Verse 1 (JP-E) This here’s the brother you’re wantin’, bae Don’t take no chances with your romances I see the love in your eyes when you see my Cryståise Let’s see if I can make some time for you I’ll buy you and your girl some bub I flash more green than the traffic light Down in the club there’s no line and there’s no closing time Maybe I could make you my VIP (VIP) Chorus (Both) I just can’t face it! What is it you can’t face? I just can’t face it! I’m in denial! I just can’t face it! What is it you can’t face? I just can’t face it!
Modern life! Verse 2 (Bobby Raygun) Where the girls at? I got more rhymes than a ride’s got thrills Satisfied, gratified, like ringing tills Throw off your diamonds. Throw off your pills. The early bird catches the girls. Set you down on ma’ ‘W’ linen. First to the finish line. Baby, I’m winnin’ Angel tonight, but I got you sinnin’ A hundred to one, but ‘You’re one in a million’ And I want my LA mocking jay. Hentai? Oh my! What we do today? Got so many hanz that they call me mr zimmer. A dream inside a dream. Watch me waving in the mirror. Temperature is higher than a m*********ckin’ fever Phone camera flash got you shakin’ like a seizure Star 69 so we can both be the receiver Kneel down at my alter I’ll make you a believer. Modern life! Can’t face it! Can’t face it! x2

The Beat of Your Heart (free) 04:40
Verse 1 The beat of our heart The bass in your soul Just keeps on pumping It takes control And we’re on fire It burns inside I’m with desires I cannot hide I need only you Here in my arms Take me forever In your charms Chorus Yeah yeah yeah-eh! X2 Breakdown (Spoken) The wheels glide along the glistening highway Like fingers caressing skin The steering wheel anticipates every touch, every tiny movement With each acceleration your heartbeat quickens This is passion This is movement This is your life (Verse 1 repeats in background) This is passion This is movement This is your life

Glory (free) 03:20
Lyrics: Chorus 1 It’s all for the glory And the grace and the green Baby, don’t you worry Replace, rewind and repeat And repeat Verse 1 Just like phosphorous burns. Prying The curtain turns. Now I can’t Ever dream again. I was suplexed on your Pay-Per-View They nailed my wife and children too High fives all round Chorus 2 It’s all blood guts and glory, And the mace and the screams It’s all for the story Replace, rewind and repeat Like a bitter dream Verse 2 Just like lipstick red cherry lips They blamed me for unhappy kids on a List of the top ten tales of shame I wore spandex and a bridal gown on the Front cover of every town The neighbourhood watch made me a household name Breakdown I’m calling, waiting for the prime-time murder A life these days is cheap as a Niedriger burger Go larger for just a few cents more The grave is deeper for just a few cents more Go Larger Go Deeper Dream on

Live Feed (Bait) (free) 02:41
Verse 1: Blissful pirouetting squares of light Vibrating happily all the day and night 24 Hours “you can have what I have” All you’ve got to do is put on this mask Best of offers in the masquerade Turn around so we can penetrate Call now we’ll turn the feelings on again Stop Chorus Feeling. Feelin’ Is like breathing. Breathing We’re feeding, feeding. You’re believing, leaving There’s always easy-listening or Oblivion With interest rates to suit everyone 21 flavours of poisonous gas We’ll happily take plastic, credit or cash Instruction manual for an early grave Keep on digging and you’ve got it made Tell your children not to hesitate The time to care is through Chorus

Verse 1 I wanna see your soul So move your body till it breaks Baby, I am in control From the frame to the shimmy shakes Show me all your secrets With that smile on your face I can offer you respect I will put you in your place Chorus Make your love a fist And then hit me where it hurts I can never resist Come on baby let’s get worse Verse 2 I can see your lens The eye of the devil Of my truths I am cleansed In my image you will revel Middle Eight You’re less than human to me, baby. x4 Chorus

Time Piece (free) 03:36
Verse 1 I was walking through the desert When a man came up to me and said ‘Mr, would you like to buy a watch?’ ‘It’s gold and silver. I really think you need to buy it.’ I said, ‘oh yes! Please sir, I’d like to buy this watch. I want nothing more’ ‘Please sell it to me. I want it now. This need is something I can not ignore’ Middle Eight Time is running out Bottle the ocean. Bottle the ocean and the stars. Bottle the ocean. Bottle the ocean and those little dreams lost at sea. I was walking through the desert When a man came up to me and said ‘Mr, would you like to buy a watch?’ ‘It’s gold and silver. I really think you need to buy it.’ I said, ‘oh yes! Please sir, I’d like to buy this watch. I want nothing more’ ‘Please sell it to me. I want it now. This need is something I can not ignore’

