I Don't Know 05:25
This guy's a painter and he's real suave He's got a waistcoat on and he just got thirty thou He mixed twenty shades of red to paint that one red stripe And he looks at me like I can't breathe the air around his life What do I know? I'm an animal Ain't that what you said I'm an animal? I don't know any better 'cause I'm an animal I either scream in ecstacy or I wannna die But I don't know about your paint It all looks the same to me But what do I know I'm a wild beast can't you see? The man who says he knows about dreams is asking me to talk to him or so it seems I start to tell and then he puts his finger on my lips 'We have to move on,' he says, 'enough about your dreams. I'm the expert and you're the patient,' and he pulls me like a zip But I don't like it when they pretend And I don't like his phoney compliments He says he knows and what do I know I'm either peaceful or I feel like breaking a wall What do I know? I'm an animal Ain't that what you said I'm an animal? I don't know any better 'cause I'm an animal I either scream in ecstasy or I wannna die But I don't believe you care one little gram about anyone's dreams but just your little lines You're a charlatan Why do you lie? You lie you lie And now you have you've made mad and I can't control the way I feel I can't control the way I feel Can't control the way I feel I can't control the way I feel I can't control the way I feel You see these hands? They're just a disguise for the big big paws I hide inside My smooth skin hides the softness of fur And I'm gonna spend my time playing round with your blood 'Cause I'm an animal Ain't that what you said I'm an animal And I don't know any better I don't know no thank you I don't know no please I'm an animal and I don't want your peace No no no thank you I can't control the way I feel No no no thank you I can't control the way I feel No no no thank you I can't control the way I feel No no no thank you I can't control the way I feel

A rider on a black horse brings a gun A rider on a white horse brings no fun A rider on a red horse brings a rope The lamb shakes his body, washes his neck with soap John, don't you like me 'cause I'm a soldier? Don't you want me now that I'm older? I cast myself in the lake of fire Once I am colder John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier It's all where you came from, Johnny In my country God is the devil Lambs are lonely Selling souls is a business But no one sits on a throne If you come over here You too will grow a horn If you come over here You too will grow a horn John, don't you like me 'cause I'm a soldier? Don't you want me now that I'm older? I cast myself in the lake of fire Once I am colder John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier But they'll make marriage supper of you What kind of gratitude is that If you end up as food I'm an outsider on the inside of your world And I wanna touch you Why do you cry? If I wanna tie you to I? Why, why Why do you cry? Why, why Why do you cry? John, don't you like me 'cause I'm a soldier? Don't you want me now that I'm older? I cast myself in the lake of fire Once I am colder John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier John, he don't like me 'cause I'm a soldier 'Cause I'm a soldier 'Cause I'm a soldier 'Cause I'm a soldier 'Cause I'm a soldier

James 04:19
Our blood is the same colour It even tastes the same James James Isn't that your name? James James Isn't that your name? James James Isn't that your name? A drop of your blood A strand from my hair The dirt from your cheek The words of a prayer Stars in the sky Won't look too good tonight I got voodoo in the veins But you already love me anyway Our blood is the same colour It even tastes the same James James Isn't that your name? James James Isn't that your name? James James Isn't that your name? Your face makes me stir I'm trying to hide A handshake is a harmful touch When every beat of sanity has died Stars in the sky Won't look too good tonight I got voodoo in the veins But you already love me anyway Our blood is the same colour It even tastes the same James James Isn't that your name? James James Isn't that your name? James James Isn't that your name? How can it end well James? How can it end well James? How can it end well James? How can it end well James? Our blood is the same colour It even tastes the same James James Isn't that your name? James James Isn't that your name? James James

Three crows and a bottle of gin They think it's medicine Flap wings, peck each other's eyes They drink and whisper lies But I'm wondering Tell me 'cause I'm ill How such small things can be so evil? How? How? How? How? How? How? Three crows and a bottle of gin I lie to them it's heroin Flap wings, peck each other right They drink and talk all night But I'm wondering Tell me 'cause I'm ill How such small things can be so evil? How? How? How? How? How? How?

