Losing ground

Losing ground
Under my feet
There's a low rumbling
There's a crack in the street
It's just no good
It's just no good anymore
Everything I do
Has been done before

Yeah I found my voice
Yeah I got nothing to say
The whole thing started
Cause my mind has gone away
I used to get high
Now I just get lost
I used to bark at the moon
The first one I came across

Almost here
Almost gone

Almost here
Almost gone
Almost where
We belong

Better watch where you step
Better watch what you say
Speak the truth, baby
Believe in what you say
Believe in what you say
It's just no good anymore
It's just no good anymore

You bet I got trouble baby
You bet I got trouble baby
You bet I got trouble baby
You bet I got trouble baby

Long time coming

In my coat of many colours
I'm waiting for my child
I'm waiting for my journey
I'm waiting for my prize

My lord
My lord

Jesus coming running
Ah sweet Jesus run and hide
Yeah I'm on my way to heaven
Ah sweet Jesus come inside

My lord
Long time coming

If I could call my mother
Say mother dry my eyes
If he'd left me in these colours
Then he ain't no god of mine

My lord
Long time coming

Long Snake Moan

Um-hmmm
Dunk you under
Deep salt water
Bring me lover

Hell's no god above
All drunk on my love
You oughtta hear my long snake

You oughtta see me crawl my
Moan!
Dunk you under
Deep salt water
In my dreaming
You'll be drowning
Raise me up lord
Call me lazarus

You oughtta hear my long snake
Moan!
You oughtta see me crawl my...
Moan!

Woo!
Moan!
Moan!

Legs

Oh, you're divine
Oh, you're divine
Oh, did I tell you you're divine?
Oh, did I 'eva, when you were alive?
Did it, hurt when you bled?
Did it, ole' loverboy, ole' feverhead
I'll bet you never thought I'd try
Your mouth, my love, was open wide, singing
Oh, you were my life
Oh, you were going to be my life
Did you, sing happy day?
Sing it that time I went away
Got to, ease my aching head
No other way, cut off your legs
Oh
Oh
Did you 'eva wish me dead?
Ole' loverboy, ole' feverhead
No, you must not go away
But how will you ever walk again?
And I, I might as well be dead…But I could kill you instead…

Kick it to the ground

Look at what I've found
A flower on his grave
Kick it to the ground
I've got no soul to save
Nature dealt me raw
Planted me with hate
Took my only love
To an early grave

See these eyes of envy
Bitterness it's true
I'm looking through your ashes
Looking right at you
Ten thousand years of loving
Could never set me free
From this web of hate I've woven
This chosen misery

Kick it to the ground
Kick it to the ground
Kick it to the ground

Carry scars of sorrow
But I have no regrets
And I will return tomorrow
I'm not finished hating yet
Look at what I've found
A flower on his grave
Kick it to the ground
Kick it to the ground
Kick it to the ground

Kamikaze

How could that happen?
How could that happen again?
Where the fuck was I looking
When all his horses came in?
And he built a whole army
Of kamikaze
10,000 willing
Pilots flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Built an army
To come and find me
Beyond all reason
Beyond all my hopes
The call of duty
Another war zone
(Makes me moan)
Kamikaze - you can't touch me, kamikaze
Eight miles high
He walks his path
And I follow mine
One tooth for one eye
He's come to find me
10,000 willing
Pilots flying
Interfacing
Space and beyond
Here is his army
Interspace here we come
Kamikaze-you don't touch me
Space here we come

Just a working girl

A sixteen year old virgin out drinking with his mates
A layman, with the key to the Pearly Gates
Signs his fake name in illegible scrawl
And a right-on type, the most ashamed of all

Just a working girl
Schemes and missed appointments
Just a working girl
Dreams and disappointments

A fishmonger who hasn't washed for a week
A graphic artist who rinses so much he squeaks
A butcher with knotted muscles and a potted belly
Medical students, all schoolboy chuckles and petroleum jelly

Just a working girl
Schemes and missed appointments
Just a working girl
Dreams and disappointments

The overalls of bricklayers on a saturday night
The suits of glum professionals with midweek blight
The glasses of computer freaks who've laid their software down
And the arses of accountants heaving up and down, up and down

Just a working girl
Schemes and missed appointments
Just a working girl
Dreams and disappointments

A sales assistant with his petty hand in the till
The gasman is collecting just one more bill
A headmaster with a polaroid and a pleated uniform
The nightwatchman stops by quickly on his long walk home

Just a working girl
Schemes and missed appointments
Just a working girl
Dreams and disappointments

Joy

Joy was her name
A life un-wed
Thirty years old
Never danced a step
She would have left these red hills far behind if not for her condition
'Would have left these red hills long ago if not for my condition'
Pitiful Joy
She looked away
Into a hollow sky
Came face to face
With her own innocence surrounding her until it never was a question
Innocence so suffocating, now she cannot move, no question
No hope for Joy
No hope or faith
She wanted to go blind
Wanted hope to stay
'I've been believing in nothing since I was born, it never was a question.'

