Throw Enough Shit, Some of It Sticks
Throw enough shit, some of it sticks
Some of it sticks to you
If I throw enough shit, some of it sticks
Some of it sticks to you
I’m not a monkey in a zoo
Not gonna throw real shit at you
I’m not a monkey in a zoo
Not gonna throw real shit at you
Throw enough shit, some of it slides
Some of it slides away
If I throw enough shit, some of it slides
Some of it slides away
Why don’t you ever wanna see it my way?
Hear it my way, feel it my way?
Why don’t you ever wanna see it my way?
Hear it my way, feel it my way?
Throw enough shit, some of it stinks
Stinks to the high heavens
If I throw enough shit, some of it stinks
Some of it stinks real bad
I’m not a monkey in a zoo
Not gonna throw real shit at you
I’m not a monkey in a zoo
Not gonna throw real shit at you
Throw enough shit, some of it sticks
Some of it sticks to you
If I throw enough shit, some of it sticks
Some of it sticks to you

You’re Just As Weird As Me
I’ve got a lot in my head
Most of it goes completely unsaid
Does it make any sense? (Sure does to me)
Does it really matter? (Damn right it doesn’t)
Well there’s something you should know
I saw you laughing again
It must have been something that I said
Will you lose any sleep? (Not that we’re aware)
Well never mind (Yeah never mind)
But there is something you should know
No wonder I’m so self conscious
For the umpteenth time you’ve misread my words
You could call me strange to some degree
But let me tell you you are just as weird as me
I’ve got a lot on my plate
Some of it doesn’t make me feel great
But can I forget? (Well you can try)
Already have (Think of something else)
There is something you should know
No wonder I’m so self conscious
For the umpteenth time you’ve misread my words
You could call me strange to some degree
But let me tell you you are just as weird as me

Begging For Broken Bones
It’s nice to see you in the morning
But dear you kept me up all night
Begging and a pleading ain’t my default style
I am so close I almost taste your smile
Look who’s come crawling out the woodwork
It’s only my sense of adventure
Pointing like an arrow at your body tonight
Climbing up the ladder of your tights
Deep conversations – volcanic flirtations
Deep conversations – volcanic flirtations
You like the rough stuff you’re begging for broken bones
Greedy for seconds you can’t leave me alone
Don’t want you to feel I’m being ungrateful
Or that I may have had enough
Begging and a pleading to get back on top
Lady I don’t think you ever want to stop
Mind in the gutter – melt you like butter
Mind in the gutter – melt you like butter
Ain’t you too proud to get down on your knees?
You’re never too old to sail the seven sleaze

No Is the New Yes
No one laughs in the morning
At least that’s what she told me
Maybe they are scared
Maybe they can’t bear the attention
So alone
I’m thinking of building something special
But nothing specific springs to mind
I have vague memories of rapture
I’m sure I used to care
I’m sure I used to care far too much
To much to bear
So what is this ghost creeping into my soul?
If this is progression maybe that’s why I feel so old
Everyone is secretly sad
Does that seem fair to say?
Deep down you know
Deep down there’s nowhere else left to go
That you know of
I’m losing my already tenuous grip
(Oh no hold on a little tighter!)
The law of sod states I will soon slip
This isn’t reality it’s just a trip

Watching Flowers

Watching Flowers
Sit here watching flowers
Out of harms way
This is an observer’s refrain,
It isn’t mine to lose
Which makes me a winner today
And what a day to win!
But it’s all just weeds
Complacent to the end
Through no great fault of their own
They flicker and moan
Don’t expect any virtue
I contemplate the distance
I know it is through
Don’t make no kind of mindful horizon,
Not an ounce of cloud
Which makes me discover myself
No more identity struggles
Cut from the same stone
Got lost along the way
Through no great fault of their own
They fester and bleed us naked
What kind of flower are you?
What kind of flower are you?

