lonely parade
----------------------------------------
lonely parade
sent out to save
lonely parade
sent out to save
standing tall
ignore them all
no one's there
when you fall
it's not the way
it should be
what would you do?
if you were me
lonely parade
sent out to save
lonely parade
sent out to save
despite the lie
we try & try
were lost & found
we will be crowned
our kingdom come
thou will be done
we sing the song
tell me how long?
lonely parade
sent out to save
lonely parade
sent out to save
the words are writ
our tongues are bit
we'll never quit
in thrones we'll sit
we hear them laugh
the hunger shark
march through the dark
follow the spark
lonely parade
sent out to save
lonely parade
sent out to save
they trip me up
run out of luck
i'm pixie puck
you need to duck
see i'm not blind
i search to find
mountain we climb
travel through time
lonely parade
sent out to save
"a perfect solution for you"
lonely parade
sent out to save
"a perfect solution for you"

polaroid lies
-----------------------------------------------------
foundations shaken
liberty taken
we push the blame
ride through the station
find information
ignite this flame
carry this burden
pull back the curtain
embrace the change
was it a choice to make?
or was the promise fake?
it heals the lame
polaroid lies
my hands are tied
polaroid lies
my hands are tied
try to demonise
when will it subside
still push the blame
it tries our patience
inflection cadence
it breaks the chain
carry this burden
pull back the curtain
embrace the change
was it a choice to make?
or was the promise fake?
it heals the lame
polaroid lies
my hands are tied
polaroid lies

was it a choice to make?
or was the promise fake?
it heals the lame
deny us everything
long live everything
it's all the same
deny us everything
long live everything
it's all the same
polaroid lies
my hands are tied
polaroid lies
my hands are tied
polaroid lies
they hypnotise
polaroid lies
my hands are tied
could it be ?

could it be?
probably
could it be?
it was all me
could it be?
probably
could it be?
it was all me

eeereee ( who cares?)
--------------------------------------------
a boxer. a loner. i'm fighting for truth
dreaming of losing another loose tooth
shadow boxing. it's just shadow fighting.
she's like lightening. you'll find it quite frightening.
well keep tightening. become mighty & sing.
who's the king? gotta shout to win.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.
tear through this crazy forest.
back to where we started.
face the demons screaming
through the lakes. more dreaming.
were screaming. head down. come on.
keep fighting forever. gotta stay strong.
the devils on our trail. as they drive another nail.
torn apart by powers unknown.
walking lost away from our thrones.
one thing i know is we've gotta keep going.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.
who care's about the dead?
when it's all passed over
& conclusions are met.

meccano stomp
-----------------------------------------------------
let me out
let me go
i can't believe the thing's you show
fire it burns
tabless turn
can't remember the lesson's learnt
backbone stiff
restless sleep
can't you just give me one quick peek
let me stomp
let me scream
escape this hell
& learn to dream
mecanno stomp
mecanno stomp
mecanno stomp
mecanno stomp
fire it burns
tables turn
can't remember the lesson's learnt
fill my thirst
before i burst
she wants me stripped driving in this hearse
i don't care
broken stare
halfway there
she don't seem to care
let me stomp
let me scream
escape this hell
& learn to dream
mecanno stomp
mecanno stomp
mecanno stomp
mecanno stomp
outro
------------------------
driving through a cathedral town
i saw a man with a hunch back
pushing a bicycle
there was a right turn
but i chose to go straight on
i went past the tapas place
they sold beer
there was a volvo on the kerbside
and a van that was far too over here
the girl in the fish and chip shop
works right next door to the church
there was a cull de sac on the left
she'd probably been left in the lurch
the venture buisiness park
and the girl with the child
a man wore black as he rode past her
and the dog was by the cement mixer
a golf range and a swimming pool
and the men are at work
all the houses are for sale
and the school is being renovated
i took the turning to malvern
but i didn't really know where i was going
two meals being sold for £9
the bollards in the center of the road were broken
and the accountants were looking for a hand out
the citroen's and the renaults
and the jeeps of different names
and the old road heading to the water tower is run down
broken trees blocking the road
none of the lamposts were working
and the telephone poles were on the horizon
i found my road to my motorway
and i just carried on driving
i just carried on driving
i just carried on driving
i just carried on driving
