Postcards From A Young Man

Quote:
I don't believe in absolutes anymore
I'm quite prepared to admit I was wrong
This life it sucks your principles away
You have to fight against it every single day

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

It is like so many other things
As distant as your former sins
So sad and lonely and so derelict
As the optimism that we once shared

These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again
These are the postcards from a young man
They may never be written or posted again

I'll send you postcards every single day
Just to prove I still exist
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in
And I will not give up and I will not give in

I won't betray your confidence
I won't pretend my way was lost
This world will not impose its will
I will not give up and I will not give in

Some Kind Of Nothingness

Quote:
The sky is falling in on you
Crushed any happiness you knew
That tree gave more to you than love
It's still there but baby your gone

Remember you stretched out in the sun
All alone 4 ever conclusions forgone
Will you find some kind of nothingness
Still and lonely like an old school photograph

Laid yourself out under the stars
Some peace at last so don't be sad
A fitting end to your "end"
But "baby deaths our only friend"

Remember you - stretched out in the sun
All alone 4 ever conclusions forgone
Will you find some kind of nothingness
Still and lonely like an old school photograph

Your future glory all empty of thought
There's beauty doing nothing at all
It's what you wanted it's what you got
Your final search for truth has stopped

Remember you stretched out in the sun
All alone 4 ever conclusions forgone
Will you find some kind of nothingness
Still and lonely like an old school photograph

The Descent (Pages 1 & 2)

Quote:
Will my kingdom disappear and fade away
Will sleep overcome the hurt and then decay
I can't be poisoned and you will not make me cry
I've cleansed my ugliness & I've cleansed my paranoia

The winner takes it all
My baby teeth are gone
Into a better place
That I have yet to go
Will I burn or will I pray
Will sleep consume my waking days
Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent
I hope I'm making sense
I've lost my last defence
This is my last descent

Have my expectations gone too far again
Do I have the courage of the books I've read
Do you understand the pain we're going through
There is no need to leave us* beaten black and blue

The winner takes it all
My baby teeth are gone
Into a better place
That I have yet to go
Will I burn or will I pray
Will sleep consume my waking days
Descent is getting steeper day by day

This is my last descent
I hope I'm making sense
I've lost my last defence
This is my last descent

This is my last descent
I hope I'm making sense
I've lost my last defence
The pages that you left
__
* should be "me"

Hazelton Avenue

Quote:
The modern world sits so easily
A different kind of honesty
Yes I worship at the altar
I am a happy consumer

A record shop and some clarity
Don't need a wilderness to feel solitary
Oh don't need a wilderness

So take me back so take me back
To Hazelton Avenue to Hazelton Avenue

Motion coffee sleep
It's all I really need
Moving on accept all my apologies
Oh motion coffee sleep
Please accept all my apologies

Amongst the crowd the disconnect is sweeter
Alone in bed the joy is even deeper
I feel like I could - write a best seller

So take me back - so take me back
To Hazelton Avenue to Hazelton Avenue

Auto-Intoxication

Quote:
The more I want to be me
The less I know myself
The living left to die
While ghosts are brought to life

Welcome to the new slave trade
Drained of delusion & buried in debt
How the hell do we find each other
Suffering auto-intoxication

The disaster's not coming
It's already arrived
I am so lucky
I think that I've survived

I am what I am my body belongs to me
My work will set me free and fulfils my dreams
The new economy embraces the ruins
It makes us stronger and soothes our fears

Welcome to the new slave trade
Drained of delusion & buried in debt
How the hell do we find each other
Suffering auto-intoxication

The disaster's not coming
It's already arrived
I am so lucky
I think that I've survived

Seriously Nicky, the use of '4' instead of 'For' WILL result in your death

Sorry, but those official lyrics for "Auto-Intoxication" are wrong. On the chorus, James does not sing "The disaster's not coming", he sings "The disaster isn't coming". I've listened to it again and again and thats what he sings.

MANICS FAIL!

Definitely right, I spent ages fiddling with equalisers to work it out, you are correct, I guess Jimbo sometimes just sings slight variations without realising.
