Give Her A Gun


Let the fear dislocate,
Lest we frown upon the female agressor,
Makes no sense, goes against the gender,
Let her anger curse the years of oppression,
Blame the mother, sell the sister,
Before she blows you away.

Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone,
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone.

In a lifetime full of changes,
A woman's group is still a second-class convention,
Look around who has the power,
Am I a big mouth with a fix of paranoia,
On your side, on your side,
Not here for the ride.

Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone,
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone.
Oh oh a gun.

Half the population, one percent of wealth,
Half the population, one percent of wealth,
Blame the mother sell the sister,
Blame the mother, sell the sister,
Oh before I blow you away.

Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone,
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone,
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone,
Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone.

In all day, out all night
You and I see the sights in paradise
Very nice
Take me home, do it 'til your hear aches
And then you'll know my mind

And if I stay
I'd only drive you mad
I'm not that stable, I'm not so right in a way
I find myself at odds wanting to be here
Never arrive

Love and Peace
Ill at ease with naked greed
Hunger feeding, aim to please, what a teaser
Maybe I owe it to my own ways
But then I know my mind
You see, I know, I've been there before

And if I stay
I'd only drive you mad
I'm not that stable, I'm not so right in a way
I find myself at odds wanting to be here
Never arrive

If I stay
I'm not the type of girl
Waitin for someone
Waiting at home there's a way out
And only time can tell
Will be here, Will I begone
In all day, out all night
You and I see the sights in paradise

Lustra
There's something hiding behind your immaculate smile
You have always known, so let it out

Lustra
I fell your anger swell the radical in your style, girl
Take the cross you bear and throw it out

She's coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot
It's what you've always known now
You've always known now
What you waiting for

Lustra
It's gonna take as long, as long as it will take
To strike a match to your silence
Take the pain you bear and burn it out

She's coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot and give it out
Coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot
It's what you've always known now
You've always known now
What you waiting for

Lustra
Don't you know where's no tomorrow
In a sense, there's no way out
Innocence is all you're born with
Inner sense dictates the way you wheel
The way you deal with knowing who you are

Lustra
You know where hell is when you
Fight the maze of denial
Do it
You've gotta take a shot
Give all you've got for your dreams girl

She's coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot and give it out
Coming up, coming up
Breathe it in and let it out
Let it go, be yourself, take a shot
It's what you've always known now
You've always known now

Maybe I don't know you as well as I think I do
Maybe I'm just paranoid of not [???] true
It doesn't really matter if I do or don't believe in you
[???]

All that you know
The future's in your mouth
The world is at your feet but you don't know it's there
Always unprepared
And you're always running scared

Maybe they were [???]
Did you think for just one minute
They might lie to you

All that you know
The future's in your mouth
The world is at your feet but you don't know it's there
Always unprepared
And you're always running scared

[???] stand up [???]
Maybe they don't give a fuck about the likes of you

All that you know
The future's in your mouth
The world is at your feet but you don't know it's there
Always unprepared
And you're always running scared

The future's in your mouth
But you don't know it's there
You're always unprepared
And you're always running scared

Do it

[???] you're running scared
[???] you're running scared
[???] you're running scared
[???] you're running scared

Like an ordinary, like an ordinary thought
That drifts into a naked eye
How extraordinary, things are happening
Can't stop myself, i'm sinking into broken ice
I've a head that burns
Can I hold my head up
There's a storm around me
Love its violence, a fever rush
A push, a shove inside
Do I wanna do what I do
I wanna loosen the noose
And take a tumble as I roll the dice
I've a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, because I can
And if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way I am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
That's just because I can
Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close
To knowing what I am
Are you turning corners, are you coming closer
Close enough to take you for a ride
Do you ever do what you fear
You ever lived for the thrill
Enough to fill you up inside
I've a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, bacause I can
And if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way I am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
That's just because I can
Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close
To knowing what I am

As the rain pours down
Washes out my thoughts of you
And the hurling sound
It's wallows up your name
Iconoclast, the hidden past you left before you came
You charmed my darkest hour
It's close again and things are not the same
I remember you, you're the one who came
Crawling from the past, like a falling flame
Did you hold it down, or give yourself away
Did you hold it back, or open up the gates
To call a flood to sweep it up
Or drown it in the rain
I remember you, you're the one who came
Falling from the past, like a falling flame
I never chose to be this way, to be alone
There never was another choice, there never was
As the rain pours down
Washes out my thoughts of you
And the hurling sound
It's wallows up your name
I remember you, you're the one who came
Falling from the past, like a falling flame
I remember you, I remember you
Like a falling flame,like a falling flame
I remember you, I remember you...

