I've been fed all my life
Had stories read to hypnotize
I bang my head against the wall
Deep inside my head I've found
Some signs of life a mushroom cloud
I teach I read the greed, Oh this is the mouth I feed
With love! With love! So don't be accusing me
I've got God inside my head
Got God inside my head
Bless my soul, one false hope take some wisdom there
This punk's no dope and I feel the need to share
Jesus in my memory
Just don't remind me
Don't remind me
Don't remind me
That I teach I reach the greed, Oh this is the mouth I feed
And I refuse to believe, there's a cynical bone in me
I've got God inside my head
God God inside my head
God God inside my head, my head, my head
If I don't wanna die
If I don't wanna die
I don't wanna die

Waydown
I breed deep in my a beautiful thing
And I need energy for my beautiful thing
But pain for days has stayed with me
Expect to see some change in me
From happy to frown
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I know noisy noisy please this fool
So hear my plan and understand why I feel so cruel
Take this huge expanse of sound
And wrap it in these rags I found
And in true style
I'm on my way down
Oh this is worth the cost she said
This is worth every penny she said
And I think I can see through everything
This is how I feel This is how I feel This is how I feel
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
And I need energy for my beautiful thing
But pain for days has stayed with me
Expect to see some change in me
From happy to frown
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down
I know noisy noisy please this fool
So hear my plan and understand why I feel so cruel
Take this huge expanse of sound
And wrap it in these rags I found
And in true style
I'm on my way down
Oh this is worth the cost she said
This is worth every penny she said
And I think I can see through everything
This is how I feel This is how I feel This is how I feel
I'm on my way down
I'm on my way down

Little Muscle
Drove to my lover, tried to discover
If she was my friend right to the end
Don't know what caused her to pretend
So I wrote a long letter on one inch of paper
Sprinkled with tears and surrounded by love
I'm gonna lick the page now with my tongue
Little muscle, little muscle
Wriggle wriggle lips of lizards
Like a lizard little muscle wriggling
My aching tongue
My aching tongue
My aching tongue
Little muscle, little muscle
Little muscle, little muscle
Oh boy, Oh boy you're so much trouble
A wedge a wedge a wedge a wedge
Between my lips
Little muscle, little muscle
Wriggle wriggle lips of lizards
Like a lizard what have you done?
My aching tongue
My aching tongue my aching tongue
Little muscle, little muscle
If she was my friend right to the end
Don't know what caused her to pretend
So I wrote a long letter on one inch of paper
Sprinkled with tears and surrounded by love
I'm gonna lick the page now with my tongue
Little muscle, little muscle
Wriggle wriggle lips of lizards
Like a lizard little muscle wriggling
My aching tongue
My aching tongue
My aching tongue
Little muscle, little muscle
Little muscle, little muscle
Oh boy, Oh boy you're so much trouble
A wedge a wedge a wedge a wedge
Between my lips
Little muscle, little muscle
Wriggle wriggle lips of lizards
Like a lizard what have you done?
My aching tongue
My aching tongue my aching tongue
Little muscle, little muscle

Heal
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
I can climb a tree and push up through the leaves 'cause
Only when I try am I happier to see
My head's in some kind of space where boyhood used to be
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
But it's all a lie and I've never felt so sad
There's a streak of melancholy running down my back
And there's a great mistrust that borders round the man
I call it strange from a boy who never left his head
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
And everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone to live by
But it's all a lie, it's a lie to make you beg
For something more for something better than you've had
And I wish I knew
I wish I knew how to change
'Cause everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone
Everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone
Everyone needs someone
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
I can climb a tree and push up through the leaves 'cause
Only when I try am I happier to see
My head's in some kind of space where boyhood used to be
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
But it's all a lie and I've never felt so sad
There's a streak of melancholy running down my back
And there's a great mistrust that borders round the man
I call it strange from a boy who never left his head
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal
And everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone to live by
But it's all a lie, it's a lie to make you beg
For something more for something better than you've had
And I wish I knew
I wish I knew how to change
'Cause everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone
Everyone needs someone to live by
Everyone needs someone
Everyone needs someone
It's how high you are and the time it takes to heal

