We made you the leader
'Cause you spoke of a better place
We gave you our home
But you only gave us disgrace

You skimped on the girders
You don't see the need of 'em
You took out the doors
'Cause they keep the money in

And you call yourself the architect
But all you left is rubble on the ground

You knocked out the windows
'Cause it costs you to clean 'em
Then brought down the walls
In the name of our freedom

You pulled out the plumbing
Said it's not really worth it
But the internet's there
'Cause we've still got to surf it

And you call yourself the architect
But all you left is rubble on the ground

Someday you'll need a house of your own
Someday you'll look around and it's gone
Someday you'll figure out you were wrong

'Cause there's always a right and wrong

Someday you'll need a house of your own
Someday you'll look around and it's gone
Someday you'll figure out you were wrong
Someday you'll see you lead us all on
Someday you'll need a house and it's gone
Someday you'll figure out you were wrong

'Cause there's always a right and wrong

The Architect

Man she was so hot - I almost popped my tool
I was careful - not to break no rules.

All the treason and the reasons, they were all to break her loose
All the scheming and the pleading, till she fell for my old ruse.

Chorus
I am the architect, the architect of her fall
I am the architect, the architect of it all.

If you're lonely - it's easy to take you down
I gave her no chance - not to wait around.

All the nailings and the tailings, entertainment for a star.
If you want me you better beg me, or i'll ignore your every call.

Chorus

Bridge (round)
What happens when all the taking
belongs to someone who's always rough?
Look back in a while the giving
is something that's seen as never enough.

She was denying me - when I thought I had control
I couldn't understand - why she'd grown so cold.

No one had done to me what she'd done to me
and I asked and asked her why?
All I got from her was a subtle smile
like a tiger crouched to strike.

Chorus
She was the architect, the architect of my fall.
She is the architect, the architect of my fall.

I love hardcore pornography and roundabouts
I love hardcore pornography and fireworks
From Mount Ainsley to the Brindabellas
Through Camp Hill to Kurrajong
I love Walter Burley Griffin and Canberra
Come sing my song
While we go round and around and around next exit for the War Memorial
We go round and around and around and around past Parliament House and the Questacon

Hardcore pornography, prostitutes and fireworks
Galleries and roundabouts, Parliament and porn

I love public servants and architects
And roundabouts meticulously laid out by architects
they go round and around and around
It's a funky town, it;s a groovy town
It's a fun, fun, fun, fun, fun
Functional town
I love Canberra

Architect - Frankie Big Face

I've set out on the high road
I'm traveling in a straight line
I'm aiming for the promised land
I'm living in the sunshine
I'm not talking 'bout a life beyond
I'm talking 'bout the here and now
I'm got a map and a blueprint to get me there
And if you want, I can show you how

If you want to feel the love of a woman
You got to give her what she's looking for
Flowers on her birthday are nice my friend
But she needs just a little bit more!

CHORUS:
If you architect a plan of mutual respect
You can build a house of love
If you engineer a machine that's fueled by fear
You may find yourself alone

I've stood on the mountain
I've knelt in the valley
I've sunk to the deepest depths
But I'm ready for a rally
I haven't been a perfect man
But the secret's been revealed to me
So gather round and listen to this cautionary tale
And your path will be easy to see

If you want to know the love of a woman
You got to give her everything she needs
Do you really need Aretha to spell it out
Just listen to me brother, please!

CHORUS

Hey brother, are you sleeping?
Hey brother, are you sleeping?
Hey brother, are you sleeping?
Well you better wake up right now!

CHORUS

[Manhattan Glutton]

he plans the world inside his mind
shaping it into what he sees

he looks up to the stars at night
telling them where they ought to be

he tosses all his previous plans
starting again with different needs

he works at midnight

BUILDING COMMENCED

nobody's perfect and nothing is flawless
he stays diligent until he find's the right balance

and back to the start, he'll try something new
he sticks with the project until the day that it's due

[Rabid Garfunkel]

"Architect"
-Rabid Garfunkel

We were building the Tower of Babel
To learn the language of love
When it all comes crashing down
Our heads are still above

In the stars, in the dream
The architect of my uplift
There's no Tower tarot
Only a lover's gift

A gift of time and place with
Love and care and friends
And allies wearing on their heads
Some seriously silly hair

Architect
By The Boffo Yux Dudes

An architect by trade I am
But love is in my master plan
I'm obsessed by geometric forms
But I have no one to keep me warm

I’ll sing to you of I.M.Pei
And, no, that doesn’t make me gay
We’ll build a love of wood and bricks
And I’ll show you my erection kit

Like steel towers scraping sky
Your beauty’s pleasing to my eyes
I’ll build you up and bring you thrills
Torque you with my pneumatic drill

Your eyes are gray slate like a roof
Your tongue’s a brick that chipped my tooth
Your face contains an inner glow
Ornamented just like Art Deco

Your passion brings out inner fire
And pierces me with gothic spire
Your clothes, your hair, your hat, your blouse
Reminds me of Sydney's Opera House

Like steel towers scraping sky
Your beauty’s pleasing to my eyes
I’ll build you up and I'll bring you thrills
And Torque you with my pneumatic drill

You see my passion’s really true
The things I love I see in you
You’re so sturdy - your lines so straight
Hedges neatly trimmed around your gate

I’m knocking here upon your door
Please say you’ll love me forevermore
Just let me enter - sing my song
I’ll lay your foundation all night long

Like steel towers scraping sky
Your beauty’s pleasing to my eyes
I’ll build you up and bring you thrills
And Torque you with my pneumatic drill

