Working

Working for a living baby
Aint the life for me
Gotta an attitude
I wanna go where I wanna be
Don’t want no more put me downs
No more being your dog
Cos your about as beautiful
As a multi storey car park

Working


I’m the one that is shovelling it
While you just rake it in
I’m the one creatin it
While your he one that wins
You’re the one that benefits
The one that will succeed
I’m tired of al the bullshit
And
I’m tired of the greed

Working

I want to go where the people are shiney
Where they don’t see me
To the great big edge of tiny to be
With my beliefs
This killing joke
Got my back broke
Carrying you and yours
Tamazipan dead inside my head
What is this all for

Working

Liar

Sucked up and fucked up
By the big sell
Advertisers heaven is everybody elses hell
And you said you’d be there
But you weren’t there
And you said that you’d care
But your tongue down my throat
It says you don’t
CareWe suck it up and fuck it up and suck it up
I think you’re a liarLiar liar your bums on fire

Their telling us what to eat and what not to eat
Are you going down to McDonalds
For your Saturday afternoon treat
Multinational conglomeration developing a force-fed nation
With cheese and Es and poison stuffs
Cheese and Es a poison stuffs
We suck it up and suck it up and suck it up
I think you’re a liar
Liar liar your bums on fire

And we got political arse lickin but there’s nothing in their eyes
Their all still there well past their sellby date ain’t no big surprise
And
Of course I love ya
Of course I love ya
Of course I love ya now let me screw ya
We suck it up and suck it up and suck it up
I think you’re a liar
Liar liar your bums on fire

Mr & Mrs

You want that cos Dr duncan’s got it
You want that cos it’s ever so nice
You want that cos it’s so fasionable
But did you ever think twice

CHORUS
Mr & Mrs Acacia Avenue
Mr & Mrs Smith or Jones
No damn flesh
Just a barebleached skeleton
We let the system pick our bones

You don’t like what’s happenin in your country
Don’t like people with a different life or skin
Don’t want to hear see or talk about them
Don’t want to have to let them in

CHORUS

Ippy bippy diddley & biddley
That’s the way your mind sees it
Don’t want to hear see or talk about it
though we’re up to our necks in it

CHORUS

Let’s go on down the pub
Forget all about it
Go on down the pub and sink another jar
Stick our heads in the dark deep sand
And when we surface we won’t know where we are

CHORUS

jani x in words...

What’s a body?

I’m tired of waitin
Antisipatin
11.30 came and went
and if I stay around much longer
the police are going to do me
for loitering with intent
What’s a body to do?
You’re working late
That’s what you said
It’s just another excuse
And all the while my mood gets lonely
And I can hear the wolves
Howling at the moon
What’s a body to do?
My friend Nigel
Well he says I should go
And he’s probably right
But I remain forever hopeful
Even though I know that it wont be happening
Here tonight
What’s a body to do?

Man is bad


Well I
I don’t understand you
And I
I don’t know that I care to
For the rumours about you
Turned out to be quite true
And I’ve got nothing
But heartache
From the loving that you do
And what is a body
Suppose to do
When their lover behaves like you
Cause when you’re bad
It drives me so mad
Your womanising ain’t surprising
It just that its so
Quintessentially sad
When loves soft shoe shuffle
Becomes a perpetual scuffle
And you know
Don’t you know don’t you know
That you’ve been had
There’s no other explanation
It’s just a lost love situation
A lost love situation
When your man is bad
Well I
I know what I must do
But I …I don’t know if I care to
Though my feeling for you are decidedly blue
You’re my inclination and for your information
The kind of loving you do
Will be the ruination of you
Cause when you’re bad
It drives me everybody mad
You’re lying and you’re cheating
Are the cause of overheating and you’re so
Quintessentially sad
So why not have a change of heart
And give yourself and everyone a better start
And stop
Why don’t you stop?
Why don’t you stop?
Being so bad
Cause it’s driving me mad
You’re womanising
ain’t surprising
Its just that its so

 

Slide

slide your hand inside of my hand
Slide your body up beside mine
Feel the necessary urge that drives you
And share it with me one more time
I know about your reputation
But I wont take no typical affair
got one and only stipulation
to identify
a loving vibe
and to take one and other there
come on and slide

you tell me that you’re not the staying round kind
that you’re footloose and fancy free
but now we’ve kissed
it’s useless to resist
your wandering eyes are looking tired to me
so slide your hand inside of my hand
slide your body up nice and tight
I can love you
I can hold you make you believe
And we can rock
And we can roll
Each and every night
Come on and slide

