Don't Be Happy, Just Worry Lyrics
1. Turning American
Do you remember British achievement?
Living when times were good
Watching the start of the end of an era
And would you go back if you could?
When I was younger the smell of the hunger
In all of the music you played
Kept me believing you lived for the lifestyle
And not just the cash to be made
Cos it's a place where people happen
It's the corner of success
Everybody loves you
And you're never second best
The smell of easy money
And you follow it to death
I smell the shit upon your breath
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
Walking away from the crumbling empire
Won't make it grow anymore
Changing your style cos the radio tells me
How can you sleep?You're a commercial whore
And you'd lick the steaming phallus
If it offered you a hit
They'll clean you of integrity
And then they'll make you fit
You'll think you'll glide to stardom
Then you show them what you've got
Your pride, your balls, they own your lot
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I want to be American, I want to be a star
You should be over there, you should go far
But I don't wanna learn cos I know it all now
You should be guaranteed to find out how
You'll always be a wanna be
You look too far away
Cos it's a place where people happen
It's the corner of success
Everybody loves you
And you're never second best
The smell of easy money
And you follow it to death
I smell the shit upon your breath
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
I remember you when you were an Englishman
But now you're turning American
Turning American
2. Crying Over Nothing
You, with the sadness in your eyes
You've got places you could dream to
If you'd only take the time
I've, got the arms to break your fall
Bad you're sad without a reason
And that's the baddest kind of all
Down, down, see then drown
Why, do you let it get you down
Those empty headed heroes
And those rumours going round
Tired, of having people you despise
But you've got so much love inside you
That you've never exercised
Down, down, see then drown
You can't stop crying over
Can't stop crying over nothing
You can't stop crying over, can�t stop crying over
Nothing, nothing, nothing
It's alright, so why care?
If you bleed for the light
I will follow you there
'Cos there's a sun kissed cloud over rain dog holiday's holiday!
Crying over nothing
3. Nothing Ever Changes But The Shoes
In the trials of my youth
On my way to being a man
There were caustic words of ill advice
I'd never understand
But their hometown dreams were shattered
When ambition foiled their plans
But you can't be the one who tries
They love to criticise
I know, or at least they'll try
Laughing is all I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
Cos they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but the shoes
In my one man crusade
Doing what I knew was right
They would tempt me with the honest sweat
Of labour, love and life
And they only find respect for you
If you give up the fight
But you can't be the one who tries
They'll cut you down to size
I know, or at least they'll try
Laughing is all I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
Cos they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but the shoes
But the shoes
I want to be there when you say you're wrong
I want to be there when you crawl
I wouldn't piss on your opinions
And if I stand on top of the world
Then maybe I'll find somebody I know
And if I don't
Laughing is all I can do
Trying to keep from falling through
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
They all got advice to give
Cos they got no life to live
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes
Nothing ever changes but
4. Liberty Cap
Clouded grey and blue my mind is ten miles high and rising
Misty waters calling down surrounding me with healing
To rise, to climb above the chaos, and wash away the filth
To hide inside my reason, the only one I need
And all I can remember, is all I can forget
To taste you is to trust you
I'm hitting that high, I'm hitting that high
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
I've got sickness in my head, I got spiders in my bed
I said, leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
Twist myself around the wreathing corridors around me
Embryo I am my mother smothers me in safety
My own, I could be here beside you, in sickness and in health
Good luck is all I needed
I'm hitting that high, I'm hitting that high
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
Leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
I've got sickness in my head, I got spiders in my bed
I said, leave me be, man, I just wanna be on my own
I'm coming down, I'm coming down
I'm coming down, down, down, down
Wooaah!
