are sitting, reclining in
the back row of your mind,
i think thats what you'll find
yes, there are gods and monsters
yes, there are
gods and monsters
yes, there are gods and monsters
OVER
MY SHOULDER
shut
your mouth, and watch my lips
can't you feel the healing finger tips
coming down, on you like rain
so tell me now
where do we remain?
over my shoulder it goes
and
where it lands, you don't want to know
i used to work night and day
nobody
listened to a word i'd say
i didn't care who knew me then
someone stupid asked if we were friends, well
over my shoulder it goes,
back
to a bar, we both used to know
shut your mouth, you watch
my lips
can't you feel the healing finger tips
coming down, on you like rain
so tell me now where do we remain?
over my shoulder it goes
and
where it lands, you don't want to know
over my shoulder it goes
and
where it lands, you don't want to know
AN ORDINARY GIRL
from an ordinary house, in
an ordinary world
from an ordinary town, there came an ordinary girl
wore a face that looked surprised, a book
of dog eared rhymes
she ever made a sound, never said a word
nothing was ever seen, nothing was ever heard
from
an an ordinary town, and an ordinary girl
she's feeling outrageous, so daft and courageous
she's laughing, flirtacious, while
falling unconscious
she's selfish and needy, she's wanton and greedy
she's mugging her lovers, she's bleeding the buggers
from below
in an ordinary house, in an ordinary town
upon an ordinary street, nothing was ever found
that ordinary
girl who never made a sound
she's up in the attic, she's bristling with static
her beauty's vampiric, so solemn
and stoic
she's wanton, she's needy, she's selfish and greedy
she's mugging her lovers, she's bleeding the buggers from
below
the ones she's been kissing, all strangely've gone missing
on a day when the weather, was stormy, untethered
'd'you
see them?', no never, they all went together
they all went together, with the ordinary girl
THE STARS LOOK FAMILIAR
and
i dreamed of the stars so much, they seem familiar
like once what was your lovers touch, just reached back to kill you
and
if you ever go astray, i'll say that i knew you
tomorrow's the same as yesterday, so what good will that do you?
to fall upon ourselves each
night,
and crawl like vampires from the light
later on well well they all say,
they never cared much anyway
i've dreamed of myself so much,
i now seem familiar
like once what was my lovers touch, reached out to thrill you
and if we ever go astray, i'll say
that i knew you
tomorrow's the same as yesterday, what good will that do you?
you're on your marks and off
your face
hung out in some exotic place
and in your hand but out of reach
once more you go into the breach
we fall upon ourselves each night
and crawl like vampires from the light
later on then they all say
they never
made much anyway
and i've dreamed of the stars so much, that they seem familiar
like once what was your lovers touch, just reached back
to kill you
but if you ever went astray, i'd say that i knew you
tomorrow's the same as yesterday, so what good will
that do you?
you're on your marks and off your face
hung out in some exotic place
but out of reach, within your hand
something
you don't understand
STRANGE WITHOUT YOU
you know the faces,
you know the places,
you know the places where the faces
fit
you always wanted,
to never say it,
and now you wonder, well is this it?
you're always screaming, dreaming
strange without you
without you
you know the numbers,
you dream and slumber,
you've got the faces and the photographs
you always want it,
but never say it,
and now you wonder, well what do i have?
you're always screaming, dreaming
strange without you
without you
strange without you
strange without you
strange without you
strange without you
without you
strange without you
strange without you
strange without you
strange without you
without you
STRAY
time has moved so fast, but now there does not seem to be any
once it felt that there
was more than plenty
i do believe that something, somewhere sent me
to you, a stray
and the bold raging flame
of your heart is making me stay
and i admit, that i have spent some time in confusion
not knowing what
is, or is not illusion
riddled with myself and destruction
a stray,
and the bold raging flame of your heart is making
me stay
in flux, we move, we crawl across the sky like the weather
to think that you once thought that i
was clever
but i was do or die, not now or never
a stray,
still the bold raging flame of your heart is
making me stay
HONG KONG LULLABY
SAND AND GLUE
making
it stick, drip upon drip
is that what you do, with sand and glue?
put out the light, let me see
you tonight
'cos that's what i'll do, with you
making it stick, drip upon
drip
is that what you do, with sand and glue?
don't put out the light, let
me see you tonight
'cos that's what i'll do, with you
what good is god or laughter?
if
you don't know what you're after, who
makes up the things that you do?
gutless and over-reaching
blessed
and always preaching, who
makes up the things that you do?
making it stick, drip upon
drip
is that what you do, with sand and glue?
don't put out the light, let
me see you tonight
'cos that's what i'll do, to you
i'll tell you what i think's
funny
you've got the looks and money, you
make up the things that you do
godless and without meaning
nothing
left to believe in, who
makes up the things that you do?
making it stick, drip upon
drip
is that what you do, with sand and glue?
don't put out the light, let
me see you tonight
'cos that's what i'll do, to you
AVENUE OF HOPE
along
the avenue of hope
the footsteps falter, fingers grope
and the days, stretch out beneath the sun
no-one's born, no-one dies,
no-one loves, so no-one cries
and we wait to see just what we will become
don't let me falter, don't let me ride
don't let the earth in me subside
let me see just who i will become
you're like the clouds in my home town
you just grow fat, and hang around
and your days, stretch out beneath the
sun
no-one's born, no-one dies,
no-one loves, so no-one cries
and we wait to see just what we will become
don't let me borrow, don't let me bring
don't let me wallow, don't make me sing
let me see just who i will become
don't let me falter, don't let me hide
don't let someone else decide
just who or what i will become
don't make 'em borrow, don't make 'em bring
don't let them wallow, don't let them sing
let them stretch out beneath
the sun
DEAD
MEN'S CIGARETTES
woke up this morning, for someone to set you free
turned round here today, to find that someone
was me
and we smoke, dead men's cigarettes
and we choke, on the bitter black regrets,
of ourselves - we've found no-one
else