Like steel towers scraping sky
Your beauty’s pleasing to my eyes
I’ll build you up and bring you thrills
And Torque you with my pneumatic drill

This blueprint of yours
Has well-designed floors
But something's not right with it's ceiling

You're not very skilled
And things that you build
Make it feel like you're tempting fate

It's not a good design at all
There's professionals that we should call
Things are different than they were in days of yore

The problems with this house you're making
And everything you do is taking
Our sweet life and turning it sour

With framing and roof truss
Collapsing around us
It's risking our safety to stay
Our lives are in danger so you can't continue this way

A Tribute to the Winchester Mystery House*
http://www.winchestermysteryhouse.com

Well she came out west with her gold and guilt
Haunted by the spirits of the people her husband's gun had killed
Well he won the west and she lost her mind
So she built a house to keep all of her ghosts confined

Some stairs go up, and some stairs go down
And some just stop at the ceiling, and some can't be found
Some walls have doors that don't go nowhere
Seven floors - how the hell do you get up there

And Mrs. Winchester, what were you thinking?
A stairway is s'posed to go somewhere
And a window is s'posed to look somewhere
But this house just goes round and round and round
Round and round and round

I guess it goes to show what pain can do
What kinda house would you have built if this had happened to you
Your wallet lined with the wealth of death
Our family gone and a haunted feeling is all you have left

And Mrs. Winchester, what were you thinking?
A stairway is s'posed to go somewhere
And a window is s'posed to look somewhere
But this house just goes round and round and round
Round and round and round


* The Winchester Mystery House, a well-known California tourist destination, was the mansion of the widow of the man who invented the Winchester Repeating rifle, "The gun that won the west." Apparently her guilt made her believe bizarre things about the spiritis of the dead and she was compelled to build endlessly onto the house, resulting a lot of bizzare features such as those described in the song.

Someone made it all fall down
Crash and burn into the ground
Only you will hear the sound
The screams inside your head abound

They didn't know how complicated
Missing pieces holes in the foundation
The architect was sleeping
When what you thought you had
Was hardly completed

They didn't know

Things went wrong from the beginning
You built your dreams too fast
Too bad the architect was sleeping
He would know the parts
The parts that were missing

Someone made it all fall down
Crash and burn into the ground
Only you will hear the sound
The screams inside your head abound

She had long drawn out plans for perfection
But each passing day
Brought them closer to destruction
The architect was nowhere to be found
'Cause we need someone to blame
When your life is crashing down

Someone made it all fall down
Crash and burn into the ground
Only you will hear the sound
The screams inside your head abound

you work all day to get paid
you put your money away
yeah you save

you pay your rent, but you can't
live the way that you want
so you save

waiting for the day
you find a piece of land
then with the deed in hand
you’ll be ready
for the architect

for the house of your dreams
he draws up the plans
then you build

but there's something in his eyes
a sadness he can't hide
when you build

he sees it every day
on every piece of land
washed away like sand
it isn’t special
for the architect

round:
lay the foundation
bring up the walls
put on the roof
bring it all down

i am an architect
and my heart’s made of steel
i am an architect
my drive is all that i feel

you will build what i say
until i tell you to stop

i will make a change
no matter what the cost
i will make a change
i don’t care what is lost

you will build what i say
and it will never be done

it’s ok cause i smile
whenever i use you
it’s ok cause i smile
when i abuse you

i am an architect
and i build only for me
i am an architect
and i build only for me

Worldly Self Assurance_ Architect

intro
Steele and glass with concrete skin
Knock them down to start again
build it up to kick it down
rearrange and move around

verse1
you remember what was here
cant bring your mental state back
to reality, your facing
mortality

standing structures, reaching through the clouds
they cant, be bothered to recall
what they meant to you

so mighty then but now
is just a fading
daydream memory

chorus1
he draws the lines
creates the spaces
in his dreams
of future places

verse2
weapons of creation
demolition and domination
raise the buildings higher
just to burn them in the fire

best laid plans by medicine
and architechture
cant withstand the tremors here
or an angry atmosphere.

chorus2
he draws the lines
creates the spaces
in his dreams
of future places
you don't see the light
even though it's burning bright

bridge
Steele and glass with concrete skin
Knock them down to start again
build it up to kick it down
rearrange and move around

chorus3
he draws the lines
creates the spaces
in his dreams
of future places
you don't see the light
even though it's burning bright

I had a dream that you were a building, and I lived inside of you
We were always busy re arranging, we always had so much work to do
But then on the weekend, it's time to relax
You are the architect of my desire
Breakfast in bed, reruns of MASH
You are the architect of my desire

I had a dream that we built a hotel, we rented rooms to all our friends
State of the art with every convenience, designed to be the very best
Shots at the sports bar, and swim in the pool
You are the architect of my desire
Free shower caps and basic cable too
You are the architect of my desire

I had a dream our love was a toll road stretching out across the state
Cutting down on air pollution, all the commuters would celebrate
They gave us a trophy for being nice
You are the architect of my desire
Convenient traveling at a reasonable price
You are the architect of my desire

Oh, the sky is bright and clear
You family's all here
It makes me proud to see you in your gown and mortarboard
When the ceremony's through
We'll have a barbecue
Before we ship you off to California

(You see)

[chorus]
Johnny is a janitor, and Billy drives a cab
But you could be a doctor or an architect
It's far too late for most of us, but you can live your dream
As long as we're not there to hold you back

With so many mouths to feed
We don't have what we need
It's been a burden ever since the factory shut down
So it's tough to be apart
But we understand how hard
It would be for you to follow your ambition in this town
