Not open for further replies.
...prepared in innocence to meet our king of glory
and so we have this
you have it in your secret windows
and you're understanding to understand it and to bring it forth
it takes minute detail
it takes a holy life
it takes emotions
it takes dedication
it takes dedication
it takes a death
and only god can allow it
and you couldn't do it if you're not the seed of god
and so the path through the great corridors
these are corridors unto his perfection
that is which the prophet and the oarman summoned has penetrated
that through this great sea of blackness
that i penetrated through these corridors
and i went through that last segment
where i went through these dark serpentines
i passed through that corridor
where they sat
where they are
and when you penetrate to the most high god
you will believe you are mad
you will believe you've gone insane
but i tell you if you follow the secret window
and you die to the ego nature
you will penetrate this darkness
oh yes there's many a man or woman
that's been put in the insane asylum
when this has happened to them
and they're sitting there today, people think they're insane
but they saw something that's real
and they see it when they're on drugs
the only thing is they see it
not through the light of god, and the way i show you
i show you to see it through the light of god
and the understanding of god
because when you see the face of god you will die
and there will be nothing left of you
except the god-man, the god-woman
the heavenly man, the heavenly woman
the heavenly child
there will be terror under this day of night
there will be a song of jubilee waiting for your king
there will be nothing you will be looking for in this world
except for your god
this is all a dream
a dream in death

and so i went through that window
and the tower of hell and the great serpentines of the highest order
and i went through that when i showed you chart #3
the question is asked and learned and someone who....
 
Transport, motorways and tramlines
Starting and then stopping
Taking off and landing
The emptiest of feelings
Disappointed people clinging on to bottles
And when it comes it's so so disappointing

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Shell smashed, juices flowing
Wings twitch, legs are going
Don't get sentimental
It always ends up drivel

One day I'm going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and ...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around

Let down again
Let down again
Let down again

You know, you know where you are with
You know where you are with
Floor collapsing
Floating, bouncing back
And one day....
I am going to grow wings
A chemical reaction
Hysterical and useless
Hysterical and...

Let down and hanging around
Crushed like a bug in the ground
Let down and hanging around
 
Your class, your caste, your country, sect, your name or your tribe
There's people always dying trying to keep them alive
There's bodies decomposing in containers tonight
In an abandoned building where
The squatters made a mural of a Mexican girl
With fifteen cans of spray paint and a chemical swirl
She's standing in the ashes at the end of the world
Four winds blowing through her hair
But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
She just can't sustain the pressure where it's placed
She caves
The Bible's blind, the Torah's deaf, the Koran's mute
If you burn them all together you get close to the truth still
They are pouring over Sanskrit on the ivy league moons
While shadows lengthen in the sun
Cast all the school and meditation built to soften the times
And hold us at the center while the spiral unwinds
It's knocking over fences, crossing property lines
Four winds, cry until it comes
And it's the sum of man
Slouching towards Bethlehem
A heart just can't contain all of that empty space
It breaks, it breaks, it breaks
Well, I went back by rented Cadillac and company jet
Like a newly orphaned refugee, retracing my steps
All the way to Cassadaga to commune with the dead
They said, "You'd better look alive"
And I was off to old Dakota where a genocide sleeps
In the black hills, the bad lands, the calloused east
I buried my ballast, I made my peace
With four winds, leveling the pines

But when great Satan's gone, the whore of Babylon
She just can't remain with all that outer space
She breaks, she breaks, she caves, she caves
 
My blessed son, you...
You've got a lot to learn
So i'm your best friend
You love me and
Well i'll tell you something
We're on the road to messy

Now the bees behind my head sing "beware"
But my bee stung tongue wants in there
Beware beware
Beware of me
If your heart is not on my side
You're not on my side anymore

I steal a piece of your diary
I don't think that looks loke me
Am i so cold now that i'm older?
I tell you stories
That doesn't mean you know me

