No, I sent you that letter
To ask you if the end was worth the means
Was there really no in between?
And I still don't feel better
I just wondered if it could be like before
And I think you just made me sure!
But then that's typically you
And I might have been a bit rude
But I wrote it in a bad mood
I'm not being funny with you
But it's hard to be engaging
When the things you love keep changing
Brassneck, Brassneck
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
First time you came over
Do you remember saying then you'd stay for good?
No I didn't think you would
Well we couldn't've been closer
But it was different then and that's all in the past
There I've said it now at last!
You grew up quicker than me
I kept so many old things
I never stopped quite hoping
I think I know what it means
It means I've got to grow up
It means you want to throw up
Brassneck, Brassneck
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just know, you weren't listening were you?
Oh please go, whenever you prefer to
I said it means a lot, when you use an old phrase
But then so what? We can't have it both ways
I know, you're not bothered are you
Even so, I'm not going to argue
He won't object! Keep writing to me
Just don't forget you ever knew me
To ask you if the end was worth the means
Was there really no in between?
And I still don't feel better
I just wondered if it could be like before
And I think you just made me sure!
But then that's typically you
And I might have been a bit rude
But I wrote it in a bad mood
I'm not being funny with you
But it's hard to be engaging
When the things you love keep changing
Brassneck, Brassneck
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
I just decided I don't trust you anymore
First time you came over

No I didn't think you would
Well we couldn't've been closer
But it was different then and that's all in the past

I know, you're not bothered are you
Even so, I'm not going to argue
He won't object! Keep writing to me
Just don't forget you ever knew me
I ache for the touch of your lips, dear,
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts
Like nobody else,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
Let our love be a flame, not an ember,
Say it's me that you want to dismember.
Blacken my eye,
Set fire to my tie,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
At your command
Before you here I stand,
My heart is in my hand...
Yeech!
It's here that I must be.
My heart entreats,
Just hear those savage beats,
And go put on your cleats
And come and trample me.
Your heart is hard as stone or mahogany,
That's why I'm in such exquisite agony.
My soul is on fire,
It's aflame with desire,
Which is why I perspire when we tango.
You caught my nose
In your left castanet, love,
I can feel the pain yet, love,
Ev'ry time I hear drums.
And I envy the rose
That you held in your teeth, love,
With the thorns underneath, love,
Sticking into your gums.
Your eyes cast a spell that bewitches.
The last time I needed twenty stitches
To sew up the gash
That you made with your lash,
As we danced to the Masochism Tango.
Bash in my brain,
And make me scream with pain,
Then kick me once again,
And say we'll never part.
I know too well
I'm underneath your spell,
So, darling, if you smell
Something burning, it's my heart... [hiccup]
'Scuse me!
Take your cigarette from its holder,
And burn your initials in my shoulder.
Fracture my spine,
And swear that you're mine,
As we dance to the Masochism Tango.
and...
Spring is here, a-spring is here.
Life is skittles and life is beer.
I think the loveliest time of the year is the spring.
I do, don't you? 'Course you do.
But there's one thing that makes spring complete for me,
And makes every Sunday a treat for me.
All the world seems in tune
On a spring afternoon,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
Every Sunday you'll see
My sweetheart and me,
As we poison the pigeons in the park.
When they see us coming, the birdies all try an' hide,
But they still go for peanuts when coated with cyanide.
The sun's shining bright,
Everything seems all right,
When we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
We've gained notoriety,
And caused much anxiety
In the Audubon Society
With our games.
They call it impiety
And lack of propriety,
And quite a variety
Of unpleasant names.
But it's not against any religion
To want to dispose of a pigeon.
So if Sunday you're free,
Why don't you come with me,
And we'll poison the pigeons in the park.
And maybe we'll do
In a squirrel or two,
While we're poisoning pigeons in the park.
We'll murder them all amid laughter and merriment,
Except for the few we take home to experiment.
My pulse will be quickenin'
With each drop of strych'nine
We feed to a pigeon.
(It just takes a smidgin!)
To poison a pigeon in the park.
I do love Tom Lehrer.
But much more for the touch of your whips, dear.
You can raise welts

