From the album: Elastica
Lyrics:
Drivel head wears her glad rags
She's got her keys, money and fags
I know that her mind is made up
To get rocked
Drivel head needs a new man
As only a drivel head can
He's a hormonal nightmare
So beware
Another victim of line up in line, line up in line is all I remember
Oh, how the favor has changed, you could've been kinder
Yes, yes, line up in line, line up in line, is all I remember
Oh, how their favors change, you could have been mine
Drivel head knows all the stars
Loves to suck their shining guitars
They've all been right up her stairs
Do you care? No
Drivel head knows all the bands
Knows them like the back of her hands
You can't see the wood for the trees
On your knees
Another victim of line up in line, line up in line is all I remember
Oh, how the favor has changed, you could have been kinder
Yes, yes, line up in line, line up in line is all I remember
Oh, how the favor has changed, you could have been mine

The Lyrics:
By your leave, I think that I'll be going now
I think I've stayed a little long
I looked up all my mother's recipes
I can't think what I did wrong
We go to a restaurant, but you don't like wine
You say it's love you want, but there is no time
I realize, I can see it in your eyes
You keep staring at the floor
I used to look at your school photographs
But I don't have them anymore
I wonder who's in my old college rooms
Or stuck on my old locker door
I dream of the ships at sea, on a stormy night
I wish that it was me, but I wake in fright
I realize, I can see it in your eyes
I've only got myself to blame
Winter kisses when your lips were blue
Like chasing wild geese in the snow
Pressing faces on the window panes
But that's a long long time ago
We go to a restaurant
You say it's love you want
I realize, I can see it in your eyes
You're moving on to something more
The Lyrics:
I can see by your grin
That you're trembling within
It's all over town, cheer down
And the smile on your face
Is sometimes out of place
Don't mind, no frowns, cheer down
If your hair should fall
If your shares should crash
You'll get by even without getting a rash
There's no tears to be shed
I'm going to love you instead
I want you around, cheer down
When your teeth drop out
You'll get by even without taking a bite
If your dog should be dead
I'm going to love you instead
The world loves a clown, cheer down
I want you around, cheer down
With lyrics:
[Verse 1]
The sun shines
And people forget
The spray flies as the speedboat glides
And people forget
Forget they're hiding
The girls smile
And people forget
The snow packs as the skier tracks
And people forget
Forget they're hiding
[Chorus]
Behind an eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put on
It's an eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put on
An eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put on, eminence front
It's an eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put on
It's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on
[Post-Chorus]
Come on join the party, dress to kill
Won't you come and join the party dress to kill
Dress to kill
[Verse 2]
The drinks flow
People forget
That big wheel spins, the hair thins
People forget
Forget they're hiding
The news slows
People forget
The shares crash, hopes are dashed
People forget
Forget they're hiding
[Chorus]
Behind an eminence front
Eminence front, it's a put on
It's just an eminence front
An eminence front, it's a put on
An eminence front
An eminence front, it's a put on
Eminence front
It's an eminence front, it's a put on
It's a put on, it's a put on, it's a put on
[Outro]
Come and join the party, dress to
Come and join the party, dress to
Come on join the party, dress to
Come on join the party, dress to kill
Dress yourself to kill
The Lyrics:
Cut the cord and swing the lead
Failure's fate the one instead
The tidemark's rising
Blossom falls and clouds the air
Powder trails the one in care
The tidemark's rising
Leaving you, became arriving
Falling down, became diving
Leaving you, became arriving
Falling down, became diving
Flowers bloom and take the sun
Chances left when all is done
The tidemark's rising
River swells and breaks it banks
Acting up instead of thanks
The tidemarks rising
Leaving you, became arriving
Falling down, became diving
Leaving you, became arriving
Falling down, became diving
Flooding cares to keep hope clear
Drowning all to keep what's dear
The tidemark's rising
Keeping undercounts as acts
Lying hard to prove a fact
The tidemark's rising
Leaving you, became arriving
Falling down, became Diving
Leaving you, became arriving
Falling down, became diving.
The Lyrics:
Is this the age of the thunder and rage
Can you feel the ground move 'round your feet
If you take one step closer, it'll lead to another
The crossroad above is where we meet
I shout out for shelter, I need you for something
The whole world is out, they're all on the street
Control yourself, love is all you need
Control yourself, in your eyes
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Be apart of me, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, set yourself free
In pictures of living, in bloodshot a vision
Sweet miracles and strange circumstances
I see the sun up, the showdown, the cool winds that blow down
On the big beat that life-long romance is
You've got a gun in your hand, you're making self plans
Stay with me all through the night
Control yourself, love is all you need
Control yourself, open up your heart
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Be apart of me, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, set yourself free
You can't stop the world for a boy or a girl
Sweet victims of poor circumstances
But you can pour back the love, sweeping down from above
Giving hope and making more chances
Well, I hope and I pray that maybe someday
You'll come back down here and show me the way
Control yourself, love is all you need
Control yourself, open up your heart!
