[Final]

Frankly, mr. shankly, this position i've held
It pays my way, and it corrodes my soul
I want to leave, you will not miss me
I want to go down in musical history

Frankly, mr. shankly, i'm a sickening wreck
I've got the 21st century breathing down my neck
I must move fast, you understand me
I want to go down in celluloid history, mr. shankly


Fame, fame, fatal fame
It can play hideous tricks on the brain
But still i'd rather be famous
Than righteous or holy, any day
Any day, any day


But sometimes i'd feel more fulfilled
Making christmas cards with the mentally ill
I want to live and i want to love
I want to catch something that i might be ashamed of


Frankly, mr. shankly, this position i've held
It pays my way and it corrodes my soul
Oh, i didn't realise that you wrote poetry
I didn't realise you wrote such bloody awful poetry, mr. shankly


Frankly, mr. shankly, since you ask
You are a flatulent pain in the arse
I do not mean to be so rude
Still, i must speak frankly, mr. shankly

Oh, give us your money !

Soft Cell ~ It's A Mug's Game

Oh god... it's another night
And your head is feeling
Like a lump of lead
You should never have drunk
Those party fours
You should of been home being good instead

Ever been in a deja vu
And the end is the same again
You ran out of your Silver Thins
And you're trying to be so high class
Though you need a bath and your hair's looking like string
And though you're nearly broke you end up paying for all the drinks
And you tell them '-Oh its nothing!...'
'-There's a million where those come from!'
And then you whisper to your longest-suffering friend
'Please lend me a few quid'...

Oh god... it's another day
And your stomach's feeling
Like a blown-up balloon
You should never have eaten that greasy food
The doctor told you that chile was bad for your blood

And you're standing at the chemist in Boots
Coughing up your guts like you're at death's door
All this for a packet of Do-Do's
And the assistant gives you a wink and you turn bright red
It's at time like this that you wish you were dead
And you take the whole packet
And you feel like you've drunk a bottle of bleach
And you tell yourself 'Never, never again
Well, not until next week anyway'
And you were never one for holding drink
And you stagger off to the toilet
And you throw up like it was Christmas
And you miss the bowl and you hit your shoes
And there's no paper towels
Now what else can go wrong for you?
It's a choice between a cab fare home
And a packet of cigarettes
So you choose and the money sticks
In the machine and the manager says
'Tough shit. -Drink up and leave!'...

Oh god... it's another disease
And you just got rid of the last
You were beginning to feel OK
And the friends you gave it to
Were speaking to you again.

And you find yourself having sex
In the back of a car
And the girl underneath
Doesn't care who you are
And you're nearly there
And she still doesn't care
And her chewing gum
Is getting stuck in your hair
And there's something wrong
Something that you forgot...
Oh Shit, you've forgotten the rubber
And you don't want a kid
Well, deny it was you
Oh Christ!... -if your dad finds out
Then he'll make you stay in
And do your homework
And cut your hair
And wear your school uniform
Out in the street
Oh what a fate worse than death!

Oh well he can't hit you
You can hit him back
And play your records so loud
All the ones that he especially hates
'Deep Purple in Rock', 'Led Zeppelin II'
(-Well even you hate those!)
Well on second thoughts...
I think I'll leave home
And go and live ...er... in America
Because they earn more money there
And they can get away with murder... -YEAH!

Oh, this is a mug's game

I can't wait until I'm twenty one
And I can tell them all to sod off!

Van Morrison ~ T.B. Sheets

Now listen, Julie baby...
It ain't natural for you to cry in the midnight.
It ain't natural for you to cry way into midnight through,
Until the wee small hours long 'fore the break of dawn,
Oh Lord...

Now Julie, there ain't nothin' on my mind
More further away than what you're lookin' for.
I see the way you jumped at me, Lord, from behind the door
And looked into my eyes.

Your a little star struck innuendos
Inadequacies an' foreign bodies,
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain,
And the sunlight shining through the crack in the window pane
Numbs my brain,
Oh Lord...

So open up the window and let me breathe.
I said open up the window and let me breathe.
I'm looking down to the street below, Lord, I cried for you,
I cried... I cried for you...
Oh, Lord...

The cool room, Lord, is a fool's room.
The cool room, Lord, is a fool's room.
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets
On your sick bed.

