1.Ich Bin Kunst
Ich Bin Kunst
Can't you see？
Look at you
Then look at me
I am art
You're parody!
Ich Bin Kunst
Je suis art(tres tres debonair)
Because you don't
Because I dare
I blow your mind
C'est mon plaisir
Ich Bin Kunst
It started when I was only a boy
I couldn't kick a ball, climb a tree, play at war
I took pleasure in the things that make men shudder
I dressed up in the wardrobe of my mother!
My father said 'Don't panic, it's a phase'
Phase One, I said and snipped and sewed for days
I dreamed of London town, ardent fashion was my thing
I arrived and took a job in Burger King
(it was nothing!)
Ich Bin Kunst
Can't you see？
Look at you
Then look at me
I am art
Ha, you're parody!
Ich Bin Kunst
Je suis art(tres tres tres debonair)
Because you don't
and because I dare
I blow your mind
C'est mon plaisir
Ich Bin Kunst
2.St. Christopher
Sexual attraction, its all in the eye
Like oil on water, aint no reason why
Somebody rejects you, don't you feel like you could die
Oh spare me don't give me non of that, you knew crap
Cos your lying here with your pretty head in my lap
Stripped to the waist, higher than the stars
We all need tenderness sometimes, so we know who we are
Just for a moment I looked in the mirror and saw
my ugliness looking so insecure
I know whats up fool you got the bug
You're drunk on the stuff you're in love with love
Don't be no sucker your heart is tough
It ain't about him your in love with love
Sweet St. Christopher you got a cheeky grin
And you took me home instead of him
But in love or war no one ever wins
Oh do me a favour spare me all that crap
You ain't no spider in a web and you were'nt trapped
Just for a moment I thought I had really scored
Then I felt like a devil and you looked extremely bored
I know whats up fool you got the bug
You're drunk on the stuff you're in love with love
Don't be no sucker your heart is tough
It ain't about him your in love with love
Your in love with love
Everyones in love with love
Im in love, Im in love with love
Didn't someone once tell ya you're a god damn flirt
But what you refuse to hear, it can never hurt
But I still dig you baby, for what it's worth
And please think of me next time your poor heart hurts
3.She Was Never He
Natasha was a stunning vision
Painted eyes with such precision
Longer legs than any girl i know
Switching down on Old Kent Road
With her lips on overload
Making sure the loneliness don't show
She was never he
For as long as I remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Though the boys at school were cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
That she was never...
Jody she was 'quelle surprice'
Fooled the boys with such a breeze
But inside her heart the terror flows
What if he should realize
Break her heart or black her eyes
These things are so important for a girl to know
She was never he
For as long as I remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Oh this world can be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
And the government says you no longer excist
It's a kick in the eye, it's the final twist
Of the Surgeons Knife
Welcome to my glamorous life
Oh the big dark man will he turn a blind eye
Love me for who i am turned me out and made me cry
She was never he
For as long as i remember
She was never off her gender categorically
She was never he
Oh this world can be so cruel
You would have to be a fool not to see
That she was never he
4.Cheapness And Beauty
This is a real addiction
confusion and cheap tattoos
A princess
a car thief
and a lost shoe
Lonliness
laughter and lust
the promise of pain
Judas in blue jeans tell me your name
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes
glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I'm so weak sometimes
Glue for the broken toy
wings for the saint
A buddah
a false God, and some war paint
Wasting your wisdom, yes
but who can you trust
Love holds a mirror up to all of us
Eyes across the room, unspoken
Eyes
glitter promise
Cheapness and beauty
Trickery and lies
Cheapness and beauty
Oh I need you sometimes
It's much too late to say goodbye
Despite all good advice
This pain is such a part of me
I won't apologize
For running to your rescue
Thoug you slap me in the face
It doesn't really matter
cos we always fall in love again
5.Fat Cat
Another song of Woe
Woe sounds like this
You say nothing's changed
Where were you when my world
Was spinning into masquerade
