Do What I Like To Do 02:13
lyrics
I was born in the summer heat The dairy farm at Ludlow Street Passed the cradle to eleven more Mother was such a filthy whore Torture kittens, that’s what I do My sister’s puppy’s eyelids I sealed with glue I chased the chickens with my daddy’s gun And drowned a pig just to have some fun Most people ‘round here think I’m mad Strangely disturbed or downright bad When you look deep into my eyes You’ll find a web conceived by lies If there’s a cure to make me well I wouldn’t want it, can’t you tell Animals fall like soldiers in war Everyday I fight this goddamn bore I pass the bug of every sling I know what my future will bring I know humans and their secrets too That’s why they allow me to do what I like to do Do what I like to do Do what I like to do Do what I like to do

!JP - One Morning You Will Be Mine 02:13
lyrics
I went down to Arizona And I been there forty days I met someone special out here in the rain Do you remember the day we said: there will come a morning when you will be mine One morning you will be mine I went to Arizona I been there forty days I used to live next to the milkman I used to witness his early morning parades I used to live in Arizona I lived there for forty days And I know one morning you will be mine And I know one morning, and I know one morning, and I know one morning You will be mine

!JP - Old Friend 04:04
lyrics
Hear this from your dear, old friend "Been on a trail of blood" I say "Amen" "Greed is a gift," said the Son of Sam Now hear this prayer from your dear, old friend Hear this from your dear, old friend "Been on a trail of blood" I say: "Amen" "Greed is a gift," said the Son of Sam Now hear this prayer from your dear, old friend "You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun" Feel the waste land of romance Begging you to give this love a chance Been on a trail of blood, I say "Amen" "Did you hear that from your old friend?" "You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun You play with my trigger then you blame my gun My gun My gun My gun My gun My gun My gun My gun"

Gravedancing 03:40
lyrics
Back home they call me crazy Got no feel for my ideas They live a life that's lazy Wrapped in the vale of their fears The true sense of adventure Has none to do with murder Sharp dressed into their thick dreams A close call to all their screams I am gravedancing I am gravedancing I thought they'd like what I do The widows who say "I love you" To the stones on the graveyards I'd be the place where to start A pinch of empty keyhole And Voodoo in the threshold Where there is darkness and blame I give a voice to a name I am gravedancing I am gravedancing I am gravedancing I am gravedancing Perhaps the soul that I bare Could not inhale the thick air Of love and lust on dark nights They give their hope to this Christ No hope could bring them, alive Could feel the need of this jive But it is all in their hands Or will it mess up their plans When Gravedancing When Gravedancing When Gravedancing When Gravedancing Back home they call me crazy Got no feel for my ideas They live a life that's lazy Wrapped in the vale of their fears They even think I'm dirty But I can see their pity I say again and again I give voices to the names

!JP - Cruel 04:16
lyrics
Many days in strange devotion Teenage Angst has served us well Many bloods be soon discovered Conquer past time blasphemies Each desire is not a new one Magazines the left wing wrote Cradle days and bruising patches Not to leave the blame with you Well You're cruel So cruel You're so cruel Feel the mess we shall uncover Pages turning, severed youth Everyone will be the same one Filling cages in your zoo Well You're cruel So cruel You're so cruel Lifting steps to turn the stiff stones Minor bombings clean the wells You're shifting gears to leave me lonely I feel the gripping of the noose Well You're cruel So cruel You're so cruel

Can You Gimme Love 03:22
lyrics
I never cared for your medication High notation, celebration I never cared for your bruised vocation Light detention, federation I never cared for you meditation High voltage brain, defecation I never cared for your silent witness Do not trespass, broken glass But can you gimme love? Can you gimme love? I never cared for your pony action Mustang fraction, lack of reaction I never cared for the dresses you wear The books you sometimes tear, the soul that you bare I never cared for your music-business The greener grass, the fake forgiveness I never cared for your masturbation Passing Zoo Station, fly rotation But can you gimme love? Can you gimme love? I never cared for your medication High notation, celebration I never cared for your passing station Fly rotation, masturbation

