every time

Yo ho ho here we go
Little fingers waggin' the breeze
Pushing me to dance good deeds
But every time I try to do the right thing
I fuck shit up
Every time I try to say I'm sorry
I fuck it up
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Every time I try not to love you I fuck that up too
Every time I try not to try again I fuck that up too
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Watch me build a bridge of burning wood
Just because you think I probably should
Every time I try to clean myself up I end up a mess
Every time I try to keep my clothes on I end up undressed
Every time, every time, every time, every time
Watch me build build a bridge of burning wood
Just because you think I probably should
Would that be good, if I could ?
Watch me burn a bridge of burning wood
Petty devil counting them worry beads
Petty devil shaking them bones
Petty devil how long must you torture me
Petty devil need some time on my own

the idea is to lose
03:48
|

The objective's very simple
The idea is to lose
When you've lost it all we're
gonna lend it back to you
'til the only thing you own is
all the things you owe
Now you've got the freedom
to do as you're told
It's how we get sold
It's how we got sold
It's how you get sold
It's how you got sold
Put your feet up in surrender
there's too much to overcome
And any good you do will
pretty soon become undone
We got all the hope you want
we sell it by the pound
Cos hope is what you reach
for when there's nothing else around
It's how we get sold
It's how we got sold
It's how you get sold
It's how you got sold
The only way to win is to
refuse to play the game
Refuse to take the credit and
refuse to bear the blame
We rely on your compliance
your desires make our
chains
Cos any way you cut it this
deal remains the same
It's time to get bold
It's time we got bold
It's time to get bold
It's time you got bold
It's time to get bold
It's time we got bold
It's time to get bold
It's time,
time to refuse to lose
It's time,
time to refuse to lose
Refuse to lose
It's time
Time to refuse to lose

deliver us

Everything's gonna be ok
Cos my man delivers
Everything's gonna be ok
Everything's gonna be ok
Cos my man delivers
Everything's gonna be ok
And we don't even have to move
Just sit and chill
Wait for things to improve
He'll soon come knocking at my door
And we'll get high We'll get high
And we'll get high We'll get high
We could think of all the things that we want to do
We could do all the things that we need to do
to get us through the day
Hey hey
Everything's gonna be ok
Everything's gonna be ok
Time is movin' kinda slow today
The man has got his calls to pay
Just like any other day
The weight is so heavy
Here he is
He's brought the good times 'round
With eyes so red that he could paint a town
But now we're gonna burn one down
So hold your fire steady
We'll get high, We'll get high
We'll get high, We'll get high
We don't even have to move

tailor-made for trouble

She got jeans(genes) tailor-made for trouble
Stealin' skin-tight scenes
All the takes are gettin' doubled
She's on high beam
Scannin' night-time rubble
She digs up dreams
Like a hot steam-shovel
Like a hot steam-shovel
She got needs
And she want em on the double
She got deeds and they're
none too subtle
Her white-hot heat
Make an iron will buckle
She got means
Like a high-speed shuttle
Like a high-speed shuttle
Well you can feel it gettin' late
All the coffers are empty
You can hear her crying poor
But you know she's got plenty
She could draw blood
From those rolling-stone clones
Even if they think they're
happy on their own
But she dont want blood
She want precious metal
She'll keep on digging
The dust never settles
The stakes get high
Now she's caught my eye
But there's no gold left
In this heart of mine
She got moves
Like a diamond cutter
She got groove
But she keeps it under cover
Her golden seams
Make you st-st-st-st-stutter
Her precious heart
Got a high speed shutter

Hide with you tonight
And feel your smile
Cos I want to
Watch
The moon get high
In your hazy eye
That para-lune
I'll hold you home
Cos in my mind
Tonight
You are still alright
We'll hide
The moon inside your eye
That moment time won't find us
Defying heaven
With you
And this time you won't
Walk towards the light
Cos I'll be by your side holding tight
We won't let ghosts decide
Our fate tonight
I'm low but how can I let go
Just let those heavens know
I need to see you
Tonight
If I can't see your eyes
We'll raise the siren high
Its an emergency

D'Aubergine where you been?
Are the desert burrs the best
you've ever seen
D'Aubergine?
D'Aubergine where you been?
Is the setting sun the best it's
ever been,
D'Aubergine?
D'Aubergine where you been?
Sun has fallen and it's time to kill
the King D'Aubergine
D'Aubergine there's always
murder in the making of a queen
D'Aubergine
Come on D'Aubergine there's no
time left to keep
The King is in his chamber and
the guards are half asleep
My D'Aubergine, My D'Aubergine
D'Aubergine how you been?
Has the crown drowned out the
chorus of your dreams troubled
queen?
D'Aubergine troubled queen
Have the storm clouds overcome
the majesty D'Aubergine
Troubled queen
D'Aubergine
D'Aubergine there's always
murder in the making of a queen
D'Aubergine
Come on D'Aubergine
Now death is off his leash
Courage is no stranger when the
Gods are all asleep
Let's skip the scene
My D'Aubergine
D'Aubergine my velveteen,
Is it to be or not to be seen?
Troubled queen of final scenes
Is it to be or not to be free
Velvet queen, this strange
machine
Made to play along as written
Not to dream
My D'Aubergine there's murder in
the making of a queen
There's murder in the making of
the free
There's murder in the making of
a queen
There's murder in the making of
a freak
Come on D'Aubergine it's time to
leave this scene
My D'Aubergine,
My D'Aubergine

