2005: The Lyrics O Yr Life!

paranoidwriter waves hello

19:46 / 09.07.05

I was going to choose that Pink Floyd lyric from 'The Wall': "I've got nicotine stains on my fingers, got those swollen hand blues ... and that is how I know, when I pick up the phone, there'll be no-one home."

But then I remembered Storybook International:

"I'm a storyteller, and my stories must be told.
I have many stories, tales for both the young and old.
On my many travels I have seen many faces,
Many tales have I from many places.
In Russia I am Ivan, in England I am John.
In Germany I'm Johan, In Sweden I am Jan.

I'm a storyteller, and my stories must be told.
I have many stories, tales for both the young and old.
Through my many travels I have gathered these tales,
To teach you good sense, when all else fails.
Sometimes there are tears, sometimes there is laughter,
But always, a happily ever after."

I used to love that TV program.

here's the silhouette, the face always turned away
the bleeding color gone to black, dying like a day
couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
shook your head to say no, no, no
and stopped for a spell and stayed that way
oh well, okay

I got pictures, I just don't see it anymore
climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
with the one I keep where it never fades
in the safety of a pitch black mind
an airless cell that blocks the day
oh well, okay

if you a get a feeling the next time you see me
do me a favor and let me know
'cause it's hard to tell
it's hard to say
oh well, okay
oh well, okay
oh well, okay

shut your mouth, can't you see that I'm ignoring you?
your lips are moving up and down, you're trying to get a message through
but here and now I'm absolutely miles away
I'm thinking of a million things and none of what you're trying to say
you've got to put me out (of) your misery (misery)
you're talking and you're talking and you
ne-ver shut - up and you're fucking up
you're wearing on my patience, on my sanity (sanity)
(here's 50p, go and phone someone that gives a shit)

'cos I'm not alone, but by myself (aa-aa), so go and talk to someone else

CHORUS:
I've got conversation (o-oh) constipation (o-oh), just took a small vacation
in silence (o-oh) and thunder (o-oh), and your mouth just put me under, stall the rage

'cos
all of the good boys and girls in the world do the channel bop (x3)

late at night I lock myself inside my private room
until the fighting die(s) and normal service was resumed
and now I'm back, I guess I never really went away
it's kinda cold in here but it's a welcome stay

So when I choke on the silage that you're puking out (puking out)
d'ya mind if I see you as vibrato potato (ta-ta)
shit out of things that we can talk about (talk about)
so let's try 'goodbye', see y'round mind if I

[au revoir], closing down, I tried to warn you but you're in blab town

CHORUS

cold patootie tango

'cos I'm not alone, by myself, so go and talk to someone else

Couldn't you wait
For some time to elapse
Check it before the trap was set
And it collapsed like a
Big net grass green rug screen wait
Did you test the water with a big toe dip
Don't put all your trust in that triple-timing bitch
Could you elaborate
On how you tempt fate
Couldn't you wait

Couldn't you wait
To go on your foggy trips
You were in the corner doing back flips
I saw sweat on the wheelchair grips slip
Couldn't you wait
You never cooked up your medicine then
Said the aspirin made your thick blood thin
Every dinner was a capricorn a crown of thorns
Couldn't you wait

Yeah couldn't you wait
You were funny to a fault
Went too heavy on the salt
Can you stand up straight
While I illuminate a few of your flaws
I thought you said you would never get your teeth capped
How would you like to get your face slapped
Did it hurt to take the time to make the new girl happy as a clam
In a pair of tight 501s
Is your fresh-faced neighbor any fun at all
Do you still go off
Like a gun that's gotten stuck on stun
That's permanently stalled

Do you still think you're god
Is your first day on the job even over yet
Is the summertime in heaven grand
Is it fifty-nine past the eleven hand
Oh couldn't you wait
For the midnight train at least
All these seagulls are insane beasts
They taste of troubles in my mouth
Like a candy cane
Couldn't you wait
Until the thought had passed
That our love would never last
How could you devastate
Someone you claim not to hate
And couldn't you have waited
Couldn't you have waited
Couldn't you have waited
Couldn't you wait

Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to

Shyness is nice, and
Shyness can stop you
From doing all the things in life
You'd like to

So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?

Coyness is nice, and
Coyness can stop you
From saying all the things in
Life you'd like to

So, if there's something you'd like to try
If there's something you'd like to try
ASK ME - I WON'T SAY "NO" - HOW COULD I ?

