FUNKY LITTLE DEMONS |
GOING SOUTH |
Peace and love - a phoney kind of blubber
My instincts tell me to crash
You've got salt emissions and you know how to use them
I somesow think this won't last
So I'm moving south
To the great unknown
Yeah I'm moving south
Where the head unloads
You've got a reason
Some funky little demons
Telling me that life is a gas
You're a deconstruction a euphemism nothing
Motown gives it a blast
So I'm moving south
To the great unknown
Yeah I'm going south
Where the head unloads
Called my brother - he said I need a lawyer
And my life is sinking at best
Called my brother - he said I've just become
A moaner who lives in the past
You've got a vision
Some funky little 'isms
Telling me that life is a gas
Your misconception is a pitiful expression
It's something I'll never possess
So I'm moving south
To the great unknown
Yeah I'm moving south
Where the head unloads
Peace and love - a phoney kind of blubber
My instincts tell me to crash
You've got salt emissions and you know how to use them
I somesow think this won't last
So I'm moving south
To the great unknown
Yeah I'm moving south
Where the head unloads

11 YEARS |
11 years of faking it
Same clothes, empty songs
Believing it like the most
Sing your blues and low life tunes
Make it sad, make it slow, make it wet like the honeymoon
Said to make it sentimental - lover man come slow and gentle
11 years - you kept me sunken
11 years - you kept me under
11 years
11 years of faking it
From art to junk and Motown passions
Pull me up, buttercup
I'm coming home, the new blasphermer
So sad I sold the meaning, sold the man and I'm so damn seething
Make it sad and make it true
You're gonna send that love
11 years - you kept me sunken
11 years - you kept me under
11 years - what comes next now
11 years
The waves of gloom, they speak to me
I have no choice but to leave and breathe it
Make it slow and experimental so that you can solve it
11 years - you kept me sunken
11 years - you kept me under
11 years - I've dug this trench now
11 years - what comes next now

BLOOD SATISFACTION |
Misdemeanours form the fantasies of life
Like holding hands with the mysteries of time
And making blood like a Joan of Arc believes
It's like I said a little love is all you need
Safe and sound with a face that isn't mine
Safe and sound with a sound that isn't mine
My blood it rise in me
My water lies in me
My blood it rise in me
Blood satisfaction
Blood satisfaction
Mother's milk and a mother's all you'll find
Safe and sound in the knowledge that you're mine
Safe and sound and the mother milk divides
You show her life and you'll see that she is blind
You show her life and you'll see that she is blind
My blood it rise in me
My water lies in me
My blood it rise in me
Blood satisfaction
My satisfaction
Pulling motion and the soft begins to prime
Making blood in the body of her kind
Making blood and the mother milk divides
You show her life and you'll see that she is blind
My blood it rise in me
My water lies in me
My blood it rise in me
Blood satisfaction
My satisfaction
My blood it rise in me
My water lies in me
My blood it rise in me
Blood satisfaction
My satisfaction

CHAINS |
Chains
Chains
We console now you and I
I said hold me there
Hold me
Make the night roll magic
I will not fly away
So now make it, make it rain
Chains
Chains
I have wandered and I have found no reason that I can understand
Why all these boundaries return to where I am
So please break them
Make them break down into -
Chains
Chains
Make the night roll
And hold my hands up to your own
I'm like a man pitied and maimed
Sorrow won't lift our shame like these
Chains
Chains
Chains
Chains
Chains

CHRISTIANITY |
When the walls of Christianity begin to shake
When my life is in the balance, neither peace nor morals wake
Telling me my life is easy, debauched and thirdly heaven sent
My heart was never theirs but this Christianity will decide
I'm bruised and left alone
I get to feel so sad
People say that I was sad
People say that I was bad
People walking around with other feelings they never like to contemplate
Reacing out for love but would never say
The chirches have a network leading to the sect and to the soul
They levitate their founder's faith up to a higher ground while we stay home
I am a wicked man
I will not be this unsound
I was a wretched man before I filled this hole
When Jesus was upon his cross he never was this alone
Do do do do do
They're playing on our weaknesses and changing every sound
Who could find the right solution when they're being drowned
Har de har the vacant talk can make you see their ways
Now check your faith and sleep with love
The modern way
Now is that love
Christianity has nothing for me
Do do do do do
This Jerusalemic holy ground is only fit for mealy mouths
Whose contamination breeds subordination
I've said too many times but who leads that kind of life
When my time comes around who will plead my innocence
And I resent that these things I do
And I resent that these things are true
And I resent that these things I do
Do do do do do

