Elastica - Image Change
should the image change

would the rest look better

surface dissolves skin and bone

we're on the other side

it might be better

if i left you now

talk for hours

but it doesn't change

this feeling won't go away



should the image change

cost effects the measure

it does explain a second chance

i keep it all inside

it might be better

if i left you now

talk for hours

first impressions last

and cast shadows on the rest

Elastica - In The City

[i'm working for the dogs in the city]

your mind was strong but your body was weak

now your body's here but your mind has snuffed it

i think it's time that somebody stopped it.

on the screen there's a boy with no name

it looks like like you but it's just not the same

you're so damn gone, i can hardly see you

it must have been a double at the bbc

oh yeah...

in the city, in the disco

[think you're] pretty, [...]

it's a shit-hole, you're a hero,

you're a freak-oh....

just when i think i'm getting the knack

i'll see you and have a panic attack

i'm an acrobat on the channel changer

and it seems i'm out of danger

oh yeah....

in the city, in the disco

[think you're] pretty, [...]

it's a shit-hole, you're a hero,

you're a freak-oh....

Elastica - Indian Song
if you want to,

then you've got to

let it show,

it is waiting,

it is waiting.



if you want to,

then you've got to

let it go,

it is waiting,

it is waiting.



if you want to,

then you've got to

let it show,

it is waiting

heaven is waiting.

Elastica - Line Up
drivel head wears her glad rags,

she's got her keys, money and fags,

i know that her mind is made up,

to get rocked.



drivel head needs a new man,

as only a drivel head can,

he's a hormonal nightmare,

so beware.



another victim of line up in line,

line up in line is all i remember.

oh, how their favours change,

you could have been kinder.

yes, yes, line up in line,

line up in line is all i remember.

oh, how their favours change,

you could have been kinder.



drivel head knows all the stars,

loves to suck their shining guitars,

they've all been right up her stairs,

do you care?



drivel head knows all the bands,

knows them like the back of her hands.

you can't see the wood for the trees,

on your knees.



another victim of line up in line,

line up in line is all i remember.

oh, how their favours change,

you could have been kinder.

yes, yes, line up in line,

line up in line is all i remember.

oh, how their favours change,

you could have been kinder.

Elastica - Never Here

it's a sign of devotion

you made everybody else seem insane

you filled my head with your notions

you made everybody else seem so tame

in your bed i lay reeling

you made everybody else seem a shame

i knew from the way i was feeling

nothing could ever be quite the same



i moved straight into your shoes

i took up your cause and answered your phone

i couldn't really imagine

what life was like when i was alone

then i started to worry (then i started to worry)

i thought of our lives left on the shelf

too much tv and curry

too much time spent on ourselves.



we were sitting in waiting

and i told you my plan

you were far too busy writing

words that didn't scan

and you lent me your records

and i leant you an ear

funny how it seems to me now

that you were never here

never really here.



in our bed i lay reeling

you made everybody else seem insane

i knew from the way i was feeling

nothing could ever be quite the same

it's a sign of devotion

you made everybody else seem so tame

then it felt like going through the motions

first impressions never remain



we were sitting in waiting

and you told me your plan

i was far too busy writing

rhymes that'll never scan

now i've sold all your records

'cos they give me the fear

funny how it seems to me now

that you were never here

never really here

Elastica - Nothing Stays The Same


took back time, take an instant pleasure

credit is due for the life of leisure

get to work and work gets done

best at being was not best at all



face the facts, being best got bitter

simple tastes won't suit me better

used to matter but that got done

best at being was not best at all



nothing stays the same

always change to remain



less than fine peace of mind

keep in check there is no time



tasks take time and time took effort

packed in pieces and pieced together

tend to work and work gets done

best at being was not best at all

Elastica - Operate
i'm really close you see

feel it breathing

in my living heart

i see you going for a life that's cruising

waste at smart

i really do

i really want it, but is it here?

i love you anyway true

no flickers

listen, they'll disappear



separate the scenes and the hints that make it

operate in a sane way all start to fall apart

sitting in day after day is not a good way

after all



and i just want to go home



dreams are made of this

but they're

over there

i know you sent me here

to peel away your fear

operate the groove

i need a reason

for being here

your crazy ways

are in my ear



...and i just want to go

Elastica - Paranoid
why d'you have to be so paranoid

[can't keep away...]

[...]

why d'you have to be so paranoid



why d'you have to be so paranoid

[can't keep yourself, can't keep your health]

[...]

why d'you have to be so paranoid

Elastica - Rockunroll


rock and roll is dead,

i put that thing in its head.

i told it what i said.

who wants to sha-la-la with or without you,

tra-la-la-la-la-la with or without love.

rockunroll is bred,

when its shiny skin is shed,

with a poison pencil lead,

you all rock until you're bled.

Elastica - See That Animal
see that animal get some heavy metal

watch the world go singing sha-la-la-la

white stick happiness, will we ever know how it feels, how it feels?

i feel your tatoo on mine, but i can't wash it off this time

oh it's time, oh it's time, oh it's time, oh it's time.



see that drug act, that ac/dc drag act on the wires in the sky tonight

fifteen new cities, but will we ever know how it feels, how it feels.

i feel my tatoo on you, it's a sweet thing terry, but it's not true

it's not true, it's not true, it's not true, it's not true.

