"Dead Loss Angeles"

"Dead Loss Angeles"


The plastic peaches there
On concrete beaches there
You see the leaches there
You see the leaches there
They're soft marshmallow there
It's oh so shallow there
In Dead Loss Angeles
In Dead Loss Angeles

The dedged up mastodon
Has got his glasses on
He's never seen the shit
From the La Brea pit

The lunar base camp there
With burning midnight lamp
They call it frisbeeland
It's just a disneyland
Android americans
Live in the ruins there
In Dead Loss Angeles
In Dead Loss Angeles

The dedged up mastodon
Has got his glasses on
He's never seen the shit
From the La Brea pit

From the La Brea pit
From the La Brea pit
From the La Brea pit

From the La Brea pit
From the La Brea pit
From the La Brea pit

They get the tremors there
Been given Babylon
Plenty of companies
Such lonely company
I hear a symphony
Of lonely timpanis
In Dead Loss Angeles
In Dead Loss Angeles

The dedged up mastodon
Has got his glasses on
He's never seen the shit
From the La Brea pit

"Dead Ringer"

"Dead Ringer"


Haven't I seen you somewhere around before?
Haven't I seen you somewhere around before?
Bet you're a dead ringer
Bet you're a dead ringer
Bet you're a dead ringer
Bet you're a conkeroonee stringer
Wasn't it you said you was into changing the law?
Wasn't it you said you was into changing the law?

Wasn't it you running around proud of being poor?

Productivity Credibility Impossibility

"Death And Night And Blood (Yukio)"


Death and night and blood
Death and night and blood

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

When I saw that sparta in his eyes
Young death is good

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

And we decided that to die there was no greater love

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Hey little baby don't you lean down low
Your brain's exposed and it's starting to show
Your rotten thoughts yeuch

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

I was attracted to a night torchlight parade
And there I came

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Home is a black leather jacket fitting sweetly to my brain

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Death and night and blood)
Death and night and blood)

Hey little baby don't you lean down low
Your brain's exposed and it's starting to show
Your rotten thoughts yeuch

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

I will force my body to be my weapon and my statement, so

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

Hey little baby don't you lean down low
Your brain's exposed and it's starting to show
Your rotten thoughts yeuch

(Death and night and blood)
(Death and night and blood)

"Do You Wanna?"

"Do You Wanna?"


Do you wanna marry a lumberjack?
Do you wanna freeze to death?
Do you wanna be a beauty queen,
And rule the kingdom?

Let out all the prisoners
Cause that's a jubilee

Do you wanna marry a company director?
Do you wanna go to work?
Do you wanna be a beauty queen,
And rule the kingdom?

Let out all the prisoners
Cause that's a jubilee

Do you wanna marry money?
Do you wanna use your body?
Do you wanna stay at home,
On the range?

Do you wanna blow your mind?
Do you wanna blow your hymen?
Do you wanna blow exams?
Do you wanna fix my muffler?
It's got a hole in it

"Don't Bring Harry"

"Don't Bring Harry"


Harry and me we live in a dream
With a friend like him I don't need enemies

I don't know where morning is
It might not come today
That's the trouble when harry's around
He forces me to play

I should have refused to meet this midnight cheat
He likes to prey on my mind with his own special treat

I don't know when morning comes,
It might not come today.
Harry likes to play all night
I'll do what harry says

Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around

Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was life there, now there's compromise

Harry is a beast of luxury
He just wants my body and soul - leaves the bones behind

Ah you've met harry - I can see by your eyes
If once there was action - Now there is no life

Don't bring harry I don't need him around
Don't bring harry I don't need him around

"Down In The Sewer"

"Down In The Sewer"


Down in the sewer
Picking up quite a lot of empty Coca Cola cans
And there sure are a lot of them around here

How did I get down here?
Well it's a long story
I should have stayed down home out on the farm
And kept my tootsies warm, instead of freezing them off down here

There's lots of rats down here
You can see the whites of their eyes
They got sharp teeth
Deep breath
And lots of diseases

People say you shouldn't stay down here too long
Lose your sense of light and dark, lose your sense of smell

I tell you what I'm gonna do
Gonna make love to a water rat or two
And breed a family
They'll be called the survivors

You know why?
(No!)
'Cause they're gonna survive ('vive, 'vive, 'vive...)

I'll see you in the sewer, brother

I'll see you in the sewer
I'll see you in the sewer, the sewer, the sewer

I'll see you in the sewer
I'll see you in the sewer

I'll see you in the sewer
I'll see you in the sewer

I'll see you in the sewer

"Dreamtime"

"Dreamtime"


The only way for us to be alone
Into the earth and in the stone
When you wanna be on your own, is dreamtime

I am there in the rock
From the start of the total clock
All of my dreams can interlock, in dreamtime

Share my dreamtime
Share my dreamtime

To be there everyday
Letting curiousity point the way
Never felt I had a pleasant stay, in dreamtime

The sites are there before the eyes
History is crystallised
Every place has got a special size, in dreamtime

Share my dreamtime
Share my dreamtime
Share my dream
We won't have to touch [x2]
We won't say too much
The only thing for us to do
Is walk about and then appreciate the view

Share my dreamtime

"Duchess"

"Duchess"


Duch of the terrace never grew up
I hope she never will
Broken down TV sits in the corner
Picture's standing still
Standing still

Duch of the terrace knows all her heritage
Says she's Henry's kid
Knows all the history in her family
Needs a man, God forbid!
God forbid!

And it sounds like an empty house
Standing still
And it's quieter than a mouse
Standing still

Duch of the terrace never grew up
I hope she never will
Says she's an heiress, sits in her terrace

Says she's got time to kill
Time to kill

And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid!
And they all want to win the cup
God forbid!

Duchess - Duchess
Duchess - Duchess
Duchess - Duchess

And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid!
And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid!
And the Rodney's are queuing up
God forbid!

"English Towns"

"English Towns"


There is no love inside of me
I gave it to a thousand girls
We build towers of saddened ivory
In our English towns

The dogs they try to possess us
I can hear their anguished cries
They build towers of ivory
In our English towns

I can see their astonished eyes
Look the same in any size
And their secrets are all the same
Seeking pleasure seeking fame

No love in a thousand girls
No love in a thousand girls

"Enough Time"

"Enough Time"


What's gonna happen when the sky goes black?
What will you do when the sea comes back?
What if there's no way of moving back?
What when your face falls apart?

Have you got enough time?
Have you got enough time?
Have you got enough time?

You're drifting out like a child who's lost
Who's looking for a better way
You're moving like a coin in the air
What when your face falls apart?

Have you got enough time?
Have you got enough time?
Have you got enough time?

You're maybe looking for a sign of life
You hope it's gonna save your life
What will you do to restore your sight?
What when your face falls apart?

Have you got enough time?
Have you got enough time?
Have you got enough time?

Have you got enough time?
Have you got enough time?
