Now you're under a spell
Drop your bombshell
Now I'm trying to tell you
That I'm broke into two
When it comes to confidence
There's a handful
And I confide this
I'm on a winning streak
I play games with the freaks
Oh yeah I'm a fan
A spectator
I never get involved
On the sidelines I observe
This situation evolve
A situation too much for me
Well I'll just stay in my seat
I'm on a winning streak
I play games with the freaks
Hello out there
You're all playing it unfair
Try the outside
Try the downside
Try to decide
Between the girls & the guys
Make a statement
On a new wavelength
Try some zing
I'm on a winning streak
I play games with the freaks

Strawberry

I don't know what I want but I want it now
After one taste i find I need more
Well I'm going get it but I don't know how
Strawberry seeds make my tongue bleed
Fruit filled with razor blades pop singer's expensive shit
Floors in my plan make me look bland
It's all to do with money though
Time to start going with the flow
I don't see your logic ever
My child, she's going to be wild when she grows up
Give her a childhood to write about later
So she doesn't go Europop and everybody hates her
Strawberry seeds make my tongue bleed
Fruit filled with razor blades pop singer's expensive shit
Floors in my plan make me look bland
It's all to do with money though
Time to start going with the flow
I don't see your logic ever

I feel like I'm still off your radar
And in a minute I'll be tamed
"Always crashing in the same bar"
Everyone looks the same
Try to be yourself
Try to be the same
I try to be myself but...
I never felt this way
They say you'll always feel the same
Try your luck and try again
Try to be yourself
I never wanted to be this way
Again
Where would I be without my gaydar?
Would I be just the same?
Where would I be without my gaydar?
In a minute I'll be tamed
Where would I be without my gaydar?
Would I be just the same?
Try to be yourself
Try to be the same
I try to be myself but...
I never felt this way
They say you'll always feel the same
Try your luck and try again
Try to be yourself
I never wanted to be this way
Again
So try your luck and try again
Try to be yourself
I never wanted to be this way
Again

Mannequins

My mannequin I am pleased to have known you
We lived in sin but I'm pleased to have known you
We had a lot of good times
Your lay figure laying close to mine
All the birds and the bees are flying out of trees
Just to get a fibreglass frame of mind
We lied like everybody does
Underneath the glass and the industrial dust
We smiled in love and lust
I'm going to die just like everybody else does
And then they melted me down
I'm not a coward, I'd be nowt but naked
They melted me down
No suprise that I'd be outdated
We had the best of the 'fanplastic' years
Your lay figure laying down in fear
All the birds and the bees are flying out of trees
Just to get our fibreglass frame of mind
And then they melted me down
I'm not a coward, I'd be nowt but naked
They melted me down
No suprise that I'd be outdated

Change Of Scenery
04:07
|

|
When I close my eyes I can see
So many colours I've never seen
Before the spring I smile and take one last deep breath
Smell the begining of winter's death
C'mon you see
You never took it so seriously
Well I think it's time for a change of scenery
A speck of dust falls in the sunbeam
Did it jump? Was it pushed? Did anyone see?
Familar smells, familar tastes, changes in the air
This present time is in disrepair
C'mon you see
You never took it so seriously
Well I think it's time for a change of scenery
I never thought this change would mean the end

Let's Stay Apart
04:48
|

|
Why kill the survivors when you're not surving yourself?
I'm building a wall to baracade myself in, dump myself in
I'm waging a war, an unwinnable choice of war
I'm weighing up the price of fighting alone
I'm alone in this
Let's stay apart
Let's stay apart
Let's stay apart
Let's stay apart
Now kill the survivors when you're not killing yourselves
Building up a wall to dump myself in, dump myself in
I'm building a war, a vulture's choice of war
I'm alone in this
I'm alone in this
Let's stay apart
Let's stay apart
Let's stay apart
Let's stay apart
Let's stay away
Let's stay away hey
Away, away today

Seeing A Ghost

Clubbing tonight
On my own
Someone to go with
They're at home
You see that man at the back by the window
Well I think he'll do
So I go over and do my thing
Because he reminds me of you
Time creeps by
You're not by my side
You're not by my side
Blood rushes to my head
So I give you a call
Non will let me into their bed
And I want them all
Where are you when I need you?
Where are you when it matters most?
Can't you tell I need to see you?
Now I'm seeing a ghost
Time creeps by
You're not by my side
You were the one I chose
And now I'm seeing a ghost
It's like seeing a ghost
Arrive alone but leave together
Time creeps by
You're not by my side
You were the one I chose
And now I'm seeing a ghost
It's like seeing a ghost

Return To Life

String puppet hanging still by it's kneck
I love it but I cut of it's legs
Some day you'll find it burning on a spit
Thousand gather and kick it with the kids
Still kicking
Still kicking
Still kicking now
Our finest hour
We're waiting for our excuse
To return to life
I'm alive!
We're hold on for our turn
To return to life
In the midday sun
The vultures come
And feed off the puppet's flesh
Then one by one
They pull out their guns
And fall to their death
Still kicking
Still kicking
Still kicking now
Our finest hour
We're waiting for our excuse
To return to life
I'm alive!
We're hold on for our turn
To return to life

Hotel
Damage
Make me want to live
Make me want to cry
But why? Why?
Make me into something new
Dream dream sequence
Rapid eyes move
Move
To and fro
Surrealist Manifesto
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Hold me
Throw me
In a land of nod
Use me
Abuse me
Ask me why, why, why, why?
Make me shiver with fright
The shock, shock, horror, horror
shock, shock
horror of my plight
Move
To and fro
Surrealist Manifesto
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Surrealist Manifesto
Surrealist Manifesto
Let's go
Let's go
Surrealist Manifesto
Let's go
