1. _ Myxomatosis (Judge, Jury & Executioner)
The mongrel cat came home
Holding half a head
Proceeded to show it off
To all his new found friends
He said,
'I been where I liked
I slept with who I liked
she ate me up for breakfast
she screwed me in a vice
And now
I don't know why I feel so tongue tied'
I sat in the cupboard
And wrote it down in neat
They were cheering & waving
cheering & waving
twitching & salivating
like with myxomatosis
But it got edited, fucked up
Strangled, beaten up
Used as a photo in Time magazine
Buried in a burning black hole in Devon
'I don't know why I feel so tongue tied
don't know why I feel so skinned alive'
My thoughts are misguided & a little naive
I twitch & salivate
like with myxomatosis
You should put me in a home or you
should put me down
I got myxomatosis
I got myxomatosis
'Now no one likes a smart arse'
'But we all like stars'
That wasn't my intention
I did it for a reason
He shook hands with the cripples &
He gave them all milk
He did a few card tricks
For his mafia geeks
But now
'I don't know why I feel so
tongue tied'

2. _ Scatterbrain (As Dead as Leaves)
I'm walking out
In a force ten gale
Birds thrown around
Bullets for hail
The roof is pulling off
By its fingernails
Your voice is rapping
On my window sill
Yesterday's headlines
Blown by the wind
Yesterday's people
End up
SCATTERBRAIN
Then any fool can
Easy pick a hole
('I only with I could fall in')
A moving target
In a firing range
Somewhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Somwhere I'm not
Scatterbrain
Lighting fuse
Powercut
SCATTERBRAIN

3. _ Sit Down, Stand Up (Snakes & Ladders)
Sit down.
Stand up.
Walk into
The jaws of hell
Anytime. Anytime.
We can wipe you out
Anytime. Anytime.

4. _ There There (The Boney King of Nowhere)
In pitch dark
I go walking in
Your landscape
Broken branches
Trip me as I speak
Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean its there
Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean it's there
There's always a siren
Singing you to shipwreck
Steer away from these rocks
We'd be a walking disaster
Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean it's there
Just because you feel it
Doesn't mean it's there
There there
Why so green
& lonely?
Heaven sent you to me
We are accidents
Waiting
Waiting to happen
We are accidents
Waiting
Waiting to happen

5. _ Backdrifts (The Honeymoon is Over)
We're rotten fruit
We're damaged goods
What the hell
We got nothing more to lose
One gust & we
Will probably crumble
We're backdrifters.
This far but no further
I'm hanging off a branch
I'm teetering on the brink
Oh Honeysweet
So full of sleep
I'm backsliding.
You fell into our arms
We tried
But there was nothing
We could do
All evidence has been buried.
All tapes have been erased.
But your footprints
Give you away so
You're backtracking.

6. _ 2 + 2 = 5 ( The Lukewarm)
Are you such a dreamer?
To put the world to rights?
I'll stay home forever
Where two & two always makes up five
I'll lay down the tracks
Sandbag & hide
January has April's showers
And two & two makes up five
IT'S THE THE DEVIL'S WAY NOW
THERE IS NO WAY OUT
YOU CAN SCREAM & YOU CAN SHOUT
IT IS TOO LATE NOW
BECAUSE
YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION
I try to sing along
I get it all wrong
Eezeepeezeeeezeepeezee
NOT
I swat em like flies but like flies the
buggers keep coming back
NOT
Maybe not
'All hail to the thief'
'But I'm not!'
'Dont question my authority or put me
in the dock'
Cozimnot!
Go & tell the kind that the sky is
falling in
When it's not
Maybe not.
(ahh diddums.)

7. _ A Wolf At The Door (It Girl. Rag Doll.)
Drag him out the window
Dragging out your dead
Singing I miss you
Snakes & ladders filp the lif out pops
the cracker smacks you in the head knifes
you in the neck kicks you in the teeth steel
toe caps takes all your credit cards step up
get the gunge
Get the eggs get the flan in the face the
flan in the face the flan in the face
Dance you fucker dance you fucker don't
you dare
Don't you dare don't you
Flan in the face
Take it with the love its given take it with
a pinch of salt take it to the the taximan
Let me back let me back I promise to be
good don't look in the mirror at the face
you don't recognize
Help me, call the doctor, put me inside
put me inside put me inside put me inside
put me inside
I keep the wolf from the door but he
calls me up calls me on the phone tells me
all the ways that he's gonna mess me up
Steal all my children if I don't pay the
ransom & I'll never see them again if I
squeal to the cops...
Walking like a giant cranes & with my X
ray eyes I strip you naked in a
Tight little world & are you on the list?
Stepford wives who are we to complain?
Investments & dealers. Investments &
dealers
Cold wives & mistresses
Cold wives & Sunday papers city boys
in First Class don't know we're born just
know
Someone else is gonna come & clean it up
Born & raised for the job
Someone always does I wish you'd get up
go over get up go over & turn this tape off

8. _ Go to Sleep (Little Man being Erased)
Something for the rag & bone man
'Over my dead body'
Something big is gonna happen
'Over my dead body'
Someone's son or someone's daughter
'Over my dead body'
This is how I end up getting sucked in
'Over my dead body'
I'm gonna go to sleep let this wash all over me
We don't wanna wake the monster
'Tiptoe round tie them down'
May pretty horses
Come to you
Are you asleep
I'm gonna go to sleep
Let this wash
All over me

9. _ I Will (No man's Land)
I will
Lay me down
In a bunker
Underground.
I won't let this happen to my children.
Meet the real world coming out of my
shell
With white elephants
Sitting ducks.
I will
Rise up.
Little babies' eyes

10. _ A Punch Up At A Wedding (No no no no no no no no)
I don't know why you bother
Nothing's ever good enough for you
I was there
And it wasn't like that
You came here
Just to start a fight
You had to piss on our parade
You had to shred our big day
You had to ruin it for all concerned
In a drunken punchup at a wedding
Hypocrite opportunist
Don't infect me with your poison
A bully in a china shop
When I turn around
You Stay
Frozen to the spot
The pointless snide remarks
The pot will call the kettle black
It's a drunken punchup at a wedding

11. _ Where I End and You Begin (The Sky is Falling in)
There's a gap in between
There's a gap where we emet
Where I end & you begin
And I'm sorry for us
The dinosaurs roam the earth
The sky turns green
Where I end & you begin
I am up in the clouds
I am up in the clouds
And I can't
& I can't come down
I can watch but
Not take part
Where I end & where you start
Where you you left me alone
You left me alone.
X will mark the place
Like parting the waves
Like a house falling into the sea
I will eat you all alive
And there'll be no more lies

12. _ Sail to the Moon (Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky)
I sucked
The moon
I spoke
Too soon
And how much
did it cost?
I was dropped from
Moonbeams
And sailed
On shooting stars
Maybe you'll
be president
But know
right from wrong
Or in the flood you'll
build an Ark
And sail us to the moon
