1: I Don't Mind What Ever Happens


I, I, I don't mind whatever happens
I don't mind whatever goes around
Baby, baby just drown me in your Sweet White
Gimme some of your flashing light
That's all I do expect from you
Now, don't you want to
Do you mind whatever happens
Whatever goes around
Whatever happens


2: Fell Off The Floor, Man


What about my philosophy, my philosophy
You got to be your, you got to be your own dog, you know?
You know what I'm talking about
Let's say yeah like a James Brown thing
Yeah

You gotta go sniffin' in your own turf
Your own dog and let nobody please on you

Rubbadub a tub fish Ping pong
Sneakin' in the dead zone Boneyard
Sippin' on a catlap Sing song
Trimming off my nostril hairs Headcase
An angel in a mellowcake Courtpie
Rubbin' like a pussycat Gridlock
A stone within my eyeball Too too
Dancin' with my socks on Oh man
Singin' like a tomtit Stop cab
Listening to the .. Tip top
Entering a smoky barroom Hey you
Smuggling a wombat Rubbaday
Chewing on my necktie Tweedo
Tumbling in the margerine Heroine
Hidden in the ribbongrass Too too
Actin' like a baby Headcase

I don't need no thoughts in me, don't you want to rescue me?
There's a little light below, go there when I want to go

Wanted by the bumbledom Ping pong
Trying to pry the red shoes off Headcase
Licking on my ice cream cone Heroine
Surfing in the kitchen sink Rubbaday
Sippin' on a diet coke Hey dude
Tanglin' with the intercrop Tip top
Shaggin' with my swimcoat Tap Too
Change a tenner for two fivers Too too

Fell off the floor, fell off the floor Man
Fell off the floor, fell off the floor Man
Fell off the floor, fell off the floor Man
Rita Hayworth, Rita Hayworth, Rita Hayworth
Rita Hay

Going out to steal a ruby
Going out to steal a ruby
Going out to steal a ruby

Looking like a rayon, love to keep it indoor
They all got a say on, falling off the damned floor
Succulent but sucked in, always I'll be in for
One thing to be tucked in, falling off the same floor


3: Opening Night


I dedicate a colour to
My dearest friends and family who
So solemnly and nicely dressed
Come visit me, I must confess
I feel like Gena might
Upon her opening night

And so the hounding begins
A sudden crack on the shins
Whip stinging say oh hello
You look like someone I know
Fiery red I give my mom While sniggering up your sleeve, a kid a joke just like we
My dad transparant he is gone Guys in a schoolyard aged five, the baddest honcho alive
My sisters I give black and white Track down your friends to a bar, trace over steps in a car
And guys I hate well fuck 'em bright Say that's a pretty excuse, make mine a pineapple juice
My friends get shades of blue Bugbears are plenty round here, give him a clip on the ear
And ginger green to you Says dad infront of TV, decide channel randomly
I feel something coming on
A funny turn or a wrong
Decision made casually
Like dad infront of the TV
Regurgitation and goo
Ten squillion eyes watch as you
Put up a pretty good fight
On this your opening night
On this your opening night
On this your opening night
On this your opening night
On this your opening night


4: Theme From Turnpike


He went to the bottom, put his soul on fire
He went to the bottom, put his soul on fire

New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night

Maybe he got the rhyme
Maybe he got the eyes
Maybe he got the time counterclock wise, yeah

He said, he said

New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night
New Jersey Turnpike riding on a wet night

Maybe he got the song
Maybe he got the size
Maybe he got it wrong counterclock wise

He said: "No more loud music"
He said: "No more loud music"
He said: "No more loud music"
He said: "No more loud music"


5: Little Arithmetics


Into temptation, over in doubt
Black night, neonlight into my house
Talking, talking, talking about
Out of frustration over in doubt

Hold me now, I'm hoping that you can explain
Little arithmetics got me down
They're fooling me again and again
Little arithmetics, little arithmetics got me down

Sometimes I feel like going down south Sometimes I'm feeling alright
Sometimes I feel like I'm over and out Sometimes I'm losing my mind
Talking, talking, talking about Sometimes the day is the night
Into temptation over in doubt Sometimes I don't wanna fight

Hold me now Hold me now
I'm hoping that you can explain
Little arithmetics got me down Hold me now
They're fooling me again and again
Little arithmetics, little arithmetics

Hold me now
Little arithmetics
Got me down


6: Gimme the Heat


Someone could say: "I don't belong here"
No one could say: "Isn't it all clear?"
I'm blowing a phrase out in the open
Out on the street, just gimme the heat

