Made Glorious
Well look at you
With your angel face
And your angel wings
Oh the mirror sings
Well look at you
Powdered gold and peacock blue
Belladonna in your eyes
Finish with a line of silver
Made glorious
With a line of silver
You're magnificent
You're radiant
You're magnificent
Exceptional
And a bow to the mirror

A Room With No View
Reflections
Of another place
The face to the glass
The glass to the face
Take a poison bubble bath
Read about it all
Dip your pen into the truth
Write it on the wall
Do you want to be alone? (who wrote this?)
In a room with no view
(oh god... Who wrote this?)
Do you really want to be alone?
In a room with no view
(who wrote this script for you?)
You want love and fear ~ in a single room
In a single pill ~ in a single bed
At a single stroke
The things unsaid
Hold it to your head
It was never yours
I want doesn't get!
Do you want to be alone?
(who wrote this?)
In a room with no view
(oh god... Who wrote this?)
Do you really want to be alone?
In a room with no view
(no no no no)
Decisions
Undefined
Don't read it, don't feel it
Don't make it true
Don't dream it
who wrote this for you?
How did you end up here?
History is turning queer
How did you end up here?
This mystery is clear
Do you want to be alone?
(who wrote this?)
In a room with no view
(oh god... Who wrote this?)
Do you really want to be alone?
In a room with no view
(who wrote this script for you?)

Of Roses
Psychokiller psychokiller
You get me hot
Then you leave me cold
This game's getting old
And here's another grave in a basement
And here's another
Case to be closed
One more red night
Of roses
One more mob under torchlight
Looking - everywhere
But under - their noses
And the psychokiller who lives next door
Washes the car, mows the lawn
Takes the dog out for a walk
It's nothing personal
The psychokiller who lives next door
Washes the car, mows the lawn
Takes the dog out for a walk
Sees you're all alone
And it's one more red night of roses
Was it someone you knew
Who
Stops to chat buys a map
Feeds the birds by the lake
Smiles and waves at the officers
In the park so ordinary
The psychokiller who lives next door
Washes the car, mows the lawn
Takes the dog out for a walk
Sees you're all alone
And it's one more red night of roses
One more red night of roses

Tokyo Flow
Ha
Kawa no hotori no hanabi
Neko no inai machi
Neon sainn ni hikaru ame
Hai
In a box in Tokyo, looking out at glowing rain
Back leg rhythm and low bone
Bring on the maids and a bullet train
It's a brief encounter
In room 753
The ceremony made so much sense
But her eyes were too big for me
Tokyo flow
The fireworks
Through walls of tears
And we have become
The sum our fears
And some of our fears
Lit the fuse
And some of my fears
Point to you
Made us believe
There's nothing to lose
And by the river
The tide has turned
Just a thin film between us
Red light flashing
And the Bank of Venus
Is crashing
Neon
Glowing rain
Everyone's afraid
Bring on the maids
Bring on the maids
Tokyo
Flow

Ramming Speed
When I was the size of a bottle of rum
I was sold to the devil by my evil ol' mum
Sold for the price of a barrel of gin
A handful of baccy and a silver pin
Captain Kidd for it was he
Raised me up and we're off to sea
Drummer on a galley of 64 blades
I was bound for the Spanish main
Took to the life most studiously
With the evil deeds of robbery
But my delight was to raise the beat
And get us up to ramming speed
Ramming speed ramming speed
Haul away boys it's ramming speed
Ramming speed ramming speed
Haul away boys to ramming speed
Ramming speed ramming speed
Take it up boys to ramming speed
Ramming speed ramming speed
Take it up boys to ramming speed
Promoted myself by way of the knife
Dog eat dog is a pirate's life
Spent my money and spilled my seed
I hauled away and rattled the sheets
Ramming speed ramming speed
Haul away boys to ramming speed
Ramming speed ramming speed
Take it up boys to ramming speed
Ramming speed ramming speed
Take it up boys to ramming speed
Well truth be told this life grew old
Excitement died and my heart grew cold
As it does
Then on a beach in Madagasky
An island girl happened to me
She was pretty and warm and real
I went overboard head and heels
I was saved by an island girl
Pretty and pure as a deep sea pearl
We made sweet sweet love
She even said that she'd be true
True to you, I'll wait for you
I was away for half a year
Raiding the coast and causing fear
And I returned full of pride
To find my girl full of child
Laughing with another buccaneer
In my anger my course was clear
I rose up full of pride and power
I took my pistol put a fiery flower
Behind her ear ~ oh! My dear!
Put my cutlass through her lover
And so she died beside her brother
And so it ends rather tragically
Well what d'you expect?