I gotta go, I gotta go
And you said: "Please stay... I wanna, I wanna,
I want a drink of water, I want a drink of water,
Go in the kitchen get me a drink of water."
I said: "I gotta go, I gotta go, baby."
I said: "I'll… I'll send somebody around here later.
You know we got John comin' around here later
With a bottle of wine for you, baby... -But I gotta go."

The cool room, Lord is a fool's room,
The cool room, Lord... Lord is a fool's room, a fool's room.
And I can almost smell your T.B. sheets,
I can almost smell your T.B. sheets, T.B. ...

I gotta go, I gotta go.
I'll send around, send around one them <unintelligible Van mumble>* later on babe...
See what I can pick up for you, you know.
Yeah, I got a few things goin' too
Don't worry about it, don't worry about it, don't worry...
Huh uh, go, go, go, I've gotta go, gotta go, gotta go, gotta go,
Gotta go, gotta go, huh uh, alright, alright, huh huh huh.

I'll turned on the radio,
If you wanna hear a few tunes, I'll turn on the radio for you.
There you go, there you go, there you go, baby, there you go...

You'll be alright, too, yeah.
Ha ha... I know it ain't funny, it ain't funny at all baby,
Always laying in the cool room, man, laying in the cool room,
In the cool room, in the cool room...

----------------------------------------------

Fucking brilliant.

Up On a Hill, As the Day Dissolves
With My Pencil Turning Moments Into Line
High Above in the Violet Sky
A Silent Silver Plane - It Draws a Golden Chain


One By One, All the Stars Appear
As the Great Winds of the Planet Spiral In
Spinning Away, Like the Night Sky At Arles
In the Million Insect Storm, the Constellations Form


On a Hill, Under a Raven Sky
I Have no Idea Exactly What I've Drawn
Some Kind of Change, Some Kind of Spinning Away
With Every Single Line Moving Further Out in Time


And Now As the Pale Moon Rides (In the Stars)
Her Form in My Pale Blue Lines (In the Stars)
And There, As the World Rolls Round (In the Stars)
I Draw, But the Lines Move Round (In the Stars)
There, As the Great Wheels Blaze (In the Stars)
I Draw, But My Drawing Fades (In the Stars)
And Now, As the Old Sun Dies (In the Stars)
I Draw, and the Four Winds Sigh (In the Stars)

 

[SubZeroCat]

And it's a hard life
For a man with no wife
Baby, it's a hard life
God makes you live

But without it,
Don't doubt it
You don't even have
Your tears to give

I wake up and I'm fine
With my dreamings still on my mind
But it doesn't take long, you see
For the demons to come and visit me
And i've got my problems
Sometimes love doesn't solve them
And i end each day in a song

And it's a hard life
For a man with no wife
Lord, it's a hard life
God makes you live

But without it,
Baby don't doubt it
You don't even have
Your tears to give

I know i'm a hard man
To live with sometimes
Maybe it ain't in me
To make you a happy wife of mine

And maybe you'll kill me
Honey i don't blame you
If i were in your place,
Maybe that's what i would do

But i ain't breathing
Let me breath
Let me go
Let me leave
I don't know
But i might lose
I might bum
I hate to blow a fuse

So let me go,
Lay down
On my own
Let me drown
Let me go
Go where you don't know

Sad lyrics but I'm actually very chirpy today

 

[SubZeroCat]

A la belle étoile
J'ai vu ton visage gris
T'avais un chagrin d'amour
Les mensonges, c'est désespéré


Où est la cavalière?
Tu n'es plus brave
Je t'ai perdue dans la foule
Tu as coulé sous les flots


La mer était calme mais il pleuvait sans cesse
J'ai compté les bateaux, j'ai compté la tristesse
Et combien de vies cela a-t-il coûté?
Et combien de vies cela a-t-il coûté?


Avé Maria
Avé Maria

 

[xes]

I'm not sure,I thin it's saying
bang bang bang bang bang bang bang

it's deep man.

