Blame it on Oil

Blame it on oil
Every time I need a new excuse
Been waiting a while
For something not attributed to you
When I need my fill
Yeah, I’ll get out my drill and tighten my grip
When you push too hard
Yeah, I’ll grease up my arms and give you the slip
Blame it on oil
The fact that we’re all fooled so easily
So dig up your soil
And find the best defence against their greed
When I need my fill
Yeah, I’ll get out my drill and tighten my grip
When you push too hard
Yeah, I’ll grease up my arms and give you the slip
Yeah, they’ll tighten their grip
They’ll give you the slip
Yeah, they’ll tighten their grip
They’ll tighten their grip

More of the Same

Caught out again
What can I do when you don’t believe in me?
More of the same
All I is ask for is time, I’m still the one to rely on
Where there’s a will there’s a way
I just can’t find it today
I’ll tell you if he comes around
But chances are that he’ll want out
There’s nothing I wouldn’t do
If you’ve come to admire, don’t get caught in the crossfire
I’ve been overused
You’re calling my name, it’s just more of the same
And if the bit betwen my front teeth
is preventing me from sleeping
How can I be fresh for the fight
If he wants out tonight?
What’s another day when I’m so stable?
What’s the use in asking if you’re so able?
Fault me or harm me, you’ll never disarm me
I’m loaded up
I’m ready to shoot, but need a moment to choose
And the bit between my front teeth
will be removed sometime next week
No, nothing can stop me now
More of the same is going down
More of the same is going down

Business is Good

Outside it’s getting dark
And here’s us still at work
Winding down? Not a chance. Never could
Outside a nation expects
And here’s us staring at an empty desk
Love to buy. Set it up. Never use it
We’d like to thank you all for choosing us tonight
Yes it’s true that the customer’s always right
Inside, we’re the only ones left
We’re talking ‘bout what we should do next
Box ‘em up, ship ‘em out’s what I say
We’ll put one aside for you anyway
Need a fix? Got the cash? We’ll be it
Need a rise? Got some space? We’re your guys

You drag me out my bed each cold, wet day
You brighten up every morning when you play
I see your LED flashing
Is that you winking at me?
I guess that I’ll just wait and see
You catch me when I fall or start to slide
You’re the reason I’m living this here life
With all those limitless functions
Can we give them enough rope?
And now that we’ve stopped and hit ‘off’’, you’re the joke
With a chip on your shoulder
Like some special trait
And now that we’re bored, we’ll hit ‘off’’, I can’t wait
The things you do make me laugh out loud
See me smile when I shut you down

'Operation Failed'
03:28
|
|||
|
I care, I have a duty to repair
I know, my baby said so, so prepare
Gonna formalise
Gonna plan for risks we take
Gonna give this thing a name, "Operation Failed"
We've been, short of cash for short-lived dreams
We trust, because you trust in us it seems
Gonna close our eyes
Gonna hit them where it hurts
Will I live to hear the term "Operation Failed"?
Gonna mobilise
I'm still waiting for the day
The day the people say "Operation Failed"

In Every Way But One
03:44

Your eyes they're bright but looking left
Your smile is warm but not your best
Your kiss it leaves me wanting more, or less
Your touch is soft but somewhere else
Your laugh is there but who can tell?
You hold me or am I holding you?
If I wait any more you might leave me for someone who needs you more
Or less. So long?
Your words they move but move to much
Your time is precious, it costs a lot
Your heart it beats but, then, it beats alone
And I know, I can see, that you're every bit as desperate as me
Or less. So long?
If I wait any more you might leave me for someone who needs you more
Or less. So long?
And I know, I can see, that your every bit as desperate as me
Or less. So long?
For the best. So long?
Just say 'yes'

Start It Again
04:57
|

|
And sometimes you give and sometimes you're given
though it don't seem that way at all
And sometimes you love and sometimes you are loved
but it ain't 50:50 anymore
And sometimes you're kind, but all others are kinder
or so it appeared, until now
And sometimes you care, but all others are caring
not that you care anyhow
Does the girl pay back the compliments?
Does society treat you how you would like?
And what can you do, went it all falls through?
But start it again
And sometimes you hurt and sometimes you get hurt
Good and firm, clean and sharp
And sometimes you love and sometimes you are loved
And who's really bothered, another broken heart?
These bands, they say you should fight back
Every song you hear, 'no need to fear'
'Push yourself' and all that
But I'm not 'eternal', I can't 'reach the mountain top'
Can't 'touch the sky', can't (')reach that high(')
Start again…

