The Wild Ones
Mmm, there's a song playing on the radio
Sky high in the airwaves on the morning show
And there's a lifeline slipping as the record plays
As I open the blinds in my mind I m believing that you could stay
And oh if you stay then I'll chase the rainblown fields away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones, running with the dogs today
Mmm, there's a song playing through another wall
All we see and believe is the D.J. and debts dissolve
And it's a shame the plane is leaving on this sunny day
Cos on you my tattoo will be bleeding and the name will stain
And oh if you stay we'll ride from disguised suburban graves
We'll go from the bungalows where the debts still grow every day
And oh if you stay then I'll chase the rainblown fears away
We'll shine like the morning and sin in the sun oh if you stay
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
We'll be the wild ones running with the dogs today
Oh if you stay, oh if you stay, oh if you stay
Oh if you stay, oh if you stay, oh if you stay
Oh if you stay, oh if you stay, oh if you stay


Modern Boys
Do you like that? stylish, style
Well, come on to me my winter son
We could lie on the rails and when the morning comes
We'd be miles away, miles away
Slipping away while the city sleeps,
Running away from this cruel disease
Miles away, miles away
Modern boys, modern boys
Hand in hand,
Sick of the fear
Chasing away all the hungry years
We're the modern boys falling down
Well, come onto me my sickly thing,
We could lie on the rails but to really win
We'll just drive away, drive away
Yes, the world calls my international
So let the decades die,
Let the parties fall
And we'll be miles away, miles away
Cos we'll be living like
Modern boys, modern Boys
Hand in hand,
Sick of the fear
Chasing away all the hungry years
We're the modern boys, modern boys
Into the night, under the stars
Jumping the lights in the silent cars
He's on your left,
I'm on your right
It's so easy in the concrete night


This World Needs A Father
Hold on, he's coming
Through the wheels of the star machine
Hold on, he's coming
Through the tears of your shit-stained dream
In an anthem for the world
Let him waltz you down the river
Let him feel like boy or girl
With his sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
So let's have one for the lovers
And one more for the friends
Cos drink to you is all I can do
As life slips down, down the drain
Hold on, he's coming
With the screen kissed spine of the past
Hold on, it's alright he's coming
With the style of the wormwood star
Sing an anthem for the world
Sing a farewell for the river
If you feel like boy or girl
Sing a sci-fi lullaby
Let the light of the bomb shine from him tomorrow
Yes this world needs a father for the sorrow
So let's have one more for the lovers
And one more for the friends
Yes drink to you is all I can do
As life goes round, round the drain
