It was all once bright jewels
And glittering sand The oceans have ravaged And strangled the land Waste fills the temples, Dead daughters are born The presses are empty The editors torn Whose husband was the first to fall? Who died the worst death of them all? How many splinters in each separate band? How many stations in the final hand? Now gather up sea shells, And write down brave words Your prayers are unanswered, Your idols absurd The seaweed and the cobweb, Have rotted your sword Your barricades broken, Your enemies Lord. |

Cellar full of diamonds, turret full of gold
All for a mermaid's locket, too much to hold Drink the seals' blood from the ocean, Drink the whole ocean dry Steal the moonshine from the night-time, Steal the sun from the sky Black-skinned warrior, Zulu Queen Sold for a silver dollar, shipped across the sea Worked like a Mexican donkey, Used like a hole in the ground Branded her skin like she didn't feel a thing Crying without a sound |

Tulips lips oh Luskus Delph
Your baking breath breeds body 'x' With silken measures try to gauge The inside sweetness of your cave. Peach preserve your simmering jewel Hid away like orphans' gruel Help me find the widow's crack Make me stick like ceiling wax Almond eyed my turkish pearl Burn me up sweet oyster girl Shove me in your steaming vat Make me split like chicken fat |

Climbing out of open windows
Crashing down from broken stairs Keeping watch on smoking cinders Falling over burning chairs Tossed and crossed and screwed in transit broken , splintered, bruised and thrown Badly shattered, gale force frighty Rrushed across and shown alone Speech reduced by poor relations Strung from weeks of self abuse Chopped up, churned out weeks of greazy Spark plugs burned up, power's fused |

I will meet you on the other side of the moon
The doctors say they must operate soon But there's no knowing what they'll find when they open up the wound I will meet you on the other side of the moon I will meet you at the bottom of the sea We will lie inside the ocean and scheme Our friend the arab will guide us while we dream I will meet you at the bottom of the sea |

Skeptic at the feast in ashes
Huntsmen at the voyeurs' ball Funeral parlour guests invited Mourning poorly worn by all Old and mouldy words of passion Savage Rose destroyed them all Wrote her fate in neon captions Slender sender made me crawl Playmate of the Mouth expected Passionata bless the small Baby sandwich soaped for comfort Slippery sliding ten feet tall Playmate of the Mouth expected Passionata bless the small Baby sandwich soaped for comfort Slippery sliding ten feet tall |

Poor Mohammed at the peep show
Kick the beggar down the stairs Can't keep guard, he's old and feeble Steal his books, burn his prayers Poor Mohammed at the keyhole Sit him by the kitchen door Slop his food all around the table Let him lick it off the floor Put Mohammed in the cellar Keep him there 'til half past ten Ties some bacon to his beard Let the rats out on him there |
