Quiet Now

Quiet now, quiet now. It's love. It's love.

Shut up! Shut up if you love me, and love me.

Put the bottle down
let me see your eyes.
Climb up off the floor
and shut up for a while. 

Quiet now, quiet now. It's love. It's love.

Forget! Forget about your vodka.
Blow! Blow a kiss on me.
Shut up! Shut up on my shoulder,
and maybe sleep.

Sleep...sleep...sleep

Shut up! Shut up if you love me, and love me! 
Shut up! Shut up if you love me, and love me.

Love me
Love me
Love me.

Quiet Now

Mouse

I see you coming
Should I run away?
I think that's lame.
I think I'll stay,
Mouse.

I see you coming
Should I lock the door.
Are you going to give me less?
Are you going to give me more,
Mouse?

I see you coming. 
Should I clean the house?
There ain't nothing quiet
about being a mouse.
Mouse.

Been Too Long


She wouldn't say,
She wouldn't say.

How many years she'd be gone,
How many years she'd be gone.

She didn't know,
She didn't know.

How many tears had to fall,
How many tears had to fall.

You know I tried,
You know I tried.

I said I'd wait but it's been too long,
I said I'd wait but it's been too long.
I said I'd wait but it's been too long,
I said I'd wait but it's been too long.

Picnic

OWL

Met an OWL who stared at my face
Said her name was Approximately Grace
Reach out a claw across a bit of space
Ran on the floor for a hiding place

I got down on one and then both knees
Lowered my eyes to see what I could see
She was cowering from behind me came a sound
It was big so I turned me round

It was a BIRD as far I could see
Bigger than the sky it was even bigger than ME
It said 'That's my girl! Back off would you? Now!"
It had torn the roof off of my house!

There were pictures, but none of them came out
It was So Damn Big it's eyes had their own Clouds!
To my mind, the most terrifying scene
Was the awful smile, and the teeth in the beak!




Loose Lips

Loose leaves bring thieves
Loose lives wield knives
Loose knives hunt lives
Loose teeth make you shut your eyes

...shut your eyes...

Loose beginnings never end
Nothing's lost if you start again
If your past makes you shut your eyes
Don't look back
it'll make you cry

...make you cry...

Loose leaves bring thieves
Loose lips move those hips
Loose tongues go unsung
Loose mouths run you out of town

...out of town.... 

Loose Lips

Who Are You Now

Who do you become when you've got what you want?

Do you become a hero?
Do you become an ant?
Do you become
a sycophant?

Who do you become when you learn how to drive?

Do you become a monster?
Do you become a fool?
Do you become
a bloody tool?

Who do you become? Yea? You got it! Alright!!
