(ALBUM) FROGSTOMP


1. ISRAEL'S SON

Hate, is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
Your late, for the execution
If your not here soon, I'll kill a friend instead

All the pain, I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to

I hate you, and your apathy
You can leave, you can leave
I don't want you here
I'm playin this pantomime
But I don't see ya showing any signs of fear

All the pain, I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to
This time I'm for real
You will be dead when I'm through

Hate, is what I feel for you
And I want you to know that I want you dead
Your late, for the execution
If your not here soon I'll kill your friend instead

All the pain, I feel
Couldn't start to heal
Although I would like it to
This time I'm for real
My pain cannot hear you
You will be dead when I'm through
Ohhh, ohhhhhh

Pain, and execution
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
In the air

Aaaarrggghhhh
I am, I am israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air

I am, I am israel's son
Israel's son I am
Put your hands in the air
Put your hands in the air
Aaaarrggghhhh, yeah


2. TOMORROW

It's twelve o'clock, and it's a wonderful day
I know you hate me, but I'll ask anyway
Won't you come with me, to a place in a little town
The only way to get there's to go straight down
There's no bathroom, and there is no sink
The water out of the tap is very, hard to drink
Very hard to drink

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow

You say that money, isn't everything
But I'd like to see you live without it
You think you can keep on going living like a king
Oohh babe, but I strongly doubt it

Very hard to drink
Very hard to drink
You gonna wait too, fat boy
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow
You gonna wait too, fat boy
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow

You, wait til tomorrow
You, wait til tomorrow
You gonna wait too, fat boy
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow
You gonna wait too, fat boy
Fat boy, wait til tomorrow.


3. FAULTLINE

Unexpecting brother
Doesn't know what to do
When everything just falls to the ground, ohh
He runs to find some cover
He doesn't have a clue
That his friend will never be found
When he's informed, that he
Will never see the boy
Will never see the boy
You'll never see him open his eyes
We'll never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh

Thinking of the past
It's all over now
Mother nature's striked once again
It happened oh so fast
Now the question's how
How could they let that building descend
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh
You will never see the boy
You will never see the boy
You will never see him open his eyes
You will never see the boy
Never see the boy
You'll only hear his heavenly cries
Ohh, yeah, ohhhh, ohhhhh, ohhhh
Yeah, no no never, no ohhh

After your life, I leave, I'm dead
Leading me off through the night
If he's born again, I need you to find
Need you to find, where he is.


4. PURE MASSACRE

People, dying, for no reason at all
Age is no difference or if you're large or small
Families, been torn apart
Doesn't have to be this way
Some people, just have no heart
It's happening every day

Pure massacre
Pure massacre...
Pure massacre
Pure massacre...

Machine guns pumping
Hearts thumping
Death is all around, yeah
People crying for freedom
No one hears the sound, ohhh

Pure massacre
Pure massacre...
Pure massacre
Pure massacre...alright

There's people crying
There's people dying
But someone's taken it all, yeah

Machine guns pumping
Hearts thumping
Death is all around
People crying for freedom
No one hears the sound

Pure massacre
Pure massacre
Pure massacre
Pure massacre
Pure massacre
Pure massacre
It's gonna be
A pure massacre
Yeah


5. SHADE

If your hurt
Why don't you tell someone
Don't feel bad
You're not the only one, yeah

Don't go hiding
Hiding, in the shade
Don't go hiding
Hiding, in the shade

If you were abused
Find someone to help you
I know you were used
What are you gonna' do?
Yeah

Don't go hiding
Hiding, in the shade
Don't go hiding
Hiding, in the shade

Don't go hiding
Hiding, in the shade

In the shade, in the shade, in the shade.


6. LEAVE ME OUT

Ohh, you can lead a crowd
But I'm something you don't own
Ohh, greed is a sin
So don't leave me in
Ohh, you can leave me out

Leave me out
Ohh, yeah
Oh, yeah, ohh
Ohh, ahh, ohh

Ohh, yeah


7. SUICIDAL DREAM

I dream about, how it's going to end
Approaching me quickly
Leaving a life of fear
I only want my mind to be clear
People, making fun of me
For no reason but jealousy
I fantasise about my death
I'll kill myself from holding my breath

My suicidal dream
Voices telling me what to do
My suicidal dream
I'm sure you will get yours too

Help me, comfort me
Stop me from feeling what I'm feeling now
The rope is here
Now I'll find a use
I'll kill myself
I'll put my head in a noose

My suicidal dream
Voices telling me what to do
My suicidal dream
I'm sure you will get yours too

Dreamin' about my death, dream
Suicidal, suicidal, suicidal dream
I'm suicidal
Suicidal dream


8. MADMAN

I can't release you
You're a mad man
Need help to
Madman, Madman

You're tied to alcohol
It starts to take its toll
Madman, Madman
Oh, Madman, Mad

Mind filled with confusion
Your life's an illusion
Madman, Madman
Oh...
Ugh
Madman, Madman
..Madman.


