Sneer Sorry but I can't bear to be in the same room with you longer than necessary you can still drag me under with a sneer or a smile Politeness just exhausts me would you like to see me flaggin' wave the chequered one here comes the finishing line It's no good for an iron heart with a cynical halo supposed good times when again? oops I forgot them Perhaps right here right now would you like a little humiliation come to think of it what was your name again baby? You know what I mean   2. Manic (is a state of mind) Manic is at my doorstep looking in with bloodshot eyes cursing if I ignore him he loves to sway when he spins his lines Come out and play is all he can say Manic he's the main man the leading main man the knight in shining dishonour it can be thrilling if i am willing but I got to want it I really got to want it Manic thrills me while he kills me in my sleep he does things that you just would not believe Manic, he's not sweet oh, he's such a cheater but i think I've got the best of him 'cause he only comes round when I do call he only comes when I let him in Manic is something that you'd like to see he's not the sort you'd take home to your folks for a cuppa tea ladies and gentlemen this is better than strip-tease 3. Geraldine Geraldine went down to see herself was very late when she arrived she knew she had metamorphosed into someone else's very own She said, "I wonder if I scream loud enough will I recall the night I'd left myself behind?" I doubt it Geraldine looks like you've gone and blown your mind She was lost in a cold light although it was quite warm outside she thought if no-one could ever touch her she would be bound to be alright Geraldine she got caught in between something like now and then once or twice there were times when she might have put a finger on it to never ever ride as high as you would like to think that you could go Geraldine you forgot one thing this is your show Geraldine take some time if you want to you can go there in your mind, apparently there are diamonds they're a girl's best friend if diamonds are a girl's best friend then use them well to sharpen all your claws it opens doors and lots of sores My Geraldine    3. Only One Option   Take my love to the water watch me flouder in the makings of my own words clasp my hand as I do wander in the valley of no return There's a massive sign above you - saying "welcome to the beautiful suburbs" and there is no-one else around you except a thousand others like you You've only got one option feed me Itch the feeling of surreal beauty torrents of love turn to hate in Grace's world you only have one option just take it before it's too late And everything it just feels so good and everything it just tastes so good everything it just looks so good it burns my eyes, burns my eyes burn it, burn it  5. Merry Mary Merry Mary moves with me late at night I know she leaves dust in my eyes Merry Mary so elegantly leaving lots of bits and pieces and a couple of keys she says "don't follow me" She left me a silver spoon after reading my palm she said "you'll have to sing for your supper you'll have to sing hard" so I do Mary knew Merry Mary I noticed you never grew anything at all had nothing new she said "I could be you" She left a couple of white walls and a single cross she took with her a couple of secrets which now are lost I never asked her anything but she knew what she knew 6. Touch Greenstone Save your prayers for someone who needs them put a little light in the direction of someone who cares hold me now not two weeks later love me know not when you're gone And I have often wanted change I never thought it would come so far And I will never touch Greenstone again not ever Say what you will say it and mean it there's no-one else around to prove you wrong and I have often wanted change I never thought it would come so far Don't fight it it's gone 7. Pure Pleasure Didn't mean to be the experiment didn't mean to make it suffer spread out on a slab inject pure pleasure And all that it entails and all your latest fantasies can be relieved in just a blink of a second If you really really want it you can just go out and get it ignore the consequences pure pleasure No one else has a mind they are devoid of any thoughts of their own when you're in pursuit of happiness Maybe they are receptacles maybe they are susceptible to all of your thousands and millions of wishes Isn't that the norm now all the images you've been grasping shooting right out at you they're shooting right out at you until you're numb Pure pleasure is blind 8. Thinking It was reason that stopped me from wanting to put my arms around your neck and squeeze 'til the air had gone It was reason that stopped me from wanting you there is no point wanting something that's already gone Think of me sometime when you're out chasing circles I'm trying hard to be cute but I wouldn't waste my time When I came down I was very graceful was I never was a debutante more like a lead weight falling on a snail One thing you taught me the rest I'm going to forget is that nothing lasts forever so I'm not going to hold my breath any longer Think of me sometimes when your head starts expanding I'm trying hard to be cute but I wouldn't waste my time And if I'm real good If I'm really good maybe we could do something like I don't know meet for a cup of coffee and Think of me sometime when you're out about grazing I'm trying hard to be cool but I wouldn't waste my time The state of you 9. Moon's On Fire He calls me crazy to my face says it out loud with a smile after a while I believe it I really love it You know he's not that nice at all in fact he's sickly sweet and all that it encompasses Set the moon on fire it will fall down on your lap sometime it's the best thing I ever did I wouldn't lie would I? In this feeble life he's charmed charmed enough to make me churn honey laced with cyanide and an apple filled with worms taught to wallow in my time bask in every bit of light and the heat is so exciting and of course there's always sunburn  10. Ice Gentle sparkle, so serene this is the most beautiful thing I have ever seen and a good friend took me there all I could do was stop and stare into this place this space Oh I'm on ice and I can't move anywhere it's so cold here on ice I've seen it and the sound that it makes could turn the warmest blood into the coldest of crystal the hue of the place is such that it could break your heart in two if you would let it On ice the ghosts go stalking start to re-arrange your mind they get your mind will you go down to the lakeside search out the meaning salvage what's left you start disbelieveing will you, oh will you go down with me 11. Tremble It can make me tremble like no other soul that I have found trembling with pleasure or is this rage to be beautiful and substanceless it's how I'd like to be but you know You can't handle it can you it rocks the foundation and makes you gloomy and I don't want to see you blue Is this far away enough forget forgot what I was thinking if this is far away enough remind me to think in terms of never not forever Forbidden fruit is dangerous in that it has the tendency to dull the senses one by one then paralyse the side of the face So if you can't handle it then you should stay away from it it's true the hangover is long and it is cruel I am really happy here Is this far away enough forget forgot what I was thinking if this is far away enough remind to think that I am clever   12. It's Not Me If you've ever been to the edge and back again 'cause someone has taken you there then you'll know what I mean you'll have seen where I have been the haze turns your backbone to jelly It's not me Threw myself at a brick wall and I did some crazy things and I tampered with something out of bounds And I knew it would hurt like you know it will burn when you attempt to pick up soggy metal It's not me, it's not me this is not happening to me Pretend to be someone else it gets pretty easy looks like I'll see the sunrise this way And the daylight breaks a mirror in this glass show and tell a freak with no hidden graces
