Kinky Brass and Betty's underground
She taught the French to mind their toast
I said I wanted her magnetaphone
So I could ta-tape her to the post
Now have you sorted your affairs?
Have you managed your affairs?
You better do or die
I love that playing with yourself
Love that playing with yourself
You better do or die
Paper, scissors, rock n roll
Paper, scissors, rock n roll
You better do or die
Better do or die
She took my hand and pulled a master stroke
That 4 nd 20'll leave you blind
We came upon a room of flashin' yokes
She tripped a switch and blew my mind
Now everybody's feelin' fine
Everybody's gettin' high
You better do or die
I've been the chalk, I've been the cheese
I've been the chalk, yeah I've been the fuckin' cheese
You better do or die
Paper, scissors, rock n roll
Paper, scissors, rock n roll
You better do or die
He's the jack of spades in a flush of hearts
do or die
He's the kerosene in the burning parts
do or die
He's a businessman in a preachers gown
do or die
He's London bridge come tumblin' down
do or die
So keep on flyin'
do or die do or die
So keep on flyin'
do or die do or die
So keep on flyin'
do or die do or die

Love's Sweet Ghost
03:11
|

I'm certain to succeed
Straw as thick as babies thighs
that sprouted from my lungs
Glory on the lips that blow the darkness from my bones
The shrouded gaze the winters heart the reminiscent pose
and my shaking hand
There's no escaping light
for knotted golden breaking through
to linger with the day
The hunger lust beneath our bellies is tearing us apart
An awkward meeting in a place is nothing in this world
but a wish away
If I were tickled rose
and not ashamed through hood or wink
to scribble and impress
If I were pissed on love's sweet ghost before the day was long
and all the gracious plans come falling from my lovers eyes
into the depths

Devour & Churn
04:36
|

|
Now the lights are out
We're dancin' cheek to cheek
But it's a fantasy
Because you're someplace else
They say you're deepening
That you're full of sin
With your rubber cock
With your staple gun
Devour & Churn
Devour & Churn
You're coming into land
You're on a big descent
Don't let them fool ya, son
you gotta pay the price
Cos there's a price to pay
For living in a cave
In a big, black box
It just don't make sense
Devour & Churn
Devour & Churn
I'm shapeless, I'm grotesque
I'm cold as a midnight stone
I'm a freak!!
I'm a freak!!
gotta slow me down
gotta slow me down
I'm gonna drink that pain
gonna drink that pain
Devour & Churn yeah!
Devour & Churn yeah!
Devour & Churn yeah!
Devour & Churn yeah!

Pimpernel
In the realm of the cosmic free
I'll be your funny guy
You'll be the death of me
Let's jump in and wave bye bye
Sail away boy and finish 'em
Come back a pimpernel
Then scream me to Brigadoon
Scream me two black eyes
Swollen Glands and Varicose
You have got your swollen glands
and I have varicose
Together we can rule the roost
until one of us chokes
I'll wrap you up in cellophane
of relics I can dream
But there's so much you don't understand
There's so much I can scream
There's so much I can scream
I praise you for your lazy eye
You fill my sins with pride
I praise you for the looking glass
Where all those symptoms hide
Sometimes I feel like I've gotta apologise
For being me
You see I underachieve, underachieve
But I still got my scream
yeah it makes me want to scream

Am I floating to Alison Island faraway
Cos there's something I needed to tell them over there
That my heart is a burning castle, let it burn
They'll be walking on coals and embers without a care
And maybe they'll know me
I feel safe when I'm floating
To Alison
Am I floating to Alison Island faraway
Cos there's something I needed to tell them over there
That my heart is a burning castle, let it burn
They'll be walking on coals and embers without a care
And maybe they'll know me
I feel safe when I'm floating
To Alison
Am I floating to Alison Island faraway
Cos there's something I needed to tell them over there
That my heart is a burning castle, let it burn
They'll be walking on coals and embers without a care
And maybe they'll know me
I feel safe when I'm floating
To Alison

Memories of a young boy
01:32
|
|||
|
We were hacked open between a rock and a nail
And free at last
up through the hills
There was a dog hanging from a tree
and 5.15 was scuttling around in me ceann
Outta me brain on the train on the train
We were only thirteen but something changed that day
With Humpy the auld bollox
And my old brace
Up the driveway on a high speed chase
And it's ok to feel this way
I have a laugh about it but it was real
and it still is real
So live the consequence of your emotion
and be not afraid to rock in the ocean
Little boy you are devotion
You pushed through and divided that space

Venus will you smile
I'm feeling down again
Cos I'm all written off until you show
Suffer Little Heart
and may you dance again
There's not many ways to let you go
Machine gun me down
Machine gun me down
