Culture Vulture Lyrics
CULTURE VULTURE
Suck it dry, drain the mainstream
Offer nothing but your own scheme
Fifteen minutes, more or less
Showed me nothing but a nice dress
Come on, come on, come on, come on and join the fun
You’ll be a star
Come on, come on, come on, open to anyone
Culture vulture you leave nothing worthwhile
Don’t need skill, special ability
Can’t see a talent for all the publicity
Column inches, TV screens
Not a good trace to show where you’ve been
Come on, come on, come on, come on and join the fun
You’ll be a star
Come on, come on, come on, open to anyone
Culture vulture you leave nothing worthwhile
This is the deal
Don’t make it seem real
Don’t make it easy
Don’t want reality
Give us a message
Sing us a song
Give us the story of where it went wrong
Come on, come on, come on, come on and join the fun
You’ll be a star
Come on, come on, come on, open to anyone
Just come as you are, too easy.
Come on, come on, come on, come on and join the fun
You’ll be a star
Culture vulture you leave us as empty as you are

FIND THE DIAL
The human's lost its condition, it's out of sorts
Wrapped in the miserable clogged eye, miserable faults
Why would he lie and say it's all alright
Give it one more prod, see if that turns on the light
Find the dial, then one of you turn to make it smile,
Then count to ten and reset it so it smiles again
The human's pushing my patience, it's not playing ball,
Playing ball is its interest, that seems about all,
There are no details we have no technical plans,
Give it one more go and then try in Japan.
Find the dial, then one of you turn to make it smile,
Then count to ten and reset it so it smiles again...so it smiles again
It's dirty, it's scarey, it smells really bad,
Something's pointless, it's making it sad,
Why would it work, it doesn't make sense
Fill it with alcohol, break its defence.
The human's beaten us all, it's a law unto itself,
Wuthering around like a juvenile, a picture of health,
What's the difference now, from yesterday,
We it'd disect to another one, before we can say.
Find the dial, then one of you turn to make it smile,
Then count to ten and reset it so it smiles again...so it smiles again...
So it smiles again.

HEAD IN THE SAND
If you see no bad, is your head in the sand,
And if you can see no good, does it mean you misunderstood.
Finding time to worry, drives you round the bend,
Saving up for something special, trying to buzz a trend,
There's nothing worse than cloudy weather that I can see ahead,
You find the desire is mounting inside.
If you see no bad, is your head in the sand,
And if you can see no good, does it mean you misunderstood.
See this badge of honour, shaped in frown,
I'm proud of how it sits upon me, wear it like a crown,
Poking fun at all your dreaming, it makes me feel so good,
It doesn't light and I feel that it should,
Angels and devils on your shoulders, pray you're getting wise, not just older
All good, is it all bad, is it all good, is it all bad,
If you see no bad, is your head in the sand,
And if you can see no good, does it mean you misunderstood.
If you see no bad, is your head in the sand,
And if you can see no good, does it mean you misunderstood.

HALFWAY HOUSE
Semi-detached, so when we say all the things that we shouldn't evenly matched,
You want to shoot between the lines, is it time are you leaving,
Staunch the flow, stop the bleeding, and then you learn to stand alone,
A different smile on the same face, moving out to the new place...to halfway house.
Semi-detached, neither one place nor the other,
A brand new door on the latch but you still need a blessing from me,
I couldn't sleep, time was stealing,
Simple blow and now I'm reeling, and then you learn to stand alone.
A different smile on the same face, moving out to the new place...to halfway house.
Feel yourself as light as air, rise above the mess down there,
Look above you don't look down, find the place without a sound,
Semi-detached now you can see the things that you couldn't,
Now you're evenly matched, you won't see a need for me.
A different smile on the same face, moving out to the new place
A different smile on the same face, moving out to the new place...to halfway house
