"Speak only the words of the dead" (repeated in background)
Where's the future ?
Where can the future be ?
Where can the future be when the present's never given the chance ?
Speak only
the words of those who've died hundreds of years ago.
"Who said that ?"
I don't know. It must've been Beethoven or Shakespeare ...
So I must be talking shit.
I'm not dead yet.
I've got no right to be heard.
I haven't been dead for seven hundred years.
My name ain't Einstein, Shakespeare or Leonardo Da Vinca.
Bow in deference.
Life ain't for the living,
and as Aristotle would have said
"Fuck off"
But he don't anymore,
'Cause he's dead.

I don't care
You'll never catch me there
Without you
Without you
All the times
We've seen around before
I never once didn't once know what it was
(Note : The above line removed from the recording)
If you want to be there (If you'll be there)
You'll find me where we were
and if you don't (and if you're done)
then where were you
Where were ya, where were ya
(Of) All the times I've seen the look in your face
Lost in lines (lives) of forever
Forever
Forever

Jeremy Irons my underpants,
he irons them all night long.
I tell him that it will not do,
but still he carries on.
Jeremy Irons my underpants.
I'm not wrong.
I've told he many times before,
I've no legs,
I'm a spring,
I'm gone.
Still Jeremy irons my underpants.
We'll just have to get along
... with it

Bags of money, no time,
"I don't know what I'm doing it for"
Bags of money, no time,
What you living for ?
Bags of money, no time,
Don't do it anymore.
(Anything, no, no, yeah, yeah).
Blow it all away now.
Never enough, never enough.
"Play that funky music"
Fuck up.
Go the fuck away.
"Get the Knickers down"
Blow the fuck away.
(Here we go).
Don't be so surprised when someone's coming with a gun.
It'll be one of the dispossessed, who's lives are stolen.
Met with an all knowing
silence from the likes of you.
Welcome to the Hell Pit.
Although they 'can't help it'
So welcome to the Hell Pit.
"Kill 'em all"
Just another name.
Just another way.
Art Carnage.
Art Carnage.

Here we are.
Here we'll always be.
The whole world is right here in the street.
No need for anything else, is all there's gonna be.
Like a goldfish bowl, the colours singular.
Filtered through a fish-eye lens.
Swimming around and back again, going nowhere.
Going nowhere. Going nowhere.
Just swimming round, going nowhere.
Here we are, is all there is to see.
All the world's right here in this goldfish bowl
is all there is to see.
Just stay right here with me.
Don't look beyond the end of the street.
The mental enclave.

All drained out.
Vampires need their flames snuffed out.
Let's retrace the things I never wanted to see at all.
Burn the skies from the eyes of man.
Make sure you kill it all dead.
Don't leave any sign of truth left undead.
Make sure you're louder than anything else
even when you're whispering.
May you all find what you seek,
there's nothing but brighter lights echoing,
brighter lights echoing,
than you.

Cut them all up into little pieces
as they always demand.
Again and again and again
again and again.
Love of creation
Denial.
Destruction of human lives must stop
and if they demand that it takes it to be stopped stone dead,
Good night.