Now that bees behind my eyes sing "beware"
But my bee stung tongue wants in there
You come at me with mouth open wide
And i, like a jerk, crawl inside
Beware beware
Beware of me
If your heart is not on my side
You're not on my side anymore
 
two jumps in a week
i bet you think that's pretty clever
don't you boy.
flying on your motorcycle.
watching all the ground beneath you drop.
you'd kill yourself for recognition.
kill yourself to
never
ever
stop.
you broke another mirror.
you're turning into something you are not.

dont leave me high
dont leave me dry
dont leave me high
dont leave me dry

drying up in conversation
you will be the one who cannot talk.
all your insides fall to pieces.
you just sit there
wishing
you could still make love.
they're the ones who'll hate you when you think you've got the world
all sussed out.
they're the ones who'll spit at you.
you will be the one
screaming out.

dont leave me high
dont leave me dry
dont leave me high
dont leave me dry

er
its the best thing that you ever had
the best thing that you ever ever had
it's the best thing you have ever had
the best thing you have had has gone away

so dont leave me high
dont leave me dry
dont leave me high
dont leave me dry
 
You try to play cool
Like you just don’t care
But soon I’ll be playin’ in your
Underwear
I’m like the mage
With the magic spell
You come like a dog
When I ring yo’ bell
I got the money
And I got the fame
You got the hots
To ride on my plane
You givin’ me all
That I desire
’Cos down with me
I’m taking you higher

I’m the baddest of the bad
I’m the best that you’ve ever had
I’m the tops, I’m the king
All the girls get up when I sing, yeah
I’m the meanest in the place
Step up, I’ll mess with your face
I don’t care where you are
Look up and follow the star.

I, I’m gonna tear down the wall
I may not be here when you call
So best be givin’ me your all.(oooooo)

After the havoc that I’m gonna wreak
No more words will critics have to speak
I’ve got the answers to the tangled knot
Sleep tight in your cot.

Oh baby,
I’ve been told I’m goin’ crazy.
Oh baby,
But I can’t be held down.
Oh baby,
Somehow I'm keeping it steady.
Oh baby,
I’m tearin up this town.

Hey, this is what I like,
Cut my heart with a modern spike.
Hey, this is nothing new,
I’ve got more than enough for you.

I can take on anybody
I can do my thing
I don’t wanna hurt nobody
But a bee has got'ta sting
I’ma fix it if you mix it up (Hoo, hoo)
Talk smack, and I’ma gonna shut you up. (Hoo, hoo)

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give. (I was born to give.)
I am the greatest man that ever lived, oh
Radioactive (Radioactive)

Somebody said all the worlds is stage,
And each of us is a player.
That’s what I’ve been tryin to tell you.
In Act 1 I was struggling to survive.
Nobody wanted my action dead or alive.
Act 2, I hit the big time.
And bodies be all up on my behind.
And I can’t help myself because I was born to shine.
And if you don’t like it, you can shove it.
But you don’t like it, you love it.
So I’ll be up here in a rage,
’Til they bring the curtain down on the stage.

I’m the greatest man that ever lived...
I’m the greatest man that ever lived...
I’m the greatest man that ever lived...

I am the greatest man that ever lived
I was born to give and give and give.
I am the greatest man that ever lived


I am the greatest man that ever lived.
I was born to give.
 
I'm swimming with the Deverell Twins
I haven't got a care in a world, not a care
They are looking after me

This is the age of chivalry
This is the age of alchemy

I'm invited by the Deverell Twins
I'm delighted to accept
Their hospitality

This is the life of luxury
It's the beginning of the end

They show me their charts
Away to the stars
Say I'm as pretty as a picture

I'm admired by the Deverell Twins
They're very fond of me
They tell me their secret

This is the age of chivalry
It's the beginning of the end

They started the fire
Stifled their grins
No-one suspected the Deverell Twins

I'm enchanted by the Deverell Twins
I'm as pretty as a picture
 
Now it's been 25 years or more
I've roamed this land from shore to shore
From Tyne to Teign, or Severn to Thames
From moor to vale, from peak to fen

Played in cafes, pubs and bars
I've stood in the street with my own guitar
But I'd be richer than all the rest
If I had a pound for each request

For 'Duelling Banjos', 'American Pie'
It's enough to make you cry
'Rule Britannia', or 'Swing low...'
Are they the only songs we English know?

