'TECHNO FAN' LYRICS:
East London's not a bombsite
It is a treasure chest
We use our penguin costumes
More than our evening dress
She said I should come over
Though the music's not my type
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Just to have a good time.
Shut up and move with me, move with me
Or get out of my face
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me
Or let go of my hand
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno fan
This is not a weird weekend
It's an angry wormhole
I'm talking like a city boy
And drinking with a Northern soul
She said I should come over
Though there's carnage at times
It still seems I'd chop a limb off
Before I put up a fight
Shut up and move with me, move with me
Or get out of my face
I didn't queue for an hour to leave straight away
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me
Or let go of my hand
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans,
I never knew I was a techno…
We are the 1980's
We are the Detroit lights
And I never want to see this stop
I'm in debt to you
But don't feed me plant food
Just shut up and move with me, move with me
Or get out of my face
I didn't spend 20 sheets to not cut a shape
Shut up and stay with me, stay with me
Or let go of my hand
The lasers fill our minds with empty plans
I never knew I was a techno fan
I never knew I was a techno fan...
East London's not a bombsite

'ANTI-D' LYRICS:
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant
We kick back and let the pills do the talking
People hear a distinct rattle when we're walking
Then there's the extra two stone that's our only guarantee
Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies
That get entangled well within our daily routines
So please re-think or use my trademark strategy
And please allow me to be your anti-depressant
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
It's hard to smile when you're as flattened as a pancake
The only tears come from our heads when we concentrate
Perhaps I'm being unjust or perhaps you agree
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
I needed more than what was in those 40 milligrams
So cast away with the doctor's plans
And please allow me to be your anti-depressant
I too am prescribed as freely as any decongestant
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Ah ah ah ah
Still I've thrown away my citalopram
Although I felt as grim as the reaper man
So cast away with the doctor's plans
Like me
Please allow me to be your anti-depressant

Our vivid dreams are just like big production movies

'IS THIS CHRISTMAS?' LYRICS:
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
not a creature was stirring except for.. a Wombat?!
Can you hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
Here comes our darkest end Christmas is here
It’s about not extending to the overdraft
To scrape out what is left at the end of the year
It's Christmas!
Turn 'Back To The Future' off I’ve seen it before
Maybe every year and more it’s great but not again
'Oh what’s that burning? What’s that burning?' my mum shrieks down
As she’s touching up her brow for when the family arrive
And the red wine plummets down and we should all be in our beds
But it’s right wing versus left until the wings fall off our heads
And is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas, my dear?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
Whatever happened to our festive cheer?
I can hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
Here comes the darkest end Christmas is here
And the ice burns up the hill until we all lose our feet
Though it never really snows it’s more like horizontal sleet
And is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas, my dear?
Is this Christmas? (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Is this Christmas? (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Whatever happened (Oh no it’s Christmas) to that festive cheer?
Don’t you just love Christmas (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Everybody loves Christmas (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Everybody loves, everybody loves
Everyone it’s Christmas!
'Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house
not a creature was stirring except for.. a Wombat?!
Can you hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
Here comes our darkest end Christmas is here
It’s about not extending to the overdraft
To scrape out what is left at the end of the year
It's Christmas!
Turn 'Back To The Future' off I’ve seen it before
Maybe every year and more it’s great but not again
'Oh what’s that burning? What’s that burning?' my mum shrieks down

And the red wine plummets down and we should all be in our beds
But it’s right wing versus left until the wings fall off our heads
And is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas, my dear?
Is this Christmas?
Is this Christmas?
Whatever happened to our festive cheer?
I can hear the sleigh bells coming around the bend
Here comes the darkest end Christmas is here
And the ice burns up the hill until we all lose our feet
Though it never really snows it’s more like horizontal sleet

Is this Christmas? (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Is this Christmas? (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Whatever happened (Oh no it’s Christmas) to that festive cheer?
Don’t you just love Christmas (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Everybody loves Christmas (Oh no it’s Christmas)
Everybody loves, everybody loves
Everyone it’s Christmas!

'1996' LYRICS:
I had no cares in the 1990’s
I knew of no downfalls
Though war was breaking out all around me
My concerns were with prank calls
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
Right in front of the older kids
When our self belief, when our self belief
Wasn’t scared by the modern itch
Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our T.V set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There’s little here to miss…
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
Bring back 1996
We were cloning sheep in the 1990’s
We were building telescopes
And sugar filled the whole of my body
As I urged it on to grow
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek
Just to impress the older kids
When my self belief, when my self belief
Wasn’t lost in the modern glitch
Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There’s little here to miss…
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
Stop talking, stop talking
I need a lover not a friend tonight
I’m leaving, I’m leaving
I’m not cut out for the modern life
I’ll never beat those teenage kicks
I’ll never beat those teenage kicks
I had no cares in the 1990’s
I knew of no downfalls
Though war was breaking out all around me
My concerns were with prank calls
She kissed me on the cheek, she kissed me on the cheek
Right in front of the older kids
When our self belief, when our self belief
Wasn’t scared by the modern itch
Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our T.V set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There’s little here to miss…
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
So hard to beat those teenage kicks
Bring back 1996
We were cloning sheep in the 1990’s
We were building telescopes
And sugar filled the whole of my body
As I urged it on to grow
I kissed her on the cheek, I kissed her on the cheek

When my self belief, when my self belief

Cos now it feels like...
We kiss with one eye on our TV set
And the more I give the less I get
Needing fairground rides just to spark a smile
There’s little here to miss…
Bring back 1996
Bring back 1996
Stop talking, stop talking
I need a lover not a friend tonight
I’m leaving, I’m leaving
I’m not cut out for the modern life
I’ll never beat those teenage kicks
I’ll never beat those teenage kicks

'TOKYO (VAMPIRES & WOLVES)' LYRICS:
We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally! I know now what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animated every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I’m sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics!
You'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort
In what my mind can't comprehend
Finally! I work out what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animated every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I’m sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go and follow someone else's lead
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animated every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I’m sick of dancing with the beast
We're self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes
Finally! I know now what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animated every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I’m sick of dancing with the beast
Astrophysics!
You'll never be my closest friend
I find no comfort
In what my mind can't comprehend
Finally! I work out what it takes
It takes money and aeroplanes
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animated every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
(ah ah ah ah)
I’m sick of dancing with the beast
No matter how much it needs me
Go and follow someone else's lead
If you love me let me go
Back to that bar in Tokyo
Where the demons from my past leave me in peace
(ah ah ah ah)
I'll be animated every night
The grass'll be greener on the other side
And the vampires and wolves won't sink their teeth
