U2 - Surrender

Oh, the city's alight with lovers and lies
And bright blue eyes.
Oh, the city is bright, it's brighter than day tonight.
(Surrender, surrender)
(Surrender, surrender)

Sadie said she couldn't work out what it was all about
And so she let go.
Now Sadie's on the street and the people she meets you know.

She tried to be a good girl and a good wife
Raise a good family
Lead a good life
It's not good enough
She got herself up on the 48th floor
Gotta find out
Find out what she's living for.

Oh, the city's afire
A passionate flame that knows me by name.
Oh, the city's desire to take me for more and more.
It's in the street gettin' under my feet
It's in the air, it's everywhere I look for you.
It's in the things that I do and say
And if I wanna live I gotta die to myself someday.

Editors - In This Light And On This Evening

I swear to god, I heard the earth inhale,
Moments before it spat its rain down on me.
I swear to god, in this light and on this evening,
London's become, the most beautiful thing I've seen.

I swear to god, I heard the earth inhale,
Moments before it spat its rain down on me.

The Breeders - Divine Hammer

I'm just looking
Just looking for a way around
It disappears this near
You're the rod, I'm water
I'm just looking for the divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer

I'm just looking for one divine hammer
I'd bang it all day
Oh, the carpenter goes bang
Bang bang
I'm just looking for one divine hammer

One divine hammer
One divine hammer

I'm just…

The Cult - Sea and Sky

The boats have sailed away
I stand here on the shore
Can't see them anymore
Can't see them anymore

Waving from afar
To the land called home
Can you come back soon?
We wish we could
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools

And now I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
Born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

Cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools
And cast afloat the sea
Is the ship of fools

Heaven's know why
They went away
They're all aboard
Except for me
Can you come back soon?

We wish we could
We think we've gone too far
On this ship of fools
On this ship of fools
On this ship of fools

And now I walk the shore
Searching for my soul
And born in sea and sky
I was born in sea and sky

In this ship of fools
In this ship of fools
Cast afloat the sea
Is this ship of fools

We think we've gone too far...

Alanis Morissette - Ironic

An old man turned ninety-eight
He won the lottery and died the next day
It's a black fly in your Chardonnay
It's a death row pardon two minutes too late
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Mr. Play It Safe was afraid to fly
He packed his suitcase and kissed his kids goodbye
He waited his whole damn life to take that flight
And as the plane crashed down he thought
"Well isn't this nice..."
And isn't it ironic... don't you think

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Well life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
When you think everything's okay and everything's going right
And life has a funny way of helping you out when
You think everything's gone wrong and everything blows up
In your face

A traffic jam when you're already late
A no-smoking sign on your cigarette break
It's like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife
It's meeting the man of my dreams
And then meeting his beautiful wife
And isn't it ironic...don't you think
A little too ironic...and, yeah, I really do think...

It's like rain on your wedding day
It's a free ride when you've already paid
It's the good advice that you just didn't take
Who would've thought... it figures

Life has a funny way of sneaking up on you
Life has a funny, funny way of helping you out
Helping you out

Pearl Jam - Off He Goes

Know a man...his face seems pulled and tense...
Like he's riding on a motorbike... in the strongest winds
So I approach with tact... suggest that he should relax...
But he's always moving much too fast...

Said he'll see me on the flipside... of this trip he's taken for a ride
He's been takin'... too much on... off he goes
With his perfectly... unkept clothes... there he goes...

He's yet to come back...but I've seen his picture
Doesn't look the same up on the rack...we go way back...

I wonder bout his insides...
Its like his thoughts are too big for his size
He's been taken... where? I don't know... off he goes
With his perfectly... unkept hope... there he goes...

And now I rub my eyes... for he has returned
Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...
For he still smiles... and he's still strong
Nothing's changed, but the surrounding bullshit... that has grown

And now he's home... and we're laughing...
like we always did... my same old... same old friend

Until a quarter-to-ten... I saw the strain creep in...
He seems distracted and I know just what is gonna happen next

Before his first step... he is off again

Explosions In The Sky - Day Six

...

