Bellyache
Impotence, the price of a dark affair, It's more than a bellyache, There's something alive in here. What do I, what do I care now that it's over, What do I care I, what do i care now that it's over. Splinters...shatter my one track mind I lie on a sea of nails and thorns Spitting out the same old line. Oh. what do I, what do I care now that it's over, What do I care I, what do I care now that it's over. Now you shoot me down, Serenade my ears my heart i'm falling falling, Echoing your sound. Winter's breath all fall down, Spin me out and spin me round, Enter darkness enter lies, oh no. What do I, what do I care now that it's over What do I care I what do I care now that it's over Now you shoot me down, serenade my ears my heart I'm falling, falling, echoing your sound. |

Call Me Names
I say i've been meaning to move your way, I hope that no one will make fun of me, I go live in a new society, I wanna live in it, live in it, Wanna learn, wanna live, live wanna learn, Wanna live it it, live in it, oh i'm ready to learn. I don't know,is it the same for everyone, Maybe that i've done something wrong, Why do they call me names. Outside, will you come out and play with me, I've been scrubbing at my skin you see, But the colour still remains on me, I wanna be the same, be the same, Wanna be, wanna be the same as you, Wanna be the same, be the same, Oh i'm ready to go. I don't know, is it the same for everyone, Maybe that i've done something wrong, Why do they call me names. Why do you call me names X4 Call me names X11 Why do you call me names X2 Why, call me names Oh why, call me names. |

Close...But
You're moving in a circle, I'm coming on in a little dizzy spells, And the room is all forlorn, We could be stuck in substance hell, Some more of this is what we need, So hand in hand and off we sway. I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you. Your face is taking pictures of itself, I close my eyes and sighs explode, We sellotape the telephone, And all the little voices grow, Some more of this is what we need, So hand in hand and off we sway. I'm not that close, i'm not that close to you, oh oh oh, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you, It's only the state I'm in and i'm about to come down, It's only the mess within in about to come out. La la la la la,la .... It's only the state I'm in, I'm about to come down, It's only the mess within is about to come out, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you, I'm not that close, I'm not that close to you. No |

Cold Feet Warm Heart
You were grounded, Hadn't eaten or slept for days, When I found you, You're washed out, Your life, your loves, Everyone founders, But you are a spell that i'm under. Alive, live for the rest of your life, You're alive, live for the rest of your life, It's the way it goes. You were wounded, Suck the poison from your vein, Sow a seed for you, A fever once again, Your life, your death, Everything's wrong, But you are the heart of this song. Alive, live for the rest of your life, You're alive, live for the rest of your life, You're alive, live, live, live, la la la la la la live, You are alive, you are alive. It's the way it goes, It's the way we are, It's the way we chose, It's the way we are. .. My life your death, Everyone founders, But you are a spell that i'm under. Alive, live for the rest of your life You're alive, live for the rest of your life You're alive, live, live, live, la la la la la la live, You are alive, you are alive. |

Give Her A Gun
Let the fear dislocate, Lest we frown upon the female agressor, Makes no sense, goes against the gender, Let her anger curse the years of oppression, Blame the mother, sell the sister, Before she blows you away. Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone. In a lifetime full of changes, A woman's group is still a second-class convention, Look around who has the power, Am I a big mouth with a fix of paranoia, On your side, on your side, Not here for the ride. Won't someone give her a gun,won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone. Oh oh a gun. Half the population, one percent of wealth, Half the population, one percent of wealth, Blame the mother sell the sister, Blame the mother, sell the sister, Oh before I blow you away. Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone, Won't someone give her a gun, won't someone. |

Scream
What's it all about ah ha ha, Spent my whole life praying for a chance to be here, And things are not the same as expected, It's been a hard time. Oh to be wrong, There's no heaven in the sky, Have you ever, Well here's your chance and you can't tell me This is wrong There's no heaven in the sky Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever Cared to scream. First you steal my breath ha ha ha, And now i'm short on trust, I stand up for the test, And then I lie down. Oh to be wrong, There's no heaven in the sky, Have you ever, Well here's your chance and you can't tell us, This is wrong, There's no heaven in the sky, Have you ever, have you ever, have you ever Cared to scream, Cared to scream. Let me take you down, 'Cos i feel divine, Like some holy cow, On a fallen shrine, Like a waterfall, Made of alcohol Oh why, tell me why. Waiting for a friend ah ha ha, It's been a long time, I'm waiting here again, Such a long time. Long, Long, Long, Long, Long, long, You, oh you bring me down, You, you kill me, You kill me, You kill me. |

