Johnny hit and run Pauline


Shooting sterilis hypo
Sex machine drug
24 hours
Shoot Pauline between the legs
96 tears to 24 hours
Sex once an hour

Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline

L.A. bust, doors open
Kicking both doors open
Arrested on 6th street
That's when it (brought) drove our girl inside
She was spreading her legs and didn't mind dying
He was still awake

Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline

He was waking up beside the bed
Found clumps of hair
At least Pauline wouldn't co-operate
She was not what you'd call living
He was still awake

Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline

Janet, Johnny & James




What if the world crashed in
Unfolding behind your eyelids
Crash your mind
Cracked your mind

Janet and Johnny and James
Crash your mind
Behind your eyelids

The people behind you
With nepotism
Explodes

All that rubbish
That you create
In the lock
Suddenly cranking
Nepotism

Janet and Johnny and James
Janet and Johnny and James

Dearest Lord, hear me now
Janet and Johnny
Coming over the mountain
From New Guinea
They see a star
They see a future
From you, our creator
They see the future
That would never happen

In the factory


It's hard to believe
In the factory
How they made you
And they made me
Made of ideas
Made to think and feel
Do you feel too much?
Do you feel too real?

You're so full of life
What do you want with mine?
How I loved you once
How I loved you twice
Did I have to pay
Such a heavy price
How I loved you more
Than my own life

Just to be
You and me
Almost real
Almost free

It's hard to believe
In the factory
How we satin feels
And the diamonds gleam
How they made our eyes
Made our hearts and minds
How they built us to
Leave it all behind

Just to be
You and me
Almost real
Almost free

Into deep neutral


When you're off-kilter and the World it makes no sense
When you spy intruders at your first line of defence

Switch into deep neutral
Drop everything you know
Switch into deep neutral
And everything goes

When everyone's so uptight their laces are undone
Keep taking the tablets, keep the darkness on the run

If you switch into deep neutral
Your consumer choice is made
Switch into deep neutral
And the competition fades

In a deep neutral state there's no race to be won
There's nothing to do cause there's nothing to be done

Switch into deep neutral
Say "That's the way it goes"
Switch into deep neutral
And everything flows

When I make a small commitment, that's when I get the fear
I up the dose of neutral, it's the only legal gear
The cost of living's so dear

Switch into deep neutral
Drop everything you know
Switch into deep neutral
And anything goes

Talking to my best friend, she said that she was going to die
I said "Living is for losers, so there's no need to cry"

Switch into deep neutral
As you hit the endless night
Slide along the tunnel
To the distant wheel of light

In a silent violent way


So your hearts gone round the bend
How many roads have I crossed again
With a friendly grin all over my face
It's a favourite old trick of mine
I knew you'd let me down in a silent violent way
My eyes, they're in the back of my head
How I'd love to look straight ahead
Not over my shoulder

It's an old favourite trick of mine
I knew you'd lket me down in a silent violent way
The tap drps on the verdigris
With every drop it seems to me
I've been here before

Hitting the ground



I was beaten up, I was beaten down
By my life and a photographic sound
I was filled with love, I was filled with rage
My life book shook with the turning of it's page

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

I was not on drugs, I was not on beer
I was still with love, I was full of fear
If I asked the question, life will tell no lie
Love will ask the question are you willing to die

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

I'm gonna go way up in an aeroplane
I'm gonna go way out insane
I don't know if I'd ever come down
I don't know if I can reach the ground

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

I'm gonna go way up in an aeroplane
I'm gonna go way out insane
I don't know if I'd ever come down
I don't know if I can reach the ground

I was beaten up, I was beaten down
By my life and a photographic sound
I was filled with love, I was filled with rage
My life book shook with the turning of it's page

Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no friend round, never be found
Hitting the ground, hitting the ground
And there ain't no-one there to help you come down

Hit the city


The dark descends through the promised land
Down kingdom come and the acid band
I'm babylon, burn inside out
Nothing to kill it

I hit the city

In Marianne I dug the hole
And watched her trip on my hollow soul
And in the end all that crawled, was my skin
I couldn't kill it

I hit the city
I hit the city

Ghost arrives at its bitter end
To the promised land and the dark descents
I'm babylon, burn inside out
Nothing to kill it

I hit the city

Henry Lee


Get down, get down, little Henry Lee
And stay all night with me
You won't find a girl in this damn world
That will compare with me
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

I can't get down and I won't get down
And spend all night with thee
For the girl I have in that merry green land
I love far better than thee
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Come take him by his lilly-white hands
Come take him by his feet
And throw him down this deep deep well
Which is more than one hundred feet
And the wind did howl and the wind did blow
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Lie there, lie there, little Henry Lee
Till the flesh drops from your bones
For the girl you have in that merry green land
Can wait forever for you to come home
And the wind did howl and the wind did moan
La la la la la
La la la la lee
A little bird lit down on Henry Lee

Green eyes


He called me Magdolene
So much my eyes have seen
Cleopatra would have wept for these of green
I watch the people leave
I Walk the sorry town
When I saw him first
He was looking down

He called me Magdalene
My say Queen
But he would not look
Into these eyes of green
He lay there alone
No-one else around
When I turned to him
He was still looking down

I came
I witnessed
Followed
Found
Returned
Returned
He's still looking down
Still looking down
And the people leave
Leave this girl
Leave this girl
Leave this town
And still he kneels
Does not look at me
He's drawing circles in the ground

Featherhead


When will we ever meet?
Not in this life
When will I be a bird?
Is it this life?

