VISIBLEHAND

THE VISIBLE HAND EP.

Future Lionheart
Keep them drunk and keep them dumb
an old solution for the young
Its hard to fight with your hands by your side.

Does this city ever sleep
the walking dead can have no dreams
We're marching single file towards the grave.

WE'RE THE GENERATION WITH NOTHING TO DIE FOR

Keep one picture locked away
A portrait of a devils face
Dorian would blush if he saw it

Welcome to the hangover
the smell of sulphur fills the air
We're marching single file towards the grave.

WE'RE THE GENERATION WITH NOTHING TO DIE FOR

Angels sounding out their horns
will fly into the thunderstorm
if this is not a judgement I'll be damned
DAMNED DAMNED DAMNED.


The Only Way is Out
We're draining off our glasses
we'll drink our cares away
and in our party dresses
reaction time delays

All I ever wanted was something to believe
Negative emotion sells you everything

I learned to hate my body
these twisted magazines
will tell me I'm not worthy
as long as I still eat.

All I ever wanted was something to believe
Negative emotion sells you everything

Lover of a ballad
my eyes begin to glaze
stripped and medicated
and handy on my dirty knees

All I ever wanted was something to believe
Negative emotion sells you everything

You told them you were the best lay in the land,
now they've tied both your feet and told you to work with your hands
You told them you were the best lay in the land,
now they've tied both your feet and told you to work with your hands

What are we doing here at this time in this part of town.
Somebodies son, somebodies daughter, some little lamb sent to the slaughter.


Real Men Shoot First
Twenty four years, six months and five days
scared by the light I'll go back to the cave
Man up they say, man up they say
There's a place here for everyone as long as everyone knows their place.
So I'll wait.

I'm dreaming of the stars, but I wont leave here
I'm dreaming of the stars, but I wont leave here

A modern poet yet to master his art
He'll tear out your lungs just to get to your heart
Man up they say, man up they say
There's a place here for everyone as long as everyone knows their place.
So I'll wait.

I'm dreaming of the stars, but I wont leave here
I'm dreaming of the stars, but I wont leave here


She Talks
Praying for snow on the hills this year
I've got carrier bags for my feet.
Making up games as I wait by the phone
for a call from the secret girl.
I'm happily catching a cold this year
cos my nurse has got oranges, I'm fine.

I wont be alone again,
and I'll never talk about the things she says when she talks to me.

Every time that my head kills
I just dream of the secret girl.
And every time that all hope fails
I just dream of the secret girl.

I wont be alone again,
and I'll never talk about the things she says when she talks to me.

She is learning, she is learning to drive.
She is learning, she is learning to drive.