you've got rain in your eyes
and a head full of stars
all the tears you can hold in your hand
and a room full of sleep
and a promise to keep
isn't it just like love
in a world made of law
you're just losing the game
they give you these words
but they've taken your name
now you're out in the cold
now ain't that a shame
isn't it just like love
you can have anything
you can hold in your hand
and a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love
and it's my time
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time
it's my time
there's a world at the door
with her heart in her sleeve
and there's nowhere to turn
there is you
there's a deal to be made
and a price to be paid
isn't it just like love
you can have anything
you can hold in your hand
and a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love
and it's my time
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time
it's my time
so we stand in the dark
and the sun never shows
and you're whispering secrets
that everyone knows
so we know that they told you
they just want to hold you
use you
and take you
and lose you
and fake you
you have everything
you can hold in your hand
but a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love
it's my time
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time
it's my time
you can have anything
you can hold in your hand
and a hero is always alone
at the end of the day
it's a price that you pay
with your pieces of love
all your pieces of love
it's my time
to turn you around
and it's my time
to hold out a hand
and it's my time
to turn on a light for you
my time

Dont walk away in silence
played loud because of He Kills Coppers
Dirty Davey's down the front and he's met the coppers there
They'll be taking you in cos they hate your skin
And he's dragged away by the hair
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Well Davey's out on two weeks bail and he's down the town to score
When it all falls in and he's pinned by the chin
And they'vve rusted every floor
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Davey's down the old grey squat
And he's lying with his lass
When there's a brick through the pane
ANd he's out on the lane
With the bailiffs and the glass
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
The court comes up on Monday morning and Davey's in the dock
He can't stop his tears when he gets two years
And you can't turn back the clock
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Well Davey's had it up to here
Banging his head on the wall
So he tied his pants to the prison bars
And he's hung till he's clear of it all
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
There's a law for the rich and a law for the poor
And a law for Dirty Davey
His body's gone but his soul lives on
Here's to you Dirty Davey
Corrupt, corrupt from the bottom to the top
And you tell me it's the law
Dirty Davey's down the front and he's met the coppers there
They'll be taking you in cos they hate your skin
And he's dragged away by the hair
It's a kick in the head and a prison bed
And you tell me it's the law
Well Davey's out on two weeks bail and he's down the town to score

Dont walk away in silence
I thought i heard someone calling me
i've seen the pictures on TV
and i made up my mind that i'd go and see
with my own eyes
It didn't take too long to hitch a ride
with a guy going south to start a new life
past the place where my friend died
two years ago
Down the 303 at the end of the road
flashing lights - exclusion zones
and it made me think it's not just the stones
that they're guarding
Hey hey, can't you see
there's nothing here that you could call free
they're getting thier kicks
laughing at you and me
As the sun rose on the beanfield
they came like wolf on the fold
and they didn't give a warning
they took their bloody toll
I see a pregnent woman
lying in blood of her own
i see her children crying
as the police tore apart her home
And no they didn't need a reason
it's what your votes condone
it seems they were committing treason
by trying to live on the road

How sad are we ?
And how sad have we been ?
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
Oh, but only if - you're really interested
You wonder how
We've stayed alive 'till now
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
But only if - you're really interested
We're all smiles
Then, honest, I swear, it's the turnstiles
That make us hostile
Oh ...
We will descend
On anyone unable to defend
Themselves
Oh ...
And the songs we sing
They're not supposed to mean a thing
La, la, la, la ...
We may seem cold, or
We may even be
The most depressing people you've ever known
At heart, what's left, we sadly know
That we are the last truly British people you'll ever know
We are the last truly British people you will ever know
And how sad have we been ?
We'll let you know
We'll let you know
Oh, but only if - you're really interested
You wonder how
We've stayed alive 'till now
We'll let you know
We'll let you know

I've been in this grass here for the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen does it fly through the air
Woah I gave up asking days away I gave up asking days away
And now I'm lying here waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder
Here I am I'm a dotted line cut in through corners stick me through your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
Am I just lying here that's what I was made for
And now my eyes are closing but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
Waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder
I've been in this grass here for the last ten hours
My clothes are dirty but my mouth isn't dry
How does it happen does it fly through the air
Woah I gave up asking days away I gave up asking days away
And now I'm lying here waiting for the sound of thunder
Waiting for the sound of thunder
Here I am I'm a dotted line cut in through corners stick me through your door
I'm the man who stepped off the path
Am I just lying here that's what I was made for
And now my eyes are closing but I still feel the land
Leaning out for the touch of my hand
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
The world spins so fast that I might fly off
Waiting for the sound of thunder
I'm waiting for the sound of thunder

