( With Kristeen Young )

I saw your mom the other day.
She says you’re wrong in every way.
Her little words sick like the flu.
I see the things they do to you.

She better cut it out.
You better cut her out.
You better cut her off.
You’ll have no other god before me.

I saw you with your friends last night,
shooting shit by Bud’s early Light.
You’ve got so much life inside you.
but they drag you down ’til you can’t move.

They better cut it out.
You better cut them out.
You better cut them off.
You’ll have no other god before me.

All you need, all you need, all you need is me.
Lucky you, lucky you, lucky you.you found me.
Whadja do? Whadja see? Whadja feel before me?
And my love is so, oh, oh, you’ll wanna kill your friends.

I’ve seen you labour for your dreams.
Then, comatose when they’re unseen.
And sometimes God is silent, too.
but God can’t fill you like I do.

He better cut it out.
You better cut Him out.
You better cut Him off.
You’ll have no other God before me.
You’ll have no other God before me.
You’ll have no other God before me.

Outta My Head

( Trash Palace ft. Brian Molko (live) / Kylie Minogue cover )

La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la,
La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la.

I just can’t get you out of my head, boy your lovin is all I think about,
I just can’t get you out of my head, boy, your arse is all I think about

La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la.

I just can’t get you out of my head, boy, your lovin is all I think about,
I just can’t get you out of my head, boy, your dick is all I think about

Every night, every day, just to be there in your arms.
Won’t you stay? Won’t you say……fuck!

La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la,
La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la.
I just can’t get you out of my head, boy, your lovin is all I think about,
I just can’t get you out of my head, boy, your cock is all I think about

La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la,
La la la, la la la-la la, la la la, la la la-la la.
I just can’t get you outta my head (la la la…),
I just can’t get you outta my head (la la la…),
I just can’t get you outta my head (la la la…).

*** Thanx a lot to Geertje for this one ***

Pink Water III

( Indochine Featuring Brian Molko )

( English Version )

Sky… I’m gonna leave tonight
You know, I’ve got a life to live
And it’s getting late
So I’m gonna leave tonight
I can’t decide if I’m the one you need or what you want out of life
I always thought you’d be the one to leave, the one to change your mind

I’m on a rocket to a dying star,
You have to stay behind
Can’t take you with me cause it’s very far
And you don’t have the time
(Get me out of this place
Get me out of this place
Get me out of this place)

Sky… I’m gonna leave tonight
You know, I’ve got a life to live
And it’s getting late
I can’t decide if I’m the one you need or what you want out of life
I always thought you’d be the one to leave, the one to change your mind

I’m on a rocket to a dying star,
You have to stay behind
Before I met you I was crashing cars,
And I was doing fine
Get me out of this place,
Get me out of this town,
Before I drown in your deep pink water
Won’t remember your face,
Can’t remember your frown,
Because I’ll drown in your deep pink water

Ten…Nine…Eight…Seven…Six…Five…Four…Three…Two…One

Sky… I’m gonna leave tonight
You know, I’ve got a life to live
And it’s getting late
I’m on a rocket to a dying star,
You have to stay behind
Can’t take you with me cause it’s very far,
And you don’t have the time
I’m on a rocket to a dying star
You have to stay behind
Before I met you I was crashing cars,
And I was doing fine

Get me out of this place,
Get me out of this town
Before I drown in your deep pink water
I won’t remember your face
I can’t remember your frown
Because I’ll drown in your deep pink water

Get me out of this place,
Get me out of this town
Before I drown in your deep pink water
I won’t remember your face
I can’t remember your frown
Because I’ll drown in your deep pink water

( French Version )

Je pars, je ne reviendrai jamais
Bientôt le monde m’aura oublié tu sais…
Que j’aille…
Tu vois…

Je recherche un endroit pour me cacher
Et pour me fâner en paix
Ne jamais les croire
Quand ils t’en parleront
Si tu pouvais me voir…

Je partirai et je resterai
Seulement vêtue de toi
Souviens-toi encore
Quelques fois de moi…
Et ne leur pardonne pas

Get me out of this place
Get me out of this place
Get me out of this… place

Je pars je ne reviendrai jamais
Des roses
De l’eau de rose sur moi…
Deux filles dans un jardin
Un jardin étrange
Mais retiens-moi par la main
Et si demain
Tu ne me rejoins pas
Alors continue sans moi

Je partirai et je garderai que des restes de toi
Souviens-toi encore
Quelques fois de moi…
Mais ne leur pardonne pas

Get me out of this place, get me out of this town
Before I drown in your deep pink pink water
Won´t remember you face, can´t remember you frown
Because I´ll drown in your deep pink water

Ten, nine, eight, seven, six, five, four, three, two, one

Je pars, je ne reviendrai jamais
Bientôt le monde m’aura oublié tu sais…

Je partirai et je resterai
Seulement vêtue de toi
Souviens-toi encore
Quelques fois de moi…
Et ne leur pardonne pas

Get me out of this place, get me out of this town
Before I drown in your deep pink pink water
Won´t remember you face, can´t remember your frown
Because I´ll drown in your deep pink water
Get me out of this place, get me out of this town
Won´t remember your face, can´t remember your frown
Because I´ll drown in your deep pink water

Plaisir d’amour

( Live / Jean-Pierre Claris poem )

Plaisir d’amour ne dure qu’un instant
Chagrin d’amour dure toute la vie…

Requiem For A Jerk

( Gainsbourg - Brian Molko on Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited LP )

Listen to the organ that I play for you
Since you got no choice, hear me through
You look as if you like it, but you seem reserved
It’s my requiem for a jerk

I wrote it in the bath on my breakfast tray
Cut my appetite for the day
I tried to raise a toast, ate this second verse
Buttered requiem for a jerk
It’s an afternoon for mourners, but the tears don’t come
Got what you deserved, the maximum

Well I’m getting sentimental but it’s too much work
What’s a requiem, to a jerk

Well the devil left a message
“Go try paradise
Hell’s a lot too hot
Not too nice
Try to take on god
If you’ve got the nerve
Even I don’t need
Stupid jerks”

Listen to the organ that I play for you
Since you got no choice, hear me through
You look as if you like it in your woolen shirt
It’s my requiem for a jerk

I wrote it in the bath on my breakfast tray
Cut my appetite for the day
On your white-washed face
Blue steal prison wall
I’ll write stupid jerk, that’s all

Slackerbitch

It echoes in my brain
I didn’t mean it
Pulses through my vein
I didn’t mean it
I’m the one to blame
I didn’t mean it
Did too much cocaine
I didn’t mean it

Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Always comes back for more

Your memory will fade
I didn’t mean it
You’ve always had it made
I didn’t mean it
I know you feel betrayed
I didn’t mean it
I just wanted to get layed
I didn’t mean it

Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Always knocking on my door

You come across impure
I didn’t mean it
God damn imature
I didn’t mean it
You act so insecure
I didn’t mean it
You hate me now, i’m sure
I didn’t mean it

Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Dripping sex from every pore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Looks real cute, her lips are sore
Slackerbitch, fag hag whore
Such a mother fucking bore

Smile

( Duet with Jane Birkin )

Brian Molko :
Don’t stare at your face with your nose out of place
At the wrinkles where zits used to be
And remember that smiling uses less muscles
And frowning just makes you look ugly

Brian Molko & Jane Birkin :
So smile, smile
And the whole world will smile with you
So smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue

Jane Birkin :
Don’t mess with your man when he’s selling you grams
He would kill you for less and then smile
And don’t curse at a whore as you open the door
Cos’ your service wont be with a smile

So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
And smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue

Brian Molko :
Don’t sneer at your doctor or Gamble and proctor
Cos’ they’re just pawns in the game

Jane Birkin :
The perfect prescription is one that you’re given
It’s filled out in Jesus’ name

Brian Molko :
Don’t be scared of your preacher cos’ hes just a leech
He’s too busy cruising your ass

