- 8 Mile Road
Daisies in the chain
Woven in your hair that falls into a braid
Woven' round the statue's toes in the gardens you made
Bells that sing and chime
Little crystal bells that toll all through the night
Never once did angels break away from your side
- Demon Called Deception
I’m in tight with a demon called deception
It’s alright he’s a treating me quite well
I’m in tight with a demon called deception
He’s right beside me when I fail
To whisper words like brother nothin’ here is any good
See the birds they’re a dropping like a star wormwood
And all I wanted was a little patch of green
- Dixie Drug Store
Oh jambalaya
Oh jambalaya
It was muggy July around supper time
When I pulled into New Orleans
I got dropped off
At south Rampart Street
I was hungry for a plate of greens
- Fuzzy
Bring me home to this house of many days
Just lay me on the floor hard and cool as slate
You know I love it more and more than before I ran away
It triggers off so many hurts hurtful words and broken plates
I lied to
Now I’m fuzzy
I’ve been lied to
- Happiness
Nevermind me ’cause I’ve been dead
Out of my body been out of my head
Nevermind the songs they hum
Don’t want to sing along
There’s nothin’ that I said
That’ll bring you happiness happiness
Is hard to come by I confess
- In My Room
There's a room where I can go and tell my secret's to
In my room In my room
In this world I lock out all my worries and my cares
In my room In my room
Do my dreaming and my scheming lie awake and pray
Do my crying and my sighing laugh at yesterday
Now it's dark and I'm alone but I won't be afraid
- Mockingbirds
Devastation at last
Finally we meet
After all of these years
Out here on the street
I had a feeling you would
Make yourself known
You came along
Just to claim your place on the throne
- My, My, My
Fine fine strychnine free the mind cure the blind
Ho ho recline to the country a-goldmines
I got it comin' out-a my ears
Fine fine take your time stay put in the alpines
Ho ho Cocteau you get mixin' the moonshine
He'll teach you how to walk through mirrors
My my my you're petrified
- Rock Of Ages
Rock of ages
I am tumbling down
Where the roots of trees
Embrace you
I do fall upon my knees
And ask you how
You can just sit there and be
- Sing Along
Hammerin' hammerin'
Hammerin' hammerin'
Halleluhoodwink a hound's life is for me
Everything but the kitchen sink he built it just for me
Hallelu you're the thing that leads me to the mark
I'd build you a river but I'm still not through with this ark
- Soft Wolf Tread
The soft wolf tread
Through Emerald Forest he was lookin' to make a bed
There in the spindly thicket softly did he tread
The soft wolf tread
Sure was starved
And through his silver coat his ribs shown sharply carved
The hand that feeds was pickin' weeds
- The Whole Shebang
The Whole Shebang
(velvet goldmine soundtrack 1998)
Darlin' you can't live your life singing songs in exile
You were born for stardom's crown and not for self denial
So don't you close the door on fate when she comes to call
And tell her that you'll join her there at the masqueraders ball
- Truly, Truly
I was hanging with some friends
In the parking lot one night near the summer's end
I leaned back against the glass
Of a car to watch all those speeding comets crash
It made me think about us
It made me think about us
Truly truly truly I want you
- Wish You Well
See the end see the end of time
From the widow's walk I feel the undertow
It grows and my fishin' pole
Like a willow bends toward the blackest hole
To the hole
See the film see the black and whites
Circle stationed stupid to the tape that rolls
My soul receives another blow
