Bang! 04:35
I had a girl once She turned out to be a boy in the end She drove me round the bend with her foolish tricks Well I went insane There was nowhere to turn anymore all the doors had been locked Cos Jim he was killed by the falling bricks I had girl once Then I had her again for a while We dropped our only child in a minefield And oh I can’t bear it to think of the pain When the child exploded When the child exploded! BANG! All of those thieving priests They got me sleeping with an open eye Whatcha gonna rape? What you take from the trip must be restored He won’t die You won’t die Cos everyone wants it! We’re just too afraid of the sound from the nooses that hang Hear the bombs BANG! I’ve had a big sick feeling for it seems like forever That the world’s gone mad And if we can’t all rest together I’ll be gone I think I already am And if you think you are Thank you Descartes There’s not enough people like you anymore Disappeared with a… BANG!

This Jungle 04:38
No rest for me, I’m alone in this jungle, Rainstorm don’t beat my back, Too hard done by When the weather’s calling Whether you’re a storm Who’s the big liar? Tell me his name! Is he to blame for our frowns? H-H-Hide him away somewhere, Deep in the cave Dig him a grave danger, Find him the birth manger No rest for me, I’m alone in this jungle, Rainstorm don’t beat my back, Too hard done by, When the weather’s calling Weather you’re a storm
4.
Tombstone 03:29
Sleep on your own, Then maybe, Sleep on my tombstone, I was tombstoned thinking are we awake? Stay on your own What a way too woo the lonely Only pray by my tombstone Then maybe we’re awake Don’t wake the guards up Stroke the guards down Wake the guards up Don’t hold you cards up Hold your cards down Leave the guards in peace Or the leaves will drown Piece apart the guards And take them up to the town on your own Cos they’re with me, Dumbstruck and they need the company Then maybe sleep on my tombstone I’m a tombstone slipping into the quake

Well I’m feeling the burn Of the week gone before Will you take me to dance? Down by the moor Cos the children are hungry And waiting to die What’s that in the foreground? There’s a worm in my eye…! Too many products and I think we’re gonna sink before we swim And we got bills to pay Bills to pay, bills to pay All the flies and the frogs Make the survival chance slim I will burrow Have you got any medicine?! Cos I’m feeling the burn Do you know how to dance? Well you can always learn can’t you boy Did you eat on the journey? Or can I tempt you for tea? What’s that on the menu? Oh it’s worms! Worms! Tagliatelli! It’s eating away At the funeral bowl Slowly creating a painfully aching worm sized hole There’s nothing to see here! And there’s no one to hear See why no humans surround me There’s a worm in my eye!! Slipping on a lungful of logs And I know we’re gonna sink before we swim And we got bails of hay, bills to pay, bills to pay All the fleas and the lies on the dogs Mean the chances of survival are quite slim I will burrow, I’ll return to the ground

There’s a crow he’s laughing through the mist and the reeds As the grand piano makes the women bleed at the Swamp Bordello, Where the men get mellow There were fights for gambling where the river began, In the cold struck matches for a cold, gold tan At the Drippy Cave Where the men were brave Green leaves on trees And I’m wondering how At the forest highway Where the signs say stay away One sight to see Where the river bends At the sunset view Where the river ends And the dead call You’re the long lost lover that we need to retrieve When we wrote that song about you why did you leave And for where? Cos we’ve looked quite hard For you the wind goes whistling cos the day’ll be dull And I wonder if the thunder cracks are cracking you’re skull Cos we think you’re dead and gone Will you prove us wrong? Slow stale breeze From the rocking chair Blowing prophecies From the prophet there as he carves at the bark with a stare Blind and free! Boarding up his shack Now the town retire from the drunken mire Just a few remain for what the prophet’s saying He says oh!