Seed, bark, flower, fruit
They're never gonna grow without their roots
Branch, stem, shoot
They need roots

After the speeches, when the cake's been cut
The disco's over and the bar is shut
At christening, birthday, wedding or wake
What can we sing 'til the morning breaks

When the Indians, Asians, Afro-Celts
It's in their blood, below their belt
They're playing and dancing all night long
So what have they got right that we've got wrong?

Seed, bark, flower, fruit
They're never gonna grow without their roots
Branch, stem, shoot
They need roots and

Haul away boys, let them go
Out in the wind and the rain and snow
We've lost more than we'll ever know
'Round the rocky shores of England
We need roots

And a minister said his vision of hell
Is three folk singers in a pub near Wales
Well, I've got a vision of urban sprawl
There's pubs where no-one ever sings at all

And everyone stares at a great big screen
Overpaid soccer stars, prancing teens
Australian soap, American rap
Estuary English, baseball caps

And we learn to be ashamed before we walk
Of the way we look, and the way we talk
Without our stories or our songs

How will we know where we come from?
I've lost St. George and the Union Jack
That's my flag too and I want it back

Seed, bark, flower, fruit
Never gonna grow without their roots
Branch, stem, shoot
We need roots

Haul away boys, let them go
Out in the wind and the rain and snow
We've lost more than we'll ever know
'Round the rocky shores of England
We need roots...
 
I hurt myself today
To see if I still feel
I focus on the pain
The only thing that's real
The needle tears a hole
The old familiar sting
Try to kill it all away
But I remember everything

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

I wear this crown of thorns
Upon my liar's chair
Full of broken thoughts
I cannot repair
Beneath the stains of time
The feelings disappear
You are someone else
I am still right here

[Chorus:]
What have I become
My sweetest friend
Everyone I know goes away
In the end
And you could have it all
My empire of dirt
I will let you down
I will make you hurt

If I could start again
A million miles away
I would keep myself
I would find a way
 
i'm much too headstrong for my own good
i'm too involved to realize
that your uncertainty will be the death of me
but i lose my will and if looks could kill,
i've been struck down dead by your beautiful eyes
time after time you challenge me for a reason
i know that i'm impossible and deceiving
i'v seen the signs,
you're telling me that you're leaving
time after time...
time after time...
these games of politics and romance,
they're quite impossible to win
i can't unfathom you;
one minute you love me or you say you do
and then i turn my back, i'm under attack,
i turn to hold you and you stick the knife in
time after time you challenge me for a reason
i know that i'm impossible and deceiving
i'v seen the signs,
you're telling me that you're leaving
time after time...
time after time...
and if i change to be the way you say you want me,
i'll only be the way i've always wanted to
you know as well as i do...
you know as well as i do...
time after time you challenge me for a reason
i know that i'm impossible and deceiving
i'v seen the signs,
you're telling me that you're leaving
time after time...
time after time...
time after time you challenge me for a reason
i know that i'm impossible and deceiving
i'v seen the signs,
you're telling me that you're leaving
time after time...
oh, well i still love you
time after time...
oh, i love you
time after time...
you know, you know, i still love you
time after time...
oh, i love you
time after time after time after time after time...
 
She was tired
It was dawn
When she heard the nurse say
Here’s a baby boy

Without fear
Zero years
Come to seek damnation
And the vale of tears

And my claim to fame
Is that, then,
I was that baby boy

Birthday girl
Rosy and special
Will this night last forever?

When I wed
I will dream
In a champagne haze of my first affair

Like a private joke
On the one I love
Between myself and me

Birthday girl
Rosy and special
Will this night come to an end?

