Catherine Wheel

Safe on the shore I've been sleeping
Faced by the thoughts I've been keeping
To break down the door of my life
I need more texture

You need to give me more texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more texture

So deep inside I've been dreaming
In a space too confined, too concealing
It's a race to remind you of days I can't find

You need to give me more texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more

To break down the door of my life
I need more texture

You need to give me more
You need to give me more
Texture, texture, texture
You need to give me more texture, texture

What you do to me
Leave puddles at my feet
Won't it make me ill
The way you make me feel
Can't remember when
My senses were so bent
Tell me your impressed
With my obsessiveness
What am I supposed to do

Bubbles in my
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you, you

Won't you let me kiss
You're starving me of this
You really have the flair
To suffocate me there
For my survival I conclude
When I need air it's all I use

My Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you

I lose the energy to think
I don't eat food and all I think
Is Fizzy love for you
My fizzy
My fizzy love for you

Call me romantic
But I'm frantically fucked up
I had a picture
Sentimentally flawed
Pretty hard to ignore

In my soul
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul

Fatally wounded
And in peacetime Oh Oh
Leaving me rigid
That's what I find so
hard hard hard to forgive

In my soul
You killed my soul
Pretty hard to forgive
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul

Oh
Call me romantic
But I'm disappointed

La La La La...

Recent years were unsung
I light 'em up
Burning my horoscope
Recent fears I've undone
I give 'em up
Sick of my bogus ghost
Rising up it reached my highest line
C'mon Daisy don't drown me this time

I'm living in fits can't get myself ripped
Don't make me no criminal
I'm easily moved, it don't leave me no room
Don't make me no criminal
Rising up it reached my highest line
I had bad ideas and ballast on my mind

Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
I'm taking off
I'm taking off

Recent fears about love
I string 'em up
These are my robust ropes
There'll be no more tears I'm unplugged
Let's live it up
Easy come easy go
Falling down gave me my highest line
So c'mon Daisy don't drown me this time

Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
I'm taking off
I'm taking off

Falling down I reached my highest line
I've got a good idea what breaks you makes you shine

Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Burning up the future
Now the sparks are gonna fly
'cos I'm turned on again
Turning on the boosters
I'm taking off
I'm taking off
(so c'mon Daisy don't drown me this time)

Fuel of fathers' sweat
Sweet like baby's breath
Strong like superman
Stinking up the streets I am
The feeling does me in
But here I go again

I love gasoline
I love gasoline

Smooth like summer silk
Sweet like mother's milk
Warm like tenderness
Perfume sprayed around my neck
I know it makes no sense
But here I go again

I love gasoline
I love gasoline

Here comes the rush again
Let me down easy

Warm like summer breeze
Flowing round your city
Come on down with me

I love gasoline
I love gasoline

Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat
Through every lifetime from scars that run deep
Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched
Book me the right train I'd love to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of release

My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms
My aims, my itch, my foes, I've licked
My bed of flame my name
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again

Follow the pipeline I laid it so deep
It flows out my window it flows out to sea
It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack
Book me the right plane I long to nip back
Set up high above the Pyrenees
Set up high on the road of relief

My lies, my lust, my truth, my trust
My league, my school, my game, my rules
My bed I've made, my grave
Spread myself round again
Spilled out my guts again
Think I might lay down again
Stitch me up I'm torn again

My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips
Are failing me
Combined with mixed up living
My victory is escaping me
La La La
The lifeline slips away

She was my sunlight
She made my skin glow
She had these bow legs
I didn't want her to go
Blue skies were turning red
Learned my grade the hard way
She loved me or so she said
So I say

We all believe
What we want to believe in
We like to dream
What we want to believe in
This is the real thing

I stretched her dress tight
I cut her hair low
I made her speak right
I didn't want her to go
Grey skies beneath my feet
I slipped on truth the hard way
She preferred herself to me
So I say

We all believe
What we want to believe in
We like to dream
And we want to believe it
So we all believe
What we want to believe in
This is the real thing so dance
Every woman and man
In cloud cuckoo land

I am a brute, but I abstain
I am foolish I am vain
Yeah I'm a fan
I am the brother of a famous man
I am gorgeous I am right
I have left this planet but I'll be back
I am delicious I am crap
I am all of that
I am all of that

I am smooth but I am crusted
I am speechless I can be trusted
I'm baby blue I am the nursery attached to you
I've been happy I've been sad
I graced this planet experienced that
I've been set up I've been set back
I've been all of that
I've been all of that

I'm enormous I am slight
I have left this planet but I'll be back
I am religious I am fat
I am all of that
I am all of that
I am all of that
And soon the time will come
When everybody's somebody
And nobody is anybody

Give me soap to shave around
Give me soap to shave around
With my guts exposed and slippy

Don't let them rush me
Don't hesitate
Don't let them take me away
There's nothing wrong
There's a malady in everyone
That keeps me away from the light

Shine, I give my first story
As I live the idle life
The leaping color keeps your heart alive
A creeping glow beside you lava like
Shine you make your own glory
Come on take the idle life
A foreign guy I'm God's own prototype
A blushing bride who loves an idle life

Always above me
I light the day
Here rise the sun I embrace
There's nothing wrong
There's an apogee in everyone
That keeps you awake and alive

Shine, I gave my own story
Now I live the idle life
I know my foes may get me overnight
I'm safe and dry I'm God's own prototype
Shine, you crown your own glory
Come on take the idle life
Creeping color fills your heart tonight
We see no others in our idle lives

Keep it sweet
Florist of dreams
A tangerine
You're burning up
The forest of love
You're tangled up

You're a weird child
Like your dad was
You're a bee sting
You're a mad dog
You're a fierce soul
In your bad clothes
Need some good luck
In your mad love

