This house is full of inner organs exploding Pools of sweat in the bed, every morning The granddads aren’t breathing anymore Just like the grannies and the man next door Looks like the doctors have run out of cures My friends are in the cold ground Or have been scattered in the moors Any good news? A brighter side? Any good news? Well, the weather's looking fine The coffee is black, darker than ever Brother is a ghostly creature Haunts me at night Grabs my ankles on the stairs Keeps me awake when he can Dystopian days lead to worse nights Any good news? A brighter side? Any good news? Is there still time? I wanna know Is there beauty up the road A better place to go Where the horrors just lay low? Cause I’ve had enough Bad news is like a drug That I can’t resist to touch Like the coffee in my cup It has become darker than ever I pour it out down the kitchen sink And I sit and try to think Of all that will be(come) better Of what gives me some pleasure And all I think of is the weather And the weather Is looking fine

Damn Nation 03:07
Information please do justice to the facts spread out before me There's nothing wrong with her tricks but they just really bore me I know the truth anyway Her body is not an object Dignity is always on patrol I would like to be the suspect at the centre of it all Gloria didn’t want to play Street parking space stations reject every penny I use Even rules have limitations I'm registered to be refused I sign my letters blank, I spell my name backwards I got no money in the bank for what that’s worth I got no bills to pay ‘Cause I am on my way I am on my way to Damn Nation

In full effect I hear you In full effect you're coming through In full effect In full effect I get it In full effect, it’s voodoo In fact it's you This fuzz is what you was and always will be In full effect you fool, we fool mortality In full effect you split my brains In full effect, yeah down my veins In full effect In full effect I feel you heavy In full effect, and I can’t complain In full effect This fuzz is what you was and always will be In full effect you fooled, we fooled mortality This fuzz is what you was and always will be

Light Rain 03:42
My nails break on tiles, the snails walk on by It's the nomadic life I long to live My head's in the hedge, trying to fetch What I cannot catch Time I missed out on that As the clock kept ticking away, my head wasn't at play and the minutes drifted away into a void, a void in my memory Where is my mind? There are stains on my knees from digging the mud for the moments lost Will they ever come out? I can’t remember the moment, the time we met, our greatest trip, or when we wed, when you gave birth I can't remember it How could I forget? Where is my mind?!

Deaf Ears 02:50
I weep for I have lost you, in oh so many ways Your temper, evil tricks, and that smile on your face No trace is left to see but a shell of yourself Where have you gone, my hero, my friend? I know it seems absurd but I thought I heard your voice Coming through the air while I was playing with the boys "Turn the speakers up, turn them up real loud" I thought I heard you say, but it was the strangest sound I shout out your name, but it falls on deaf ears I shout out your name, now that death is here You're not that far away, just slightly out of sight You're within my reach, forever by my side An echo from the past, a sonic satellite Your soul fills the room, a never fading light I shout out your name, cause I know you will hear I shout out your name, now that death is here

Forever Man 02:50
More or less feeling low, Not as low as you though What a terrible way to let go But soon you'll be grateful for being released Soon you’ll be grateful, and you will be at peace You're going down with a grin on your face You’re going down with grace I stop and think about the things we did Joy predominates looking back on it Well ain’t it wonderful, ain’t it great I wanna hold on but it’s too late You are gone and free now You are gone forever Goodbye, forever man