Jane Birkin :
There’s a verse in the Bible
That says we’re all liable
For everything that comes to pass

Brian Molko & Jane Birkin :
So smile, smile
And the whole world smiles with you
So smile, Baby, smile
If the whole world just had a clue
So smile, smile
Smile, smile
Smile, smile

Some

( Dream city film Club feat. Brian Molko )

Some like to dream
Some like to live
Some like to take
Some like to give
Some take enough
Some take it all
Some will rise
And some will fall
Some like it tight
Some like it loose
Some need a reason
Some need no excuse
Some like it dirty
Some like it clean
Some like it tender
And some like it lean
Some fuck for fun
Some for prestige
Some come on their feet (and)
Some come on their knees
Some say they’re bent
Some say they’re straight
Some come early
And some come late
I’m taking some
Now I’m taking some

The metric system

( Trash Palace Feat. Brian Molko )

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

Rock boy is genital suck juice mad
His delicious apparatus would flutter and tremble after pubic worship
He would freeze it in a jar and sell it to celebrity lesbians

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they’re down with the metric system
And they never fuck around
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they’re down with the metric system
And they’re payin by the pound

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

Rock boy is genital suck juice mad
His delicious apparatus would flutter and tremble after pubic worship
He would freeze it in a jar and sell it to celebrity lesbians

Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it
Good work if you can get it

They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they’re down with the metric system
And they never fuck around
They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they’re down with the metric system
And they’re payin by the pound

They wanna buy it in kilos
They wanna buy it in grams
You know they’re down with the metric system
And they’re payin by the pound

Then the Clouds will open up for me

My guy is a tad transcontinental
But it keeps me enchained
Watch an old black and white movie
Fred and Ginger are too sentimental, crying in shame
I don’t want to be forgotten
I can’t be alone
So don’t you dare leave me
It’s like coming home
To skin that has died
Human voices like a drum
And they’re looking right through me
Scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me
My guy is a tad too ornamental
When he’s frozen in space
Cut your eye far to me
A covered carcass is too elemental, caught underneath a subway
I don’t want to be forgotten
I can’t be alone
So don’t you dare leave me
It’s like coming home
To skin that has died
Human voices like a drum
And they’re looking right through me
Scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me
One more time for me, one more time for me
One more time for me, One more time for me
One more time for me, One more time for me
Trans-likened, twisting my ankle
Doing the grave dance
Narcotic? Yes please, I’ll have a sample
Riding on my very last chance
Then the clouds will open for me
Gonna meet my Jesus Christ
I see history playing before me
For pleasure and passion you pay the price
Sadness the name of the spike that took me
I’ll make it that’s all
Like some raging, hard, horny Mephistopheles
Who came for my soul

Waiting For The Son Of Man

Patience comes to the ugly, not me
Laughter comes to the lucky, not me
People in my head that won’t stop talking
Nothing in my dream that isn’t creepy crawling

Walking in the park and i think that i’m falling
Swimming in the sea and i think i’ll
You guessed it
Only lifeguards
Only lifeguards
Packing all the time ??
Can save me

Waiting X3
For the son of man
For the son of man

Patience comes to the ugly, not me
Concentration comes to the ugly, not me
Nothing on the box that hasn’t been born
No one in the street that isn’t old

Driving in the car and i think that i’m crashing
Swimming in the Sea and i think that i’ll
You guessed it
Only lifeguards X2
Packing all the time
Can save me

Waiting X3
For the son of man
For the son of man

Protège moi

C’est le malaise du moment,
L’épidémie qui s’étend,
La fête est finie, on descend,
Les pensées qui glacent la raison.

Paupières baissées, visages gris,
Surgissent les fantômes de notre lit;
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudis qu’on appelle maison.

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi

Sommes-nous les jouets du destin
Souviens-toi des moments divins
Planant, éclatés au matin,
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls.

Perdus les rêves de s’aimer,
Le temps où on avait rien fait,
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seuls.

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me from what I want
(Protège-moi, protège-moi)
Protect me, protect me

Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi de mes désirs

Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi

Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

(Protect me) Protect me from what I want
(Protect me) Protect me from what I want
(Protect me) Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

(Protect me) Protect me from what I want
(Protect me) Protect me from what I want
(Protect me) Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me

Protège-moi, protège-moi

Twenty years

There are twenty years to go
Twenty ways to know
Who’ll wear
Who’ll wear the hat

There are twenty years to go
The best of all I hope
Enjoy the ride
The medicine show

Thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

There are twenty years to go
The faithful and the low
The best of starts, the broken heart, the stone

There are twenty years to go
The punch drunk and the blow
The worst of starts, the mercy part, the phone

And thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more than meets the eye

Thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
But it’s you I take ’cause you’re the truth not I

There are twenty years to go
A golden age I know
But all will pass will end too fast, you know

There are twenty years to go
And many friends I hope
Though some may hold the rose
Some hold the rope

That’s the end and that’s the start of it
That’s the whole and that’s the part of it
That’s the high and that’s the heart of it
That’s the long and that’s the short of it
That’s the best and that’s the test in it
That’s the doubt the doubt, the trust in it
That’s the sight and that’s the sound of it
That’s the gift and that’s the trick in it

You’re the truth not I
You’re the truth, not I
You’re the truth, not I
You’re the truth, not I

You’re the truth, not I
You’re the truth, not I
You’re the truth, not I
You’re the truth, not I

I do

I wanna be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
That drips from every pore of you
Where logic cannot intervene
I wanna take a bath with you
And wash the chaos from my skin
I wanna fall in love with you
So how do we begin ?

I wanna be a girl like you
The way you swing your hips in jeans
I wanna wear my face like you
Shiseido MAC and Maybelline
I wanna paint the town with you
And tickle you until you scream
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

I wanna be much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I’ll kick back as men flirt with you
To jealously I’ll stay immune
This confidence in me and you
This hope that you and I will bloom
I wanna fall in love with you

I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do

The question is do you ?

Kitty Litter

The way you’re dancing
Makes me come alive
Makes me shiver and perspire
Your surreptitious glancing
The way you crack a smile
You really start a fire

So move closer
I wanna feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Feels much weaker
Now we’re apart

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change

The way you’re moving
Hips from side to side
Makes you all that I desire

Bathsheba of my choosing
I’m so unsatisfied
And you’ve got what I require

So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
So come on

So move closer
I gotta feel your touch
So come over
Come on

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Feels much weaker
Now we’re apart

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Comes crashing down

I need a change of skin
I need a change
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin
I need a change, I need a change of skin

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Feels much weaker
Now we’re apart

Love of mine
This fortress in our heart
Comes crashing down

Ashtray Heart

Cenicero, cenicero
Mi Corazón de cenicero
Cenicero, cenicero
Mi Corazón de cenicero

You are the birth and you are waste
You are the one who took my place
You took a jump into forever
A leap of faith I could not take

And it was a leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero

We were alone before we met
No more forlorn than one could get
How could we know we have found treasure
How sinister and how correct

And it was a leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make
A leap of faith I could not take
A promise that I could not make

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Mi Corazón de cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Corazón cenicero

I tore the muscle from your chest
And used it to stub out cigarettes
I listened to your screams of pleasure
And I watch the bed sheets turn blood red

Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Corazón cenicero
My ashtray heart
Cenicero, cenicero
My ashtray heart
Corazón cenicero…

Battle For The Sun

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun
And I, I, I won’t stop until I’m done, done, done
You, you, you are getting in the way, way, way
And I, I, I have nothing left to say, say, say

I, I, I, I, I will brush off all the dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt, dirt
And I, I, I, I, I will pretend it didn’t hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt
And you, you, you, you, you are a black a heavy weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight, weight
And I, I, I, I, I will not participate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate, pate

