Right To Fly

Bowling along the street like an empty carton
Mouthing words to music no-one else can hear
Rolling in the gutter like a stolen hubcab
The force field means no-one will come near

I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got a right to fly

Try and engage some conversation
But people's teeth grind and hackles rise
And then they get that glazed look in their eyes
They press a tarnished coin into my greasy mitt
My clothes catch the rain, the sun, the sweat

I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got a right to fly

One last soldier behind a shield of offense
People attacking with curled lips and glances
Mind grows propellers and pilots
And retro-rockets taking off to where the alley wind dances

I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got my head in the clouds
And my feet on the ground
I've got a right to fly
And you're wrong to bring me down
I've got a right to fly

You're wrong
You're so wrong

Rid Of Me

Tie yourself
To me
No-one else
You're not rid of me
Night and day
I breathe
Ha ha hey
You're not rid of me
I beg you
My darling
Don't leave me
I'm hurting
Lick my legs I'm on fire
Lick my lips I'm desire
I'll tie your legs
Keep you against my chest
No you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
I'll twist your head off, say
'Till you say don't you wish you never met her
I beg you
My darling
Don't leave me
I'm hurting
Big lonely
Above everything
Above everyday
I'm hurting
Lick my legs and I'm on fire
Lick my lips and I'm desire
No you're not rid of me
I'll make you lick my injuries
Twist you head off-say
'Till you say don't you wish you never met her

Rest Sextet

I'd kill you
Or you'd kill me
I could wreck that head of yours

Move it from side to side
Then we'll see
You can't take that away from me

Try to be strong
Try to be kind
Try to pretend
But I can't live a lie
And nor he
Oh he could have been a friend to me
No matter what you think or do
It always comes back to you

Here I am
Round again
Is this the end?
Now you won't ever find me

Reeling

I wanna' bathe in milk
Eat grapes
Have Robert De Niro
Sit on my face
I can't sleep for thinking
Set my head a reeling
Wanna' go to spain
Spend nights
Just sipping on nectar
And ice
No I can't sleep for thinking
Set my head a reeling
Be badder than wayne
Ole' duke that can
Eliminate a whole race
Wanna make the shit hit the fan
Can't sleep for thinking
Set my head a reeling
Even aphrodite
She's got nothing on me
Take me to the moon
Fly me to the moon
Let down my hair
On stage
Call on my man Romeo
Come and climb my braids
Reeling
Even Aphrodite
She's got nothing on me
Take me to the moon
Fly me to the moon

Rebecca

I'm walking slowly, about the sea
Lover by lover, I pass them on the beach
The sun is shining, so bright today
Your voice is singing to me, across the waves

Ah

There's a young boy, makes eyes at me
Does he mouth my name, or is this just a dream?
I know inside that I can really love
The waves are glistening, like heaven from above

And here we'll stay
And sing forever of peace
I know we found love here by the sea

Could this be heaven, could this be peace
No more than sunshine and sand and waters deep
I'd always dreamed that life could be like this
Forever high and sigh from kiss to kiss

I know I've found love here by the sea

Putty

Silly putty
What he was in this sculptress' hands
Will gone bendy
Done swaying in a rubber band
And his feet gone first
Then a desert thirst in his throat
Lips gonna burst

Cap of a bottle
Rolled down to the edge of the bin
She noticed the beer wasn't cooling him
And his feet gone first
Then a desert thirst in his throat
Lips gonna burst
The tip of her knife
Cut a nick in his vein
She said "Model today?
(you're all the same)"

Silly putty
What he was in this sculptress' hands
She cut a tension line
She had him standing
And his feet gone first
Then a desert thirst in his throat
Lips gonna burst
The tip of her knife
Cut a nick in his vein
She said "Hey hey you're all the same"

Primed and Ticking

I believe I fell from above
Primed and ticking for your love
I believe I could rub you right
Hang and dollar you day and night
I believe I could stretch your hopes
Widely as his mercy flows
Come on baby, give me your time
I've seen it in the stars, you're mine
I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I'm so young and I'm so strong
Get my blood up when I'm gone
Nothing, baby, is too big for me
Take it from his company
I could take you to heaven's highs
Trust me baby, I'll rub you right
I don't eat, I don't need to sleep
Fire and desire's good enough for me
I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I think I'm ticking
I think I'm ticking
I'm primed and ticking
I think I'm ticking

I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I believe my days will end with you

You look at me like I shot your dog
Venus, me, I'm the god of love
Don't you turn your back, beauty queen
Remember how I wiped you clean
I could stretch your wildest hopes
As widely as his mercy flows
You gorgeous stack of pancakes, you
You're going nowhere till I'm through
I believe my days will end with you
It's you

I believe my lonesome days are through
It's you

I think I'm ticking
I think I'm ticking
I'm primed and ticking
I think I'm ticking

I believe my days will end with you

Powdered Wig Machine

Won't you take this dance, this dance with me?
Oh wont you take my hand, my hand and lead?

Come on, come to me

Take off your mask, your mask, kiss me

Come on, come with me

Dance on, dance on my heart said your feet

Come on, come to me

Come on

You charm the joy the right out of me
Seduce my mind, make my heart sing

Plants and Rags

Plants and rags
Ease myself into a body- bag
Dreamt a man
He fed me fine food, he gave me shiny things
White and black
Are you looking for the sun boy?
The sun doesn't shine down here, no, in shadow
House and home
Who thought they could take away that place?
Lead us outside, and lead us out quietly

Piano Fire

I got sunburnt waiting for the jets to land
Circus people with hairy little hands
Come on boys strike up the army band
I got sunburnt waiting for the jets

How do you feel?
How do you feel?
I can't seem to see through solid marble eyes

Fiery pianos wash up on a foggy coast
Squeaky old organs have given up the ghost
Fire them up and kill the pianos
There's creaky old organs burning on the coast

How do you feel?
How do you feel?
I can't seem to breath with a rusted metal heart
I can't seem to see through solid marble eyes

One Time Too Many

He's seen me
So clearly
Come over
And get my number

He'd come round
He'd break down
Say baby
Don't ever leave me

He'd please me
He'd tease me
One time too
One time too many

One Line

Do you remember the first kiss?
Stars shooting across the sky
To come to such a place as this
You never left my mind
I'm watching from the wall
As in the streets we fight
This world all gone to war
All I need is you tonight
And I draw a line
To your heart today
'To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe'
All through the rising sun
All through the circling years
You were the only one
Who could have brought me here
And I draw a line
To your heart today
'To your heart from mine
A line to keep us safe'
