The Mirror Of The Signs Lyrics – Bush

you could say that all love breaks you
and every kiss is who you are
if i could tell you what i’ve been thinking
maybe we could get along
see yourself through the mirror of the signs
it’s alright to lose your mind
in a world of paradise
yesterday before your eyes
and all the lives you leave behind

you can’t run from what’s inside you
and what don’t kill will set you free
all those days i felt my rage
but i found the strength to be me, yeah

see yourself through the mirror of the signs
it’s alright to lose your mind
in a world of paradise
yesterday before your eyes
and all the lives you leave behind
in a world of paradise
(in a world of paradise)

don’t fake
don’t fake anyone

don’t lie
don’t lie till you’re done

dive in
dive into everything

you could say that all love breaks you
and every kiss is who you are, yeah
see yourself through the mirror of the signs
it’s alright to lose your mind
in a world of paradise
yesterday before your eyes
and all the lives you leave behind
in a world of paradise, yeah
watch them fade in the shadow of the sun
each new day the last is done

The Sound Of Winter Lyrics – Bush

Mind strong, Body strong
Try to find equilibrium
Head straight, Screwed on
Been screwed up for too long

I don't want to lean on the waves
I watch the storm evaporate
I think of you in starry skies
I keep you so alive

Lets walk through the fire together
Disappear in the golden sands

It's all in your face
I see you break
It's like the sound of winter
The bleeding love, the silent escape
You've got to hang on to yourself
It's like the sound of winter

Medusa smiles, Judas lips
Open arms and finger tips
Love bites and Recompense
I'll be with you until the end

Lets walk through the fire together
Disappear in the golden sands

It's all in your face
I see you break
It's like the sound of winter
The bleeding love, the silent escape
You've got to hang on to yourself

It's all in your face
I see you break
It's like the sound of winter
The bleeding love, the silent escape
You've got to hang on to yourself
It's like the sound of winter

Hang on to yourself
Hang on to yourself

It's like the sound of winter

It's all in your face
I see you break
It's like the sound of winter
The bleeding love, the silent escape
You've got to hang on to yourself
It's like the sound of winter

It's like the sound of winter

Hang on to yourself
Hang on to yourself

All My Life Lyrics – Bush

Watch your back as life comes over you
Choose your weapon before you have to
You disappear in a sea of danger
If you're gone
Baby go faster
I've seen you dance
I've seen you dance to the radio
For gold again
You're going for gold again

All my life I have waited for this moment
All my life tonight
Tonight

Touch the sky because now we are weightless
Floating out into empty spaces
We are faceless
We are soldiers
We believe what you told us
(Told us)
I've seen you dance
I've seen you dance to the radio

All my life I have waited for this moment
(Beware the signs)
All my life tonight
(Of buildings burning down)
All my life I have waited for this moment
(Beware the tides)
All my life tonight
(We're ocean sized)
And I lose myself (myself) in you (in you)
And I lose myself (myself) in you (in you)

All my life I have waited for this moment
(Beware the signs)
All my life tonight
(Of buildings burning down)
We're running out of time
We got to get this right
Here we are
Here we are tonight
Ccean sized (ocean sized)
All my life tonight (tonight)
Ocean sized (ocean sized)
All my life tonight (tonight)
Ocean sized
Ocean sized
Ocean sized
Ocean sized
Ocean sized
Ocean sized

The Afterlife Lyrics – Bush

She got the antidote she knows the other way
She really understands I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide

I got no broken wing
I got the moonshine
I let my enemies slide for the meantime
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go

And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me

The worries on your face
The stars came out to play
I try to tell myself
I won't mess up again
I try to fix it good
I try to patch it up
I got a manual that tells us how we have to love
Forgot your neighbor forgot your love
Forgot the strength cause you can never get enough
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go

And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within

Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me
You and me

Come inside, come over here
I remember you through all the years
Don't try to run us down
When the world is at your feet
Don't let the baby bite
(Bite bite)

She got the antidote
She knows the other way
She really under understands
I don't what the hell to say
I'm on the other side
I'm on the other side
I'm in exile to left of a landslide

And I give myself away
When there's nothing left to say
I surrender myself to the wind
Love is sinking fast within

Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me
Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
with you and me

Into the afterlife (Into the afterlife)
With you and me

Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
With you and me
Into the afterlife
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Why don't you let it go
Let it go let it go

