Books are burning in the main square. And I saw there, the fire eating the text. Books are burning in the still air. And you know where they burn books, people are next.
Boarded up. Yeah, we're boarded up. Nailed up shut. Yeah, we're boarded up. . Music venue has had its day. Death watch beetle band moved in to play. Groups don't come down from London way.
Blue overall. Overall the rooftops blue birds fly apart. Blue overall. Overall the bones that cage this stupid heart. Got blues drawing crosses on my front door.
(co-written by andy partridge and tracey bryn of voice of the beehive). . Silver lining changed to grey skies. When a red-eyed angel waved goodbye. In my lifetime, I may find him once again to my surprise.
Life is sometimes shorter than you think. So take yourself a hike from the kitchen sink. Me, I like to roam. Wasn't built in a day. And night throws the stars in our way.
When your love's flown out the window,. And the pain comes through the door.. Once again you've missed the boat,. And you're stranded on the shore.. And you find out that what you had,.
Push me off to start the fun. On a bike ride to the moon. Lots of room for everyone. On a bike ride to the moon. And we'll bring back cheese for my Auntie Jane.
It's your big day, your big day. So you want to tie the knot. Tie it tight, don't let it rot, the memory of this day. Are you deafened by the bells. Could be heaven, could be hell.
Beatown. I spoke to your boss this morning. He asked why you weren't home?. I said sir they left without warning. You won't even get them on the telephone.
Do you know what noise awakes you. Every morning from your bed. A-coming from the farthest hillside. A-coming from inside your head. . You have heard.
Battery brides, have you ever tried. To break out of your waiting room. And find yourself a waiting groom. Battery brides, battery brides. . She left school with a million others.
Orange and lemon. Raincoats roll and tumble. Together, just liked fruit tipped from a tray. Pineapple wet heads. Watch new hairdos crumble. As scenery sunlight shifts away.

I was just thinking about you today. And the evening we slept in the mountains. But I cannot get through to you, find words to say to you. Darling you're so far away..
Warm as the sun. You were the one who outshone me. In the darkness, everyone went away. You were the one who adored me. . And it's so hard to say goodbye to you.
No catch, no strings. None of the usual things. I'm happy just to lay and look. Let's throw out the book. Now we're off the hook. And please just be nice to me.
I wear the red shoes. With the holes. To remind me. What we went through. Sit down here. Kick 'em off enough. Not had enough of you. I tell you. You know.
All the unknown tragedies. That you've been through, I can see. Are your unknown qualities. . All the things you've never told. Honey, you don't have to own them.
