LA TRISTESSER DURERA (SCREAM TO A SIGH)
ALBUM : GOLD AGAINST SOUL
Life has been unfaithful
And it all promised so so much
I am a relic
I am just a petrified cry
Wheeled out once a year, a cenotaph souvenir
The applause nails down my silence
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh
I see liberals
I am just a fashion accessory
People send postcards
And they all hope I'm feeling well
I retreat into self-pity, it's so easy
Where they patronise my misery
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh
I sold my medal
It paid a bill
It sells at market stalls
Parades Milan catwalks
All the sadness will never go
Will never go away
Baby it's here to stay
La tristesse durera
Scream to a sigh, to a sigh

LAST CHRISTMAS
FROM : LIVE RECORDED VERSION B-SIDES AND COVERS COMPLILATION : LIPSTICK TRACES - A SECRET HISTORY OF MANIC STREET PREACHRERS
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
The very next day
You gave it away
This year
To stop me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
The very next day
You gave it away
This year
To stop me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Once bitten but twice shy
I keep my distance
But you still catch my eye
Tell me baby
Do you recognise me?
It's been a year
It doesn't surprise me
Happy Christmas
I wrapped it up and sent it
With a note saying:
'I loved you, I meant it'
Now I know what a fool I've been
But if you kissed me now
I know you'd fool me again
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
The very next day
You gave it away
This year
To save me from tears
I'll give it to someone special
Last Christmas
I gave you my heart
The very next day
You gave it away
This year
To stop me from tears
I'll give it to someone special

LAST EXIT ON YESTERDAY
SINGLE : NEW ART RIOT (EP)
ALBUM : GENERATION TERRORISTS
Dance to the Valentine anthems that kill
Valium veins and eyes that sink
Lying down I want, want a brainwash trip
Don't wanna wake next to your stretched skin
Your screaming so much that I feel sorry to breathe
I wanna feel cold and I wanna bleed your disease
Hold your head up and pray for the sun
But rain keeps pouring on and on
Loveless, aloneless, life that just impales
As backs break thorns dig deeper in
Your screaming so much that I feel sorry to breathe
I wanna feel cold and I wanna bleed your disease
Baby can't have her little bit of love
Cos it's wrapped up inside her lover's gun
Lazy fat executive seller
Sway to the sound of another dead lover
So dull and tired of his pretty face
Makes the truth seem easy but you know you've lost
Laugh at the TV, empty cell of life
Mundane exile it's not of your choice

LET ROBERSON SING
ALBUM : KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Where are you now
Broken up or still around
The CIA says you're a guilty man
Will we see the likes of you again
Can anyone make a difference anymore
Can anyone write a protest song
Pinky lefty revolutionary
Burnt at the stake for
A voice so pure
a vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Went to Cuba to meet Castro
Never got past sleepy Moscow
A giant man with a heavenly voice
MK Ultra turned you paranoid
No passport 'til 1958
McCarthy poisoned through with hate
Liberty lost still buried today
Beneath the lie of the USA
Say what you want
Say what you want
A voice so pure
a vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
"Now let the Freedom Train come zooming down the track / Gleaming in the sunlight for white and black / Not stopping at no stations marked colored nor white / Just stopping in the fields in the broad daylight / Stopping in the country in the wide open air / Where there never was a Jim Crow sign nowhere / And no lilly-white committees, politicians of note / Nor poll tax layer through which colored can't vote / And there won't be no kinda color lines / The Freedom Train will be yours / And mine"
A voice so pure - a vision so clear
I've got to learn to live like you
Learn to sing like you
Sing it loud, sing it proud
I will be heard, I will be found
Sing it loud, sing it proud
I will be heard, I will be found...

