- 1939 returning
Captured clandestine
Crawled into the lights
He knew he was in for a shoeing
Just wasn't to be his night
Dragged out of the frozen Rhine
For the Motherland and the Third Reich
A toeing's as good as a shoeing
- A Little Death Around The Eyes
A little death around the eyes
Your boyfriend's name was Dave
I was bold and brave
And now you're mine
You cook and clean and sew
When I tell you to, when I ask you to,
If I ask you to,
- Beg, steal and borrow
Why should I wait until tomorrow?
I've already been
I've already seen
All the sorrow that's in store
But if I beg steal or borrow
Just to hold on tighter
To all the sorrow
- Beg, Steal Or Borrow
Why should I wait until tomorrow?
I've already been
I've already seen
All the sorrow that's in store
But if I beg steal or borrow
Just to hold on tighter
To all the sorrow
- beg,steal and borrow
Why should I wait until tomorrow
It's already been, I've already seen all the sorrow that's in store
I will beg or steal or borrow
Hold on tighter to all that sorrow tries to choir
Oh and if I change my tune
Maybe I won't be bound to do
And I won't be bound to do
- Broken love song
Take a broken love song
Keep it by your side
Never be lonely
Find a place to hide
By the west way
Inside the scrubs
How long must we wait?
- conversation diva
I tell you a story, but you won't listen
It's about a nightmare steeped in tradition
It's the story of a coked-up pansy
Who spent his nights in flights of fancy
Met two fellas over gin and mixes
They talked for a while and soon got the picture
One was a soaped-up soho mincer
The other was a pikey with a knowledge of scriptures
- Fuck Forever
Its one and the same, one and the same oh,
So whats the use between death and glory?
I cant tell between death and glory?
Happy endings, no, they never bored me
Happy endings, they still don't bore me
But they, they have a way
They have a way to make you pay
And to make you toe the line
- He Will Fall
We've been running round this world too much, girl
Trying not to see
But no freer then, we can see again
Now the old corruption packed its ransom sack
Buttoned his dirty Mac
He won't be coming back with us,
He won't be welcomed back
- Hired Gun

A high rider way beneath the sun

- I Am The Rain
I am the rain
Held in disdain
Lotions and potions just add to my fame
The rime that in Spain
Fall on the plain
The truth is I'm ruthless
I can't be contained.
- I Wish
I sit alone 'most every night I watch those trains roll on by, out of sight
I know it's not the same old story, it's new to me
I'd say so it's the not only way to be
Work in town and nothing for free
Nothing left in this place for likes of me
I wish to God I just wish that I
Got no money in my pockets you see
- lady don't fall backwards
Once upon a time
When the cold wind that blows
When the cold wind that blows in my heart
It was a summer breeze and she
Would meet me in Chinatown for opium and tea
And she always brought me flowers
But I spared you those old ballads
Or songs that I couldn't play
- Last Of The English Roses
My you did look dapper in your mother's
Old green scarf
With your famous Auntie Arthur’s trousers on
You were slapped by that slapper
And how we all laughed
But you laughed the loudest
In ‘93...you could charm the bees knees of the bees
- Music When The Lights Go Out
Is it cruel or kind not to speak my mind,
and to lie to you rather than hurt you?
Well I'll confess all of of my sins
after several large gins
but still I'll hide from you,
hide what's inside from you.
And alarm bells ring
- New Love Grows On Trees
Are you still talking to
All of those dead film stars
Like you used to
And are you still thinking of
All of those pretty rhymes
And perfect crimes
Like you used to..
- Salome
In the cold, coldest of nights
The fire I light, to warm my bones
Oh, I had enough, of the dreadful cold
And from the flames appears Salome
I stand before her amazed
As she dances and demands
The head of John the Baptist on a plate
- The Ballad Of Grimaldi
While there's still a fighting chance
Can't you just get up and go
And get away from this hollow romance
It's slowly binding us both
Because you tell me what you want and I'll avoid it
Tell it to the sick and to the damned
Show me what you love, watch me destroy it
For your love just crumbles in my hands
- The Last Of The English Roses

- Through The Looking Glass
Can you hear over the buzz of flies
Between the pillows and the skies
That beg into your eyes
Through the looking glass
In between your thighs
A talking cat’s no great surprise
As we go straight down the rabbit hole
There we go
- Un Bilo Titled
He's stronger than the walls
You tried to build around him
To dumb and dumbfound him
For two thousand years I waited for your call
Screaming from the windows
Screaming bloody murder
The more that you follow me
