Unholy

Honey, honey don’t you know
Clock is ticking, my watch is slow
Got things that I wanna do
Sold my soul to a pitch black crow
Run baby, run baby, run, run, run!
You can run with the devil, you can point your gun
You can pray like a preacher to the new born son
You can eat your own words, but you’ll way a ton
Unholy was my favourite past time
Feeling unholy
I’d like to take you down that line
Young baby, young – we can still have fun
We can take a deep breath we can smoke our lungs
We can scream we can shout we can fuck and dance
We can jump out a plane, we can take a chance
Unholy was my favourite past time
Feeling unholy
I’d like to take you down that line
This holy matrimony ‘s filled with frequent sinners
I’m sorry son, I can’t exchange these horns for feathers
Deboucherous endeavours turned us all to liars
We spend our last days surfing on a lake of fire
Save me
Perversion, wicked schemes and pockets full of gold
No holy water’s gonna cure this cold
We’ve been enticed by cars and pretty girls
Forbidden fruit it seems, will never grow old
I get it, I know that the devil’s gonna show up at my door expressing interest in my wicked soul
Liars, cheaters, gambling men, it’s obvious that you have sinned
You put more fuel onto the fire
Going down – you’ve been expired!

As the sun draws water resistance is breaking down
Crumbling like a biscuit, food for the suspicious minds who frown
But they know all about it
Office politics and failed love affairs
The thought of minibus taxis on their way to who knows where
Tax that fluctuates and petrol price is too high
Makes you want to pull your hair and scream at the sky
One more complication in my life
One more added frustration makes my daylight night
Is there some relief from
Can you show me options?
They may vary but they come way too slow
Running up and down to get every little thing done
For no apparent reason something always goes wrong
As the annoying traffic of mishaps start to pile up
You reach for the nearest exit, because you want it to stop
There we were smiling having fun
Rolling around in the grass, looking at the butterflies flapping around
Oh it’s so pretty here
Why can’t this day dream last?
Because it’s nowhere near what this day has been like
A massive thorn in my side
Pricking me to remind that you should be playing your hand
You got to be tough
It’s that fire, fire burning up
It’s that kick and never giving up
That love and hate relationship

We walked into a crowded place
There were many a familiar face
Many of whom thought they had some taste
I beg to differ
You’re just another puppet on a string
Having some fun, enjoying the fling
But your day will come, my man
Round and round and round it goes
When it stops, no one knows
The feeling turns into a thought
Liven up the atmosphere, it’s not your fault
Just do what you want to do
Well, do what you want to do
Where’s your desire?
Where’s your will?
You should get out more and enjoy the thrill
Now movement without motivation led us to this place
The indecisiveness fuelled our rage
The constant battle to fill the space
Everyone needs explanations
Round and round and round it goes
When it stops, no one knows
The feeling turns into a thought
Liven up the atmosphere, it’s not your fault
Just do what you want to do
Well, do what you want to do
Break away, get onto the freeway
Never say fail, never fail to do it our way
Open up the flood gates, let it all flow
Emancipate yourself
Won’t you let it go?
Untie yourself

Waking Up

Life is not a problem to be solved, but a mystery to be lived
All that clutters you makes you hard, makes you attached to the past
Break those shackles
So when you dry your tears
Do you find the shadow years are gone, evaporated?
There comes a time for all
Brother man, you’re bound to fall
Only way is through it
Waking up I found myself
It’s been a long time coming
It’s never too late to change
Waking up is worth the wait
Ever since I managed to break free from my close mindedness, all’s been bliss
And so we carry on, make sure the flame burns strong
Never knew I could do it
Waking up I found myself
It’s been a long time coming
It’s never too late to change
Waking up is worth the wait

No More No Less

It's a brand new day, yet I'm stuck in bed
The words you spoke last night are still fresh in my head
Another request, too high for me to reach
The tone of your voice, the look of defeat
I can never win with you
Never can I seem to do the right thing in your eyes
Tears run down, but no one hears my cries
You want more
I can't give you more
They say less is more
It's so frustrating
You want more
I won't give you more
You took too much before
Please stop invading my space
It's so frustrating
So finally it has come to this
Maybe we should end it with a fiery kiss
I called your bluff too many times
Can only take so much, read between the lines
Haven't you had enough?
Haven't you said enough?
Haven't you taken enough from me?
You want more
I can't give you more
They say less is more
It's so frustrating
You want more
I won't give you more
You took too much before
Please stop invading my space
It's so frustrating
You're draining my energy
Corrupting me gradually
I'm fed up with compromise
Exhausted, I'm tired, endurance expired
I can't breathe, I must be suffocating
My poor heart is never going to take it
All this pressure to be demonstrating
Left me hanging from the ceiling shaking

