Lyrics For "Ticket To The World"
Here she comes and there she goes
Wearing someone
else's clothes
Turning water into
wine
Ridicule into
sublime Oh Yeah!
Been a daughter all her life
Never ever been a
wife
She'll go out in
the pouring rain
Just to drive her
dog insane Oh Yeah!
Well I love the little girl and I love her like a sister
When the sun goes
down she goes off like a twister
She will tear it
all down if she doesn't feel trusted
In her under-age
world I hope she never gets busted
She will share in everything
She'll confess to
all her sins
She's in love with
all God's children
She's got a ticket to the world...
She can light your darkest night
Maybe put your
world to right
She's a different
generation
She's got a ticket to the world...

Lyrics For "Low Life"
Lowlife - it's
real
It's Friday night and you've got no steel
You can cry all you like
But the truth still hurts
and the hurt still bites
And it all comes down to a very low high
No give - no
take
You can't rely on a state
of grace
You can cry all you like
But the pressure's on when the vein gets tight
And it's all because of these cynical times
Lowlife, Lowlife
No aim -no goal
No guiding light that can
take control
You can cry all you like
But you still don't speak
to a world outside
And it's all because of the sun in your eyes
Lowlife, Lowlife
You can have it
all but not
at all fill that hole
You can make this deal go
underground
All the saints are praying hard for your soul
You can buy some wheels and run them down
No aim -no goal
No guiding light that can
take control
And it all comes down to a very low life
Lowlife, Lowlife

Lyrics For "Hypno-Culture"
Face those
facts, you can't relax
You gotta get that train back on its tracks
Till the morning comes
The work is done
Find your place beneath the sun
Rake those leaves as thick as thieves
Then go and put your heart back on its sleeve
Till September rain
And all its pain
Dies in vain
And I know what you're thinking
The world is shrinking your bones

Lyrics For "Bullets For Brains"
Well I saw you weeping
One hand on the
bible
As I sent your
soul to Kingdom Come
Ready to be born
again
Well one man sees
a wasteland
Another man sees a
rainbow
It came to this,
the atheists
Got bullets for
their brains
Like a goodbye kiss
But then I
I'm putting up a peace-sign
Putting up a
peace-sign
Pulling down a
peace sign
Well I believe in angels
They move like a
secret army
And they help me
blow the atheists sky high
I can't sit still for too
long
I'm losing all my patience
I got myself a rocket ship
To make me hip
To take me to the moon
When I lose my grip
I said I
I'm putting up
a peace-sign
Putting up a peace-sign
Pulling down a peace sign
One day, one
day in your life
You will see the light
You will see his face again
One day, one day at a time
Soothes the weary mind
You will feel no pain
Bullets for your brain
(I live a very
modest life - I'm happy with it)
Hey now, read
my lips
Bullets for the brains of
the atheists

Lyrics For "For The Love of
Cain"
If I said I was
Abel
Would you know my name?
I've swung from the trees
in the Garden of Eden
And I have shorn off my mane
I've got no
horns sticking out
I've got no sting in my tail
I've got no sins to pluck
out
Because I do so well
And maybe I can raise the
stakes
For the love of
Cain
For the love of Cain
We'll dissolve our schemes
And indulge our dreams
For the love of Cain
If you look out
your window
With your Sunday smile
If you walk hand in hand through the Valley of
Evil
You walk the miracle mile
I just need
someone to love
Straight from the cradle to the grave
Maybe it's you I'm thinking of
Because I know your game
And maybe I can raise the
stakes
For the love of
Cain
For the love of Cain
We'll dissolve our schemes
And indulge our dreams
For the love of Cain

Love of Cain"

Lyrics For "Under Ether"
Someone said
the world was under ether
Better bet your bottom dollar
Better bet your bottom dollar
That before your eyes we turn to dust
Bodies rearranged
Someone said
the world was all but dried out
Read it on the walls the walls around you
Waiting for the paint to dry
Well you might not have to wait very long
Talk about it, think about it hey!
Ether stole
your thoughts while you were sleeping
Came in through an open window
Looking for an open mind
And it wiped that smile right off your face
Rock 'n Roll Radiate
Talk about it, think about it hey!

