This is for every life story, every detail Ex-dotcom millionaires with shitty jobs in retail Every ingrown toenail, pile of junk mail Drivin' test drive fail, vain search for the Holy Grail Every move you make, every breath you take Every twelve inch record your dumped girlfriend decided to break And all the under achievin' geezers getting more lean and peezer On melon Bacardi Breezers and skinny plastic cached reefers And every impotent porn star And the girls with the red lights on, doin' tricks for Mars bars And all the ravers wishin' they were back in '89 'Cause everythin' was so much better the first time Jack, jack, jack, jack your body And all the bastards lookin' for change in the station Every money grabbin' musical collaboration And every last member of the X generation Addicted to the Internet drugs and masturbation Forget me, this is all about you Forget us, this is all about you Forget we, this is all about you We're just the siphon, the sounds come through Forget me, this is all about you Forget us, this is all about you Forget me, this is all about you We're just the siphon, the sounds come through This is for every life story, every chapter Every memory stored and photograph captured 'Cause even the most mundane things Can shine forth like a beacon Make your palms sweaty and knees weaken Well, there is an awful lot of false gods speakin' We're scratchin' in the dark for somethin' true to believe in Just keep breathin' and hope that in the long run That's a real hand you're tightly squeezin' This is for everybody who got cussed down in the playground And every bad boy who shitted when his mates weren't around And all the bedroom DJ's perfecting their skills And every girl with a complex and a handful of slimming pills Forget me, this is all about you Forget us, this is all about you Forget we, this is all about you We're just the siphon, the sounds come through Forget me, this is all about you Forget us, this is all about you Forget we, this is all about you We're just the siphon, the sounds come through All about you, all about you, all about you This is for every life story Every intertwined tale of guts and glory 'Course some of them are nice and bright and corny And some of them will shake your hand less warmly Outlook still stormy Every sweepin' saga from the here now to the hereafter Tall tales around the campfire, tragedies of fallen empire And everythin' that will and won't transpire Sometimes it's just too diabolical Carryin' our stories like DNA in hair follicles Luggin' chronicles like baggage handlers I'm not stickin' around, I'm shippin' out with the ramblers Collectin' chapters of fractures and raptures High on a cactus with a bunch of backpackers Toastin' backwards with a shot of Cachacas But that's another story and I'll tell it if you let me But in the meantime just remember to forget me Forget me, this is all about you Forget us, this is all about you Forget we, this is all about you We're just the siphon, the sounds come through Forget me, this is all about you Forget us, this is all about you Forget we, this is all about you We're just the siphon, the sounds come through All about you, all about you All about you, sounds come through All about you, all about you All about you, sounds come through