All Night Doctors Lyrics – Bush

she saw the pieces of her yesterday
she was wondering how she’d fade away
who loved her and really listened in
whether she had made a difference
he’s a solider (he’s a solider) of misfortune
seven steps to make one forward
how the truth hurts
the lies they crystallise

try to wrap your arms around a memory
maybe you are not where you’re meant to be
lord knows we’re not who we think we are
all night doctors
all night preachers
all night girls to get you through (get you through, get you through)

lost and wasted
hope is fading
i wait here for you

the secret life of our interiors
whey most girls are superior
everyday i’m on the slide for you and
every night is the same i’m waiting
for the world to change
for all the fighting (for all the fighting) to die away
find comfort in your memory
i’m not where i am meant to be
you shine the world stops
and gods are humbled
all night doctors
all night preachers
all night girls to get you through (get you through, get you through)

lost and wasted
hope is fading
i wait here for you (for you, for you)

were you ever my love
were you ever my love
i don’t know (i don’t know, i don’t know)
(i sense)

all night doctors
(were you ever my love)
all night preachers
(were you ever my love)
all night girls to get you through (get you through, get you through)

lost and wasted
(were you ever my love)
hope is fading
(were you ever my love)
i wait here for you (for you, for you)

were you ever my love
were you ever my love
i don’t know

Baby Come Home Lyrics – Bush

i ask myself what i think of this moment
i ask myself if i let you down
i can’t believe that you’re in my system
i can’t believe that you’re in my arms
shall we dance before the ambulance comes
shall we let the rain fall over us
shall we sing a settlement song
should have been who i was all along (all along)

let your mind keep you strong
it’s too late
you’re long gone
it’s too late
we’re undone
i find you all by yourself on the street again
baby come home again
baby come home again

it’s dangerous cause the people are struggling
it’s dangerous cause you’re hard to see
i want to make everything better
i want to make you believe
i lost myself to the sea of memories
i lost myself to irreverent dreams
i lost myself when i first met you
i lost myself more than i ever knew

it’s too late
you’re long gone
it’s too late
we’re undone
i find you all by yourself on the street again
baby come home again
baby come home again
baby come home again

all for your love
for your love
all for you

all for your love
for your love
all for you

it’s too late
you’re long gone
it’s too late
we’re undone
i find you all by yourself on the street again
baby come home again
baby come home again
baby come home again
baby come home

baby
baby come home
coming home
coming home
coming home

Red Light Lyrics – Bush

if i could change the things i’ve done
you could be the only one
there is no blame
there is no pressure
100 ways to make yourself better

i ran through the red light
i was sorry not safe
i was speed not brake
i ran through the red light
i was sorry not safe
i was speed not brakes

if i could see the holy ghost
i’d understand what hurts you most
it’s in your eyes and in your fashion
it’s deeper than you can imagine, yeah

i ran through the red light
i was sorry not safe
i was speed not brake
i ran through the red light
i was sorry not safe
i was speed not brakes

the other side of you
(searching, searching)
the other side of you
the other side of you
(searching, searching)
the other side of you

this perfect night goes on and on
we are swimming in the dawn
there’s a light in everyone
there’s even light where we can’t see
even light where we can’t feel
even light when we’re all blown up

i ran through the red light
i was sorry not safe
i was speed not brake
i ran through the red light
i was sorry not safe
i was speed not brakes

the other side of you
(i ran through the red light)
the other side of you
the other side of you
(i ran through the red light)
the other side of you
the other side of you
(i ran through the red light)
the other side of you
the other side of you
(i ran through the red light)
the other side of you

Got to get you out
Got to get you out
Out of my system

I Believe In You Lyrics – Bush

I try to reach you so many times
I climb the walls till I know you're safe on the inside

You could be my friend
You could hold it down
When you're underground
I'll put you back out

I want you to know
I believe in you
I believe in you

I'm afraid of Babylon
I'm afraid of how we go wrong
I'm afraid of a memory
I'm afraid of what you do to me
I'm afraid of police lights (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of knife fights
I'm afraid of the enemy (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of you and me

You have forgiveness
But I have none
I store it up and serve it cold
You can be sure of my revenge
You could right my wrongs
And when I'm at my worst
You come inside and make me human

I want you to know
I believe in you
I believe in you

I'm afraid of Babylon (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of how we go wrong
I'm afraid of a memory (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of what you do to me
I'm afraid of police lights (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of knife fights
I'm afraid of the enemy (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of you and me

I'm afraid
I'm afraid

I'm afraid of Babylon (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of how we go wrong
I'm afraid of a memory (I'm afraid)
I'm afraid of what you do to me
I believe in you
I believe in you

