In a taxi chasing for the sun,
All around us strangers everyone,
With no hope for what they hope for,
We could drive all of our tears away.

Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho.

In a taxi ride that ends too soon,
The city skyline tries to kick the moon,
We have no time for what they wait for,
We can drive all of our tears away.

Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho.

You and I against the walled in generation,
You and I could kick the walls away,
We have no time for what they wait for,
We can run fast we can run far.

Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho run run away,
Maybe we could run away,
Oh oh ho.

Got a temper in the style of a bomb,
Got his friends in his pocket,
Or safe behind bars,
All the local boys know what he's done.

He turns if on, he turns it on, he turns it on.
Same boys doing it for themselves,

Safe white you're paying out for your health,
They're the kings of the kerb,
And everybody knows what they're worth.

Sugar smile savvy,
The king of the kerb,
Keeps the order in this part of the town,
All the shadows in the alley,
The shapes at the bar,
Like to service him when he does the round.

He turns if on, he turns it on, he turns it on.
Same boys doing it for themselves,
There's somebody out there doing it for you,
Safe white you're paying out for your health,
They're the kings of the kerb,

Safe from ham and safe from greed,
A little pretection is at that you need,
Safe from ham and safe from greed,
They're just a racket machine.

Same boys doing it for themselves,
There's somebody out there doing it for you,

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna know everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself.

All is fair in love and war,
Or so they say and so the saying goes,
But I've seen more broken hearts,
Than you can count the bullets in a war,
Oh what do I know,
There's gotta be so much I don't know.

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself.

What is life apart from memories or
Dreams and friendships we have known
And it smells childhood tales
Contemplating clothes that you have worn
Oh what do I know
There's gotta be so much I don't know

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself.

Never wanted many things,
Except the chance to learn,
From my mistakes
Funny how you never learn,
But know them when they,
Come around again,
Oh what do I know,
There's gotta be so much I don't know.

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what life is,
I wanna try everything,
I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise,
I wanna know what love is,
Is it something I do to myself,
Something I do to myself,
Something you do to yourself.

In and out of prison,
Sitting in a pit of a cell,
Lick the blood of the wall,
Razor blade love letter hell,
So you left me there,
Didn't care that they'd break down the door,
Were you really late,
Did you run away,
Left me to be caught.

Where are you now?,
Where are you now?,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine.

In and out of trouble,
Pushed in a school full of fools,
I'm a natural animal,
Bent by the rules,
You know what I've done,
It's in everyone,
Lurking in the cold,
And you taught me all that I've ever known,
Why let me go?.

Where are you now?,
Where are you now?,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine,
You're supposed to be a friend of mine.

Save the life of my own,
Save the life of my own,
Where are you now?,
Where are you now?.

Here it comes the fools parade,
Another clueless masquerade,
And they're way too slow,
A waste of space,
Yes they're way too slow,
Get out of the way.

Go away,
In my way,
Go away,
In the way oh.

Here we go a suckers ride,
Hearts and minds are paralyzed,
And they're way too stupid,
They'll be just fine,
Yes they're way too stupid,
A waste of time,
Everybody's looking for something,
Everybody's looking for clues,
And they're way too late,
They missed the news,
And they think they're great,
With their fucked up points of view.

Go away,
In my way,
Go away,
In the way oh.

All because you thought for yourself now,
Naughty girl you thought for yourself now.

Go away,
Go away.

She leaves her brains at the door,
She drops her guts on the floor,
She only listens out for everyday noises,
She very calmly ignores,
The littie things she abhors,
She's made her mind up to be tidy.

It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change.

He keeps his fingernails neat,
He cleans the car once a week,
He keeps an eye out for resistitle bargains,
But everynight in his sleep,
He dreams of sex on the street,
He longs for pantyhose and roses.

It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It will change, it could never,
It could change, change,
Oh!.

All these years, all this time,
Learn to suffer, compromise,
Turn away, tolerate,
Learn to suffer what you hate.

And it could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It could change, it will never,
It will change, it could never,
It could change, change.

You got me walking alone,
You got me walking alone,
You got me walking alone,
You got me walking alone.

You should have been a rambler,
A counterfeit gambler,
Would you steal the sunflowers for me,
I see you've been fighting,
With molotov writing,
They tried to drag you under, I see.

Did they try to tell you you're strange,
Did they try to push you away,
Hold on.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
TiII the world remembers your name,
Till you found of the sight what you see.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Something hot in a cold country.

Hold on to your spirits,
You're a pain, not a poet,
You're special and they know it,
They can see,
They throw a net that pins you to the ground,
Don't let their blindness bring you down,
Be stubborn and enioy it like me.

Did they try to tell you you're strange,
Did they try to push you away,
Hold on.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
TiII the world remembers your name,
Till you found the fire that you see.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Something hot in a cold country.

I won't see you falling,
Hold on Hold on.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Till you find out the sight that you see.

