Being Alone
03:55
|
|||
Negative thoughts from the dull and inept
Delicate flower all windswept
I'll put my foot down as enough is enough
I'm gambling for a little bit of rough
CHORUS1
I'm smiling hard under a face of stone
Can't knock being alone
I'm drowning in the rain of money I've blown
Alone alone alone
I sketched my life on the back of a fag packet
I looked so cool in my leather jacket
Pass the ouzo, let me pass the time
Every single second of which is mine
CHORUS1
CHORUS2
I took a picture on my mobile phone
I quote, I can't knock being alone
Now I'm skipping to my grave stone
Alone alone alone
My hand can't reach to my itchy crutch
I think again I forgot lunch
What do you fancy doing tomorrow dear?
Oh wait I'm the only one here
CHORUS1

Waking up on a glorious, beautiful day
I just wish that this hangover would go away
The clock is ticking and there's still time to play and play and play
Shut the light out and release the alter ego
Well who cares? But definitely nobody knows
I've been told I have incredibly sexual toes in all my shows
CHORUS
Striptease for shits and kicks
Dirty elaborate party tricks
The pornographic movie flix with wine
Clicking the suspicious link
I think I've had too much too drink
Showing off a bit of pink this time
Taking off a layer of clothes with such care
Its amazing what one would do for a dare
I have so much confidence that I can share with flair
Watch the moves, let me truly blow your mind
Its been said that I'm simply one of a kind
But if you watch too long you will find that you go blind
CHORUS

I'm Clairvoyant
01:55
|
|||
I'm clairvoyant knowing where you've been and you're not annoyed
I'm always itchy and I'm under your skin like a haemorrhoid
But I'm overjoyed
CHORUS
However hard I'm trying not to break it
I've had a history of being a half-wit
If I hold on tight I hope you won't split from me
I read your letters and I read your mind. Its audible
I'm digging deep to see what I may find and I'm gullible
But I'm still loveable
CHORUS

Space Age Satisfaction
03:33
|
|||
Stitch up your last few things
Buckle up, block out the noise
Half of what is said is rubbish anyway
But our lives are not null and void
Heading for pastures new
And we're floating up into space
I can't imagine spending it with anyone but you
Lets disappear without trace
CHORUS
Nobody knows the plan of action
Nobody cares much anyway
Searching for space-age satisfaction
Nobody knows who you are
Nobody knows the plan of action
Nobody cares much anyway
I've never experienced such attraction
Nobody knows who you are
Come on take my hand
There's a fantastic voyage ahead
We may just be miniature in the great scheme of things
But what paths to tread
Stitch up your last few things
Buckle up, block out the noise
Pucker those lips and flutter those eyes
As we enter the void
CHORUS

Painting You
02:08
|
|||
It's funny how this fondness grew since I've been painting you
Captured your image beautifully too since I've been painting you
Know every wrinkle and every curve since I've been painting you
I sketched your smile and fell in love since I've been painting you
CHORUS
Well you can say what you want to
Like other folks do
I'm always treated that way
But when you pose for my painting
Like other folks do
I want to whisk you away
Your eyes so perfect, your body so proud - I like painting you
I want to proclaim my love out aloud when I'm painting you
When dressed Victorian, modern or nude - I like painting you
It's funny how this fondness grew since I've been painting you
CHORUS

6. |
||||
That smells good! Oh no its another potion
Designed to bring my brave world down
Start a riot or some civil commotion
Turn me into a sad clown
You'll have to try harder to get improved traction
I'm the most handsome prince around
I know what you did and you'll never live that down
CHORUS
Watch out! The witch is about
And I've something in my eye
Watch out! The witch is about
And hovering in the sky
Watch out! The witch is about
And the witching hour just gets longer
Watch out! The witch is about
And I'm not getting any younger
Black of heart, there's a rotting inside you
That's spurting from the depths of hell
I'm thick skinned, whilst you're transparent. You're see-through
You do not understand me well
Shove your broom up your arse, I'll wipe the floor with you
I'm bitter, I guess you can tell
I know what you did and you'll never live that down
CHORUS
Casting spells
Like you know very well
Will just swell my hunger
CHORUS

