- 03. Mark Bowen
Love...it's a beginning
A justifiable means to an end
And happiness, that triumphant feeling
Only comes from within
But ...you'll...never make the grade
No you'll never, ever reach that plateau
You're down below
And it's where your soul will forever glow
- A Small Victory
A hierarchy
Spread out on the nightstand
The spirit of team
Salvation is another chance
A sore loser
Yelling with my mouth shut
A cracking portrait
- Absolute Zero
Can we being at the end to save some time?
Dead center
Point blank
Together
The clock is ticking
You have no authority here
Float like a dead man down the river
And there are no streets in this city
- Anne's Song
"HEY!" WHAT?? "Oh nothing, just wondering why it is you're doing that whatever it is you're doing. "Oh yeah, why?" I dunno it just doesn't seem like something you'd be doing that's all you of all people, know what I mean? "Yeah I know it's been bugging you since the day I was born, huh? I asked my friend Anne about it. I said, 'Anne, Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do, it's been bugging them since the day that I was born.' She said 'Do whatever the hell you want to do! Now is the time to do whatever you want, and it will still turn out great. You've got the world at your feet.'"
I never claimed to be different, I only said I was bored and she's tired of your uniqueness, it sends her over head first then the rest of her follows, the breath of life, it never left her hollow...
I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile.
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne.
Anne, Anne, Who? Anne Dagnabit Island princess queen with the juice
- Arabian Disco
Has it been so long?
Do you think we know?
Do you think we care?
Die...for the here and now
Do you remember why?
Do you remember how?
Face .... out
- As The Worm Turns
One day you're thinking that maybe you're feeling better
And you're probably an OK person, if only you had a job...
Through the hollow tombs can see them
Through their mouths I can hear them praying for pain
But it's only a game
Listen, man, I know
That things are really rough
And everybody gets you
- Ashes to Ashes
I want them to know it's me
It's on my head
I'll point the finger at me
It's on my head
Give it all to you
Then I'll be closer
- be aggressive
I started this
It's all for me
What's yours is mine and mine is mine
That's plain to see
So give it up
I've got to have
I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW, I SWALLOW
Be aggressive
- Blood
It doesn't really matter, the things you say to me
Cause if I had a ladder, up there is where I'd be
Outta here where the air is cold, you're messing with my mind
Hey! You do it every time, Hey! And the season comes around
Once more,once more.
It doesn't really matter, the things you try to say
It doesn't really matter, you say 'em every day
- caralho voador
They all know me by my car
They all know I'm gone, but not how far
I'm heading straight down 101
I'm going to go and get me some
My lips are movin' but there's no sound
Someday somebody's gonna get run down
Eu não posso dirigir
- Chinese Arithmetic
Candle light, it burns in every hole of your eyes
It's beautiful, how much you'll never realize
So hush my love, there's something I'm to tell you now
Your time has come, around again my sleepless one
Your friend was young, hung and plastered
He never knew his own disaster
I think it's good, in fact it was faster

Sink the eight ball
Buy the lady a drink
And nobody knows my name
Bodies float up
From the bottom of the river
Like bubbles in fine champagne
He's the one, no doubt
Walkin' on a tightrope
- Digging The Grave
It would be wrong to ask you why
Because I know what goes inside
Is only half of what comes out
Isn't that what it's about ?
To remind us we're alive
To remind us we're not blind
In that big, black hole
Comfortable
- Easy
I know it sounds funny but I just can't stand the pain
Girl I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl you know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole, and I borrowed
Yeah...Ooo
That's why I'm easy
Aah, aah, aah, aah
- Easy Like Sunday Morning
Know it sounds funny