 

[Iam]

Ay yo, when I shoot a rhyme I make you shudder
I shitter shatter MC's for tryin to steal my butter
He's bitter cuz I'm better, so now he drinks the bottle
I did a dirty duty with a cutie she's a model
I met her at the party scoped her body, name was Patty
She's pregnant with a shorty, said that I'm the baby's daddy
Just paper(?) sweet potatoes nine months later had a daughter
Coulda said "I'll see ya later" but I stayed to child support her
I didn't love the baby's mother
Now she's colder cuz I told her
For the better that my other lady's name was Heather
She's like whatever, whatever, a tear she cried it but she dried it
Deeply hurted, broken hearted, but she tried to hide it
But finally she pleaded that she didn't want to end it or suspend it
She wanted me to sever ties with Heather
So we could be together
I said I'd think about it, but I know she don't believe it
She kissed me on my cheek and as she drove away she speeded
The next day, I'm greeted by her mother
Oh brother, she think I'm stupid
Tryin to play cupid undercover
Talkin about how me and Patty made the cutest couple
Then invited me for supper
Now don't think that I'm petty
But I know what desperate ladies put in their spaghetti
That's why I told her that I ate already
Oh shmack, the hell?
Ay yo, ay yo, check this out
Yo, after we parted that's when trouble started
Patty was actin all retarded
I tried to disregard it but she keeps playin on my phone and blowin up my pager
I wonder, how she keep gettin my number?
But I find out later Patty was a good friend of Brenda, the operator
I didn't sweat it
I coulda did something about it, but forgive and forget
The next day I got a letter
Yeah, you know who wrote it
I can't quote it in the same exact words she stated
But it was saying something about the times that we dated
The baby we created
She said she hated me for leaving
And soon she would get even
Sincerely, Patricia Stevens
After I read it, I knew where this was headed
And I couldn't let it go no further, not even a little
Right in the middle of this thought I was caught by surprise
It was a call from the hospital
Somebody named Dr. Evans
Telling me that my lovely Heather was in room 311
So pedal to the metal I got there in seven seconds
She's alive on my arrival, even though the signs are vital
I asked the doc what happened
A hit and run accident and not a single witness police never caught the driver
Deep inside I knew that Patty did this
Yo, so if you find true love, hold on til the end
Cuz we all know the women outnumber the men
I caught one to play me close like her name was Glenn
And I'll be damned if I ever let it happen again
Fatal Attraction
Yea, yea, I caught one to play me close like her name was Glenn

 

[SubZeroCat]

Stand up against the wall
So I can make you out
Do do you wanna be it?
You take the power out.
One day we'll be wandering…


Girl you'll be a dandy
And a deserter
You sit astride your horses
Dressed as Nelson


I wanna see her
I wanna see her
I wanna see her with her horses
Oh yeah

I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear
I bet I'd like your underwear


You got it down
You got it down

Uh huh
You got it down
You got it down

 

[Iam]

Nah, I say "fuck it!"

How you feel, What the hell is this shit?
Reaching for the cover, turning up your deck
Who's blowing your cassette? Color me for suspect
Terror's what I am, terrorism's what I rep
Rap hezbollah, we don't forgive or forget
Strapped wi' dynamite, kamikaze rock the mic
Suicide, stage dive, it's gonna be a live night
Now just to be accurate, label me immaculate
Short fuse like monagues fuel capulets
Elaborate labyrinth, lavish pimp pattering
Rip, rude to ravishing, cabbage scavenging
from word babbling, babbling brook and words travelling
Like Miles Tattling, I'm kind of partial to battling
Haven't you heard, you got beef from a so cattle then
Hit the sunset saddling, rap Bronco
Riding over tracks, Lone Ranger and Tanto
Compose on the console, making it feel better
Sunny to ill weather, I'm a all-season pro
All-terrain flow, shift five gears with four-by-four
On the go in the fast lane without reverse, I can't slow
No brakes, push the pedal to the metal
The Formula One devil
Heating up the treble, I rock like Prudential
Most cats is just Pebbles, when you want it live you can't
Compromise or settle, check my water level
My reservoir pours Great Lakes fifty States
And across seashores, the word spreads like pollen from spores
Like wisdom from folklores, my fans from tours
And those are just metaphores
For how I distribute to you and yours
Opening doors
We bum rush like a drug bust
Nickel and dime, now all is mine alumnus, illustrous, wondrous
Ominous in my Prime, call me Optimus Senim
Transforming slang on the fire maximize
Complete fumigation better jet for ventilation
Before you suffer from Senim inhalation
Air deprivation
Playing me for jolly, that's a dead man's folly
Or crippled probably
On the good ship, get popped for acting lolly
By the son of Bobby, bro how you like me now, like pulling a shotty
Pistol whip your head, now they throw your boys lobby
You'll be callin on the dolly
Senim's of the size of the kill with a slang blade
Some call it a kaiser
Equalizer blows your brains, expose your wiser
Now which bastard wants some acid
Corrosive chemicals casted
Spitting venom I mastered
Ran with dogs as rabid and rivers as rapid
Rapping five we don't tire
Do you desire to become cross-fire
Blow their gun-for-hire, Blazing Saddle esquire
Michigan, Michelin, my dogs will never tire.

