"Helena"



Long ago

Just like the hearse you die to get in again

We are so far from you



Burning on just like a match you strike to incinerate

The lives of everyone you know

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

from every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well I've been holding on tonight



[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight



Came a time

When every star fall brought you to tears again

We are the very hurt you sold

And what's the worst you take (worst you take)

from every heart you break (heart you break)

And like the blade you stain (blade you stain)

Well I've been holding on tonight



[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight



Can you hear me?

Are you near me?

Can we pretend to leave and then

We'll meet again

When both our cars collide?



[Chorus]

What's the worst that I can say?

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight

And if you carry on this way

Things are better if I stay

So long and goodnight

So long and goodnight



[Note: Though it sounds like "So long NOT goodnight", there are no such words in CD cover.

So don't try to correct this song, what you hear is the distorted "So long AND goodnight"]









"Vampires Will Never Hurt You"



And if they get me and the sun goes down into the ground

And if they get me take this spike to my heart and

And if they get me and the sun goes down

And if they get me take this spike and

You put the spike in my heart



And if the sun comes up will it tear the skin right off our bones

And then as razor sharp white teeth rip out our necks I saw you there

Someone get me to the doctor, someone get me to a church

Where they can pump this venom gaping hole

And you must keep your soul like a secret in your throat

And if they come and get me

What if you put the spike in my heart



And if they get me and the sun goes down

And if they get me take this spike and



(Come on!)



[Chorus]

Can you take this spike?

Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless

Night time sky

Can you take this spike?

Will it wash away this jet black feeling?



And now the nightclub sets the stage for this they come in pairs she said

We'll shoot back holy water like cheap whiskey they're always there

Someone get me to the doctor, and someone call the nurse

And someone buy me roses, and someone burn the church

We're hanging out with corpses, and driving in this hearse

And someone save my soul tonight, please save my soul



[Chorus]

Can you take this spike?

Will it fill our hearts with thoughts of endless

Night time sky

Can you take this spike?

Will it wash away this jet black now?



(Come on!)



And as these days watch over time, and as these days watch over time

And as these days watch over us tonight

[x2]



I'll never let them, I'll never let them

I'll never let them hurt you not tonight

I'll never let them, I can't forget them

I'll never let them hurt you, I promise



Struck down, before our prime

Before, you got off the floor

Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?



Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?

(And these thoughts of endless night

bring us back into the light

and this venom from my heart)



Can you stake my heart? Can you stake my heart?

(And these thoughts of endless night

bring us back into the light

kill this venom from my heart)



Can you stake me before the sun goes down?



(And as always, innocent like roller coasters.

Fatality is like ghosts in snow and you have no idea what you're up against

because I've seen what they look like.

Becoming perfect as if they were sterling silver chainsaws going cascading...)

"Witches' Rave"



It sounds just like a scream

I don't know what you mean

Your witchcraft's all around me

In your ragged pagan scene



You tell me all the ways around my garden that you like

I float just like a bubble

Heading for a spike



All is well between the breasts of passenger and slave

We'll never make it out alive to join

The witches' rave



You'd like to see him suffer

For you fantasy and thrill

He fell sick while we made love

He's out there, somewhere, still



Oh I feel the spell that you have cast, hot, pink, nasty

Bubble gum, coming down just like a big red coal



I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee

I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee



Hey! I try to keep all hidden

When you come around

Oh, no! The sight of broomsticks

Sliding on the ground

You're levitating something

'Cause I feel so collectible



We're all lying natural

He's watching from a window up above

I see he loves you, I'll bring you closer



Something in my fate says it's not right for me

Tell me

Am I cursed or am I blessed?

I can't tell, oh yes!

'Cause all is well between the breasts of

Passenger and slave

I'll never make it out alive to join

The witches' rave



I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee

I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee

I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee

I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee

I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee

I can't help from looking

Outside for a guarantee

For a guarantee







"Satisfied Mind"



How Many Times, Have u Heard Someone Say,

If I Had Money, I Would Do Things My Way.

But Little They Know, That It's So Hard To Find

One Rich Man In Ten, With A Satisfied Mind.