Editors - Formaldehyde

Would you butcher my love
To understand it
To know where it lies?
Cut a hole in my heart
Fill a hole in your life

I'm yours to dissect
Now does every heartbeat
Burn white heat in your blood?
Formaldehyde

The tissue and bone
And my soul has on loan
Begs to be near you
Are you listening carefully?
Then we shall begin

Now does every heartbeat
Burn white heat in your blood?
I hope it doesn't matter
I hope we swim up out of this flood

Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (nothing on my mind)

Smother my love, entertain it
My mind's gonna wander
Are you listening carefully?
Then we shall begin

Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (nothing on my mind)

I'm lost in a love that's a mile wide
Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde

Now does every heartbeat
Burn white heat in your blood?
I hope it doesn't matter
I hope we swim up out of this flood

Of formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (until the end of time)
Formaldehyde (I'll never let you go)
Formaldehyde (nothing on my mind)

I'm lost in a love that's a mile wide
Drowned in a bath of formaldehyde

MGMT - Kids

You were a child
Crawling on your knees toward him
Making momma so proud
But your voice is too loud
We like to watch you laughing
Picking insects off of plants
No time to think of consequences

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

The water is warm
But it's sending me shivers
A baby is born
Crying out for attention
Memories fade
Like looking through a fogged mirror
Decisions too
Decisions are made
Decisions are made and not bought
But I thought this wouldn't hurt a lot
I guess not

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Control yourself
Take only what you need from it
A family of trees wanting to be haunted

Take only what you need from it

The Kills - At The Back Of The Shell

Kiss all your fingers
What's that for
You'll never get to heaven
With your shirt all tore
Cut through your finger
And cut you loose
Lost a lot a blood
Lost a lot a cool cool cool

Now it ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
Now it ain't such a thrill
It get's a little dirty
Like the guts of a hack
And you'll never get it back
You'll never get the damn thing back

Looked a picture
It took up half a roll
The way you went and took off
Half your clothes, and now

It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It started at the back of the shell
And it ain't such a thrill

Running to catch up
The last city bus
Wearing out your yellow
Hula dress
Lipstick a mess
Your ch-cherry best
Kissing on the window
Just to check on the red

You know, it ain't such a thrill
Now it ain't such a thrill
It started at the back of the shell
Now it ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill...

Muse - Starlight

Far away
This ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

Starlight
I will be chasing a starlight
Until the end of my life
I don't know if it's worth it anymore

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

My life
You electrify my life
Lets conspire to ignite
All the souls that would die just to feel alive

I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms

Far away
The ship has taken me far away
Far away from the memories
Of the people who care if I live or die

And I'll never let you go
If you promise not to fade away
Never fade away

Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations, yeah
Our hopes and expectations
Black holes and revelations

Hold you in my arms
I just wanted to hold
You in my arms
I just wanted to hold

System Of A Down - Aerials

Life is a waterfall,
We're one in the river,
And one again after the fall.

Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lose ourselves,
But we find it all?

Cause we are the ones that wanna play,
Always wanna go,
But you never wanna stay,

And we are the ones that wanna choose,
Always wanna play,
But you never wanna lose.

Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.

Life is a waterfall,
We drink from the river,
Then we turn around and put up our walls.

Swimming through the void
We hear the word,
We lose ourselves,
But we find it all?

Cause we are the ones that wanna play,
Always wanna go,
But you never wanna stay,

And we are the ones that wanna choose,
Always wanna play,
But you never wanna lose.

Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.
Aerials, in the sky,
When you lose small mind,
You free your life.
Aerials, so up high,
When you free your eyes,
Eternal prize.

Beck - No Complaints

We are aimless
And the target is an empty wall
We're out of patience
With smiles that cut across her face
No complaints
But I wish I had my top of my brain
I'd like to walk
But the sun doesn't know we're awake

We're in spaceships
Take a visit to the Pyranees
Paid vacations
Send a brochure from the agency
No complaints
But my girlfriend dug a ditch in my room
Walking papers and a hole
Straight out from my shoes

No complaints
But it's harder
To believe in the truth
She'll write a message
On a billboard
And I'll send it to you

We feel painless
Check the status on the info line
In some ways tainted
Radiation from the factory
No complaints
But it's overrated, that's for sure
Take a bus back
From Little Rock, Arkansas
Or Modesto
That's where my drawl comes from

New Order - Guilt Is A Useless Emotion

Just another day in the week
Waiting for an opportunity to step in front of me
Maybe I'm losing my mind
Searching for another place in another time

Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be caught
Real love can't be sold
It's another color than gold

(I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know
(I need you now) My love for you I wanna show
(I want your love) I'm telling you that I belong
(I need your love) You and me just can't go wrong

Standing on top of the world
Thinking of the joy you bring when you do that thing to me
You sure know a lot for a girl
You could bring the good times back get me on the track

Real love can't be bought
It is wild and it can't be caught
Real love can't be sold
It's another color than gold

I need your love) I just wanna buy it
(I need your love) Will you help me find it
(I want your love) How can you deny it
(I need your love) You've just gotta try it
(I want you now) Something that you gotta know

