Pushing back, fighting off adrenaline Holding still, waiting for the medicine Forget time, now’s the right time Go now go, and shift the paradigm Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Riding high, from a seven shoot Waiting time, to miss a prosecute Jump the line, staying onside Jump the line, we won’t be denied Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Kettled in, bouncing with the brainwaves Dancing free, not only Jesus saves Standing arms, salute the same tune Before you know, it’s over too soon Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz Feel the fuzz feeding off the buzz

Feel It 03:49
Oh when it pushes, when it pulls When it squeezes, when it releases Deep inside, on the outside Pressing down, boiling up When it bites, when it chews When it scratches, when it clashes Breaking up, or making love Tear apart, healing up The pressure builds and the seams start to crack Pupils burning and your mind goes slack One by one, three by three More and more’s getting put on me When it shakes, when it rattles When it rocks and, when it rolls Amongst the pieces, as a whole When you shoot, but miss the goal When it breathes, when it chokes When it hides, or when it shows Getting high, falling low Getting darker, in the light The pressure builds and the seams start to crack Pupils burning and your mind goes slack One by one, three by three More and more’s getting put on me Let’s have it one more time When it’s broke, when it’s rich When life’s good, when life’s a bitch Getting sharp, cutting blunt Cooling off, and fit to blow The pressure builds and the seams start to crack Pupils burning and your mind goes slack One by one, three by three More and more’s getting put on me

Lost fleeting moments you struggle to grasp A tinderbox tongue and your head’s shattered glass You’re slow to realise, hesitate to see Nausea smacks you full in the face, then it strikes you that sickly taste You can barely lie, not ready to stand Did you raise a glass to toast the one I shot for the moon and straddled the sun Do you have recollection of what was to come I tried so hard yet my brain is dumb Do you wonder, wonder in the morning after Joining the pieces, a fragmented thesis of the night before Do you wonder, wonder in the morning after Joining the pieces, a fragmented thesis of the night before The mocking daylight a sight for sore eyes A selfish indulgence, you start to despise Your own, your own lack of self preservation And as you sink deeper still in cotton grave Trying to decipher oblivions haze You can’t run, you can’t hide, you’re only fit to die Did you raise a glass to toast the one I shot for the moon and straddled the sun Do you have recollection of what was to come I tried so hard yet my brain is dumb Do you wonder, wonder in the morning after Joining the pieces, a fragmented thesis of the night before Do you wonder, wonder in the morning after Joining the pieces, a fragmented thesis of the night before

Mirror, mirror on the wall shine a light on to us all Mirror, mirror tell how it is, give me your analysis Take a good look at me, is this really want you want to see Bury your secrets in the casket of time And be a good friend of mine Mirror, mirror show me how to take the sword to sacred cows Mirror, mirror so bourgeoise reflect only what’s fit for me Take a good look at me, is this really want you want to see Bury your secrets in the casket of time And be a good friend of mine Mirror, mirror show compassion, don’t be quick to judge my actions Mirror, mirror avert your gaze from humanities so wicked ways Take a good look at me, is this really want you want to see Bury your secrets in the casket of time And be a good friend of mine

Born with a fascination of the past Yet to his detriment it could be Nothing could rest, always disturbed There are no questions that couldn’t be asked He tried so hard to make his lovers stick And went so far to give them each his heart But something’s wrong, something’s awry Cause there’s this habit he can’t resist Always needing to know who’s that and what’s this And when he asks does this ring any bells You know he’s thumbed through the skeletons on your shelves It don’t occur to let sleeping dogs lie Through ruthless research he’ll have you profiled Patience to dig, a forensic mind Cause bygones being bygones just don’t fly Lead him astray and he will persist To find that memory buried away No matter the pain, shame or blame Cause there’s habit he can’t resist Always needing to know who’s that and what’s this And when he asks does this ring any bells You know he’s thumbed through the skeletons on your shelves If there’s something you’re not keen to discuss Rest assured, he’s up to speed He will interrogate but wear a smile All is enough not superfluous Yet should this tale take one more twist Surely he spends a life alone A man of detail, this chronic itch Cause there’s this habit he can’t resist Always needing to know who’s that and what’s this And when he asks does this ring any bells? You know he’s thumbed through the skeletons on his shelves

