Someone's On The Telephone For You

what's he got?

dont get to thinking
just dont do it
this thinking will
be the end of you

true love waits


And true love waits
In haunted attics
And true love lives
On lollipops and crisps

Just don't leave
Don't leave

toward a better computer world

in darkness
waste expelled
thirst quenched
I SAY
somethin awkward
i want you away
a treat
what a delight
BUT YOU"RE BORING
and im tired of trying.

TRIPE
you perfect.
I'm working,
unaccompanied
and silent.

DIAL ONE.
I CAN SEE IT TURNING.
IN DARKNESS,
IT'S GETTING BORING.

you were the sign
without a warning.
in the darkness,
it's getting boring.

(linguistic. so beautiful. dog eyes, with no person inside.)

killing time/selling time


over there,
we'll take you there
selling time
we're just killing time

got to smile
when i say
it's everything you'll want
you gonna pay

we're killing time
ticking them by
living your dream
and passing by

look in the eye
yeah got my laugh on
got my leather case
got my web presence.
got your false pretence
yeah it's all wrapped up

we're selling time
and snorting lines
telephone voice
shoe shine

we got the script
you'll pay for it
the perseverance
you will need us

look in the eye
got them all paranoid
got my million connections
got an intimate moment

over there,
we'll take you there
selling time
we're just killing time

Being entirely honest with oneself is a good exercise..

exhaust
Do the next
and plan the next
laugh
WAKE UP

Yes


You can buy her, you can buy her
This one's here, this one's here, this one's here and this one's here
Ev'rything's for sale

For sale? dumb cunt's same dumb questions
Oh virgins? listen, all virgins are liars honey
And I don't know what I'm scared of or what I even enjoy
Dulling, get money, but nothing turns out like you want it to

And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything
For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video
He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock
Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want

I eat and I dress and I wash and I still can say thank you
Puking - shaking - sinking I still stand for old ladies
Can't shout, can't scream, hurt myself to get pain out

I 'T' them, 24:7, all year long
Purgatory's circle, drowning here, someone will always say yes
Funny place for the social, for the insects to start caring
Just an ambulance at the bottom of a cliff

In these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything
For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video
He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock
Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want, if you want

I eat and I dress and I wash and I can still say thank you
Puking - shaking - sinking I still stand for old ladies
Can't shout, can't scream, I hurt myself to get pain out

Power produces desire, the weak have none
There's no lust in this coma even for a fifty
Solitude, solitude, the 11th commandment

The only certain thing that is left about me
There is no part of my body that has not been used
Pity or pain, to show displeasure's shame
Everyone I've loved or hated always seems to leave

And in these plagued streets of pity you can buy anything
For $200 anyone can conceive a God on video
He's a boy, you want a girl so tear off his cock
Tie his hair in bunches, fuck him, call him Rita if you want, if you want

Power produces desire, the weak have none
There's no lust in this coma even for a fifty
Solitude, solitude, the 11th commandment

Don't hurt, just obey, lie down, do as they say
May as well be heaven this hell, smells the same
These sunless afternoons I can't find myself

Two dollars you rub her tits
Three dollars you rub her ass
Five dollars you can play with her pussy
Or you can lick her tits
Choice is yours

more give me more




worn out, via mexicans
with the unreasoning verse
the voice got louder, on purpose
the look was softer
and then silence all round.

everyone else has gone home.
aint got much time to waste.
the doors are closed, we drink alone.
hide away, dont want them to say
i was wrong

superstar

loneliness, is such a sad affair
and I can hardly wait
to be with you again
what to say
to make you come again
come back to me again
and play your sad guitar

you would have made a great TV presenter



oh gentle, stroke. a blinding thought provoke. tell me it's on.
i missed you. i thought only of you. sipped out over blooming cauliflowers, huge moon loomed. the women are fertile now, you see. rhythm made, helpless shake, get there but you almost got everywhere - tell the shepherd to lead them safely away. me, not so lame, although you'd like to see a worse off day, a failing woman-child - perhaps? hmmm. sorry man, i aint all that bad. infact i wrote two of them myself.
i ran high up to the top, and i rained all over the gleaming city. to my delight. i felt you.

And I've been drinking from a broken cup

Instead of trying to build the songs, make yourself into a person that attracts songs.

your alarm bells should be ringing


beginning on air, deciding to be led...seemingly swimming on a marble bed. a breach of contract, a death of sorts... a sulking being who could be forced >>>>>>>>>
to win the game (WINNER). but im tired of the game. (LOSER)

i am proud.
silently,
you have shame.
silently
we are the same

mr self destruct


I am the voice inside your head
and I control you
I am the lover in your bed
and I control you
I am the sex that you provide
and I control you
I am the hate you try to hide
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct
I speak religion's message clear
and I control you
I am denial guilt and fear
and I control you
I am the prayers of the naive
and I control you
I am the lie that you believe
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct
I am the needle in your vein
and I control you
I am the high you can't sustain
and I control you
I am the pusher I'm a whore
and I control you
I am the need you have for more
and I control you
I am the bullet in the gun
and I control you
I am the truth from which you run
and I control you
I am the silencing machine
and I control you
I am the end of all your dreams
and I control you
I take you where you want to go
I give you all you need to know
I drag you down I use you up
Mr. Self-destruct

remember all night long
i said i loved the song
you never did me wrong.

i told you, darling

i am telling you, its coming
i see the water, waiting
I, no longer contemplating.

daddy


You do not do, you do not do
Any more, black shoe
In which I have lived like a foot
For thirty years, poor and white,
Barely daring to breathe or Achoo.
