When you're bound and you're trapped
And there still seems a small way out
Houdini moves
Dance floor grooves
I'm the master at the limbo
CHORUS1
I climbed a little bit higher
But I got nowhere at all
And I'm a compulsive liar
When there is so far to fall
Cuz I'm trapped
When you're blinded and gagged
And there is seemingly no chance of a voice
I've no choice
I'm the dumb one and the jester
CHORUS1
CHORUS2
I'm the king of the super highway
I'm the gremlin of crumbling years
I have seen what is coming my way
And it is worse than my very worst fears
Cuz I'm trapped
When you are bound and you're trapped
And there still seems a small way out
Don't give in
I'm just saying I have proved a good can come of it

FIRST TIME I SET MY EYES ON YOU
Him: "First time I set my eyes on you
Every fantasy I'd ever dreamed suddenly seemed far more true
I hope you weren't put off by my numb grin
But I was dumbstruck and couldn't remember who I was or where I'd been"
Her "First time I set my eyes on you
I was frightened and near set my whole damn pack of dogs on you
And first impressions tend to last
Did you not take the hint when watching as I ran away so fast"
CHORUS
Past life, fast life, fading away
If the shoe fits its not my shoe
Past life, fast life turning the air kind of blue
Him: "First time I set my eyes on you
I guess I kinda knew that it was all far too good to be true
My mouth spluttered out some words
But they all just merged together into indecipherable turds"
Her: "First time I set my eyes on you
It was such unpleasant viewing that I very nearly spewed
Stop sitting there! Please just move along
You're not the kind of lover that I sing about in song"
CHORUS

Going Crazy

I've been thinking about you lately
The thoughts they never hush
I whisper sweet and whisper faintly
I said that you're too lush
CHORUS
That's wrong
You've been perfect all along
I'm getting fuzzy feelings and I'm hazy
I's so right
I hope I stay the night
I hope and think I might be going crazy
(On the level - post a devil
Posting several - This is how it is)
There's a gossip voice in my mind
One I like to hear
I mustered all the gossip I find
But it won't come near
I said I think I'm going crazy
But that's over you
Its not another funny phase, see
As I'm talking true
CHORUS (Reversed)
I've been thinking about you lately
Every day it's more
Our rumour chance increases daily
But time I so adore
So I gave another giggle
It turned to a laugh
Whilst we gossip and we whittle on about something daft
CHORUS

Pump Up the Thrills

We're sat in darkness but I couldn't face the light on
I am embarrassed about all that you can see
I've done some things that I am sure should just be frowned upon
So blow the trumpet this is all the real me
Is it illusion? Or I am the magic master
I tried so hard but the rabbit won't appear
So am I sweating? Is my heart just beating faster
If I undress can you give out a little cheer?
CHORUS
Pump up the thrills
Pump up the sounds
Pump up the party as there's noone left around
Pump up the stakes
See the surreal
I think I need the benefit of just a little feel
[I know this isn't rocket science but why invent the wheel]
Some things you don't forget like how to ride a cycle
You would not say that if you saw how bad I ride
I blame the time I spent living with a psycho
That left me damaged and all empty inside
CHORUS
I take things step by step and not to disappoint you
But I am half as good as I would strive to be
A large Jack Daniels and a secret pint of special brew
This is as confident as I'll most likely be
CHORUS

Smell Like Sex

If I smile with gusto will you follow me
I've been hiding things that you'd like to see
Well perhaps not to see but be sure to feel
So just close you eyes and prepare to squeal
I don't want to shock you lets turn out the light
We've so much to do it will take all night
Oh please move closer as I need your touch
And just give a sign if its all too much
CHORUS
Are you sure I'm not ugly if you wear your specs?
Well hello young lady can I flex my pecs
And I'm sure that we both know what comes next
And I feel all sweaty and I smell like sex
I'm no Mr Universe, no pin up star
Now we're together it has raised the bar
I want you tonight and tomorrow too
And when we depart have the smell of you
CHORUS

Gothic Chicken were from my hometown of Weymouth, and when I was a wee young lad they were my favourite band on our local scene. Its not hard to see why.