Money Can't Buy Back, All Your Youth When Your Old

A Friend When Your Lonley, Or Peace To Your Soul

The Wealtiest Person, Is A Pauper At Times

Compared To The Man, With a Satisfied Mind.



When My Life Is Over, And My Time Has Run Out,

My Friends and My Lovers, I Will Leave, Theres No Doubt

But One Things For Certain, When It Comes My Time

I'll Leave This Old World With A Satisfied Mind

But One Things For Certain, When It Comes My Time, Oh Yeah

I'll Leave This Old World With A Satisfied Mind mind mind, mind mind,

Satisfied Mind.









"Demon John"



Say farewell

G'night, Sonny-Jim

In your defenseless

Winning smile

What do you hope to win?

And bliss face down, defended



Well, now stoned Demon John

There's no town the boy cannot belong

Why did you come here?

Is it to excavate all your sins?

Boil within?

Slaughter like the daughter of the devil you send me

I have to deal, you called me here



You couldn't say that you were juiced

The night that you were introduced

To Demon John

Gonna take him with you when you go?

Dance down slow

Oh, way down



You cannot escape the bar-side angel dissector

You undo your life with too much cocoon

Who's your protector?

Dark is the city where the white girls walk by

Down below your eyes, just like fireflies

You call me here, come on here, follow me dear

Past cascades of rage and fear

You called me here



You couldn't say that you had been juiced

The time that you were introduced

To Demon John

Well, you knew you had to want to go

Dance down slow

By the light of the sun

Murder comes

Today or tonight

Better get yourself together

And transcend it, a burst of light

Blaze stars into me

While the love breaks through here and now

So, murder by the light of the sun



Please, don't get too close to me

You said you are for real, it's not pretend

All memories stolen, know this for yourself

How would you like to be the happiest man in the world?

Behind the weathered field hands

Whose blistered paws Harvest cut

For wedding clothes they'll never wear

Marching down a road that was never there

It takes place on a sunlit lace and the backbone broken

Please bring us light

Demon John

You Demon John

Take him with you

When you go.







"Lilac Wine"



I lost myself on a cool damp night

Gave myself in that misty light

Was hypnotized by a strange delight

Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree

Put my heart in its recipe

It makes me see what I want to see

and be what I want to be

When I think more than I want to think

Do things I never should do

I drink much more that I ought to drink

Because (it) brings me back you...



Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, like my love

Listen to me... I cannot see clearly

Isn't that she coming to me nearly here?

Lilac wine is sweet and heady where's my love?

Lilac wine, I feel unsteady, where's my love?

Listen to me, why is everything so hazy?

Isn't that she, or am I just going crazy, dear?

Lilac Wine, I feel unready for my love...









"Grace"



There's the moon asking to stay

Long enough for the clouds to fly me away

Well it's my time coming, i'm not afraid to die

My fading voice sings of love,

But she cries to the clicking of time

Of time



Wait in the fire...



And she weeps on my arm

Walking to the bright lights in sorrow

Oh drink a bit of wine we both might go tomorrow

Oh my love

And the rain is falling and i believe

My time has come

It reminds me of the pain

I might leave

Leave behind



Wait in the fire...



And I feel them drown my name

So easy to know and forget with this kiss

I'm not afraid to go but it goes so slow

"One Hundred Things You Should Have

Done In Bed"



I haven't left here yet, but I'm trying

I'm still tied to the bed

Can you come here?

When you come, would you please bring a knife

And cure me down

Cause this is larger than life and I'm frightened

100 things you should have done in bed

But you never had the chance to try them

At least the dog has a smile on its face

I'm drained and I'm dry and I'm sore

It's not that bad if she could be here all the time

It would kill me

I think I've been broken in tow and I can't scream







"Days Without Paracetamol"



When summer falls asleep

And winter plucks your strings

The colder that you get

Makes you feel at home

Build it up, tear it up, throw it out

If I come round there now

Would you be pleased to see me

I wouldn't make much noise

Just whimper to myself

Build it up, tear it up, throw it out

My head hurts more each time

The drinking strangles me

Believ in God, like hell

Believe in hell, by God