5. Splattermania
Play, Relax, Enjoy
Cos you're frying tonight again
It's raw, unclean, uncut
And it's all for the art of pain
Just make-up there
The effects and the movies that twist the brain
My TV screen is dripping red
With gates of hell and evil dead
I cannot wait to see it up close
So slice away and go for gross again
It's splattermania It's extra censored thrills
It's splattermania It's zoom in on the kill
It's splattermania I know you think I'm ill
But if you hold on tight and don�t be shy
We're drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger
It's only splattermania
Lucio, you're back
How we missed you when you were gone
Oh, now it's time to splat
Like you did in the Full Beyond
C-c-c-counting down the sickest ways
To slice and dice your teenage brain
In Traumaville the violence mounts
To multiply the body count again
It's splattermania It's extra censored thrills
It's splattermania It's zoom in on the kill
It's splattermania I know you think I'm ill
But if you hold on tight and dont be shy
We're drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger
It's only splattermania
Splattermania, splattermania, splattermania, yeah-yeah
High rolling
Mmm
Cos everyone's looking for someone to blame
Censorship rules, still the problem remains
Watch with your eyes closed and still you complain
Til no one has an independent thought in their brain
And it's always the same
It's splattermania It's extra censored thrills
It's splattermania It's zoom in on the kill
It's splattermania I know you think I'm ill
But if you hold on tight and don't be shy
We're drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn't real, the nation ain't in danger
It's only splattermania
Splattermania, splattermania
6. Something Weird (Going On In My Head)
There's a light in my room so that it's always night or day
I know that being responsible will help me find my way
Well, I'd swim an ocean to be around it
But I've been swimming since the age I found it
The sweet affliction, people are different
Feeling my head is my home (head is my home)
Better than being alone
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird, There's something weird going on in my head
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird going on in my head, something weird going on in my head
Take me away from all the silence and the pain
Far from the growing reek of greed and personal gain
Well, I'd find shelter, I'd be an outlaw
To dry myself off from the bullshit downpour
Don't need a reason, you don't deserve one
Just buy an easier time (Easier time)
Cos in the back of my mind
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird, There's something weird going on in my head
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird going on in my head
I never knew I could leave here
I never knew it was so easy
Well I never knew it, I never knew I could fly
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Woah, yeah
I'd swim an ocean to be around it
But I've been swimming since the age I found it
The sweet affliction, I think you're different
Feeling my head is my home (Head is my home)
Better than feeling alone
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird, There's something weird going on in my head
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird going on in my head
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird going on in my head
There's something weird, There's something weird
There's something weird going on in my head
Something weird, something weird, something weird, something weird
7. Weekend (5 Long Days)
Monday comes crashing in and all the world looks grey again
Faces on the train seem grim, when yesterday the same were smiling
Another week to kill, another week where time stands still
And shuffling masses feel the chill that comes with their routine
The working scene
Crawl out of bed and then I turn on MTV again
To watch the same songs I can't stand.They sing of love and being happy
Look there's another one that sounds just like the other one
The video without a song is being a famous whore
Frustrates me more
But at the weekend, well everything will be okay
At the weekend, darling
At the weekend, I'll tell the world that for five long days I've been wanting to say
Wanting to say, yeah, yeah
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion
Rain or shine I'm waiting at the front line
I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it
And I've been dying to change, I've been dying to change my ways
Cos I've been dry for five long days
I'll put the world to right, I'll fly like superman in flight
I'll eat the day and drink the night and everyone will be there with me
This week I've seen it through, on autopilot, just like you
And now there's nothing left to do 'cept anything at all
Let's hit the wall
But at the weekend, well everything will be okay
At the weekend, darling
At the weekend, I'll tell the world that for five long days I've been wanting to say
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion
Rain or shine I'm waiting at the front line
I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it
And I've been dying to change, I've been dying to change my ways
'Cos I've been dry for five long days
At the weekend, baby, baby at the weekend
At the weekend, at the weekend
At the weekend, baby, baby, at the weekend
At the weekend, rock, rock, rock, roll
I wanna, I wanna, I wanna ride upon a five mile tide of surprise and oblivion
Rain or shine I'm waiting at the front line
I need it, I need it, like you would not believe it
And I've been dying to change, I've been dying to change my ways
Cos I've been dry for five long
I've been dry for five long days
8. Dreaming In A
And now I'm fine, my mind is clear And nothing bad can touch me here
It's all so right, it's all so beautiful
So maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real
I'm feeling warm, I want to stay
I want to live, My life this way
Protect me still, Oh, as I slowly drift in fog
So maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real
And I can be the child in me
To run with the wind, to dance with the light, to be forever free
I head the crowd (I hear the crowd)
I taste the air (I taste the air)
For just one night (For just one night)
But I don't care (But I don�t care)
I'm five miles high
And here I'll climb forever tall
So maybe tomorrow when we're coming down for real
And leave it all
