sometimes i get this lonely feeling and i wanna be up flying that’s when i find myself myself and no one else SOMETIMES I GET THIS LONELY FEELING AND I WANNA BE UP FLYING UP UP beside THE SUN AND sAFE INSIDE A WARM CLOUD’S SILVER LINING OH YEAH THis MEMORY is REMindING me(of) WHAT it’s REALLY meanING up HERE AMONG THE beeS AND TREES AND BREEZE - THIS FLYING so lo FEELING SOMETIMES I GET THE urge TO GET UP too EARLY IN THE MORNING GETTING UP WITH THE BIRDS AND DEW IS SOMETHING NEW FOR ME - is something could be good for me? SOMETIMES I GET THIS LONELY FEELING AND I WANNA BE UP FLYING UP UP beside THE SUN AND sAFE INSIDE A WARM CLOUD’S SILVER LINING up where the sun’s out always dancing even early morning rise it plans each day the same in spite of rain instead of heaving sighs SOMETIMES I GET THIS LONELY FEELING AND I WANNA BE UP FLYING

I’M A DIRT PERSON i’m a dirt person and i don’t hurt to be dirty i’m singing still - and i ain’t no worse for the worry i got enough food - i got a warm bed a slowly leaking roof - hangs above my leaky head i got enough to do - and i don’t mean to be dirty i got a roof - hung above my head in a hurry i keep my nose quite clean – my way to live life lean i don’t eat what they’re feeding me - there’s poison in their pie i’m a dirt person - and i don’t need to feel dirty i got a lot – the plot thickens where money is buried there’s such a lot to dig - pyred garbage, grunting pigs trying to wrap their curly tales - around my whirling wig i’m a dirt person - but i don’t really feel dirty the verdict’s in - long after hanging the jury they tried the judge for greed - for frowning down on me the rumoured thought that what you got - is also what you need i’m a dirt person but my vision’s somewhat gone blurry my world still runs up and over the hill in a hurry i’ve got an ear to lend my knees still bend to stand i’ve even got a lot 2 want but no need left 2 spend

doggin in my brain 05:55
lyrics

the doggin’ in my brain there’s something peaking in prying me with pins checking in my sin getting ‘neath my skin i’m feeling kinda strange could this be insane it’s knocking on my walls drilling it’s peep holes catching all my colds my breathing’s getting old sound sounds almost/ all the same it won’t be well again i think it’s filming me i see me on the screen i act out every scene i’m praying on my knees i wasn’t what i seemed a bit part in the pain of all this suffering i thought i could be brave i had to run away escape this light (heart)of day no truth made sense to me some badly acted play good actors playing vague their lives too memorized i’d cut them to the chase i’d planned my great escape it’s spying with one ear it’s eye a convex mirror be careful what ya got they’re watching like a hawk drowned out fluorescent nights i sleep with blinking lights my moves are not my will he makes me take these pills i hide them in my mouth no chance to spit them out they eventually dissolve taking with him all my resolve i hide where Uboats hide dead living in a dream i traipse unbroken ground twigs snapping as i breathe i’ll tell you what it’s like trapped under the ice breathing for my life my worst fear’s being caught being awoken from a dream inside a buoying submarine i sink to steal from the fire inside the sole survivor i alone but still alive

the sun it keeps on shiningc/seba 02:52
lyrics

the sun it keeps on shining the dogs are in the kitchen – licking up the chicken you’re wife is in a mood – the moon has got her itching and the sun is always shining - your flag is up and flying the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind the pigs are in the pen - being pigs again they’re rolling round the dirt – flirting with the hens and the sun is always shining – the moon is high from rising the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind the boys are in the bars – driving fast their cars driving in the nails - a little bit too far but the sun it’s always shining – the boys are drunk and smiling the sun it keeps on shining and the rain don’t seem to mind

diary of a decomposing dog

this diary on this scary day is one of warmth again and play i am not going to say what my feeling really is in fact it’s just a lark that i have any at all no one’s left to listen, no one ever has, my bed’s been made un-wizened so been judged to be the best, but somehow just one wrinkle in my head is always left. ... more
