Just looking at first degree burns I'm weeping (I can't sing a song like this) Weeping You didn't see me weeping on the floor You didn't see me lying on the floor You didn't see me weeping on the floor Alone on the floor I'm basically nothing like this We're all on the floor I don't want to carry on Except I can't even cease to exist And that's the worst FIVE KNUCKLE SHUFFLE: Even more fed up You're gonna get fed up You're gonna be fed up You're gonna see fed up You're gonna get fed up Fed Up Fed Up Fed Up You're gonna get set up You're gonna go fed up You're gonna go bed up You're gonna go sped up You're gonna be said up You're gonna get set up A set up a fed up a set up I said what a get up Am fed up Am fed up Am fed up Am fuckin a fed up Am fucking my bed up Amphetamine Am fucking amphetamine I've had a lobotomy A botom a botomy Am always a victim Am tired of the victim A time of the victor A try to assess me A try to possess me Assess possess amphetamine A friend of mine Here you are We're here are two Are you You over there You're the one I am I am that lazy boy all over take some more I need some sleep Just an animal a twisted up animal I want to be left alone I want that not to assess me not to possess me not to attack me Not to distract me I even get fed up Fed up Don't do this I do this All my friends do this Am fed up Am fed up I put my feet up I wish I go to sleep Fed up fed up fed up Deaded Deaded Empty bottles makin noise Alcohol I can see you fed up In the corner asking Gonna be set up all night set up Fed up Getting your way with a five pound note HIT BY A ROCK How's that?

They only go to middle aged men So why don't you do as I suggest I persuade you With words I persuade you Persuasion I've got a little biscuit tin To keep your panties in Soilde panties, white panties, school panties, Y-Front panties By the canal, by the canal And I persuade you Look at me Look at me There's a certain word and a certain touch A certain way and a way too much There's a little bit here And a little bit there When you've done it all it's too late to care Oh I persuade you Like always I persuade you Look in my eye Under your covers I touch you And tell you what to do Do it because I tell you Do it because I love you And I persuade you Persuasion WHAT A DAY: What a day What a day What a dull day What a day What a day What a dull day All day all day All dull day What an awful day What a terrible day All day All day What a day What a day What a dull day What a day SIX SIX SIXTIES: I am one of the injured A tear blurs flesh Dissolving Like an injured dog Like wasted limbs Get smaller Pain is the stimulus of pain But then of course nothing is cured This is the world now Move a fin and the world turns Sit in a chair and pictures change Try to eat us And get trapped Or injured Just THE OLD MAN SMILED: The Old Man Smiled Will you die for me? Do you love me enough to give up your life? Standing here in the desert The crumbling city How much do you love me? Can the world be as sad as it seems? At this the old man smiled Sitting there in Tangier Scars running from his wrist to his elbow Perhaps I’ll buy his book today And I look at the boy with me hand on his thigh As I move to the bed in the corner And he started to smile A plaintive smile of the boy as he lies on the bed And the old man smiled as his Prick started to twitch twitch twitch And little drops felt out and fell to the floor And he looked to the side Wondering what to do with his knowledge Cold cold water in the bowl by the bed on the floor 23 days and 23 hours of the day And the old man smiled as the being swelled and the blood came As he stuck the needle in his arm Watching the blood burning and turning in the glass Wondering where he’d be sitting tomorrow Wondering which table his person would pass that day Sitting in a café in Tangier And down to his cable came Captain Clark He’d worked on the ferry for 23 years and a day Taking the junkies and the babies and the corpses to Spain Looking at the coffins in a line across the water You sink if you’re dead Cold cold water A cloud up above And everyone’s equal if it rains on you And the old man smiled And his arm bent as he paid the bill So I walked round the corner To a room in the Bowery And the boy was bent double naked on the floor Rubbing himself with some kind of cream And is this all a dream Look at the blind men Sitting in a row with white sticks Takking at the TV screen And they try to eat us By the broken bed They’re always mad And Captain Clark welcomes you aboard Flight 23 from New York to Mayami And it crashes in a forest Burning bodies growing clod People spewing blood from their faces Screaming “Why me?” “Why?” And everyone says I’m mad And everyone says I’m mad The always say I’m mad And I see myself in the gutter and the water With the water wing gangrene dangling myself Cos we really want to slaughter Looking wide-eyed and so confused at the wall It’s gone on so long I wonder just who is here Cold cold water Cold cold water And the old man smiled as he walked back to the café Drinking coffee as his friends just stood around Can the world be as sad as it seems? Do you love me? With my knife against your throat It could only be me You would only do this for me And the old man smiled Just the same as before Slowly getting old arranging his things Making business neat and tidy Sitting in a café in Tangier That’s the way the world ends With a whimper |
