i don't know what to do with myself

coz I haven't got a willy

'everyone needs someone to hate'

2006-09-02T16:33:00.000-07:00

Why is there always some fucking bum on the street?
I'm telling you this for your own good
It's because everyone needs someone to hate
It just so happens, it happens to be the blacks
Well everybody has got something to hate
Everyone wants just one thing to hate
Everybody's got one thing to hate

Well you say there ain't no rules on the street boy
But there's one rule I know real well
This just one of them, they undo you
Dig onto the jails yeah, big bang, jot
They kept me with a girl I know
She was stabbed
And now she has no arm
And now she has no heart

'rattlesnake'

2006-09-02T16:31:00.000-07:00

Poetry, like white in the snow
Boys, one of these days
He's going to poison you
Boys, when he grows up
He wants to be a rattlesnake
Rattlesnake in the big city yeah

Out, out of control boys
Climbing out to the story warehouse
He's just building it for his bimbo girlfriend
When he found he sneaking out with his best friend
Rattlesnake in the big city yeah 2x

Chorus:
One of these days he's going to crash
One of these days he's going to be dead boys
Sun out, running out of luck

Wait, wait by the door
There something else
Something napping around here
I don't know and I don't care
But if it comes in the front door
Then I'm scared, yeah
He said don't be scared man
There's nothing hunting you
Here I am, head onto sleep
He's running around like he doesn't want to see me
Rattlesnake 7x

Repeat Chorus 2x

[had] a drum loop that Thom did himself at home on a tape recorder with bad scratching over the top and kind of Prince vocals.

'new generation'

2006-09-02T16:30:00.000-07:00

Check it out....
Here comes the big bad bad wolf
He's gonna huff and puff
And blow you out
Sooner or later your going to kiss
The ground he walks
Open up, and let the good man in
Here comes the bad man
And with the luck of your balls
He might let kids in the door
And the killer comes down the layer
With 16 million craving cats

Chorus:
Welcome the new generation yeah
To call our addiction 2x

Amen thank God for
White mans kill the country
Steal our children I ask myself
I'd like to teach the world
Sing a brand new harmony
Skinny for nothings, spit them out
And burn them with a tree
I want to paint the world with coke
I think I may have to go

Repeat Chorus 2x

Smile for the camera boys and girls

Repeat Chorus 3x

'how can you be sure?'

2006-09-02T16:28:00.000-07:00

Seen all good things and bad
Running down the hill
All so battered and brought to the ground
I am hungry again
I am drunk again
With all the money I owe to my friends

Chorus:
When I'm like this
How can you be smiling, saying
How can you be sure 2x

If you walk out the door
Will I see you again
I've grown hungry again
I had drunk again
All the money I owe to my friends

Repeat Chorus 2x

'burning bush'

2006-09-02T16:27:00.000-07:00

Braid magic up and down America
And on comes a man
With a smile that’s taken years to fix
Spreading pesitilence and disease
Till it’s holding him
And could know no difference

Chorus:
And I want to know
And I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
Is this going to be the one
The one who gets it done
Tell me burning bush
Tell me burning bush
Maybe we should have been the bush

I believe in freedom for the nations
The ones who cannot cope
With a life full of heart attacks in money belts
The Madonnas and Coke A Cola
And corporations who own the very air you breath

Repeat Chorus with following changes:

And I want to know
And I want to know
I want to know
I want to know
Is this going to be the one who dropped the bomb
The one who gets it wrong
Tell me burning bush
Tell me burning bush
Maybe we should have been the bush

'keep strong'

2006-09-02T16:26:00.000-07:00

Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey 4x
Everything that I’m telling
It’s all about your brothers
Everything that would listen
If we had a clue
Well that’s it
I’m stumbling back good
And I need it
If we do it
Then we’re giving into something far too strong
So keep strong
Keep it strong

Chorus:
Going deeper and deeper
Into the pressure
All I found near a mirror of you
And more
All I found near a mirror of you
And more
Keep you strong now

