We Are Animals
1. Tiny daggers slit the seams
Of our teenage fantasies
Bleak reminders appear again
Like a wreath on a hairpin bend
From the night club mezzanine
You can hear the mating screams:
We are animals! We are animals!
2. They shoot to thrill, they hunt in packs
No sudden moves now, just the facts
When they see the whites of your eyes
Don't bother to run, don't bother to try
Just kiss your peachy ass goodbye
As they exalt their battle cry
We are animals! We are animals!
3. Oh they've got you in a trap
And sixty minutes you'll never get back
Another vodka martini and a sambuca chasers'
Gonna put you in a bad way later
Alpha male, mother of the pride
Alpha male, mother of the pride
We are animals! We are animals!
And now you're looking for an off switch
You're desperately looking for a way out
Running into one way traffic
But look below the exit sign
The masses come out, the masses come out
And when the masses come out
We all get deported
4. Diddly qua qua baboon pants
Diddly qua qua liver spot hands
Alpha male sees the coward you are
Alpha female grabbing your arse
From the night club latrine
You can hear the mating screams:
We are animals! We are animals!
The masses come out, the masses come out
And when the masses come out
We all get deported
We are animals! We are animals!
Alpha male sees the coward you are
Alpha female holds the cards
We are animals! We are animals!
We are animals!

End Credits
When I saw you last night
You were truly radiant
And we were together again
You got into my dream
Through a crack in the loneliness
'Cause I'd been trying to pretend
That we were still friends
But I'm tired of writing I miss you, the end
Stay away, stay away
Stay away, you gotta stay away
Roll end credits
Leave your seat
Well tonight I'm the Baron
I'm the Duke, I'm the Prince of rails
And I'm never coming down again
I wanna mix like Flash
I wanna paint like Basquiat
And all the times I took your crap
Are gonna wash out again
But in the end
We all need someone
Who we can kick against

Young People
Young people are so naiive
Young people are smooth
And sweet and clean
They dream impossible dreams
And make love like confused machines
Young people got it all worked out
Any place in the World you go
Young people on the stereo
They say, "gimme a kiss
And I'll show you a trick I know"
Create an alibi, slip out the window
You've got a beautiful body
But it won't last forever, no
See the men in their forties
Fight the urge to let it show
Until they get back home
Out of the sodium glow and then it's...
And now we're friends
With the beautiful ones
Because the young people's music sucks so
So we give 'em a hand
'Cause there's so little they really know
Young people think they know it all
Take your foot off the third rail
No one cares what you took last night
It's old
We got resilient bodies but
It's 6am, we got no subway fare and it's cold
Are you about to fold?
C'mon, do what you're told and twist it
Young people are so naiive
Young people are hot and peachy keen
They dream impossible dreams
And make love like surprised machines
Young people got it all worked out

Three Little Words
I’m gazing at you through sambuca fumes
And you’re gorgeous
Inches away from that raven black mane
It’s torture
I was trying to be cool and aloof
Now I’m hung up on you, girl
It seems so absurd how three little words
Could have turned you around
Nothing stimulates the brain
Like heartache and pain and I’m broken
It’s coming like waves
And I can’t keep my head above the water
You waited in vain
Yes, you waited for some kind of sign
It seems so absurd how three little words
Could have turned you around
Bye bye, baby bye bye
So long I delayed
So long that I have been running
So set in my ways
That I never saw the end coming
And I’m kicking mysELF
For not coming right out and saying
I love you, I love you
I love you, I love you, I love you
It seems so absurd
How those three little words
Could have turned you around

The Fantasy Of Her
Don't try to fool me with your fantasy
You know I've seen that face before
If I were you and you me and he she
You wouldn't open up that door
I really thought it would feel good this time
But you don't treat me like you should
I came crawling after
For a bit of hows yer father
But you don't treat me like you should
And now we find ourselves in paradise
Twenty dollar cover charge
The young meat glows
Beneath the neon lights
Turning tricks and taking steps
To higher education

Hard To Say Goodbye
"What was I?
Was I worth the debris left behind?
Slip away
I don't want you to see me this way"
Now it feels so strange when I see my face
Reflected in your eyes
After all these years
It's so hard to say goodbye
"No regrets
I'm a liar and now my pants are on fire
I withheld so much
But in the end all you needed was love"
Though I wanted to make peace with you
We never had the time
After all these years
It's so hard to say goodbye
Will I ever make the pieces fit
Or find the reasons why?
After all these years
It's so hard to say goodbye

