1. HEAVEN

Heaven
Is such a nice place
You never loved me
You never cared
Wrap me in chains
For a million years
And I won't care
Yes it could be magic
Just for you to be with me
In heaven, my heaven
Oh, angel, my little angel
You did me harm
You told me lies
And took away my every dream
Oh, heaven
Is such a nice place
You never loved me
You never cared


2. LOVE LASTS FOREVER

I know all your secrets
Please little girl
I like the way you frightened,
It makes me feel secure
Your eyes say something special
“We can run away”
Pushed against the wall
Never are we wrong
You can hold my hand
We can be strong
A thousand ways to show I care
I could give you anything
I could give you everything
I like the way you're frightened…

Please close your eyes
So you cannot see
Go to sleep
Dream of happy things
Blue sky above
Hell waits below
Angels dancing
Angels falling

Devil looks at me
Spits into my eyes
Angels dead
Angels dead
Our love will last forever
Our love will last forever
Until the day it dies
Until the day it dies…


3. I AM GOD

Waiting for midnight
Waiting for bad dreams (no silver, no gold)
How can I talk with you
I have no words.
Stranger… I have been here before.
You stretch me sleepless upon my bed
Shut out the cold, kneel and pray
I will go to sleep
Waiting for midnight
Waiting for bad dreams (no silver, no gold)
I have no need for your sweet world
No need for your hell
I have no need for anything
I am God
I know someone happy
I am God
Shut out the cold, kneel and pray
I am God


4. SONS FIND DEVILS

Drink! Drink!Drink to our fathers
For they are real men and we are just boys
Boys! Boys! In games playing dangerous
And blood of baby must be spilt
To make up for our daddy's guilt
It's all I ever wished for
And all I ever wanted
All I ever wished for
All I ever wanted
So sons find devils when dreams lie dead
There's little in giving
There's little in taking
Come please take me away
Come please lead me astray
Oh, now here we go, oh here we go again

Lock me up mother
Send me to bed
I need to sleep
I need to dream.

Love! Love! We all love to be loved
So give me a flower a red, red rose
And together we can love and laugh and cry
Cry! Cry! We all can die but nobody really wants to
So give me a drink and dry, dry my eyes
It's all I ever wished for
And all I ever wanted
All I ever wished for
All I ever wanted
So sons find devils when dreams lie dead
There's little in giving
There's little in drinking
Would you kindly show me the way to hell
Only God knows, only he knows
Who knows? God knows!

Lock me up mother
Send me to bed
I need to sleep
I need to dream
I need to dream and dance and laugh and sin and lie
For tomorrow I may die
Tomorrow has come! Where's tonight?
Gimme a cigarette, hey you!
Have you got a light?
I need to sleep
I need to dream…


5. ALONE

Please take me far away
Our tomorrows we'll live today
So sad when fear takes hold
All the secrets never told
Forever changing the people I know
Behind my back they talk of me
But I, I don't need to know

Where are they now?
Where are they now?
All those laughing faces
All those lying smiles
Locked away forever
Locked away forever
I've thrown away
I've thrown away the key
Don't try to tell me
No-one understands

Leave me alone…


6. THE MOON LOOKED DOWN AND LAUGHED

The moon has eyes and watches me
As I go to sleep
I've caught so many falling stars
There's holes in my hands
Such a tale I could tell you
Oh, I will take one more step
Get down on your knees, crawl!
Another dead soldier - me that's all

Take a chance
Take a chance today
Fall in love - run away
True bliss for a couple of hours
Picking up the vainest loving flowers
Brothers! Sisters! Mothers too
A chip on my shoulder as I get older
Hey, buy me a drink and I'll be like you
Can't walk, can't sleep, can't think
My eyes deceive me my friends are freaks
A lover or a liar in the midnight sun
A lover or a liar, oh which one?
Oh leave me, or love me, I'm everyone's fool
Confusion! Oh my Jesus guilt
“Am I man enough to take this?”
Get out of my way
Get out of my way
You should know better
Is pain the only comfort?
Is pain the only comfort?
My luck is where I fall
Acceptance! Deliverance!
Who? Who am I fooling?
Tomorrows never come
I am the meat
I am the murder
The eye of the fork
This man must walk
Oh no! Oh no!
I'm just one step, two steps, three steps away
Oh the moon looked down and laughed…
Hey blue moon, you saw me standing alone
Without a love of my own


7. UNCLE ARTHUR'S LONELY WORLD

Uncle Arthur went to work
Came home from work
Like he always does
There's so many lonely people in the world
He's just one of them
Uncle Arthur was looking out the window
The day the stone came through the window
The glass hit him in the face
The blood runs down his cheek
But no-one really cares about a lonely man
Living his lonely life
Uncle Arthur sometimes wishes he was dead
But he's got to keep on living his life
The best he can
Oh, oh, lonely as he'll ever be
Oh, oh, lonely as he'll ever be
Uncle Arthur and all the lonely people in the world
Sometimes, you know you've got to be kind of them
Never had a television
Never had a radio
Never saw Dracula
Never saw Frankestein
He lives in his own world
In his own cartoon world
No-one cares, no-one really knows.
Oh, oh lonely as he'll ever be…
Oh don't talk about the lonely people
They all seem to be in such pain
Their life is a lot of pain
I don't know, no I don't know
What the world is coming to


8. DON'T LOOK BACK

The fly in the ointment
The hole in your head
Pretty little visions of honeymoon gold
Shame! Shame! Shame!
What a terrible shame
Let's all sing of the tortured heart
Flesh and the devil
Live and let live
Shame! Shame! Shame!
What a terrible shame
Let's all sing of the tortured heart

The shame in your eyes
Shows through your lost lust
All you touch turns to dust
With you I could change the world…
With you I could change the world
But you don't see the world with eyes
That see the world like me
“Don't look back, don't you talk
Not a word to leave your mouth”

You savage head spider
Killing off the flies
Another horror story
You fill them up with lies
Shame! Shame! Shame
Let's all sing it!

“All the things we have / All the things we want
All the things we share / All the things we hide
All the things we hate / All things we love

“Don't look back, don't you talk
Not a word to leave your mouth”
I hate you baby
I love you more


9. BETRAYAL

I dreamt I loved you
Woke up knowing I do
Sunken in dreams of delight
Your tender touch told me you cared
For I am a fool romantic
For I am a fool romantic
Betrayal…
The words we shared do they mean nothing?
I tear my soul to ease this pain
My friends say you're doing well
My friends say you're so different
When we laughed we laughed together
Now I cry
I cry for you
For I am a fool romantic
For I am a fool romantic.
Betrayal…
My whole world is on fire
My whole world is on fire
Betrayal…
The day we met we'd best forget
It was a dream, it was a dream…
The sky turns black, black like smoke
You put your tongue inside my mouth
Only liars choke, only liars choke
My whole world is on fire
My whole world is on fire
Your cowardly kiss is what I need
Your cowardly kiss is what I need


10. DEADLY SINS

Would you not take this upon yourself?
Would you not take this upon yourself?
Let's all fall in love
Because love is like a flower
Because love is like they sing in songs
La la la love
With lips to kiss
Pretending we're fire we could keep warm
With hearts held between our legs
Love is right and never wrong
It's like they sing in songs
They sing la la la love
I've broken all of my promises
I've broken all of my promises
But I'll love you till the day I die
I'll love ya
La la love you
I'll love you till the day I die…
I've broken all of my promises
I could have been so good for you
I could have danced all night
With your eyes the size of an ocean
Gimme love! Gimme love!
Let me fuck you
I'll love you till the day I die…
