Finest Drops Lyrics

[Verse 1]
The island monkeys love the dark
No one is home, they're thin-skinned sharks
Hue exchanging gives sea-leg walks
No one is home, the chemicals talk
[Chorus]
Load up the spoiled goods
Hook up the spoiled gods
Fill up the kindness cups
Drink up the finest drops
[Verse 2]
Feeding frenzy, sleepless attacks
No one is home, power attracts
Death on a raft, life in a whale
No one is home to finish the tale
[Chorus]
Load up the spoiled goods
Hook up the spoiled gods
Fill up the kindness cups
Drink up the finest drops
Load up the spoiled goods (Thank you!)
Hook up the spoiled gods
Fill up the kindness cups
Drink up the finest drops
[Verse 3]
Paint it in red, light it in blue
No one is home over at zoo
Lashing together, a timbre design
No one is home, no one is blind
[Chorus]
Load up the spoiled goods
Hook up the spoiled gods
Fill up the kindness cups
Drink up the finest drops
[Verse 4]
The last boat launched, cling to the rail
No one is home, they're in full sail
Forging chains, caught on the tracks
No one is home, they're not coming back
[Chorus]
Load up the spoiled goods
Hook up the spoiled gods
Fill up the kindness cups
Drink up the finest drops
[Verse 5]
The island monkeys love the dark
No one is home, they've gone for a walk
The island monkeys love the dark
No one is home, the chemicals talk
[Chorus]
Load up the spoiled goods
Hook up the spoiled gods
Fill up the kindness cups
Drink up the finest drops
[Outro]
Load up
Hook up
Fill up

German Shepherds Lyrics

3 ContributorsGerman Shepherds LyricsI saw three dogs flying, there was a man on the end
Squaring a circle and studying its end
I saw a drunk old lady pissing in a bin
It was far too high, she couldn't stop
The man with the photograph failed to appear
In that kind of rain where an umbrella's no use
The bird lay bleeding, I couldn't break its neck
I get anonymous footbells from a pope I never met
Don't start me off
It's beginning, to, and back again
Don't start me off
Right now there's a man who could take advantage
I wouldn't like to spend an hour locked inside him
He always had an eye for it, we all threw a shoe
Nicely underlined, our table turned again

Public Place Lyrics

5 ContributorsPublic Place LyricsIn this public place
Pigeons move busily
Through the contents
Of a man's life
In this public place
His last mortal remains
Reflect a private lake
In this public place
Lies fly in formation
Candid fiction spreads its wings
It's deceptive at this angle
Does truth dance?
Does truth sing?
The private hedge pissers
In anxious alleys
The village boy-wide-men
With a game on their hands
Wait for the sign
That will take them to Heaven
Wait for the sign
Only they understand
In this public place
A carved tree
Burst through an atheist's heart
And broken promises
Drifted into the shape of footprints
In this public place
Lies fly in-formation
Candid fiction spreads its wings

It’s a Boy Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Hook fear lashing
Spit-gas sinking
Tired reflections
In a broken eye
[Chorus]
You're a strange one
Are there any more like you?
You're a rare one
I want one too
[Verse 2]
Head collectors
Private view
Flood damaged
In a baby plague
[Chorus]
You're a strange one
Are there any more like you?
You're a rare one
I want one too
[Verse 3]
Effete means funny dreams
Offence on refusal
Look out Dr. Up
It's a boy as usual
[Chorus]
You're a strange one
Are there any more like you?
You're a rare one
I want one too

Illuminated Lyrics

[What have you done?]
[Give them the chop?]

Eardrum Buzz (12″ version) Lyrics

6 ContributorsEardrum Buzz LyricsNo switch in this dark, but you search anyway
This is the night, here in the day
One thing remains perfectly clear
It's the buzz buzz buzz in the drum of the ear
Zee zee zee, zum zum
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz in the eardrum
Now you live in the world of the wave
And you scratch your name on the walls of the cave
Instincts never leave you perfectly clear
There's always a buzz buzz buzz in the drum of the ear
Zee zee zee, zum zum
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz in the eardrum
Marco Polo has lost his way
The Louisville Lip has nothing to say
One thing remains perfectly clear
The buzz buzz buzz in the drum of the ear
Zee zee zee, zum zum
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz in the eardrum
Custard Jack has lost his Mac
Captain Flash won't give it back
It seemed to them both perfectly clear
The buzz buzz buzz in the drum of the ear
Buffalo Bill, deprived of will
Chasing a hamburger down the hill
It seemed to him perfectly clear
The buzz buzz buzz in the drum of the ear
Zee zee zee, zum zum
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz in the eardrum
Adolf turned out very nice
Hannibal is afraid of mice
One thing remains perfectly clear
It's the buzz buzz buzz in the drum of the ear
Zee zee zee, zum zum
Buzz buzz, buzz buzz in the eardrum

The Offer Lyrics

3 ContributorsThe Offer LyricsI got to be for the offer of virtue
Once in and taken apart
This is the shape of interference
Please don't adjust your heart
Now touching the edges of something
Wanting to find truer response
Could I ever erase the influence?
Brushing in against what's (already) understood
Dredging shifting basing phrasing
Once in and taken to heart
I fought your red colour
I scratch your head again
Staring trying embracing gazing
I shot your silver dollar
Fill the space within your heart
You wear my golden collar
