My Iron Lung Lyrics

Faith, you’re driving me away
You do it everyday
You don’t mean it
But it hurts like hell
My brain says I’m receiving pain
A lack of oxygen
From my life support
My iron lung
We’re too young to fall asleep
Too cynical to speak
We are losing it
Can’t you tell?
We scratch our eternal itch
A twentieth century bitch
And we are grateful for
Our iron lung
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
Suck, suck your teenage thumb
Toilet trained and dumb
When the power runs out
We’ll just hum
This, this is our new song
Just like the last one
A total waste of time
My iron lung
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon
And if you’re frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it’s OK
And if you’re frightened
You can be frightened
You can be, it’s OK
The head shrinkers
They want everything
My uncle Bill
My Belisha beacon

Cant get the stink off,
Hes been hanging around for days.
Comes like a comet,
Suckered you but not your friends.
One day hell get to you,
Teach you how to be a holy cow.
Dont get my sympathy hanging out the 15th floor.
Youve changed the locks 3 times,
He still comes reeling through the door.
And soon hell get to you,
Teach you how to get to purest hell.
You do it to yourself you do
And thats what really hurts is
You do it to yourself just you,
You and no-one else
You do it to yourself.

They love me like I was a brother
They protect me, listen to me
They dug me my very own garden
Gave me sunshine, made me happy
Nice dream, nice dream, nice dream
I call up my friend, the good angel
But she’s out with her ansaphone
She says she would love to come help but
The sea would electrocute us all
Nice dream [x7]
If you think that you’re strong enough
If you think you belong enough
If you think that you’re strong enough
If you think you belong enough
Nice dream [x4]
Fake Plastic Trees Lyrics

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.
She lives with a broken man
A crackpot of stouring youth
Who just crumbles and burns.
He used to do surgery
For girls in the eighties
But gravity always wins.
And 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.
And it wears me out, it wears me out.
It wears me out, it wears me out.
And if I could be who you wanted
If I could be who you wanted
All the time, all the time.
Oh, oh.
