A Murder In The Glee Club 'Intro (F. Corn)
A fond hello Whoever you are You're about to be the star Of the show We're hoping you'll stay And maybe listen to us play So turn off your mind Tune out the world and everyone And step inside a murder in the...Welcome to a murder in the glee club....to red (M. Smith)
I woke up with a different life I was wondering where I'd been And who took care of things while I was away And I'm missing a little too much of my diamond time It makes me wonder if I ever really knew I needed you to see no one was in control When I told you about the obvious me before Can you remember when I told you 'and the mood Changes' when you feel that you are not controlling you Well I tried to warn you all those years ago It was a beautiful red sky day All the creatures a lovely blue Walking through me with a look that made no sense I woke up with a different life I was wondeirng where I'd been And who took me back ti here today I didn;t want to beleive I didn;t want to be Sunday morning after all just breathe I've been looking for you and I know that you are not that faraway When I was at the bazaar I heard that you had been there yesterday I want to eat the stars but I don't know where they fold And now I'm living in an echoing metaphor"...to red" actually begins lyrically with "and the mood changes..." from our first album "Bionic" which told of the surreal feeling that overcomes you, the instant you realize everything around you may not be exactly what it seems (the part of the song that is mimicked this feeling was misinterpreted as a hidden track by most). "...to red" picks up from this point and describes an attempt to function normally while trying to find a way out of this altered state."
Spin (J. Archibald)
I can't believe you ran But I can believe you wanted out You wouldn;t help me focus Couldn't help me focus On what it was all about The devil was name And many times you called it out You said I was unimportant WHy was I not important to you I could not help myself I spin I've fallen to the ground I spin My weakness has been found There were many miles between us Many nights and many days But as the time away grew longer TYou were not getting stronger And I had moved further away Maybe it was my ambition That was the thorn in your side I wanted to rise above And still I would keep your love I tried, but it died You always told me Tried to show me Spin me 'round But I was too high to come down Yeah, I'm spinnin Yeah, I'm spinnin Yeah, I'm spinnin Come on now Come on now Come on now
The Garden Song (M. Smith)
They found you in the garden Arranged smile staned your face You were already hardened Grace Angel that can't be replaced Last flower of the season It always seemed to bring you down Strange to picture you freezing Your marble skin as cold as the ground When they found you all the other places I've known started laughing The truth unfolds It surrounds you Cold october afternoon Crystals design you In crude displays that shine under the moon You traveled in a circle You ended back where you began And no one ever told me What you were holding in your hand They found you in the garden Arranged smile stained your face
The Specter (M. Smith)
Feel the change of season in the ground when you are dead I can't find a reason going back to what you said Everyone is their own God THINK ABOUT WHAT I JUST SAID Everyone is their own fraud if you allow to be mislead The space between where we convene Sits there silently waiting for another day To carry sound up from the ground Like a symphony that will never get to play out The day I found you tied and bound I felt you would never be back here with me Feel the change of season in the ground where you were dead I can't find a reason going back to what you said
"Written as a conversation between someone living and someone non-living. At this point in 'the murder story', the killer is trying to rationalize to the victim thatthe murder was actually a good thing - a sort of 'favour'."
Melt (M. Smith)
I am you will you be me? We'll just see what we want to see Carefully constructed by our minds What to eat, how to play, when to talk and where to pray There's always someone else to live your life Do you hate me or do you want to be my friend? Why did you wake me when I was sleeping on the banch? Someday I'll see you walk with me Until then just say good-bye I could have swore I heard from you Anyhting that I can do You can do it better if you try Well I don't care when I lose That's the outcome I would choose Looking from your crowd you'd see me smiling back at you Where do you think I am now? I will not be alone - where do you think I am now? A better story a better plan This guy thinks he's Superman I htink I'd like to smash his face with kryptonite I wish it all would go away Don;t come back another day I wonder what it's like to get inside and be alone
If I Tell (M. Smith)
Crashing upward ocean wave Sky is falling Tell me how will we be saved? Surreal Carousel A thousand horses I knew And when I talked with them They felt they knew me too I don't want to breatha a word to anyone Who has a lot to lose if I Tell Sleeping quiet dream today Weary waking Sad to feel it slip away An inner universe A place for me to dwell I want to take you there I want to make you well (I'm trying to find a way - I'm trying to find a way) I sit and watch him draw you in zero style "Feel free to read your future's here in black and white" Picked clean the reason tree I planted in your mind He says "I'm sorry, you just signed away your life" Can we go there too? Yes we can go there if we...