Everyone can’t be a million dead
Everyone could have a big bank
And call it a phone
God’s judged just as easily around his head
God’s justice lives all fat
But he doesn’t know friends at all
Keep it strong
Keep it strong
Hey, Hey, Hey, Hey 5x

You wanna be a rich man
You got to be a bastard
But if you can’t be a bastard
You might as well sit in front of the your TV
Spend the rest of your life
A fucking zombie
Keep it strong 2x

'life with a big f'

2006-09-02T16:25:00.001-07:00

Funny how it soothed me
In someone else’s laundry
When I think it’s wishing wearing men
Beer is cheap and clap free
And you won’t know when you won’t stay
And I’m sorry B cause I’m dead

Chorus:
But everything said
There’s life with a big F
A La la la la la la la la
La la la la la huh

Mister beetle is half awake
But I won’t let them say my name
Yeah I won’t pay them money I owe
Though she don’t play no tricks on me
I’ve got my liberty
I got this uzi and my French

Repeat Chorus

'give it up'

2006-09-02T16:25:00.000-07:00

She said she wanted more of that stuff
The stuff that makes your heart go pitter patter
The stuff that makes everything so blue and green
She said that she murdered a lot like that

Chorus:
Give it up
Give it up up up
Give it up, yeah
Up up up up up up up

She said the world ain’t the gas it used to be
Too many people starving their body
Too many salesmen, too many factories
But she likes getting high cause it’s free

Repeat Chorus

'upside down'

2006-09-02T16:24:00.000-07:00

Lie for the Jews
And I’m more like them
But I don’t give a damn about that
Cause being with you
Is like being too drunk
Being a little ill fallen down flat

Chorus:
Lopside down
Upside down
With you I am drunk again
Waiting for a word from you
I knock me down with spinning around
Like you hang through complete

Lap pretty red from the end of the rope
But I don’t give a damn about that
I wanted your mind ever since you looked at me
Since you really like music like that

Repeat Chorus

Can’t stop loving you

Repeat Chorus

'the greatest shindig'

2006-09-02T16:22:00.000-07:00

Here it comes, here it comes
I can see the head news exploding
Exploding page flew, pulling up the big black sleet
Here it comes…

Chorus:
We invite you, we invite you
We invite to the greatest shindig
I could ever run
We invite you, we invite you
We invite to the greatest shindig
I could ever run

Inside it’s swimsuit
Well I’m a vegan
Free to dance for you
Almost crowds you
??? ???
??? ???
??? ???
??? ???

Repeat Chorus

In the morning
More inviting
Cause it’s going too late now
There’s much to wave at
See outside your earthquake
I’m sick of breathing
And make them happy to be alive

Repeat Chorus

'what's that you say?'

2006-09-02T16:19:00.000-07:00

Blood on the corner
Pictures fall
Vacancy knows me
Big red tongue
I am remorseful
Over the sky
Spinning around us
Geese have sun

Chorus:
Hey what is that you say
Why don’t you talk to me
Hey what is that you say
I can move these fingers around my neck

I see the classroom’s dead now
Ain’t now a fantasy
Sheets are still wet
Linens too red
I seen a fire burn around them
Leaning in the air I see
Love begot my atmosphere

Repeat Chorus

There’s something I got
I don’t know what to do with it
There’s something lovely that gaze
Everything

Repeat Chorus 3x

'mr. b'

2006-09-02T16:15:00.000-07:00

Millions of people
Staring like ghosts
Waiting for the entrance sign
Is it heaven or hell or whatever they call
The place of oblivion after the bomb drops
Death wears a big hat
And a thin red tie
And dances in front of all the cameras
Death has a satchel his buddies carry
And hidden inside is the key to the world

Chorus:
Here comes Mr. B, B to the night
Here comes Mr. B, B to the night

Somewhere in Palestine
A crazy ugly man
Wants to rule the world
So he buys himself a atom bomb
And he drops it on your head
You’ll know what he wants
Cause he won’t have a face to hold onto
To hold onto yeah

