The Smile - Bending Hectic Lyrics

The Smile - Bending Hectic Lyrics  I'm changing down the gears I'm slamming on the brakes A vintage soft top from the sixties We're coming to a bend now Skidding around the hairpin A sheer drop down The Italian mountainside And time is kind of frozen As you gaze at the view And I swear I'm seeing double No one's gonna bring me down, no No way and no how I'm letting go of the wheel It might be as good as it sounds It might be as good as it sounds I've got these slings I've got these arrows I'll force myself to I've got these slings I've got these arrows I'll force myself to Turn, turn The ground is coming for me now We've gone over the edge If you've got something to say Say it now No one's gonna bring me down, no No way and no how I'm letting go of the wheel Despite these slings Despite these arrows I'll force myself to Despite these slings Despite these arrows I'll force myself to Turn, turn Turn Turn Turn Turn

The Smile - Teleharmonic Lyrics

The Smile - Teleharmonic Lyrics  Will I make the morning? I don't know Tied up in half truths Wanting payback, payback Whining drones on a cold sea Ramming down doors, piling in Caught in dragnets by fishermen Wanting payback, payback Where are you taking me? Where are you taking me? Somewhere you'll be there, so long Somewhere you'll be there, so long You'll be there soon, so long You'll be there soon In all that fire and ice In all that fire In all that ice Bury me in the way out In the past Oh Lord, how should I forget? Hung up, pinned up by hammer and nails Somewhere you'll be there, so long Somewhere you'll be there, so long You'll be there soon In all that fire In all that ice… Where are you taking me? Where are you taking me?

The Smile - Wall Of Eyes Lyrics

The Smile - Wall Of Eyes Lyrics  Down a peg or two we all go Behind a wall of eyes Of your own device Is that still you? With hollow eyes Changed to black and white Strap yourself in I try, but it doesn't go away I try, but it doesn't go away I try, but it doesn't go away Let us raise our glasses To what we don't deserve Or what we are not worthy of So rich and white To the grains of sand Slipping through our hands I try, but it don't go away (One, two, three, four, five) I try, but it don't go away (One, two, three, four, five) I try, but it don't go away (One, two, three, four, five) Is that still you? (One, two, three, four, five) Through hollow eyes (One, two, three, four, five) Changed to black and white (One, two, three, four, five) So strap yourself in (One, two, three, four, five)

The Smile - I Quit Lyrics

The Smile - I Quit Lyrics  I quit My head is lit A piece of me This is my stop This is the end of the trip Conscience And brotherhood And brotherhood Wild ghosts Wild feelings Leaning windmills A dead drop This is the end of the trip A new path Out of madness Wherever it goes Wherever it goes And wherever it goes And wherever it goes And wherever it lies And wherever it lies Wherever it goes And wherever it goes And wherever it goes

The Smile - Friend Of A Friend Lyrics

The Smile - Friend Of A Friend Lyrics  I can go wherever I want I just gotta turn myself inside out and back to front With cut out shapes and worn out spaces Add some sparkles to create the right effect They're all smiling, so I guess I'll stay At least 'til the disappointed have eaten themselves away Buried from the waist down Stop looking over our shoulders All the window balconies, they seem so flimsy as our Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun I guess I believe in an altered state Where they leave their windows and their doors open wide The telephone lines are always busy Unable to give a reason or a straight answer Buried from the waist down Stop looking over our shoulders We need to get this together From our window balconies we take a tumble as our Friends step out to talk and wave and catch a piece of sun All that money Where did it go? Where did it go? In somebody's pocket A friend of a friend All the loose change Loose change