DEREK THE CONFESSOR |
Well, I've been thinking about all the things I've said
And all the things I seem to keep inside my head
I won't take them back, I won't take them home
The monkey's dead but there will be another one
Well, I've been thinking about all the things I've done
You turn to me and tell me that your life's on one
You can't sow the facts and then appear so wise
And there's no looking back without a compromise
Well, I've been thinking about all the things I've seen
Like looking around for people inside my reach
You can't take them back, you can't take them home
So if you let them down then you must let them go

SO LONG DEAD |
I'm out of the forest
I'm out of the wilds
I'm out of the forest
And into the light
I'm out of extinction
And into the scene
I'm out of extinction
And into the meaning
Where can I be?
Well, I'm so long sad
So long dead
So long beaten
But here I stand
Breathing love as mean as this
Where can I be?
Sinking in the self
And making it a bride
Preaching in love and making it a liar
Making love is not what I said
Freaks a double meaning
Meaning man
So long man
So long dead
So long man
So long dead
I'm sick and tired of what man has achieved
Sick in riches trying to make him be seen
My mind is double vacant
Making me a liar
Stick it to your face and then make it alright
So long man
So long dead
So long beaten but here I stand
Breathing love as mean as this
Breaking love as cheap as this
Where can I be?
Thinking it's sad to be on my own
Making it back to become so old
Genocide likes walking home
I'm breathing it down to be on my own
A little sympathy is what you need
A little sympathy is what I fear
A little sympathy
So long dead
So long will time have caused a genocide
Making a sport from a man paralysed
Breathing love as mean as this
Breaking love as cheap as this
So long man
So long dead
So long man
So long dead

SHE'S SO SOFT |
Thinking surface looking under
You want something look no further
Thinking hard but working in a small time
She was born in mid-town provincia
Down the road from Faust
Harper Lee said it's allowed
Mama wakes up raising money
In the back room speaking like a sonnet
Did it a suicide come?
Freak see-saw romance come
Peak time sure sign
She's here to serve it up
Like a dream
She's a waltz
Like I am
She's so soft
Raising fools and it's no wonder
What we have a care for we won't tear asunder
We offend but she won't suffer
She's like having heaven in your home
She's a dream
Like a waltz
She's a gas
She's so soft
Like a dream
She's a waltz
She's a man
She's so soft
You can suffer all your monies
Rose and me still love you honey
Could I face another day content that I was under
But if you go leave your soul home
She's so soft
She's so soft
Thinking surface looking under
You want something look no further
Break it down softly she won't murmur
She was thrown from big-town provincia
You get a suicide sun
People there are neither hip nor dumb
Peak time sure sign
She's here to serve it up
Like a dream
She's a waltz
Like a man
She's so soft
Could I face another day content that I was under
But if you go leave your soul to live in wonder
If you go leave your soul home
She's so soft, she defies the laws of line
She's so soft, she defies the laws of line
She's so soft, she defies the laws of line

FALLEN NOT BROKEN |
Reaching out for peace of mind
Me and me said it's alright
Mountain deep and rivers high
It may be coming and I know why
I know why I know why
I wore mink and I wore flesh
And I have meddled and I have festered
I have fallen but not been broken
Seventeen a mother child
Never was by design
Living under what she saw
Living by and never for
Reasons for her peace of mind
People think they just live and die
But I will never die
No I will never die
I wore head and I wore flesh
And I have meddled in the times of pleasure
I have fallen but not been broken
Like the crusaders of 406 at the gates of Constantinople
It was the minds of great thinkers of centuries before us
And psycho-supposers that make us walk thousands of feet below

PEOPLE SAY |
People say it's easy living in the light
Never see the hard times, never see the fight
Simple when it's slow but only if it's right
I only see the good times everytime
And now I've seen the whole, I'm ready to believe
And now I've seen the proof, I'm ready to concede
The same amount of hope is here upon my back
People say they know
People say they think
But they don't
And they they say they will
But they won't
People say they think
But they don't
That's all mine
Stepping into black and living in the light
Living isn't easy but life it does divide
Thinking of having babies is won't seem right
You're going to have a hard time everytime
And we're holding up the seeds like we're holding up the flame
Fearing that the women won't breed another name
Never tear apart what you're reaching to achieve
People say they know
People say they think
But they don't
And they they say they will
But they won't
People say they think
But they don't
That's all mine
Staring into black whilst living in the light
Living isn't easy but life it does divide
Charlie Manson said that everything is right
And Charlie Manson knows
People say they think
But they don't
And they they say they will
But they won't
People say they think
But they don't
That's all mine