ALBUM : WARCHILD 2005 " HELP : A DAY IN THE LIFE "
"We do also speak politics to you today"
Leviathan, yeah we all want one
Obedience, consent, accept death
Brutal, nasty, this life is short
A Damp refusual, you will be caught
Leviathan disguised
Leviathan in all your eyes
Worship denied, on your knees and pray
This simple expectation to save this day
Dictators or democracy,
all pay the price to make us free,
Angels, devils, and some more charade
Give us pain, a god without shame
Leviathan disguised
Leviathan in all your eyes
Worship denied, on your knees and pray
This simple expectation to save this day
Reprobates, and MPLA
Patty Hearst, oh, they're all the same,
Baader-Meinhof and medusa touch
Leviathan, I am your son
Worship denied, on your knees and pray
This simple expectation to save this day
Worship denied, on your knees and pray...

LIFE BECOMING A LANDSLIDE
ALBUM : GOLD AGAINST THE SOUL
Childbirth tears upon her muscle
Very first second a screaming icon
Babies in time barely even recognise
Words that once stroked now bruising tired lips
My idea of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don't wanna be a man
Everyday more numb to agony
This the howl this the sigh of the lonely
One day I realise oil on canvas
Can never paint a petal so so delicate
My idea of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Life becoming a landslide
Ice freezing nature dead
Life becoming a landslide
I don't wanna be a man
My idea of love comes from
A childhood glimpse of pornography
Though there is no true love
Just a finely tuned jealousy
Life becoming a landslide
A mile empty inside
Life becoming a landslide
Desire on its knees
Life becoming a landslide
A mile empty inside
Life becoming a landslide
Desire on its knees

LITANY
SINGLE : EMPTY SOULS
ALBUM : LIFEBLOOD
Been at war with myself since the day I was born
cannot find any real peace, just invisible treaties
Been at war with myself and all the things I've said
if You live with regrets, they can give you some strength
I've got to learn to make the best
And I've got to learn to make some friends
Tangled up in a spider's web
of my litany...

LITTLE BABY NOTHING
ALBUM : GENERATION TERRORISTS
"You didn't need to do that / Don't forget all that I took off her / You needn't have been so cruel to someone alone as she is / Delicate article she is / She is, she was / You didn't know blanche as a girl / Nobody, nobody, was tender and trusting as she was / But people like you abused her and forced her to change" [this soundbite was used in an early version of 'little baby nothing' but later removed]
[intro, only in the heavenly version of 'little baby nothing']
No one likes looking at you
Your lack of ego offends male mentality
They need your innocence
To steal vacant love and to destroy
Your beauty and virginity used like toys
My mind is dead, everybody loves me
Wants a slice of me
Hopelessly passive and compatible
Need to belong, oh the roads are scary
So hold me in your arms
I wanna be your only possession
Used, used, used by men
Used, used, used by men
All they leave behind is money
Paper made out of broken twisted trees
Your pretty face offends
Because it's something real that I can't touch
Eyes, skin, bone, contour, language as a flower
No god reached me, faded films and loving books
Black and white TV
All the world does not exist for me
If I'm starving, you can feed me lollipops
Your diet will crush me
My life just an old man's memory
Little baby nothing
Loveless slavery, lips kissing empty
Dress your life in loathing
Breaking your mind with Barbie doll futility
Little baby nothing
Sexually free, made-up to breakup
Assassinated beauty
Moths broken up, quenched at last
The vermin allowed a thought to pass them by
You are pure, you are snow
We are the useless sluts that they mould
Rock 'n' roll is our epiphany
Culture, alienation, boredom and despair...

