Negative Eruptions
02:33
|
|||
I can use any name that I want to
I can drink anything and its fun to
I've got hell of a mess left to undo
All the hypocrites have already spoken
I've no idea what they've been smoking
But its a blazing fire that they're stoking
CHORUS
Look at the camera and say cheese
All the negative eruptions
Dribble sap and then hide in the trees
All the negative eruptions
And the negatives rub off on me
All the fake praise and fake sympathy
Hold your head up high and freeze
All the negative eruptions
So the horse has already bolted
I've a book of my faults that I've noted
Its a nugget of shit that's been coated
I can use any name that I want to
I've got hell of a mess left to undo
I can drink if I want to
CHORUS

I jot essentials down - I couldn't miss it
I think you want me ungowned - your text's implicit
I may have simplified and truly pissed it
Do not forget I can be totally explicit
CHORUS
I Will love you 'till I'm famous
And I will love you 'till your beauty fades
Cuz love forever is just dangerous
Its bitter and contagious
Are you listening now? I hear a dialling tone
I've wasted many hours fondling a spurned bone
Try again tomorrow and my number will be unknown
I really cant be bothered to even class you friend-zoned
CHORUS
Touch me here, touch me there, I felt a tingle
But don't touch for too long I very rarely mingle
I like the accent but don't understand the lingo
Lets just get on with it, I'm happy staying single
CHORUS

Death by Hickey
04:48
|
|||
Calm yourself down my lover I'm changing
Its degrading
I know I planned it
I turned the corner or am I imagining?
You're badgering
I'm growing and knowing
CHORUS
If there's nothing going down and there's nothing to it
You're forever going down - I've a bruise to show it
In your velvet dressing gown there's a chance to prove it
I'm forever picky
I choose death by hickey
Pass the balaclava - I'm covering
Recovering
I don't know who saw it
Well hello fair maid it is hurting
I'm flirting
Did you guess all the rest?
CHORUS
Turn the camera off I'm behaving
Face saving
And no-one should see that
My cup of tea has gone cold and I'm cursing
Rehearsing
My complaint. Much restraint
CHORUS

Nothing much matters
My life is in tatters
Shit splatters on all of the back chatters
Luck is down, people frown
I'm talked about from town to town
For things to be easy
I could try see what they see
But I'm lazy, I'll just defrock and charge free
Hold your breath, take what's left
Then take a guess at what comes next
CHORUS
I want to run into the sea naked for effect and for fun
I want to run into the sea to forget troubles and be gone
It's cold but I'm smiling
Should have done this a while ago
I told you so - I always knew my mind would go
Its just a whim when things get grim
I only wish I'd learnt to swim
CHORUS

Better Days
04:10
|
|||
Could you forget a mistake or two?
Are they compliments to you?
I've never felt so bad so many times
I wish we could project our thoughts by minds
CHORUS
There were better days
Were you afraid of me?
Afraid of the way I turned to stone
Were you aware of it?
Aware of how I danced so merrily
Were you much stronger then?
Because now it seems you try to hide away
Were you afraid of me?
Well forgive me I'm a clown
Those journeys seems so long ago
And now far too many people know
The daily game will be played again
I know that I'd be happy if we spoke as friends
CHORUS

Castle of Promises
03:05
|
|||
Half of what I say is fantasy
Nay more than half - look at my graph
Analyse the line - we are doing just fine
Of course I'm not lying
CHORUS
I abuse my powers
From my lofty towers
In the castle of promises
We talk out of our orifices
And we talk for hours and hours
The picture you shot and the revelations you got
They are not me, most probably
Look over there! Oh my what a pair!
The outlook is fair
CHORUS

Nic, Nicky, Nicola
01:59

Nic, Nicky, Nicola
By which name are you known-a
You cannot fault my hunger
If I was a few years younger.....
I'd write a poem, call out your name
The first one that entered my brain
The wrong tag could offend ya
And most probably I would
With a name like Jan you've two shots
And Janice isn't used much
Sally would be perfect
'Cause the whole name would stay intact
But its fair to say that it is true
You could just use the first syllable
So perhaps my little quandary
Is not so unique to me
Nic, Nicky, Nicola
I'd like to invite you over
But how can I approach you
Without knowing which name to use
It would make no soap, no serial
The whole thing may sound trivial
But I doubt you adopt the moniker
I heard used by your mother
