I can’t even eat I can’t even sleep, mind’s racing with thoughts I’m thinking about you
You’re able to talk, you’re able to drink, I’m burning on up so what do you think?
You gave me a sign, I know that you’re mine, I’ll treat you so fine I’m thinking about you
You’re able to talk, your able to drink, I’m burning on up so what do you think?
The house that you’re in, the lights are so bright, I see you undress I stay there at night
The man that you’re with, he treats you so well, I see that you hate him - I’ll send him to hell
Your house is so warm, but you are so cold, we could have been soul mates until we got old
I can’t even eat, I can’t even sleep, now do you approve? Now what do you think?
The police had been told but they were so bold, they’d certainly not been thinking about you.
Your family had fought and many had sought to access the right for a judicial review
The banging of doors, the mopping of floors but don’t you forget, I did this for you
I can’t even eat, I can’t even sleep, now do you approve? Now what do you think?

Went to see my women the other day, so say the things I had to say.
She wouldn’t see me anyway, so I took my leave and that was me.
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Went to see my mates to clear my mind, to say the least you’ve been unkind.
And then I saw you with someone else, what made it worse you’re my best friend.
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress
Devil in a dress

Hey!

Hey little girl, are you happy in this world? Will you make it or will you stay misunderstood?
Don’t be shy, make sure they get to hear your voice. Make your mark and have no fear.
Hey little boy, why don’t you put down all your toys? Will you make changes or will you leave to someone else?
Sink or swim! Make that leap, be determined to say your piece. Don’t care what other people think.
Take a view. Stand for what you believe. Don’t get dragged down. Be optimistic.
So are you happy? Did what you set out to do? For the better or déjà-vu.

Put them in the bed, is all that she said. Make them high, make them touch the sky.
Put them in the ground they won’t make a sound. Make them low and no-one will know.
Put them in the car, and make them see stars. Leatherette and lace, hides a happy face.

Well you win and I lose, look around and there’s nothing to choose. Well I’m here and you’re there, all I see is your sandy blonde hair.
Well your son did the work, just trying to dish the dirt. You came to silence the man who came to take the prize from your hands.
You dispatched two would-be assassin, you’re vicious you’re no novice. Congressional powder keg, one day it’s going to blow your legs.

Higher than the tallest sky scraper, must be pay day today. A flyer, she’s a total flyer, and she’ll do it again.
Aspire, you’re only stoking the fire, yet they’re queuing up. Attire, you’re wearing the right stuff, something new every day.
Let’s cum together, learn to love one another let’s cum together, cum together now
Let’s cum together, whatever the weather lets cum together, cum together now,
Let’s cum together whatever the fella, a midnight marshmallow

Compass Kills

In the South hot summer nights, atmosphere’s electric, people celebrate in the warm air, unaware
Further North the Eagles soar, crowd are ecstatic, above the heads the rifles roar, get on the floor!
We didn’t ask for this, we never wanted this, but that’s the way it is.
I can’t trust you anymore, I can’t see you any more, I can’t take it anymore, I will get up off the floor.
In the East the people walk through the crowded market, no one sees the lone man come with his padded jacket
In the West the gunman walks through the college campus, the last thing the students see is his smiling face.
We didn’t ask for this, we never wanted this, but that’s the way it is.
I can’t trust you anymore, I can’t see you any more, I can’t take it anymore, I will get up off the floor.

Cat smile on a windy day, cat smile as the children play, cat smile as the world turns away. Cat smile as the neighbours fight, cat’s laughing with all his might, cat smiles as the blood flows
Cat smile as his master lies, cat smiling counting flies, cat smiling as the bag gets zipped up. Cat smiles as the bailiffs come, cat’s smiling furniture gone, cat wonders what’s for tea?
Cat smiles on a windy day, cat smiles as the children play, cat’s now living at the Cat’s Protection League.

I don’t care, the way you wear your hair, it makes them stop and stare at you
And I don’t mind what makes you so unkind, it helps me to unwind at night
It’s hard to see what makes you stay with me. It’s hard for me to, to think nice things about you.
But I’ve been thinking lately the way you try to bait me; it turns my brain to gravy. Neat, neat, neat.
And I’ve been thinking lately the way you truly hate me; it turns my brain to gravy. Neat, neat, neat.
Well I don’t care the way you wear your hair, but when you’re in the ground, you won’t care.

The Scene

There’s nothing to see, there’s nothing here for you and me
There’s nothing here, there’s nothing to do but disappear
You’re looking at me; you look straight through but you cannot see
We’re walking away, shedding light on another day.
The scene is dead, long live the scene
The scene is dead, long live the scene
The scene is dead, long live the scene
The scene is dead, long live the scene
The scene is dead, long live the scene
The scene is dead, long live the scene
The scene is dead, long live the scene
The scene is dead, long live the scene
