Some Say
Some say what some will say / Some do what some will do / Some think what some will think / And think what they think of you / An expert in your field / Your awesomeness revealed / You can be assured / A put down was inferred / I see it in your eyes / Your reflection satisfies / You’ve got it all worked out / Down to your tofu and your sprouts / On the day your corpse is dressed you’ll / Know they really were impressed / Tell the I say hi / and that they’re more complex than pi / But we will live for our own pleasure / The first one they acquit / Is the village idiot / so smile and nod your head / Then forget what they just said / you think I’m just debris / well my friend that works for me / Your ladder climb awaits and I hope you please the fates / But we will live for our own pleasure / we will live for now or never
Mad Universe
Hand deliver me a shiver and we’ll see in time / If it grows up to a rose or just a strangler vine / Did I mention I’m on the pension because once a time / I broke in two and some magic glue was far to hard to find / Legs like a beetle he went foetal and started to self harm / she got depressed then weight obsessed but never lost her charm / She’s a hooker but you mistook her she’s paying for her school / He wears a dress and tends to regress but he’ll never be your fool / I ain’t got time for someone without flaw there’s nothing more perverse / If you ceased to exist you would not be missed by a mad universe
The Price is Right Now
We all know the words so lets all sing along / I want my money back / We all know the words so lets all sing along / I want my money back right now / She says open me up / and I’ll sing like a music box
Radio
Don’t bring your radio to school / Don’t bring your radio to work / Don’t bring your radio to court
She Looks Fine in the Morning Light
She looks fine in the morning light / Hair is the colour of coffee grains / toes are paired like candy canes / She looks fine in the morning light / The sun shows that her tooth is chipped / perfection always makes me sick / She looks fine in the morning light
Stranger Every Day
I exist as a name in a phone book / As a signature in a yearbook / I exist as a link in a network / I exist on a tag at an airport / I exist as a demograph / I exist as a voting stat / I exist on a document / filed away under monies lent / Must a thing be more than it is / Just to wind up a sticker on your fridge / our lives repackaged like a sandwich / every connection now has a toll bridge / yesterday was the day that I saw her / and I asked if she’d mind if I draw her / She said it’s no defeat / To forever be incomplete / be that as it may / I get stranger every day
What You Wear
A carnival of carnivores is waiting at the door / A cul de sac of cataracts search for a drinking straw / She fences her pretences down by the liquor store / While he censures his dementias just to last for one week more / Don’t be so particular about what you wear / A fireman on fire can tell you everything’s just fine / a hypocrite on a sinking ship speaks of a grand design / He set for on lilliput just to retail eggs / then embraced his greed beyond all need just so he could beg / Don’t be so particular about what you wear / A carnival of carnivores is waiting at the door / A cut de sac of cataracts search for a drinking straw / Grandad claims that picture frame once held ‘A Starry Night’ / While she defaces all her graces then says I’ve seen the light / Don’t be so particular about what you wear.
Breathe
When I am with you I can breath / Send them off to space send them wide send them far / Send them out for oil send them off to Zanzibar / Let them bring back gold let them all please their queen / While they make their speeches we can sneak out in between / cause when I am with you I can breath
Carnival
The carnival has come to town / Suburbanites are getting down / They’re racing trollies down the street / While Mr Headly cooks his meat / they’re lining up around the block / To do a line of chicken stock / Him / Her / Us / We / He / Them / They / She / By the pool they’re getting bold / They welcome all into the fold(s) / They tell the postman come on cuz / Xanax really gives a buzz / Him / Her / Us / We / He / Them / They / She / Hammond organ! / Dr Phill has been switched off / The Woman’s Weekly’s in the shop / Leather seats never felt this good / And I suspect they never should
Mad Parade
Marching band to the beat of a siren / Fireworks fuse is primed for firing / Q.T.Q news is a major sponsor / The proceeds go to a cure for cancer / The sketch artist captures an unnerving likeness / The car crash victims get a minutes silence / The winner of the raffle wears a cardboard crown / the Rohypnol’s in the lost and found / At five past one everyone sees the rain come / In no time it’s done and out comes the sun again / Nansy takes snaps for the local paper / The cop doesn’t feel at all the need to mace her / The juggling bear doesn’t wear a muzzle / It’s been three years since he ripped their face off
Lost at Sea
We’re adrift in a sea we’re adrift in a sea can’t you see we’re adrift in a sea / but it ain’t my concern if the sun still burns / no it ain’t my concern you see / We’re adrift in a sea we’re adrift in a sea can’t you see we’re adrift in a sea / So if you believe in an Adam and Eve or if you believe in greed / Or if you believe compromise is a creed then you’re welcome to what you receive / Cause you ain’t my concern if the sun still burns / no you ain’t my concern you see
Hell in a Hand Basket
She got inside me, untied me then flew / No trace of the night but the bright morning dew / The beads of her sweat you can bet were a clue / she’d slip through my fingers before it was through / Horsepower unbridled is tidal and comes / In at the dawn and is drawn to the sun / Sand castles stand tall till they get washed away / Insects who defect from the swarm become prey / Down in her core / Nothing was pure / It was why I wanted more / We hate our creators our Mars and our Pas / Peasants kissed pendents then shot all the Tzars / When those who bestow we owe all our good stars / But she got inside me and left me ajar / Down in her core / Nothing was pure / It was why I wanted more / Down in her core / Nothing was pure / It was why she was a cure
Brave New World
Pepsi targets the A.D.H.D. demograph / Ronald McDonald tries using his cock to clone a calf / After market research Nike redesigns it’s swish / They add a stick figure and turn it to a crucifix / They make an Add because the sales of Big Macs have got slow / That says they are the all time favourite last meal on death row / Subway makes a sandwich that contains a parasite / That after three weeks in your guts will make you look shit hot in tights / K.F.C sells it’s chips with packs of Clearasil / Russel Brand stars when Fox remakes ‘Triumph Of The Will’ / Playstation makes a game they call ‘Terrorist Attack’ / XBox comes right back with ‘Kill A Cop On Crack’ / Mitre10 uses rubber breasts to brighten up the aisles / ‘A Current Affair’ fills it’s set with severed cocks of Paedophiles / Apple makes an iPod that injects a sedative / After it plays you Sia it reminds you where you live / It’s a brand new brave new world
What Do You Expect?
