

I told you, caps is cheating.

Fitter, happier, more productive,
comfortable,
not drinking too much,
regular exercise at the gym
(3 days a week),
getting on better with your associate employee contemporaries,
at ease,
eating well
(no more microwave dinners and saturated fats),
a patient better driver,
a safer car
(baby smiling in back seat),
sleeping well
(no bad dreams),
no paranoia,
careful to all animals
(never washing spiders down the plughole),
keep in contact with old friends
(enjoy a drink now and then),
will frequently check credit at (moral) bank (hole in the wall),
favors for favors,
fond but not in love,
charity standing orders,
on Sundays ring road supermarket
(no killing moths or putting boiling water on the ants),
car wash
(also on Sundays),
no longer afraid of the dark or midday shadows
nothing so ridiculously teenage and desperate,
nothing so childish - at a better pace,
slower and more calculated,
no chance of escape,
now self-employed,
concerned (but powerless),
an empowered and informed member of society
(pragmatism not idealism),
will not cry in public,
less chance of illness,
tires that grip in the wet
(shot of baby strapped in back seat),
a good memory,
still cries at a good film,
still kisses with saliva,
no longer empty and frantic like a cat tied to a stick,
that's driven into frozen winter s**t
(the ability to laugh at weakness),
calm,
fitter,
healthier and more productive
a pig in a cage on antibiotics.

WE ALL COME IN FROM THE COLD
WE COME DOWN FROM THE WIRE
AN EVERYBODY WARMS THEMSELVES
TO A DIFFERENT FIRE
WHEN SOMETIMES WE GET BURNED
YOU'D THINK SOMETIME WE'D LEARN
THE ONE YOU LOVE IS THE ONE
THAT SHOULD TAKE YOU HIGHER
YOU AIN'T GOT NO ONE
YOU BETTER GO BACK OUT AND FIND HER

JUST LIKE CHILDREN HIDIN' IN A CLOSET
CAN'T TELL WHAT'S GOIN' ON OUTSIDE
SOMETIMES WE'RE SO FAR OFF THE BEATEN TRACK
WE'LL GET TAKEN FOR A RIDE
BY A PARLOR TRICK OR SOME WORDS OF WIT
A HIDDEN HAND UP A SLEEVE
TO THINK THAT THE ONE YOU LOVE
COULD HURT YOU NOW
IS A LITTLE HARD TO BELIEVE
BUT EVERYBODY DARLIN' SOMETIMES
BITES THE HAND THAT FEEDS

WHEN I LOOK AROUND
EVERYBODY ALWAYS BRINGS ME DOWN
WELL IS IT THEM OR ME WELL I JUST CAN'T SEE
BUT THERE AIN'T NO PEACE TO BE FOUND
BUT IF SOMEONE REALLY CARED,
WELL THEY'D TAKE THE TIME TO SPARE
A MOMENT TO TRY TO UNDERSTAND
ANOTHER ONE'S DESPAIR
REMEMBER IN THIS GAME WE CALL LIFE THAT NO ONE
SAID IT'S FAIR

BREAKDOWN
LET ME HEAR IT NOW
BREAKDOWN
LET ME HEAR IT NOW
YEAH
BREAKDOWN
LET ME HEAR IT NOW
BREAKDOWN
LET ME HEAR IT NOW
GET DOWN WITH YO' BAD SELF
ALRIGHT

I'VE COME TO KNOW THE CLOD
I THINK OF IT AS HOME
WHEN THERE AIN'T ENOUGH OF ME TO GO AROUND
I'D RATHER BE LEFT ALONE
BUT IF I CALL YOU OUT OF HABIT I'M OUT OF LOVE AND
I GOTTA HAVE IT
WOULD YOU GIVE IT TO ME IF I FIT YOUR NEEDS
LIKE WHEN WE BOTH KNEW WE HAD IT
BUT NOW THE DAMAGE'S DONE
AND WE'RE BACK OUT ON THE RUN
FUNNY HOW EV'RYTHING WAS ROSES
WHEN WE HELD ON TO THE GUNS
JUST BECAUSE YOU'RE WINNIN'
DON'T MEAN YOU'RE THE LUCKY ONES

