Survived tonight
I may be going down
‘Cos everything goes round too
Tight, tonight
And as you watch me crawl
You stand for more

And your panic stricken

I caused a major war, just by talking
You flew into a rage, 'cos that's everything you know
Childhood of violence, filled with heartage
I flew into a rage, 'cos that's everything I know

I know 100 ways to be a good girl
100 ways, my willingness to please
I know 100 ways to be a good girl

All I want is a mirror
So I can see this so called brighter day
I'm watching all the world crawl back again
Watching how it blows itself away

That's all I want
That's all I want
That's all I want

And here I stand, redskin fist of power
Clawing at the stains of racism
It turns to black, 'cause you're so very credible
But you keep losing track

Cause you don't, my color in your melting pot of love
Where everybody is brown
So here I stand, knee deep in your soiled heritage

Because of you
The tears dead in my eyes
They freeze until I'm blind
The eyes a gift from you

Because of you
The scratches on my face
Will never be erased

You won't stop breathing
He's always kind of get in your way
His eyes are sieving
He is settled up and ready to raid

So when you think about your life
Think about the life you wanna save
He won't stop breathing

Why do I sense, benevolence
You stand tall at my great expense
Thick words of gratitude, what a price to pay
Stuck in my throat, I sell every word I say

But I don't want your charity
Twisting me round
I don't want your charity

I awake
From blood thick dreams
Washing blame
From my knees

Softly done
So secretly
Im awake

I know too well, I know these lines, I've seen them smothered,
in sleek ridicule. A seedy smile,
they think they've scored,
but I know morning comes & babes alone again, too alone again
So what
can I do, with cheap honesty,
you're giving me more than I can see,
but I'm to cool to say, that I

I should be walking on air
But I'm drowning with my
Hands around your neck
Current is strong
Should I take you with me
Breath forever gone
I should have broken my fault
I should stand up for myself

his men have taken all the jewels you gave him
your sweatin' shakin' cos your god loves only you
i am one again
i am one again
i am born again
i am born again
your eyes shine brighter
he takes you higher

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now
Or are those special moods
For someone else
I hope you're feeling happy now

I’d like to invite you
To this pretty little thing
Where the fruits of your labors
Are eaten by the queen
Yeah I’d like to bequest you
A seat with greedy boys
But I’m sorry,
I’ma stop you, at the door

I'll be your sailor girl
I'll tip my cap to your parade
Life won't be dreary no
I'll be the wave inside your bed

Pain is your beauty
It hurts the vision in our eyes
Your eyes are smiling now

Another useless fight
Saddened words ring true
Leaving like a saint
Still clouds follow you

I've seen behind the wall of words
You are sneaky with the facts
Look who's hiding now

I hit him with a piece of his philosophy
Anglo-Saxon muck in his type of greed
What did he do to deserve such hate
(He tried to) intellectualise my blackness

He tried to summerize, to institualise
Still I could recognize, he was materialized

It doesn’t matter that you think you can win
It doesn’t matter that you’ve hopes and you’ve dreams
Invincibility don’t strike like before
You burned your bridges yet you come back for more
-Why oh why is this killing me
could it be that this thing isn’t over
Why oh why does this never cease to be
could it be that this love isn’t over-

It doesn't matter that you think you can win
It doesn't matter that you've hopes and you've dreams
Invincibility don't strike like before
You burned your bridges yet you come back for more
-Why oh why is this killing me
could it be that this thing isn't over
Why oh why does this never cease to be
could it be that this love isn't over-

It doesn't matter that you think you can win
It doesn't matter that you've hopes and you've dreams
Invincibility don't strike like before
You burned your bridges yet you come back for more
-Why oh why is this killing me
could it be that this thing isn't over
Why oh why does this never cease to be
could it be that this love isn't over-

I want you to grieve the way I grieve tonight.
I've drained out my face too tired of being right.
This is the way its still weeping such lover in this dream,
this is your choice, it will choke your paradise,
if you keep deceiving, if you keep on crushing me!
If you keep believing, then i'll be feeding off you,
till these eyes are full, king psychotic ohhhhhhhhh
So now I can stealthy barely black gut size,

Sometimes all the moments
That we savoured for the last
Get crushed between the good and bad
From pressures we have had

But you know I can't conceive the day
When feelings run too high
To work out all the stale terrain

Stacey's got a brand new girl
She likes to play with sugar
‘til it makes sweet pearls
She likes to taste the danger
Makes her feel complete
You like to be the resonance
between her feet
But she don't wanna listen anymore

milk is my sugar
sweet grovelling
thy shall convert me
my favourite sin
meat makes it snappy
snap back and thigh
good work for pellow
i'm so alive

The cheaper the face I love it
Warm but beautiful
And wherever he likes to go
The dirtiest girls will show

The sweeter the ways I love him
Rough and beautiful
'Cos wherever he likes to go

Lost infidelity, we never said a word
so black and white you see
it's all the lies we've heard
In my mind nothing makes sense
I'm nothing you can't have
cracked up to disagree, that's all we've ever had
you, only you, only you
only you can't be the one (x2)

well, it feels like summer
well, it feels like home
though the days burn hotter
your heart grows cold

as summer kills the sun
we're halfway gone...
and now...

