Lyrics from recent unreleased material
Last night, the king he came to me
Said he's passing by / said he's doing alright.
Tomorrow night, the king he fades away
Never realised, never saw that ..
Had it all but you've thrown it all away [x4]
Last night, the Fates they came to me
Looked into my eyes / saw them change their mind
Tomorrow night, the Fates they wait for me
To see if they were right / never know if ..
With every breath we take
We're starching the sheets in a place below
When this whole generation
Claims the world before they go.
With every move me make
We're oiling the chains on the racks below
Cause we won't live forever
So let's live before we go.
Take a different page out a different book
So you know that love can't be a fluke
Take some time out, touch some sluts up,
We're only happy when we're puking our guts up.
And we won't live forever
But if we're remembered in a place with better weather
Then we might live forever.
We're just like sardines in a can
Always trying to be a man
We won't live forever, so let's enjoy it while we can.
Ooh-ee-ooh (ba ba bah)
Take some time out, touch some sluts up,
We're only happy when we're puking our guts up.
Happens ever day, her words evade your listening
Bad mistakes don't seem like much, they're easily missed
And still did she make a point? You're blissfully unsure
Days like this keep going weird on me
Days like this keep coming round
Days like this keep going weird on me
Days like these
Then she began to cry, the last thing I'd expected
Made me think that this might be a different kind of day
She said: I chose words carefully today.
Then she said she had a bomb - a joke? Don't know, a crazy moment.
Laugh and walk away to a safe distance
Still she made her point, she left her mark on me
Lyrics from the Tigershaped CD
I found her dead upon the floor / Her heart and eyes were missing
The camera cuts away to show / The star and boyfriend kissing
Trapped in an 80's slasherflick / Where the dead are slowly rising
Trapped in an 80's slasherflick / With no fucking chance of surviving
Outside the killer roams around / His victim's getting closer
He throws her down onto the ground / This death is so much grosser
I think I've seen this film before / It's not the girl that I feel for
So yeah the hero's no De Niro / But he's going to die before he scores
Trapped in an 80's slasherflick / Where the dead are slowly rising
Trapped in an 80's slasherflick / Where the plot is not surprising
Trapped in an 80's slasherflick / With no hope of help arriving
Trapped in an 80's slasherflick / With no fucking chance of surviving
I died last night but I woke up, some twisted kind of ending
Couldn't see much change but then my friend, they're too polite
Could spend my whole death dreaming in a land of make-believe
I'll spend my days just dying here with you
I can't feel anything / I could be the ground and slowly drift away
Until I become everything / Cos I can't feel, I can't feel, because I
I am free for my dreams / I can taste the precious dew on everything
But I am cheated again / Cos I can't feel, I can't feel, because I
When I first saw you, I wrote poetry in my head and in my bed
But when I told you, I might've said something untrue, about my song for you
Babe, that weren't no sweet serenade
These weren't romantic notes we played
Yeah babe, I've got to set things straight
I only wrote this song to get laid
You said you loved it, you couldn't hear the words so great but you loved it anyway
I was like okay, they didn't add much add anyway, and we got down to play
When it was over, I asked if you would like to stay .. you said "No way!"
You said "You've got high hopes, I used you .. hope that's all okay"
And you went away
High strung and deadly sweet - my favourite kind of wake up
Moving slow and frozen to the core
It's an escape I seek, some kind of cheaters way
But gives me time to get out through the door
I still dream (but I can't wake up)
This is my happiness, it's tigershaped, it's tigershaped
This is my happiness, it's not awake, it's sleeping
But with you, you bring the light out, move the sun to keep me warm
And I was spilling out my heart, but you heard "la la la la la"
Another morning feat, my willpower slowly fades and falling back is tempting me too far
They might not even miss me, they might be sleeping too cos in my dreams things never go so far
