Ten little girls

You think of no one but yourself
you see the rest of us as fools
you think of no-one but yourself
you see the rest of us as fools
he said
don't feel guilty,
don't go crazy,
don't get paranoid with me

You play the prophet like a man
Makes no sense in the overall
master plan
she said
don't feel guilty,
don't go crazy,
don't get paranoid with me

You can't push your luck around
you can't push your luck around
don't go crazy

Don't feel feel feel
don't get get get

(You can't push your luck around)
(You can't push your luck around)

Ten little girls come out to play
they don't stand a chance
they got blown away
say it isn't so
ten little boys come out to play
they don't stand a chance
they got blown away
say it isn't so
nine little girls got blown away
no, no, no, no
they didn't even have
their own place to stay
say it isn't so
nine little boys got blown away
no, no, no, no
they didn't even have
their own place to stay
the arrogance of youth

I Speak Your Every Word

I spoke to you
just the other day
I hear your voice
from far away
I can smell deception
in your every word
maybe I'm dreaming
and my vision is blurred
there's something inside you
I see pictures of children
I speak your every word

Ahh oh ahh oh

You, are my saviour
you've come to fix me good
there's something about you
that makes me feel angry
and misunderstood

Ahh oh ahh oh

There's something inside you
there's something about you
I speak your every word

Ahh oh ahh oh ahh oh ahh oh ahh oh

Blindfold

You better believe it ahh ahh
You better believe it ahh ahh
You better believe it ahh ahh
You better believe it ahh ahh

In a conversation
talking of nothing
we were drinking sweet wine
comforting our one and only
in our single business
We have become jealous
satisfied with our desolation
wrapped in our vivid dreams
I remember the two days
that mean alot to me
I remember the two days
where every hour was a day
every minute was a lifetime
where the ocean was a sea
and you dragged me into the mountains
on a flimsy guarantee
the stronger the man
the stronger the woman
if it ended now
would you be willing
I've given you everything
I've given you nothing
I used to think of angels
but that's all gone
I used to dream of love and kisses
wanting to belong
but I'd tear around the corners
blindfolded to the world
I used to think that candyfloss
was only made for girls
see how it feels for me
do you believe in me?

Hard-headed sense of failure
in a narrow mind
I never used to think about
the hurt I left behind
but now it falls upon me
like winter snow
now I turn the same corners
when there's no place left to go
the stronger the man
the stronger the woman
if it ended now
would you be willing
do you believe in me?
this is my own private hour
see how it feels for me this is my own private hour
could you love me? could you love me? could you love me? could you love me?

No Escape From Heaven

I can see through your eyes
to the back of your mind
all you've said is fiction
the blind leading the blind
I'd like to take your clothes off
and play for a while
you'll hold my hand in summertime
we'll walk for miles
and you'd be mine
hold my hand in summertime
you are mine

There's no escape from heaven
try as you might
there's no escape from heaven

Lie on the floor
don't open your eyes
just listen to the sweetness
of this lullaby
break my heart in anger
hit me in love
push me into danger
give me that shove
hold my hand in summertime
we'll walk for miles
and you'd be mine
hold my hand in summertime
you are mine

There's no escape from heaven
try as you might
there's no escape from heaven
there's no escape from heaven
try as you might
there's no escape from heaven

Hold my hand in summertime

Hold me, hold me
hold me like you used to
hold me, hold me
hold me like you used to

Coast Is Clear

Above my bed
in this ugly room
hangs the whisper
of the sandman

You can be my father
for the love he has shown
it's just a little to late
it's never enough to swallow those pills
now I'm sick
and always will be

Take it
I don't want it
you can have
what you like
just don't try to trick me to sleep
then turn out those lights

You can be my father
for the love he has shown
it's just a little to late
it's never enough to swallow those pills
now I'm sick
and always will be

Ah ah ah ah
drains and radiators
you can be my father
drains and radiators
for the love

You can be my father
for the love he has shown
it's just a little to late
it's never enough to swallow those pills
now I'm sick
and always will be

Ah ah ah ah
just when you thought it was alright
just when you thought it was alright

The Colour Hurts

It was the beginning The final curtain descends The doorway to dating has revealed its potence The colour hurts in this last birth of sins, why do you grow inside me? It smells of dew as it spirals to victory, it says why do you grow inside me? Leave me alone I was doing okay before But now you're here, hold my hand Now you've won I understand The colour hurts in this last birth of sins, why do you grow inside me? It smells of dew as it spirals to victory, it says why do you grow inside me? Leave me alone... (It's a younger world for the complex is an eternity) The colour hurts in this last birth of sins, why do you grow inside me? It smells of dew as it spirals to victory, it says why do you grow inside me? Send me some rebirth It's a destiny of sorts Smell of the earth

Frozen

In my eyes
you smile like an angel
blessed with love
invest in life
but in my heart
you sound like a traitor
blessed with sin
invest in life

In my heart and in my soul
everywhere I go
you are with me
I can feel you everywhere
a certain something in the air
you are with me..

