Your love is like a studded leather headlock Your kiss it could put creases in the road You're rarer than a can of dandelion and burdock And those other girls are just post-mix lemonade Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me 'cause I'm a fool for you I poured my aching heart into a pop song I couldn't get the hang of poetry That's not a skirt girl, that's a sawn-off shotgun And I can only hoped you've got it aimed at me Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for Blue girls from once a upon a Shangri La How I often wonder where you are You have got that face that just says Baby, I was made to break your heart Suck it and see You never know Sit next to me Before I go Go Go Go Jigsaw women with hollow movie shoes Be cruel to me cause I'm a fool for you
Do the bad thing, Take off your wedding ring, But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse,
Oh the nights like a whirlwind, Somebody's girlfriend's talkin' to me but its alright, She's sayin that hes not gonna slap me or try to attack me, Hes not the jealous type, And I ony need to get half an excuse and im away, But when theres no excuses thats much easier to say, I've been before, And all these capers make her too forward to ignore, Well She's talkin but im not entirely sure, ohh
Do the bad thing, Take off your wedding ring, But it wont make it that much easier, it might make it worse,
Oh im stood at the bar and somebody's partner's talkin to me, But I dont know that is what she isnt she murmors things to confirm That the tragedy is true, And I knew 'how could she could have anyone she wants, And im strugglin to think of an immediate response,
Like I dont mind, Be a big mistake, For you to wait, And let me waste your time, Really love its fine, Really love its fine,
And then the first time it occured that there was something to destroy,
I knew before the invitation that there was this ploy, Oh but she carried on suggestin, a struggle to refuse, She said "its the red wine this time, but that is no excuse"
Old yellow bricks, Love's a risk, Quite the little Escapoligist Looked so miffed, When you wished, For a thousand places better than this,
You are the fugitive, But you dont know what you're runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldnt trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia, Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up?
She was enraged by the way, That the emperor put traps in the cage, And the days she being dull, Lead to nights readin beer bottles,
You're such a fugitive, But you dont know what you're runnin from, You cant kid us, And you couldn't trick anyone, Houdini, love you dont know what you're runnin away from,
Who wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up? Blinded by nostalgia, Who wants to sleep in a city that never wakes up?
You're at a loss, Just because, It wasnt all that you thought it was,
You are a fugitive but you dont know what you're runnin away from,
She said I want to sleep in the city that never wakes up, And revel in nostalgia, I know I said he wants to sleep in the city that never wakes up but, Dorothy was right though
I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive, In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs
Stop and wait a sec, Oh when you look at me like that my darling, What did you expect, I’ll probably still adore you with your hands around my neck, Or I did last time I checked
Not shy of a spark, The knife twists at the thought that I should fall short of the mark, Frightened by the bite though its no harsher than the bark, The middle of adventure is such a perfect place to start
I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive, In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs.
But I crumble completely when you cry, It seems like once again you’ve had to greet me with goodbye I’m always just about to go and spoil the surprise Take my hands off of your eyes too soon
I’m going back to 505, if it’s a 7 hour flight or a 45 minute drive, In my imagination you’re waiting, lying on your side, With your hands between your thighs, and a smile
Break a mirror, roll the dice Run with scissors through a chip pan fire fight go into business with a grizzly bear but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair
find a well known hardmanand start a fight wear your shell suit on bonfire night
Fit a circular hole with a peg that's square but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair
(Ohhhh Yeah Yeah Yeah) (Ohhhh Yeah Yeah Yeah)
bite the lighting and tell me how it tastes kung-fu fighting on your rollerskates do the macarena in the devil's lair but just don't sit down cause I've moved your chair
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
I've been feeling foolish You should try it She came unsubstituted the peace and quiet For acrobatic blood flow concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
Here is your host Sounds as if she's pulling close When the heat starts growing horns She's thunderstorms
She's been loop-the-looping around my mind Her motorcycle boots give me this kind of Acrobatic blood concertina Cheating heartbeat, rapid fire
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
In an unusual place When you're feeling far away She does what the night does to the day
She's thunderstorms Lying on her front Up against the wall She's thunderstorms
Lately I've been seeing things Belly button piercings In the sky at night When we're side by side And I don't mean to rain On anybody cabriolet One of those games You're gonna lose But you wanna play it Just in case
Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide
Does it help you stay up late Does it help you concentrate Does it tune you in When you chew your chin Am I ruining your fun
And you talk the talk alright But do you walk the walk Or catch the train You wanted it, you got it But you don't want it now
Now it's getting dark And the sky looks sticky More like black treacle than tar Black treacle Somebody told the stars You're not coming out tonight And so they found a place to hide
Now I'm out of place And I'm not getting any wiser I feel like The Sundance Kid Behind the synthesizer And I tried last night To pack away the laugh Like a key under the mat But it never seems to be there When you want it
I wanna build you up Brick by brick I wanna break you down Brick by brick I'm gonna reconstruct Brick by Brick I wanna feel you love Brick by brick Ahhhhhh Brick by brick Ahhhhhh I wanna steal your soul Brick by brick I wanna rock and roll Brick by Brick I wanna rock and roll Brick by brick I wanna rock and roll Brick by brick Ahhhhhh Brick by brick Ahhhhhh I wanna brick by brick Brick by brick I wanna blow wide berth Brick by brick I wanna melt this soul Brick by brick I wanna brick by brick, by brick, by Brick by brick Ahhhhhh Brick by brick Ahhhhhh Brick by brick Ahhhhhh Brick by brick Ahhhhhh
Just when things are getting complicated in the eye of the storm She flicks a red-hot revelation off the tip of her tongue It does a dozen somersaults and it leaves you supercharged Makes me wanna blow her candles out just to see if you glow in the dark Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Home sweet home, home sweet home, home sweet booby-trap I took the batteries out my mysticism and put 'em in my thinking cap She's got a telescopic hallelujah hanging up on the wall For when it gets too complicated in the eye of the storm Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Oh... And in a hellcat spangled cavern When your judgement's on the run And you're acting like a stranger Cause you thought it looked like fun Well did you ever get the feeling Did you think she set the fall Her steady hands may well have done the devil's pedicure What you waiting for? To sing another fuckin' Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala Shalalala

