      Try this...

      Innocence and lies don't make a perfect match
      Leave your door unlatched
      I know a word can be untrue
      And yet still move you

      All the time they bring their friends 'round
      Dress you up, show you up
      And all the time they told you it was true
      Well I'll believe you now
      Eeyore was very glad to be able to stop thinking for a little, in order to say "How do you do" in a gloomy manner to Pooh.
      "And how are you?" said Winnie-the-Pooh.
      Eeyore shook his head from side to side. "Not very how," he said. "I don't seem to felt at all how for a long time."

            Nah, it's literally years (15?) since I last listened to that album, I'm not going to get it.

            The vegetarian option.

              Massive clue time then.

              More lyrics, with the title blanked out:

              Warning lights are flashing down at quality control
              Somebody threw a spanner and they threw him in the hole
              Theres rumors in the loading bay and anger in the town
              Somebody blew the whistle and the walls came down
              Theres a meeting in the boardroom theyre trying to trace the smell
              Theres leaking in the washroom theres a sneak in personnel
              Somewhere in the corridors someone was heard to sneeze
              goodness me could this be _______ _______?

                Something "Disease" I think, but without cheating I can't guess it. Thanks for the clue though.

                    The caretaker was crucified for sleeping at his post
                    They're refusing to be pacified its him they blame the most
                    The watchdogs got rabies the foreman's got fleas
                    And everyone's concerned about ___________ disease
                    There's panic on the switchboard tongues are tied in knots
                    Some come out in sympathy some come out in spots
                    Some blame the management some the employees
                    And everybody knows its the ___________ disease

                    The work force is disgusted downs tools walks
                    Innocence is injured experience just talks
                    Everyone seeks damages and everyone agrees
                    That these are classic symptoms of a monetary squeeze
                    On ITV and BBC they talk about the curse
                    Philosophy is useless theology is worse
                    History boils over there's an economics freeze
                    Sociologists invent words that mean ___________ disease

                    Doctor Parkinson declared I'm not surprised to see you here

                    But worst of all young man you've got ___________ disease
                    He wrote me a prescription he said you are depressed
                    But I'm glad you came to see me to get this off your chest
                    Come back and see me later - next patient please
                    Send in another victim of ___________ disease

                    I go down to speakers corner I'm thunderstruck
                    They got free speech, tourists, police in trucks
                    Two men say they're Jesus one of them must be wrong
                    There's a protest singer singing a protest song - he says
                    they wanna have a war to keep us on our knees
                    They wanna have a war to keep their factories
                    They wanna have a war to stop us buying Japanese
                    They wanna have a war to stop ___________ disease
                    They're pointing out the enemy to keep you deaf and blind
                    They wanna sap your energy incarcerate your mind
                    They give you rule Brittania, gassy beer, page three
                    Two weeks in Espana and Sunday striptease
                    Meanwhile the first Jesus says Id cure it soon
                    Abolish Monday mornings and Friday afternoons
                    The other ones on a hunger strike he's dying by degrees
                    How come Jesus gets ___________ disease