Keep it cheap
The promise of peaks
You've never seen
You turned around
Fountains of change
You made your name
What a name

You're a weird child
Like your dad was
Can you be still
You're a mad dog
You're a fierce soul
In your bad clothes
Need some good luck
In your mad love

It's just your magic is more than electric
It spins inside

Take me home
I'm staying up the road
I'll let you know
It isn't you
I need a clear space
To think it through

I'm a weird child
Like your dad was
I'm a bad star
You're a mad dog
You're a queen Jane
It's a hard slog
I'm a pale saint
In your mad love

You're the May Queen
I'm the magpie
We're the twin sisters
We're the real dreamers

For years I avoided caffeine
For years I was clean
I was calm and complete
Then the world fell down round my ears
Had a change in my state
Bug eyed and awake

I was grinding my teeth in my habitat
I couldn't stand still I was running back
But it was gone

Smack smack smacking my hands
Flap flapping my hands
Lick licking my wounds
Will it help me
Rip rip ripping my skin
Clip clipping my wings
Pick picking my bones
Will it help me
Hip hip hip to the beat
I can't find my own feet
Can't see where I stand
Ballad of a running man
Jam Jam marathon man

For years I was wrapped up in blue
On sunny afternoons
Sunbathed but unmoved
On the ground I found me a stooge
He was clear out of school
With a theory to prove

He said he understood so I told him
It was just like I'd read in a magazine
Said I thought it was weird to be
stumbling
And that it felt like a race
I was running in
That's already run

Smack smack smacking my hands
Flap flapping my hands
Lick licking my wounds
Will it help me
Rip rip ripping my skin
Clip clipping my wings
Pick picking my bones
Will it help me
Hip hip hip to the beat
I can't find my own feet
Can't see where I stand
Ballad of a running man
Jam Jam marathon man

Creme caramel, shy and shivering
Ring my bell so well
There's something moving slowly over us
Doesn't matter what you think or where you go
The reason why I'm losing my crust
A giddy contribution
You are merely dealing just enough
To keep the man alive
And sanitized
And keep a lid on his lust

And your wedding night thighs
Kept me alive
All through the good times
When the passion was ripe

Creme caramel, shy and shivering
Ring my bell so well
Smooth and sweet and really unctuous
And our love is mushed
And boy I'm feeling really bruised
I keep thinking my heart isn't true
But it keeps the man alive
I'll take an axe to that lie
When I'm moody and nude

And your wedding night thighs
Kept me alive
All through the good times
And your river blue eyes
Kept me alive
All through the good times
All through the good times
When the passion was ripe

Deep down this boy can feel too much
His flesh is weak he needs the satin crown
Got balls intact despite the fact
He'll curse his luck, his painful guts
screwed up the path he followed

Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and bust up
This is the worst news I have heard alone and disturbed now
He's divine this time
When will you listen?
No fake what does it take when will you listen

When will you learn?
You fuss you fight I don't think it's right
That you pushed this man so deep down this hole
Come back
Come back

Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and get fucked up
This is the worst news I have heard alone and disturbed now
He's divine this time
When will you listen?
No fake what does it take when will you listen

I always thought the way you talked was neat
And I dreamed that when you speak, you speak to me
But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet, I'll want to touch you

I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you

You're the only soul inside that makes me shake
And the crazy senseless things you make me take
It would really make my day
If you'd only move away
'Cause I'm scared that if you stay, I'll want to touch you

I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you

But you're always out of reach
And I can't control my speech
And I'm scared that when we meet
I'm fermenting, can't you see

I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
I want to touch you
Touch you, touch you, touch you, touch you, touch you

I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic

I think of you when you're sleeping
Of all the secrets that you're keeping
You can't stay all day under the covers
'Cause under there you'll discover

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic...

It's the colour of your skin
It's the colour of your skin...

Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic
Your skin is black metallic

Far from the place where I start
Is a message that you bring
Dashed aside and torn apart
Apologizing as I write

Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes...

The shame of never meaning what I say
Of looking 'round for something new
To chase the eagerness away
I use the energy to stay
Slowly falling as I fade

Indigo is blue
Indigo is blue

Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
Sometimes I fade away
I fade away...

You're wasting time
Time to shake and throw down
But I can't fight
You are the one to say goodbye
And when you shout my mouth is dry
Only when you try
Is your shallow water running high
You know what's inside

So glad to see
You take my hand between your knees
And once inside
I'll only take the things that shine
You always said those things were mine
You only said goodbye
When your shallow water got too high
You know what's inside

Only when you try
Because your shallow water growing high
You know what's inside
You know what's inside
You know what's inside

Sugar in the heart is burning
Sweet on lips and eyes are glowing
All the things you take are spinning 'round

Such a waste but you can't taste
What's coming down
All the time you save
You can turn this movie around

Needle stings and blisters breaking
Swinging moods and conscious fading
All the things you dream while spinning 'round
Always it seems to bring you, bring you down

All the time you save
You can turn this movie around
You can turn this movie around

Ferment
Ferment
Ferment
Ferment

Judy's always fading sugar voices when the sweetness is fermented
Ferment
Fermenting, fermenting, fermenting, oh

Light, your fading light
Ferment your life
Your fading light
Ferment your life
Fermenting, fermenting, fermenting...

So make it shine
No need to fade
I'll make it hard on you
I'll make it glow
No need to show you this time
I'll make it easy

And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower's fading far too soon

So think of a time
It's something to cling to
Imagine a life
That never escapes you
Conceal it behind
The colour and perfume
A flower to hide
A violet surprise
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
A flower's fading far too soon

And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
It colours everything you do
And I know
The sunlight bleaches you
A flower's fading far too soon
