Non Albums Tracks

One after 5AM

Amber leaves were falling,
Walls in dresses of grafiti,
The sky was a broken blue,
Take the desires of a madman,
With the wishes of a fool,
Equals me and you.

Time and time again I've drowned in my own desires,
Don't know why.

I jump in the ocean,
Land on a higher ground,
Stripped of a real emotion,
I'm one of the lost and found.

Breathing rocks deep underwater,
Tangled secrets sleep forgotten,
A leaving gift from you,
In a maze of misadventure,
Thought I felt what lay beside me,
Glimpsed a naked view.

Time and time again I've drowned in my own desires,
Don't know why.

I jump in the ocean,
Land on a higher ground,
Stripped of a real emotion,
I'm one of the lost and found,
One of the lost and found,
One of the lost and found,
One of the lost and found.

Atom

Sunken sky of silver gray,
A shame they took the sun away,
I could have done with some,
Today the world's a shade of blue,
Decidedly because of you,
Honey, I don't know why.

I've seen the sign, the silhouettes, the darker side,
I know so well.

I don't where I've fallen,
I don't where I've fallen,
Only one way to go,
I won't miss you.

Magic tales and pony tails and fingernails,
That should have been cleaned,
Yesterday, far away,
The memories swell,
The minutes fade,
Hours pass and decades fail,
Honey, I don't wanna die.

And life is like unfaithful sand,
Slipping through this opened hand.

I don't where I've fallen,
I don't where I've fallen,
Only one way to go,
I won't miss you,
I won't miss you,
I won't miss you.

We know better

I know the way the west wind blows,
The way temptation grows,
The way that fortunes flow.

La la la la la.

Wired on emotions,
They don't understand,
But we know better,
I know the way the preachers pray,
And who the angels save,
And where the devil plays.

La la la la la.

Wired on emotions,
They don't understand,
But we know better,
High from motions and we pave the way,
And we know where we want to go,
We know better.

Four hands making plans,
Making signs, conversation,
Two minds lost in time,
Yours and mine.

Wired on emotions,
They don't understand,
But we know better,
High from motions and we pave the way,
And we know where we want to go,
We know better.

I don't belong here

Stealing words along the silent smiles,
Sleepy town held me down,
waved good-bye,
World unfolds, seashore swirl,
horizon's the same,
Destiny breeds a life of isolation,
Give to me the bitter flesh of inspiration,
Watch me future seed a gift from god.

I don't belong here,
I don't belong here,
What I've said and done build a world in my arms.

Lay down your guns,
Lay down your sky,
We are dreamers, dreamers a nightmare apart.

I don't belong here,
I don't belong here,
I don't belong here,
I don't belong,
What I've said and done build a world of my own.

Bunty

Lost my ticket at the gate,
And now l'm cross and now I'm late,
The station has a lengthy cue,
And you said I could be with you,
But will you still be waiting,
When I finally get to,
Where you're waiting to.

Met you at the old school gate,
Where you were hanging with your mates,
You flicked your fingers through your hair,
It was chilly for that time of year,
My head went spinning into space,
Just like you'd smacked me in the face.

When I got there in the end,
I caught you srogging with my friend,
What if she's pretty, if she is smart,
I saw you first you broke my heart,
And life's not fair and it's so cruel,
'Cos you said I could be with you.

Now I don't think you're good enough,
And after school I'll beat you up.

Centipede

You're a centipede crawling down my spine,
You're the evil world of the nursery rhyme,
You're the drug in which I fly.

Drag me under,
Douse the tracks,
Dressed in anger,
Hit back, hit back, hit back.

You're an open wound that was left to bleed,
You're my only friend,
Don't be cruel to me,
I smash the looking glass against my head,
Let my senses burn as my body bled,
We are immigrants in a fractured time,
Found the pieces of a life that's mine,
You're all I fear that I might find.

Drag me under,
Douse the track,
Dressed in anger,
Hit back, hit back, hit back,
Oh, oh, oh, oh.

You're an animal in an open cage,
You're an orchestra in a manic phase,
You're the dream in which I die.

