You, sir, you're untouchable
And you, sir, you're unstoppable
Outrageously ambiguous, knee-deep and ridiculous
Let's save some face and fool ourselves

You, sir, you're indispensable
And you, sir, you're indestructible
"I is what I aint" they say, and you can't have it any other way
Let's save some face and fool ourselves

Big yourself up, it's all the rage
Hush your mouth, act your age
I know it's good but I'm playing it down

You, sir, you're the things that I hate and the things that hate and you're so disposable
And you, sir, you're so accessible
'Sir' is the narrator here, he's hissing battle plans in my ear:
"Just save some face and fool yourself"




This is a ballad of my private thoughts, this is a ballad of sickening thoughts
Music is nothing, just stands in the background, it's the ringing in your ears when you head hits the pillow, it's the ache in your brain when the nightclub is over

It's ups and downs, ups and downs, take my thoughts, take my thoughts
What to do, what to do? Taking off my trousers and you take off your socks

You can set the night on fire with a disco ball, a razor sharp haircut
A little perfume and a racing pulse, and a Wonderbra

I hear that someone else is doing it for you but, hey now, I was there first

Area 51 is under my bed, extinct in the middle of winter
Yeah, so talented and beautiful, you're one in a million, my teeth shine like dead stars
God is running out, God is running, he sucks on his own sweat, it's been a hard days work

Masturbation is better for girls with imagination

Big Brother keeps me company now



He'll tell you what night life is like, a block of flats
A chav on a bike, a psycho with an ice pick, a pint and a fight
Knives in adolescents all the God damn time
Knives in adolescents all the God damn time

You were such a pretty girl, pretty, pretty, pretty…

Since you went missing you're ink on a milk carton
Since you went missing you’re just ink
And since you went missing you’re just ink
And since you went missing…
The birds are gonna kill us and Judgement Day's gonna be loud and
Rock 'n' roll's never been more over than now

I don't wanna know about your life and you don't wanna know about mine
And I'm not being cruel to be kind but if you ain't cool you ain't mine

I don't wanna know anymore, I want to die to rock 'n' roll
The news is such a bore; I like Sonic Youth and The Fall
I don't wanna know anymore, I want forty million licks
The news is such a bore; I want Blue Velvet and Kubrick

Wonderfully wonderful all the time
Not a second wasted on finding a rhyme
I'll melt the ice caps myself, one match at a time
I'll melt the ice caps myself, one match at a time

Get clever, get clever, get clever and I'll change the world forever
Get clever, get clever, get clever and we’ll change the world together




So you've defined your worth through intelligent satire but this is how it ends
And you've sorted and filed all receipts for this tax year but this is how it ends
A well calculated and thought out budget but this is how it ends
Vitamins, Valium, vanity, something but this is how it ends

And it's another night thinking I should tell her I mean it but I just sit there as she lies on her side

While you were breaking the ice I was breaking a sweat but this is how it ends
Far too much caffeine, too little regret but this is how it ends
You left a casual note, read: "I'll see you later"; this is how it ends
But you pushed down so hard that you broke the paper and this is how it ends
