Lyrics - Yesterday Went Too Soon: Feeder @ WelshBands

Anaesthetic

I'm burning out the TV tubes,
It's three o'clock & I'm confused
Cause commitment is so complete,
It's burning little holes in me
I know that I might look a mess,
And she's so perfect in that Oxfam dress
She looks just like a beauty queen,
Shinning out in velveteen
I'm delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
I love it when she comes around,
She's a firework that never ends
A micro chip inside my brain,
I'm crawling on my knees again
It scares me the way I am,
I'm buried in a sea of sand
Lying on a hand grenade,
Waiting for the world to shake
I'm delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
You make it better
You just take the pain away
Delirious, I'm so delirious, delirious,
I'm so delirious, Delirious
You make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain awayYou make it better
You make the weather seem OK
You're my anaesthetic
You just take the pain away
Anaesthetic,
She's my anaesthetic
Anaesthetic,
She's my anaesthetic

Insomnia

Reading magazines and counting sheep to pass the time away
Hoping that tomorrow's gonna bring a smile home again
Images of palm tree's swaying in the wind on South beach
Takes me back to better days, Summer days the everglades in June
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Flying high in golden skies, I'm flicking channels in my mind
Finding my utopia a different chapter in a book
Thinking back to younger days as I escape in Cooper's Break
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia
Turning off a switch inside me, Leaving all the stress behind me
Flying over streams and houses, Passing over the Wye valley
It takes me back to 84 the future's knocking at my door
My brain, my poor brain
I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia I'm drinking myself to sleep again, Nightnurse pills to keep me sane
Drinking myself to sleep again, Insomnia.

Picture of Perfect Youth

Left out in the sun to dry again, Washed up on a shore line south of Spain
Gazing up with telescopic eyes, Planetary life above the skies
Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Drifting on a boat in emerald seas, Pulling on the strings inside of me
Tasting salt as waves dive over me, Twisting on a rope of memories
Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes
If you could only see, That I'm sinking like a stone
The sea is getting colder, Every second as I go
It's like breathing underwater, But I just can't let you go
My obsession, she's my obsession, my obsession
Oh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moonOh my God, she's my obsession, my obsession (my obsession)
Here she comes, she's a picture of perfect youth
Here she comes, lifting me up to the moon
Here she comes.

Yesterday Went Too Soon

Sitting in today, watching traffic buzzing by, and faces closing in
A victim of regret, it glitters and it fades away, like silver turning grey
Washed it all away, waiting for this dream to end, before it sucks me in
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
Crashing on the ground, the silence seems to suffocate, and bury me again
Waiting for a taste, of happiness to lift me free, and carry me away
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I know it's just a dream but I'm alive
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday
I'm still missing yesterday
I'll wait, I'll wait for you tonight.
Lost another week, feeling like a leper in, a world of vanity
It's killing me today, addiction pulls you down, you know
And she's the drug I need
I'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lights
I'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterdayI'm climbing high, up above the streets and rows of neon lightsI'm holding out my hand but I'm alone
Wish I could show you
Wish you could see through my eyes
Tomorrow shines through
But I'm missing yesterday.

Waiting for Changes

Office blocks, corner shops, traffic jams on every street, The same old rush around
Obsolete, I'm a freak, In a show on Brighton beach, As the snow comes down
Reality's kicking me, Knocking me right off my feet, As the sky spins round
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
Laundry stops, by the lock, On a Sunday afternoon, With all that fuss
Cantelowes skateboard shows, tennants Extra by a row of recycle bins
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
Take a ride to Charing Cross, Join the masses as they shop, Their lives away
29's the northern line, Heading back to lose our minds, To break the chain
We're waiting for changes
Rejected and dented
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
We're waiting for changes
Different perspectives
We're waiting for changes
The lights green but today's red
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes
I'm waiting for changes.

