Nine cats.
"The butterfly sailed on the breeze
Past a field of barbed wire trees
Where golden dragons chased around
Pampered poppies on the ground
Two silver trout sat way on high
And watched a royal samurai
Plant two black orchids in a box
And strap it to a laughing fox
A minstrel bought a crooked spoon
He gave it to a blue baboon
Who filled it full of virgin snow
And watched it in the afterglow"
Radioactive toy
"Taste the water from a stream of running death
Eat the apple and cough a dying breath
Feel the sun burning through your black skin
Pour me into a hole, inform my next of kin"
Moonloop
"Springtime is over
Don't head for home
Creep up the ladder
And steal over stone"
Stars Die
"Stars die. Blinding skies."
Dark Matter
"Dark matter flowing out on to a tape
Is only as loud as the silence it breaks
Most things decay in a matter of days
The product is sold the memory fades
Crushed like a roseIn the river flow
I am I know"
Stupid Dream
"And I may just waste away from doing nothing
But you're a martyr for even less"
Pure Narcotic
"You keep me waiting
You keep me alone in a room full of friends
You keep me hating
You keep me listening to the Bends"
A smart Kid
"And I will wait for you
Until the sky is blue
And I will wait for you
What else can I do?"
Lightbulb Sun
"The sun is a light bulb
A candle's a treatThe curtains stay closed now
On my little retreat
And I'll only take medicine
If it's followed by sweets
A sickly pink liquidThat puts me to sleep"
How is your life today?
"I was kissed on the cheek by a cold mouth
While the taxi was waiting like a getaway car
Each second seems like a lifetime
And the cat it's been staring at me all this time
How is your life today ?"
Shesmovedon
"She changes every time you look
By summer it was all gone - now she's moved on
She called you every other day
So savour it it's all gone - now she's moved on"
The rest will flow
"One simple thing that I never could see
But now I know
All of the rest will flow"
Hatesong
"Yes, I'm hearing voices too
And I'm more cut up than you"
Feel so low
"You can pretend that
I don't exist for you"
Trains
"Always the summers are slipping away"
Prodigal
"I don't know whose side I'm on
I don't think that I belong round here
If I left the stage would that be wrong ?
I tried to find myself a better way
I got religion but I went astray
They took my money and I lost my faith"
Strip the soul
"This machine
Is there to please
Strip the soul
Fill the hole
A fire to feed
A belt to bleed
Strip the soul
Kill them all"
Collapse the light into earth
I won't shiver in the cold
I won't let the shadows take their toll
I won't cover my head in the darkAnd
I won't forget you when we part
Collapse the Light Into Earth
I won't heal given time
I won't try to change your mind
I won't feel better in the cold light of day
But I wouldn't stop you if you wanted to stay
Collapse the Light Into Earth"
The start of something Beatiful
"The more I show the way I feel
The less I find you give a damn
The more I get to know
The less I find that I understand
Innocent, the time we spent
Forgot to mention we're good friends
You thought it was the start of something beautiful?
Well think again."
Open Car
"I'm getting feelings
I'm hiding too well
(Bury the horse shaped shell)
Something broke inside my stomach
I let the pieces lie just where they fell
(Being with you is hell)"
My ashes
And my ashes find a way beyond the fog
And return to save the child that I forgot
And my ashes fade among the things unseen
And a dream plays in reverse on piano keys
And my ashes drop upon a park in Wales
Never-ending clouds of rain, and distant sails"
Anesthetize
"Water so warm that day (water so warm that day)
I counted out the waves (I counted out the waves)
As they broke into shore
I smiled into the sun"
Way out of here
"I'll try to forget youAnd I know that I will
In a thousand yearsOr maybe a week"
Great Expectations
"They locked you up
So I forgot you
Forgot your name, so strange
I wonder if you got out"
Drawing the line
"I'm drawing the line, I'm drawing the lineI'm drawing the line, I draw the line
And I have my pride
I'm taking control, I'm taking controlI'm taking control, I'm taking control
And I save my soul
I'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you outI'm shutting you out, I'm shutting you out
And I have no doubt"
Your unpleasant family
"It's alright my flower
so what did we learn?
(there I found regret amongst the trees)"
Drive The Hearse
"When this boredom wears me out
Then the sky begins to cloud
Sleeping with my ball and chain
When she cries I take the blame
And pride is just another way
Of trying to live with my mistakes
Denial is a better way
Of getting through another day
And silence is another way
Of saying what I wanna say
And lying is another way
Of hoping it will go away
And you we're always my mistake...
When I'm down I drive the hearse"
Black Dalhia
"There's nothing here for you under the sun
There's nothing new to do, it's all been done
So put your faith in another place"
Remember me Lover
"And all this shit could have happened to anyone"
