HOWLING
THE ELEMENTS WERE HOWLING
MOSES ON THE MOUNTAIN SLEPT
HE HADN'T GOT THE MESSAGE YET
AND I DIDN'T WANT TO BE THE ONE TO WAKE HIM UP
SO FATTEN UP THE SACRED COWS
LETS GET THE BUTCHERS TO DO THEIR STUFF
SO SHARPEN UP THE FORKS AND KNIVES
GET READY FOR THE SACRIFICE.

I WANT THE GODLESS GIFT OF PARADISE,
I WANT TO FEEL YOU DEEP INSIDE.
WILD AND WEIRDLY THE BLACK CAT'S MOAN
GIVE ME THE VOODOO THAT I WANT.

ME.......I WANT TO GO HOWLING, HOWLING AT THE MOON
I WANT TO GO PROWLING WHERE 1 DON'T BELONG.

BECAUSE I'VE GOT MY EYES ON YOU
AND I KNOW THAT YOU WANT ME TOO
YOU MAKE ME FEEL ALRIGHT
GOING TO KEEP IT UP All NIGHT.
CINDERELLA IN THE WHOREHOUSE WEPT
NEXT TO THE BED IN WHICH I SLEPT
I SLIPPED IT OUT AT QUARTER PAST TWELVE
SHE HAD TO LEAVE SHE COULDN'T HELP HERSELF
JUST LIKE ME SHE HAD TO GO HOWLING etc...

SHADOWS

THE BOMB HAS DROPPED, IT'S METAL TOUCH
SMASHES THROUGH THE SENSES
GOD APPEARS THEN DISAPPEARS
HE'S NERVOUS AND DEFENSIVE
HIS LOVING CUP HAS BEEN FUCKED UP
IT'S SMASHED AND BROKEN ON THE FLOOR
A MONGEL HORDE CRASH THROUGH HE DOOR
TO ADD TO THE CONFUSION.
TODAY I'M LOST I DRIFT ACROSS
THE FIELDS OF IMAGINATION
SUBJECT TO A POINT OF VIEW
DARK AND PESSIMISTIC
FROM BAD TO WORSE IT'S LIKE A CURSE
SOMETHINGS GONE WRONG WITH THE MASTER PLAN
AND LOOKING BACK I CAN SEE THE CRACK
THROUGH WHICH I HAVE FALLEN.
OH WELL IT DOESN'T MATTER
IT'S ONLY CHANGES
CHANGES AREN'TALWAYS DANGEROUS
THEY'RE JUST CONTAGIOUS.
I'M DOING TIME IN THE SHADOWS
AND I'M FEELING FINE IT DOESN'T MATFER
BECAUSE INTELLIGENCE IS OUT OF LUCK
I BETTER FIND MYSELF ANOTHER LOOK
YOU COULD HAVE READ ME LIKE AN OPEN BOOK
BUT SOMETHING TELLS ME YOU WON'T EVEN LOOK.
THE CARNIVAL WAS YESTERDAY
I SEE THE CLOWNS REJECTED,
PERFORMING TRICKS OUT ON THE STREET
I PAINT MY FACE AND JOIN THE LINE
THE RIOT SQUAD IS STANDING BY
AND NO ONE IS ESCAPING
MY HANDS ARE TIED MY MIND IS NUMB
IT'S BEATEN AND DEFENCELESS
RPT CHORUS...

SOMETHING SOMEWHERE SOMETIME

I'D BEEN WAITING All THE MORNING SLOWLY DOING TIME I WAS FEELING FINE
SITTING OUT ON THE VERANDAH I TOOK SOME WINE TO TURN MY MIND FROM YOU
AND THAT IT DID DO
SHE WAS THERE BUT UNDISCOVERED
CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS 1 WAS SOON TO BE
BUT SPANISH QUEENS LIKE THEIR POSSESSIONS SO THE TREASURE IT WAS LOST TO ME C'EST LA VIE
CH ... I'M STILL WAITING I'M STILL SEARCHING
I STILL BELIEVE IN SOMETHING SOMEWHERE SOMETIME.
I AM READY WILLING AND ABLE
TO BELIEVE IN SOMETHING SOMEWHERE
SOMETIMELATER ON IN THE ILLUSION OF CONQUERING MY OWN CONFUSION SMASHING AWAY IN THE DARKNESS WITH NO IDEA JUST WHAT IT All MEANS WAS IT UNREAL AND HOW DID YOU FEEL
WHAT DID I STEAL EXCEPT MY OWN IDEALS.
Chorus etc etc

