My Insatiable One
|

To the Birds
|
|
don't take your life, 'cos your bicycle won't fly you may be going to heaven tonight don't spoil the show for the love of some albino you won't be going to heaven alone I see her by the window waiting every night so I wouldn't give a shit if my bicycle's in bits I think I'm going to heaven on it I see her by the window pour the poison from you I'll go there through the window in my sixteen hole boots and I'll sing to the birds here at my side and I'll sing to the birds who will save my life don't take your life 'cos your bicycle won't fly you may be going to heaven tonight I wouldn't give a shit if your bicycle's in bits I think I'm going to heaven on it I see her by the window, and I see there's a day we'll walk out through the traffic and pour the poison away so I'll sing to the birds here at my side and I'll sing to the birds who will save my life I will lie down for her |

Where the Pigs Don't Fly
|
|
out in the sticks, out in the stickiness they're chasing round in stolen ice cream vans they're sparking up with someone, oh they're covering their jumpers in roses, oh where the pigs don't fly, oh out over there, out in the sticky wire fire, your royal stickiness, your highness I've heard there's someone saying "I do" and banging out an old piano tune where the pigs don't fly, I do where the pigs don't fly, I do I do |
|
4.
He's Dead
|
|
I wake up every day, but I don't want it that way take my thoughts to the roundabout 'cos me and them, we like to get out oh, what you do in your head, you do in your head oh, if he is dead he said he had a horrible house I looked in it and learned to shut my mouth he said I had the look of a son with all the love and poison of London oh, what you do in your head, you do in your head oh, if he is dead oh, I'll watch you do in your head you'll do in your head oh, if he is dead |
|
5.
The Big Time
|
|
i watch the slow hand kill the day i see my starring role tick away i watch the skyline for him to come and when he comes along, we'll be gone... ... and we'll go into the city, into the light we'll be there in the headlines, there overnight 'cos this is the big time, this is the way now he's in the big time, he'll show you the way this is the big time, this is the way now he's in the big time... and your in the way. |
|
6.
High Rising
|
|
you'll hide among the covers and wave as the aeroplanes go by there's nothing to say when you sleep all day, but "bye-bye". your mind will find another, and that's where the days have gone, and all you can hear is a stereo somewhere playing a pig-of-a-song and you'll know her, know her, when she comes. when you turn the light out, light out, she'll come. she called you from across the city, you hired a car to crawl, but with the high rise still in your eyes you wonder who's out there at all. and you'll know her, know her, when she comes. when you turn the light out, light out, she'll come. when you turn the light out, she'll come stop making me older, start making me new. |

The Living Dead
|
|
where's all the money gone? - i'm talking to you, all up the whole in your arm, is the needle a much better screw? but oh, what will you do alone? 'cos i have to go. where is this life of fun that you promised me? nothing here works but your works and i mean it i have to leave but oh, what will you do alone? 'cos i have to go. if i was the wife of an acrobat would i look like the living dead, boy? you're on the wire and can't get back, let's talk about the living dead could have had a car, could have had it all, could have walked in the sky but we stare at the wall. i know where the money's gone - i know what you do 'cos i've seen the hole in your arm and the needle's a much better screw but oh, what will you do alone? 'cos i have to go. |

My Dark Star
|
|
in a hired car she will come to England from the sea, and as the tide flows the London snows will come. and from the skyline shines the lies of the government's singular history so in a hired world she will buy a gun And she will come from India aith a love in her eyes that say, oh how my dark star will rise in rented gear 2000 years we waited for a man but with a tattooed tear she'd die for us all tonight. and she will come from India with a gun at her side, or she will come from Argentina with her cemetery eyes that say oh, how my dark star will rise, ... and she will rise. |

we are only young, but we style our future with a cattle gun and we aren't idle rich, so we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch cause when the firelight shocks like a cop shop pyre we'll sack the politics for premonition and fire and we'll move like nureyev at night coast to coast, side to side shines the lies of fine enlightened minds coast to coast we are only young but we style out future in the shadow of guns we are not idle rich so we smile for tomorrow with a bitch of an itch cause when the stylised kick of the filmstar whip cracks down on the millions, cracks the kids on their hips then we'll move like nureyev that night coast to coast, side to side shines the lies of fine enlightened minds coast to coast, side to side feel the steel that shines outside the blinds coast to coast, side to side blades engraved with babies' names while pylons hide the suicide coast to coast, side to side shines the light of fine enlightened minds coast to coast, side to side feel the steel that shines outside the blinds coast to coast, side to side blades engraved with babies' names while pylons hide the suicides |
