Nylon
crackles on my skin
same as the pylons
crackle on the air
same as my neurones
crackle on forever
crackle on forever
Someone cornered me, and talked at me for so long
but every word is said lasted a second
that is stretched out on forever
that is stretched out on forever

Your brand new lover's not like other guys
he's the one that turns you on but god knows why
I won't be weird I won't appear cold
but I remember last September we were sharing clothes

Really every time I go out it's to find the
girl I think will somehow make me happy
I guess I'm not too clever
I guess I'm not too clever

tell me
am I last one left at your party
I'm sorry but your name somehow eludes me
no one lives forever you know
no one lives forever

Your brand new lover's not like other guys
he's the one that turns you on but god knows why
I won't be weird I won't appear cold
but I remember last September we were sharing clothes
Your brand new lover's not like other guys
he's not ordinary but could you tell me why

Your nylons
Your pylons
Your silence
Your violence
Your neurones
crackle on
crackle on forever

Your brand new lover
Your brand new lover
Your brand new lover's not like other guys
he's the one that turns you on but god knows why
I won't be weird I won't appear cold
but I remember last September we were sharing clothes
Your brand new lover's not like other guys
he's not ordinary but could you tell me why

Ooh ah ah
Ooh ooh ah ah

Do you feel me?
Can you peel me like a piece of fruit in Caravaggio?
Fear me
But don’t fear me
When you turn on the radio you here them go:
Feel me
No
Peel me like a piece of fruit in Caravaggio
Fear me
No
Don’t fear me
‘Coz when you turn on the radio you here them go:
This is Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper
Sent through time
To come to kill you
This is Jack the Ripper
Jack the Ripper
Toast and tea and buttered kipper
And he’s coming along
You know he’s coming along
You know he’s singing a song
You know he’s feeling strong
Jack the Ripper….
Do you taste me?
Can you face me?
Come on
Suck me up like your favourite flavour
My body is in the lobby
‘Coz when you make like a saviour they break you
Taste me
Come on and face me
Suck me up like your favourite flavour
My body is in the lobby
‘Coz when you make like a saviour they break you
This is Jack…..

In A Century's Time

Once I fell through the void
A grey asteroid
Lonely I spun
Once you gleamed on the sea
A glimmering beam
Shone from a sun

In a century’s time you’ll be a wall in a room
In a century’s time I’ll be a factory’s fumes

Once you flew over ground
Buildings came down
Fiercely you blew
Once I hung on a tree
Brushed by a breeze
A breeze that was you

In a century’s time you’ll be a wall in a room
In a century’s time I’ll be a factory’s fumes

For today these things converge as us
Now they’re me
Now they are you
We are brand new
And tomorrow these things will be something else
Like a car, a dog or a phone
They’ll be brand new
They’ll be brand new…

Hey girl how can you see?
You've blue L.E.D.s where eyes should be
Oh oh baby
Finger the wires
Let the papyrus set on fire
Pour like oil
Station to star
Gymnasium bar
To the drugs in your car
Look
What do you want?
Oh what is it you need?
Where do you want to go?
Where have you ever been?
Oh, where have you been?

You like plastics
And man-made fibres
But could you decipher your own desires?
Oh oh baby
Finger the wires
Let the papyrus set on fire
Pour like oil
Station to star
Gymnasium bar
To the drugs in your car
Look
What do you want?
Oh what is it you need?
Where do you want to go?
Where have you ever been?
Oh, where have you been?

O how strange that I don't remember your name
O how strange that I don't remember your name, your name
I don't remember your name
I don’t, I don't remember your name
What do you want?
Oh what is it you need?
Where do you want to go?
Where have you ever been?
Oh, where have you been?

Ooo girl talking 'bout your pain
Talking like there's no one that's ever felt the same
Listen to yourself looking where to put the blame
But don't you know it's you
It's you that's got to change

Oh no, no, not another one
Oh no x 3
Oh no, no, not another one
Oh no x 3

Ooo you got fingers made of glass
Hinting at the dark things hidden in your past
And I should just ignore it but I can't let it pass
I know I'm gonna wish I never did but I must ask...

I said
Oh no, no, not another one
Oh no x 3
Oh no, no, not another one
Oh no x 3

Ooo girl talking 'bout your pain
Talking like there's no one that's ever felt the same
Listen to yourself looking where to put the blame
But don't you know it's you
It's you that's got to change

Oh no, no, not another one
Oh no x 3
Oh no, no, not another one
Oh no x 3

Oh no x 6
Oh no x 6
Oh no x 6
Oh no x 6
