Demystification

(Cover of Zounds)

I look out the window and I wonder at it all
Staring at the circles that decorate the wall
Everybody's going to come and join them all
But I can't go with no one till I understand the call

Don't come round for me unless you got what I
Don't come round for me unless you got what I
Don't come round for me unless you got what I want
I want some Demystification
I want some Demystification
I want some Demystification about what's going on

My electronic shaver won't plug into the wall
Now I can't go to the party, the electrician didn't call
Now I hear they're counting numbers to store them in Whitehall
There's so much information, what can they do with it all

Chorus

Some people talk of Sheba, some they talk of God
Some talk of Politicians, some they talk of love
They mystify the heroes, offer chances we could take
I'm not looking for escapism, I just wanna escape

Chorus

God's gift

What's your passion ?
I think I see
You just can't bear to let things be
What's your weakness ?
I think I know
You just can't bear to let things go

Finger in every pie
Can't let a chance pass you by

Green with envy
Your greedy eyes
Have picked the flesh from all our lives
You want others
To act the same
To flatter you with their jealously

Life is a race to be won
You've got to beat everyone
You've got to be number one

Popular and beautiful
Adored by men and women too
Perfect in every way
At least that's what you say
You've lived and loved and suffered too
No-one's a patch on you
A saint, a star, a goddess and a brain

But, the truth now
Are you happy with your lies ?
You know, nothing's perfect
Aren't you lonely with your lies

Finger in every pie
Can't let a chance pass you by
Make up your life with the lies

But don't you think that what we see
Belies the things you claim to be
A saint, a star, a goddess and a brain

Astronaut

I recall how we used to meet
Running through the windy streets
Faces touched with body heat
I know
I can see us breathing from above
Lives are changing with our useless love
Is that enough ?

To feel her pain
To be with him, the same
To see you in vain

I rely on a moment's thought
Floating like an astronaut
Hiding is the last resort
I know

I Have The Moon

(Nowhere Soundtrack / Single girl EP)

We have walked in ancient times,
And we've been burnt for many crimes,
We have envied many lives,
But we never eally died,
You have the sun I have the moon.

You have to fly around the world all day,
To keep the sun upon your face,
I'd like to come and comfort you,
But i'd be blind if I were blue,
You have the sun I have the moon.

You've come to die under the sun,
And i'll be doomed to carry on,
You have become like other men,
But yet you kiss me once again,
You have the sun I have the moon.

All this useless beauty

(On Elvis costello EP)

It's at times such as this she'd be tempted to spit
If she wasn't so ladylike
She imagines how she might have lived back when legends and history collide
So she looks to her prince finding he's so charmingly slumped at her side
Those days are recalled on the gallery wall
And she's waiting for passion or humour to strike

What shall we do, what shall we do with all this useless beauty?

Good Friday arrived, the sky darkened on time
'Til he almost began to negotiate
She held his head like a baby and said "It's okay if you cry"
Now he wants her to dress as if you couldn't guess
He desires to impress his associates
But he's part ugly beast and Hellenic deceased
So she finds that the mixture is hard to deny

Chorus

She won't practice the looks from the great tragic books
That were later defaced, disgraced celluloid
It don't even make sense but you can bet

If she isn't a sweetheart, a plaything or pet
The film turns her into an unveiled threat
Nonsense prevails, modesty fails
Grace and virtue turn into stupidity
While the calendar fades almost all barricades to a pale compromise
Our leaders have feasts on the backsides of beasts
They still think they're the gods of antiquity
If something you missed didn't even exist
It was just an ideal
Is that such a surprise?

Chorus

Half and half

(From volume)

So much happened and I couldn't deny
That I broke your feelings with the way that I lied

So I do understand the reason you became so weak.
Oh baby you're not half the person that you used to be.

Brag your exploits down the telephone
While you scatter her images around our home

And it's strange how where you feel pride I felt only shame.
I guess it's not unusual that I took all the blame.

Did you feel as guilty when you whispered out my name?

They say it takes a while
To really mean goodbye
You say you feel confused
But I'm just feeling used.