LITTLE TROLLS
SINGLE : OCEAN SPRAY
ALBUM : KNOW YOUR ENEMY
You're just a wasted f**k
A wrinkled up antique
All roads to your home will be cursed and drowned
Your mind is a wilderness
Your taste buds rediculous
So come on and give us your trust
You work for the world's leading fascist
Little trolls, oh little trolls
Eat our bread
And sing our songs
Little trolls, oh little trolls
Pay our dues and pay our tolls
Pay our dues and pay our tolls
Pay our dues and pay our tolls
Little trolls
Ignore these small people at your peril
Ignore them all the dirty devils
Strange kind of people
Strange kind of world
Happy when pissed but can't let go
Can't let go
Can't let go
Little trolls, oh little trolls
Silly stupid f**king animals
Little trolls, oh little trolls
Live in caves, live like cannibals
Live in caves, live like cannibals
Live in caves, live like cannibals
Little trolls
Spiteful twisted unforgiven
Sad and inverted and stunted
Retarded ugly balding old man
Old man
Little trolls, oh little trolls
Eat our bread
And sing our songs
Little trolls, oh little trolls
Pay our dues and pay our tolls
Live in caves, live like cannibals
Pay our dues and pay our tolls
Little trolls

Elusive and dismantled
A correspondence school behind
All the world, the darkest glass
I don't need it, I don't fear it
I don't need it, I don't fear it
Long Island blues in Locust Valley
In Locust Valley
Long Island blues in Locust Valley
In Locust Valley
Simply unconstructed
The shattered portrait's frame
I feel the words and company names
Of his attempts at empty fame
I don't need it, I don't fear it
I don't need it, I don't fear it

LOVE TORN US UNDER
SINGLE : REVOL
ALBUM : THE HOLY BIBLE
Heaven's weariness, I'm climbing the walls
Asleep, I daydream, I could change it all
Running from something too painful to face
Epitaph's torn into barefoot soled feet
Ecstasy's columns decay into night
Underneath hope she let sanity die
Wasting my time on the shackles of her love
At night complete love's torn us under
Love is dragging me under
Betray my other self
The lost hours are over
A gentleman's left me, A cataract's past life
Searching for something I'm unable to find
Too weak, too envious, sorrow's daily rhyme
I found so much grief that I just turned ice
Memory cannot choose where it wants to be
Love this sex, self pity as mangled sheets
A tenderness declines in the mind
At night complete love's torn us under
Love is dragging me under
Betray my other self
The lost hours are over

LOVE'S SWEET EXILE
ALBUM : GENERATION TERRORISTS
"Between the billboard m*sturbation / Across highways of metallic isolation / There lies the deafening screaming of the millions / Wiping out the diseased pages of apathy that bleed our innocence"
Love's sweet exile
Love's sweet exile
We blur into images of state coercion
Classified machines die misunderstood
City reflections pour out misery
We don't count cos we hate
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Leave this country
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Leave it
Despair seeps through and cuts our eyes
Unified collapse of everything inside
We understand but can't accept
That you are not dead cos we hate
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Leave this country
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Leave it
Our lives drift into a faceless sense of void
Everything of meaning becomes destroyed
There's too much concrete for us to breathe
We are kept down cos we hate
Love's sweet exile
Love's sweet exile
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Leave this country
Rain down alienation
Leave this country
Believe it
Love's sweet exile
Love's sweet exile

MASKING TAPE
SINGLE : LET ROBESON SING
ALBUM : KNOW YOUR ENEMY
Black out the whites of all your eyes
Give me the wide spaces that I need inside
I've been a rake recollection and then frame it with loss
Happy alone again with all my photographs
The masking tape that holds our life together
For six months of the year
The masking tape transparent forever
Forever, most of the year
For all the months of the year
Happy black days, now here's the summer
Deadly time left alone with no other
Shivering and hunched, that's me in the corner
Someone calls my name but I don't bother
The masking tape that holds our life together
For six months of the year
The masking tape transparent forever
Forever, most of the year
For all the months of the year
Happy black days, here's the summer
Happy black days, here's the summer
Happy black days, here's the summer...
The masking tape that holds our life together
For six months of the year
The masking tape transparent forever
Forever, most of the year
For all the months of the year

