Sunny

Yellow is my colour
all around is yellow
my insides are yellow too.
I am so sunny
I see the sunflower lady
dancing wildly
she is me and I am her
she is so sunny
And when I am holding her
I feel so sunny
so much so the clouds get away, get away, get away, get away
Follow me,
to the garden,
playing out 'til morning,
dandelions grow from our body
and I grew them myself
And when I am holding myself
I feel so sunny
so much so the clouds get away, get away, get away, get away
Hail the sunflower lady!
my friend and lover
says 'I can make you light again,
I will soothe your pain.
All things can exist here,
tenderness and sorrow'
And when I'm holding her,
I feel so sunny
and when I am holding her
I feel so sunny
And when I am holding her
I feel so sunny
so much so the clouds get away, get away, get away, get away

So So Sad

You can find me
in the grasp of an empty glass
crying wildly and talking fast
oh my.
Not surprising,
I’m far gone as I’m so so sad
I’ve drilled light years above my chest
mmmm.
Alright,
come close, she says
I have a feeling I can’t get
from any man or anyone else I’ve ever met.
And maybe I’m a fool
for you.
Something exquisite that you do,
I’m jaded or I’m bitter of you I confess.
She says I just want to make you happy.
Can’t you see that I,
I’m so, so so sad,
I’m so so sad
Mmmm
I’m so, so so sad
I’m so so sad
mmmm.
You can find me,
in the grasp of an empty glass
dancing wildly and talking fast
oh my.
I bruise lightly,
so she’s soft as I’m so so sad,
cartoon palms up against my back,
mmmm.
She says I just want to make you happy,
I just want to make you happy.
She says I just want to make you happy
I can make you happy,
Oh so happy.
She said maybe I could make you happy,
Can’t you see that I’m,
So sad,
So so sad
I’m so so sad
Mmmm,
I’m so, so so sad,
I’m so so sad,
mmmm,
I’m so, so so sad,
I’m so so sad,
I’m so, so so sad,
I’m so so sad,
mmmm.

Peach

My man
never was quite my man but we had something going on
it was a good thing,
I'd like to think for both of us
When you said we'd always be good good friends
it had to be good
Seemed almost a good thing
but I,
Can't find another peach
quite as ripe as you were
for you are your own kind of fruit
I suppose,
I suppose
And it smells like sex again come evening
the bedroom is a mess
sometimes found it hard to let him in,
but boy to let him out again
As I fall asleep we're breathing heavy,
tangled into one body
like a sugared pretzel,
but you're a fine peach of a man
I wake,
swallowed up in the pit of your arm and your chest
crying for the last time
oh I want you for the last time.
your words so peachy and sweet
your eyes flit to my eyes
murmur kiddo please don't cry but how will I
find another peach
quite as ripe as you were
for you are your own kind of fruit
that I know,
that i know.
And it smells like sex still when he leaves,
I'm my only friend
sometimes found it hard to let him in,
but boy to let him out again.
I've words stuck between my teeth I'm cleaning,
slowly by the sink
I wink to a fine
peach of a gal
doo doo doo doo doo doo doo.....
And I'll miss you in the evening
when we're alone and doing friend things
glorious friend things,
two forbidden fruit
know your wife will be so fucking lucky
hope she knows how good she's got it cos I do
oh I adored you
still want to travel to you
you find fine fine..
peach of a man

To Be A Human
03:53
|
|||
|
We've been fooled,
that to live fully, let men in masks carve out your body
but that's not true.
it's not yours my love,
no.
And when I crawled,
out of the womb, I was bruised and naively enthused
and how I was bold
that was enough back then
oh
what're you thinking about?
and oh,
oh to be bold again,
oh,
to unsee what I've seen.
and I,
I've been so low,
I've been so lonely I'm holding myself like a child but I can't cope
it can be a lot,
to be a human I know
And when I'm dead
free from my cages, I'll wear lilac threads from the ages
tight on my chest
before it rots
and I'll rot
what are you thinking about?
and oh,
oh to be bold again,
oh,
to unsee what I've seen.
and I,
I've been so low,
I've been so lonely I'm holding myself like a child but I can't cope
it can be a lot,
to be a human I know
And it's alright to be human in this life
It's alright to feel human in this life
I'm not a sailor of my emotions
I am but a painter,
come let me paint with you my love
come let me paint with you my love
come let me paint you
I'll paint with you love
let me paint with you

Sink Like A Stone (Live)
02:46

My babe,
loves me more than words can say
Even when I'm light years away,
He calls me sunshine and holds me regardless.
My face looks odd,
looking in from outside of his arms.
When I can't keep up clinging on
I fall like weights in the palms of his arms like a stone
In a sea of foreigners eyes,
he helps me feel things sometimes.
Smells vaguely of peace of mind
I want to breath with you tonight.
and the weight it comes and the weight it goes.
into the mind I fall
where i sink like a stone,
I sink like a stone
If this is easy,
why doesn't it feel easy?
I'm tearing at the walls and i don't feel okay.
Silly me lord knows i need it to add meaning to my name
So I roll my body over again
and there's a cold look in those eyes
it makes me feel afraid sometimes
like I'm falling off of new heights,
I want to breath with you tonight
and the weight it comes and the weight it goes,
into the mind I fall
where i sink like a stone
i sink like a stone
I sink like a stone
I sink like a stone