Dream brother
My killer
My lover
Dream brother
My killer
My lover

I, I, I will battle for the sun, sun, sun, sun
‘Cause I, I, I have stared down the barrel of a gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, gun, no fun
You, you, you, you, you are a cheap and nasty fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake, fake
And I, I, I, I, I am the bones you couldn’t break, break, break, break, break, break, break, break

Dream brother
My killer

For What It’s Worth

The end of the century
I said my goodbyes, for what it’s worth
I always aimed to please
But I nearly died, for what it’s worth
Come on lay with me
‘Cause I’m on fire, for what it’s worth
I’d tear the sun in three
To Light up your eyes

For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth

Broke up the family
Everybody cried, for what it’s worth
I had a slow disease
That sucked me dry, for what it’s worth
Come on walk with me
Into the rising tide, for what it’s worth
Fill the cavity
Your God shaped hole tonight

For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth

For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth
For what it’s worth

No one cares when you’re out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
And no one cares when you’re down in the gutter
Got no friends, got no lover

No one cares when you’re out on the street
Picking up the pieces to make ends meet
And no one cares when you’re down in the gutter
Got no friends, got no lover

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)
For what it’s worth
(Got no lover)

Devil In The Details

I’ve been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details
I’ve got no energy to fight
He’s a fucking pal o’mine
That devil in the details
And he’s fixing up to take a bite
I don’t see the point in trying
I’ve got the devil in the details
He’s gonna teach me wrong from right
That fucking pal o’mine
That devil in the details

I’m gonna dance with him tonight
All of my wrongs
And all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me come what may
For all of the songs
I hope to write some day
Looks like the devil’s here to stay

Let me take you for a ride
With the devil in the details
We’ll kiss and tremble with delight
Everything is fine
With the devil in the details

We’re gonna dance with him tonight
All of my wrongs
And all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me come what may
For all of the songs
I hope to write some day

Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay

All of my wrongs
And all my wicked ways
Will come back to haunt me come what may
For all of the songs
I hope to write some day

Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay
Looks like the devil’s here to stay

I’ve been wasting all my time
With the devil in the details

Bright Lights

Cast your mind back to the days
When I’d pretend I was okay
I had so very much to say
About my crazy living

Now that I’ve stared into the void
So many people I’ve annoyed
I have to find a middle way
A better way of living

So I haven’t given up
But all my choices, my good luck
Appeared to go and get me stuck
In an open prison

Now I am trying to break free
Be in a state of empathy
Find the true and inner me
Eradicate the schism

No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works
A heart that hurts is a heart that works

A heart that hurts is a heart that works
No-one can take it away from me
And no-one can tear it apart
It may be elaborate fantasy
But it’s the perfect place to start

Because a heart that hurts is a heart that works
A heart that hurts is a heart that works

Speak In Tongues

Kitty came back home from on the island
But Kitty came on home without a name
She and me’s a history of violence
But I long and burn to touch her just the same

So we both can speak in tongues
So we both can speak in tongues

Every single sense in me is heightened
There’s nothing left inside to rearrange
And like a slave to history and science
I long, I burn to touch you just the same

So we both can speak in tongues
So we both can speak in tongues

Until the universe is done
And the course of time is run
So we both can speak in tongues

Don’t let them have their way
Don’t let them have their way
You’re beautiful and so blasé
So please don’t let them have their way

Don’t fall back into the decay
There is no law we must obey
Please don’t let them have their way
Don’t give in to yesterday

We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today
We can build a new tomorrow, today

Today

The Never-Ending Why

The atom will implode
The fragile kingdom fold
The tremor becomes a quake
And there’s a body in the lake

And as the two of us rebel
And damn you all to Hell
I wonder, is this all there is

Time will help you through
But it doesn’t have the time
To give you all the answers
To the never-ending why

As the sound of silence grows
As the spiders kiss is laid
The tumour becomes malign
But the kids are doing fine

And as the two of us rebel
And damn you all to Hell
I wonder, is this all there is

Time will help you through
But it doesn’t have the time
To give you all the answers
To the never-ending why

Time will help you through
But it doesn’t have the time
To give you all the answers
To the never-ending why…

Julien

The payback is here
Take a look, it’s all around you
You thought you’d never shed a tear
So this must astound
And must confound you

Buy a ticket for the train
Hide in a suitcase if you have to
This ain’t no singing in the rain
This is a twister that would destroy you

You can run but you can’t hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you’re a slow motion suicide

Fallen angels in the night
And everyone is barred from Heaven
Just one more hit to make it right
But everyone turns into seven

Now that it’s snowing in your brain
Another ten will not placate you
This ain’t no killer for the pain
This avalanche will suffocate you

You can run but you can’t hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend on whom you can rely
Julien, you’re being taken for a ride

You can run but you can’t hide
Because no one here gets out alive
Find a friend in whom you can confide
Julien, you’re a slow motion suicide

Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide

Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide, slow-motion suicide
Slow-motion suicide

Happy You’re Gone

Breathe me
Every time you close your eyes
Taste me
Every time you cry

This memory
Will fade away and die
Just for today
Breathe me and say goodbye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
Now I can’t look you in the eye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye

See me
In the eyes of another’s child
Turn away
When you see me walking by, once in a while

This malady
Will fade away and die
Just for today
Breathe me and say goodbye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
Now I can’t look you in the eye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
I don’t even want to try

My my
My my
‘Cause every word from you is a lie
My my
My my my my my

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye
Now I can’t look you in the eye

How many times
How many times
Now I can’t look you in the eye

Breathe Underwater

Here comes another fall from grace
I’m always falling on my face
This attitude that I embrace
For the love I’m trying to replace
I try to kill the song
‘Cause the melody’s all wrong
And there’s a fever coming on

It’s hard to reconcile
What I’ve become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater
I’m coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I’m coming up for air
‘Cause I’ve been floating here too long

Take my ego for a ride
‘Cause there’s nobody by my side
It’s getting hard to justify
And it won’t be long ‘til I collide
My weakness is laid bare
As people stop and stare
But it’s the last time I swear

It’s hard to reconcile
What I’ve become
With the wounded child
Hiding deep inside

Breathe underwater
I’m coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I’m coming up for air
‘Cause I’ve been floating here too long

Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing
Start breathing

Breathe underwater
I’m coming up for air
I wanna see another dawn
Coming up for air
Sick of the slaughter
I’m coming up for air
‘Cause I’ve been floating here too long

I’m coming
I’m coming
I’m coming, coming up for air
Coming up for air
Coming up for air

Come Undone

You don’t know how you’re coming across
You don’t know what you’re coming across
You don’t know who you’re coming across
You don’t know how you’re coming across
So you come undone

You don’t know how you’re coming across
Acting like you don’t give a toss
Walking around like you’re on some kind of cross
And it’s a shame on you the irony’s lost
When you come undone
You come undone
You know, you come undone
You know, you know, you know

You don’t know how you’re coming across
You don’t know how you’re coming across
And I don’t think you’re aware of the cost

So you come undone
You come
You come undone
You know, you know, you know

Kings Of Medicine

They’re picking up pieces of me
While they’re picking up pieces of you
In a bag you will be before the day is over

Were you looking for somewhere to be
Or looking for someone to do
Stupid me to believe that I could trust in stupid you

And on the back of my hand
Were directions I could understand
Now that old buzzard Johnny Walker
Has gone and ruined all our plans
Our best made plans

Don’t leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don’t leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I

I wouldn’t know where to begin
I asked the kings of medicine

They’re picking up pieces of me
While they’re picking up pieces of you
Lying on ice you will be before the day is over

It’s a case in point baby
That you never thought it through
Stupid me to believe I could depend on stupid you

And on the tip of my tongue
Were words that always came out wrong
‘Cause they were drowned in Southern Comfort
And left to dry out in the sun
The noonday sun

Don’t leave me here to pass through time
Without a map or road sign
Don’t leave me here, my guiding light, ‘cause I

I wouldn’t know where to begin
I asked the kings of medicine

But it seems they’ve lost their powers
Now all I’m left with is the hours

Don’t leave me here
Don’t leave me here, oh no
I wouldn’t know where to begin..