In your way 
you cry like a baby
blessed with shame
invest in life
in the garden
I will grow
a hanging tree
for all to know
you are with me
invest in life

In my heart and in my soul
everywhere I go
you are with me
I can feel you everywhere
a certain something in the air
you are with me..

In my heart
in my soul
everywhere I go
you are with me

Zoo

She's had a psychotic dream
for the last ten days
she feels as if she's sinking
in and out, in and out, in and out of phase
she comes up for air
she think she's a queen
starts telling all the choirboys 
where she's been
she dresses in black
only for the occasion
she thinks she's a negro
but she's only caucasian

she can't tune in
she can't tune in
she can't get off that bus
she can't get off that bus
she can't grab hold
she can't grab hold
she's a mess this girl
and it's time you were told

It's like watching my own dream
this is not what it seems
so calculated
now that's infiltrated
in the harshness of daylight
I'm frightened by sunlight
but I know those night-eyes
will keep me from harm

she can't tune in
she can't tune in
she can't get off that bus
she can't get off that bus
she can't grab hold
she can't grab hold
she's a mess this girl
and it's time you were told

Mamama mamama
keep on keeping me from harm
keep on keeping me from harm
keep on keeping me from harm
keep on keeping me from harm

Clipped

On the days we get together
we talk in volumes
and drink some coffee
cook the numbers
clear our minds
forget our worries
there untrue and unkind

There's no truth it's instinct
there's no lies that's gone too
there's no truth it's instict
there's no lies that's gone too

All he says causes scandal
I've heard it said
that he's the original verbal vandal
who steals your words
clears out your mind

There's no way you'll convert me
There's no way that's for sure
There's no way I'll get sucked in
There's no way that's damn sure
There's no way you'll convert me
There's no way that's for sure

Hopelessly reaching

There's no truth
there's no lies
there's no way you'll convert me
there's no way that's for sure

There's no way you'll convert me
there's no way that's for sure
there's no truth
there's no lies

Die Like a Dog

Curled up
in a ball
curled up
when I fall 
I will play ball

Out here
in the hall
I have seen
it all
out there
when you call 
I won't play ball

Peace in a world
free from religion
peace in a world
where everyone gets heaven
peace in a world
free from religion
peace in a world

I like to see
the satelites around me
I like to see
the satelites around me

Peace in a world
free from religion
peace in a world
where everyone gets heaven
peace in a world
free from religion
peace in a world

I'm just trying
not to die like a dog
end up alone
wheezing from the smog
I'm just trying
not to die in vain
gonna make my mark
stake my claim

Peace in a world
free from religion
peace in a world
where everyone gets heaven
peace in a world
free from religion
peace in a world

I listen to my eyes click
there colourful confession
while the language of agression
is on everybody's lips

Galaxy

He's got
sugar on his lips
and he knows
that the sickness
is his
and he shows it
he just shows it
he'll give you the remedy
without the chemical
show you the picture
without the scenery
all he wants is
a blow by blow by blow account
always searching for the real thing
scratching the surface
getting nowhere
my place has been stolen
invaded by sharks
covered in gutter
as shiny as glass

The pavement is soft and sweet
the galaxy is so elite
it won't say no
it won't say yes
it won't say no
it won't say yes

Crush me with your ice pick
I am the queen
I've come to take the sweetness
and keep you down in my cave

The pavement is soft and sweet
the galaxy is so elite
it won't say no
it won't say yes
it won't say no
it won't say yes

Everybody knows
I see it in your eyes

Cherry

Respire my desire
lean on me
fall on me
respond
and it will be
answered
answered
cos I am waiting
for the stars to change
so we will talk again
I'm impatient
for the sun to change
so we can meet again

He was well spoken
and unconnected
caught his tongue
it became infected
he could breathe
venom into the heart
of an issue
he could stare right at you
and never see you
he could crush faith
he could crush minds
he's a cynic
and he love's it
he believe in it
it's more than a man
could ever want

In his own image
in his being
like this leather glove
could be
could be
could be

I am waiting
for the sun to go down
I'm impatient
for the stars to change
