Ambient Headroom

A blank face and eyes Lazy indifference You’d be surprised At her level of malcontent Averting her gaze Is her only self-defence I wonder why It all seems so commonsense She bites her lip Stares into space Looks down Then turns away I don’t know why Some other day It might have been different Some other time She might have been quite content To have me there By her side To share To watch her smile But I don’t care I don’t care I don’t know What I could change For her It’s all the same She walks away

It’s not your house It’s just your heart Come let me see Let me see Let me see You know one day You will be free There’s no helping them Do as you please ‘Cause everyone Everyone Must be free He loves me Keep a light head Keep a light head

If you want to keep the bloat away Keep your feet on the ground Don’t let your legs sway Torn pages from magazines Neurotic women making public scenes You know you ain’t got a lot You’d better stock up now And hope it lasts A world of temptations A party wardrobe A coterie of friends is a heavy load Ask yourself what Jesus would do If he was here right now Looking at you It don’t matter what you want That blonde on your couch She ain’t gonna last Broken teeth and a bad attitude It ain’t what you are It’s the path you choose My head’s bursting My tongue explodes As they crank up the power on my electrodes It don’t matter what they want You’d better call it green And flog it fast Calves going from birth to burger Gulp it down Go a little bit further Clean lines in digital heaven Multi-coloured dazzle Just a flash in the pan You know it ain’t what I want You can keep the kid I’ll take the car! Burning Zeros don’t fix the past Got a Buddha on my back And my arse up a mast A wooden gator with a great gait Juggling fish, a dog And a birthday cake You know it ain’t what you got You’d better pawn the lot And forget the past Anything’d be better than this But if it can’t be changed Then I couldn’t care less It ain’t enough I lost that feeling Now it’s single-digit inflation My head is reeling You know it ain’t what I want You’d better cut me loose What’s a guy to do? What’s a guy to do? What’s a guy to do? What’s a guy to do? What’s a guy to do?

Eternally 03:00
You know I’ll always be there Be there night and day I’ll always be behind you Watching what you do and say Everything I do is for you Don’t ever think I’ll go away You know I’m not lying When I say This love of mine for you is true You know there’s no denying it My words to you This love of mine for you is true There’s no tomorrow When I gaze into your eyes My loneliness, my sorrow Fade into the sky There won’t ever be another You’re never gonna leave my side You know I’m not lying When I say This love of mine for you is true You know there’s no denying it My words to you This love of mine for you is true They’re coming for me I hear the men at the door With you here right beside me Nothing’s ever felt so sure Helicopters and sirens It don’t matter any more

Segue 06:03
¡Que hermosa es Usted! Sí, eres mi corazón Te amo con ternura Y viene un ventarrón ¡Sí, le hace la barba! Te quiero con frenesí ¿Por que eres tan esquiva? ¡Oh lárguese de aquí! ¡Lárguese de aquí! ¡Anda! Nunca te he engañado Sí, el chico es guanajo Mucho ruido y pocas nueces Le falta un tornillo Habla hasta por los codos Le falta un tornillo Sí, un tornillo Le falta un tornillo

When the light comes through the curtain She turns and sees that look in his eye What’s left when faith is gone And love just feels like a lie? But now those days have gone Resentment’s all she feels deep inside She lays back and stares at the wall And thinks about how her life just floats by Light shines on the cracks in the wall The torn curtain shows a glimpse of the sky

Satori hit me at the picture show Reading credits from the back row You spend your life looking for someone When all you want is fun There are days I forget my name Can’t show my feelings or I’ll go insane I get a feeling things move too slow I just wanna go Know what I mean? You know what I mean Know what I mean? You know what I mean So she ain’t exactly Sheryl Crow Can’t afford to be fussy though To give her up would be a crying shame Thing’s wouldn’t be the same Life’s as classy as a rugby scrum And the people are just as dumb She’s done more drugs than I want to know But in the dark it don’t show Know what I mean? You know what I mean Know what I mean? You know what I mean Throw your street cred down the drain It ain’t dizzy or insane I’ll probably end up a drunken bum But it won’t matter to anyone Know what I mean? You know what I mean Know what I mean? You know what I mean Know what I mean? You know what I mean Know what I mean? You know what I mean

You can say just what you want But it don’t matter to me Preaching double standards You’re just too blind to see You can’t see the light of day But you carry on as if you do anyway Telling me what to think and say As if you think I’m gonna play You think with a suit and smile You’ll do just fine Walk the walk and make the talk And signify You step on people all down the line Think you’ll reach the promised land with your lying? It ain’t gonna help you When you’re dying You can say just what you want But it don’t matter to me Preaching double standards You’re just too blind to see So you went to the right school Read all the right books Take as much care with your thoughts As with your looks Put me under the microscope Try to treat me like a joke Poke around for anomalies Because I don’t fit Have to watch what I say Or you’ll get frantic For you it’s third millennium blandness Android head expansion Mass-consumer abandon Forty-five channels is what you want When forty just won’t do You can say just what you want But it don’t matter to me Preaching double standards You’re just too blind to see Just too blind to see You think we’re all here to be bought and sold Treated like dirt when we grow old Brushed aside and trampled on And taxed till we die You can say just what you want But it don’t matter to me Preaching double standards You’re just too blind to see You can say just what you want It don’t matter to me Preaching double standards You’re too blind to see Too blind to see Too blind to see Too blind to see

He roams all over town Tracking slabs of vinyl down When he’s hunting don’t cross his path You don’t want to deal with the aftermath He’s a vinyl hunter Always out to make a find He’s a vinyl hunter Normal folk think he’s out of his mind He was married a year ago Till she said she liked Barry Manilow He didn’t really need her Didn’t cry when she was gone Didn’t even miss her Now he’s got more time with his stereo It’s not enough that he’s already got Twenty thousand or more It’s a dirty addiction That’s eating him to the core He’s gotta have more! He’s gotta have more! He’s gotta have more! And more and more! And more and more! When you see him get out of his way You really don’t want to make his day He roams all over town Tracking slabs of vinyl down

Medved 01:18
V gozdu je vse mirno. Sonce blesti, ptici pojejo in reka teče tiho. Pri reki gleda rjav medved ribico. Medved je lačen ampak nima možnosti pojesti ribice. Zakaj? Zato ker je bil on sam plen lovca s puško. Ko se je medved zbudil, je videl okoli sebe majhno kletko. V kletki je bilo možno narediti pet korakov naprej in pet korakov nazaj. Medved je bil ujetnik v živalskem vrtu. Po mnogo letih so uradniki v živalskem vrtu sklenili, da izpustijo medveda. Medved je bil zopet v gozdu, kjer je vse mirno. Sonce je blestelo, ptici so peli in reka je tekla. In kaj se potem naredil medved? On je stopil pet korakov naprej in pet korakov nazaj.
