"Mad Eyed Screamer"

"Mad Eyed Screamer"


Platform ranting in the trees
Disturbed voices on the breeze
Huddled 'round the mad eyes screamer
A pointed finger - the tin can schemer

Mad eyed screamer - mad eyed screamer
Mad eyed screamer - mad eyes screamer
A pointed finger - the tin can schemer
Mad eyed screamer - the corner speaker

Could be a preacher - could be a teacher you want the world to meet your maker
Now a lecher transforms a traitor
With a petrol flaring eye ....

Come and see the corner speaker
Come and his suit dripdry
The passers-by have one obsession
To hear his raving to the sky

Mad eyed screamer on your knees
Mad eyed screamer you are not pleased
With the chatter in the trees
Your balls are freezing in the breeze

Mad eyed screamer - mad eyes screamer
Mad eyed screamer - mad eyed screamer
Your balls are freezing in the breeze
Mad eyed screamer you are not pleased

"Make Up To Break Up"

"Make Up To Break Up"


Spots warts and blemishes
Deep receding crevices
Seem to disappear
With foundation on my face
Foundation on my face!

Shadow conjures cheekbones
Hides a nasal disgrace
A disfigured atrocity
J-j-jutting out of place
Jutting out of place

Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up, break up
Make up to break up

Girls with eyes like swimming pools
Are the ones that I despise
'Cause I need lots of color
To hide my bloodshot eyes
Hide my bloodshot eyes

Now to paint by number
Over the cavernous pit
Lots of glossy red
To hide my pale cracked lips
Hide my pale cracked lips

Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up to break up
Make up, break up
Make up

Now comes the break up
From the make up
Just like the devil's rain
C-c-colors run insane
Colors run insane

Foundation starts to tremble
My nose a grotesque abstract
My mouth a gaping gap

My eyes are shooting blood
My face is cracking up
My face is cracking up

Make up to break up

"Melt!"

"Melt!"


You are the melting men
You are the situation
There is no time to breathe
And yet one single breath
Leads to an insatiable desire
Of suicide
In sex

So many blazing orchids
Burning in your throat
Making you choke
Making you sigh
Sigh in tiny deaths

So melt!
My lover, melt!
She said melt!
My lover, melt!

You are the melting men
And as you melt
You are beheaded
Handcuffed
(In lace and blood and sperm)
Swimming in poison
Gasping in the fragrance
Sweat carves
A screenplay of discipline
And devotion

So melt!
My lover, melt!
She said melt!
My lover, melt!

Can you see?
See into the back
Of a long, black car
Pulling away
From the funeral of flowers
With my hand between your legs
Melting
Sevrin

"Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)"

"Metal Postcard (Mittageisen)"


Reunion begins
with a glass of mercury
whilst television flickers
for (with) another news bulletin
flints light up the eyes
of the seated family

[Chorus:]
"Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal won't rust when oiled and cleaned
Metal is tough, metal will sheen
Metal will rule in my masterscheme"

With a clockwork jerk
pluck cogs from fob watches
for dinner on Friday
then recoiling say excuse me
"Must go recycle
my precious machinery"

[Chorus]

It's ruling our lives
there is no hope
thought I'd drop a line
the weather here is fine
but day and night it blares
commanding through loudspeakers:-

[Chorus]
(Metal is tough, metal is clean)

"Mirage"

"Mirage"


I'm just a vision on your TV screen
Just something conjured from a dream
Seen thro' your x-ray eyes,
A see-thro' scene

The image is no images
It's not what it seems.

My limbs are like palm trees
Swaying in no breeze
My body's an oasis
To drink from as you please
I'm not seeing what I'm meant to believe in
Your non excuse for human being.

It's not plain to see
That I'm playing with me
A photo-fit of loose ends, framed in 3-D
Seen thro' your x-ray eyes,
A see-thro' scene

The image is no images
It's not what it seems

"Miss The Girl"

"Miss The Girl"


Kiss the girl-kiss the girl
Hands around the steering wheel
Caress the shiny vinyl feel

Don't you miss the girl?
Miss the girl

Seduced reflection in the chrome
There's petrol stains outside your home

Kiss the girl-kiss the girl
Your loving strokes are fatal charms
Revenge bites back into her arms

You didn't miss the girl-you hit the girl you hit her with a force of steel
She's wrapped around your burning wheels

"Mittageisen (Metal Postcard)"

"Mittageisen (Metal Postcard)"


Reunion beginnt
Mit einem Glas Quecksilber
Fernsehen flimmert
Fur noch eine nachricht
Flinten beleuchten die augen
Der stzenden familie

Metall ist stark metall wilt scheinen
verrostet nicht wenn geschmiert und rein
Metall ist stark metall will scheinen
Metall regiert in meinem meister plan

Mit mechanischem rucken
Pflücken die taschen uhrzähne
Zum mittageisen Freitag
Im rückprall sagt Verzeihung
Zurück musz ich kehren
Meine liebe maschinerie

Es beherrscht unser leben
Es bringt kein heil
Ich schreibe ein paar zeilen
Das wetter hier ist fein
Doch dröhnt es tag und nacht
Durch loutsprecher.

"Monitor"

"Monitor"


Monitor outside
For the people inside
A prevention of crime
A passing of time

They come and they go
It's a passing of time
They come and they go
Whilst we sit in our homes

Sit back and enjoy
The real McCoy
Our new air of authority
Our sentinel of misery

His face was full of intent
And we shook with excitement
Then the victim stared up
Looked strangely at the screen
As if her pain was our fault
But that's entertainment
What we crave for inside
No more second rate movies
From those people outside

"Morning Dawning"

"Morning Dawning"


The dawning is over
The morning is over
And I can't look into your eyes

A cold november morning
A shivering new dawning
I watched your energy slide

It's sad to see it dying-that fire once so lively now three sad tears have fallen from my eyes a dampened need for fire-
a kindled desire the power just vanished from your eyes

This feeling is crying
The sea it is sighing
For spirits that just give up and die

The dawning is over
The mourning is over
I still can't look into your eyes

"Mother / Oh Mein Papa"

"Mother / Oh Mein Papa"


The word you learn to love (The disapproval that you hate)
That's Mother (From Mother)
They teach you to respect... (Makes you always want to please)
Mother (Mother)

The one who keeps you warm (The one who keeps you warm)
And shelters you from harm (And shelters you from harm)
Watch out she'll stunt your mind (She'll open up your mind)
'Til you emulate her kind (To make you good and make you kind)
Is that Mother? (Mother)

Downstairs I don't know (Downstairs I don't know)
If it's the springs in her bed (Why I feel safe in my bed)
Or her joints I hear (When I know I'm alone)
Creaking overhead (She must be watching overhead)
Mother (Mother)

She'll twist the words you speak (She'll kiss and say goodbye)
If she thinks you're near escape (If you want to go away)
Mother (Mother)
So she clutches at her brood (So she gathers up her brood)
And sits across its face (And smiles into their face)
She sucks up all its energy (She beams down vital energy)
And smothers their last breath (She gave us our first breath)
Oh Mother (Mother)

The thing you grow to hate (The love you won't forget)
