Life's A Gas 03:12
lyrics

Hello birds hello flowers hello trees Hello birds hello flowers hello trees Your glowy world is comforting to me Warm and fuzzy, the safest place to be I let my fingers do the walking to my place World of camping pamphlet Lightens up my darkest place Beverley keeps her foot on the gas Loitering with intent near the camping gas Listen to a voice from the past: Lick it up, Beverley, lick it up fast I’ll give it up tomorrow... Hollow birds hollow flowers hollow trees Hollow birds hollow flowers hollow trees Beverley keeps her foot on the gas Beverley keep loitering near the camping gas Blotting out a voice from the past: Lick it up, Beverley, lick it up fast I’ll give it up tomorrow Wait and see...

Splash! 04:25

Glow of the moon glow of the moon glow of the moon I am purchasing seeds by the harvest yellow magic moon Glow of the moon glow of the moon And if you look beneath those wrinkled pages See those seeds arooting as we Splash it on all over... Over the wall over the wall over the wall I am sowing my seed over nextdoor neighbour’s garden wall Over the wall over the wall And if you look beyond your kitchen window See those babies bouncing as we Splash it on all over... Final farewell too soon to tell empty the shell I am harvesting plants from my nextdoor neighbour’s empty shell Final farewell too soon to tell And if you look beyond your empty body See my babies feeding as we Splash it on all over...

Eagleburgers 03:20
lyrics

He wakes with night breath She shakes in her nightdress Nothing her mother might warn her about Could ever prepare her for this Rousing her from bitter sleep He’s off to make his kitchen creep Some folks got to eat meat But we got Eagleburgers Some folks got to eat meat But we got Eagleburgers Eagleburgers all night Eagleburgers char just right She’s braced for the fumble Him smell of the jungle Everything he dreams about Comes out through his face Right now it’s Eagleburgers Right now she dreams murder Some folks got to eat meat But we got Eagleburgers Some folks got to eat meat But we got Eagleburgers Eagleburgers all night Eagleburgers char just right Go down to the front door Sit down on the tiled floor There’s a catalogue in the mail And you’re waiting to inhale Open the page, summon the rage Has something died in your face? Some folks got to eat meat She tries not to kiss him He tries not to listen Right now he’s the Alpha male Closing on his mate From sleep he chuckles And drags his knuckles

Mr Jolliman 05:07
lyrics

Boysown daydreams Saving the world Appealing to heros in their hour of need Through retrospection And sensible clothes The road to redemption is hard on the knees Reach up bend down stretch out... I found my hero He’d cleaned up his life And was somewhat inspired to see me appear In action trousers - yeah I’d carefully chosen Polymide blended time-travel gear Reach up bend down stretch out... So killed my hero And there he was dead Under the sheets at Serenity Knolls So I stole his money - yeah To build a machine For hindsight, wisdom and the good of us all Reach up bend down stretch out...

Freddie 02:08

Nightlife you see when you strip back the bark String’s at the ready, says: This one’s for Freddie Poisonous pimp in the park Valkyrie forms vigilante with horns Greased and about to kick arse Rangers and queens in the park Burning flags morph from rags into riches Brandname bags for labelless bitches Sliding on home with the nark Bird mask, leather and lace Fascination, feather in face Fountain of spray it’s a Man Ray thing In between knitwear and nasty old git wear Rangers and queens on the dancefloor Sibilant sex licks snake-eyes love lies Rangers and queens on the floor Rangers and queens on the floor

Avon Calling 05:06
lyrics

I’m late - as in dead Almost a part of the river bed A thing happened When it happened, I was unprepared Don’t trust beards The men in hats say To soak up your tears one day We could have done it - put a stop to it Signed on the line and copped for it So that Girls get it, boys get it Men with their manly toys get it Why don’t you get it Why won’t you let it On to your doormat Oozing with credit I’m lost - as in found Begging for change On the underground A tin rattled - I felt hassled when I should’ve felt scared Don’t play with tramps You’ll never get away With a beard like that, they say We could have saved you, got a cream If it’s grooming you need We got a dream that Pimps get it, tarts get it Men who’d like to keep smart get it Why don’t you get it Why don’t you get it Brought round by our agents In case you forget it Life gets boring Avon calling..... Not quite drowned, The men in hats sigh, Too dehydrated to lie down and die We’ll always be there for you From this moment on Ensuring for certain when All’s said and done that..... Girls get it, boys get it Men with their manly toys get it Why don’t you get it Why won’t you let it On to your doormat Oozing with credit Pimps get it, tarts get it Men who’d like to keep smart get it Why don’t you get it Why don’t you get it Brought round by our agents In case you forget it

Tick tock a handful of clocks Mama is singing and banging the pots God don’t need to segment time but I do Tick tock dandelion clocks Play in the garden while tea’s keeping hot God don’t keep your food warm boy but I will Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon Don’t cry baby, your mama is waiting at home Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon Don’t cry baby, your mama is always at home Singing Tick tock Tick tock mail-order shops The windows are blind, the doors are all locked God may like being omnipresent but I don’t Tick tock ticking the box Mama chimes in: Well it’s got to be clockwork None of that quartz like standing a corpse on your sideboard Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon Don’t cry baby, your mama is waiting at home Don’t cry baby, your mama is calling you home soon Don’t cry baby, your mama is always at home Singing Tick tock Tick tock electrical shock Mama’s brain cells snap crackle and pop God don’t make his babies cry but he lied Tick tock the clocks have all stopped Mama’s forgotten to wind the things up God don’t need his payback soon but I do Don’t cry baby..... Don’t cry, don’t cry.... Tick tock Jack in the box Mama’s donated her favourite clock God can’t make these things fall down but you can Tick tock mail-order clock All of a sudden Mama looks lost God can kill his only son but I can’t Come back baby..... Don’t cry, don’t die.....

Lady Bountiful posing in knitwear - Catalogue Girl Bandages underneath leopard-skin housecoat - Catalogue Girl Arranged by the window in magic recliner - Longs for her world White silk bandages candy apple curls - Catalogue Girl Lady Bountiful it’s axiomatic - She’s not from round here Lady Glasshalffull ever pragmatic - It’s been a fair year But she misses her family, misses her daddy - In Catalogue World Freeze-framed in laughter forever after - Catalogue World White silk bandages rigor de rigeur - Catalogue World Lady Bountiful caught in no motion - Vacantly smiles At timelessly floating droplets of lotion - Organic and mild The finishing touches nothing corrupts it - Catalogue World As real as the paper she’s printed on makes her - Catalogue Girl White Silk bandages candy apple curls - Catalogue Girl