Johnny hit and run Pauline

Shooting sterilis hypo
Sex machine drug
24 hours
Shoot Pauline between the legs
96 tears to 24 hours
Sex once an hour

Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline

L.A. bust, doors open
Kicking both doors open
Arrested on 6th street
That's when it (brought) drove our girl inside
She was spreading her legs and didn't mind dying
He was still awake

Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline

He was waking up beside the bed
Found clumps of hair
At least Pauline wouldn't co-operate
She was not what you'd call living
He was still awake

Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline
Johnny hit and run Pauline

Joe

Joe ain't you my buddy thee?
Stay with me when I fall and die
Always thought you'd come rushing in
To clear the shit out of my eye
Joe ain't you my buddy thee?
Lay my enemies out in lines
Come in close and I'll wash your feet
With my hair I'd mop them dry
Joe you be my buddy please
In this (hell) and (dead-lock) time
When I'm trussed in that headache tree
Cut me down with your knife

Janet, Johnny & James

What if the world crashed in
Unfolding behind your eyelids
Crash your mind
Cracked your mind

Janet and Johnny and James
Crash your mind
Behind your eyelids

The people behind you
With nepotism
Explodes

All that rubbish
That you create
In the lock
Suddenly cranking
Nepotism

Janet and Johnny and James
Janet and Johnny and James

Dearest Lord, hear me now
Janet and Johnny
Coming over the mountain
From New Guinea
They see a star
They see a future
From you, our creator
They see the future
That would never happen

It's You

Oh dear sweet mama
I'm not feeling well
Can I step out
For a little while?
But I go missing
I steal away
And I go kissing
In the alleyway
All I want to do
And all I want to grow up to be
Is all caught up with you
Look what you're doing to me
Oh dearest young man
Teach me sweetheart
How to love you
I'm a clever girl
You've got me lying
You've got me leaving home
You've got me crying
When I'm alone
When I'm not with you my dreams are so very dark
When I'm not with you I dream of my hair falling out
When I'm not with you I walk dark tunnels of my heart
When I'm not with you everything comes apart
When I was younger
I spent my days
Wondering to whom
I was supposed to pray...
It's you...

Is This Desire?

Joseph walked on and on
The sunset went down and down
Coldness cooled their desire
And Dawn said, 'Let's build a fire'
The sun dressed the trees in green
And Joe said, 'I feel like a King'
And Dawn's neck and her feet were bare
Sweetness in her golden hair
Said, 'Iím not scared'
Turned to her and smiled
Secrets in his eyes
Sweetness of desire
Is this desire
Enough enough
To lift us higher
To lift above?
Hour-long, by hour, may we two stand
When we're dead, between these lands
The sun set behind his eyes
And Joe said, 'Is this desire?'Is this desire
Enough enough
To lift us higher
To lift above?
Is this desire
Enough enough
Enough inside
Is this desire

Is That All There Is?

I remember when I was a girl
Our house caught on fire
And i'll never forget the look on my father's face
As he gathered me in his arms
And raced to the burning building out on the pavement
And I stood there shivering
And watched the whole world go up in flames
And when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to a fire?
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And when I was twleve years old
My daddy took me to the circus
The greatest show on earthe
And there were clowns
And elephants
Dancing bears,
And a beautiful lady in pink tights flew high above our heads
And as I sat there watching
I had the feeling that something was missing
I don't know what
But when it was all over
I said to myself
Is that all there is to the circus
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
And then I fell in love
With the most wonderful boy in the world
We'd take long walks down by the river
Or just sit for hours gazing into each other's eyes
We were so very much in love
And then one day
He went away
And I'd thought I'd die
But I didn't
And when I didn't
I said to myself
Is that all there is to love
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep
I know what you must be saying to yourselvess
If that's the way she feels about it
Then why doesn't she just end it all
Oh no. not me. I'm not ready for the final disappointment
Cause I know just as well as I'm standing here talking to you
That when that final moment comes
And I'm breathing my last breath
I know what i'll be saying to myself
Is that all there is?
Is that all there is?
If that's all there is, my friends, then let's keep dancing
Let's break out the booze and have a ball
If that's all there is
