I am angry, I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin
I don't know what keeps me alive and kicking
I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit
I know beauty and I know a good thing when I speak it
This is a song from under the floorboards
Here is a song from where the wall is cracked
My force of habits, I am an insect
And I must confess, I'm very proud of that
I have known the highest and I've ...
The weather's variable so are you changes, changes
But I can't do a thing about the weather
Do you have your ticket?
Can you foresee changes, changes?
Another time when we might be together
You have a broken window
Through which the rain pours in my ear
This week's been all ears and edges, it's getting like a career
A chain of events, a change of heart
A chain of events, a change of heart
I wi...
Back to nature, I can't go on like this
I want to walk where the power is
Back to nature, I don't know where to start
Back to nature, I don't have that kind of heart
Back to nature, back to somewhere else
Back to nature and right back on top of yourself
Back to nature, I've got to look down
See where I am or just hit the ground
And I'm telling you
I know what you've been going through
In my he...
You love me because you're frightened
And I'm falling in love with you
Because I'm getting frightened
Of the things you somehow make me do
You love me because you're frightened
I can easily believe my eyes
Your fear is my finest hour
My fear is your disguise
Look what fear's done to my body
A frightening world
Is an interesting world to be in
In the forbidden city
Or on the roof of the world
O...
Here is the love of your life
Once again. once again
She fits the part
She fills the space
She'll never ever be out of place
She's got it all with her saintly face
Another sick monkey
With a saintly face
Here is the lie of the land
Once again, once again
You squeeze yourself
Out of your thin inner world
You squeeze yourself
Into the big wide world
It's all in the hands
Of your very best friend...
Once you had this promise
On the tip of your tongue
But it went without saying
It went on too long
All the straws you clutched at
Have burst into flames
And so you smile that way
Tantalizingly lame
The smart ones understood
How your heart bursts
Like a bottle of champagne
You're just desserts
The smart ones understand
You shouldn't settle for less
You're gonna forget yourself
In my happiness
K...
Bits of spirits were set on a carpet of carbon
Pieces of apes were placed in a time of ice and iron
'keep fit - survive'
Primitive jeeps crushed fossils and ancient bone
Chandelier-sized flowers aromatized pollen and chromosome
Puzzles grew on trees where mutilated fruit hung
Like the hats of inscrutable guests
Who'd sipped their soft drinks and sung:
'keep fit - survive'
'you won't recognise ...
I enter the room
Confident enough
For now I tread
A straight and narrow way
So I sleep soundly
A little blue in the face
Cut-out shapes
In secondhand daylight
Somewhere else
Something else
On my mind
She's caressing me
With the hidden hands
Of the only kind of violence
She thinks I'll understand
We've got them dancing
To all of our confessions
They don't know how
We rehearse our dreams
Somewhe...
Fred Jones was worn out
From caring for his often
Screaming and crying wife
During the day
But he couldn't sleep at night
For fear that she in a stupor from the drugs
That didn't ease the pain
Would set the house ablaze with a cigarette
It's always raining over the border
There's been a plane crash out there
In the wheat fields
They're picking up the pieces
We could go and look and stare
How many friends have we over there?
The border guards fight unconvincingly
Whatever we do it seems things are arranged
We always have to feed the enemy
You could dance for me and punch me through
Dance for me
You could dance for me and punch...
You're gonna give me immunity
You're gonna receive punishment
I'm gonna lose myself in you
Because you're not quite of this world
There will be rooms
Where we shouldn't meet
Times I want to screw you up
And leave you in the street
You know everybody
You don't know a thing
You watch me in you
But I know what you're really seeing
With the eyes of the world upon you
You leave nothing to my imagin...
Goldfinger
He's the man, the man with the Midas touch
A spider's touch
Such a cold finger
Beckons you to enter his web of sin
But don't go in
Golden words, he will pour in your ear
But his lies can't disguise what you fear
For a golden girl knows when he's kissed her
'Cause it's the kiss of death from
Mister Goldfinger
Pretty girl, beware of this heart of gold
His heart is cold
Golden words, h...
