This Is Mine

All of this is mine
All of this is mine
Want it like a crime
All of this is mine

The beat
Of a bird
Too fast
For my heart

All of this

All of this is mine
All of this is mine (this is mine)
Want it like a crime (this is mine)
Give these lips of mine (this is mine)

The beat
Of a bird
Too fast
For my heart
Too fast
For my heart

This is mine

There Will Never Be a Better Time

There will never be a better time
There will never be a greater time
Oh

If I could change, change everything
If I could change my name, learn to forgive
There's never been a better time (oh i know)
There will never be a greater time

When i look for god I lose my way
When I look for you I lose my place
Kissing anything that comes my way
Burning anything that will burn

I wanna change, change everything
Gonna change my name, learn to forgive
Love passes me by in all the wrong places
Love passes me by, I'll lose my way
I wanna catch them all

There will never be a greater time
There will never be a better time

There will never be a better time
There will never be a greater time

The Mystery Of Love

When you're not by my side
The world's in two, and I'm a fool

When you're not in my sight
Then everything, just fades from view

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Tell me, have you changed your mind?
Am I a fool, because of you?

Tell me, do we still have time?
To make this wrong somehow be right

The mystery of love belongs to you
The mystery of love belongs to you

Show me sweetness, show me summer skies
Show me how to make this wrong seem right
Show me laughter in your pale blue eyes
Tell me, tell me have you changed your mind?

So You Got a Horse

So you got a horse
Did it come in a box
Almost got my heel caught in the stirrups
Woah feeling giddy..er..giddy..er..clip clop
Mmmm I like the feel of these reins
Kind of power steering
Take her out a while
There's a bit of play

Four feet and something
Feels like nothing
Careful with that mouth of yours boy
I don't want she should bolt

So you got a horse
So what you gonna do with it
Aw she's madonna
All cloven hoof and flared nose
You whp her ass and you watch her go
Hey hey grandad, hey let it go
I'm feeling sick, I'm letting go

Four feet and something
Feels like nothing
Careful with that mouth of yours boy
I don't want she should bolt

Slow-Motion-Movie-Star

In slow motion
Make love to me
Fall in slow motion
So easily

I'd do anything
To see you again
I'd do anything

I want to protect you
Want to poccess
All in slow motion
I wished we'd kissed

I'd do anything
To see you again
I'd do anything

How will,
As we fall in love,
You put on your make up?
Slow motion movie
Slow motion movie
Look nothing like Mary
Another virginal mother

Have we taken it too far?

I'd do anything
To see you again
I'd do anything

Shot Of Love

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love
Don't need a shot of heroin to kill my disease
Don't need a shot of turpentine, to bring me to my knees
Don't need a shot of codeine to help me to repent
Don't need a shot of whiskey, help me to be president

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Doctor, can you hear me? I need some Medicaid
I seen the kingdoms of the world and it's making me feel afraid
What I got ain't painful, it's just bound to kill me dead
Like the men that followed Jesus, they put a price upon His head

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

I don't need no alibi when I'm spending time with you
I've heard all of them rumors and you have heard em too
Don't show me no picture show or give me no book to read
It don't satisfy the hurt inside nor the habit that it feeds

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Why would I want to take your life?
You've only murdered my father, raped his wife
Tattooed my babies with a poison pen
Mocked my God, humiliated my friends

I don't wanna be with nobody tonight, Veronica ain't nowhere, Mavis just ain't right
There's a man that hates me, he's swift, smooth and near
Am I supposed to set back and wait until he's here?

I need a shot of love
I need a shot of love

Shake Your Hips (Hip Shake)

I wanna tell you ’bout a dance
That’s goin’ around
Everybody’s movin'
From the grownups down
Don’t move your head
Don’t move your hands
Don’t move your lips
Just shake your hips

Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hips, babe
Shake your hips, babe

What you don’t know
Don’t be afraid
Just listen to me
Do what I say
Don’t move your head
Don’t move your hands
Don’t move your lips
Just shake your hips

Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hips, babe
Shake your hips, babe
Now ain’t that easy

I met a little girl
In a country town
She said what do you know
There’s slim harpo!
Didn’t move her head
Didn’t move her hands
Didn’t move her lips
Just shook her hips

Do the hip shake, babe
Do the hip shake, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Shake your hip, babe
Now ain’t that easy