Stand Up Lyrics – Bush

got lost in the kerosene sun
i’ll make it back before the daylight comes
time is short and time is swift
got to focus who i spend it with
i wait for signs and i wait for maps
i don’t stop and i won’t come back
this is the time to decide what’s right
this is the time of our lives
this is the time to realise ourselves
watch us come

stand up
take a bite
whatever gets you through the night
stand up
stand up for your mistakes
don’t give in to bad breaks
stand up
stand up and respond
out to the future and beyond

she tied me up left me in knots
we have words but not for stop
i met a girl she was in my sleep
i had to beg that she wouldn’t leave
i wish for days i could have again
i wish so bad i could see my friends
this is the time to decide what’s right
this is the time of our lives

stand up
take a bite
whatever get you through the night
stand up
stand up for your mistakes
don’t give in to bad breaks
stand up
stand up and respond
out to the future and beyond (and beyond)

come on come on come on come on
come around
you’ve got to hang on to yourself
come on come on come on come on
come around
you’ve got to hang on to yourself

you’ve got to hang on to yourself

you’ve got to hang on to yourself
we’re electric
we’re invincible
we’re unstoppable
for subordinates
we’re electric
we’re invincible
we’re unstoppable
we’re subordinates

we’re subordinates
stand up
take a bite
whatever gets you through the night
stand up
stand up for your mistakes
don’t give in to bad breaks
stand up
stand up and respond
out to the future and beyond
stand up

stand up
stand up

stand up
stand up
whatever gets you through the night

we’re electric
we’re invincible
we’re unstoppable
for subordinates
we’re electric
we’re invincible
we’re unstoppable
we’re subordinates

The Heart Of The Matter Lyrics – Bush

there’s talk of war all the time
so i think of you
my beautiful one
it’s all for you
i never wish it alone
with all that you bring
i do my best
to keep us in

fly straight to the heart of the matter
elevate through bad weather
strip away
strip away
strip away

strip away
strip away
strip

fly straight to the heart of the matter
elevate through bad weather
strip away
strip away
strip away

strip away
strip away
strip

it’s so easy to go and misunderstand
the distance we run
with this violent heart
it’s a dangerous world
and each accident
brings us closer to those
who mean the most
who mean the most

fly straight to the heart of the matter
elevate through bad weather
strip away
strip away
strip away

strip away
strip away
strip

fly straight to the heart of the matter
elevate through bad weather
strip away
strip away
strip away
strip it back to you and me

so lost when you need something
language is not an enemy
so lost when you need something
language is not an enemy
it’s you and me
it’s you and me

fly straight to the heart of the matter
elevate through bad weather
strip away
strip away
strip away

strip away
strip away
heart of the matter

fly straight to the heart of the matter
elevate through bad weather (through bad weather)
strip away
strip away
strip away

strip away
strip away
strip

(heart of the matter)
fly straight
(heart of the matter)
fly straight
(heart of the matter)

Be Still My Love Lyrics – Bush

it’s a killer inside as i’m watching you slide out my hand
you’re slipping away as i’m watching you fade
please hold on
if i’m losing you now i won’t give till i’m out
you’re my world
i’ll shoulder your pain
ride the violent waves as i can

be still my love
they can never take us
be still my love
be still
be still my love

now there’s strangers between
i can’t get to you
please don’t fade off
can’t stand to lose you
i don’t know what to do for your bleeding

we’re up all night
sleep all day
we don’t care
whatever you say
our love is ocean sized

be still my love
they can never take us
be still my love
be still
be still my love

i won’t do no harm
i won’t do you wrong
i want you to come
cause you’ve been gone too long

try to revive
bring you back round
now you are gone
deep underground
and nothing could ever be the same again

oh i miss you my valentine
lately so heavy without you

be still my love
they can never take us
be still my love
be still
be still my love

be still my love
be still my love

be still
be still my love

be still
be still my love

Landslide Lyrics – Bush (originally by Fleetwood Mac)

I took my love and took it down
Climbed a mountain and I turned around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
'Til the landslide brought me down

Oh, mirror in the sky, what is love?
Can the child within my heart rise above?
Can I sail through the changing ocean tides
Can I handle the seasons of my life?

Don't know

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Children get older,
And I'm getting older too

Well, I've been afraid of changing
'Cause I've built my life around you
Time makes you bolder
Children get older,
I'm getting older too
I'm getting older too

So take this love and take it down
Climb a mountain and turn around
And I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
Well the landslide brought me down

Well I saw my reflection in the snow covered hills
And maybe the landslide will bring you down, down
Well, well the landslide will bring you down

"Golden State" (2001)

Solutions Lyrics – Bush

the devil you know
is back here again
the devil is stoned
he's making friends

we move
we break
the sun with shade

you come
we go
we're fast
we're slow

blood on your dress
hole in your sky
blanket is gone
permanent night

we're glued
we break
we all
dilate

we please
we pain
again

she checks her head
she's in the smoke
figuring which way to turn
now she's got a rope

oh
we need solutions
a brave megaphone
we need solutions
a brave megaphone

she's broken your shoes
you look like winter
you're all in a bruise
handful of splinters

we brood
we flake
we torch
we take

rebound
rebirth
cocoon

i could be wrong
i could be right
do you think we'll make it
out of here alive

[chorus]
oh
we need solutions
a brave megaphone
we need solutions
we got a common home

she makes me see god
i'm out on a line
anyway the pleasure comes

[chorus]

Head Full Of Ghosts Lyrics – Bush

I stand around at american weddings
I stand around for family
At my best when I'm terrorist inside
At my best when it's all me

I was there when they took all the people
I was alone in a mental revine
You breathe life when you break the walls down
You breathe life when you set me free

Where is my head
Where are my bones
Why are my days so far from home?
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Can you save me from myself?