My very ordinary sanguinary thoughts
Make you feel insecure
I don't care any more
Did my opinions kill your reputation
Ripped your elegant plans
That's the way that I am
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely days
I just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your own
Running round in syharitic circles
But the ghosts in your path
They were there from the start
Wrapped around your need to feed your ego
Lost yourself in the race
And the hunger remains
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely days
I just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your own
You want it (you got it)
You want it (you got it)
You want it (you take it)
Then you're sorry
You do it all again tomorrow
No one cares and no one follows
You want it (you got it)
You want it (you got it)
You want it (you take it)
Then you're sorry
Swallowing the same excuses
Falling in the same holes
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely days
I just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your own
I just wanna know
Are you waiting for something
When your world is in darkness
When you're alone

Today Tomorrow Sometime Never


Today I can't seem to find what i'm searching for,
Oh well maybe tommorrow,
I wait, devious thoughts, but no inspiration at all,
I have shut down.

Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days,
When everyone falls,
Segregation someone to blame but the problems remain,
When everyone falls.

Somewhere looking for shelter i still can't find myself,
I am alone,
Aware is it my colour or culture who can tell,
Should we be hated for ourselves,
Where should we go.

Generations lost in the haze of these apathy days,
When everyone falls,
Segregation someone to blame, but the problems remain,
When everyone falls.

Are you with me sometime or never,
Are you with me sometime or never,
Or never, never, never,
Don't let me down.

Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days,
When everyone falls,
Segregation, someone to blame, but the problems remain,
When everyone falls,
Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days,
When everyone falls.

Today tommorrow sometimes never,
Today tommorrow sometimes never.

Today tommorrow sometimes never,
Today tommorrow sometimes never,
Today tommorrow sometimes never

Father Ruler King Computer


Is it wrong to be alone,
An adventure of my own,
A celebration of myself and me,
Discovering what i can be,
The half a couple fantasy.

Oh luck is on my side,
I celebrate my life,
Don't try to come,
Don't pin me down with vows and flowers.

I was brought up, I've been told,
That a husband is the goal,
What connotations in these loaded words,
A spinster and a batchelor,
I am whole all by myself,
I don't need nobody else.

Oh luck is on my side,
I celebrate my life,
Don't try to come,
Don't pin me down with vows and flowers.

Oh luck is on my side,
I celebrate my life,
Don't try to come,
Don't pin me down with vows and flowers.

Hello destiny is this what you want from me,
Don't anybody try to stop me.

Oh luck is on my side,
I celebrate my life,
Don't try to come,
Don't pin me down with vows and flowers.

Oh luck is on my side,
I celebrate my life,
Don't try to come,
Don't pin me down,
Don't pin me down.

Bellyache


Impotence, the price of a dark affair,
It's more than a bellyache,
There's something alive in here.

What do I, what do I care now that it's over,
What do I care I, what do i care now that it's over.

Splinters...shatter my one track mind
I lie on a sea of nails and thorns
Spitting out the same old line.

Oh. what do I, what do I care now that it's over,
What do I care I, what do I care now that it's over.

Now you shoot me down,
Serenade my ears my heart i'm falling falling,
Echoing your sound.

Winter's breath all fall down,
Spin me out and spin me round,
Enter darkness enter lies, oh no.

What do I, what do I care now that it's over
What do I care I what do I care now that it's over
Now you shoot me down, serenade my ears my heart
I'm falling, falling, echoing your sound.

Taste of you


Now the fire has gone away,
I face you with a broken pen,
And sympathy and gratitude,
dissolve into disaray.
I relied, undisguised,
Followed all you'd say,

Was your weakness momentary,
You're devotion temporary.