I'll suck the flame to me
I'll suck it in, I'm ok I should be

You cut me deep, you know how to do it
My motives are cheap, you know how I do it
So when do we go, where do we meet
I'll give you my sorrow, you'll give me the heat

I'll suck the flame to me
I'll suck it in

Some erotic feel keeps coming on, it's so unreal
I come undone then I look back I find a frame already built
When I look back It's still waiting to be filled
I find it had flickered for a minute and then it was gone

Someone could say: "I don't belong here"
Every night, every day, just gimme the heat

Some erotic feel keeps coming on, it's so unreal
I come undone
Some shady deal
Despite the black the light gets in through every crack

Then I look back I find a frame already built
When I look back It's still waiting to be filled
Why is it that Time between and no time left
Why is it not Sweeter than I ever thought
How can it last Make it last a minute more
How can it last Make it last a little more
How can it last Make it last a little more
How can it last Make it last a minute more

I been around the bend
I can't remember when
But my great misery
It means a lot to me
You been around, I know
And me I'm just to slow
I'm craving more and more
I'm craving more and more
I'm craving more and more
Gimme, gimme the heat


7: Serpentine


I'm caught in the flow of things
My memory's broken machine
This is how my day begins
This is just one day unseen

Let's do it serpentine, any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here

Is it bad that you're good for me
Did I love you just randomly?
I'm caught in the flow of sound
And you're just some melody

Let's do it serpentine, any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here

There's a cute little litany
Put it on my shoulder
Eight o'clock and we agree
It makes me look much older

Got my clockworks company
Got my dark green trenchcoat on
I'm sure it will always be
Someone staying and someone gone

Let's do it serpentine, any time
Let's do it right here
Let's do it serpentine, I don't mind
Let's do it right here


8: A Shocking Lack Thereof


That's right I aim to please
That's right I aim to please
I'm acting like some kind of Victorian serf child
I have considered the possibility of trading fluids
On the platform of the underground station
But I have watched and I have seen
And I have counted all the passers-by
Me and my friend here we have been engaged
In a search for some time months now
For houses hotels and highlights, experienced midwives
For money to turn into medicine
And what do we find?
What do we find?
What do we find?
A shocking lack thereof. But wait...

Wear your moonboots, they suit you too

And more like Elvis Presley on the booze
Believe that you have everything to lose
That's right I aim to please
That's right I aim to please
Pay a visit to a nurse to have your head deloused
Talk for hours about the politics of Mickey Mouse
You know how it is
Nighttimes, gotta get out of the house
Gotta get out of the house
Gotta get out of the house
Gotta get out of the house

My life is for pleasure, a wiggle in flesh
I'm soaked and in malice, I'm all in distress

And as I was promised my life is for rage
My guide is a drunk and a female bouquet

My life's been mistaken for garbage and gold
My life is in private, I gotta move on 'till I'm old
'Till I'm old, 'till I'm old
I gotta move on 'till I'm old
I gotta move on 'till I'm old
That's right I aim to please
'Till I'm old, 'till I'm gone
'Till I'm gone, 'till I'm gone


9: Supermarketsong


Well good evening to all my friends

I think it goes to show that the more you get, the more you got, the more you want some more

'Cause it's supersexy, supercool, the way they walk the avenue
But it's a sadder day than yesterday so it kinda makes 'em superblue
Spastic Sam and Eric Drew make supermarkets superflue
But they're just on time for the rendez-vous

I know it goes to show that the more you get, the more you got, the more you want some more

Some people go out and buy stuff they see in windows
I don't need no ring, no car, no watch
Baby I got all I need

I'm sure it goes to show that the more you get, the more you got, the more you want some more

Some people go out and buy stuff they've seen in books
I don't need no leather jacket baby, I'm warm when I'm with you


10: Memory Of A Festival


Do you remember the festival
We took those drugs I never thought I'd get into that pumpin' stuff
A thousand eyes won't recognise us
'Cause I know you and you know me
That's all you need and all I think of
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd

We got on there way too soon
'Cause it takes some time to get the picture
6 to 60 camera zoom oh my god I hate this mixture
Of all these crazy crazy tunes that keep on buzzin' in my head now

I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd

Do you remember the festival in 94 with 90 fuckups
Don't wanna meet all of your friends
The ones you like the ones you'd lock up

'Cause you're out there in the atmosphere
It makes me sick just to think about it
I know this ain't nothing very deep but it's good fun
So don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd
Don't run into the crowd