Free thinking renegade social
Missed the moon, the man and now
In a slip stream of my possibilites?
I got the boat so we don't drown

These are the days that are split down the middle
No words to calm me down
Be sure that what you dream of
Won't come to hunt you out

[Chorus]
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Why are my days so far from home?
Ghost man
Where is my head
Where are my bones
How come we get so lost?
Ghost man
Where is my head
Where are my bones
Can you save me from myself
Can you save me from myself

I stand around at american weddings
I stand around for family
At my best when I'm terrorist inside
At my best when it's all me

Ghost man
How come we get so lost
Ghost man

[Chorus]

The People That We Love (Speed Kills) Lyrics – Bush

Speed kills coming down the mountain
Speed kills coming down the street
Speed kills with presence of mind and
Speed kills if you know what I mean
Got to feel - woke up inside again
Got to feel less broke more fixed
Got to feel when I got outside myself
Got to feel when I touched your lips
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something we can't take
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
How's it feel she's coming up roses
How's it feel she's coming up sweet
How's it feel when it's all in spite of you
How's it feel when she's out of your reach
The things we do to the people that we love
The way we break if there's something in the way
Destroy the world that we took so long to make
We expect her gone for some time
I wish her safe from harm
To find yourself in a foreign land
Another refugee outsider refugee
What happened to you

Superman Lyrics – Bush

crucified
for eternal sins
re-invent myself
shape my alter skin

try to break the mold
severed hold
first you find your threshold bevels
breathing out your toxic levels

long slow rope is hangin
now we know what's comin

oh superman
where have you gone
with a little more time
and a six leaf clover
just a little more head
to make you bolder
just a little more sound

been playing tricks you know
she got sucked so dry

we destroy ourselves
to rise again
open up yourself
like a jesus son

only way out is through
way past you
first you get to human levels
run right through your bullshit pedals

long slow rope is hanging
now we know what's coming

oh superman
where have you gone
with a little more time
and a six leaf clover
just a little more head
to make you bolder
just a little more sound
just a little more sound

been playing tricks you know
he got sucked so dry and you oughta know how to lose

long slow rope is hanging

oh superman
what have you done

with a little more time
and a six leaf clover
just a little more head
to make you bolder
just a little more sound
just a little more sound

Fugitive Lyrics – Bush

we got the soul
we got the honey
stayed alive
we keep on running

house is on fire
with petrol stain
we stay on the move
ahead of the flames

we are the new
accelerators
faster we go
before they make us

maybe we did
maybe maybe we don't
we see your face
as you throw the stone

i am a fugitive on the run
i carry the weight of what i've done

those born a sweat
through eyes of love
bring more light
than five thousand hertz

it's not where you're from
or where you go
or what you believe
it's more than you know
open your head
open your head
hold me close as you jump off the edge

[chorus]
i am a fugitive on the run
i carry the weight of what i've done
so don't carry the weight
don't carry the weight
i don't carry the weight

you can't change the world,
but you can change what's to come

[chorus]

Hurricane Lyrics – Bush

Skies ripped open by the sun
Daylight comes but not soon enough
Speed down your track in search of you
Strapped to the back of what we do

Anaesthetize these troubled nerves
Over to you to make it work

Agents of change set headfires
I'd rather starve than fake alive
Lost to the cities of the night
Lost in the world to make it right

[Chorus]
Heartbreak
Heartbreaking
Novocaine won't help the pain
I'm out of control
I'm a hurricane
Head and heart are broken down
Out of control, I'm in a hurricane
Hurricane

Win some ground but I lose you
It's never explained how to make it through
No rope, no cash, no serpentine
All love buried on a bonfire

[Chorus]

Good to see you follow
Good to see you come again

[Chorus]

Miles of Water

Inflatable Lyrics – Bush

Let it slide
Overhead
When i believe in you
My soul can rest

But as love
It's really love
It never fails
But fail it does

When we shine
Like the sun
You seem the only one
My only friend

[Chorus]
So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
So pretty in white
Pretty when you're faithful
When you're faithful

I resigned
From myself
Took a break
As someone else

It's like i've come undone
And i've only just become
Inflatable for you

[Chorus]

I don't mind
Most of the time
But you push me so
Far inside

[Chorus]

Reasons Lyrics – Bush

watch the water feed the soil
so the circle is complete
see what you have become
is the earth beneath my feet

i'll bring in the stains
your alabaster feet
what's the space between
what you want and what you need

so you'll never be lonely again
never be lonely again

waiting for this love
to bring me close to you
waiting for this love
bring me close to you

who are you
and where are you in my life
i was wondering how much of me
is still alive

i don't even know
if i can swim again
you know how cold it gets
with all your struggling

try to find ourselves
seems real
it gets so hard at times
you know just what to feel

