"Dangerous Woman Up To A Point"

"Dangerous Woman Up To A Point"


A Dangerous Woman Up To A Point once said -
"As per your wishes, I left you for dead.
I left England to the English."

Is it always one thing or the other with you?
"Forgive them, my Lord, they know not what they do!"
"Hey, your friends are fucked, in so far, as your friends are an ancient
Beast bronzed in tar!"

Have I told you lately that I love you?
Did I fail to mention there's a sword hanging above you?

"Those who love Zeppelin will soon betray Floyd."
I cast off these couplets in honor of the void.
I was here to stay.
I would weather the storm.
I pictured heaven on earth made of clay as your form dictated...

I went down to the garden with the noblest of intentions.
I felt the need to be brief.
I stuck a rose between my teeth and had a laugh.

The sun sets at the speed of light, so I thought I also might leave this
Port of Woe on tall ships made of snow invading the sun.

A Dangerous Woman Up To A Point once said -
"I've never read 'so-and-so, so why mention him here, in this square
Where culprits axe me, my dear.
Tried to enjoy myself at the Society Ball, really I did.
Froze on Union Street, it was springtime, I was just a kid lost in a map
Of the stars others called 'your eyes.'
It was a trap!
It was a good time!
It was hard to realize!...

I can't win.
I can't even walk.
Baby, you should talk.
Baby, you should hear what you're saying.
They said - "Don't look back!" but I looked back.
It was a bore.
It was a fucking horror.
It was - well, honey, you know quite well what you are...

A Dangerous Woman Up To A Point once said -
"People come, and people go, and people lie nameless in the snow..."

"Dark Leaves Form A Thread"

"Dark Leaves Form A Thread"


Susan, the truth is,
sipping sherry branded by moonlight's just a game people are playing tonight.

Seriously, terror advances...so

Sorry if you should find me
thinking of only the things that I need.
I've been living in America in churches of greed––it's sick!

No, it's cool.
You go. I'll stay,
perfectly at home with this dread.
Dark leaves form a thread!

So,
should you still want me
you can find me down at the café,
a little bit too busy being served.
Sworn enemy of the waitresses there,
a late September sunlight travels through her hair––it wants to be seen...
Nah, it's cool.
You go. I'll stay,
perfectly at home with this dread.
Dark leaves form a thread!

"Dark Purposes"

"Dark Purposes"


Maybe it stands to reason:
Boys set fire to the seasons.
They fight to beg, they try to be bigger than
The times will allow the times to be.

That's not to say
The Open Road or an open driveway
Will come to a view that suits us,
Or improves upon our purposes.
Something could be worse than this.

It's true: you're the one I came for.
Two people, they couldn't agree more.
Just my luck...
Who goes there?
'Friend of a Friend' again.
It's true: you're the one I came for.
Two people, they couldn't agree more.
Just my luck...
Who goes there?
'Friend or Accopmplice to Horrible Ends.'

This trellis you really didn't make;
Well if I can't pass through, then who?
The flowers surround us, the power's a plus.
But if I can't get through, then who will get through?
If I can't get through, then who will get through to you?

It's true: you're the one I came for.
Two people, they couldn't agree more.
Just my luck...
Who goes there?
'Friend of a Friend' again.
It's true: you're the one I came for.
Two people, they couldn't agree more.
Just my luck...
Who goes there?
'Friend or Accopmplice to Horrible Ends.'

Byproduct of yesterday's trades, he is
Byproduct of yesterday's trades, he is
Byproduct of yesterday's trades, he is
Byproduct of yesterday's trades

"Death On The Festival Circuit"

"Death On The Festival Circuit"


I mew and crow to fight my way through the snow.
Scratch the surface just to find a second surface.
I begged the merchants, "Please serve a purpose other than treason!"
There must be another reason to play these songs
Best known for being bludgeoned into something to own.

The money's been bought up and, surely woman, you can feel it.
And the music's all washed-up. They'd rather sell it than steal it.
As the festivals run dry, these whorish children can't look you in the eyes
As you turn them out and turn them into something beautiful.
For the party of the century is still looking for a reason to be.

