  Scandal At The Parkadeshow lyrics

  Scandal At The Parkade

  Your equations, your essays,
  Never hid an illogic mind,
  Aim for that heart, aim for it-
  We will leave the logic behind,
  You'll travel far, you'll travel-
  Boy, you'll see the end of Bahati
  You'll see them fall; you'll see them pay,
  You'll be the end of Yoweri
  [Dude. Pick up.]
  They're getting soft, they're getting old,
  you'll see the end of Johnny
  Don't make a story! Make a hit!
  You'll see the fall of Golding
  Cos' all that they know is cottages, cottages,
  Button them down, button them down,
  Once they got in to cottages, cottages,
  Button them down, button them down,
  Now that they got-Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! We're gonna' button them down!
  Cos' all that they know is cottages; button them down.
  [Dude. Pick up.]
  All that they know is cottages, cottages,
  Button them down, button them down,
  Once they got in to cottages, cottages,
  Button them down, button them down,
  Now that they got-Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! We're gonna' button them down!

  Tryst With Mephistophelesshow lyrics

  Tryst With Mephistopheles

  I stumbled on the summit's path.
  Clumsy, clumsy.
  No paragon am I.
  I can't even keep my shoes tied.
  I've been in love with Owen ever since
  I heard the strains of Psalm 21.
  Standing between the choirs,
  As they sang, "Laudate Dominum, Laudate Dominum".
  Damn, I wrote it down, but I left it in the pocket of my other jeans.
  Scrawled across the foolscap: "I don't know what your devotion means,
  I don't know what your devotion means."
  And up, upon the summit I can see
  The one I worshipped as a boy.
  The Creator, The Great White Noise.
  The Great White Noise.
  Charged and charging up the ridge.
  The chests are empty, the coffers too.
  They float in the flood, and so will you, I swear, so will you.
  "Your light is spent! Your light is spent!" I cried,
  As I drove the iron spike into Owen's eyes.
  The sun sped cross the plains like that cinematic moment where
  Humanity and nature collide.
  When you think, "Everything's gonna be all right,"
  Just before the hero gets a bullet in his side.
  Whizzing off the clifftop,
  Listening for the spatter, thirty floors below.
  Down come the vultures.
  I will not be your fuel anymore.
  Now the author has been silenced, how will they ever decipher me?
  I hope they hear these words and are convinced
  You never even knew me.
  I draw a bruise on your brawny shoulder,
  Scratch my fingers over your tattoos.

  Hard To Explainshow lyrics

  Hard To Explain

  Was an honest man
  Asked me for the phone
  Tried to take control
  Oh, I don't see it that way
  I don't see it that way
  Oh, we shared some ideas
  All obsessed with fame
  Says we're all the same
  Oh, I don't see it that way
  I don't see it that way
  Raised in Carolina
  "I'm not like that"
  Trying to remind her
  When we go back
  I missed the last bus, I'll take the next train
  I try but you see, it's hard to explain
  I say the right things, but act the wrong way
  I like it right here, but I cannot stay
  I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
  Well, I am too young, and they are too old
  The joke is on you, this place is a zoo
  "You're right it's true"
  Says he can't decide
  I shake my head to say
  Everything's just great
  Oh, I just can't remember
  I just can't remember
  Raised in Carolina, she says:
  " I'm not like that"
  Trying to remind her
  When we go back
  I say the right things but act the wrong way
  I like it right here but I cannot stay
  I watch the TV; forget what I'm told
  Well, I am too young, and they are too old
  Oh, man, can't you see I'm nervous, so please
  Pretend to be nice, so I can be mean
  I miss the last bus, we take the next train

  Flare Gun

  The wella woods of Belvedere.
  The peat and moss of Avenroe.
  St. Germain's canaries.
  The fortress of Alpentine.
  Oh my soul, my loyalty is to the East
  And Spectral man, and bird, and beast.
  Red soil for the taking.
  Ruddy women for your brides.