It's a question of taste,
Like a slap in the face,
Let the vain do what they do,
Did you laugh at my innocence.

Custom made but gone astray,
Erase you with a pencilhead,
I'm bulletproof now I hide,
But somehow i was happy then,
do you know, how lost, how lost, how lost,

Was your weakness, momentary,
Your devotion, temporary.

It's a question of taste, like a slap in the face,
It's a question of taste, let the vain do,
What they do, did you laugh at my innocence.

I don't want to live forever, I just want some... ohohohoh
I don't want to live forever, I just want some...ohohohoh

Call Me Names


I say i've been meaning to move your way,
I hope that no one will make fun of me,
I go live in a new society, I wanna live in it, live in it,
Wanna learn, wanna live, live wanna learn,
Wanna live it it, live in it, oh i'm ready to learn.

I don't know,is it the same for everyone,
Maybe that i've done something wrong,
Why do they call me names.

Outside, will you come out and play with me,
I've been scrubbing at my skin you see,
But the colour still remains on me,
I wanna be the same, be the same,
Wanna be, wanna be the same as you,
Wanna be the same, be the same,
Oh i'm ready to go.

I don't know, is it the same for everyone,
Maybe that i've done something wrong,
Why do they call me names.

Why do you call me names X4
Call me names X11
Why do you call me names X2
Why, call me names
Oh why, call me names.

Close...But


You're moving in a circle,
I'm coming on in a little dizzy spells,
And the room is all forlorn,
We could be stuck in substance hell,
Some more of this is what we need,
So hand in hand and off we sway.

I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you,
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you.

Your face is taking pictures of itself,
I close my eyes and sighs explode,
We sellotape the telephone,
And all the little voices grow,
Some more of this is what we need,
So hand in hand and off we sway.

I'm not that close, i'm not that close to you, oh oh oh,
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you,
It's only the state I'm in and i'm about to come down,
It's only the mess within in about to come out.
La la la la la,la ....

It's only the state I'm in, I'm about to come down,
It's only the mess within is about to come out,
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you,
I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you.
No

Cold Feet Warm Heart


You were grounded,
Hadn't eaten or slept for days,
When I found you,
You're washed out,
Your life, your loves,
Everyone founders,
But you are a spell that i'm under.

Alive, live for the rest of your life,
You're alive, live for the rest of your life,
It's the way it goes.

You were wounded,
Suck the poison from your vein,
Sow a seed for you,
A fever once again,
Your life, your death,
Everything's wrong,
But you are the heart of this song.

Alive, live for the rest of your life,
You're alive, live for the rest of your life,
You're alive, live, live, live, la la la la la la live,
You are alive, you are alive.

It's the way it goes,
It's the way we are,
It's the way we chose,
It's the way we are.
..

My life your death,
Everyone founders,
But you are a spell that i'm under.

Alive, live for the rest of your life
You're alive, live for the rest of your life
You're alive, live, live, live, la la la la la la live,
You are alive, you are alive.

Scream


What's it all about ah ha ha,
Spent my whole life praying for a chance to be here,
And things are not the same as expected,
It's been a hard time.

Oh to be wrong,
There's no heaven in the sky,
Have you ever,
Well here's your chance and you can't tell me
This is wrong
There's no heaven in the sky
Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever
Cared to scream.

First you steal my breath ha ha ha,
And now i'm short on trust,
I stand up for the test,
And then I lie down.

Oh to be wrong,
There's no heaven in the sky,
Have you ever,
Well here's your chance and you can't tell us,
This is wrong,
There's no heaven in the sky,
Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever
Cared to scream,
Cared to scream.

Let me take you down,
'Cos i feel divine,
Like some holy cow,
On a fallen shrine,
Like a waterfall,
Made of alcohol
Oh why, tell me why.

Waiting for a friend ah ha ha,
It's been a long time,
I'm waiting here again,
Such a long time.

Long, Long, Long,
Long, Long, long,
You, oh you bring me down,
You, you kill me,
You kill me,
You kill me.
