Doggy Show
03:01
|
|||
|
There's tents and stalls and blaring music in the air
Young kids and pets and bunting hanging everywhere
My dirty mutt, Rex, is yapping at my side
It's exciting and fun at the doggy show
And here you are now standing right in front of me
Your pretty pooch is proud and permed and pedigree
Well Mr Rex starts sniffing her behind
Then he's doing the deed at the doggy show
I see you, you see me
We both smile, it's cheesy
The dogs keep doing just what dogs will do together
Well there's you and here's me
Why don't you, why don't we
Follow their lead, we have the opportunity to.
This Lucy Belle has fully floated Rex's boat
He loves her smell and yes, he loves her shiny coat
He needs some more so he's chasing her about
Then he's doing the deed at the doggy show. Go, go.
Bow, bow-wow-wow...
You fled the scene dragging Lucy off to be confined but
Go where you will there's still a scent that's left behind
Well Mr Rex finds her hidden at the door
Then he's doing the deed at the doggy show -
once more!
Bow, bow-wow-wow...
I see you, you see me ...
Well dogs will bark and cats - they like to run and hide
It's only sleepy moles that like to stay inside
Say what you like but it cannot be denied
It's exciting and fun at the doggy show.

Babel
04:37

The citizens of Babel
Basking in the sunshine
By most accounts they're doing fine
Trying to get ahead
A message comes by cable
Their vision is heretical
They're way too ecumenical
For the comfort of the Lord
Behold! The damning of humanity
Behold! The dividing of a world
Behold! The fighting and insanity
For swift, and harsh is the judgment
of the Lord
Oh citizens of Babel
Raising our new tower
Rediscovering our power
To advance the common cause
Reaching ever higher
Now heaven's closing in on us
Will we witness again the mistrust
Of the Lord the world forgot?
Behold! The damning of humanity
Behold! The dividing of a world
Behold! The fighting and insanity
For swift, and harsh is the judgment
of the Lord

Anarchy Incorporated
04:09
|
|||
|
Dreadlocks and hemp pants
Feral cats and chicks
Finance your anger
synergise and hypnotise
The general population
Clean your message up
For public consumption
Anarchy, it's anarchy,
Anarchy incorporated
Each generation
Holds its endless meetings
In the name of democracy
We have mild effect
Never pose a threat
And masturbation comes in handy
Anarchy...
Clothe your anger in pinstripe
Internet your argument
When anarchy grew up
Got middle aged and bald
It bought an Audi and a beach house
Anarchy...
The goths with spots
Are buying houses
And the trendies now have children
Orange dragons
Have become orange socks
We smile to keep the vomit down
Anarchy...

Lazy
03:47
|

You're lazy - I'm racing all over town
You're crazy - you think that I'll move the world
That I'll shift the Earth for you
While I'm racing all over town
Lazy - that I'll dress you and bow and smile
That I will serve you
I should really go out and get some fresh air
Do you hate me?
Is hard work now taboo?
Lord save me
Smoking pot is all you do
The things you put me through
While I'm racing all over town
Lazy - you always act the clown
But you just make me frown
No burning spark, no energy
No will to live, no anything
Find something to do
Work at something and don't just stew
Even three-toed sloths
All green with moss
Are not as lazy as you are
So lazy - I'm falling far behind
You're crazy - you think that I'll move the world
That I'll shift the Earth for you
While I'm racing all over town
Lazy - that I'll dress you and bow and smile
That I will serve you
Now leave me alone and let me play my solo

All Alone
03:16
|
|||
|
Peace comes in the morning
After one more night of restless turning
Still, its worked its magic
Freed me from my worries
Then I look beside me
And I find that I am all alone
In the midday madness
Crowds of people rushing all around me
I forget my business
And I think about you
I've a moment's comfort
But I know that I am all alone
All alone
The beauty of the world
Was tied up with your hair
The brightness of each sunny day
Came with your smiling face
And there was a time there for a while
That you used to play along
But no longer do you humour me
And I'm left desperate and alone
Peace comes in the morning …

Tummy Yum Thai
02:20
|
|||
|
The way to our hearts is through our tummies
So when our tummies get hungry
We gather our spending money
And head on out
We're going to Tummy Yum Thai
We'll chat and eat stir fry
We're going to Tummy Yum Thai
Curry puffs are free!
The mee grob and, chicken curry and,
Ginger soup are fine
The mango salad with the peanut sauce quite
Makes my tummy sigh
Ruben goes for the noodles and stuff
And Emma loves her soups
But I love the chilli
As it makes me go silly
As it burns passing through my guts
We're going to Tummy Yum Thai...
The competition has ye olde steaks
And veal parmigiana with fries
But sauce for sauce
Against the best of Thai cooking
It all just tastes like balls
We're going to Tummy Yum Thai ...
Think I'll have the soup
And the curry puffs
And the sweet chilli chicken
It's been a while... Hmmm, yum.

