Six Mile Water
Me and you used to be like brothers
On the nights we got drunk to each other
You know me, I used to have some wit
It ended up in a shit filled sandpit
We come from across the border
We drink the Six Mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home
That time when things got better
We’d take trips across the wire
Like the night we took the mad acid
Swore we saw the city hall on fire
We come from across the border
We drink the Six Mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
But I’m not ready for home
Bukowski day, I’m gonna miss it
We’d get together each month for a day
All the memories I have are decked out
In presbyterian grey
We come from across the border
We drank the Six Mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
But I’m not ready for home
-Guitar solo-
Now me and you don’t talk of one another
It never really started out that way
I always meant to write you a letter
I always meant to call you some say
We come from across the water
We drank the Six Mile water
This mongrel needs a new home
This mongrel needs a new home
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
But I’m not ready for home
I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry
Little Tongues First
This is my vision and this is my way
And I won’t back down
This is my land and this is my way
And I won’t back down
It’s already here, it’s finally come for me sweetness
Today of all days
But that was my past and I won’t look back
But I won’t back down
Shame on yo’ all, shake it to the world, shame on yo’ all, shook this world
Shame on yo’ all, shake it to the world, shame on yo’ all, yeah
Suicide pact, suicide pact, suicide pact, you first
Suicide pact, suicide pact, suicide pact, you first
And it’s not the end yet
Don’t send me flowers
Coz I’m not dead yet
I’m not suicidal, I’m just bored
And don’t pull the trigger
Coz I’m just a singer
Tonight baby, I’m the governess jester
A fake smile and a phoney gesture
Shame on yo’ all, shake it to the world, shame on yo’ all, shook this world
Shame on yo’ all, shake it to the world, shame on yo’ all, yeah
Suicide pact, suicide pact, suicide pact, you first
Suicide pact, suicide pact, suicide pact, you first
Suicide pact, suicide pact, suicide pact, you first
Suicide pact, suicide pact, suicide pact, you first
Ten Year Plan
Well, trust little you to take it to the level You want but don’t understand
Back up the truck Joe, wheel out those excuses
You don’t wanna dirty your hands
Napoleon complex, lower than low
High enough to think you can try
Over the side, the ship goes down
I’m still around to testify
So bring on the Sturm and Drang
I just wanna get drunk and headbang
So much for the ten year plan
You’re just another company man
Well I must admit, some mornings when it hits
I don’t wanna do it my way
I see you and your worthless crew
Fighting to get on the runway
Dizzy, dizzy heights, terrifying lows
Don’t look around just climb
I’ll see you later when you come back to me
Coz everybody gets a little Judas sometimes
So here is the Sturm and Drang
I just wanna get drunk and headbang
So much for the ten year plan
You’re just another company man
- Cello solo -
Well, trust little you to take it to a level
You want but don’t understand
Back up the truck Joe, wheel out those excuses
You don’t wanna dirty your hands
Cause you can’t so bring on the Sturm and Drang
I just wanna get drunk and headbang
So much for the ten year plan
So much for the ten year plan
So much for the ten year plan
You’re just another company man
You’re just another company man
You’re just another company man, man, man, man, man
God Kicks
Naked as I am I’m happy sad bulk of a man
And I can show you everything
But I’m just doing the best that I can
And there are no escapes
Come join me in my world
And the exits are blocked off
My girl
You were very young when the law came to take you away
You had that stuff in your hair
Get you in troubles some day
There’s no let up or no respite
No answers in anyway
God bless you
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
And keeps his shoes clean
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
God kicks with both feet
And keeps his shoes clean
Other People’s Misery
Right, Ou-h yea-ah!
I had a love of life
I had a stable mind
There’s something wrong with me
One fix a quick release
For you, for you, for you
Other people’s misery
I had some confidence
I had some kind of grace
But it’s cought up with me
One fix a quick release
For you, for you, for you
Other people’s misery
- Guitar solo -
I had a love of life
I had a stable mind
I had a love of life
I had a stable mind
I had a love of life
I had a stable mind
For you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you, for you
Other people’s misery
Other people’s misery
Sister
Hey sister, what am I in for?
What is this place?
Who are these people?
Miles of wires
Fluorescent light
Crimson faces
Familiar hated
Miles of wires
Fluorescent light
Crimson faces
Kruckle necklace
Sister I’m lost and I’m taking you with me
Whenever I go, yeah I’m taking you with me
Coz sister I’m lost
And it’s raining like I’ve never seen
Thick red hot in pregnant drops
I scratch my skin
I can’t sleep
I’m barely awake
I’m suffocating
In open space
I can’t sleep
I’m barely awake
I’m suffocating
I’m suffocating
Sister I’m lost and I’m taking you with me
Whenever I go, yeah I’m taking you with me
Coz sister I’m lost
Sister I’m lost
Sister I’m lost
Sister I’m lost
And I can’t sit still, I can’t relax
It’s like trying to find my way out of someone else’s nightmare
Working for the same old people
Waiting for the same old man
Working for the same old people
Waiting for the same old man
Sister I’m lost and I’m bringing you with me
Whenever I go, yeah I’m bringing you with me
Coz sister I’m lost and I’m taking you with me
Whenever I go, yeah I’m taking you with me
Coz sister I’m lost
Sister I’m lost
Sister I’m lost
Sister I’m lost
Sister I’m lost
I’m lost afternoons