Taste of you
Now the fire has gone away, I face you with a broken pen, And sympathy and gratitude, dissolve into disaray. I relied, undisguised, Followed all you'd say, Was your weakness momentary, You're devotion temporary. It's a question of taste, Like a slap in the face, Let the vain do what they do, Did you laugh at my innocence. Custom made but gone astray, Erase you with a pencilhead, I'm bulletproof now I hide, But somehow i was happy then, do you know, how lost, how lost, how lost, Was your weakness, momentary, Your devotion, temporary. It's a question of taste, like a slap in the face, It's a question of taste, let the vain do, What they do, did you laugh at my innocence. I don't want to live forever, I just want some... ohohohoh I don't want to live forever, I just want some...ohohohoh |

Today Tomorrow Sometime Never
Today I can't seem to find what i'm searching for, Oh well maybe tommorrow, I wait, devious thoughts, but no inspiration at all, I have shut down. Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls, Segregation someone to blame but the problems remain, When everyone falls. Somewhere looking for shelter i still can't find myself, I am alone, Aware is it my colour or culture who can tell, Should we be hated for ourselves, Where should we go. Generations lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls, Segregation someone to blame, but the problems remain, When everyone falls. Are you with me sometime or never, Are you with me sometime or never, Or never, never, never, Don't let me down. Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls, Segregation, someone to blame, but the problems remain, When everyone falls, Generations, lost in the haze of these apathy days, When everyone falls. Today tommorrow sometimes never, Today tommorrow sometimes never. Today tommorrow sometimes never, Today tommorrow sometimes never, Today tommorrow sometimes never |

Stood up at a border street
A souped up strut on swollen feet My loss remembered incomplete What memory knows I can't repeat Offered army soul salvation Sandwich choice of God and nation Haloed voices, chiselled faces Fill my head with empty spaces Out of the breakdown of the whole Back to the choices on repeat Out of a life put on hold Once again a bulldog baby Classified as cheap and lazy Inner pity meat mutation Pay the price for approbation Welcome to the new dictators Power, drugs and imitators Out of the breakdown of the whole Back to the choices on repeat Out of a life put on hold Mother's dressed in alligator All good children love to hate her Out of the breakdown of the whole Back to the choices on repeat Out of a life put on hold Into the fallout of belief |

That drifts into a naked eye How extraordinary, things are happening Can't stop myself, i'm sinking into broken ice I've a head that burns Can I hold my head up There's a storm around me Love its violence, a fever rush A push, a shove inside Do I wanna do what I do I wanna loosen the noose And take a tumble as I roll the dice I've a head that burns And I hold my head up high, because I can And if I drive myself distracted That is just the way I am If it pleases me to waste may time Then try to understand If I lose myself in what I do That's just because I can Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close To knowing what I am Are you turning corners, are you coming closer Close enough to take you for a ride Do you ever do what you fear You ever lived for the thrill Enough to fill you up inside I've a head that burns And I hold my head up high, bacause I can And if I drive myself distracted That is just the way I am If it pleases me to waste may time Then try to understand If I lose myself in what I do That's just because I can Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close To knowing what I am |

Washes out my thoughts of you And the hurling sound It's wallows up your name Iconoclast, the hidden past you left before you came You charmed my darkest hour It's close again and things are not the same I remember you, you're the one who came Crawling from the past, like a falling flame Did you hold it down, or give yourself away Did you hold it back, or open up the gates To call a flood to sweep it up Or drown it in the rain I remember you, you're the one who came Falling from the past, like a falling flame I never chose to be this way, to be alone There never was another choice, there never was As the rain pours down Washes out my thoughts of you And the hurling sound It's wallows up your name I remember you, you're the one who came Falling from the past, like a falling flame I remember you, I remember you Like a falling flame,like a falling flame I remember you, I remember you... |

Make you feel insecure I don't care any more Did my opinions kill your reputation Ripped your elegant plans That's the way that I am Darling, your lonely nights Have turned into lonely days I just wanna know Are you scared of the real thing Are you searching for sympathy Walking a wire on your own Running round in syharitic circles But the ghosts in your path They were there from the start Wrapped around your need to feed your ego Lost yourself in the race And the hunger remains Darling, your lonely nights Have turned into lonely days I just wanna know Are you scared of the real thing Are you searching for sympathy Walking a wire on your own You want it (you got it) You want it (you got it) You want it (you take it) Then you're sorry You do it all again tomorrow No one cares and no one follows You want it (you got it) You want it (you got it) You want it (you take it) Then you're sorry Swallowing the same excuses Falling in the same holes Darling, your lonely nights Have turned into lonely days I just wanna know Are you scared of the real thing Are you searching for sympathy Walking a wire on your own I just wanna know Are you waiting for something When your world is in darkness When you're alone |