Feed the birds
Poison bread
In the square beneath my place of birth

People die
So will I
Cut and dried and empty... -quite alone

When they bury me
Will the people know of the baby boy?

Birthday girl
Now I am begging
But I still think of the baby

Birthday girl
Smiling in silence
Will this night please come to an end?...
 
Ain't it just like the night to play tricks when you're tryin' to be so quiet?
We sit here stranded, though we're all doin' our best to deny it
And Louise holds a handful of rain, temptin' you to defy it
Lights flicker from the opposite loft
In this room the heat pipes just cough
The country music station plays soft
But there's nothing, really nothing to turn off
Just Louise and her lover so entwined
And these visions of Johanna that conquer my mind

In the empty lot where the ladies play blindman's bluff with the key chain
And the all-night girls they whisper of escapades out on the "D" train
We can hear the night watchman click his flashlight
Ask himself if it's him or them that's really insane
Louise, she's all right, she's just near
She's delicate and seems like veneer
But she just makes it all too concise and too clear
That Johanna's not here
The ghost of 'lectricity howls in the bones of her face
Where these visions of Johanna have now taken my place

Now, little boy lost, he takes himself so seriously
He brags of his misery, he likes to live dangerously
And when bringing her name up
He speaks of a farewell kiss to me
He's sure got a lotta gall to be so useless and all
Muttering small talk at the wall while I'm in the hall
How can I explain?
Oh, it's so hard to get on
And these visions of Johanna, they kept me up past the dawn

Inside the museums, Infinity goes up on trial
Voices echo this is what salvation must be like after a while
But Mona Lisa musta had the highway blues
You can tell by the way she smiles
See the primitive wallflower freeze
When the jelly-faced women all sneeze
Hear the one with the mustache say, "Jeeze
I can't find my knees"
Oh, jewels and binoculars hang from the head of the mule
But these visions of Johanna, they make it all seem so cruel

The peddler now speaks to the countess who's pretending to care for him
Sayin', "Name me someone that's not a parasite and I'll go out and say a prayer for him"
But like Louise always says
"Ya can't look at much, can ya man?"
As she, herself, prepares for him
And Madonna, she still has not showed
We see this empty cage now corrode
Where her cape of the stage once had flowed
The fiddler, he now steps to the road
He writes ev'rything's been returned which was owed
On the back of the fish truck that loads
While my conscience explodes
The harmonicas play the skeleton keys and the rain
And these visions of Johanna are now all that remain


(One of my very favourite opening couplets of any song ever)
 
moar emo tiems :oops:

Now I know,
That I can't make you stay.
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your,

And I know.
There's nothing I can say.
To change that part.
To change that part.
To change.

So many,
Bright lights to cast a shadow,
But can I speak?
Well is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding,
I get so weak.
A love that's so demanding,
I cannot speak.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven;
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

Can you say
My eyes are shining bright?
'Cause I'm out here, on the other side,
Of a jet black hotel mirror,
And love so weak.
Is it hard understanding
I'm incomplete?
A love that's so demanding,
I get so weak.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven;
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven;
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.

These bright lights have always blinded me.
These bright lights have always blinded me.

I say,

I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid,
Asleep or dead?

'Cause I see you lying next to me,
(How can I see, I see you lyin')
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lyin')
Awake and unafraid,
(How can I see, I see you lyin')
Asleep or dead?

'Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid,
Asleep or dead?

'Cause I see you lying next to me,
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid,
Asleep, or dead?

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven;
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead)

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven;
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.
(Or dead)

I am not afraid to keep on living,
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead)
Honey, if you stay you'll be forgiven;
Nothing you can say can stop me going home.
 
Oh baby here comes the sound!
I took a train outta New Orleans and they shot me full of ephedrine.
This is how we like to do it in the murder scene.
Can we settle up the score?

If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.

You're beautiful!

