Dog at work
00:48
|
|||
Working in the office
Feeling kind of blue
Wishing that I had something important to do
People talking all the normal nonsense
Like they do every single day of our lives
I want to stab my eyeballs with knives
But then the roof flies off the building
And in walks the chocolate dog

Another Universe
02:31
|
|||
complex textures in the jangly jungle
it's like looking out a vortexy window
an open wound in the world
onto another universe
in this other universe
stars are closer together
like flowers on fire in bright bouquets
like neon spiderwebs catching flourescent flies
like tapestries electrified
in this other universe
i do not fight my brother
not for my wife or her wandering ways
not for the bloodshed or the hate neither
not for the food we lack or tithes we pay
in this other universe
colour is king
worming along like he owns the whole thing
bouncing about with his rainbow shout
letting us in and he's letting us out
in this unverse light is king
it sings
the sound becomes a sea

Normal life is such a laugh
but it makes me want to burn down our gaff
cos it’s really really dull
and cos our days are sometimes full of evil
and of evil nihilistic cunts
to list their evils would take months
who are so evil they should die
from fork wounds to their evil eyes.
Normal life is really nice
Cos you've got my balls in a vice
and I've got your eyes,
and hair and legs and boobs and ass
under a magnifying glass
I love you
above you
there is
nothing
I wonder
if under
you feel
something
Below
all the show
of pushing
shoving
I love you
above you
there is
nothing
And on my birthday every year
you put on radiation gear
And when I'm whimpering my fear, you take a break to make it clear
you're simply building a machine
to keep my mind obscene
And you can’t talk and i can’t hear
and that’s the main thing that we fear.
And you’ve no mouth and i’ve no ears.
It's clear
our problems are severe.
Normal life is so funny
cos, like, suddenly from nowhere we're levitating and rotating and nobody else is aware
but we're flying beautifully
and all the insane stuff I now see
is slowly consuming me
Normal life is fair and grand
With my head in the sand
And your head up my ass
and what we buried in the grass
is rising up to light at last
it's curly tendrils already swallowed up the shed
I see green shoots winding around your head
soon we'll have a meadow
growing in our bed
I love you above you there is nothing
I wonder if under you feel something
Below all the show of pushing shoving
When we're older
it's colder
I know
what's coming
I'll shoulder
the boulder
that's no
bluffing
I love you
above you
there is
nothing
I hold you
I told you
there is
nothing

Water Brother
04:48
|
|||
I
Waiting for the bus at sunrise
Every day in November
I hope you remember
our drunken double handshake
i'm funk and trouble, not fake
are we really doin' this?
If you had to ask you'll never know
(Chorus)
I wish I had a real blood brother
I know that we don't share a mother
But I covet your fraternity
Ever since you went to the edge with me
I wish I had a real blood brother
I know it's wrong to steal from others
But you just help me to rediscover
my so called “soul” undercover
water brother
II
The sea she looks like a mystery
A trillion gallon symbol rippling
Personal experiments
with immersion and the senses
If it's good enough for this granny
It's good enough for me
I know this is temporary
If it's good enough for this granny
It's good enough for me
they say we're away with the fairies
(Chorus)
Standing on the corner
“Sweet Jane” in my head
Standing on the corner
“Sweet Jane” in my head
(Chorus)

Tescobaby
03:44
|

When I went outside
to collect my
Tesco delivery,
instead of the usual groceries
I ordered,
the delivery
guy handed me
a crate containing
a baby
with its sexual organs
removed.
I said: What the fuck is this?
He said: You know what it is.
It's a crate with a baby inside
that has had its sex denied.
I didn't know what to say
so I said I don't know what to say
But the delivery
man interuppted me
He said: I don't know why you're being so unpleasant.
I'm not the one who castrated this infant.
The two of us were standing
facing each other
outside the entrance to my house
He had put the crate on the ground,
between the two of us.
I could see the sexual-organless
baby
clearly.
It was smiling at me.
i was confused
and not amused
did not understand
the words he used
When I asked him to clarify
He asked if I
insist that my
family line
continues
he said, if you could choose
would you refuse
a kid that could
not reproduce
i said i'd only wanted some
cereal and orange juice!
i am a bachelor living footloose
he said, that's no excuse!
but we argued on, he and i
till four hours went by,
the sun went down,
so i said come in sit down
and went in the door
but turned around,
to see him fleeing fast
it was just me and the kid at last,
I looked around for something to throw
People were looking at me like I was a psycho.
I screamed at him:
You'll never get away with this!
I think I even shook my fist
at him as he drove off.
and the kid gave a little cough