Lyrics For "Day By Day..."
Cut out the
crap you know you want to relate
Day by day by day by day by day
Don't want to eat your problems like a piece of
cake
Day by day by day by day by day
Out of the
frying pan in to the fire
I've got a plan that can make your day
Out of the dungeons and down to the wire
You've got to learn how to make love pay
Don't need no
friend to tell
you how to f_ _k your head
Day by day by day by day by day
Taking account of nothing
leaves you in the red
Day by day by day by day by day
Breaking your
bones is a sign ot the times
You've got a soul that has been force-fed
Climbing up walls to the end of the line
These are the tracks that
are in your head
Out of the
frying pan in to the fire
I've got a plan that can make your day
Out of the dungeons and down to the wire
You've got to learn how to make love pay
Day by day by
day by day by day

Day..."

Lyrics For "Dandelion"
Bright light -
over the rainbow
Stay bright - dressed up in day-glo
Laid back - where does the day go?
If I stand tall, can you see my halo?
Princess - came
with a big bang
Intense - under a wigwam
Witness - the birth of a nation
The pigs came round and they saved your bacon
Hey now watch
out kid
She's playing with your mind and there's no
denying
Hey now watch out kid
She's blowing you apart like a dandelion
Whiplash -
killed the cockroach
White trash - give 'em enough rope
White lies - Tower of Babel
The world spins round and
it turns the tables
Timespan -
these are the deadlines
Spaceman - I'm in the headlines
Hot tramp - Marilyn Monroe
Does time stand still when you're stuck in a
wormhole?
Hey now watch
out kid
She's playing with your mind and there's no
denying
Hey now watch out kid
She's blowing you apart like a dandelion
Snakebite -
some kind of voodoo
Midlife - crisis upon you
Uptight - Babylon rages
Do apes cry rape when you
rattle their cages?
Hey now watch
out kid
She's playing with your mind and there's no
denying
Hey now watch out kid
She's blowing you apart like a dandelion

Lyrics For "Hey Andy"
God played dice
and called you home
Just to let you know you're not alone
Hey Andy!
Darkness creeps against your skin
Like the tide rolling in
Hey Andy!
Incomplete if
we ever stop
We're gonna climb the walls and reach the top
More alive than we've ever been
Don't get your fingers caught in my machine
Take your time and take your chance
Don't be fooled by circumstance
Wrap things up in dreams of glory
'Cos when I die you'll be
waiting for me
All your lives
add up to nine
When you made your bed I made mine
Hey Andy!
Seventeen ways to cleanse
your soul
We'll let time take its toll
Hey Andy!
Incomplete if
we ever stop
We're gonna climb the walls and reach the top
More alive than we've ever been
Don't get your fingers caught in my machine
Take your time and take your chance
Don't be fooled by circumstance
Wrap things up in dreams of glory
'Cos when I die you'll be
waiting for me

Andy"

Lyrics For "Kill Love"
Same old song going round and around
It's not where I'm
at, it's just where I have found myself
Still the sounds
keep the wolves from the door
This is my song
Kill love now - don't be pure, don't be kind
Kill love now -
for your own peace of mind
Kill love, kill love
These are the days of futures by design
So does your faith
give you powers of immunity?
I don't care if
you're right or I'm wrong
This is your life
Kill love now - don't be pure, don't be kind
Kill love now -
for your own peace of mind
Kill love, kill love
Kill love, kill
love
Buffalo Standing, buffalo standing...

Love"

Lyrics For "Snowdrop"
The writing on
the wall changes
everyday
Moving the lights about
We live by stealth alone
By simple truths - that's
our philosophy
Oh what a perfect day - stretch it out forever
With flowers
for your grave
A snowdrop for your soul
Down on your knees and pray
May lightning strike your
bones
The devil makes his own pornography
Oh what a cross to bear
Freaking out completely
You locked
yourself away
Now you're dead inside
You dug yourself a grave
Now you're dead inside
The promises you made
Were all dead inside
The calm before
the storm
The bitter taste of mediocrity
Turning you inside out
I'm waiting in the wings
No news of joy - just more hypocrisy
Oh what a strange affair
We belong together
You locked
yourself away
Now you're dead inside
You dug yourself a grave
Now you're dead inside
The promises you made
Were all dead inside
You made your bed
Now lie in it - dead inside
You locked
yourself away
Now you're dead inside
You dug yourself a grave
Now you're dead inside
The promises you made
Were all dead inside
You made your bed
Now lie in it - dead inside

Lyrics For "Maybe Our Days Are
Numbered"
Maybe our days are numbered
Maybe I want you
back
Maybe these words
are empty
Maybe I don't mind
if you see someone else
Ah, are we going against the grain again
Ah, are we growing
up against the grain
You're building those walls around you
I no longer see
the light that shined so bright
You build but you
can't afford to
So I ask if I can
stay with you tonight
Ah, are we going against the grain again
Ah, are we growing
up against the grain

Our Days Are Numbered"