Come here, my love
I'll tell you a secret
Come closer, now

Don't worry, baby
There's nothing to fear
- Epic
Can you feel it, see it, hear it today?
If you can't, then it doesn't matter anyway
You will never understand it cuz it happens too fast
And it feels so good, it's like walking on glass
It's so cool, it's so hip, it's alright
It's so groovy, it's outta sight
You can touch it, smell it, taste it so sweet
But it makes no difference cuz it knocks you off your feet
- Everything's Ruined
Things worked out better than we had planned
Capital from boy, woman and man.
We were like ink and paper
Numbers on a calculator
Knew arithmetic so well
Working overtime
Completed what was assigned
We had to multiply ourselves
- Evidence
If you want to open the hole
Just put your head down and go
Step beside the piece of the circumstance
Got to wash away the taste of evidence
Wash it away (evidence)
I didn't feel a thing
- Falling To Pieces
Back and forth, I sway with the wind
Resolution slips away again
Right through my fingers, back into my heart
Where it's out of reach and it's in the dark
Sometimes I think I'm blind
Or I may be just paralyzed
- Faster Disco
Styling, you know you are styling
So turn to the mirror and blow yourself a kiss
It goes just like this
You've done it a thousand times
It's as easy as drinking wine, only now it's blood
Here it come again
(Treating you so kind)
- From Out Of Nowhere
Tossed into my mind, stirring the calm
You splash me with beauty and pull me down
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
Obsession rules me-Im yours from the start
I know you see me-our eyes interlock
You come from out of nowhere
My glance turns to a stare
- Get Out
What if there's no more fun to have?
And all I've got is what I had
What if I have forgotten how?
Cut my losses and get out now
Get out right now
There's something stronger than me
There's something I don't want to see
- Got That Feeling
Got that feeling
Luck is just a little of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning
A to Z
Look what you're missing, as we speak
Your number's rising, take a peak
There's just enough to go around Get a piece
- Helpless
The air is warm
I hear the wind in the trees
I know I'm there but I'll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
- I never felt better now -
Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and all the poetry is lost
- I Started a Joke
I started a joke
Which started the whole world crying
Oh but I didn't see
That the joke was on me...oh no..
And I started to cry
Which started the whole world laughing
Oh if I'd only seen
That the joke was on me
- I'am Easy
Know it sounds funny
But, I just can't stand the pain
Girl, I'm leaving you tomorrow
Seems to me girl
You know I've done all I can
You see I begged, stole, and
I borrowed! (yeah)
Ooh that's why I'm easy
- Introduce Yourself
From the day I was born,
I took the bull by the horns,
and gave you plenty to scorn,
well right on!
Then you said in a song
that life was gettin real tough,
but hey I think that you're bluffing,
- Jizzlobber
They will sum it all up in a sentence
a veredict made by those who know
I´m ready to make a commitment
I´m willing to make love to concrete
Smiles
bruises
smiles
- Just A Man
Sky is clear tonight
Sky is clear tomorrow
A star is out
I reach for one to sparkle in my hand
A star is out
I will not touch you, I am just a man
- Kindergarten
Return to my own vomit like a dog
Rhymes and giggles muffle the dialogue
Carve my initials in a tree, I will never leave
Maybe one day I'll be royalty
Kingdom
Kindergarten
Born late
- King for a day
It is not a good day, if you are not looking good
This is the best party that I've ever been to
Today I asked for a God to pour some wine in my eyes
Today I asked for someone to shake some salt on my life
Look !
Everything's spinning
(we're on the ground)
Never cheer before you know who's winning
- King For A Day, Fool For A Lifetime
It is not a good day if you are not looking good
This is the best party that I've ever been to

Today I asked for someone to shake some salt in my life
Look!
Everything's spinning
(We're on the ground)

You have a winning way, so keep it
Your future, your future, your future

From fasting to feasting, to feasting
Life to you is a dashing, bold adventure
So sing and rejoice, sing and rejoice
- Last Cup Of Sorrow
This is getting old
and so are you.
Everything you know
and never knew.
Will run through your fingers
just like sand.
Enjoy it while you can.
Like a snake between two stones
- Light Up And Let Go
The way you're holding me
I'm gonna blow up in your face
You know the way
You gotta light up and let go
(I won't, I won't, I won't)
You'd better let go
Let go
- Midlife Crisis
Go on and wring my neck
Like when a rag gets wet
A little discipline
For my pet genius
My head is like a lettuce
Go on and dig your thumbs in
I cannot stop giving
I'm thirty-something
- Mouth to Mouth
Ahhhhey!
Ahhhhey!
You tied the knot,
A legend is what you bought
I give you cold water,
And you swear it was wine
You bought time
If you can fool yourself,
- Naked in Front of the Computer
My box is full
And my mouth is full
And my life is full
And now my memory's full
In how many ways and words
Can you say nothing
Millions of ways and words
- Paths of Glory
You squirt out red and turn so yellow
And then you made me kill my own
I'm not afraid
(coming, coming)
But I'm afraid
Blood in your eyes again
Bravery, the face of man
- R N' R
Don't put that thing too close to my head
It took this long just to get ahead, he says
He knows for sure but that he can't decide
Between his decency and this matter of pride
So he's growin' up on time, he's growin' up in the middle
Said he's growin' up on time, he's growin' up in the middle
Get down, growin' up on time, growin' up in the middle
- Ricochet
All of that thick time without you
Has made me so thick and drunk
"and it's okay to laugh about it"
I said, "it's okay to laugh about it"
Running twice as fast to stay in the same place
Don't catch my breath to the end of the day
And I'd rather be shot in the face
- RV
Backside melts into the sofa
My world my TV and my food
Besides listening to my belly gurgle
There ain't much else to do
Yeah, I sweat a lot
Pants fall down everytime I bend over
My feet itch
Yeah - I married a scarecrow
- Separation Anxiety
Separate the anxiety [3x]
You know it's mine
Had love come back
Like it was before
House creaking
The hinges on the door
Thoughts creeping
- She Loves Me Not
I'm here, alone, on the telephone line
I'm right where you want me to be
And I'll wait (here), to love (and) and never ask why
I'll be where you want me to be
And I know (and I know)
And I know (and I know)
And I know (and I know)
And I know (and I know)
- Smaller And Smaller
Drought makes the workers dream
Muscles and fields of green
Shovel the last few crumbs
Of generosity
Open heart, open mind, open mouth, open vein
DRAIN
Someday the rains will come
My blistered hands tell me
- Star A.D.
Star A.D.
See tomorrow dreamin'
You don't need your freedom
Star A.D.