A year of misery
Has left its mark on me
I should've left you when
I wanted to but then.

It's never fair
It's never fair
It's never fair
It's never fair

I wish I could remove
The things I put you through
There's nothing I could change
If we began again.

But you don't have to take
Any more
Any more
Any more
Any more

I guess I'm only half the person that you thought I'd be
I'm thinking of the time when you first said that you loved me
I'm feeling like I'm half the person that I ought to be.

Hey hey Helen

(From gala ; written by abba)

So at last you're free
It's the way you wanted it to be
It's the price you paid
To become a woman of today
Is it worth the pain to see the children cry
Does it hurt when they ask for Daddy

Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone

Though you're free at last
And beginning to forget the past
Does it make you sad
When you think about the life you had
But you're right, you had to take a second chance
So you fight to find your freedom

Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey Helen
What's the matter with you
Hey hey Helen
Don't you know what to do
Ahah, yes you do yes you do
Ahah, yes you do yes you do

Hey hey Helen
Now you live on your own
Hey hey Helen
Can you make it alone
Hey hey Helen
What's the matter with you
Hey hey Helen
Don't you know what to do

Mannequin

(From whore, a wire tribute record; written by wire)

You're a waste of space
No natural grace
You're so bloody thin
You don't even begin

To interest me
Not even curiosity
It's not animosity
It's just you don't
Interest me

You're an energy void
A black hole to avoid
No style
No heart
You don't even start

To interest me
Not even curiosity
It's not animosity
It's just you don't
Interest me

Outdoor miner

(Originally by wire; written by lewis/newman)

No blind spots in the leopard's eyes
Could ever hope to jeopardize
The lives of lambs
The shepherd cries

An afterlife for a silverfish
Eternal dust, less ticklish
Than a clean room
A houseguest's wish

(chorus)
He lies on his side
Is he trying to hide
In fact it's the earth
Which he's known since birth

Face worker, a serpentine miner
A roof falls, an underliner
Of leaf structure
The egg timer

White wood

(Desire lines EP)

Just hold my hand and stroke my hair
And ask them not to stand
And stare my mind is scattered everywhere
And all around i see despair my heart was broken long ago
I've come so far and sunk so low the truth's
A man without a soul i find him everywhere i go
All is fair in love they say liars liars i found only misery
Love is cruel i can close my eyes and see something better
Fairy tales and fantasy let me sleep let me dream
Just hold my hand and stroke my hair
And tell me everything's ok
I'm waiting for my millionaire just lie to me
And say he's there
They say the truth is beautiful
Liars liars what do they know of the truth anyway
I can close my eyes and see something better fairy tales
And fantasy that's the world for me

Girl's world

(Desire lines EP)

You can be someone but you can't be me
And I know that somehow i will never be free
Years ago in the darklands i was dressed like a toy
Now this doll has her own hands and she wishes you felt joy
When there might be another it makes you shiver in the cold
That is why i don't bother involving you in my world
Smashing glasses and breaking bases you lied to me
Over and over you never listened to me
There was too much affection you treated me as if i were clay
Home became like a prison in my mind i kept running away

Love at first sight

(Written by stuart moxham / Hypocrite EP)

I was waiting at the station,
When your train came in,
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for,
But you gave me a grin,

Felt my heart in my throat,
Felt my soul going out to you,
Could this be love at first sight?
I just didn't know.

I was waiting at the station,
When your train came in,
Wasn't you I was tiptoeing for,
But you gave me a grin,

Felt my heart in my throat,
Felt my soul going out to you,
Could this be love at first sight?
I just didn't know.

I didn't know,
I didn't know,
I didn't know,
I didn't know.

Don't you feel insecure,
All about your love for me?
There's nothing I adore,
More than a fake ugly day.

Cat's chorus

(Hypocrite EP)

Drinking
Sitting in a corner smiling to the others
Arriving here we are again.
Talking
Telling all out stories laughing at the thins
That we've all been though over all the years
And as the hours pass 'til midnight
We'll sing together in the moonlight
And looking back to when we first met
We seemed so different so many years passed so much time
And we're still here whatever times may come don't ever change
Oh we'll be laughing in the moonlight singing songs 'til midnight bunny,
kate, & emma, maxine and melissa laughing in the moonlight.