Elastica - Smile
one, two, three, four

peaches and cream

where have you been?

did you know i've been waiting all night?

whose bed were you in?

whose head were you turning?

don't you know i've been out of my mind

'cos i know what you fear you will find

oh why...



sweetness and light

i don't wanna fight you

but i don't wanna listen to lies

your face is a mess

you know you should drink less

i said i don't want to hear how time flies

'cos i know from the look in your eyes

you were talking to some girl

who'd seen you on her t.v. set

she said that she felt like she knew you

although you'd only just met

oh yeah...



don't stop talking shop

i'll see you down the time swap

i've been tested and tried

lost on the tide

so cold inside

do you know i've been out of my mind

'cos i know what you fear you will find

you were talking to some girl

who said that she'd seen you before

oh my head's such a mess

'till i hear your key in the door

oh yeah...oh yeah

Elastica - Soft
and now we find

looking back at your state of mind,

was it all just a cover up,

woke your mother up,

you were on tv.



did the devil say to you,

you can make it through,

i'll take you to the top

and now that you're heaven bent

and it pays the rent,

is it hard to stop?



s.o.f.t.

thought you knew the score

s.o.f.t.

always wanted more

s.o.f.t.

are you sure you're sure

s.o.f.t.



and now we find

looking back at your state of mind,

was it all just a cover up,

broke your mother up,

on my tv.



did the devil say to you,

you can make it through

i'll take you to the shop

and in a dress too small

to be a dress at all

is it hard to stop?



s.o.f.t.

s.o.f.t.

always wanted more

s.o.f.t.

are you sure you're sure

s.o.f.t.

Elastica - Spastica
a morbid fascination with all things in extremes

a limited sport will leave its spot on me

early in the morning, i've given up on sleep

i'm in the attention, but all i hear is my heart beat

his spastic aspirations will make a man of me

brought him for his playing, such sensitivity

monsters of the present are the monsters of the past

took a look in your lyric book, your head's right your arse

it's unbelievable, the way you got it all, it seems improbable

the inner city fauna is crying round your feet

i never really noticed how your eyebrows seemed to meet

in perpetual fear of being swallowed whole

beached in the suburbs in the body of a whale

Elastica - Stutter
no need to whine, boy,

like a wind-up toy you stutter at my feet,

and it's never the time, boy,

you've had too much wine to stumble up my street.

well it isn't a problem,

nothing we can't keep between the sheets,

tell me you're mine, love,

and i will not wait for other bedtime treats.



is there something you lack,

when i'm flat on my back,

is there something that i can do for you?

it's always something you ate,

or it's something you hate,

tell me is it the way that i touch you?

have you found a new mate,

and is she really great,

is it just that i'm much too much for you?

oh, oh oh, ouah oh ah



don't feed me a line, boy,

i can hear that voice you use upon the phone,

and there's no need to be coy,

that is something you can do upon your own.

well it isn't problem, nothing we can't solve so just relax.

am i on the wrong train, love,

and will i have to tie you to the tracks.

oh, oh oh, ouah oh ah

i really want you to

Elastica - The Other Side
bbc radio 1 evening session 08/08/96



it's been really hard i know

it's been really hard under fire

so take a look at what this world's become

you know i've really got to go right now, oh



you've been polishing that gun too long

it's seen no action since the war begun

so take a look before you join the other side

you know i've really got to go right now



so strung out



you see [that i] don't want to play this game

i need your shoulder to cry on

it's something i can rely on

don't want to live this way

that's why i'm leaving this for you

to russia with love



oh, see you

it's me



we've [been] pushing it, it's like cold war

the walking wounded from the night before

so take a look before you join the other side

you know i've really got to go right now



i'll see you round



you see [that i] don't want to play this game

i need your shoulder to cry on

it's something i can rely on

don't want to live this way

that's why i'm leaving this for you

to russia with love



[you] see i'm talking about you

don't want to fight without you

don't want to fight about it

i'm just your [lover!]

Elastica - The Way I Like It
when i work all day

just the way i like it

sing a song with a subtle hand

when i need to spike it

and i'm living all right

and i'm doing ok

had a lover who was made of sand

and the wind blew him away



but i've got a good idea..



don't need to be right

don't need to be wrong

been torn with a subtle hand

that's why i sing this song

it's a rolling ride, oh yeah

that look in your eyes, oh no

hold me with another hand

it'll be all right

Elastica - Unheard Music
friends, a warehouse pain

they tack their own car



a thousand kids who buried their parents



there's laughing outside

we're locked out of the public eye



no smooth chords on the car radio

no smooth chords on the car radio



we set the trash on fire

and watch outside the door



the??? of the paper

and out of the???



there's laughing outside

we're locked out of the public eye



no smooth chords on the car radio

no harsh chords on the car radio



no smooth chords on the car radio

no... chords on the car radio

Elastica - Vaseline
(louder, louder)



when you're stuck like glue

when you need some goo

when you're stuck like glue,

vaseline

when you're black and blue,

vaseline

when you're stuck like glue,

give me some

when you're stuck like glue

if you'd like to woo,

if it's hot like you,

give me some

do you need a clue,

i want some

vaseline, vaseline, vaseline,

vaseline, vaseline, vaseline.

Elastica - Waking Up
i'd work very hard but i'm lazy

i can't take the pressure and it's starting to show

in my heart you know that it pains me

a life of leisure is no life you know



waking up and getting up has never been easy,

oh oh, i think you should know.

waking up and getting up has never been easy,

oh, oh, i think you should know.

oh, oh, i think you should go.

make a cup of tea, and put a record on.



i'd work very hard but i'm lazy

i've got a lot of songs but they're all in my head.

i'll get a guitar and a lover who pays me

if i can't be a star i won't get out of bed.



waking up and getting up has never been easy,

oh, oh, i think you should know.

waking up and getting up has never been easy,
