Once More With Feeling: Singles 1996-2004
36
Degrees
We were tight, but it falls apart as silver turns to blue.
Waxing with a candlelight, and burning just for you.
Allocate your sentiment, and stick it in a box.
I've never been an extrovert, but I'm still breathing.
Someone

Someone

With
hindsight, I was more than blind, lost without a clue.
Thought I was getting carat gold, and what I got was you.
Stuck inside the circumstances, lonely at the top.
I've always been an introvert
happily bleeding.

7 2 3 9 8 5 - I gotta breathe to stay alive,
and 1 4 2 9 7 8 - feels like I'm gonna suffocate.

Shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,
shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,
shoulder toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees,
shoulders toes and knees, I'm 36 degrees.
Teenage Angst
Shine the headlight, straight into my eyes.
Like the roadkill, I'm paralysed.
You see through my disguise
At
the drive-in, double feature,
pull the lever, break the fever
and say your last goodbyes.
Since
I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever ever goes my way
One
fluid gesture, like stepping back in time.
Trapped in amber, petrified.
And still not satisfied
Airs
and social graces, elocution so divine.
I'll stick to my needle, and my favourite waste of time,
both spineless and sublime.
Since
I was born I started to decay.
Now nothing ever - ever goes my way.
Nancy
Boy
Alcoholic kind of mood
lose my clothes, lose my lube
cruising for a piece of fun
looking out for number one
different partner every night
so narcotic outta sight
what a gas, what a beautiful ass.
And
it all breaks down at the role reversal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
Kind
of buzz that lasts for days
had some help from insect ways
comes across all shy and coy
just another nancy boy.
Woman man or modern monkey
just another happy junkie
fifty pounds, press my button
going down.
And
it all breaks down at the role reversal
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
Does
his makeup in his room
douse himself with cheap perfume
eyeholes in a paper bag
greatest lay I ever had
kind of guy who mates for life
gotta help him find a wife
we're a couple, when our bodies double.
And
it all breaks down at the role reversal
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
And
it all breaks down at the role reversal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
And it all breaks down at the first rehearsal,
got the muse in my head she's universal,
spinnin' me round she's coming over me.
Bruise Pristine
The means are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless, in the face of beauty
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me.
Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we were born to lose.
Cast
a line with a velvet glove
Reading like an open book, in the hands of love
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me.
Bruise,
pristine,
serene,
we were born to lose.
Encore
encore (echo)
Means
are right for taking, fade to grey
Trying to be ruthless, in the face of beauty
In this matrix, it's plain to see
It's either you or me.
Bruise,
pristine,
serene,