What is it that you expect to find inside your mind?
Transformation
Transformation
Taste It
I can taste it
Flower
How you feel you can pick it like a flower / There are times when things will get dire / And there are times when you must fight fire with fire / For every mood there’s a day and there’s an hour / And how you feel you can pick it like a flower / She says that it is not a storm / It is just energy that’s changing form / But if in the night that thunder makes you cower / How you feel you can pick it like a flower
Hurricane Girl
If I can find that hurricane girl floating on the air / If I can find that hurricane girl with her hurricane hair / If I can find that hurricane girl I’d settle in the eye / If I can find that hurricane girl I’ll watch the world whirl by / Polka dot wings and spiderweb strings are lacing up her boot / and set to chance the direction of ants amongst the sprouts and shoots / And the wind blows spore by the dozen and the score until they fill the sky / and the wind blows seed so the locust can feed once their wings are dry / But if I can find that hurricane girl floating on the air / If I can find that hurricane girl with her hurricane hair / If I can find that hurricane girl I’ll settle in the eye / If I can find that hurricane girl I’d watch the world whirl by
Catherine Wheel
There’s a place behind my face that breaks down brick and steel / It breaks a cross or brazen ox and bust a Catherine wheel / If by prayer or boatman fare I wash up on the shore / And while I’m there I won’t care to know you anymore / Factory fresh all packed and pressed on a production line / It does suggest what we ingest is rotting on the vine / They do say we come from clay and clay is where we end / It’s in deep space we find a trace of something that can ascend / If you assault with catapult you may just make a dent / But I’m told that wall will hold long after you’re spent / She kicks and bites but her best fight on the fire she threw / If you want to win then look within and burn it out of you
Old Gods
And there’s hungry flies on the icon’s eyes today / And we make face paint from the ash from saints for play / And the stained glass lips bear the crucifix like a brand / And there were hidden holes where stigmata flowed from the hand / Resurrect the old gods / And Venus sings of how Cupid’s wings never tire / And Apollo swings as he plucks the strings of his lyre / And Seth’s hands wring at the offering we lay / He’ll keep sandstorms and locust swarms at bay / Resurrect the old gods
We All Bleed
Let’s all clap our hands / Lets all stomp our feet / Let’s jump in the air / Let’s scream oh my god / Let’s all clap our hands / and count down a lifespan / Lets all stomp our feet / In time to a heartbeat / Let’s generate heat / and sway like fields of wheat / Let’s all play our trump / while our blood still pumps / Cause we all bleed
Forever and Amen
He came and went and never did much more than what was in the script / He came and went and never left much more than what was in the crypt / They didn’t get him in one hit they got to him bit by bit / He capitulated sip by sip then evaporated drip by drip / She was full of promises I promise not to let it out / When she began to grow on me I promised not to let it sprout / Let’s find forever where we can / Let’s find forever, forever and amen / Never knew a salesman who would buy what he sells to me / Never knew words that did more than cast a spell on me / I never knew a movie scene that felt like real life to me / We get a sentiment an actor gets a salary / Money buys and we all try not to lust the glint of it / We all buy it in the end but do we all buy into it / Let’s find forever where we can / Let’s find forever, forever and amen
Maypole
Remember in the crowd how she said to you for you to hold on tight / Well you held on tight with all your might / But there’s a time to let it go / and now’s a time to let it go / Some things would pass me by, some things would catch my eye / And I would try and try / to make them my ally / What I thought I’d possessed, I’d only caressed / And as for the rest it got locked in a chest / But there’s a time to let it go / and now’s a time to let it go / And a time to let it go is a time to let it in and not a time to care where or who you’ve been / And a time to let it go is a time for within for a stream to flow and a clown to grin / And I time to let it go is a time to begin for something more than just something / Don’t let the record show / just let the record spin cause a time to let it go is a time to let it in / What do we really own / When we all let it go / and we all let it go
