ADAMS APPLE

INTO THE DEEP
follow you anywhere even down below follow you I don't care anywhere you want to go maybe there's a side of town where we can go underground and you'll wrap around me until I drown I knew I'd love your voice before I even heard you speak now your precious words are the ones that make me weak I can't say out loud to your soul I'm bound and you'll wrap around me until I drown sirens sound and sirens wail the rocks are jagged you are frail the beauty under the surface just won't let you sleep and before you know it you're dragged into the deep follow you anywhere even down below follow you I don't care anywhere you want to go I'm looking up at the clouds floating out to sea waves crash and pound over me

LONGING
stick it in twist it round shake your salt on this open wound you made me love you then you let me down look after number one is your golden rule up the creek up the river swirling round in these ocean waves try to find the bottom try to get a foothold got to catch my breath 'cause i will not be saved it's just no use if you like the pain there's no excuse where does the longing get you where does the longing get you where does the longing get you so you've had your fun now you're on the run from anything you could feel and when you tire your hearts desire will have broken your rod and mangled your reel up the creek up the river swirling round in these ocean waves try to find the bottom try to get a foothold got to catch your breath 'cause you will not be saved

JELLO MOULD
i come from a long long line of big attention seekers political activists and used vw car dealers and i almost always do exactly as i'm told but you won't catch me climbing into your jello mold i don't get it i was like this when we met and now you're saying that you're glad you didn't bet the odds are long and the ground is true i'm a grown woman now what do you expect me to do what do you expect me to do what do you expect me to do mexican folk heroes and outspoken irish drunks unknown saints and martyrs with contraband in their trunks i almost never do exactly as i'm told and you won't catch me climbing into your jello mold i don't get it i was like this when we met now you're saying that you're glad you didn't bet the odds are long but the ground is true i'm a grown woman now what do you expect me to do what do you expect me to do what do you expect me to do

HEAR YOURSELF
shock me mock me you have to put me down try me defy me to get the last train out of town if you could only hear yourself the cruel things you say if you could only hear yourself you'd take it back today if you could only hear yourself trap me wrap me in the poisons that you weave shush me push me to pack my things and leave if you could only hear yourself the cruel things you say if you could only hear yourself you'd take it back today if you could only hear yourself trusted rusted the love that we once felt but just one too many times you hit below the belt if you could only hear yourself the cruel things you say if you could only hear yourself you'd take it back today if you could only hear yourself

CHEAP PERFUME
your promise smells like cheap perfume you don't mean a thing you say what's become of me where am I in here I've been wondering all day knock back your drink the burn helps you to forget what you said or meant or even feel don't think you've discovered that yet the water line was falling so I fell for you hook line and sinker I knew I was in trouble when I couldn't see the shore I mistook you for a thinker self annialation you must have coined the phrase where are you running I'm trying to protect you from your demons circling but they just keep coming suck in your smoke the burn helps you to forget what you said or meant or even feel don't think you've discovered that yet

GALILEO
galileo would have seen it coming like the moons round jupiter the lines were all drawn as sure as the dawn I've been totally bowled over like a ten pin game my vision is blurred I'm slurring my words how could I know it's affected me so I can't sleep just lay in my bed with you in my head where there used to be sheep now I'm swirling round this chaos that my heart has ushered in if I used my head for just once instead you say that you're suspicious of one so attracted to the void my resistance is weak I can't even speak why can't you see what this could be if you let it don't be afraid of the mess that we'd make just jump in and get it galileo could have seen it coming like the dark side of the moon galileo would have seen it coming

OUT IN THE LIGHT
I walked out in the light out like a free man just waiting for his sentence to end and the daylight is blinding when you've been in the dark you only have yourself to depend on depend on you walked into me life without any warning took my soul by the throat and your fingers are long and you stopped me from breathing try to swallow but I start to choke you pushed me out in the light out like a free man just waiting for his sentence to end and this daylight is blinding when you've been in the dark you only have yourself to depend on philosophers I've known a few with their egos and convictions and their wild contradictions of mind and as I lay here with you you've got to open your eyes try to realise what you've stirred inside of me you pushed me out in the light out like a free man just waiting for his sentence to end and this daylight is blinding when you've been in the dark you only have yourself to depend on depend on

I PURR AND I ROAR
if i was a cat would you let me sit on your lap and stroke and stroke and stroke me some more if i was a dog would i lay at your feet and lick and lick and lick the palm of your hand and i purr and i roar and i purr and i roar and i whine and i howl and i whine and i howl instinct is all i have to go on the sight the smell the sound you are always wrapped up in your head in mid-air floating ten feet off the ground and i purr and i roar and i purr and i roar and i whine and i howl and i whine and i howl if you were a cat would i let you sit on my lap and stroke and stroke and stroke you some more if you were a dog could you lay at my feet and lick and lick and lick the palm of my hand

STRANGE RESISTANCE TO LOVE
a dead womans handbag an old mans overcoat whether i will or whether i won't survive this life until i leave some kind of mark some kind of mark old ties from old men who've passed away compacts with broken mirrors what can i say its do or die until you've gone the signs and the symbols will carry on you've got a strange resistance to being alone hearing voices from above strange resistance to showing your affection strange resistance to love second hand romance just second hand news true love or true lust what do you choose ? lovers holding hands who die in their sleep what are you afraid of have you got secrets to keep you've got a strange resistance to being alone hearing voices from above strange resistance to showing your affection strange resistance to love and if you want it that way there ain't nothing i can do the sun's gonna shine if you want it to and if your sense of pride takes priority here you better separate the truth from the fear