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget
What happened to us, what happened to me
What happened as I let it slip
I was confused by the powers that be
Forgetting names and faces
Passers by were looking at me
As if they could erase it

Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds

I was alone, staring over the ledge
Trying my best not to forget
All manner of joy, all manner of glee
And our one heroic pledge
How it mattered to us, How would it mattered to me
And the consequences
I was confused by the birds and the bees
Forgetting if I meant it

Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds

And the sex, the drugs, and the complications
And the sex, the drugs, and the complications
And the sex, the drugs, and the complications
And the sex, the drugs, and the complications

Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds
Baby, did you forget to take your meds

I was alone, falling free
Trying my best not to forget

Infra-red

One last thing before I shuffle off the planet
I will be the one to make you crawl
So I came down to wish you an unhappy birthday
Someone call the ambulance
There’s gonna be an accident

I’m coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I’m coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you

One more thing before we start the final face-off
I will be the one to watch you fall
So I came down to crash and burn your beggar’s banquet
Someone call the ambulance
There’s gonna be an accident

I’m coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I’m coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you (I will find you)

[distorted singing]

Someone call the ambulance
There’s gonna be an accident

I’m coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I’m coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you
Cause I can see in the dark
I’m coming up on infra-red
There is no running that can hide you
Cause I can see in the dark
I’m coming up on infra-red
Forget your running
I will find you
I’ll find you
I’ll find you

Drag

You’re always ahead of the game
I drag behind
You never get caught in the rain
When I’m drenched to the bone every time
You’re the first one to swim cross the Seine
I lag behind
You’re always ahead of the game
While I drag behind

I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind
I drag behind

You’re always ahead of the pack
I drag behind
You possess every trait that I lack
By coincidence or by design
You’re the monkey I got on my back
That tells me to shine
You’re always ahead of the pack
While I drag behind

I drag behind (x 8 )

You’re always ahead of the rest
When I’m always on time
You got A’s on your algebra tests
I failed and they kept me behind
I just gotta get off my chest
That I think you’re divine
You’re always ahead of the rest
While I drag behind

I drag behind (x 8 )

Space monkey

Space monkey in the place to be
Riding in a rocket to a planet of sound
Shooting the moon, playing dominoes in drag
An increase in population of a hundred percent

Space monkey in the place to be
With a chemical peel and a picture of Mary
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

We’re sown together
She’s born mesmer
Beside astride her
I die inside her

Space monkey in the place to be
A mass of contradictions in a golden frame
Raising the roof in a calamity way
Completely meretricious of a poke in the eye

Space monkey in the place to be
Talk of the town with a Colombian rock
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

We’re sown together
She’s born mesmer
Beside astride her
I die inside her
It’s far too sacred
Don’t ever fake it
And don’t, and don’t, and don’t let me down

Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before

Space monkey in the place to be
With some free-association and a hole in her head
Out on a limb in the carnival of me
Raising the temperature one hundred degrees

We’re sown together
She’s born mesmer
Beside astride her
I die inside her
It’s far too sacred
Don’t ever fake it
And don’t, and don’t, and don’t let me down

Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before
Like you let me down before

Follow the cops back home

The call to arms was never true,
Time to imbibe, here’s to you,
I’ll tell you stories bruised and blue,
Of drum machines and landslides.

Just one more round before we’re through,
More psychedelic yuppie flu,
It’s such a silly thing to do,
And now we’re stuck on rewind..

Let’s follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let’s follow the cops back home,
And rob their houses.

The call to arms was never true,
Let’s take a ride and push it through,
Suspended animation glue,
Blame it on apartheid,

Let’s spend the night in Jimmy Choo’s,
I’ll give you coats and cheap shampoo,
I’ll give you nothing else to do,
And now we’re stuck on rewind

Let’s follow the cops back home,
Follow the cops back home,
Let’s follow the cops back home,
And Rob their houses

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

The call to arms was never true,
I’m medicated, how are you?
Let’s take a dive swim right through,
Sophisticated points of view

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
And Rob their houses

Let’s follow the cops back home
Follow the cops back home
Let’s follow the cops back home
And rob their houses

Post blue

It’s in the water baby
It’s in the pills that bring you down
It’s in the water baby
It’s in your bag of golden brown
It’s in the water baby
It’s in your frequency
It’s in the water baby
It’s between you and me

It’s in the water baby
It’s in the pills that pick you up
It’s in the water baby
It’s in the special way we fuck
It’s in the water baby
It’s in your family tree
It’s in the water baby
It’s between you and me

Bite the hand that feeds
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

It’s in the water baby
It’s in the pills that bring you down
It’s in the water baby
It’s in your bag of golden brown
It’s in the water baby
It’s in your frequency
It’s in the water baby
It’s between you and me

Bite the hand that feeds
Tap the vein that bleeds
Down on my bended knees

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

I break the back of love for you
I break the back of love for you

Because I Want You

Fall into you, is all I seem to do
When I hit the bottle
‘Cause I’m afraid to be alone

Tear us in two, is all it seems to do
As the anger fades
This house is no longer a home

Don’t give up on the dream,
Don’t give up on the wanting
And everything that’s true
Don’t give up on the dream,
Don’t give up on the wanting

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Stumble into you, is all I ever do
My memory’s hazy
And I’m afraid to be alone

Tear us in two, is all it’s gonna do
As the headache fades
This house is no longer a home

Don’t give up on the dream,
Don’t give up on the wanting
And everything that’s true
Don’t give up on the dream,
Don’t give up on the wanting

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Fall into you is all I ever do!
When I hit the bottle
‘Cause I’m afraid to be alone

Tear us in two
Tear us in two
Tear us in two

Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you
Because I want you too
Because I want you too
Because I want you
Because I want you

Blind

If I could tear you from the ceiling
And guarantee a source divine
Rid you of possessions fleeting
Remain your funny valentine

Don’t go and leave me
And please don’t drive me blind
Don’t go and leave me
And please don’t drive me blind

If I could tear you from the ceiling
I know best have tried
I’d fill your every breath with meaning
And find a place we both could hide

Don’t go and leave me
And please don’t drive me blind
Don’t go and leave me
And please don’t drive me blind
You don’t believe me
But you do this every time
Please don’t drive me blind
Please don’t drive me blind

I know you’re broken
I know you’re broken
I know you’re broken

If I could tear you from the ceiling
I’d freeze us both in time
And find a brand new way of seeing
Your eyes forever glued to mine

Don’t go and leave me
And please don’t drive me blind
Don’t go and leave me
And please don’t drive me blind

And please don’t drive me blind
And please don’t drive me blind
And please don’t drive me blind
And please don’t drive me blind

I know you’re broken
I know you’re broken
I know you’re broken

Pierrot the clown

Leave me dreaming on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down

And if you’re ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I’ll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

Saw you crashing round the bay
Never seen you act so shallow
Or look so brown
Remember all the things you’d say
How your promises ran hollow
As you threw me to the ground

And if you’re ever around
In the backstreets or the alleys
Of this town
Be sure to come around
I’ll be wallowing in pity
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

When I dream, I dream your lips
When I dream, I dream your kiss
When I dream, I dream your fists
Your fists, your fists

Leave me bleeding on the bed
See you right back here tomorrow
For the next round
Keep this scene inside your head
As the bruises turn to yellow
The swelling goes down

And if you’re ever around
In the city or the suburbs
Of this town,
Be sure to come around,
I’ll be wallowing in sorrow
Wearing a frown
Like Pierrot the clown

Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown
Like Pierrot the clown

Broken promise

We’ll rise above this
We’ll cry about this
As we live and learn
A broken promise
I was not honest
Now I watch as tables turn
And you’re singing

