Sing For Me

Stand up straight
let me take a
look at you
let me see
the face behind the
catcall
Look at me
answer when I
speak to you
answer so the
audience can
hear
Sing for me
let me hear a verse
your voice could use
rehearsing
Honestly,
I'd love to see you hung
I'd love to see you choke
on your tongue
Do you like
the feeling of
eyes on you?
the feeling of
voices in
your head?
Can you write
a song for us
all to sing?
a song to bring
all of us
together?
Sing for me
let me hear a verse
your voice could use
rehearsing
Honestly,
I'd like you to behave
I'd like to take a piss
on your grave

Vespertine

Coffee with cream
and "Vespertine"
on a sunny Sunday morning
undressing while the bath tub
is warming up
I close my eyes
take a deep breath and
I sigh
when I think about the guy
that I'm seeing soon
He's standing outside my door
I'm standing still hoping for
a mate
that's worth the wait
it's been two years
since my last date
my Mother says
I'm such a mess
but I won't play
the damsel in distress
Making small talk
on a blanket in the park
watching happy couples walk by
hand in hand
You say your dream
is having two boys maybe three
and a wife who'll cook and clean
on demand
You solemnly hold my hand
I'm silently hatching plans
to make
a quick escape
this date has proved
a huge mistake
I'm sure you think
you're wonderful
but I'll tell you
you haven't got a clue
And did you think that I'd be smitten
by this fantasy you've written?
I could never wear the skin
of the role you'd cast me in
You're standing outside my door
I'm standing still hoping for
a mate
that's worth the wait
it's been two years
since my last date
I'm sure you think
I'm such a mess
but I won't play
the damsel in distress

Let's Make A Racket
03:22

I've always been anxious,
shy, and nervous
I'm the kid in the corner
when the party's on
No education
no qualifications
just a semi-literate
degenerate
I've always been restless,
wild, and reckless
I'm a kamikaze
in a vintage dress
I'm having a vision
I've made a big decision
I'll be the singer
you can play guitar
What's the point
in living alone?
reliving old dreams
through my headphones
Where's the fun
in singing a solo?
I need your voice
to follow
I'm writing a new song
about a pair of lifelong
friends in a secret room
playing make believe
Let's make a racket
the working world's in traffic
trying hard to recall
the point of it all
What's the point
in living alone?
Reliving old dreams
through my headphones
Where's the fun
in singing a solo?
I need your voice
to follow