MAUSOLEUM
ALBUM : THE HOLY BIBLE
Wherever you go I will be carcass
Whatever you see will be rotting flesh
Humanity recovered glittering etiquette
Answers her crime with mausoleum rent
Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind your success inspires
And analyse, despise and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning...
No birds, no birds
The sky is swollen black
And no birds, no birds
Holy mass of dead insects
Come and walk down memory lane
No one sees a thing but they can pretend
Life eternal scorched grass and trees
For your love nature has haemorrhaged
Regained your self-control
And regained your self-esteem
And blind your success inspires
And analyse, despise and scrutinise
Never knowing what you hoped for
And safe and warm but life is so silent
For the victims who have no speech
In their shapeless guilty remorse
Obliterates your meaning
Obliterates your meaning...
No birds, no birds
The sky is swollen black
And no birds, no birds
Holy mass of dead insect
"I wanted to Rub the human face in it's own vomit / And force it to look in the mirror"
And life can be as important as death
But so mediocre when there's no air, no light and no hope
Prejudice burns brighter when it's all we have to burn
The world lances youth's lamb-like winter

METHADONE PRETTY
ALBUM : GENERATION TERRORISTS
I am nothing and should be everything
You're methadone pretty, surrender in pity
Intentional destruction germ
Eats your thoughts and make you happy
They wanna piece of your skin
Pump it safer than, than a suicide
Methadone pretty
Methadone pretty
Heart beats like a refugee machine
Pretty hostage mass, licensed to obey
Xerox days to acceptance
Decline accelerates into prejudice
They wanna piece of your skin
Pump it safer than, than a suicide
Methadone pretty
Methadone pretty
I accuse history, I accuse
I accuse history, I accuse
I accuse history
I accuse history, I accuse
I accuse history, I accuse
I don't need your history
Wreckage inside all that's real
Another bought product, no reality
Passive consumers with patrolled desires
Mindless countdown to retirement
They wanna piece of your skin
Pump it safer than, than a suicide
Gonna stay a terminal young thing
And never gonna be methadone pretty
Methadone pretty
Methadone pretty
Methadone

Luddite lover
Forgiving father
Unhappy forever
Live it to where you can
Those skies must drive you wild
This earth around you
This silence around you
Be with the sky tonight
You've ruined more than you'll gain
Know what you mean, but not what you do
Nature will take care of itself
Your ego will destroy itself
Montana Autumn 78
Your life into the future
Maybe forty years
A life worth saving or lonesome ever more
The nothingness of truth
Or everlasting youth
Ideology or the ultimate thrill
You've ruined more than you'll gain
Know what you mean, but not what you do
Nature will take care of itself
Your ego will destroy itself

Itemise loathing and feed yourself smiles
Organise your safe tribal war
Hurt maim kill and enslave the ghetto
Each day living out a lie
Life sold cheaply forever, ever, ever
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Life lies a slow suicide
Orthodox dreams and symbolic myths
From feudal serf to spender
This wonderful world of purchase power
Just like lungs s*cking on air
Survival's natural as sorrow, sorrow, sorrow
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us
All we want from you are the kicks you've given us...
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Under neon loneliness
Motorcycle emptiness
Drive away and it's the same
Everywhere death row, everyone's a victim
Your joys are counterfeit
This happiness corrupt political sh*t
Living life like a comatose
Ego loaded and swallow, swallow, swallow
Under neon loneliness

"Revolution, revolution, revolution..."
Never ever wanted to be with you
The only thing you gave me was the boredom I suffocate in
Adrift in cheap dreams don't stop the rain
Numbed out in piss towns just wanna dig their graves
Ooh ooh ooh
Motown, Motown junk
I laughed when Lennon got shot
Twenty-one years of living and nothing means anything to me
Motown junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown junk
Motown junk
Motown junk
Motown junk
I don't want cos I just get
All you slut heroes offer is a fear of the future
Ooh ooh ooh
Past made useless and I'm dying now
Communal tyranny a jail that bleeds our wrists
Ooh ooh ooh
Motown, Motown junk
I laughed when Lennon got shot
Twenty-one years of living and nothing means anything to me
Motown Junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal
Stops your heart beating for 168 seconds
Stops your brain thinking for 168 seconds
Motown junk

