So and Slow It Grows Lyrics
3 ContributorsSo and Slow It Grows LyricsSlow so slow and so it grows
Slow and slow and so it grows
Slow so slow and so it grows
Slow and slow and so it grows
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if you're captivating
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if you're charged and waiting
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if you're celebrating
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if you're hesitating
Slow so slow and so it grows
And so it shows and so it grows
And so it's slow so slow it grows
It's slow it shows for those who grow
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if you're fascinating
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if you're scintillating
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if your breath's escaping
It's just for now, it's just for now
Even if it makes you happy

Push out the voltage, keep up the squeeze
Give me the credit with interest please
I'm here to borrow, I'm here to lend
I'm here to save and I'm here to spend
Footsi-footsi
Footsi-footsi
The numbers travel in electric trade
Men are broken, men are made
Cash and carry, dollars and yen
The world is bent then round again
If you believe in give and take
(Footsi-footsi)
And all the things that you can make
(Footsi-footsi)
In between the ins and outs
(Footsi-footsi)
Channeled life without a doubt
(Footsi-footsi)
If you believe in give and take
And all the things that you can make
In between the ins and outs
Channeled life without a doubt
Give me the money, listen I care
Guilt edged horizons are under repair
I'm in the market, I'm in the chair
I've got a target, and I want my share

Leisure and plastic and medical mines
Mace and Chanel, breweries and wine
Public order, a coin of two sides
I'm ready to choose and I'm ready to fire
If you believe in give and take
(Footsi-footsi)
And all the things that you can make
(Footsi-footsi)
In between the ins and outs
(Footsi-footsi)
Channeled life without a doubt
(Footsi-footsi)
Push out the voltage, keep up the squeeze
Give me the credit with interest please
I'm here to borrow, I'm here to lend
I'm here to save, I'm here to spend
If you believe in give and take

Ticking Mouth Lyrics
3 ContributorsTicking Mouth LyricsSmiles like bullets, looks that could kill
Don't be caught with a hand in the thrill
Not always a matter of choice
And I hear a ticking in your voice
A numbing cold that weakens the will
A wining way that sweetens the pill
Not always a matter of choice
And I hear a ticking in your voice
Close together, we stand apart
Is that a ticking in your heart?
And I hear a ticking in your heart
A raging silence that lies cannot fill
A numbing cold that weakens the will
Not always a matter of choice
And I hear a ticking in your voice
Is that a ticking in your voice?
Tailor Made Lyrics
3 ContributorsTailor Made LyricsGet on parade
Tailor made
Get on the parade, your place in the sun
Uniforms suit everyone
Made to measure, you'll like the shade
Fits like a glove, you're tailor made
Give them the slip, new suits are made
Full protection guaranteed
Your belief will be repaid
Target rich our techno trade
Reliable, reliable witness
In the room full of tame Mary's
It's hard to find the truth
If you ask me, "Is this normal?"
I'll say, "I've got the proof"
In the room full of tame Mary's
It's hard to find the truth
If you ask me, "Is it normal?"
You'll find me on the roof
(Searching for the truth)
Get on parade, a full display
Heed the warning, please don't delay
A shading of eyes, a turning of heads
A dig in the shallows, a collection of lead
No Cows on the Ice Lyrics
3 ContributorsNo Cows on the Ice LyricsIs it true? It's enough for you
Is it true? Or as before
Is it true? You still need more
Is it true? No marks are left
Is it true? Upon the snow
Is it true? No one will know
No cows on the ice
Every dog has its day
Whilst the cat's away
Blind mice will play
Can it be? Or is it true?
Can it be? There's nothing new
Can it be? It's new to me
Can it be? You milked the moon
Can it be? You jumped too soon
Can it be? You milked the moon
Is it true? Your days are long
And what was right has become wrong
In a room without a view
Your past slips by, no calls come through
A Big Glue Canal Lyrics
3 ContributorsA Big Glue Canal LyricsA big glue canal, sweeping strain
Princess high, you scuzzy royal
The calendar reach of carbon daters
The lowest layers give the richest soup
Drop your guard, drink oyster dredge
Natives stroke long lost remains
Interrelating ideas
Diagnostic tools appear
Please oh please don't put it there
Bang, bang, bang you the killer bees