You think I'm a lame duck
I don't give a blue luck
I'm living like crazy
Driven to be lazy
I blush like a tomato
Pale as a chipped potato
You're a real peach
Just out of reach
We're all cooking the same goose
A recipe of fiction
I stew in my own juice
In another kitchen
You think I'm a lame duck
I don't give a blue luck
I don't give two hoots
You're too big for your bossy boots
The newcomer arrives
Possession and guilt in his face
Apologises to the customs man
For the gaping hole in his suitcase
Says 'i've seen where promises are made
I've seen how people are undone
It's always done
Man to man
One to one
I'm ditching an empty suitcase
I've been in storytown
I've been swimming in poisons
Been slowing up and down
I've known the eeriest wounds
The soul's long quarantine...
I wanted your heart
For the last time
I want to be in your bed
I want your words
To colour all that's been said
quot;i will love you when the devil is blindquot;
I wanted your heart
You didn't want mine
This is as close as I get
As I ever get
Falling for things
I never thought
I'd find myself
Falling for
As close as I get
Old ladies on the pavement
In the dense and empty hours
All as hard as n...
I'm such and such, I'm a scream
Bad choices take me to task you'll see
I'll take out the car
But nobody'll want to crash
Take me with you
I'm a party
I don't know where I've been
So all things being equal
I'm a party
I won't know where we're going
You could do me a favor
Do whatever you want to
I will let you hurt me
Because I know it hurts you
It hurts you
What you say goes
I'm a party
All ov...
Keep it in the dark
You say now you want to stay
Put on your clothes
I think you should go away
I can lose my way on the shortest of journeys
Keep it in the dark
There is no defeating it
Put on your clothes
Or I'm not eating it
I can lose my way on the shortest of journeys
I'm sick of working on the land
I wanna work with machines and look handsome
I have been indulging in ostentatious display
Doing little more than eat three square meals a day
And I've been shirking my duty
I've been sending gifts to carry favor
But because I love you and because you love me
A model worker, I'll willingly be
I need a holiday, I've not been well
Take me to the Brocade River Hote...
I believe all that I read now
Night has come off the corners
Shadows flicker, sweet and tame
Dancing like crazy mourners
A man with the hot dogs sells lemonade
Someone over there needs first aid
While me and the rest of the world
Await the touch of the motorcade
No one finds time to turn a blind eye
You can't be too careful nowadays
And my friend says
"Listen to the stupid things they're makin...
My mind
It ain't so open
That anything
Could crawl right in
The last place
To lose yourself
Is in the world
Where we all cling
Oh my lover
We are opening
Windows we see
All that we've seen
Overlooking
A vivid room
It is sunshine
Got things to do
My life
Happens around me
Your life
Happens around me too
My mind ...
The last place ...
Cling to it
I suspect you ain't so sweet
As the lust I'm concealing
My skin wants to crawl back home to ma
I've lost my way in my feelings
You always collect your fists
When my shadow falls upon your hands
You're just giving a body heat away
But they say you're a nice enough young man
I want to see you
Don't you want to see me?
I'm full of questions
To call a mystery
I want to see you
Don't you want to se...
You urban vision of loveliness
Moving scenes of skin
You understand the ways and means
Of city discipline
A structured life in some girls' rooms
Mirror glass and light
Outside the landscape of power
Dreams around appetites
They will show me what I want to see
we will watch without grief
we stay one step ahead of relief
you tell me we've been praying
for a bright and clever hell
I think we've been forced to our knees but I can't tell
Sometimes I forget that we're supposed to be in love
Sometimes I forget my position
It's so hot in here
What are they trying to hatch?
We must not be frail, we must watch
Now that I'...
Thunder shook loose hail on the outhouse again
Today, I bumped into you again
I have no idea what you want
But there was something I meant to say
As the day stops dead
At the place where we're lost
I will drug you and fuck you
On the permafrost
There's not much that I miss
I'm far too forgetful for that
Sugar's sweet some of the time
It's hard to keep some things in mind
As the day stops dead
...
