OYSTER SAUCE

So hot it will burn you twice
What a shame that you ain't that nice
It's clear from the middle up
Your blade was designed to cut

It's true
I don't even know why you are here
Go Blue
I won't say a word until you move

I can't help slipping cause my shoe's so wet
I can't help tripping why's my mind so set

Don't think it could make you blind
Lose wit and you lose your mind
Don't sweat for an end that's fake
Inside touch a space that's great

STRANGERS

Come stand by the fire
Stay cool by the wind
Moistened by the rain
Her thin lips speak
You only leave me wanting
Waiting you don't return
Only for a brief moment
I felt the pain was warm

Waiting to be warmed by the fire
Looking to be cooled by the wind
Moistened by the rain
In life these are the only guarantees

What shadows of the night
Pass me left and right
People I don't know acknowledge
how they ask too much
You must have been there
Somewhere I haven't been
Seems like solid crystal
Or is it just another dream?

Waiting to be warmed by the fire
Looking to be cooled by the wind
Moistened by the rain
In life these are the only guarantees

Shadows of the night

ICE CREAM

Hey, here she comes
I think she's sweet as icecream
I slip into her slipstream
I follow where she goes

Don't you trust me?

Hey, don't be shy
I know your just pretending
A matter of opinion
Evil from your eye

What would you say
If suddenly it hit you?
Talk about offending
Didn't have to try

She treads lightly
I stomp fumbly

Don't you trust me?

FIRST CUT IS THE WEAKEST

I do, I fake all across the screen
I see my old man in dreams
I cry as he says I must look sharp
Stand straight, each day you let slip away
Be glad that the pain's to stay
You'll learn how to make a friend or two

And sure enough
He thinks he's tough
I'll hasten to say
I'll slip away

Not sure, I feel that I should be sad
I left my old ex for green
That should be a way to beat the crowd
Hold on, A glee spreads across my face
I know that I've paid my dues
And now on the way to reach the top

And sure enough
He thinks he's tough
I'll hasten to say
I'll slip away

I'm wide awake now
And brimming with hindsight
I'll secind guess your corpse game
And I believe I'll murder you

Hey, hey, hey, hey.........

You are upset with me

TIME WON'T LET ME

Sometimes I'm really sick of life
It's complicated
Everything's out of whack
It's sycopated
Well that job ain't mine
I prefer the line about fire

Sometimes I'm really sick of life
It's complicated
Everything's out of whack
It's sycopated
So fine, so fine

So many things I'd like to do
But time won't let me
Time won't let me
See a narc decked out in blue
Time won't let me
Time won't let me

TROUBLE TROUBLE

Trouble, trouble, I'm a backflip bunny
Trouble, trouble, I should slow our learning
Easy, easy, won't you take a seat now
You take news like I take?

By the way - I don't have your money

Have you seen that girl that keeps on whispering
She's so pretty, you saw my heart missing
Squeezy, squeezy wound me all tick tock now
Once again I think you've cloned my mind now

By the way - I don't have your money

I like what you do to me
Summer days in front of me

It's been a long while since I saw you out back
There's some tables and chairs and a hard leather rack
There's a glass of water her mouth has been
Had to carry a cross made entirely of dreams
I squeezed real hard just to prove my own strength
An oily old sea and a picturesque house
It's a crazy pack I could see the alarm
Cause you know those folks don't like to be seen
On an empty stomach i jumped in blind
Hanging with ... that are just their kind
It's a figure of speech to admit you're clean
With a haughty face and a piss in the stream

DIM THE LIGHTS

Dim the lights
My troubled eyes

Save yourself
I knew you would

Up until
I read your mind

SHARK'S HEAD

You are my one regret
I shook the shark's head
Pigtails I held you back
What's that I heard a crack

Well I can hold my head up to the sky
I'm not no-one, Don't need a reason why
I don't care if you think I live my life like a fantasy
I'm getting too old and the shit around don't mean so much to me

You are my one regret
Scratch me I crave change
I hate the bathroom
Did you cry I thought I'd ask

FALLEN STAR

Have you ever caught a fallen star and wished the day would never end?
Have you ever whispered something nice and felt her smile sitting in the sun?