Drag me under,
Douse the track,
Dressed in anger,
Hit back, hit back, hit back.

Drag me under,
Douse the track,
Dressed in anger,
Hit back, hit back, hit back,
Hit back, hit back, hit back.

Fake

My love don't despair,
There's no other could compare,
Only lust can come between us,
And I know you wouldn't dare.

Oh, oh yes I know, oh,
Ah ha there's no other,
Only only you can do it better,
Only only you can do it better,
Only you.

My love you're not there,
They're betrayal in the air,
You're a cheater you're a liar,
Smell the perfume in your hair.

Oh heaven knows oh,
Ah ha here's the other,
Only only you can do it better,
Only only you can do it better,
Only you.

Only fools do it better,
We leave the fakes behind,
Only fools do it better,
We leave the fakes behind,
Only only you can do it better,
Only only you can do it better,
Only you, you.

God's guest list

Come slip inside,
Take a chair,
The final performance is almost here,
So it's time to go, l'll close the show,
The death of an actor who no one knows.

Now that the show is over,
Will I belong to you,
Now that the show is over,
Will I be, will I be, will I be,
On God's guest list.

The worm inside, the worm inside,
Culled from a lifetime of standing by,
Oh I followed all the golden rules,
Head lined a season of solitude,
On the back of a broken dream,
They cashed another money machine,
You took your chance, you showed your skill,
You really didn't know any better,
You gave a little hope, you stole a little something,
You really didn't know any better.

Now that the show is over,
Will I belong to you,
Now that the show is over,
Will I be, will I be, will I be,
On God's guest list,
Moving on.

Sleeping Hitler

I deny feeling inside for a long time,
and now I realize there are part of everyone,
like a sleeping hitler,
There's strength of destruction,
I thought part of me,
when pain is the opium.

But it's much too late to be judged,
How I wish I was blindly,
I wish I was blindly,
I wish I was blindly,
blindly loved.

For desire,
carry the cross of obsession,
a tumbling of launch,
I naturally poisoned,
I'm a sleepig hitler,
No better than anyone,
I've learned to be civilized,
and that is the difference.

But it's much too late to be judged,
how I wish I was blindly,
I wish I was blindly,
I wish I was blindly,
I wish I was blindly,
Wish I was blindly,
I wish I was.

I know who you are,
I'll tell you something,
I know what you are,
I know because you showed me,
I was really out there,
Oh yes you showed me,
I was really out there.

But it's much too late to be judged, anymore,
I wish I was blindly,
I wish I was blindly,
I wish I was blindly,
Wish I was blindly,
I wish I was,
Wish I was blindly,
Wish I was blindly,
blindly loved,
blindly loved,
blindly loved,
I wish I was blindly loved.

Aloha lolita

They lie on the sofa,
He's got his hand inside her dress,
He says he adores her,
The word is she's crazy,
She likes the taste between her legs,
They say she's a goer,
The truth is it bores her,
She's bored, she's bored beyond belief,
There's nothing to do here,
She's been there,
She's done it,
She's seen it all,
It's taken place inside her head,
When no one can go there,
She's saving up for something,
She says she's up for sale.

Running in the shadows,
From the voices and the pain,
Nothing in the world is gonna save you,
Standing on the corner,
On the sidewalk,
On the game,
I can't ever reach you.

Aloha lolita I've got to have you, have you,
He wrote in his letter,
Another admirer who had his way, a way with words,
He sleeps with her picture,
She's saving up for something,
She says she's up for sale.

Running in the shadows,
From the voices and the pain,
Nothing in the world is gonna save you,
Standing on the corner,
On the sidewalk,
On the game,
I can't ever reach you,
Where would you go now?,
If I could take you with me,
Run from this world and find another,
Come run another with me.

On turn on

Boy I wanna know, you like a brother,
Boy I want the hole in you as well,
Boy you know you move, you're like no other,
Saving all that sweet ass for myself.

And it goes on and on, on and on,
All because of you,
And the reason's no reason,
It's in your lips, your legs, your body.

