Lions

lions always hit the heights
'cause to kill it's always been an easy way out
lions always hit the heights
'cause to kill it's always been an easy way out

after a couple of drinks I think straight
tears of joy sort the little girl out
something you always wanted

and curvey lorraine always leads the way,
admitting her love, it drips and drips
something you always wanted

gini,gini, look at me, gini
I let the stare that tries to cripple you
slide down my back
gini, gini, speak to me, gini,
I let the words they shove in front of you
crawl right back

lions always hit the heights
'cause to kill it's always been an easy way out
lions always hit the heights
'cause to kill it's always been an easy way out

'cause we take this world by storm
we don't look back
let the stare that tries to cripple you
slide down my back
'cause the wheels keep us far apart
we can't look back
let the words they shove in front of you
crawl right back

lions always hit the heights
'cause to kill it's always been an easy way out

War

you're given two sets of clues
with the answers all the same
and a two-speed crossword
called 'love in the suds'
your bullet holes are screaming
wearing shoes you should be seen in
with a brave knife and fork
we're all set to go flying
comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)
wow

your thought for the weeks
in the river, river, river
feels something like a crow
flying round with the planes
and the fish down under
coming up with rust inside
and your summer days were spent
collecting soap opera stories
comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)
wow

saved by the music makers
speed boat to freedom
with the beautiful people
bullet holes in your head
but you're running out of time
and you're running out of freedom
now the animal crackers
all set to go flying
comes trouble - here comes trouble (2x)

here comes trouble - comes trouble (6x)
here comes trouble

Happiness

to be without desire
destroys a different style
to let her pass you by
- it's no good

if only we could walk away
with all this out my way
to be without you
- it's no good

to grab the biggest cake
gives life its zest and taste
this is the truth, my friend
- it's not good

happiness is success
success brings hope
hope - it's not good

The Never Never (Is Forever)

On the wild, wild night
you were so fast and flash it stings
but life's too short - never came through
The last straw never waits
than its bang goes your bomb
sparks keep flying then - broke in two
A flash of white light
a thrilling hope, some pure surprise
but it's always smashed in two
And right now
the never never is forever, just forever
nothing's wrong - fault is you

Your white face against the wall
always waiting in vain,
this mental tortures on the cards for you
You, you, you spin yourself blind
you spin so fast and flash it flickers
running backwards then - smashed in two
And right now
the never never is forever, just forever
nothing's wrong - fault is you
And right now
the never never is forever, just forever
there's nothing wrong - the fault is you

down for you is up (4x)

down for you is up (10x)

Performance

A branch of cold flames
hangs over your head
the one thing you could never burn
Its shadow's hanging over you
the shadow's never there
explodes all over again

shakes - we take control today
shakes - give all your secrets away
sahkes - give us your soul today
shakes - give it all away

To crush this foolish pride
I'm standing under glass
trying to break through all the time
But deception never fails
can't discover what's seen
what's seen behind these cold eyes

shakes - give us your soul today
shakes - give all your secrets away
shakes - we take control today
shakes - give it all away

Shadows over masses
faces guncharge
it was too much fun all the time
She said your death must come first
to make this dream more real
you'll never be free again

shakes - give us your soul today
shakes - give all your secrets away
shakes - we take control today
shakes - give it all away

shakes (3x)

shakes - shakes - s... (fading)

Slender Fungus

Love and hope and sex and dreams
pride and joy, fast cars, ice cream
jet black hair, soft socks and shoes
let's fish around, free air again
golden madness, feed off dead meat
time not lost, but sold white teeth
we want victory, we want truth
a million stars move into view

slender fungus was a disc of shiny concrete
slender fungus was a disc, a shiny ball of meat
slender fungus sucks the toes that linger round your feet
slender fungus eats in bed before he goes to sleep

Feeling good here in the rain
worms dancing, dancing in our veins
I am you, but you're not me
bitter dolls, these always free
dance 'til it hurts, in a midnight glow
truth is simple, can't ever say no
flames fly higher, look up the moon
watching demons again, neither are you

slender fungus was a disc of shiny concrete
slender fungus was a disc, a shiny ball of meat
slender fungus kissed a fish inside a stolen jeep
slender fungus eats

But we play all the things we are
bomb song, swan song, red hot jazz
burn ourselves out, just to please
back to a car, get on your knees
big, big bomb song, gets burnt out
light your fire, move into view
you can do better
you can do better
you can do better, that's only true

slender fungus was a disc of shiny concrete
slender fungus was a disc, a shiny ball of meat
slender fungus sucks the toes that linger round your feet
slender fungus eats in bed before he goes to sleep

Movement of Fear

Your eyes flash bright
but no longer have fire
everywhere you turn
this world is your shadow
with a pretty face
you burn so many eyes

this is the movement of fear

weird pop
you can't control
a smashing guy
a sack of gold
teach me to be happy
teach me control

this is the movement of fear
this is the movement of fear

loved the stare
that never cracked
loved the doors
they were never locked
loved the fools
at your finegertips

this is the movement of fear
this is the movement of fear
thie is the movement of fear
this is the movement of fear

Real Life

give me something for nothing
give me too much too soon
I'm so damn sick of your stupid rules

give him something for nothing
give him too much too soon
he's so damn sick of your stupid rules

tell me why do we always get what we want
when we don't want it no more
and how do you feel now
we still sound so sick
still fish around, in waters you know so well

give me something for nothing
give me too much too soon
we're so damn sick of your rules

(we don't want your progress
we wanna be first)
give me something for nothing
give me too much too soon
we're so damn sick

Real Life (4x)

the world's at my feet
but in your arms
a seeker of real silence am I
deepest dreams come to real life
shall I

colours on the landscape grow brighter now
the long,dark years have passed by
is the coffin of your true love
true love

Real Life (10x)

(..) is what I hear.

Rain

ooh the rain
ooh the rain

she said, time to crush this feeling
writing very long letters as soon as it rains
ooh the rain
ooh the rain

to dance the night away
he watches topless pin-up faces
a million different jackpots
with a thousand different gazes

ooh the rain
ooh the rain
ooh the rain
ooh the rain

but it's time to crush this feeling
as soon as it rains
ooh the rain
but it's time to crush this feeling
as soon as it rains
ooh the rain
