"June"

"June"



June arrives Rumoured days
Days of willing it to be

In the nest
Futures hatch
It's such a lovely thing to see

Oh my God
Like an angel moon
What fortune

Like a child
In a field
So it grows, so it yields

June is here
There is love
In the background constantly

From the west
Lights go out
It's such a lonely thing to see

Oh my Lord
Talk of devils soon
What fortune

Like the fruit
In a seed
So it grows
So it needs

Oh my soul
So like her cocoon
Long gone June

Her dark sides
Her bare fields
As she knows
As she feels

"Just For You"

"Just For You"



Sometimes when the darkness loses its hold
I tread politely in the cold
Racking my brains
Pumping my veins
And taking the evening train from view
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you

And it's so easy to hurt me now
And you've forgotten anyhow
That certain ideas
Have changed through the years
I purchased some tears just to see me through
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you

One day I noticed the world at my feet
Next day comes and it rolls into the street
Gathering speed
Paying no heed
That made me bleed until I was blue
But you know I never wanted to
Ah, you know I did it just for you

"Kings"

"Kings"



See history fade, it's crystal clear
Aurora what you doing here
Buttering the mouths of thieves
Shutter speed your bleeding leaves

In gardens in the orient
Likelihood is good and spent
Herod nods beneath the palms
Holds poor baby in his arms

Tunis and Sardinia
The oceans growing hungrier
Beneath these walls we'll sleep tonight
Beneath this sky we'll glide so bright

And kings will come, years will pass
Stars burn cold beneath the glass
And days will glow in distant times
In distorted haze the zebras graze

In deserts where the dust storm blows
And lush black swamps where mandrake grows
We're marching laughing to the drum
Waiting for those kings to come

An infant with the voice of a crone
In Nebuchanezzar's parking zone
Calls out my lord your end is nigh
I didn't mean to make you cry

The circus sun in Nero eyes
The lions and the Christians rise
Software sings and hardware hears
We're destined babe to live these years

"Ladyboy"

"Ladyboy"



An open door, an extended hand
What can I say, I understand
She talks like a bird yet she walks like a man
She'll be here tonight I understand

She hunts in a pack yet she ends up alone
She tells you its not alright darling
Why'd you worship that stone?

Hold me closer ladyboy
There's a rope that's dragging you out of this world
It doesn't care if you're heavy girl
Hold me closer ladyboy
If you look you can see that it's just you and me
There's nothing left of our world

So you think it's a sin
I'll bet it's a miracle
You think that you're safe
I tell you you're critical

The merciless gods
Who sometimes pour down their scorn
They cannot die
And also cannot be born

An open door, an extended hand
What can I say, I understand
I understand, I understand, I understand

"Laughing"

"Laughing"



Five o'clock, fade away the shadows
Leaving by the window or the door
And they're laughing
Laughing at you anyway
Yeah they're laughing
Laughing at you every day

Eight o'clock, underneath the lamplight
Slow poison from a tiny little wound
And they're laughing
Laughing at you anyway
Yeah they're laughing
Laughing at you every day

I understood before I knew
I realized I'd spend my life coming back to you
Laughing at you
Laughing at you

Twelve o'clock, in the building of the mirrors
Recoil from my elongated twin
And he's laughing
He's laughing at you anyway
Yeah he's laughing
He's laughing at you every day

"Laurel Canyon"

"Laurel Canyon"



All those times we parted
All those times we saw it through
Couldn't finish what I started
I was diminished without you

There's music in my memory
And I listen as the miles go by
I guess I'm only temporary
Like a love song flowing by

Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where it's always Saturday

Said that I was always welcome
When we said goodbye in the harshest lights
I sense that should that will come again
I'd find a hundred men to mind you get out alright

And even as I stand here
I understand there has been some mistake
And even as I roam here
That lonesome sound, that old heartbreak

Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where that is I just can't say
I just can't say

Where the birds are singing vespers
The four rivers bringing out my best
In this place forgive our trespasses
Unless there's more, much more to confess

Going to Laurel Canyon
Finding my own way
In some cool dimension
Where you can never hide away

"Lay Low"

"Lay Low"



They say that it's inevitable
They say it's uniform
They say it's undetectable
Do you know who is your foe
How to lay low in a storm
How to lay low
How to stay out

They'll put your pain before philosophy
You'll put the number on for everyone to see
How to stay low
How to lay out

They say it's unavoidable
You say it's necessary
They say it's unforgettable
How to lay low
How to lay out

They'll burn up entering your atmosphere
They'll be obvious to anyone down here
How to stay low
How to lay out

Do you know who is your foe
How to lay low in a storm
How to lay low
How to stay out

"Leave Your Clothes On"

"Leave Your Clothes On"


First thing you know is you don't know a thing
Second thing you think about is that you're sinking
Third thing is water, fourth thing is air
Five are the fingers of wind in your hair

You can leave the city that you used to call home
You can leave your lover just to love all alone
You can leave your father or leave your son
And you can leave your clothes on

A nerve so sleek has entered your head
Take up your sickle, throw it and leave your bed
Make sure your will is good and hard
Make sure you never let down your guard

You can leave your body, you know the technique
Leave for two minutes or for two weeks
You leave your work and your pleasure undone
You can leave your clothes on

[much indecipherable whispering]

"Let Us Go"

"Let Us Go"



See the baby walking through the sleet
A monster moves in the violent sea
Go, I let that go

The tightrope breaks, the magic's gone
Nothing matters, we're falling stars
Evaporate, dust in space
The music fades, no accolades
No, that's a snow

If you touch us we'll disappear
If you're waiting we're never here
If you listen, please just let us know
Please let us go

If you touch us we disappear
If you're waiting we're never here
Oh, let it grow

See a baby walking through the sleet
A monster moves in the violent sea
She's the one with the wild white feet
She's the one with the moon and star
No, I let that go

The tightrope breaks, the magic's gone
Nothing matters, we're falling stars
Evaluate, does this taste so good
No, please, let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go
Let us go (Please let us go) (No please don't let us go)
Let us go (Please) (No please don't let us go)
Let us go

"Let Y=X (Survival Mix)"

"Let Y=X (Survival Mix)"


I don't wanna
I don't wanna
I don't wanna be by myself
Be left on a shelf

Oh yeah
Your one and only life
Ripped from the earth with these bare hands
You dare
Question the ritual
Despite continual
Threats of "gonna get you all"

Nightmare
We ride for miles and miles
Following the howling of our prey
Out there
Reload our yellow rigs
Scrambling for shelter
Dig a void, decay

1 for the cockpit blues
2 for the Panzer crews
3 for the vast and molten sky
4 for the failed talks
5 for the knives and forks
6 for forbidden kicks
All the yobbos in the sticks

1 for the flaming sun
2 for the location
3 for the martyrs and the stars
4 for the wind and sand
5 so you understand, so you understand

[Many overlapping voices from here on]
[Female] ...system overload ...data in time, time, time, time...
[Kilbey] One, two, three, four
[Kilbey] Enjoy that?
[Female] Yeah, I did
Soon as the [?]
[Kilbey] You should be able to tell that
[Female] Well now I know
[Kilbey] And now you're going to notice it

How could he survive for that long ([Koppes] magazines, education)