For some reason, a lot of the lyric sites seem to have slightly different lyrics for lines 4, 5, 6 & 7. Wonder why...

 

[onemonkey]

Soon I discovered that this rock thing was true
Jerry lee lewis was the devil
Jesus was an architect previous to his career as a prophet
All of a sudden, I found myself in love with the world
So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

Ding dang a dong bong bing bong
Ticky ticky thought of a gun
Everytime I try to do it all now baby

I can't believe someone bothered to transcribe those

 

[Iam]

Life's riddles are strange, I'm sick of the days/daze the art of dyin'
to symbolize change, witness the pain
Blocks of free cheese, Becky sold her crib for coke
Slept with the baby and crushed her ribs in the middle of smoke
Close encounters, pedophiles in schools posing as janitors
Backgrouns checks where they collected the death tolls from Canada
Acura shootouts under my windows filled with passengers
Throwbacks splattered with brains, zip them up with no bandages
Anybody gets it, somebody wetted JMJ
No respect for his craft, shot in his face, laughed and they ran away
Too many massacres, too many babies pass away
I'm only blastin' to comfort you humans in the last days

[Chorus]
We turn the page, the inner self, it's the art of dying
The book of change blood, we never stopped climbin'
Time be movin' too fast, it's just the art of dying
Police sirens, no food in the fridge, mama's cryin'

I asked God if I'm redeemed at all for things I seen and did
As a kid I grew up foul with bitterness from being poor
Beat up Puma's and pants, didn't understand
Fightin' with mom, the pizza place don't take food stamps
I'm losin' my grip, everybody's pops was strict
My uncle was cool till the cancer devoured his dick
I never looked back, I buried more souls than I knew
Eulogies so familiar to me, tears and the stench of glue
Predict apocalypse, cynic visions of two
Mini images of towns fallin' and women consumed
These killers have proved it boils down to oil and food
Another newscast hovers the clouds to poison the mood

[Chorus]

Prescriptions we don't need, religion we don't feed
Get the Henny out, sellin up V's and smokin' trees
Stay tanked up, double shanks up, spiritually bankrupt
Walk through Canarsie like Big bangin', gettin' my gangs up
These little hoes sellin' checks for stoges
Tradin' ya diapers for dutches, benefits for clothes
Hockin' freebies, she rockin' on socks stinkin' of feces
Video bitches, easy to pop, most are disease freaks
Shorty with five seeds and three in her face
Whilin out, smokin' krills up, puffin' up in the baby's face
Get him some Ritalin, quick, he turns killer when
He starts illin', never got love, never to live again
Who break the cycle, his life is only to kill again
Once innocent but the hatred's turnin' on him again

[Chorus]

 

[Dubversion]

Arguably the most profound line in rock

So there was only one thing that I could do
Was ding a ding dang my dang a long ling long

pure poetry

 

[Hi-ASL]

Do you realise
That everyone you know someday will die
And instead of saying all of your goodbyes
Let them know you realise that life goes fast
Its how to make the good things last
You realise the sun doesn't go down
It?s just an illusion caused by the world spinning round.

 

[Hi-ASL]

A small boy, bucket in hand,
Building castles in the sand,
Thinking of his life that lies ahead.
An engine driver, sailor, why not a king
Of the sand castle, as the gypsy woman said.

Taking a ride on a dinky rail,
A green engine that's old
Could be a royal procession through big city streets.
Waving to the crowds from a sand carpet of gold,
Shaking hands with the VIP's one meets.

Sailing a toy boat in a rock pool,
Thinking that it could be
The Queen Mary passing the Cape Horn tip.
Oh, something majestic, sailing worldwide seas.
"Attention, please, I'm the captain of this ship."