  A Man With No Anklesshow lyrics

  A Man With No Ankles

  Somewhere between her window and my doorstep
  I remembered what it was to play, to play, to play
  Don't tell me you can't remember a time before our carnal needs
  Turned us all into employers and employees
  "The future is a constant in a world of free will;
  If we are all pre-destined, the future: variable."
  I wrote it, but I don't know what it means, don't know what it means,
  But a fat-fingered wife isn't how I'm gonna end my teens.
  Upon upon upon the beauty I take the yoke and do my duty
  Do do do do do do my duty do do do do do do my duty
  Stopped by the river to fish out a fiver
  Slipped off my sandals and I waded in there
  Watched as the water licked my toes and my ankles

  What Do You Think Will Happen Nowshow lyrics

  What Do You Think Will Happen Now

  The difficulties of my story:
  Despite discomforts, despite myself, I
  I reaffirm my endless devotion
  To the belief that we're all of value,
  We're all of virtue, and so inclined we
  Fill up our cups and toast to each other,
  And though I listen to the arguments
  That most divergent systems employ to
  Debilitate us, delineate us,
  Repackage our words, demystify us,
  I unceasingly affirm my love can
  Cannot be measured, cannot be altered.
  I know, I know it, I do affirm it
  With overzealous obscurantism.
  With every word and with every gesture,
  I must express it. I can't define it,
  But all the same I know I can describe it:
  I walk o'er bridges and see the river.
  A marble statue the sun has weather'd.
  The stubbornness of the overgrowth and
  The old memorials covered in snow. We've
  Written the way the universe will go.
  A righteous white horse, a man with a bow.
  A sharpened bit of the mistletoe.
  Scissors of fate or the fire of Surtur.
  Though we're divided, the force of nature
  Will put us all in the ground together
  This morning I must get up
  To see the world around me.
  Right away, what I forgot
  In seeing ourselves as words upon a paper.
  The sun is up.
  My arms are wide.

  Export 3 (the Great Elsewhere)show lyrics

  Export 3 (the Great Elsewhere)

  Talking, what's it good for?
  Absolutely nothing.
  Wrestle, let's wrestle.
  You can pin me to anything.
  Thought I saw you in the tea leaves
  Thought I saw you in the forest flame.
  I'll fill up the silence with the sound of your holy name.
  Knowledge of the sea-ways, knowledge of how the water flows.
  Whoever coined the phrase has never had to brave the snow.
  I climbed the shroud to the top-sail and I peeked through the glass.
  The curvature bisected by the wintry mizzen mast.
  The scar upon my stomach, I call it my Flying V.
  And every time I show it, I can feel your eyes on me.
  How many islands will surrender to the blunderbuss?
  And, how long must we sail before you show your face to us?
  Followed him out to the end of the pier.
  "Don't come any closer," he cried, "I am afraid
  Of the man I'll become if I lay my
  Life down for a people that I don't even care for."
  Face to his face, I put my
  Hand into his and I tried to tell him, "No,
  I've seen his work upon the panes of cathedrals,
  In the sweat of the workers and the flight of the seagulls."
  My words were drowned out by the sound
  Of the motors and rowers, the ship as it ran aground
  And from the trees came a thousand soldiers.
  I went down on my knees with a spear in my shoulder.
  About face, about face, I swam back
  To the Victoria. I shiver with the
  Memory, memory of the island dwellers

  E Is For Estrangedshow lyrics

  E Is For Estranged

  Boys run like water from the barrel to the trough.
  They'll never stop their running.
  Gunning for their brothers.
  This house is a hostel.
  It is peaceful, but it's always emptying.
  Boys all want to be someone.
  Haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
  I am a liar, feeding facts to a false fire.
  If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit--in formal attire,
  I'll score you a string ensemble.
  I saw my son at seventeen,
  The shutters made projections on his naked frame.
  Now at twenty-five,
  He simply cannot stay away from the ketamine.
  With makeup on his sores,
  He spends an hour a day composing little eulogies.
  Sometimes he sends me letters,
  But it's mostly garbled phrases and apologies.
  But haven't you heard? I am a flightless bird.
  I am a liar, feeding facts to a false fire.
  If pathos is borne, borne out of bullshit--in formal attire,

  Keep The Dog Quietshow lyrics

  Keep The Dog Quiet

  My body is a cage.
  This union is cage about a cage about a cage.
  And this, and this town too.
  I'll see you once in a while but I can't be seen with you.
  This place is a narrative mess.
  The floor a tangle of bedsheets and battered sundress.
  The ink has dried in the well.
  The journey once was consequential,
  Now: sequential, sequential, sequential, sequential.
  When will you silence your hounds?
  The eldest sons to the altar of the Eternal Sound.
  Their blood is spilled at the dawn.
  A nation bound to your will, still, the violin plays on.
  Plays its devotional song.
  Once it was, once it was so essential,