The Smile - Under Our Pillows Lyrics

The Smile - Under Our Pillows Lyrics  Such delights wait under your pillows Soft sung hymns from under your pillows A slate wiped clean A white loss of feeling If you are ready and willing Part of the sting Part of the giving As the light bulbs are humming You just allow it all to sink in, and give yourself, give yourself, freely Nowadays everyone's for sharing Nowadays everyone's for sharing Don't let them take me! Try to convert me With a voice I can only see through that doesn't have a heart beat Nowadays everyone's for sharing Nowadays everyone's for sharing ...that doesn't have a heart beat Episodes wiped clean wiped clean wiped clean Episodes wiped clean wiped clean wiped clean This is major league make believe make believe This is major league make believe make believe make believe

The Smile - Read The Room Lyrics

The Smile - Read The Room Lyrics  And when the time is right And when the end comes Maybe you can't, maybe you can't be Arsed for half a million That's your opinion That's how your story goes A magic rain, a magic rainbow So big, it bends the light You know it takes away It takes the fun out Maybe I can't, maybe I can't be arsed This crashing currency These kinds of phone calls These candy aerosols These massive E, these massive egos So big, they bend the light… Who knows what it wants from me? This goes where it wants to be Honey for the honeybee I'm gonna count to three Keep this shit away from me Honestly? Maybe you should read the room? What on earth? Come on honey, read the room Who knows what it wants from me? This goes where it wants to be Honey for the honeybee I'm gonna count to three Keep this shit away from me "Come on out, come on out We know you're in there!" And you kind of think so

The Smile - You Know Me! Lyrics

The Smile - You Know Me! Lyrics  With your X-ray specs you can see inside of me, or not I'm a boxer on the ropes. You are standing in my light You've wound yourself around me like you know me I am smelling user, something bright and clean and shiny And when my back is turned the point of a blade, a blade Always "You know me" Always "You know me" "You know me" "Keep your arms up, son!" Don't scare me Bone china teas, china tea Old galaxies, galaxies And a town that's under water None of this is mine And a town that's under water None of this is mine, is mine Always "You know me" Always "You know me" "You know me" Don't you think you know me? Don't think that I am everything you say

The Smile - Instant Psalm Lyrics

The Smile - Instant Psalm Lyrics  We are overflowing in a hurricane We are overflowing in a hurricane We can't feel pain It's so close that we disappear Through this narrow gap The narrow gap that you leave us in We can slide through this narrow gap The narrow gap that you leave us in And we feel you near But so close that you disappear While holding on to the sides Like a wind blows its emptiness Yes, it's not a real yes. Not really yes Emptiness has many forms The only thing to listen to is It has many forms And loneliness is a way to drown While holding on to the sides While the wind blows emptiness Yes, it's not a real yes. Not really yes

The Smile - Foreign Spies Lyrics

The Smile - Foreign Spies Lyrics  In a beautiful world We are melting And go running Nailed down Somewhere lurking Form a line Falling over Zip tied Foreign Spies Foreign Spies In a beautiful world Paved with gold But who's counting Way up there? And they're grabbing Kitchen knives Every time we Backs are turned Foreign Spies Foreign Spies Foreign Spies Foreign Spies Foreign Spies It's a beautiful world

The Smile - Zero Sum Lyrics

The Smile - Zero Sum Lyrics  Zero sum, low point A cut-out trying to fill the void A shit grind, a performance A tipping point, loose banister The physical lines of forced thought That's a lot to burn for no reason A gas leak, I'm falling through the ice A vacant lot to buy, vacant lot to buy A clipped tongue, acting dumb Somewhere in the past in a re-run Thinking all the ways the system will provide Windows 95, Windows 95 So overconfident, confident, confident They're so overconfident, confident, confident That's another red flag, red flag That's another red flag, red flag The masterclass, the TED Talk That's a lot to burn for no reason They're thinking all the ways the system will provide Windows 95, Windows 95 Listen close, listen carefully You will hear that the birds are in the wrong place Fortunately there the system will provide Windows 95, Windows 95 They're so overconfident, confident, confident They're so overconfident, confident, confident...

