Geranium

Geranium, your name is old like evolution
The insects gather but the queen is only one
Take in the sunlight it's your energy solution
The queen extends a sword that glitters in the sun
(far...away...)
In meadows far away so many raise their heads
So many colours where the river wanders by
And as the sun goes down the flowers in their beds
Fold up like Elven wings beneath the reddened sky
Here comes the night.
Geranium, your radiance is fiery sunlight
A sea of nettles rise and sway upon the breeze
The circle of your mind is beckoning the minions
The little lives of things with dust upon their knees
(pollenate,,,)
In meadows far away the shiny creatures play
To understand the balance breathing in and out
The insects run amok, the river runs away
The sun will set and moth-like things will flit about
Here comes the night...
Stone Geranium!

Frog Tracks Northwest
05:07

We found fresh frog tracks, leading to the northwest
Pacific Ocean rolling over mud of bygone days
Frogs in the ocean, dying as they burn in salt
Frogs will boil in lava with a smile upon their face
Ring the bell, dingalingadingdong!! Ring the bell!
Frogs can evolve no further, they cannot ring the bells
Toads and commie bell-boys, don't tell me to ring no bells.
Stand on your hind legs, if you can
You won't be ringing any bells.

Freedom Kicks

This is a public information broadcast:
Democracy dictates that censorship by governing state
must be applied with regulations, rules, and
limitation application tools.
Every new conspiracy will lock us up and kill the free,
Sanitise! Sanitise!
Open eyes and see the dance, they're leave nothing
seen to chance, Damn your eyes! Damn your eyes!
Everything's a lie now, lies are plain to see
No more cash or freedom left for you and me
Media feed ya media full of bullshit
Turn around you'll find they blocked the exit
Every new...
We're all a bunch of imbeciles who can't behave
Dance like monkeys waiting for the second wave
Stupid zombie got a bar-code on your head
Decapitate yourself you might as well be dead
When you going to be released from >>>>>>>>>
What you gonna find when you go into town
All the zombies queueing for the cash machine
Plastic money's hot to swipe and hands are clean
Every new...

Glorify
05:41
|

|
Ten stations far beyond the seventh sister star
My vessel grounded port to a culture so bizarre
They wear no clothes in forests filled with giant ferns
Their losers make more profit than a winner earns
I met a ladybird whose house was built of tears
Great drops of resin fall from trees of million years
She sailed a boat upon a silver burning lake
She spoke my mind so I was dreaming wide awake
Glorify!
In other circumstances I would fly away
But songs of love will take my conscience every day
She does not warn me when she casts aloft her mind
I cannot break the spell of such an alien kind
My ship is broke inside the gates of Station Ten
I lost my fortune when I crawled into her den
She sails her boat upon the silver burning lake
She calls my mind in dreams and so when I awake..
So far from home I fear I'll never find a way
The moon is rising when she ventures out to play
She sails a boat upon the silver burning lake
She drowns my mind in fire while all my thoughts
she'll take.
I reject her, She recalls me, I fall down to wait before her
Glorify!

Heebie-Jeebies

I got the heebie-jeebies!
My skin is crawling everywhere
My baby held me up with a steam iron
An' neatly fold my skin upon a chair
She take me for a walk, the wind is in my bones,
She whisper in my ear with her heebie-jeebie tones
Hang out in the park, she hang me out to dry
Then she comes a'wriggling. and she will make me cry -
I got the heebie-jeebies, yeah yeah yeah!
I got the heebie-jeebies, what do you care?!
Intelligent animals get psychic clues,
I just clued up but I still can't find my shoes.
I hide beneath the bed, she's ironing the sheets,
I'm drinking all the gravy, she's eaten all the meats.
I run into the woods, the heebie-jeebies bark
They're nailing up the trees and the sky is growing dark.
Mummy mummy I don't think it's funny
Heebie-jeebies talking all your money
Whisper in your ear, the bugs are crawling in
They're wiping all the wax on your little chinny-chin
Knocking on the door, climbing on the roof
They got the testimony but they'll never find the proof!
Mummymummymummmymumumumum heebyjeeby
heebyjeebyheeeebeeee... Mother! Oh Mother... etc

Chrysanthemum
04:44

Friends and fathers, words and names at play
Beware the foaming sea, come home some other way.
I, hold you, in collapsing arms, nothing so disarms
Like a smile upon your face.
Funny words, we try so hard to tame,
Chrysanthemum's the word, the meaning is the game.
I, scold you, nasty words so shrill, in truth our words can kill
I won't stop my stubborn pride. Find me where I hide.
Far away, the sailors shed their tears
They know they're going to die,
They went to face their fears...
Ship, splintered wood and ragged cloth,
Drowned in salty froth!
They sadly won't repent, their consciences are spent!
Sadly won't repent! Consciences all spent!
(The mad bastards returned to Pirates Cave, but the
Treasure chest was gone, and in its place there was
a gold vase, full of chrysanthemums!)
Out to sea the gulls turn to the West,
The wind blows to the shore, they'll find high ground to nest.
I, hate it, when you come to cry, don't like to be afraid,
How I WISH you'd all behave. WHY don't you behave?

Quantum Man

Come, meet Quantum Dan
A most remarkable man
He walks sideways like a crab, 'cos it keeps off the excess flab
He lives inside a space located out of outer space
His socks are inside out and his insanity's in doubt.
Take a little leaf from Quantum Dan
Knock him with a feather if you can
Leave him in the sun and he will shine
Tell him he's a head-case, he don't mind.
He looks a little sniffy if you bring him some good news,
But make it controversial and he will clean your shoes
Tell him he's a parrot and he'll squawk and ring a bell
Disinfect his trousers and he'll ask you: What's that smell?
Take a little leaf from Quantum Dan
You can learn a lot from Quantum Dan!
Theorising liberally from the sanctity of bed,
His views on quantum particles particularly said (if you)
Take a photon multiplied by quantum blah-dee-blah,
Abuse the first hypotenuse from the distance of a star
Triangulate the obvious and calculate its force
You'll harness it so tightly you could irritate a horse!
