Amphibious Skin
02:45

|
Broken in the gutter
Eyes blink in disbelief
That day’s purchase
Scattered to the wind
Mountainous horizon
Disappear at will
How the darkness dances
When it faces the day
Catfish heartbreaker
Catfish sucker
If I was famous I wouldn’t change a thing
But I’m not
So it doesn’t matter
Said she was a poet
Dark dances with the light
Oh amphibious skin
Oh amphibious skin
Oh amphibious skin
Oh amphibious skin
Mountains on horizons
Appear and disappear at will
That day’s purchase
Scattered to the wind
They found you in an alley
Genitals severed
A life of misadventure
They shoved them in your mouth
Amphibious skin

New Machine (Are We)
01:52
|
|||
|
Unfinished
Light as a feather
A call not yet answered
Like a birdsong from a great distance
No plans for the day
Not yet anyway
Whichever way you look at it the new machine are we
I guess it doesn’t matter
It was all a waste of time
Reach back to the past
No plans for the future
A body lies broken
Another family splintered
Grey on grey
Two bottles unfinished
No plans for the day, not yet anyway
Whichever way you look at it the new machine are we
You want to know about hell ?
It’s where it finds you buddy
You want to know about hell ?
It’s where it finds you buddy

Judas Jenny

Her name was Judas Jenny
Just lookin for her man
She held the brown bessy
Tightly in her hand
Like the lost Sunfish
Deprived of love
Naïve to a fault
Fate was in her hand
The killing times baby
The killing times oh man
The killing times baby
She was in demand
He drove around in his V8 truck
Off his head
Dreaming of eternity
Vast and red
Nothing is the question
To answer instead
Follow Judas Jenny
Until the end
The killing times baby
The killing times oh man
The killing times baby
She was in demand

Forces At Work
02:29

There’s something
You can’t recreate
The belonging to
To catch the hate
I can’t let go
You were smarter than me
A rare insight
Into how you keep
A pair of eyes
Just lookin at me
But I can’t let go!
You were smarter than me
Have you not heard
There are forces at work
You’ll never understand
Have you not heard
There are forces at work but
You were smarter than me
Have you not heard there are forces at work
You’ll never understand
Have you not heard there are forces at work
But you were smarter than me – me

If they prescribed to you, man
What they prescribed to me
Maybe you would turn around
Turn around and see
That youth is an injustice
Gotta get them outta here
It’s a funny trip inside
It’s a funny trip outside
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Don’t follow me
He sighs just like an actor
And acts just like a king
Everybody knows the way
We feel about him
But everything is all right
Everything’s OK
Give yourself a second chance
Well that’s what they say
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Don’t follow me
You tell me that you want her
And that you had to leave
You tell me that you need her
You cunt it’s Christmas Eve
So run to her now
And fall into her bed
Make haste as you leave
And don’t wake up the dead
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Don’t bother me
Don’t follow me

Diamond in the Forehead
03:59
|

|
It’s a living
Own nothing
Beyond the pale, call it freedom
On the other side you scratch out a sunrise
The hammer strikes, no one feels
Remember to drive that nail into the forehead
Between a future and a past
So no one fears
Over the rainbow, the arc light shines
Truth’s just cargo
Rattling down the rails
It’s a glass bead
It’s a mission in a war zone
It’s a prism
It’s where the hammer strikes and no one fears
Comrades disillusioned
And fail the test, parallel and opposing
Inside the flawed diamond
Remember to drive that nail
Into the forehead
Between the future and past
Then it comes to pass
Over the rainbow, the arc light shines
Truth’s just cargo, rattling down the rails
A diamond in the forehead, I can see the journey
Diamond in the forehead, the hammer strikes
Like a diamond in the forehead

Hit With Love
03:03
|
|||
|
From the home that cradled us
Now from which we run
Never far from destabilised
A foreign tongue
Stay close to the land
Keep the coast in sight
Don’t stray too far
They might give up tonight
I’ve Been Hit With Love
She was so hard hearted
Not so easy to persuade
I told her I loved her
She just walked away
I’ve Been Hit With Love
My ship was sinking
Sails tattered and torn
This has got me thinking
As to where I belong
Stay close to the land
Keep the coast in sight
Don’t stray too far
They might just give up tonight
I’ve Been Hit With Love

She's Repatriated
03:26
|
|||
|
She’s repatriated
Just a medium for her god
The wine dark sea
Into the realms of the unreal
She’s repatriated
Project confusion
The conjuror’s mirror behind
Like a rabbit from a hat
The wine dark sea
She’s repatriated
In a world of dislocation
Lost identity
I am here as you can see me
What will you do for me
What will you do for me

Piss On Demand
01:25
|
|||
|
Ain’t got no money
It ain’t heaven sent
Ain’t been paid in weeks man
Some mother fuckers got all the cheek
You gotta piss on demand
Piss on demand
If you want to be in music
And play in a band
Piss on demand
Hey rock n roll get off my back
It’s cleaning me out
It’s running me down
Some motherfuckers don’t cut you no slack
You gotta piss on demand
Piss on demand
If you want to be in music
And play in a band
Piss on demand

Marshalling Yard
02:16

So! It’s the summary
Of the story
They left all the good bits out
Left out
Or is that is just forgotten
Like a rat in a sewer
Lookin for a way in
Lookin for a way in
Diesel trains, kidney pains
She loves the sun all day long
Hey my friend, you’re just a puppet
She pulls the strings all day long
She pulls the strings
She’s a master of disguise
Gonna eat your heart out baby
Ain’t no place left to hide
Diesel trains are idling
In the Marshalling yard
They’re lulling me to sleep
I dream of wine and whiskey
On the beach
Don’t break my reverie
You’ll only tick me off
It’s not a mystery
I know we pay the cost
Til next!
You’re just a particle caught in the sun
From the corner of my eye
Diesel trains are idling in
The marshalling yard
Diesel trains, kidney pains
She loves the sun all day long
It’s the story of the story
They left all of the good bits out
Left out, or is that just forgotten
Like a rat in a sewer
Looking for a way in

Sentimental Crap
02:05
|

|
Now there was a moment
And now it’s gone
Done gone and dusted
Sentimental crap
Sentimental crap
Now there was a moment
The ash tray and the smoke
A rare photograph
Life is rough
Sentimental crap
Sentimental crap
You’ve done this so many times before
A wink for the ladies
A nod for the guys
Sentimental crap
Sentimental crap
Sentimental not for the dying
Sentimental not for the dead
Sentimental not for thee fainthearted
On this you can depend
Not sentimental

Blindsided
03:08
|
|||
|
I woke up with the sun
In my eyes
There’s no reason why
There’s no reason
But it took me by surprise
Blindsided now
Harrowing, a disconnect
There’s nothing happening
Here to see
Tell them when you see them
Tell them from me
That I’m sick of them now
There’s a monkey on your back
A thorn in your side
There was silence
When it was too hard
I know you’re sick of me now
Blindsided

You gotta love a band whose members weren't alive when you were young and somehow create music that takes you back to your youth (except I was never this cool). Gotta get back to Oz and see these "kids" perform live.