Scum 04:45
I'm scum, brother I'm bad like no other You can suck me like a sugar cube All you'll taste is my dead-end mood You're a work of art brother You've cut your face like no other Polished like an eighties drum All the girls want you to meet their mums but I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come say I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come play? I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come? I'm scum I'm scum Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? I'm scum, brother I'm a writer, not a lover Like school you smudge me with a rubber and your homework is getting praise now go tell your mother It just so happens you can only erase me with a razor Blood Makes Noise like Straight, No Chaser I'm an animal born of aching machines I thought you said we should never blame our genes but I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come say I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come play? I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come? I'm scum I'm scum Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? Do you wanna come? I'm an offender Not a pretender I destroy rooms 'cause boxes oppress me Don't stress me, don't try to impress me If you wanna understand just lean in and push me I drink the blood of this world and I don't sleep I'm slinging drugs and music like Return of the G I'm Eve, the one who lusted to live If you wanna be a poet boy then cut your wrist and bleed but I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come say I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come play? I'm scum I'm scum You wanna come? You wanna come? I'm scum I'm scum Do you wanna come?

Red Vein Pop 04:58
To move between between each sound like a ghost seeing red to move between between the shadows playing dead playing dead Black Dog says 'I hate myself' Black Dog says 'Take me off the shelf' I saw him standing mad with sound I just want him to be found He said 'No,' He said 'No, I don't want no Rock and Roll' He said 'No,' He said No, I don't want no Classical I just want I just want the sound to stop Turn on the radio and hear My Red Vein Pop' He said 'No,' He said 'No, I don't want no Rock and Roll' He said 'No,' He said No, I don't want no Jazz at all I just want I just want the sound to stop Turn on the radio and hear My red vein pop'

You spilled your ice, I spilled my eyes There's nothing I can whisper to you in this bracket of time But the eclipse of your cigarette is a childhood suicide No grown-up ever knows that's the worst, most precious kind This is my last go around Till death do us party Till death do us party Amen, Amen Amen, Amen Till death do us party Till death do us party Amen, Amen Amen, Amen Till death do us party Till death do us party I love you and I always will I slowdanced your eyes through a headline of smoke Charlie said 'Hey, I'm from Deptford you know I know how to be a gangster,' And I just thought boy oh boy oh boy Are you a good dancer You know my thoughts on modern life It's raining knots in my hands tonight This is my last go around Till death do us party Till death do us party Amen, Amen Amen, Amen Till death do us party Till death do us party Amen, Amen Amen, Amen Till death do us party Till death do us party I love you and I always will

Light Night 03:43
The broken bones of phones Disconnect the walls Hands washed dry but still dirty in their bones Strings of meat pulled out Bones turn into clouds Eyes still open You took my hope and Moon I'm going blind Moon I'm going blind Moon I'm going blind Moon I'm going blind You have made me mad Made hands kill your god Made eyes love your hair Made mind rip and tear Moon I'm going blind Moon I'm going blind Moon I'm going blind Moon I'm going blind Moon I'm going blind Sleep I cannot find Looking at you yawn Bloody Mouth I've carved the dawn Moon I'm going blind Don't feast on my eyes Pulse split open You took my hope and Moon I'm going blind Don't feast on my eyes Don't feast on my eyes Don't feast on my eyes Moon I'm going blind Don't feast on my eyes Don't feast on my eyes Don't feast on my eyes Moon I'm going blind Don't feast on my eyes Don't feast on my eyes Don't feast on my eyes

Platinum 05:18
I used to think my teeth were platinum That they could bite through any rock And it stung my pride to find out Just how wrong I was Now I walk the streets just counting The strangers running right through me The emptiness of fire haunts me As I light a cigarette to breathe There's no point to keeping secrets But we've all got something special up our sleeves Infidelity, lies, addiction And the Lucky ones, all Three If I take it right to heart Would you be platinum tonight? Would you rock me as I fall asleep Clutching onto my birthright? If I just go ahead and cross the bar Would you be platinum tonight? Would you go and run my old haunts for me As you coolly shake my hand? Would you make sure my teeth are clean? They last such a long time I want the earth to feel me scream As she bites me down Platinum White unicorn Platinum White gold I'm a heroine I've seen the dirty side of clean Platinum White swan Platinum Ice cold I'm a heroine I've seen I've seen

I'm Suprised 05:38
I thought feelings were perfect ways to have a good time I owe you a whole book, I know It's about time But sometimes I get distracted By a black horse in my mind And I get ridden on I get ridden all the time I say ride me Ride me I say ride me Ride me I have to meet him He tells me not to meet him I smell entirely of dirt and love's feet Stealing lines from a book about Blood and Guts When you're asleep it hurts All night And I get ridden I get ridden all the time And I get ridden I get ridden all the time And I say ride Ride Ride Ride Ride Ride Ride Ride Ride Ride me You wear your clothes on your face And your black hands hold up space I'm surprised
