Hello sweetheart The moon must be full If my wrist is so twisted Don't go looking for a cure Don't go looking for a curse When a blessing needn't be reversed Soon the earth will be wet So take your clothes off sweetheart Come lay in my bed The tide is killing me But it never felt so right I feel my blood going outdoors Where it knows it belongs Don't call me troubled Don't shake your beautiful head If you care a damn about me Come lay in my bed

Name 03:28
Don't talk to me now, forget all about it I don't wanna hear any more shouting Sleep well, sleep, sleep well darling You don't wanna hear any more shouting I got your tape, I watch it every day Each time I forget it ends just the same I pause the last frame in black and white That little smile you fake makes me want to die I went to the bus stop the train came I know a man there who paints pleasure from pain It's strange that my altar is a TV screen And god is a tape I've already seen I don't mind that I'm nothing, I'm too bored to try I like to rewind you to when you were alive You wet a cigarette to ignite your lips And it makes me want to give you a kiss I reach for mine too, we smoke through time Eye to eye, together we're fine But only one of us sees, or that's what they say But what do they know about us anyway Don't talk to me now, forget all about it I don't wanna hear any more shouting Sleep well, sleep, sleep well darling You must be so tired from all of the shouting

Skin 07:04
Let's play with knives It's an easy way to win But there aren't enough knives in this house Let's play with guns It's an easy way to lose But there aren't enough guns in this house You're only good enough for one thing he said and poured himself a drink The past is what you tell people it is Now take off your clothes and count back from three I'll show you my crime It's a pantomime He said and then it started to stick She thought about water the anonymous friend that washed her face when it was covered in tricks You little asshole, you fucking bore chew on the heartbreaker crushing your jaw I don't like the lights, I don't feel the reds Just give me a packet of your famous cigarettes Your skin'll get you through Your skin'll get you through There's enough of it on me To cover you Baby Contradict her solitude the wolf can stay with her for good and we'll injure instruments with spirits to go Every person worth their soul has you to answer to The cure is in the right proof Keep me awake, if I fall asleep I don't know where I'll go Put on a record, mix a bad drink anything to keep me from him You skin'll get you through Your skin'll get you through There's enough of it on me To cover you Baby Tell me everything about you that you can spare I'm ashamed to ask and lonely over here You don't know why the secret has a tattoo of a lie that says get filthy or learn to die You look down on me cos I need some TV to distract me from the intimate floor You say people are shit, they'll nod and they'll sit but they'll never pull it out of you I don't want to talk about the shadow of time The past is what you tell your mother it is I'm gonna learn the alphabet from A to Z so I can misspell your name during class in a note From me to you, I learnt what to do Your skin'll get you through Your skin'll get you through There's enough of it on me to cover you Baby

Heavy Metal 06:47
Come come, don't sleep Come come, kill the sun ghost in me Say say say that I can come in Vein like a drumskin blood like a string We're so scared of the rust in the sunrise We're so scared of the rust in the sunrise Sacrifice, between you and I the moments we shared meant the world to me And now you are leaving, I feel the world slipping from under my feet Who do I write for Who do I long for The chorus fans, indi bands, pins and the staples When you silently secretly bleed I feel heavy metal My blood is in these stones so much that when I look in the mirror I see a brick wall These seconds are slow The cigarettes are awful People are strange Their glasses are hopeful I am free like the men on TV Can't you see everything means nothing to Sacrifice, between you and I the moments we shared meant the world to me And now you are leaving, I feel the world slipping from under my feet Who do I write for Who do I long for The chorus fans, indi bands, pins and the staples When you silently, secretly bleed I feel heavy metal Sing this cold song and we will breathe again

I try so hard to be the sum of my parts Children, try to keep it sweet I don't have a human heart How bad can Animal be? How bad can Animal be? How bad can Animal be? How bad an animal can be!

Love is a flame A devil's thing A violent storm About to be born Just look in these eyes See all the lies All the things you see You cannot deny And this flame That burns inside If you get too close Burn you alive Just look in these eyes And see if they lie All these words I speak You cannot deny Got a light Shines on me Gentle light It will never be See the flame In my hand If you're playing with fire You're playing in Hell Devil's plaything In my hands If you don't want pain You don't understand Got a light Shines on me If you wanna touch flames Come unto me Got a flame Burns inside If you don't wanna burn Just walk on by And the pain You're feeling now Is nothing compared To the pleasures I hide Devil's plaything In my hands If you don't want pain You don't understand Got a light Shines on me If you wanna touch flames Come unto me Got a flame In my hand If you don't want a fire Step out of my light Walk on by Just look away 'Cause if you're on my path You're better off dead Devil's plaything In my hands If you don't want pain You don't understand Got a light Shines on me If you wanna touch flames Then Come unto me

Pure Love 04:23
Pure love is freedom freer than a fact and we are all the slaves of exactly that Pure love's a queen that will have us all killed for drinking too much blood and then not paying the bill Pure love's a forest god starting city fires Running up the hills with all his bad desires Blue whiskey and a cigarette and please please don't forget to get some ice so we can celebrate Where am I going I thought you were coming to There's ice in this box enough for two I can't concentrate on chores and real life makes me bored I just wanna lie in bed and be adored Ignorance is your kiss Let's go down to the beech and take photographs of each other's sandy feet Never give up be real honest but remember posers and fakers cry real tears too Where am I going I thought you were coming too There's ice in this box enough for two

London City 05:01
She fights like she loves, no mercy She is my mother she taught me how to be how to be high peached, round and perfect, indiscreet juice dripping down your bottom lip when you bite me I'm a sparkling diamond You can call me Di but like uncle Tom once told me some diamonds want to stay coal, let's fly I'm cursed with a deadly fall I think I'll stay here swinging cos I can't handle the world I'm living And a voice says swing swing swing swing And a voice says swing swing it's your thing thing The feather that strokes me feels like a rock I know I'm supposed to be strong but I lost my heart to London city and she turned out to be a man with an axe and now my soul is fucked I'm a sparkling diamond You can call me Di but like uncle Tom once told me some diamonds want to stay coal, let's fly I'm cursed with a deadly fall I think I'll stay here swinging cos I can't handle the world I'm living And a voice says swing swing swing swing And a voice says swing swing it's your thing thing I have no sympathy left for the assholes of the world I got more left for the killers and dealers They're my people, I feel them And we're all cursed with a deadly fall cos we chose and choose and always will choose to stay coal We're sparkling diamonds but you won't know until we fall apart We got things to do tomorrow we gotta die We're all just cold travellers with secret eyes of stone and as we sit together now, one day we'll be gone I'm a sparkling diamond You can call me Di but like uncle Tom once told me some diamonds want to stay coal, let's fly I'm cursed with a deadly fall I think I'll stay here swinging cos I can't handle the world I'm living And a voice says swing swing swing swing And a voice says swing swing It's your thing thing

Watching every motion In my foolish lover's game On this endless ocean Finally lovers know no shame Turning and returning To some secret place inside Watching in slow motion As you turn around and say Take my breath away Take my breath away Watching I keep waiting Still anticipating love Never hesitating To become the fated ones Turning and returning To some secret place to find Watching in slow motion As you turn to me and say My love Take my breath away Through the hourglass I saw you In time you slipped away When the mirror crashed I called you And turned to hear you say If only for today I am unafraid Take my breath away Take my breath away Watching every motion In this foolish lover's game Haunted by the notion Somewhere there's a love in flames Turning and returning To some secret place inside Watching in slow motion As you turn my way and say Take my breath away Take my breath away