After all these thoughts and more,
The boy returned to find
That the sand castles had been washed into the sea.
Head in hands, eyes full of tears,
And a mixed-up mind,
The gypsy woman can't foresee the years.

 

[Iam]

[Ill Bill]
Had the time of his life a capitalist with a communist wife
Started to fight and did to cats what God did to Christ
Hardly the type to give garbage advice
He was larger than life
He penetrated the roof of your car with a spike
Trained by an insane ex marine
CIA trained a renegade assassin android
Passport pilot to black helicopter choppers over Bosnia
Sniffed so much coke nose is fucked up and bled alot
For all ya'll bystanders baggy ass jeans to hide ya banga wranglers
Thugged the fuck out hang with bash in ya face gat gangsta's
The governments these other kids it's like a drug abyss
That sucked a hundred dicks its yo party the crowd great
Plus the hooker lies great sniff another line to get ya mind straight
Pull out the nine and start shooting people
Money ain't the root of evil it be much more than that
America taught me how to kidnap and torture cats

Chorus: repeat x2

Exit the stargate initial perception quickens my heart rate
This dark place planet Earth orbits one star
Come from afar far away state of mind
Open up your 3rd eye Black Helicopters in the sky

[Goretex]
I need Gs so I can jet easier
My crib tapped I suspect Ether
Thats why I'm out of touch with the media
Undercovers like Pete Seeger
I couldnt tell neither
Watchin the projects with a van of speakers
Peepin how my kids rest bangin my wiz for hours
Surveillance tapes us in the King's Plaza even got us after hours
Drug party's golden showers on the floor shiksa
Work for the FBI so anytime I might whisper
My scary team be like barely clean rockin Israeli jeans
Thats why I mostly heard and rarely seen
Realization so much urgency
Can't escape history's pen I be the worst of me (*echoes*)

Chorus x2

[Sabac]
This cop bring the city hoppa like a rocka with binoculars
Took me these two rastas and [something else] hostage
Said that we were imposters and impetuous government agent
From another nation and said we had the proper information
About the aliens vegetarians devil scenarians
These are civilized Barbarians we fuckin bury them
Baraza said ya pussy blood clot got you shot
I'm like fuck this I'm blowin up spots this shit is hot
We know about the plan from the projects and contraband
Drop bombs on Brazil so you can kill and conquer land
You drug trafficking your new creation for disease
To control the population and the states of overseas
Put poison in the weed and the milk we feed our seeds
You looked shocked that Sabac could know the plots to all of these
Took his glock lift a shot when the bastard wasn't lookin
Threw him out then the monster flew the chopper back to Brooklyn

Chorus x2

 

[Strumpet]

When the room is quiet
The daylight almost gone
It seems there's something I should know
Well I ought to leave but
The rain it never stops
And I have no particular place to go

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder then before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

Well I'm feeling nervous
And I find myself alone
The simple life's no longer there
Once I was so sure
Now the doubt inside my mind
Comes and goes but leads nowhere

Just when I think I'm winning
When I've broken every door
The ghosts of my life
Blow wilder then before
Just when I thought I could not be stopped
When my chance came to be king
The ghosts of my life
Blew wilder than the wind

 

[foamy]

this:

Lovin you is easy cause youre beautiful
Makin love with you is all I wanna do
Lovin you is more than just a dream come true
And everything that I do is out of lovin you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

No one else can make me feel
The colors that you bring
Stay with me while we grow old
And we will live each day in springtime
Cause lovin you has made my life so beautiful
And every day my life is filled with lovin you

Lovin you I see your soul come shinin through
And every time that we oooooh
Im more in love with you
La la la la la la la... do do do do do

 

[foamy]

but now this:

Losing the star without a sky
Losing the reasons why
You're losing the calling that you've been faking
And I'm not kidding

It's damned if you don't and it's damned if you do
Be true 'cause they'll lock you up in a sad sad zoo
Oh hidy hidy hidy what cha tryin to prove
By hidy hidy hiding you're not worth a thing

Sew your fortunes on a string
And hold them up to light
Blue smoke will take
A very violent flight
And you will be changed
Sand everything
And you will be in a very sad sad zoo.

