America your head's too big, Because America, Your belly's too big And I love you, I just wish you'd stay where you is In America, The land of the free, they said, And of opportunity, In a just and a truthful way But where the president, Is never black, female or gay, And until that day You’ve got nothing to say to me, To help me believe In America, It brought you the hamburger, Well America you know where, You can shove your hamburger And don't you wonder, Why in Estonia they say, Hey you, Big fat pig You fat pig, You fat pig Steely Blue eyes with no love in them, Scan The World, And a humourless smile, With no warmth within, Greets the world And I, I have got nothing, To offer you No-no-no-no-no Just this heart deep and true, Which you say you don't need See with your eyes, Touch with your hands, please, Hear through your ears, Know in your soul, please For haven't you me with you now? And I love you, I love you, I love you, And I love you, I love you, I love you |

I was a good kid
I wouldn't do you no harm I was a nice kid with a nice paper-round Forgive me any pain I may have brung to you with God's help I know I'll always be near to you but Jesus hurt me when he deserted me / but I have forgiven Jesus for all the desire He placed in me when there's nothing I can do with this desire I was a good kid through hail and snow I'd go just to moon you I carried my heart in my hand do you understand? do you understand? but Jesus hurt me when he deserted me, but I have forgiven Jesus for all of the love He placed in me when there's no-one I can turn to with this love Monday - humiliation Tuesday - suffocation Wendesday - condescension Thursday - is pathetic by Friday - life has killed me by Friday - life has killed me Ooh, pretty world Ooh, pretty world Why did you give me so much desire? when there is nowhere I can go to offload this desire Why did you give me so much love in a loveless world when there is no-one I can turn to to unlock all this love and why did you stick me in self-deprecating bones and skin Jesus - do you hate me? Why did you stick me in self-deprecating bones and skin do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me? do you hate me? |

There is something I wanted to tell you, It's so funny you'll kill yourself laughing But then I, I look around, And I remember that I am alone, Alone. For evermore The tile yard all along the railings, Up a discoloured dark brown staircase Here you'll find, despair and I, Calling to you with what's left of my heart, My heart, For evermore Drinking tea with the taste of the Thames, Sullenly on a chair on the pavement Here you'll find, my thoughts and I, And here is the very last plea from my heart My heart. For evermore, Where taxi drivers never stop talking Under slate grey Victorian sky, Here you will find, despair and I And here I am every last inch of me is yours, Yours, For evermore Your leg came to rest against mine, Then you lounged with knees up and apart And me and my heart, we knew, We just knew, For evermore Where taxi drivers never stop talking, Under slate grey Victorian sky Here you'll find, my heart and I, And still we say come back, Come back to Camden And I'll be good, I'll be good, I'll be good, I’ll be good |

On returning, I can't believe this world is still turning, The pressure's on, Because the pleasure hasn't gone And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've done And I'm, Not looking for, Just anyone On competing, Oh, when will this tired heart stop beating?, It's all a game, Existence is only a game And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've done And I'm, Not looking for, Just anyone I'm, Slipping below the water line, I'm, Slipping below the water line Reach for my hand, And, And the race is won Reject my hand, And, The damage is done I'm, Slipping below the water line I'm, Slipping below the water line The woman of my dreams, She, She never came along The woman of my dreams, Well, There never was one And I'm, Not sorry for, For the things I've said There's a wild man in my head, There's a wild man In my head |

There’s a place in the sun, For anyone who has the will to chase one And I think I've found mine, Yes, I do believe I have found mine, so Close your eyes, And think of someone, You physically admire And let me kiss you, Let me kiss you I've zig-zagged all over America, And I cannot find a safety haven Say, would you let me cry, On your shoulder I've heard that you’ll will try anything twice Close your eyes, And think of someone, You physically admire, And let me kiss you, Let me kiss you But then you open your eyes, And you see someone, That you physically despise But my heart is open My heart is open to you |