SOMETHING WICKED

HEY MA WHY CAN'T I BELIEVE ANYMORE
AND MA WHY MUST I STUMBLE AND FALL IN THE NIGHT
CAN YOU TELL ME WHAT'S WRONG AND WHAT'S RIGHT.
YEAH MAN YESTERDAY I WAS A KING YEAH MAN I COULD DO ANYTHING THAT I WANTED
THE WORLD WAS MINE
IT WAS ALRIGHT.
BUT NOW EVERYTHING I SEE IS WRONG
AND I DON'T KNOW WHY LOVE IS DEFEATED
AND THE WORLD IS GREY
WHAT DOES IT TAKE TO BE STRONG ANYWAY
WHO CAN I TURN TO
WHAT CAN I SAY
IF I THOUGHT I'D BE ANSWERED
THEN I WOULD PRAY.
BUT SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES, AND I CAN'T BREAK THIS SPELL I'M UNDER
SOMETHING WICKED THIS WAY COMES

ONLY STONE

WHEN YOU CEASE TO BELIEVE IN MIRACLES THAT'S WHEN YOU FIND THAT YOU NEED ONE LYING PROSTRATE BEFORE THE SHRINE ASS IN THE AIR AND TEARS FALLING DOWN. AND IT'S ONLY STONE, BUT IT'S SO COLD.
GOT DRESSED IN BLACK STARTED SINGING BAD
CONFUSING AND AMUSING A JUNKIE ACROBAT
WHEN THE MIRROR CRACKED
EVERYBODY CLAPPED
I JOINED THE PROCESSION I'M NOT COMING BACK
& IT'S ONLY STONE BUT IT'S SO COLD
FELL INTO THE TRAP DIDN'T SEE THE CATCH
BEFORE I FELT THE WHIP FALL ACROSS MY BACK
MIGHT AS WELL GET STONED RUN AWAY FROM HOME
I'LL SEE YOU LATER IN THETWILIGHT ZONE
AND IT'S ONLY STONE BUT IT'S SO COLD

BLACK IS THE COLOUR OF MY MOOD TONIGHT
MORBID FASCINATION HOLDS YOU TO ME IN THE MOONLIGHT..........
IN A TWILIGHT WORLD I HEAR A SAVAGE CALL
MANIC DRUMBEATS ECHO ACROSS THE HALL
THE JOKER IS WILD TOGETHER WE DANCE FORTIFY ME FOR THIS ROMANCE
AND IT'S ONLY STONE BUT IT'S SO COLD

GOOD FRIDAY

GOOD FRIDAY LATE IN THE AFTERNOON
AND I WONDER WHAT TIME OF DAY
RUMOUR HAS IT HE DRAGGED HIS CROSS THROUGH THE STREET
EYES ROLLING UP THROUGH
THORNS AND BLOOD
NOW I RAISE MY HEAD AND 1 BEG FOR FORGIVENESS
AS I POUR ANOTHER GLASS OF RED
AND YOU HAVE BEEN GONE
EXACTLY ONE DAY SHORT OF EXACTLY ONE WEEK
ON GOOD FRIDAY
AND I CAN FEEL IT,
I CAN FEEL IT IN THE AIR
I CAN MOVE IT
BETWEEN MY FINGERS
I CAN WAVE IT
WAVE IT LIKE WATER
AND I CAN SEE IT
IN THE LATE AFTERNOON,
ON GOOD FRIDAY.
AND MY EYES LOOK UP SEARCHING
AND MY EARS WILL BLEED FROM LISTENING
FROM YOU I'M ASKING FORGIVENESS ON GOOD FRIDAY.
.CH et(...