You claim it's just a question of mathematics
I shut the door on your amateur dramatics
Then you think too much
And you talk too much, vicariously
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
And you hurt yourself
You say I'm deranged
I'll admit to being strange
But I just can't stop loving you
If the light in your eyes
Addiction came as a surprise
Didn't think I'd be so into you
Then you think too much
And you talk too much
so carelessly
Yeah you think too much
And you talk too much
Every word is substance free
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last sighing breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
You're the dirt on my collar
You're the hole in my favourite shoe
You're the last - last dying breath of love
You're the weight that I need to lose
6.If I Could Fly
Stone by the river
got no wind in my sail
No revolutions in my soul
Hey, revelation's just
a moment away
Soon I'm gonna be old
soon you're gonna be old
Remember love is not
something you can keep
It just takes the wind
to blow it away
You look so ugly
as you lie there asleep
Boy you're pretty today
so pretty today
When I was born they poisoned my mind
They told me to fight but I'm not that kind
They said I was meek but I did not mind
It's a case of the weak chasing the blind
I see the stars have spelt
your name in the sky
I wrote it too down
here in the sand
When I first met you
you stirred nothing at all
See the cards in your hand
see the cards in your hand
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I'd take to the sky
I feel so special when
I'm making you cry
I regret the things
I throw in your face
This drug will kill you darling
this is no lie
This dragon we chase
this dragon we chase
And
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
Oh if I could fly
I'd take to the sky
7.Unfinished Business
Boy I know your secrets though you
Brag and swagger
and you lay women down
You're the same tough guy
that cried in my arms
And kissed me when the lights went down
I hear you married some
Danish girl
I'm so glad that it wasn't me
'Cause you're like so many of those
boys I've known
You break your promise easily
Unfinished business
fox in the headlights
Tears for what might have been
Unfinished business
crawling out of the woodwork
You know how to ruin
a good dream
See your life reflected in my
painted eyes
These memories are hard to shake
I pressed my lips against your
trembling flesh
And waited for your back to break
You liar, you coward, you
sleeping fool
Hey don't you know that secrets kill
Heaven and hell are right
here on Earth
Decided by your own free will
Unfinished business
fox in the headlights
Tears for what might have been
Unfinished business
crawling out of the woodwork
I know how to ruin a good dream
Now go tell your friends that I'm
mad in my head
That I don't know what I mean
You walk like Jack and you
love like Mary
And you're more than a bit of a queen
Unfinished business
You know exactly what I mean
You lie, you lie, you lie
You lie, you lie, you lie
Unfinished business, yeah tough guy
You know exactly what I mean
8.Julian
Felt like my live revolved behind your hazel eyes
Those scatter-cushion lips, eyelashes that flutter like a
butterfly
Your arms around me in the morning oh in the catalogue of life
So many things just don't add up
your just a child why should I be surprised
Why can't you pick up the phone
Oh how gutless can you be
Run as far as you can
You'll never escape me
Oh Julian don't tell me it was all just lies
Oh Julian don't keep it all internalized
Oh Julian your just a small boy in a big mans world
I said some foolish things but you took my voice away
Like an audience of one, such a lonely game to play
Hey you feel so much, have you nothing more to say
Except just leave me alone
we'll both laugh about this one day
Don't tell me the world is changing
You're living proof of just how uptight it can be
And a fag who hates himself is her own worse enemy
Oh Julian was it anything for fame
Oh Julian will ya do it all again
Oh Julian the fizz has gone from your champagne
I hold nothing back, I give it all away
I am the Thunder 317
blue eyed, vulnerable seeking and similar
Camp-acting, very scene, Im flaming, Im screaming
looking for someone brave enough to love me
Oh Julian don't tell me it was all just lies
Oh Julian don't keep it all internalized
Oh Julian your just a small boy in a big mans world
9.Wrong
Allow me my own diginity...