[chorus]
waiting for this love
to bring me close to you
waiting for this love
bring me close to you
i got reasons
i got reasons

watch the water bleed the soil
albinoed by the sun
we will try to keep our feet
in the face of what we've done

try to find ourselves
see this, what we made?
tell me what you want
and what you have betrayed

home is still the place
that we love the most
home is where you are
home is where you are

[chorus]

Land Of The Living Lyrics – Bush

i found myself
in another world
i found myself
alive and well

i am the vapor
i am the gas
you be the angel
of everything

this is the land of the living
this is the land of reprisal
this is the land of the living
the living
the living

i lost myself
too wide a plane
i opened up
i'm not the same

i am electric
made of wire
you be the match
i'll be the fire

this is the land of the living
this is the land of reprisal
this is the land of the living
the living
the living
the living

in myself i try for you
walk a thousand miles to get us through
airways
jet planes
safe landings
no branding

land

My Engine Is With You Lyrics – Bush

what makes it go round the way we're up and down
we're minutiae staring at the whole sky
battle sense to keep you apprehensive
i guess no one is the same
we're all through different lenses
the bladder will filter all the pain
and the gut has sides you can't restrain

you are everything to me
you are cobalt elemental

a new lagoon five years down the line
and all i want is a lot of your time
these days when the clouds come in
heat broke no smoke without a fire
heat broke no smoke

[chorus]
infractions of the landscape
in a world we learn to escape
bad weather comes
but we have wood to burn
that which only gives
will always bring you through
my engine is with you

kilburn and california
make you wonder what it's all for
feed the lesson to the plate
twenty-one centuries
and I'm just starting to move
wreckless times like poison to the mood
daylight comes all too soon
accusations bruises to the head
planet waves to test your lead

you are everything to me
you are cobalt elemental

[chorus]

tie me in with electric line
bathe me in bacchanalian wine
if i with you to gold worlds of true moans
and eyes that see the same pool
if not the same water
if not the same water
if not the same water

you are everything to me
you are cobalt elemental

[chorus]

Out Of This World Lyrics – Bush

When we die
We go into the arms of those who remember us

We are home now
Out of our heads
Out of our minds
Out of this world
Out of this time

Are you drowning or waving?
I just want you to save me
Should we try to get along?
Just try to get along

So we move
We change by the speed of the choices that we make
And the barriers are all self-made
That's so retrograde

Are you drowning or waving?
I just need you to save me
Should we try to get along?
Just try to get along

I am alive
I'm awake to the trials of confusion create
There are times when I feel the way we're about to break
When there's too much to say

We are home now
Out of our heads
Out of our minds
Out of this world
Out of this time
Out of this time

Float Lyrics – Bush

it's a beautiful world
everyone's insane
either you swim
either you fade

it's a revolution time
we're sleepin' at the wheel
apocalypse child
in a nuclear field

we wanna change the world
but not what holds us back
i want to be for you
what i've never had

all of this time
i'm just tryin' to reach you
through the rain traffic
as we float into space
your wide eyes
hide your face
as we float inbetween
i am with you
if you bleed

Fragile to the waves
Vicissitudes of days
when i am with you
i feel a little brave

the madness and the wars
the circles that we run
confusion we import
look what we have become

all of this time
i was just trying to reach you
through the rain traffic
as we float into space
your wide eyes
hide your face
as we float inbetween
i'd die with you
if you bleed
as we float

as we float into space
your wide eyes
hide your face
as we float inbetween
i'd die with you
if you bleed

as we float
i'd die with you
i'd die with you
i'd die with you

Warm Machine Lyrics – Bush

I memorize the basics
Making strange faces
There's a thousand miles to go
Without blinking

Gravitate spacewards
Find a home for the head
From my basement
No darkness ever left

This is the night
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine

Some days are playful
Making play faces
But we will not let it through
The darkness and the sense
Or being born to lose

This is the night
This is the sound
Her comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine
This is the life
This is the sound
Here comes a warm machine
Such a warm machine

If I never know we can only feel
I'll take the help
I'll take a slice
Warm alright now
Cos I feel alright

I memorize the basics, basics, basics

This is the night
This is the sound
Here comes the warm machine
Such a warm machine Such a warm machine Such a warm
machine, machine, machine:

Jesus Online Lyrics – Bush

Whatever she wants from me
Whatever device
Whether in kindness
Whether in spite
What can I say
What can I do I can't help myself
I let the monster through

Wherever she sends me
Wherever the plane
Perfect black dress
Perfect grave
What can I say
What can I do
I did it to myself
I did it all confused

Jesus online
Wires around the world
Feel invincible
Computer car and girl
Jesus online
Wires around the world
Feel invincible
To be perfect just like you
To be perfect just like you

