December is the cruelest month but this time for once my cheeks are warm After long years in the monkey-house I am ready for the storm Let them throw all their cannonballs let all their strongmen come I'm ready to go anywhere through venom, sick and scum!
December is a trusted friend I always recognise her face It's a plague of fool blown aside forever by her soft and silent grace She is reckless as a Mayday gentle as a stone she ready to go anywhere to carry me back home!
December fell deep in the bleak mid-winter time when Jesus Christ Howled saviour's a baby howl a primal truth as pure as ice And though we crucified him on a cross and dragged his words from payer to curse He was able to go anywhere He was almost one of us! He was almost one of us!
They wanted me here Just to show you my face But when it comes to the crunch I just hide in disgrace You're calling me mad But i know you're the same Cause you got to be seen to be playing the game Yes we got to be seen to be playing, the game
It ain't gonna hurt now If you open up your eyes You're making it worse now Everytime you criticise I'm under your curse now But I call it compromise I thought that you were wise But you were otherwise
A specimen like you I would love to obtain I asked a tedious guy if he'd tell me your name I'd love to impress you With a back sumersault I wanna take up your love But it's locked in a vault I wanna take up your love But it's locked in a vault
It ain't gonna hurt now If you open up your eyes You're making it worse now Everytime you criticise I'm under your curse now But I call it compromise I thought that you were wise But you were otherwise
When i open my mouth I'm so brutally honest And i can't expect that kind of love from you When you open your mouth Your teeth are beautifully polished And i can't extract the pain you're going through No i can't explain The pain you're going through
It ain't gonna hurt now If you open up your eyes You're making it worse now Everytime you womanise I'm under your curse now But I call it compromise I'm under your curse
It ain't gonna hurt now If you open up your eyes You're making it worse now Everytime you criticise I'm under your curse now But I call it compromise I thought that you were wise But you were otherwise
I don't care if Monday's blue Tuesday's grey and Wednesday too Thursday I don't care about you it's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can fall apart Tuesday Wednesday break my heart Thursday doesn't even start it's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait and Sunday always comes too late but Friday never hesitate
I don't care if Monday's black Tuesday Wednesday heart attack Thursday never looking back it's Friday I'm in love
Monday you can hold your head Tuesday Wednesday stay in bed Oh Thursday watch the walls instead it's Friday I'm in love
Saturday wait and Sunday always comes too late but Friday never hesitate
dressed up to the eyes it's a wonderful surprise to see your shoes and your spirits rise throwing out your frown and just smiling at the sound and as sleek as a shriek spinning round and round always take a big bite it's such a gorgeous sight to see you eat in the middle of the night you can never get enough enough of this stuff it's Friday I'm in love!
Given free will but within certain limitations, I cannot will myself to limitless mutations, I cannot know what I would be if I were not me, I can only guess me.
So when I say that I know me, how can I know that? What kind of spider understands arachnophobia? I have my senses and my sense of having senses. Do I guide them? Or they me?
The weight of dust exceeds the weight of settled objects. What can it mean, such gravity without a centre? What can it mean, such gravity without a centre? Is there freedom to un-be? Is there freedom from will-to-be?
Sheer momentum makes us act this way or that way. We just invent or just assume a motivation. I would disperse, be disconnected. Is this possible? What are soldiers without a foe?
Be in the air, but not be air, be in the no air. Be on the loose, neither compacted nor suspended. Neither born nor left to die.
Had I been free, I could have chosen not to be me. Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill. Demented forces push me madly round a treadmill. Let me off please, I am so tired. Let me off please, I am so very tired.