BLOWN AWAY

I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AT THE USUAL TIME
I COULD HAVE SWORN THERE WERE TEARS IN MY EYES
I ROLLED OUT OF BED
I REARRANGED MY HEAD
IT DON'T SEEM TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE ANYHOW
BUT TODAY, I'LL TRY TO DRAG MYSELF UPRIGHT
I PUT ON MY SHOES AND WALK TO THE DOOR
BUT BEFORE I GET OUTSIDE
CH...
All MY WORDS GET BLOWN AWAY
YEAH All MY WORDS GET BLOWN AWAY!!!
LATELY I'VE FOUND I'VE TAKEN TO WALKING AROUND
WITH A PERMANENT CLOUD HANGING OVER ME
I GOT LOST ON THE BACKROADS
BEEN MAKING THE WRONG TURNS I'VE BEEN FOOLING MYSELF BY DEGREES
I'VE BEEN DRINKING A BITTER WINE BEEN SLIPPING DOWN MOUNTAINS
I'VE FALLEN UNDER A CURSE
AND SOMETIMES I RISE IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT I SCREAM BUT NOTHING GETS HEARD
CH etc...

OF THE THREE KINDS OF LUCK I COULD HAVE WRITTEN THE BOOK
AND BLED BETWEEN EVERY LINE
EVERY WORD FROM EVERY DOOMED POEM DOESN'T FEEL LIKE MUCH USE TO ME NOW
AND TOO LATE SHE CRIES I CAN'T WAIT FOREVER I MUMBLE AN ANSWER I LISTEN FOR THE CRASH OF THE STORM FROM THE OTHER SIDE
CH etc...

LAST AND LAUGHING MILE

THE KING HAS LOST HIS HEAD TODAY THEY'VE GIVEN THE SLAVES A HOLIDAY
I'LL TAKE MINE
I'll TAKE MY CHAINS AND WALK ALONG THE LAST AND LAUGHING MILE
CRACKED IS THE MIRROR IN THE GLOOM I CAN'T SEETHE REFLECTIONS ANYMORE ALL THOUGHTS ABSURD I HAVE ONLY WORDS
TO GIVE YOU ON THE LAST AND LAUGHING MILE

THERE ARE NO TREASURES I CAN POSSESS LIKE DREAMS OF GOLD THEY'RE MEANINGLESS
COLD ARE THE VISIONS HAUNTING ME
MADNESS IS WAITING AT THE DOOR
THEN YOU AND I SIDE BY SIDE
CAN WALK ALONG THE LAST AND LAUGHING MILE.

YOU KNOW I KNOW

IT'S SO OBSCENE AND IT'S A FACT
I'M SO SERENE I THOUGHT I'D CRACK
ANOTHER DOSE AND THEN 1 MIGHT
NOT HAVE TO SAY WHAT'S ON MY MIND

I'M MUCH TOO DUMB TO BE DEBONAIR
I LOCKED MY SOUL IN THE FRIGIDAIRE
YOU CAN TAKE IT OUT NEXT TIME YOU'RE THERE
ITS LIKE MY CLOTHES DISPOSABLE
CH etcetc...
THE PARTY IS OVER BEFORE IT'S BEGUN WAS I THE ONLY ONE HAVING FUN
CONFUSED BY ABUSE OF ECSTACY MY BODY PLEADS FOR ME TO LEAVE.

I'M SINKING IN THE QUICKSAND OF OF THE GIFTS YOU'VE GIVEN ME PREPARED TO SINK,
I SWIM, I FLOAT, I RISE EVENTUALLY

BEFORE I TAKE ANOTHER BREATH
YOU'VE GONE AND BOUGHT ANOTHER DRESS
ADJUST MY EYES TO AVOID MISTAKES
YOU'VE GONE AND BOUGHT
ANOTHER FACE.