Well I'm a total wreck and almost every day.
Like the firing squad or the mess you made.
Well don't I look pretty walking down the street.
In the best damn dress I own?

If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say.

Some might say we are made from the sharpest things you say
We are young and we don't care. (oh whoa ow)
Your dreams and your hopeless hair. (oh whoa ow)
We never wanted it to be this way.
For all our lives.
Do you care {at all}?

If you were here I'd never have a fear.
So go on live your life.
But I miss you more than I did yesterday.
You're so far away.
So c'mon show me how.
'Cause I mean this more than words can ever say.

(What'd you call me?)
(Well, there's no way I'm kissing that guy)
 
Slide away, and give it all you've got
My today, fell in from the top
I dream of you, and all the things you say
I wonder where you are now?

Hold me down, all the world's asleep
I need you now, you knocked me off my feet,
I dream of you, we talk of growing old
But you said please don't...
 
I want what you've got for me,
I want what you're giving out
No romantic pedigree
Suck me in and spit me out

Sucker punch me with your love
I'm your mirror, I can be,
Read me like an open book
Tear my pages, set me free
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Consume the night
jerk me, jerk me up
Consume the night
jerk me, jerk me

I want what you've got for me,
I want what you're giving out,
No romantic pedigree
(Consume me now)
Suck me in and spit me out

Paralyse me with your song
I can randomly repeat
This I learns been done too long
Mark your sordid X on me
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Consume the night
jerk me, jerk me up
Consume the night
jerk me, jerk me

Sucker punch me with your love
I'm your mirror, I can be,
Read me like an open book
Tear my pages, set me free
yeah yeah yeah yeah

Consume the night
jerk me, jerk me up
Consume the night
jerk me, jerk me
 
Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody sees you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you scratch mine

I've been across to the other side
I've shown you everything, I got nothing to hide
And still you ask me do I love you, what it is, what it is
All I can tell you is it's all show biz
All I can tell you is it's all show biz

Nobody loves you when you're down and out
Nobody knows you when you're on cloud nine
Everybody's hustlin' for a buck and a dime
I'll scratch your back and you knife mine

I've been across the water now so many times
I've seen the one eyed witchdoctor leading the blind
And still you ask me do I love you, what you say, what you say
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away
Everytime I put my finger on it, it slips away

Well I get up in the morning and I'm looking in the mirror to see, ooo wee!
Then I'm lying in the darkness and I know I can't get to sleep, ooo wee!

Nobody loves you when you're old and grey
Nobody needs you when you're upside down
Everybody's hollerin' 'bout their own birthday
Everybody loves you when you're six foot in the ground

^ oh teh ironing
 
You say you found Jesus, Christ
He's the only one
You say you've found Buddha
Sittin' in the sun
You say you found Mohammed
Facin' to the East
You say you found Krishna
Dancin' in the streets

Well there's somethin' missing in this God Almighty stew
And it's your mother (your mother, don't forget your mother, lad)
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do it for you
Well you may believe in devils and you may believe in lords
But if you don't go out and serve yourself, lad, ain't no room service here
Think of your poor old mam (something) for Christ's sake

It's still the same old story
A bloody Holy War
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study war no more
A fight for God and country
We're gonna set you free
We'll put you back in the Stone Age
If you won't be like me - get it?

You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you
You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you

Yeah you may believe in devils and you may believe in lords
'But Christ, you're gonna have to serve yourself and that's all there is to it.
So get right back here it's in the bloody fridge. God, when I was a kid.
Didn't have stuff like this, TV-fuckin' dinners and all that crap.
You fuckin' kids are all the fuckin' same! Want a fuckin' car now...
Lucky to have a pair of shoes!'