Spending warm Summer days indoors
Writing frightening verse
To a buck-toothed girl in Luxembourg

ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME

Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together

Nature is a language - can't you read ?
Nature is a language - can't you read ?

SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME
ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME

Because if it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb, the Bomb
That will bring us together

If it's not Love
Then it's the Bomb
Then it's the Bomb
That will bring us together

SO ... ASK ME, ASK ME, ASK ME

Broke account so I broke a sweat
I've bought some things that I sort of regret about now
Broke your glasses, but it broke the ice
You said that I was an asshole and I paid the price
Broken hearts want broken necks
I've done some things that I want to forget but I can't
Broke my pace and ran out of time
Sometimes I'm so full of shit that it should be a crime
Broke a promise cause my car broke down
Such a classic excuse it should be bronze by now
Broke up, and I'm relieved somehow
It's the end of the discussions that just go round and round
And round, and round, and round, and round,
And round, and round it shouldn't have been anyway
No way, no way, no way, that's right
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, uh no

Bury the hatchet with a smile and a curse
The world is big enough for both of us
The pack's been shuffled now- we've got different hands
There's different enemies for both of us now
There's no-one round here who remembers those times
When we were both kings of our own different sides
Was I the punk who stole your thunder
Or was it all just the other way round?

Now it's gone, done, the feud is over
Funny how vendettas just turn into a bore
Gone, done, the feud is over
I really can't be bothered anymore

Bury the hatchet with a smile and a curse
The world is big enough for both of us
But oh how that bitching was fun while it lasted
Until I got to realise no-one really cared

So it's gone, done, the feud is over
Funny how vendettas just turn into a bore
Gone, done, the feud is over
I really can't be bothered anymore

It's such a waste of my time
Thinking of you
And all that stuff that I hear
Which may or may not be true
Well, I never did like you- probably never will
But I guess you can live with that fact pretty well
People get to drinking, they get sentimental
Maybe I'm a bastard human after all

Bury the hatchet with a smile and a curse
The world is big enough for both of us
The pack's been shuffled now- we've got different hands
And this whole thing is just ridiculous

Pretty much me and pretty much because I can't get it out of my head - share my pain :

Da - ddy Yan- kee !

zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,

Que se preparen que lo que biene es pa que le den, Duro!

Mamita yo se que tu no te me va quitar(duro!)
Lo que me gusta es que tu te dejas llevar (duro!!)
todo los weekenes ella sale a vacilar (duro!!)
mi gata no para de janguiar porque

A ella le gusta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!)
Como le encanta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina) 2x

Ella prende las turbinas,
No discrimina,
No se pierde ni un party de marquesina,
Se acicala hasta pa' la esquina,
Luce tan bien que hasta la sombra le combina,
asecina, me domina
janguea en carros, motoras y limosina,
Llena su tanque de adrenalina,
Cuando escucha el reggaeton en la cocina.

A ella le gusta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!)
Como le encanta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!) 2x

(yo!)Aqui yo soy de los mejores
No te me ajores
En la pista nos llaman "Los Matadores"
Tu haces que cualquiera se enamore
Cuando bailas al ritmo de los tambores
esto va pa'las gatas de to'colores
Pa' la mayores, pa' la menores
Pa' las que son mas zorras que los cazadores
Pa' la mujeres que no apagan su motores

Tenemo' tu y yo algo pendiente,
Tu me debe' algo y lo sabe',
Conmigo ella se pierde,
No le rinde cuentas a nadie 2x

zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
zumbale mambo pa' que mi gata prenda los motores,
Que se preparen que lo que viene es pa que le den, Duro!

Mamita yo se que tu no teme va a quitar (Duro!)
Lo que me gusta es que tu te dejas llevar (Duro!)
todos los weekenes ella sale a vacilar (Duro!)
mi gata no para de janguear porque

A ella le gusta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!!)
Como le encanta la gasolina (dame mas gasolina!!) 2x

You're keeping in step, in the line,
Got your chin held high and you feel just fine,
'cause you do, what you're told
But inside your heart it is black and it's hollow and it's cold,

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

What if this whole crusade's a charade,
And behind it all there's a price to be paid
For the blood, on which we dine
Justified in the name of the holy and the divine

Just how deep do you believe?
Will you bite the hand that feeds?
Will you chew until it bleeds?
Can you get up off your knees?
Are you brave enough to see?
Do you want to change it?