The Beasts of the World
03:12
|

I had a dream you were in last night
We were in our old house
Everything was alright
Then my eye fell out of my head
And I looked at you through it
The house, it shook and it fell to the ground
My eye on the floor was rolling around
It looked like you were doing somersaults
Oh, you looked real pretty
The beasts of the world came roaming out
Sniffing our blood
You had cut your mouth
My other eye started coming out
The beasts were coming from all around
The howling sounds and
The sky turned black
You held to my naked back
Our children were out in the woods
All our clothes were gone for good
The wolves and the bears and
The bats and the snakes and
Rodents with mouths shaped like rakes
The lizards and flies and
The cats and the bugs
They all were coming to feast on us
You trusted in me and
I thrust into you
Cos we had fuck all else to do
You wiped the grit off my eyeballs
It felt kinda cool
Your pretty terror was glimmering through
I woke up and saw my house was ok
I thought of my dream and
To myself I did say
If this is how my life could be
Then I would take you
back to me

Dog at school
00:48
|

Sitting in the classroom
Everything so dull
Bored out of my mind
Learning null
in my empty skull
When all of a sudden
the door is bashed to pieces
and in walks the chocolate dog

First Foray
03:01
|
|||
I wish I could force the sunshine
force it out
of the faucet of the sky
I wish you could forgive me
for being ordinary
I wish we
could all be happy
and beautiful
all the time
See I have been out
on the road
I have been all go
This is my first foray
back into the ordinary day
for i have been away
on holiday
All of a sudden
I feel like I'm swimmin'
in sticky pudding
My life sucks my blood
I need something new for my mind
Or the life will leave me behind
I'll take my first steps today
as you walk the other way

The Eyeball Men

The world it is so fucking great!
Thank god it's me who's in this place!
The sky is huge and i am too!
It's very cool is my milieu!
The dead bits always get renewed!
Look! There's the sun up, right on cue!
With all these things I am imbued.
The world it is extremely fine,
I'm glad it's where I spend my time!
Me and my dear eyeball crew,
we look and act and talk like you!
Me and my dear eyeball crew,
see how much our eyeballs grew!
The sun is shining through our heads.
Being alive's even better than being dead.
The moon is shining through our skulls.
The world is great.
It's not awful.
Even dull things are not all dull.
Me and my dear eyeball crew -
the world's so good we don't know what to do!
Where are eyeball babies made?
In a big deep hole, their parents say!
How are eyeball children raised?
In a big green field with a shovel and a spade!
Oh, we are the hysterical screaming monster eyeball fucks.
We just can't believe our fucking luck.
We are the demon Jesus friends.
We sing songs so loud they come out both our ends.
Me and my dear eyeball crew -
the world's so good we don't know what to do!

Sarah and Veronica
06:01
|
|||
Veronica
born with a
shock of black hair
and the Midwife stared
and the good Reverend said
you’d better watch that one
she will be a wicked one
the blonde Sarah came second
some say she was sent in
to forgive the sins
of her evil twin
she was so small
that no one knew
that Mommy was
even carrying two
when the time came for the afterbirth
to astonishment and mirth
as mother pushed for all she was worth
little sarah entered on this earth
another tiny cry was heard
the Reverend whispered
praise the lord
he said the good lord knew her
and brought her here to do good through her
when the sisters used to play everything would be okay
until Sarah’d start to win and Veronica’d run away
come back with a big stick, hit her sister’s sunburn.
Parched summers and empty winters past
The two girls grew up fast
While Veronica preened in the looking glass
Sarah rode to the school house on an ass
Bright Sarah was a dirty kid she never washed up
she had a pretty face like a little squashed pup
she’d waken in the night her sister’d already be up
at the window what are you looking at
out theres nothing but dark
but Veronica didnt answer back
for some time
till she just said
I like black
Fair Sarah said Sister you seem either vain and insane
Adoring yourself or the devil's domain
in the daytime the mirror, at night out the window
She seemed not to hear her, really she did though
the night
was like
a mirror
to her
the night
was like
a mirror
to her
one day mother took them to the apothacary
to fetch herbs for a man with a fever down the street
thats when Veronica and the chemist would meet for the first time
years later they were lovers but he went off with another
she broke into his laboratory taking everything she could find
especially little purple fluid labelled ergot
she brought it to the reservoir and poured it and all the rest in
hoping to poison the town and ruin him
Soon they got together they were out for blood
Saying whoever did this would pay with everything they could
Some of them still mad stabbing their knives into the mud
screaming
How could someone do this to us?!
But there was only one the poison killed
As the good Reverend lay on his deathbed
The Townsfolk gathered together and said
Don't you worry We'll have this chemist's head
They were zealous and fervent
They listened as the Reverend
croaked these last judgement
I know who committed this crime
I told you once in a distant time
To watch out for that one
She's become a wicked one
He pointed at Veronica
But Sarah grabbed her and they escaped
and the bloodthirsty mob gave chase
Into the dark woods Where are we going
Out there's nothing but dark
For some time Sarah didn't answer back
then she whispered:
"Lets never go back."