SpookyFrank
A cheap source of teeth for aquarium gravel
I'll be the corpse in your bathtub
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn
Whisper what you feel
My badly strung declaration
To You
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn
Love not by degrees
Press your lips
To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue,
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong.
Scream in the night
Kick and strike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark
All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold
As we both become older.
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice.
The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice.
A lovely, lovely, lovely song
Useless
I'll be as deaf as a post
If you hold me like a newborn
Whisper what you feel
My badly strung declaration
To You
You'll spend the end of your days
Gently smiling like a newborn
Love not by degrees
Press your lips
To my eyes
Taste my tears
On your tongue,
Pull the blinds
Play our song
Nothings changed
Nothing could be wrong.
Scream in the night
Kick and strike
Like a newborn
Holding me shaking
Awake in the dark
All of these promises
Kept and unbroken
Tracing the scars
Tracing the scars
Even and cold
As we both become older.
Your arms bound about me
The hush in your voice.
The warmth of your fingers
Entwined around mine
In the eve of our lives
Never a choice.
A lovely, lovely, lovely song
She keeps a Moet et Chandon
In a pretty cabinet
'Let them eat cake' she says
Find me on the internet
A built-in remedy
For Khrushchev and Kennedy
At anytime an invitation
You can't decline
Caviar and cigarettes
Well versed in etiquette
Extraordinarily nice
She's a Killer Queen
Gunpowder, Gelatine
Dynamite with a laser beam
Guaranteed to blow your mind
Anytime
Recommended at the price
Insatiable an appetite
Wanna try?
To avoid complications
She never kept the same address
In conversation

Baby Grand
There’s a millionaire in the Brooklyn jail
He don’t care, he could go his bail
Said: “You can put me away, but I’ll never pay
Another cent of alimony”
A fat man comes on Christmas Eve
In a bowler hat and a gartered sleeve
The fat man’s in a pickle ’cause he’s never sent a nickel
To his former matrimonial spouse
The millionaire says “Fat man,
Tell me, what’s your line?”
Fat man says “I play the piano
When I ain’t doin’ time”
The tycoon smiles and scratches his chin, he laughs
“You must be Fats Waller! Come on in!
Let’s see if you and me can live in harmony!”
Across the Harlem River the boys were feelin’ low
Took up a pay collection
The Fat Man’s bail to go
They grabbed their hats at the Cotton Club
They took the Third Avenue El
Brooklyn Bridge down to Flatbush
Till they were standin’ at The Fat Man’s cell
Well, the boys could not believe their eyes
The jail cell looked like Paradise
Some swell was handin’ out cigars
And Fats was grinnin’ through the bars
Pounding on a baby grand
He said “Boys meet Mr. Hennessy
Reponsible for all you see
Hennessy’s been good to me
And I could stay indefinitely
Pounding on this baby grand"
So Fats stayed in jail for the Christmas holidays
He sent his friends away
They heard the tycoon say as they were leaving
“Two can live as cheap as one
Don’t time fly when you’re havin’ fun
Keepin’ house in the can
Pounding on a baby grand
We’ll be happy as a clam
Pounding on a baby grand”

Dont walk away in silence
Oh God, oh God
It's not fun being you anymore
Oh, God, oh God
It's not fun in your shoes anymore
Stop casting your spells
Will you please go to hell
You know you've really got a big mouth
Sit down, cross your legs
Free your neck from your head
And hear me out, out out
You never give me
You never give me
You never give me the time
Whole
Whole
Eat yourself whole
Oh no, oh no
I hear the sounds of the radio
Oh no, oh no
I saw a dinosaur through it's window
I turned out at midnight
Turned off the light
Added some words to the 20th centruy
I dug you a grave
Wrote in the sky
"I love the drug, the drug you sold to me"
You never give me
You never give me
You never give me the time
Whole
Whole
Eat yourself whole
The whites of your eyes are not white
And your head it never fails to keep growing
I could try to keep it at bay with 6 inch nails
With your room it's so sad
With cancerous walls and trampoline floors
Are you happy being whores?
Cause I can see through you like a cellophane door.

