Slice Compilation 7"

It's My Turn

I'm sorry I can't turn myself on and off like a tap
start acting all humble
now and never know whatcould come back
never known what it's like to be hurt
but still coming round for more
I start believeing the song that God sings
I never thought I ever would
and I wonder how, do I disappear
and let you figure it out so now it's
My Turn
I was warned it would happen
this time has ended with me raining in the rain
or was I over-reacting
I should just forget about you
but I really want to see you again

Just want to give a little attention
it feels so good to see you smile
and I'm not going to change my mind
don't you worry I'll be round for a while
never thought it would be like this
it was never really part of our plan
but here we are just like a crimson couple
with our heads in our hands so now it's
My turn
I was warned it would happen
both times has ended with me raining in the rain
was I getting to o close now
I should just forget about you
but I really want to see you again

Way Out Jim Compilation

Valentine Tour

So you're leaving
hope we get a chance to say see you soon
and by the way it's my birthday today
it was just bad timing
in the middle of a 'Valentine tour

Now you're leaving
grinning 'bout "Ray" and the birthdays in a row
bang, bang, bang
three cloudy nine times and I don't know
it was just bad timing in the middle
of a Valentine tour

So it's your birthday
called me up and cooled it down a bit
spent the last night in the kitchen, suprise
drinking tea and toast
in the middle of a Valentine tour

No I'm not the leader
when I go home it is only just for sleep
there's just too little time
to do everything that we
could have wanted to
if you chartered me
it was just bad timing
in the middle of a Valentine tour.

You Treat Me Like A Kid

I've got this far off feeling
you must have known me as a child
when I'm pretty sure that can't be true
we've known each other only for a while

But it's like you won't admit it
that I'm older now, can take care of myself
I know just what I'm doing
but you treat me like a kid

Back to basics thanks once again
for giving me a second chance
now I'll always remember to hear the click
when I shut the gate

For lying down or falling in the mud
I could settle down but what does that mean
shave every day, subscriptions to every magazine

Not for me to know it wasn't finished
they all drove past and screamed
"You shouldn't have gone"
and it's not for me to save last weeks winner

I'll list them she said as she took her seat
got ready, tid her hair back
threw a smile hit by shrapnel, lots of teeth
yes don't bother coming back round here

Spent and hour looking sour, please disappear

Every Now And Then

You, you, you, you
every now and then,
when I think of you, in the rain
when you’ve only got me to blame
I was trying to run away
when you came around
every now and then.

Each to their own
I’m covered in mud and stone
on a peppled ?? motel phone
calling you, you
‘cause it comes from me to you
every now and then

I sink so low I can’t get up again
I’m diving around the bend
when you came to say that you’re my friend
‘cause it’s you
it comes from me to you
across the universe
then sets you free
and you shake the tree
and a leaf falls down on me
and it feels so true
‘cause it comes from me to you
every now and then
‘cause it feels so true
‘cause it comes from me to you.

Look-A-Like

I want to find my look-a-like
so I can run and hide
I want to find my look-a-like
sneak away and die

Thought I saw him the other day on a bike
singing love songs real loud and high
then he turned the corner
and pedalled out of sight

I am angry and scared, I feel fire
screaming hate me, till noon
and carving deep 'I'm a liar'.

It's Down To You To Make It Up To Me

Don't want your second hand drugs
it won't work out
don't like the way you're lurking around
can't figure your route
it's down to you to make it up to me

And I know I might feel better yet
then I know I will feel better when I'm dead

Can't seem to make you all crime
that room's a line
from steps too steep to sow
go figure your own
it's down to you to fall asleep on me

Way Out Jim

I never went and saw you
just didnt want to
wreck what I'd made you out to be
I didn't want second best

I want you to know
should I stay or do I
really have a hand in my forgetting
which side I ride on

I'm on the way out Jim
and you're on the way in

Should I choose again now
dig deeper in your side
I sit here and you make me break
so sad I cried all night

And now I think that I'm like you
with the same name little sister
did you wish for one last song
something went wrong, went crazy.

Stuck Like Gum

Everything that happens, happens around me
everything I've done has been done to death
and my best has been anything but my best
I left too much too late

Though they didnt mean it
they were letting me get away
without even asking why
they let me in on the ride

Everything that happens, happens around me
everything I've done has been done to death
and my best has been anything but my best
a change has been arranged.

Butterfly Knife

She said "I'm lonely but don't know
how to get away
each time I try to leave I've got nowhere to stay
My brother looks over me
tells me who I should or shouldn't see
he's always hanging the fuck round me
how can I tell him I've got a mind of my own
and sometimes I want to be alone with you"

A year later I hear from her
and she's been locked away
her brother took it too far
so she killed him one day
and she stabbed him with a Butterfly Knife
and left the house and stayed out all night with me

And I wondered why her brother wasn't nearby
and she kept on mumbling something about a knife

Now the guards they look over her
and tell her where she should or shouldn't go
and every day goes by so fucking slow
So how can I tell her "I'm still on my own
and sometimes I want to be alone with you"
the murderer
with you, the murderer.

