Another one bites the dust, bye guys
People say when your numbers up, it's up
i thought i'd be the first one to crackup
in the space of 2 weeks thats 2 friends gone
from the 12th floor window jumped my good friend John
and while trying to come to terms with news that hit me like a ton
more bad news, the overdose of another friend Alan
it makes me wonder why i am still here
and in my head it will never be clear
ive diced with death and danced with the devil
ive played Mr Hyde and ive been doctor Jekyll
more experienced than a doctor sticking steel in my arm
escapism is the only thing...

The hilarity of marriage vows
I take you to be my wedded wife
and say goodbye to any nightlife
with this ring i thee wed
those words should not have been said
then come the words, to have and to hold
only being said to get her hands on some gold
for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health
what she really means is, as long as theres wealth
i promise to be true in good times and in bad
little do you know, your secretly being had
I will love you and honor you all the days of my life
while deep in her mind she is twisting the knife
from this day forward, for better, for...

The tattoo on my arm and the voice on my shoulder
i planned to be a part of you and be with you forever
that little devil on your arm, that wasnt really that clever
it may have been there all those years while i got older
a devil of ink which in turn created a devil on my shoulder
talking to me every day, filling me with shame
telling me what a dick i was for putting underneath your name
people said i would regret it, having a girls name on my arm
but back then i thought i would keep you forever with my charm
but the devil on my shoulder was laughing at me each day
saying "do you really think its...

A word to my younger self
Looking back 20 years ago it makes me feel sick
casting my eyes upon a young stupid little prick
what the fuck do you think you are doing, do you know where this will lead ?
Your on a rocky road my friend, these few words i give you please heed
if i could give advice and it was really possibe and i really could go back
the first thing i would do before i spoke a word is give you such as whack
then i would call you aside for a word in your ear to save you from your doom
then stick a bag over your head, briefly appologise & lock you away in a room
casting my eyes upon a young stupid little prick
what the fuck do you think you are doing, do you know where this will lead ?
Your on a rocky road my friend, these few words i give you please heed

Half a life
People say "i shoud start a new life"
but who the fuck should i be
i dont even know who i am just now
i just know that i am me
and if i did start a new life
then where the fuck should i start ?
It not even easy being alive
and living without a heart
i gave it away a long time ago
and never did get it back
its something i know i should never have done
because without it i cant do jack
cos i dont have a spare to give to another
and the pain and heartache is rife
so whats the point in starting again
when it...

Touch & Go
Each and every day is touch and go
Gonna burn myself out, why take things slow ?
Its better to burn out, than to fade away
Not a chance am i gonna be pissing myself someday
Indignity isnt something that im gonna go through
Sitting there unable to move like a piss and shit stew
I would rather take a gun and put it to my head
Piss and shit myself, fuck that, id rather be dead
Concider a nursing home ? Fuck that aswell
Nursing homes are halfway between earth and hell
So i will take my chances as each day goes by
At least i would have enjoyed myself if...

The thorn in my side
Into the flesh, like a thorn in my side
Into the stream like a river running wild
Into the brain like the pain has gone away
Into a different part of me each and every day
But i still feel the rain now the storm is over
And i still feel cold when you open the door
But even your love and your smell of sweet clover
is'nt going to stop me from going to score
Into the stream like a river running wild
Into the brain like the pain has gone away
Into a different part of me each and every day
But i still feel the rain now the storm is over
And i still feel cold when you open the door
But even your love and your smell of sweet clover
is'nt going to stop me from going to score

Fading Shadow
Where did it all go wrong ? When did i start to die ?
Was it when i was 13 and each day i told a lie ?
A lie that i'd been to school & was doing well at my work
I could'nt really tell my parent i'd not been cos im a jerk
4pm i would sneak into my room, so my parents would'nt get a whiff
Not of smoke, that was kids stuff, it was the glue that i used to sniff
Trying furiously to get rid of the smell, eating onions, mints & stuff
But nothing got rid of that smell, looking back those days were tough
now 25 years have passed and im in exactly the same place...

I WISH CHRISTMAS WOULD NEVER BE
Christmas may come but only once a year
i'd like to get hold of rudoplph and poisen that raindeer
then maybe it wouldnt happen and save me a lot of cash
and withour rudolph maybe give santa whiplash
but knowing that cunt, he would put in a claim
and im sure he would find some poor cunt to blame
cos he'd be a yank and you know what they are like
his names probably not santa, it will be something like Mike
without anyone to pull his slay, he'll get a cold and a cough
one thing as a kid ive always wanted to say " do us a favour Santa & go &...

Bye bye baby goodbye
I never thought it would happen, getting over you
But now ive woke up and can confidently say "fuck you"
I dont know why i held you for so long in my heart
Now the haze is away, i see we are better apart
But looking back, there are things i never would change
Even though i realise that you are totally deranged
You wanted it all and you wanted it now
Your just like your mum, the haggered old cow
Ive never hated a person as much as i hate your mum
And never met a person who is so naturally dumb
The only thing she is good at. Is getting her claws...

Which is the happier place
Do i really deserve this amount of pain
heads all fucked up, hearts leaking again
leaking these lines like an alphabet stream
dont really know if it was worth getting clean
at least back then i could forget being lonely
even forget that i can depend on me only
sometimes i think, it was a better life then
but do i really want to go down that road again
then theres the trouble i know it would cause
if i could only go back a few years and press pause
have a word with myself, give my head a good shake
plead with myself not to make that mistake
but...

Down in the gutter
is this the place where i really belong ?
i don't really know, as ive been here so long
everyone looking down as if i am dirt
do they even realise that even i hurt ?
A few bad choices has put me right here
but there's one thing that i want to make clear
there has been helping hands to put me where i am
because its not through choice ive ended up in this jam
so to you people, i'd like to say a few words if i may
fuck you, fuck you, fuck you and have a nice day
i don't really know, as ive been here so long
everyone looking down as if i am dirt
do they even realise that even i hurt ?
