Critical or Hypocritical

The donation I’m making seems nothing at all But don’t condemn me as I don’t have any more The clothes I’m wearing are tattered and torn As I enter your church I see eyes full of scorn I’m glad that the Lord doesn’t wear your goat’s horns You think yourself flawless from the day you were born
At times it’s wise to be somewhat critical But no-one’s perfect so don’t be too cynical Though in a fallen world feelings can be difficult We shouldn’t give in and become hypocritical
You told me it’s a sin to take your own life Yet you leapt through a stained glass window last night You made me repent from the things I’d said to you But you weren’t sorry for your own cruel point of view I really ought to hate your type for what you have done But I only feel pity that your misery has just begun
At times it’s wise to be somewhat critical ...

WOMAN OF THE MOUNTAIN
I climbed to the mountain top
Slid and slipped among the rocks
Then I reached the summit where
The sun it shone through her fair hair
Her golden eyes dazzled in the sunset
She was the loveliest sight I’d ever met
Woman of the mountain who is always countin’ Every time a life she claims Woman of the mountain washes in the fountain To cleanse all her sins away
She lived in the wind-torn heights
Glowing in the noonday lights
The sight of her chilled my veins
Filling me with tingling pains
Yet I was not afraid of her
I had no fear of this ....
Woman of the mountain ...
She stretched out her arms so free
As slowly she came to me
Her cold hands closed around me
I felt myself drift away
As I fell out into space I’d become another victim of ...
Woman of the mountain ...

VENUS IN FERRARIS
Venus infers but does not imply
She rolls the dice but never says die
Frequently gives an invitation to the sky
Yet from a worldly view her existence is awry
She’s a Venus in Ferraris And she crashes all the parties Like an alien model you can make She’s a Venus in Ferraris Has no truck with Scotland Yardies And she’s stranger than the Lady of the Lake
Venus takes flight back from the abyss
She’s aptly cognomened rara avis
Lemmings turn back in the nick of cliff time
From the avatar who’s become a paradigm
She’s a Venus in Ferraris...
Venus is a tonic for catatonics
In the computerised age of robotics
A transparent touch can be so beguiling
If you are her foe beware of her smiling
She’s a Venus in Ferraris...

THINK POSITIVE
Throw away the vallium pour away the drink6
It’s time to sever that negative link
Don’t mix with losers and you’ll recover
Listen to your mother and you won’t go under
Think positive if you want to live. It’s good to receive but it’s better to give Think positive and cast bad thoughts out Much better to whisper than to scream and shout
Shake off the gremlins give up on crack
It’s your only way of ever getting back
Don’t become a beast like Mr Hyde
Just wave and smile and you’ll turn the tide
Think positive if you want to live ...
Discard the demons reject your dark side
Spit out the poison and swallow your pride
Don’t drive your car on that road to hell
Take my advice and avoid that padded cell
Think positive if you want to live...

The Psychotic Stranger

THE PSYCHOTIC STRANGER
Please observe me the psychotic stranger
Red lights in my eyes pulsate for danger
All windows shatter as I glance their way
Glassy projectiles go astray - " hey hey"
Animals explode when I pat their heads
People dissolve as they climb from their beds
Cars corrode by numbers while roads collide
And unlike Canute I reverse every tide
Psychotic tick tick tick Who is sick? Psychotic Take your pick trick cyclist On my wick? Psychotic
Police open fire but do not believe
Bullets turn to air and will not touch me
Whole streets crumble before turning to dust
With every footprint I place in trust
Buildings quiver quake and shake to pieces
Shower brick and dust expired leases
Monoliths and memorials turn to ash
When the tips of my fingers glow and flash
Psychotic tick tick tick...
Women are absorbed by my pulsing charm - “no harm”
As I swallow their lives at the point of alarm
Clocks turning anticlockwise in and out of time
The parameters of space are all within mine
Even superheroes bow down before my face
Paying full homage to the one man master race
Now the whole of mankind speaks out my great name
Not so strange since I came with fame to shame their game
Psychotic tick tick tick... Psychotic psychotic Stir your emotions to the quick Psychotic psychotic Take a walk with a pointed stick Psychotic tick tick tick

DO THE TWIST (RUBIK’S CUBE)
Let’s do the twist with a flick of the wrist Let’s twist again our loss Rubik’s gain
From a teacher in Budapest
Came a 3D geometric test
Soon it caught on in the West
Now the world will never rest
Do the twist Rubik’s cube Let’s all twist Rubik’s cube Do the twist Rubik’s cube Twist twist twist Rubik’s cube
Forty three trillion permutations
Try them all and keep your patience
For some it will take for ever
Though it’s been done in twenty seconds
Do the twist...
Beware or be driven insane
From this compelling frustrating game
Red yellow green orange white and blue
Most of us haven’t got a clue
Do the twist...

EXTREME MARLENE I am normal You’re abnormal I am natural And you’re unnatural I do hope that I shall never Sink to the same level as you
In my dreams you’re so extreme Compared in every way to me You’re the one I’ll never believe The one I call by name Marlene
I’m like a metropolis While you’re a necropolis I am something But you’re beyond help I never do look up to you And I won’t put you above hell
In my dreams you’re so extreme...