The money's been bought up and, surely woman, you can feel it.
And the scene, it's all washed-up. They'd rather sell it than steal it.
As the festivals run dry, sweet whorish children, please look them in the eyes.
They turn you out and turn you into something less-than-beautiful again

"Death To The Northern Man"

"Death To The Northern Man"


Death to the man more Northern than I am
The tropics will own this table
Peace-loving means unable
Why be glad of that?
Let's get rid of this
Cut the continent loose
Spies like us should just drift

Death to the man more Northern than I am
The crotchety scud at my table
Dogs fill up the stable
Where horses were supposed to go
Why have that?
Let's finish this
Kiss the country goodbye
Spies like us should just drift

My aim is not to bark or bunt
In England they call everyone cunt

"Del Monton"

"Del Monton"


Cerca fue del castillo,
el de San Sebastián,
de las barcas que amarran
a la orilla del mar.

Nunca tú me quisiste,
yo vi ponerse el sol,
calabaza gigante:
ay, qué miedo me dio.

Pudo ser un amor del montón,
pero todo el montón era mío.

Y perdí la cabeza
y toqué pronto fondo.
Y se fue un pescador
al son del cante jondo.

Yo miraba al castillo
y me creía Franz Kafka,
y escribí una canción
que acabé en una tasca.

Pudo ser un amor del montón,
pero todo el montón era mío.

Pudo ser, pero nunca fue nada
y en nada se queda el montón.

Pudo ser un amor del montón,
pero todo el montón,
pero todo el montón,
pero todo el montón era mío.

Cerca fue del castillo,
el de San Sebastián,
de las barcas que amarran
a la orilla del mar.

"Destroyer's The Temple"

"Destroyer's The Temple"


And though the solitudes have won,
I cannot begin to crave you.
Please spring us, Madeline, from these rusted jails of lust we live in;
I'm living in...
I will find you, Lord, in the classified loves of three good women.
You are familiar with these terms, I trust.
Don't you mind
Our children go unseen to us.
The popular singers, they're mean to us.
You'll find: There's joy in being barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple.
There's joy in being barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple.

And, though the grace is singing our praise in countless catchy ways,
Escape from what could only be the soil and dirts of freedom's all I'm thinking of.
I will fund you, Lord, through the classified loves of three good women.
You are familiar with these terms, I trust.
Don't you find such freedoms go unseen to us
The popular singers,
They'll sing to us in time
Of joys and being barred from the temple...

And, though the solitudes have won,
I cannot begin to crave you.

Please spring us, Madeline, from these dusty tales of lust we live in;
I'm giving in.
I will find you, Lord, in the calcified loves of three good women.
You are familiar with these terms, I trust.
Don't you mind
Our children go unseen to us.
The popular singers they'll sing to us.

There's joy in being barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple.
There's joy in being barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple,
Barred from the temple.
There's joy in being...

"Don't Become The Thing You Hated"

"Don't Become The Thing You Hated"


Don't become
Don't become
The thing you hated
The thing you hated
The thing you hated

Don't become
Don't become
The thing you hated
The thing you hated
The thing you hated

Suns rise and suns go down again
Open your Strathcona doors,
Let them in, let them in,
Let them in, let them in, let them in,
Let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in
Let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in, let them in

Don't become
Don't become
The thing you hated
The thing you hated
The thing you hated

"Downtown"

"Downtown"


I was just getting used
To having you 'round.
You went wandering
Around the world.
I woke up.
I went downtown.
I woke up and everything was drowning...
Downtown...

Little Comet (that's the name we gave him!)
's been trying.
But he doesn't see why
MaryJane from down the lane went insane.
Oh she's still better off than I am...
Downtown!...

Held a candle to the window,
Then the door.
Saw the features of the world light up,
Oh Eva, your face!
I was a four-leaf clover.
I was Red Rover on his way over
To your place!...

I was just getting used
To having you 'round
You went wandering
Around the world.
I woke up,
I went downtown.
I woke up

And everything was drowning...

"Dream Lover"

"Dream Lover"


Dream lover, I know
Someone's idea of fun
You and me thought in some city
Lovers on the run, lovers on the run

Haunted starlight gets in your eyes
Grabs hold of us and turns us around
All the signs say you're in for a surprise
All the signs are saying this way to town
All the signs are saying this way

You're sick in bed
You're sick in the head
You'd love a dog to play dead
You'd love a dog to play dead
I think I used to be more fun

Ah shit, here comes the sun
Oh shit, here comes the sun
Look, here comes that sun
And now, here comes that sun
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
And lovers on the run
Dream lover, I know
Dream lover, I know
