On a Night Like This
03:15
|

On a night like this (on a night like this)
When the champagne goes straight to my head
On a night like this (on a night like this)
Some things are better left unsaid.
I’ll drink it over
I’ll drink it over
I’ll drink it over
With you
On a night like (on a night like this)
When I’m feeling four sheets to the wind
On a night like this (on a night like this)
My two loose lips are safety-pinned
I’ll drink it over
I’ll drink it over
I’ll drink it over…
With you
And if you think I’ve had enough
I’ve had enough of what you think
And if you knew me
You’d see through me
In a wink…or two
On a night like (on a night like this)
When I feel the spirits taking me
On a night like (on a night like this)
Don’t raise a glass reluctantly
I’ll drink it over
I’ll drink it over
I’ll drink it over…
With you
With you
With you…

Save Me
03:25
|

Empty…freezing
Drunk from the altar wine
I’m barely breathing
An insect in turpentine…
Broken, bleeding
Battered, left behind
Think of your troubles
And worries that plague your mind
The crowd on the sidewalk
The kiss of the summer sun
But think of your troubles
Your troubles have just begun
You lost your way, you have to pay
You have to meet your maker
You mustn’t try to overstay
The undertaker…
If you do what they tell you
They promise it’ll be alright
If you buy what they sell you then one kiss
Will set it right…
Well set it right, right now

Sweetshop

|

Sweet Shop, where the Sheik of Araby shops
On lipstick-colored laptops
Beneath the cherry moon
Sweet shop, where the dandelion dewdrops
Explode above the tube tops
And burst just like balloons…
You needn’t bother
With the Son or the Father
‘Cause everything’s okay
And it really doesn’t matter anyway
One day your tooth decay is gonna keep you up all night
‘Til the morning comes and finds you craving more
Knocking on the door of the…
Sweetshop, where the creature in the cornstalks
Heaves a heavy cyclops
And croaks a crooked tune
Sweetshop, where the rattle of the rain drops
Are cotton-candy tick-tocks
‘Til the very crack of doom
You shouldn’t wonder at the star that you’re under
Or what the prophets say
‘Cause it really doesn’t matter anyway

Let's Call it a Day
02:58
|
|||
I’ve done a lot of thinking
And I know
Between the laughs and winking
We tip -toe
I’ve had enough of drinking
And horseplay
Let’s call it a day…
You’ve broken every promise
You’ve made me
I’ve written off my losses
And I’m happy
I’ve had enough of heartache
And child’s play
Let’s call it a day
Clarity
Has swept over me
And I’m not certain you can see…
It’s symptomatic of
What only seemed like love
I’m packing up my memories
The song plays
Not looking for a reprise
Of the old days
I’ve had enough of rumors
And hearsay
Let’s call it a day

So Can You
02:56
|

I'm so depraved
I can't be saved
But please don't misconstrue
I'll do my best to piss off the rest
If I can so can you...
I kick down doors
Settle scores
I burn my bridges too
I won't behave at your mother's grave
If I can so can you
Let's run the bastards through
We'll join the chosen few
Me and you
The more I learn
The less I know
I watch the shadows grow
It's time to give the devil the devil's due
A god-damned coward, truth be told
Never live up to the hype that you've been sold
Save for fucking up I'm such a bore
Shedding off my skin
I'm happy to begin the game once more...

Man of the Moment
04:06
|
|||
He’s the man of the moment
He’s the one with the diamond ring in his hand
He’s the man of the moment
A heartbeat and a handshake dressed as a man
And do you think she’ll ever wonder how it came to this?
And will she willingly exchange a wedding vow
With such a piece of work as this?
He’s the man of the moment

Don't Lose Your Temper
02:28
|
|||
She's broken every single vow
She's brought you to your knees
You're headed for a mighty row
Inevitably
Your brain is boilin’ for goodness sake
You're headed for a fall
You think that you've taken all that you can take
And that's when you recall...
Don't lose your temper
Don't t make it now or never
Don't lose your temper
You'll find it's getting better...
Getting better
You've dotted every single “I”
Crossed every single “T”
You’ve gotten all your points across
From here to eternity
Don't lose your temper
Don't make it now or never
Don't lose your temper
You'll find it's getting better...
Getting better
Now you’re tugging on my money belt
That’s plain to see
Now I know how the monkey felt
In Memphis Tennessee

Be Not Coy
03:10
|

Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Your time is almost past
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Nothing gold can last
I never knew
The right thing to do
Or what it was all about…
So gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Your time is running out
All of your youth and beauty
Will fade like a fleeting dream
Make sure when you awaken
You don’t regret a thing
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Give all the love you have
Be not too coy or shy away
Now is your golden chance
Try not to take for granted
We’ll always stay this way
Do all the things you’ve wanted
Say what you mean to say
Gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Now while the season’s high
And if tomorrow never comes
Know that you lived your life
I never knew
The right thing to do
Or what it was all about…
So, gather ye rosebuds while ye may
Your time is running out…
Your time is running out

The Old Gods
03:38
|
|||
They come from up above
Showing unrequited love
They got the collar of control
That‘s all you need to know…
The Old Gods are here
The Old Gods are here
The Old Gods are here
To stay…
Hey hey…
We shudder when they speak
And they feed upon the weak
Like cattle in the field
We fear the force that they wield
The Old Gods are here
The Old Gods are here
The Old Gods are here
To stay…
Hey hey…
It’s futile to resist the giant space lords
Impossible to fight the fearsome space hordes
So awful to behold their gruesome faces
As you're sold off in cosmic marketplaces…
They bring punishment and pain
‘Til we’re docile once again
And now we need to breed
Because it’s time for them to feed…

Bankside
02:40
|

Odd night in Bankside
Cold on the inside outside
My overcoat won’t button up
For falling down
I missed the last train
Just as the rain came pouring down
How could I let a true heart down, down down
What was I thinking? What was I drinking?
When I took a chair by you
Just a stranger, so much a stranger, oh…
Gotta be friendly, coincidentally
When I wandered home with you
Just a stranger, so much a stranger oh…
Odd night in Bankside
I felt the whole thing caving in
I took a blindside
Straight home, straight home, straight home again
What was I thinking? What was I drinking?
When I took a chair by you
Just a stranger, so much a stranger, oh…
Odd night in Bankside
I felt the knife go slipping in
Before the sunrise
Straight home, straight home, straight home again.

Monkey Punch
03:15
|
|||
The story's still in replay
You heard it all before
You got everything you wanted
But always want for more
So, I ask the loaded question
And you better answer back
You're running out of answers
It's your time to attack
You know they're keeping tabs on you
Closer by the day
It's the cost of doing business
The punishment, the pain
But you better keep your head up
You best not think too much
If you look the other way too long
You get the monkey punch
Monkey punch!
(No one to talk to, nobody's there for you...)
Monkey punch!
(Total break down when the monkey comes to town)