Ex

Once upon a time I knew,
How to make you happy or make you blue,
Guess I'll be the same again,
But it's not that easy to just be friends.

Look at where we are today,
With our pointless efforts to lay the blame,
Maybe things can never work,
After so much betrayal and so much hurt.

We're in the same position,
But a million miles apart,
Maybe things will work eventually,
But I just don't know where to start.

When love has gone away,
Something takes its place,
Does it really have to be hate?

So what's it's gonna be?
It's up to you and me,
I just hope it isn't too late.

Things we say to..
.. all the pain,
All it does is get us nowhere,

Yes, maybe in the end,
We can be good friends,
I want to but it isn't easy.

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa.

So, love has been and gone,
How do we go on?
Is there something still worth saving?

Well, what's it gonna be?
We can wait and see,
Tell me do you think we'll make it?

Let's stop the silly games,
Dishing out the blame,
I know that you feel the same way,

This doesn't have to be,
Such a tragedy,
Everything will work out someday.

Well, maybe in the end,
We can just be friends,
I want to but isn't easy,
Yes, maybe in the end,
We will be good friends,
This is how it really should be.

Dear me

(Ladykillers EP)

Look at this page which I wrote yesterday
Just a selfish expression of beer and depression and
My insecurity so much a part of me
Swells up the pages of numerous diaries

Humiliations both real and imagined
All lie on this page and stare back at me mocking me
I run away from them push them away from
Soon and again they return to embarrass me.

........

Lie in my bed and stare up at the ceiling
We live in events of a previous evening
My poor little ego that bruises so easily
Fighting my conscience to justify reasons

Look in your soul tell me what do you see?
Can you honestly say you're completely at ease?
Do you believe that your conscience is clean?
Well I say you're a liar.


Carmen

(Ladykillers EP)

Carmen tells me what she's done,
Says she's having fun,
Wants to be a mum.

...
Sparkles all the while,
Life can be a trial.

Carmen said..
Don't cry now for yesterday,
Baby's gone but she's okay.

Carmen tells me where she's been,
Nightmares that she's seen,
Makes me want to scream.

Clever(?) things that she's been through,
Grey and black and blue,
Life can so cruel.

Sit down here and take a drink,
Tell me about everything,
Andy shrugs and then he winks again.

Chocolate box and photograph,
Life is hard and life is tough,
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again.

It's time we started heading home now,
I've made mistakes along the way,
It makes no sense but I'm okay now,
It's happened again,
I guess I'll live another day.

Sit down here and take a drink,
Tell me about everything,
Andy shrugs and then he winks again.

Chocolate box and photograph,
Life is hard and life is tough,
Carmen smiles and then she laughs again.

Plums and oranges

(Ladykillers EP)

It's a lonely day in this house
We are ?disecure? in this house
I'm so bored and Jaded
I'm so tired of feeling blue
It's a sober day in this house
I can't seem to flow in this house
This is where i'm staying
I just wanna be with you
Please believe me when I say all is right it seems
I've packed them all and thrown them away
You know I need you
from the inside to the outside

Please believe me when I say all is right it seems
It's a different day in this house
Plums and oranges in this house

? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
This is where I'm staying
This is where I want to be
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

I wanna be your girlfriend

(Ladykillers 7")

Sitting here so close together
So far we're just friends, but I'm wond'ring whether

I--am I just imagining
You--do you really have a thing for me
Like I think I see when I see you smile
And your smile's for me
I gotta tell you

CHORUS:
Hey! (hey!) You! (you!)
I wanna be your girlfriend
Trying to say I wanna be your number one
Hey! (hey!) You! (you!)
I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me 'fore I'm done

Late at night when I--when I can't sleep
Picture in my mind I see you and me

I'll tell you what I wanna be
You to say that you're in love with me
You know feels so good in a dream
That I know in life we just got to be
I gotta tell you