Since the soul of Carmen Miranda had captured the mind of man
Dismissed with her generation for the price of a can-can Consigned to the sideshows of history, with the patronized orphans of film She seeded the bait and offered the faint hope of chance to innocent men In love with the trance of her dances And abandoned by them And abandoned by them
She called in the boys She remembered their names, and the sorry condition they came in The dances were soiled, they spun and recoiled From the master tapdancer inside them, beside them
The soul of Carmen Miranda had captured the mind of man Dismissed with her generation for the price of a can-can The soul of Carmen Miranda for the price of a can-can The soul of Carmen Miranda for the price of a can-can
When routine bites hard and ambitions are low and resentment rides high but emotions won't grow And we're changing our ways, taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold? You've turned away on your side Is my timing that flawed? Our respect runs so dry Yet there's still this appeal that we've kept through our lives
But love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
You cry out in your sleep, all my failings exposed And there's tast in my mouth as desperation takes hold Just that something so good just can't function no more
But love, love wil tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again Love, love will tear us apart again
Walk in silence, Don't walk away, in silence. See the danger, Always danger, Endless talking, Life rebuilding, Don't walk away.
Walk in silence, Don't turn away, in silence. Your confusion, My illusion, Worn like a mask of self-hate, Confronts and then dies. Don't walk away.
People like you find it easy, Naked to see, Walking on air. Hunting by the rivers, Through the streets, Every corner abandoned too soon, Set down with due care. Don't walk away in silence, Don't walk away.
Radio, live transmission. Radio, live transmission. Listen to the silence, let it ring on. Eyes, dark grey lenses frightened of the sun. We would have a fine time living in the night, Left to blind destruction, Waiting for our sight.
And we would go on as though nothing was wrong. And hide from these days we remained all alone. Staying in the same place, just staying out the time. Touching from a distance, Further all the time.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
Well I could call out when the going gets tough. The things that we've learnt are no longer enough. No language, just sound, that's all we need know, to synchronise love to the beat of the show.
And we could dance.
Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio. Dance, dance, dance, dance, dance, to the radio.
To the centre of the city where all roads meet, waiting for you, To the depths of the ocean where all hopes sank, searching for you, I was moving through the silence without motion, waiting for you, In a room with a window in the corner I found truth.
In the shadowplay, acting out your own death, knowing no more, As the assassins all grouped in four lines, dancing on the floor, And with cold streel, odour on their bodies mad a move to connect, But I could only stare in disbelief as the crowds all left.
I did everything, everything I wanted to, I let them use you for their own ends, To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you. To the centre of the city in the night, waiting for you.
When I see you alone, I see what's in your mind. You love me yes you do, you don't need to tell me. I know you love me most, no one else take my place. You need me, yes you do. Forever, and ever.
When we kiss, I see what's in your heart. You love me yes you do, you don't need to tell me. I know you love me most, no one else take my place. You need me, you do. Forever, and ever.
We are in love, baby love child I take you so high, groovy love child Give me a kiss, baby love child Do it again
We are in bed at night, I can see what you want. You want me yes you do, aishiteimasu. (*) I know how you feel, you have all of my heart. I give you myself. Forever and ever
We are in love, baby love child I take you so high, groovy love child Give me a kiss, baby love child Do it again
You know the fellas go You know the fellas go for the moolah
You know the fellas go for the moolah You know, you know the fellas go
If everybody looked the same We'd get tired looking at each other

I met my love by the gas works wall Dreamed a dream by the old canal Kissed my girl by the factory wall Dirty old town Dirty old town Clouds a drifting across the moon Cats a prowling on their beat Spring's a girl from the streets at night Dirty old town Dirty old town Heard a siren from the docks Saw a train set the night on fire I Smelled the spring on the smoky wind Dirty old town Dirty old town I'm going to make me a big sharp axe Shining steel tempered in the fire Will chop you down like an old dead tree Dirty old town Dirty old town
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out, I had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Once I had a love and it was divine Soon found out I was losing my mind Seemed like the real thing, but I was so blind Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
In between, what I find is pleasing and I'm feeling fine, love is so confusing there's no peace of mind If I fear I'm losing you It's just no good, you teasing like you do
Once I had a love and it was a gas Soon turned out I had a heart of glass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
Lost inside Adorable illusion and I cannot hide I'm the one you're using, please don't push me aside We coulda made it cruising, yeah
Yeah, riding high on love's true bluish light
Once I had a love and it was gas Soon turned out, it was a pain in the ass Seemed like the real thing, only to find Mucho mistrust, love's gone behind
I was crying over you I am smiling I think of you Where your garden have no walls Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
Nothing can compare To when you roll the dice and swear that your love's for me Nothing can compare To when you roll the dice and swear that your love's for me
I was crying over you I am smiling I think of you Misty morning and water falls Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell
Nothing can compare To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me Nothing can compare To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me Nothing can compare To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me
Virtuous sensibility Escape velocity Nothing can compare
To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me Nothing can compare To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me Nothing can compare To when you roll the dice and swear your love's for me
Breathe in the air if you care, you compare, don't say farewell Nothing

The morning sun touched lightly on the eyes of Lucy Jordan In a white suburban bedroom in a white suburban town As she lay there 'neath the covers dreaming of a thousand lovers Till the world turned to orange and the room went spinning round.