The Chemicals Between Us Lyrics – Bush

I want you to remember
A love so full it could send us all ways
I want you to surrender
All my feelings rose today
And I want you to remain
The power of children can amaze
I'll try not to complain
I know that's a pisser baby

The chemicals between us
The walls that lie between us
Lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonlier place
Than lying in this bed

I want you to remember
Everything you said
Every driven word
Like a hammer, hell, to my head

The chemicals between us
There is no lonlier place
Then lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonlier place
Than lying in this bed

The chemicals between us
The chemicals between us
Lying in this bed

We're of the hollow men
We are the naked ones
We never meant you harm
Never meant you wrong
I'd like to thank
All of my lovers, lovers, lovers

The chemicals between us
The army of achievers
Lying in this bed
The chemicals displaced
There is no lonlier face
Than lying in this bed

The chemicals between us
The chemicals between us
The chemicals

The chemicals between us

English Fire Lyrics – Bush

World news, world news
Well you said let's be free
Well you said I'll be me
Death row hearts are hard to mend
Why shoot myself for your sins

All my love, all my love
All my love, all my love

Well you said retribute
Well you said substitute
Burn myself on your bed
Your crown of thorns my crown of lead
I'll wake up before I drown
I'll wake up before I drown

All my love, all my love (let's me free)
All my love, all my love (let's me free)
All my love, all my love
All my love, all my love

We'll hang ourselves by the English fire
We'll hang ourselves

All my love, all my love
All my love, all my love (let's me free)
All my love, all my love (let's me free)
All my love, all my love

I'll wake up before I drown
All my love (let's me free)
All my love
All my love (let's me free)

Spacetravel Lyrics – Bush

They're polishing the government
Resembles a last waltz
We are the playthings
We are the form
Soon it may come
Since we can rise
Too long since I've seen you
We move like satellites

My future lies
In space travel
She's coming over me

They're burning the tenements
Topless progressive thinking
Political holes
Got six but pray for seven

My future lies
In space travel
She's coming over me
I employ spies
To stroll the gravel
They never want to leave
The future lies
The future lies
Scared of the government scared of the government

The future lies
In space travel
There's someone after me
I employ spies
In silver tassels
The never seem that pleased

The future lies
The future lies (space)
The future lies
The future lies (space)
The future lies
The future lies (space travel)
The future lies (space travel)

40 Miles From the Sun Lyrics – Bush

There is nowhere left to hide
There is nothing to be done
No people to be saved
No pets we've never names
40 miles from the sun

As darkness craves the mind
We come undone without our pride
No time on the earth to come
All the pleasures just begun
40 miles from the sun

In our coats beneath the layers
Wash my skin of all the hate
We should sleep late
Everything just kind of grates
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun

I need to lose to make it right
I'll confront the stars tonight
I will babble I will bite
You will never know how much you shine
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun
40 miles from the sun

Prizefighter Lyrics – Bush

These are the days
When I fear for my life
Think that's strange
Well that's the waste of you

Sun up time now for you to run
I will always know you - You're a special one
Now I'm up on this climb, up on this climb
I won't fade away

The best is yet to come
Sad you're not around
The best is yet to come
Better get your feet on the ground

Prisoner or passenger
A free man on scavenger
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter

Who will be there
Cover when you fall
We're all chasing something
How come you never call

The best is yet to come
Sad you're not around
The best is yet to come
Better get your feet back on the ground

Prisoner of passenger
A free man or scavenger
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter
Prisoner of passenger
A free man or scavenger
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter

I thought you were all beautiful
It doesn't make sense, sense, sense
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter
I'm a prizefighter

The Disease Of The Dancing Cats Lyrics – Bush

Infested and polluted
50 tons of mercury dumped in the bay
It's bleeding there's no proof
That's no way to treat a good friend
Your whiskey talks louder
Than most things I've read you said
In artu, in place now
Site back unwind and relax

Big cheese is all greed
It's all relative what you need
Happy birthday
Happy birthday
Happy birthday here's your nerve gas

All the fishermen and their families
All sickly crumbling cerebellum
It's all over for urang-a-tang
Looks like they're back on the street again

Mistrusted, disrupted
Rape land and kill good habit
World weary, world broken Injected, transmitted
So tons of mercury dumped in the bay
It's breathing-It's put the dog back in the basket

All the fisherman and their families
All sickly growing sentimental
It's all over for urang-a-tang
Looks like their back on the street again
All the fishermen and their families
It's all over for urang-a-tangs
Looks like they're back on the street again
It's all over for urang-a-tangs
Looks like, looks like, looks like

Invaded, downgraded
Your bile lands right on my head
Uncalled for, unwanted
My sinking zero tolerance