I’ll wait my turn to tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

I’ll cry about this and hide my cuckold eyes
As you come off all concerned
I’ll find no solace in your poor apology
In your regret that sounds absurd
Keep singing

I’ll wait my turn to tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn to terrorize you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

A promise is a promise
A promise is a promise

I’ll wait my turn to tear inside you
Watch you burn
I’ll wait my turn
I’ll wait my turn

A broken promise
You were not honest
I’ll bide my time
I’ll wait my turn

One of a kind

On top of the world you get nothing done
Talk is cold and burns like the sun
Can’t you see these skies are breaking
Cause the top of the word is where I’m from
The back of the class is where I was
Keeping quiet playing dumb
Can’t you see these skies are breaking
Cause the back of the class is where I’m from

And I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

I’m on a race and it’s killing time
I don’t need yours i’ll keep it with mine
Can’t you see these skies are breaking
Cause I’m on a race and I’m doing fine, thank you
Two of a kind no one home
I’m in a crowd and I’m still alone
Can’t you see the skies are breaking
Cause one of a kind is all I own

I am one
I am
I am one
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

Out of the womb and into the void
I wanna try but I get annoyed
Can’t you see these skies are breaking
Cause I’m out of the womb and into the void

I am one,
I am,
I am one,
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am
I am, I am, I am, I am, I am

On top of the world you get nothing done

In the cold light of morning

In the cold light of morning
While everyone’s yawning
You’re high
In the cold light of morning
The party gets boring
You’re high
As your skin starts a scratchin’
Wave yesterday’s action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You’re high

In the cold light

In the cold light of morning
While everyone’s yawning
You’re high
In the cold light of morning
You’re drunksick from whoring
And high
Staring back from the mirror’s a face that you don’t recognise
It’s a loser, a sinner, a cock in a dildo’s disguise

In the cold light

Tomorrow
Tomorrow
Tomorrow

As your skin starts a scratchin’
Wave yesterdays action goodbye
Forget past indiscretions and stolen possessions
You’re high
In the cold light of day
Tomorrow’s only a kettle whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle,
Whistle away
In the cold light of day

Song To Say Goodbye

You are one of God’s mistakes
You crying, tragic waste of skin
I’m well aware of how it aches
And you still won’t let me in
Now I’m breaking down your door
To try and save your swollen face
Though I don’t like you anymore
You lying, trying waste of space

Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry
My Oh My

You were mother nature’s son
Someone to whom I could relate
Your needle and your damage done
Remains a sordid twist of fate
Now I’m trying to wake you up
To pull you from the liquid sky
‘Cause if I don’t we’ll both end up
With just your songs to say goodbye
My Oh My

A song to say goodbye
A song to say goodbye
A song to say

Before our innocence was lost
You were always one of those
Blessed with lucky sevens
And a voice that made me cry

It’s a song to say goodbye

English summer rain

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes
English summer rain seems to last for ages
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes
English summer rain seems to last for ages

I’m in the basement, you’re in the sky
I’m in the basement baby, drop on by
I’m in the basement, you’re in the sky
I’m in the basement baby, drop on by

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes
English summer rain seems to last for ages
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes
English summer rain seems to last for ages

I’m in the basement, you’re in the sky
I’m in the basement baby, drop on by
I’m in the basement, you’re in the sky
I’m in the basement baby, drop on by

Hold your breath and count to ten
Then fall apart and start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
Start again, start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
Then fall apart and start again
Start again… (x13)

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes
English summer rain seems to last for ages
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes
English summer rain seems to last for ages

Hold your breath and count to ten
Then fall apart and start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
Start again, start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
Then fall apart and start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
And start again, and start again

Start again… (x16)

“Once I thought I saw you in a crowded hazy bar,
Dancing on the light from star to star.
Far across the moonbeam I know that’s who you are,
I saw your brown eyes turning once to fire.

You are like a hurricane
There’s calm in your eye.
And I’m gettin’ blown away
To somewhere safer where the feeling stays.
I want to love you but I’m getting blown away.

*** In the Single Version of the song, Brian added an extra lyrics in English Summer Rain at the end :

I can’t sleep without your breathing
And I can’t breathe each time you’re leaving
And I’ll pray you won’t stay away
And you come back to me some day”

This Picture

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
As the cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
That put my friendship to the test
And late at night
Whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What’s wrong with this picture?
What’s wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
We know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it’s faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it’s faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
We know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it’s faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it’s faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old

Hang on
Though we try
It’s gone
Hang on
Though we try
It’s gone

Sometimes it’s faded
Disintegrated
For fear of growing old
Sometimes it’s faded
Assassinated
For fear of growing old
Can’t stop growing old…

Sleeping with ghosts

The sea’s evaporating
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we’re seeing
They’re explosions in the sky
It seems it’s written
But we can’t read between the line

Hush
It’s okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die

This one world vision
Turns us into compromise
What good’s religion
When it’s each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies

Hush
It’s okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die

Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die…
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die
Soulmates never die

The Bitter End

Since we’re feeling so anaesthetized
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

We’re running out of alibis
On the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winters day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

Every step we take that’s synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
As you’re walking away
Reminds me that it’s killing time
On this fateful day

See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end
See you at the bitter end

From the time we intercepted
Feels alot like suicide
Slow and sad, going sadder
Arise a sitting mine

(See you at the bitter end)

I love to see you run around
And i can see you now
Running to me
Arms wide out

(See you at the bitter end)

Reach inside
Come on just gotta reach inside
Heard your cry
Six months time
Six months time
Prepare the end

(See you at the bitter end)

Something Rotten

Down here
It seems we’re here
I miss you something rotten
The stinks are here
It’s guaranteed all is forgotten

Down here
Down here
It’s clear that your uncut
Don’t fear, don’t fear
Keep all this forgotten

Face down, face down
Face down
I miss you something rotten
Face down, face down
This crown is broken rotten

Down here, down here
I know it’s not, it’s all forgotten
Down here, down here
Face down
I miss you something rotten

Down here, down here
It stinks
It stinks of something rotten
Don’t fear, don’t fear
Keep all this forgotten

There’s something rotten down here
There’s something rotten down here
There’s something rotten down here
There’s something rotten down here

There’s something rotten down here
There’s something rotten down here
There’s something rotten down here
There’s something rotten down here

Plasticine

Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream
That doesn’t sell its soul for self-esteem
That’s not plasticine
Beauty lies inside desire and every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn’t sell its soul for self-esteem
That’s not plasticine

Don’t forget to be the way you are (x4)

The only thing you can rely on is that you can’t rely on anything
Don’t go and sell your soul for self-esteem
Don’t be plasticine

Don’t forget to be the way you are (x4)
And don’t forget to be the way you are (x4)
The way you are…

Special Needs

Remember me when you’re the one that’s silver screened
Remember me when you’re the one you always dreamed
Remember me whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me, special needs

Just nineteen a sucker’s dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen, a dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me when you clinch your movie deal
Think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screams
Remember me, special dreams

Just nineteen a sucker’s dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Just nineteen a sucker’s dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me
Remember me

Just nineteen a sucker’s dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Just nineteen a sucker’s dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream obscene
With six months off for bad behavior

Remember me
Remember me

I’ll Be Yours

I’ll be your water bathing you clean
The liquid piece
I’ll be your ether you’ll breathe me in
You won’t release
Well I’ve seen you suffer, I’ve seen you cry the whole night through
So I’ll be your water bathing you clean
Liquid blue

I’ll be your father, I’ll be your mother,
I’ll be your lover, I’ll be yours x2

I’ll be your liqour bathing your soul
Juice that’s pure
And I’ll be your anchor you’ll never leave
Shores that cure
Well I’ve seen you suffer, I’ve seen you cry for days and days
So I’ll be your liqour demons will drown
And float away

