exoticaname 03:15

frozen winds were moving south i tried to reach you but you’d tuned out afraid of the aftermath And down the road About half a mile An angel in thigh boot flashed a dubious smile She’s beckoning to me With only one warning And no looking back She whisked me to bedlam And now there’s no coming home I’m handcuffed to mesh lace exoticaname, She’s running through streets wearing only her knickers screaming out in blue flames you know, we’re all insane exoticaname we’re all insane exoticaname after seventeen years i’ve grown two inch horns her body resembles the shape of the cross in burgundy moonlight glow she beckons, I go © otherness

why does it always happen to you? you think you’ve built your world and then the floor falls through falls through and then the rain comes in and then the rain comes in why does it always happen to you? You think your world’s such a purple shade of blue and then the rain falls through and then the rain falls through and all you need is a head full of speed no one said that life is bliss but you take it in for a kick or a kiss no one said that life is bliss but you trade it in for a kick or a kiss sensuality’s a funny man’s disease choke on weed. more guaranteed to please why does it always happen to you? you think you’ve built your world and then the floor falls through falls through and then the rain comes in and then the rain comes in kick – kick – kick - or a kiss kick – kick – kick - or a kiss kick – kick – kick - or a kiss

the secret 05:08

Hello This is Morse code And if you can break it I think we just might make it Crime could be revealed And the secrets told This is serious Fast and furious Just an expression of lust Moving to the tone Oh no, an answer phone Please leave a message Cos’ I’m not home This is serious Is this espionage Wink and smile The slipping hands Turn secret dials Hello This is Morse code And if you can break it I think we just might, we just might, make it Crime could be revealed And the secret told This could be serious I’ve been specially assigned I must investigate your mind Ruled out heinous crime It’s very, very serious Absence makes the heart Give the speaker The benefit of the doubt Nothing is true but grey The protagonist has evidence to portray Question deeper, Question longer Is the Cabaret singer killing that song? Her soul sings for all to hear The subterfuge is becoming oh so very clear Hello… Is this espionage Wink and smile And the slipping hands Turn secret dials Hello This is Morse code And if you can break it I think we just might make it Crime could be revealed And the secret told This could be serious, serious This could be very serious Hello...

thief 03:41
lyrics

I wonder If you’ve ever seen The thief behind my heart I wonder If you’ve ever gleaned What he really wants Thief You’re stealing my nights My innocence too You’re taking me to worlds I’ve only even heard tell of My jester my guide My torturer too Do you want me to become More like you With such a compromising sense of fun Most human hearts would turn on their heels and run He’ll entice and you’ll laugh Intense pleasure will abound But don’t be taken in Cos he can run proverbial rings around you If you try to cross him Patience wears thin He’s the kind of luck you wished you’d never end up in When his game takes a turn for the worse Such a curse That’s when you discover Your imaginary friend Has gone too far, far too far to reach Thief You’re stealing my nights My innocence too You’re taking me to worlds I’ve only even her tell of Thief My jester my guide My torturer too Do you want me to become More like you My jester my guide My torturer too Do you want me to become I wonder If you’ve ever seen The thief behind my heart

how do you get through your day? 04:07
lyrics
buy track
How do you get through your day? Do you comfort yourself With dreams of tomorrow Do you run away thinking all I’m doing is sinking How do you get through your day? When fools in high places Twitch you by your braces And laugh at your hoping A win at the races How do you get through your day? How do you get through? How do you get through your day? When you’ve no idea where what you’re selling is made from And you’ve no idea where what your selling came from. How do you get through your day? When everything seems to be going against you And colours become shades of grey And everyone seems to be going against you This is the saddest new day How do you get through your day? Do you follow the footprints Of runaway men And always pretend that you’re not one of them How do you get through? How do you get through your day? When you’re told what to do And where to do it Do you promptly refuse And tell them to screw it When everything seems to be going against you And colours become shades of grey And everyone seems to be going against you This is the saddest new day

Touch The talking stone Move It round Pared to the bone Watch The flesh and crawl Give them tongues and let them speak Give them tongues and let them speak Damn them all Take them at their word Some say it wrong Some absurd Listen to them all Watch their icons fly to the wall Touch Move it round Watch Damn them all Scat over bridge Take them at their word Some say it wrong Some absurd Listen to them all Watch their icons Fly to the wall Touch move it round Damn them all Tears shed in hindsight Carried like baggage round our eyes Tears shed in hindsight Words are burnt left flaming Touch Move it round Touch Damn them all Touch The talking stone Move it round Touch Damn them all Move it round Touch The talking stone

Presence is a state of mind That I can’t find Till I leave the past behind I’m out of my mind Presence is a state of mind That I can’t find Till I leave the past behind I’m out of my mind And I can the storm coming I can feel the clouds breaking I can feel it moving on all over me Presence is a state of mind That I can’t find Till I leave the past behind I’m out of my mind Presence is a state of mind That I can’t find Till I leave the past behind I’m out of my mind And I can the storm coming I can feel the clouds breaking I can feel it moving on all over me There can’t be many doors for me to try There can’t be many more doors for me to try Lets look at the architecture of my mind How many more doors are there to try? I can feel the pressure And I have to give in I can feel the pressure I want control of your mind and soul I want control of your mind and soul I have to give in

tantalise 04:11
lyrics

Tantalising Male of control Why do you seek to be with me? May I control Why do you kneel here before me? I do not own I do not hold I do not own you Tantalising Lo and behold Do you need me to set you free? Dropped notions Littered with words Some poisonous potion Sucking sound into a boiling brew The air has turned a nasty hue No laughter No smiles Unspoken early desires Uttered softly on a bed of white sheets Gives way to shrieks and snarled repeats Platitudes rain from your mouth Never more engaged a man enslaved Atrocities ran from your mouth Sit on the wall and spit themselves out There’s a rope around your neck and I don’t think you’ll make it through the night I’m sorry that you had to come and I’m so sorry that you’ll have to go Have no fear You won’t feel a thing I’m powerless My little man Till morning comes Your conquest done I’ll march you out And see you die in the sun I do not own you I do not hold you I do not own you But I, yes I, Control

epitaph 06:22
lyrics

It’s happening again So many want their pound of flesh Why not take me whole And crush my bones into my soul Leave nought but dust alive I think I might stay alive I’m just waiting for a brand new day No remorse or distepping is in my way And I’ll be dancing with the light stepping beat No more swooning around your desperate dead men’s feet It’s happening again Nobody wants to turn the tide Why not stand alone? And leave the sheep to learn to roam Only fools will die en masse I think I like staying last I’m not your canvas I’m not your clay I’m not here to be molded or thrown away I’m not your clay I’m just waiting for a brand new day No remorse of distepping is in my way And I’ll be dancing, dancing