So naive,
I keep holding on to what I want to believe,
I can see,
But I keep holding on and on and on and on,

Will you bite the hand that feeds you?
Will you stay down on your knees?

The roll of distant thunder breaks
The afternoon of silence wakes
They hurry through from Petergate
As if they know this dance
In fury blind I drive at night
Across the moors, the open roads
Beneath the freezing starry skies
Racing in some trance
These cities are illusions of
Some triumph over Nature's laws
We've seen the iron carcass rust
And buildings topple into dust
And as the waters rise it seems
We cling to all the rootless things
The Christian lies, technology
While spirits scream and sing
Oh God I love the world

Well I never said I was a clever man
But I know enough to understand
That the endless leaps and forward plans
Will someday have to cease
You blind yourselves with comfort lies
Like lightning never strikes you twice
And we laugh at your amazed surprise
As the Ark begins to sink

This temple that is built so well
To separate us from ourselves
Is a power grown beyond control
A will without a face
And watching from outside I wish
That I could wash my hands at this
But we are locked together here
This bittersweet embrace
Oh God I love the world

And if one day the final fire
Explodes across the whitened sky
I know you've said you'd rather die
And make it over fast
With courage from your bravest friends
Waiting outside for the end
With no bitterness, but an innocence
That I can't seem to grasp
I know somehow I will survive
This fury just to stay alive
So drunk with sickness, weak with pain
I can walk the hills one last time
Scarred and smiling, dying slow
I'll scream to no one left at all
I told you so I told you so I told you so
Oh God I love the world

I Love The World- New Model Army

16:23 / 12.09.05

It's knowing that your door is always open
And your path is free to walk
That makes me tend to leave my sleeping bag
Rolled up and stashed behind your couch
And it's knowing I'm not shackled
By forgotten words and bonds
And the ink stains that have dried upon some line
That keeps you in the backroads
By the rivers of my mem'ry
That keeps you ever gentle on my mind

It's not clinging to the rocks and ivy
Planted on their columns now that binds me
Or something that somebody said
Because they thought we fit together walking
It's just knowing that the world will not be cursing
Or forgiving when I walk along some railroad track and find
That you are moving on the backroads
By the rivers of my mem'ry
And for hours you're just gentle on my mind

Though the wheat fields and the clothes lines
And the junkyards and the highways come between us
And some other woman crying to her mother
'Cause she turned and I was gone
I still might run in silence tears of joy might stain my face
And the summer sun might burn me 'til I'm blind
But not to where I cannot see you walkin' on the backroads
By the rivers flowing gentle on my mind

I dip my cup of soup back from the gurglin'
Cracklin' caldron in some train yard
My beard a roughning coal pile and
A dirty hat pulled low across my face
Through cupped hands 'round a tin can
I pretend I hold you to my breast and find
That you're waving from the backroads
By the rivers of my mem'ry
Ever smilin' ever gentle on my mind

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible either
A friend of a friend he got beaten
He looked the wrong way at a policeman
Would never have happened to Smeaton
And old Leodiensian
La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

I tried to get in my taxi
A man in a tracksuit attacked me
He said that he saw it before me
Wants to get things a bit gory
Girls run around with no clothes on
To borrow a pound for a condom
If it wasn't for chip fat, well they'd be frozen
They're not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

Watching the people get lairy
Is not very pretty I tell thee
Walking through town is quite scary
And not very sensible

La-ah-ah, la la lalala la
Ah-ah-ah, la la lalala la

I predict a riot, I predict a riot
I predict a riot, I predict a riot

And if there's anybody left in here
That doesn't want to be out there

I predict a riot, I predict a riot

Cut to now - after picking the glass off the ground
Cut to now - after shaking the thing for its sound
Do you see what the clock makes you do?
But I won't let this happen to you...