Cocteau Twins - Hitherto

Hidden to your heavy side I couldn't tell your head is so deep
Hidden to her own hidden account I must have let her dame holes

The Mission - Heaven Sends You

I'll kiss the sleep from your eyes
I'll kiss you when the sun goes down
I'll kiss your until sunrise
I'll kiss the skin from your lips

And I'll kiss you on your fingertips
And I'll kiss you on the back of your neck
And I'll kiss you behind your ears
And I'll kiss away your tears and fears
And I'll kiss away those hurting years
And I'll kiss away those cruel dark hours
And I'll kiss the petals on your flower

I'll kiss you, I'll kiss you
I'll kiss you until heaven sends you

I'll kiss you between your toes
I'll kiss you on the bottom of your feet
I'll run my tongue across your back
I'll kiss you behind your naked knees
I'll kiss your breast, I'll drink your milk
I'll run my tongue between your lips
I'll kiss you, kiss you, kiss you on your sex

And I'll take you, take you, take you in my mouth
And I'll kiss you, kiss you until heaven sends you

New Order - 1963

It was January 1963
When Johnny came home with a gift for me
He said "I bought it for you because I love you
And I bought it for you because it's your birthday too"
He was so very nice he was so very kind
To think of me at this point in time
I used to think of him, He used think of me

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw tears were in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me

Oh God Johnny don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me
Johnny don't point that gun at me
Can I save my life at any price?
For God's sake won't you listen to me?

And though he was ashamed that he had took a life
Johnny came home with another wife
And he often remembered how it used to be
Before that special occasion 1963
There was too many ways that you could kill someone
Like in a love affair when the love has gone
He used to think of her, she used to think of him

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me

Oh God Johnny don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me
Johnny you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny won't you listen to me?

He told me to close my eyes
My gift would be a great surprise
I saw hatred in his eyes
He never meant to hurt me

Oh God Johnny don't point that gun at me
There's so many ways our lives have changed
But please I beg don't do this to me

Johnny you keep on using me
Can I change my life for any price?
Oh Johnny won't you listen to me?

I just want you to be mine
I don't want this world to shine
I don't want this bridge to burn
Oh Johnny do you miss me?
I just want to feel free
I will always feel free
I will always feel free
I will always feel free
I will always feel free

Massive Attack - Atlas Air

Yes, shall we take a spin again in business?
This time is fixed, let's sweeten our facilities
It took all the man in me
To be the dog you wanted me to be

Shall we take a spin again, no witnesses?
This time is fixed seven three seven is
You won't feel a thing
Begging until you give it up insane

Fish like little silver knives
Make the cuts on my inside
Yeah, let him feast my heart is big, my heart is big
My blood will slide in metal studs

Tourniquet will hold its groove
Tourniquet will keep its grip
It took all the man in me
To be the dog you wanted me to be

Yeah, let him feast my heart is big
My heart is big, my blood will slide
You let him feast my heart is big
My heart is big, my blood will slide

Got nothing to lose but my chains
Internet feeds on my brains
Head in the sand, feet in the clay
And time is still like grease it slips
Sucking in, spitting pips, yeah, spitting pips

Nothing to lose but my chains
Internet beats on my brains
Head in the sand, feet in the clay
A place to piece, a place to pray

A little money should get me on my feet
This gun of smoke is slaying me
And time is still like grease it slips
Sucking in, spitting pips, yeah, spitting pips

My heart was big and like my pride
Let them feast on my insides
And when the filled had spilled its guts
Gently open then it shuts

I'm in the hole three thousand days
A buried soul
They live the dream in terminal
No war too mean

I know the drill, got cells to burn, I'm dressed to kill
A mortal coil and time is still on secret soil
Yeah, pay the bills, cells to burn, mouths to fill
On Boeing jets in the sunset make glowing threats

Depeche Mode - Sister Of Night

Sister of night
When the hunger descends
And your body's a fire
An inferno that never ends
An eternal flame
That burns in desire's name

Sister of night
When the longing returns
Giving voice to the flame
Calling you through flesh that burns
Breaking down your will
To move in for the kill

Oh sister
Come for me
Embrace me
Assure me
Hey sister
I feel it too
Sweet sister
Just feel me
I'm trembling
You heal me
Hey sister
I feel it too

Sister of night
In your saddest dress
As you walk through the light
You're desperate to impress
So you slide to the floor
Feeling insecure

Sister of night
With the loneliest eyes
Tell yourself it's alright
He'll make such a perfect prize
But the cold light of day
Will give the game away

Oh sister
Come for me
Embrace me
Assure me
Hey sister
I feel it too
Sweet sister
Just feel me
I'm trembling
You heal me
Hey sister
I feel it too