Love the way your hair fall by your side, I get so shy that I scratch my nose
Helplessly I fall into your world, and nothing else seems quite the same

Go sister, cause I'm waiting
I'm watching, and I'm hoping
All I know is that your out there
Cause I feel your heart anger

And then we will go and get a bigtop

CHARGER

I'm driving through your country
Admiring all that is so lovely
The lush orange grass is like a bed
Tt makes me sleepy
If I don't watch it I'll nod my head and doze off at the wheel

Hang on a sec, I feel sick
Think I'm going to throw up my lunch
My hands are wet and I feel hot
Please don't think I'm a grot

Charger - I chucked up in a charger
I'm grown up, but I keep on learning

I'M BRINGING YOU DEATH

He's got a wild streak in him
He's got a wild head of hair
He's like Son of Sam dished out
And a snake up the hill
He's the coldest flame
He's got the sharpest edge
And in his mind's eye he says
I cherish the dead

Come on mother, come on father
You can take the train on Tuesday...

He's the wild prince
He's the wild Jame's Dean
He's got a wild priest card collection
And a belly full of burn
He smokes wild cigarettes
And checks shade blade mirror head
Well no two bears look the same

NOSEBLEED

Existential
Monumental
Hope to get wet well
Screaming Apple

Why do you smell?
Icecream fresh swell
Clean my airfill.
Magic keyhole

Down Below
Way to go
What's the matter
Endless chatter

SADLY EVER AFTER

Outside the music keeps playing on
Inside my head hums another song
I hope I won't offend you

Oh Lulu I tell you so
Just how far my heart will go
I hope I won't offend you
No I hope I don't offend you by doing so

Grey big cluds have hid our love
So to our fate the rain has come
But hey I see a rainbow

Can we share what's in our hearts
Even though we still search
Anything is possible
Won't you stay and talk it through, I wan't you to

Yeah baby, I don't wanna be without you
Swallow my pride seems hard so I run and hide away
Listen, listen, listen
Save me, don't let me get defensive
I know how much you tried but I pushed you away
Listen, listen, listen

Anything is possible
Anything is possible
I hope I won't offend you
Won't you stay and talk it through, I wan't you to

BIRTHDAY

She cries a lot
I've seen her tears
So shiny, shiny, shiny
So Shiny, shiny, shiny

And whether or not
I will disappear
So shiny, shiny, shiny
So Shiny, shiny, shiny

Don't think about anyone else but me
Don't think about anyone else but me

She grew some wings
and flew away
So shiny, shiny, shiny
So Shiny, shiny, shiny

And sadly now
I cry every day
So shiny, shiny, shiny
So Shiny, shiny, shiny

Don't think about anyone else but me
Don't think about anyone else but me

Happyness spreads
Tiptoed ahead
Cause its your birthday
Happy Birthday

VULTURES

When the water comes I will stand in the rain
I will let it run over my face
Try to speak my mind but they can't hear me
Through howls of empty writhing shallow crap

They are vultures

When the rain comes to wash all the rock
Again I can feel like myself
Try to speak my mind but they can't hear me
Through howls of empty writhing shallow crap

If you take off your mask they will laugh

Shallow crap

I HATE CLUBBERS

For the pristine power of overglee and all
Sounds like shit don't it?
I've got twelve books
So I guess I think I know everything

You know some of us watch this
And some of us dream
I'm finally hot tonight
A brown peg, a juicy peg
Some of them are watching
Well I like being sneaked up upon

One day, one day, one day, to you
One day, one day, one day, to you

Their time has come
Yeah will be done
Their time has come
You say they run

Let's start a little call
That's sweet
Cause what some aspire to is that pristine state of shit
But not me

You know some of us watch this
And some of us dream
You know some of us watch this
And their keen
Strap along
Take a motorbike and drive it into the pool
Cause of of us are watching
What's an aging rockstar wear
??? , ??? , Long legs
C'mon please
You know some of us are watching
And then some of us dream
C'mon please
You know some of us are watching
C'mon please

One day, one day, one day, to you
One day, one day, one day, to you

Well you know
Not everyone has to be happy
Sometimes you have to dig the seat back and ?
You see It's a matter of balance
So if you don't feel that way
And you dont see that way
Well it's ok
You know - All I'm asking
Is come sit next to me little girl and wipe away those tears
Well see Try and get away
