HIDE
I FIND SANCTUARY IN NOTHING THAT IS GOOD FOR ME,
BLEED AROUND THE EDGES AND I BLUR AROUND THE PAST,
I HATE CONSCIOUSNESS, THIS CLARITY JUST STINGS,
I WAIT FOR LIMBO LIKE AN ANGEL WAITS FOR WINGS,
GOT TO HIDE, HIDE, HIDE
GOT TO HIDE.
I DON’T HAVE MEMORIES, MY MEMORIES HAVE ME,
COME UPON THE WORST OF THEM LIKE CORPSES IN THE MUD,
I WANT IMMUNITY AND I WANT AN ABSENT MIND,
I WANT A DARKNESS THAT DAYLIGHT CANNOT FIND.
GOT TO HIDE, HIDE, HIDE
GOT TO HIDE.
THERE IS A GAP INSIDE WHERE SOMEONE’S BEEN AND GONE,
THEY DID THINGS TO ME I CANNOT EVEN SAY,
I SEE PICTURES IN THE SHADOWS THAT THEY THREW,
ONE DAY I’LL FIND THEM AND I’LL BRING THEIR HEADS TO YOU.
GOT TO HIDE, HIDE, HIDE
GOT TO HIDE.

LET THEM GO

LET THEM GO
WE WERE SIAMESE TWINS, JOINED AT THE SOUL,
TWO FLAMES FROM THE SAME BURNING COAL,
TWO HALVES OF THE SAME DAMAGED WHOLE,
BUT YOU CAN’T HOLD ON TO SOMEONE IF YOU NEVER LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO…
WE LIVED FOREVER IN ONE TINY ROOM,
LISTENING TO THE RAIN AND THE POPULAR TUNES,
GAVE UP THE SUN FOR THE LIGHT OF THE MOON,
BUT YOU CAN’T HOLD ON TO SOMEONE IF YOU NEVER LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO…
WE WERE STUCK TOGETHER BY OUR OWN VOODOO PINS,
WE ATE UP HEAVEN THEN ALL OF THE SINS,
WE MOVED TOGETHER UNDER ONE SHINY SKIN,
BUT YOU CAN’T HOLD ON TO SOMEONE IF YOU NEVER LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO,
LET THEM GO…

STONED AGAIN (ORIGINAL 4 TRACK DEMO)
I WILL BE ALL THE THINGS I SAID BEFORE,
YOU AND ME, ROLLING UP THE OCEAN WALL,
AND DON’T YOU EVER WONDER,
WHAT TONIGHT COULD HAVE BEEN,
OH, BUT, WE’RE STONED AGAIN,
STONED AGAIN.
I CAN SEE YOU ARE OVER EIGHT MEN HIGH,
TIME TO LEAVE, FIX MYSELF AND SAY GOODNIGHT,
AND DON’T YOU EVER WONDER,
WHAT IT IS THAT WE DON’T FEEL,
OH, WHEN WE’RE STONED,
STONED AGAIN.
STONED AGAIN…

BRAND NEW LOVER (ORIGINAL DEMO)
I HEARD YOU MAKING LOVE,
THESE WALLS HAVE WORN TOO THIN,
I LAY THERE, I LAY THERE, STARING STRAIGHT ABOVE,
LISTENING TO YOU PLEASING HIM.
YOUR BRAND NEW LOVER’S HOME.
I WATCH YOU MAKING EYES,
I WATCH THE WAY THAT YOU REEL HIM IN,
I CAN FEEL, I CAN FEEL YOUR NEED INSIDE,
WATCHING YOU WATCHING HIM.
YOUR BRAND NEW LOVER’S HOME.
I CATCH YOU ON THE STAIRS,
I WATCH YOUR FINGERS SLIP FROM HIS,
I CAN SEE YOU, I CAN SEE YOU EVERYWHERE THAT I LOOK,
IN EVERY SIGH, IN EVERY KISS,
YOUR BRAND NEW LOVER’S HOME.
GO TO HIM,
GO TO HIM,
HE’S WELCOME TO YOU….