I came to the city with my head so full of dreams
The city was safe alright but not from me
See I've been in trouble since I lay my suitcase down
I love the sound of my own voice, but now I want it drowned
I've got nothing to be proud of
There's so little I possess
I gave away my love and my, my diginity
And somehow I covered up the rest
How did it all go so wrong？
It was nothing like this in the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind
saying boy you'll never amount to anything
I clutched at desire I never listened to my heart
I didn't know I had one, that it could beat so fast
Oh I've been a user, such a liar, such a fake
Always thinking of myself, always on the make
Now I've got nothing I can give you
Except self-pity and regret
but if you let me prove I love you
I'll be the one boy you'll never forget
How did it all go so wrong？
It was nothing like this on the Tv screen
I can hear my mothers voice, hear her crying in the wind
saying boy, baby boy, you can be anything
How did it all go so wrong？
It was nothing like this in the magazines
I can hear my fathers voice, hear his laughter in the wind
He was right, I'll never be anything
He was right, I'll never be anything
10.Letter To A School Friend
I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alive
So much pain so many tears to hide
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Your mother rejected you and your brother died
and your old man had such brutal pride
he just couldn't take your sensitive side
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
I read your letter and I laughed out loud
You were crazy then and you're still crazy now
A schoolgirl rebel not some face in the crowd
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Your daddy was cruel you mothers spirit was free
She left you alone to go and dance on the beach
Yeah and we were the freaks who they could not teach
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
I wish you love cos your heart is pure
From the hell of school to the closet door
They said we were fools but we need so much more yeh yeh
I hope your happy now
I read your letter and I wept inside
You and me were so much alive
So much pain so many tears to hide
But I hope your happy now
Yes I hope your happy
Yes I hope your happy now
I hope your happy
Yes I hope your happy now
Hope your happy
Hope your happy now
11.The Deal
Black woman on the street with attitude
Spits through her teeth and stares at you
White boy with the living blues
Spreads his hatred on a crowded tube
Some days I feel removed
But all I can do is think of you
I feel like I am being used yeh yeh
Well you bruise me and you batter me
and you make me feel the twist
I try to convince myself
that im strong because of this
My friends say Im beautiful
But it's time to get real
I try to find some hatred
But I can't change the way I feel
And this murder happens all around my heals
But it aint real you are the deal
And theres poison flowing all around my head
And here I am all alone in bed
OId queen on the ship of fools
you're worried that it might sail for you
White lies from the broken youth
Who hasn't got the nerve to counsell you
Some days I feel amused
But all I can do is think of you
I feel like I've been such a fool yeh yeh
Well you bruise me and you batter me
and you make me feel like dirt
And just for one minute
I've forgotten what I'm worth
My friends say you're beautiful
But it's time I got real
Im staring at your picture
But I can't change the way I feel
And this murder happens all around my heals
But it aint real you are the deal
And this poisons flowing all around my head
And here I am filled with regret
Is it not enough
to just feel the love
and give it
why cant you give it
Is it not enough
to just feel the love
and live it
why cant you live it
why cant you give it
oh why cant you give it
why cant you give it
oh why cant you give it
You are the deal
You are the deal
You are the deal
You are the deal
12.Losing Control
Sometimes I sit and contemplate
The bitterness of my lonely state
I know, I know I do create
These feelings in my heart
I look to you but you're confused
I feel like I can only lose
Stand a while inside my shoes
Feel the rain come down
Am I losing control, am I losing control
Was I weaker when I met you
Try and leave, I just can't let you
Am I losing control
Am I losing you？
Am I losing control？
Sometimes I sit and contemplate
The hatred that I generate
Tell me it is not my fate
To lose before I start
Oh you with eyes like thickened skies
When did ya start to mesmerise
Loving words a thin disguise
You know you are a star
Am I losing control, am I losing control