  Honour The Dead Or Elseshow lyrics

  Honour The Dead Or Else

  Sleepy boy, did you forget about your godfather?
  For him they put a barrier about the bridge in memorium.
  Your mother never brought herself to use the word 'jump'
  Your father said "Don't be a bloody twit."
  But am I man enough to honour the dead, or else?
  Now I keep a flat-boy on the West Side
  I have the first couple of hours to myself to pretend I'm alone
  Never bothered with the inconvenience
  Of life-insurance, or a bike helmet, but I watch my back
  Honour the dead, or else
  Honour the dead and save your applause
  All the haunting is inside your head
  He pricks you when you smoke in bed
  He switches off The Cure and says,
  "Selfish, selfish sleepy boy,
  Selfish, selfish sleepy boy,
  You need someone to get in your way,

  Lewis' Dreamshow lyrics

  Lewis' Dream

  Benito was fifteen when he went off to college
  I stayed home and tried to go with his best friend
  He told me he was going to cut my neck right across
  But then he read Rousseau
  Where did he go?
  Master comes to me while I'm sleeping
  Gives me hell for my overeating
  Tells me how I should cut my hair
  You think I am only dreaming
  But I've arms of bronze and bone
  I was born into a loving home
  And of all the promises that I have made
  There's one I'll never break
  Write his name on your chest in a fever
  Sing his song to the boats on the river
  Heaven's number is seventy-one
  Our work has only just begun
  With our arms of bronze and bone
  We will set our shoulders to the stone
  We will lift it, we will bear it 'til our bodies

  Lewis Takes Action

  I got a message for the acolytes.
  I am your man for a wifey fight.
  I got a thirst for liquid gold.
  I'll bludgeon 'til the body's cold.
  The stony hiss of cockatrice has cast us into serfdom.
  I close my eyes, and spur Imelda down the mountainside
  For a liberated Spectrum.
  I took No-Face by his beak and broke his jaw, he'll never speak again.
  I took No-Face by his beak and broke his jaw, he'll never speak again.
  My every move is guided by the bidding of the singer.
  The night is split by the whistle of my amber whip

  Midnight Directives

  Cross her off the shortlist.
  My blood is a red-winged bird.
  The way will be lit by the bridges we burn, oh.
  And come, tornado!
  Carry me away from the croft.
  Ruffle my hair, bear my body aloft, oh.
  As the cutlass came down on a Saturday night,
  Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife.
  Called away into service, for a clerical life.
  Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife.
  Thought I was a sad-boy.
  Now I know, I know, I know I was wrong.
  Since you came along, I can see how content I had been.
  It'll drive a man crazy to age from the outside in.
  But I have a plan, it's a trick with a prick of a pin.
  And as the cutlass came down on a Saturday night,
  Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife.
  Called away into service, for a clerical life.
  Left an un-planted field, left my daughter and wife.
  For a man can be bought, and a man can be sold,

  Oh Heartland Up Yours!show lyrics

  Oh Heartland Up Yours!

  The stars collected.
  Each world accounted for.
  Freed all the children.
  Seems there's nothing more.
  If I only had a rowboat, I would row it up to heaven.
  And if heaven will not have me, I will take the other option.
  I will seek out my own satisfaction.
  From the wight lying in the barrow,
  To the priest with his broken arrows.
  There's a method to the madness.
  They will feign an expression of sadness.
  A concatenation of locusts,
  And the farmers are losing their focus.
  On the pitch of the Avenroe grasses
  I will sing, sing, sing to the masses
  Oh Heartland, up yours!
  The hollow voice of our 14th century.
  Too much assumption to be taken seriously.
  Oh, you wrote me like a Disney kid, in cut-offs and a beater
  With a feathered fringe, it doesn't suit a simoniac breeder.
  Doesn't work, doesn't fly, doesn't handle.
  From the wight lying in the barrow,
  To the priest with his broken arrows.
  There's a method to the madness.
  They will feign an expression of sadness.
  A concatenation of locusts,
  And the farmers are losing their focus.
  On the pitch of the Avenroe grasses
  I will sing, sing, sing to the masses
  Oh Heartland, up yours!
  My homeland.

  Red Sun No. 5

  I'd been living through days
  Carrying no burden
  But the shit of cattle
  And my resignation
  Until the sun rose crimson
  Crept across my limbs and
  I saw that they were earthen
  That they decay and worsen
  And from my ginger chest, there
  Came the sound of thunder
  I am not a father
  I am not a farmer
  I tremble to speak of it.
  Held her in my arms and
  Pressed her to my heart and
  Pressed my hand o'er her lips
  I murmured words of his love
  I will be his baron
  With him I have an ending
  With him I have completion
