Mr Self Destruct

(D. Ball/M. Almond)

Always the dreamer
But never the dead
You had a rocky road mapped out
Somewhere in your head
Anyone in your way
Was a spike in your side
With one hand in the wallet
You took them for the ride

Chorus

You could look in their eyes
You perfected a lie
Never gave them the chance
To question why
If they hit on you
Then you slammed them right back
To hell with the cool
It was up and attack

You should have seen you
When you were 18
You were the toughest little F...
I've ever seen
And with each downfall
You turned 10 foot tall
The biggest kick in the balls
You've ever been
And Dr Diablo's on his rounds again
Looking for blame
And you know that he'll diagnose
Pain again, yeah pain again
Narrow the sorrow
sick of the slick
At the doors of discovery
You had your pick
If they hit on you
Then you hit right back
Never keeping the cool
It was up and attack

Repeat chorus

Why are you feeling so tired today?
Life has gone wild
No one blocks out the way
You even look good
Or so they say
A new lease of life flow through your body today
Nothing but looks all to go by (shooting the A)
But and away
The stuff is free
And you can now go to town
Billing your lover for smashing you down
Billing your lover for smashing you down
You can't escape from this fact of life
That existing makes you a mess
That every decision or feeling or reason
Will cause some sort of mental distress

Repeat chorus

Leave the cool for the fool (x4)
You can't escape from this fact of life
That existing makes you a mess
That every decision or feeling or reason
Will cause some sort of mental distress

Repeat chorus

Repeat...
Billing your lover
(Shooting the A)
Smashing you down
...three times

Slave To This

Oh another day, another way
Anothe life in the day of life of existence
oh fear threat and filth tender in hate
Slug and grab trap and take away another track
Meat rack and ruin boarded up and beaten up
Roaming the streets have no respect for a life and limb a love
Who's love are you anyway
Mother smiles, narrow eyes, drink up your poison
Like a good little girl can't have your cake and beat it, you know
Sick of seeing you boozeed out burned up, ugly and low

So sick and tired
(I'm so sick and tired)
Of being used and abused
That's right (that's right...), Oh
Pushing through the pavement spraw
Dirtlocked lady who hits you
In your chest when you want
Give her money, Mr. Barefoot
All the year round please don't
Breath on me oh and hi there
Zizi Jean-Nightmare
Still sticky from you
Still sticky from me

Smack Kerpow!!
Into cold greaseburguer prince
Call me Chico Chico
From Puerto Rico
Guilty of another cold hand sperm murder
Forever the crimes of makeup
Underfoot where will take me
When this is all over somewhere I don't have to shiver in shadows
So sick and Tired

So sick and tired (many times)

Everyday you get up, you go to work
Floating in the ash, in the coffee pot café
Throwing up on and overdiet of slob culture
Scared for you for me, ok
I got so tired of reading about
The anguish of being that
I ended up being without
Where will you take me(x2)
Away from this hell to be or not be
To the vacancy sign in your eyes...

And they never shed a tear
For Jesus Christ when he died in the cross
And the drove spike in his side and hammered a
Crown of thorns on his head...
... and the blood came pouring down
But you cried when they put a man on the moon...

Little Rough Rhinestone

(D. Ball/M. Almond)

Little rough rhinestone
Where will your love go today?
Sometimes you think
That you have none to start with anyway
Will lose the deep pools
And the blues will cloud up
Your frightened little eyes
And the cold comes to claim you inside
You sit writing letters
To imaginary friends
That you left behind in your mind
The deep dark red doorways
Call to a limbo of loneliness
Where a million rhinestones
Sit and cry

Chorus

I never knew sorrow
Could hit me this way
I once had a friend
But he moved away
And even my mother
When she turned on me
Couldn't put emotion like this in me

Fist into glass into head (someone else's head)
They beat you up so badly
That your eyes show the look of the nearly dead
The wagon will come and scoop up
What's left of the sorry debris
And you'll take the place of a hundred other
Little Johnnies (that went the very same way)

Repeat chorus twice

And screaming out loud he ran
Crashing through the crowd he ran (x3)
Screaming: God if you're up there

Repeat...
I need you
Where are you?
...until fade

When I need you?

Meet Murder My Angel

(D. Ball/M. Almond)

Come and meet
Another kind of love
Meet another kind of love
Different than the real thing
But just as demanding
And just as demeaning
Treaded in apathy
All worries swept away
By one simple act of annihilation
And I've not cried like this
And I've not felt this calm

Chorus

Meet murder my angel
You've arrived at the moment
To cross over the threshold

I met another kind of love
Met another kind of love
And I've not felt alive in this way
For a long time
Your pleaser
annoyer
destroyer
and voyeur
Waits alone at the corner
At the backdoor to paradise
The backdoor to paradise
You shaking all over
It's time to cross over the threshold
And there's no way back my angel
There's no way back for an angel

Repeat chorus five times

Its such a feeling!
Repeat till fade

My angel

The Best Way To Kill

(D. Ball/M. Almond)

Dishonesty breeds like poison
In an unhealed wound
Multiply tell a little lie
To pull the wool over
Gods little eye
Before he makes up his mind
And that wouldn't do
Life is one long play for the theatre
One that uses all the
Four-letter words
The one that everybody pretends
They've never never heard

Oh yeah

And it gets in my skin
And I find myself
Fitting a form
That is worn
Like a badge on a blazer at school
Tear it off rip it up
Stick your 2 fingers
Up at the world
And the lying
Little worms
That would take you
For a fool
For your life has
To be this way
And you can't say this
And you can't watch that
It'll darken your mind
Little child
A moral strait jacket
To stop you
Running completely wild

