What Happens If You Put Your Head In a Particle Accelerator? 02:33
lyrics

This is a message from the land of ice and snow One thousand secret places you can never go One thousand secrets you can never ever know We're gonna have a little Chernobyl just for him Look to the red light, but the red light's growing dim We're fighting for something that we can never win The opposition that you face, well they live inside your head This is a message, it's a warning from the reds They're not gonna stop until all of us are dead What happens when you look directly at the sun What happens when you're facing down a loaded gun You end up in the hospital while the world is on the run

Melancholia 02:06
lyrics

Suffocate inside my taxi Gravity is nonsense now Fumes that smell like dodgy cigarettes And she's smoking like a factory I can see her through the glass She exists, but only in my mind And the room is slowly spinning And the radio is on A seat of polyvinyl chloride I can see her through the glass Her body's here, her soul is far away Far away, far away, far away

Fake Joy Division Song 02:34
lyrics

A transmission from me to you An act of passion is not a death wish I did what you asked me to And look where it got the both of us A transmission in an empty room I heard your voice from across the landline My heart is racing and I can't stand still I don't know when, but they're coming to slaughter us The heat of passion The wrath of god An invitation to the infirmary Propaganda The fog of war Misinformation, We're living in fear of life A transmission from me to you Whatever happened to communication I keep on praying to satellites But you move on and then I pass away Away, away, away

Did you recieve the news? He disapeared Vanished in the night It's worse than we feared The boy was confused And fighting bad ideas They whisper in my brain at night 'Till I'm bleeding from my ears Black rubber gloves Black rubber hands They're coming to your neighbourhood Burrowing beneath the soil when they land They're taking over everyone The weather man on channel number fifty one They say it's getting hot So they're making it colder They're gonna give me shots They're gonna make me a soldier

Monster 03:54

When you look at yourself and all you see is a monster You don't know who you are When your closest of friends don't wanna know you You know you've gone too far If you're feeling alone then I want you to calm down And be alone with me After all, you're my favourite monster Please stay here with me When you're lying in bed and you can't get your head down Bored of counting sheep If you're staying awake thinking about tomorrow You'll never get to sleep If you're staying awake then I want you to calm down And stay awake with me After all, you're my favourite monster Please stay here with me If you carry the weight of the word on your shoulder You won't get very far When you look at yourself and all you see is a monster You don't know who you are If the world gets you down then I want you to calm down And watch the world with me After all, you're my favourite monster Please stay here with me After all, you're my favourite monster Please stay here with me

This body of mine that I'm standing in This body of mine that I'm standing in This body of mine that I'm standing in Abandoned by god, abandoned by the goverment Resort to mutilation on a Saturday night Bleeding on the carpet, bleeding on the carpet Threw me into the fight without a weapon I'm hollow inside, they took away my medicine Better run, better run, little son of a bitch It'd take a lot o' lovin' to scratch this itch Don't wanna be son to a mother Everybody bleeds one way or another I was born a Frankenstein I wanna break free from this body of mine (Frankenstein) Daddy's comin' home late and his pocket's getting fat I don't wanna wait, I hate it when he calls me that I'll die at the hands of the clowns we're working for I'll die at the hands of the clowns we're working for Don't wanna be son to a mother Everybody bleeds one way or another I was born a Frankenstein I wanna break free from this body of mine I was born a Frankenstein I wanna break free from this body of mine

Folks I'm going down to St James Infirmary To see my baby there She's stretched out on a long white table So sweet, so cold, so fair Let her go, let her go, God bless her Wherever she may be She can search this great wide world over But she'll never find another sweet man like me When I die bury me in my straight leg britches Put on a box back coat and a stetson hat Put a twenty dollar gold piece on my watch chain So you can let all the boys know I died standing pat Then give me six crap shooting pall bearers Let a chorus girl sing me a song Put a rock'n'roll band on my tombstone Praise hell as we go along Folks, now you have heard my story I'll tell you another and it's true And if anyone should ask you You tell them I've got those St James Infirmary blues

I've got a little book And there's an envelope taped to the back page It's written in red And the weather on my face, well it feels like a razor blade I'm living in a house that was renovated Courtesy of the BBC a television special I'm moving to the suburbs Away from the bleach and the blood stained carpet It's a ghost town Going right down They're coming for me And I don't know when It's a ghost town Coming right now I feel dizzy and it's making me sick So I'm sitting by myself in a bathroom stall My only friend is a silver fish That's where you'll fine me, third along from the wall I'm waiting for my mother Nailed to her head is an eviction notice I'm going back there in the summer When the trash comes in 'cause you missed collection It's a ghost town Going right down They're coming for me And I don't know when It's a ghost town Coming right now It's a ghost town Going right down They're coming for me And I don't know when It's a ghost town Coming right now Coming right now Coming right now I've got me a brain And you're damned if you think I'm gonna use it I'm in so much pain And it's never gonna stop, and it's never gonna stop, no It's a ghost town Going right down They're coming for me And I don't know when It's a ghost town Coming right now It's a ghost town Going right down They're coming for me And I don't know when It's a ghost town Coming right now Coming right now Coming right now Coming right now Coming right now

You ain't got no brain in your head You don't dream when you're lying in bed You are electric, you are electricity You're a machine, you are empty You're a product of the time, you are static You're a product you can buy wrapped in plastic You're a triple decker sandwich held together with American cheese You're an all American doggy praying down on your knees You better say your prayers because the weather is gonna get warm The weatherman told me, you've been warned You're the brain of a bird spliced onto the body of an ape You're an ape of a man and you're a fool if you think you can escape You're a man with a plan and the plan is doing what you're told And the weather's getting hot, so they're making it cold You're the red white and blue in the pancakes of our hearts You're the heart shaped hiney upsetting the apple cart You're the apple pie in the sky, in the eye of god You're the godlike being whose name spelt backwards is dog Your subservience is a service to our nation And you're serving in the USA (USA, USA) Your subservience is a service to our nation And you're serving on planet Earth You're the piggy in the middle and they ain't got nothing on you (Little piggy in the middle) You're the last of the species and there ain't nothing that you can do (You're the last of the species) You're a Frankenstein monster and they ain't got nothing on you (Frankenstein, Frankenstein) You're a clone from the zone and they ain't got nothing on you (Clone zone, clone zone) And the sharks in the ocean, they ain't got nothing on you (Little shark in the ocean) And the refrigerator-man, he ain't got nothing on you (Refrigerator) And the television stations, they ain't got nothing on you (Television, I watch TV) And the big corporations, they ain't got nothing on you This monkey wants to walk with you (Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man) This monkey wants to talk with you (Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man) This monkey wants to run with you (Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man) This monkey is in love with you( Monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man, monkey-man) Cheeseburger, monkey-man, television, I watch TV Cheeseburger, monkey-man, we are DEVO, I watch TV Cheeseburger, monkey-man, television, I watch TV Cheeseburger, monkey-man, we are DEVO, I watch TV

Staring at the Radiator 00:56
lyrics

I find myself upset for no reason Listening to my old songs in the dark Is it me or is it the season? That chose to suffocate my heart So what's the point? Staring at the radiator People look at me like a zombie Or sometimes they ignore me like I'm a ghost But still the melancholy haunts me They say they wanna know me But I know they don't Staring at the radiator