River Of Diamonds

As I wander madly long this sun-cracked river bed
A hundred carrion crows are circling
High above my head
They cast an evil shadow as they wheel and cry above
Me, I'm just walking down the river
Searching for

Hey
Where is the place where I belong
Carry on carry on carry on
Back to the place where you belong

The clouds hand deep and heavy
As I see the house below
A wind both kind and fragrant melts the last
Remnants of snow
I'm crazy and you know it as I walk this final mile
Me, I'm just walking down the river
Searching for

Hey
Where is the place where I belong
Carry on carry on carry on
Back to the place where you belong

A cat slinks out beneath me as I take a step inside
The dust lies thick and heavy on the things
I owned with pride
The memory of your face still lingers
And your spirit too
Me, I'm just walking down the river
Searching for

Hey
Where is the place where I belong
Carry on carry on carry on
Back to the place where you belong

Right To Fly

Bowling along the street like an empty carton
Mouthing words to music no-one else can hear
Rolling in the gutter like a stolen hubcab
The force field means no-one will come near

I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got a right to fly

Try and engage some conversation
But people's teeth grind and hackles rise
And then they get that glazed look in their eyes
They press a tarnished coin into my greasy mitt
My clothes catch the rain, the sun, the sweat

I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got a right to fly

One last soldier behind a shield of offense
People attacking with curled lips and glances
Mind grows propellers and pilots
And retro-rockets taking off to where the alley wind dances

I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got a right to fly

You're wrong
You're so wrong

Rest Sextet

I'd kill you
Or you'd kill me
I could wreck that head of yours

Move it from side to side
Then we'll see
You can't take that away from me

Try to be strong
Try to be kind
Try to pretend
But I can't live a lie
And nor he
Oh he could have been a friend to me
No matter what you think or do
It always comes back to you

Here I am
Round again
Is this the end?
Now you won't ever find me

Putty

Silly putty
What he was in this sculptress' hands
Will gone bendy
Done swaying in a rubber band
And his feet gone first
Then a desert thirst in his throat
Lips gonna burst

Cap of a bottle
Rolled down to the edge of the bin
She noticed the beer wasn't cooling him
And his feet gone first
Then a desert thirst in his throat
Lips gonna burst
The tip of her knife
Cut a nick in his vein
She said "Model today?
(you're all the same)"

Silly putty
What he was in this sculptress' hands
She cut a tension line
She had him standing
And his feet gone first
Then a desert thirst in his throat
Lips gonna burst
The tip of her knife
Cut a nick in his vein
She said "Hey hey you're all the same"

Primed and Ticking

I believe I fell from above
Primed and ticking for your love
I believe I could rub you right
Hang and dollar you day and night
I believe I could stretch your hopes
Widely as his mercy flows
Come on baby, give me your time
I've seen it in the stars, you're mine
I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I'm so young and I'm so strong
Get my blood up when I'm gone
Nothing, baby, is too big for me
Take it from his company
I could take you to heaven's highs
Trust me baby, I'll rub you right
I don't eat, I don't need to sleep
Fire and desire's good enough for me
I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I think I'm ticking
I think I'm ticking
I'm primed and ticking
I think I'm ticking

I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I believe my days will end with you

You look at me like I shot your dog
Venus, me, I'm the god of love
Don't you turn your back, beauty queen
Remember how I wiped you clean
I could stretch your wildest hopes
As widely as his mercy flows
You gorgeous stack of pancakes, you
You're going nowhere till I'm through
I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I believe my lonesome days are through
It's you

I think I'm ticking
I think I'm ticking
I'm primed and ticking
I think I'm ticking

I believe my days will end with you

Powdered Wig Machine

Won't you take this dance, this dance with me?
Oh wont you take my hand, my hand and lead?

Come on, come to me

Take off your mask, your mask, kiss me

Come on, come with me

Dance on, dance on my heart said your feet

Come on, come to me

Come on

You charm the joy the right out of me
Seduce my mind, make my heart sing

Piano Fire

I got sunburnt waiting for the jets to land
Circus people with hairy little hands
Come on boys strike up the army band
I got sunburnt waiting for the jets

How do you feel?
How do you feel?
I can't seem to see through solid marble eyes

Fiery pianos wash up on a foggy coast
Squeaky old organs have given up the ghost
Fire them up and kill the pianos
There's creaky old organs burning on the coast

How do you feel?
How do you feel?
I can't seem to breath with a rusted metal heart
I can't seem to see through solid marble eyes
