| BEHIND CLOSED DOORS (1981) (MUSCUTT) Behind closed doors they wonder, wonder if what they did was right Behind closed doors locked and bolted they cry so hard at night Because they had it so good and it lasted such a short time They decided to get rid of the thing that was yours and mine too Derailed finally by the chaos there was never time devoted to grieving Decided finally by chance there was never time devoted to conceiving Behind those closed doors they remained so cold so cold And now it�s getting late it�s getting on it�ll soon be time it�ll soon be gone So say goodbye to your daughter and move on move on Because it�s nearly dawn it�s getting there the sun will soon be rising OK, sorry about this, we�re switching forward in time again after the �Damn, Girl Kid� songs, this is from the parents of the dead baby�s point of view and how they feel regret about killing their baby and everything. So the final set list for the �1971� piece is: �1971�/�The Way Things Were� (1974)/�A Photograph� (1976)/�In The End� (1979)/�Brought Into The World� (1980)/�Damn, Girl Kid (Parts One and Two)�/�Behind Closed Doors� (1981). THE GIRLS NEXT DOOR/THE ALLISON SISTERS (MUSCUTT) The Allison sisters are coming to call for you to ask if you�d like to go to their house to play They�ll insist and they�ll persuade you to visit sometime and play their tricks on you Ten years later you�ll be forced to choose between them a bitter feud resulting in rivalry A contest for affection a tournament of relationships which one to choose which one to write off They have a way each and both of them of making you seem so very small But you�ve had them both as well as each other and now is the time to make your decision The Allison sisters are grown up now but they still come calling to ask if you�d like to play a game They�ll insist and they�ll persist but you know better than to get burned by playing with fire It�s ten years later and emotions engulfed you now you stay out of the fight stay at home with the kids They play a dangerous game after all this time you dare not say which one you wanted to love Not now not ever like birds of a feather they�ll stay together through thick and thin but it makes you think If you�d gone with your feelings how different things might have been This is a song about sibling rivalry, and how two sisters go after the same man and things can generally get a bit messy. This song takes the story up from childhood, and how years later both girls are vying for the affections of this one guy, who actually shags them both at one time or another, but ultimately learns to stay out of it. Then a further ten years on, the guy is happily married with kids, and the sisters are still going at it, trying to be with the same man. INCISIONS (MUSCUTT) Cut me deeper make another incision I came back for more so give it to me please Yeah stick the knife in push the blade into my back I came back for more and you�ll give it to me Incisions in prison makes for happy breeding incision decision give my body feeling Far from home the damage is done dreading the feeling when the information comes in One of your favourites availability taken away to somewhere in Henley Green Incisions in prison makes for happy breeding incision decision give my body feeling yeah Hmm, bit of everything in here really. The fourth line down is about how many bills we seemed to get when I was in my last year of university, because we had cable TV and people were making international phone calls and shit. I felt really guilty because my mum and dad were giving me a lot of financial help and I just felt like I was sponging off them. It was horrible, it really was. Notice I�m writing this in the past tense, even though I�m still here (until June � fucking hell). The rest of the song, I�ve got no idea what it�s about, sorry. ANOTHER LONG NIGHT (MUSCUTT) Have you ever had those nights when you wish you could just lay down and die When your eyes are getting heavy but the night won�t let you get no sleep You force yourself to stay awake you�re running out of time to take Away the much needed effects of sleeping It�s another long night spent selling yourself to a monitor all the others went home long ago It�s another long night spent killing yourself for a dollar a few pounds more to take back home Was it all worth it? Did you reap the seeds that you had sown that night Or was it just another waste of your time waste of your life again? You see a candle burning bright but your own is burning low So slow the time it slips away and now the first light of dawn is breaking It�s another long night spent selling yourself to a monitor all the others went home long ago It�s another long night spent killing yourself for a dollar a few pounds more to take back home We�ve all had times when we�ve stayed awake all night, surely. I know I have, been out or watching videos until really late then looked out the window and it�s getting light again � I wouldn�t recommend it because it kind of messes with your body clock and you end up sleeping all day. This is about people who work themselves to death doing overtime when frankly it�s not worth it. LOSING MY MIND (MUSCUTT) She tells me it�s alright to go to sleep at night she says it�s all the same when you go insane She tells me I�m OK the same as yesterday nobody knows I�ve changed but I became deranged yeah Because I�m losing my mind and now I can�t find the point where it began to slide I try telling everyone that I cannot find the door where I came in somehow it always turns out the same She tells me it�s a joke all I can do is choke she shows me the way direction to take today She tells me to stop because I�ve reached the top and now I�m starting to go I�m sliding down so low yeah Because I�m losing my mind and now I can�t find the point where it began to slide I try telling everyone that I cannot find the door where I came in somehow it always turns out the same Losing I�m losing I�m losing I�m losing my mind abusing misusing disclosing everything I find Because I�m losing my mind and now I can�t find the point where it began to slide I try telling everyone that I cannot find the door where I came in somehow it always turns out the same Another one I think everyone has experienced at some point � a feeling when you think you can�t cope with things and they just get on top of you. I do all the time, it�s university you see�does things to a man�unspeakable things. |
