The Power Of Negative Thinking B

Jesus And Mary Chain The Power Of Negative Thinking B Lyrics
1.Up Too High

You could be a politician
You're so putrid it's love persuasion
And all the things that go with that
Touch, protect, and love to spin again

And if I flew up to the sky
I could only reach up high

It's so hard not to see you somewhere
Look around and I see you somewhere
In all the forests and the fields
Break my feelings, melting on a spear

And if you step beyond your face
You'll not find an empty place

All the things you've said and done
Spark prying privilege flying from my gun

You're up too high
You're up too high
You're up too high
High

And if I see you in a dream
My mind you'll quake
I'll never wake


2.Upside Down

We're moving 'round and 'round Can't hear a single sound And
when I hit the ground I heard a ringing sound Uh-huh-huh I heard
a ringing sound And my head hit the ground Uh-huh-huh Inside I'm
upside down You live with so much carelessness 'cause no one
takes you serious That makes you feel so dangerous You wish you
never was But you can't see And if you feel there's no one else
That you're all alone, you're by yourself Your life is like a
broken shell It doesn't really matter to me Doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter to me Knowing you can't see Inside I feel so bad
So low I feel so sad Feels like I'm going mad Best friend I've
ever had Uh-huh-huh Feels like I'm going mad Best friend I've
ever had Uh-huh-huh So low I feel so sad You live with so much
carelessness 'cause no one takes you serious And now you think
you're dangerous You never was but you can't see And if you feel
there's no one else You're all alone and by yourself Your life
is like a broken shell It doesn't really matter to me Doesn't
matter to me Doesn't matter to me Knowing you can't see Upside


3.Vegetable Man

In yellow shoes I get the blues
Though I walk the streets with my plastic feet
With my blue velvet trousers, make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my turquoise waistcoat is quite out of sight
But oh oh my haircut looks so bad
Vegetable man where are you?

So I've changed my dear, and I find my knees,
And I covered them up with the latest cut,
And my pants and socks all point in a box,
They don't make long of my nylon socks,
The watch, black watch
My watch with a black face
And a big pin, a little hole,
And all the lot is what I got,
It's what I wear, it's what you see,
It must be me, it's what I am,
Vegetable man.

I've been looking all over the place for a place for me,
But it ain't anywhere, it just ain't anywhere.
Vegetable man, vegetable man,
He's the kind of person, you just gonna see him if you can,
Vegetable man.


4.Suck


5.Ambition


6.Just Out Of Reach

Take a walk, to the beach
Take a walk, back to the sea
Take a walk with me, back to the beach
I take a walk with you, just out of reach
Just out of reach (x4)

I see the sun here
I see the sand
I see the sun here
You take my hand (x4)
* ? * sand

Just out of reach(x4)

You take a walk with me, back to the sea
You take a walk with me, back to the beach
Just out of reach (x4)

I see the sun on you
I see the sand
I see the sun on you
You take my hand (x3)
Back to the sand


7.Boyfriend's Dead


8.Head

Walk away,
You empty head,
You're late she says
Your blonde head,
Your blonde head

So you knock at the door,
The beat of your heart
Your cold empty heart,
Your cold empty heart

I think you're crawling up my spine
I think you're crawling up my spine

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Don't you to stay,
Want you to stay

Hey

Walk away,
You empty head,
You're late she said
Your blonde head,
Your blonde head

So the knives on the street
There's a man on your cross
Cold empty cross,
Cold empty cross

I think you're crawling up my spine
I think you're crawling up my spine

Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey

Want you to stay
Don't want you to stay

I walk away
I walk away
I walk away from your head
Off your head
Off your head
Hanging from your head

I walk
I walk
I walk
Your head
Your head
From your head
From your head
From your head


9.Just Like Honey

Listen to the girl
As she takes on half the world
Moving up and so alive
In her honey dripping beehive
Beehive
Its good, so good, its so good
So good

Walking back to you
Is the hardest thing that
I can do
That I can do for you
For you

Ill be your plastic toy
Ill be your plastic toy
For you

Eating up the scum
Is the hardest thing for
Me to do

Just like honey (x 17)

11.Taste Of Cindy

crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
talking Cindy to everyone
until she's had her fun
she has me
we twist the sun and sea
still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun
though I've heard it before
still I need you more and more
but I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day
and I tried and I tried
but you looked right through me
knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
knife in my head when I think of Cindy
knife in my head is the taste of Cindy