Le Chat Noir 04:04
Le chat noir, le chat noir Le chat noir, le chat noir Le chat noir, she’s out to get you Le chat noir, she’s gonna find you Don’t let her cross your path, or set eyes on you She’ll size you up, weave in and out of you A sign of what’s to come and apple of temptation Don’t dare start the chase or give in to flirtation It needs to be told, it has to be heard This crazy cat is gonna have the last word Le chat noir, she’s on the prowl Le chat noir Don’t let her cross your path, or set eyes on you She’ll size you up, weave in and out of you And when those razor sharp claws sink into your flesh Disguised not described as a touching caress Don’t be a victim, don’t fall for her charms This crazy cat is here to do you harm Le chat noir, le chat noir

Sitting at a bar supping words from my jar A fizzy, dizzy poetry Lost in the country just some hillbilly junkies Keeping me in luxury And then to break the tension they offered me to step outside Along comes divine intervention as she gave me a bed for the night And when she wraps those wings around me there’s no fears to hide As she whispers so sweetly I’m your guardian angel I’m by your side Out of my mind it was almost that time My foundations a tumbled down The pressure was building, a release gone a missing Man the man had gone to town When I thought to pack it all in, this chancer had chewed me up Along comes divine intervention, with a doozy of a pick me up And when she wraps those wings around me there’s no fears to hide As she whispers so sweetly I’m your guardian angel I’m by your side By your side, by your side I was physically broke, a wheel without spokes A faulty, fleshy man indeed When I struggled to stand, stood on my bare hands There was little I couldn’t concede Just when I felt I was destined to life with a foot on the brake Along came divine intervention to save me from a hasty mistake And when she wraps those wings around me there’s no fears to hide As she whispers so sweetly I’m guardian angel I’m by your side You’re by my side, wrap those wings around me, keep them around me, keep them around me

Please sincerely Mr Jones, listen to what I have to say I’ll give you the rhyme, if you give me the time of day All these words do they mean a thing Do they make you cry, tug at your heartstrings Tell me how they sit with the melody Does it catch and will you speak up for me Please sincerely Mr Jones, listen to what I have to say I’ll give you the rhyme, if you give me the time of day Tell me truly what do you think I’ve paid for the pleasure it’s a peculiar kink I’ll feed into your power build your ego up Give me your validation I aint sold you no pup Please sincerely Mr Jones, listen to what I have to say I’ll give you the rhyme, if you give me the time of day I work, I slave, I wrack my mind Pour my heart and soul and its kind My fingertips are raw unto the bone Please sincerely Mr Jones, listen to what I have to say I’ll give you the rhyme, if you give me the time of day Please sincerely Mr Jones, listen to what I have to say I’ll give you the rhyme, if you give me the time of day

I’m watching you, when you least suspect I’m a part of you, when you’re oh so circumspect I can make work for idle hands so come and be an advocate for me I’ll cast my spell in a puff of smoke I’ll pique your curiosity, you’ll see I’m the voice that asks you why I have empathy in little supply Yet strangely seems to satisfy The devil in the detail, of your eye As I rest so weary and I’m high on low I try to take it easy, ease back and take it slow But there’s no doing that, when you’ve pressed go There’s no doing that, and I should know I move, I walk through the corners of your mind Paying little attention to those who are blind To their dirty little secrets they wish to hide And boy they’re dirty oh my oh my I can make work for idle hands so come and be an advocate for me I’ll cast my spell in a puff of smoke I’ll pique your curiosity, oh I’m the voice that asks you why I have empathy in little supply Yet strangely seems to satisfy The devil in the detail, of your eye I’m the voice that asks you why I have empathy in little supply Yet strangely seems to satisfy The devil in the detail, of your eye I’m the voice that asks you why I have empathy in little supply Yet strangely seems to satisfy The devil in the detail, of your eye I’m the voice that asks you why I have empathy in little supply Yet strangely seems to satisfy The devil in the detail, of your eye

Putting a name to a thousand faces Building a world but without any places Saying words, till they have no meaning Staying alive but no longer breathing I'm lost, when I should feel at home Something's right and something's wrong Feeling weak and somewhat strong Stood upright and laid prostrate Happy to go, but wanting to wait I'm lost, when I should feel at home I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world Feeling pain though the body is numb I wanna be bright but I act so dumb Looking to the left with a glance to the right Scared of the dark and afraid of the light I'm lost, when I should feel at home I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me I didn't lose my world, my world lost me Can't you see, can't you see, I'm not where I'm supposed to be Can't you see, can't you see, I'm not where I belong
