ANIMA ANIMUS

Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
I was thinking of you
Thinking frozen land
Make the heart grow fonder
Don't make it separate
Just a small reminder
A keepsake

And when you're feeling sad
Can't imagine happiness
And when you're feeling glad
Alaska shows her greedy hand
Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Starting to fade in Siberian land

In Siberia

Just when you're comforted
Just when you start to breathe
The winter pounces
Like a band of thieves
Oh the pain of joy
Oh the joy of pain

Zoom in
Zoom out
Cut
Pullback
Fade to black

You're disconnected
Disconnected

Make the heart grow fonder
Then obliterate
Just a small reminder
A keepsake
Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Nothing left of you in this Arctic land

In Antarctica

Turn It On

All you rely on
Here come the storms
To shatter control
From the war lords
Can you feel the power
It turns me on
Unpredictable

Turn it on
Feel the power
Invincible

Won't play their games
But we're a playful thing
Everything to risk
Everything to sink
Gonna change what I can
Accept what I can't
Because I've got the power
Chameleon

Turn it on
Feel the power
Unpredictable
Feel the power
Untamable
Turn it on

Hurricane and earthquake
Monsoon and tidal wave
Here come the storms
They really turn me on
Unpredictable
Turn it on

It turns me on
Turn it on

Omnipotent
Unpredictable
Untamable
Invincible
Chameleon
Turn it on

Take Mine

Dog in the manger
Happy days
Why don't you
Take it all
Take what is left
Take mine

Counting out
And putting nothing in
You calculate
And multiply you sins
Take mine

I know you
Scared to be alone
If I were you
I would be too
Take mine

Ruled by this
It needn't be this way
Your misery
Seeking company
Take mine

Are you happy now?

Say

I heard the news today
Billy's gone away
Left us all for good
No one understood
You only had to say
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may

I was feeling low
You called and you were too
We'd meet Saturday
It happened on Wednesday
You only had to say
It's sad
I would understand
I don't want you brave
A truce we made today

If you're feeling sad
On me you can depend
You only have to say

I Was Me!

I can't tell how it all
First began
Just a face at a window
Familiar
So I walked up to see that I was wrong
That's when I first asked if
I was me

Same lips, same hair,
The same stare
When she laughed she was sipping
My favourite drink
With a friend I had known since my birth!
It's not fair

I was me
Not she
Everywhere that I go
I see me
In a life that I had
Not long ago
I'm not recognised or heard but I swear!
I was me I was me
I was me!

I walk through the dawn
In a daze
Same lips, same hair,
The same stare
It's on the tip of my tongue oh oh yeah!
I swear I was me

I was me!
I can't tell how it all
First began
Just a face at a window
Familiar

Prettiest Thing

I am gone - I am sold
Can I take her home while I am sleeping
I put it on - fits so well
Dead fish floating up to the ceiling

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in

I put it on - it fits my soul
You know she spoke these words
While she was sleeping
Razor's edge... sliding in
Razor's edge...
Wanna feel my fingers dipping in
Dip in

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence coming in
Dip in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Such a beautiful violence moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen

Never say never, do it again
Dip in

She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing I'm moving in
She's the prettiest thing I've ever seen
Prettiest thing... I'm coming in

Exterminating Angel

Here it comes again
Taste of jagged glass and rusty can
There are just black holes
Where the stars would be watching
Just black holes
Where the stars should have been
Plumes of dirt
Caress a urine coloured sun
Swarms of angels
Come to kill your sons
And there's nothing but black holes
Where the stars should have been
Nothing but black holes
Where the stars would be watching

Oh those strange argonauts
Digging again in your pit
Cover them in menstrual stream
Cover them in black gold
Plunge them into ingots
Ripping through your menstrual stream
Rising up taste of rusty can
And jagged glass feeling again
Here it comes again...

Hordes of locusts blot out your sun
Raining down - rain on everyone
Poor little rich thing
Poor little bleeding heart
Poor little misunderstood
Piss on it - I'm sick of it
Enough is enough
I wanna fuck it up
In spite of it
Just for the hell of it
I wanna fuck it up
Out of sync - out of phase
Out of sight - out of spite
Raining down, raining everyone
Poor little rich thing
Poor little bleeding heart
Poor little misunderstood
Piss on it - I'm sick of it

Here it comes again...
Taste of jagged glass and rusty can
There are just black holes
Where the stars should have been
Just black holes
Where the stars would be watching

Another Planet

I'm here
On another planet
How's it with you
On your planet
All was surreal
On this planet
It felt so regal - it was so romantic
Now it's all changed
And the plot's unfolding
Another fairy tale
With a twisted end

They're coming out the walls
They're seeping in
There's armies of them crawling
They're coming in

Satellite above
Looks down unblinking
Satellite of thought
Unthinking

They're coming out the walls
They're seeping in
Three odd eyed tentacles
Speak in forked tongues
Sprouting all over me
And blossoming
I'm breaking out the walls
I'm coming in

I'm here
On another planet
How's it with you
On your planet

Satellite above
Looks down unblinking
Satellite of thought
Unthinking

Don't Go To Sleep Without Me

Don't you go
Without me
Don't go
And
Leave me here
When I lie
On my side
Feel my heart
Being crushed
Falling through
The spaces
Falling though
An unlit scene
Sleep dust
On
Your eyelids
Mahjong tiles
Flicker serene
Play the four winds
In
Dim lit bars
Aqualung feels
Heavy
Don't you go
Without me
Don't you go
And
Leave me here