12.The Hardest Walk

I never thought that this day would ever come When your words
and your touch just struck me numb Oh and it's plain to see that
it's dead The thing swims in blood and it's cold stoney dead
It's so hard not to feel ashamed Of the loving living games we
play Each day And I'm stuck in a shack Down the back of the sea
Oh and I'm alive and I'm alone Inside a sick sick dream Oh is it
me Is it me that feels so weak I cannot deceive but I find it
hard to speak The hardest walk you could ever take Is the walk
you take from a to b to c I walk Oh honey I talk Don't want you
to want me Don't want you to need me Don't want you to need me
Don't want you to need me And I walk


13.Never Understand

The sun comes up another day begins
And I don't even worry about the state I'm in
Head so heavy and I'm looking thin
But when the sun goes down I wanna start again

You never understand me
You never understand me
Yeah

Don't turn around until you look at me
Why don't you take a second and tell me what you see
Things I see you only disagree
You never understand that's what I want to be

You never understand me
You never understand me
Yeah

Not wishing to hide but you just can't see me
I tell you the truth but you don't believe me
Thinking of love but I can't hear what you're saying
Tomorrow I'm leaving
Cause I'm not stayin'
Yeah....
(Uh huh huh)


14.The Living End

I get ahead on my motorbike
I get ahead on my motorbike
I feel so quick in my leather boots
I feel so quick in my leather boots
My mood is black when my jackets on
My mood is black when my jackets on
And Im in love with myself
And Im in love with myself
Theres nothing else but me
Theres nothing else but me
And an empty road
And a cool cool wind and it makes feel so good
Just like I knew it would
Just like I knew it would

I get so wild on my motorbike
I get so wild on my motorbike
Im breaking loose on this moonlit night
Im breaking loose on this moonlit night
I cut the road like a sharpened knife
I cut the road like a sharpened knife
And Im in love with myself
And Im in love with myself
Theres nothing else but me
Theres nothing else but me
And an empty road
And a cool cool wind makes me feel so good

Im moving too fast, * Im moving too fast *
Im moving so fast that I cant control the wheels
Im moving so fast, * Im moving so fast *
Yeah, Im going for a tree, yeah its going for me, yeah
My head is dripping into my leather boots.


15.Some Candy Talking

I'm going down to the place tonight
To see if I can get a taste tonight
A taste of something warm and sweet
That shivers your bones and rises to your heat

I'm going down to the place tonight
The damp and hungry place tonight
Should all the stars shine in the sky
They couldn't outshine your sparkling eyes
But it's so hard to be the one
To touch and tease and to do it all for fun
But it's too much for a young heart to take
Cause hearts are the easiest things you could break

And I talk to the filth and I walk to the door
I'm knee deep in myself
But I want to get more of that stuff
Of that stuff

Some candy talking
Talk

And I want
And I want
Some candy talking

Some candy talk

I love the way she's walking
I love the way she's talking
It's just the way she's walking
It's just the way she's talking

And I need
All that stuff
Give me some
Of that stuff
I want your candy. I want your candy
And I need
Give me some
Of your stuff
Give me some
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want your candy. I want your candy.
I want stuff


16.Psychocandy

The wind is screaming around the trees for my psychocandy
The world is spreading a strange disease for my
Psychocandy
Candy is the baddest seed
Shell take you down and make you eat
Her fish
Her poison fish
Is on her dish

Candy cannot hear or see
Shes in the place she needs to be
Shell take the point to a sharpened blade
And give you something warm to taste

And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
(psychocandy)
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
(psychocandy)
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
(psychocandy)
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
(shes my psychocandy)
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
(shes my psychocandy)
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
(psychocandy)
And the world is turning round
And on and on and on
(psycho)


17.Hit

Well you had
tried to walk
away
And the
sunshine on
the dark side
of your day
Don't get hit
Don't get hit
You get hit
It's a kick
Don't get hit

??
Don't get hit ??
??
On the coast
Don't get hit
Don't get hit
Don't get hit

(aw she said)
(hey hey hey)
(hey hey hey)
(hey hey hey)


18.Cut Dead

What can I do
It's gotten me beaten black and blue
Why don't you know
You got me moving much too slow
Why can't you see
You got me chasing honey bees
You made me fall
Broke me up and took it all
Call me your messed up boy
Just what I've found
You knock my body to the ground
Just what I've said
You're tearing up my weary head
Do I still shine
After such a lonely time
You cut me dead
You nail me down and kick my head
Cut dead your messed up boy
hey hey hey
hey hey hey
hey hey hey