All the fisherman and their families
All sickly crumbling cerebellum
It's all over for urang-a-tangs
Looks like they're back on the street again
All the fishermen and their families
It's all over for urang-a-tangs
Looks like they're back on the street again
It's all over for the urang-a-tang
Looks like it's a street again

Altered States Lyrics – Bush

Living in a cage
Washing in a birdbath
Sinking in a fish bowl
On a broken farm
I try to never lie
I really do
I wonder if my friends
Will get me through
Conscious of the was as best we can
17 ways to kill a man
States we've been through

Killing nostalgia
For future swims
Trash all your bridges
Kill the rock all roll thing
I want to move on
With no complains
Building our walls with yesterday
Might as well shine before you slide
Might as well you live before you die
States we've been through
Talk about states
A whole lot of emptiness

Living in a state of constant chasing
A river of flux for our tasting
I try to never lie
I really do
I wonder if my friends will get me through
It always seems to rain
When you leave
I try to stem the flow
As we bleed

States we've been through
Talk about states, states
Talk about states, states

Letting The Cables Sleep Lyrics – Bush

You in the dark
You in the pain
You on the run
Living a hell
Living your ghost
Living your end
Never seem to get in the place that I belong
Don't wanna lose the time
Lose the time to come

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

You in the sea
On a decline
Breaking the waves
Watching the lights go down
Letting the cables sleep

Whatever you say it's alright
Whatever you do it's all good
Whatever you say it's alright
Silence is not the way
We need to talk about it
If heaven is on the way
We'll wrap the world around it
If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way

I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

If heaven is on the way
If heaven is on the way
I'm a stranger in this town
I'm a stranger in this town

Mindchanger Lyrics – Bush

Help me sometimes, I need that much
Don't you think it's strange
How we can turn to dust

Think it's strange, like really strained
We'll never run when we've got all these broken bones

It's so hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go
I will make you change your mind
I will make you change your mind

I think of me sometimes, I'd never tell
Do you recognize me, think that you know me well
I think you're changing, configurating
Destroyed the lines that fed the goods to your heart

It's so hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go
Run with the hunted (as you come)
Run with the hunted
I will make you change your mind
I will make you change your mind
It's so hard to let you go
It's so hard to let you go (run with the hunted)
As you come
I will make you change your mind
I will make you change your mind

"Razorblade Suitcase" (1996)

Personal Holloway Lyrics – Bush

tune my weaker eye
spit white
hold the world up all day
she's blue in the face again
paracetamol
sleep the darkness all away
drinking kitchen paint to dye the
winter
i hope we'll never see again
deaf and dumb with the lights on
deaf and dumb with the lights on
married by signs
married by signs
personal holloway
six month linen
it's safe to say we are alone
suburban suicide
watching night come amber
it's all so temporary
move a little way
move a little way now
move a little way
move a little way now
bleed life
breath life
could be a better plan
could be a better plan
could be a better plan

Greedy Fly Lyrics – Bush

do you feel the way you hate
do you hate the way you feel
always closest to the flame
ever closer to the blade
i am poison crazy lush
built these hands to lift me up
we are servants to our formulaic ways
i'm screaming daisies
from 14 miles away
i've got my own time
got it all today
make up your mind
i need some help
to find this mind
limbo this and limbo that
you were this and you were that
ever know that what you fear is what you
find
this indian summer
i signed my life away
there's a greedy fly in here
and i fly away

Swallowed Lyrics – Bush

warm sun feed me up
i'm leery loaded up
loathing for a change
and i slip some
boil away
swallowed followed
heavy about everything
but my love
swallowed sorrowed
i'm with everyone and yet not
i'm with everyone and yet not
i'm with everyone and yet not
just wanna be myself
hey you said that you would love to try
some
hey you said that you would love to die
some
in the middle of a world on a fishhook
you're the wave
you're the wave
you're the wave
swallowed borrowed
heavy about everything
but my love
swallowed hollowed
sharp about everyone
but yourself
swallowed oh no
i'm with everyone and yet not
i'm with everyone and you're not
i'm with everyone and yet not
piss on self-esteem
forward busted knee
sick head
blackened lungs
and i'm a simple selfish son
swallowed followed
oh no i'm with everyone and yet not
got to get away from here
got to get away from here
i miss the one that i love a lot
i miss the one that i love a lot

Insect Kin Lyrics – Bush

iron lung i know you well
deal with you like a bad spell
see the trail moon burns
red strip and vicadin
you were the only one
you're the censor
you'll never people me
i'm not defenseless
in the afternoon as the light dims
build a life out of all this semtex
you're the brightest one
you were the centre
the perfect opposite of what you asked for
it's not just one way
a negative factor
with all these wasps out
i'd better take cover
copper tongue beam me up
lonely without my impediments
start to save what we used to steal
walking on gelatin
i never noticed you
you were the brightest one
you were wide of me
just like the english sun
you caught the light again
in a perfect way
the biggest threat of all
is in the alleyway
you're the demon seed
you're the factor
feel better with a little bit of plaster
it's not just one way
a negative factor
with all these wasps out
better take cover
there's all the pain
in the way she talks
all the pain in the way she walks
all the pain in her wave goodbye
all the pain in the way she smiles
all the pain in her fatal charm
all the pain in her arms

