Psalm
long intro, Em F D
Arrival of birth
This glorious violence
helpless skin and bone
Tiny footsteps tread
Upon a road
For which they did not ask
Some will be lucky
For the others will pave
The path for their children
Arrival of birth
This glorious violence
helpless skin and bone
Lord the rules are insane
Winners lose the losers play again
Lord the rules are insane
Poor are the victims the rich collect the claim
Arrival of death
and all is worthless
skin and bone again
A legacy to fade
a history is made
written by scholars
scholars taught
to learn from a past
where no lesson was learned
Arrival of death
and all is worthless
skin and bone again
Chorus
Ending
Am F E G
I lost my way, I lost my way
When you asked me to pray

G riff
Em F G
verse riff ( C Em G)
I was told you work, In mysterious ways
I learned you were liberal, with your selection
I've been gifted a life, with wonderful people
Why must you start, to take them from me?
G Riff---------------------------------
Em F G
So speak to me
Let me hear what you say
Speak to me
You built this world, in alls it's glory
You gave us greed, to strip it all away
But I hope you're there, taking care
Offering refuge, for our weary souls
Em G F
So speak to me
Let me hear what you say
Speak to me
let me hear what you say------------

Wonder

Wonder
I wonder why many things, fall they way they do
I wonder why we conform and struggle to see things through.
The earth on which we stand is covered in Autumn leaf
The signs of winter touch our soul as we feel bereaved
I wonder why we cannot see the people closest to us
I wonder why we still stand there refusing to admit our loss
The bridge on which we stand has crumbled and untied
We can either run to our sides or repair it over time
I wonder why you built a palace, lined it with golden chairs
I wonder why you sit alone and deny your getting scared
The silence of a room littered with photographs
Of people that you still love, but people of your past.

Steel

Steel
With the ebb and the flow, Of Grahams road
The weekend night,The dirt and the streetlights
I wander home, Drunk and alone
I look to my feet, Tired and close to defeat
I hear a voice, He removes my choice
Of no violence, He screams at my silence
The metal flashes, He stabs and he slashes
Do not let this be, The last face I see
Dirty--- Steel---
With the ebb and the flow, I struggle to control
My warmth, my cold, I will not let go
Footsteps walk past, The concern does not last
These people need to eat, the sexes need to meet
I think of my life, of my son and my wife
It was a simple twist of a knife
Look at the beauty,of this epic country
This metal fascination, a scar on our nation.
Dirty--- Steel---
A scar on our nation
This metal fascination

Crown
Perfect cars in perfect drives ( D riff)
about to leave a perfect house
to a job I can't stand (C G D)
I switch on the radio
the DJ's loud my mood is low
it was a hell of a night
----------------------------------------------------------
hold me down, hold me down ( E, G, Bm Am)
I've a confession for the crown
hold me down, hold me down
I have done something wrong in this town
----------------------------------------------------------
A perfect smile it makes me sick (D Riff)
he shakes my bleached hand
I wonder what makes him tick (C G D)
the calls come, dialling tone
the chat in the office is monotone
it drives me insane
chorus ( E G Bm Am)
I shot her down
I shot her down
come home to a gathered crowd
I step across a police line
I should not have crossed

I don't want to wait
I don't want to wait

Forward
long intro
Leave now
We have to get in the car and leave now
Dusk is falling and we're getting left behind
The ghosts of our past are going to rob us blind
I cannot pay if you do not show the way
Moving forward can't see where we're going
Forced by
A hand you never see or want to feel now
Pushing you on the back you'd think its real
Moving forward can't see where we're going
Forward!
Long outro

Joker
notes D, CBCB
what are you hiding from me?
I'm the electorate when can I see
what future you have laid for the nation
when only the rich feel privileged elation
what are you hiding from me?
When can we see
what are you hiding from me?
Will we be surprised
money burns, floating down
to lie against a riot shield
once held by a broken policeman
fed up defending a politician
bass
clean riff D C B D x2
vox x2
riff x4
vox x2
the queen of hearts
two faced ace
a political joker
which is higher?
Which is higher!!

Power
verse C Am F G, Chorus Dm F C G, Em G
Far away my dreams so far away
it was touching distance then it was taken from me
power, how did you get so much power?
when one persons choice can effect so many
and I still don't know
if they'll build this road
fed up cutting my feet
trying to get to something out of my reach
out of my reach
out of my reach
helpless I feel so entirely helpless
nest I build was ruined by a fluke
greater, my troubles just got greater
my limbs hang and nothing is resolute

Pay
Intro
If we take this now
will we pay for it later
If we take this now
Is it the start of the summer
(guitar)
If I grab your smile
can I save it for later
for every easy straight
there is a difficult corner
-but what the hell lets just go for it-
(guitar distort)
if we take this now
will we pay for it later
the nights are short
and the days are getting longer
-so what the hell lets just go for it-

Industry
You get inside my head
You dig it with a spoon
you lay it on the bed
and rummage through
where I'm coming from
there is no view
there is industry
but nothing new
surrounded by metal shapes
twisted and gnarled
I fed the dog
but still it snarled
chorus
you can hear the machine
its turning round
blows out the fire
and scars the ground
chorus
---------------ringing ------------------------
people talk to you
but its nothing new...
heavy end