I once was lost but now I'm found was blind
But now I see you
How selfish of you to believe in the meaning of all the bad dreaming

Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing

Metal heart you're not hiding
Metal heart you're not worth a thing

 

[Kameron]

Team Ultraviolence racing
Hardcore
Team Ultraviolence racing
Fucking fast
Titanium plated in an armour piercing shell
My heart fires back in a revenge attack so you too can live in hell
Lips that don't move
Eyes that are fixed
But you miss when you try to hit what has ceased to exist
When it's one for the quick and two for the dead
You cannot compete when I'm three points ahead
Faster than Schumacher
Four to the floor
Hardcore speed is easy with no feelings at all
Should've made this decision way back when
And had no effect from the girls and the screaming
Now I can't turn my head
And I don't have no choice
It's the sound of regret in a distant voice

Of all the things I've known myself to be
I never recognised the fool
You saw me standing in the dark
You're face it shines then turns it's back on me
Now I can't think and I can't feel
You saw me standing in the dark

Spinning out tracks like a DJ insane
But team Ultraviolence is not insane
Team Ultraviolence is racing
The destination decimation destruction and self-termination
When it's one for the lover and two for the pain
Burning and pounding again and again
Faster than Schumacher
Four to the floor
This is hardcore, motherfucker
Get dead on the dancefloor

Of all the things I've known myself to be
I never recognised the fool
You saw me standing in the dark
And far away I hear the sirens scream
They're screaming "I love you love me"
But I can't face them in the dark

I know now where destructiveness comes from
It's a place without love where everything's wrong
This is hardcore, motherfucker

 

[foamy]

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
who's still around the morning after
we broke up a month ago and I grew up I didn't know
I'd be around the morning after

it's always been wait and see
a happy day and then you pay
and feel like shit the morning after
but now I feel changed around and instead falling down
I'm standing up the morning after

situations get fucked up and turned around sooner or later

and I could be another fool or an exception to the rule
you tell me the morning after
crooked spin can't come to rest
I'm damaged bad at best
she'll decide what she wants
I'll probably be the last to know
no one says until it shows and you see how it is
they want you or they don't
say yes

I'm in love with the world through the eyes of a girl
who's still around the morning after

 

[Kameron]

I chase your every footstep
and I follow every whim.
When you call the tune I'm ready
to strike up the battle hymn.
My lady of the meadows,
My comber of the beach.
You've thrown the stick for your dog's trick
but it's floating out of reach.
The long road is a rainbow and the pot of gold lies there.
So slip the chain and I'm off again
You'll find me everywhere. I'm a Rover.

As the robin craves the summer
to hide his smock of red,
I need the pillow of your hair
in which to hide my head.

I'm simple in my sadness,
resourceful in remorse.
Then I'm down straining at the lead
holding on a windward course.

Strip me from the bundle
of balloons at every fair:
colourful and carefree
Designed to make you stare.
But I'm lost and I'm losing
the thread that holds me down.
And I'm up hot and rising
in the lights of every town.

People say I'm the life of the party
Because I tell a joke or two
Although I might be laughing loud and hearty
Deep inside I'm blue
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Since you left me if you see me with another girl
Seeming like I'm having fun
Although she may be cute
She's just a substitute
Because you're the permanent one..
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears..
I need you, need you
Outside I'm masquerading
Inside my hope is fading
Just a clown oh yeah
Since you put me down
My smile is my make up
I wear since my break up with you..
So take a good look at my face
You'll see my smile looks out of place
If you look closer, it's easy to trace
The tracks of my tears

Butcher the paper with a ravenous pen, Carving out trees and scoring skin
Animals too placed in plastic cages, carted around these filthy pages
I will draw Japan
Spectres holding sceptres with fingers thin, empty vessels asserting,
We are still King, we are still King
Black stuff running like nosebleed danger
Swarming towards the scource of the noise
I will draw Japan, with fervent hands
Black cells depict a foreign land ,I draw Japan
Sleeping city emits no sound, in this compound
No beast awalks, in this compound
No beast awalks, in this compound
I will draw Japan with a ravenous pen, hungry for oil and iron and tin
To your left a concrete factory, smoke billows, fists punch, Victory!
And my hands start shaking, and Japan starts shaking
And I begin to draw out Japan, in the shape of a man
Seen rushing through a market town, through the compound
No beast awalks in this compound
No beast awalks in this compound

I had tender feelings that you made hard,
But its your heart, not mine, thats scarred.
So when I go home, Ill be happy to go -
Youre just somebody that I used to know.