John Wayne was always bald
And he had a woman's name
Valentino was a momma's boy
He cried in his tent all night long
And Harry Truman finally
Dropped the bomb
So they could go to sleep at night
I got a plaque up on the wall
and an office in the sky
I give birth to major deals
Lookin' down on the passersby
I pass the torch, I follow the code
I'm steerin' straight ahead
No, I don't stray the road
To be a warrior with a king
To put your hand in the flame
Without burning
And go to sleep at night
John Wayne was always bald
And he had a woman's name
Valentino was a momma's boy
I cried in my tent all night long
And Harry Truman finally dropped the bomb

Wake up, Sally, yeah, the cops are here
And they keep knockin' at the door
Flashlights shinin' through the window in front
Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor
Now, someone musta told 'em we were hidin' out here
I bet yer big dumb brother told a friend
Now we gotta make it out the back before
Just saw two more pullin' round the bend
Hey, I shoulda known better than to rob that bus
Just-a twelve bucks layin' in the tray
Now I hear the sheriff on the radio
We gotta crawl out back and get away
Now didja gas up the truck like I told you to?
No, we can't take the dog, he's gonna bark
We're outside, now, slide into neutral gear
We'll roll out the back driveway and then we'll start
Now, there's ten more troopers on the roundabout
Turn the corner, see a camera and a light
Now, Sally, keep the dog down or we'll be had
And then up on the television next Monday night
Wake up, Sally, we're in Kansas now
I'm gonna pull out this map while you steer
We might as well drive on to Idaho
Hey, there's some more police behind us,
Better hide the beer
Wake up, Sally, yeah, the cops are here
So we'll just do what we did before
Crawl out back, get into that old truck
And slam that pedal––
Keep the dog down––
We gotta head south, gotta get outta town––
And slam that pedal to the floor
And they keep knockin' at the door
Flashlights shinin' through the window in front
Keep quiet and lay flat on the floor

Please don't go crazy, if I tell you the truth
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall
Where you've had me for hours
Still I'm sure what I want
But darling I want the same thing that I wanted before
So sweetheart tell me what's up I won't stop no way
Please keep your hands down
And stop raising your voice
It's hardly what I'd be doing if you gave me a choice
It's a simple suggestion can you give me some time
So just say yes or no
Why can't you shoulder the blame
'Cause both my shoulders are heavy
From the weight of us both
You're a big boy now so let's not talk about growth
You've not heard a single word I have said...
Oh, my God
Please take it easy it can't all be my fault
I haven't made half the mistakes
That you've listed so far
Oh baby let me explain something
It's all down to drugs
At least I remember taking them and not a lot else
It seems I've stepped over lines
You've drawn again and again
But if the ecstacy's in, the wit is definitely out
Dr. Jekyll is wrestling Hyde for my pride
No you don't know what happened
And you never will if
You don't listen to me while I talk to the wall
This blanket is freezing, it's been out in the hall

Everybodys talking bout the stormy weather
And whats a man do to but work out whether its true?
Looking for a man with a focus and a temper
Who can open up a map and see between one and two
Time to get it
Before you let it
Get to you
Here he comes now
Stick to your guns
And let him through
Everybodys coming from the winter vacation
Taking in the sun in a exaltation to you
You come running in on platform shoes
With marshall stacks
To at least just give us a clue
Ah, here it comes
I know its someone I knew
Teenage riot in a public station
Gonna fight and tear it up in a hypernation for you
Now I see it
I think Ill leave it out of the way
Now I come near you
And its not clear why you fade away
Looking for a ride to your secret location
Where the kids are setting up a free-speed nation, for you
Got a foghorn and a drum and a hammer thats rockin
And a cord and a pedal and a lock, thatll do me for now
It better work out
I hope it works out my way
cause its getting kind of quiet in my citys head
Takes a teen age riot to get me out of bed right now
You better look it
Were gonna shake it
Up to him
He acts the hero
We paint a zero
On his hand
We know its down
We know its bound too loose
Everybodys sound is round it
Everybody wants to be proud to choose
So whos to take the blame for the stormy weather
Youre never gonna stop all the teenage leather and booze
Its time to go round
A one man showdown
Teach us how to fail
Were off the streets now
And back on the road
On the riot trail
And whats a man do to but work out whether its true?
Looking for a man with a focus and a temper
Who can open up a map and see between one and two