Girl

Girl – turning away from your friends
Searching for love in a dead end
You know that they won’t guide you
Girl
And all she wants is romance
But all she gets is ‘no thanks’ – girl, yeah that girl
And all she needs is to feel
But all the boys don’t appeal – girl, get real girl
Girl – they’re praying that it’s just a phase
If you’re playing for time it’s the wrong game
You know that they’ll outscore you
Girl
And all she wants is to hold
But what she gets leaves her cold – girl, I know girl
And all she wants is a smile
But all she gets is ‘goodbye’ – girl, so bye girl
Girl why can’t you see?
It seems so unnatural to me
It seems that we’re not meant to be
I hope that you find that someone
I hope that she makes you a woman

Maslow's Dog
03:03

I made my choice
Whenever that was
I choose to forget
We pitched our dream
Then bought one in
We worked hard for it
So much to have in one short life
I’d buy the earth if I had the time
Been working late
We still might make it
Can’t ever give up
Some get what they need
Others supercede
I’m Maslow’s Dog
So much to have, to hold, to bring
I’d buy the stars if I could carry them
Back home to you
I’ll be home soon
So much to have, to hold, to bring
I’d buy the stars if I could carry them
Back home to you
I’ll be home soon
I’m Maslow’s Dog

I’d write it down if
the spirits allowed it
If it weren’t so cold I’d
let you come on right inside
That letter that you sent
keeps coming back again
The secret drawer’s just
intriguing me more. I must
find the key that fits
or take some gasoline and burn the bitch
My dog, she bares teeth
The anger frightens me
But, you’ll be sorry
Too late, anyhow
When you open yourself up, I’ll close you forever
Forever
My paper weights are
locked away, we’re safe from harm
And my letter openers
can no longer threaten us
Those feelings that you fought
Can’t hurt you anymore

Product Of
03:36

The wrong brand of pen that I pick up
The right words the wrong way, I figure out
And how come the book’s always better
when it’s the song that everybody knows?
What’s a writer to do?
They’re running out of ideas, it’s true
Now, when they write, they’re not writing just for you
No matter what they try to hide
They’re still taking bribes
The phone rings, executive’s pushy
No surprise, it’s the one that they gave to me
I dedicate this song to their boardroom
They lead the way in creating something new
What’s a writer to do?
I’m running out of ideas too
Now, when I sing, I’m not singing just to you
And just so long as people shop
I’ll shift the product
Toe the line and find yourself hooked
Like some kind of drug
That you need to sell on
No matter what they try to hide
They’re still taking bribes
And just so long as people shop
I’ll shift the product

I say that, “nothing in life’s for free”
You say, “that’s the power of TV”
And all of the time we spent indoors
we should have spent talking
Once upon a time we felt like lovers
or at least we were trying. I want to believe
The visions I built, were solid until you broke free
I say, “just be what you want to be”
You say, “that’s the power of TV”
And for all of the times we watched the news
we could have been learning
Did not have the skills to pick and choose
Did not have a tape in our machine
So, who’s in control, mind, body and soul - so remote
The truth is plain to see
Always switching from red to green to blue
Seems I’ve gone and lost you for good

I can’t recall quite what was said. She’ll know
Still fight the feelings in my head. You’re so
Trying to play it cool
Trying not to rush
Trying far too much
The image that we built lies crushed
I lost my patience just like you lost yours. You did
My train of thought can’t carry anymore. You said
You’d only speak the truth
‘Bout what’s been eating you
‘Bout time we called it quits
And found some other use for it

Feeling on top, solid as rock
Nothing to cry about. Then
one fateful day, I heard you say
‘yes’, just that once too often
Now, at a loss, all because
you just force the issue
Happy enough (?)...I’m in love
but, it’s getting me nowhere
Riding cloud nine, all of the time
Look at the drop I’m facing
Now, I could choke. You may joke
Once, I’d laugh along with you
I’m confused, lightly bruised
I’m so sick of feeling wasted
The ceiling is hit, I’ve a crick in my neck
Top of the heap, but slipping down
Yeah, I’ve vertigo. It’s time to say no
but, ‘yes’, is all I am hearing
Now, I just wait, hope and pray
that a darker day will come
or at least, a release
from the brightest burning sun
If I’m the top dog, it’s time for my walk
right off the edge of something
clean, too serene. Unforseen
I gave in to empty eyes
Sterilised, no surprise
I am treading mineral water
Falling down, falling down