!JP - The Amber Inside The Piss 03:09
lyrics
When the bad angel kissed the taste of his sangria lips I saw a dirty couple spread The Amber inside the Piss Stay tuned in for the magazines Style, plastic? Magical dreams? Lap dancing to The Stereo Three? The Amber of a Hungry Scream? He said I was a love machine He could have seen it in his dreams He said I was a love machine He could have quit the winning team He said: "Is that what I taste your juice? The satellite motion of your fluids? Like sponges reaching for the drinks?" Is this really what you think? So when the bad angel kissed the taste of his sangria lips I saw the dirty couple spread The Amber inside the Piss He said I was a love machine He could have seen it in his dreams He said I was a love machine He could have quit the winning team He said I was a love machine He could have seen it in his dreams He said I was a love machine He could have quit

Asbestos Poisoning 03:15
lyrics
As long as I breathe this in The danger crawls right under my skin I didn't ask for this, man I didn't ask for this, man I walk alone the city streets Silence is the only thing I come to meet I didn't ask for this, man I didn't ask for this, man I don't know tides on my shore I don't know my face no more Because all my cells are now in panic All my cells are now in panic I return to the factory Where my name is a number and they don't know me I am insignificant I am insignificant

!JP - 2 Them 02:23
lyrics
I'll try but I am too high Sign and enter my eyesight Bright crossing along the sky I try but still too high Lie in these arms of mine Embrace the silence and I I try but I am too high I'll try but I am too high Sign and enter my eyesight Bright crossing along the sky I try but I'm too high Lie in these arms of mine Embrace the silence and I I try but I am too high I try but I am too high It's driving me mad It's driving me mad It's driving me mad

I will be your calendar boy I will deflower you with my best tool Trust me and go home with me And drown in my desire I'll be your calendar boy I'll be your calendar boy For I am your boy And you get higher And my loins are on fire Just let it be I'll be your calendar boy I'll be your calendar boy I'll bathe you in warm milk I'll stroke with this silk I'll rock you 'till you're open This could drop your ocean I'll be your calendar boy I'll be your calendar boy I'll bring you more than joy I'll bring you more than joy Sting you with perfect devotion Make you drink my love potion I'll be your calendar boy I'll be your calendar boy I'll be your calendar boy I'll be your calendar boy

!JP - Offices 06:30
lyrics
SS police, arrest this one He's talking mathematics and science I think he thinks he's the new Einstein But he sounds more like a broken typewriter SS police, arrest this one Her Hitler hairdo is making me nauseous Her intentions may be virgin like But she took me by surprise overnight Play the record straight We have a shortness of offices SS police, arrest this one Clearing all the icons of our past Listening to music for the masses Peacefully mating to attuned rhythms Take the record straight We have a shortness of offices Play the record straight We have a shortness of offices Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away SS police, arrest this one Trashed my office for the second time They will stop at nothing: it's just business But it kills me to read their Voodoo Economics Play the record straight We have a shortness of offices Play the record straight We have a shortness of offices Play the record straight We have a shortness of offices Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself Before they were towed away, I've arrested myself

lyrics
Come on, just do it For you anything Where'are the others? What others? Why don't we stay here forever? The dress looks even better this way Wanna trade? Come on, just do it For you anything Where'are the others? What others? Why don't we stay here forever? The dress looks even better this way Wanna trade? Come on, just do it For you anything Where'are the others? What others? Why don't we stay here forever? The dress looks even better this way Wanna trade?

!JP - Begbie Doesn't Live Here 03:21
lyrics
Did you finally? Lost yourself? Put all your dreams on the shelf? For all to see? Did you break down for parenthood? Find a place in your neighborhood? Aha Make the scene in your travesty? Found Plato's philosophy? Your life for rent? Did the schoolboy just break your heart? Made the runway in Punk E-charts? Aha The package inside your drag was lit like another fag? So all falls down? Take a zip of your new perfume? Why did it all die so soon? Aha So? Bow your head to his lazy stare? I got barbwire tinted hair Found out today They tried to drown you in the pool at that boring Neo-Hitler school? Aha Did you finally? Lost yourself? Put all your dreams on the shelf? For all to see? Did you break down for parenthood? Find a place in your neighborhood? Aha Aha Aha Aha

Soft 03:27
lyrics
If you drink my drink I'll eat your food If you're still hungry I got some lemon pie Your common endurance will break the wave Your listed emotions are passed on to Dave Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too soft? You find the mind game controlled by a big trick Stalk Vampire Weekend at the Holiday Inn Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too strong? Tell me Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too soft? Did you bring it on too strong? Did you bring it on too soft?

