Everything Everything – Luddites And Lambs lyrics

[Verse 1]
Yes, I broke the telescope twice
Honey, your etcetera blows me and my confetti
Over a splendid range
I evolved a century as I read that diary
The car left the road
And all I could see was present day
Without the tattoos or tyres
A girl is on the cover again
Turn the channel over, I require every lung
Measure up a plaster cast 'cause I feel mortal
Let's make a man
And let's give him triggers

[Chorus]
Oh, you rust the gears with your blood
Slow release your medicine ball on me
Less of the priest you wanna be, wanna be
Throw your body onto the cogs
Girls Aloud, you're sapping my energy
Speaking in tongues in enemy territory
Wreck a piston they can't ignore
Microsoft, you wanna be my lover
Terrors and tears, I found me in the gutter
'Cause this is a rehearsal no more
Teeth and nails, your little anatomy
War on the Tyne, you're playing a lottery
Bodies replete with everything, everything
All of the prisoners clamouring, clamouring
I decide there's nothing in my body
How can I be sure there's nothing in my body?

[Verse 2]
I demand a shuffling of cards
Doctor (In!) and animal (Out!)
Terrify us with your tales of a tragic loss
Half an hour later they'll be on my eyeballs telling the time
And fashioning stretchers asking me
"Who left all the pyramids on?"
First the Romans, then all the birds
Lipstick on your feathers
Oh, I'm a dinosaur
Even now I hear them from the engines run like
Luddites and lambs
Like luddites and lambs

[Chorus]
Oh, you rust the gears with your blood
Slow release your medicine ball on me
Less of the priest you wanna be, wanna be
Throw your body onto the cogs
Girls Aloud, you're sapping my energy
Speaking in tongues in enemy territory
Wreck a piston they can't ignore
Microsoft, you wanna be my lover
Terrors and tears, I found me in the gutter
'Cause this is a rehearsal no more
Teeth and nails, your little anatomy
War on the Tyne, you're playing a lottery
Bodies replete with everything, everything
All of the prisoners clamouring, clamouring
I decide there's nothing in my body
How can I be sure there's nothing in my body?

[Outro]
Stone and the soil, you're killing me, killing me
Steam and the oil, you're telling me, telling me
Lovers, I know you're out of your element
Joking aside, I've never been anything
Faking my death, you're telling me, telling me
Measure my breath, you're selling me, selling me
Heal the hull, I want it to be over
Flashing a bulb, you're gonna hurt somebody
Oh, you want her for your euphoria
Bullets and effigies, narrower, narrower
Money in mouths, you're selling me, selling me
Heavenly hounds, you're telling me, telling me
Bodies replete with everything, everything
Bodies repeat with everything, everything
I decide there's nothing in my body
I decide there's nothing in my body
I decide there's nothing in my body
How can I be sure there's nothing in my body?