Radioman

Waking each day, No money no pay
Living in a box alone with his pain, Kissing the rain that's pouring again,
Blaming the system from where we came, Trapped inside a fish eye lens,
Trying to get out cause it won't change, Money doesn't mean that much to him.
But maybe another bottle of gin?
Here comes that radio man,
He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah
Here comes that Radioman
Tune in you might hear him,
Radioman
Living in the same old shoes, With every step the world comes through,
Like a river that flows on down, Dragging him under to the sand
He rises up to another day, The people laugh, but they don't stay
They try to hide their guilt away, With a smile that says that its okay.
Here comes the radio man,
He smiles but no one sees him yeah, yeah
Here comes the Radioman
Tune in you might hear him,
Radioman, the radioman
Somebody, somebody hear me
Lift off and take me away
Here comes the radioman he smiles but no one sees him,
Here comes that radioman
Tune in you might hear him,
Radioman, the radioman, radioman
the radioman, radioman

Day In Day Out

We queuing up the tills, Wishing for our lives to change
Just a piece of something new, A taste would keep us sane
Hypocrisy in every day, Drills a hole deep in our brains
Searching for a little hope, A rainbow when it rains
Sitting on an empty bench, Got these nails dug in my skin
Like a leopard with his kill, We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out
Stepping on a treadmill wheel, You must know how that can feel
Blows a fuse inside our minds, Watch the data as it wipes
Taste the bullshit on a plate, We just piss our lives away
Get the hell out while you can, We going under, sinking in
We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out
We're going down, yes we're going down, we're going down?.
Taste a new amphetamine, Alcohol has sucked us in
Introverted in our ways, Trapped inside this plastic skin
Now its rears it's ugly self, Feeds us full of selfish doubt
We've got to keep ourselves afloat, Going under, get me out
We're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day OutWe're going under, slipping in
Under the Water, Don't think we'll recover
Twisted and broken, 10,000 leagues choking
Sinking deep under, don't think we'll recover
Day in Day Out.

Tinseltown

Falling down, reaching out, For someone to come down
Oblivious to all of us, The child that grows inside
Seventeen without a care, She's taking another ride
A sense of peace she's waving back, To faces carved in stone
Tinsel town, here in tinsel town, It's pulled you down
Life in tinsel town, Overthrown, Relinquished all
Life breeds all around, A fun fair trip a carousel
She's trying to hang on, Here in Tinsel town
Life in tinsel town, It's pulled you down
Stuck in tinsel town, I think she might make it
She has the will to go on, She's turning back pages as the world steps on
Here in tinsel town, Life in tinsel town
Its pulled you down, Stuck in tinsel town
Alone, Alone, Alone, So Alone, Here in Tinsel town
Life in tinsel town.

You're My Evergreen

The words we say, Old flowers fade away
Remember yesterday, Wish it would bloom again
Apathy and pain, Here comes the Autumn rain
Old apologies scattered in the wings of fate
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when its
Don't hesitate, cause you will bleed
A thousand tears won't wash it clean
Don't hesitate cause you can free yourself
Evergreen, Evergreen
Down on my knees, Crawling though the streets again
Surrendered to my needs, So I can breathe the air
You're my evergreen, Regents Park in spring
It takes me to a place, Where I can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
I just want some place where I can breathe without this bitter taste
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it's grey
It all looks black and white today
You're my evergreen, Regents Park in spring
It takes me to a place, Where I can dream again
Cause today it all looks black and white, Wish it would change
We can't keep painting colours when it rains
Evergreen, Evergreen, Evergreen

So Well

20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26 still alive
It's dragging me under, Don't think I'll recover
A stone in the water, A nail in my shoulder
Just put it together, You think you're so clever
Can we make it better, Climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
(don't take me down and watch me fall)
Twenty years older, The city gets colder
Still reaching for cover, We live and we suffer
Just put it together, If you think you're so clever
Can you make it better, Pull the pieces together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
40, 41, 42, 43, 44, 45, 46, still alive
It's dragging me under, Don't think I'll recover
But we'll make it better, Climb the mountain together
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
It's gonna break, gonna crack
Gonna fall down and smash
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
(don't take me down and watch me fall, don't break my bones and watch me crawl)
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart
Paralyse, oxidise, feel us drifting apart

Paperfaces

Staring at Paper faces, Expressions like empty pages, Day after day
Waiting for the lights to change now,, Reaching for a cloud to come down,
And cover me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Waiting for the world to change, Dissolution takes a bit off, And swallows me
Looking for a way to get out, Wishing that the rush would come down
And smother me
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
If you can learn to be yourself, Then that's okay
If you can find a reason now, Don't drift away
Walking down streets to nowhere, Stepping on feet with no cares,
Losing my self
Can't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drownCan't shut you out
Can't get you out
Can't take you down
Can't watch you drown
Slide away, slide away