Empty Head
Of all the things a popular song can bring
A permanent picture of hope is what I hate the most
But now I'm happy when I'm told to discover
There is no other
Just this is beautiful
This is beautiful
It's oh so fanciful
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good, yeah
Just don't be too surprised if this permanent paradise
Explodes some day in a permanent picture of pain
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good, yeah
But a permanent picture of love...(no there's a thing)
You feel you sing for something real
I can tell you it's no deal so don't bother
Whenever the fools surround me
It's never enough to tell me
This is beautiful
This is beautiful
It's oh so fanciful
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good
Empty head feels good, yeah
A permanent picture of hope is what I hate the most
But now I'm happy when I'm told to discover

Just don't be too surprised if this permanent paradise
Explodes some day in a permanent picture of pain

You feel you sing for something real

Shiny silver Jubilee
When I destroy what I receive
It's good to see you smiling
And the lack of sympathy
It's good to know the reason
The reasons

What's the reason, what's the use
When I don't want to look like you
It's good to sea you smiling
And the lack of sympathy
It's one of many reasons
Reasons
I destroy myself
I know I know I know
I deny myself
I know I know I know
I destroy myself
I know I know I know
Easy to believe
Grow my hair
Long and strange
I'll be a walking mountain range
It's good to see you smiling
And the lack of sympathy
'cause now I know the reasons
The reasons
I destroy myself
When I destroy what I receive
It's good to see you smiling
And the lack of sympathy
It's good to know the reason

Eat My Dust You Insensitive Fuck
I think I have the best of me
Inside my head
No one else competes with me
I think I'm great
Got spirit tucked away inside
I know the ghosts of angel notes to kiss
Everything I sing is part of this
Got honey brushed across my lips
I know, I know, I know, I know
If you can call this luck
If you can call this luck
If you can miss this much
Eat my dust you insensitive f*ck
Eat my dust you insensitive f*ck
Eat my dust
Inside my head
No one else competes with me

I know the ghosts of angel notes to kiss

Shocking
Old style in it seems they've brought you everything
There's an old style in of days when we were all thirteen
Yeah these pictures of love are a testament to the memories
When I think of you it's shocking

Dissolved in love he always made the best of it!
Yeah he spilled it all to The Sun months before punk had
Taken off

What a soar away dude is guilty of
When I think of you it's shocking
Ooh it's shocking ooh it's shocking
But won't you listen to me, why can't you believe
That you're breaking my heart
And these moments were part of our lives
And it destroys me to see you destroy them
Every time
When I think of you it's shocking
Ooh it's shocking ooh it's shocking
So you wanna know what's my crime?
Love, I'm guilty every time

Love Tips Up
Don't feel sad don't feel blue
It's supposed to be
All I feel comes back off you
And I'm so happy
'cause I feel I'm at 45 degrees
That's when love tips up for me
And keep it understood the elevations good
And love tips up for me
Please let me kiss your peculiar lips
For some sympathy
Though I've always maintained
That you've always been stranger than me
Is that the way it's meant to be?
I'm at 45 degrees
And that's when love tips up for me
So keep it understood the elevations good
And love tips up for me
Yeah don't it make you feel
Yeah don't it make you feel
Yeah don't it make you feel

Judy Staring at the Sun
Smacked up again behind the door
Begging please give me some more
A vein that's open for the day
Feel the pulse beneath the skin
And smiling as it all begins
Oh where have you been?
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's fantasy has come
So amplify this little one
She;s a volume freak
She hears as much as she can see
And what she sees she can't believe
It's just what Judy needs a moment of release
To give her peace peace peace
Judy's starting at the sun
Judy's day passed out of sight
Judy will be suffering tonight
She's suffering
She passed by and said good-bye to him
And in a rare and lucid state
She said my days are unoriginal
I wanna fade fade fade
She's suffering
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's day passed out of sight
Judy will be suffering tonight
Begging please give me some more
A vein that's open for the day
Feel the pulse beneath the skin
And smiling as it all begins
Oh where have you been?
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's staring at the sun
Judy's fantasy has come
So amplify this little one
She;s a volume freak
She hears as much as she can see
And what she sees she can't believe
It's just what Judy needs a moment of release
To give her peace peace peace
Judy's starting at the sun
Judy's day passed out of sight
Judy will be suffering tonight
She's suffering
She passed by and said good-bye to him
And in a rare and lucid state
She said my days are unoriginal
I wanna fade fade fade
She's suffering