Chorus

Gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me
From now on

Chorus

Hey! (hey!) You! (you!)
I wanna be your girlfriend
Hey! (hey!) You! (you!)
I wanna be your girlfriend
Hey! (hey!) You! (you!)
I wanna be your girlfriend
Gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me
Yeah, I'm gonna make you love me before I'm done

Tinkerbell

(Single girl EP)

Everybody knows a woman like me
Gender traitor of the highest degree
I see other women as the competition
I'm always nice to men
And so they're nice to me
But other girls always seem to be bitching about me
I guess they must be jealous
It's not my fault that men just can't resist loving me
Close my eyes and fantasize a world of men and only me
So much fun to be number one what good are sisters to me
I just can't relate to somebody unless i use my sexuality
So i never feel that confident when i talk to girls
Men are so much more approachable clever kind and intellectual
And i never feel uncomfortable in their company
Because i don't want their friendship just their jealousy

Outside world

(Single girl EP)

Lately, I don't feel quite as I should
Lately, I don't feel quite as I could
I've been tired, lonely, sick of all this talk
It's been heading downward since we left New York

Lately, I've been feeling really down
Sorry, but my mind's in London town
Is it me or are these hotels really bad
I want some decent TV not this endless act

Don't worry you're a long long way from home
People speak to me but I feel so alone
Whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa

Don't worry you're a long long way from home
People speak to me but I feel so alone
Can't you understand my body's changing fast
It's not up to me how long I'm going to last
Whoa whoa whoa Whoa whoa whoa

Pudding

(Single girl EP)

Who wants pudding?
And who wants honey?
And who wants bananas and cream?

Who wants processions
With various obsessions?
Which God will remove if you scream.

Nothing much has changed.

My body's a-creakin'
My mind keeps awakin'/a-weaknin',
My feet are all dirty and grey.
I live in my nightgown,
>From sun-up to sundown,
I'm watching my sweet tooth decay.

Nothing much has changed.

Lines, spots,
Join the dots,
Colour in Barbie and Ken,
Scab on your knee,
Biscuits for tea,
I live in my cupboard with friends, Ben(?)

Nothing much has changed.
Nothing much has changed.
Nothing much has changed.

Shut up

(Single girl EP)

I can't seem to find the time to ponder,
I only think when I go for a wander,
Life is too short,
I feel that I'm caught,
I can't go on feeling like this.

Close my mind to boring stuff that you say,
I'm cold and numb to things that you look my way,
It's gone on too long,
I have to be strong,
My interest is gone long ago.

I can't bear it when you start to moan,
'Cos night and day you're always on the phone,
I'm not fucked, my house is not my home,
Why can't you just leave me alone?

Life is too short,
I feel that I'm caught,
I can't go on feeling like this,

I can't bear it when you start to moan,
'Cos night and day you're always on the phone,
I'm not fucked, my house is not my home,
Why can't you just leave me alone?

I'd like to walk around in your mind

(500 EP)

I'd like to walk around in your mind someday,
I'd like to walk all over the things you say to me,
I'd like to run and jump on your solitude,
I'd like to rearrange your attitude to me.

You say you just want peace and you'd never hurt anyone,
You see the end before the beginning is even begun,
I would disturb your easy tranquility,
I'd turn away the sudden possibility of your smile.

I'd sit there humming the sound of the things I like about you,
I'd sing my songs and find out just what they mean to you,
But most of all I'd like you to be unaware,
And I'd just wander away trailing palm leaves behind me,
So you don't even know that I've been there.

Piledriver

(500 EP)

Is this the last time?
I don't know.
Feel so tired,
Patience wearing thin.

What to do?
Waters can run deep,
We used to have a good time,
Don't remember how.

Do you still want me?
Do you still want me?

.. sleep,
You were so much harder when you weren't so cheap.

Oh such a drag,
Oh such a bore,
Can I just be someone?
Can I be ignored?

Its..
you still want me?

Just one date,
Could be so red,
Just one time,
To .. and be straight.

Don't ask me..
....
....
....
Is this the last time?
I don't know.

Is this the last time?
I don't know.
We used to have a good time,
Don't remember how.