PRINTED CIRCUIT
I've had an operation Deep right down inside my brain I've had a printed circuit put there So I'm no longer insane No more mortal feelings No more emotions No more need for human beings I'd rather remain alone
Printed Circuit
Printed Circuit
I know it will determine My pattern of existence At least I know I've become perfect and need put up no resistance No more depression No more perversion No more thoughts of aggression I've never been more certain

COME BACK CYNTHIA
I broke your back I broke your heart
But please give me another chance
I burnt your clothes I drowned your dog
Now I'm so sorry that I've done wrong
Come c-c-come c-c-come back Cynthia I'm in a state of t-total hysteria Come c-c-come c-c-come back Cynthia Now that you're gone I'm s-so delirious
I abused your love I took too much
And soon I knew you'd had enough
I stole your car I always sinned
But I regret everything I did
Come c-c-come c-c-come back Cynthia...
I smashed our home I wrecked your car
Though I can't stand it now we’ve had to part
I killed your ma I killed your pa
Yet all that I want is a fresh start
Come c-c-come c-c-come back Cynthia...
I've got feelings although I show them In an unfeeling way
I'll start screaming if you don't believe in Anything I say

NOT ANOTHER NIGHTMARE TRIP!
I have heard the dying screams of the victims of oppression Both in the east and in the west all under pain of death We're living beneath the black cloud of world wide depression The downtrodden masses gasping out a unified terminal breath.
Here comes another nightmare journey Try surviving in a town that's burning Screaming terror brings a nightmare trip Beware of the dogma behind the whip
I have felt the suffering of all the prisoners of conscience Been powerless against those warmongers in each alien state Empathised with lives torn apart by mindless violence And trembled as an antisocial horde sealed every fate
Here comes another nightmare journey...
I have stood like Marius in the ruins of Carthage And watched happy families dissolving into enmity I've seen another terrorist shooting another hostage Observed the four horsemen bringing destruction to tranquillity
Here comes another nightmare journey...
A nightmare trip is a shot from the hip A nightmare tripper is a hemlock sipper

THE DEATH-WISH DRIVERS’ CLUB
Via Longa Vita Brevis
Your god is a fast car Speeding down the boulevard You think you’re master behind the wheel But you’re just a slave to the road
Driving through the night down Route 66 Took me by surprise to the river Styx Grim reaper riding shotgun didn’t feel too well In my burnt out shell on the road to hell
Your god is a fast car...
Crushing the gas pedal with my achilles heel Maniacal hands upon my steering wheel Feeling hypnotised by my windshield wiper Following the trail of the asphalt pied piper
Your god is a fast car...
I am a car crash in human form A wreckage of a man far beyond the norm I am a car crash in human form A turbo charged psycho driven firestorm
Your god is a fast car...
I’ll drive a burning car through your frozen heart Or commit autothanasia in your automart I’ll drive a burning car through your frozen heart Or be trampled underfoot by your horse and cart
The wheel turns the rubber burns The death-wish driver never learns

AVOID THE VOID
A-V-O-I-D the V-O-I-D A-VOID the V-O-I-D A-V-O-I-D the V-O-I-D A-V-O-I-D the VOID
The past has passed and the future is futile
Space turns you senile and makes you infantile
We mustn't pass the buck to the kingdom above
As leaping into space killed our deepest love
Avoid the void - void -avoid - avoid the void
I used to be living on a tightrope But out there I lived on a knife edge What I say reverberates with sense If I return I'll go out of my head
Avoid the void - void - avoid - avoid the void
There is no more noise - it'll make you annoyed
The silence of the void leaves your mind destroyed T
here's a maggot in the heart of every planet's core
The thin end of the wedge is the final straw
Avoid the void - void - avoid - avoid the void
It is hard to make ends meet In an open Universe

AFFINITY WITH THE INFINITY
I like that place I like that space
All earthly desires are a waste
If I had a chance I wouldn't hesitate
I'd be on my way and leave no trace
I have an affinity with the infinity
I'll take a trip I don't exist In mind upon this planet I have a wish and can't resist To achieve it would take magic
I have an affinity with the infinity
You can take away my virginity You can even take my sanity But I'll never lose my affinity My affinity with the infinity
I have an affinity with the infinity

VANESSA DANE
I went to the doctor in the pouring rain Complaining of a terrible pain I took off my clothes he examined me I was shocked by what it turned out to be I'd already heard all about her But like a fool didn't believe a word And now I was going to suffer So why did I become her lover?
As I sank down into the hardbacked chair I knew how it was to have a bad scare Gritted my teeth and began to scream As the needle point punctured my skin My thoughts sped all around my head And I almost wished that I was dead The doctor tried to calm me down Treating me like a hysterical crowd
Vanessa Dane Vanessa Dane You've such a lot to explain Vanesa Dane Vanesa Dane Well now I know your game Vanessa Dane Vanessa Dane There's so much to your name Vanessa Dane Vanessa Dane Your initials cause the pain
Later that day I weakly went back And told my baby that she'd better pack Said I'd learnt she'd deceived me all along I'd thought her faithful but been proven so wrong Said I'd finished sleeping with her Since the sex dream had become a nightmare Then she fell right down at my feet Wanting to stay she began to weep
She wouldn't go when I showed her the door So I slammed her head against the bedroom wall My heart pounded as I meant to strangle her But I realised in time that it wasn't the answer To waste my fury on a creature like that On a girl who was worse than a sewer rat Instead I threw her into the night streets To rot in hell far away from my sheets Vanessa Dane Vanessa Dane You've such a lot to explain ...

I said "Go outside and play in the traffic"
Then she fell in front of a forty ton artic
Before she even had time to panic
She was flattened into the tarmac
Then she died on the operating table