9. UNDECIDED

Ohh, there's no time
To choose for yourself
It's like the candle's lit at both ends now
Dead see in her reigning hell
Parent's breakin' up
Wish they were to find
Where the truth in the carer
Can't make up their mind

They wonder why you need someone
You get no freedom at all
They want you to drop down as you fall
They make your self-esteem fall

Undecided
Can't make up their mind
Her parents collided
And left you behind

If there's a lot to their minds
Can you tell me please
How to stay
Straight together kid

Undecided
Can't make up their mind
Her parents collided
And left you behind

Her mother doesn't even know her name
Undecided
If there is trouble, well she just gets the blame
But tonight

Undecided
Can't make up their mind
Her parents collided
And left you behind

Undecided
Undecided
Undecided
Undecided
Ohh.


10. CICADA

When he was just a little boy
He only had one favourite toy
And he had nothing on his mind
He never left anything behind, no
As he got older, things got worse
Like he had been born under a curse
Things started to fall apart
They went like they were at the start
No, ohh

It's like a civil war, growing up
It's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up
It's like a civil war

And now that he was in his teens
He started to learn live of his means
Probably to stay in here and
They didn't look like disappearin'
No, ohh

It's like a civil war, growing up
It's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up

Growing up, it's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up, it's like a civil war
Don't turn away
It's something you can't ignore
Growing up, it's like a civil war.


11. FIND AWAY

You've been locked up, and you need to escape
You broke the law, it was a first offence
Drug addiction, subtracting all your priveleges
Giving up just makes no sense

We'll find a way
We'll find a way
Don't give in, don't give in
Don't give in, don't give in
Ohhh

All you can, think about is breakin' free
You can't make it on your own
You're thinking negative, nothing can go right
It's eating you down to the bone

We'll find a way
We'll find a way
Don't give in, don't give in
Don't give in, don't give in
Ohh

Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
We'll find a way
We'll find a way
Don't give in, don't give in
Don't give in, don't give in
Ohhhohh.


(ALBUM) FREAK SHOW


1. SLAVE

Lived too long now you've come to take me
To a place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Can't be something but I'll try

Lived too long and waited to just drown
In my self pity I keep falling down

Want to be your soldier
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself

Only book that I own is called 'how to lose'
Pick a chapter, I know them all, just choose

Lived too long and waited to find
A place where I can die
Lost my soul, lost my confidence in me
Give me something but I'll try

Want to be your solider
Want to be your slave
I have no pride in myself
That's how I behave


2. FREAK

No more maybes
Your baby's got rabies
Sitting on a ball
In the middle of the Andes

Yeah, I'm a freak of nature
Yeah, I'm a freak

If only I could be as cool as you
As cool as you

Body and soul, I'm a freak

Try to be different
Well get a different disease
Seems it's in fashion
To need the coldsore cream

I don't really know
How to put on a 'cool' show
As boring as they come
Just tell me where to go

If only I could be as cool as you

Freak


3. ABUSE ME

Need to ask a question
Calling out my name
Nothing seems to bother
Wish I had a clue

C'mon abuse me more I like it

Well I don't think you like me
Well I hate you as well
No one seems to like you
Wish I couldn't tell

C'mon abuse me more I like it
C'mon keep talking 'cause it's true

Throw the sailors overboard


4. LIE TO ME

Gonna be a liar?
Lie to me
Yeah

Gonna be a while?
Lie to me
Yeah


5. NO ASSOCIATION

You've never wanted to know me before
Little or no association
Leave me alone I want to live
Stop sucking the blood right out of me

Couldn't care less if I died right now
Who am I?
I don't know you tell me
You seem to know everything else

Need a pathway need a guide
Contemplating suicide
Wish I could be like you
You say you care but do you?

Do you?