19.You Trip Me Up

Sometimes
I walk sideways
To avoid you
When I've annoyed you

Love's like
The mighty ocean
When it's frozen
That is your heart

What would I be
If I could be free
I couldn't even walk
You trip me up

But you break me in two
And you throw me away
And you spit in my cup
You trip me up

And you break me in two
And you throw me away
Knock me on my back
I'll send a heart attack

I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip
I'd like to trip
I'd like to trip you up
I'd like to trip you up


20.Walk And Crawl


21.Kill Surf City

I love baby and she loves me

Got to ? surf city like a nuclear bomb

22.Bo Diddley Is Jesus

Walking along a railroad track
Where I go I don't look back
Head to toe I'm dressed in black

Head to toe I'm dressed in black
Head to toe I'm dressed in black
Head to toe I'm dressed in black
Head to toe I'm dressed in black

??

I take the time and I walk along
I take the time and I'm walking down
I'm walking along this railroad track

Take my time she said ??
Take my time ??
Take my time ??


23.Who Do You Love

I walked forty-seven miles of barbed wire
I use a cobra snake for a neck tie
I got a brand new house on the roadside
Made from rattlesnake hide
I got a brand new chimney made on top
Made out of human skull
Come on take a little walk with me
Arlene tell me who do you love?

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?

Tombstone hand and a graveyard mind
Just twenty-two and I don't mind dying
??
??
I rode around the town used a rattlesnake whip
Take it easy baby don't you give me no lip now

Who do you love?
Who do you love?
(I said) Who do you love?
(Ah well) Who do you love? (she said)

The night was dark and the sky was blue
Down the alley and an ice wagon flew
Somebody screamed you should've heard what I've seen
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Well Arlene took me by the hand she said
'Oh, you boy, don't you understand'
'Oh, boy, dear don't you know?'
'Ah Understand, understand'
Who do you love? she said
Who do you love? she said
Who do you love? she said
Who do you love? she said

(Who do you love?
Who do you love?
Who do you love?)


24.Everything's Alright When You're Down

Some kind a strange kind of feelings coming over me
I bled from the back to the front for the world to see

You gotta run
You gotta stay
Cause I'll be screaming to have had my way
I got my head in the gutter
and it looks as if it's gonna stay

I, just can't take it
I, don't you say it
I, I can't take it, oh

I, fuck me down now
I, run me down now
I, run around now, oh

I now have hit the ground
And just look at what I found
Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey

Strange as it can seem
Like livin' in a scream
Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey

Everything I say is going wrong


25.Shake


26.Happy When It Rains

Step back and watch the sweet thing
Breaking everything she sees
She can take my darkest feeling
Tear it up till Im on me knees
Plug into her electric cool
Where things bend and break
And shake to the rule
Talking fast couldnt tell me something
I would shed my skin for you
Talking fast on the edge of nothing
I would break my back for you
Dont know why, dont know why
Things vaporise and rise to the sky
And we tried so hard
And we looked so good
And we lived our lives in black
But something about you felt like pain
You were my sunny day rain
You were the clouds in the sky
You were the darkest sky
But your lips spoke gold and honey
Thats why Im happy when it rains
Im happy when it pours
Looking at me enjoying something
That feels like feels like pain
To my brain
And if I tell you something
You take me back to nothing
Im on the edge of something
You take me back
And Im happy when it rains


27.Happy Place

I'm going back to a happy place
All my life I've lived to taste
Someone else's flavours on my tongue

Cherry take me back to the start of it all
Where everyone's up then everyone falls
Almost could destroy me with her kiss

Oh, I wish that I could feel
And I feel too real
For this grey moat
And me, I'm drifting like the sun
Down on everyone, the TV sky

Save me
Come and save me
Come on touch me
Come on and touch me
Come on hold me
Come on and hold me
I live my life for something I can't see
Let me take you in my summer dream


28.FHole


29.Rider

Going on a motorbike, ride it to the beach
Screaming at the sun, ??? out of reach
Come on little honey come take me in the dark
Come on little honey (?? just take down the spark ??)
I got a lot of wait
I got a lot of space
I got a lot of time
I look at my hands I got you
I got nothing to lose

