I can't help it if I'm like that
Give me the keys to the marquee
Got a funny feeling going down the stairs
Get into your underwear, where are we?

Give, give, give, give
No garlic
Give, give, give, give
Receiving

Eat me, eat me, I dare you
I'll put you through my fingers
Crush that worry right off your face
Be careful where the wind is
Tie me up a nice big hot cross bun,
For they rest nicely in the sun

Spread, spread, spread, spread
It out
Spread, spread, spread, spread
No doubt

Give, give, give, give
Give, give, give it out
Give, give, give, give
Give, give, give, shout out

In, in, in, in, 
In, in, in, in, in out
Stroke, stroke, stroke, stroke,
Stroke, stroke, in, in out.


Give

The 21st century equivalent of burning your love letters - deleting your message history.

3 dots, delete chat.
Why so hard to do that?
Holding on to what we had
Makes me feel whole,
Otherwise I'm empty.

Scroll up to the start
When we weren't apart
And I had your heart - 
So excited and alive.

Words you wrote for me,
How can I delete
When they make me feel complete?
Move on?
Yeah right.
Don't you know me?

3 dots, back up to drive
So somewhere it's alive
For me in the night
To make it all alright
Through pain - 

It's a feeling all the same.

Screamin' Jay Hawkins meets Beyonce

I'm crazy. I'm crazy.
I'm crazy. I'm crazy.
I'm crazy. I'm crazy 
About you.

I tried so hard to get over it, but I'm losing my mind.
It hurts like hell to be near you but never, ever, ever close to you.
You once said you were crazy about me, now you're through,
But I'm still crazy, so crazy about you. 

I'm crazy. I'm crazy about you.
I'm crazy. I'm crazy about you.

You say I don't know what love is.
Well maybe, baby, but I'm still crazy
So crazy about you.
Day and night and night and day
It's you on my mind, it's you in my mind.

I'm crazy. I'm crazy about you.
I'm crazy, so crazy about you.

I'm crazy.

I judged your sexuality 
With my perversions 
I judged your happiness
With my big frown
I judged your negativity
By get get gettin' you down

Cos I'm hip, I'm a hippo, a hippocrit

I judged your promiscuity
When I was fuck, fuck, fucking around
I judged your honesty
With all my lies
I judged your judging
So it's no surprise

That I'm hip, I'm a hippo, a hippocrit

I judged your beliefs
Standing up to my neck in bullshit
I judged your freedom
From the prison that I built for me
I judged your intelligence
With my stupidity, so you see

That I'm hip, I'm a hippo, a hippocrit




Hippocrit

Lay a Brick, about progress being steady, inch by inch...

You can't build a wall
But you can lay a brick.
You can't age a year
But you can grow a day

You can't be a hero
But you can face your fear
And you can't have it all
But you can have it bit by bit

So Lay a Brick
Bit by bit.

You can't grab a love
But a love can sure grab you
You can't make it all perfect
But you can think it through

You can be high and mighty
Or you can confess
You can't beat all the rest
You can only do your best

So Lay a Brick
Bit by bit

Lay A Brick

He says:
"Who am I, and who is me?
Is me I, or am I me?"
Which is real, and which is make believe
The only judge is reality.

All the bullshit of my life
I can't stand the stench
My nose is wide

The thing I created to survive
Now has to go bye, bye, bye,
Bye, bye, bye.

And the veil falls away 
And suddenly I see,
Suddenly there's clarity:
There is only one of me

Out of the dark
into the light
It's the end 
Of night

Out of the dark
Into the light
It's the start
Of life

Out of the dark
Into the light
It's the end
Of Night

Out of the dark
Into the light
It's the start
Of life

I am.
I am alive.
I am life.



Into the light

A simple yet epic unfolding odyssey on the crisis of civilisation
Ft. Anne-Marie Piazza on cello and backing vocals

Well you gotta pay the bills
And they've got us by the balls
Well you have to pay the rent
Did you think that money was heaven sent?

Born into a prison 
That we can't touch taste or see
Though you’ll know it's there
Once you see reality 

We are not free 
The truth is in your eyes
Not free to be
Don’t believe all the lies

Money makes the world go round
We truly do believe
But money is just a symptom
Of an underlying disease

And Ever since we first planted that seed
We’ve been dividing up the earth
A conceptual ideology
What true value is it worth?

We are not free
Though we're told to believe
It breaks the unity
Of what we're meant to be

We evolved to be as one
But divide and conquer wins
It's the ultimate strategy
To keep us from awakening

To see the ancient lie
And to ask why, why, why?
How much to pay for the truth?
We all can see the proof

For life is life 
And life is free
We're forced to trade
For the imagin’ry

Evolution expresses needs
That we all have had suppressed
To cut us off from ourselves
And cut us off from all the rest

A billion years of life on earth
And no one ever had to pay to live
And paying money means paying time
Which means paying life to live

We are not free
We pay with our lives
Insanity
Is no surprise

This is our home
It’s our birthright
The Earth alone
Is all our lives