Sheriff Fatman started out in business
as a granny farmer
He was infamous for fifteen minutes
And he appeared in Panorama
Then he somehow got himself on board
The Starship Enterprise Allowance Scheme
With a Price of Wales award
for pushing valium and amphetamines
Now he's moving up onto second base
Behind Nicholas Van Wotsisface
At six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slums
More aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
Just about to take the stage
The one and only
Hold the front page
Fatman's got something to sell
To the capitol's homeless
At the Crossroads Hotel
For the no-fixed-abodeless
Where you can live life in style
You can sleep in a closet
And if you flash him a smile
He'll take your teeth as a deposit
There's bats in the belfry
The windows are jammed
The toilets ain't healthy
And he don'T give a damn
He just chuckles and smiles
And laughs like a madman
A born again Rachman
Here comes Sheriff Fatman
With his valium, amphetamines
His sick notes and his phoney prescriptions
And just when yo thought it was safe
To go back in the kitchen, dead legs and cracked heads
Bunk-beds and breakfasts
Wake up you sleepy headcases...check this...
Moving up now to take the place
Of Nicholas Van Wotsisface
At six foot six and a hundred tons
The undisputed king of the slums
With more aliases than Klaus Barbie
The master butcher of Leigh-on-Sea
In a hatchback from Notre Dame
The one and only Sheriff Fatman
In goes another left hook
And now I'm losing my patience
Someone call up Roger Cook and the United Nations
He's buying up houses for hasbeens (help me)
From Lands End to Southend to Chelsea
There's bats in the belfrey
The windows are jammed
The toilets ain't healthy
He don't give a damn
He just chuckles and smiles
And laughs like a madman
Ladies and gentlemen,
I give you...

Dont walk away in silence
like small speakers - I like tall speakers
If they've music - they've wired for sound
Walkin' about with a head full of music
Cassette in my pocket and I'm gonna use it-stereo
- out on the street you know - woh oh woh...
Into the car go to work I'm cruisin'
I never think that I'll blow all my fuses
Traffic flows-into the breakfast show - woh oh woh...
Power from the needle to the plastic
A.M. - F.M. I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
And I'm wired for sound
I was small boy who don't like his toys
I could not wait to get wired for sound
I met a girl and she told me she loved me
I said you love me then love means you must like what I like-
My music is dynamite - woh oh woh...
She said - I'm not a girl you put on at a stand by
I am a girl who demands that her love is amplified
Switch in to overdrive-woh oh woh
Power from the needle to the plastic
A.M. - F.M. I feel so ecstatic now
It's music I've found
And I'm wired for sound
If they've music - they've wired for sound

The new wine is dying on the vine
how much must you age before you're ageless?
align yourself with the divine
allow your inner sage to burn your rage less
'cause I find through testaments of time
there is no space for time within your mind
if your looking for yourself, yourself you'll find
through the crystal of your spirit you'll inherit the divine
you are God, you best believe
don't waste your time down on your knees
it's everybody for themselves
you are the fire and the cross
don't save your soul it's sour loss
collective soul, collective well
The new wine is dying on the vine
how much must you age before you're ageless?
align yourself with the divine
allow your inner sage to burn your rage less
'cause I find through testaments of time
there is no space for time within your mind
if your looking for yourself, yourself you'll find
through the crystal of your spirit you'll inherit the divine
you are God, you best believe
don't waste your time down on your knees
it's everybody for themselves
you are the fire and the cross
don't save your soul it's sour loss
collective soul, collective well
Chorus (x2):
So do you know how I feel tonight?
Now can't you see I'm surreal tonight?
See how I shine I'm a star, oh yeah
Now do you know who you are tonight
I'm that atonement son
that's like a bible and gun
pea-cocked and ready aimin' steady as a ray of the sun
my ammunition, intuition, full eclipse of my lung
son, you could never guess what planet I'm from
my emcee name is my birth name, my first name
alias is all of us, soul of us, the fall of us
to surely come when we deny it
loudest nigga gets quiet
prison of pieces of riot
sell your soul if you wanna, but that don't mean I'mma buy it
see I've been conscious of your nonsense
they imprints have been quiet
and I ain't gonna lie it
be to hard to deny it
I ain't from your block and never had to deal with your shit
never had a glock never kept it real with no bit
and when I saw a nigga like you, son I practically hit
'cause you did what you did and I wasn't the kid
don't give a fuck now, I be the first one to playa hate
the eye of the needle set the record straight
and I retire late, retire late, retaliate, retaliate
and I be fishin' on that same star you be wishin' on
make you move son, you know the mission's on
so never question who I am, God knows
and I know God personally
in fact he lets me call him me
in fact he lets me call him me
never question who I am, God knows
and I know God personally
in fact she lets me call her me
in fact she lets me call her me
Chorus (x4)
I can recite the grass on the hill and memorize the moon
I know the cloudforms of love by heart
and have brought tears to the eye of a storm
and my memory banks vaults of autumn forests and amazon river banks
and i've screamed them into sunsets that echo in earthquakes
shadows have been my spotlight as I monologue the night and dialogue with days
soliloquies of wind and breeze applauded by sun rays
we put language in zoos to observe caged thought
and tossed peanuts and p-funk at intellect
and motherfuckers think these are metaphors
i speak what I see
all words and worlds are metaphors of me
my life was authored by the moon
footprints written in soil
the fountain pen of martian men
novelling human toil
and yes, the soil speaks highly of me
but earth seeds root me poet-tree
now, maybe i'm too serious
too little here to matter
though i'm riddled with the reason of the sun
a stand up comet with the audience of lungs
this body of laughter is it with me or at me?
hue more or less though gender's mute
and the punch line has this lifeline at it's root
i'm a star this life's the suburbs, I commute
Chorus (x2)
how much must you age before you're ageless?
align yourself with the divine

