“But no one’s yet explained to me exactly what’s so great about slaving 50 years away on something that you hate about
Meekly shuffling down the path of mediocrity, well, if that’s your road then take it
But it’s not the road for me
And if all you ever do with your life is photosynthesise, then you’ll deserve every hour of your sleepless nights that you waste wondering when you’re going to die”

“This one time,
I was running through the fields
When I came across a dead guy
With a letter in his hand,
So I scanned it,
And though the grammar was okay,
There was such a lack of purpose
That it was difficult to care.But anyway, hidden in the mess of letters lies the awful truth,
Yeah, that Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.
Yeah, nothing in this life can take her common shame away,
Yeah, ‘cause Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.The next day (about ten o’clock)
It was playing on my mind (well, I say it was)
So I edited it for context (good job)
Till there was nothing fit to print.But anyway, hidden in the mess of letters lies the awful truth,
Yeah, that Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.
Woah, but nothing in this life can take her common shame away,
Yeah, ‘cause Emma’s mum and dad use plastic forks.Maybe it’s an old cliche, but sometimes things are better left expected.
You let your manatee down and then you drown: that’s just the way with nature.
I’ve been here once or twice before with better hair, and let me tell you,
Only the good die young, except for when they don’t, it’s not exactly fair.Yeah yeah yeah yeah, it’ll never be a kingdom’s share.

““I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To catch bacon is my real test
To train them is my causeI will travel across the land
Searching far and wide
Teach bacon to understand
The power that’s insideBacon!
Gotta eat ‘em all—
It’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny
Bacon!Ooooh, you’re my best friend
In a world we must defend
Bacon!Gotta eat ‘em all
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You taste me and I’ll taste you
Bacon!Gotta eat ‘em all!
Yeeaa.Every challenge along the way
With courage I can face
I will eat everyday
To claim my rightful placeCome with me the time is right
There’s no better team
Arm in arm we’ll win the fight
It’s always been our dream
Bacon!Gotta eat ‘em all—
It’s you and me
I know it’s my destiny
Bacon!Ooooh, you’re my best friend
In a world we must defend
Bacon!Gotta eat ‘em all—
Our hearts so true
Our courage will pull us through
You taste me and I’ll taste you
Bacon!Gotta eat ‘em all!

Bacon!”
“You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock ‘n’ roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair”
“And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything
For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video
He’s a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock, tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want”
“We’ve finally found a way to consume boredom every day
We’ve all become our personal gods; we’ve all become so sad and lost”
“Oh but once we were young, and we were crass enough to care
But I guess you live and learn, we won’t make that mistake again”
“Don’t be evil, just be corporate
Fool the world with all your own importance
Portray your tedium for the world to see
Your own movie star and it’s for free”
“Should we follow the sunset or trust the stars and follow the road?”
“Wear your love like it is made of hate, born to destroy and born to create”
“Leviathan, yeah we all want one.
Obidience, consent, accept death.
Brutalness, this life is short.
A Damp refusual, you will be caught.Leviathan, in disguise.
Leviathan, in all your eyes.
Worship denied on your knees and pray.
This simple expectation to save this day.Dictators or democracy,
Obey the price to make us free,
Angels, devils, and some more charade
Give us a pain, a god without shame.Leviathan, in disguise.
Leviathan, in all your eyes.
Worship denied on your knees and pray.
This simple expectation to save this day.Reprobates, and MPLA
Patty Hearst, oh, they’re all the same,
Baader Meinhof and medusa touch
Leviathan, I am your son.Worship denied on your knees and pray.
”
This simple expectation to save this day.
Worship denied on your knees and pray…

I may have bought the very excellent Help!: A Day in the Life just for this song. It was so worth it. (admittedly some really good covers/originals, I LOVE Maximo Park’s - Wasteland)
“But we sing, if we’re going nowhere
Yeah we sing, if it’s not enough
And we sing, sing without a reason
To ever fall in love”
“All you ever gave me was the boredom I suffocate in”
“I’m going down to Suicide Alley, cos the air that I breathe tastes better down there”
