Pictures of Youi've been looking so long at these pictures ofyou that i almost beleive that they're real i've been living so long with my pictures of you that i almost believe that the pictures are all i can feel remembering you standing quiet in the rain as i ran to your heart to be near and we kissed as the sky fell in holding you close how i always held close in your fear remembering you running soft through the night you were bigger and brigther than the snow and screamed at the make-beleive screamed at the sky and you finally found all your courage to let it all go remembering you fallen into my arms crying for the death of your heart you were stone white so delicate lost in the cold you were always so lost in the dark remembering you how you used to be slow drowned you were angels so much more than everything oh hold for the last time then slip away quietly open my eyes but i never see anything if only i had thought of the right words i could have hold on to your heart if only i'd thought of the right words i wouldn't be breaking apart all my pictures of you Looking So long at these pictures of you but i never hold on to your heart looking solong for the words to be true but always just breaking apart my pictures of you there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to feel you deep in my heart there was nothing in the world that i ever wanted more than to never feel the breaking apart all my pictures of you [Back to head of page] |
Lullabyon candystripe legs spiderman comessoftly through the shadow of the evening sun stealing past the windows of the blissfully dead looking for the victim shivering in bed searching out fear in the gathering gloom and suddenly! a movement in the corner of the room! and there is nothing i can do when i realise with freight that the spiderman is having me for dinner tonight quietly he laughs and shaking his head creeps closer now closer to the foot of the bed and softer than shadow and quicker than flies his arms are all around me and his tongue in my eyes "be still be calm be quiet now my precious boy don't struggle like that or i will only love you more for it's much too late to get away or turn on the light the spiderman is having you for dinner tonight" and i feel like i'm being eaten by a thousand million shivering furry holes and i know that in the morning i will wake up in the shivering cold and the spiderman is always hungry...

Just Like Heaven"Show me how you do that trickThe one that makes me scream" she said "The one that makes me laugh" she said And threw her arms around my neck "Show me how you do it And I promise you I promise that I'll run away with you I'll run away with you" Spinning on that dizzy edge I kissed her face and kissed her head And dreamed of all the different ways I had To make her glow "Why are you so far away?" she said "Why won't you ever know that I'm in love with you That I'm in love with you" You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Strange as angels Dancing in the deepest oceans Twisting in the water You're just like a dream Daylight licked me into shape I must have been asleep for days And moving lips to breathe her name I opened up my eyes And found myself alone alone Alone above a raging sea That stole the only girl I loved And drowned her deep inside of me You Soft and only You Lost and lonely You Just like heaven [Back to head of page] |
Jupiter CrashShe follows me down to the sound of the seaSlips through the sand and stares up at me Is this how it happens? Is this how it feels? Is this how a star falls? Is this how a star falls?
The night turns as I try to explain She melts
Meanwhile millions of miles away in space
Was that it?
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that was it

HighDo do do do do doDo do do do do do When I see you sky as a kite As high as I might I can't get that high And how you move The way you burst the clouds It makes me want to try And when I see you sticky as lips As licky as trips I can't lick that far But when you pout The way you shout out loud It makes me want to start And when I see you happy as a girl That swims in a world of magic show It makes me bite my fingers through To think I could've let you go And when I see you Take the same sweet steps You used to take I say I'll keep on holding you My arms so tight I'll never let you slip away Do do do do do do (x 7) Da da da da da da And when I see you kitten as a cat (ow) Yeah as smitten as that (ow) I can't get that small The way you fur The how you purr It makes me want to paw you all And when I see you (do do do do) happy as a girl That lives in a world (do do do do) of make-believe (do do do do) It makes me pull my hair all out To think I could've let you leave And when I see you Take the same sweet steps You used to take I know I'll keep on holding you In arms so tight They'll never let you go (never let you go) [Back to head of page] |
The WalkI called you after midnightThen ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door We walked around the lake And woke up in the rain And everyone turned over Troubled in their dreams again Visiting time is over And so we walk away And both play dead then cry out loud Why we always cry this way? I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything I called you after midnight Then ran until my heart burst I passed the howling woman And stood outside your door I kissed you in the water And made your dry lips sing I saw you look Like a Japanese baby In an instant I remembered everything [Back to head of page] |
Let's Go to BedDoo doo doo dooDoo doo doo doo Let me take your hand I'm shaking like milk Turning Turning blue All over the windows and the floors Fires outside in the sky Look as perfect as cats The two of us Together again But it's just the same A stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you won't say it first You think you're tired now But wait until three Laughing at the Christmas lights You remember from December All of this then back again Another girl Another name Stay alive but stay the same It's just the same A stupid game But I don't care if you don't And I don't feel if you don't And I don't want it if you don't And I won't say it If you won't say it first You can't even see now So you ask me the way You wonder if it's real Because it couldn't be rain Through the right doorway And into the white room It used to be the dust that would lay here When I came here alone Doo doo doo doo Doo doo doo doo Let's go to bed [Back to head of page] |
Dressing UpGoing under slowlyIt never seems too late Going under so slow Dressing up to kiss Dressing up to touch all this I'm dressing up to dance all week I'm dressing up to sleep Dressing up to kiss Dressing up to be all this I could eat your face I could eat all of you Oh this night will never let me go... Going under slowly Never seems too late Going under slow You'll pick me up again [Back to head of page] |
A Strange DayGIVE ME YOUR EYESTHAT I MIGHT SEE THE BLIND MAN KISSING MY HANDS THE SUN IS MMING MY HEAD TURNS TO DUST AS HE PLAYS ON HIS KNEES
AND THE SAND
AND I LAUGH AS I DRIFT IN THE WIND
AND THE SAND
MY HEAD FALLS BACK

