Pussycat


Pussycat waits as the [night] splashes down,
Taking her time as she [drives on] the ground,
Oh she is the queen of the non-fucking zone,
She is aware of the [bite] of the ground.

Car Wash


The five star short cut is the way to boost [to start]
Translated just for you we introduce the latest conveyer belt
Best equipment as you can see with promises to delete all work strain no gain fact and vacuum your interior
It's hard luck - no short cuts
It's hard luck - no short cuts
It's just examples you know I'm curious
Can't say no to the good thing then that's just expected
It's hard luck - no short cuts

Donna


It's tragic
Laid down on your side
Too easy
You know that you know
You're soaking wet
You talk too much
It's not necessary
Before the ice melts
I just want to say
This packet's yours
Don't ask for more
Cos somewhere along the line
I've forgotten already

Justine


Sandman comes
Two to one
In the dark
Dark reflections
In my head
In my bed again
Sandman goes
Two in tow
Wet and dumb
Three's the number
Coming down
Coming round again

So full of presents, Now that's a big bag
Father Christmas, He's got a reindeer
With a red nose
He's got a big, big, bag, A big, big, bag

The Other Side


( BBC Radio 1 Evening Session 08/08/96 )

It's been really hard I know
It's been really hard under fire
So take a look at what this world's become
You know I've really got to go right now, oh

You've been polishing that gun too long
It's seen no action since the war begun
So take a look before you join the other side
You know I've really got to go right now

So strung out

You see [that I] don't want to play this game
I need your shoulder to cry on
It's something I can rely on
Don't want to live this way
That's why I'm leaving this for you
To Russia with love

Oh, see you
It's me

We've [been] pushing it, it's like cold war
The walking wounded from the night before
So take a look before you join the other side
You know I've really got to go right now

I'll see you round

You see [that I] don't want to play this game
I need your shoulder to cry on
It's something I can rely on
Don't want to live this way
That's why I'm leaving this for you
To Russia with love

[You] see I'm talking about you
Don't want to fight without you
Don't want to fight about it
I'm just your [LOVER!]

And you say you won't take me back

Operate


I'm really close you see
Feel it breathing
In my living heart
I see you going for a life that's cruising
Waste at smart
I really do
I really want it, but is it here?
I love you anyway true
No flickers
Listen, they'll disappear

Separate the scenes and the hints that make it
Operate in a sane way all start to fall apart
Sitting in day after day is not a good way
After all

And i just want to go home

Dreams are made of this
But they're
Over there
I know you sent me here
To peel away your fear
Operate the groove
I need a reason
For being here
Your crazy ways
Are in my ear

...And i just want to go

Unheard Music


Friends, a warehouse pain
They tack their own car

A thousand kids who buried their parents

There's laughing outside
We're locked out of the public eye

No smooth chords on the car radio
No smooth chords on the car radio

We set the trash on fire
And watch outside the door

The ??? of the paper
And out of the ???

There's laughing outside
We're locked out of the public eye

No smooth chords on the car radio
No harsh chords on the car radio

No smooth chords on the car radio
No ... chords on the car radio