You tell me you found Jesus, Christ
Well that's great and he's the only one
You say you just found Buddha
and he's sittin' on his ass in the sun
You say you found Mohammed
Kneeling on a bloody carpet facin' the East
You say you found Krishna
With a bald head dancin' in the street
('Well, Christ, Lad you're going out your bleedin' head')

You got to serve yourself
Ain't nobody gonna do for you ('that's right, lad, you better get that straight
into your fuckin' head')
You got to serve yourself ('you know that, who else is gonna do it for you, it
ain't me I tell you that')
Well, you may believe in Jesus, and you may believe in Marx
And you may believe in Marks and Spencer's and you may believe in bloody
Woolworths (lol)
But there's something missing in this whole bloody stew
And it's your mother, your poor bloody mother ('she what bore you in the
back bedroom, full of piss and shit and fuckin' midwives. God, you can't
forget that awful moment, you know. You should have been in the bloody
war, lad, and you would know all about it. Well, I'll tell you something.')

It's still the same old story
A Holy bloody War, you know, with the Pope and all that stuff
A fight for love and glory
Ain't gonna study no war more war
A fight for God and country, and the Queen and all that
We're gonna set you free
yeah all the nig-nogs you all
Bomb you back into the fuckin' Stone Age
If you won't be like me, you know, get down on your knees and pray

Well there's somethin' missing in this God Almighty stew
And it's your goddamn mother you dirty little git, now
get in there and wash yer ears!
 
Lennon does Dylan reading the paper :D

Well, thank you, mr. jitters.
Thank you, mister jitters.

The official soviet newspaper said, the temple members have protested the mindless arms race from the filthy war in vietnam and were persecuted and finally forced to seek refuge in another country.
wow. sounds like a ballad to me,
oh man.
Bankok, thailand, has launched an air-sea search for a fishing boat carrying some foreign Vietnamese refugees, the boat was towed back out to sea after arriving in Thailand. Sources said that it was because of a breakdown in communication. oh lord, the boat was towed into thai waters by a german freighter and the thai navy are unaware that the refugees have been guaranteed a resettlement and worst Germany took the boat out to sea after providing all passengers with provision.
Hey, that's deep man.

The chinese newspapers have made the first reference to the country's curtain wall posted campaign according to vice premiar deng xiaoping. and said that the country's stable and it's leaders are confident and planning modernisation and programs., oh this should get me in the village voice.
Deng gave blessing to the campaig but he commented not all the opinions of the masses are carefully thought out nor can we demand that they all be correct. adding this is nothing terrible. it's bad enough, but it's not terrible.

Fromer president, richard nixon, on his second trip outside the united states, since his resignation with a smiling hand shaking politician again, greeting crowds outside his hotel, and trying a little french.
They sure as hell didn't try it on pam nixon., mr. nixon is in paris and inside this suite to be interviewed on french television, before going on to deliver a speech in england, he'll participate in the french collegue (calling?)program and said he will answer questions in welsh.

That's pretty big mr. m. ahhh, I'm so cynical, I could just keep on doing this forever because, you know, they ain't gonna be lookin' at my golden bunnions in a hundred years from now. they're gonna be sellin' my socks like judy garland. and I hope that they get a good price.

man, I should worry, I own all my songs and I wrote them myself too.

I got 24 children, 14 wives, 3 mistresses, 59 accountants, 105 lawyers, 2000,000 fans, a postage system that never fails to land me in jail. and look through my mail. perhaps have a garage sale. and you know, go save the whale, and a..you know, get a boat and go for a sail, and, and, oh, oh, oh, oh, how do you get out of this hell? stuck inside of a lexicon with the roget's thesaurus blues again.
Sometimes I wish I was just george harrison, you know got all the answers, oh my god, oh my god.