White doves only see
From up high
When will another bird
Kiss my mind

Featherhead all fucked
Up and down days
No, not another night
Another dark place
White doves only see
From up high
When will another bird
Bend my mind

Eyepennies




I will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and strings and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's

I held my hand in the fire
It burned me down to the wires

Blood suckers hide beneath my bed
And black fumes of skin so gently bled
I slept with a cat on my breast
Slowing my heart stealing my breath

At sunrise the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyes

I will return here one day
And dig up my bones from the clay
I buried nails and string and hair
And that old tooth I believe was a bear's

At sunrise the monkeys will fly
And leave me with pennies in my eyes

Death is not the end



When you're sad and you're lonely
And you haven't got a friend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all that you hold sacred
Falls down and does not mend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When you're standing on the crosroads
That you cannot comprehend
Just remember that death is not the end

And all your dreams have vanished
And you don't know what's up the bend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

When the storm clouds gather round you
And heavy rains descend
Just remember that death is not the end

And there is no-one there to comfort you
With a helping hand to lend
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

For the tree of life is growing
Where the spirit never dies
And the bright light of salvation
Up in dark and empty skies
When the cities are on fire
With the burning flesh of men
Just remember that death is not the end

And you search in vain to find
Some law-abiding citizen
Just remember that death is not the end

Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end
Not the end, not the end
Just remember that death is not the end

Crawl home


No more
It's done
Crawl home
Get gone
Your love
Is evil
Lonesome
My bones

Took me such a long time to figure it out
Now isn't too late I cant do without
Took me such a long time to figure it out
Don't take it away, away, away

Snow storm
My heart
Crawl home
Your love
Is evil
I'm lonesome
Just dead lonely
Were you there?

Took me such a long time to figure it out
Now isn't too late I cant do without
Took me such a long time to figure it out
Don't take it away, away, away

Come to me



Come to me
Light on my shoulder
Come to me
Burn your starry crown

My dark angel
I've tried, I can't get over
'Cause when I think I'm climbing
I'm really so far down

Time takes a while, to break ya
And now, only fire can wake ya

Oh weeping willow
Coughing up my heart
Asked God to see my shadow
And kept us apart

Through my mind's every riot, or revelation
You've just now gone
You've just now gone, as I arrive
At every station

Come to me
Either early or late
I've learned this by habit
Now I know how to wait
Come to me
Come to me
Come to me

Colour me grey



Pour yourself into a drink
It's what you think
I don't have anything to say at all
A funny mess, don't you agree
Just you and me
I don't have anything to do at all
Shall we go out tonight
Will that be alright
Shall we search for our fortune and fame
For oil on peaceful waters
Always stings the same

So just stab me in the back
And call me lover
For nothing now can ever be the same
We'll swap stories of past conquests
We'll tell each other lies
And I'll try so hard to shoulder all the blame
Shall we go out tonight
Will that be alright
Shall we search for our fortune and fame
For oil on peaceful waters
Always stings the same

Claudine

Broken Homes



Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
We lose our voice more each year
Maybe we won't bring soon
Is there cancer in the throat?
No stress
Maybe it's supposed to kill the success
Because success needs killing
Murder is media
False laugh, forged autograph
First my body, now my corpse

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Alive is pain, murder is fame
And if you're famous you may get acquitted
If you did it
There's nowhere to run away
Damn you, I hope you pay
And finish the day-to-day
The games we play

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
I must stay at home
And talk on the telephone
Cause nothing in this world I want from you
Don't fool yourself, I won't cry
Too scared to live
Too quick to die

Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes
Those men will break your bones
Don't know how to build stable homes

Bitter little bird


I will change
I will transform
I will turn myself
Into a bitter bird

Bitter life fly
To your garden
Bitter life sit
By the lilac tree

I will change
I will transform
Don't shoot me down
This bitter bird

Bitter life fly
In through your window
And bitter stories why
To your sister tell

Oh this sister tell
What are your sorrows
And ask of us of ours

Before the poison


Before the poison
I wasn't down
If you'd been there
If you'd been around
I couldn't hear
Couldn't hear a sound
I was floating
Above the groud

Before the poison
I'd lost my fear
Maybe too happy
To even care
Safe in my dream
Couldn't see the fall
Coming on, coming from nowhere
My name to call

No more to say
Nothing's coming my way
No you, no me
No more how can it be?
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
This is the end
What's left for you my friend?

Before the poison
I'd laugh out loud
I'd see your face
In any crowd
But speak sofly
Without fear
Hold on, to me
Hold me near
No more to say
Nothing's coming my way
No you, no me
No more how can it be?
Nowhere to run
Out of nowhere, poison
This is the end
What's left for you my friend?