Boy you've got the source, you've got the answers,
Boy I wonder best who was well,
And it goes on and on, on and on,
All because of you,
And the reason's no reason,
It's in your shoes, your moves, your body.

All I want is all I see,
All I see is all I need,
All I need is all I have,
All I have is nothing.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo,
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.

And it goes on and on, on and on,
All because of you,
And the reason's no reason,
It's in your lips,
Your lips,
Your legs,
Your shoes,
Your moves,
Your arse,
Your suss,
Your body.

Here comes the scene

It's the time of the scene,
They radiate a different heat,
Till the last big flame is stamped upon,
Along comes another, along comes another.

All stand up now, here comes the scene,
All stand up now, here comes the scene.

It's the turn of the clowns,
Let's build it up and knock it back down,
We could tear it up and start it all over,
Let's prey upon another,
Let's pray upon another.

All stand up now, here comes the scene,
All stand up now, here comes the scene,
All take a bow,here comes the Queen,
All stand up now, here comes the scene.

Sober

Once in a while,
I'll be the figure on the sleeve, on the sleeve,
Is there anyone who understands me?,
Oh anyone anyone anyone more than you,
I've played blind men's games for a vision,
Just to see, just to see, just to see how low,
Would you like to see how low I go?,
Won't you see how low I go?.

Now that it's over I'm left on the floor,
Cold and I'm sober,
It is worse than before,
And I hate that I want you,
How could I know,
I still love.

Once in a while,
I'll be the joker on the scene, on the scene,
Is there anyone who cares to listen?,
Kill the tormentor in my dream,
We're out in the big wide world for a mission,
So why do I feel inside, empty and so small,
And I called to say,
Hello, hello, hello, hello, hello, hello.

Now that it's over I'm left on the floor,
Cold and I'm sober,
It is worse than before,
And I hate that I want you,
How could I know,
I still love.

Why do I, who do I, why do I love you?.

So la di da

Now if my eyes don't show you,
Cause they're fueled with fire,
And my pride, it builds a barrier,
As the flames are growing high,
And the future is a fugitive,
To my everyday desires,
And all I want is everything,
And more,
La di da di da di da di da da,
I'm so la di da.

I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
La di da di da da da,
La di da di da da da da.

Now if your charms don't hold me.

Your presence, it won't posses me,
You try so hard to tame me,
Control the one's we love,
Don't compare me to the others,
Your oh so perfect lovers,
They're so civilized civilized civilized,
They are morons,
La di da di da di da di da,
I'm so la di da.

I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth,
La di da di da da da,
La di da di da da da da.

La da la da la da...

I am the boldest,
I am the boldest don't you know,
I am the boldest,
I am the boldest of them all,
I am the boldest don't you know,
Don't you know.

Now if my eyes don't show you,
Cause they're fueled with fire,
And my pride, it builds a barrier,
As the flames grow,
La di da di da di da di da da,
I'm so la di da.

I close my eyes,
I shut my mouth.

Talent

See that boy,
He's got the song of the century,
He's got the face that was meant to be,
On the covers of lavishing height.

Watch that girl,
Moves like the vamp on the disco floor,
Curses the crap that has gone before,
Makes me happy,
Not very bright.

Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?,
Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?,
Any of none.

New turn,
Talent is all that we understand,
Gullible suits have the upper hand,
Are we laughing?,
Not very hard,
Sell your soul,
To papers I painted cold hand low,
Lied about crack in the pubs and so,
Are we crying?,
It's ever so sad.

Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?,
Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?,
Any offers? Any offers? Any resale?,
Any of none.

Venus wheel

When the city comes alive,
When the debonaire are like fire-flies,
See the social satire lives,
See them dance on their beauty at the wheel,
Wonder how it feels,
Wonder how it feels to be you.

Oh little venus,
Dressed up to tease us,
Locked in the room upstairs,
She's combing her hair,
Oh little venus,
Smells of the sweetest,
Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around,
Oh, oh.

In the honey-coated atmosphere,
Now it's new thighs, glam rides latest to gold,
With your hair and the sherbet dip that you taste,
Makes her lost in space,
Beauty at the wheel,
Wonder how it feels,
Wonder how it feels to be you.