You pretend the spell has broken
Goods were spoilt from the start
No complaints, I release my claim on your heart

Now I can forget you
'cause I'm over the love
Karma can protect you
'cause I'm over the fun

I saw a weird boy
he looked at me with a look of pure hate
nobody knew all the grief
where he'd been
he was a sad case
he was a victim of a dirty good time
feely games in the back of
his boarded up estate

He took your breath away
But will you feel the same tomorrow
When you're down on the ropes

He takes the edge away
Same old routine
You fail and follow
You shattered your hopes

I'm a street walking cheetah with a heart full of napalm
I'm a runaway son of a nuclear a-bomb
I am the world's forgotten boy
The one who searches and destroys

Honey please help me out
Somebody gotta save my soul
Baby please plea for me

Survived, tonight, I may be going down,
'cos everything goes round too, tight, tonight,
& it, you watch him crawl, you stand for more.
& your panic stricken, blood will thicken up, tonight
'Cos I don't want you, to forgive me,
You'll follow me down, you'll follow me down,
You'll follow me down

I've been biding my time, been so subtly kind,
I've got to think so selfishly, 'cos you're the face inside of me.
I've been biding my days, you see evidently it pays,
I've been a friend, with unbiased views, then secretly lust after you
So now you feel lusty and you're bored and bemused
You wanna do someone else, so you should be by yourself,
Instead of here with me, secretly
Trying hard to think pure,

You kill me with your smelly fingers
Your smelly fingers from the sex you had on Christmas Day
And now you say you're feeling guilty
You're feeling guilty 'cos your god was shining on your face
You go to church and light a candle
And then you're blinded by the light from the golden pews
The devil's snapping at your toes now
Because the angels can't be bothered to live to you

Why take everything you see?
You'll have nothing left to squander
If you keep pushing me away
You'll have no one left to love

You throw it all away
Those ties you went and suffered for
you cause disaster

Maybe I should be more discrete
serve you up some sugary sweet
I could be the wildest of childs
that's not a real feat

Blessings come but favors they go
troubled by the whispers they know
I could sink but I'm not the type

Sometimes what you say
Confuses what you mean
A mouth of strangled words
Come spinning out your mouth
Nothing's like the dream
Forget the words I say
Just let them hit the ground

You have seen me lie,
you have seen me crucify respect,
seen redundant eyes,
seen the tension stagger to the mike

Made the bed too high,
have to slad on matey floors of sin,
slap the face too sane,

"The Sweetest Thing"

You have the floor but once upon a time you had more
You shake, you shout, but somewhere you got smothered in doubt...come on
Don't burst them seams there's nothing wrong with living the dream
'cos you just have to know...
THE SWEETEST THING IS YOU BABY,
THE SWEETEST THING THAT I CAN BREATHE...IT'S YOU BABY

And when I feel like i'm the victim
I will come running home to you
And I will weep like I will change
When I come running home to you

I make you believe that i'm a changed girl
That I'm honest good and pure
Then I'll drag you through my shit again

I CRIED ON MY BLOOD DAY
THERE WAS NOTHING THAT I COULD HOLD ON TO
JUST A LINE COULD HAVE HELPED
REMIND ME OF YOU, OF YOU

I SCREAMED TILL THE BLOOD CAME
I WAS LIVING IN A CLOUD OF HOPE
LOVER`S KISS,

Succulent white
Secrete revenge
God gives right

For you and your laws
You kill and dine
In cold sublime

Lost in time I can`t count the words
(I) said when I thought they went unheard
All of those harsh thoughts so unkind
`Cause I wanted you

(And) now I sit here I`m all alone
So here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
A circle of angels, deep in war

Lost in time I can't count the words
(I) said when I thought they went unheard
all of those harsh thoughts so unkind
'cos I wanted you

(and) now I sit here I'm all alone
so here sits a bloody mess, tears fly home
a circle of angels, deep in war

SO THE PIERCE SCREWED UP YOUR FACE
`COS YOUR GIRLIE LIKED THE TASTE
YOU`RE INFECTED BY THE
TEASE
POLITICAL

SO YOUR SEXY GUILTY BRAIDS
MADE YOUR BODY SMELL OF MACE

I've been looking through my mirror
with somebody elses eyes
you broke me down
you fixed my blood staind pride
I've running through my window
at somebody elses world
you let me fall
right through your open door

Survived tonight
I may be going down
'Cos everything goes round too
Tight, tonight
And as you watch me crawl
You stand for more

And your panic stricken

Survived tonight

I may be going down

cos everything goes round too

Tight, tonight

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now
Or are those special moods
For someone else
I hope you're feeling happy now