When Rosemary Smiles

And all the while rosemary smiled
her eyes open wide then her body grew wings
and took off into the sun with invisible ink

She went directly over to the light
pushed it back and screamed for dear life
back in up that's showed the siren people
who will leave first on the train

Sits down amongst the lead and flour tubs
round and round the coil flakes ont o the floor
stucka plays the android as the chorus chants on
it is stark reality taken a little bit too far

So you know Rosemary Vincent too
after the Anniversary Parade
just went yeh-yeh s if they all knew
where she just flew in from

Recalling stories when you shared the same carriage
she said she was a dancer
you could tell from her talk
eyes are open wide so they know her too
long before the quiet town had taken her by storm

And all the while Rosemary smiled
her eyes open wide then her body grew wings
and took off into the sun with invisible ink.

Sleeper

Can't make it up
don't want to lie about it
sink so low, you'll never know
enbedded in bed
the rise and fall of sleeper
forever in bed
the rise and fall of sleeper

Do what you will
make it up overnight
two-thirds of your life
embedded in bed
the rise and fall of sleeper
foreved like lead
the rise and fall of sleeper.

Babe Rainbow

I must have been one
you posed on the beach
couldn't work out which one
my mandarin, just too hot's the skin
called Neon, called the operator
dial again, just got in
the prints I've seen before
but still I wont get bored
when you're around
I feel at home.

Rain 14

You can brush me off
and i won't bother you
i'll just slip into your past
you can brush me off
say you've had enough
and you won't have to see me again

Would you believe that i'm sad now
make 'em believe it's not so
could you still see
it's not right now
walking her home on Bridge Road

You can brush me off

Rain 14, rain 14

Smothered

Well I shouldn’t jump from the start
if I had a reason enough
well I shouldn’t jump from the start,
trust myself with it all.

And I looked up
I was so surprised that
I looked up at all.

should you appear ill at ease
don´t mind me I won´t tell
and if you just take this little pill
it’ll make you feel well.

And you looked up
I was surprised that
you looked up at all.

Smothered stranger
not so strange anymore.

Well, they say you’re only fooling your self
I say I’m easily fooled
because it’s fun, regretible fun
when you want something new.

And I looked up
I was so surprised
that I looked up at all.

It goes down now
that wasn’t hard
soon you ll be good as new
and if I don’t see you again here’s an extra 2.

And you looked up
I was so surprised that
you looked up, at all.

Smothered stranger
not so strange any more
smothered stranger
not so strange any more

The Best Of Friends

I never tire of talking to you
never sick of seeing your face
probably because you told me
you didn't want to see me
when we could have been the best of friends

It's come around again, the summer is here
bringing memories of last year
we'd drive around or sit in your teepee
when we started to be the best of friends

It's so strange we don't even talk now
I start to forget what you look like
probably because you avoid me
pretend I'm not even there
just because we're not the best of friends.

It's My Turn

Kitchen

Thrilled to be in the same post code as you
I'll tell you things I know you'd like to know
treat you to cake every night
suddenly talk and then it'll make you smile
smile at me I'll hold you really tight
I'll follow you into bed

Run around until morning
and we'll stay awake all night
we repeat the same stories
but of course never in front of friends
how it all started in the kitchen

Remember the time when you said
we should wait a while
but let me know if you change your mind
yeh I was sad for some time
but 12 hours watching me at the wheel
made me realise what you really feel
don't have to hurt anymore

Walking you home along Mt. Vernon Street
you'd tell me things that I was shocked to know
pretend it was me every night
so I'm thrilled to be in the same post code as you
I'll come and visit maybe never go
I'll follow you into bed

Charter Me

What´s it supposed to mean
when you´re down ten foot deep
just gotta know
sit down and tell me everything you start to sleep
just lying low
and you´re hesitating, is it now
come to an end when you take a bow
shoot a new bow and arrow in the sky
and hit upon a star
go out and get them, yeh
hit him right between the eye
or is that going too far

but you can find out if you charter me
charter me

year after year after year the light is on
but it´s not plugged in at the wall
and it´s faded by the sun
just gotta know, why
just laying low, high
midnight on Monday
was the time night trauma called
and it´s better than a movie
and it´s right outside the hall
if you can charter me
charter me
charter me

Yes To Nothing

BOB Flexi 7"

Younowknow

Try to guess a little
seems to work out on every man
that all a central Mr ???
??? drive ??

You don’t know a lot about me
you don’t know a lot about me
you don’t know all about me
you don’t know all about me.

Got to keep on asking strange
so you’ll think I’m out of range
think I’ve made ??? up
‘cause last night I told you too much.

You don’t know a lot about me
you don’t know a lot about me
you don’t know all about me
you don’t know all about me.

Didn’t mean that much at the time
means a whole lot to me now
didn’t mean that much at the time
means a whole lot to me now.

Medium Rare CD

Pacman

Remember Pacman I never played it
I was too busy getting stoned and running round
but I do recall shooting down spacies
I never got real good and I didnt care at all
pinball's always been, been my favourite
I like to rock my twenties all afternoon long

Sometimes win but mostly I was average
I didnt care about the score
but I was thrilled by the prospect of an extra ball
remember Pacman well I never played it
I was too busy getting stoned and playing pinball.

