"Take Another Shape"

"Take Another Shape"

Of all the places I could be right now
You are the one I’d rather be

For all the faces I’ve seen someone
Try to attach themselves to me

Now I’m underneath, the girl with the teeth
Brushing hair that isn’t there
Pull back the sheets
And I declare

Don’t let me die
In a hell-scape
American hell-scape
Without the dolls I came in with

I’ll take another shape
Descend from a great ape
And bless the spades we’ve dug in with

Before anyone can make the first cut
Accept the terms and conditions
It’s such a shame that we can make things up
Because of silly, silly traditions

Now the lady learns
That it’s my turn
As I burn through her millions
Let me visit her mouth
Before it goes all south

Don’t let me die
In a hell-scape
American hell-scape
Without the dolls I came in with

I’ll take another shape
Descend from a great ape
And bless the spades we’ve dug in with

Prop me up on flimsy boards
Put me in the helicopter
I do not seek rewards
I merely seek the doctor

And let me move towards
The light I’m moving t’wards
And I shall rock her!

Don’t let me die
I do not seek rewards
The light I’m moving t’wards
It’s visible at night
When you see me on the television
Remember it was my decision
To cut the chord with this light
Take a plastic knife!

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!

"Take Off Your Clothes"

"Take Off Your Clothes"

What a love this is
You got love on a lovethesis
Did i say you could look at me
Quit looking at me

You know the drill
You know how it goes
I wanna see you strip now
So take off your clothes [X4]

I bought love just a minute
I bought a hand
Sometimes its hard to be a man

You know the drill
You know how it goes
I wanna see you strip now
So take off your clothes [X4]

1..2..3..4

Take off your clothes

"Talking Turkey"

"Talking Turkey"

You get the hotel,
I'll get the box of wine.
No sadder words had been spoken,
Since the dawn of time.
When we were young,
We never think that it will come to this,
Because you only get one shot;
I took my shot and missed.

She said "You just keep it still love,
I'll get the cameras going".
I'm still amazed at the things I do,
To keep my debts from growing.
She says "We've got some sort of symbiotic relationship",
And for our purposes,
She says she finds me well equipped.

(She's barkin' up my tree),
(And bouncin' on my knee).
Like some sort of Buddha-baby!
(She's a talkin' turkey),
(Smokin' my jerky).
I guess I'm in the market for what she's hawkin',
Build some more shelves cause we're gonna keep stockin',
We can talk turkey till the turkey starts talkin' to me!

Her stomach's bigger than my eyes!
(Happy Thanksgiving, baby!)
She smothers me inside;
This time I daren't forget the gravy.

She says "I'll just freshen up now,
I'm expecting some more friends".
And it's becoming clear to me,
There's more filth around the bend.
She said (?) for the kind of internet,
And she always gets everything that she sets out to get.

(She's teaching birds and bees),
(And always pushin' me).
Like a leather monstrosity!
(She's a talkin' turkey),
(Smoking the jerky).
Better get the door 'cause I hear your friends knocking,
(?) and just keep walking.
We can talk turkey till the turkey is talking to me!
Talking to me!

She's shaking her thighs!
(You know how to treat a lady),
She smothers me and dies!
Happy Thanksgiving, baby,
Happy Thanksgiving, baby,
Happy Thanksgiving, baby,
Happy Thanksgiving, baby!
Baby.

"Taxi 2 Nowhere (Demo)"

"Taxi 2 Nowhere (Demo)"

I ride a taxi
To nowhere
And as soon as I get off I’m gonna be alone

I’m in the back seat
Dying
I can’t remember anything at all
Except the day that you left me
A-ha!
Except the day that you left me
Alone to die

Waah!

It’s the tuxedo I’m wearing
That gets me where I want to go
It’s the illusion of money that brings me home

I ride a taxi
To nowhere
A taxi
To nowhere
And as soon as I get out I’m gonna be alone.