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair. So she let the phone keep ringing and she sat there softly singing Little nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.
Her husband, he's off to work and the kids are off to school, And there are, oh, so many ways for her to spend the day. She could clean the house for hours or rearrange the flowers Or run naked through the shady street screaming all the way.
At the age of thirty-seven she realised she'd never Ride through Paris in a sports car with the warm wind in her hair So she let the phone keep ringing as she sat there softly singing Pretty nursery rhymes she'd memorised in her daddy's easy chair.
The evening sun touched gently on the eyes of Lucy Jordan On the roof top where she climbed when all the laughter grew too loud And she bowed and curtsied to the man who reached and offered her his hand, And he led her down to the long white car that waited past the crowd.
At the age of thirty-seven she knew she'd found forever
I cry in my sleep Sometimes you stay Sometimes you stay You never know why Please say my name Don't turn away
The pain is black The pain is bright The pain is black The pain is bright The pain is bright
Then I awake And in the half light Watching my movements Through half closed eyes You're touching me As a priest loves pornography We played beneath the patterns Don't turn away
The pain is black The pain is bright The pain is black The pain is bright The pain is bright Kissed by the years Caresses of time Marking the lines The lines of expression The patterns of place The patterns of youth The patterns of love Don't turn away Say my name Say my name
The pain is black The pain is bright The pain is black The pain is bright The pain is bright
Tell your heart that I'm the one Tell your heart it's me
I want you Rockin' back inside my heart I want you Rockin' back inside my heart Rockin' back inside my heart
Shadow in my house The man he has brown eyes She'll never go to hollywood Love moves me
I want you Rockin' back inside my heart I want you Rockin' back inside my heart Rockin' back inside my heart
Tell your heart, you make me cry Tell your heart, don't let me die
I want you Rockin' back inside my heart I want you Rockin' back inside my heart Rockin' back inside my heart
Shadow in my house The man he has brown eyes She'll never go to hollywood Love moves me
I want you Rockin' back inside my heart I want you Rockin' back inside my heart Rockin' back inside my heart She'll never go to hollywood.
Do you remember our picnic lunch? We both went up to the lake And then we walked among the pines The birds sang out a song for us We had a fire when we came back And your smile was beautiful You touched my cheek and you kissed me At night we went for a stroll The wind blew our hair The fire made us warm The wind blew the waves Out on the lake We heard the owl in a nearby tree. I thought our love would last forever.