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, sanctify
Sanctify yourself, Set yourself free...
The Lyrics:
Cover me, when I run
Cover me, through the fire
Something knocked me out' the trees
Now I'm on my knees
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're gonna to shock the monkey
Fox the fox
Rat on the rat
You can ape the ape
I know about that
There is one thing you must be sure of
I can't take any more
Darling, don't you monkey with the monkey
Monkey, monkey, monkey
Don't you know you're going to shock the monkey
Monkey, wheels keep turning
Something's burning
Monkey, don't like it but I guess I'm learning
Shock! Shock! Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Cover me, when I sleep
Cover me, when I breathe
You throw your pearls before the swine
Make the monkey blind
Cover me, darling please
Monkey, too much at stake
Ground beneath me shake
Monkey, and the illusion breaking
Shock! Shock! Shock!
Watch the monkey get hurt, monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey to life
Shock the monkey, Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey, Shock the monkey!
Shock the monkey
Shock the monkey to life.

The Lyrics:
Gonna take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run but you cannot hide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realize
Do we have to wait 'till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
Gonna to take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good
Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good.

The Lyrics:
Everyone here is trying to get to the bar.
The name of the bar, the bar is called Heaven.
The band in Heaven they play my favorite song.
They play it once again, play it all night long.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
There is a party, everyone is there.
Everyone will believe at exactly the same time.
It's hard to imagine, that nothing ever happens,
could be so exciting, could be so much fun.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
When this kiss over, it will start again.
It will not be any different, it will be exactly the same.
It's hard to imagine, that nothing at all
could be so exciting, could be this much fun.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
Heaven, heaven is a place, a place where nothing, nothing ever happens.
The Lyrics:
There's an army
On the dance floor
It's a fashion
With a gun my love
In a room
Without a door
A kiss is not enough In
Love my way
It's a new road
I follow where
My mind goes
They'd put us
On a railroad
They'd dearly
Make us pay
For laughing
In their faces
And making it our way
There's emptiness
Behind their eyes
There's dust
In all their hearts
They just want to
Steal us all
And take us all apart
But not in
Love my way
It's a new road
I follow where
My mind goes
So swallow
All your tears my love
And put on
Your new face
You can never win or lose
If you don't
Run the race

The Lyrics:
When you were here be...
When you were here be...
When you were here before
I couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel
You float like a feather
In a beautiful world
I wish I was special
You're so fucking special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What am I doing here?
I don't belong here
But I'm a creep, I don't belong here
But I'm a creep, I don't belong here
I don't care if it hurts
I wanna have control
I want a perfect body
I want you to notice
When I'm not around
So fucking special
I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Cus' I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong...
So fucking special, I wish I was special
But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What am I doing here?
I don't belong here
Cus' I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong...
Cus' I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong...

The Lyrics:
Wake me up in the middle of the flight
Show me which way to go
Where the wind won't blow
Swing me up sweet purple June
Hold me like I'm a child
That's about to go wild
I'd like to know just where you've been
If you would like to try again
I'd like to slow this spin I'm in
Would you like it to begin?
Silver sunbeam tease my eyes
I am too satisfied with other side
Roll me up and drop me down
Lay me back in New York town
That's where I like to be found
I'd like to know just where you've been
If you would like to try again
I'd like to slow this spin I'm in
Would you like it to begin?
Roll me up and drop me down
Lay me back in New York town
That's where I like to be found
The Lyrics:
You can tuck it on the inside
You can throw it on the floor
You can wave it on the outside
Like you never did before
You get the diplomatic treatment
You get the force fed future
Get the funk after death
Get the wisenheimer brainstorm
(I'm in touch with your world)
So don't you try to hide it
(I'm in touch with your world)
And nobody's gonna buy it
It's such a lovely way to go
It's such a lovely way to go
I been lying on your feathers
You keep talkin' about the weather
I'm a psilocybin pony
You're a flick fandango phoney
It's a sticky contradiction
It's a thing you call creation
Everything is science fiction
And I ought to know
(I'm in touch with your world)
So don't you try to hide it
(I'm in touch with your world)
And nobody's gonna buy it
It's such a lovely way to go
It's such a lovely way to go-uh-o-o-o
(I'm in touch with your world)
(I'm in touch with your world)
(I'm in touch with your world)
(I'm in touch with your world)

The Lyrics:
In a forest pitch-dark
Glowed the tiniest spark
It burst into flame
Like me, like me
My name isobel
Married to myself
My love isobel
Living by herself
In a heart full of dust
Lives a creature called lust
It's priceless and scarce
Like me, like me
My name isobel
Married to myself
My love isobel
Living by herself
Crying in silence
A simple excuse
Nana na nana, nana na nana
Nana na nana, nana na nana
In a tower of steel
Nature forges a deal
To raise wonderful hell
Like me, like me
My name isobel
Married to myself
My love isobel
Living by herself
Crying in silence
A simple excuse
Nana na nana, nana na nana
Nana na nana, nana na nana
Nana na nana, nana na nana...