Your clean living, clear eyed
Clever, level headed brother says
He'll put all the screws
Upon your newest lover
Buddha's in the fireplace
The truth's in drugs from outer space
Maybe it's right to be nervous now
Who are these madmen
What do they want from me
With all of their straight talk
From their misery
Everything'd be just fine
If I had the right pastime
I'd've been Raskolnikov
But Mother ...
Dashing through paradise
So polite in what I say
Lost in the edge I'm in
I want a world to give away
I know what's mine
You'll learn what's yours
I know what you want to see
You scratch my back and I grow claws
Falling in love awkwardly
Dancing in my own good time
My words stick out of your face
If you're not feeling so weak today
Somebody will take your place
I know what's mine
You'll learn w...
I brought your face down on my head
It was something I rehearsed in a dream
You're too good looking for your own damn good
And you don't know what it could mean
You've got me dying of thirst in the meantime
It even hurts when I scream
You've got me drowning and still in the meantime
You don't know what it could mean
Because in my drunken stupor
I've got to admire your ingenuity
And I nod my he...
This and that, they must be the same
What is legal is just what's real
What I'm given to understand
Is exactly what I steal
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I wormed my way into the heart of the crowd
I was shocked to find what was allowed
I didn't lose myself in the crowd
Shot by both sides
On the run to the outside of everything
Shot by both sides
They must have come to a secret u...
In this world of carelessness
There is delight, there is distress
A wilderness of mortal calm
Sometimes ease, sometimes alarm
Lead me to a new world of comfort
Lead me to a new world of comfort
Leave now quick, before you're missed
You can use the service lift
The neighbours're out on the morning shift
There needn't be the slightest risk
You know, we're lucky to be so important
You know, we're...
In the rush
The rush of my senses
In the heat
The heat of this moment
In the palace of nations
I think, I can love you out of weakness
In the heat of this moment
I stick myself in laughter
Run for it
I'm running away
Know it all
I will return again
Pushing myself so helpless
Hopeless
When I can love you
Out of weakness
Which of us is to blame
I'm stupid
I only know enough
To get out of the rai...
Suburban rhonda
Don't be so smart
Suburban rhonda
Don't act so sharp
Suburban rhonda
You'll wreck your heart
Suburban rhonda
You'll wreck your heart
You could be just vain and live alone
On separation street
But if you did you know your life
Would be incomplete
The tenements of disrepute
Don't eye them longingly
I want to be the one
To put you out of your misery
Suburban rhonda ...
We drank from cups on standard issue
Sofas under scaffolding
Informed sources said we were seen
By observers it's a meeting
I received an education
I was dominant for hours
I won myself a wealth of weapons
Super massive wealth
Under a sweetheart contract
Which clearly stated, ?Strength is always health?
I had one upper hand
I was dominant for hours
I want to be there
On the far side of sin
I'v...
You have put me in the pictures
In the pictures in which
My head is swimming
You were made for life
You're lost to the world
Very transparent, very selfish
Beautiful, powerful careless women, watch it
And my body screams, "Yes"
And my mind just keeps its peace
I clam up, I calm down
My body screams, "Yes"
And my mind just keeps its peace
I clam up, calm down
We embrace during the journey
Such ...
Looking at the devil
Grinning at his gun
Fingers start shaking
I begin to run
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Bullets start chasing
I begin to stop
Win to wrestle
I was on the top
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
I want to thank you falettinme be mice elf agin
Thank you for the party
I could never stay
A many things is on my mind

This man is at the door of hell...somehow it seems to be his destination after a life of subtle stubbornness. he doesn't expect to find himself waking up out of a dream...he doesn't expect to pi
Imself and wake up and that kind of thing...in fact, the thought of that happening makes him smile. he's just mildly surprised to find himself there at the door of hell.

I'm in a web
I tasted blood in the garden
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
So they hung science in my heart
I'm in a web
quot;your phoney ghosts went byquot; I laughed
I'm in a maze, I'm in a maze
quot;i dragged them out of the darkquot;
I'm open wide
I pressed thorns into my flesh
I am awake, I am awake
My eyes look like claws
I'm open wide
Man eating man eating man
I am awake, I am awake
My sick...