...pineapple chunks...

could it


is it terminal
uncontrolable
or is it all about sex
am I sickening the pace quickening
whats goin’ to happen next
could it ......could it be love

I’ve read about it
in magazines
I’ve seen it on
the t.v screen
its slushy my god its smushy
but could it be love for me
could it ......could it be love

wheels are turning
lessons learnt
and plenty to go wrong
soggy condoms and misty mornings
can it last the whole night long
could it .........could it be love

I got this feelin’
it leaves me reeling
and grasping out for staws
its questionable unreliable
but it leaves me wanting more
could it ..........could it be love

...whiteman who would be god...

Don’t make me wait it’s much too late
And I refuse to sleep if the lights still on
But is it these days
What’s done is done
The colour blue is just that
So do we say lets call it a day
Or
Do we say that
We need to climb a little higher
Light a little fire
In this cold and lonely place
Oh
If it’s so then let me know
Please don’t make me wait

Don’t make me wait
It’s such an unnatural state
And it’s bound to lead
To further unease
if we leave things this way
What’s done is done
The past is just that
So do we say lets call it a day
Or do we say that
We need to shine a little brighter shed a little light on our
Dark and mysterious ways
Oh
If you choose send me the news
Please don’t make me wait

Comfortably blue

I’ve got a sleepy little feeling
I’m comfortably blue
I made a wish and the trouble is
It decided to come true
I never could expect or except
The way love rushes in
The tide has turned
And the bridge is burned
And a timeless
Scenario begins
Foolish reminiscence
Of the days and the kisses spent
How we blundered along
Till it all went wrong
And left wondering
Was it all just make believe
The thought that it could be true
Was it a game that I needed to play? Was it human nature to?
The phone interrupts the moment
My secret sacred space
Let it ring let it ring let it ring let it ring
While I savour
The bitter taste

norman and norma


norman and norma normal
i’ve seen your face before
hiding your secret intent
and hidin’ behind your closed door
you’re opininion sways of hypocricy
media error and trial
the truth stairs you in the face
but you gling to collective denial
in early anno domini you put down the profit of faith
sticks and stones gonna break his balls
didn’t hear what you had to say
I couldn’t take the risk
I just couldn’t take the risk
in times of bloody war
well your country needs you
are you doin’ what you’re feeling inside
or are you doin’ as the others do
norman and norma we’re normalif I where a super hero
I’d put all the wrongs to right
take us out of the darkness
and out into the light
I’d polish off politicians
I’d terrorise tyrants
rob from the rich to give to the poor
no more have and havenot
your cars and your guns and your missiles
I’d weld into works of art
and smash your established system
with my mega superhero fart

norman and normal we’re normal

the interloper

not for the first time baby
i’m doing it in spite of you
how you got away with it for so long got me confused
you’ve got your energy vampire tendancies
your true colours are warped
the way you behave should be against the law
don’t think you’ll get away with it .... your game is up
don’t think you’ll get away with it .... cause your goose is cooked
terry wogan type interloper sucking off my face
goota find gotta find a way to get you out of my space
gonna run gonna run gonna run away
gonna run right out on you
tired of all your bullshit and your rabid dogs abuse
and i’m feelin emotional
i’m stressed and distressed i think i’m in overkill
your the interloper baby screwing all that you can
your the interloper baby liposucking the fat of the land
don’t think you’ll get away with it .... your game is up
don’t think you’ll get away with it .... cause your completely fucked

wherever

I’ve been on the road
i’ve been on the railway
I’ve even been on a plane

i had a little sleep
then i got me a smoke

you dont wanna stop burning
and let it go round all of the time
whereever im going when i get there

i hope my heart keeps on thumpin
my bones keep on jumpin
and that i always find my own way
whereever i’m goin when i get there
i might just decided to stay

whiteman who would be god

ready and willing to take whats not yours
ready to move in while there’s warmth in the corpse
always on standby some ambush in mind
you should come with a warning ready and willing to take whats not yours
dont think that they do dont think that they dont
dont think that they will dont think that they wont
dont think your escape dont think your insane
dont try
make no attempt

aint it good to know that the moments gone
aint it bad because its the one you were depending on
aint it fine aint it fine
all we need is a little time
all we got is a little time now aint that fine

aint it a shame thats the way that its always been
aint it plain aint it plain we could do with a little change
something just a little strange now aint it plain