Baby in a plastic bag


There was a man who told us all about his yesterdays
He said that come the come, come revolution praise
And though we talked about him, walked about his yesterdays
No crack could snap the fact, he bore them all the way
What a day

Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Calling out and falling out with everyone
He saw no application for this summering
Although it hurt a lot and burned a lot of offerings
No calling... turned the granary

Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace

Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Well I don't like your face
Well I don't like your taste
Well I don't like this place
And I don't need your embrace

In a white room, in a warm man
Warm bizarre
Come and get me
Come and get me
Hang it on, hang heavy
Come
Oh what an education
Too bad, too bad
Oh what a reputation
Baby in a plastic bag

Airplane blues




My man's a pilot on the Birmingham airplane line
I say my man's a pilot on the Birmingham airplane line
When he comes to see me, my man sure comes a flying
I know that my flying man ain't true to me
I know that my flying man ain't true to me
But he's as true as any man can be
He takes me flying, flying, right up to the sky
He takes me flying, flying, right up to the sky
When I'm riding with my man, lord, he rides me so high

First he turns me over then he starts to loop the loop
First he turns me over then he starts to loop the loop
Takes a long long time till his wings begin to droop
He flies me slow, he flies me fast
And I'm hoping, I'm praying he don't run out of gas
So if he ain't true, there's nothing I'm gonna say
Cause I ain't gonna let a man that good fly away

A girl like me


Hot skin in the night
And the hour when the animals are born
Crimes of passion are committed

Take me to the morning light
Take me to your leader

It took a girl like me
To bring you to your knees
It took a girl like me

You were my heart
You are my only heart
But this cold air is killing me
And as we make love
The silence, the silence
Trying to find a thread of a failed romance

It took a girl like me
To bring you to your knees
You take a girl like me

I strained my face towards the sky
You put your hand over my mouth
Oh take me, take me to the frozen north
Skating, falling, falling down, down, down
Into icy water

I'll be what you want me to be
To bring you to your knees
Your lover, your daughter
We'll move in slow motion
Falling down, down, down
Into icy water
You took a girl like me

I might never leave this room again
Shut myself inside the old photographs
Faded light of a young girl
Patterns, shadows on the walls
Painted ladies
They look a lot like me

It took a girl like me
To bring you to your knees
You took a girl like me

Who will love me now?


In the forest, is a monster
It has done terrible things
So in the wood, it's hiding
And this is the song it sings

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"

(Who will love me now?)

Who will forgive and make me live again?
Who will bring me back to the world again?

In the forest, is a monster
And it looks so very much like me
Will someone hear me singing?
Please save me, please rescue me

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will say to me
"You are my desire, I set you free?"

(Who will love me now?)
(Who will ever love me?)

Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?
Who will love me now?
Who will ever love me?

Who The Fuck? (4 Track Version)


Who the fuck do you think you are
Get out of my hair
who the fuck do you think you are
Comin' round here
who the fuck who the fuck
who the fuck do you think you are

Get your comb out of there
Combing out my hair

I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
I'm not like other girls
You can't straighten my curls
No!

Who the fuck you tryin' to be
Get your dog away from me!
What the fuck you thinking of
Sure ain't nothing to do with love

Who who who who
Fuck fuck fuck you

I'm free, you'll see
I'm me, you'll see

Who who who who

Wait


I thought that if I waited, things might happen
There was no need to move myself, whats happening to me?
I sit around, and sit around, my legs are underneath me
Sit around, and dream around the things I'm going to be

But I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen today, might even happen tomorrow
Everyone is waiting, everyone was sighting
Ways of moving slowly, but nobody is moving

But I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen when you are looking out the window
Might even happen when you are walking down the stairs

All i seem to do is wait
Waiting for buses, waiting for trains
But my bus is always late
All i seem to do is wait
Spend my life anticipating things that will never happen

My god I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

30


Over my body the shadows played
It wasn't night and it wasn't day
Counting something, what have I found?
Thirty diamonds in my hand

Thirty miles, the world unfolds
Thirty miles, a pot of gold
I often think of America

I often dream of shooting a gun
Thirty years, I'm still a child
Looking for something in a smile

Thirty miles, the world unfolds
Thirty miles, a pot of gold
Listen here, in my song
Thirty miles won't be long

Thirty diamonds, birds of fire
Sparkle like the summer sky
Thirty diamonds, thirty miles
Looking for something in your smile

I'm looking for something in your smile
I'm looking for something in your smile

The Phone Song


If I could tell you anything
I would tell you something
If you, if you could miss it

That's the loop
It can be broken
That's the loop
It can be broken

If I could tell you anything
If you, if you could allow it
If you, if you could hear me
That's the change
Changes can happen
That's the loop
It can be broken
That's your heart
It can be open
That's the loop
It can be broken

That's the change
Changes can happen
That's the look
It can be broken
That's your heart
It can be open
That's the loop
It can be broken
