Creep When you were here before Couldn't look you in the eye
You're just like an angel Your skin makes me cry You float like a
feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so fucking
special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doing here?
I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts I want to have control
I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice
when I'm not around You're so fucking special I wish I was special
But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell I'm doing here? I don't
belong here She's running out the door She's running out She runs
runs runs Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so
fucking special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo
What the hell am I doing here? I don't belong here I don't belong

"High & Dry" Two jumps in a week I bet you think that's
pretty clever don't you boy? Flying on your motorcycle, Watching
all the ground beneath you drop You'd kill yourself for
recognition, Kill yourself to never ever stop You broke another
mirror, You're turning into something you are not Don't leave me
high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Drying up in conversation, You will be the one who cannot talk All
your insides fall to pieces, You just sit there wishing you could
still make love They're the ones who'll hate you When you think
you've got the world all sussed out They're the ones who'll spit at
you, You will be the one screaming out Don't leave me high, don't
leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry It's the best
thing that you ever had, The best thing that you ever, ever had
It's the best thing that you ever had, The best thing you ever had
has gone away Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave
me high, don't leave me dry Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry
Don't leave me high, don't leave me dry

"Fake Plastic Trees" Her green plastic watering can For her fake
Chinese rubber plant In the fake plastic earth That she bought from
a rubber man In a town full of rubber plans To get rid of itself It
wears her out, it wears her out It wears her out, it wears her out
She lives with a broken man A cracked polystyrene man Who just
crumbles and burns He used to do surgery For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins It wears him out, it wears him out It wears
him out, it wears him out She looks like the real thing She tastes
like the real thing My fake plastic love But I can't help the
feeling I could blow through the ceiling If I just turn and run It
wears me out, it wears me out It wears me out, it wears me out If I
could be who you wanted If I could be who you wanted all the time
All the time... All the time...

your favourite song As your bad day disappears No longer wound up

out Before you run away from me Before you're lost between the
notes Just as you take the mic Just as you dance, dance, dance

other as you pass She looks back, you look back Not just once Not
just twice Wish away the nightmare Wish away the nightmare You've
