CD version (SMASCD 111)

1. Four Chords the Made a Million (3:37)
2. Disappear (3:39)

We made the world believe we didn't care We gate crashed parties and just stood and stared We moved to London and stayed in all year In your shadow I disappear

You made a choice for us to live it up I've got a voice inside me saying give it up Let's get out of here, let's find a new career You be famous, I'll disappear

Disappear - I erase myself again

I need security, you favour chance I ponder everything while you advance You bring the world to me and I just sneer Standing next to you I disappear

Disappear - I erase myself again

3. In Formaldehyde (5:09)

Dust in the kitchen Coffeepot microdots Now we are coasting Talking less, breathing stress

Somewhere inside I have died So I will lie in formaldehyde People walk through my insides

When I get out of here I get a plastic vase And you get to keep the car

Or do you want me to stay ? The things that I have to say You've heard it all anyway

Send me to sleep You always could, fatherhood

Tie up loose ends Make it stop, forget me not

And would you really mind If I told you a millionth time The story of my decline ?

You never seem to take The time to contemplate Before you annihilate

2. Even Less - demo (15:44)

A body is washed up on a Norfolk beach Where I used to build castles in the sticky heat A cyclone destroys an ancient site A killer strikes twice in one night

But Jesus was crucified for doing nothing And God is worshiped for even less

A choir boy is buried on the moor A nine-year-old is forced to be a whore Some kids are best left to fend for themselves And others are born to stack shelves

But Jesus was crucified for doing nothing And God is worshiped for even less

Sometimes I wander and forget myself I'm just escaping while I stack these shelves

But Jesus was crucified for doing nothing And God is worshiped for even less
