A very cool, predominantly keyboard and drums song. Thom's voice is extremely high pitched for this track's vocals, as he sings
yet more randomly plucked from hat lyrics. Towards the middle of the song, guitar fizzles in and then all kinds of howling wind
and distortion effects come in as Thom's singing turns to moaning and groaning. It all reaches a fast paced climax at the end of the
song. |

Morning bell Morning bell Light another candle and Release me Release me You can keep the furniture A bump on the head Howling down the chimney Release me Release me Please Release me Release me Where'd you park the car? Where'd you park the car? Clothes are on the lawn with the furniture Now I might as well I might as well Sleepy jack the fire drill Round and round and round and round and round and round and round And round Cut the kids in half Cut the kids in half Cut the kids in half I wanted to tell you but you never listened You never understand I wanted to tell you but you never listened You never understand Cos I'm walking walking walking... The lights are on but nobody's home Everybody wants to be a The lights are on but nobody's home Everybody wants to be a slave Walking walking walking... The lights are on but nobody's at home Everybody wants to be a Everyone wants to be a friend Nobody wants to be a slave Walking walking walking... |

"It's very, very violent. Extremely violent. The really weird thing about that was I wrote the song with all the words
pretty much straight away, which is basically the only one I did that with. I recorded it onto MiniDisc and
then there was a lightning storm, and it wiped the MiniDisc and I lost the song. I completely forgot it. Then five
months later, I was on a plane, knackered for 24 hours, I was just falling asleep, and I remembered it.
It was really weird, I never had that before. It's gone in and took a long time to come out again. The
lyrics are really... they're not as dramatic as they sound, you know? Except "Cut the kids in half",
which is dramatic no matter which way you read it." - Thom