I love this place
The lights....
- Surprise - You Are Dead
Surprise! you're dead!!
Ha ha! open your eyes
See the world as it used to be when you used to be in it
When you were alive and when you were in love
And when I took it from you!
It's not over yet
You don't remember?
I won't let you forget

I can wait for you
Far away, I'll treat you better
Better than down here
Cuz I done wrong
And I'm a little afraid
I ain't too strong
- The Big Kahuna
What's it to you?
Let's make it new
Let's make it die, make it die
There's nothing wrong
It's lived to long
And the plesure is yours and mine
You conceived me now you wanna kill me
- The Cowboy Song
Tears fall....They scarred your innocent teens.
Love's fool....The company you envy.
Leaves fall....The seasons pass you by.
And you think, that maybe you can fly.
Serious fool....Relate your mind to a girl.
Crowds form....But think, smiling, of his peril.
Beautiful....The pavement isn't there.
But whats the last thing that goes through your head?
- The gentle art of making enemies
The words are so familiar -
All the same greats, the same mistakes
It doesn't have to be like this.
If you don't make a friend, now
One might make you -
So learn
The gentle art of making enemies
- The Last To Know
Where it grows on trees
But never blooms
Where it hurts the least for whoever
Saw it first
First to go and the last to know
Lasts longer than a lifetime
Takes the least amount of effort
Feels better than a bargain
- The Morning After
Awakened by the sun light
Victimized by last night
Memories flashin' through my head
Was I just born or am I dead?
Yesterday's forgotten, the morning after
I can taste you, I can hear your laughter
Fading in the distance
Recollections drifting
- The Perfect Crime
Girl listens to mom
So she lights a match and pretends to sleep
While everything burns
Man drives nowhere
So he pressed the pedal, hit a few dogs
And felt good
Boy hears teacher's words
So he closed his eyes and stepped in front
- The Real Thing
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
The essence of the truth
The perfect moment
That golden moment
I know you feel it too
I know the feeling
It is the real thing
- This Guy's In Love With You
You see this guy
this guy's in love with you
Yes, I'm in love
who looks at you the way I do
when you smile I can tell
we know each other very well
how can I show you I'm glad
- Underwater Love
Looking down into the water
It's hard to make out your face
If our love is drowning, then why
Do I feel so out of place?
Bubbling up to the surface
Are you getting a breath of fresh air?
Forever longing to make you mine
But I can't escape your stare...
- War Pigs
Generals gathered in their masses
Just like witches at black masses
Evil minds that plot destruction
Sorcerers of death's construction
In the fields the bodies burning
As the war machine keeps turning
Death and hatred to mankind
Poisoning their brainwashed minds
- We Care A Lot
We care a lot
We care a lot
We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about nasa shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation and the food that live aid bought
We care a lot about disease, baby, rock hudson, rock yeah!
We care a lot
We care a lot

A piece of mail
A letter head
A piece of hair
From a human head
You're sayin' to me
"I should've killed it"
"I should've killed it"
- Why Do You Bother
Why hold on?
Your hands are getting sore
You must be scared of something
From the time before, well...

How long, who knows?
It's not your right to tell me
Where this trip will go
- Zombie Eaters
You're everything
That's why I cling to you
When I emerge
My thoughts converge to you
To you
The world is so small
Compared to you
And everybody's wrong