Motown Junk a lifetime of slavery
Songs of love echo underclass betrayal

MR CARBOGYDRATE
SINGLE : A DESIGN FOR LIFE
ALBUM : EVERYTHING MUST GO
They call me Mr Carbohydrate
It's the only thing I can digest
Xenophobia or general disinterest
I must catch up with all this stuff
They call me a boring f**khead
Say I might as well work in a bank
I tell them I wish I was
They tell me that I'm sick in the head
They say that I'm sick in my head
They call me Mr Carbohydrate
They call me Mr Inadequate
They call me Mr Paranoia
They call me Mr Hypochondria
Have you heard of Matthew Maynard
He's my favourite cricketer
I would rather watch him play
Than pick up my guitar
Than play with my guitar
People tell me that I should get out more
But the TV is my best friend
Cynicism is the only thing that keeps me sane
The only thing that keeps me sane
They call me Mr Carbohydrate
They call me Mr Inadequate
They call me Mr Paranoia
They call me Mr Hypochondria
Sometimes I just stay in bed
And think about the day
When I can retire
Forgetting everything
I'll forget everything
Forget everything
Forever but not today
When I cannot, cannot say
No more yesterdays
No more yesterdays

MY GUERNICA
ALBUM : KNOW YOUR ENEMY
I'm small and I'm tired
I'm blurred to bits and wired
I'm nothing in this universe
Nothing but pieces of dust
Appearing in more repeats
The mirror man has seen defeat
Hide away, be old and grey
Alfred J. Prufrock would be proud of me
Keep it together - hold it together
Keep it together - hold it together
Little someone in my own little Guernica
Sleep so heavy that it's out of the question
Little someone in my own little Guernica
Wake up and pour myself another ice-breaker
Going now so happy and so loose
Making bigger holes in my stomach
Losing losing split down the middle
With no end and no beginning
I'm small and I'm tired
I'm blurred to bits and wired
I'm nothing in this universe
Nothing but pieces of dust
Keep it together - hold it together
Keep it together - hold it together
Little someone in my own little Guernica
Sleep so heavy that it's out of the question
Little someone in my own little Guernica
Wake up and pour myself another ice-breaker
Keep it together - hold it together
Keep it together - hold it together
Little someone in my own little Guernica
Sleep so heavy that it's out of the question
Little someone in my own little Guernica
Wake up and pour myself another ice-breaker

Is as good as it can get
My little empire
Is coming around
My little empire
It don't make a sound
My royalty, it does not exist
It is extinct for the eye to see
My ideology, it is dead and gone
Almost forgotten for the eye to see
My little empire
I'm sick of being sick
My little empire
I'm tired of being tired
My little empire
I'm bored of being bored
My little empire
I'm happy being sad
All of my sins are attempts to fill the voids
All of my voids they are filled with sin
All of my demons they are kept within
And all my violence it does not exist
My little empire
I'm happy being sad
My little empire
I'm f**ked with being f**ked
My little empire
I'm done with being dumb

I'm happy being sad
Happy being sad

NEVER WANT AGAIN
SINGLE : LITTLE BABY NOTHING
ALBUM : GENERATION TERRORISTS
I'm feeling sick with alcohol
I'm feeling numb with stupid pain
I smell death all around our name
I feel the snakes crawling upon my skin
Everywhere, everywhere is on its knees
I'm too scared and I'm too afraid, too afraid
We'll go down, we'll go down together
And meet a few of you in hell
Burn on by our side
Burn on by our side and never want again
I get told I should be happy
I got no rights on how I feel
I lost my language easily
I saw the rain bleaching my way
My gut gets sick of all its lies
Thrown all hope way outside, way outside
We'll go down, we'll go down together
And meet a few of you in hell
Burn on by our side
Burn on by our side and never want again
We'll go down, we'll go down together
And meet a few of you in hell
Burn on by our side
Burn on by our side and never want again