Faults In Me
02:49
|
|||
No point fighting about it
No point arguing the faults in me
If we just talked about it
We'd get on better I believe
CHORUS
Somewhere in this smallest hole I like to call my brain
There's a trigger that is switched that starts our love to strain
Crazy kooky smallest hole so dark no-one can see
There's a trigger that is switched that starts the hate in me
Self-contained and harmless
I package myself as such
But I can be so heartless
At the slightest touch
CHORUS
|
||||
8. |
||||
We need something to cheer for before we give up on the year
Give us something to strive for every little helps
I'm not one to seem morbid but a little bit of me gives up the ghost
Tell myself that that's stupid as you did
Turn on the music and get it on
CHORUS
Cynical dancers are dancing in the rain
Cynical dancers showing nothing but disdain
Cynical dancers are dancing in the rain
What are the chances we live this year again?
All the months disappearing, I'm cheering and long for better times
But I'm conscious that is selfish as I hear the death chimes
I trade today, you trade tomorrow. There's sorrow every which way you turn
There's this beauty that I follow, I hollow out
"Turn on the music and get it on"
CHORUS
Is it wrong to start lusting? I'm trusting there's nothing else to do
Out the window its raining - every day the same
I'm conscious everyone's learning to turn in some quality of life
Over here I'm still smiling, semi pining
Turn on the music and get it on
CHORUS

Calling Out to Sea
03:54
|
|||
Like a very distant star
Sparkling with mystery
I stare, looking from afar
Wondering where the future leads
And every night the starlight seems brighter
Twinkling dreams across the ripples on the water
CHORUS
I think of all the things I want
And wonder how those things would be
And I feel such a lonely voice
Calling out to sea
Let me sail upon your waves
Embrace the calm in me
Take me to the better days
I drown in joy beneath the deep blue sea
And every night the starlight seems stronger
Twinkling dreams across the ripples on the water
CHORUS

Filthy Mouth
04:06
|
|||
I've led an innocent life with an excitement drought
But then everything changed from your very first pout
Each time you open your lips I'm craving what will come out
You've got a filthy mouth and I like it!
You can talk like a royal and then you talk like a slut
I'm burning up with desire when you retort all your smut
I've heard so many words to describe your butt
You've got a filthy mouth and I like it!
Just a single word and I am down on my knees
There's so many things that I could do to please
But the excitements too much and my hearts starting to seize
You've got a filthy mouth and I like it!
How did you learn to swear in so many languages?
Be still my swelling appendages
You've made me work so hard my wrists in bandages
You've got a filthy mouth and I like it!
I imagine your legs and I imagine your breasts
And those words that you whispered that caused such a mess
All of this drooling I'm sure its leading to a cardiac arrest
You've got a filthy mouth and I like it!
Oooh lala

Insecure
01:24
|
|||
Renownedly insecure
Don't feel that way no more
With you girl at my side
Solidly stable now
Life is no longer hell
Now you are at my side
CHORUS
Cuz I need someone to love me
I need someone to care
I've always dreamed of this
A half-baked faulty wish
That you are at my side
I cannot cope alone
As I've already shown
But you are at my side
CHORUS

Wet T-Shirt Competition
03:55
|
|||
Your whole life - a social media horror show
I've seen things that I ready don't want to know
In your face! Like a wet t-shirt competition
Trying to resist but I can't help from looking
CHORUS
And I'm staying quiet
Over you
Take a pic and post it with preamble
You don't look good from any type of angle
All fake smiles but secret poison pen letters
Shut your mouth and respect your betters
CHORUS
Shrug my shoulders - I assure that I don't care
The type of thing that I wouldn't take anywhere
Its all on show like a wet t-shirt competition
Trying to resist but I can't help from looking
CHORUS

The Cackling Few
03:04
|
|||
I don't remember taking a fall
I don't remember much at all
Memories are like photographs that fade
And overtime like life degrade
But still I'm feeling something brew
The tedious, the cackling few
That laugh a little but never stayed
Is it too much to yearn to be free?
Is it strange to want a legacy?
There are some parts of life to forget
But I've not burnt the negatives yet
Still I'm feeling something brew
The tedious, the cackling few
And the unimportant ones that I met

Stylised People Watching
04:04
|
|||
"What an image of future want and need" I mutter in my glass
Watching the people come and go I feel the bottle sure won't last
Everything looks so fine when soaked in wine, I'm soaking up the spite
If I could ask you out... well I thought about it and I think I might
Stylised people watching
Faintly erotic touching
CHORUS2
Captured in a video
Now I can't get rid of you
Not that I would want to
I'm really besotted by you
All the people come and go
Only half of which I know
Perhaps I've been here for too long
Maybe that's where I went wrong?
If I could design the perfect woman I would surely design you
All the best bits of all the passers by I videoed (and drooled)
I've possibly built you up to be someone that does not truly exist
But anyway its been fun watching and drinking until I got pissed
Stylised people watching
Faintly erotic touching
CHORUS
