There's a hole in your logic,
You who know all the answers, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
You claim science ain't magic, (Oo-oo-oo-oo)
And expect me to buy it

Goodbye Mr. A,
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much,
Goodbye Mr. A,
You had all the answers but no human touch,
Your life is subtraction,
Your number is up,
Your love is a fraction,
It's not any more

So busy showing me where I'm wrong,
You forgot to switch your feelings on, (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
So, so superior, are you not,
You love a little bit but you forgot

Goodbye Mr. A,
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much,
Goodbye Mr. A,
You had all the answers but no human touch,
Your life is subtraction,
Your number is up,
Your love is a fraction,
It's not any more

Goodbye Mr. A

Goodbye Mr. A,
The world was full of fun until you opened my eyes,
Goodbye Mr. A,
Wish you hadn't pulled my mind and killed the surprise,
Goodbye Mr. A,
You promised you would love us, but you knew too much,
Goodbye Mr. A
You had all the answers but no human touch.

Your life is subtraction,
Your number is up,
Your love is a fraction,
It's not any more

Read a story about a small town girl
Who came from humble beginnings
To just do oh so well
She used to go to raynes park high school
But now she lives in Hollywood
Up in those there hills

Its ok and its alight
But she says everything keeps going oh so wrong in my life
And I say; you've got it all you've got it made
But she says money honey, darling just can't buy me everything
And I say everything's ok
Everything's allright

I've tried everything I possibly can
She said, I bet all I was, was just a shag
She says I'm fed of with just been friends
But I said thats the end of the story
That's just the way it is

If you ask me for my secrets
Ill never tell
Because you might like what I've got to say

• Title: The Lost Art Of Murder
• Album: Shotters Nation
• Year: 2008

Lyrics:

Could roll a four
Could roll a nine
Find yourself washed up in paradise

Just like before
She never used to mind
I lost my phone in paradise

And what a nice day for a murder
You call yourself a killer but the only thing that you're killing is your time
There's nothing absurder
A bird is just a burden
To your heart your soul your body spirit and mind

Oh don't look at me like that
She won't take you back
You said too much, you been too unkind
Get up off your back
Stop smoking that
You could change your life
Do you think you'll change their mind

No light before
No light behind
Someone else washed up in paradise

Could roll a four
Could roll a nine
Find yourself washed up in paradise

Just like before
She never used to mind
I lost my phone in paradise

And what a nice day for a murder
You call yourself a killer but the only thing that you're killing is your time
There's nothing absurder
A bird is just a burden
To your heart your soul your body spirit and mind

Oh don't look at me like that
She won't take you back
You said too much, you been too unkind
Get up off your back
Stop smoking that
You could change your life
Do you think you'll change their mind

• Title: Videotape
• Album: In Rainbows
• Year: 2007

Lyrics:

When I'm at the pearly gates
This will be on my videotape, my videotape
Mephistopheles is just beneath
and he's reaching up to grab me

This is one for the good days
and i have it all here
In red, blue, green
Red, blue, green

You are my center
When i spin away
Out of control on videotape
On videotape
On videotape
On videotape

This is my way of saying goodbye
Because I can't do it face to face
I'm talking to you after it's too late
From my videotape

No matter what happens now
You shouldn't be afraid
Because I know today has been the most perfect day I've ever seen