In a town where I lost every shirt on the fence
Cut to now - I am bleeding a trail through the lens
When I see what I now know was you
I was caught in the eye as you came
Pulled by my name up, on, and through

Traveling at godspeed over the hills and trails
I have refused my call
Pushing my lazy sails into the blue flame
I wanna crash here right now
The hourglass fills its sand, if only to punish you
For listening too long to one song...
Sing me Spanish techno

Cut to now, after wiring the thing to explode
Wired for sound, wide awake here for days in a row
Now we see what the engine can do
And I won't let this happen to you

Traveling at godspeed over the hills and trails
I have refused my call
Pushing my lazy sails into the blue flame
I wanna crash here right now
The hourglass fills with sand, if only to punish you
For listening too long to one song...
Sing me Spanish techno

get straight and wait here
while I try to find the exit sign
when will you stop asking strangers
no one wants what we want
keep one eye on the door
keep one eye on the bag
never expect to be sure who you're working for

you're working for the police and the private,
the pilots and the pirates
fingerprinted waiting for the train
the doctor, the writer, the hairdresser,
felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train

Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love
Lord, listen lover, we are all missing mama
Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love
Lord, listen lover, we are all missing something
I don't got

there's a place that ends here, I know
when they close the gates, I'll cry
so tired of never sleeping
the whole world wants what we're on

didn't make this up I learned, I learned it from a friend
my friend is coming clean, she told me
keep one eye on the bed, keep one eye on the door
never expect to be sure who you're working for

you're working for the police and the private,
the pilots and the pirates
fingerprinted waiting for the train
the doctor, the writer, the garbage collector
felt up and fingerprinted waiting for the train

Lord, lord, mother, we are all losing love
Lord, listen lover, we are all missing mama
Lord, lord mother, we are all losing love
Lord, listen lover, we are all missing love

got to get out
got to get to you

I SPEAK what's on my mind
My TEETH'll make you blind
My HEAT'll lay you down, whenever you come around
Forsaken out there mistreated your life'll be deleted
Cause I don't play dat, you know I don't play dat
Wherever you talkin noise is where you gon' lay at
I'm Supa Dupa Fly like Missy Missy
Before the fame came majors used to diss me
But now I'm on top, I'm hot I can't stop
Before my deal came my shows was sold out
Houses been on the hill, diamonds been in my grill
I'm trill like U.G.K., you know I keep it real
I'm who?

Any anyone who works with you will know just what I mean.

Bertha, lovely Bertha, sometimes I thing you're a dream,

When we work out what you have to do,

You can always turn the goods out, always turn the goods out,

We can depend upon you.

Clicking in the day and flashing in the night,

Your computer is shining brightly,

Some people say you've a mind of your own,

And I think that's very likely, likely.

You can always turn the goods out, always turn the goods out,

Burst into heaven
Kiss in the cotton clouds
Artic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Dreaming till the sun goes down
And night turns into day
Rooms are empty i've got plenty
You could move in right away

Seems like there's a hole, in my dreams
In my dream
In my dreams

Down through the heavens
Choke in the cotton clouds
Artic sheets and fields of wheat
I can't stop coming down
Your shrunken head
Looking down on me above
Send me home like an elephant stone
To smash my dream of love

Did your bed and bookshelf go
And run run run away
These four walls saw the rise and fall
And your midnight getaway
Seems like there's a hole, in my dreams
Or so it seems
Yet nothing means
anything
anymore

The rain is falling lightly on the buildings and the cars,
I've said goodbye to city friends, department stores and bars,
The lights of town are at my back, my heart is full of stars,
And I'm gonna be a country girl a-gain.

Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl a-gain.
With an old brown dog and a big front porch, and rabbits in the pen.
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green,
And I'm gonna be a country girl a-gain.

I've spent my time in study, oh I've taken my degree,
I've memorized my formulae, my A's and B's and C's,
But what I've learned came long ago, and not from such as these,
And I'm gonna be a country girl again.

Oh yes, I'm gonna be a country girl a-gain.
With an old brown dog and a big front porch, and rabbits in the pen.
I tell you, all the lights on Broadway don't amount to an acre of green,
And I'm gonna be a country girl a-gain.

I've wandered through the hearts of men, searchin' for a sign,
That here I might find happiness, I might find peace of mind,
The one who taught my lesson was the south wind through the pines,
And I'm gonna be a country girl again.