Verse 1 (Bobby Raygun) What follows footprints in the snow Fading with every candle light that I blow This journey from the cradle to the grave Shaped by every memory I tried to save (JP-E) We’re gonna burn it all The house they built will fall Now we’ll return To the life that we must learn Chorus (Both) EPSIO EPS EPSIO EPS EPSIO EPS EPSIO EPS (Bobby Raygun) Before these things are laid to rest Wrapped in this cloak of dreams in which I invest Where marks of chisel and the hammer made Destroyed, forgotten memories I tried to save (JP-E) All this time Desire was designed ’N all this time Your want in words defined Chorus

You Must Be Joking (free) 03:26
Verse 1 You’ve got to know that this is my trick hand You’ve got to see that this is your, your fantasy You’ve got to fear. You’ve got to fear what you don’t know You’ve got to need what you don’t own Chorus You must be joking x4 Middle Eight When I was young. We’d stare into the sky and watch the flames rise When I was young. We’d stare into the sky and watch the planes fly Bridge America, land of the free Burn brightly on my TV A miracle land of the free Shot through with ecstasy Chorus

Chorus I’ve been to London, I know what it’s like Just keep your head down and you, you live your life The worlds a circle with a cross inside We’re one big target. Wake up! It’s time to die! Verse 1 (PL-ease) Got a tiny flat for the price of a castle Damp on the walls. Just a sink in the bathroom (Teeth Collider) The roads less travelled (PL-ease) Full of danger and mystery (Teeth Collider) Well, the roads most traveled are (PL-ease) Quite often touristy Food so good that it’s almost sickening Check out the museum of Natural History Go and see a show at the fashionable West End (Teeth Collider) You pick the right one (PL-ease) You might see a legend (Teeth Collider) Go and have some laughter at the comedy store (PL-ease) Have a drink in Soho if you want to be bored Travel on the tube if you’re going far Save a bit of money with an Oyster card! Chorus Verse 2 (Teeth Collider) Yo! Yo! It’s out bread disease, grown immune to fire They stamp down the dead while the buildings get higher (PL-ease) You call me a taxi, (Teeth Collider) I’ll call you a liar If you think your journey’s worth a single penny to the buyer A scar of tiny tumours, a recursive perpendicular The cattle runs to bolt guns on the North Circular A life spent in orbit. A treadmill, sugar coated, And every place you think you have to be is unimportant. Mass unemployment and class disappointment equals metaphysical education rollin’ station to station as you run out of patience in the mud, trash, rot and heavy water, cause the Thames is full of blood and the mayor’s a fuckin’ rotter. Chorus Verse 3 (Teeth Collider) Neo-pagans are cut rate Fagin’s holdin’ stay-ins in the shape of pretty vacants who display no affectations of abatin’, hatin’ the waste taste the position their parents paid, prayed, faked and raped to obtain them Well a network of agents choke down libations. Reptilian inclinations awaiting their transformation. ‘Cause outside the water’s raising to wash away foundations to leave you drowning and waving. We’re just bait for the next stage in the manifestation of the hex, sex and death of the pyramid x-ray. The Centre Point death ray. Comets smear the blackened sky and where are heroes. Not here, no no just Nero fat Ground Zero fiddling as the shuttle hits. One last gasp, as you surpass the last of the rat pack and the hooks in your back slowly take up the slack. You return to the ocean, swim free at all corners of the map, tow it out to sea and scuttle it! Chorus (variation) I’ve lived in London, I know what it’s like. You keep your head down and avoid the signs The worlds a circle with a cross inside. One target market. Pay up! It’s time to buy! Verse 4 (PL-ease) Picked up and cut up in an unlicensed taxi Can’t afford the rent so you’re selling your jacksy See where the Queen lives and spends your taxes Try an East End pub, see how a gangster relaxes Mugged by a man who calls himself Guvnor Is he a wanker? No, he’s a Londoner (All) The kings by the river gonna loot your future. UH! x9

Damocles (free) 03:15
Verse 1 The handsome reporter says ‘don’t make a sound’ As they cover your mouth with the cold black tape They promised a garden made of oil and steel Building an empire of greed, war and rape Chorus Yellow bellied motherfuckers burn the hospitals down Yellow bellied motherfuckers burn the colleges down x2 Verse 2 Hallelujah! Praise the lord I woke up on fire I bow to my TV set My god the liar. I clap my hands and walk the line Cover myself and fold, fold, fold Chorus verse 3 The burning black headlines read ‘don’t be afraid. Report you neighbours and reap the rewards’ A nation imprisoned Freedom beneath the sword