The Clash - Stay Free

We met when we were in school
Never took no shit from no one, we weren't fools
The teacher says we're dumb
We're only having fun
We piss on everyone
In the classroom

When we got thrown out I left without much fuss
An' weekends we'd go dancing
Down Streatham on the bus
You always made me laugh

Got me in bad fights
Play me pool all night
Smokin' menthol

I practiced daily in my room
You were down the crown planning your next move
Go on a nicking spree
Hit the wrong guy
Each of you get three
Years in Brixton

I did my very best to write
How was butlins?
Were the screws too tight?
When you lot get out
Were gonna hit the town
We'll burn it fuckin' down
To a cinder

'Cause years have passed and things have changed
And I move anyway I want to go
I'll never forget the feeling I got
When I heard that you'd got home
An' I'll never forget the smile on my face
'Cause I knew where you would be
An' if you're in the crown tonight
Have a drink on me
But go easy...step lightly...stay free

Interpol - Summer Well

Fevered the plastics that seal your body
They won't stop this way, hey, hey

I was your eye in the night when the prophets fell
I said, "it looks like you summer well"

But I want to stay magical
I want to stay yearning (nobody told you, nobody told you)
I want to feel up on your life
I missed you
But it looks like you summered well

All the while, the protests have shined the same
But you will never have noticed
It's alright

I rely on the process, don't mind the frame
They will never take this dream from me

It's alright
(I need you back)
It's alright
(It's all the way behind us)
It's alright

I miss you, babe
I want you back
The signs we gave
Weren't those signs supposed to last?

The rainy days
The Summer's back
The signs we gave
So what was that?

You know we have ways
To make the seasons touch these ones
So let me take this, cover your eyes
Look away
Until it fades

All the while all the protests that shined the same
But you will never notice
It's alright
I rely on the process, don't mind the frame
They will never take this dream from me

It's alright
(Dream from me)
It's alright
(You sent me)
It's alright
(You sent me)
It's alright
It's alright
It's alright
(You sent me)

Metallica - The Outlaw Torn

And now I wait my whole lifetime for you
And now I wait my whole lifetime for you

I ride the dirt, I ride the tide for you
I search the outside, search inside for you

To take back what you left me
I know I'll always burn to be
The one who seeks so I may find
And now I wait my whole lifetime

        Outlaw of torn
        Outlaw of torn
        And I'm torn

So on I wait my whole lifetime for you
So on I wait my whole lifetime for you

The more I search, the more my need for you
The more I bless, the more I bleed for you

You make me smash the clock and feel
I'd rather die behind the wheel
Time was never on my side
So on I wait my whole lifetime

        Outlaw of torn
        Outlaw of torn
        Outlaw of torn
        And I'm torn

Hear me
And if I close my mind in fear
Please pry it open
See me
And if my face becomes sincere
Beware
Hold me
And when I start to come undone
Stitch me together
Save me
And when you see me strut
Remind me of what left this outlaw torn

dEUS - The Magic Hour

I had a plan, was all made up
An angel was sent, for keeping all troubles away.
'Cause lady and I, we could not stop
As cool as a sigh, as volatile as something you say.

I had a dream, a simple plot
I held out my hand as if she'd never pushed it away.
The sun is still there, except it's not
Beside her I care to linger even though it's not safe.

Godawful I adore you
Angels were there before you
Nothing can stop what we do
It's breaking us up in two.

Hey maybe should we ask it
Could our friends be worthier.
Like things we trust for if we must
We must burn them.
And burn them good, real friends they would
Be understanding if it came to us
And us we must we must turn to
The God of small things.
The God of small things.

I had a plan, was all made up,
As good it was then the magic hour seemed to be fading.
'Cause lady and I we could not stop
As cool as a sigh, as murderous as something you say.

Godawful I adore you
Angels were there before you
Nothing can stop what we do
It's breaking us up in two.

There is room if you can trust
For anyone like us

Suede - Stay Together

Come to my house tonight,
We can be together in the nuclear sky.
We will dance in the poison rain,
We can stay a while in heaven today.

Stay together
And say, these days?

Stay together
Two hearts under the skies remain.

There's a time bomb in the high rise?
There's a blue suburban dream.
Will I see you up in paradise?
Or have you come to touch me?

Come to my arms tonight,
You and me together on electric light.
She will dance in the poisoned air,
Just you and me forever by the motorway?

Stay together
And say, these days?

Come to my arms or not,
Just you and me together in the year of the hawk.
Single file in the nuclear night,
And we can feel a little closer as we tumble through the sky.

Stay together
And say, these days?

Stay together
And say, these days?