PushGo go goPush him away No no no Don't let him stay He gets inside to stare at her The seeping mouth The mouth that knows The secret you Always you A smile to hide the fear away Oh smear this man across the walls Like strawberries and cream Its the only way to be Exactly the same clean room Exactly the same clean bed But I've stayed away too long this time And I've got too big to fit this time...

Inbetween DaysYesterday I got so oldI felt like I could die Yesterday I got so old It made me want to cry Go on go on Just walk away Your choice is made Go on go on And disappear Go on go on Away from here And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn't be me and be her Inbetween without you Without you Yesterday I got so scared I shivered like a child Yesterday away from you It froze me deep inside Come back come back Don't walk away Come back come back Come back today Come back come back Why can't you see Come back come back Come back to me And I know I was wrong When I said it was true That it couldn't be me and be her Inbetween without you Without you [Back to head of page] |
From the Edge of the Deep Green Seai fall for herwave after wave after wave it's all for her i know this can't be wrong i say (and i'll lie to keep her happy) as long as i know that you know that today i belong right here with you right here with you... and so we watch the sun come up from the edge of the deep green sea and she listens like her head's on fire like she wants to believe in me so i try put your hands in the sky surrender remember we'll be here forever and we'll never say goodbye... i've never been so colourfully-see-through-head before i've never been so wonderfully-me-you-want-some-more and all i want is to keep it like this you and me alone a secret kiss and don't go home don't go away don't let this end please stay not just for today never never never never never let me go she says hole me like this for a hundred thousand million days but suddenly she slows and looks down at my breaking face why do you cry? what did i say? but it's just rain i smile brushing my tears away... i wish i could just stop i know another moment will break my heart too many tears too many times too many years i've cried over you how much more can we use it up? drink it dry? take this drug? looking for something forever gone but something we will always want? why why why are you letting me go? she says i feel you pulling back i feel you changing shape... and just as i'm breaking free she hangs herself in front of me slips her dress like a flag to the floor and hands in the sky surrenders it all... i whish i could just stop i know another moment will break my heart too many tears too many times too many years i've cried for you it's always the same wake up in the rain head in pain hung in shame a different name same old game love in vain and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles away from home again...

Shiver and ShakeYou're just a waste of timeYou're just a babbling face You're just three sick holes that run like sores You're a fucking waste You're like a slug on the girl Oh you're useless and ugly And useless and ugly And I shiver and shake When I think of how you make me hate I want to smash you to pieces I want to smash you up and screaming I want to smash you helpless Down on the floor Smash you until you're not here anymore And I shiver and shake Shiver and shake [Back to head of page] |
Disintegrationoh i miss the kiss of treachery the shamelesskiss of vanity the soft and the black and the velvety up tight against the side of me and mouth and eyes and heart all bleed and run in thickening streams of greed as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece oh i miss the kiss of treachery the aching kiss before i feed the stench of a love for a younger meat and the sound that it makes when it cuts in deep the holding up on bended knees the addiction of duplicities as bit by bit it starts the need to just let go my party piece but i never said i would stay to the end so i leave you with babies and hoping for frequency screaming like this in the hope of the secrecy screaming me over and over and over i leave you with photographs pictures of trickery stains on the carpet and stains on the scenery songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both us knew how the ending would be... so it's all come back round to breaking apart again breking apart like i'm made up of glass again making it up behind my back again holding my breath for the fear of sleep again holding it up behind my head again cut in deep to the heart of the bone again round and round and round and it's coming apart again over and over and over now that i know that i'm breaking to pieces i'll pull out my heart and i'll feed it to anyone crying for sympathy crocodile cry for the love of the crowd and the three cheers from everyone dropping through sky through the glass of the roof through the roof of your mouth through the mouth of your eye through the eye of the needle it's easier for me to get closer to heaven than ever feel whole again i never said i would stay to the end i knew i would leave you with babies and everything screaming like this in the hole of sincerity screaming me over and over and over i leave you with photographs pictues of trickery stains on the carpet and stains on the memory songs about happiness murmured in dreams when we both of us knew how the end always is... how the end always is...

Endi think i've reached that pointwhere giving up and going on are both the same dead end to me are both the same old song i think i've reached that point where every wish has come true and tired disguised oblivion is everything i do please stop loving me please stop loving me i am none of these things i think i've reached that point where all the things you have to say and hopes for something more from me are just games to pass the time away please stop loving me please stop loving me i am none of these things i think i've reached that point where every word that you write of every blood dark sea and every soul black night and every dream you dream me in and every perfect free from sin and burning eyes and hearts on fire are just the same old song please stop loving me please stop loving me i am none of these things i am none of these things i am none of these things [Back to head of page] |