D-Meaning
Surrender your meaning to me
Surrender your meaning to me
Surrender the ghost of animosity,
Make sure I’m out of the way
Make sure I’m out of the way
Make an attempt to appear unafraid
Cleaning up the mess I didn’t make
Sometimes I’m good like that
I want to say something quite complicated
It’s an old idea – I’ve had it carbon dated
But I don’t have the words on my side anymore
Remember your feelings for me
Remember your feelings for me
Remember the art of possibility

Frown Away

Frown Away
Frown away like you don’t know what to do
While I’m away you may question what you knew
Ah ah ah…
Frown away in an awkward state of mind
You’ve had your say I’ll make sure that I’ll have mine
Ah ah ah…
Many times you brought me to
My proverbial knees in the morning dew
Maybe I could satisfy you
And your curiosity too
Crack the egg liberate what is inside
Pull my leg make me regret my foolish pride
Ah ah ah…
Frown away have you forgotten how to smile?
To my dismay I cannot find it in your file
Ah ah ah…

Three Minute Pop Song
If my impression of you ain’t necessarily true
Please forgive me
There is a lot on my plate and most of it I hate
It’s below me
Could be I know something you don’t know
A penance I owed a long time ago
Well maybe I am no solution
I am part of the problem
Why are you so stuck on a fence –
‘cause you can’t find the heart to agree?
With anything I say
My obsession with you is a very dangerous brew
It is potent
I’m quite hung-over today so I can’t possibly play
I’m too sleepy
Could be I know something you don’t know
A penance I owed a long time ago
Well maybe I am no solution
I am part of the problem
Why are you so unwilling to see the endless possibilities?
Why are you so stuck on a fence –
‘cause you can’t find the heart to agree?
With anything I say
With anything I say
With anything I say
With anything I say

Ripe For Ridicule
All this whispering
All this ignorance
You’re ripe for ridicule
Poised for disappointment
All this whispering
All this ignorance
You’re ripe for ridicule
Poised for disappointment
Fill your head with what I said
Make your bed till you are dead
All these creases
Pointless speeches
You’re ripe for ridicule
Poised for disappointment
All these creases
Pointless speeches
You’re ripe for ridicule
Poised for disappointment
Fill your head with what I said
Make your bed till you are dead

The Way It Is

The Way It Is
By turning a blind eye I show I care
In changing my mind I’m never always fair
But that’s the way it is and the sooner you accept it
The sooner you accept it the better
I turn on my heel after a brief stop
To make anyone watching think that I’ve gave up
But I’ve got better things to do than sit and worry
The less I sit and worry the better
Now how have I made you feel?
A wound that time and distance couldn’t hope to heal
Outside influences matter
Could be a pool of doubt or a pool of passion
And when your black heart doesn’t need them anymore
You can pine away – you can pine away
In showing emotion I give you guns
For your ever growing pile of ammunition
But that’s the way it is I can’t help it if I’m human
Help it if I’m human – nor can you

Music of My Mind
I don’t need looking after
It hurts me when you laugh
You’re just like a seagull
Only twenty times more daft
Though I miss your squiggly lines
I do not miss your frown
These things are not learned
I believe they’re handed down
When I get round to it
I give it all I’ve got
Once I have found the most
Appropriate time slot
It doesn’t matter how the
Planets are aligned
I’ll fill the silence with the music of my mind
Mind
Mind
Here comes the darkness
See them flee as it descends
Life made more difficult
When you can’t see your friends
Too late you hesitated
Now you’re left behind
Nothing to console you but the music of my mind
Mind
Mind

Ain’t if funny that you’re
Pulling focus away from me
I find it strange that
Nobody noticed the strain decreased
Make a wish and I fight to keep it
From interference
Would you be similarly fazed
If I changed my appearance?
I think I’ll draw a line
Thicker than swan shit
And then I’ll blur out
All the interesting bits
Got no money and I’ve got no focus
Of which to speak
Confidence is a complex concept
I’ve missed my peak
Don’t wanna toe the line
I’ll most likely fall
No submission
You can’t make me crawl

The Other Side of the Summer
I’ll see you on the other side of the summer
We can swap some interesting tales
And if nothing happened we could make up something
Let our imagination tip the scales
What’d you say – uh-huh!
It’s easy to see you as an addiction
And we all know how hard they are to kick
A simple feeling stretched to extremes
You could be the rose without the prick
Shadows lengthening the dark
Reach out for me like open arms
It’s such a cold embrace
I’ll see you on the other side of the summer
It isn’t quite as far as it seems
I pray that someone else can save you
I can’t always be first on the scene

Cobwebs
Still fighting sleep tonight
I sink low low low
Stalagmite or stalactite – I don’t know
Who put the cob in cobweb?
Who put the god in faith?
I’ve lost my appetite
In an odd odd mood
Not a single word uttered – is that rude?
About as gold as a goldfish
About as wild as a thing
Still I wake from paradise
To a storm
Failed attempts at hello have become the norm
Who put the fail in failure?
It gives me a sore head
