"Rip (Andy Gray Mix)"

"Rip (Andy Gray Mix)"


I'll get down on my knees
I'll do anything I can
I'll even walk upon water
I'll give some body disease

I'm so sick with need
I'm so sick with pain
I'll lay before the cross and pray
I'll bleed like holy rain
I've gotten sick of the pain
o dear I pray

HEY HEY HEY

I've done nothing to you

I've got something for you

I'll rip the skin from God's face
I'll say I'm searching for the truth
I steal the light from heavens gates
If it can guide me to you

I'll give life to obsession
I'll give life to disease
I'll give you one last sin or cure
And then I'll do as I please

I've got something for you

"Rip It Up"

"Rip It Up"


The new law is moving in
Now you see them now you don't
Like a Shadow in my diguise
Like a soft machine on ice
Who are you?
'I'm the man
I am the cure and disease'
Who am I?
I'm the need
I am the weakness that feeds

I've got to rip it up
I've got to tear it down
I've got to break the word
I've got to fight for you

Who am I to criticise
I'm unsafe at any speed
'We can change the world' she said
Never changed it never tried
I'm cold and hard
But I don't mind
I've been everything I can be

I've been sick
And I've got he screams
These boys don't know when to push

Did you know that I don't run
Did you know that I don't hide
Did you know that I don't sleep
Did you know that I don't care

I am the soft machine
I am the word and the law
I am the new machine
I am your feelings and more
Come inside and Play with me
I'll show you things to forget
No-one talks
And no-one leaves
No-one remembers the way

I've got to fight the man
I've got to fight the need
I've got to fight the law
I've got to fight the word

"Rumour"

"Rumour"


I listen to rumours
Stone cold and bleeding
They burn my heart away
Left me alone and afraid
Words seem to leave me
Just when I needed them
Just like I need you
Like I'm supposed to do
They say:
Love is deceiving
She won't stay forever
Love is deceiving
Is all that she knows
Love is deceiving
She'll leave you forever
Love is deceiving
She comes and she goes
I wonder
I wonder

I listen to rumours
Listen to everyone
Everyone but you
And now it's all too late

"Scanner"

"Scanner"


I would take your place
If your world fell down
I would take your pain
And leave a smile
For you

If you feel a kiss
When you're dreams are dark
And a voice guides you home
When you are lost
That was me

Sometimes love breaks my heart

Sometimes love breaks my heart

I will keep you warm
And I'll wipe your tears away
I'm a shadow
Watching over you
All my life

I would die for you
I would give the world to you
And I'd sell my soul to keep you safe
I love you

Sometimes love breaks my heart

Sometimes love breaks my heart

And when God comes for me
I won't go far
Like a smile in your heart
I won't be far away

If you're afraid and need to find me
I'll be here with you
And when you dream and hear me calling
You'll see me again

Sometimes love breaks my heart
Sometimes love breaks my heart

"Scar"

"Scar"


I'm not
Crawling around
Looking for a friend.
I'm not
Thinking the big I am.
I'm not
Down on the ground
Looking for a cure.
I'm not
Saying that I'm the man.

And I'm not asking for your opinion.
I'm not asking for a miracle.
And I'm not asking you to remember me,
Not asking for the ghost to call.

I'm
Cold and corrupt
Looking for a heart.
I'm
Trying to hide my scars.
I'm
Talking to you
Like a shadow in the dark.
I'm
Just trying to survive.

(Call my name, hide my shame)
I call this human emotion.
(Save my soul, save my soul)
I call this human corrosion.

And I'm not asking you for emotion,
I'm not asking for the sky to mend.
And I'm not asking you for nostalgia,
I'm not asking for the world to end.
And I'm not asking for your opinion,
I'm not asking for a miracle.
And I'm not asking you to remember me,
Not asking for the ghost to call.

"Shame"

"Shame"


I've done things God should've questioned
But I don't care.
I've seen things that made my flesh crawl
But I was young.
I've said things that you believed in
But I don't mean.
I heard things, one more confession that
Leaves me cold.

My picture ashames you
My picture
My picture ashames me
My picture

This ain't love, this ain't affection
But you don't care.
This ain't need, I'm not the fashion
So leave my heart.
So good God were you mistaken
Now will I burn?
No more lies no more distraction
So pay you back.

Religion ashames you
Religion
Religion ashames me
Religion

I'm lying shame on me
(secrets forever)
This disease shame on me
(secrets forever)
My memories shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon,abandon me
(secrets forever)

This fashion ashames you
This fashion
This passion ashames me
This passion

I'll never ashame you
I'll never ashamed me.

A stranger, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Nostalgia, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Religion, shame on me
(secrets forever)
Abandon, abandon me.

I've done things God should've questioned
But I don't care.

"She Cries"

"She Cries"


I know how to read alone
Here in the dark some old stories are told.
The telephone haunts me
Like a picture of things that I'd never
Bring home.

[CHORUS:]
She cries like I do
Too late for new words.
She cries like I do
[?] it's a man.

No-one is allowed in here
I'm the [?] new feelings [?]
This edge in my voice that says
'I never touched your heart,
I suppose'.

[repeat chorus]

She cries like I do
Like we're supposed to
She cries like I do
Here in the dark.

I'm so surprised.

 

[fox69]

"She's Got Claws"

"She's Got Claws"


You are distraction
Like pictures on the wall
I don't like eyes
You are attraction
It gets to be routine
You're up I'm down

She's got claws
But the factory knows
We're dreams in cold storage
We could dance the night away

You say you love me
Maybe you do
A patience I can't steal
I don't believe you
You said 'straight'
It's like giving up hope

Here on the ground
On the floor
Screaming nothing at all
Here on the ground
Like some whore
Looking down on you all
Too much advice. I'm not sure.

Laughing hyenas
With pens for charms
You'll just suck in the boys
We have to leave soon
Shut the door
This house is far too cold

She's got claws
But the factory knows
We're dreams in cold storage
We could dance the night away

 

[fox69]

"Sister Surprise"

"Sister Surprise"


We are
Walking nostalgia
Like old movies for real
Look at me, look at you
Look at them, look at us

I'm young
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Sell a slim body to the man next door
Like my sister Surprise

We'll wait for you

We are
The pleasure creation
Gone wrong. Gone wrong.

We are
Walking ghost stories
No religion
No relief
No old wisdom
No belief
Sometimes I could scream

We'll wait for you

 

[fox69]

"Slave"

"Slave"


Here in this room
I'm a slave to your voice
I wait in the dark
With a cold metal choice
Here in this room
Where desire will bleed
And no-one can help you
No-one but me

OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you

Do you remember
The last time you cried?
Need I remind you
How innocence lied?
Here in the dark
You're a secret untold
A helpless obsession
So perfectly cold

OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you
OOh OOh
Here's something to remind you

Cry for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
Beg for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
Scream for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
Pray for someone, something, I'll laugh at you