!JP - Oui, Je Sais 04:01
lyrics
Suicide must be lovely when you're seventeen and you have no friends That Joy Division brought me the rope around my neck This should reveal what state I'm in Baby, I got this blues for you You want to try to make me happy Baby, have I got news for you I'll never be happy Your sickness is my health Your brain thinks for me Your heart pumps my blood Your dick is my horney The honeycomb I sucked from your girlfriend The honey that I licked from her cunt You know I'd like to be around you You know I'll be this hard when I wasn't down But, baby, have I got news for you All this blues is cause of you Your cup is running over With bullshit from your mouth You think you'll be this clover When something went down south I have the blues for you In the Big Apple

When Doves Cry 04:54
lyrics
Dig if you will the picture Of you and I engaged in a kiss The sweat of your body covers me Can you my darling Can you picture this? Dream if you can a courtyard An ocean of violets in bloom Animals strike curious poses They feel the heat The heat between me and you How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so cold? So cold Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied She's never satisfied Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry Touch if you will my stomach Feel how it trembles inside You've got the butterflies all tied up Don't make me chase you Even doves have pride How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world so cold? So cold Maybe I'm just too demanding Maybe I'm just like my father too bold Maybe you're just like my mother She's never satisfied She's never satisfied Why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry How can you just leave me standing? Alone in a world that's so freaking cold? And maybe, maybe, maybe, maybe I'm just too demanding And maybe I'm exactely like my father when you feel that I am too bold Maybe you're just like my mother You know she's never, ever, ever satisfied Then tell me, honey, why do we scream at each other This is what it sounds like When doves cry (When Doves Cry lyrics © Universal Music Publishing Group)

!JP - Suitcase 05:18
lyrics
In the company of my moral fibers My razed orifice would swap it Aware? But I'll survive My access was certainly not sheltered Pending a solitary date an illicit came knocking But I'll survive Even narrow eyes could see that soil stuff festers the stuff that destroys But I'll survive But I'll survive But I'll survive But I'll survive Contracted intelligence could stalk it So I expire a minute to acquire it But I'll survive I reserved it in a crate Watched it howling But prepared it to dwell But I'll survive But I'll survive But I'll survive But I'll survive However I never learned how However I never learned how However I never learned how However I'll survive I'll survive I'll survive I'll survive

You Make It Something It's Not 04:47
lyrics
Your latest test, your wrecking ball Your breath ran pest, your missing call You’re doing this, you’re running hot This awful truth, this awful spot My empty grave, my hairy chest The blue eyed stare, my Sunday best The spat out cum, a slipped out note A tiny crust, you rock that boat My blocking hand, this funky smell One hit below, this is your hell My blocking hand, this funky smell One hit below, this is your hell Little white lie, a secret date A bottle of wine, this is what you create What now my love, is this the end What about all the letters that you send A broken vase, a closing door There’s nothing here, still you want more My blocking hand, this funky smell One hit below, this is your hell My blocking hand, this funky smell One hit below, this is your hell With syphilis you run me down I leave the throne, you steal the crown The master bed is empty now And I remember a single vow He was a tourist is our bedroom That would make me your wretched groom You say: fuck me I say: just die I bless you with love you spit in my eye You leave the house, you make me cry Is there only but and no question of why You walk away from every plot You’re shouting now: you make it something it’s not

Fading Picture Of A Wedding Dress 04:15
lyrics
One simple morning turning into a day of magic Freezing frames and unwantedly so tragic A mysterious smile was carving through the looking glass I remember the cool white wine and you dancing on their trash They couldn’t frame you so where are you now They couldn’t tame you so where are you now I said: where are you now for me The fading photo of my lovely wedding dress A two year wedding design: to be a test The restless counter fact still howling at the door The eyes of Laura Mars can see what’s there no more They couldn’t frame you so where are you now They couldn’t tame you so where are you now I said: where are you now for me They couldn’t frame you so where are you now They couldn’t tame you so where are you now I said: where are you now for me

