Don' t ski naked down Mt. Everest
With lilies up your nose
Don' t punt up the Ganges in a vest
And holler 'Thar she blows'

Don' t fish for tunny in Meat Madras
With blotting pads as bait
Don' t converse with shrimps of higher class

If you want to be a bad boy with a motorbike (Ask Mr Jones)
If you want to just do them, all the things you like (Ask Mr Jones)
He's rotten, he don't wear cotton
Come on, come on

When you feel like hitting him but you don't know how (Ask Mr Jones)
When you need to just have a hit, and you need it now (Ask Mr Jones)
He's scary, his back's hairy

Swing yourself from tree to tree
Follow me to the den of the tameless
Licking whip, on our blood, we'll slip
Life dyes crimson, our hair

Allhallowtide
Where we will be perfect, inhuman
Allhallowtide

(Alphaville) She slits her senseless skin
(Alphaville In time to Fred Astaire
(Alphaville) I know you're always there

(Don't look now) She's so debonair, she's a manic depressive
(Don't look now) She's a millionaire, and her bills are excessive

(Alphaville) She feels her senses wane

I am true unto my name
I am free from sin and blame
I have no desire for fame
But it's Bid with a B-I-D
Cos B with a Z spells 'bz'

I am pure in heart and mind
I am selfless, good and kind

I am the eye in the mind of a man who has courted fame
Selling the rights to the key of the door to another plane

[Chorus]
Black are the seeds on my hand
Black are the rays of the sun
Black is the rain from the sky
And black are the flowers

So you want to be my girlfriend
Wax my moustache in the morning
I'll curse you over breakfast
Where's my coffee; call this a boiled egg?
It's runny, or hard
Yes, it's hard

I never said it would be fun

Well, I woke up in the mornin' with a Stetson on my head
(Ride, ride 'em down)
Had a saddle for my pillow and a prairie for my bed
(Ride, ride 'em)

I am a cowboy, I ride all night long
And I sleep under the stars above

When he was young, his mother used to say of him
This boy will be a girl, or look as if he should
And sure enough he did
Each night he'd close the door, take off the sweater that he wore
And put on a dress, his mother's best
And sure enough he was

Oh, Christine, tell me where you go ]

I'm looking for a little girl
Who's not so pretty not so plain
She's just the sweetest little girl
I can't remember her name
I'm gonna searching 'till I find
Because I think I'll lose my mind

I'm looking for a little girl

I've preened the feathers on my wings
And I've polished my halo
I've heard my knell on church bells ring
And I feel it's time to go

Jesus, Jesus, give me your answer do ]
I'm half crazy all for the love of you ] (Chorus)

I know a boy, he's got
Mother tattoed on his shoulder
Seen him on TV, but
Then he's very much older
I know his name and I know his address
The number of his extension
I've got a picture of him in a dress
Looking after my pension

Well, I've got that creepy feeling
Nothing peaceful, nothing easy
Oh, it can't be cowboy country
I'm not feeling bright or breezy
Oh, I've got this creepy feeling
And it feels like something's ended
It's all gone quiet in my head
Something's broken, can't be mended

Clinging vines with sharpened thorns will tear your skin
The gate is guarded by a dusky mannequin
Flowers bear their teeth and spit their acid scent at you
Lovers stir their silver hearts into the strangest brew

[Chorus]
In the crystal chamber I can see
The hyperactive painter beckons me

I’m dead and dank and rotten
My arms are wrapped in cotton
My corpse loves you, let’s marry

(Get smart, once)Every night at sleepy time
(Get smart, twice)I hang my skin out on the line
(Get smart, sing) Oh, darling, would you be, be mine

I left my heart in a wooden case
With chains and locks all around its base
I'm on my way to surgery
I'm as happy as a boy can be
Can be

I left my brain in a metal sieve
With cancer injected, just to stop it live

The painter was dismissed today
We paid him off and put him away
He'd drawn us true to life and then
He'd just refused to do it again

For we were not amused at all
To see a painting upon the wall
Which clearly showed what fools were we

Walking to the big screen
Oh, and he looks so good in Technicolor
Kissing him in your dreams
Oh, and, you know, Paul Newman's that much duller
Than him; and you know it's true
It's a sin when he sees you

Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye (Chorus)

Dear Madame Maenad, in answer to your ad
I enclose a cheque for eleven pound, ten
My time of birth is nine twenty-three a.m.

