lyrics

You rip me up inside, cos you turn me on Still reeling from the lie – you said your love will never die Now I find myself alone, with no reason why I carried you home when you couldn’t stand Too drunk to justify what you had done Now I’m bleedin’ on the floor and I find that you have gone You have gone, yeah you have gone I carried you home when you couldn’t stand Too drunk to justify what you had done Now I’m bleedin’ on the floor and I find that you have gone You have gone, yeah you have gone You have gone, yeah you have gone

I feel love and I feel it now You and me we’re the same somehow Wanna hold you girl you’re my rose But you won’t let me get that close It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame See me here with my tear-stained eyes Wish you could see with eyes like mine I love you but you don’t love me We’re the same but you just don’t see It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame So come on won’t you tell me now What to do when you’re not around It feels wrong but you’re still the one You’re all I want, I can’t move on It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame Guess I no longer belong Feels like I’m doing you wrong No words can steady your mind Guess I’m not, one of your kind Baby I’m falling for you And there’s nothing I can do You won’t ever feel the same You won’t ever change It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shame It’s such a shame, shaaaame

Absolute Power 05:24
lyrics

I am not, god manifest But if I was, I’d never rest Erase the scum, the human wrecks And hammer out, injustices And that is why, I, could never be God My intolerant eyes, woah Are not meant to be divine And that is why, I, could never be God I’d commit genocide, woah To preserve a way of life I know you’d say, it’s dangerous To contemplate, a massacre And how could I, shed so much blood In a crusade, for something good And that is why, I, could never be God My intolerant eyes, woah Are not meant to be divine And that is why, I, could never be God I’d commit genocide, woah To preserve a way of life I know they’d say, that it’s fascist To try and make, a world like this But it’s not race, nothing ethnic That generates, my prejudice And that is why, I, could never be God My intolerant eyes, woah Are not meant to be divine And that is why, I, could never be God I’d commit genocide, woah To preserve a way of life Here’s what I say - the reprobates They don’t deserve, to respirate They steal and rape, murder and hate Never create, obliterate And that is why, I, could never be God My intolerant eyes, woah Are not meant to be divine And that is why, I, could never be God I’d commit genocide, woah To preserve a way of life I don’t want – Absolute Power x4 We don’t want – Absolute Power x4

Sunset Boulevard 05:07

I’m waltzing, down Sunset Boulevard In a stripy leotard The monkeys all in their Sunday best, line the street Tapping their feet Well they, they whistle a tune for me They whistle a tune for me Aaaa-aaa-aaa-ohh x4 You were just standing, over there Running your fingers through your hair Your eyes putting me to the test, in the heat You ridicule me Well you’re, you’re laughing at me You’re laughing at me Oh no it’s not so bad It’s just another of those dreams, I had Aaaa-aaa-aaa-ohh x4

Come on and smile for me Jenny Don’t you know just how much it would mean? I need you close to me Jenny It was written in the stars that we would be Aaah, shine for me Jenny Look at me and light up my life with your smile I need you close to me always Since you’ve been away, I’ve been out of my mind Hanging around with my head underground Keeping the world at bay Hoping one day you will come back to me And take away my pain Come on and smile for me Jenny Don’t you know just how much it would mean? I need you close to me Jenny It was written in the stars that we would be

Fashion Victim 02:42
lyrics
buy track
Cut price ties so cheap they’re hanging from the rack Slave labour stitched so neat and tidy packed I’m buying one to strangle you when you turn your back Another fashion victim neutralised Gotta love those cut price ties Cut price shoes they shine a method of attack Secret weapon hidden bruising steel toe-caps I’m wearing some to kick you lifeless for a laugh Another fashion victim black and blue Gotta love those cut price shoes Y-fronts no-one wants, their prices slashed I’m stealing some to smother you while you’re in the bath Easy pickings for a willing psychopath Another fashion victim neutralised Gotta love those cut price ‘y’s Tie you down in your dressing gown Mangle you with sandals Get reckless with your necklace Leave your head at a funny angle Another fashion victim neutralised Another fashion victim neutralised Another fashion victim neutralised… … You shouldn’t be seen dead in that dress.

The Red Pills Leeds, UK

The Red Pills took their name from the 1999 movie 'The Matrix.' In one scene, Keanu Reeves' character 'Neo' is presented with a choice of pills to ingest; a red pill or a blue pill. Each is a metaphor - taking the blue pill will allow Neo to continue to live a cosy, comfortable lie. Taking the red pill will allow him to wake up to the truth. ... more
