Love Is Dead Nothing ever goes right nothing really flows in my life No one really cares if no one ever shares my bed People push by with fear in their eyes in my life Love is dead, love is dead The telephone rings but no one ever thinks to speak to me The traffic speeds by but no one's ever stopped here yet Intelligent friends don't care in the end believe me Love is dead, love is dead And plastic people wear imaginary smiles Exchanging secrets at the back of their minds Plastic people, plastic people Nothing ever goes right nothing really flows in my life No one really cares if there's horrors inside my head People push by with fear in their eyes in my life Love is dead, love is dead Love is dead, love is dead Love is dead, love is dead Love is dead, love is dead Love is dead, love is dead And all the lies that you've given us And all the things that you said And all the lies that you've given us Blow like wind in my head One Lazy Morning Wipe the winter from your pillow Take the cups from the machine Vapour trails in the clear blue sky Spell your name in Japanese One lazy morning when life is a breeze One lazy morning am I gonna find Jesus in me? Does he watch me when I'm sleeping like a psycho on a lead? Does he hear what I am thinking? Does he care what I believe? One lazy morning when life if a breeze One lazy morning am I gonna find Jesus in me? One lazy morning when life is a breeze One lazy morning am I gonna find Jesus in me? Dust And Rain I tidy your wayward hair I buy clothes you never wear I try to kiss all your tears away I freeze you in Polaroids And capture your dark brown voice I'm with you cos there's no choice in the end I am the dust, you are the rain I am the needle and you are the vein And this is the moment that words can't explain I'm am the dust And your love's like an overdose With your hands wrapped around my throat Using sex like an antidote to the pain I am the dust, you are the rain I am the needle and you are the vein And this is the moment that words can't explain I'm am the dust I am the dust and you are the rain And I am the needle and you are the vein And yes this is the moment that words can't explain I'm am the dust, you are the rain Intimacy Killer inside stares back from the mirror Dust in his eyes, waiting for exchange Intimacy, I want you to be part of me Intimacy, I want you to be part of me Sex is the card the animals are playing Let's take it too far and eat the pain away Intimacy, I want you to be part of me Intimacy, I want you to be part of me Intimacy, intimacy Intimacy, I want you to be part of me To The Winter Called you on your private number Left a message on your mobile phone Even tried the operator When I call, no one's home Trying just so hard to reach you Tried to keep this thing alive You're the one that I need to speak to Didn�t you know there's a monster inside? If you're gone I'll carry on but Deep inside I'll give my heart to the winter If you leave I'll take this blade Carve your name to my ugliness So I went and sat in Crystal Palace By the plastic dinosaurs In my pocket was a piece of paper And the writing looked like yours Started picking through our conversations And kicking through the rotting leaves Never realized the implication Didn�t you know there's a monster in me? If you're gone I'll carry on but Deep inside I'll give my heart to the winter If you leave I'll take this blade Carve your name to my ugliness Summer's gone and there's no sun, what have I done? I've lost my love to the winter Now my heart is cold and dark, what have I done? I've given our love away Scorpio Rising There�s anger in their skin It�s just a style for them They move with murder in their veins By cardboard filled-in doors They pass the day like whores And kiss their innocence away Scorpio rising Scorpio rising Scorpio rising It�s on the wind Their lies are analyzed By intellectual types Who know the depths of their disease And love is just a game To pass the hours away To spend indifference on your knees Scorpio rising Scorpio rising Scorpio rising It�s on the wind Scorpio rising Scorpio rising Scorpio rising It�s on the wind It�s on the wind It�s on the wind It�s on the wind The Infinite Kiss And when your clothes are on the ground And you hair is falling down Will you surrender to it now? Because yes only we exist In our symphony of flesh In our universe of bliss In the infinite kiss The infinite kiss As it subjugates you now As it pins you to the ground Like a tethered animal As it drags you by the hips And it forces you to this It is hell but it is bliss It's the infinite kiss The infinite kiss It's the infinite kiss The infinite kiss As you move like a machine And the child within you screams 'When is heaven so obscene?' It's a playground of excess It is poetry made flesh It's our symphony of bliss The infinite kiss The infinite kiss It's the infinite kiss It's the infinite kiss Colour Of The Night My love she hides a cruel disease It's the bullet in her mind It's the plan between her knees It's the colour of the night It's the number of the beast My love she dreams of Tel Aviv She's got nails in her hands And nails in her feet She's not from the holly land But she thinks she used to be Tell me when was hell so beautiful? Tell me with your words that disagree Tell me with reason carved like granite Tell me so that I can be free My love she's like a cruel disease She's the bullet in my mind She's got a plan between her knees She's the colour of the night She's stirs the beast in me The More We Possess The Less We Own Ourselves Baby thought she really needed that sofa Baby thought she really wanted that dress Baby thought she really had to have two cars Baby thought she really had to say yes But the more she possessed The more she'd slide into debts And the more she possessed The less she owned of herself Baby thought she really needed that hairstyle Baby thought she really had to say yes Baby really needed acres of carpets Though she'd be happy if she had larger breasts Everybody said you can't live without them Everybody said you have to say yes So baby spent her everything on this lifestyle But it's a lifestyle that doesn�t exist And the more she possessed The more she'd slide into debts And the more she possessed The less she owned of herself Yes the more we possess The more we are in debt And the more we possess The less we own of ourselves Ebony Strangers just the other day Walked right up and asked your name Vodka in the after noon Drunk so much we left our food Ebony now here we go Moving fast and moving slow And my liver is in your hands Make me a bad man Wandered down to Lisson Grove It was somewhere I used to go We saw faces in the trees The traffic whispered 'Ebony' Ebony now here we go Moving fast and moving slow And my liver is in your hands Make me a bad man I'll take you where the pigeons fly And I'll tell you pretty lies When nothing really makes much sense All you need is confidence Ebony now here we go Moving fast and moving slow And my liver is in your hands Make me a bad man Song For My Father Now my body is sand And the wind blows through me Like the soil on your hand I am compost and leaves And my life is gone, darling And now I am free And my life is gone darling Like words made of sand Like the shivering trees And my life was a flower And love was the leaves But nobody saw Any beauty in me And my life is gone, darling And now I am free And my life is gone, darling Like words made of sand Like the shivering trees When your life is gone, darling And when you are free When your life is gone, darling Your words made of sand So be nothing with me
