Something isn't right

(vocals by dave okumu, dani siciliano and neil thomas)

I don't buy the thing you said
You hit the nail and not the head
Tried to chain me to the floor
Took the handle from the door

Won't you look me in the eye?
Start by admitting now
Something isn't right
Something isn't right
Look me in the eye
Tell me something isn't right in here
No that something isn't right
Not right

I won't pander to it all
Join an army not a school
Fit the handle to the door
Something isn't right
Look me in the eye
Tell me something isn't right in here
No that something isn't right

Cover up, when expose you ought to
Wise up to the things they taught you
Cover up, it's an allied slaughter
Pucker up, it's a friendly torture

I won't follow you in to the night
I won't use your torch for a light
Chop down trees just to set them alight
I won't follow your scent in the night

There must be something wrong
I don't feel love
There must be something wrong in here
I don't feel love
There must be something wrong
I don't feel love
Because I ain’t felt like this
Felt like this before

There must be something wrong
I don't feel love
Something isn't right
There must be something wrong
Something isn't right
I don't feel love
Because I ain't felt like this
Felt like this before

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?
What d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?
Do you remember?
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?
Do you remember?
What d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?

Something isn't right
There must be something wrong
Because I ain't felt like this
Felt like this before

D-d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?
What d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?
Do you remember?
D-d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?
Do you remember?
What d-d-d-d-d-d-do you think?

Do you deny all the goodness in everything?
Can you describe all the wonder in me?
And if the details are too much to comprehend
An e-mail's there on your laptop to see

I'm all over this world
I'm all over this
I'm all over this world
I'm all over this
Come on to me
And try and take me down
I'm all over this, I'm all over this
I'm all over this, I'm all over this
I'm all over this, I'm all over this
I'm all over this, I'm all over this
I'm all over this

i just don't know how to bring about
your downfall, damn fool go figure out
how those christian bones can orchestrate
shock and awe

can't find peace to rave about
shade from trees to sit and celebrate
space between these graves to cultivate
anymore

no time to grieve or think about
plans to search for grace, investigate
how this holy mess could generate love at war

listen follow
follow closely
it's closely sinking
cos the war is moving
getting closer to you

you feel it breathing
that stinking feeling
it's what i'm thinking for

don't want to fight for a feeling
we need a spud and not a peeling
don't need another undertaker
be a mover and a shaker

i can't hide much

listen follow
follow closely
it's closely sinking
cos the war is moving
it's getting closer to you
you feel it breathing
that stinking feeling
it's what i'm thinking for

it's what i'm thinking
it's why i'm thinking
it's what i'm thinking
(it's why i'm thinking)

i just can't hide much

don't want to fight for a feeling
we need a better kinder dreaming
don't need another fool, a faker
be a mover and a shaker

no matter where you aim or what's your game we're all the same you just can't miss
no matter what you earn you'll feel the burn the screw will turn a notch like this
no amount of hesitation, no amount of preparation gets you off
if you hate the destination..enjoy the journey cos you can't get off

all out of time
no chance of maybe
blood on the line
here comes the one

don't look
don't think
don't flinch
it's heading right here

no matter right or left it's all straight on it's all to come on a night like this
no matter what you heard you've never heard a human make a sound like this

all out of time
no chance of maybe
blood on the line
here comes the one

don't look
don't think
don't flinch
it's heading right here

don't stop move it along on now
don't stop move it along on

no amount of careful thought or gentle sport can keep the door ajar a bit
no amount of incantation...no grateful nation took the sting of it
no soft inside big slide outside little red hammer stewardess to get you out
no amount of presentation....no artist ever painted darkness out

no one in here needs a ticket
choose your carriage get right in it

Up and down…

Here in my mind
There's no disguising you
I start to begin
Beside of you

I'm calling
I'm calling

You get serious
When you talk about
Things you know you know about
A loyal friend with a grip
On a world that can slip from under you

We disappear, reappear and you still make
Sense to me, that recipe
Write things down, how they sound and the ground
Can open up, and comfort us

My old friend
What a friend of mine
Tying knots on a string of time
Haul me up when the time has come
Skipping rope, when we're having fun

Up and
Up and down
Up and
Up and down
Up and
Up and down
Up and
Up and down

Sing when you talk
I'll listen
Sing when you think
I'm near
Can't be a song without you
Harmonise, sing your memory here

Up and down
Up and down
Up and down
Up and down

You get emotional
When you talk about Lucy, Jo or family
A loyal love is a gift in a world that can shift
From under you

We're not around, then around and the games
Will get more fun as we like to win
And win we do, with your love, with the crew
Adoring your move, to three from just two

My old friend
What a friend of mine
Tying knots on a string of time
Haul me up when the time has come
Skipping rope, when we're having fun

Up and
Up and down
Up and
Up and down
Up and
Up and down
Up and
Up and down

Sing when you talk
I'll listen
Sing when you think
I'm near
Can't be a song without you
Harmonise, sing your memory here

(This refrain)
Sing when you talk
(We are calling)
I'll listen
(This refrain)
Sing when you think
I'm near
(We are calling)
Can't be a song without you
(This refrain)
Harmonise, sing your memory here
(We are calling this refrain)

We are calling this refrain

Always have a day in a month to be yours now
This refrain
Always have a month in a year to be yours now
This refrain
Always have a ground for an ear to be yours now
This refrain
Always have ways to your house in my head now

