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 With 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 road kill, I'm paralysed You see through my disguise
At the drive-in, double feature Pull the lever, break the fever And say your last goodbyes
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 a 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 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 circumstance It's lonely at the top I've always been an introvert Happily bleeding
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
4 7 2 3 9 8 5 I gotta breathe to stay alive And 1 4 2 9 7 8 Feels like I'm gonna suffocate 14 16 22 This skin that turns to blister blue
Shoulders toes and knees I'm 36 degrees Shoulders toes and knees I'm 36 degrees Shoulder toes and knees I'm 36 degrees Shoulders toes and knees I'm 36 degrees
HANG ON TO YOUR IQ
Chinese masseuse Comes between us Talks in haikus Plastic venus Got a head-rush 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
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
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 minuscule 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
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 Eye-holes 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 in 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
Encore, encore Plus bas, plus fort Encore
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
LADY OF THE FLOWERS
'Scuse me I apologise He likes your attitude He tries it on for size He spends the afternoon Between your thighs How's that for gratitude I apologise
It seemed to last for hours It seemed to last for days This lady of the flowers And her hypnotic gaze
'Scuse me I apologise She's got vacuum cleaner eyes Suck you in She's got magazines Filled with hair pies 'Scuse me I apologise
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
'Scuse me I apologise He likes your attitude He tries it on for size He spends the afternoon Between your thighs How's that for gratitude I apologise
It seemed to last for hours It seemed to last for days This lady of the flowers 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
