Bush - Razorblade Suitcase (1996)
01. Personal Holloway
Tune my weaker eye
Spit white
Hold the world up all day
She's blue in the face again
And paracetamol
Sleep the darkness all away
Drinking kitchen paint
To dye the winter
I hope we'll never see again
Deaf and dumb with the lights on
Married by signs
Personal Holloway
Six month linen
It's safe to say we are alone
Suburban suicide
Watching night come amber
It's all so temporary
Deaf and dumb with the lights on
Married by signs
Move a little way forward
Move a little way now
Bleed life
Breathe life
Could be a better plan
02. Greedy Fly
Do you feel the way you hate?
Do you hate the way you feel?
Always closer to the flame
Ever closer to the blade
I am poison crazy lush
Built these hands to lift me up
We are servants of our formulaic ways
I'm screaming daisies
From fourteen miles away
I've got my own time
And got it all today
Make
Up your mind
I need some help
To find this mind, mind, mind
Limbo this and limbo that
You were this and you were that
Ever know that what you fear
Is what you find
This Indian summer
I signed my life away
There's a greedy fly in here
And I fly away
Make
Up your mind
I need some help
To find this mind, mind, mind
03. Swallowed
Warm sun, feed me up
And I'm leery, loaded up
Loathing, for a change
And I slip some, boil away
Swallowed, followed
Heavy 'bout everything but my love
Swallowed, sorrowed
I'm with everyone and yet not
Just wanted to be myself
Hey you said you would, love to try some
Hey you said you would love to die some
In the middle of a world on a fishhook
You're the wave
Swallowed, borrowed
Heavy 'bout everything but my love
Swallowed, hollowed
Sharp about everyone but yourself
Swallowed, oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
Piss on, self-esteem
Forward, busted knee
Sick head, blackened lungs
And I'm simple, selfish son
Swallowed, followed
Heavy 'bout everything but my love
Swallowed, oh no
I'm with everyone and yet not
Got to get away from here
Miss the one that I love a lot
I miss the one that I love a lot
04. Insect Kin
Iron lung
I know you well
Deal with you
Like a bad spell
See the trail
Moon burns
Red stripe
And Vicodin
You were the only one
You are the censor
You'll never people me
I'm not defenseless
In the afternoon
As the light dims
Build a life out of all
Of this Semtex
You're the brightest one
You were the center
The perfect opposite
Of what you asked for
It's not just one way
A negative factor
With all of these wasps out
I'd Better take cover
Copper tongue, beam me up
Lonely without my impediments
Start to save what we used to steal
Walking on gelatine
I never noticed you
You were the brightest one
You were wide of me
Just like the English sun
You caught the light again
In a perfect way
The biggest threat of all
Is in the alleyway
You're the demon seed
You're the factor
Feel better with a
Little bit of plaster
It's not just one away
A negative factor
With all of these wasps out
I better take cover
There's all the pain in the way she talks
There's all the pain in the way she walks
There's all the pain in her wave goodbye
All the pain in the way she smiles
There's all the pain in her fatal charm
All the pain in her arms
05. Cold Contagious
Wherever you are
You will carry always
Truth of the scars
And darkness of your faith
Slowly move on
How did we get to here
It all went wrong
Gravity claiming all your tears
Everything looks so much better now
Looks so much better now
You will get yours
You have no right to ask me now
You were never that around
And I have missed
Reality daytrips
And your suit me, suit me ways
Turn out the light switch
We've been awake for days
And no one's coming round here no more
No one's coming round here
You will get yours
You have no right to calm me down
You were never that around
I have missed
Cold contagious
All the mighty, mighty men
What you save is
What you lose out in the end
Cold contagious
Paint your perfect day
I don't mind this
I'm better off, by the way
Deeply grounded
You will get yours
Cold contagious
All the mighty, mighty men
What you save is
What you lose out in the end
Cold contagious
Cold
Contagious
06. A Tendency To Start Fires
Strange zoom, strange blaze
Douse my head in flames
Coming through, got to get some
Happiness is a bad son
Forceps, kitchen tools
Deconstruct your every move
Feels better when you're here
Guillotine just got here
Back bend, back break
Please yourself to make it rate
Live it all at your own cost
So many just got lost
Leaning for fire, leaning to fire, leaning to fire
Here's tomorrow man
Best of my ability
Chasing what I can
Here's tomorrow man
Instinct, bare boned
Light it up, take it home
You will be all things
You'll get what you bring
Leaning to fire, leaning to fire, leaning to fire
Here's tomorrow man
Best of my civility
Chasing what I can
Here's tomorrow man
Best of my ability
Chasing watercans
Here's tomorrow man
With our own tongue
Here's tomorrow man
Best of my ability
Chasing what I can
Here's tomorrow man
End of century
Chasing what I can
Here's tomorrow man
07. Mouth
You gave me this
Made me give
Your silver grin