The Lyrics:
I've been trying to get to you for a long time
Cause constantly you've been on my mind
I was thinking 'bout a short cut that I could take
But I found I made a mistake
I was wrong
It took too long
I got caught in a rush hour
Fellows started to shower
you with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction
On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way
At five o'clock it's much too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Too crowded for me
Couldn't get through to you baby
Oh, it's too crowded
Well there're too many in back of me
And they're all tryin' to get in front of me
I was thinking I saw a road up ahead
But I saw a stoplight instead
I was wrong
It took too long
I got caught in a rush hour
Fellows started to shower
you with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction
On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way
I was wrong
It took too long
I got caught a rush hour
Fellows started to shower
you with love and affection
Now you won't look at my direction
On the expressway to your heart
That expressway that's the best way
That expressway to your heart
That espressway that's the best way
At five o'clock it's too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Much too crowded (Too crowded)
Too crowded
Too crowded for me
Just couldn't get through baby
Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded
Oh, oh, oh, much too crowded
The Lyrics:
The dreamer, the unwoken fool.
In dreams, no pain will kiss the brow.
The love of ages fills the head.
The days that linger there in prayer and of burned out dreams.
The minutes calling through the years.
The universal dreamer rises up above his earthly burden.
Journey to the dead of night.
High on a hill in Eldorado...
Midnight on the water.
I saw the ocean's daughter.
Walking on a wave she came,
staring as she called my name.
And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get her out of my head.
Breakdown on the shoreline,
pale moon, it's an ebbtide.
Morning don't get here till night,
searching for her silver light.
And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get her out of my head, no no.
Bank job in the city of love.
Robin Hood and William Tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot, they don't envy me.
Sitting till the sun goes down,
in dreams the world keeps going round and round.
And I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get her out of my head, no no.
No, I can't get it out of my head,
no, I can't get it out of my head.
Now my old world is gone for dead
'cos I can't get her out of my head, no no no no.
The dreamer, the unwoken fool.
High on a hill in Eldorado...
Arcadia was a spin-off group created by three members of Duran Duran (Simon Le Bon, Nick Rhodes and Roger Taylor) in 1985.
This very underrated album features collaborations and guest musicians from artists such as Sting, Herbie Hancock and the legendary David Gilmour (from Pink Floyd)
Lyrics for Election Day:
Wild kind of look to the day
Opening eyes impale neon flickers
She moon she turning away
The city's her slave but he's cheating his mistress
She's moody and gray
She's mean and she's restless
(so restless so restless indeed)
All over you as they say
Rumours or rivals yell at the strike force
Hi guys, by the way
Are you aware you're being illegal
It's making your saviour behaviour look evil
'scuse my timing but say
How d'you fit in with this flim, flam and judy
Maximum big surprise
Your smile is something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound
To suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Stretching my luck down the way
To your invitation stretching my body
Use your intuitive play
'cause maybe we have more play time than money
Maximum big surprise
She knows something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
I'm saving myself to suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Byroads and backways
A lover's chance downwind
Cut open murmurs and sounds
Becalm hands on the skin
Carry further
Entangled strands
(all sing!)
I'm saving some time to slip away
We could dive! oh...
Shouldn't be asking...
Wild and scheming
Could be my election day
Maximum big surprise
You know something new
I pull my shirt off and pray
We're sacred and bound
To suffer the heatwave
Pull my shirt off and pray
We're coming up on re-election day
Re-election day
The Lyrics:
A sort of place you don't often find
A quiet room to go out of your mind
Will you excuse me whilst I confide
I've found a place where I can hide
Lights out by nine as a rule
One grey blanket and a stool
Angels fear to tread where stands the fool
But the air is warm, and the walls are cool
So I'm kept away, so here I'll stay
Even the judges kneel and pray
I am the winner in any event, SNAP!
