- Animals
I black my cheeks and I close my eyes
I bare my teeth but it's not a smile
I dress my cross in my Sunday best
I cross my dress and I beat my chest
Out come the wolves
Need a new way out
I'm alone in a bad crowd
We're in the jungle now
- Black Cloud
"Black Cloud"
I know talk is cheap and I pay my way
It's a slow day with nothing to see through
On an empty street in a strange city
I feel my skin, fighting to change me
- Church Tongue
Every day I wake up
my pillows made up
I'm tired of always following you around
you're such a faker
and when you meet your maker
I know he's gonna beat you, down to the ground
Do you remember me at all?
- Drive
Found love in the dead of night
Found love I can't live without it
I just feel so good here in black and blue
I found love in a dirty bed
I found love, I'd be dumb to play it
I just can't go on with nothing to lose
I found love on a chewed up neck
- Fire
When I met you I was younger
Full of brimstone with a burning hunger
You broke the ice like a messiah
To my surprise you could not walk on water
You took my hand and lead me to the lights
To a bar where they sell fire on ice
And then you whisper in my ear this strange advice
“relax your trust”
- For Better Or Hearse
I wake up with my shoes on
And my whole life thrown around the room
And I swear like a sailor
As I choke on smoke and cheap perfume
I've been here, I've been here before
And I know you've been right, you've been right
This is a warning
- Girls
You order margaritas for your friends
In the trendy bars at the world's end
I can see death there consoling old girlfriends
Says there's a guest list place down in heaven
It's a familiar feeling
I'm high as the ceiling
And I'm never ever coming down
- Give Me What I Want
We take three steps forward and three steps back,
She says "I don't like the way you're dressed"
So then four words later, she takes four back
She says "I don't like the way you're tryin' your best to impress"
You win.
Everything you do,
Makes me wanna run
Home, will you get me going
- Hunt the Haunted
She can taste the sorrow
And she can't get enough
And she's too scared to swallow
If she might fall in love
- Matters At All
Is it so hard to remember
When we go back to September
We were
We were like.
You're a throw back to forever
In your denim jeans and leather
Yes you
- Maybe Tomorrow
Get up early
You're still late
And still coming down from yesterday
I've seen enough to see this far
And I wanna fail you all
Soldiered on into the day
Wipe your nose, the night still prays
Upon your skin and crawls
- Pillow Talk
Well you can bark all night
But you're never gonna bite
So I don't care
Because it's dark and light
And their fighting for the right
To choose your heir
Well you can swing your arms
You can work your charms
- Raise Hell
So don't worry they tell me hell's an ok place to be
this time of year
so don't worry they tell me hell's the hippest place to be
and I'm dying gradually to get there
while you're trying desperately to stay here
as you glance around the room
to check that no one sees how normal you are
- Saturday
And I wish I could sleep
But I'm tired, down, dirty in these borrowed sheets
It's been a week
And I've singing til I faint, yeah
But I won't admit defeat til
Saturday, Saturday, Saturday
When you come by
For your information
- Secret Santa
You've spent enough for five more beers
You've got your shopping done early this year
This Christmas, this Christmas.
Like Friday all the queues are long
And all the cubicles with locks are gone
This Christmas, this Christmas.
Have you been a good boy?
- Shameless
As you crawl on all fours
A dirty mouth licks clean the floor
You were lighting them up and stomping them out
That little black book is full of these red faces you've pulled
Painting it down and dragging it down,
She's got, she's got so many vices,
She dies ten times a night.
- Sunshine
Talk to me, cause I need an answer, I need an answer,
Carry me, cause I need an answer, I need an answer,
Torture me, forever hanging on and on.
Cause I know what you are to one more.
Stop wishing for the sunshine,
Start living in the rain.
Stop telling me we'll be fine,
- The Best Is Yet To Come
It started with the sun in your eyes
The devil in your throat and in your thighs
A pocket full of notes, a head of lies
Is no good for you
Wrestle with the questions in your head
Fumble with the stranger in your bed
Condemn it to the great abyss instead
Whatever suits you
- The Morning Afterlife
Give me one good reason why I should trust
Or see the good in both of us
When we came with love and left with lust
When we came with lies we’ve learnt to trust
Give me good reason to believe in all I do and all I see
And all I see
We slip into something more comfortable
- Undercover Lover
I've tried so hard to tell you
These things I've heard about you
In your stars
They tear you apart
I've lied so hard to fool you
All these things come back to haunt
You in the dark
They tear you apart
