Exile In Guyville, 1993
6'1"
I bet you fall in bed too easily
With all the beautiful girls who are shyly brave
And you sell youself as a man to save
But all the money in the world is not enough
I bet you've long since past understanding
What it takes to be satisfied
You're like a vine that keeps climbing higher
But all the money in the world is not enough
And all the bridges blown away keep floating up
It's cold
And rough
And I keep standing 6'1"
Instead of 5'2"
And I loved my life
And I hated you
It's cold, out there
And rough
And I keep standing6'1"
Instead of 5'2"
And I loved my life
And I hated you
Help Me, Mary
Help me Mary please
I've lost my home to your thieves
They bully the stereo and drink
They leave suspicious things in the sink
They make rude remarks about me
They wonder just how wild I would be
As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that
I lock my door at night
I keep my mouth shut tight
I practice all my moves
I memorise their stupid rules
I make myself their friend
I show them just how far I can bend
As they egg me on and keep me mad
They play me like a pit bull in a basement, and for that
I'm asking will you Mary please
Temper my hatred with peace
Weave my disgust into fame
And watch how fast they run to the flame
Glory
He's got a really big tongue
It rolls way out
Snaking around in the club
It slicks you down
Scratching his face like a bum
He pulls you back
Circa nineteen eighty-one
He pulls you back
You are you are shining some glory
You are you are shining some glory
On me on me
You are you are shining some glory
You are you are shining some glory on me
Dance Of The Seven Veils
Johnny my love get out of the business
It makes me wanna rough you up so badly
Makes me wanna roll you up in plastic
Toss you up and pump you full of lead
Johnny my love get out of the business
The odds are getting fatter by the minute
That I have got a bright and shiny platter
And I am gonna get your heavy head
I only ask because I'm a real cunt in spring
You can rent me by the hour
I know all about the ugly pilgrim thing
Entertainers bring may flowers
So Johnny my love we got us a witness
Now all we gotta do is get a preacher
He can probably skip the 'until death' part
Cos Johnny my love you're already dead
I only ask because I'm a real cunt in spring
I know all about the ugly pilgrim thing
Entertainers bring may flowers
May flowers, may flowers to you
Never Said.
Yeah
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I don't know where you heard it
Don't know who's spreading it round
All I know is I'm clean as a whistle baby
I didn't utter a sound
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I don't know what they told you
Don't even care what about
All I know is I'm clean as a whistle baby
I didn't let the cat out
So don't look at me sideways
Don't even look me straight on
And don't worry I've got my hands in my pockets baby
I ain't done nothing wrong
I never said nothing
No baby I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
No not to anyone
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
I never said nothing
Soap Star Joe.
He's just a hero in a long line of heroes
Looking for something attractive to save
They say he rode in on the back of a pickup
And he won't leave town til you remember his name