Burn


6. CEMETERY

Need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate
All the ones who hate

I may be late
Always seem to get the wrong date
Well I guess it's fate

I live in a cemetery
Full of good will and integrity
You see
I have no specialty

Here's your warning
I'll give you click clikc boom

I live in a cemetery
I need a change
Not to imitate
But to irritate

I live in a cemetery


7. THE DOOR

Could've been like before
Could've had to lock the door

Make your mind
Let the door let the door swing
Only one
Only one to let the door

Wanted to pretend he's dead
Didn't have to pretend

All this and more
Makes no sense to me
All this and more
Makes me drown

Let me know if it's alright
Let me know if you just might


8. POP SONGS FOR US REJECTS

Addiction's held you back
But you don't care
'Cause you're on a high again
And it's not fair
Consuming alcohol
While I gotta drive
Take a hit from the drugs you stole
And try to survive

Since your life was over
You haven't yet been sober
You have held me back so long
Everything you do is wrong

Now I gotta dump you
Continue my life too
I tried to help you
Don't care what you do

Your state of mind's improved
But we're still apart
I visited you'd moved
Don't know where to start
Your life's and open cold sore
Got to get out of the cream
Now I'm thinking positive
But I know it's a dream

You dies yesterday


9. LEARN TO HATE

I wanted to be friends with her too
So my relationships could be the same as yours
I hated everyone just like you
Hating you should be introduced as a new law

Take the time to learn to hate
Come and join the mass debate
Take the time, take the time
It's uphill you've gotta climb

You betrayed all the trust I gave you
Now I need therapy to hate a little more
You cannot help me to forgive you
The drugs have given you all kinds of different sores

As you pump drugs into your bloodstream
I sit observing in disgust
Hoping that you will finally come clean
So I don't have to use the gun


10. PETROL & CHLORINE

Sinking through dark black holes
It's never gonna end
Open gash in my ribcage
It's never gonna mend

Take another picture of the wall
Sinking deeper everytime I fall

Each day ends quicker
And my mind gets slower too
As my life just fades away
I wouldn't have a clue

Take another draw out from the shelf
I'm too weak to do it by myself

Though you had the world at your feet
You could see it I was blind
Had the perfect job called life
You didn't like it you resigned

Brain's a square of grass
Growing on petrol and chlorine

On petrol and chlorine
You know just what I mean


11. ROSES

Drained as drained can be
Life is gone from me
Drained if drained is free
If only I could breathe

Smelling dead roses

Take your mind with you
There's no room for two
I can't handle both
Handle both of you

Smelling dead roses

But I won't fall down
No I won't fall down


12. NOBODY CAME

Laying lost and wounded
Just myself to blame
Have no life and
Being hand-fed pain

Head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and
Nobody came

His father beats him
No hesistation
His face left dripping
In humiliation

As he lies wounded
His father turns to clay
A frozen statue
Can't walk away

His head's a crying wasteland
Filled with shame
Cried for help before and
Nobody came

To see what I can lose again
For being the victim

No


13. THE CLOSING

Welcome to the closing
Not for love what for?
It's easy to be taken
But to say

Come again
Leave again
Waste of time
Come again

I'm alone while you're having fun
You have faith while I feel none
Sleep till late to waste half the day
But I'm happy to live this way

And I know that you can't see my pain
But you know that I can your pain

Me and shame are the same
Me and shame take the blame

Me and pain are the same
Me and shame take the blame


(ALBUM) NEON BALLROOM


1. EMOTION SICKNESS

Erupt again ignore the pill
And I won't let it show
Sacrifice the tortures
Orchestral tear cash-flow

Increase delete escape defeat
It's all that matters to you
Cotton case for an iron pill
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and
E-motion sickness
Addict with no heroine
E-motion sickness
Distorted eyes
When everything is clearly dying

Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
Burn my knees and
Burn my knees and pray
[All my friends say]
Get up get up get up get up
Get up get up get up
Won't you stop my pain

E-motion sickness
[To idle with an idol]
Addict with no heroine
Good things will pass
It helps with excess access
Lessons learnt

E-motion sickness
[Lost no friendship]
[Corrosive head pollution]
Lessons learnt


2. ANTHEM FOR THE YEAR 2000

We are the youth
We'll take your fascism away
We are the youth
Apologise for another day
We are the youth
And politicians are so sure
We are the youth
And we are knocking on death's door
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short
We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000 with...

Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
Where innocence is so short

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you

Never knew we were living in a world
With a world that could be so sure
Never knew we were living in a world
With a mind that could be so small
Never knew we were living in a world
And the world is an open court
Maybe we don't want to live in a world
World who cares at all

We'll make it up to you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000
Make it hard for you
In the year 2000
Build it up for you
In the year 2000 with you


3. ANA'S SONG (OPEN FIRE)

Please die Ana
For as long as you're here we're not
You make the sound of laughter
And sharpened nails seem softer
And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Imagine a pageant
In my head the flesh seems thicker
Sandpaper tears corrode the filth

And I need you now somehow
And I need you now somehow

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

And you're my obsession
I love you to the bones
And Ana wrecks your life
Like an Anorexia life

Open fire on the needs designed
On my knees for you
Open fire on my knees desires
What I need from you