I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications
Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright Perahaps its just my imagination
Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away
Alone between the sheets Only brings the exasperation It's time to walk the streets Smell the desperation
At least there's pretty lights And though there's little variation It nullifies the night From overkill
Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Come back another day
I can't get to sleep I think about the implications Of diving in too deep And possibly the complications
Especially at night I worry over situations I know will be alright It's just overkill
Day after day it reappears Night after night my heartbeat, shows the fear Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away Ghosts appear and fade away
You, you can be mean And I, I'll drink all the time 'Cause we're lovers, and that is a fact Yes we're lovers, and that is that
Though nothing, will keep us together We could steal time, just for one day We can be Heroes, for ever and ever What d'you say?
I, I wish you could swim Like the dolphins, like dolphins can swim Though nothing, nothing will keep us together We can beat them, for ever and ever Oh we can be Heroes, just for one day
I, I will be king And you, you will be queen Though nothing will drive them away We can be Heroes, just for one day We can be us, just for one day
I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, shot above our heads (over our heads) And we kissed, as though nothing could fall (nothing could fall) And the shame, was on the other side Oh we can beat them, for ever and ever Then we could be Heroes, just for one day
We can be Heroes We can be Heroes We can be Heroes Just for one day We can be Heroes
We're nothing, and nothing will help us Maybe we're lying, then you better not stay But we could be safer, just for one day
I'm in love with a German film star I once saw in a bar Sitting in a corner in imperfect clothes Trying not to pose For the cameras and the girls It's a glamorous world
I'm in love with a German film star I once saw in a movie Playing the part of a real troublemaker But I didn't care It really moved me, it really moved me

Running down a central reservation in last night's red dress, And I can still smell you on my fingers and taste you on my breath; Stepping through brilliant shades, All the color you bring, This time, this time, this time, Is whatever I want it to mean.
If this is where memories are made, I'm gonna like what I see, And everything that I ever took for granted, I'm gonna let it be.
I step through every shade, All the color you bring, This time, this time, this time, Is whatever I want it to mean.
And everything and nothing is as sacred as we'd want it to be, When it's really all, Make it really all, Compared to what.
It's like living in the middle of the ocean, With no future, no past, And everything that's good about now, Well, might just glide right past.
I'm stepping through brilliant shades, All the color you bring, This time, this time, this time, Is fine just as it is.
And everything is sacred here, And nothing is as sacred as I want it to be, When it's really all compared to what.
On the floating, shapeless oceans I did all my best to smile til your singing eyes and fingers drew me loving into your eyes.
And you sang "Sail to me, sail to me; Let me enfold you."
Here I am, here I am waiting to hold you. Did I dream you dreamed about me? Were you here when I was full sail?
Now my foolish boat is leaning, broken love lost on your rocks. For you sang, "Touch me not, touch me not, come back tomorrow." Oh my heart, oh my heart shies from the sorrow. I'm as puzzled as a newborn child. I'm as riddled as the tide. Should I stand amid the breakers? Or shall I lie with death my bride?
Hear me sing: "Swim to me, swim to me, let me enfold you." "Here I am. Here I am, waiting to hold you."
This is the end Beautiful friend This is the end My only friend, the end Of our elaborate plans, the end Of everything that stands, the end No safety or surprise, the end I'll never look into your eyes...again Can you picture what will be So limitless and free Desperately in need...of some...stranger's hand In a...desperate land ?
Lost in a Roman...wilderness of pain And all the children are insane All the children are insane Waiting for the summer rain, yeah There's danger on the edge of town Ride the King's highway, baby Weird scenes inside the gold mine Ride the highway west, baby Ride the snake, ride the snake To the lake, the ancient lake, baby The snake is long, seven miles Ride the snake...he's old, and his skin is cold The west is the best The west is the best Get here, and we'll do the rest The blue bus is callin' us The blue bus is callin' us Driver, where you taken' us ?
The killer awoke before dawn, he put his boots on He took a face from the ancient gallery And he walked on down the hall He went into the room where his sister lived, and...then he Paid a visit to his brother, and then he He walked on down the hall, and And he came to a door...and he looked inside "Father ?", "yes son", "I want to kill you" "Mother...I want to...fuck you"