Jesus's Sneezes
01:52
|
|||
Yo fool! Jesus is so ice-cool
his sneezes freeze my breeches
and all the water on the beaches
and in my swimming pool.
Buddha shoulda shuddered
and shivered in the river jordan,
like my liver every mornin.
So get yo crass ass in the Banias
for the mass from Mount Hermon;
or the river Dan; don't need no banyan,
be a man - that's my sermon!
Jesus's sneeze it releases holy pieces of spit and snot; whaddya mean you like it a bit?
You should like it a lot!
If you don't like it i'll gut you,
golf club you and putt you,
you slut you,
whaddaya mean your not you?
Too late: Jesus got you.
So just watch as he knots you
to his flowing locks and slots you
in his holy box
you'll feel the zeal of his seal unpeel you
from your head down to your socks.
Is he really just a biped?
Guy runs on water so fast looks like he's
got five legs!
Remember the fun you had in your marital bed?
That's not a quarter of what you'll have with God's son (did I mention he was high-bred?)
Christ! And Jesus's speeches are more than alright too!
I beseech you:
don't be a heathen
heed them
we need them
you have to live sleep and bleed them
you might even have to believe them!
Jesus loves you,
you're beloved,
he freezes love too,
bottles of it!
Serves it up in little ice-cubes,
to nice dudes,
suffice to say,
he gives that shit away,
for free, no fee, for me and thee.
Endlessly,
tremendously
near us
he easily feeds
me and everyone,
greedlessly leaves us
completely replete.

Gilbert Death
01:31

There won't be any more from me
Oh! There won't be much at all at all of me to see
There won't be any more from me, you all agree
No not much more from me
You won't be seeing me, no, not ever ever again
This isn't the beginning for me
It is the end
This is the last time you'll ever see me, my friend
So you won't be seeing me again
Yes, for me there isn't a whole lot more to come
No there's not a lot things to come, my chum
The number of things for me to come is none
Yes, for me there isn't a whole lot more to come
The amount of things you'll get from me from now on, I think
are none
are none
are none
those things are all extinct
Since the boy died, I haven't stopped crying
The number of things to come for me are none, I confide
The amount of time left for me is less than brief
When the child died I collapsed in grief
I've lost my will, my life and my beliefs
So the amount of time left for me is therefore less than brief

Nature
02:47
|
|||
You can do all you want
and don't get me wrong
i love what you do
but just for this song
I will lump you in
for a comparison
that none of us can win
The things we create
rising early or late
walking tall or bent prostrate
they just can't equate
to nature
We have our fun
and we have our skills
when the hunt is done
we get our thrills
but nature comes first
and goes on beyond everything
nature's the thirst, the water and the wellspring
i mean this in both literal and figurative sense
that i can thus do both is no coincidence
for it is every aspect of everything
with my paltry voice now it's for nature i sing
But nature precedes and nature succeeds
to oaks from seeds, from kingdoms to species
from genes to beings, and that's just the life forms
to which our minds warm
but there's so much more
in the energy storm
since it banged big
and deep within the figures
of the bigger lumps of rock
and metal burning in the pool of sky
and inconceivable space rocked by deep invisible waves
there's answers to questions we don't even know to ask
while evolution steers our brains to stay on task
food sex food sex and the social mask
well today i just want to walk around and bask
in the exquisite beauty of the place we are
far beyond anything i can do with a guitar

Evil Life
02:55
|

Before I popped out of my momma i planned to have some fun
when the time came i made like a bullet from a gun
this rapper baby decapitated a passing nun
thass how I became a murderer before the age of one
my parents had no fuckin idea what to do
talk about the terrible twos, man you don't have a clue
when people leaned over my crib to say 'coo-coo'
i pulled they eyeballs out and said 'fuck you'
I was sold to the devil at the age of three
but the fucker sold me back to my ma cos he was scared of me
i got out of hell these people who were near to me
they looked so free but wouldn't actually dare to be
blowin out the candles when i turned four
i knew i couldn't handle it, i needed more
wonderin what these superconsumers were even livin' for
i stole my dad's chainsaw, to make all out war
by the age of five i was eatin people alive
just so horrified at a life so contrived
and so what if I live in the same hive
i won't strive for your honey, i'll eat you to survive
but i was back on the other side of the river styx
before i reached the age of six
My mother went to the church to confess
she thought her little angel was possessed
They decided to call in the exorcist
They said How long can the demon resist?
Holy Water, Rosaries, they pulled out all the stops for me,
Prayed all day, but after all the tricks,
They had to beat me to death with a crucifix
funny thing happened when i was seven,
they mixed up the paperwork, sent me to heaven
i broke in god's studio, so if you'll excuse me,
i got angels to deafen
i got angels to deafen

Dog at party

I’m at party full of normal people
They’re telling me their opinions about things
They don’t like the songs that a madman like me sings
So I hide my soul and I play my role
And that’s the way it goes until
The structure of everything suddenly collapses
And in walks the chocolate dog

Hey riddle riddle my fat little fiddle

Hey crumpet crumpet my fat fucking trumpet
Give me a piece of the sweet stuff of life
Hey trumpet trumpet my fat fucking crumpet
To go with my cake full of strife

You sing to me of things that cannot exist
Hey choir choir my fat fucking liar
You sang I could just stay home and get pissed
Hey riddle riddle my fat fucking fiddle
i work in the day and i sleep in the night
Hey fiddle fiddle my fat fucking riddle
i go to work every morning it's shite
