"The Ministry Of Defence" lyrics
"The Ministry Of Defence"
This is the Ministry
Of Defense
Stairs and walls are
All that's left
Mortar holes let
Through the air
Kids do the same thing
Everywhere
They've sprayed graffiti
In Arabic
And balanced sticks
In human shit
This is the ministry
Of remains
Fizzy drinks cans
And magazines
Broken glass
A white jawbone
Syringes, razors
A plastic spoon
Human hair
A kitchen knife
And a ghost of a girl
Who runs and hides
Scratched in the wall in
Biro pen
This is how the
World will end
There's the bus depot
To the right
Leveled like
A building site
Those are the children's
Cries from the dark
These are the words
Written under the arch
Scratched in the wall
In Biro pen
This is how the
World will end
Thanks to Basia for correcting these lyrics.

Massive Attack - "The Spoils" I got that feeling, that bad feeling that you don't know
I don't even know her but I hope that she comforts you tonight
Nobody here that keeps you in the shade and ever owned you
Some sentimental...
Iggy Pop - "Gold" It's okay, it's alright
The promise of the tongue
Leaving them behind tonight
But I guess this time, I'm doubled up
I'm doubled down again
I got no time to turn it around again
Hail to the thief
And...
Mercury Rev - "The Dark Is Rising" I dreamed of you on my farm
I dreamed of you in my arms
But dreams are always wrong
I never dreamed I'd hurt you
I never dreamed I'd lose you
In my dreams I'm always strong
But now the creek is...
Savages - "Evil" They will try to make you stay
Steal the peace away from you
Soak your actions in self doubt
If you don’t live the way they like
They’ll make you feel jealousy
Only one way to raise a family...