^ bastard *kills earworm in teh face*

As the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming
Nobody's coming
As the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming

The call came in
Lorraine shot down
Her husband pulled the trigger
And then he blew his brains out
At the other end
The police took a call
They didn't believe
That he was dead at all
So they wouldn't help her
And she knew

It had been 20 years
Since they fell in love
He's brought a lot of pain
But now he's brought a lot of blood
And he's taken more
Than his share

We can't lose a life
The police chief said
There's an armed man in there
Who'd be better off dead
As lorraine bled from the legs

And as the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming
Nobody's coming
As the blood flowed lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming

Speak to me now
But all she could say
Was, I don't want to die like this
So they said they're on their way
But they never heard
That she was lorraine
So they didn't let her die
With even her name
As she left us all in pain

And as the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming
Nobody's coming
As the blood flowed
Lorraine knew
That there'd be nobody coming

Not everything must end
Not every romance must descend
Not every lover's pact decays
Not every sad mistake replays

If you can love my growing gut
My rotten teeth and greying hair
Then I can guarantee I'll do
The same as long as you can bear
If you love my little poofy hands
My skinny arms and reeking feet
The way I dance, the way I eat
If you love the morning spots I try
And squeeze before you're up to see
Each torn ankle, each weak knee

But still my moods must swing
To solitude I must still cling
And you won't love me every day
And suffer many a display

But plates may smash and doors may slam
My comments may be less than kind
But that won't mean I've changed my mind
I'm a huffy prick the best of times
I love to sulf and shout and squeal
But please don't doubt the way I feel
Cause when the Sun burns up the earth
Our progeny will raise a can
Here's to where it all began
And every day I hear the world
Is cracking up, the end is near
I hear we all should live in fear

Bullies, burglers, paedophiles
Bird flu and passive smoke
(They're coming!)
Volcanoes, earthquakes, tidal waves
Heart disease and strokes
(They're coming!)
Terrorists with homemade bombs
And factions everywhere
(They're coming!)
They're drinking in the street
And they could steal your home
And I don't care!
 
What a beautiful day (hey hey)
I'm the king of all time
And nothing is impossible
In my all powerful mind

It was on the fifth of November, when time it went back
Some say that that's impossible, but you and I we never looked back
And wasn't it incredible, so beautiful and above all
Just to see the fuse get lit this time
To light a real bonfire, for all time
And what a beautiful day (hey hey)
Im the king of all time
And nothing is impossible
In my all powerful mind

I was drinking in my night club
It felt good to be back
When Hepburn said I love you
And Flynn said, make mine a double jack
Was then we planned the revolution
To make things better for all time
And when Guevara said that was crazy
And ordered up a bottle of wine

And what a beautiful day (hey hey)
Im the king of all time (it's a beuatiful day)
And nothing is impossible
In my all powerful mind

And what a beautiful day (hey hey)
Im the king of all time (it's a beautiful day)
And nothing is impossible
In my all powerful mind

In there on the big screen, every night I've seen
The way all things could be
For me, for me, for me, for me
The news broke after midnight,
That we pulled the temples down without a sound
But the generals they were hiding out
The ministers, Well! They'd all gone to ground
Wealth re-distribution, became the new solution
So I got a paper bag, but you got the one with all the holes

And what a beautiful day (hey hey)
Im the king of all time(it's a beautiful day)
And nothing is impossible
In my all powerful mind
(What a beautiful day) What a beautiful day
I'm the king of all time (it's a beautiful day)
And nothing is impossible
In my all powerful mind
Oh yea, nothing is impossibe
In my all powerful mind
That's because nothing is impossible
In my own powerful mind
 
yay! arabstrapnostalgia!

It was the biggest ever cock youd ever seen, but youve no idea where that cock has been.
You said you were careful - you never were with me.
I heard you did it four times and jonnies come in packs of three.

She was the best shag Id ever had.
That doesnt mean Im saying, bedwise, you were bad.
I think you were working, we got a hotel.
We didnt have anything but I thought I might as well.

I never told the rest.
I was drunk and I told you I was thinking about a test.
You know I just said it for effect.
Then you laughed and said Id fuck anything in a skirt once Im erect.

And shes a famous harlot in this town.
I know enough to, but still I couldnt turn her down.
He said Im an arsehole, what was I thinking?
Its far too easy to blame it on the drinking.
 