Oh yeah

And it's nice when you're being
Yourself behind a locked door
Talk in whispers when
You're scared out of your mind by the law
Who would leave no bruises
But the ones in your heart
And they're the ones
That really hurt

Oh yeah

The debate of the day, win a long holiday
If you at home can decide what would be the
Best way to kill
The best way to kill
And you don't stand a chance in Hell
That you'll go down final sound of bell
Losers all in the eyes of the men with the pens
But winners all in the end

Repeat entire verse

But winners all in the end (x2)
Before he makes up his mind (x3)
Winners all in the end

L'Esqualita

(D. Ball/M. Almond)

Oh, I would believe
That she's a real diva
She tugs at the reins
Of a hundred chihuahuas
She'll live a few years
But she'll have some adventures
Then sing of her sequins
With tears and with traumas
A fistful of love
With Raoul Kowalski
He's only a slob of a Corsican junkie
Hoods, heroin, hot Janes
Those fingers of finesse
Salo aftershave
Spend the rent on a new dress

Chorus

Chi chi at the bar
Dressed a l'esqualita
Talks of Johns and of Joans
And tomorrows rhinestones

Repeat verse

I'm so sick in my spare time
Humouring thugs
We could go out to dinner
But we're always on drugs

Repeat verse

Conchita Piquer
She will take on the whole floor
This Carmen in cling film
Will bathe in your applause
She pecks at the glamour
With warmth from your dollars
Squeeze out your breath
With the strength from her shoulders
OK so its ham
But she means every word
In a 10 minute ballad of despair and blood
With one hand to the bosom
Paid for by the ballad
But somewhere in there
Is a deep love for love

Repeat chorus

Repeat chorus

Repeat...
And somewhere in there
Is a deep love for love
...until fade

Down in the Subway

(Jack Hammer)

Rain keeps on falling
Sun refuse to shine
Baby quit your stalling
And say that you are mine

Chorus

'Cause I've got so many troubles
Oh I feel like I could cry
Going down in the subway
Jump on those train tracks and die

Down in the subway
I hide these tears of mine
Down In the Subway
I'm gonna cry cry cry 'til the end of the line

Cold hearted baby
You're too mean to smile
Every day is stormy
Oh you're one evil child

Repeat chorus

Red blooded baby
Your too tough for me
I don't mean maybe
Oh why don't you let me be

Repeat chorus

Jump on those train tracks and die
Jump on those train tracks and die
Go down in the subway
Jump on those train tracks and die
Jump on those train tracks and die

I'm all run over

Surrender (to a Stranger)

(D. Ball/M. Almond)

Lonely
I'd like to drown me in my coffee
Counting hours with cappucinos
Sitting framed within the window
I'm lonely
I sit here acting like I'm reading
I'm reading minds and sadly dreaming
There's some of me left to believe in

Chorus

Surrender
Surrender
Ohh.....

That businessman smell
Found in one-night hotels
The sheets are unwashed
From the stories they tell
Tobacco and sweat and initials in dust
The man at the desk
Throws you looks of disgust
Soon I'll try hard to lose you
Drown you in my cappucino

Repeat chorus

Sodom and Gomorrah
Come tomorrow
I won't know you from
Adam or Eve
Look me in the eyes
And tell me you love me
Once before you leave
Once before you leave

Oh come on, come on, come on...

Repeat chorus

Soul Inside

(D. Ball/M. Almond)

The wind in my hair
And the black in my eyes
I was holding back tears
As I reeled with surprise
There was no one to phone
I just chewed at the time
I was waving good-bye
To control of my mind

Chorus

And the beat of my heart
Marks the passing of time
And I just wanna scream to the sky
And there are times when my mind is
An explosion of feelings
I'm trying to hold on
To the soul inside

I go looking for lies
In your play the game eyes
But I couldn't find the way
Or the wheres or the whys
Should I laugh, should I cry
Should I live, should I die
It's a wild celebration of
Feelings inside

Repeat chorus three times

It's a wild celebration of feeling inside (x2)
And it's tearing me up (x4)
It's a wild celebration of feeling inside (x2)
And I'm trying to hold on (x3)

Where Was Your Heart

(D. Ball/M. Almond)
Your time wasting again
Biting your nails like you were 16
Putting up your little walls when emotions around
Leave your little heart in the lost and found
Your friends would die laughing if they saw you this way
Even though they cry the same tears every day

Chorus

Where was your heart when you needed it most
Hand in hand with your innocence, gave up the ghost

But it doesn't do to tell
You're at your best when you're living hell
You've put on your hard face, you know you do that so well
And got you all your waterproof make-up today
And who gives a damn about him anyway
To him you're a body and to hell with the mind
But you get the same stick from his type all the time
Just a couple of drinks and they've got you tonight
And you know the sad thing is that they're on the right

Repeat chorus twice

They take hold of your heart and they spit it right out
Make a show of the conquest when their friends are about
Your ego deflated, you gave up the fight
And became a good time had by all every night
No comfort of beds or the softness of sheets
Just the back of the car, sprawled across the back seat
And he'll just not give up, and he's messed up your hair
The dish in the disco, but a pig in the bed
So you build up a false love affair anyway
Photocopy soap-opera stories all day
Well it all ends up fine and it all ends in church
And the girl looks like you, and she never really gets hurt

Repeat chorus four times

Gave up the ghost
Oh it gave up the ghost
