ION

What is my mission,
The great Divine’s great vision,
Of my holy Ascension
Shed my excreta creation
Product of nuclear fission
Generator of sensation,
Unwavering fixation,
Dare to question my intention
Indiscriminate indecision,
Misery mixed with celebration,
Turn up the dial on tension
For maximum exploitation,
deployment disposition
cowering dissimulation,
Is it so hard to believe
I can fool an entire nation.

Headbutt
03:24

He was asking for the time but his timing was out of line,
They were dancing in the pub, and he was inappropriate,
Waiting watching from afar, dreaming of Ménage à trois
Down came the mist of red and he was fight’n with his head
This is how we met, this is how we met,
A head butt was all it took for us,
We were in love, we were in love, we were in love.
Don’t send me the billing,
For your replacement filling,
no, I'm...
Sure the NHS can fix the rest…
Or I can fix what’s left
In a moment time was gone, thirty years have seemed so long
Payback from an ancient steal, some wounds they just never heal
He pulled up outside the gaff, ready for revenge at last
A greeting from a pacifist, greeted with a Glasgow kiss
This is how we met…

The Secret
03:12
|

Mix in the parts of the recipe,
Weighed on the scales A minor, F, C, G
Hack off a part of celebrity,
Beat off with a pinch of controversy,
Feed the dough into the press,
The emphasis is on the way that you dress,
You won’t succeed if you say you can’t,
If in doubt pretend you’re trés important
Another hit, another hit,
I got the key and I got the secret,
It’s a hit, it’s a hit,
He’s got the key and he’s got the secret,
To get airplay, is Child's play,
We got the means and he know the way,
To reach the top be prepared to sink low
And write a song that includes the word ‘Radio’
Radio
Repeat the verse, repeat the first verse,
Just make it easy for you to rehearse,
Follow this simple formulae,
To whisk a smash hit record soufflé,
Feed the dough into the press,
The emphasis is on the way that you dress,
You won’t succeed if you say you can’t,
If in doubt pretend you’re trés important.

Holy Father
03:31
|

Come along, come along, come along
Am I so different from, different from, different from,
Or just another con, other con, other con,
You might not be so wrong
My augmented mind, mented mind, mented mind
Manipulated by, lated by lated by
Lend me your ears and I, ears and I, ears and I
You might just wanna try
A path to alternate, alternate, alternate
A prayer to really pray, pray, pray
There is a better way, better way, better way
Pull up a pew and say
They say that dogs can’t get to heaven
So the wolf is waiting for you
Holy Father
Get away, get away, get away
Not here to entertain, entertain, entertain
Show me a dirty stain, dirty stain, dirty stain
What would the father say?
Such an unhealthy mind, healthy mind, healthy mind
Curing one at a time, at a time, at a time
You’d better testify
Sanctified!
A prayer to really pray, really pray, really pray
A truly holy buffet, lee buffet, lee buffet
A priestly dossier, dossier, dossier
Come take a leap of faith

One of Many
05:06
|
|||
Do you feel as you were born
For something else, for something more
Ask not what we can do for you
Don’t ask what anyone can do
One of many…. You’re one of many
Do you feel as you were born
Like you were made
Like you were built for war
I thought the honour would be mine
To fight, for you lay down my life
Pride came before I fell,
An empty cause, after all
One of many…. I’m one of many
Hand on heart,
Grateful to be
Grateful to be a part