Feed the fire, fan the flame,
Till the world remembers your name,
Something hot in a cold country.

I won't see you falling,
Hold on.

What a nice surprise,
Well have I spoilt your appetite,
And I told you once,
I told you once,
So let me tell you twice,
I wanted to say,
A toast to emotion,
Raise your glasses high,
And turn them this way,
A balance of hormones,
That make you feel like no one else,
Make you just the sane.

Here's to love, here's to hate,
Here's to all the things that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word,
Here's to fear, here's to fate,
Here's to all the things that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word oh oh.

It's coming loud and clear,
God I fancy you my dear,
Well I might be wrong,
I might be wrong,
I might need glasses all along,
My deepest emotions,
Nothing more than chemical equations,
Symphonies of stimulants,
Swimming round in a beating gland,
Really caused a traffic jam.

Here's to love, here's to hate,
Here's to everything that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word,
Here's to fear, here's to fate,
Here's to all the things that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word,
Here's to love, here's to hate,
Here's to everything that makes me realise,
This is a four letter word.

Inside it harbours,
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
I'd like to have more,
In control, I've lost it,
l'd like to try it again,
It warms inside me,
We're moving one step closer each time.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.

We fall, slow motion,
I taste your breath in my veins,
Like waves, vibrations,
It's coming up again,
Let me climb inside you,
Caress your fever tongue,
Spread my wings around you,
And we can slide.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway,
Everyone knows.

I've always craved,
I tried to feed the hunger of an empty grave,
You've shown me secrets I've not forgotten,
l'll give you all the love that I take,
That I take.

Inside it harbours,
Desire bruises my skin,
So near I'm hungry,
We're moving one step closer each time.

There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway,
There's nobody like you,
Nobody like you,
Nobody can touch you,
Nobody like you anyway oh anyway.

There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh,
There's nobody like you,
Can you can you can oh oh oh.

In the year when your bicycle broke,
You were crying in the yard,
But the world was a glorious game,
New adventures stole your heart.

It will come, it will go,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to.

In the year when the future was lost,
You were fighting in the class,
Headed west with your wits and snarl,
Left your parents in the past,
'78 was the year you explored,
Tore your clothes and shaved your head,
Joined a band with a broken down van,
Thought your life was really swell.

It will come, it will go,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to,
You only full for what you really want to.

Save it all, save it all,
Save it all and want your tears away,
Save it all, save it all,
Save it all and want those tears,
It has gone, it has gone,
But you hold on to what you know,
You play your part,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to,
You play your part,
You only full for what you really want to.

High above the roof tops,
Higher than the milky way,
Slipping through the hour glass,
Shooting up the desert plain,
You are one life older than before,
But you can't stop the chill,
Now you're falling in slow motion,
Though the air is still.

If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.

You are on the outside,
Hands upon the window sill,
I am on the inside,
Carving up the hunters kill.

If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.

Cruising on a missile,
Cruising on a desert plain,
Wading through a minefield,
Wading through the monsoon rain,
Surfing on an oilspill,
Surfing on a perfect wave,
Porn upon the airwaves,
Rituals of the mating game.

If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way,
Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way.

Here and now,
We are alone,
Time she will hold her breath,
Only the worms and angels,
Know our names,
But they have not found us,
Although they surround us,
I feel the distance closing.

Come along,
For you and I know,
We've lived through the centuries,
We've ridden the darkest horses,
All our lives,
We hunted our enemies,
We fought with a fallacy,
It's time we were all God's children.

Far away,
The galaxies soar,
The stars are exploding still,
I wish we could fly away,
Fly away.

Here and now,
For you and I know,
True love is deathless,
These crumbling days are ending,
By my side,
Let's walk in the garden,
We'll sleep in the ivy,
We'll be with the worms and angels.

Stood up at a border street
A souped up strut on swollen feet
My loss remembered incomplete
What memory knows I can't repeat
Offered army soul salvation
Sandwich choice of God and nation
Haloed voices, chiselled faces
Fill my head with empty spaces

Out of the breakdown of the whole
Back to the choices on repeat
Out of a life put on hold

Once again a bulldog baby
Classified as cheap and lazy
Inner pity meat mutation
Pay the price for approbation
Welcome to the new dictators
Power, drugs and imitators

Out of the breakdown of the whole
Back to the choices on repeat
Out of a life put on hold

Mother's dressed in alligator
All good children love to hate her

Out of the breakdown of the whole
Back to the choices on repeat
Out of a life put on hold
Into the fallout of belief

Save your point of view
For the manic charm that he puts you through
When he wears your pearls, your ruby dress
And he looks so good with his sunken chest
There's a certain charm
To the pretty boy that is on my arm
He's my double friend, a boy and a girl
when he says:

Paint my face, lick your mouth
Fake a yawn and we'll go out and glow
We're on our way to somewhere in particular
I'll take you somewhere, where you haven't been
And I'll show you a good time, like you've never seen
Here comes the big rush