Little Punk Thing
A little voice in the back of my head
Makes me question what you said
Money and power don't make it true
Well maybe I don't believe in you
It's a little punk thing in the back of my brain
A little punk thing keeping me sane
It's just a little punk thing
Hey you whatcha gonna do? Lie like a banker?
It's a little punk thing
Hey you whatcha gonna do? Lie like a banker?
Well everything you do is wrong, there's no escape from Babylon
It's only the children of the bankers that can afford to be good looking
A little lie here and there
Give them doubt and sell them fear
Make them do your job for free
Call it the Big Society
It's a little punk thing in the back of my brain
Hey you whatcha gonna do? Lie like a banker?
A little punk thing keeping me sane
Hey you whatcha gonna do? Lie like a banker?
It's just a little punk, a little punk thing
I'm a rebel without applause
Don't worry you'll get yours
Don't need it, I don't need it
Don't b'lieve it, don't bleed it
With your unmanned drone planes
Sea full of oil
Put the price up make my blood boil
You refer to the book of rules
It's the one you wrote and put in schools
Then you come round here in designer gear
Made by kids in India
It's a little punk thing in the back of my brain
A little punk thing keeping me sane
It's just a little punk thing
Hey you whatcha gonna do? Lie like a banker?
It's a little punk thing
Hey you whatcha gonna do? Lie like a banker?

Dandelion King
So here we are
You and me
And here we are
The twenty second century
And you can be the queen of America
And I will be the dandelion king
And you can cut the head off
Everyone you hate
And watch them blow away in the wind
The twenty second century
Here we are
Twenty second century
Here we are
And I will be the queen of America
And you can be the dandelion king
Here we are
We're ahead of our time
From the caveman to the spaceman
Everybody's dna is coming out to play
And the dandelion king
Says everything's ok
Everything's ok
From the caveman to the spaceman
We repeat the same old thing
And all the ghosts are standing next to me
With the dandelion king
And here we are, here we are, once again
We're ahead of our time
We're ahead of your time

2024
In the year 2024
The tallyman at your door
Tax the poor to build a wall
Around the rich save them all
In the city the overlords
Throw the future overboard
Everything they've ever bought
Is locked and loaded
Waiting in the zeppelins
Moored above the house of sin
Leather guards won't let you in
(locked and loaded)
Deep within the underground
The violent heart of a violet sound
Dreaming of stolen higher ground
Trading as the waters rise
Relentless sacrifice
To the golden idols
And freemarket gods
(as the waves come in)
In the year 2024
The tallyman at your door
Tax the poor to build a wall
Around the rich and save them all
From drowning
As the waters rise
Your future comes as no surprise

London's Drowning
Mind the gap
There's a wall of water coming up the strand
There's a wave of anger fowing through this land
Behind the barricades there's a violet sound
Pumping out of the underground
The night that london drowned
London's drowning ~ and the waves come in
And the waves come in ~ and the waves come in
Everyone fall down
London's drowning ~ and the waves come in
And the waves come in ~ and the waves come in
Everyone fall down
Well they took all your money ~ took it and spent it all
Called it capital investment ~ building a fucking wall
London's drowning ~ and the waves come in
And the waves come in ~ and the waves come in
Everyone falling down
London's drowning ~ and the waves come in
And the waves come in ~ and the waves come in
Everyone fall down now
And the rats are leaving ~ the fattest rats remain
King Canute in a business suit ~ circling the drain
And the money makers ~ and the movers and shakers
Wait for the very last minute ~ look out
London's drowning ~ everyone falls down
London's drowning ~ everyone falls down
London's drowning ~ watch the wall fall down
London's drowning ~ watch the rain pour down
London's drowning ~ in a sea of sin
London's drowning ~ and the karma kicks in
London's drowning ~ as the walls cave in
London's drowning ~ and so it begins
London's drowning ~ in a sea of sin
London's drowning ~ and so it begins
And the waves come in ~ and the waves come in
And the waves come in
London's drowning

