Build your temple,
Point your temple at the sky,
For there lies things,
More potent than you or I.
Follow the people,
And help their charities and schools,
Live in relative, be selfless,
Don't dirty up the pool.
And you don't love your car, you just love the way that people want to steal it.
And you don't love your wife, you just love the look on your neighbour's face.
I'll point my temple,
At a child with dreams,
I'll point my temple,
At a starving artist.
I'll follow no one,
But only mine own self,
For men like me were made to
Build and not to help.
And you don't love your car, you just love the way that people want to steal it.
And you don't love your wife, you just love the look on your neighbour's face.
And I'm not superman, but I'm still a man.
Are you happy superman?
Are you happy?

Proximity
05:42

Remember when you spoke to me about running away,
To some old distant land; we could scarcely understand what you were trying to say,
Then you took my hand as if to say, we'd no more need for words,
But where are they now? They make no difference to us now.
Then asking me if I'd remember us standing on the pier,
When I was an old man; I could scarcely understand.
I cannot tell you things I don't understand,
Can you tell me quick, tell me please, are you close to me?
I cannot tell you all the things I need to,
Are you really close to me, or is all we have proximity?
I tried to find you in the crowd,
I ran and ran and when I finally caught up,
And you were knocked down, in the street,
I thought that you were dead, I thought you were gone.
But when I awoke, and it was all a dream,
We were only seventeen, back in your bed with your parents gone,
The light was off, you told me to leave it on.
And then I realised it was just another dream,
Show me something that's right, show me something that's real, show me something I can feel,
I struggled and struggled til I finally came to, caught in the net of our drug,
Asleep in our dream, I never wanted to wake up.
I cannot tell you all the things I need to,
Are you really close to me, or is all we have proximity?
When I said what have you done for me lately,
I knew when I said it, that we would regret it,
But let's not forget it, let's not forget it now.
When we danced it was almost perfect,
When we laughed, I was broken.
Moving in the right direction,
I think that I know the way.
I cannot tell you all the things I need to,
Were you really close to me, or is all we had proximity?

My Favourite Apple
05:37
|

Let’s take off our clothes,
Like only we know,
Go down to the lake,
And make the same mistake.
My favourite apple,
Off my favourite tree,
I'm dying to see you.
Release me.
Come up and eat me,
And I’ll be there too,
You can watch my leaves fall,
And I’ll watch you too.
And back again,
Just like old friends,
Like the ones we used to know.
Should I stay or should I go.
My favourite apple,
Off my favourite tree,
I'm dying to see you.
Release me.
Come up and eat me,
And I’ll be there too,
You can watch my leaves fall,
And I’ll watch you too.
It’s nothing more it’s nothing less,
Our favourite game at our own expense,
It’s nothing more it’s nothing less,
Just our favourite game.
Come up and eat me,
And I’ll be there too,
You can watch my leaves fall,
And I’ll watch you too.
It’s nothing more it’s nothing less,
Our favourite game at our own expense,
It’s nothing more it’s nothing less,
Our favourite game, our favourite game.

Pause

Come and watch me throw some bodies in the river,
That flows filth down to the dead dry lake,
We'll sit and watch those golden beasts paw the ground,
Cos I've got an inkling, I've got an inkling that them bodies ain't ever gonna be found.
In times of dreams I cannot wake,
There's another me across the lake,
Drowning in morphine and tattered gauze,
Can this be just a melody without a pause?
Was I asleep for forever or two seconds?
But when I woke, the gatekeeper beckoned,
Listen out for the womb, can you hear the trembling sound?
Cos I've got a feeling, I've got a feeling that these dreams of mine, they make the world go round.
In my dreams the world it's waiting for me to take,
Mine to create or to unmake,
Subject to no rules and no laws,
Can this be just a melody without a pause?
Goodbye my shadow, you're coughing lung,
Just a bag of bones and bleeding gums,
Don't come to the river, for you will surely slip,
I can't tear the chains out from your lips.
In times of dreams I cannot wake.
In times of dreams I cannot wake,
There's another me across the lake,
Drowning in morphine and tattered gauze,
Can this be just a melody without a pause?
