Lyrics:
I've had enough of the light
Let's turn the lights down low
And get in our evening glow
I wrote a haiku for you
And ways that you do
And the way that you move...

I saw you climb the fiery spires
And you never tired
That's what makes you what you are

Well, you're lucky if you get out of this world with any kind of love at all
That's what she said
I said, "Let's go dancing like we used to do
Let's go nowhere
In the car
Let's rhapsodize upon the stars
You know I love the way we are"

You can't love yourself all alone
You are everywhere
And everyone you've known
You can't love yourself all alone

You can't love yourself all alone
You are everywhere
You're everyone you've known
You can't love yourself
All alone
You are the particles of everywhere you've gone
You can't love yourself all alone

I wrote a haiku for you
For the way that you move...

You can't love yourself all alone
You are everywhere
And everyone you've known
You can't love yourself all alone
You're the elements
The particles of everywhere you've gone

You Can't Love Yourself All Alone

People say you can't wash away the mud of this world with pure white snow. You need asura snow - stained fiery red.

Lyrics;
Well we finally arrived at the time to say goodnight
Goodbye to all that shite
Hello 2025
I don’t know how we stayed alive
We clearly surely should have died
We’re really royally petrified that we’ll be toast

Nagasaki seeming like a pinprick 

And that’s all if the civil war don’t kill us all before they get their hands on the new nuke codes

Nagasaki seeming like a pinprick

And don’t tell me about climate change 

And then there’s mass immigration and falling family values
Sky high inflation  
All calling manly pals to
Gather together 
Prepare to whether
Come may whatever
Cos power is better 
Than cowering wetter than piss
How the fuck did it come to this 

But hold on now this is not a new moan 
No new ideas here 
Old rope like  ring tones
I know mind blown 
Convicts condone
Complex con loans
Condoms cost loads
Compost , compose
Get lost in prose
Contain condo’s
Control combo’s

So guess what I’m saying’s 
Have a lovely new year 
There’s really nowt changing 
Just a cycle of fear 
That’ll just keep on turning 
At a fair old chug 
Till some clever fucker discovers the plug

on the upside

Love you

A song about Janteloven..

Norwegian lyrics:

Lille speil på veggen der
Kem e det æ ser, ho som står der?
Ho e fin, ho smile så bra
Det gjør ikke æ, det va det dem sa..

For noen fine øya ho har
Ikke som mine, dem e bare rar
Hennes ansikt e forma så bra
Ikke som mitt, det va det dem sa..

For en vakker kropp æ ser
Ho e nok fornøyd, kan ikke ønske sæ mer
Kroppen min e bare rar
Æ vet det godt, for det va det dem sa...

Skulle ønske æ så ut som det
Da skulle æ ikke ha ønska mæ mer
Æ skulle smilt til speilet hver dag
Og ikke brydd mæ om ka dem sa...

Så lille speil på veggen der
Kem e i speilet, ho som står der?
Ho e så fin, ho smile så bra
Ikke som mæ, for det va det dem sa....