Hole
Deep down this boy can feel too much
His flesh is weak he needs the satin crown
Got balls intact despite the fact
He'll curse his luck, his painful guts
Screwed up the path he followed
Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and bust up
This is the worst news I have heard alone and disturbed now
He's divine this time
When will you listen?
No fake what does it take when will you listen
When will you learn?
You fuss you fight I don't think it's right
That you pushed this man so deep down this hole
Come back
Come back
Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and get f*cked up
This is the worst news I have heard alone and disturbed now
He's divine this time
When will you listen?
No fake what does it take when will you listen
His flesh is weak he needs the satin crown
Got balls intact despite the fact
He'll curse his luck, his painful guts
Screwed up the path he followed
Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and bust up
This is the worst news I have heard alone and disturbed now
He's divine this time
When will you listen?
No fake what does it take when will you listen
When will you learn?
You fuss you fight I don't think it's right
That you pushed this man so deep down this hole
Come back

Always the pretty songs for us to sing along and get f*cked up

When will you listen?
No fake what does it take when will you listen

Fizzy Love
What you do to me
Leave puddles at my feet
Won't it make me ill
The way you make me feel
Can't remember when
My senses were so bent
Tell me your impressed
With my obsessiveness
What am I supposed to do
Bubbles in my
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you, you
Won't you let me kiss
You're starving me of this
You really have the flair
To suffocate me there
For my survival I conclude
When I need air it's all I use
My Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
I lose the energy to think
I don't eat food and all I think
Is Fizzy love for you
My fizzy
My fizzy love for you
Leave puddles at my feet
Won't it make me ill
The way you make me feel
Can't remember when
My senses were so bent
Tell me your impressed
With my obsessiveness
What am I supposed to do
Bubbles in my
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you, you
Won't you let me kiss
You're starving me of this
You really have the flair

Fizzy love for you
Fizzy love for you

Glitter
He tried his best at understanding sex in his own mind
Not learning much this understanding sucks in his own eyes
Yeah he's the biggest living creep
Yeah so bad it makes him weep
What's the point supposed to be
You all think the less of me
So dream of something better
Choose your glitter (3x)
He's past the stage of understanding rage in his own mind
Yeah he's been inside the cage
Yeah beside the snake
What's the point supposed to be
This will be the death of me
Dream of something better
Choose your glitter (3x)
The mirrored moon that he's been swinging from
Reflects the gay heart that he has become
He cannot stand the loss of love, love, love
Where's it all supposed to get you
Get criticized for something better
Not learning much this understanding sucks in his own eyes
Yeah he's the biggest living creep
Yeah so bad it makes him weep
What's the point supposed to be
You all think the less of me
So dream of something better
Choose your glitter (3x)
He's past the stage of understanding rage in his own mind
Yeah he's been inside the cage
Yeah beside the snake

Kill My Soul
Call me romantic
But I'm frantically f*cked up
I had a picture
Sentimentally flawed
Pretty hard to ignore
In my soul
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul
Fatally wounded
And in peacetime Oh Oh
Leaving me rigid
That's what I find so
Hard hard hard to forgive
In my soul
You killed my soul
Pretty hard to forgive
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul
Oh
Call me romantic
But I'm disappointed
La
La
La
La
But I'm frantically f*cked up
I had a picture
Sentimentally flawed
Pretty hard to ignore
In my soul
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul
Fatally wounded
And in peacetime Oh Oh
Leaving me rigid
That's what I find so
Hard hard hard to forgive
In my soul
You killed my soul
Pretty hard to forgive
You killed my soul
Soul
You killed my soul
Oh
Call me romantic
But I'm disappointed
La