maybe just because
04:22
|

Lately I been feelin down
Maybe there's a reason
Maybe just because
Maybe it's just fantasy
To act as though that reason never was
A little jab, a little dig, a little pain
You know the way it starts
Daily scenes of anomie
And nightly beats a holographic heart
Tell me how can I refrain
From this chorus inside my brain
It's not you that's mad they sing
It's the world that's clearly insane
White vicious noise hits overdrive
Got my secret stash
I've got my bag of pills
Never had a love for discipline
And I know I never will
A little taste, a little toke, the missing time
You know the way it goes
Just enough to take the edges off
Enough to push this rock up on my own
Will this song remain in vain?
And this music that's driving me sane
I'm not the one who bears the blame
It's the world that made me this way
SOLO
Tell me how can I refrain
From this chorus inside my brain
It's not you that's mad they sing
It's the world that's clearly insane

we could
03:08
|

We could take a trip down
the Amazon together
It doesn't matter what the
weather's gonna be
I got the taste for a venture
to the nether
Find some bodies that can
satisfy me
Comin' up, comin' up
Comin up to meet you got
my notions and dreams
Always hit my stride when
I'm trekking to where ever
Diggin' the views of anti-teleology
Who knows, we could end
up this way forever
Fumblin' through the jungles
finding whole new ways to
breathe
Comin' up, comin' up, comin
up to meet you
Got my lotions and schemes
Comin up, comin up, comin
up to greet you
Got my notions and dreams
[INSTRUMENTAL]
If you feel me slip would you
take me down the river
But don't forgive her 'cos
there's never any need
You could even wear those
shiny boots of leather
Put those stilletta down just
anywhere you please
I was built to resist
everything except temptation
Imagination's got the better
of me
You know she's got those
cold and dirty dishes
We could take those wishes
and fill them up with heat
Comin' up, comin' up
comin up to meet you
Got my notions and dreams
Comin up, comin up,
comin up to greet you
Got my lotions and schemes
Bring a friend if you wanna
I'll bring some coke and
some weed
Bring a friend if you wanna
Bring whatever you need

02:36

She's always in the kitchen
And she's always got the radio on
High frequencies are blaring
and shes fuckin up the words to the songs
Ah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
On and on and on and on
She's always in the kitchen
And she's always got the
radio on
All her gadgets are connected
Cos shes likes to think that
she aint alone
She wants everyone to know
thats why she talks so fuckin' loud on the phone
Ah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
On and on and on and on
She's always in the kitchen
And she's always talkin' loud on the phone
SOLO
She's always in the kitchen
And she's always got the radio on
High frequencies are blaring
and shes fuckin up the words to the songs
Ah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah
On and on and on and on
She's always in the kitchen
And she's always got the radio on

you are what you weep
03:29
|
|||
And all those signs
Before your eyes
Are cauterised
By all the lies you can't forgive
Deep in the mines of troubled times
Can we chance upon a different way to live?
A way to live
Must we confess our mortal sins?
Must we dance upon the coals and tear our flesh?
Are we bound tried upside down
Paralysed by all the lies we can't forget?
We can't forget
We can't forget
And all you are
Is all you've wept
For all those those years before
Though forged in stars
We form from scars
And we may never know the purpose of it all
Another christ your chosen one
But like the moon he steals his glory from the sun
A love that burns
A love that kills
Must we bow before a love that makes us ill?
It makes us ill
Makes us ill
And all you are
Is all you've wept
For all those those years before
Though forged in stars
We form from scars
And there may never be a purpose there at all
A child is born
Though men are made
We take our good and bad from all the games we've played
Perfected souls
And holy grails
Must we embark upon a quest that's
bound to fail?
It's bound to fail
It's bound to fail
This ship of fools
But all we are
More than what's kept
From all those years before
We'll take those scars
And make new stars
Even if it's just a cosmic blunder after all
But all we are
More than what's kept
From all those years before
We'll take those scars
And fool the stars
We can sing and dance in wonder at it all

guide god

I don't believe in faith
I don't believe in miracles
I don't believe in you
Or the candy-coated things you do
I don't need a god to guide me
I just need someone beside me
I just need
I need someone beside me
I need someone beside me
I don't believe your truths
I don't believe in fairy tales
So spare me all your proofs
The cups of blood, the cross and nails
I don't need a god to guide me
I just need someone beside me
I just need
I need someone beside me
I need someone beside me
I need someone beside me
I need someone beside me
Don't believe in hope
I don't need your charity
Or that after-life you smoke
The mirror-dulled inanity
I don't need a god to guide
me
I just need someone beside
me
I just need
I need someone beside me
I need someone beside me
I need someone beside me
I don't need a god to guide
me
I just need