ONLY DREAMING

I WAS BUSTED COVERED IN RUST
THROWN INTO THE BACK OF A TRUCK GOING NOWHERE.
1 MISSED MASS I WAS RUNNING TOO FAST FELL TO MY KNEES
BUT I DIDN'T DRAW BLOOD THAT'S A GOOD THING.
THEN PASSING TIME WITH THE STRANGEST OF MINDS
BEYOND THE PALE WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE
I TOOK A DRINK FOR WANT OF SOMETHING
BETTER THEN RAN BACK TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE.
CHRIST I WAS ONLY DREAMING,
IT'S NOT LIFE I WAS ONLY DREAMING.......
I DREW MY HAND ACROSS THE FLAME
STOMPED THROUGH THE HOUSE LIKE A KNIGHT AVENGING
CALIGULA WAS STANDING BY TO COMPENSATE
FOR THE BOREDOM FACTOR
SOMETIMES IN BLISS, THAT HOLY MESS THE MINDLESSNESS
STARING AT THE BRAIN DEAD
FEATURES OF OF YOU AND 1 IN A CARTOON LOVE.
LOOKING AT MYSELF IN THAT LIGHT
SOMETHING MORE THAN LOVE IS LOST

AND CHRIST etc etc...
WHO KNOWS WHY AND WHO KNOWS WHEN AND WHO KNOWS THE REASON'S WHY WE STILL PRETEND.
THAT, IT'S ALRIGHT THROUGH THE LONELY NIGHTS,
OR ARE WE ONLY DREAMING.

IT WAS A BEAUTIFUL BUST
IT WAS COVERED IN DUST
LYING IN THE BACK OF A RUSTIC MANOR
THE GHOSTS LAY UNDISTURBED OBLIVIOUS TO All THAT PASSES
SO, STILL SPENDING TIME WITH THE STRANGESTOF MINDS
BEYOND THE PALE WHERE THE SUN DON'T SHINE
I TAKE A DRINK FOR WANT OF SOMETHING BETTER
THEN RUN BACK TO THE TWILIGHT ZONE.

SECOND COMING

EVERYONE WAS WAITING FOR THE SALVATION SINGERS
NO ONE WAS WAITING FOR ME.
I LOST MY INVITATION TO THE SECOND COMING
SO I SABOTAGED THEIR LIMOUSINE.
I TRIED CHANGING PLACES WITH EVERYBODY
THAT I KNOW
BUT EVERYONE WAS OUT OF TOWN SO HOW WAS I TO KNOW
AND TIME GOES FLYING BY AND 1 DON'T MIND.
THEY WERE WAITING FOR ME ON THE CORNER LAST SUNDAY.
I HID BEHIND A MAGAZINE.
THEY'D GOT THEIR DIRECTIONS FROM A MINOR INDESCRETION
I WASN' TOO HARD TO FIND.
I TRIED TALKING MY WAY OUT BUT NO ONE
WOULD LET ME IN.
NOW I KNOW WHAT THEY WERE LOOKING FOR
THEY THOUGHT THAT I WAS HIM.
AND TIME GOES FLYING BY
& I DON'T MIND.
... THEY SAY LOVE'S A BEAUTIFUL THING
THEY SAY IT CAN MAKE THE HEART SING
WELL I'VE BEEN THERE ONE OR TWO TIMES
MAYBE I'LL GET BACK SOMETIME.

AT THE WHEEL OF THE HEARSE SAT MY SOLE RECOLLECTION
SHE WAS LOOKING SERENE
SHE'D OVERSTAYED HER WELCOME ON THE ROAD TO OBLIVION, THEN COULDN'T GET IN.
WE TALKED IT OVER AND I THOUGHT WE'D REACHED AN UNDERSTANDING BUT REALLY All WE HAD WAS A LACK OF EXPECTATIONS
AND TIME STILL FLYING BY, AND I DON'T MIND.

ALL FOR NOTHING

WELL YOU GOT ME
AND I'M WONDERING
ENDLESS CRYING
OVER NOTHING
AND YOU,
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO
YOU KNOW YOU LIED TO ME TOO
AND IT WAS All FOR NOTHING.
WHAT WERE YOU SAYING
I WAS FLOATING
I WAS DYING
SEEMS LIKE FOR NOTHING AND YOU etc...

RELEASE ME FROM THE CHAINS
THAT HOLD ME
IN THIS PLACE I NEVER WANT TO BE AGAIN
OH LOVE LOST IN VAIN

IN THE EMOTION
I WAS FALLING
ALWAYS DOWNWARDS
YOU WERE CALLING.
AND YOU etc etc...
