LIMP

RETURN OF THE EGOSNATCHER

At night when you lie on your bed
All alone
You try to sleep without success
And a deep moan
Arises from the bottom of your throat
Like the egosnatching worm
From the bottom of your soul
You stare at the ceiling 
But you can't kill the feeling
You wonder why the hell
There must be something on earth 
Like you

You sweat a lot 
You writhe with pain
And you groan
Your enemy's all around you
While you are on your own

You can't help feeling helpless 
In front of this world
Not needing you at all to go on
You can't shut your ears 
To this incessant voice
Keeping on and on whispering
HATE YOURSELF

I can't stand this look of mine
I HATE MYSELF

Will you do me a favour ?
Please crush my face

I DON'T WANT TO BE MYSELF
I just swear 
I just don't want to be there
Like I am
I just don't want to be there at all

And I just can't go on
Feeling 2 feet small
I want to have my face corrected 
Or rather
I'd smash it up

I FEEL BLUE

Hi you over there, what are you doing now? 
What about you & me going to the cinema together? 
We'll have a nice time eating popcorn, you know, 
we'll get real fine pimpled together
- I'm quite a nice wash-and-wear-type, 
it's just when I hear the word NO
I kind of get out of control, 
I start kicking the wall, kickin it off

-oh, where's my shoe?

What else could I be, what else should I be
 - I feel blue
Somehow I just can't stop laughing at me
 - I feel blue
Sometimes I feel like falling to pieces
 - I'm confused
You thought I'm a maniac but I was a psycho
 - nothing new

I swear and time goes by
While looking through the hole in your eye

Oh, there I went off through the window
 - she just wasn't as kind 
as I was to her, you know 
she's got a brother with a chainsaw
but that's no problem with me, 
well you know, and I'm not even 
going to get angry, 
no: I got myself completely under control...
I'm just a bit bored...
uhm, I'm not sure...
not anymore...

-oh, where's my shoe?

What else could I be, what else should I be
 - I feel blue
Somehow I just can't stop laughing at me
 - I feel blue
Sometimes I feel like falling to pieces
 - I'm confused
You thought I'm a maniac but I was a psycho
 - that was cool, huh...

When a colour turns greedy 
It just must have come
Riding down some Cangaroo tongue having fun
It's spitting in my beer
Which makes me pray to Jah:
Please, Jah gimme some weed 
Cuz I ain't got no more sensiminia
So I keep on talking walking talking
My problem is that I just can't quit
Oh yes, I keep on talking walking talking
Cuz I just can't quit talking shit

What else could I be, what else should I be
 - I feel blue
Somehow I just can't stop laughing at me
 - I feel blue
Sometimes I feel like falling to pieces
 - I'm confused
You thought I'm a maniac but I was a psycho
 - nothing new

Sing it as long as I feel blue
Swear like a turd dropped on the floor 
Spit at the ground, not at your shoes
This is the way how dreams can end

BLOW MAN BLOW

I really feel so fine
You know that's just because
Today is my birthday
And I know I'll get a pie
An I-tal one from my mum
With three candle lights
That are stuck right into the cream
Now I'll have to blow them out
So I take a deep breath, do I?
But a tiny fly passing by, aspirated
Hampers me to...

"BLOW MAN, BLOW!"
Is what they all shout not seeing the fly

I don't know why, I don't know why
I just can't blow out those candlelights
Don't know why I should blow out 
These lights that signify my life
Which haven't been so long
But isn't worth to be blown away

And all they say, they say to me
Is just what they want me to be
I don't know why!
Those lights are so kind and bright!

"BLOW MAN BLOW
YOU STUPID IDIOT!"

I feel so bad right now
It's my birthday today
And I am supposed 
To blow out those candlelights
That are stuck in my pie
But I wonder why
Just why we just can't let them burn down
Instead of blowing them away
Because they give warmth and light

And if you do not touch the flame
You'll not burn and you'll see
That it's alright to eat
A pie still covered with burning lights

I don't know why, I don't know why
I should blow out those 3 candlelights
Don't know why I should blow out 
These lights that signify my life
Which haven't been so long
But isn't worth to be blown away

I don't know why, I don't know why
Why I should blow out those candlelights
Because they give warmth & light
And they taste so fine, oh yeh!

"BLOW MAN BLOW
YOU STUPID IDIOT
BLOW MAN BLOW
BLOW BLOW
YOU STUPID IDIOT!"

MY LIFE AS A TABLE

 - "Now that you've spent one lifetime as a table
Please tell me if your personality turned stable...
Say what your brain looks like 
(If it's still mashed potatoes it's alright)
Just speak to me like a friend
Tell me everything (I want to hear)!"

- "I'm not one to bear a grudge
But four legs is one too much
Four sticky sickening sticks
You'd better cut off
Growing my distress...
	-So, what am I ?"

