Succubus
You're out there in the real world, At a party, feeling fine I'm strung out in the parallel With only one thing on my mind Can you feel my hunger? 'Cause I can almost taste your brine, It calls me into the physical But I've got to bide my time But now's not the time to claim you, I'll wait 'til you're asleep, The siren of your breathing calls me to my feast, So dance with who you like now, I'll wait without a fuss Just save the last dance of the night For your Succubus.... ...And with a lick of the lips I am with you, Shadow hands across your skin, Setting your body twitching To the tune your Succubus sings, I'll sing of the line between laughter and screaming, Infect your dreams with my lust 'Til you wake in a sweat from the heat of your dreaming Of the fire of your Succubus Blink Before you could blink you got out of sync Got on the wrong train you forfeit the game She's coming to call She's talking through walls Begs you come home Leave the bad lads alone But the traffic's too loud She gets lost in the crowd Loses her grip And the world starts to slip... Coming Tide Here I stand, on the sand With a shovel and a bucket in my hands Do I dig or do I build? It doesn't matter to the rest of the world Chorus: Don't shield your eyes From the coming tide You're gonna have to swim Cos you won't be able to hide Maybe I'll dig a square hole Make myself some place to go Maybe I'll build a castle tall And hide behind a crumbling wall Chorus Perhaps I'll throw my bucket away Just enjoy the water today Leave my mark on borrowed time Sit on a rock and make up a rhyme Chorus x2 |
Hen Wrach
I am she... By lichen covered willow tree Waiting, like sundew Craving you I am here... Cottongrass nods its deference Skylark rises her futile defence I am strong... Corven hair so black it blinds A gaze to freeze the fiercest mind (And she waits Until the time That you're alone And you're alone now...) Fi yw hon, ie fi yw hon Wedi seibian, parod i godi Eisteddaf yma Wrth aros fyng hyfle Fi yw hon, fi yw hon.... (translation of the last verse: "I am she Rested now and ready to rise I'll sit here and bide my time I am she, I am she") Jezebel Some of the ladies ain't quite what they seem Like Daphne Mezereum, and little Jasmine They'll pull you in with a pretty face But it's a honey trap with a bitter taste They've got a kiss like Belladonna Lost within..... Oh delirium, overriding all of my reasoning Like the potent taste of heady seasoning Adrift within... Chase the taste, that seductive, dangerous place... She'll tempt you to fall from safety to sin Trap you in her arms, and then she'll begin To blacken your tongue And blister your skin You can love her from a distance Don't be drawn in Seduced by sly deceiving Succumb to this desire It's like treason This delirium, it robs me of my reason It robs me of my reason.... |
Waltz and All
It's an unpredictable, messy affair It dangles, entangles and gets in your hair Butterfly twitches set off a cascade From every decision you've ever made It's always a long road when you walk in the rain 'Til you're back in the sunshine and dancing again It's an unpredictable messy affair, It dangles, entangles and gets in your hair The ride takes you up, and the ride takes you down One moment you're on top of the world And the next you're skimming the ground With white knuckled screamers And loops that never, never end The old adrenaline spikes once more And you realise you've gone round the bend It's an unpredictable, messy affair It dangles, entangles and gets in your hair This is the ways that everyone falls Head over heels down this old rabbit hole And you never can tell as you plunge in the gloom Which way to twist as the ground starts to loom It's an unpredictable, messy affair, It dangles, entangles and gets in your hair Once you've committed to climbing on board You're here for the whole of the ride From the edge of your seat, to the skin of your teeth You remember you're alive It twists and it branches And it never, never turns around And the only way you're going to brake, my friend Is when you finally hit the ground... ...Well well folks, don't get too distressed 'Cause Lady Luck, she might shine on you yet For the reasonable price of one breath at a time You'll get the chance to invest in your desires Form a disorderly queue, it's one hell of a ride And by the time you toddle off, my friend You may have only just arrived It's an unpredictable messy affair It dangles, entangles and gets in your hair Butterfly twitches set off a cascade From every decision you've ever made Tufty Gusset
This is a story, as I understood Of the cheekiest squirrel who lived in the wood The name she was given was Fluffy O' Russet, But she came to be known as Miss Tufty Gusset By a quirk of nature, she had a pink brush It made the girls giggle, and all the bucks blush When bullies declared her a freak with no friends She'd turn and she'd smile and slowly she'd bend With tail held high, right up in their face Gently she'd swish it with elegant grace ..and she said: ”I can see how the bucks all look at me, when I'm gathering nuts from the top of the tree so kiss my furry asset! I'm getting out of this dump And you'll see some day I can make my own way with this fantastic rump!” It just so happened, one fine summer's day A group of performers came passing their way Little Fluffy, her heart gave a leap, When she saw the performers were far from discreet With tails held high, they'd twist and they'd twirl They'd shimmy their stuff just to make whiskers curl Fluffy was a'buzzing, with a twitch in her brush And a little voice inside her was giving her a push.. Shake shake shake your brush Tufty Shimmy shimmy shimmy your tush Tufty Shake shake shake your brush Tufty Shimmy shimmy shimmy your tush Tufty.. Fluffy jumped up, with a squeal of delight She stole the show for the rest of the night The audience loved her, they were entranced by the sauciest squirrel with the cheekiest dance She curled her rosy tail this way and there So coy, yet suggestive of how she might dare Go that bit further, go out on a limb She was was a beady eyed, pink tailed burlesque queen Shake shake shake your brush Tufty Shimmy shimmy shimmy your tush Tufty Shake shake shake your brush Tufty Shimmy shimmy shimmy your tush Tufty.. And in the morning of the very next day She followed the minstrels as they went on their way From that day to now, many a young buck Raise a toast to miss Tufty, as they polish their nuts |
Dance
We reach inside Where the beauty resides, On the head of a pin, The dance begins..... Feel the sunlight on your face Hold the spark within your space and dance Bodies throb a steady beat A timeless rhythm, feel the heat And dance We reach inside etc.... A shared delight simply expressed Fan the flame with every step and dance And if by chance your legs don't move Just find another way to groove And dance We reach inside etc.... Smalltalk (Chorus) Stick the smalltalk together Make it say something grand Will enough make a flavour? Is it inherently bland? If our mouths only opened With something worthwhile to say Then I guess we'd be silent For the best part of the day I was sitting on a train, just minding my own When I can't help but listen to this girl on the phone Calling up her friends, just killing time And I'm fighting back the urge to sing her this rhyme: Chit-chat, gabble, yack Tittle-tattle, chew the fat x2 (Chorus) Prattling, rattling, chittering, chat If you don't need to say it keep it under you're hat What come's out our mouths is often inane But I know you've got some treasure up there in your brain Gossiping, rabbiting, wagging your chin Everybody's talking but NO-ONE'S LISTENING! Have a little chat with yourself and find out All the things you feel you have to talk about (Chorus) Ghost A ghost in the machine Mostly asleep Drifting offline Just out of reach Then in some subtle way A shimmer, a static haze A moment set in ether Catches the corner of my eye A face, a space, that smile Your bubble's already burst But you're hanging around In my heart and on my screen Accidentally found It's painful sweet to hear you speaking As your shade flickers through And I crave an impossible meeting Just one minute with you A face, a space, that smile Hello friend It's so good to see your face Bittersweet and unexpected Rewind and find a sunny day A face, a space, that smile |
