KITTREDGE
Conspiracies on darkened nights.
They shape events.
And rivalries combine
With so-called accidents.
I live on the East side.
I wait for the long nights.
I kid myself that I'm gonna shut 'em down.
To let it out you have to shout about it.
They'll tear you apart unless you're sure about it.

S.O.F.T
Lay me down and love me.
I'm all that I can be, but I missed again.
There's a wedding in Reading
And it's sad old fucker time.
(Oooohh, sad old fucker time)
(Oooohh, sad old fucker)
Stupid job, stupid clothes.
Stupid hair, stupid homes.
Dumb read, dumb shoes,
Sad fucker gonna lose.
Positive thought just 6 feet short.
I got a good deal on a new personality.
But don't come around here 'cos I'll hide.
Nothing is where it's supposed to be.
(Oooohh, sad old fucker time)
(Oooohh, sad old fucker)
Stupid job, stupid clothes.
Stupid hair, stupid homes.
Dumb read, dumb shoes,
Got the gun sucking blues

PAINLESS
You're showing yourself up so bad.
Always going back on your promises.
I can't believe you anymore
Didn't know it could get as bad as this.
I've been looking for an honesty.
I can't seem to find it anywhere.
The stink is so bad in this rat hole.
I'd better buy myself some fresh air.
But don't you worry,
Because it's painless when you're buried.
It's so painless.
It's just your point of view.
That's all I'm holding you to.
You think I think you're playing...
I wasn't going to say it.

EVENING STAR
Ken's been selling papers
Everyday for a hundred years
Or so it seems to me.
I come and go but he's always there.
When I get back
Counting his coppers in the corner of the room.
When I get back
Binman's been searching these streets a long time.
Been going through the rubbish chin in hand.
I come & go but he's always there
When I get back
Holding his order-book & standing in a line
When I get back

BOBBY TOLD ME
She said, "I've got it written in a book
And I'll tell the world on Monday.
Because I'm tired of being used & dumped.
I'll let you know what Bobby told me."
I said, "Have you told anyone else about this?"
The phone is ringing, "It's me & I'm helpless.
Come over and see me tonight.
Come over and save me tonight,
But don't tell anyone else about this."
I'm not sorry for you.
Bobby's girl is turning blue.
"Book me on a charter flight.
Just get me out of L.A."
I said, "This is dangerous stuff."
"She had to die, I guess that's too tough,
And don't tell anyone you saw me here today."

WALKING APPETITES
Life is lived by other people's rules.
Long-dead arbiters of moralistic fire.
Principles are adapted and adopted.
Just to suit the times.
We have no choice we are not free
We are of some thing.
We have no voice we cannot see
We return to nothing.
We can ask questions or we can live & die.
We can ask questions or we can close our eyes.
We're told what to wear/eat/hear.
You cannot buy what's not there.
We're told what to read/watch/need.
You cannot buy what's not there.
Why did you smoke when you were 10 years old?
Why do you do everything that you've been told?

BANG JUICE
It's everywhere, I've got people in my hair.
I haven't got that much to spare
And it really isn't fair, it really isn't fair.
It isn't right, that's no way to spend your life.
Waiting for the fish to bite.
And beating up your wife.
You shouldn't beat up your wife.
Jerry Lee. How much does he see?
Is it more than you or me?
He's as mad as can be.
Phil & Don, they just could not get on.
They were together for so long.
And now one of them has gone
Cousin Dan, he nearly drowned in a can.
But he was saved by Mr Ham.
And he grew to be a man.
You're gonna lose.
You've already cooked your goose.
Shot up too much blues.
And you've used up all your Bang Juice.
