Lyrics

GARRULOUS

I see the laughing man. Take this creature from my back seat baby. Take this seashell from my, my mermaid's home. Find a nut to crack my sweet, you'll soon be in my head. Trading secrets Sandy taught me. I'll teach you instead. I found her, I know her. Said she was a pretty soldier. Her children's eyes sewed shut, To shield them from the plague, That has become our palace, Where I was young I played. Rip tender claws of lust, Torn out to make it itch, How can you notice us? When you don't wear a stitch. Your poison's running through, My girl's immortal vein, She's shakin' and a-shiverin' Girl's racking from the pain. Our season has run dry, No more Sun we will send, The snow will gently melt, And melt until the end. I see the laughing man. How much can he stand? As he spins around, I know just what he's found. Take me, take me down. Bored by the poems that I write. Bored, quite frankly, by the sight. Take me down, take me round, Take me deeper underground. Where the faeries all meet and stamp their little feet. Take me here, chase me there, I'll go almost anywhere. That you find, that you die, I'll just be fed another line.

PENGUIN IMPRACTICAL

Today's joy was just another one of those fortunate things. My new toy is so close to an angel aside, the feathered wings. Catch the Sun before he brings another, another ,another one. So desperate breath keeps failing me tired and tired ad tired. Suffocate waste my lungs keeping higher and higher and higher. A great big mistake made on my own precious part. I realized you're not, you're not being quite so smart. So desperate breath keeps failing me tired and tired and tired. Suffocate waste my lungs keeping higher and higher and higher. My china doll, so fragile so fragile. To break her my child my child. My china doll, so fragile so fragile. To break her, my child my child. I take a final breath, I take a final breath. So desperate breath keeps failing me tired and tired and tired. Suffocate waste my lungs keeping higher and higher and higher....

GRASSHOPPER MIND

I walk through halls, they're full of chambers. I play this star my worldly strangers. Come take me into the woods in to the night. The sun will weave and burn a 1000 skies. Why can't I try. If you and I, why can't I try? Need benevolence, need deliverance. Come take me , come take me, come take me, come take me home. I play this fear they're full of danger. He takes my charm my worldly anger. Come take me into the woods. Into the night. The sun will weave and burn a 1000 skies. Why can't I fly if you and I why can't I fly? Need benevolence need deliverance. Come take me, come take me, come take me, come take me home. The sun will weave and burn a 1000 skies. Why can't I try, if you and I why can't I try? Need benevolence, need deliverance. Come take me, come take me, come take me, come take me home. Come take me, come take me, come take me, come take me home. Come take me, come take me, come take me, come take me home.

LULLABY

Why can't I turn back time? Why can't I say good-bye? Take this wish and make it mine.I've come to the end of the road.I'll see you there. These walls all see and hear. Keeping secrets of my tears. Take my past and rub it out. I never realized what I gained. Cut off my nose to spite my face. I've come to the end of the road. I'll see you there. I'll meet you there. I'll see you there.

FAT ELVIS

Too many fingers in too many pies. Far too concerned with the where's and whys. I feel like an empty shell...disorientated. As I gaze into the light of Vegas. The glare of casinos and Mercedes. See me gain another pound, another frown who cares it's me! When the feeling goes and eyes, and eyes don't shine. I realize quickly I have toed the line. I feel like an empty shell, disorientated. As I gaze into the lights of Vegas. The glare of casinos and Mercedes. See me gain another pound, another frown who cares it's me? Lilting light, found my Lisa-Marie... I feel like an empty shell, disorientated,see me gain another pound another frown who cares it's me? As I gaze into the lights of Vegas. The glare of casinos and Mercedes. Love me tender, love me do. Love me, love me tender, love me true.

DURANGO 75

The pieces fit, I know I'll find, my knees won't sit, your little girl tried to survive. Durango seven-five. Where do they go? Who do they see? I tried so hard to make it me. My thoughts too dull, your body lithe, Durango seven-five. Stare in the direction of me, they'll be, they'll be, they'll be trouble. Take in the perfection of me. Take my hand, take my hand. The pieces fit, I can't unwind, my knees won't fit, I'll try to bind, your little girl, tried to survive, I'll find you...Durango, Durango, where did you go? Durango, where do you..? Durango, where do you go?

WOMB NOISE

I thought I had escaped another bad day, out on planet Earth, but cables, wires and phone pulse tones, made it seem I had little worth. My car couldn't move fast enough as were laden with time. Wanted to be somewhere, somewhere else. With you and the sunshine. Can you feel ut? Can you hear it? Is this colour a mistake on me? If it is would you let me know? I'd change designer labels if you just tell me so. I want to get it right. I want to get it right. Take my hand, move it up and let it flow...I stopped falling to the ground and shut everything out, except the noise of you. Closed my eyes and turned into myself because it's a turn on, what do you do? Select one good moment we've had, categorize all you have tasted. Forget the tomb think noise of womb. Make redundant the things, the things you have wasted. Can you hear it? I know you feel it. Is this colour a mistake on me? if it is would you let me know? I'd change designer labels if you just tell me so. I want to get it right, I want to get it right. Take my hand, move it up and let it flow...can you hear it? Can you fell it? Let it flow...Can you hear it? Can you fell it? Let it flow...

MARY' FINAL STEPS

To tell a tale of warning is not an easy feat. To tell one of mourning though, is but a simple date. Mary rode her saddle of fire right down to the muddy bank. Halted at the river, in the mud her steed's hooves sank. All the mothers God damn this place of peace. Mary jumped off and strode right up, gazed out at her own grey eyes reflected in the water. Poor girl was damn mesmerized. Her man , Billy-Joe told her she'd find it there, beneath the crystal stones. She never realized he be talking of her bones. All the mothers God damn this place of peace. Slipping off her white silk shoes, she flinches at the pain of sharp stones all razor sharp cutting her petal soft veins. Dipping her toe in the icy cold, Mary feels her home is near. She wades in deeper, deeper to her calf, up to her knee she shows no fear. All the mothers God damn this place of peace. Her tangled hair on the surface breaking ripples in a hundred ways. Up to her shoulders all she can do is gaze at the colours swirling beneath the murky depths. Her lips so sweet and so submerged, Mary takes her final steps. All the mothers, all the fathers, al the daddies God damn this place of peace. Mary, Mary, meek and mild. Never was the brightest child.
