Lyrics


1. YES IT'S FUCKING POLITICAL

So the pierce screwed up your face
'cos your girlie liked the taste
You're infected by the tease
Political

So your sexy guilty braids
Made your body smell of mace
So debauched in your slick mink
Political

Yes it's fucking political,
Everything's political
Yes it's fucking satirical,
Everything's satirical
Yes it's fucking political,
Everything's political

The wild ones like to hide
As the dirty priest confides
In the love of baby whores
Political

Negative are all your views
So you to can prop up your fake cool
A puppet all the same
Political

Yes it's fucking political,
Everything's political
Yes it's fucking satirical,
Everything's satirical
Yes it's fucking political,
Everything's political


2. ALL I WANT

All I want is a mirror
So I can see this so
Called brighter day
I’m watching all the
World crawl back again
Watching how it blows
Itself away

That’s all I want
It’s all I want
That’s all I want
It’s all I want, want, want

All I want is destruction
I wanna see it crumble
Beneath my toes
Smell the way my sore
Eyes, burn away
Wanna see it all today

That’s all I want
It’s all I want
That’s all I want
It’s all I want, want, want, want, want!

All you want is to be me
So you can screw me up
And don't give a damn
'cos I’m a crazy
Little daisy to vile to
Breathe
That’s all I can have today

That’s all I want
It’s all I want
That’s all I want
It’s all I want

That’s all I want
It is all I want
That’s all I want
All I want


3. SHE'S MY HEROINE

I can't weep, only cry
I can move, I deny
See my smile
Eat, eat, eat
Se, fe, feed
You so damn sweet
She's cal-ling
She's cal-ling

She's my heroine
She's my heroine
She's my heroine
She's my heroine

You're too weird creep, creep, creep,
Smiley faces, so discrete
La, la, lover
Evil eyes, I can't sleep
For her lies
She's crawling, she's crawling

She's my heroine
She's my heroine
She's my heroine
She's my heroine

Smashed you in the face
Up against the wall
Still your secrets safe
There's no-one I can call

She's my heroine
She's my heroine
She's my heroine
She's my heroine


4. INFIDELITY (ONLY YOU)

Lost infidelity, we never
Said a word
So black and white you see
It’s all the lies we've heard

In my mind nothing makes sense
I’m nothing you can't have
Cracked up to disagree, that's
All we've ever had

You, only you, only you
Only you can't be the one x2

Your secret smile so quaint
In memories fortold
Laughing so viciously,
Your concience has been sold

In my face there's no more joy
I’m all that i should be
Cracked infidelity, that's all you
Are to me

You, only you, only you
Only you can't be the one
Be the one x4

We don't talk anymore x2
We don't care anymore x2


5. HEDONISM (JUST BECAUSE YOU FEEL GOOD)

I hope you're feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you're doin' now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now
Or are those special moves
For someone else
I hope you're feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn’t make it right (oh no)
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight (want you)

Does laughter still discover you
I see through all those smiles
That look so right
Do you still have the
Same friends now
To smoke away your
Problems and your life
Oh how do you remember me
The one that made
You laugh until you cried
I hope you're feeling
Happy now

Repeat chorus (x2)

I wonder what you're doing now
I hope you're feeling happy now (x2)


6. TWISTED (EVERYDAY HURTS)

I cried on my blood day
There was nothing that I could hold on to
Just a line could have helped
Remind me of you, of you
I screamed till the blood came
I was living in a cloud of hope
Lover’s kiss then they make a wish to the end
They pretend

'cause everyday hurts a little more
And everyday hurts a little more
And I’ll do anything, yes I’ll do anything
To belong to be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts a little more
Yes everyday hurts a little more
And I’ll be anything, yes I’ll be anything
To belong to be strong
To say there's nothing wrong
Everyday hurts
Everyday hurts
Everyday hurts

I cried in the sunlight
Would I fake all the times I loved you
Just a play in a game i twisted with you, with you
I need to believe you
Sacrificed all the lies we made up
How we kissed
Then we made our wish to the end
To the end

(Repeat chorus)

Time made me confide in you
So contrived were the words you sold me
Now nothing can swallow
The feeling so shallow inside

(Repeat chorus)


7. WE LOVE YOUR APATHY

The sweeter the taste I love it
Eaten your gutted spine
All of your thoughts I have them
Spitting them out, sublime

(cos') i am the god of power
Political to the core governments
Roll theirs heads out the beast
Always wants some more

I love it, he loves it
We love your apathy
We crush your, lame spirit
We love your apathy
Love-er-ly

I have the information
(That) keeps you from knowing me
I abuse you, as you watch me
And you always vote me in

The poorer you are the better
That gives me more control
cos I am the brute that hates you
(And I’m) loving it to the bone
Why don't you wait till you bleed
Why don't you wait for the cause

And I’ll and I’ll
And I’ll and I will watch you
I’ll wait, I’ll wait, for you I’ll wait, I’ll wait, for you


8. BRAZEN (WEEP)

I called you brazen, called you whore right to your face
And watched you silently and publicly disgraced
I didn't notice when you strengthened like a vice
That you were trembling and burned beneath the ice

Why don't you weep when I hurt you
Why don't you weep when I cut you
You don't bleed and the anger
Builds up inside

Why don't you weep when I hurt you
Why don't you weep when I cut you
You don't bleed and the anger
Builds up inside

You said a prayer and I betrayed you with a kiss
You never realized that all had come to this
So keep your dignity don't throw it all to waste
Stronger feelings than you've ever learned to face

Why don't you weep when I hurt you
Why don't you weep when I cut you
You don't bleed and the anger
Builds up inside

Why don't you weep when I hurt you
Why don't you weep when I cut you
You don't bleed and the anger
Builds up inside


9. PICKIN ON ME

I saw a weird boy
He looked at me with a look of pure hate
Nobody knew all the grief where he'd been
He was a sad boy
He was a victim of a dirty good time
Feely games in the back of his boarded up estate

Soon enough, he's pickin' on me
Kick my head in 'cos that's all he'd seen
Soon enough he's pickin on me, pickin on me

I told my teacher
She look at me so indifferently
Her whole night was
Spent marking paper red tape
So I had to learn to fight
Kicked her sister 'cos I had no respect
So here's the start of another war you against me

Soon enough he's pickin' on me
Kick my head in 'cos that's all that he'd seen
Soon enough he's pickin on me, pickin on me


10. MILK IS MY SUGAR

Milk is my sugar
Sweet grovelling
Thy shall convert me
My favourite sin
Meat makes it snappy
Snap back and thigh
Good work for pellow
I’m so alive

Milk is my sugar
It makes me happy
Milk is my sugar sweet(x8)

Watch me be naughty
So cruel for fun
Slick in the picture
Wait for the one
Not for your finger (no)
Slide ride too kind
(Cause) milk is my sugar
Sweet nevermind

Milk is my sugar
It makes me happy
Milk is my sugar
sweet (...X)


11. GLORIOUS POP SONG

How can your face be so angry
When all you're doing is looking at me
(You) chastise me for my behaviour
It's gonna last too long
And what am I now but your reaction
I'm all those memories you tried to steal
This war will never be over
Gonna last too long

You're still a fucker
You're still a fucker
You're still a fucker
To me

(You know) Lucifer cried when you looked at me
And the heavens rained down
On your acid face
What is left now that it's over
Shouldn't last too long

Repeat chorus

But it's all the same
It is all the same
What a life
But it's all the same
It is all the same
What a life
And I believe I belong nowhere
Maybe there are winners (but I'm)
Always used
Everythings hard to discover
When it lasts too long