You are the world
I am your people
You are the world
I am your people
You are the world
I am your people
You are the world
I am your people

(This refrain)
You are the world
(We are calling this refrain)
I am your people
(This refrain)
You are the world
(We are calling this refrain)
I am your people
(We are calling this refrain)

Sing when you talk
I'll listen

Can't be a song without you
Harmonise

we could be birds of a feather
although you know that your song would never be heard
how so tell me
we could be birds of a feather
how so tell me so
but you know that your song would never be heard round here

be that way
shouldn't be that way

just sing
sing in here
just sing
sing in here

could this be one of those questions that you never seem to answer honestly

i'm on fire
warmth goes higher
it's all so comfortable the cotton and the wool
it's unbelievable, a thread for you to pull from here

you're twisting it's the way you're shifting
it's the way you're twisting

we're like a calf and its leather
how so tell me
and you know that your skin will always be taught
we're gonna all hang together
how so tell me so
cos you know that your skin will always be taut round here

be that way
shouldn't be that way

just sing
sing in here
just sing
sing in here


i'm on fire baby
warmth goes higher baby
it's all so comfortable the cotton and the wool
it's unbelievable, a thread for you to pull from here

if it's something that you said you didn't say it
if it's something that you did you didn't do it
if it's something that you said you didn't mean it
you didn't say it, you didn't do it

oh no it's a beat that you're missing
wait no it's a soul inside

i'm thinking that you you're just the one as me
i'm thinking that you're just too proud to see
i'm thinking that we need this air for breathing

you're the best idea i ever had
never had, never had
now we're strangers on each other's photographs

used to write your name there in the dark
inside my heart in my heart
now my head can't even spell

this farewell

and all of those feelings
we're used to revealing
pull away and they just disappear

and though we both mean it
(i know i don't seem it)
you have the end i had been searching for

thought the chapters followed in that book
never read the lines between
learnt the jacket quotes all off by heart
what a start, what a start
but not narration for that scene

that ending

and all of those feelings
we're used to revealing
pull away and they just disappear

and though we both mean it
(i know i don't seem it)
you had the end i had been searching for

once twice
through the folds we go
on through
creasing up all around
once twice
dustings of sun and snow
in down
plump up
deaden sound

once twice
here i go here i go
up through
hear a wing beat see a heart leap
once down
softens every body blow
in twice
lay me back can't stop me now

don't stop now
keep falling
i love you

stop me
from falling
i love you

you wanna
you wanna
you wanna put it in my
you see my
and how it's
and how it wants to feel your

peel the beat the beat i'm beating

once twice
heating up the way
cut down
tease the creases
come forth
whisper what you meant to say
up in
side splitting into pieces

once twice
here i go here i go
up through
hear a wing beat see a heart leap
once down
softens every body blow
in twice
lay me back can't stop me now

don't stop now
keep falling
i love you

stop me
from falling
i love you

i will touch the sky

this feels right

boy
keep pulling the blinds down
turn up the surround sound
lay back in the low chair
transported to nowhere

oh what is it you'll have me do?
what is it i'll have to do?

boy
talk through the silence
and humour the violence
consider this frame now
make me the same now

oh what is it you want me to?
what is it i'll have to do?

show me where the mark is
show me where the mic goes
show me where my room is
show me where the food goes

tell me how to kiss you
tell me where my hand goes
tell me when it's over
tell me if my tit shows

show me how to cry now
show me how to kneel down
show me how to be hit
show me how to fall down

tell me how to learn lines
tell me how to fake it
tell me how to read signs
tell me how to make it


it's just like a movie
direct me in it
it's just like a movie
dress me up in it
it's just like a movie
cut the bits you don't like out
it's really like a movie
make me up in it

i wanna be that equal
don't think about the sequel

or a hotdog with it

boy
i'm feeling like a movie star
direct you in it
i'm feeling like i could go far
make you up in it
i'm feeling like a movie star
cut the bits i won't like out
i'm really feeling like i could go far
direct you in it

and a hotdog with it

boy
i'm up for the lead role
i'm up for a lost soul
consider the bad guys
remember their dark eyes

oh what is it you'll have me do?
what is it i'll have to do?

boy
i'll be there at the crime scene
a trick for halloween
i'm happy to bare all
i'm happy to play cruel

oh what is it you'll have me do?
what is it i'll have to do?
\
take me to your agent
take me to the back door
take me to the party
take me to the hardcore

keep me from the public
keep me in the limelight
keep me from the failure
keep me from the hindsight

take me to the big time
take me to the a list
take me from noone
take me to the guest list

keep me in the future
keep me in the hotel
keep from the wait staff
keep me from the farewell


it's just like a movie
direct me in it
it's just like a movie
dress me up in it
it's just like a movie
cut the bits you don't like out
it's really like a movie
make me up in it


i'm ready for this moment
this moment keeps me steady

and the popcorn with it


i'm feeling like a movie star
direct me in it
i'm feeling like i could go far
dress me up in it
i'm feeling like a movie star
direct me in it
i'm really feeling like i could go far
direct me in it

and a hotdog with it

just once

i still just can't believe you're gone
i still can't work out what went wrong
won't you come back now
just once
just once
show yourself right here
just once once

i don't accept this has an end
these distant limbs may never mend
lift this chet of lead
just once
just once
raise this heart instead
just once
just once
