A Bigger Splash

It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does
People interested in painting might be fascinated by an arm
When I was in heaven the only art I saw in time was my fare
This is how to make one's living as an artist I thought the idea
My father was painting on some crystals I saw 2 watch him do it
He began by putting a whole sheet of hardboard flush over each one
Then started painting sunsets on the floor I thought they were wonderful
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does
It is very good advice to believe only what an artist does

Means Of Escape

Through a winding staircase
which sinks
one emerges into a cell
beyond the cell
is a heavy oak door
formerly locked
which opens to another passageway
leading to the safety
of a mountain

The purposes
of this passageway were
protection of
the castle's water supply
a place of refuge
a place of torture and detention
and finally
and finally
a secret means of escape
a secret means of escape

There's Only One

big blue burgies and popcorn tunes

baby I'll stop,
there's no intelligent life down here

'there's only one'

Burning Skies

And the air was alive
with piercing sound and burning skies
the horror did me good,
the magic was on my side
and hot and cold ideas
were running onto your eyes
your sinking grey eyes
she shook his head like so much meat
the horror did me good
time to exercise

Like ice about to melt
you empty yourself of everything
it's cold and grey again
your body begins to fall
the colour blinds your eyes
the flavour dulls your taste of anything
you try to break out,
but some thing's just locked the door

(you'll get blue eyes
if you stand too close to him
and lalala lala
you die inside your dream)
I LOVE YOU LIKE YOU LOVE ME NOT
I LOVE YOU LIKE YOU LOVE ME NOT (chorus 3x)

O.K. This Is The Pops

To fall off the edge
and totally blind
to know the truth,
but only use lies
don't let trouble climb, my friend
the golden rule
don't let trouble
don't let trouble climb
o.k. this is the pops

creep, creep, creep up
but don't ever be real
know the truth,
but tell only lies
the golden rule is, my friend,
don't ever be real
the golden rule
use only your eyes
o.k. this is the pops (4x)

o.k. this is the pops (4x)

a good walker leaves no tracks
a good door needs no lock
only one weakness inside
no one can be sure, my friend,
where truth begins and fiction ends
noone can be sure save your eyes
o.k. this is the pops (9x)

o.k. this is the

Go!

Living it up - it's a big kick
it's good for you
watch the big freeze slip
crack the jackpot, get out of control
if you put yourself down,
you'll never win - get out of that hole
keep your mind open,your head up
you'll never - ever- get old

go!

your whole world could change
if only you just broke through
'cause the fears inside your head
'cause your fears are doing nothing for you
keep your head up, your mind open
you'll always, always come through
'cause living it up, it's a big deal
it's good for you

swap your dull grey thoughts
for fierce demands you can stand up to
don't put yourself down, you'll never win
so let's all smash through
through the fear of being real
through the fear of being really you
'cause living it up, it's a big deal
it's good for you

living it up, it's a big kick
- it's good for you

Christian Says

Christian says everyone's to love him
Christian says just let go
Christian says you can't be happy being this way
Christian says he'll never let you go
Christian says he can't let you, let you run free
'cause Christian says he needs you so

in this age of frozen freaks
the only highs we get are low
in this age of cold relief
brings only what a way to go
with the money in your pocket
you say wise and always free
but with that money in your pocket
you've got nowhere to go

but baby, baby, baby wants an empire
baby, baby, baby needs a real thief
'cause baby,baby,baby wants an empire
baby, baby, baby wants a real piece

these words hang empty in the air
the only sounds you speak are dumb
and I'm a vampire
in this age of golden grief
your own reflection's on the blink
this burning isuue won't cease
this burning issue's got to go

'cause baby, baby, baby wants an empire
baby, baby, baby wants a real piece
'cause baby, baby, baby needs an empire
baby, baby, baby wants a real piece

Twist

as tomorrow's man and a topless bee
jump over your head, remember me
don't get confused by a dieing sky and sea

the panda club has an odds on bet
mr. music man needs a string quartet
on the planet where the alphabet starts with z

energy and confidence
buzz high in your consciousness
don't get confused by an early morning rain
cause the panda club has an odds on bet
mr. music man needs a string quartet
on the planet where the alphabet starts with z

man and moon plays a melody
that you can't forget, so remember me
twist with tomorrow's man and me

man and moon plays a melody
that you can't forget, so remember me
twist with tomorrow's man and me
twist with tomorrow's man and me
twist with tomorrow's man and me
