Lyrics
Sweet Stuff
Skin and bones
covered in drapery
a gargoyle smile
has to be ecstasy
on the loose
running through the undergrowth
barefoot slipping, kicking up gravel
bleeding like pigs, shredding in tatters
sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet stuff.
Have you ever been happy,
emotional smile,
skinny kids laughing when fat kids cry.
Cadaver, cadaver
skin and bones, skin and bones
yeah ma
running through the undergrowth
barefoot slipping, kicking up gravel
bleeding like pigs
shredding in tatters.
Have you ever been happy
emotional smile
skinny kids laughing when fat kids cry
bleeding like pigs
shredding in
tatters
wrapping in shrouds
wrapping in heather
the last one
fat kid cries.
Stay out of the Water
Yes I can see the water
do what I tell you to
don't you go in the water
you stay out of that water
there's lots of things in there
there's lots of stuff in there
there's lots of oil in there
there's lots of animals in there.
Clang!
I lay on my back on the floor near the bed
and watch you go, watch you go
Girl in the bar and girl undressed
girl in my house and girl in bed
Was it good (oh I don't know)
that's your little secret
that's your game
and I never knew your name
or where you live.
I lay on my back on the floor by the bed
and watch you go, watch you go
Girl in the bar and girl undressed
girl in my house who screams in bed
Sucking where the ceiling lies
sucking in the cellar
Sucking where the ceiling lies, sucking in the
cellar
Pink interiors, pink disguise
I never thought you'd be so nice.
