1. YEAR (OF YOU)

I lost my phone
I forgot the way home
I waited and I got stupid
I'm fat with the drink
And my mind on the brink

I turn on the same spot
Til the page wore through

Year on, year on, year on, year of you
Year on, year on, year on, year of you

Two heads on the block
An umbilicus knot
Whatever you do just look busy
His golden locks won't float
And they're gonna sink your boat
With the weight of his misery

I turn on the same spot
Til the page wore through

Year on, year on, year on, year of you
Year on, year on, year on, year of you

Dug in dug out
Up on enemy lines
The cat got the cream
But the imperative's all mine
Dug in dug out
I got a terrible thirst
Don't care if you win
Just as long as I'm first

I turn on the same spot...

Year on, year on, year on, year of you
Year on, year on, year on, year of you


2. ANGEL

A black soot stain
Struck across the sky
The shadow crept up the wall and stayed
Eclipse in her daddies eye

She prepared for an occupation
She climbed, she cut away
But with each cut the root grew deeper
And she drowned in his blood embrace

So where are your angels?
Where are your angels?

A dirty old claw caught at her breast
Blood on the kitchen floor
A tightrope yawning at her undress
Her skyline all rip and torn

She prepared for an occupation
She climbed, she cut away
The crows to steal on her battlefield
Sharpen her bloodied nail

So where are your angels?
Where are your angels?

Charlie's rack salt Peter
Pissing spit and claw
The crows to steal on her battlefield
She's down on the bedroom floor

She collapse in a rain of whale spill
She ride the briding spree
She white feather blind
On her washing line
I cut cut cut cut her free

So where are your angels?
Where are your angels?


3. KILLER (TITS)

Now you're a life's obsession
I'm lying here sick with the bleed
There's a body in the basket
And no one needs my need

Feet to kick down
But no tread to the spin
I'm getting too fat and now I'm getting too thin

You said I was the only one to bring you off that way
You said I was the only one to bring you off that way

Will I ever grow out of this torture?
Swipe fight turn out the lights
It's a no-win situation
Another day ends with her head in the noose

Now I'm lying here
Must not flicker or move
Write down every time it happens to you

You said I was the only one to bring you off that way
You said I was the only one to bring you off that way

Punch drunk braindead down on the floor
Back on my knees, you got me begging for more
Punch drunk braindead down on the floor
Back on my knees, you got me begging for more

You said I was the only one to bring you off that way
You said I was the only one to bring you off that way
You said I was the only one to bring you off that way
You said I was the only one to bring you off that way


4. NIGHT CURSE

Careening crazy and awaked
Night spark make her escape
Spinning sick on the whack of a wheel

Headlamp flashing close by
Banging eyes
Fireflies
Drip in burst
'Gainst the keening lean
Of my night curse

Have I drunk my brain away?
Has he shouted my thinking out?
Well here I am still thinking just entirely devoid of anything
That I would consider of worth
Just a ghost on this earth
'Gainst the keening lean
Of my night curse

No I don't know what to do
Do you know what to do?
I don't know what to do
You do, do you?

No I don't know what to do
Do you know what to do?
I don't know what to do
You don't, do you?

There is a fist around a brittle stem
Shake a fine dust off my tongue
I hear the shriek of a molecule
As she gets sucked and lacerated through a filter of you

Headlamp flashing close by
Banging eyes
Fireflies
Drip in burst
'Gainst the keening lean
Of my night curse

No I don't know what to do
Do you know what to do?
I don't know what to do
You do, do you?

No I don't know what to do
Do you know what to do?
I don't know what to do
You don't, do you?

Careening crazy and awaked
Night spark make her escape
Spinning sick on the whack of a wheel
Headlamp flashing close by
Banging eyes
Fireflies
Drip in burst
'Gainst the keening lean
Of my night curse

No I don't know what to do
Do you know what to do?
I don't know what to do
You do, do you?

No I don't know what to do
Do you know what to do?
I don't know what to do
You don't, do you?
You don't, do you?
You don't, do you?


