• Everything In Its Right Place

Everything, everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place

Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon
Yesterday I woke up sucking a lemon

Everything, everything, everything..
In its right place
In its right place
In its right place
Right place

There are two colours in my head
There are two colours in my head
What, what is that you try to say?
What, what was that you tried to say?
Tried to say.. tried to say..
Tried to say.. tried to say.. tried to say…

Everything, everything, everything..
Everything in its right place

 

• Kid A

I slipped away
I slipped on a little white lie

We’ve got heads on sticks
You’ve got ventriloquists (times 2)

Staring at the shadows at the edge of my bed (times 4)

Rats and children’ll follow me out of town.
Rats and children follow me out of their homes.

come on kids

 

• The National Anthem

Everyone
Everyone around.. yeah
Everyone just stop.. yeah
What’s going on?
What’s going on?

Everyone
Everyone just stop.. yeah
Everyone stop the fear
What’s going on?
What’s going on?

What’s going on? (x3)

 

• How To Disappear Completely

That man, that’s not me
I go where I please
I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey

I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here, I’m not here

In a little while
I’ll be gone
The moment’s already passed
Yeah, it’s gone

I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here, I’m not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes

I’m not here
This isn’t happening
I’m not here, I’m not here….

• Optimistic

Flies are buzzing around my head
Vultures circling the dead
Picking up every last crumb
The big fish eat the little ones
The big fish eat the little ones
Not my problem give me some

You can try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
(x2)

This one’s optimistic
This one went to market
This one just came out of the swamp
This one dropped a payload
Fodder for the animals
Living on an animal farm

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
(x2)

I’d really like to help you man
I’d really like to help you man…..
Nervous messed up marionette
Floating around on a prison ship

If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
The best you can is good enough
If you try the best you can
If you try the best you can
Dinosaurs Roaming the earth (x3)

 

• In Limbo

Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
I got a message I can’t read,
Another message I can’t read

Being the first in the Irish Sea,
I got a message I can’t read,
Another message I can’t read

I’m on your side
Nowhere to hide
Trapdoors that open
I spiral down

You’re living in a fantasy world,
You’re living in a fantasy world.

I’m lost at sea,
Don’t bother me
I’ve lost my way,
I’ve lost my way

You’re living in a fantasy world,
You’re living in a fantasy world,
You’re living in a fantasy world…
This beautiful world

Lundy, Fastnet, Irish Sea
I got a message I can’t read
Another message I can’t read

 

• Idioteque

Who’s in a bunker, who’s in a bunker
Women and children first
Women and children first
Women and children
I’ll laugh until my head comes off
I’ll swallow till I burst
Until I burst
Until I..

Who’s in a bunker, who’s in a bunker
I haven’t seen too much
I haven’t seen enough
You haven’t seen it
I’ll laugh until my head comes off
Women and children first
And children first
And children..

Here I’m alive, everything all of the time
Here I’m alive, everything all of the time

Ice age coming, ice age coming
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both sides
Let me hear both..

Ice age coming, ice age coming
Throw it in the fire
Throw it in the fire
Throw it in the..

We’re not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening
We’re not scaremongering
This is really happening, happening

Mobiles skwrking
Mobiles chirping
Take the money and run
Take the money and run
Take the money..

Here I’m alive, everything all of the time
Background:
The first of the children

 

• Morning Bell

A morning bell
A morning bell
Light another candle and
Release me
Release me

You can keep the furniture
A bump on the head
Howling down the chimney
Release me
Release me
Please
Release me
Release me

Where’d you park the car
Where’d you park the car
Clothes are on the lawn with the furniture
And I might as well
I might as well

Sleepy jack the fire drill
Running round and round and round and round and round…
And round

Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half
Cut the kids in half

I wanted to tell you but you never listen
I keep walking
And I wanted to tell you but you never listen
And I keep walkin’, walkin’, walkin’

The lights are on but nobody’s home
And everyone wants to be your friend
And nobody wants to be afraid
And everyone wants to be your friend
And nobody wants to be afraid
Until you’re walking, walking, walking

 

• Motion Picture Soundtrack

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

I think you’re crazy, maybe
I think you’re crazy, maybe

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It’s not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you’re crazy, maybe
I think you’re crazy, maybe

I will see you in the next life

Early version has a second verse:
Beautiful angel
Pulled apart at birth
Limbless and helpless
I can’t even recognize you

I think you’re crazy, maybe (x6)

I will see you in the next life