NEW ART RIOT
SINGLE : NEW ART RIOT
Vintage aromas and vintage ideals
Old men greying to a dying country's needs
Waiting for a knighthood to while away the hours
Listen and learn now it's time to kill your betters
Museums are dead take a new art stance
Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat
Hospital closures kill more than car bombs ever will
And it saves money because people are expendable
Cold shoulder insurgents and love arms dealers
Everybody's taking drugs because it makes governing easier
Museums are dead take a new art stance
Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat
Sell out the past and learn to obey
You spit out and douse a molotov cocktail
Revolution soon dies, sold out for a pay rise
China, Russia, England, all washed up in power abuse
Terrorism is an excuse that the ruling class use
Wipe out aristocracy now, kill, kill, kill, kill, kill
England makes judgements of old school propaganda
The only threat to heads are silenced by dumb pleasure
Museums are dead take a new art stance
Paint mass suicide on the aspiration diktat

NO JUBILEES

Empty endless jubilees
Re-enforce our lost freedom, oh well
With such little space to breath
Still subjects on our knees
Provincial trilogies
From the heart of our misery
Make way for history
Flickering like a long lost memory
No Jubilees
But in the excuse there lies the message
Is loneliness just an invention
The dream is escape, escape but a trap to fall
Desires are fed but will never stop
Provincial trilogies
From the heart of our misery
Make way for history
Flickering like a long lost memory
No Jubilees
Provincial trilogies
From the heart of our misery
Make way for history
Flickering like a long lost memory

For me for you we knew they were lies
It makes me angry ashamed but really alive
It may have worked but at what price
What's the point in always looking back
When all you see is more and more junk
It was no surface but all feeling
Maybe at the time it felt like dreaming
Maybe richer maybe wiser
Seems so easy to not go too far
Beg me to stop hate my face I know
They tell me forever just to go
Just one thing before I get to sleep
Nothing here but the stains on my teeth
No not blood just liquid from you
I only wish it was the truth
Feel the guilt of a sinner
Feel the cold of a winter
It was no surface but all feeling
Maybe at the time it felt like dreaming

NOBODY LOVED YOU
ALBUM : THIS IS MY TRUTH TELL ME YOURS
What's your story baby
No control of what I am saying
Winter leaves still make me believe
No vendettas, just a cherry blossom tree
Never had the chance to take you home
Now there's no reason just another tomorrow
You keep giving me your free air miles
What would I give just for one of your smiles
Just for one of your smiles
Nobody loved you, nobody made you feel so alone
Nobody loved you
Nobody loved you, nobody made you feel so alone
Nobody loved you
Let me turn down all these lights
And sit with me then you can hold me tight
Give me some more of your carrier bags
And let me dream of a new autumn light
Tell me your story baby
What's your poison and what is your honey
You've stopped me hurting but so much disorder
Winter flowers did you ever forgive her
Did you ever forgive her
Nobody loved you, nobody made you feel so alone
Nobody loved you
Cherry blossom tree, but at least you are free
Nobody loved you like me
It's unreal now you're gone
But at least you belong
Nobody loved you
What's the story baby
No control of what I am saying
Winter leaves still make me believe
No vendettas, just a cherry blossom tree
Just a cherry blossom tree

NO-ONE KNOWS WHAT IT'S LIKE TO BE ME
SINGLE : EVERYTHING MUST GO
ALBUM : EVERYTHING MUST GO
To all the people who've hurt me
To all the life that has left me
To all the longing that lost me
To all the future that scares me
To all the words that have drained me
To all the questions that bored me
To all the people that believed me
To all the money that blinded me
No-one knows what it's like to be me
No-one knows what it's like to be me
To all the skies that have reached for me
To all the oceans that drowned me
To all the rain that has soothed me
To all the sun that depressed me
To all the people who lived in fear
To all the life that is held so dear
To all the empty souls who still despair
I know it's the same for everyone
No-one knows what it's like to be me
No-one knows what it's like to be me
Doctor and dentist, housewife and thief
No-one knows what it's like to be me
No-one knows what it's like to be me
No-one knows what it's like to be me
Doctor and dentist, housewife and thief
No-one knows what it's like to be me