- "Well, what about nauseous kippers?"

		

-"Now that I've spent one lifetime as a table
They still like me the same old way
They tell me : 'Stay away!'
Say what the hell have I done
That I've got to feel that everywhere I'm wrong
Drowned down in a gob of spit
Crushed, squashed
LIKE A PIECE OF IT...


I'm rotting in a hole
Surrounded by the shreds of my brain
I'm down the drain while all I want is
TO BE SOMEONE
Though I am just
A harmless little fuck."

- "Now that you've spent one lifetime as a table
I'd really like to know if you are still not able
To say what you haven't got
And to walk in an upright way
Without falling to pieces
While the amount of your failures increases
Testify all of my lies
It doesn't matter if you don't even cry
Just drink this piss of a little dog
and feel like a run over frog!"

- "Tablecloth-white candlelight
Still makes grow my appetite
I carefully open your skull
But it's just hollow 
And still it grows this appetite
I can no longer stand..."

- "Yeh, well
What about nauseous kippers?
What about nauseous kippers?
What about nauseous kippers?
What about nauseous kippers?

...What about nauseous kippers, eh?"

THE FISH

You say everything I say
Is dishwater-dullgrey
And I'm just there to bore
You say when you speak to me:
"Please get off my way!
You're ugly, moist and bold!"
I say:
I love you, I want to be with you
To be the one with you
Without anybody else
I'm the only one for you 
To go on with

And now you feel there's something lying on you
And yet you hope that your feeling's not true

"And you still don't want to...?"
You still don't want me to change
Your mind
Oh why don't want you to try ?
Cuz if you tried 
You would see that it's alright
So open your mind and close your eyes
Taste my slime and you'll see
It's alright where I lie

Why do you try to struggle ?
Can't you see that I'm no toy
No way out, you're hopeless
I'm your only choice

There is always something above you
Who puts you down
A tiny slimy fish

And now you feel me clearly lying on you
And there's no hope your feeling's not true
A tiny slimy fish crawling on your belly
Spreading it's slime over your brain
Putting you down
Imagine I was just some piece of honey pie
Or something you like 
And you'll forget 
I'm just a fish

I'M (ALWAYS) EASY

What a nice day today 
-that's what I thought 
When I got up so early this evening 
and I decided to go to the beach; there I went 
with a six-pack in my hand 
Taking the first bottle I sat down in the sand 
but I didn't open it 
because i didn't want to miss what I had come for: 
the bright red sunset...

And then I talked to myself about what I am
And I had so much to tell myself
Sitting in the sand 

-Oh, I didn't know how to feel
That time...

I don't know what I am, don't know what I've got
Though I got to be someone
I don't know if I can, as I stand in the sand 
Find what I'm looking for... 
But wait, there's something I found
Now it's bright and clear standing in front of me
Of course in every street it was right before me 
How could I never see it?

Just to reach now what I haven't got
Just to reach the stuff 
Of which I ain't got enough

As I awoke, alone in the sand
the bottle still lay in my hand, unopened
as I heard the sound of a chainsaw 
From the near wood 
I had a last look at it, and then I kicked it away; 
same as I did with an amputated head
That humped my leg.

That was the moment when I 
Felt the sudden need to decide
About what I was to be 

-And in the end I decided just 
Never to drink beer again, oh yeh...

And now I know what I feel: I feel what I need: 
I have to be commercial!
And on every street it's smiling at me: 
"You have to be commercial!"
And when I look at me
There's one thing I need 
For it's my heart that's bleeding
So I know what I feel: I feel what I need!

And it's...it's...! 


-You know it took me much time
In order just to realize,
Just to know and to understand,
What I was to be and what I needed

I know what I feel:
I feel what I need 
And it's always ultra

I know what I feel: 
I feel what I need
And it's always ultra

Just to realize that you don't think
Just to realize that you don't think to much

(I LOVE YOU) I'M BLIND

You're just like the knee
Coming from the sea
When I bleed
You're just like the rain 
Running down the drain 
So in vain

I love you for being so incredibly tragical
Like the pie that roars so magically 
Right down from the sky
Straight into my eye

And now I can't see what I mean
I can't see what I see
I don't know what you are like
I can't see where you are

You just broke my heart
So it fell apart
Oh, you're so smart!
You're just like the stars
Stuck into my arse
Oh, you're so crass!

I love you more than I can tell you now
Anyhow, I think something's hit my head somehow
And the snow keeps falling down
It really makes me frown

And now I can't see what I mean
I can't see what I see
I don't know what you are like
I can't see where you are

So shove
You've got to feel like what you shove

Cuz you don't get what I say to you
No, you don't get what I say to you:
Do I love you 
Just because I'm blind?
