DROWNING BY NUMBERS

Open up your heart, let me slip inside.

Such determination always tries to turn the tide

Open up your arms, let me dive into

the big, big blue.

 

Try loosing, this chromosome.

It's my choosing, down to the bone.

 

Open up your heart, let me slip inside.

Such imagination always helps the feeling slide.

Open up your soul, falling back into

the big, big blue.

 

Try loosing, this chromosome.

It's my choosing, down to the bone.

 

Blood, dive in

blood, drowning

blood, dive in

(répété)

 

Open up your heart, let me slip inside.

Auto-flagellation always helps the ghost to hide.

Open up your arms, let me dive into

the big, big blue.

 

Try loosing, this chromosome.

It's my choosing, down to the bone.

 

Blood, dive in

blood, drowning

blood, dive in

(répété).

 

 

DARK GLOBE (reprise des Pink Floyd)

Oh where are you now

pussy willow that smiled on this leaf?

When I was alone

you promised the stone from your heart.

My head kissed the ground

I was half the way down

treading the sand

please.

 

Please lift a hand

I'm only a person

whose armbands beat

on his hands, hang tall

Won't you miss me?

wouldn't you miss me at all?

Oh

Oh

Oh

 

The poppy bird's way

swing twigs coffee brands around

brandish her wand with a featury tongue

My head kissed the ground.

I was half the way down

treading the sand

please

please

 

Please lift a hand

I'm only a person

with eskimo chain

I tattooed my brain all the way

Won't you miss me?

wouldn't you miss me at all?

Oh

Oh

Oh.

 

 

BEEN SMOKING TOO LONG

'yeah, I really, um, I really, I really wanted to kind of like, to capture some kind of like

moment, but maybe it's better if I'm sober...

 

Wake up in the morning, I look at my clock

it's way past noontime, I'm late for work.

Tell me what have I done wrong?

nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking

too long.

 

Go to fix me some breakfast, I ain't got no food

take me a shower, the water don't feel no good.

Tell me what have I done wrong?

and nothing can go right with me must be that I've been smoking

too long.

 

I got opium in my chimney, no other life to choose

nightmares made of hash dreams, the devil in my shoes.

What have I done wrong?

yeah nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking

too long.

 

When I'm smoking, smoking, put my worries on a shelf

try not to think about nothing, don't wanna see myself

What have I done wrong?

and nothing can go right with me it must be that I've been smoking

too long.

 

In this blues I'm singing, there's a lesson to be learned

you go round smoking, you're gonna get burned

Fuck me what have I done wrong?

nothing can go right with me must be that I've been smoking

too long

too long.

 

 

SLACKERBITCH

It echoes in my brain

I didn't mean it

pulses through my veins

I didn't mean it

I'm the one to blame

I didn't mean it

did too much cocaine

I didn't mean it.

 

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

looks real cute, her lips are sore

slackerbitch, faghag, whore

always comes back for more.

 

Your memory will fade

I didn't mean it

you've always had it made

I didn't mean it

I know you feel betrayed

I didn't mean it

I just wanted to get laid

I didn't mean it.

 

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

looks real cute, her lips are sore

slackerbitch, faghag, whore

always knocking on my door.

 

You come across impure

I didn't mean it

you're goddamn immature

I didn't mean it

you act so insecure

I didn't mean it

you hate me now I'm sure

I didn't mean it.

 

Slackerbitch, faghag, whore

looks real cute, her lips are sore

slackerbitch, faghag, whore

dripping sex from every pore

slackerbitch, faghag, whore

looks real cute, her lips are sore

slackerbitch, faghag, whore

such a motherfucking bore.

 

 

BIGMOUTH STRIKES AGAIN

Sweetness

sweetness I was only joking when I said

I'd like to smash every tooth in your head.

Oh sweetness

sweetness I was only joking when I said

by rights you should be bludgeoned in your bed.

 

And now I know how joan of arc felt

now I know how joan of arc felt

as the flames rose to her roman nose

and her discman started to melt.

