SUBSIDE

i could beat any sloth at the limbo
yeah i could end any rat-race without trouble
the television's ablaze
with talk of the inane
but safely sat in self centre
i listen perversely
i don't have to be dressed
no i don't have to be clean
i only need four walls
and the echo of traffic
with the RGB ambiently glowing
don't you knock on my door
or bother calling my name
i don't have to be approved
i don't need to be renewed
i'm just waiting to subside
i could beat any sloth at the limbo
yeah i could end any rat-race without trouble
the television's ablaze
with talk of the inane
but sitting here safely selfish
i listen adversely
i don't have to be smart
no i don't have to impress
i only need red light
and my blurred yellow vision
with the VDU
erotically glowing
don't you knock on my door
or bother calling my name
i don't have to be approved
i don't need to be renewed
i'm just waiting to subside
if i could shake these blues
if i could stop this ruse
i would be over the moon
if i could shake these blues
if i could stop this ruse
i would be over the moon
if i could shake these blues
if i could stop this ruse
i would be over the moon
if i could shake these blues
if i could stop this ruse
i would be over the moon
over the moon
i'm approaching a state of confusion
crossing paths with another dimension
the television is on
the day draws to a close
though solipsistically sleepy
there's no world past my pillow
...television's ablaze
the television's ablaze
the television's ablaze
the television's ablaze
haze

she calls sometimes to see how sister's getting along
says she's leaving for home
says the water's gonna cure her
i said whatever makes you smile
she said...
that's the way i am
scared to go alone
this is what i know
please take me home
makes plans to pack all her cases
she does this each year
he said if only she was happy
i said if only she would smile
she said...
that's the way i am
scared to go alone
this is what i know
please take me home
that's my guardian
the only one i know
i'll take you home

PET
03:40
|
|

|
i'm a full grown human
free in my thought
though you keep on bidding
i won't be owned or bought
and i can't be polished
or hung on the wall
though you see a prize
i'm not part of the score
if you tie my collar
i'll bite through the leash
if you tell me heel
you'll never see peace
cause i'm not your trophy
or bootlicking pet
poured into a mould
and left to set
can you not see i've got a mind
can you not see i've got a mind
to give as good as i get
and hold the line
if you tie my collar
i'll bite through the leash
if you tell me heel
you'll never see peace
cause i'm not your trophy
or bootlicking pet
poured into a mould
and left to set
you can roll your eyes
and fold up your arms
but i won't get fingered
or fall in your palm
don't you try tomorrow
or some other day
take your expectations
out of my way
can you not see i've got a mind
can you not see i've got a mind
to give as good as i get
and hold the line
oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
yeah yeah yeah
i'm a full grown human
free in my thought
though you keep on bidding
i won't be owned or bought
and i can't be polished
or hung on the wall
though you see a prize
i'm not part of the score

KICK THE HABIT
04:14
|
|
||
|
stand up
take part
the hardest bit is done
shine out
set sail
don't let your shutters down
animate it
put your figment into motion
don't minimise it
but render life
personify your mark
caught in a spiral
of negativity
you're feeling trapped
but you know that
you have to
have to
kick the habit
back straight
chin up
and face it eye to eye
don't shy
don't blink
or luck gets lost to time
don't conceal it
let emotions meet fruition
never ignore it
but jump the wall
success will warm your feet
caught in a spiral
of negativity
you're feeling trapped
but you know that
you have to
have to
kick the habit
sample:
there's so little love in the world
when it's kept a secret it's wasted don't you see
there's so little love in the world
when it's kept a secret it's wasted
when it's kept a secret it's wasted
stand up
take part
make a
small start
stand up
take part
and render life
personify your mark
caught in a spiral
of negativity
you're feeling trapped
but change can set you free
caught in a spiral
of negativity
you're feeling trapped
but you know that
you have to
have to
kick the habit
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
you have to
have to
kick the habit
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
you have to
have to
kick the habit
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
you have to
have to
kick the habit
oh-oh-oh
oh-oh-oh
you have to
have to
kick...

COUNTERPART
02:34
|
|
||
|
such condescension acts to deafen me
amid suppression tantrums boil
i'm reeling at your sly castration
command is on your list of chores
maturity is but a product
identity is context bound
i'm running from domestication
growing wild and disconcerned
defining living phase by phase
deny what came to pass
once stood a child without desire for omnipotence
in the absence of all reason
in those times of failing health
with no objective vindication
how do you compare to your counterpart?

why can't i leave you alone
i always want to be wherever you'll be
but i know that if i was there
i'd just sit in a corner and stare
why can't i leave you alone
when it's me who gave it up
why can't i leave you alone
i always want to hear whatever you say
but i know if i heard you at all
i'd just sit in a corner and bawl
why can't i leave you alone
when it's me who gave it up
why can't i leave you alone
when you tell me i should stop
and when i'm in my room
i dream about your grip
hands around my neck
inhaling nitrate
why can't i leave you alone
i always want to know who you're taking to bed
but i know if i knew who it were
i'd have to drink it all into a blur
why can't i leave you alone
when it's me who gave it up
why do i pick up the phone
when you say bother me not
and when i'm in my room
i dream about your grip
hands around my neck
inhaling nitrate
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)
why can't i leave you alone
(when i know i should)

IT'S UP TO YOU
02:34

going for a walk
you don't like it when you're mean to her
gotta cool it down
you don't like it when you lose control
it's up to you
when you're down on your luck
it's up to you
to run around the block
going for a walk
you don't like it when you're mean to her
gotta cool it down
you don't like it when you lose control
it's up to you
when you're down on your luck
it's up to you
to run around the block
it's up to you
when you're down on your luck
it's up to you
to run around the block
it's up to you

LONG PAST CARING
02:56

|

why would you make me less lonely
why would you think you complete me
i'm completely bemused
i'm too far removed
from notions of romance
why would you think you can save me
what makes you think you can change me
i'm too close to the walls
of my narrow corridor
to hear your beck and call
what makes you think that i'd chase you
what makes you think that i need you
there's too much apathy
drowning these cold feet
drowning desire
why would i need to be mothered
who says i need taking care of
i can make my bed
i can lie in it
with each of its mistakes
you're digging and fishing just making deals
to no kind of avail
any love that I once had is out of stock
there's nothing for sale
i'm past caring
i'm past caring
i'm past caring
long past caring
i'm past caring
long past caring
i'm past caring
long past caring
i'm past caring
i'm past caring
i'm past caring
long past caring
i'm past caring
long past caring
i'm past caring
long past caring