LIKE MARILYN (1994 DEMO)
SHE SKIRTS THE ROOM AND TALKS IN WHISPERS,
AFRAID THE WALLS WILL STEAL HER VOICE,
SHE’LL PHONE YOU UP TO CHECK YOU’VE MISSED HER,
AS IF YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD A CHOICE.
AND LIKE MARILYN…
SHE CAN TREAT YOU LIKE A STRANGER,
SHE CAN BEND YOU TO HER WILL,
AND SHE WILL LEAD YOU INTO DANGER,
OR SHE WILL LEAVE YOU STANDING STILL
AND LIKE MARILYN…
SHE TURNS QUICKER THAN THE WEATHER,
SOMETIMES IMPOSSIBLE TO HOLD,
BUT SHE WILL NEVER WANT FOR SHELTER,
FOR YOU WILL FOLLOW HER LIKE GOLD.
AND LIKE MARILYN…

INVERTEBRATE
ALL YOUR DREAMS ARE GONE,
BECAUSE YOU HAVE NO FAITH,
YOU STUTTER AROUND IN THE DARK,
A PALE INVERTEBRATE,
AND I GAVE YOU ALL MY TRUST,
YOU PAID ME BACK IN KIND,
AND I GUESS YOU GOT WHAT YOU WANT,
FIVE TIMES NINE TO FIVE;
OH, GET A SPINE,
GET A SPINE,
I’D LEND YOU MINE BUT I NEED IT…
THE FEAR IN YOUR HEAD,
IT SHACKLES LIBERTY,
AND THE MONEY THAT YOU ADORE,
WILL NEVER MAKE YOU HAPPY,
AND YOUR MIND’S BECOME A VICE,
JUST CRUSHING ALL THE TIME,
BUT WHAT’S THE POINT OF LIFE,
IF PASSION IS A CRIME;
OH, GET A SPINE,
GET A SPINE,
I’D LEND YOU MINE BUT I NEED IT…
I NEED MY SPINE TO BEAT THE SWINE LIKE YOU…

WHY IS THAT?
03:38
|

|
WHY IS THAT?
I DON’T LIKE IT WHEN I DRIFT IN YOUR DIRECTION,
NOT BECAUSE YOU DON’T GIVE ME AN ERECTION,
I’M JUST LOOKING FOR SOME KIND OF IMPERFECTION,
TO COUNTERACT THE UGLINESS OF HUMAN INTERACTION.
AND WHY IS THAT?
OH I WANT TO BE THE CENTRE OF ATTENTION,
I WANT OCEANIC TIDES OF ADORATION,
I NEED CONSTANT AFFECTION,
THAT’S THE ONLY WAY I CAN GET SATISFACTION.
AND WHY IS THAT?
I SEEMED GRIPPED BY SOME TERRIBLE AFFLICTION,
SAPS MY STRENGTH AND GIVES ME PALPITATIONS,
WHAT I NEED IS FEMALE INSPIRATION,
LOVE HAS ALWAYS BEEN TO ME THE MOTHER OF INVENTION.
AND WHY IS THAT?
WHY IS THAT?
WHY IS THAT?
OH I NEED IT,
I DON’T WANT TO SEE IT,
THEN I’M GOING TO EAT IT,
OH YEAH…
AND WHY IS THAT?

WHAT AM I WITHOUT HER
02:56

WHAT AM I WITHOUT HER
THE BARGAIN CLOTHES,
THE FAKE FUR COAT,
A LETTER ON THE TABLE READS SENTIMENTAL RUBBISH LIKE A LOVE SONG;
TO AN ORDINARY MAN,
HER DELICATE HANDS,
SEEM TO NEED PROTECTION FROM THE DAMAGE AND OPPRESSION OF A WORLD GONE WRONG,
ON AND ON,
LEAVE THE PHONE,
I ASK MYSELF,
WHAT AM I WITHOUT HER?
THE CRIMSON ROSE,
THE BOOK SHE CHOSE,
WRITTEN IN THE COVER ‘TO MY ONE AND ONLY LOVER’ IN A HAND SO STRONG;
THE CRYPTIC NOTES,
THE THINGS SHE WROTE,
AND THERE’S A PICTURE OF HER SOMEWHERE IN A DRAWER IN THE KITCHEN WITH HER HAIR STILL LONG;
ON AND ON,
LEAVE THE PHONE,
I ASK MYSELF,
WHAT AM I WITHOUT HER?
