UNSEEN ATTRACTIONS (MUSCUTT)
Before tonight I never even knew you existed but now the end of the evening is here
And I think there�s something between us saying so much but words can�t communicate
The feelings that pass between us this is the start of something good
And I know it must sound stupid when I say I want to see you again
Because to this moment I�ve never seen your face
But this is how good things begin we only talk when there�s a connection
And while the chances are remote I think there�s something between us
And I want this to be the start of something good
And I know it must sound stupid when I say I want to see you again
Because to this moment I�ve never even seen your face
But this is how the good things begin when it�s unseen tonight
Everything about you seems what I want to see in me and I know I�ve seen the good things tonight

I wrote this song for a girl who I met which she said was very sweet of me. Using one of my creative outlets to woo someone, you see? Comes in pretty handy! Actually I sent a different version of this song to her, I can�t remember the bits I altered. I met her over the internet which was pretty lucky really, considering she doesn�t have a computer.

DAMN, GIRL KID (PART ONE) (MUSCUTT)
Curses at birth you didn�t want her your failed abortion unwanted in the hospital leave her to drown
Damn your girl child forget about her leave her to drown deformed at birth was it your fault? Or do you care?
You�ve forgotten your girl child in a post natal depression haze
Curse yourself at birth what are you going to do with her
Abandoned in the hospital abandoned and waiting to drown
Damn your girl child forget about her love and leave her to drown deformed at birth is not your problem

This is about a teenage girl giving birth to an unwanted baby, and finding out it�s deformed. The mother then abandons the baby in the river and leaves it there. There�s a second part to this, which switches to the baby�s point of view on being left for dead. Someone told me this was quite a sick song once, but I can�t see why. As I mentioned with part two, this is a �prequel� song about the baby.

CHAIN-STORES AND RAZOR BLADES (MUSCUTT)
Fits so perfectly never active anymore you�re so in-hospitable sitting in your chair
Light from underneath the door full boxes of bones in the hall
Second coat design journal laid in red drawn curtains twitch sit in your cave drawing patterns in the sand
Twin disposal worth more than the two of you the same foam padding ambidextrous ambiguity design flaw
It never rings it never rings oh it never rains when it pours
Alarm being raised in the corridor fall on your face laughing
Silent noise in sickness and in health longer living than it should be
Stronger than it ever could be create misleading perspective

More weird nonsense that was written as I was coming out of my weird phase. As a result it�s probably weirder than most of the weird songs on account of it being one of the last weird songs in the weird phase. Weird.

CONCEPT PORNOGRAPHY (MUSCUTT)
Consumer perceptions of what is acceptable to us your constant concept of pornography remains
In a mirrored sense of yourself tell me how I�m supposed to act
When you say these things to me it�s a consequence of your concept pornography

There�s (sorry, there was, he�s dead now) a brilliant stand up comedian from America called Bill Hicks who did a sketch on pornography once. He said people should be able to make their own minds up on porn and whether they watch it/buy it and that sexual images and intercourse had been around long before porn films and magazines. I have to agree with him, people should be allowed to think whether something is offensive or not and be able to buy it freely if they want to. It�s a matter of choice at the end of the day � if you don�t like it, don�t watch it/read it!

SUFFOCATION DEADLINE (MUSCUTT)
Suffocate me before the sun falls again suffocate me before my brain denies again
Deliberate me before my walls fall in again, again, again
You�ve got a deadline to stick to or you�ll be in trouble make a good job of me boy

Another film reference in this one � from �Gangster Number One� this time, the very last line which says �make a good job of me boy�. It�s from this part of the film where this rookie gangster goes to a rival gangland bosses� house and butchers him in a not very nice way. The song is about�well, killing someone before the day is over. Don�t ask why.

MISINFORMED (BUT I LIKE IT THAT WAY) (MUSCUTT)
Nobody tells me anything anymore so misinformed I wander from place to place
Seeing nothing but faces the same blank faces everywhere everyday
It�s all the same when you get the wrong information forced to re-arrange actions not undone by you
Why can�t it be the same as it was when we were boys? You used to tell me everything and anything
As if I could have helped you anyway but now you�re silent and empty like a shell
As if I care now anyway I�ll have to find out for myself I�ll have to find out for myself
But I like it that way your stereotypical shit doesn�t cut it anymore when you invade my privacy
Your interminable flip between prophecy and Prozac doesn�t win you any votes
And you�re personally responsible for ruining my dreams of being in control and of being informed
Our dreams always get destroyed in the end I guess I wished too hard wished too hard
And now I�m misinformed but I prefer it that way blissfully ignorant you think you�ll get away

There are some people who are just total control freaks and need to know everything that is going on in people�s lives � like when you go out with someone who gets insanely jealous if you�ve been out without them or with other friends and demands to know where you�ve been. I don�t really like people like that.

INWARD FREAK (MUSCUTT)
Affiliation with your abortion decision reigns over me stay indoors it�s not healthy to breathe in the germs outside
We�ll protect you from all danger we�ll protect you till we die because you�re valuable yes you�re a freak
Because you�re different to us yes you�re a freak availability is the key to taking your insides with me
On the interior it�s safe and clean we�ll sterilise you from them
We�ll sterilise your little brain sterilise your soul forever to keep you with us to keep you from danger
Because you�re valuable to them yes you�re a freak because you�re different to them yes you�re a freak

Some science fiction stuff happening here. This is about this freak baby thing that some shady scientific people want to experiment on, and these people trying to keep the baby away from the bad people. Like in ET, the scientists want to experiment on the alien, but the little boy doesn�t want them to.