Who was the man who said society's bent?
So I'm locked away in my padded cocoon
Square of hell where nightmares bloom
Armageddon couldn't come too soon
But if it only meant that I could leave this room
Here stands the Fool
Here stands the Fool
Here stands the Fool...
Walking down the Mercer Street
Been a long hot summer
Rain like daggers coming down on me
Got a feeling it's too late
But alone, together
Could be we might start it up all over again
Dream, dream, you're not too late
Sweet road to somewhere else
Listen to the radio
Are you calling
Listen to the radio
Are you calling
Three o'clock I'm on my way on the road to somewhere
Little clouds like wounds that blow away
Listening to the radio like a friend that guides me
Playing out every song we used to know
Dream, dream you're not too late
Sweet road to somewhere else
Listen to the radio
Are you calling
Listen to the radio
Are you calling
Bring it on
Come along
On the road to somewhere
Take our time
See the signs
On the road to somewhere
Bring it on
Come along
On the road to somewhere
Take our time
See the signs
On the road to somewhere
Lyrics of Sneaker Pimps - O-Type :
Feel like I'm O-type
Got so infected by life
I need to exchange all the failure in my veins
And stop abusing my friends' advice
Feel like I'm O-type
I got too cold to excite
Gave blood to the blind
And now they're seeing with my eyes
I need to put the whole world to right
They say they've got the cure, I know I want it
They've got the cure, I know I want it
They've got the cure, I know I want it
They say, they say, they say
Feel like I'm O-type
Disinfected for life
All out of ideas, we set culture back for years
And so consistently over-hyped
I feel like I'm O-type
Seen the truth, seen the light
If I'm dead then I'm saved
So build a dancefloor on my grave
And give no thought to my line of flight
They say they've got the cure, I know I want it
They've got the cure, I know I want it
They've got the cure, I know I want it
They say, they say, they say
They say they've got the cure, I know I want it
They've got the cure, I know I want it
They've got the cure, I know I want it
They say, they say, they say
Lyrics:
It's middle of the month it's happening all over town
You know it's got me reeling forward got me falling to the ground
There's a new mag on the market it's the best around
All the guys are talking it's the best they ever found
All the guys are talking 'cause they all want some
It's got me reaching in my pocket and got me forking out a cash
'Cause there's something in the middle and it's giving me a rise
Every single month it's the same old trash
There's a girl in the middle with her finger in his ass
There's a boy there in the middle with a finger up her ass
Tiny finger!
It's middle of the month and it's happening all over town
You know it's got me reeling forward got me falling to the ground
It got me reaching in my pocket and got me forking out cash
'Cause there's something in the middle and it's giving me a rise
There's a girl in the middle with her finger in his ass
Tiny finger!
Tiny finger in his asshole!
Tiny finger!
Tiny finger!
Tiny finger in his asshole!
The Lyrics:
So I wake up on my way east
I'm ironing out this crease that sleeps underneath
me
1 for sorrow and 2 for killjoy , 3 the girl who gets to the boy
freeing the girl who gets to remote-control me
10 stops till she drops, dressed up to the 9s
8 o'clock on the dot on the 7th line
6 to the best, low 5 for the rest
I'm 4 on the floor, Miami
10 stops till she drops, dressed up to the 9s
8 o'clock on the dot on the 7th line
6 to the best, low 5 for the rest
I'm 4 on the floor, miami counting, miami counting
If she drive us down to the beach, conceiving our kids on the seat
She's a valley girl and mainstream a freak
1 for trying and 2 for escape and 3 the boy who made the mistake
Leaving the girl with affections to rare to ease
10 stops till she drops, dressed up to the 9s
8 o'clock on the dot on the 7th line
6 to the best, low 5 for the rest
I'm 4 on the floor, Miami
10 stops till she drops, dressed up to the 9s
8 o'clock on the dot on the 7th line
6 to the best, low 5 for the rest
I'm 4 on the floor, miami counting, miami counting
Miami counting, miami counting
1 for sorrow and 2 for killjoy , 3 the girl who gets to the boy
She remote-controls me
So i wake up on my way east with only myself to please
And after today has crashed I'm left with the aftermath
10 stops till she drops, dressed up to the 9s
8 o'clock on the dot on the 7th line
6 to the best, low 5 for the rest
I'm 4 on the floor, Miami
10 stops till she drops, dressed up to the 9s
8 o'clock on the dot on the 7th line
6 to the best, low 5 for the rest
I'm 4 on the floor, miami counting
Miami counting, miami counting
Miami counting, miami counting
Miami counting.