 

Bigmouth la da dum da da

bigmouth la da da da, bigmouth strikes again

and I've got no right to take my place

in the human race

Oh

Bigmouth la da dum da da

bigmouth la da da da, bigmouth strikes again

and I've got no right to take my place

in the human race.

 

And now I know how joan of arc felt

now I know how joan of arc felt

as the flames rose to her roman nose

and her megadrive started to melt.

 

Bigmouth la da dum da da

bigmouth la da da da, bigmouth strikes again

and I've got no right to take my place

in the human race

Oh

Bigmouth la da dum da da

bigmouth la da da da, bigmouth strikes again

and I've got no right to take my place

in the human race.

 

 

EYESIGHT TO THE BLIND

You don't know me, and you never hold me

like your little piece on the side.

My mother told me, that you're never lonely

when you're laughing all the time.

 

Inside out and outside in

you bring eyesight to the blind.

Crying is a crime.

 

Slowing down the metronome

slowing down.

Slowing down the metronome

slowing down.

 

You don't know me, and you never hold me

like your little boy in blue.

My father told me, that you're always lonely

when they're all laughing at you.

 

Inside out and outside in

you bring jesus to the jew.

 

Slowing down the metronome

slowing down.

Slowing down the metronome

slowing down.

 

You don't know me, and you never hold me

like your little piece on the side.

 

Inside out and outside in

you bring eyesight to the blind.

 

 

MISS MONEYPENNY

Penance for his sin, he locked it in for just a little while

lubricating creams, sanitaries would only cramp his style

it's a dirty job but shooting guns just makes you horny

wants to spill his seed on guaranteed, service with a smile.

 

Miss Moneypenny

Miss Moneypenny

Oh

Miss Moneypenny

Miss Moneypenny

Oh.

 

Pitter patter of the eyelid on the first roll of the dice

feel the atmosphere, it's gently laced with nicotine and spice

it's a long walk home, the entrance of the night is scary

only trouble is, he never learned to shoot the same gun twice.

 

Miss Moneypenny

Miss Moneypenny

Oh

Miss Moneypenny

Miss Moneypenny

Oh.

 

Every job he saves the girl

martini, mobile phone

bastards getting in his way

they're all pushing daisies

All you need to make a movie is a gun and a girl.

THEN THE CLOUDS WILL OPEN FOR ME

My guy has a tan transcontinental

but it keeps me enchained

watch an old black and white movie

Fred and Ginger are too sentimental, crying in shame

I don't want to be forgotten

I can't be alone

so don't you dare leave me

it's like coming home

to a skin that has died

human voices like a drum

and they're looking right through me

scatter the ashes one more time for me, ane more time for me

my guy has a tattoo ornamental

when he's frozen in space

cut your eye far to me

a covered carcass is too elemental, caught underneath a subway

I don't want to be forgotten

I can't be alone

so don't you dare leave me

it's like coming home

it's a skin that has died

human voices like a drum

and they're looking right through me

scatter the ashes one more time for me, one more time for me

one more time for me, one more time for me

one more time for me, one more time for me

one more time for me, one more time for me

trans-likened, twisting my ankle

doing the grave dance

narcotic? yes please, I'll have a sample

riding on my very last chance

then the clouds will open for me

gonna meet my jesus christ

I see history playing before me

for pleasure and passion you play the price

sadness the name of the spike taht took me

I'll make that's all

like some raging, hard, horny mephistopheles

who came for my soul.

 

 

WAITING FOR THE SON OF MAN

Patience comes to the ugly, not me

laughter comes to the lucky, not me

people in my head that won't stop talking

nothing in my dream that isn't creepy crawling.

 

Walking in the park and I think that I'm falling

swimming in the sea and I think I'll

you guessed it

only lifeguards

only lifeguards

packing all the time??

can save me

 

waiting

waiting

waiting

for the son of man

for the son of man.

 

Patience comes to the ugly, not me

concentration comes to the ugly, not me

nothing on the box that hasn't been born

no-one in the street that isn't old.

 

driving in the car and I think that I'm crashing

swimming in the Sea and I think taht I'll

you guessed it

only lifeguards

only lifeguards

packing all the time

can save me

 

waiting

waiting

waiting

for the son of man

for the son of man.
