Even Less - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

A body is washed up on a Norfolk beach
He was a friend that I could not reach
He thought I was cold but I understand
But for the grace of god goes another man

And I may just waste away from doing nothing
But you're a martyr for even less

A choirboy is buried on the moors
Where we used to go dreaming when we were bored
So some kids are best left to fend for themselves
And others were born to stack shelves

And I may just waste away from doing nothing
But you're a martyr for even less

Piano Lessons - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

I remember piano lessons
The hours in freezing rooms
Cruel ears and tiny hands
Destroying timeless tunes

She said there's too much out there
Too much already said
You'd better give up hoping
You're better off in bed

You don't need much to speak of
No class, no wit, no soul
Forget your own agenda
Get ready to be sold

I feel now like Christine Keeler
Sleepwalking in the rain
I didn't mean to lose direction
I didn't want that kind of fame

Take your hands off my land

Credit me with some intelligence
If not just credit me
I come in value packs of ten
In five varieties

And even though I got it all now
My only stupid dream
I see you and me together
And how it should have been

I remember piano lessons
Now everything seems clear
You waiting under streetlights
For dreams to disappear

Credit me with some intelligence
If not just credit me
I come in value packs of ten
In five varieties

Take your hands off my land

Credit me with some intelligence
If not just credit me
I come in value packs of ten
In five varieties

Credit me with some intelligence
If not just credit me
I come in value packs of ten
In five varieties

Pure Narcotic - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

You keep me waiting
You keep me alone in a room full of friends
You keep me hating
You keep me listening to the Bends

No amount of pointless days
Can make this go away

You have me on my knees
You have me listless and deranged
You have me in your pocket
You have me distant and estranged

No narcotics in my brain
Can make this go away

I'm sorry that, I'm sorry that I'm not like you
I worry that I don't act the way you'd like me to

You find me wanting
You find me bloodless but inspired
You find me out
You find me hallucinating fire

No narcotics in my brain
Can make this go away

Have we ever been here before?
Running headlong at the floor
Leave me dreaming on a railway track
Wrap me up and send me back

Slave Called Shiver - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

I need you more than you can know
And if I hurt myself it's just for show
I found a better way to curb the pain
You put a trigger here inside my brain

Mother I need her
I'm falling apart
Mother I need her
And it's only the start

I may be nothing now but I will rise
I'll have more followers than jesus christ

Mother I need her
I'm falling apart
Mother I need her
And it's only the start

-music-

Through all the smashing things and crashing cars
I love the ground you walk with all my heart

Mother I need her
I'm falling apart
Mother I need her
And it's only the start

Don't Hate Me - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

A light snow is falling on London
All sign of the living has gone
The last train pulls into the station
And no one gets off and no one gets on

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone

One light burns in a window
It guides all the shadows below
Inside the ghost of a parting
And no one is left, just the cigarette smoke

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone

Don't fight me
I know you'll never care
Can I call you on the telephone, now and then?

-music-

Don't hate me
I'm not special like you
I'm tired and I'm so alone

Don't fight me
I know you'll never care
Can I call you on the telephone, now and then?

This Is No Rehearsal - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

How many children did I bring into the world?
How many did I lose in the shopping arcade?

This is no rehearsal
- play it back and throw things at the screen
This is no rehearsal
- somebody interpret this for me

And still I remember how I dressed him this morning
And then he was gone - stolen, my only one

This is no rehearsal
- play it back and throw things at the screen
This is no rehearsal
- somebody interpret this for me

-music-

This is no rehearsal
- play it back and throw things at the screen
This is no rehearsal
- somebody interpret this for me

Baby Dream In Cellophane - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

I am in my pram
Look you, I'm so new
Oh, I am sleeping there
Underneath the stairs

If you wanted to
You'd find inside my mind
Things so surreal

In the rain in cellophane
Pale dogs and demigods
They won't bring me down
The clocks go 'round, they never stop

I've been in Limousines
I've seen inside your dreams
It's raining there
Try not to stare

In the rain in cellophane
Pale dogs and demigods
They won't bring me down
The clocks go 'round, they never stop

In the rain in cellophane
Pale dogs and demigods
They won't bring me down
The clocks go 'round, they never stop

Stranger By The Minute - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

Ghosts in the park
Appear just after dark
Killers, children ...
But no-one has a harp
They look like tourists
It makes me want to laugh

Under floorboards
It's hard to fly a kite
Underwater
My cigarette won't light
Standing in the shade
I'm getting frostbite

Strange as I seem
I'm getting stranger by the minute
Look in my dream
It's getting stranger by the minute

When I'm drowning
You drag me up to you
Rings in the water
My only residue
But you're just fiction
And I'm a twisted boy

-End-

A Smart Kid - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

Stranded here on planet Earth
It's not much but it could be worse
Everything's free here, there's no crowds

Winter lasted five long years
No sun will come again I fear
Chemical harvest was sown

And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?

A spaceship from another star
They ask me where all the people are
What can I tell them?

I tell them I'm the only one
There was a war but I must have won
Please take me with you

-music-

And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?

Stop Swimming - Porcupine Tree

[Written by Steven Wilson]

This song leaks out onto the pavement
It could be a joke, it could be a statement
The more that I fake it and pretend I don't care
The more you can read in to what isn't there

Maybe it's time to stop swimming
Maybe it's time to find out where I'm at
What I should do, where I should be
But no-one will give me a map

-music-

I'll leave now this can't continue
But I forget which door I came through
And I know that the lift can be painfully slow
So I think I'll leave by the window

Hear something... ...[?]