I’ll be your father, I’ll be your mother,
I’ll be your lover, I’ll be yours x3
Yours…

Second sight

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were, you never were

Yes it’s just the second night
But I would break backsides for you
Yes i know you’re the jealous type
‘Cause I’m cursed with second sight so

Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
Here comes the morning after
Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
You never were, you never were

Yes it’s just the second night
But I would break backsides for you
Yes i know you’re the jealous type
‘Cause I’m cursed with second sight so (x3)

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were, you never were

Yes it’s just the second night
But I would break backsides for you
Yes i know you’re the jealous type
‘Cause I’m cursed with second sight so

Walk away (x
(You never were…)

Protect me from what I want

It’s the disease of the age
It’s the disease that we crave
Alone at the end of the rave
We catch the last bus home

Corporate America wakes
Coffee republic and cakes
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home

Protect me from what I want…
Protect me protect me

Maybe we’re victims of fate
Remember when we’d celebrate
We’d drink and get high until late
And now we’re all alone

Wedding bells ain’t gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we’re all alone

Protect me from what I want…
Protect me protect me
Protect me from what I want…
Protect me protect me

Protect me from what I want…
Protect me protect me
Protect me from what I want…
Protect me protect me

Centrefolds

Come on Balthazar I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star I refuse to let you die
Cos it’s wrong and i’ve been waiting far too long
It’s wrong
I’ve been waiting far too long
For you to be…be…be…be…be mine
For you to be mine
Be mine
For you to be mine
And it’s wrong i’ve been waiting far too long
It’s wrong
I’ve been waiting far too long
For you to be…be…be…be…be

All the centrefolds that you can’t afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes
All the centrefolds that you can’t afford
You’ve long sinced faded from their eyes
So be…be mine
So be…be mine

Taste In Men

Change your taste in men
It’s been this way since christmas day
Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men

Come back to me awhile

Dazzled, doused in gin
Change your taste in men

Days before You Came

Days before you came
Freezing cold and empty
Towns that changed their name
And a horn of plenty

Days before you came
Counting breaths inside me
Even crack cocaine
Couldn’t start to hide me

Won’t you join me now?
Baby’s looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Won’t you join me now?
Baby’s looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade.

Days before you came
It always seemed enticing
To be naked and profane
There is no denying

Days before you came
Thunderbolts and lightning
Each day a brand new vein
Each tourniquet colliding

Didn’t want you anyway X4

Won’t you join me now?
Baby’s looking torn and frayed
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Won’t you join me now?
Baby’s looking to get laid
Join the masquerade
Join the masquerade

Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you

Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you came
Days before you

Didn’t want you anyway X4

Special K

Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief

More than just a leitmotiv
More chaotic, no relief

I’ll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal

Can the savior be for real?
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever wanna crash
No hesitation, no delay
You come on just like special K
Now you’re back with dope demand
I’m on sinking sand

Gravity, no escaping
Gravity
Gravity
No escaping
Not for free
I fall down
Hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time
You seem to come around

I’ll describe the way I feel
You’re my new Achille’s heel

Can the savior be for real?
Or are you just my seventh seal?

No hesitation
No delay
You come on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation
No delay
You come on just like special K
Now you’re back with dope demand
I’m on sinking sand

Gravity
No escaping gravity
Gravity
No escaping
Not for free
I fall down
Hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time
You seem to come around

No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity
No escaping gravity

Spite & malice

Ahaha revolution
Dope guns fucking in the streets
Revolution
Dope guns fucking in the streets

Aces take your time
Queens are left for dead
Jacks can stand in line
And touch themselves instead
Aces take your pity
And keep it warm in bed
Aces take your time

Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic when he’s stands alone
Feelin’ demonic harmonic
In a no go zone
You look well suited
Like you came to win
Lust spite and malice
Your degrees of sin
Cruisin’ for pity
And looking pretty as fuck
Ace take your chances
Queen wish you luck

Aces take your time
Draw your final breath
Jacks are feelin fine
They’ve clubbed themselves to death
Aces take your pity
You sleep with it instead
Aces take your time

You can play your card
I’ll hold onto mine
Tied up in the reasons
Ace take your time
Looks turn to lovers
Flames into fires
Jack loves his tragedy
Queen her desires
You look well suited like you came to win
Lust spite and malice
Your degrees of sin
Wrap me in your trauma
And I may just give you mine
Queen take your chances
Aces take your time

Dope guns fucking in the street
Everything will blow tonight
Revolution
Dope guns fucking in the street
Either friend or foe tonight
Revolution
Dope guns fucking in the street

Cut the deck
The queens left for dead
Soft and wet scarf tied to the bed
Jack is all tragic when he’s stands alone

Your degrees of sin

Black-Eyed

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Bordelining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss

I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I’m forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home

I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Bordeline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts

I was never grateful
That’s why I spent my days alone
I’m forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
Broken home

Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed
Black-eyed, black-eyed

Blue American

I wrote this novel just for you
It sounds pretentious but it’s true
I wrote this novel just for you
That’s why it’s vulgar
That’s why it’s blue
And I say thank you
I say thank you

I wrote this novel just for Mom
For all the Mommy things she’s done
For all the times she showed me wrong
For all the times she sang God’s song
And I say thank you Mom
Hello Mom
Thank you Mom
Hi Mom

I read a book about Uncle Tom
Where whitey bastard made a bomb
But now Ebonics rule our song
Those motherfuckers got it wrong
And I ask
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
Who is uncle Tom?
You are

I read a book about the self
Said I should get expensive help
Go fix my head
Create some wealth
Put my neurosis on the shelf

But I don’t care for myself
I don’t care for myself
I don’t care for myself
I don’t care

I wrote this novel just for you
I’m so pretentious
Yes it’s true
I wrote this novel just for you
Just for you
Just for you

Slave To The Wage

Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom and wave
Your worries and cares
Goodbye

All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts, a little vision to wave
Your worries and cares
Goodbye

It’s a maze for rats to try
It’s a maze for rats to try
It’s a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

It’s a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

Sick and tired of Maggie’s farm
She’s a bitch with broken arms to wave
Your worries and cares
Goodbye

It’s a maze for rats to try
It’s a maze for rats to try
It’s a race, a race for rats
A race for rats to die

It’s a race, a race for rats

Run away, run away
Run away, run away
Run away, run away

Commercial For Levi

You’re the one who’s always choking Trojan
You’re the one who’s always bruised and broken
Sleep may be the enemy
But so is another line
It’s a remedy
You should take more time

You’re the one who’s always choking Trojan
You’re the one who’s showers always golden
Spunk and bestiality well it’s an Assisi lie
It’s ahead of me, you should close your fly

I understand the fascination
The dream that comes alive at night
But if you don’t change your situation
Then you’ll die, you’ll die, don’t die, don’t die
Please don’t die

You’re the one who’s always choking Trojan
You’re the one who’s always bruised and broken
Drunk on immorality, valium and cherry wine
Coke and ecstasy, you’re gonna blow your mind

I understand the fascination
I’ve even been there once or twice or more
But if you don’t change your situation
Then you’ll die, you’ll die, don’t die, don’t die
Please don’t die X4

Haemoglobin

I was hanging from a tree
Unaccustomed to such violence
Jesus looking down on me
I’m prepared for one big silence

How’d I ever end up here
Must be through some lack of kindness
And it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

At the time they cut me free
I was brimming with defiance
Doctors looking down on me
Breaking every law of science

How’d I ever end up here
A latent strain of color blindness
Then it seemed to dawn on me
Haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat

Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground, go
Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground

As they drag me to my feet
I was filled with incoherence
Theories of conspiracy
The whole world wants my disappearance

I’ll go fighting nail and teeth
You’ve never seen such perseverance
Gonna make you scared of me
‘Cause haemoglobin is the key

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heartbeat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat

Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat
Haemoglobin is the key
To a healthy heart beat

Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground, go
Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground, go

Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground, go
Now my feet don’t touch the ground
Now my feet don’t touch the ground, go.