It's the illusion of money
That brings be home

I ride a taxi

"Technical Difficulties"

"Technical Difficulties"

[Hum]
Spreads like a disease
This party’s having technical difficulties
[Hum]
I’m down on my knees
This party’s having technical difficulties
(That’s all I’ve got)
(This party’s having technical difficulties)
Yeah
(What was the riff you played at the front)
(Oh you mean the thing underneath it)

Yeah that’s it
[Hum]

[Whistles]
Yep.

"The Afterlife"

"The Afterlife"

Permanent smiles like two reptiles eating flies
Turning up dials
Like audiophiles hearing with their eyes

Reading and writing and ultimate fighting
When you lay down with dogs you lay with my dogs
Scratching and biting is oh so exciting
When you lay down with dogs you lay with my dogs
There is no exodus in the afterlife (the afterlife)
There is no point to this in the afterlife (the afterlife)

(Life)
(Music)
(Life)

De-materialise and hide your greatest failing
Open up your eyes and fantasise your sailing
Cleaning and scrubbing will greatly improve this
If you lay down with dogs you lay with my dogs
Bouncing and clubbing’s the new kind of hubris
If you lay down with dogs you lay with my dogs

There is no consequence in the afterlife (the afterlife)
There is no border fence in the afterlife (the afterlife)
There is no consequence in the afterlife (the afterlife)
There is no border fence in the afterlife (the afterlife)

"The Band In Hell"

"The Band In Hell"

The band in hell
Plays all night long
It's a sold-out show
And there is only one song
There is no rhythm
And there is no rhyme
It goes on forever
Until the end of time

Now the devil, he plays guitar
And Hitler plays the drums
I'm the man on the microphone
This is what I've become

I'm sorry that
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry that I am what I am
Another coal on the fire

Now there was once a man
Who walked the earth with no shoes
He went from town to town
Playing rhythm and blues

And there was love in every note that he played
And there was truth in every word that he sang
He offered those who believed his guarantee
But somehow he missed me

I'm sorry that
I'm sorry that I love you
I'm sorry I
I'm sorry that I am what I am
A damnation to you
I'm sorry

"The Girls Want To Be With The Girls"
(originally by Talking Heads)

"The Girls Want To Be With The Girls"
(originally by Talking Heads)

The girls don't want to play like that
They just want to talk to the boys
They just want to do what is in their hearts
And the girls want to be with the girls

And the boys say, "What do you mean?"
And the boys say, "What do you mean?"
Well there is just no love
When there's boys and girls
And the girls want to be with the girls
And the girls want to be with the girls

Girls want things that make common sense
The best for all concerned
They don't want to have to go out of their way
And the girls want to be with the girls

And the boys say, "What do you mean?"
And the boys say, "What do you mean?"
Well there is just no love
When there's boys and girls
And the girls want to be with the girls
And the girls want to be with the girls

Girls are getting into abstract analysis
That want to make that intuitive leap
They are making plans that have far reaching effects
And the girls want to be with the girls

And the boys say, "What do you mean?"
And the boys say, "What do you mean?"
Well there is just no love
When there's boys and girls
And the girls want to be with the girls
And the girls want to be with the girls

"The Intergalactic Version"

"The Intergalactic Version"

Let my love spill all around you
Hide your hair inside your hat
I bought you too many dreams for your birthday baby
I really can't say it any better than that
And you can't expect to get no attention
Without causing a capricious stir
The world as such is depressing me baby
But I like being around you much better than her

And we sing of love
And we sing of love
It's the intergalactic version
It's the intergalactic version
It's the intergalactic version
Of an American love song
And we always find it funny
To listen to them getting all the words so wrong

This is a version so hard to sing
It's just more baggage for your heart to bring
Dress it up with whistles and bells that ring
But it don't make this song any easier to sing
We write the same song over and over again
We write the same song over and over again
We write the same song over and over again
We write the same song over and over again
