V2 (S. O`Néill)


I`ve got a june-bug crawlin`
It dears to come
It really dears to come
She could say no
No
No

Really tryin` tryin` to say no
Yes some easy trouble
It is a one way dream
Maybe I
Said no
No
No

And I`ve need
Plague for a partial
Called Captain Fear to come
As a rag-doll changed yours
It doesn`t know
Know
Know


LETTUCE (S. O`Néill)


So who`s the kind of fool
When he comes
Makes your eyes
Fill like glass

All around on the table
You open like
Lettuce

Gonna take some
I`m gonna take some
When I get it

I can`t get no sleep
I can`t breath
But it makes me feel 
Better
I`m electric
I`m charged
I`m floored
And now I`m getting higher

Gonna take some
I`m gonna take some
When I get it

Gonna take some
I`m gonna take some
Gonna take some
I`m gonna take some
When I get it


BLINDSPOT (S. O`Néill / R. O`Gormain)


Light a candle
In your heart
Watch it burn down
Silently
Try to recollect
Your thoughts and fears
As the flame dies
They`re all to clear

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will

When there`s no strenght
Left in you
No more time now
For hopeless dreams
Bleary eyes raise
And start to fall
To the sound
Of tomorrow

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will

On a freefall
From innocence
Subliminal wispers
Crowd your room
Forever haunted by
Your own despair
Your hopes evaporate
Into thin air

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will

When the day comes
Still no one`s here
So what`s the easy way
To carry on
Always reaching out
For something else
But in the smokescreen
You`re lost again and again and again and again

The Cavalry Bells say you will
Say you will


CAN`T STOP (S. O`Néill / R. O`Gormain)


I`ve had a masochistic kiss of death
Of discontent wall to wall
A hoodlum shrine for nothing more
That went beyond the steel and call

I can`t stop falling
I can`t stop falling

But I was keen to do the perfect
Not what Angels do discriminate
Against black and white
I`m alright
And isn`t it time
Your socks pulled up

I can`t stop falling
I can`t stop falling

It`s like some voyeuristic tradition
Of naked hate
More and more
A feeble kind of subtlety
That`s lost beneath veeners of shocks

I can`t stop falling
I can`t stop falling

I can`t stop falling
I can`t stop falling

I can`t stop falling
I can`t stop falling

I can`t stop


TIGHTLIPPED (C. McLaughlin)


Gradually the lights have gone out
Steadily a fantasy unfurls
Purposely the seeds of doubt
Are being shown by a faceless world
Perpetrating verbiage
Gullible minds accept
This is blanket coverage
Blots out all that it rejects

Can you
See through
The silence and the boldface lies
Can you
See through
The silence and the boldface lies

Quietly swept under the mat
J. P. remains thightlipped
Everyone can turn their backs
Facts are being twisted and skipped

Can you
See through
The silence and the boldface lies
Can you
See through
The silence and the boldface lies

All will point condemning fingers
All will play the liberal card
But the stench of lies will linger
In your own backyard

Can you
See through
The silence and the boldface lies
Can you
See through
The silence and the boldface lie


CIRCUSVILLE (S. O`Néill)


You think I should show some respect
I`d rather tear down all I can wreck
`Cause I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
It`s dangerous to show you respect

Poison is all that you`ve spread
Are you proud of the bigots you`ve bred
Don`t think for me
Don`t think for me
While you wallow in your nice clean bed

Does your family kiss you goodbye
Are those crocodile tears in your eyes
Don`t look for me
Don`t look for me
When it`s the last time they kiss you bye bye

You think I should show some respect
I`d rather tear down all I can wreck
`Cause I can see it in your eyes
I can see it in your eyes
It`s dangerous to show you respect

Poison is all that you`ve spread
Are you proud of those bigots you`ve bred
Don`t think for me
Don`t think for me
While you wallow in your nice clean bed


CHEAPSKATES (S. O`Néill)


As the day flickers
And tastes of June
Not a soul stares
At a virgin moon

And double breasted
A pretty serious dude
Commits an iceberg
To hum those blues

A hungry face
Without a sound
Listens the rhythms
That are going down


MOUTH CRAZY (S. O`Néill)


Hinklestein`s inside his cabinet
Outside stinks of fish and crèpe suzette
Shut that crazy mouth
Shut that crazy mouth
Hinklestein`s inside his cabinet

Only fierce girls mix with father John
They`re pushing up the daisies in the sun
Shut that crazy mouth
Shut that crazy mouth
He never used to talk to anyone

Hinklestein`s adrift on uisce fhior
That perfume sucker baby`s swamed with tears
Shut that crazy mouth
Shut that crazy mouth
Hinklestein`s adrift on uisce fhior

Barracuda bites on wagging tongues
It makes your adolescence start up wrong
Shut that crazy mouth
Shut that crazy mouth
It`s just the tool you used on everyone

Hinklestein`s around
Hinklestein`s around
Hinklestein`s around
Hinklestein`s around
Hinklestein`s around
Hinklestein`s around
Hinklestein`s around
Wow
