Paradise

I get up in the morning and I stumble out of bed

Light another cigarette shake the cobwebs from my head

Sitting down for coffee with my fag end still in hand

Staring at her kitchen wall I'm making master plans

My life is paradise,

 I've got more bills than I have cash

There's nothing in my will and I'm running out of stash

My life is paradise

Watch the morning programs in a mind reducing haze

Eating bread and honey cant wait for shopping day

Staring out the windows watch the neighbours go to work

Wish I could go with them, but I can't afford a shirt

My Life is paradise

I've got more bills than I have cash

There's nothing in my will and I'm running out of stash

My life is paradise

Iron Duke ( Found the last draft)

Iron Duke   Version 2

Late night phone calls, ‘cos you’re on your own

Televisions on volume turned to low

British politicians tell me how to live my life

And all you want to know is,

 is if I love you

The Iron Duke is feasting in Vienna

He’s trying to take over the world

Black and white movies just aren’t what they seem

And all you want to know is,

 is if I love you

Suicide bombers in Israeli towns

Bombs in cars and jihad’s called

Twenty thousand fleeing a war torn past

And all you want to know is,

All you need to know is,

is if I love you

Bath Time

Its bath night again,

The ritual begins

Screaming kids don’t wanna get in

Patience waning, temper rising

Number one son is always crying

I don’t wanna get in

Its no fun

I don’t wanna get in

I’ll tell my Mum

Wet the hair,

But not the face

Water splashed all over the place

Scream and whinge, same old junk

Sometimes it’s hard not too dunk

I don’t wanna get in

It’s no fun

I don’t wanna get in

I’ll tell my Mum

Kid’s are happy,

Nice and clean

Why as parents are we so mean

Get him out & dry him off

Been too long he starts to cough

I don’t wanna get out

Im Having fun

I don’t wanna get out

I’ll tell my Mum

Photo

I knew it had to happen,

when I left all those years ago

That time would fade your memories,

make it like you didn’t know

the man there in the picture,

taken many years ago

I knew it had to happen,

while the months turned into years

That time would fade your memories

transforming all my fears

into empty, aching, hollowness

that only grows with years

I knew it had to happen,

with every birthday that passed by.

That time would fade your memories,

like every time that I got high.

Thru' the haze, my heart would yearn

While I’m in my bed at night

When you finally get to ask her

She may struggle to reply

Not wanting you to despise

this man  you once called father

How much simpler it would’ve been

 If that knot was made much tighter

I knew it had to happen,

when I left all those years ago

That time would fade your memories,

make it like you didn’t know

the man there in the picture,

taken many years ago

S & M

Beat me clever, beat me stupid

anyway you do it feels like heaven

Slap me silly, slap me quick

C'mon baby lets get sick

Sado-masochism is the way to go

beat me clever c'mon make me blow

Sado-masochism is the way to learn

slap me silly now its your turn

Strap on the harness and the handcuffs too

Bondage is good, is it good for you

Stockmans whip, cat o'nine tails will do

slap me quick take me to the moon

Slap me, beat me, kiss me, kill me

hurt me, heal me, I love your pain

Slap me, beat me, whip me, lick me

hurt me, heal me, your love is pain

Illusion

Illusions are all that they seem

Empty devoid and obscene

Here I am, there you go

There I go, I hear you cry

What's your pain, please explain

Is it anything to do with me

I have your heart and you have mine

Now we're apart, hear you cry

Don't be sad it's not all bad

Is it anything to do with me

I wear your ring, you wear mine

A part of me a part of you

What complaints? please explain

Is it anything to do with me

This love we have it ain't quite sane

Too much hurt and too much pain

Stop it now or start again

Is it anything to do with me

Alice (not really. but the real name didn't work)