The Smile - Colors Fly Lyrics

The Smile - Colors Fly Lyrics  You can change your mind Let your colours fly And start lashing out You can change your mind I won't be surprised Let them fly colors Circumstances change Let them fly colors You can change your mind Mother starts to cry And because we can't escape You're gonna say goodnight You're gonna say goodnight Goodnight

The Smile - Eyes & Mouth Lyrics

The Smile - Eyes & Mouth Lyrics  Through the glass Look at you Just eyes and mouth Just saying words And then turning them around No matter what the situation Telling yourself this is nowhere You appear and then you disappear Letting it slide, letting it slide Soon to complete the transformation And beginning all this all over again Always changing the definition Yeah, always passing through No one to worry about And nowhere to be Just a shadow of light in my dark I knew so well before Soon to complete your transformation Then beginning all this all over Through the glass Look at you Just eyes and mouth Tapping on any window

The Smile - Don't Get Me Started Lyrics

The Smile - Don't Get Me Started Lyrics  I'm not the killer Don't get me started I'm not the villain Choose someone else You don't get to Nothing is triggered Nothing is solid Oh, don't pull me backwards You don't get to And your power means nothing And your power means nothing And your power means nothing And your power means nothing You don't get to Don't get me started You don't come to me You don't come to me You don't come to me You don't come to me You don't come to me Don't come to me And your power means nothing And your power means nothing And your power means nothing And you don't come to me

The Smile - Tiptoe Lyrics

The Smile - Tiptoe Lyrics  We are just baggage with no label You will find us in the rubble While you people tiptoe, tiptoe Far away from the windows All of you appeasers and enablers Eating scraps from the swill As quietly as insects A toxic repetition You are just being clever Pulling out all the feathers Burning all the labels Knowing we couldn't see

The Smile - The Slip Lyrics

The Smile - The Slip Lyrics  A black hole at the center of a galaxy Being pulled, being pulled, being pulled down Nice and easy As a night, as a nil, as a no One more step until finally you just freeze You're gonna give us the slip tonight Out through the keyhole Open like you're the hole in the ozone You're gonna give us the slip tonight Plaster partitions Blackbird says nothing You're gonna laugh You're gonna sing And you're gonna bring the world down round your ears While the temperature grows ugly While you threaten to press the button Let's pretend, let's pretend, let's pretend One more step until finally you just freeze Staring into infinity As if, as if you cannot see You're gonna give us the slip tonight Out through the keyhole 'Cause you want shit for free I don't know it was just, just a question We are so in trouble Somehow it's, it's not like you imagined We are so in trouble One more step until finally you just freeze

The Smile - No Words Lyrics

The Smile - No Words Lyrics  You're not so tough Your need to be loved You roasted in the desert A scorched earth Your mind is loose The monster's back Towards a mirage No words You're not so tough A whip, no crack A sudden switch The constant threat That you'll torch the place Those plants are snakes With clip on face No words You join the dots and you color in A road that's paved with good intentions Good intentions Yeah, good intentions You're not so tough And the jaw is like force Clings to joyless bones Devoured by ants The slim pickings From click monkeys By their ropes, we hang No words You join the dots and you color in A road that's paved with good intentions No words can ex- No words can ex- No words can express it No words can ex- No words can ex- No words can express it And now you wanna bleed me dry Now you wanna bleed me dry No words

The Smile - Bodies Laughing Lyrics

The Smile - Bodies Laughing Lyrics  Swaying side to side Jaws are open wide Hidden under my line Just to wind you up Just to piss you off Floating on their backs You're falling on your ass Falling through the glass Everybody's laughing Bodies laughing They snort and then they hoot They're lapping up the soup Slipping in the mud You're falling on your ass You're falling through the glass And everybody's laughing Bodies laughing 'Cause we can't control it We can't control it, we can't control it anymore We can't control it, we can't control it We can't control it anymore Control it anymore Dogs a-barking Cymbals crashing Tongues with lashing Slow convulsions And everybody's laughing Bodies laughing 'Cause we can't control it, we can't control it We can't control it anymore We can't control it, we can't control it We can't control it anymore Control it anymore You're falling on your ass You're fall...