Narcoleptic

Slip and stumble at my first offences
It’s not treason, it’s no lie
You talk in paragraphs
I write my sentence
It’s not treason, it’s no lie

It seems a place for us to dream
It seems a place for us to dream

Crush and crumble under your defenses
It’s not treason, it’s no lie
You frame the photograph I sit on fences
Change your season, love can die

It seems a place for us to dream
It seems a place for us to dream
It seems a place for us to dream
It seems a place for us to dream

If we tear out the tumor
It’s later, never sooner
If we tear out the tumor
It’s later, never sooner

It seems a place for us to dream
It seems a place for us to dream

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up

Wake up
Wake up
Wake up

It seems a place for us to dream
It seems a place for us to dream

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up

You’d better keep it in check
Or you’ll end up a wreck
And you’ll never wake up

Wake up

Peeping Tom

Careful not to fall
Have to climb your wall
‘Cause you’re the one who makes me feel much taller than you are
I’m just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I’m weightless
I’m bare
I’m faithless
I’m scared

The face that fills the hole
Stole my broken soul
One that makes me seem to feel much taller than you are
I’m just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Troubles with the gear
Nothing left to fear

I’m weightless
I’m bare
I’m faithless
I’m scared

I’m weightless
I’m bare
I’m faithless
I’m scared

With every bet I lost
And every trick I tossed
You’re still the one
Who makes me feel much taller than you are
I’m just a peeping tom
On my own for far too long
Problems with the booze
Nothing left to lose

I’m weightless
I’m bare
I’m faithless
I’m scared

I’m weightless
I’m bare
I’m faithless
I’m scared

I’m weightless
I’m bare
I’m faithless
I’m scared

I’m scared
I’m scared
I’m scared
I’m scared

Black Market blood

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She’s insane, this friend of mine
And she’s always bawling

Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

There’s a place within her mind
With rains already falling
She’s insane, this friend of mine
And she’s always bawling

Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She’s preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She’s preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood
Black market blood

Wasted face that swallowed time
With Armageddon crawling
She’s insane, this friend of mine
And she’s always bawling

Hear her calling
Hear her calling you
Hear her calling
Hear her calling you

She’s preparing for the flood
The deluge and the sliding mud
She’s preparing for the flood
Running on black market blood

Black market blood
Black market blood
Black market blood

Pure morning

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
A friend with weed is better
A friend with breast and all the rest
A friend who’s dressed in leather

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
A friend who’ll tease is better
Our thoughts compressed
Which makes us blessed
And makes for stormy weather

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
My Japanese is better
And when she’s pressed she will undress
And then she’s boxing clever

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
A friend who bleeds is better
My friend confessed she passed the test
And we will never sever

Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
A friend who’ll tease is better
Our thoughts compressed
Which makes us blessed
And makes for stormy weather

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
A friend who bleeds is better
My friend confessed she passed the test
And we will never sever

Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Day’s dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
Pure morning
Pure morning

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
My Japanese is better
And when she’s pressed she will undress
And then she’s boxing clever

A friend in need’s a friend indeed
A friend with weed is better
A friend with breast and all the rest
A friend who’s dressed in leather

You don’t care about us

If it’s a bad day, you try to suffocate.
Another memory, scarred.
If it’s a bad case, then you accelerate,
you’re in the getaway car.

You don’t care about us oh oh
You don’t care about us oh oh
You don’t care about us oh oh
You don’t care about us.

If it’s a bad case, you’re on the rampage.
Another memory, scarred.

You’re in the getaway car.

It’s your age, It’s my rage
It’s your age, It’s my rage
It’s your age, It’s my rage

You’re too complicated, we should separate it.
You’re just confiscated, you’re exasperating.
This degeneration, mental masturbation.
Think I’ll leave it all behind
Save this bleeding heart of mine

It’s a matter of trust X4
Because
You don’t care about us X4

It’s your age, It’s my rage
It’s your age, It’s my rage

Ask for answers

Time to pass you to the test
Hanging on my lover’s breath
Always coming second best
Pictures of my lover’s chest

Get through
This night
There are no second chances

This time
I might
To ask the sea for answers

Always falling to the floor
Softer than it was before.
Dog boy, media whore
It’s who the hell you take me for.

Give up
This fight
There are no second chances

This time
I might
To ask the sea for answers

These bonds are shackle free
Wrapped in lust and lunacy
Tiny touch of jealousy
These bonds are shackle free

Get through
This night
There are no second chances

This time
I might
To ask the sea for answers

These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free
These bonds are shackle free

Get through
This
There are no second chances

This time, this
To ask the sea for answers

Without you I’m nothing

Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I’ll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I’ll take it by your side
Instant correlation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I’ll take it by your side
Over saturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I’ll take it by your side

Tick, tock x3
Tick, tick, tick, tick, tick, tock

I’m unclean a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You’re slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You’ve never seen the lonely me at all

I…
Take the plan, spin it sideways
I…
Fall

Without you, I’m nothing
Without you, I’m nothing
Without you, I’m nothing

Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I’m nothing at all

Allergic (To Thoughts of Mother Earth)

Any means in your horizon
Heaven in a tourniquet
The afterlife to keep your eyes on
Bitter pill you take today
With expert levitation forward
Polished to the nth degree
It takes it’s smile from every children
You take the beating

Any means in your horizon
Every mink walks two by two
We gamble to be born again
You know I never wanted to
With expert levitation forward
Polished to the nth degree
It takes it’s smile from every children
You take the beating

The light divining, the light defining
The light divining, the light dividing

Don’t let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Don’t let me
Don’t let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Let me

Don’t let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Don’t let me
Don’t let me down
Let me-he
Let me down
Let me

The light divining, the light defining
The light divining, the light deviding

The crawl

It takes the pain away
That could not make you stay
It’s way to broke to fix
No glue, no bag of tricks

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Your smile would make me sneeze
When we were siamese
Amazing grace in here
I’d pay to have you near

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Don’t go and lose your face
At some strangers place
And don’t forget to breathe
And pay before you leave

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Lay me down
The lie will unfurl
Lay me down to crawl

Every you every me

Sucker love is heaven sent
You pucker up, our passion’s spent
My heart’s a tart, your body’s rent
My body’s broken, yours is bent

Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed, I lie here charmed
‘Cause there’s nothing else to do
Every me and every you

Sucker love, a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse

In the shape of things to come.
Too much poison come undone
‘Cause there’s nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me, me

Sucker love is known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heavens sake
There’s never been so much at stake

I serve my head up on a plate
It’s only comfort, calling late
‘Cause there’s nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me, me

Every me and every you,
Every me, me

Like the naked leads the blind
I know I’m selfish, I’m unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind

All alone in space and time
There’s nothing here but what here’s mine
Something borrowed, something blue

Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me, me

Every me and every you
Every me, me

My Sweet Prince

Never thought you’d make me perspire
Never thought I’d do you the same
Never thought I’d fill with desire
Never thought I’d feel so ashamed

Me and the dragon can chase all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince, you are the one
My sweet prince, you are the one

Never thought I’d have to retire
Never thought I’d have to abstain
Never thought all this could back fire
Close up the hole in my vein

Me and my valuable friend
Can fix all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember

My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one X5

Never thought I’d get any higher
Never thought you’d fuck with my brain
Never thought all this could expire
Never thought you’d go break the chain

Me and you baby
Still flush all the pain away
So before I end my day
Remember
My sweet prince
You are the one
My sweet prince
You are the one X9
My sweet prince
My sweet prince

Summer’s gone

Cue to your face so forsaken
Crushed by the way that you cry
Cue to your face so forsaken
What a surprise

You try to break the mould
Before you get too old
You try to break the mould
Before you die

Cue to your heart that is racing
Stung by the look in your eye
Cue to your heart that is racing
What a surprise
You try to break the mould
Before you get too old
You try to break the mould
Before you die