Library pictures of the quickening canoe The first of it's kind to get to the moon Trust some ellipses to chase you round the room Through curly straws and metaphors and goo Been watching all the neon blossom flickering You look as if you've all forgotten where you've been Going riding through the thunder suckle fuzz canyon 10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4 3, 2, 1 Library pictures of the quickening canoe The first of it's kind to get to the moon Give me an eenie meenie miney mo Or an ip dip dog shit rock n roll
Caricatures of your wrecking ball gown, in my mind All the time I wanna be in that, damsel patterned alley Where you go, for a smoke And sorrow slow dances The phones are lighting up Taking no chances Close but never close enough Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons Tinting the solitude Put on your dancing shoes And show me what to do. I know you've got the moves All my own stunts High noon changed it's tune Linking arms, syncing hearts And sorrow slow dances Around the edges of her eyes Taking no chances The last one out, to win a prize
Been watching cowboy films, on gloomy afternoons Tinting the solitude Put on your dancing shoes And show me what to do. I know you've got the moves Wooah Wooah Wooah Wooah "coz i'm from high green, i'm from high green"
Topless models doing semaphores wave their flags as she walks by and get ignored Illuminations on a rainy day When she walks her footsteps sing a reckless serenade I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I mean Called up to listen to the voice of reason And got the answering machine The type of kisses where teeth collide When she laughs her heaven's horn A stun gun lullaby Those twinkling vixens With a shine spiralize Their hypnosis goes unnoticed when she's walking by I've been trying to figure out exactly what it is I need Called up to listen to the voice of reason And got his answering machine I left my message but did he fuck back to me And now I'm stuck still and wondering how it's meant to be Singing a reckless serenade, reckless serenade Reckless serenade, reckless serenade Reckless serenade Reckless serenade Reckless serenade
I etched the face of a stopwatch On the back of a raindrop And did a swap for the sand in an hourglass. I heard the nun happy ending it sort of sounds like you’re leaving I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.
You look like you’ve been for breakfast at the heartbreak hotel Inside of a back booth by the pamphlets and the literature on how to lose. Your waitress was miserable and so was your food. If you’re gonna try and walk on water make sure you wear your comfortable shoes.
Mysteries flashing amber go green when you answer but the red on the rest of the questionnaire never changes. I heard the news that you’re trying to shoot me out of a cannon. I heard the piledriver waltz, it woke me up this morning.

Oh, piledriver.

Do you still feel younger than you thought you would by now Or, darling, have you started feeling old yet Don't worry, I'm sure that you're still breaking hearts With the efficiency that only youth can harness And do you still think love is a laserquest Or do you take it all more seriously I've tried to ask you this in some daydreams that I've had But you're always busy being make-believe And do you look into the mirror to remind yourself you're there Or have somebody's good-night kisses got that covered Well I'm not being honest, I'll pretend that you were just some lover
Now I can't think of there without thinking of you I doubt that comes as a surprise And I can't think of anything to dream about I can't find anywhere to hide And when I'm hanging on by the rings around my eyes And I convince myself I need another And for a minute it gets easier to pretend that you were just some lover
When I'm pipe and slippers and rocking chair Singing dreadful songs about something Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover Well I've found a better method of pretending you were just some lover
If you were there, beware the serpent soul pinchers Three hundred and fifty 'no thank you's' and nobody flinches Go on girl, go on, give us something gruesome We require your grief, the thugs help the thieves As they're trying to rob the words from her gob And take the source of the innocence
If you were there, beware the serpent soul pinchers Can't you sense she was never meant to fill column inches? And you've had enough, what you're trying to dig up Isn't there to be dug, the thieves help the thugs As they're trying be the good grace of a sweetheart Out to the point she'll comply
Why leave her on her own? If I'd have known then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
Why leave her on her own? If I predicted tears then I wouldn't have said it I wouldn't have said it if I would have known
There's a circle of witches, ambitiously vicious they are Our attempts to remind them of reason won't get us that far I don't know what it is that they want I don't know what it is that they want But I haven't got it to give She hasn't got it to give