5. LICK

I got your skinny hips
Machine gun in the brain
Someone light the touch paper
You're napalm crack cocaine

You lick the itch
You trip the switch
Oooooohhhh

I'm sitting on a stockpile
Someone light the fuse
I'll make a pretty fucking mess
When I rain down on you

I got your skinny hips
Machine gun in the brain
Someone light the touch paper
You're napalm crack cocaine

You lick the itch
You trip the switch
Oooooohhhh

I run a million miles
I burn it in the dust

I got a double helix
We keep it between friends
Someone stole the other half
To drive me round the bend


6. CROW

The crows the crows
Sitting on a fence
Voices disappear behind a bank of clouds
It's a dismal forecast
Her torn up skirt a backdrop
And drop she does

The crows the crows
Oh no the crows
The crows the crows
The crows the crows

Lawnmower Joe
Cut himself up on stones
The crows the crows
A little too close for comfort
A park boy curious about a homeless halfway house
Crying crumpled

Oh no the crows
The crows the crows
She might shape up real nice
One of those

The crows the crows
Oh no the crows
The crows the crows
Oh no the crows

She's not intimidated
A used up rag wasted
The crows scratch out my errant thoughts
Into some order
Line them up on a fence
I look around
They've flown

Oh no the crows
The crows the crows
Oh no the crows
The crows the crows


7. YOU (DON'T LOVE ME)

When I look at you I get confused
You seem to be more me than you
When I look you in the eye
The universe collapsed and died
When I throw the windows wide
I heard you breathe our suicide

Cause you don't love me
You don't love me

When I heard you crying in the night
I swear it's my voice locked outside
An alien tongue in an alien mouth
The compass splits magnetic south
The molten ore and lava flow
I crawl through glass on broken bones

Cause you don't love me
You don't love me

Crash and burn of a blackened heart
A suitcase full of body parts
Planted in my womb a seed
And I gave birth to you and me
When I look you in the eye
A double helix suicide

Cause you don't love me
You don't love me


8. RUBY

Kill or be killed
I applaud it
Get away from me if you don't want it

Who could blame me?
Well you could maybe

I'm still in love with you and I'm black and blue

Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife

The hangman's daughter
Stockholm syndrome
Cut right through him
Let the light in

Kill or be killed
I applaud it
So get away from me if you don't want it

Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife

Your schizophrenia
A broken light bulb
Must let the light in
Get the truth told

Who could blame me?
You could maybe

I'm still in love with you and I'm black and blue

Naked Ruby cried
He fell onto the knife
Naked Ruby cried


9. HAPPY NOW

I'll break your legs if I find out you are fucking him
Composure balanced by the drink
A slack jaw black djin

Smiles all bent and broken
If you are fucking him
Let's drink this precious moment
We sink it in the djin

Are you happy now?

Filled with bile and bruising
Against the kitchen sink
Give me a kiss
I'll slash my wrist
We'll watch the blood run pink

All those butterfly notions
Crash down from the sky
We'll watch her drown
Burn your house down
These stinking sheets we lie

Are you happy now?

Did you break a sweat?
Did you get wet?
Give me time to think
If you make an excuse make it obtuse
I'm hanging in the brink

Libido sucked up and spat out
Uh huh she's gone to seed
Let's set a course onto the rocks
Fuck you let's live the dream


10. LIFE (SUPPORT)

Your dog has lost his tag and now he has no name
Your mobile phone drink deep of vodka and shame

Watching you as you move
I see you panicking in your locked room
It took me a lifetime to realise you were just an actor
A curtain twitcher's feast
I lie down in incoming traffic and I make my peace
It took me a lifetime to realise I was just an anchor

Somebody turn off the life support machine
Somebody turn off the life support please
Somebody turn off the life support machine
Somebody turn off the life support please

A gap to fill in your gill
Wrap it up as a pill
I got down on your lap steel
Just me and the crows and the garden fence
Searching for hard-earned recompense

Somebody turn off the life support machine
Somebody turn off the life support please
Somebody turn off the life support machine
Somebody turn off the life support please

A broken racket machination
Like a madman masturbating in the train station
Circuitous defeat
Deafening sideways rush
Still standing grimace
As I collapse to the floor

Somebody turn off the life support machine
Somebody turn off the life support please
Somebody turn off the life support machine
Somebody turn off the life support please


11. HEAVEN (NO MORE/DON'T LOOK DOWN)

Angel in formaldehyde
A woman's torso in the gin
Hanging up the washing line
Lopsided grin

Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
(Don't look down)
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more

She stood idle by
As the house fell down
Whisper of a child slip away on a thread
Black hole parenthesis making no sound
We're all going to fall from the window ledge

Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
(You looked down)
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more
Ain't nothing for her in Heaven no more


12. COME DOWN