All around us strangers everyone, With no hope for what they hope for, We could drive all of our tears away. Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho. In a taxi ride that ends too soon, The city skyline tries to kick the moon, We have no time for what they wait for, We can drive all of our tears away. Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho. You and I against the walled in generation, You and I could kick the walls away, We have no time for what they wait for, We can run fast we can run far. Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho run run away, Maybe we could run away, Oh oh ho. |

High above the roof tops,
Higher than the milky way, Slipping through the hour glass, Shooting up the desert plain, You are one life older than before, But you can't stop the chill, Now you're falling in slow motion, Though the air is still. If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way, Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way. You are on the outside, Hands upon the window sill, I am on the inside, Carving up the hunters kill. If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way, Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way. Cruising on a missile, Cruising on a desert plain, Wading through a minefield, Wading through the monsoon rain, Surfing on an oilspill, Surfing on a perfect wave, Porn upon the airwaves, Rituals of the mating game. If you close your eyes than I can take you all the way, Let me close your eyes and I will take it all the way. |

What a nice surprise,
Well have I spoilt your appetite, And I told you once, I told you once, So let me tell you twice, I wanted to say, A toast to emotion, Raise your glasses high, And turn them this way, A balance of hormones, That make you feel like no one else, Make you just the sane. Here's to love, here's to hate, Here's to all the things that makes me realise, This is a four letter word, Here's to fear, here's to fate, Here's to all the things that makes me realise, This is a four letter word oh oh. It's coming loud and clear, God I fancy you my dear, Well I might be wrong, I might be wrong, I might need glasses all along, My deepest emotions, Nothing more than chemical equations, Symphonies of stimulants, Swimming round in a beating gland, Really caused a traffic jam. Here's to love, here's to hate, Here's to everything that makes me realise, This is a four letter word, Here's to fear, here's to fate, Here's to all the things that makes me realise, This is a four letter word, Here's to love, here's to hate, Here's to everything that makes me realise, This is a four letter word. |

Here we go a suckers ride, Hearts and minds are paralyzed, And they're way too stupid, They'll be just fine, Yes they're way too stupid, A waste of time, Everybody's looking for something, Everybody's looking for clues, And they're way too late, They missed the news, And they think they're great, With their fucked up points of view. Go away, In my way, Go away, In the way oh. All because you thought for yourself now, Naughty girl you thought for yourself now. Go away, Go away. |

I wanna do great things,
I don't wanna compromise, I wanna know what life is, I wanna know everything, I wanna do great things, I don't wanna compromise, I wanna know what love is, Is it something I do to myself. All is fair in love and war, Or so they say and so the saying goes, But I've seen more broken hearts, Than you can count the bullets in a war, Oh what do I know, There's gotta be so much I don't know. I wanna do great things, I don't wanna compromise, I wanna know what life is, I wanna try everything, I wanna do great things, I don't wanna compromise, I wanna know what love is, Is it something I do to myself, Something I do to myself. What is life apart from memories or Dreams and friendships we have known And it smells childhood tales Contemplating clothes that you have worn Oh what do I know There's gotta be so much I don't know I wanna do great things, I don't wanna compromise, I wanna know what life is, Is it something I do to myself, Something I do to myself. Never wanted many things, Except the chance to learn, From my mistakes Funny how you never learn, But know them when they, Come around again, Oh what do I know, There's gotta be so much I don't know. I wanna do great things, I don't wanna compromise, I wanna know what life is, I wanna try everything, I wanna do great things, I don't wanna compromise, I wanna know what love is, Is it something I do to myself, Something I do to myself, Something you do to yourself. |

In the year when your bicycle broke,
You were crying in the yard, But the world was a glorious game, New adventures stole your heart. It will come, it will go, But you hold on to what you know, You play your part, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to. In the year when the future was lost, You were fighting in the class, Headed west with your wits and snarl, Left your parents in the past, '78 was the year you explored, Tore your clothes and shaved your head, Joined a band with a broken down van, Thought your life was really swell. It will come, it will go, But you hold on to what you know, You play your part, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to, You only full for what you really want to. Save it all, save it all, Save it all and want your tears away, Save it all, save it all, Save it all and want those tears, It has gone, it has gone, But you hold on to what you know, You play your part, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to, You play your part, You only full for what you really want to. |

