NON-ALPHABETICAL INDEX to
HONEYCOMB ROADMAP, LABYRINTHINE CATACOMBS, &c.
HAIL TO THE THIEF, (or, The Gloaming.)* (The Lukewarm.) Are you such a dreamer? To put the world to rights? I’ll stay home forever Where two & two always makes up five I’ll lay down the tracks Sandbag & hide January has April’s showers And two & two always makes up five IT’S THE DEVIL’S WAY NOW THERE IS NO WAY OUT YOU CAN SCREAM & YOU CAN SHOUT IT IS TOO LATE NOW BECAUSE YOU HAVE NOT BEEN PAYING ATTENTION I try to sing along I get it all wrong Eezeepeezeeeezeepeeezee NOT I swat em like flies but Like flies the buggers Keep coming back
NOT Maybe not “All hail to the thief” “But I’m not!” “Don’t question my authority or put me in the dock” Cozimnot! Go & tell the king that The sky is falling in When it’s not Maybe not. (ahh diddums.)
E (Snakes & Ladders.) Sit down. Stand up. Walk into The jaws of hell. Anytime. Anytime. We can wipe you out Anytime. Anytime. THE RAINDROPS
* Parental Advisory: These Lyrics contain Words that some People may find Offensive.
(Brush the Cobwebs out of the Sky.) I sucked The moon I spoke Too soon And how much did It cost? I was dropped from Moonbeams And sailed On shooting stars Maybe you’ll be president But know right from wrong Or in the flood you’ll build an Ark And sail us to the moon
E (Honeymoon is Over.) We’re rotten fruit We’re damaged goods What the hell We got nothing more to lose One gust & we Will probably crumble We’re backdrifters. This far but no further I’m hanging off a branch I’m teetering on the brink Oh Honeysweet So full of sleep I’m backsliding. You fell into our arms We tried
But there was nothing We could do All evidence has been buried. All tapes have been erased. But your footprints give you away so You’re backtracking
E (Little Man being Erased.) Something for the rag & bone man “Over my dead body” Something big is gonna happen “Over my dead body” Someone’s son or someone’s daughter “Over my dead body” This is how I end up getting sucked in “Over my dead body” I’m gonna go to sleep let this wash all over me We don’t wanna wake the monster “Tiptoe round tie him down” We don't want the loonies taking over “Tiptoe round tie them down” May pretty horses Come to you As you sleep I’m gonna go to sleep Let this wash All over me
(The Sky is Falling in.) There’s a gap in between There’s a gap where we meet Where I end & you begin And I’m sorry for us The dinosaurs roam the earth The sky turns green Where I end & you begin I am up in the clouds I am up in the clouds And I can’t & I can’t come down I can watch but Not take part Where I end & where you start Where you you left me alone You left me alone. X will the mark the place Like parting the waves Like a house falling into the sea
Are you fracturing? Are you torn at the seams? Would you do anything? Flea-bitten? Motheaten? We suck young blood. Won’t let the creeping ivy Won’t let the nervous bury me Our veins are thin Our rivers poisoned We want the sweet meats. We want the young blood. We suck young blood. We want the young blood.
E (Softly Open our Mouths in the Cold.)
I will eat you all alive And there’ll be no more lies
E (Your Time is up.) Are you hungry? Are you sick? Are you begging for a break? Are you sweet? Are you fresh? Are you strung up by the wrists? (Fois-gras style) We want the young blood.
Genie let out the bottle It is now the witching hour Murderers you’re murderers We are not the same as you Funny haha funny how When the walls bend With your breathing They will suck you down To the otherside To the shadows blue & red Your alarm bells Should be ringing This is the gloaming
(The Boney King of Nowhere.) In pitch dark I go walking in Your landscape Broken branches Trip me as I speak Just because you feel it Doesn’t mean its there Just because you feel it Doesn’t mean it’s there There’s always a siren Singing you to shipwreck Steer away from these rocks We’d be a walking disaster Just because you feel it Doesn’t mean it’s there Just because you feel it Doesn’t mean it’s there There there Why so green & lonely? Heaven sent you to me We are accidents Waiting Waiting to happen We are accidents Waiting Waiting to happen
E (No man’s Land.) I will Lay me down In a bunker Underground.
I won’t let this happen to my children. Meet the real world coming out of my shell With white elephants Sitting ducks. I will Rise up. Little babies’ eyes.
E (No no no no no no no no.) I don’t know why you bother Nothing’s ever good enough for you I was there And it wasn’t like that You came here Just to start a fight You had to piss on our parade You had to shred our big day You had to ruin it for all concerned In a drunken punchup at a wedding Hypocrite opportunist Don’t infect me with your poison A bully in a china shop When I turn round You stay Frozen to the spot The pointless snide remarks Of hammerheaded sharks The pot will call the kettle black It’s a drunken punchup at a wedding
(Judge, Jury & Executioner.) The mongrel cat came home Holding half a head Proceeded to show it off To all his new found friends He said “I been where I liked I slept with who I liked she ate me up for breakfast she screwed me in a vice And now I don’t know why I feel so tongue tied” I sat in the cupboard And wrote it down in neat They were cheering & waving cheering & waving twitching & salivating like with myxomatosis But it got edited, fucked up Strangled, beaten up Used as a photo in Time magazine Buried in a burning black hole in Devon “I don’t know why I feel so tongue tied Don’t know why I feel so skinned alive.” My thoughts are misguided & A little naive I twitch & salivate like with myxomatosis You should put me in a home or you should put me down I got myxomatosis I got myxomatosis “Now no one likes a smart arse”
“But we all like stars” That wasn’t my intention I did it for a reason He shook hands with the cripples & He gave them all milk He did a few card tricks For his mafia geeks But now “I don’t know why I feel so tongue tied”
E (As Dead as Leaves.) I’m walking out In a force ten gale Birds thrown around Bullets for hail The roof is pulling off By its fingernails Your voice is rapping On my window sill Yesterday’s headlines Blown by the wind Yesterday’s people End up SCATTERBRAIN Then any fool can Easy pick a hole (“I only wish I could fall in”) A moving target In a firing range
(continues)
(continued) Somewhere I’m not Scatterbrain Somewhere I’m not Scatterbrain Lightning fuse Powercut SCATTERBRAIN
E (It Girl. Rag Doll.) Drag him out the window Dragging out your dead Singing I miss you Snakes & ladders flip the lid out pops the cracker smacks you in the head knifes you in the neck kicks you in the teeth steel toe caps takes all your credit cards step up get the gunge Get the eggs get the flan in the face the flan in the face the flan in the face Dance you fucker dance you fucker don’t you dare Don’t you dare don’t you Flan in the face Take it with the love its given take it with a pinch of salt take it to the taxman
Let me back let me back I promise to be good don’t look in the mirror at the face you don’t recognize Help me, call the doctor, put me inside put me inside put me inside put me inside put me inside I keep the wolf from the door but he calls me up calls me on the phone tells me all the ways that he's gonna mess me up Steal all my children if I don’t pay the ransom & I’ll never see them again if I squeal to the cops... Walking like a giant cranes & with my X ray eyes I strip you naked in a Tight little world & are you on the list? Stepford wives who are we to complain? Investments & dealers. Investments & dealers. Cold wives & mistresses. Cold wives & Sunday papers city boys in First Class don’t know we’re born just know Someone else is gonna come & clean it up Born & raised for the job Someone always does I wish you’d get up go over get up go over & turn this tape off