Self-Contained (J. Archibald)
I wanna live a while But still stay young I wanna see the earth and not feel numb All the time Not feel numb I wanna tatse your lips Eat you up I wanna give a little But not too much I'm restrained Not too much I offered to help you To lift you up But never to be the good one I wanna feel the rush of an electric song I wanna be in love It turns me on It's the way you turn me on You painted the pictures I wanted to see It helped me escape the insanity I hate the way I'm self contained I need control to operate I've thought of leaving But I won't let go I can't let go If you know what I'm thinking Would you try to get inside my head To stop me from sinking For I am something you ar enot Still I...
Carry (M. Smith)
"Fool" is the word I'm using to talk about me losing I fail at everything I do "We Know!" is all I'm hearing That's the reason I've been pushed to say that "I don't want to" And when you talk it carries It carries you I won't carry you Standing with my back to you Knowing that you can't see through I get the feeling you don't mind Bedtime lingers dealing with the censored season Goldfishfingers feel it slip away Do you expect me to be Here and be happy to see you You reaping fortune from my mind Take what you want then leave me But don;t forget there's still a certain thing I'll have when you're through
Missed The Day (J. Archibald)
I kissed away So many things that I longed to do I missed the day But there's so much that I can pass on to you Your memories will always belong to you No one can take them away Stare at the sun And hope that the moon is in front of you You've just begun Do all the things that you want to do And don't let the others influence you It's hard to elude everyone And I covered my eyes to the lady in front of me I asked her to leave me alone Live for the day And all that you've found and hope to find I'm going away And won't be coming back for a long time There's not much I have or could leave behind I can't find a reason to stay ANd I covered my eyes to the lady in front of me I wanted to be left alone And people will know Know what they want from you To keep you below And never be willing to You will rise above my eyes I won't wait for you tonight I missed the day I missed the day
Bear Bear (M. Smith)
I picked you up and I took you somewhere This is where you'll live - I don;t care I am not your friend Bear: "Take a picture of me Monday Take another one Sunday How much did I bend?" But it's allright Maybe you could look at this as a circus show And you can't fight You will never know yourself again I am selling sight and sound of You becoming quite unwound love Hero in the end who are you to know yourself and Who are they to love their wealth and Here it comes again Bear: "I just think it's lovely that you pay To feel the color of the day Watch me for an hour while I stare back from the void Was it something that I said To make you turn and leave me here for dead?"

How I Feel (M. Smith)
I've been watching all the sheeple in the world Masses flocking to the mindless shit they've heard And this is how I feel This is what I say to all you people I don't know This is how I feel Will you even notice when I go? Well I'll be leaving here when I say so If I told you, you could be my friend instead Would you even listen or are you able to descend? I can't understand how you believe it's all true I've done what I can to try to let you know I can't understand how you believe it's all true And I'd love you to know that I'll pray and this is how I feel (I hope that someday you will see) This is what I say to all you people I don't know (I hope that you will overflow) This is how I feel Will you even notice when I go? Well I'll be leaving here when I say so
"The music and melody for this song were written and then it sat for a couple of months without lyrics because I really didn't have anything to write 'about'. Then one night I turned on the T.V. and the 'Spice Girls' were performing on Saturday Night Live."
A Question Of Faith (J. Archibald)
You left us all behind Was this the way that you'd remind us to cry? How could I be this close And not go through what I'm supposed to Why? Is there something I forgot? Was it the service? Maybe I'm just selfish today And I can't comprehend why I'm not feeling sentimental Is it a question of my faith? If you were here today Would you look at me and come out swinging? I never meant for you to hate me But I didn;t feel It's not my choice to make But who decides when we are taken away? I need someone to blame They played the funeral song But I didn;t want to sing along today Should I be ashamed? Where are my tears? Did I really know you that well? It doesn't matter It doesn't matter It doesn't matter Or does it? Is this the way to die? A familiar place that I'm thinking of keeps me warm"This song was virtually discovered in the studio."
