Evil Heat
02:38
|

|
The man in the fire has smoking eyes
They burn right through to the centre of your soul
Like glowing coals in two black holes
Yeah, like glowing coals in two black holes
The man in the fire has smoking teeth
They're tombstone white like needles underneath
It's been ten long years now scraping in the mud
To build this 'bunkerlow', someplace to go...
Last out baby! In the shade of an old oak tree
That's where I'll be
No ribbons, just me
Somewhere to go when atomic winds blow
Somewhere to sleep between polythene sheets
When the hemispheres meet.
Beast and man will perish together in the evil heat
So it's, last out baby!
Oh, are you gonna wait, or are you gonna go?
Heat
Fire
Last out baby, in the shade of an old oak tree
That's where I'l be
No ribbons, just me.

Bardot Style

You're so hard to get
It's not possible to forget
Your sweet face, you're killer smile
And your hair, Bardot style
I'm stuck on you but flawed
Left out, passed by, ignored
Brushed off like dirt, like shit
You must admit
You like me like this, like...
You're right
You're so hard to please
I'm down, down on my knees
You treat me like a tool,
You're so, so cruel
You're so hard, hard to get.
Yeah, you're so hard
Hard to get.
Yeah, you're so hard

The Claw
02:58

|
Claw is scratching at my door
Claw is scaly and black
And no-one can escape its grip
Claw is scratching at my door
Claw is scaly and black
And no-one can escape its grip
No, no-one can give Claw the slip
Fingers bony and grey
I know I must get away from the Claw
Before he finds me
Yeah, no-one can give Claw the slip
No, no-one can give Claw the slip
Claw, Claw...
God invented Claw before
Mankind trod the earth
Now the Claw is the scourge of us
Yeah, no-one can give Claw the sliip
No, no-one can give Claw the slip
Claw, Claw

Transport Overseas
02:44
|

|
We're on the move
We got transport overseas
We're on the move
We got transport overseas
We bare our teeth, and we stop at bars
Yeah we bare our teeth, and we drink lots of coffee
Behind the wheel of a big fat truck
Where I fuck, if I'm lucky
I spend a long time getting where I'm never on time
Bit like the bus, but they don't go very far
I sit on asses of small Japanese cars
They're never likely to forget the road's my home
Well, when I wake up and I look in the mirror
Yeah when I wake up and I look in that mirror
I don't see myself
I see the world going backwards
No I don't see myself
I see the world in reverse
Cos of transport overseas.
I spend a long time getting where I'm never on time
Bit like the bus but they don't go very far
I sit on asses of small Japanese cars
They're never likely to forget the road's my home
Alone, I'm not myself without transport overseas
I got a lorry load of fish and the freezers blown
In my transport overseas
I'm taking auto parts to foreign parts
In my transport overseas
There ain't nothing you can tell me about axle weights
I got transport overseas
No, ain't nothing you can tell me about intercoolers
I got transport overseas.

Uncle Benson
03:40
|
|||
|
I see them through my window
And I know its gonna start
The thing where they get frisky
And they turn the telly off
Telly off
Telly off
It seems so goddammed easy
But you know it's not that way
Sometimes it seems like they're fighting
But it rarely comes to blows
To blows
To blows
Sometimes it seems like they're fighting
But it rarely comes to blows
I wish I could join the struggle
With a girl who don't like clothes
Like clothes
Like clothes
