"Waist"

"Waist"


[Thurston]
Guess who came round today
X-Girl and the girl snoo-pee
Twinkle toes and sparkle eyes
Everything is a new surprise
They're gonna spend some super-cash
Spend it all on the boy-smash
And all the glamour is all the time
Silver jacket and a twist of lime
Well hope you don't waste away
Yeah hope you don't waste away
You better not waste away
Ooh yeah don't waste away
I've seen it happen before
Girl slipping out the door
Sneaking into Agnes B.
Throw away everything
You've been a waste away
You've been a waste away
You've been a waste away, now

Walk up to her and say
I'd love you anyway
Sweet subtle super style
Wonder how to make an angel smile
Don't let me waste away
Don't let me waste away
Don't let me waste away
Don't let me waste away, wow!

"Walkin Blue"

"Walkin Blue"


Hey now, whats the news?
I heard you've been seen walkin' blue
I know we're all confused, it's ture
I know you feel the same way

Everything we see is clear/everything we feel

I'm here to let you know
All we need to do is just to just let go
You've heard we're "born to lose", I know
But don't you start to think that's really true
You've got the walkin blues today
But soon we'll stand and let the music play

Everything we dream is clear, everything we
Need

Let's say you and I we find/something hard to hold
Let's keep it in our minds
And let it fill our days
Never slip and find we've let it stray
Now we're in for the long ride
We can let the rest slip aside

Everything we need is clear
Everything we feel is clear
Everything we dream is clear
Everything we see is clear

"Washing Machine"

"Washing Machine"


[Kim]
Yeah, I take my baby down to the street and I buy him a soda-pop
He's so sweet

Alright now, alright now, alright now
You said that

If you want I'll be the one
Take you out and have some fun
I never never ever ever tell no one
Till the end, till the morning comes

Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and
I buy him a soda-pop
Hmm hmm

Alright now, alright now, alright now

If you want I'll be the one
Take you out and have some fun
Flip a quarter for the toss
I'd like mine with apple-sauce

Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and
I buy him a soda-pop
`cause he's so neat, sweet

Alright now, alright now, alright now
Okay now

If you want I'll be the one
Shake my legs and have some fun
My hearts spinnin' round like a washing machine
Never saw the devil look so damn clean

Yeah, I take my baby down to the corner and
I buy him a soda-pop
And he said: "honey, you look so fine"
And I said: okay, alright, okay, alright

I was walking up Lafayette street
It's real empty
And I looked out and it turned into a big field
And I looked up in the sky
And I looked up in the clouds
And I saw this face looking down at me
And it's a women's face
And she threw a quarter down at me and she said:
"honey, here's a quarter go put it in the washing machine"
And then I looked up at her,
I looked up

"What A Waste"

"What A Waste"


Hey gimme hollow stimulation
It's so sleazy to be free
Lets invest in dull creation
Thrill city cheap legacy

What a waste
Yr so chaste
I can't wait
To taste yr face

Vapid signals lead me to you
A sublime spectacular dud
Safe and sound from chatter confusion
Get the picture yes it's clear as mud

 

[fox69]

"What We Know"

"What We Know"


I'm in a state of shock
I'm creeping up and down your block
I'm looking into you
I'm trying to catch your view

It's not a quiet meditation
Oh, that you know
Darkness makes the night more cold
That's what we know about me

Satisfied wise child
Creeping heart and frozen perfection
You can touch my hand
I drink a case of you

Heaven's not about your reputation
Yeah, that I know
Forever means the night turns gold
That's what we know about you

It's been quite a ride
With you my sweet, here by my side
Funny how the mountains slide
We're stepping across the great divide
Our bodies vibrate slowly
Yeah, that we know
Bound to give it heart and soul
That's what we know about us

"White Cross"

"White Cross"


[Thurston]
Burning inside
(I cross myself
It doesn't help)
Because I'm not smart enough
(I'm digging into
Hot white)
Learning not to lie
(we cross it out
And stay away)

Burning inside
We cross it out and stay away

"Wildflower Soul"

"Wildflower Soul"


Sing yr children
Yr children song
Sing yr love child
Love is on
See thru child eyes
Eyes are old
And old is magic growing
See the child lights
Spinning gold
Everyday girl
They blow away
Leaves falling to the water
Wildflowers
For you today
Sing yr birthday
Yr birthday blues
Sing yr wild light
Wildflowers bloom
They will not forget you
And down/they go
To sleep/so slow
Away/they grow
They go
I wait/i wait all day
Sing yr love child
Love is on
Sing yr child lights
Sing yr child lights
Lights are gold
Sing yr child life
Wildflower soul

"Winner's Blues"

"Winner's Blues"


[Thurston]
...ifor by the away, go out not today (?)
Move back along and wait a long long time
Nothing running free, you gotta time it all
Run out the door come back when you score
New times will come and you will see a door
Into the lion eye and now I'm gone
And it's out
And it's not what you thought it was about
But a life, that you know
Will keep you bound in...

Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Sometimes you got still the blues for me
I could run away, a long time to stay
Burn out your eyes, burn out surprise
Look out today you know it's not the same
It's all the rage, it's every day
And it's out
And it's not what you thought it was about
But a life, that you know
Will keep you round in love

"Wish Fulfillment"

"Wish Fulfillment"


[Lee]
I see your wishes on the wall, and that's all right with me
I see you run to make a call, hoping that there's someone free
Your life and my life they don't touch at all, and that's no way to be
We've never seemed so far

What's real? what is true?
I ain't turning my back on you
Where're you goin'? where've you been?
Making wishes, watching dreams

It might be simple, it might be true, I might be overwhelmed by you
You might be empty, the way your eyes just look right through
It's such a mess now anyway, wish fulfillment every day
I don't believe you, now I can't hear a word you say

I see you shaking in the light, reading the headline news
The others they're not quite so bright, we want them to choose you
I could almost see your face tonight, singing simple rhythm'n'blues
You'll always be a star

Shake it baby! come'on scream!
Just see your face in a magazine
Don't doubt it! leaves Chris sore! (?)
I can't stand it anymore

It's my favorite shot of you, you look so pretty your eyes were true
I'm still on your side, in spite of everything you do
We're only blood on blood on life, you paint me pictures every night (?)
Come wish beside me, don't you know you know what's right

"Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song)"

"Youth Against Fascism (Hate Song)"


[Thurston]
Another can of worms
Another stomach turns
Yeh yr ghetto burns
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

You got a stupid man
You got a Ku Klux Klan
Yr fuckin' battle plan
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

A sieg heil-in' squirt
You're an impotent jerk
Yeh a fascist twerp
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

Black robe and swill
I believe Anita Hill
Judge will rot in hell
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

Yeah a cross on fire
By a christian liar
A black attack on fire
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

Yeah the president sucks
He's a war pig fuck
His shit is out of luck
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

Another nazi attack
A skinhead is cracked
My blood is black
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

We're banging pots and pans
To make you understand
We gonna bury you man
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate

I'm a human wreck
A redneck in check
I killed the teacher's pet
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
It's the song I hate, it's the song I hate