11: Guilty Pleasures


That's a really nice sound
That's a nice sound
That's what I call a nice sound

Wanting missing, having letting, knowing forgetting, showing climbing, falling sucking, breathing lying, loosing missing
You make me feel

Happy clumsy, angry rash, cripple silly, little smaller, taller witty, hasty sexy, weary ugly
You make me feel

In there neither, someone several, all round in time, more off instant, more like therefore, pinned on hardly, in there often
You make me feel

Envy fucking, waisting sighing, coping bragging, coughing dying, laughing plastifying and crying
You make me feel

My sister
Got nowhere to hide
I missed her
But deep down inside
We drive
Keep our hands on the wheel
We drive
You know how it feels

In my dream on my back, on those pills make it till, by the sea
You make me feel

On my left by my side, on your lap heavy foot, hurt and heal
You make me feel

Blinded by ready for, always yours cardiac, filthy guilty pleasure
You make me feel

My sister
Got nowhere to hide
I missed her
But deep down inside
We drive
Keep our hands on the wheel
We drive
You know how it feels

My sister


12: Nine Threads


Stone go slow
Find the right moment to stop the show
The nighttime gets weary of implications afterglow
Thinking: "Easy come, easy go"
You got here too late, it's often so

I guess that's why
I hope I get old before I die
Admit it turned out okay for someone who didn't try
Thinking it's time to get a hold
You got here too late, it's always so
It's always so, it's always so
It's always so, it's always so


13: Disappointed In The Sun


Who could tell the story better
About the things that I went through
Some were great but most were terrifying and so spooky too

Had to get out of there, to hide away
Had to get out of there, to find my way
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is
Where I want to be is

Need I say my only wish was
To escape my earthly life
High skies were no option whereas
Diving deep in oceans wide

Was the way for me, to hide away
A possibility, to leave today
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is
Where I want to be is

Under the sea is where I'll be
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream
The lightning comes before the roar

Circumstantial situations, now I know what people meant
Beware of the implications, God I've had enough of them
Dedicated to be brave and find a way
Just picking out a wave and slide away
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is
Where I want to be is

Maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain
Maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain
Maybe taking it another hour then taking away the pain
Then taking away the pain
Then taking away the pain
Then taking away the pain
I troubled everything too soon
Now where I want to be is
Where I want to be is

Under the sea, is where I'll be
No talking 'bout the rain no more
I wonder what thunder will mean, when only in my dream
The lightning comes before the roar
Under the sea, down here with me I find I'm not the only one
Who ponders what life would mean if we hadn't been
So disappointed in the sun

And that's why we're thinking
That's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea
And that's why we're thinking
That's why we're drinking in a bar under the sea


14: For The Roses


Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
Time will soon be mine in time I guess
She's painting on my back a beautiful flowerpot
And she treats me, she treats me, she treats me like her local god

Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
This one's yours and yours is self obsessed
She's painting on my back a green tom, the beefheart one
And she cuddles and she coos and she cuts the bullshit I confessed

She said:"Don't look my way, what can I possibly say
I've never seen you before today
I'm just the one that makes you think of the one
That makes you feel like you're the one"

But thank you for the roses, for the roses
So thank you for the roses, for the roses
Thank you for the roses, for the roses
Thank you for the roses, for the roses

Rose said quote it's time to make a mess
Remind me what it is that I do best
She's painting on my back some beautiful something sweet
And she treats me, she treats me, she beats me

Rose said quote my time has come at last
Ugly things through my mind they have passed
She's scratching on my back 'if this boy believes me'
She leaves me, deceives me and takes those flowers just to please me

Rose don't mind where she been
She been blind
She been mine
All this time
She been kind
She been mine
She said: "Thank you for the roses, for the roses" just to please me
Thank you for the roses, for the roses just to please me
Thank you for the roses, for the roses just to please me
Thank you for the roses, for the roses just to please me
Thank you


15: Wake Me Up Before I Sleep


Wake me up before I sleep and I'll promise you that I'll concentrate
On only the last frame
Cover only one sound
Some kinda sweet, weird kinda strange around me

Wake me up before I sleep
Can't you see too many colours here, colours there, colours everywhere
Cover only one ground, the blackest of blacks I don't want to surround me

There's nothing I can say, that isn't gonna be
There's nothing I can do, that isn't gonna be a mistake

Wake me up before I sleep now
I haven't had an inch of what I thought I got from this awful high
Cover me in one dye
Just lie here with me we'll let the train go by

There's nothing I can say, that isn't gonna be
There's nothing in my way, I know it's gonna be a mistake