Never Get Plugged CD

Ring On Every Finger

You stop me from shaking
and hold me down
and pull at the ring from my finger
I’m not even cold
and you cry a little
she's falling back on somebody’s bed
bouncing right up
you’ve got to laugh now
shake my head from side to side
and it’ll be alright

It’s hard to remember special occassions
but this I know I won’t forget
touching her skin, it's making me tremble
spilling milk out of the dish
bouncing right up
to dry your self down now
you shake your head from side to side
and then she caught his eye

You stop me shaking
and hold me down
and pull at the ring from my finger
I’m not even cold
and you cry a little
she's falling back on somebody’s bed
bouncing right up
you’ve got to laugh now
I shake my head from side to side
and it’ll be alright

You stop me from shaking
and take one of these
there’s a ring on every finger

Forever Snowing Inside

Seems like it’s been raining forever
it’s been dark for a while
just had to know why you go without warning
was it the moon outside?
red like a traffic light.

Hearing me strum on an untuned electric guitar
did you get annoyed?
‘cause I don’t want to sit all alone with the stereo on
without you by my side
red like a traffic light (na na na na)

What made you go?
‘cause now I’m cold.

Forever snowing inside
all day and night
forever snowing inside
and now I wonder why.

What made you go?
‘cause now I’m cold.

I ask me why
after all this time
do you wonder why it’s cold now at night
‘cause you’re forever snowing inside.

Duje Daisy

instrumental

Watch Out Bicycle

I can see the billboard for
forbidden perfume through the trees
across the canal
from the window
there’s a bridge I now my way around
but if I don’t watch out bicycles are gonna run me down.

Now I realise all the way from Amsterdam
I can see the future through the trees
and it’s that tune
and is that not you?

Oh no…

September Compliation

Girls On The Avenue

Girls on the avenue
they’re tryin’ to get you in
strolling by the roads with a smile.

They’re all dressed up to kill
lean on the window sill
looking your way with eyes of fire.

Don’t you flip, don’t you slip
in love with the girls on the avenue.

Friday night, you see the girls on the avenue
like a child, the big star window
you feel confused, so many girls on the avenue.

Girls on the avenue,
know how to get you in
casting signs like tricks from a hand.

All the miss lonely hearts
oh, they look awful hard
sometimes it seems as fragile as glass.

But don’t you flip, don’t you slip
in love with the girls on the avenue.

Mr. Austin

What is it? ba, ba, ba
ba, ba, ba,
it's not at all like it is in the movies
with your popcorn and coke in your lap
just a bit like it is in the movies
if your late you can't catch up on the start.

It's not at all like it is in the movies
you can just sit back and turn out the light
and end up happy together
and watch the credits roll out into the night.

Been searching for a song on the late night radio
Mr Austin ?? never know

It's not at all like it is on the late night TV screen
you know who the killer is
and the sister play the detective
she says a line that you'll never forget

I'm looking for a reason
behind the ??
for the photo i hold in my hand

Been searching for someone to know
shes not gonna just appear on the screen
Chaising secret ?? working out
what do they mean

It's not at all like it is in the movies...

Dead Sad Night

Why, does a beautiful day, like today
give me such a sad feeling
you, leaned forward and whispered
'cause it's nice, it doesn't last forever
but i know it'll be there tomorrow night
when you tell me that i shouldn't stay
it gives you such a sad feeling, then
you change your mind again the second time
will it be like this forvever,
and you make your face to hide that smile.

All the while looks like a dead sad night
and i can't hear anything going wrong
that's when, that's good alright,
and i'll come back to you
don't worry on a dead sad night.

You were pulling tears to make me feel bad
you faked that sad feeling, and then,
came that deal to try and keep us apart
well it didn't last forever,
but i know it'll be there tomorrow night
when you tell me that i shouldn't stay
it gives us such a sad feeling, and then
you change your mind again the 20th time
will it be like this forvever,
but we'll never know just as long as we smile.

All the while looks like a dead sad night...

Rain 14

You can brush me off
and i won't bother you
i'll just slip into your past
you can brush me off
say you've had enough
and you won't have to see me again

Would you believe that i'm sad now
make 'em believe it's not so
could you still see
it's not right now
walking her home on Bridge Road

You can brush me off

Mongoloid

Corey

Corey lets his hair down
says he can't believe
that the last two years
fits neatly in a box
in his back seat.

Had to split this morning
nothing to stay for
and the t-shirts that she loved so much
he left beside the door.

What the hey,
oh won't you give me a break
what the hey, c'mon babe
oh won't you give me a break
oh just a break.

Drop Twenty

Divin, to the deep blue sea
what does she see not me,
not me, i'll swim another
sea so far you won't believe
tide's just above me
temperature's set at 3
you'll never leave

Did jenny ever really go to sleep
that's the question
on everyone's heads this year

And whatever pleases me
will not go down
in history.

Pacman

Autumnal Eyes

Every Now And Again

If it's alright
don't wanna go out tonight
just wanna bring myself into a clearer light
But you think I'm upset now
I just need some time alone
then you'll start resenting me
in the way that I feel down
every now and again.