There's a special ring
To his Cuban heels and his six-pack swing
His mother's clothes are his new disguise
And his good advice when he says:

Vanity's a virtue, lets no one in to hurt you
I'll take you somewhere, where you haven't been
And I'll show you a good time, like you've never seen
Here comes the big rush

You're one of the boys
Pump that pipe dream, sell you something
New, new, new
We're on our way to somehwere in particular
I'll take you somewhere, where you haven't been
And I'll show you a good time, like you've never seen
Here comes the big rush

You're one of the boys
Pump that pipe dream, sell you something
pump that pipe dream, sell you something
New new

Iris Art


Shattered glass, shooting stars, silver sparks
Come and shine on me
Take your time, don't hurry baby
Break a smile, when you come to me

I'm up on a high
Catch me if you fall
Up on a high
Your love fills me like a waterfall

Iris art, skin on skin, let me in
Take a ride with me
Take a trip, don't worry baby
Love the way we satisfy a need

I'm up on a high
Catch me if you fall
Up on a high
Catch me if you fall
You love fills me like a waterfall

Love. Love. Love. Love.
Love. Love. Love. Love. Love.

Slaughterhouse nursery rhyme
Numb it with your anodyne
Seraphim serpentine
Wrap me in your anodyne heart

I'm up on a high
Catch me if you fall
Up on a high
Catch me if you fall
You love fills me like a waterfall

The World Is Flat


It is not too late to carry on
So you've made mistakes
And here's another one
Oh but you deserve another chance
Chase it round until you face yourself

The world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
It really helps to know the way

What if you take more than you deserve
What if you give all and you get nothing back
Sell your soul not your stereo
Take your favourite songs and sail off

The world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
The world is right and we are mad
And world opinions where it's at
Don't rate the score don't take the blame
The world is flat and we're insane

I won't be sad I won't be sorry
I've no regrets and i don't worry
I'll roll the sail and i won't let go
I'll ride the wave until tomorrow

There are some who do and some do not
There are some who can't
And we're the other ones
Shape your fate, let your body go
Take your favourite songs and sail away

The world is flat and we are insane
And we have fallen off again
The world is right and we are mad
And world opinions where it's at
Don't rate the score don't take the blame
The world is flat and we're insane

lalalalalalala..., lalalalalalala...

I know there's a certain amount
To what you're thinking
My hopes never seem to amount
To more than stopping smoking

Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better oh yeah

Heroes never seem
To allow for self-expression
Lovers stick around
To allow what they think you're missing

Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway

Looking around
To avoid what's in front of you
Good intentions
Wrapped round like some old sweater
A vain hope
That it might be good for you

You mind is made
Make your mind up
Make your mind up
Make your mind up
We like to make the same mistakes

Sunshine
A ray of hope in a hopeless situation
Suntanned
Your reward for the hopeful hours that you spend
Burning

Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone knows better. I'll do it anyway
Everyone thinks they know better
I'll do it anyway

Looking around
To avoid what's in front of you
Good intentions
Wrapped round like some old sweater
A vain hope
That it might be good for you
Your mind is made

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new

Every wide open space
It's the gaping holes that get to you
They frighten you
An echo of your emptiness
Every lie that you've fed
You can kiss my open spaces
I am safe from you
I'm better now, I'm better now

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new

Every scan I've erased
Leave a memory that will prey on you
An overspill
I hope it will, I hope it will
All the time I have wasted

Tasted Bitterness
Now I confess, you waste my space
At any time, at any rate

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new

Now you're up against a wall
It's the other side that scares you
And you're groping through the hole
And you're hoping for a way out
Your strength is on it's last legs
You could be somewhere else
Instead you're blinded by the way out
The way out
And it's right here

I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get wired on something new
I wanna get high on something
I wanna get high on something

I get it on
When I lay my fingers on
Let me drift away
Take me to a place I have known before
Let me hear the words you know I adore
Let me slip away to a world I know

When you sing
Oh oh oh oh take me
I am a slave to your charms
Turn it on

And I wanna celebrate
I can hear your song
Rushing through my veins, it surrounds me now
Touching me inside, I can ride the sound

When you sing
Oh oh oh oh take me
I am a slave to your charms
Turn it on

Can I lay my fingers on?
Soaking in the way you shine
Your rhythm slides around my mind
I've really got it now
Serenades that nearly split my senses
Oh so special
Turn it on

When you sing
Oh oh oh oh take me
I am a slave to your charms
Turn it on

And I wanna celebrate
Get it on
Get it on
Get it on
Get it on

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.

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.

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.

Got a temper in the style of a bomb,
Got his friends in his pocket,
Or safe behind bars,
All the local boys know what he's done.

Safe while you're paying out for your health,

And everybody knows what they're worth.

Keeps the order in this part of the town,
All the shadows in the alley,
The shapes at the bar,
Like to service him when he does the round.

on.

They're just a racket machine.