Sugar smile savvy,
The king of the kerb, Got a temper in the style of a bomb, Got his friends in his pocket, Or safe behind bars, All the local boys know what he's done. He turns if on, he turns it on, he turns it on. Same boys doing it for themselves, There's somebody out there doing it for you, Safe white you're paying out for your health, They're the kings of the kerb, And everybody knows what they're worth. Sugar smile savvy, The king of the kerb, Keeps the order in this part of the town, All the shadows in the alley, The shapes at the bar, Like to service him when he does the round. He turns if on, he turns it on, he turns it on. Same boys doing it for themselves, There's somebody out there doing it for you, Safe white you're paying out for your health, They're the kings of the kerb, And everybody knows what they're worth. Safe from ham and safe from greed, A little pretection is at that you need, Safe from ham and safe from greed, They're just a racket machine. Same boys doing it for themselves, There's somebody out there doing it for you, Same boys doing it for themselves, There's somebody out there doing it for you, Same boys doing it for themselves, There's somebody out there looking it for you, Safe white you're paying out for your health, They're the kings of the kerb, They're the kings of the kerb, They're the kings of the kerb, And everybody knows what they're worth. |

In and out of prison,
Sitting in a pit of a cell, Lick the blood of the wall, Razor blade love letter hell, So you left me there, Didn't care that they'd break down the door, Were you really late, Did you run away, Left me to be caught. Where are you now?, Where are you now?, You're supposed to be a friend of mine, You're supposed to be a friend of mine. In and out of trouble, Pushed in a school full of fools, I'm a natural animal, Bent by the rules, You know what I've done, It's in everyone, Lurking in the cold, And you taught me all that I've ever known, Why let me go?. Where are you now?, Where are you now?, You're supposed to be a friend of mine, You're supposed to be a friend of mine. Save the life of my own, Save the life of my own, Where are you now?, Where are you now?. |

Inside it harbours,
Desire bruises my skin, So near I'm hungry, I'd like to have more, In control, I've lost it, l'd like to try it again, It warms inside me, We're moving one step closer each time. There's nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway, There's nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody can touch you, Nobody like you anyway oh anyway, Everyone knows. We fall, slow motion, I taste your breath in my veins, Like waves, vibrations, It's coming up again, Let me climb inside you, Caress your fever tongue, Spread my wings around you, And we can slide. There's nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway, There's nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody can touch you, Nobody like you anyway oh anyway, Everyone knows. I've always craved, I tried to feed the hunger of an empty grave, You've shown me secrets I've not forgotten, l'll give you all the love that I take, That I take. Inside it harbours, Desire bruises my skin, So near I'm hungry, We're moving one step closer each time. There's nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody like you anyway, oh anyway, There's nobody like you, Nobody like you, Nobody can touch you, Nobody like you anyway oh anyway. There's nobody like you, Can you can you can oh oh oh, There's nobody like you, Can you can you can oh oh oh, There's nobody like you, Can you can you can oh oh oh. |

She leaves her brains at the door,
She drops her guts on the floor, She only listens out for everyday noises, She very calmly ignores, The littie things she abhors, She's made her mind up to be tidy. It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It could change. He keeps his fingernails neat, He cleans the car once a week, He keeps an eye out for resistitle bargains, But everynight in his sleep, He dreams of sex on the street, He longs for pantyhose and roses. It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It will change, it could never, It could change, change, Oh!. All these years, all this time, Learn to suffer, compromise, Turn away, tolerate, Learn to suffer what you hate. And it could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It could change, it will never, It will change, it could never, It could change, change. You got me walking alone, You got me walking alone, You got me walking alone, You got me walking alone. |

You should have been a rambler,
A counterfeit gambler, Would you steal the sunflowers for me, I see you've been fighting, With molotov writing, They tried to drag you under, I see. Did they try to tell you you're strange, Did they try to push you away, Hold on. Feed the fire, fan the flame, TiII the world remembers your name, Till you found of the sight what you see. Feed the fire, fan the flame, Till the world remembers your name, Something hot in a cold country. Hold on to your spirits, You're a pain, not a poet, You're special and they know it, They can see, They throw a net that pins you to the ground, Don't let their blindness bring you down, Be stubborn and enioy it like me. Did they try to tell you you're strange, Did they try to push you away, Hold on. Feed the fire, fan the flame, TiII the world remembers your name, Till you found the fire that you see. Feed the fire, fan the flame, Till the world remembers your name, Something hot in a cold country. I won't see you falling, Hold on Hold on. Feed the fire, fan the flame, Till the world remembers your name, Till you find out the sight that you see. Feed the fire, fan the flame, Till the world remembers your name, Something hot in a cold country. I won't see you falling, Hold on. |

Here and now,
We are alone, Time she will hold her breath, Only the worms and angels, Know our names, But they have not found us, Although they surround us, I feel the distance closing. Come along, For you and I know, We've lived through the centuries, We've ridden the darkest horses, All our lives, We hunted our enemies, We fought with a fallacy, It's time we were all God's children. Far away, The galaxies soar, The stars are exploding still, I wish we could fly away, Fly away. Here and now, For you and I know, True love is deathless, These crumbling days are ending, By my side, Let's walk in the garden, We'll sleep in the ivy, We'll be with the worms and angels. |