Still sticking it in
You have soul machine
Soul machine
The longest kiss
Peeling furniture days
Drift madly to you
Pollute my heart-drain
You have broken me
Broken me
All your mental armor drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth
Your loaded smiles
And pretty just desserts
Wish it all for you
So much, it never hurts
You have soul machine
Stolen me
All your mental armor drags me down
We can't breathe when you come around
All your mental armor drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth
Your mouth, mouth, mouth
We've been missing long before
Never found our way home
We've been missing long before
Where we'll find our way
You gave me this
Made me give
You have soul machine
Broken free
All your mental armor drags me down
We can't breathe when you come around
All your mental armor drags me down
Nothing hurts like your mouth, mouth, mouth
Your mouth, mouth, mouth
All your mental armor
And your mouth, mouth, mouth, mouth
08. Straight No Chaser
Always be there
Face I live with
Always be there
Face I live with
Abscess memory
With broken fingers
All the fallen down angels
War paint distress
It's all in the way we know that we could have it all
Some satellites of pain can't always be ignored
War on all sides
Drink life as it comes
Straight, no chaser
Life as it comes
Straight, no chaser
Climb inside you
Away from strangers
We're building a system
Of alleys and motorways
It's all in the way we know that we could have it all
Some satellites of pain can't always be ignored
It's all in the face of what we thought we knew before
War on all sides
Keep on driving
Hair left morning wet
There's nothing like losing you
09. History
Gave my love to two thousand yesterdays
Nothing is wrong, I am always a little late
Probably will, probably won't
Get this disease cut out my throat
All of a sudden, you come my way
Baby believer
I won't be saved
By morning after
Struggling my name
Slave turned to master
History moans
Mouth of our father
Edge of my bed, benzedrine telephone
Struggling to speak, I am sicker than sickest dog
Falling faster than a liar's grin
We need to be saved from the shit we're in
I believe in you, I have found
The perfect way to bring me down
I won't be saved
By all your yesterdays
Piss on my grave
Piss on the underlay
History moans
Mouth of our father
(It's the movement we're after)
10. Synapse
I don't mind this
Barefoot again
Just a skin full
What we choose to forget
Thinking you know
Thinking you see all sides
Casting a stone from your hand
Yeah right
Hell is where the heart is
Synapse again
Nothing more I can do
I haven't done again
Only wanted nothing wrong
Taking a cue from seven days
I bet you never listen
Burning holes in all your clothes
Razorblade suitcase
All the tricks of the trade
Favourite ways you can lose
Favourite ways you can hate
Hell is where the heart is
Synapse again
Nothing more I can do
I haven't done again
Only wanted nothing wrong
Taking a cue for better days
I bet you never glisten
Burning holes in all your clothes
Hell is where the heart is
Synapse again
Nothing more I can do
I haven't done again
Hell is where the heart is
Where the heart is
11. Communicator
Somewhere, sometime
All things will be fine
And it never seems to stop
Wonder if I've met my wife
Somewhere, sometime
All things will be fine
And it never seems enough
Wonder if I've met my wife
Splinter left, focus right
Focus right
This mortal soil around me
Mortal feeling I have found
Surrounded by your glory
Hold me now so that I never drown
And it never seems to stop
Somewhere, sometime
Wonder if I've met my wife
Splinter left, focus right
Focus right
12. Bonedriven
We're just a wish away
27th letter
Much maligned
Beat me clever
Say you will
Nevermind
Open up
Open wide
Bonedriven
See we're taking all the life
To all pollutants
Shave your face
We're all confusion
We're all the rage
Isolate
Crowded out
All that's left
Inside out
Heaven knows who walks away
Bonedriven
See we're taking all the life
I was wrong and I will wait
A thousand lamps
Won't lift the dark
Rest of our lives
Might have already passed
Bonedriven
See we're taking all the life
13. Distant Voices
I never thought I'd get away
All there is fading fast today
Maybe you sleep well in your head
Bring on the night, let the cold moon burn instead
Cause I'm gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself
Swallowing habits die real hard
And the coat she wore could not conceal the scars
Beneath the magic of her lace
Are a thousand lonely faces she can't place
Cause I'm gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself, I can shine on
I'm gonna find my way to the sun
When I destroy myself, I can shine on
Shine, shine, shine
Sooner or later, masturbate or lose
Stationary west way, running from you
And true to self destructive veins
We have found a way to keep the gifts that maims
Cause I'm gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself, I can move on
I'm gonna find my way (find my way) to the sun
If I destroy myself, I can shine on
Shine
I'm gonna find my way to the sun
If I destroy myself, I can shine on
Shine, shine, shine, shine