Oh little venus,
Dressed up to tease us,
Locked in the room upstairs,
She's combing her hair,
Oh little venus,
Smells of the sweetest,
Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around.

Oh little venus,
Little little little little little venus,
Don't you know little venus,
Don't you know,
Don't you know.

Oh little venus,
Dressed up to tease us,
Locked in the room upstairs,
She's combing her hair,
Oh little venus,
Smells of the sweetest,
Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around.

Oh little venus,
Sweet little venus,
Dreams of his thunder thighs coming around.

Holding the wire

My very ordinary sanguinary thoughts
Make you feel insecure
I don't care any more
Did my opinions kill your reputation
Ripped your elegant plans
That's the way that i am
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely days

I just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your own

Running round in syharitic circles
But the ghosts in your path
They were there from the start
Wrapped around your need to feed your ego
Lost yourself in the race
And the hunger remains
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely days

I just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your own

You want it (you got it) X2
You want it (you take it)
Then you're sorry
You do it all again tomorrow
No one cares and no one follows

You want it (you got it) X2
You want it (you take it)
Then you're sorry
Swallowing the same excuses
Falling in the same holes
Darling, your lonely nights
Have turned into lonely days

I just wanna know
Are you scared of the real thing
Are you searching for sympathy
Walking a wire on your own
i just wanna know
Are you waiting for something
When your world is in darkness
When you're alone

Drive myself distracted

Like an ordinary, like an ordinary thought
That drifts into a naked eye
How extraordinary, things are happening
Can't stop myself, i'm sinking into broken ice
I've a head that burns
Can I hold my head up

There's a storm around me
Love its violence, a fever rush
A push, a shove inside
Do I wanna do what i do
I wanna loosen the noose
And take a tumble as i roll the dice
I've a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, because i can

And if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way i am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
That's just because I can
Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close
To knowing what I am

Are you turning corners, are you coming closer
Close enough to take you for a ride
Do you ever do what you fear
You ever lived for the thrill
Enough to fill you up inside
I've a head that burns
And I hold my head up high, bacause i can

And if I drive myself distracted
That is just the way i am
If it pleases me to waste may time
Then try to understand
If I lose myself in what I do
That's just because I can
Like a tidal wave, i'm coming close
To knowing what I am

Falling flame

As the rain pours down
Washes out my thoughts of you
And the hurling sound
It's wallows up your name
Iconoclast, the hidden past you left before you came
You charmed my darkest hour
It's close again and things are not the same

I remember you, you're the one who came
Crawling from the past, like a falling flame

Did you hold it down, or give yourself away
Did you hold it back, or open up the gates
To call a flood to sweep it up
Or drown it in the rain

I remember you, you're the one who came
Falling from the past, like a falling flame

I never chose to be this way, to be alone
There never was another choice, there never was

As the rain pours down
Washes out my thoughts of you
And the hurling sound
It's wallows up your name

I remember you, you're the one who came
Falling from the past, like a falling flame

I remember you, i remember you
Like a falling flame,like a falling flame
I remember you, I remember you...

I am awake

I’m the word nobody will say
I’m the wretch nobody can save
I’m the wild untouchable space
I’m the scream that cuts through this silence

It’s funny then, that i can hear symphonies

I am awake
I am wide awake
Now that i know
I won’t be lost again

I’m the core of the chaos you crave
I’m the flame that burns through your name

It’s cold outside, i am on fire again

I am awake
I am wide awake
Now that i know
I won’t be lost again

When i see red

Was it all vertical lines, only and ever known
Courting the horizon, sunbound,
Moored on a long road
When i see red i don’t know what it means

But i’ve done the time
So give it to me now, time on my mind
I’ve been living my life
Life
Here in my mind

More than less, more than i know
Ageless and ever near
I’m lining up layers, undiscovered
Feels like a rush to me, the kind i need
I don’t know why i don’t spit it out like i used to

Cos i’ve done the time
So give it to me now, time on my mind
I’ve been living my life
Life
Here in my mind
