I've been to this place before
I've stepped my foot through this door

He's got you mesmerised
by all the food in disguise

And here we go again
who knows how this will end
we always find ourselves
too entertained, to be entertained
to entertain

He's got you mesmerised

But I could see the disguise.

I. Have. Been. Here. Before
I've been here before!

House Guest

As die donder kom
dan draai ek om

As die mense vra
dan se ek ja

Hier kom die Wolf in sy mooiste klere
en ons is verlei soos troeteldiere

En jy het gese die nag is lang
maar jy het gevra, jy het gevra

Die donder kom

As die donder kom
dan draai ek om

As die mense vra
dan se ek ja
Dan se ek ja

En nou voel ek stokseelaleen
'n mens kan praat sonder om veel te se

Oh, my Wolf hoe laat is dit

Die donder kom.

Wolfie

The world outside too much to bear
I sit inside I stay I stare.

My friends say that I need to leave
They think there's something wrong with me

Unlike everybody I like to read
They say that it's not good for me

But in this way I know what's right
TV decides which days are bright

I read, I read, I read the news on TV
I read, I read, I read and it's good for me

I love this job behind the desk
when I'm on air I know what's best

I read, I read, I read the news on TV
I read, I read, I read and it's good for me.

I Read

A crush on a girly, 
love is swirly.
A meet between sheets
a feast on her eyes.

A kiss on his left cheek
and maybe his right too.
It may be his first dream
coming true

The window wide open,
the breeze on her face
and her body,
he averts his eyes.

No man returns wiser,
no man has to set these stones
we walk on.
No man is that wise

Baby won’t you come on home
with me when I wanna go?

Baby won’t you come on home with me
when I wanna go?

The lies, defeat and all those beautiful things....

A married man. 
You know you are 
a married man?
You are married, man.

You gotta go baby
you’ve got to face it now
you gotta go baby

When love isn’t mutual
it’s sick with confusion
of what’s wrong 
and what is right.

He takes a step back 
and looks at the prospects
of this girl, 
and his shrike

She has to be with him,
doesn’t like his decision:
It’s nothing or everything.

No man returns wiser,
no man has to set these stones
we walk on.
No man is that wise.

Queeny

Lost in the sugar cane,
I felt my way back again.

I'm lost in a dirty haze,
is this how you feel the same?

I'm lost.

I tossed all that stuff aside,
I go.

Oh. I'm in the middle of a slump,
and all I do is laugh by myself, 
yeah, I laugh by myself,
I think I need to go home.


It's hard when people say
they've found the perfect way,
I'm lost in a dirty haze
and I go
what do we know
I take a chance now.


Oh. I'm in the middle of a slump,
I took myself upon the wrong way, up,
where is down, the wrong way down,
And now I know,
I go

You might not even be real,
And now I'm breaking my head in two,
I think the signs are all wrong,

I'm lost in a perfect place.

Sugar

Seeing all the dust and cotton
always getting what's forgotten
Sizes in the smalls and larges
Aisles and aisles of stupid assholes

What am I doing here?

The pain, everyday. 
Miserable life.
In this store.

Take down the mannequin's
stupid shirt and leggings
Fill the racks with diamonds,
diamanté mui frustrante!

Oh what am I doing here,
in this store?

Standing here behind the same 
fucking counter everyday
people becoming bags of flour and melons
sinking into carpets
falling through the tiles, 
crashing through the glass...
“Do you have this in a medium?”
“No, we have it in brown.”
I wish I didn’t give such great fashion advice
crying in the fitting rooms

It's the end of the day
I gotta pack up, close up 
to go to another store
to get myself some food...

Hello Mr Flour do you need a small?
What's that Mrs Watermelon? Can I smash you against the wall?

The fucking store
the fucking store
Fuck it all.

The Store

Can I tell you lies? Or will I fuck it up again?
Can I tell you secrets or will my soul be burned down there?

It’s all the same.

Can I tell you lies?
Or will I fuck it up again?

Treat Me Like A Woman

When I wake up alone
and I feel so sick,
in the back of my mind 
and I feel this itch.
In the back of my room 
and I feel alive
in the back of my mind
and I think this time,
that I know, I've got the blues.

And the doctor says no no no no
and the nurse says go go go go.
Everybody thinks I'm a liar
but I know deep down I am the messiah.

But I know, I’ve got the blues.

When I look in the river
and I see myself.
Yeah I walk on the river.
And I don't know
what to do
In my mind
it all makes so much sense but

I don't really know what to do
I can’t help think you think I’m a fool
I can’t help think you think I’m a liar, 
I can’t see why you’d think otherwise.

I can’t see where you’re coming from,
Why you don’t see I’m the holy one,
I can’t help think it’s true
I really really don’t want to be in two.

When I lie in my bed
and I'm feeling the dread
and I'm sick sick sick sick. Dead.

Yeah I’m sick sick dead.

I’m sick sick dead.

Pretty Bloody

I hear them calling for,
I hear them calling for me

They want my clever cells.
They want a body to take up there.

And you can’t see
beyond actuality.
As you perceive
fact is all that’s real.

And you can’t see 
what it means to me.
I swear, I’m not
Making this up.

I hear them calling for,
I feel them coming for me.

What does it really mean,
When they lean over you?
What do they really do,
when they lean over you?

And you now see
beyond actuality.
And you will dare 
to be taken up there.

Now you can see 
what it means to me.

You hear them calling for
You hear them calling for me.

And all the difference it
All the difference it makes to me.

What is it they really want? 
What is it they really do?

Convinced you they exist indeed
Out there or in my head it seems.

What is it they really want,
What is it they really do?

What is it they really want,
when they’re leaning over you?

Sterntaler (Live at Mercury)

Eavesdrop, of a time I lost.
Painted bones, of a man I loved.
Easily, taking everything.
Oh my child, you won’t die alone.

Holding on, to a better day.
How the time made your ugly face go away...

Go away...
With your pretty face,
You’re pretty dense, for a man.

Eavesdrop, now I've heard too much.
Painfully, losing everything.

How can I be a better man?
Now that I know this information
and it won’t go away...

Go away...
With your pretty face,
You’re pretty dense, for a man...

Eavesdrop

Heavy rain and fleets of ships.
The empty shores receiving men,
And everywhere are bridges broken.

Cities made of sugar mountains,
Loyal cats and social soldiers,
Who they are, nobody knows.

In the shadows we play.
In the shadows we say:
"In the moonlight we know,
what the future will hold."

Who they are and what’s the lesson?
Skin and bones and no progression,
to their place, in the modern world.

In the shadows we play.
In the shadows we say:
"In the moonlight we know,
what the future will hold."

Open. 
Downspoken.
Love broken.
Not joking.
Just hoping and choking on truth.

Heavy rain
