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