Dear Madame be clear
Will I be rich next year
Please send me my birth chart in the s.a.e.
And I'll allow fourteen days for delivery

Oh, pretty baby, you've been driving me wild
With the face of a woman and the body of a child
I saw your first take and all the out-cuts
You've been driving my middle-aged blood pressure up

Ici les enfants do paradis ]
Ici les enfants do paradis ]
Ici les enfants ] (Chorus)

Oh take my heart and let it beat
To the sound of dancing feet
Then take those feet and let them glide
My baby's sweet, gonna be my bride

I've got a girl, she's got a man
All of God's children, they clap their hands
I've got her heart and she's got mine

I am not here now
Bow down to her, bow at her feet
You must keep still, you are her seat
So young and fresh, so young and sweet
She will have you

[Chorus]
Little noises of contentment and pleasure

The creature from the black lagoon
He sits inside her warm, wet womb
He says, â??Mirror, mirror, tell me truly:
Is my hair dank and unruly?â??

Down and down and down I go
When love goes down the drain
Down and down and down I go

Sterile seraphs in green satin
Swiss liqueurs and cherry brandy
Misty mystics whisper Latin
Mark, meet Jane, meet Sam, meet Sandy

But your Gemini is weary
Your Aquarius not cheery
And my fascinating theory

His schizoid personality
Fragmented at the age of eight
His grandmother brought him to me
For treatment, but it was too late

For he has tasted blood
And his mind- his mind is mud
And it's black, oozing mud

I can see your silhouette, approaching in the rain
Your hair spread like a fishing net, with promises of pain
You can try to cast it on me but a shadow will you gain

My deep, deep shoreline
Is much further than you can see
My deep, deep shoreline
Is where you'll never be

Angie's got a limousine
A sleek young American
Built like a stallion, I hear
Found him in a rock club
Where all the bands go
Just stand around and they drink beer

Angie says it's not like you

On the thirteenth day my true love gave to me (x3, Chorus)

Corrugated horse flesh candy in lime marmalade
Dolphin heads in aspic with a butterfly brocade

(Chorus)

Lyre-birds in a stained glass cage, with lightning rods as plumes

Rest, Unquiet Spirit

Bliss-damp arabesques upon the soft shade of a skin
This lamp, you'd like to turn on, but I know you'd never win
There's a lure that's hanging from the top deck of an ark:
A pure creation that shuns the voices of the dark
And your candle has been lit

Style 1: I cut your face into shreds
In black or white, orange, green or red

I want to be a devil
Style 2: I crush your chest with barrage
In small or medium or extra large

I want to be a devil

Tick, tock, go the death watch beetles in él presidente’s swill
Pop, pop, goes the Cliquot magnum at the reading of the will
Hiss, hiss, goes the snakeskin wallet stuffed with Cruziero bills

Here we come, the jet set junta ]
Here we come, the jet set junta ] (Chorus)

Broom, broom, goes the armoured Cadillac through Montevideo

When he speaks he's never loud
You could lose him in a crowd
Changing color with the clouds

Self-effacing at the start
Oh so well he plays his part
Secret violence in his heart

My old man's a Viscount
And he wears a Viscount's crown
He buys me Cardin trousers
Of a tasteful shade of dark brown

He got his blue at Oxford
And he pays my boating fees
He sends me Fortnum's hampers

Go easy, go easy, go easy
Go easy on your promises
And charity shown to clowns
Chansons d'amour are rising
On the other side of town

Listen to the music fade away ]
Blessed by a broken wand ]

Hey little girl, don't you know you're too shy
When you say hello, they all say goodbye
Hey little girl, don't you ever learn
When you walk in they all seem to turn
When you walk in they seem to turn
They turn their heads away

Hey little girl, don't you know you're too plain