You dont need my help anymore,
Its all now to you, there aint no before,
Now that youre big enough to run your own show
Youre just somebody that I used to know.

I watched you deal in a dying day,
And throw a living past away,
So you can be sure that youre in control,
Youre just somebody that I used to know.

I know you dont think you did me wrong,
And I cant stay this mad for long,
Keeping a hold of what you just let go -
Youre just somebody that I used to know

 

[Tank Girl]

Why dont you fool me, feed me, say you need me without wicked games
Come on and hold me, hug me, say you love me, and not my dirty brain
Why don't you fool me, feed me, say you need me ,without wicked games
Come on and hold me, hug me, say you love me, and not my dirty brain

I got one Alabama return
that'll take me far away from you
cause when you take me in your arms I turn to slave but I cant be saved


So I got my cappuchino to go and I’m heading for the hills again
Cause if we party anymore we'll start a fire of pure desire
Closer ,your minds firing blind
With your head in your face getting red in your heart beats ,closer
you fall on your knees and the geek at your feet says your neat
and the beat gets closer
You dive for the thrill at the kill and your heart’s had its fill
But it still creeps closer
You wanted to freeze but your weak in too deep and the beat and the beat gets closer


Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer Closer
We give it up and then they take it away
A girl’s got to zip it up
And get her head in the shade
Baby we give it up
Its just a matter of time
Throw all the heavy stuff
Comes back to bite your behind


You can’t mistake my Biology


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
its there in our thoughts


The magic number is in front of me


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
so easily caught


You can’t mistake my Biology


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
its there in our thoughts


We’re gonna cause a controversy


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
so easily caught


Why don't you fool me, feed me say, you need me without wicked games
Come on and hold me, hug me, say you love me, and not my dirty brain
Why don't you fool me, feed me, say you need me without wicked games
Come on and hold me, love me, say you love me, and not my dirty brain


You can’t mistake my Biology


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
its there in our thoughts


The magic number is in front of me


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
so easily caught

You can’t mistake my Biology


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
its there in our thoughts


We’re gonna cause a controversy


The way that we talk
The way that we walk
so easily caught

The path you tread is narrow
And the drop is shear and very high
The ravens all are watching
From a vantage point nearby
Apprehension creeping
Like a tube-train up your spine
Will the tightrope reach the end
Will the final couplet rhyme

And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me

A butterfly with broken wings
Is falling by your side
The ravens all are closing in
And there's nowhere you can hide
Your manager and agent
Are both busy on the phone
Selling coloured photographs
To magazines back home

And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me

The lines converging where you stand
They must have moved the picture plane
The leaves are heavy around your feet
You hear the thunder of the train
And suddenly it strikes you
That they're moving into range
Doctor Strange is always changing size

And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me

And it's high time
Cymbaline
It's high time
Cymbaline
Please wake me

Night came to me
Like a tired movie star
Crept up to me in the dark
I heard it call

You’re too tired to listen to me
But you’ll miss me
If you sleep
And what’s a day
Without a night
To give it birth

Lie below
Watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
How can you say
The night is free

You cursed me cause i stole the light
But i helped the blind
Took everybody’s sight
Then they bought the light from the day
Now there’s not a safe place

And what’s a day
Without a night
To give it birth
Lie below watch it rise
What is worse
I need her like
She needs me
how can you say
The night is free

Closing time - open all the doors and let you out into the world.
Closing time - turn all the lights on over every boy and every girl.
Closing time - one last call for alcohol, so finish your whiskey or beer.
Closing time - you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home...

Closing time - time for you to go out to the places you will be from.
Closing time - this room won't be open 'til your brothers or you sisters come.
So gather up your jackets, and move it to the exits - I hope you have found a friend.
Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.
Yeah,

I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home...

Closing time - time for you to go out to the places you will be from...

I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home...

I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
I know who I want to take me home.
Take me home...

Closing time - every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end...

Me sittin round cool with my jiggy jiggy girl
Police knock my door, lick up my pal
Rough me up and I cant do a thing
Pick up my line when my telephone ring
Take me to the station, black up my hands
Trail me down 'cause I'm hangin with the Snowman
What an I gonna do, I'm backed and I'm trapped
Smack me in my face, took all of my gap
They have no clues and they wanna get warmer
But Shan won't turn informer