NOSTALGIC PUSHEAD
ALBUM : GOLD AGAINST THE SOUL
I am the raping sunglass gaze
Of sweating man and escort agencies
60s alienation the anthem of care
Now a knife constantly slashing eyelids
Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the god
Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the god
They dig the new scene and their parties
Where Stonehenge is worshipped and drug's a deity
Vicarious thrills re-run their youth
We follow we have no voice the dead
Radio nostalgia is radio death
I wanna cover diamonds on my wife
Hard rock nostalgia, the Stones on CD
Tranquillised icons for the sweet paralysed
Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the god
Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the god
So cool the new sound of the decade
Thinks it's so fresh, not a post Elvis still
All taste is nothing, old pictures blow dried
Rebellion, it always sells at a profit
I am a face of fashion in Soho Square
My tie is Paul Smith or Gaultier
My cheeks blood red as my favourite port
But hey cocaine keeps cholesterol at bay
Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the god
Slavery to the beat
Slavery to the chord
Slavery to the pleasure
Slavery to the god
Some god

OCEAN SPRAY
ALBUM : KNOW YOUR ENEMY
"me-totemo-utsukushi-i-desu-ne / totemo-utsukushi-i-me-wo-sh*temasu"
It's easy to see, it's easy to see
To see only white where colour should be
It's easy to feel, it's easy to feel
But it's not good enough, even though it's real
please stay away
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray
please stay away
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray
It's easy to breathe, it's easy to breathe
To breathe only air where life should be
It's easy to laugh, it's easy to cry
To cry so so hard that it can't be denied
please stay awake
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray
please stay awake
And then we can drink some Ocean Spray

OF WALKING ABORTION
ALBUM : THE HOLY BIBLE
"I knew that someday I was gonna die / And I knew before I died
Two things would happen to me / That number one I would regret my entire life / And number two I would want to live my life over again"
Life is lead weights, pendulum died
Pure or lost, spectator or crucified
Recognised truth acedia's blackest hole
Junkies winos whores the nation's moral suicide
Loser, liar, fake or phoney
No one cares
Everyone is guilty
f**ked up, dunno why
You poor little boy
We are all of walking abortions
Shalom shalom we all love our children
We all are of walking abortions
Shalom shalom there are no horizons
Mussolini hangs from a butcher's hook
Hitler reprised in the worm of your soul
Horthy's corpse screened to a million
Tiso revived, the horror of a bullfight
Fragments of uniforms
Open black ruins
A moral conscience
You've no wounds to show
So wash your car
In your X baseball shoes
We are all of walking abortions
Shalom shalom we all love our children
We all are of walking abortions
Shalom shalom there are no horizons
Little people in little houses
Like maggots small blind and worthless
The massacred innocent blood stains us all
Who's responsible, you f**king are
Who's responsible, you f**king are...

OUT OF TIME
ALBUM : WARCHILD ALBUM " 1 LOVE "
You don't know what's going on
You've been away for far too long
You can't come back and think you are still mine.
You're out of touch my baby
My poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby baby baby you're out of time
Well baby baby baby you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
Baby, baby, baby you're out of time
You thought you were a clever girl giving up your social whirl
But you can't come back and be the first in line
You're obsolete, my baby, my poor old-fashioned baby
I said baby baby baby you're out of time
Well baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
I said baby, baby, baby, you're out of time
Yes, you are left out
Out of there without a doubt
Baby baby baby you're out of time...
