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 out of sight/what a gas what a beautiful ass...
...and it all breaks down at the role reversal ( first rehearsal )/got the muse in my head she's universal/spinning 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-pound
press my button going down...
...does his make-up 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...
 

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 through contradiction
I know... I'm all wrapped up in sweet attrition
I know... it's asking for your benediction
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 encore...
 

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 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/I'm 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...

 

The Crawl : It takes the pain away...that could not make you stay...it's way too 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...

...don't go and lose your face...at some stranger's place...and forget to breathe...and pay before you leave...

 

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 spent

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

sucker love is known to swing/prone to cling and waste these things/pucker up for heaven's 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

like the naked leads the blind/I know I'm selfish I'm unkind/sucker love I always find/somoeone to bruise and leave behind

all alone in space and time/there's nothing here but what's here is mine/something borrowed something blue/every me and every you

 

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 getaway caryou don't care about usIf it's a bad case you're on a rampage another memory scarredYou're in the wrong place you're on the back page you're in a getaway caryou don't care about usit's your age it's my rageYou're to complicated we should separate it***You're just confiscating you're exasperating***This degeneration mental masturbationThink I'll leave it all behind save this bleeding heart of mineit's a matter of trustbecauseyou don't care about usit's your age it's my rage

 

PURE MORNING :

 

a friend in need's a friend indeed a friend with weed is better a friend with breasts 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 skin's crawling

pure morning