Open fire on my knees desires
On my knees for you


4. SPAWN AGAIN

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
As a death from old age becomes nearer
Why can't the livestock be free
When trading soldiers for steak
Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Discard the old and in with the new
Discard the old and in with the fashion

Learn to evolve with the new transition
To act upon a hypocritical vision
Learn to evolve, learn to, learn to evolve

Who is the bad guy for iron
Require mince these are the facts
So eat what you murder
This is animal liberation
Eight billion killed for human pleasure

Bring on the ape farm
Demolish the monkeys
Drink up, drink up
Look down on junkies

A new hypocritical look and ambition
The time has come
To make the decision you...
Drink up, drink up, look down
I'll hold it back, I'll hold it back

Discard the old, in with the fashion

Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes
Death becomes clearer through bloodshot eyes


5. MISS YOU LOVE

Millionaire say
Got a big shot deal
And thrown it all away but
But I'm not too sure
How I'm supposed to feel
Or what I'm supposed to say

But I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle every day
And I miss you love

Make room for the prey
'Cause I'm coming in
With what I wanna say but
It's gonna hurt
And I love the pain
A breeding ground for hate but...

I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss you love

I love the you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back

It's just a fad
Part of the teenage angst brigade and
I'm not, not sure,
Not too sure how it feels
To handle everyday
Like the one that just past
In the crowds of all the people

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss you love

Remember today
I've no respect for you
And I miss you love
And I miss use love

I love the you love
But I hate the way
I'm supposed to love you back


6. DEAREST HELPLESS

Dearest helpless
Intent's not as bad as the action
Take a breath to distort
The fear in your eyes
I don't mean it to hurt
But every time I hate you
I think of you first
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

Equalize the pressure, it's all too much
Sex drugs and image is just enough
To get you by in the real world

He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind to bring you down

He's made you blind
I'm just the kind
To bring you, to bring you...
He's made you blind
You're better on your own
I'm just the kind
To bring you down


7. DO YOU FEEL THE SAME

Moon covered determined to find
To find my place of hiding
Try to detach, try to decrease
To make it easier on me
Despise myself for what you've done
Sent me back into my world
Hold yourself 'cause no one will
I'll make it easier
Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come

Stay alert cause I'm obsessed
Surely I can't be depressed
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine

Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Could I be read if I was see-through
Or would you just read my spine

Now I have managed to be the one
To be the victim without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway

Hold yourself 'cause no-one will
I'll be there to take the spill
Cleanse your soul, change the tide
And ride the wave back here to me

Be the one
Without the gun
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come
Do you feel the same
Feel the same
Now you've come
Do you feel the same anyway
Now you've come


8. BLACK TANGLED HEART

Maybe your luck has changed
Settle down
Maybe I'm just deranged
And on the rebound
Maybe love was the thing
Holding me back from all
Maybe I'm just the thing
To break my own fall
Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall

Maybe departure's good
Makes room for more
Start to mass produce
For a chance to ignore
Maybe you'll kill yourself
Before I get a turn
Maybe I'll fall in love
And never learn

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall

Take the rope to my heart and fall
You may just be the last before you
See the black tangled heart fall


9. POINT OF VIEW

Liberate the people that you hate
Then cut yourself again
Elevate then drop back down
And see which ones remain
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it
You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point

Accusation, does yes mean no?
Or have you changed your mind?
Kill the nation before it grows
And be one of a kind
Remember all that she can say
Is that she knows she wants it

You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point

Pretend the world's an ocean
Oh, I'm drowning
Pretend that I'm pollution
Oh, I'm dying
Pretend the steak's a cowboy
And the kiss will kill you

You'll make it through
With another point of view again
You'll make it through
With another point


10. SATIN SHEETS

Just wait for us to say it
And we'll make you lie
And anyone who cares
Lies on satin sheets
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

Wears a saturn bracelet
Lined with cocaine coins
"No chance" slipped away
Toddler training toys
And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care

And I waste my time on no-one
And you think I really care


11. PAINT PASTEL PRINCESS

It's only self rejection
With a mean left
Cold carbon copied coping
And it's mean theft
That's been left behind

Paint pastel princess
Bo and arapax
The shelves when they're broken
I'll beg you, beg you

Waste life when youth is sweeter, neater
Content with contents
Cultures cringing at accents
And it's too tense, camp out (nonsense)

She tastes the candy
Sugarless, cancerous
Crave cocaine cop shows
I'll beg you, beg you
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me
But it's all the same to me


12. STEAM WILL RISE

Contain yourself
I will compress
What I am to
Replace yourself
With what you have
Your substitute
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise

Refrain, confess
Contain, repress
Pretend I'm dead
Abuse myself
Confuse myself
I won't be led

Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Only wanted a piece of myself
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
Steam will rise
Esteem will rise