Pure Morning
A friend in need's a friend indeed
A friend with weed is better
A friend with breasts
And all the rest
A friend who's dressed in leather
A
friend in need's a friend indeed
A friend who'll tease is better
Our thoughts compressed
Which make us blessed
And makes for stormy weather
A
friend in need's a friend indeed
My Japanese is better
And when she's pressed
She will undress
And then she's boxing clever
Day's
dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
A
friend in need's a friend indeed
A friend who'll tease is better
Our thoughts compressed
With makes us blessed
And makes for stormy weather
A
friend in need's a friend indeed
A friend who bleeds is better
My friend confessed
She passed the test
And we will never sever
Day's
dawning, skins crawling
Pure morning
A
friend in need's a friend indeed
My Japanese is better
And when she's pressed
She will undress
And then she's boxing clever
A
friend in need's a friend indeed
A friend with weed is better
A friend with breast
And all the rest
A friend who's dressed in leather.
You Don't Care About Us
If it's a bad day,
You try to suffocate
Another memory scarred
If
it's a bad case,
Then you accelerate
You're in the getaway car
You
don't care about us
You don't care about us
If
it's a bad case,
You're on the rampage
Another memory scarred
You're
at wrong place,
You're on the back page
You're in the gateway car
You
don't care about us
You don't care about us
It's
your age, it's my rage
It's your age, it's my rage
You're
too complicated
We should separate it
You're just confiscating
You're exasperating
This degeneration
Mental masturbation
Think I'll leave it all behind
Save this bleeding heart of mine
It's
a matter of trust
Because
You
don't care about us
It's your age, it's my rage
It's your age, it's my rage
Every You Every Me
Sucker love is heaven sent
You pucker up, our passions spent
My heart's a tart
Your body's rent
My body's broken
Your is bent
Carve your name into my arm
Instead of stressed I lie here charmed
'Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Sucker
love a box I choose
No other box I choose to use
Another love I would abuse
No circumstances could excuse
In the shape of things to come
Too much poison come undone
' Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me...hee
Sucker
love who's known to swing
Prone to cling and waste these things
Pucker up for heaven's sake
There's never been so much at stake
I serve my head up on a plate
It's only comfort calling late
' Cause there's nothing else to do
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me...hee
Every me and every you
Every me...hee
Like
the naked leads the blind
I know I'm selfish, I'm unkind
Sucker love I always find
Someone to bruise and leave behind
All
alone in space and time
There's nothing here but what here's mine
Something borrowed something blue
Every me and every you
Every me and every you
Every me... hee
Every
me and every you
Every me...hee ( x 4 )
Without You
I'm Nothing
Strange infatuation seems to grace the evening tide
I'll take it by your side
Such imagination seems to help the feeling slide
I'll take it by your side
Instant correllation sucks and breeds a pack of lies
I'll take it by your side
Oversaturation curls the skin and tans the hide
I'll take it by your side
Tick
tock - tick tock - tick tick - tick tock
I'm
unclean, a libertine
And every time you vent your spleen
I seem to lose the power of speech
You're slipping slowly from my reach
You grow me like an evergreen
You've never seen the lonely me at all
I...
Take
the plan and spin it sideways
I...
Fall
Without
you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Without you, I'm nothing
Take the plan, spin it sideways
Without you, I'm nothing at all
Taste in Men
Come back to me a while
Change your style again
Come back to me a while
Change your taste in men
It's been this way since Christmas Day
Dazzled, doused in Gin
I'm killing time on Valentine's
Waiting for the day to end
Change your taste in men
Slave
To The Wage
Run away from all your boredom
Run away from all your whoredom
And wave your worries
And cares goodbye
All it takes is one decision
A lot of guts
A little vision
To wave your worries
And cares goodbye
Sick
and tired of maggie's farm
She's a bitch with broken arms
It's
a maze for rats to try
And it's a race for rats to die
Run away
Special K
Coming up beyond belief
On this coronary thief
More then just a lietmotif
More chaotic, no rilief
I'll describe the way I feel
Weeping wounds that never heal
Can this saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
No
hesitation, no delay
You came on just like special K
Just like I swallowed half my stash
I never ever want to crash
No hesitation, no delay
You came on just like special K
Now you're back with dope demand
I'm on sinking sand
Gravity
No escaping gravity
Not for free
I fall down
Hit the ground
Make a heavy sound
Every time you seem to come around
I'll
describe the way I feel
You're my new achille's heel
Can this saviour be for real
Or are you just my seventh seal?
Black-Eyed
I was never faithful
And I was never one to trust
Borderlining schizo
And guaranteed to cause a fuss
I was never loyal
Except to my own pleasure zone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
I
was never faithfull
And I was never one to trust
Borderline bipolar
Forever biting on your nuts
I was never grateful
Thats why I spend my days alone
I'm forever black-eyed
A product of a broken home
The Bitter End
Since
we're feeling so anaesthetized
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
We're running out of alibis
From the second of may
Reminds me of the summertime
On this winters day
See you at the bitter end
Every
step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home
You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fatefull day
See you at the bitter end
From
the time we intercepted... Feels more like suicide
See you at the bitter end...
This Picture
I
hold an image of the ashtray girl
Left cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
And put our friendship to the test
And late at night whilst on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
Farewell
the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture
Sometimes
it's faded
(We) Disentigrated (it)
The fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
(We) Assassinated (it)
For fear of growing old
Farewell
the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We fuckin miss her picture
Sometimes
it's faded
Disentigrated
The fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growing old
Hang On
Though we try
It's gone
Special Needs
Remember
me when your the one thet's silver screened
Remember me when your the one you always dreamed
Remember me whenever noses start to bleed
Remember me: special needs
Just
nineteen, a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just nineteen, a dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour
Remember
me when you clinch your movie deal
Think of me stuck in my chair that has 4 wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screams
Remember me: special dreams
Just
nineteen a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavor
Just nineteen a dream it seemed
Six months off for bad behavior
Just
nineteen, a sucker's dream
I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just nineteen, a dream obscene
With six months off for bad behaviour
English Summer Rain
Always stays the same
Nothing ever changes
English summer rain
Seems 2 last 4 ages
I'm
in the basement
You're in the sky
I'm in the basement baby
Drop on by
Hold
your breath and count to 10
Than fall apart and start again
Hold your breath and count to ten
Start again start again
Hold
your breath and count to ten
And fall apart and start again
Start again
Protège Moi
C'est le malaise du moment
L'épidemie qui s'étend
La fête est finie on descend
Les pensées qui glacent la raison
Paupières baissées, ces visages gris
Surgissent les fantomes de notre lit
On ouvre le loquet de la grille
Du taudis qu'on appelle maison
Protect
me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect
me, protect me
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Protège-moi, protège-moi
Sommes-nous
les jouets du destin?
Souviens-toi des moments divins
Planants, éclatés au matin
Et maintenant nous sommes tout seul
Perdu les rêves de s'aimer
Le temps où on avait rien fait
Il nous reste toute une vie pour pleurer
Et maitenant nous sommes tout seul
Protect
me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me from what I want
Protect me, protect me
Protège-moi,
protège-moi de mes désirs
Protège-moi de mes désirs
I Do
I wanna be much more like you
Your effortlessly graceful scene
Kiss from every pore of you
Where logic cannot intervene
I wanna take a bath with you
And wash the chaos from my skin
I wanna fall in love with you
So how do we begin
I
wanna be a girl like you
The way you swing your hips in jeans
I wanna wear my face like you
Shiseido mac and maybellene
I wanna paint the town with you
And tickle you until you scream
I wanna fall in love with you
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I
wanna be much more like you
The way your smile lights up the room
I'll kick back and then flirt with you
Jealously will stay in you
Confidence in me and you
Here's hoping you and I were blue
I wanna fall in love with you
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
I wanna say I do
Twenty Years
There are twenty years to go
And twenty ways to know
Who will wear the hat
There are twenty years to go
The best of all I hope
Enjoy the ride
The medicine show
And thems the breaks
For we designer fakes
We need to concentrate
On more than meets the eye
There are twenty years to go
The faithfull and the low
The best of starts
The broken hearth
The stone
There are twenty years to go
The punch drunk and the blow
The worst of starts
The mercy part
The phone
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes
We need to concentrate on more then meets the eye
And thems the breaks for we designer fakes
But it's you I take 'cause you'are the truth not I
There are twenty years to go
A golden age I know
But all will pass
Will end too fast
You know
There are twenty years to go
And many friends I hope
Though some may hold the rose
Some hold the rope.
And that's the end and that's the start of it
That's the all and that's the part of it
That's the high and that's the heart of it
That's the long and that's the short of it
That's the best and that's the test in it
That's the doubt, the doubt, the trust in it
That's the sight and that's the sound of it
That's the gift and that's the trick in it
You're the truth not I
