King of the World

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I couldn’t count my fortune
My fortune sits all day
in my apple of a love
 
See me today
I been worn away
with floating away
he oughta know
 
Going around and around
going around ‘cause
I hate what you aren’t but you are the
king of the world
 
In your root you shoot like stars
and you feel so fat
like a diplomat
and you rule me so fine
over my line
 
You like me some days
then take my money away
won’t you obey?

Time Bomb

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Can you let go of something you know like a number
everyday spaces jamming up the flow
 
Maybe I’ll tire soon of the mire of longing
What’s in the place there couldn’t be alone
 
Christ it’s a long day out
 
Wasn’t making good time ‘cause I made up my mind to take a wrong way
taking back steps two at a time
 
If you put me off again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
 
You never know, you never know…
 
Christ it’s a long day out
 
The forces at work know me for working like a whipped dog
Are they turning a tide to see if I’ll ride another time bomb
 
But if you never come ‘round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
you never know, you never know…
 
Got me one time, I give it for love
got me two times, I give it for nothing
 
Living with you I found 20 new ways to be lonely
I’d say its high time to pray for a new day
 
Daddy I was right to take a year of my life to think it over
and stranger than true I faded my hope for you
 
But if you never come ‘round again
what would the new mess that you see before you do..
 
You never know, you never know..
 
Hangin’ at Old Simon’s over the avenue, all my keys out
Could you see it from my side
but maybe you won’t

Monster Heavy

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

If I wanted, I could be the one
poster honey
pink and wide smile like a monkey

If all I could want fit in two arms
If I live long
‘cause its all I can do not to drown…

No time to be just…
no time to be just anyone

Monster heavy
lightnin’ slick and tricked out atomic
Monster heavy
fearsome deep

If I went along tearing no walls or fevers down
well I shouldn’t be born
I couldn’t go on

Make true my old lie
if I can last that long
oh scene surreal

How could you be just…
no time to be just anyone

No Disgrace

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Hey, got the feel like you’ll never be sober
pain in all you are, like some head in a vice
 
You got glass hands, cheat sheets
a crazy mouth
and so what
 
Combusting in a ragged hole every devil knows
a bully slap
and where are all your big sisters now
 
In this place, no disgrace
only a glow
Everyone hears the sound
some back down
some ride the wrecking ball
 
Say you don’t mind
Say you don’t mind, for real
Say you don’t mind
Say you don’t mind
 
Could you love a dream exploded
that smashed your heart
or a hope that died on the vine?

Special Dark

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

This is where we start
In a pool of steam and shadow
Turn to honey my will of steel
 
When there’s nothing that you want
Nothing to lose
 
I come for love alone
faith like the ocean
warm tides waiting
I come for love alone
my secret’s out, my secret’s out
 
I’ll go away with the sound
your brittle heart makes
 
Take only everything
take back what you want, if you can
my love my love oh my love
 
I come for love alone
faith like the ocean
warm tides waiting
I come for love alone
my secret’s out
my secret’s out

S'Cool

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Let me pick me up
I’m down, for now
We can ride all night
no load will haunt you
the time is right, the time is right now
I been crazy
 
Don’t care where we go
the night, the hour, glow
Feel me feel you get off and high
We got it right, we got it right now
 
Turn away babe
and I forget your face
 
And there is no wrong
‘cause it’ll never be right
(so what do we say..?)
 
S’cool, s’cool, s’cool, s’cool, s’cool….

Modern Love

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

I catch the paperboy, but things don’t really change
I’m lying in the wind
but I never wave bye bye
but I try, I try
 
There’s no sign of life, its just the power to charm
Still lying in the wind
but I never wave bye bye
but I try, I try
 
Don’t believe in modern love
it terrifies me
walks on by
Don’t believe in modern love
 
Its not really work, its just the power to charm
Still lying in the wind but I never wave bye bye
but I try, I try
 
Don’t believe in modern love
Don’t believe in modern love

Whisper

• MP3 play whole song, hi-fi (broadband)

Inside I called me Nigger
finger on the trigger
what a cost to me in soul
my silence made a model thing so home to murder
had I found my place
 
I took me for a runner
but flat out in the gutter
I held out for victory sure
the real end to my war
 
and this could not hurt me more
this could not hurt me more
this could not hurt me more
 
Underneath and through me
something whispered to me
what I had to answer for
I looked up from the floor
 
This cannot hurt me more
this cannot hurt me more
this cannot hurt me more

I Will Have Everything