Cold Contagious Lyrics – Bush

wherever you are
you will carry always
truth of the scars
and the darkness of your faith
slowly move on
how did we get to here
it all went wrong
gravity claiming all your tears
everything looks
so much better now
you will get yours
you have no right
to ask me now
you were never that around
i have missed
reality day-trips and your
suit me suit me ways
turn out the light switch
we've been awake for days
and no-one's coming round
here no more
you will get yours
you have no right
to calm me down
you were never that around
i have missed
cold contagious
all the mighty mighty men
what you save is what
you lose out in the end
cold contagious
paint your perfect day
i don't mind this
i'm better off by the way
deeply grounded
you will get yours
cold contagious
all the mighty mighty men
what you save is what you lose
out in the end
cold contagious

A Tendency to Start Fires Lyrics – Bush

strange zoo
strange blaze
douse my head in flames
coming through got to get some
happiness is a bad son
forceps
kitchen tools
deconstruct your every move
feels better when you're here
guillotine just got here
back bend
back break
please yourself to make it rate
live it all at your own cost
so many just got lost
leaning for fire
leaning to fire
leaning to fire
here's tomorrow man
best of my ability
chasing what i can

here's tomorrow man
instinct
bare boned
light it up
take it home
you will be all things
you'll get what you bring
leaning to fire
leaning to fire
leaning to fire
here's tomorrow man
best of my ability
chasing watercans
here's tomorrow man
best of my civility
with our own tongue
here's tomorrow man

Mouth Lyrics – Bush

you gave me this
made me give
your silver grin
still sticking it in
you have soul machine
soul machine
the longest kiss
peeling furniture days
drift madly to you
pollute my heart drain
you have broken at me
broken me
all your mental armor drags me down
nothing hurts like your mouth
your loaded smiles
pretty just desserts
wish it all for you
so much it never hurts
you have soul machine
stone at me
all your mental armor drags me down
we can't breathe when you come around
all your mental armor drags me down
nothing hurts like your mouth mouth
mouth
your mouth mouth mouth
your mouth mouth mouth
we've been missing long before
never found our way home
we've been missing long before
where we'll find our way
you gave me this
made me give
you have soul machine
broken free
all your mental armor drags me down
we can't breathe when you come around
all your mental armor drags me down
nothing hurts like your mouth mouth
mouth
your mouth mouth mouth
your mouth mouth mouth
all your mental armor
all your mental armor
and your mouth
mouth

Straight no Chaser Lyrics – Bush

always be there face i live with
always be there face i live with
abscess memory with broken fingers
all the fallen down angels
raw pain distress it's all in the way we
know
that we could have it all some satellites
of pain can't always be ignored
war on all sides war on all sides
drink life as it comes straight no chaser
straight no chaser
drink life as it comes straight no chaser
climb inside you away from strangers
building a system of alleys and
motorways
it's all in the way that we know
we could have it all some satellites
of pain can't always be ignored
it's all in the face of what we thought
we knew before war on all sides
war on all sides keep on driving
hair left morning wet
there's nothing like losing you
there's nothing like losing you
there's nothing like losing you
there's nothing like losing you

History Lyrics – Bush

gave my love 2 thousand yesterdays
nothing is wrong
i am always a little late
probably will probably won't
get this disease cut out of my throat
all of a sudden
you come my way
baby believer i won't be saved by morning
after struggling my name slave turned to
master
history moans
mouth of father
edge of my bed
benzedrine telephone
struggling to speak
sicker than the sickest dog
falling faster than a liar's grin
we need to be saved from the shit we're in
i believe in you i have found the perfect
way
to bring me down i won't be saved
by all your yesterdays piss on my grave
piss on the the underlay
history moans
mouth of our father
it's the movement we're after

Synapse Lyrics – Bush

i don't mind this
barefoot again
just a skin full
what we choose to forget
thinking you know
thinking you see all sides
casting a stone from your hand
yeah right
hell is where the heart is
synapse again
nothing more i can do
i have not done again
only worded nothing wrong
taking a cue from seven days
i bet you never listen
burning holes in all your clothes
razorblade suitcase
all the tricks of the trade
favourite ways you can lose
favourite ways you can hate
hell is where the heart is
synapse again
nothing more i can do
i haven't done again
i haven't done again
only worded nothing wrong
taking a cue for better days
i bet you never listen
burning holes in all your clothes
burning holes in all your clothes
hell is where the heart is
synapse again
nothing more i can do
i haven't done again
hell is where the heart is
where the heart is
where the heart is