Repeat Chorus 2x

Dialogue:
I don’t want to hear about this
I don’t want to know about your commissions
There’s nothing in this life that means as much as you and me
Life is so important
But all you talk about is bombs
Falling down the bloody drain that we don’t know about

Repeat Chorus

I don’t wanna die 4x

'somebody'

2006-09-02T16:14:00.000-07:00

I made one true day
I may buy you all the things you need
And sleep with you and call you names
But deep down inside
Grab a apple on a naked tree
And nothing will ever change

Chorus:
Cause there’s somebody else
Though I don’t know who the hell she is
And maybe I love her
But I’m back in my head
I’m somebody else’s buddy prick
Won’t somebody just might compromise who I am

There’s somebody there
They were knocking on my found head
And talking from inside my brain
They’re guiding my thoughts
They’re watching me play with you
And they’ll never go away

Repeat Chorus
Repeat last stanza

'climbing up a great bloody hill'

2006-09-02T16:02:00.000-07:00

Shoot it down…oh yeah
He’s got a little something
Start hanging for the wall
Dreaming about a something
He’s nothing at all
We’ll put him on the TV
And make him glossy videos
You can smile for the goodies
Appear on breakfast shows
Alright boys, come on boys, alright boys

Chorus:
Hey, whoa, I’m climbing up a great bloody hill
Hey, whoa, I’m climbing up, I’m climbing up, I’m climbing up
Everything is grooving, but everything ain’t good
Know why I’m lying, so why am I so misunderstood

He’s got a little something
Sings to radio man
Yes he’s got a little something
Sings to the juicy man
Mmm, do you wanna buy a book
If we scream at the girls
You haven’t got a clue
What it means, to be living in a horrible evil little world
Come boys yeah

Repeat Chorus 2x

'sinking ship'

2006-09-02T16:01:00.000-07:00

Hard to port
I can feel the boat
It's harboring unto her brown
Sinking ship, man the lifeboats
Hold your nose, watch me drown

CHORUS:
I'm the captain of the boat
Though I don't like being slaughtered
I'm the captain of the boat
I don't like this way I'm slaughtered
Hey I'm sinking now
On the sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have
Hey I'm sinking now
On the sinking ship
And this stinking bloody job is all I have

Don't waste your days
Pretending that your still afloat
Time comes, you will see
That all this drowning is your own

REPEAT CHORUS
REPEAT LAST STANZA
REPEAT CHOURS

I'm sinking man 4x
Let's get out act together
And get this boat off the sand

'to be a brilliant light'

2006-09-02T15:55:00.000-07:00

Getting sort of worried
Like the time of life I reached
I'm getting pretty old
I should be reaching my peak
But I haven't made the stairs yet
But you know what mean girls say
If you haven't got it when your thirty
That's the way you stay
I can wash and clean the bedrooms
I can make some egg and toast
If you let me stay the night
Then I'll let you get some rest
We could talk awhile on the futon
That's the way you want it
Tell me, where you want me
Tell me where to sit

CHORUS:
Where to start to build a clock
Yeah I depended on you
Yeah I depended on you
To be a brilliant light yeah
To be a brilliant light
To be a brilliant light yeah
To be a brilliant light

Bring me in the church
On the corner of the street
I'll be praying for forgiveness
I'll be praying for some love
Because I haven't got a job
And my heart's been closed
You could start with the trousers
Cause it's what's stopping the blood flow

REPEAT CHORUS 2x

happy song

2006-09-02T15:53:00.000-07:00

i've heard alot about you
well, hello
let me shake you by the hand
just wanna say thank you
at least someone has got this thing sorted out now
at least someone has got the right idea

CHORUS:
if my head is clear
i can see through all the dirt now
if my eyes are clear
i can put my cigarette out right now
alright (come on and talk about it)
happy song (this is a happy song)
alright (come on and talk about it)
happy song (this is a happy song)

tell me what I'm doing when I'm burning your house down
tell me what I'm doing when I let go of your plans
someone's got to know what the hell is going on
someone's got to know that you fucked it all of this

REPEAT CHORUS 3x