Into The Sea
02:13
|
|||
|
Into the sea, into the sea
I throw the memories of you and me
I commit our future that might have been
To the cold embraces of the deep and wide
blue sea
Deep in the sea, deep in the sea
With gangster bodies and Titanic's key
I leave my dream and my attempts to please
To the Nine Billow Maidens
And their home in the deep dark freeze
Another love tale has struggled to its end
Another woman now is no more than a friend
Still I have time to drink my cup of tea
And smile at what might lie ahead
In pages still unwritten starring me
Far out at sea, out in the sea
Somewhere the remnants of you and me
Are stripped to the bones by baby seals
And mermaids with taste for defeated sailor
meat
Into the sea, into the sea
I throw the memories of you and me
I leave my hopes and my misguided dreams
To the care and mercy of the wild eternal sea
To the sea, to the sea, to the sea

The Mystic
04:40
|
|||
|
A shadow stirs
Cloaked in forest green
The figure stands
There's entrails at her feet
There's a wolf half asleep
And a serpent in a cage
I'm expected it seems
Facing East
The mystic tastes the breeze
She says "Boy,
You'll be OK you'll see"
With the wolf in the lead
We follow the ancient way
Into the gloaming
The illusion of order and reason
Is grinding me down
A psyche in need of rebuilding
I search for help around
I discover you
Buried deep
Through a secluded cave
The temple waits
There's an alter lost in haze
Stripped naked to the waist
She draws symbols on my chest
The mystic is working . Ah...
My mind unlocked
The spirits sing to me
Colours explode
Glowing patterns form and weave
In a rush my world's enlarged
And my ego's lost to time
Now nature is speaking
When my eyelids part
The mystic's gone
Her body lost
But an aura lingers on
The truth is there to see
In the pebbles and the trees
And everything's looking brighter

The Brink
03:25
|

|
Slide once more
Don't worry sir
We'll be there soon and can relax at last
Feeling small
Take heart
We're closing in on the summit now fast
We're smart: field marshals out winning wars
Like Einstein we're warping space
And some day we'll change it's laws
But for now we climb
Olympus calls to all
And everyone has given up except for us
As the mountain shakes
We totter on the brink of something great
We're brash: base jumpers in free fall
Like Knieval we rev our motors up
And soon the world will watch enthralled
But for now we climb
At the crater's edge
We totter on the brink of something great
Slide once more ...

William Bond
05:57
|
|||
|
I wonder whether the girls are mad
And I wonder whether they mean to kill
And I wonder if William Bond will die
for assuredly he is very ill.
He went to church in a May morning
Attended by Fairies, one, two, and three;
But the Angels of Providence
drove them away
And he returned home in misery.
He went not out to the field nor fold
He went not out to the village nor town
But he came back home in a
black, black cloud
And took to his bed and there lay down.
And an Angel of Providence at his feet
And an Angel of Providence at his head
And in the midst a black, black cloud
And in the midst the sick man on his bed
And on his right hand was Mary Green
And on his left hand his sister Jane
And their tears fell through the
black, black cloud
To drive away the sick man’s pain.
"O William, if thou dost another love
Dost another better than poor Mary
Go and take that other to be thy wife
And Mary Green shall her servant be."
"Yes, Mary, I do another love
Another I love far better than thee
And another I will have for my wife
And then what have I to do with thee?
For thou art melancholy pale
And on thy head does the cold moon shine
While she is ruddy and bright as the day
And the sunbeams dazzle from her eye."
Mary trembled and Mary chilled
And Mary fell down on the right-hand floor
William Bond and his sister Jane could
Scarce recover Mary more.
When Mary woke and found her laid
On the right hand of her William dear
On the right hand of his loved bed
And saw her William so near -
The Fairies that fled from William Bond
Danced around her shining head
They danced over the pillow white
And the Angels of Providence left the bed.
I thought Love lived in the hot sunshine
But O, he lives in the moony light
I thought to find Love in the heat of day
But sweet Love is the comforter of night.
Seek Love in the pity of others’ woe
In the gentle relief of another’s care
In the darkness of night and the winter’s snow
In the naked and outcast, seek Love there.
I wonder whether the girls are mad...

The Party is in My Bed
02:23
|

Yes girlie that's quite a fetching dress
It clings to things I have to confess
Now take it off
The party is in my bed
This gathering is such a dull affair
Now come on girl I'll meet you upstairs
It's funner there
The party is in my bed
I know you want to tramp around the world
And have pretty things before you unfurl
But there's nothing like
The sights that are in my bed
'Cause in my bed the sensations, vibrations,
gyrations and such
Will have you reeling with feeling and squealing
and squeaking so much
You'll never need an aeroplane
Girlie let's jump and bounce around
I exaggerate not - my moves can astound
Let's shake things up
The party is in my bed
Yes girlie that's a truly fetching dress
But it's hiding things I wish to caress
So take it off
The party is in my bed