Was I weaker when I met you
Try and leave, I just can't let you
Am I losing control
Am I losing you？
Am I losing control？
I should've changed that stupid lock
I should've made you leave me be
If I'd known for just one minute
You'd become a part of me
Am I losing control, am I losing control
Was I weaker when I met you
Try and leave, I just can't let you
Am I losing control
Am I losing you？
Am I losing control？
13.Same Thing In Reverse
How does it feel
what do you do
When he's all alone with you
Do you kiss him
hold his hand
Who's the woman
who's the man
Is it twisted
is it sick
Mother nature's little trick
I don't have to feel no shame
In God's image I am made
Your brother doesn't understand
How you could love another man
And your poor father thinks we're cursed
It's the same thing in reverse
It's the same thing in reverse
Nothing better nothing worse
It's the same thing in reverse
It's the same thing, it's the same thing
What can you say
where do you go
Do you want the world to know
Make a prison of your fear
Be a kamikaze queer
Bite my lip
hold my tongue
Hope I'm not the only one
I don't have to feel no shame
In God's image I am made
Your brother doesn't understand
How you could love another man
And your poor father thinks we're cursed
It's the same thing in reverse
It's the same thing in reverse
Do I love him
yes I love him
So don't question my affection
This is not some damn afliction
It's just in contradiction
Black boys in carsm and
White boys with poisonous hearts
Even on the one eyed guru
Why the hell are you looking at me now I say
I never wanted to a part of the gang
I never saw this as part of my plan
I walk down the street with pride
Happy that you're by my side
14.Il Adore
Mother clutches the head
of her dying son
Anger and tears
So many things to feel
Sensitive boy
Good with his hands
No one mentions the unmentionable
But everyone understands
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine him
as he used to be
Laughing, screaming
tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show
you've ever seen
Whirling, swirling
never blue
How could you go and die
what a lonely thing to do
Silence equals death
this is what they say
But the anger and the tears
Cannot take the pain away
How far must it go
How near must it be
Before it touches you
Before it touches me
Here in this cold white room
Tied up to these machines
It's hard to imagine life
as it used to be
Laughing, screaming
tumbling queen
Like the most amazing light show
you've ever seen
Whirling, swirling
never blue
How could you go and die
what a selfish thing to do
Did you ever ask those strangers
what they're searching for
Did they laugh and tell you they're not really sure
You were hurt by love
But still you came right back for more
Il adore
Il adore
Il adore
15.Bow Down Mister
From Bombay to Bangalore
Al the Hindus know the score
If you wanna live some more
Hare, hare, hare
If you do not take the vow
You can eat the sacred cow
You'll get karma anyhow
Hare, hare, hare
Bow down mister
Hare rama, Hare krishna
Bow down mister
We say radha syam
Do the right thing with your hands
Lay down on the pleasing sands
Whatever else your faith demands
Hare, hare, hare
From Bombay to Rajastan
Nitai guara, radha syam
Hare krishna hare ram
Hare, hare, hare
In the desert Jahshamire
They put kun kun in their hair
At the westemers they stare
Hare, hare, hare
Paint a tilak on your brow
Open like a lotus flower
It's time to check your karma now
Hare, hare, hare
16.Out Of Fashion
Too much jealousy will make you crazy
I've been walking the street in shoes that kill my feet
Too much make-up, oh dream like a lady
Now you're a prisoner of some shallow dream
You're out of fashion, you're moments over
and yes I loved you, oh but you wore me out
You're out of fashion, so just forget it now
a living tragedy, parody fits you like a glove
Too much ego makes you ugly yeah
I've been running away from what I really need
Desperation pushes love away
Now you're a prisoner of you own desire
You're out of fashion, you're moments over
and yes I loved you, oh but you wore me out
You're out of fashion, so just forget it now
a living tragedy, parody fits you like a glove
There's enough love in this world for you and me
There's enough love for everyone you wait and see
There's enough love in this world so why do we hide what we feel
inside
There's enough love in this world
There's enough love in this world
There's enough love in this world
You're out of fashion, you're moments over
and yes I loved you, oh but you wore me out
You're out of fashion, so just forget it now
a living tragedy, parody fits you like a glove