Laughter staggers on
In between their gags
Pounding their faces
He's on his last legs
Angels twitch nervously
The brave and the bold weep
We all want to know who
We should pay tribute to
Hey, good looker
Hey, good looker
You could tell me all about it
Go on, tell me all about it
Hey, good looker
Hey, good looker
You could tell me all about it
Go on, tell me all about it
I know your secrets
I k...
My lifetime's habits will remain
This crush of hearts won't go away
Tonight, one way, once and for all
Good times aren't possible today
I took a little poison
I took it carefully
It built for me
A house on fire
This poison takes after me
This poison came too far to fail
Desire unwinds in the last hour
Within, the bed is overturned
My host, the antidote is sour
I took a little poison ...
Now pu...
All police leave has been cancelled
We always imagine we're being followed
I saw an advert for ice cream
Seems it was eaten in the garden of eden
I bought you one
You licked it slowly
And I got that certain feeling of freedom
Then we listened closely to some mantovani
And waited for the cops to come
Time flies
Time crawls
Like an insect
Up and down the walls
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The conspiracy
Of silence ought
To revolutionize
My thought
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
The cold light of day
Pours out of me
Leaving me black
And so healthy
The light pours out of me
The light pours out of me
It jerks out of me
Like blood
In this still life
H...
You were never found to be backward
Or wanting in any way
You were hidden so cleverly in love
What scheme did you obey
And I know why you go so slow
You had such strange disappointments
Too bare against the paint
You knew the handle was broken
And your strong arm was faint
And I know why you go so slow
Your tired empire's fallen
Victim to your unease
You could make yourself so useful
If you'd ...
She's wearing the shoes today
She's kicking her dog in the snow
She bought all three yesterday
She's the happiest person I know
When she's in a desert
When she's face to face with the sky
She can cast all the shadow she needs
With her naked eye
In the corner of your eye
I'm loitering with intent
You can tell me to move on
Cos all of my moneys spent
You're not such a big girl
Small world isn't it
Ask me what I do
Sometimes I stand
Sometimes I sit
Now you tell me so
Its touch and go - for now
When I think this thorough
We'll touch and go - oh wow
You're living a big story
A party to all kinds of things
Inventing excuses
Discovering new...
Tv baby
I don't know what to think
My mind's on the blink
Tv baby tv baby tv baby tv baby
I'm taking the leap for you
Taking the leap for you
I leap for you
Tv baby-oh
Be looking out for you
You turn pandemonium
Into pantomime for one
Twenty years ago I used your soap
So what
You've got a name for it
Yesterday goes on and on
Inbetween the devil and the deep blue sea
You thrash about in your room
No space for thought
Look no strings, look no strings
No visible means of support
Twenty years ago I used your soap
How did you ever come to move a muscle in this space
The dollar's adrift...
I think of the distance
Between you and me
Which doesn't explain
Why the strangest places
Still call my name
I don't know how to live
I only know how to disappear
And I don't want to travel
And I don't want to stay here
They speak of destiny and fate
And powers that move unseen
And I get these pictures
Of how my life might have been
I hear home is where the heart is
But I never get to learn
Wh...
I'm in love with everything that's been left unsaid
That's gone down through the centuries
Beginning
Middle
And ending dead
I will forget
Where I began
I'll lose track
I'll change hands
I'm not vigilant
It's no trouble
It's inevitable
It's so foggy at night always
And it's dark all day
All that has been hidden
Will be shut off one day
Until then I will attempt
Whatever tempts me
Tell me, is th...
I don't want to turn around
And find I'd got it wrong
Or that I should have been laughing all along
You're what keeps me alive
You're what's destroying me
Do you want the truth or do you want your sanity?
You were hell and everything else was just a mess
I found I'd stepped into the deepest unhappiness
We get back, I bleed into you
Thank God that I don't love you
All of that's behind me now
St...