be to hard to deny it
I ain't from your block and never had to deal with your shit
never had a glock never kept it real with no bit
and when I saw a nigga like you, son I practically hit
'cause you did what you did and I wasn't the kid
don't give a fuck now, I be the first one to playa hate
the eye of the needle set the record straight
and I retire late, retire late, retaliate, retaliate
and I be fishin' on that same star you be wishin' on
make you move son, you know the mission's on
so never question who I am, God knows
and I know God personally
in fact he lets me call him me
in fact he lets me call him me
never question who I am, God knows
and I know God personally
in fact she lets me call her me
in fact she lets me call her me
Chorus (x4)
I can recite the grass on the hill and memorize the moon
I know the cloudforms of love by heart
and have brought tears to the eye of a storm
and my memory banks vaults of autumn forests and amazon river banks
and i've screamed them into sunsets that echo in earthquakes
shadows have been my spotlight as I monologue the night and dialogue with days
soliloquies of wind and breeze applauded by sun rays
we put language in zoos to observe caged thought
and tossed peanuts and p-funk at intellect
and motherfuckers think these are metaphors
i speak what I see
all words and worlds are metaphors of me
my life was authored by the moon
footprints written in soil
the fountain pen of martian men
novelling human toil
and yes, the soil speaks highly of me
but earth seeds root me poet-tree
now, maybe i'm too serious
too little here to matter
though i'm riddled with the reason of the sun
a stand up comet with the audience of lungs
this body of laughter is it with me or at me?
hue more or less though gender's mute
and the punch line has this lifeline at it's root
i'm a star this life's the suburbs, I commute

Well, Ma's out there, switchin' in the kitchen
Dad's in the living room, grousin' and a-bitchin'
And I'm out here, kickin' the gong for...
Euphoria!
Euphoria...
When your mind starts reelin' and a-rockin;
Your inside voice starts squealin' and squawkin'
Floatin' around on a belladonna cloud,
Singin'
Euphoria!
There's a man in the corner sittin' underneath the table
Sad, makin' faces at a union label
You know he grit his ears
And then he rolled his eyes and hollered...
Euphoria!
Chorus
I pinched Eve on the bottom, patted Adam on the back
I smiled at the serpent and he smiled back,
I took a bite from the apple with two bites gone,
And shouted,
"Euphoria!"
Euphoria...
When your mind starts reelin' and a rockin',
Your inside voices start squealin' and a squawkin,
Floatin' around on a belladonna cloud,
Singing...
Euphoria!

Dont walk away in silence
Kids are spitting on the town hall steps and frightening old ladies
I dreamt that I was living back in the mid 1980s
People marching, people shouting, people wearing pastel leather
The future's ours for the taking now
if we just stick together
And I said: "Hey, lay your burden down
seems the last day of the miners' strike was the Magna Carta in this part of town"
Well, my body sank below the ground
it became as black as night
overhead the sound of horses' hooves
people fighting for their lives
Some joker in a headband was still getting chicks for free
And Big Brother was still watching you
back in the days of '83
And I said: "Hey, lay your burden down
seems the last day of the miners' strike was the Magna Carta in this part of town"
Well by 1985, I was as cold a cold could be
but no-one was underground to dig me out and set me free
'87 socialism gave way to socialising
so put your hands up in the air once more:
the north is rising
And I said: "Hey, lay your burden down
seems the last day of the miners' strike was the Magna Carta in this part of town"
Oh, sing Hallelujah
Oh, sing Hallelujah
Don't let them fool you again
Oh, sing Hallelujah
By now I'm sick and tired of just living in this hole
so I took the ancient tablets
blew off the dust
swallowed them whole
Oh come on, let's get together
Oh come on, the past is gone
Well, the very first commandment: Come on, come on, let's get it on
Come on, let's get it on
Get it on!
Oh, get it on