BubbleGum 02:49
lyrics
Did you come here for my crown? The Bubble Gum in your mouth You’re cruising the town When I was going south Did you come here for my crown? The Bubble Gum in your mouth You’re cruising the town While I was heading down south I’m reliving it all again I’m reliving it all again I’m reliving it all again I’m reliving it all again The spells The growth The touch The bruise (The touch, touch, touch, touch) Did you come here for my crown? Can I cum in your mouth? You’re cruising the town When I was going south Did you come here for the crown? Bubble gum in your mouth You’re cruising the town I’m reliving it all again I’m reliving it all again I’m reliving it all again I’m reliving it all again It’s coming now: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 lucky charms

California 04:21
lyrics
Lying on a Californian Beach Completely out of reach Last night you had Judy on the phone But now you found out no one’s at home They’re joyfully playing in the sand You wish they’d crash the plane on land The little minded slender girl Is showing off her latest swirl And no one is there just for you The sun is bright but you’re feeling blue The telephone is off the hook They’re beautiful and you’re afraid to look So you just take another beer You have no friends - no one is here Flipping through a magazine There’s nothing that you haven’t seen Another day, another dime Just praying away this awful time You’ll wake up in L.A. You’ll wake up in L.A. by yourself You’ll wake up in L.A. You’ll wake up in L.A. by yourself There’s nothing there to suit ya But, hey dude, it’s California Where The Terminator reigns supreme And everybody has a dream But everybody just ain’t me So let us get away from here The 101 until we reach the end That’ll be a lovely day spend You’ll wake up in L.A. You’ll wake up in L.A. by yourself You’ll wake up in L.A. You’ll wake up in L.A. by yourself Finally you will take another test Where you’ll be just like all the rest Your rejection will be send in mail By the time you crack another nail Stripping off your hardwood floor And begging God for that little more Fuck it; you will never ever reach That skinny girl with her teeth in bleach

Pain 03:17
lyrics
Tied by the moon Tied by your chain Wishing it was you Who would feel this pain Pain, caused by your love You changed my life You changed the scene You changed everything First the colors and then me Pain, caused by your love For you I’d face the fire For you I’d crawl the flames For you I will deny I ever felt such pain Pain, caused by your love

Poor Edward 05:12
lyrics
Did you hear the news about Edward On the back of his head He had another face Was it a woman's face Or a young girl They said to remove it would kill him So poor Edward was doomed That face could laugh and cry It was his devil twin And at night she spoke to him Of things heard only in hell They were impossible to separate Chained together for life Finally the bell tolled his doom He took a suite of rooms And hung himself and her From the balcony irons Some still believe He was freed from her But I knew her too well I say she drove him to suicide And took poor Edward to hell (Poor Edward lyrics © JALMA MUSIC)

!JP - Life Is Sweet 04:16
lyrics
This one is for the girl who says she’s unlucky in love You deserve to have the world at your feet And if one person, one man could be enough Then I wish it could be me I wish it could be me This one is for the boy whose daddy never had the time for him Wish I could build you a little house for you to hide in And give you back your summers I’d give you back all your summers You still have summers Life is sweet Life is sweet Life is sweet Bittersweet And the days keep rollin’ along This one is for the girl who says those voices in her head Never leave her alone Don’t listen to your teacher, you’re not crazy Just smarter than the rest of them Paint a picture, write a song Tell your story Untill it's gone Life is sweet Life is sweet Life is sweet Bittersweet And the days keep rollin’ along Rollin’ along This one is for the boy who’s not allowed to be part of the gang You don’t need those losers I think you’re beautiful And you meet a girl and you fall in love and it doesn’t work out Well it won’t be the first time and they don’t make a cure for that So you eat your breakfast, read a book Open up your window, be alone Life is sweet Life is sweet Life is sweet Bittersweet And the days keep rollin’ along Rollin’ along (Life Is Sweet © Little Diva Music Corporation)