Cue your face so forsaken
Crushed by the way that you cry
Cue your face so forsaken
Say goodbye

Sing for your lover
Like blood from a stone
Sing for your lover
Who’s waiting at home
If you sing when youre high
And youre dry as a bone
Then you must realize
That you’re never alone
And you’ll sing with the dead instead

You try and break the mould,
Before you get too old
You try and break the mould,
Before you die

Sing for your lover
Like blood from a stone
Sing for your lover
Who’s waiting at home
If you sing when youre high
And youre dry as a bone
Then you must realize
That you’re never alone
And you’ll sing with the dead instead

Scared of girls

An introverted kind of soul
The earth did open
Swallow whole

Careening X4

Her next of kin who lived in sin
Was asking God to let her in

Careening X4

I’m a man, a liar
Guaranteed in your bed
I gotta place it on the rack
Got a place inside it X3

An extroverted kinda girl
Did tour the world with MC5

Careening X4

Her younger sister, had a blister
Where I kissed her on her thigh

Careening X4

I’m a man a liar
Guaranteed in your bed
I gotta place it on the rack
Got a place inside it

I’m a man a liar
Guaranteed in your bed
I gotta place it on the rack
Got a place inside it X3

I’m a man a liar
Guaranteed in your bed
I gotta place it on the rack
Got a place inside it

I’m a man a liar
Guaranteed in your bed
I gotta place it on the rack

Burger Queen

Slightly bemused by his lack of direction
Hey you, hey you
Came to this world by caesarean section
Hey you, hey you
Chooses his clothes to match his pallid complexion
Hey you, hey you
Now it takes him all day just to get an erection
Hey you

Things aren’t what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren’t what they seem
Makes no sense at all

Goes out to cruise and to meet his connection
Hey you, hey you
He never scores he just gets an infection
Hey you, hey you
He dreams of a place with a better selection
Hey you, hey you
Still it takes him all day just to get an erection

Hey you
Things aren’t what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren’t what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren’t what they seem
Makes no sense at all
Things aren’t what they seem

Slightly bemused by the total rejection
Hey you, hey you

Hey you, hey you
Dreams of a face that is pure perfection
Hey you

Things aren’t what they seem

Evil dildo (hidden track)

( The voices you hear were taken from Brian’s answer machine )

Hey motherfucker, I’m after you. I know where you live.

I will fuck you up the ass and I will sneak into your room and cut your cock off
And stuff it in my mouth and chew it up with my little teeth.

Come home

Stuck between the do or die
I feel emaciated
Hard to breathe I try and try
I’ll get asphyxiated
Swinging from the tallest height
With nothing left to hold on to

Every sky is blue,
But not for me and you,
Come home come home,
Come home come home.

Glass and petrol vodka gin
It feels like breathing methane
Throw yourself from skin to skin
And still it doesn’t dull the pain
Vanish like a lipstick trace
It always blows me away.

Every cloud is grey,
Dreams of yesterday,
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home

Always goes against the grain
And I can try and deny it
Give a monkey half a brain
And still he’s bound to fry it
Now the happening scene is dead
I used to want to be there too

Every sky is blue,
But not for me and you,
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home
Come home, come home,
Come home, come home

Teenage angst

Shine the headlight
Straight into my eyes
Like the roadkill
I’m paralysed
You see through my disguise

At the drive-in
Double feature
Pull the lever
Break the fever
And say your last goodbye

Since I was born I started to decay
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

One fluid gesture
Like stepping back in time
Trapped in amber
Petrified
And still not satisfied

Airs and social graces
Elocution so divine
I’ll stick to my needle
And my favourite waste of time
Both spineless and sublime

Since I was born I started to decay
Now nothing ever ever goes my way

Bionic

Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Forever after.

None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade.

Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Harder faster
Forever after
Forever after.

None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade
None of you can make the grade.

36 degrees

We were tight
But it falls apart
As silver turns to blue
Waxing with the candlelight
And burning just for you
Allocate your sentiment
And stick it in a box
I’ve never been an extrovert
But i’m still breathing

Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
It’s what i’m afraid of
Someone tried to do me ache
It’s what i’m afraid of

With hindsight
I was more than blind
Lost without a clue
Thought I was getting carat gold
And what I got was you
Stuck inside the circumstances
Lonely at the top
I’ve always been an introvert
Happily bleeding

Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
Someone tried to do me ache
It’s what i’m afraid of
Someone tried to do me ache
It’s what i’m afraid of

Four, seven, two, three, nine, eight, five
I gotta breathe to stay alive
And one, four, two, nine, seven, eight
Feels like i’m gonna suffocate
Fourteen, sixteen, twenty-two
This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees
I’m Thirty six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I’m Thirty six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I’m Thirty six degrees
Shoulders toes and knees
I’m Thirty six degrees

Hang on to your IQ

Chinese masseuse
Comes between us
Talks in haikus
Plastic venus
Got a headrush
In her pocket
Two rubbers two lubes
And a silver rocket.

Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id,
Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id.

I’m lonely, I’m lonely
I’m lonely, I’m lonely

Every morning
My eyes will open wide
I gotta get high
Before i go outside
Roll another
For breakfast
Burning clouds around
And in my solar plexus

Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id,
Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id.

I’m lonely, I’m lonely
I’m lonely, I’m lonely

Legs eleven
Makes me stay up late
Two fat ladies on my back
And now it’s 88
I’m a fool
Whose tool is small
It’s so miniscule
It’s no tool at all

Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id,
Hang on hang on,
To your iq to your id.

I’m lonely, I’m lonely
I’m lonely, I’m lonely
Oh

Nancy boy

Alcoholic kind of mood,
Lose my clothes,
Lose my lube,
Cruising for a piece of fun,
Looking out for number one,
Different partner every night,
So narcotic outta sight,
What a gas,
What a beautiful ass !

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me.

Kind of buzz that lasts for days,
Had some help from insect ways,
Comes across all shy and coy,
Just another nancy boy,
Woman man or modern monkey,
Just another happy junkie,
Fifty pounds,
Press my button,
Going down.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me.

Does his makeup in his room
Douse himself with cheap perfume
Eyeholes in a paper bag
Greatest lay i ever had
Kind of guy who mates for life
Gotta help him find a wife
We’re a couple
When our bodies double

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me.

And it all breaks down at the role reversal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me,
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
Got the muse in my head she’s universal,
Spinnin’ me round she’s coming over me.

I know

I know, you love the song but not the singer,
I know, you’ve got me wrapped around your finger,
I know, you want the sin without the sinner,
I know, I know.

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard,
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, I know.

I know, you cut me loose from contradiction,
I know, I’m all wrapped up in sweet attrition,
I know, It’s asking for your benediction,
I know, I know.

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard,
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, I know.

I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, the last in line is always called a bastard,
I know, the past will catch you up as you run faster,
I know, I know.

Bruise pristine

The means are right for taking
Fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless
In the face of beauty
In this matrix
It’s plain to see
It’s either you or me

Bruise
Pristine
Serene
We were born to lose

Cast a line with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book
In the hands of love
In this matrix
It’s plain to see
It’s either you or me

Bruise,
Pristine,
Serene,
We were born to lose.

Lady of the flowers

‘Scuse me
I apologize
He likes your attitude
He tries it on for size
He spends the afternoon
Between your thighs
How’s that for gratitude
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze

‘Scuse me
I apologize
She’s got vacuum cleaner eyes that
Suck you in
She’s got magazines
Filled with hair styles
‘Scuse me
I apologize

It seemed to last for hours
It seemed to last for days
This lady of the flowers
And her hypnotic gaze

She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self-doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out

Her electronic haze

She wears her tears on her blouse
Confused and racked with self-doubt
She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out

She stole the keys to my house
And then she locked herself out
She lays me down
She lays me