Lines
There are lines on your body
From the people
And the places you've been
There are pores and they're gaping
And they're waiting
For the fun to kick in
It's okay - do what you want
It's okay if it makes you feel better
There are tender spots on your body
From the boys who didn't know
How to handle with care
Like a trick, like a treat, like a piece of meat
They're gonna break you
'Til they find whats in there
I was stuck with an impossible friend
But it's over, it's over
And now I know it was wrong to pretend
'Cause I'm older, so much older
It’s over
but is it really over?
Lines lines lines lines

Red Eye
Can't you come back
On the red eye
I need you this evening
There's too much space in this bed
And there's trouble ahead
Can't you see it
Don't fake me out tonight
I know that you still care
But you know I won't fight
I'm not the kind of guy who goes there
Once I was fine
I had time
Even though I was lonely
But since you came around
I've grown used to the way
You control me
You're turning out the light
On things we left unsaid
Deep down you know I'm right
But alright, goodnight, you win
It’s over

Kinky Boots
I must confess she relieves my stress
When she's in that dress yeh yeh yeh yes
Well, I tracked her dow
From the smell of sexcess
To Snow Queen eyes and everlasting legs
But when I said I was hungry
For some room to roam
You know, experimentation
She said "stick to your own"
She had
Kohl eyes, Long hair, Hot Legs, Kinky boots
Why go to Iraq when you got that rack?
I wanna take her to space
'Cause zero gravity
Would have a freakin' coronary
I asked her
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 times
And when I asked her again
She said, "leave me alone!"
She said,
“Well, come on
Whip it out
I wanna see what all the fuss is about”
Well, alright!
So, now you're my girl
Would you hold me in your arms
So I can gaze at your pendulous charms?
They make me feel sexual, almost intellectual
As I marvel at the mass

We Are Spiders
We come in peace, we mean you no harm
Not really!
We are small yet powerful, quite clearly
In your cupboards, in your clothes
We are everywhere
We make ourselves invisible
That’s why you can feel us
But you can't see us there
What's that shape in your peripherals
Crawling down the stairs?
Maybe we'll get you and eat you up
You should be scared
Did we come from outer space
A billion years ago?
Were we once a hundred feet high?
Guess you'll never know until we grow
I can see them running down the stairs tonight
I can see them running through your hair tonight. We Are Spiders!
Eight eyes to track you down
Eight legs to hold you down

Long Road
There's something in the way
You say my name
There's something in the way
You slow my brain
There's nothing in the world
I'd rather do
Than drive along the long long road
That leads to you
There's something in the way
You walk in a room
There's something in the way
You're gone too soon
There's nothing in the world
I'd rather do
Than drive along the long long road
That leads to you
You don't ask questions
You don't need to ask
And when I really really need it
You kick my ass
I've got a lot of fantasies and crazy dreams
But you can make them real
There's something in the way
Your hand fits mine
And there's nothing in the way
No space or time
There's nowhere in the world
I'd rather be
Than driving on a long long road
With you next to me
Than driving on a long long road
With you next to me
Everybody knows, it's true
I have fallen for you
To see your face behind that old wood door
There's nothing I want more
There's something in the way
You make me laugh
There's something in the way
You're okay with my past
And if it comes around to ask what's new
I'll say I'm on the long long road
That leads to you
I'm driving on the long long road
That leads to you

Growing Up
Me and my shadow walk to the bus stop
Maybe you'll be there
with your lovely 80s hair
I am growing up and it's confusing me
Are you perusing me?
Fags on the swing, smoke makes me sick
Too soon to say but I'll say it anyway
Or let the moment slip away
That could've changed everything
Now it don't mean a thing
Life in an English boarding school
Is jolly, rough and gay
The boys take showers
And the schoolmasters
Are never never far away
It's the way it's been for a 100 years
Traditionally British
And ever so slightly queer
Oh, life in an English boarding school
Is much as you'd expect
Failure to comply by the rules
Will result in a fate
Far far far worse than death!
And always stand erect!!
Hey hey mama
Why won't you let me come home?
Why don't you let me come home?
I wanna go home
Why don't you let me pack my bags
And come home?

I Thought About You

I Thought About You
Hungry eyes over your marble skin
My face in your long dark hair
Baby, it's true
Don't know how I'd ever get over you
If I wanted to
Yesterday I thought about West End plays
I dreamt about viaducts
Under the stars
Felt the pain wash over like acid rain
And thought about you
Broken eyes
Breathing in dawn's first light
'Cause deep in the darkest night
I thought about you
Pawned and played
I fell on my knees and prayed
And thought about you
Wondering if I could turn back time
If I could change your mind
Is that what I'd want?
When I doubt that I'm gonna make it through
I think about you
Broken lines
I'm weak in your almond eyes
'Cause deep in the darkest night
I thought about you
Pawned and played
I fell on my knees and prayed
What can I do?
Late at night away from the neon lights
Far from the post-pub fights
Under the moon
Understand that when I held her hand
I thought about you