Sit by me silently and brush my beard.
No mess to mop up from the bed today.
Will we sit next door and watch the soaps?
We've nothing to do and we've nothing to say.
Oh, when you go...

Recently, we've been somewhat volatile, and last night it starts with that Joan Osbourne song.
I hate it anyway, but you made it worse.
I know why you laughed and you should know you were wrong.
Oh, when you go...

Bird number one taught me I shouldn't trust, that's why I find unfounded doubts abound.
But number two proved that with none, we've nothing.
And now I'm only happy when you're not around.
Oh, when you go...
 
Some say it's an art, some say it's a shame,
You would give me your body before your name,
But I'm a Giga-High
And I'm a Giga-Low,
I'm a Giga wherever it can go.

So later on don't act like you don't know
When I pick out the freaks in the front row,
I'm the rapper J, that's the rapper X
We're known for playing tag team sex.

When I get you in a house you know what I do
But let me tell you a story thats definately true.

When I came to the party I was by myself,
Nine times out of ten I leave with someone else.
It's something about the way I rock the microphone
The ladies in the place want to take me home,
Stretch me out all along the couch
And show me what your loving is all about.
So when I get 'em
Then I let 'em
I throw my jammy on the top
And then I wet 'em

'Cos I'm a Ho you know I'm a Ho,
I rock three different freaks after every show,
'Cos I'm a Ho, You Know I'm a Ho,
How do you know
Because I told you so........
 
Play, Relax, Enjoy
Cos you’re frying tonight again
It’s raw, unclean, uncut
And it’s all for the art of pain
Just make-up there
The effects and the movies that twist the brain
My TV screen is dripping red
With gates of hell and evil dead
I cannot wait to see it up close
So slice away and go for gross again

It’s splattermania – It’s extra censored thrills
It’s splattermania – It’s zoom in on the kill
It’s splattermania – I know you think I’m ill

But if you hold on tight and don’t be shy
We’re drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn’t real, the nation ain’t in danger
It’s only splattermania

Lucio, you’re back
How we missed you when you were gone
Oh, now it’s time to splat
Like you did in the Full Beyond
C-c-c-counting down the sickest ways
To slice and dice your teenage brain
In Traumaville the violence mounts
To multiply the body count again

It’s splattermania – It’s extra censored thrills
It’s splattermania – It’s zoom in on the kill
It’s splattermania – I know you think I’m ill

But if you hold on tight and don’t be shy
We’re drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn’t real, the nation ain’t in danger
It’s only splattermania

Splattermania, splattermania, splattermania, yeah-yeah

High rolling
Mmm…
Cos everyone’s looking for someone to blame
Censorship rules, still the problem remains
Watch with your eyes closed and still you complain
‘Til no one has an independent thought in their brain
And it’s always the same

It’s splattermania – It’s extra censored thrills
It’s splattermania – It’s zoom in on the kill
It’s splattermania – I know you think I’m ill

But if you hold on tight and don’t be shy
We’re drilling brains and pulling eyes
It isn’t real, the nation ain’t in danger
It’s only splattermania

Splattermania, splattermania
 
Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times
Good times
These are the good times
Our new state of mind
These are the good times

Happy days are here again
The time is right
For makin' friends
Let's get together
How 'bout a quarter to ten
Come tomorrow
Let's all do it again

Boys will be boys
Better let them have their toys
Girls will be girls
Cute pony tails and curls
Must put an end
To this stress and strife
I think I want to live the sporting life

Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times
Good times
These are the good times
Our new state of mind
These are the good times

A rumor has it that
It's getting late
Time marches on
Just can't wait
The clock keeps turning
Why hesitate
You silly fool
You can't change your fate
Let's cut a rug
A little jive and jitterbug
We want the best
We won't settle for less
Don't be a drag
Participate
Clams on the half shell
And roller-skates
Roller-skates

Good times
These are the good times
Leave your cares behind
These are the good times
Good times
These are the good times
Our new state of mind
These are the good times
