Recent years were unsung
I light 'em up Burning my horoscope Recent fears I've undone I give 'em up Sick of my bogus ghost Rising up it reached my highest line C'mon Daisy don't drown me this time I'm living in fits can't get myself ripped Don't make me no criminal I'm easily moved, it don't leave me no room Don't make me no criminal Rising up it reached my highest line I had bad ideas and ballast on my mind Now the sparks are gonna fly 'cos I'm turned on again Burning up the future I'm taking off I'm taking off Recent fears about love I string 'em up These are my robust ropes There'll be no more tears I'm unplugged Let's live it up Easy come easy go Falling down gave me my highest line So c'mon Daisy don't drown me this time Now the sparks are gonna fly 'cos I'm turned on again Burning up the future I'm taking off I'm taking off Falling down I reached my highest line I've got a good idea what breaks you makes you shine Now the sparks are gonna fly 'cos I'm turned on again Burning up the future Now the sparks are gonna fly 'cos I'm turned on again Turning on the boosters I'm taking off I'm taking off (so c'mon Daisy don't drown me this time) |

Fuel of fathers' sweat
Sweet like baby's breath Strong like superman Stinking up the streets I am The feeling does me in But here I go again I love gasoline I love gasoline Smooth like summer silk Sweet like mother's milk Warm like tenderness Perfume sprayed around my neck I know it makes no sense But here I go again I love gasoline I love gasoline Here comes the rush again Let me down easy Warm like summer breeze Flowing round your city Come on down with me I love gasoline I love gasoline |

Follow the lifeline I labelled so neat
Through every lifetime from scars that run deep Follow the love tracks unrivalled unmatched Book me the right train I'd love to nip back Set up high above the Pyrenees Set up high on the road of release My brain, my arms, my chain, my charms My aims, my itch, my foes, I've licked My bed of flame my name Spread myself round again Spilled out my guts again Think I might lay down again Stitch me up I'm torn again Follow the pipeline I laid it so deep It flows out my window it flows out to sea It curls round the mountain it takes up the slack Book me the right plane I long to nip back Set up high above the Pyrenees Set up high on the road of relief My lies, my lust, my truth, my trust My league, my school, my game, my rules My bed I've made, my grave Spread myself round again Spilled out my guts again Think I might lay down again Stitch me up I'm torn again My eyes, my hips, my face, my lips Are failing me Combined with mixed up living My victory is escaping me La La La The lifeline slips away |

She was my sunlight
She made my skin glow She had these bow legs I didn't want her to go Blue skies were turning red Learned my grade the hard way She loved me or so she said So I say We all believe What we want to believe in We like to dream What we want to believe in This is the real thing I stretched her dress tight I cut her hair low I made her speak right I didn't want her to go Grey skies beneath my feet I slipped on truth the hard way She preferred herself to me So I say We all believe What we want to believe in We like to dream And we want to believe it So we all believe What we want to believe in This is the real thing so dance Every woman and man In cloud cuckoo land |

I am a brute, but I abstain
I am foolish I am vain Yeah I'm a fan I am the brother of a famous man I am gorgeous I am right I have left this planet but I'll be back I am delicious I am crap I am all of that I am all of that I am smooth but I am crusted I am speechless I can be trusted I'm baby blue I am the nursery attached to you I've been happy I've been sad I graced this planet experienced that I've been set up I've been set back I've been all of that I've been all of that I'm enormous I am slight I have left this planet but I'll be back I am religious I am fat I am all of that I am all of that I am all of that And soon the time will come When everybody's somebody And nobody is anybody |

Give me soap to shave around
Give me soap to shave around With my guts exposed and slippy Don't let them rush me Don't hesitate Don't let them take me away There's nothing wrong There's a malady in everyone That keeps me away from the light Shine, I give my first story As I live the idle life The leaping color keeps your heart alive A creeping glow beside you lava like Shine you make your own glory Come on take the idle life A foreign guy I'm God's own prototype A blushing bride who loves an idle life Always above me I light the day Here rise the sun I embrace There's nothing wrong There's an apogee in everyone That keeps you awake and alive Shine, I gave my own story Now I live the idle life I know my foes may get me overnight I'm safe and dry I'm God's own prototype Shine, you crown your own glory Come on take the idle life Creeping color fills your heart tonight We see no others in our idle lives |

Keep it sweet
Florist of dreams A tangerine You're burning up The forest of love You're tangled up You're a weird child Like your dad was You're a bee sting You're a mad dog You're a fierce soul In your bad clothes Need some good luck In your mad love Keep it cheap The promise of peaks You've never seen You turned around Fountains of change You made your name What a name You're a weird child Like your dad was Can you be still You're a mad dog You're a fierce soul In your bad clothes Need some good luck In your mad love It's just your magic is more than electric It spins inside Take me home I'm staying up the road I'll let you know It isn't you I need a clear space To think it through I'm a weird child Like your dad was I'm a bad star You're a mad dog You're a queen Jane It's a hard slog I'm a pale saint In your mad love You're the May Queen I'm the magpie We're the twin sisters We're the real dreamers |

For years I avoided caffeine
For years I was clean I was calm and complete Then the world fell down round my ears Had a change in my state Bug eyed and awake I was grinding my teeth in my habitat I couldn't stand still I was running back But it was gone Smack smack smacking my hands Flap flapping my hands Lick licking my wounds Will it help me Rip rip ripping my skin Clip clipping my wings Pick picking my bones Will it help me Hip hip hip to the beat I can't find my own feet Can't see where I stand Ballad of a running man Jam Jam marathon man For years I was wrapped up in blue On sunny afternoons Sunbathed but unmoved On the ground I found me a stooge He was clear out of school With a theory to prove He said he understood so I told him It was just like I'd read in a magazine Said I thought it was weird to be stumbling And that it felt like a race I was running in That's already run Smack smack smacking my hands Flap flapping my hands Lick licking my wounds Will it help me Rip rip ripping my skin Clip clipping my wings Pick picking my bones Will it help me Hip hip hip to the beat I can't find my own feet Can't see where I stand Ballad of a running man Jam Jam marathon man |

Creme caramel, shy and shivering
Ring my bell so well There's something moving slowly over us Doesn't matter what you think or where you go The reason why I'm losing my crust A giddy contribution You are merely dealing just enough To keep the man alive And sanitized And keep a lid on his lust And your wedding night thighs Kept me alive All through the good times When the passion was ripe Creme caramel, shy and shivering Ring my bell so well Smooth and sweet and really unctuous And our love is mushed And boy I'm feeling really bruised I keep thinking my heart isn't true But it keeps the man alive I'll take an axe to that lie When I'm moody and nude And your wedding night thighs Kept me alive All through the good times And your river blue eyes Kept me alive All through the good times All through the good times When the passion was ripe |
