||||| I Want to Be Old |||||

i want to be old
and creek by the fire
i want to smell of rotting wood
it's all i desire
i want my joints to seize up
i want my legs to ache
i want my eyesight to fail
i want my skin to flake
to be old
i want to be old
i want false teeth
and not be able to chew
i want to be senile
a centigenarian fool
i want lots of wrinkles
want my hearing to go
i want to be ignored
and I want to be slow
to be old
i want to be old

||||| I'm a Cult Hero |||||

i'm a cult hero
a dream come true
you want to touch me
but you can't get through
i walk on water and i don't get wet
i've got something you won't forget
i'm a cult hero - payed my dues
i'm a cult hero - got nothing to lose
i'm a cult hero

i'm a cult hero
i'm ahead of my time
you'll never rule me
because i'm all mine
bounce off of me
because i'm so strong
my time is coming and it won't be long

save us!

||||| I'm Cold |||||

you're begging me to stay
but i'm laughing in your face
you're so desperate
not to let those years of care
all go to waste
but it was you who wanted love
not romance
you have to pay the price
my body may be made of fire
but my soul is made of ice

i'm me
i'm cold
i'm cold
i'm told
i'd love to love you girl
but my body has just been sold

||||| Icing Sugar |||||

you're delicious
dreaming
slack jawed
green eyed
rub my nose in
icing sugar
smooth as
when this cold and deadly
blade
kisses the fruit
so soft and gently breathing
under your skin

oh i'll empty you
i'll empty you
as empty as a boy can be
as empty
as a boy can be

||||| If Only Tonight We Could Sleep |||||

if only tonight we could sleep
in a bed made of flowers
if only tonight we could fall
in a deathless spell
if only tonight we could slide
into deep black water
and breathe
and breathe...

then an angel would come
with burning eyes like stars
and bury us deep
in his velvet arms

and the rain would cry
as our faces slipped away
and the rain would cry
don't let it end...

||||| In Your House |||||

i play at night in your house
i live another life
pretending to swim
in your house

i change the time in your house
the hours i take
go so slow...

i hear no sound in your house
silence
in the empty rooms

i drown at night in your house
pretending to swim...

||||| Inbetween Days |||||

yesterday i got so old
i felt like i could die
yesterday i got so old
it made me want to cry

go on go on
just walk away
go on go on
your choice is made
go on go on
and disappear
go on go on
away from here

and i know i was wrong
when i said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her inbetween
without you
without you

yesterday i got so scared
i shivered like a child
yesterday away from you
it froze me deep inside

come back come back
don't walk away
come back come back
come back today
come back come back
why can't you see?
come back come back
come back to me

and i know i was wrong
when i said it was true
that it couldn't be me and be her inbetween
without you
without you

||||| It Used to Be Me |||||

all he needs is everyone i've been
and all she needs is everywhere i've seen
all they need
anything i've touched
and all you need is everything i've loved
everything i've heard everything i've learned
everything i've tried everything i've held
everything i've felt everything i've lost
everything i've cried
until my whole head shrieks with grinding my teeth
struggling to find a single word i can keep
any kind of truth
any kind of hope
oh just any kind of word that doesn't make me choke

but i keep saying i will and i won't
i keep saying i do and i don't
i keep saying i feel
but there is nothing to feel
just a strange kind of nothing
where it used to be me...
it used to be me

all he needs from me is everyone i've ever missed
and all she needs from me
everyone i've ever kissed
all they need from me
anything i've ever sung
yeah and all you need from me is everything
i've ever said
everything i've ever done
everything i've ever made
everything i've ever prayed
everything i've ever believed
everything i've ever touched
everything i've ever loved
everything i've ever thought
everything i've ever dreamed
until my whole head screams with grinding my teeth
desperate to find a single word i can keep
any kind of faith
any kind of fix
oh just any kind of word that doesn't make me sick

and i keep saying i will but i won't
i keep saying i do but i don't
and i keep saying i feel
but there is nothing to feel
just this strange kind of nothing
where it used to be me...

anything and everything
all that you need
get it for free
anything and everything
all that you need
get it from me

get it from me
get it from me
get it from me

||||| It's Not You |||||

you wear your smile
like it was going out of fashion
dress to inflame
but douse any ideas of passion
you carry your love in a trinket
hanging round your throat
always inviting
always exciting
but i must not take off my coat

well i'm tired of hanging around
i want someone new
i'm not sure who i've got in mind
but i know
it's not you

you ask me questions
that i never wanted to hear
i am the only one
just until you finish this year
i would murder you
if i had an alibi
here in my hand
but you just laugh
beause you don't understand

that i'm tired of hanging around
i want somebody new
i'm not sure
who i've got in mind
but i know that it's not you
it's not you
it's not you
it's not you