His wicked sense of humour
Suggests exciting sex
His fingers focus on her
Touches, he's Venus as a boy

He believes in beauty
He's Venus as a boy

He's exploring
The taste of her
Arousal
So accurate
He sets off
The beauty in her
He's Venus as a boy

Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along
Feels alright
When I drink to blur the day into the night

In blustery nights
And thru the rain
It's all alone
That I have sang this anguish to you
And you're to blame
I'm still the same
I'm still the same

Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along
Feels alright
When I drink to blur the day into the night

In a lovely hour
And in the room
It's into bloom
That I have coaxed your flower for me
And I'm to blame
You're still the same
You're still the same

Raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
Up, girl, and be glad you were not born a man

Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along
Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along

And like a star
That I have chose
To stand for me
And I have placed one eye on the sky
The sky's the same
The moon's to blame
The moon's to blame

Raise up girl and be glad you were not born a man
Up, man, and be glad you were not born a god

Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along
Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along
Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along
Sounds so wrong
But I need to fake the will to get along

animals
Gravenhurst

they descend upon the city like flies
spraying their eggs into a dead dog’s eyes
it’s England on a Saturday night
I wish I could be like them and I try
but I find it more rewarding to walk along the river
picturing my body discarded in the water
I wonder who will do it and I wonder what they’re doing right now

they opened up the sewers tonight
animals caged in their appetites
let loose upon the passer-by
and people like me are just parasites
take me to the river

I want to feel the water
closing in and helpless as you’re pushing my head under
I wonder if you’ll do it and I wonder what you’re doing right now at four am you’re lying right there
with urine and wine dried in your hair
I take you to the river
I want to show you something
I’m making a map from all the flowers I’m collecting
I wonder if I’ll do it and I wonder what I’m doing right now

What you don't understand is where all this is leading
When all of the signs you see still point to overload
As you reach out your hand a shattered picture's receding
Like tail-lights along that stretch of broken road
'Cause you've been to the past and it's just a reminder
A recollection of faces that will never come to call
When you've cut through the mask, when you've been through the grinder
Sometimes you forget that you had ever been there at all

Up here in Room 429
Seems like the world ain't so unkind
I want to take you to that empty room tonight

In the shadows of doubt, in the crush of an instant
Standing in the rain outside my door, hand on your knife
When you reach a brick wall, there is still a decision
Always thought if I had to lose I'd surely choose my life

Up here in Room 429
Seems like the world ain't so unkind
I want to take you to that empty room tonight
We'll tell the world outside the door
That we ain't never coming back no more
We're going to stay in here till we turn off the night
Till we turn off the night

City breathes so softly, everything is sleeping
I am at the window, silently watching
I can see you standing alone against the winter
I can hear you asking, but the streets they are not giving
Don't look to the ocean, restless in its dreaming
Don't look to the heavens, for they will tell you nothing
If living is for learning then dying is forgetting
Once we have forgotten then we can go on living

In a lifetime of hope, in a second of kindness
There is never a doubt that we are born and die alone
From within or without there's no way they can find us
When they knock at the door the lights are on but we ain't home

Up here in Room 429
Yeah the world ain't so unkind
I want to take you to that empty room tonight
We'll tell the world outside the door
That we ain't never coming back no more
I want to stay in here till we turn off the night
We're going to stay in here till we turn off the night
Till we turn off the night
Till we turn off the night

And he was walking in the garden
And he was walking in the night
And he was singing a sad love song
And he was praying for his life

And the stars came out around him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking at his song-bird
And he's looking at his wings

There, inside the garden
Came another with his lips
Said "won't you come and be my lover ?"
"Let me give you a little kiss"

And he came knelt down before him
And fell upon his knees
"I will give you gold and mountains
If you stay a while with me"

And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place

There, inside the garden
They kissed and the sun rose
And he walked a little further
And he found he was alone

And the wind it gathered round him
He was thinking of his sins
And he's looking for his song-bird
He was looking for his wings

And there was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place

There was trouble
Taking place
Trouble
Taking place

see the storm is broken
in the middle of the night
nothing left here for me
it's washed away
the rain pushes
the buildings aside
the sky turns black
the sky
wash it far
push it out to sea
there's nothing left here
for me
i watch it lift up to the sky
i watch it crush me
and then i die

speak to me baby
in the middle of the night
pull your mouth
close to mine
i can see the wind coming down
like black night
so speak to me
like the winds outside
it's broken up, pushing us
hear the rain fall
see the wind come to my eyes
see the storm broken
now nothing
speak to me baby
in the middle of the night
speak to me
hold your mouth to mine
'cause the sky is breaking
it's deeper than love
i know the way you feel
like the rains outside
speak to me

Moon's throwing daggers
At the targets on the street
Trucks wipe the sweat out of their eyes
The brain is making promises
The body cannot keep
You duck inside a doorway
And you change into your favourite disguise

Black hole in your pocket
But there's jingles up your sleeve
Goin' down like a pederast in a boy's school
And you wish that you could stop it
But the handle's out of reach
Sinkin' like a calliope in a whirlpool
Oh no...

