I see ya lookin', I see ya stare But it aint just me, Oh, I swear YOU CAN SMELL IT EVERYWHERE Its on yr table, its in the chairs Seepin' outta all the clothes you wear YOU CAN SMELL IT EVERYWHERE CH: you can smell it everywhere cos you can smell it everywhere If you got nothing to hide you got nothing to fear the Priests runnin' outta dirty underwear You can smell it everywhere Yonder castles, thither weir In wine boxes under Freedom Square Cos you can smell it everywhere YOU CAN SMELL IT EVERYWHERE ch. They say..."Back off! Or you'll never see again" "Back off or you'll never read again" Money LOVES, & Money FEARS You need a little till Wolf gets here YOU CAN SMELL IT EVRYWHERE dont worry honey, you'll get yr share if you bide yr time on the Union Chair YOU CAN SMELL IT EVRYWHERE YOU CAN SMELL IT EVRYWHERE

Fair Warning 05:29
I smell a storm ahead Or are you walking dead? Cos if we're not insane It kinda feels the same Fair Warning Fear Warning Another talking head Trying to dope the dead But c'mon, its all a painted poise Of white noise, white noise, white noise White noise Yeh, he's yr puppet fool But from an Honoured school O c'mon, its just a painful noise Of white noise, white noise, white noise White noise... I've never seen a thing To make me trust a king Cos when he got no clothes I feel a cold wind blow Fair Warning Fear Warning Another fucking fool Who never breaks the rules Oh c'mon, he's just a painted poise Of white noise, white noise, white noise White noise O well he's gettin' ahead Livin' off the dead, So c'mon, another naked noise Of white noise, white noise, white noise White noise Yeh, Its hardly a mystery He's forgetting the History His Future is his Past Think fast, no morning Fair Warning Fear Warning... Another talking head Trying to dope the dead But c'mon, its all a painted poise Of white noise, white noise, white noise White noise Yeh, he's yr puppet fool But from an Honoured school O c'mon, its just a naked noise Of white noise, white noise, white noise White noise... Its hardly a mystery We're forgetting our History The Future is your Past Think fast, no mourning Fair Warning Fear Warning ... (ad nauseum)

You say "Go get me another, I'm straighening up!" You say " Go get me another..." You say " Get me another brother, I'm straighening up!"

No I really quite like when my mind is blind I really don't mind I'm blind Im straightening up! Im breakin' up! Cos you don't ...no you don't No you don't know when to stop x2

In this cold cold heart once you get pinned on the mattress next thing, the world is yr stage once you get caught with yr pants down they're downloading you from a page so just sew my hands together yeh, just tie my hands together (yeh, birds of a feather) ch. in this cold cold heart C'mon say what you say I can take what you say I can take what you say I can break what you say you may reap what you sow but you never quite know you never quite know you'll never quite know (walk down, walk down... talk down, talk down...) ch

Rituals 11:03
... This aint no Moon River Dont tell me not to Blaspheme cos you dont know (you dont know... You dont know...) We are cartoons Obscene Squeaky cleeeeen... (You dont know You dont know..) You dont know ... What it means Free... Free ... (...Took a bullet in the side of the head... Noone asked him if he wanted a bullet In the side of his head...but thats what he got but thats what he got...) (you dont know...you dont know) I have to stop myself I have to stop myself I have to stop myself I have to stop myself All the Catholic cheats All the squeaky clean I have to stop myself I have to stop myself All the promises Are broken now I have to stop myself I have to stop myself... Turn yr broken light on - I feel ill From a sickened Generation born to Kill & all yr beggars prayers are useless now But I'm still dreaming... I have to stop myself I have to stop myself Just to talk it straight I have to stop myself Took a bullet in the head In the side of the head I have to stop myself I have to stop... Turn yr broken light on - I feel ill From a sickened Generation born to Kill & all yr beggars prayers are useless now But I'm still dreaming... Turn yr broken light on To find yr soul A halfwit education of Bullet holes & all yr beggars prayers are useless now But I keep dreaming... (We hear All the Experts are in charge... How much they dont know...look after themselves Dont tell me not to Blaspheme when you dont know you dont know... ) Count to five... The dogs are breathing now Yeh, take another bullet Take another bullet Take another bullet You dont know You dont know... We wont forget, dont worry We wont forget We dont forget,dont forget We dont forget, dont forget Forget...forget ...forget...Forget You dont know You ... dont ... Forget
