Hole 02:27
lyrics

There's a hole In the street Where my lover should be There's a hole Between my arms Where she should be resting There's a hole In my world When it takes you away So please, my darling, please stay Though your breath Covers my skin I can't let you in, no Though your breath Covers my skin I can't let you in, no Though your breath Covers my skin I can't let you in Can't let you 'Cos I know There's a hole In the street Where my lover should be There's a hole Between my arms Where she should be resting There's a hole In my world When it takes you away My heart is crying, "Please stay" My heart is crying, "Please stay" My heart is crying, "Please stay"

I Swear I'll Be Fine 03:36
lyrics

First lover, best friend I did believe we'd stay till the end Till I abandoned us with just one kiss First lover, best friend I blame myself why did I pretend That what we had was something I'd ever miss Even the dark feels better on these lonely nights Don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine Even the dark tastes better on these lonely nights Don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine Ex-lover, ex-friend You threw my mind round the bend There's no reason to crawl back into that cage of silent cruelty Ex-lover, ex-friend Your clever words will never mend What we've drained dry of dignity I never needed you I never needed you I'll never need you I'd sooner bite off my hand than beg you to pull me through Even the dark feels better on these lonely nights Don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine Even the dark tastes better on these lonely nights Don't worry 'bout me I'll be fine I've heard that to a hollow heart The needle will be kind Don't come back for me I swear I'll be fine

Girl met girl My odd story unfurled But they wouldn't hear it My world kissed hers And every inch Till cowardice killed it Now I'm girl without my girl And I'm strangling myself On my shame I've choked myself To blank and back My lips still chase her name There's splinters in my brain And a burning in my veins I'm falling far enough to find you 'Cos if I break I'll be beside you I once fell so hard for you But now I've got to fall Harder, harder To get you back Get you back With every glass Every fresh bruise I paint dizzy new harm I think I've convinced myself I can spin back into your arms So I smile at yet Another stranger With manic brazen calm I've danced and danced So long it hurts But maybe this time will be the charm There's splinters in my brain And a burning in my veins I'm falling far enough to find you 'Cos if I break I'll be beside you I once fell so hard for you But now I've got to fall Harder, harder Oh I'm falling far enough to find you 'Cos if I break I'll be beside you I once fell so hard for you But now I've got to fall Harder, harder To get you back Get you back Get you back Get you back I'm falling far enough to find you 'Cos if I break I'll be beside you I once fell so hard for you But now I've got to fall Harder, harder Oh I'm falling far enough to find you 'Cos if I break I'll be beside you I once fell so hard for you But now I've got to fall Harder, harder Oh now I've got to fall Harder, harder Now I've got to fall Harder, harder Now I've got to fall Harder, harder To get you back

Lone Neon Sign 03:19
lyrics

I spied an angel But alas she was not sent for me She got tangled with a brute He says he loves her tenderly Oh I bite my tongue Every time the bastard makes her cry It kills me but it's clear She'll have no other in her sights I'm the Lone Neon Sign As the roads are swallowed up by night If you need to find your way I'll be here I have her by my side Yet she's never here The way I wish she could be She even rests her head Against my soul She must know how I feel If she does then she's a bitch This one way street has drained me dry But I'm helpless to step away All I can do is sigh I'm the Lone Neon Sign As the roads are swallowed up by night If you need to find your way I'll be here And in the deafening dark Though I have no hold on your heart You can take my hand Till we get you back to your lucky man I'm the Lone Neon Sign As the roads are swallowed up by night If you need to find your way I'll be here If you need to find your way I'll be here

Sleepers' Night Railway 02:26
lyrics

Momma I can scared To close my eyes The eyes of my bear Won't glitter as bright I don't think he'll see What I see at night And he can't protect me If it's outside his dark furred sight So at midnight I climb down Through the floorboards Sink deep To the Sleepers' Night Railway That charters your sleep Its carriages grey The rails coated in algae Momma one dream Was filled with pale lights The air was choked With a stranger's cry His face was like yours But not yours his fright With trembling hands He clutched at his fading life So at midnight I climbed down Through the floorboards Sank deep The Sleepers' Night Railway Had left without me My heart a cold grey My bones coated in algae No lights on my journey For dead are the stars in the bay

Mad Mad Maggie 02:44
lyrics

Mad Mad Maggie Walks the streets alone She's got a little baggie For her dead dog's bones The people leave her be They say she wouldn't hurt a fly But her fits are quite a sight When a pale moon's high She cries There's a man five steps from my heels No one can see him But I can feel his gaze It never leaves the back of my head Please believe me Or tonight I'll be dead Mad Mad Maggie Was such a pretty thing Other girls would envy How her dark eyes gleamed Then the nightmare ate her up And spat out this mad shell That looks out at the world And sees nothing but hell There's a man Five steps from my heels No one can see him But I can feel his gaze It never leaves the back of my head Please believe me Or tonight I'll be dead Mad Mad Maggie Is nowhere to be found No more is her shadow Dragging 'cross the grounds They went up to her house There was nobody there But they swore they heard the empty house Whisper, "Beware." It cries There's a man just inches from your heels You'll never see him But he's quite real His fingers are itching to get round your neck Hate to say I told you so But now you're next

I'm your electric flower You can light me up Or let me wither at your whim I'm your electric thunder So sound me out I'll swallow those doubts Before they begin I'm your electric lover So just plug me into your heart And we'll run forever So please short-circuit my- Short-circuit my love Short-circuit my love I'm your electric honey Honey, pour me out And let me drizzle on your tongue I'm your electric army So send me out I'll knock all those bastards down I'm your electric lover So just plug me into your heart And we'll run forever So please short-circuit my- Short-circuit my love Short-circuit my love They say the gates of your mind Won't open for little toys like me They say the gates of your mind Won't open for little girls like me But I say if it's all just a game Then why can't we play I said if it's all just a game Then why can't we play I'm your electric lover So just plug me into your heart And we'll run forever So please short-circuit my- Short-circuit my- We could be electric Short-circuit my- We could be electric Short-circuit my- We could be electric Short-circuit my love