BREAKDOWN
LET ME HEAR IT NOW
BREAKDOWN
YEAH
BREAKDOWN
BREAKDOWN
LET ME HEAR IT NOW

"THERE GOES THE CHALLENGER BEING CHASED
BY THE BLUE BLUE MEANIES ON WHEELS
THE VICIOUS TRAFFIC SQUAD CARS ARE AFTER
OUR LONE DRIVER
THE LAST AMERICAN HERO
THE-THE ELECTRIC SINTAR
THE DEMI-GOD,
THE SUPER DRIVER OF THE GOLDEN WEST!
TWO NASTY NAZI CARS ARE CLOSE BEHIND
THE BEAUTIFUL LONE DRIVER
THE POLICE CARS ARE GETTING CLOSER-CLOSER...
CLOSER TO OUR SOUL HERO IN HIS SOUL MOBILE,
YEAH BABY!
THEY ABOUT TO STRIKE HIM, THEY GONNA GET HIM,
SMASH! RAPE!
THE LAST BEAUTIFUL FREE SOUL ON THIS PLANET

BUT...IT IS WRITTEN IF THE EVIL SPIRIT ARMS
THE TIGER WITH CLAWS
BRAHMAN PROVIDED WINGS FOR THE DOVE
THUS SPAKE THE SUPER GURU"
"DID YOU HEAR THAT"

somewhere I'm not in a force ten gale
swimming in an oil slick
pulled out by the tide
broke over lines, tonadoes eye.
going out o fmy mind, bad ******** vibess.
somewhere I cant hear this noise.
wildlife dying somewher with sunshine.
poisoned or poor no sharp pains or lumps.
a rare species being wiped out scattered far and wide.
eyes open him confused at a loss.
avoiding your gaze were the voices stop.
lightning fuse.
power cut.
on black ice, under floorboards.
just keeping afloat.
somewhwer Im not
just keeping afloat.
fingers dead in the ice
skin burning
watching the growths.
somewhere I cant
just change sides
bumper to bumper
nose to tail
always in my face
tv ariels bendt double, ina force ten gale.
watching someopne elses lights on the gangplank.
ive lost my train of thought, it happens all the time.
dont kno how old iam, tumbling down.
dont recognize us, thinking the wrong thoughts.
shoulkd maybe grow up
somwhere I dont give a ******** Im not under breaking oaks.
pulling up asphalt pulling up rocks.
the roots dig up the road
a blobk of ice
not in a rash doing bad dance.
more rain,sticking rain.
there used to be a field, now thers a lake.
somewhere im not, sandbagging.

no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no
i don't know why you bother
nothing's ever good enough for you
i was there and it wasn't like that
you came here just to start a fight

you had to piss on our parade
you had to shred our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
in a drunken punchup at a wedding.

hypocrite opportunist
don't infect me with your poison
a bully in a china shop
when i turn round stay frozen to the spot.

you had to piss on our parade
you had to shred our big day
you had to ruin it for all concerned
in a drunken punchup at a wedding.

the pointless snide remarks
of hammerheaded sharks
the pot will call the kettle black

in a drunken punchup at a wedding.
no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no no

My, my my, we're treating each other just like strangers
I can't ignore the significance of these changes
But you can't treat it lightly,
And you'll have to face the consequences
All my worst fears are grounded
You have to make the choice between
The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch and me (no, no, no, no)

By this time time I got to looking for a kind of substitute
I can't tell you quite how,
Except that it rhymes with dissolute (oh naughty, naughty):
But my baby's so lazy, she is almost unable
And it's driving me crazy
'Cause her loving's just a fable that we sometimes try,
With passion, to recall...

Send for an ambulance or an accident investigator
He's breathing like a furnace, so
I'll see you later, alligator
He'll set the sheets on fire - mmm, quite a burning lover
Now he'll barbecue your kitten: he is just another learner lover
You have to make the choice between
The Paw Paw Negro Blowtorch and me...

I want to see you smile again
Like diamonds in the dust
The amazing sound of the killing hordes
The day the banks collapse on us

Cease this endless chattering
Like everything is fine
When sorry is not good enough
Sit in the back while no-one drives

So glad you're mine

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today...

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
