- Deep Thrills
I'm pushing out into the blueness
A soul soothing silence
Helping me to get through this
I'm floating breathless
Calmer that a Buddhist
In the newness
Of a world untouched by
Human hands
- Disco Friends
Shes got a whole lot of disco friends,
Disco ladies and gentlemen,
Eating their faces from the inside out,
Freaky dancing til the late am,
Music slipping down the wall of sweat,
Shes catching fishies in a disco net,
Throwing kisses in the powder room,
Slowly sucking on a cigarette
- Doctor Doctor
Most of these pricks are hypnotised
Staring at her tits and shiny thighs
Diamond jewel tips and their wiley eyes
But they just don’t recognise
I see her walk
Looking side to side
And everybody stops
- Embers
The facts and the figures,
They Overwhelm a stifle,
everything that you thought you knew.
The facts and the figures
They Overwhelm a stifle,
from the very first breath you drew
- Heartburn
There's a dragon
Blowing fire
In my ventricles
And I can feel
The grip now
Of these tentacles
And I had ideas
Back when I was very young
- I Talk Too Much
Sometimes I don't say the right things to make you love me even more than you do.
Though I try, I just can't apologize for all the things I'm putting you through
I talk too much.
And that's why I'm doing in your head (tonight).
We talk too much.
Some things are better left unsaid (that's right)
- Lo And Behold
I said Lo..
Lo and behold
I just wanna know
Why I'm so cold
And I hope I learn, before I get old
How I can burn
When I feel so co-oh-oh-old
- Lost
Picture this, 2:30 on the hottest night in June
He awakes for no reason and checks his watch by the moon
And his mouth feels as dry as his eyes as he struggles to rise
And stops to contemplate his wifes thighs as he does up his flies
He finds his slippers where he left them under the chair
Behind the two cups and an old copy of Marie Claire
And he switches on the coffee machine
- Mourning Morning
Morning lights don't scratch my eyes
Just let me wash up on the shore
I used to have the strangest dreams
But they don't come here anymore
My duvet's laid out like an (outless) with stains to mark the borderlines
Indentations in my pillow I hope won't fade with time
Smoke the roach left in the ashtray on which I choked the night before
- Snapshot Memories
[Part I]
Well I'm a secret lemonade drinker a free thinker
I stay focused but not blinkered
And these snapshot memories in my mind
Legacies from another time
And I find
That as the days pass the colours fade
- Snowflakes
Ice
I'm moving your mental feet
In complex dances and jigs
I loosen up your consciousness
Like a cyrical fix
It's time to emerge from camouflage, leaves, and twigs.
Time to throw away the fake noses and fright wigs.
Time to face the music, no more metaphors,
- Spectacular Failures
Life is but a dream in a greater scheme, waking up is hard to do.
Even if you're quick, something holds you back, always waiting in a queue for someone,
to tell you you're broke, or you should not smoke anymore cigarettes.
Planets will align, if you give them time.
When you least expect, everything connects, even when the hope is gone there is you,
and you'll keep your name, and the things in your brain just might see you through.
'Cos you are light, and in darkest night you shine.
- Starz in their eyes
They'll be making sure you stay amused
They'll fill you up with drugs and booze
Maybe you'll make the evening news
And when you're tripping over your dreams
They'll keep you down by any means
By the end of the night you'll be stifling your screams
- The Day I Died
Drag myself from my bed
Around 20 past 6
Get my kids up make breakfast
1 egg 2 toast 3 weetabix
And as i sit down i look up
and your standing in the doorway sun at your back
in my old brown dressing gown
- Writer's Block
I must have got up about twenty to seven
Had a shower and had breakfast
And had a couple of pieces of toast
You know, forced it down
Then had a cup of coffee
It was pouring with rain
And I thought oh God