Her name was Alice

She was full of malice

But she was mine

Nympho-maniacal bitch

Pschycopathical cleaner

Homicidal lover

When did you discover 

Suicidal mother

Schizophrenic lover

Constipated cow

Her name was Alice

so full of malice

but I loved her 

T.V

Watching the babes on T.V

Plastic as far as you can see

Why can't they see my reality

Watching the babes on T.V

I'm watching the ads on T.V

They boring the shit out of me

Why can't they, just leave me be

Watching the ads on T.V

Watching the news on T.V

Now they're just like you and like me

opinionated all self inflated

Watching the news on T.V

Greek

You call me up

to use me up

You suck me dry 

and I leave high

Every-time same situation

I'm a sucker for your persuasion

You click your fingers, it's alright

One more time just for tonight

It's late at night, kid's are in bed

you turn out the light, get in my head

My mind, soul and body are your's

Like you dine on me, feed from my pores

My hearts ripped out

Can't you hear me shout

Can't give anymore

Can't be your whore

Stoned Part 2

I'm stoned

Yeah I'm stoned

Here I sit all alone at night

Got my drugs, still no-one to call my own

Life goes on still passing me by

But I don't care 'cos now I'm high

I'm stoned

Yeah I'm stoned

Stoned again in the middle of the night

Paranoia, can't turn off my light

I can't feel and dont give a fuck

Yeah Im stoned

Man, so stoned

Too damned stoned

Stoned Part 1

I'm not stoned

I'm not stoned

Sitting here all alone

Got no drugs, no-one to call my own

Life goes on and its passing me by

I'm by myself and I cant get high

I'm not stoned

I'm not stoned

Cold and miserable by myself at night

Got no green to ease my plight

I don't feel

You know I can't feel

The Iron Duke

Late night phone calls because you're on your own

My television's on, volume turned to low

British politicians tell me how to live my life

and all you want to know is

Is if I love you

The Iron Duke is feasting in Vienna

he's trying to take over the world

Black and white movies don't quite make sense

But all you want to know is

Is if I love you

Hulk Hogan's stretched out on a body rack

Beating up the bad guys he's quick to attack

Miss universe commercials help to keep me awake

And all you want to know is

All you need to know is

Is if I love you

Let Me Go

Disappointed, downgraded

I think love is over-rated

Gesticulated, masturbated

I think sex is under-rated

Can't you see you don't need me

too love and hold incarcerated

Let me go, get a hold

You plead and cry, Im going to die

Don't you know it's melodramatic

Throw a plate, go mad berate

Your reactions automatic

Can't you see you don't need me

too love and hold incarcerated

Let me go, get a hold

Restless

I'm restless, so restless

I need to get away from here

I'm restless, so restless

need to spread my wings and leave

I'm restless, so restless

Need to leave this atmosphere

Nothing on TV nothing more to see

need to get away, get away from here

Cooped up, looped out, get me out of here

I'm restless, so restless

I'm feeling kinda queer

Im restless, so restless 

fucked up need a beer

I'm restless, so restless

need to leave this atmosphere

So Long

It's been a while since you've been gone

Can't find anyone to mow my lawn

Your cat's been shaved my rugs been saved

Now you're not here all your friends have been laid

The sink is full and so am I

The fridge is empty and Im still high

Your fish are dead their bodies distended

I'm so glad now that we've ended

Your plants are dead all brown and wilted

My coffee's shit 'cos it's not filtered

It's been a while since you've been gone

I don't care 'cos I'm feeling fine

I get no visitors but that's okay

I don't have an awful lot to say

All your mails gone been forwarded on

Marked "Address unknown I'm glad she's gone"

SBS

Hypnotised by the T.V.

Sad songs on the radio

I need red light soothing

Talking is futile

Discussions can wait 'til tomorrow

We could come to an agreement

you could be my guest in this rotten life

Hey Mr Owl

There's a wide eyed owl in my window

I see him there when I'm all alone

I tell him all about myself

While praying that he'll go

Hey! Mr Owl why aren't you a cow

'cos then I could kill and eat you

I tell him everything, he helps keep me from the brink

Not that there's much he doesn't know

I keep him hidden from my friends

Doesn't matter how this ends

Hey, Mr Owl where you gone to now

I've found a stick and I'm going to beat you.

Weekends

Drug hazed, sex crazed

Cookin' in my microwave

Paranoia does annoy ya'

What the hell ya gonna say

Blue jean, Hygiene

Keep the sucker nice and clean

Insane, blue vein

Shoot it up and feel the shame

Earthquakes, hand shakes

Need a fix my eyeballs ache

Locked door, quick score

Take me away I need some more

My Tummy Speaks Whale

Im laying in my bed listening to the sounds of my tummy

and I dont mind saying that they sound kinda funny

It goes gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle glop pop

gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle glop pop

My belly is pale, I didnt know that it spoke whale

and after my shower I part my snail trail

It goes gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle glop pop

gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle glop pop

I've trained my muscles now its a form of art

but if I push the wrong way it makes me fart

It goes gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle glop pop

gurgle gurgle gurgle gurgle glop pop