The Gathering - Paper Waves

Sun comes out - Wakes me up
Wanna sleep - Need to sleep

Saw your face - In my dreams
Fade away, far away

Fade away, fade away

You took your time - Passing by
Smiles and tears - No one cares

Had you once - Now you’re gone
Want you here - Need you near

Dreams and life it seems
Are crushing boundaries in me
Paper waves and seas - Ride the tide with me

Need to see - You’re not far from me
I’m breaking time - Crossing lines

I start to run to catch the sun
From falling down and burn this town

I try to reach - You slip away
Can’t you stay - Please just stay

Cold and warmth collide
Turning dark and light, inside
Nights we over fly - All logic gone awry

To know we might not meet again, I hardly bare to look at you
In all this mess we don’t complain, we kind of always knew

Björk - Scatterheart

Black night is fallen
The sun has gone to bed
The innocent are dreaming
As you should sleepy-head
Sleepy-head, sleepy-head

All the love above
I send into you
Comfort and protection
I'll watch over you
But don't ask me
What's gonna happen next
I know the future
I'd love to read you the way
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

My
Dearest
Scatterheart
There is comfort
Right in the eye
Of the hurricane
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

All the hurt in the world
You know
There's nothing I'd love to do more
Than spare you from that burden
It's gonna be hard
If I only could
Shelter you
From that pain
Just to make it easier on you

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself
You are gonna have to find out for yourself

The Jesus And Mary Chain - Degenerate

I was a car smash
She was a car smash
We did the car crash

I said the police
I kiss the police
I killed the police man

My mother kill my darkend soul
My mother kill my darkend soul
My mother lit my darkend soul

I got the stone look
I done the stone truck
I got the stoned look in my eye

Disease yeah
A disease yeah
A disease yeah

My lover touch my darkened soul
My lover touch my darkened soul
My lover lit my darkened soul

And now I know just where to go

I was a whore hound
I was a snake hound
I was a coke hound

I was the bad scene
I was the bad gene
I was the bad dream

My lover touch my darkened soul
My lover touch my darkened soul
My lover lit my darkened soul

And now I know just where to go

Metallica - ...And Justice For All

Halls of justice painted green
Money talking
Power wolves beset your door
Hear them stalking
Soon you'll please their appetite
They devour
Hammer of justice crushes you
Overpower

        The ultimate in vanity
        Exploiting their supremacy
        I can't believe the things you say
        I can't believe
        I can't believe the price you pay
        Nothing can save you

                Justice is lost
                Justice is raped
                Justice is gone
                Pulling your strings
                Justice is done
                Seeking no truth
                Winning is all
                Find it so grim
                So true
                So real

Apathy their stepping stone
So unfeeling
Hidden deep animosity
So deceiving
Through your eyes their light burns
Hoping to find
Inquisition sinking you
With prying minds

        The ultimate in vanity
        Exploiting their supremacy
        I can't believe the things you say
        I can't believe
        I can't believe the price you pay
        Nothing can save you

                Justice is lost
                Justice is raped
                Justice is gone
                Pulling your strings
                Justice is done
                Seeking no truth
                Winning is all
                Find it so grim
                So true
                So real

Lady Justice has been raped
Truth assassin
Rolls of red tape seal your lips
Now you're done in
Their money tips her scales again
Make your deal
Just what is truth? I cannot tell
Cannot feel

        The ultimate in vanity
        Exploiting their supremacy
        I can't believe the things you say
        I can't believe
        I can't believe the price you pay
        Nothing can save you

                Justice is lost
                Justice is raped
                Justice is gone
                Pulling your strings
                Justice is done
                Seeking no truth
                Winning is all
                Find it so grim
                So true
                So real

                Seeking no truth
                Winning

The Clash - Remote Control

Who needs remote control?
From the Civic Hall
Push a button
Activate
You gotta work and you're late

It's so grey in London town
Panda car crawling around
Here it comes
Eleven o'clock
Where can we go now?

Can't make no noise
Can't get no gear
Can't make no money
Can't get outta here

Big business, it don't like you
It don't like the things you do
You got no money
So you got no power
They think you're useless
And so you are, punk

They had a meeting in Mayfair
They got you down and wanna keep you there
It makes them worried
Their bank accounts
It's all that matters
You don't count

Can't make no progress
Can't get ahead
Can't stop the regress
Don't want to be dead

Look out, those rules and regulations

Who needs the Parliament?
Sitting making laws all day
They're all fat and old
Queuing for the House of Lords

Repression, gonna start on Tuesday
Repression, gonna be a Dalek
Repression, I am a robot
Repression, I obey
