Did you hear the child scream?
No, he doesn’t want to be on T.V.
Did you hear the child scream?
No, he doesn’t want to be someone who sings…
And his parents have just said that for him the sky is the limit,
No they don’t understand what they’re saying,
And his parents have just said that for him the sky is the limit,
No they don’t understand what’s happening.
Did you hear the child say
That he wants to be an astronaut someday?
Did you hear the child say
That he wants to be an astronaut someday?
And his parents have just said that for him the sky is the limit,
No they don’t understand what’s happening,
And his parents have just said that for him the sky is the limit,
No they don’t understand what they’re saying.
They did not hear the child’s cries,
Their ignorance fed the fear that stole his life.
They did not hear the child cry,
Their ignorance fed the fear that stole his life.
And the kid has just one thought, and that’s to be an astronaut,
But these voices knock him down and hinder him….

Crack The City Lights

Well every time you,
you close your eyes,
well I pray that you see my face
and that you ask why,
these great things keep happening to you
Oh because you know that they do
like I know for me they don't
For instance why hasn't my winning scratch card come along?
And oh and the fortune of picking a line,
comes with shortness of the breath
and I've been told of darker times
of which the lactic takes a step
to give you hell, is there a sign?
do you have to guess when its time to go to bed yeah,
or do you just know?
Well every time you,
you turn your head
from this utopia i hope you know,
this soma don't touch what I can get,
she said "I cracked the city lights already today my friend
And oh and the fortune of picking a line,
comes with shortness of the breath
and I've been told of darker times
of which the lactic takes a step
to give you hell, is there a sign?
do you have to guess when its time to go to bed yeah,
or do you just know?
It knew you'd come back,
so it left out a key,
under the welcome matt, I suppose it show's that
fate's got a funny way,
of saying that he's sorry,
but the 327 bus can't take me where I'm going tonight..!"

Well it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe,
If you don't know by now
Well it aint no use to sit and wonder why, babe
Cos it'll never do any harm
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I’ll be gone
You’re the reason that I’m trav’lin’ on
So don’t think twice, cos it’s all right
And it ain't no use in turning on your lies babe
Like that I would never know
And it ain't no use in turning on your lies
Cos I'm on the dark side of this road
Still I wish there was somethin’ you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
But no, we never did too much talkin’ anyway
So don’t think twice, it’s all right
And it ain't no use in calling out my name babe
Like you've never done before
And it ain't no use in calling out my name, oh babe
Cos I cant hear any more
Oh well I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wond’rin’
Well I'm walking down the road
Well I once loved a woman, a child I’m told
Well I give her my heart but she wanted my soul
So don’t think twice, it’s all right
So long, honey babe
Where I'm now I cant tell
And goodbye is just too good a word, ah babe
So ill just say fare-thee-well
Well I ain't sayin' you treated me unkind
But you coulda done better, well, see I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
So don’t think twice, cos it’s all right
So don’t think twice, cos it’s all right

Formaldehyde

There’s an avalanche of things to come,
So you’ve boarded up your house and you have bought a new gun,
I will find my religion on my deathbed no doubt,
But you’ll be always on the run…
Now you know just how things go down,
So now you have just a little insight.
For all we lost when our hearts went to town and never came back,
Well I just don’t give a shite…
Oh, don’t you know,
When you’re skipping down the road,
Through an ally made of gold,
Can’t you think what you have done?
Oh, now’s the time,
To be running for your life,
Leaving babycakes inside,
Cos you know that it’s better than none.
Sustained life off Of Flora & Fauna,
Rewards more than just flesh,
I can’t see past just banishing this burden,
To put its value to the test…
Now you know just how things go down,
So now you have just a little insight.
For all we lost when our hearts went to town and never came back,
Well I just don’t give a shite…
Oh, and it’s true,
When the raconteurs through,
You’ll be gasping for a few,
As though you were really there.
Oh, he’ll be calm,
As he reaches out his arm,
To pull you in safe from harm,
And end this nightmare.
Whilst in deep sleep you slowly start to sink,
And your body declines…
Into a state ready to be embalmed,
In Formaldehyde.

Several Pairs Of Socks

Well if you're caught in the crossfire
of a turbulent blaze,
and all sorts of trouble
we crumble to rubble and pray,
but if I see you pray
ill have your guts for garters and heads on a plate
A-ha-ha!
I've been taught that a man's defeat
is measured in blood,
from fabled aggression
to the aforementioned,
my bones,
well they start to rust,
and as for the blood I've lost pints of the stuff
a-ha-ha!
I've been wearing several pairs of socks
to fill out your shoes,
I get chucked back and forth oh
like clothes from your wardrobe
so if, I choose,
to act like a fool
then that's just what I'll do
A-ha-ha!