We Are All Gods III
We are all gods
Ride the sun across the sky
This world will live or die
By our will
Ride the sun across the sky
This world will live or die
By our will, by our will
Does anybody here feel the same as me
Does anybody here think the same as me
Does anyone need the things I need
Does anyone out there feel like me
Does anybody here feel the same as me
We are all gods
It's all connected
You want to follow me
Down into the labyrinth
See the things that I see
Share the madness that I feel
You want to wake up
Smell the burning air
You may be alive but you're no longer living
You know that state of grace
And the nail is not forgiving
We are all gods
Some of us are circling, some of us are blind,
Some of us are angry and some of us are kind
Some of us are confused, some of us are dying,
Some of us don't care, we are all gods
We are all gods

Road Of Bones
There'll be tears ~ we love to cry
Salt the earth so nothing grows inside ~ inside
There's a desert waiting for rain
Nothing grows ~ except the pain
Love lies bleeding ~ on the road of bones
In the distance the hills promise snow
Flowers heaped don't stop you'll never start
Every step breaks your heart
Another perfect day to die
There'll be tears ~ we love to cry
Another perfect day to die
Inside ~ inside
There's a maze of alleyways
But this can only go one way
We walk the line ~ on the road of bones
In the dust the girls write their names
With the boys ~ it remains ~ eternally
Forever ~ until it rains
No sleep, ~ a heart shaped wreath
Nothing worse than a bed of roses
Love will kill you
Every day is the day of the dead

Discoboy Must Die

Ladies and gentlemen ~ and ladies.
Introducing to you
A night of delectable and spectacular entertainment
Will you cast your eyes upon the dancefloor
Will you give us your rapt and undivided attention?
Presenting to you ~ for one night only
Discoboy must die ~ on a Saturday night
In his crisp white suit
Discoboy's every inch the Shakespearian hero
Provoking jealousy and tragedy
With his funky groove ~ Rosie
As the red satin curtain falls
Discoboy hits the floor
A thousand deaths in the mirrorball
The crowd cry out they want more
Discoboy Must Die
Discoboy must die ~ on a Saturday night
And high in the gods of the ancient theatre
Now a discoteque ~ the demonic human lamprey
Focused a diabolic machine disguised as a spotlight
The deathray
His hatred for discoboy was all consuming
He lit him up
He's on fire!
As the glitterball spins
The light in his eyes goes dim
The wallflowers turn away and cry
Boo hoo ~ boo hoo
Discoboy must die ~ on a Saturday night

Dress 4 U
I wore this dress 4 U
I knew you'd come
Same time every night
I'm standing here alone
I wore this dress 4 U
All 4 U
Just 4 U
I remember every time you called
I treasure every conversation
I'm waiting for your call
How could you make me wait so long
I wore this dress 4 U
All 4 U
Just 4 U
The gifts you sent don't satisfy
The parts of me that make you cry
You need the real thing so do I
And that is why
I wore this dress 4 U
You like it when i fight
Struggle bite get out the knife
You love the pure white dress you said
And now it's red
Now it's red

Bottle Of Poison
You really shouldn't talk to me
Fear and loathing in Salt Lake City
Murder in Utah
I'm a bottle with a label on it
The label says poison
Poison
Committing suicide with a typewriter
Only a mescal worm could lie like her
Take it from me
Oh yeah
There's no antidote
There's no cure
Unless it's you
Take it from me
Poison
Oh
Yeah
I'm a bottle with a label on it
The label says poison
You really shouldn't talk to me
Neither should I

My Demons
From the corner of my eye ~ from the corner of my eye
From the corner of my eye ~ from the corner of my eye
These are my demons ones that I've grown
These are my demons from seeds that I've sewn
These are my demons leave them alone
These are my demons go get your own
Get your own get your own
From the corner of my eye ~ from the corner of my eye
Black cats and spiders ~ whippings and apologies
Things with wings and tentacles lining up to follow me
Look who's coming through the floor
A mile wide and an inch deep
We've seen you before ~ another promise that I failed to keep
These are my demons ones that I've grown
These are my demons from seeds that I've sewn
These are my demons leave them alone
These are my demons go get your own get your own
Get your own get your own get your own get your own
Sharks in the shadows ~ friends in the light
Wriggling fish in angel delight
The steeple beasts are climbing down
Lock up your thoughts we're comin' to town
Demons ~ demons ~ demons ~ demons
Bitter pills and sweet sweet poison
Powders and plants and asteroids
All the wrong books all the wrong choices
Lack of allegiance from my toys
From the corner of my eye ~ from the corner of my eye
Demons ~ demons ~ demons ~ demons
(extra verse ~
Alcohol chocolate and nicotine
Caffeine monsters and a sex machine
Bankrupt clowns and tribute bands
Facebook fakes and final demands)