And you're waiting for the green light
Hanging on for a cold opportunity
You're waiting for the green light
As every second of your life keeps slipping
The time keeps ticking
And the green light is looking like
It's never gonna come through for you

Time carves initials
Into the prison of your face
Creeping like a spy on broken glass
Cars kiss the tarmac
As they cut right to the chase
Cut-price epiphany
But somehow it just never seems to last

Black hole in your pocket
But there's jingles up your sleeve
Goin' down like a pederast in a boy's school
And you wish that you could stop it
But the handle's out of reach
Sinking like a calliope in a whirlpool
Oh no...

And you're waiting for the green light
Hanging on for a cold opportunity
You're waiting for the green light
As every second of your life keeps slipping
The time keeps ticking
And the green light is looking like
It's never gonna come through for you

You're waiting for the green light
You're waiting for the green light

cigarettes and chocolate milk
these are just a couple of my cravings
everything it seems i like's a little bit stronger
a little bit thicker
a little bit harmful for me

if i should buy jellybeans
have to eat them all in just one sitting
everything it seems i like's a little bit sweeter
a little bit fatter
a little bit harmful for me

and then there's those other things
which for several reasons we won't mention
everything about them is a little bit stranger
a little bit harder
a little bit deadly

it isn't very smart
tends to make one part so broken-hearted

sitting here remembering me
always been a shoe made for the city
go ahead, accuse me of just singing about places
with scrappy boys faces
have general run of the town
playing with prodigal songs
takes a lot of sentimental valiums
can't expect the world to be your raggedy andy
while running on empty
you little old doll with a frown

you got to keep in the game
maintaining mystique while facing forward
i suggest a reading of 'a lesson in tightropes'
or 'surfing your high hopes' or 'adios kansas'

it isn't very smart
tends to make one part so broken-hearted

still there's not a show on my back
holes or a friendly intervention
i'm just a little bit heiress, a little bit irish
a little bit tower of pisa whenever i see you
so please be kind if i'm a mess
cigarettes and chocolate milk

After the party, under the bed
Down where the bad dreams grow
You scrape at the embers that smoke in your head
'Cos it's twenty below
Ask me no questions, I'll tell you no jokes
We'll sleep by the wishing well
Over the rainbow, a shot in the dark
One more story to tell

Cause I, I still love you, Judas
I fell like a hammer for the spike
Remember when we shot them holes in the sky?
I, I still love you, Judas
As I walk along this lonesome road
Like a somnambulist on a wire
On a wire

Polish your pistol, shooting the breeze
Flash me your trademark smile
When you live by the ruler, you die by the inch
Every day is a mile
Tell me your story, shovel the dirt
Spin me a web of lies
I'd swallow anything offered as proof
That we're on the same side

Cause I, I still love you, Judas
I fell like a hammer for the spike
Remember when we shot them holes in the sky?
I, I still love you, Judas
As I walk along this lonesome road
Like a somnambulist on a wire
On a wire

But it's alright now
Because I really don't care anymore

Firewater- I Still Love You, Judas

Please could you stay awhile to share my grief,
For it's such a lovely day,
To have to always feel this way,
And the time that I will suffer less,
Is when I never have to wake.

Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness of darkness, forever,
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness of darkness, forever.

Those who have seen the needles eye, now tread,
Like a husk, from which all that was now has fled,
And the masks, that the monsters wear,
To feed, upon their prey.

Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness of darkness, forever,
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness of darkness, forever.

Doubled up inside,
Take awhile to shed my grief,
Always doubled up inside,
Taunted, cruel.

Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness the darkness, forever,
Wandering stars,
For whom it is reserved,
The blackness, the darkness, forever.

Standing
High above us all
At the edge of
The diving board

Smiling and waving
Before letting himself fall
The faintest splash
As the water engulfed him
It was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch

He was propably
The world's best diver
Probably
The world's best diver
He was
The world's
Best
Diver
Probably

Touching the bottom
He pushed away
With both legs

And cut through the surface
Like a fish

The faintest splash
As the water engulfed him
It was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch

I stay high above

He was
The world's
Best diver

But he could not swim

It was beautiful to watch
So beautiful to watch
