Slug

Don't want to lose my shirt
Don't want to dig the dirt
Don't want you to get hurt
Can't help it, I'm a flirt 

Don't want to take your drugs
Don't want to be your slug
Don't want to overdress
Don't want to make a mess
Don't want you to confess
Not under duress

Don't want to be untrue
I want to be with you

Don't want to lose my nerve
Don't want to clothe the curve
Don't want to make you swerve
Don't want what I deserve
Don't want to change the frame
Don't want to feel your pain
Don't want to stay the same

Your Blue Room

It's time to go again
To your blue room
Got some questions to ask of you
In your blue room

The air is clean
Your skin is clear
I've had enough fun hanging 'round here
It's a different kind of conversation
Your blue room

Saw me coming
In outside
Saw me coming
Somewhere I can hide

And time is a string of pearls...your blue room
(I'm a swinger)
See the future just hanging there...your blue room
A new frame, a new perspective
Looking down on my objectives
Your instructions whatever their directions
Your blue room

Saw me coming
East by the moon
Saw me coming
Can you feel

(It's allright)

Your Blue Room

One day I'll be back...your blue room
Yeah, I hope I remember where it's at...your blue room

We see me slide
Won't you give me a home
So much for change

Zooming in
Zooming out
Nothing I can't do without
A lens to see it all up close
Magnifying what no one knows
Never in company
Never alone
No car alarm
No cellular phone

Always Forever Now

Always
Always
Always, forever, now

Always
Always
Always, forever, now

A Different Kind Of Blue

Those cars
All new
So small
Down there
From here
So high
We drift
We fly
The twlight breaking through
A different kind of blue

More lights
Blue signs
More gold
More new
So small
So high
Down there
Tonight
With the twilight breaking through
It's a different kind of blue

The twilight breaking through
It's a different kind of blue

Beach Sequence

Miss Sarajevo

Is there a time for keeping your distance
A time to turn your eyes away
Is there a time for keeping your head down
For getting on with your day

Is there a time for kohl and lipstick
A time for cutting hair
Is there a time for high street shopping
To find the right dress to wear

Here she comes
Heads turn around
Here she comes
To take her crown

Is there a time to run for cover
A time for kiss and tell
Is there a time for different colours
Different names you find it hard to spell

Is there a time for first communion
A time for East 17
Is there a time to turn to Mecca
Is there time to be a beauty queen

Here she comes
Beauty plays the clown
Here she comes
Surreal in her crown

Dici che il fiume
Trova la via al mare
E come il fiume
Giungerai a me
Oltre i confini
E le terre assetate
Dici che come fiume
Come fiume...
L'amore giunger
L'amore...
E non so più pregare
E nell'amore non so più sperare
E quell'amore non so più aspettare

It's said that a river
Finds the way to the sea
And like the river
You shall come to me
Beyond the borders
And the thirsty lands
You say that as a river
Like a river...
Love shall come
Love...
And I'm not able to pray anymore
And I cannot hope in love anymore
And I cannot wait for love anymore

Is there a time for tying ribbons
A time for Christmas trees
Is there a time for laying tables
And the night is set to freeze

Ito Okashi

Utsukushiki mononi tuite katarimasho
Chikyujono anatano sugu chikakuno
Omomukino arumononi tuite
Muneno kodoo takameru monono yoni
Kito narikaga ito okashi

Let's talk about something beautiful
On the face of this earth, something very close to you
About something that is tasteful
Like something that makes the heartbeat faster
Certainly/probably something is very interesting/pleasant

One Minute Warning

A lonesome soul
In an old black boat
A lonesome frown
What a way to go
Chasing though
The strings to hold
In in an old black coat
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul

Corpse (these chains are way too long)

Hey, see you soon
Sail through your room
I'll meet you there

Hey, be my friend
Stay 'til the end
Don't walk away
Hey, hey, hey, hey...

Hey, take 'em off
Don't talk that way
Don't feel my lover say
Hey, hey, hey...

Chains move that thing
Chains we can see
My chains way too long
Chains in this
Chains move that thing
Chains we could see
Chains are way too long
And I hear my song
Hear my song

Elvis Ate America

Elvis...white trash
Elvis...the Memphis flash
Elvis...didn't smoke hash
Would've been a sissy without Johnny Cash

Elvis...didn't dodge the draft
Elvis...had his own aircraft
Elvis...having a laugh
On the Lisa Marie in a colour photograph

Elvis...under the hood
Elvis...with Cadillac blood
Elvis...darling bud
Flowered and returned to the Mississippi mud

Elvis...ain't gonna rot
Elvis...in a Memphis plot
Elvis...he didn't hear the shot
And Dr. King died just across the lot from...

Elvis...vanilla ice cream
Elvis...girls of fourteen
Elvis...the Memphis spleen
Shooting TVs reading Corinthian's 13

Elvis...with God on his knees
Elvis...owned three TVs
Here come the killer bees
Head full of honey potato chips and cheese

Elvis...the bumper stickers
Elvis...the white knickers
Elvis...the white nigger
Ate at king burger and just kept getting bigger

Elvis...sang to win
Elvis...the battle hymn
Elvis...the battle to be slim
Elvis ate America before America ate him

Elvis...

Elvis...stamps
Elvis...necromance
Elvis...fans
Elvis...psychophants
Elvis...the public enemey
Elvis...don't mean shit to Chuck D.
Elvis...changed the center of gravity
Made it slippy

Elvis...Hitler
Elvis...Nixon
Elvis...Christ
Elvis...Mishima
Elvis...Markus
Elvis...Jackson
Elvis...the pelvis
Elvis...the psalmist
Elvis...the genius
Elvis...generous
Elvis...forgive us
Elvis...pray for us
Elvis...Aaron
Elvis...Presley
Elvis.