Jimi's Revenge

There comes a time in every man's life when the primitive brain takes over
When lustful thoughts make an entry, it simply won't be ignored
Prevention should've been the answer, but we just need to explore
I wanna show you my assets
I wanna bring you relief
I wanna be your flavour
So there we were exchanging body fluids
Fool proof lover
She wore a red dress with her high heels
She was a demon in disguise
She was just looking for a victim
She would tell them pretty lies
I wanna show you my assets
I wanna bring you relief
I wanna be your flavour
So there we were exchanging body fluids
Fool proof lover
There is no point in complaining, you have been stung by a hive
We have our own sex devices with whom we share, we should think twice
I'm slowly capsizing
Why it’s not surprising that I have been swept by the tide
I'm winning, I'm losing, I'm falling, I'm bruising
I'm never one to abide
I wanna show you my assets
I wanna bring you relief
I wanna be your flavour
So there we were exchanging body fluids
Fool proof lover

Take me to that secret place
I want your soul, I want your taste
A sudden blow turns the mirror around
Perception changes as my head hits the ground
I'm a consumer, too amused to refuse
I get that dirty venom blues when you ask me to choose
You lie like a politician, never supply on demand
Who and just where the hell you are, I can't really say
You're on some different plain
Who and how the hell did it get this far?
I can't really say
They say that you should try
They say that you should indulge
Why don't you modify your mood, get out of your poor skull?
I can't seem to take it slowly, losing all substance
Polluted pleasures percolating through my skin
Dry
Dry, I'm running dry
Supply, please supply
You know I can't survive without you
Take me to that secret place
I want your soul, I want your taste
A sudden blow turns the mirror around
Perception changes as my head hits the ground

Living It Up

You are more than just a collarbone extension
Free up some space from your Star Trek Convention
Your planet's over here, didn't mean to interfere
But put a smile upon your face
Fold your troubles in a suitcase and send it off to some tropic destination
Have a drink, a smoke, a laugh
Let’s muck about, let’s tell a joke and have a blast
No more sitting home alone, waiting by the telephone
Grab your wallet and your keys
Take a minute out to please
Lose control, let it go
We're gonna live it up
Live it up large
No time to think about the finer things
We're gonna live it up
Live it up large
Take a load off, let down your hair and get distracted
Your life doesn't have to be mundane
Let's muck about, have a drink and blow off steam
There's no reason for despair
Get up from your rockin’ chair
Plenty of diversion here
Get your silly ass in gear
Lose control, let it go
We're gonna live it up
Live it up large
No time to think about the finer things
We're gonna live it up
Live it up large

The Mess

Love is a gamble, love is a game
Love is gonna crash and burn, and cause you pain
Love is gonna cough up ridiculous demands
Love will set you free, but will tie your hands
Love is a fever, love will multiply
Love is the simple reason I don't try
Love has got secrets too dark to tell
Love is slowly (but surely) gonna try and crack your shell
I just wanna be a man
I just wanna understand what you're trying to tell me
What do you want?
Can't we just get crazy?
Under the covers, strictly speaking lovers
I don't demand your love
I just need some attention
Physical retribution
So come on and satisfy me
Love can be an evil, evil little pest
Love will put a huge hole in your chest
Love is gonna teach you, love will dominate
Love is gonna open and close the gate
Love is gonna leave you and won't say goodbye
Love is gonna kill you all before you die
Love is gonna clean up, so you can make a mess
Love is gonna put you under house arrest
What do you want?
Can't we just get crazy?
Under the covers, strictly speaking lovers
I don't demand your love
I just need some attention
Physical retribution
So come on and satisfy me

Insipid brother how did you get yourself
into so many knots?
you’ve tumble
dived yourself into congestion
how will you get out this time?
Know when to hold ‘em
know when to fold ‘em
know when to call it quits
Hold ‘em or fold ‘em could surely mean
detrimental decent
sleepless days of pursuit for
that curse at the rainbows end
Troubled sibling how did you
get mixed up
with the filth and the swine?
Hellhounds on your trail
seeking blood and vengeance
there aint no more place to hide
Know when to hold ‘em
know when to fold ‘em
know when to call it quits
Hold ‘em or fold ‘em could surely mean
detrimental decent
sleepless days of pursuit for
that curse at the rainbows end
Too many nights - too many knots
You keep on fighting
it’s too late
All your time and effort
has gone to waist
Who are you?
