Tickled Pink
03:18
|
|||
|
A grey hair - I turned the other cheek
If I turn away for long enough I won't find what I won't seek
Be I wise or be I clown?
It even hurts a little bit when I am sitting down
CHORUS
Whoever you are I'm older than you think
I'm glad that you think otherwise - I'm truly tickled pink
Whoever you are I'll gladly take the praise
I'm slowly growing older but I hope its just a phase
Won my heart all torn and soiled
It has beaten and then burst more than anyone in this world
Have a laugh - give a smile
I'm an educated mind but mentality of a child
CHORUS

Going to the Light
03:05
|

|
You caught me at an all-time low
Although I may have imagined it
You won me with a shy hello
I'm open doors, still fighting fit
Are you an angel or a dream?
If dreaming then I'll sleep some more
This is a recurring theme
I think it is a body flaw
CHORUS
If I'm going to the light
Then I'll do so with a fight
My fists are firm and blood red raw
If I'm going to the light
Then I do not choose tonight
So please take your time and shut the door
Close my mouth and close my eyes
Save every breath that I have left
I'm not always the most wise
I smelt our lives and it sure whiffed
CHORUS

I'm Not Fazed
04:08
|
|||
|
Cover up? I've nothing to be ashamed of
I'm growing up - I guess I am, well kind of
What you see is what you have forgotten
Enjoy the sight because I'm starting to go rotten
CHORUS
She saw me and I'm not fazed
We capsized in the old days
Poisoned chalice, but the venoms deep in your blood
Are you thinking? I thought I heard a loud thud
Sink or swim, won't you please pass me the armbands
Picture me naked waving at my true fans
CHORUS

Guardian Angel
04:00
|
|||
|
If I close my eyes enough
I can feel the hope and love. Somewhere
Nut reality is cruel
That's the only certain rule
There's no guardian angel for you
Has someone walked over my grave?
With a sign saying "Jesus Saves"
That they hammer in the ground
Scattering all my bones around
There's no guardian angel for you
They don't hang around much with fools
When I've passed and long forgotten
And you've truly reached life's bottom
Take your hypocritical stare
And shove it somewhere, I don't care
There's no guardian angel for you
They don't hang around much with fools

Green With Envy
03:50
|
|||
|
I don't have time for anyone
I put a cross through having fun
But I'm fooling no-one
With my whining
CHORUS
I'm green with envy
Don't see what you see
It make me crazy, out of sorts
I have a hunger
For something younger
But I've been stung once before
Phroar!
It's one of Pablo Picasso's bitches
Doing her crazy cubic twitches
Whilst my cell phone goes and glitches
What bad timing!
CHORUS

|
Blue eyes pierce through the sunlight
True eyes penetrate the soul
Blue eyes burning ever bright
In my eyes you're lifeless like a doll
CHORUS
Fading, wading through all the muck and gunk we made
Saving the best years of my life
Craving, waving goodbye to all the times you stole
Saving the best years of my life
Shallow eyes see what you desire
Feigned eyes let out a single tear
Blue eyes that cloak you as a liar
In their eyes you're feeble and you're dear
CHORUS

Ouija Board
02:41
|
|||
|
Wake up and smell the coffee
It smells much better than the mess you've made
Games up you've been acknowledged
For all the damaging games you played
CHORUS
I can't forgive all the grief you caused
I can't forget how my whole life paused
But I can tell you now that I've sourced you from this Ouija board
You're dead but not forgotten
Well by most people but not by me
You can't wake, can't smell the coffee
I hope the floor you stand on is fiery
CHORUS
I look up to give a prayer
But I can't bring myself a single nice word
Anyway I really should look down
Because you're smouldering in the heat, I heard
CHORUS

Sex Cells
04:00
|
|||
|
Death sells and sex sells
So we're all walking on egg shells
We're watching our actions, we're watching our mouths
Whilst we all reach for the top shelves
Christ alive and hells bells!
The politics and the rancid smells
From rumouring to kiss and tells
And its pumping through to my sell cells
CHORUS
Sex Cells (Death Cells)
From foxy maids to sexy elves
The dribble is dripping from all of our mouths
Pass the tissues and whatever else
To mop up all the unpleasant gels
Societies waving its farewells
As the Tik Tok dancer's ego swells
The future's all George Orwells
And its pumping through to my sex cells
CHORUS
Death sells and sex sells
So we're all walking on egg shells
We're watching our actions, we're watching our mouths
Whilst we all reach for the top shelves
CHORUS

Learning to Forgive
04:20
|
|||
|
If I could jump forward a million years
Would I be satisfied?
The demons in my mind grow ever fierce
If sense is not applied
I've worked hard at learning to forgive
For such a long long time
The past can be a challenge to live with
The good clouded with grime
CHORUS
I can't be dignified
We are forever shamed
To be whatever history saves
And history starts again
If I was handed a crystal ball
Would I avoid meeting her?
Or would I just enjoy the fun n'all
But escape earlier
For every single scar there's a fun time
At least I think there was
I'm learning to forgive each and every crime
That represented us
CHORUS
If I could jump forward a million years
Would I be satisfied?
CHORUS
