she exerts a pull upon my personality
like the way the moon exerts a pull upon the sea
no nothing's gonna save the world but we might be alright
no nothing's gonna save the world but we might have a good time
but she's long gone

i start to worry that you might think that you're in love
it's getting to be about time that we hurt each other
keep it on the straight and narrow
keep it on a level we can understand
yeah pain and solitude
it's low maintenance everybody loves it
i start to worry that you might think you're falling in love with me
that won't do
it won't go down well in posterity
that's what we do it for
posteritee-hee-hee
is what we do it for
oh yeah

Downbeat

you can rise against
closed fist and all
and they will beat you down
or you can cower low
servile and chained
and they will beat you down
you can be yourself
live free and strange
and they will beat you down
or you can tow the line
you can be the same
and they will beat you down
we are cogs on a wheel and pawns on a board
insignificant and we can be ignored
we will be ignored just like we are ignored now
you can tremble at death
pretend that nothings dies
and they will beat you down
or you can push yourself to die in record time
and they will beat you down
we are cogs on a wheel and pawns on a board
insignificant and we can be ignored
we will be ignored just like we are ignored now
you can deprecate in shallow modesty
and they will beat you down
or you can fool yourself and swell with unearned pride
and they will beat you down

i don't want to read your poems
and it's not because they are bad
it's because i don't really care
if you are feeling sad
i don't want your exhibition
and it's not because your paintings suck
it's because they're about how you feel
and i don't give a fuck
i don't want to read your poems
it's not (just) because they are bad
it's because i just do not care that you are feeling sad

mr wilkinson can't even water his plants
without injecting himself with cocaine
he can't go to the shops to buy cheese and eyedrops
without sticking a spike in his vain
he once had a lady but she left him for a binman
she was used to the junk in her life
and he made her a vow
which is meaningless now
as he's halving some pills with a knife
mr wilkinson doesn't know what he wants at three in the morning
and which of us do
oh he goes into town dripping sweat from his brow
his head hanging low to protect from the crowd
with his hair like a clown's and his mouth in a frown
he starts at small sounds shiny eyes full of doubt
he walks past the chemist three times looking shifty
and he finally steels up his nerve
but they know what he's there for and they've studied his picture
no way is he going to get served
but mr wilkinson doesn't know what he wants at three in the morning
and which of us do

From Home

it's a bitter little road and i know you'll find it hard
over yonder she looks beyond her
another voyage starts
and carry dunedin like a stone around your neck
it's an awful place to live in but a great place to have left
it doesn't matter where you're doing if you like what you do
and we'll look out for you
dim cafes and cobblestones, safe european homes
it's still bourgeois but alive
from a pompous education town to minarets and undergrounds
with courage and shit well she'll just have to strive
and carry dunedin like a stone around your neck
it's an awful place to live in but a great place to have fled
it doesn't matter where you're doing if you like what you do
and we'll look out for you