On my motorbike dodododododoo dododoo
dodododododoo dododoo
dodododododoo dododoo
dodododododoo dododoo

Here comes now
Here comes now
Here comes now
?? come now

Here comes ?? take it away
Here comes ?? Talking 'bout something makes you want to feel
Kicking to the end ??
Aw touch me baby
Touch me baby

Ride in to the sun cause you tried to move me
Take a ride on down, run out of road
Take a ride my baby (?? and remove this ??) load
Come on baby try to understand
Come on baby let me take your hand


30.On The Wall

Unlike the mole I'm not in a hole And I can't see anyway Just
like a doll I'm one feet tall But dolls can't see anyway The
frozen stare The clothes and hair These make me taste like a man
Tied to a door Chained to a floor An hour glass grain of sand
Swim in the sea Swim inside me But you can't swim far away I
never grew Covered up by you And nothing grows anyway Life in a
sack is coming back I'm like the clock on the wall


31.Surfin USA

If everybody had an ocean
Across the USA
Then everybody'd be surfin'
Like Californi-a
You'd seem 'em wearing their baggies
? too
Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' USA

You'd catch 'em surfin' at ?
Texas County line
Take a trip to the Ocean
You can feel real fine
All over Manhattan
It's the only way

Everybody's gone surfin'
Surfin' USA

We'll all be planning that route
We're gonna take real soon
We're waxing down our surfboards
We can't wait til June
We'll all be gone for the summer
We're on safari to stay
Tell the teacher we're surfin'
Surfin' USA

Surf, baby, surf
Surf that USA

All the way to the USA

Surfin' USA



32.Here It Comes Again

Here she comes walking down the street
She's got something you would love to meet
It's her heart and her heart is black
Think of ice cream sliding into a crack
The heat sticks to summer's heavy sweat
Hang around it'll get hotter yet
You got the shakes and it's gonne get worse
Don't you know it's all a part of the curse
She's got the hit that takes you into space
Suck mud and make a deal for that taste
You got nothing but you're riding on a star
You couldn't guess that she could take you that far
Some things are so hard to say
Even though you'd say them every day
Don't let your life be the butt of a joke
Get your lips round a cool black Pepsi Coke
Here she comes


33.Don't Ever Change

Well I guess I never saw her in that way Well I guessed
everything always ends that way Oh I guess I should have tried
to make her stay Keep on coming Keep on coming Some people live
their lives to understand Some people live their lives to take
command But the day has come when I must make my stand Keep on
coming Keep on coming Don't ever change Don't ever change Change
Change If I can't get to you It's just the way you tried to hold
me down You got a hold on me and I'm scared to make a sound And
you know everything I ever tried to say Come on keep on coming
please don't walk away You got a hold on me and I'm scared to
let you go


34.Swing

I wish that you and me would be
Inside of a rubber dream
I wish we'd walk and I wish we'd swing
Down to the sunshine thing
I got you and I want my head
I look like I come in death
I don't doubt your word
I don't doubt your word
And it had to be inside my rubber holy dream
It means, it's good.
And it seems that I should go on
Back to where I've been it seems I've gone
I wish I'd seen it all
Inside my covered hole
I think I seen my head
I think I seen my head
I wish I'd seen the time
I wish I could walk in time
I'm making sense in my own way
And I dragged you all the way


35.Sidewalking

Chilled to the bone and five miles to home
I'm messing in the dark and feeling all alone
I got ice in my fire got the heat in my wire
Inject a little heat I'm burning up the tyres

Sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking

Talking like I'm on and I'm the only one
I'm making like I'm done and staring like a gun
And I gotta get a car and I gotta get a ride
Gotta get a car got jesus on my side

Sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking

Messing in the dark and walking all alone
Alone in the streets I know just where I'm going

Sidewalking sidewalking

Chilled to the bone Chilled to the bone
Hot wired heat all the way home


36.Shimmer

The look behind your eyes
Conceals a thin disguise
If pleasure is my prize
There's pain in paradise
She makes the rivers flow
She looks into my soul
Destruction sets us free
From this forbidden tree
So I don't care
Don't say that I don't care
But you just made me aware
I don't care
Heaven's open gate the Devil's silver eyes
A look that seals my fate
Destruction is my prize


37.Penetration

Give me penetration
Take it to the sky
Give me penetration honey take it till I die
Take it till it breaks my spine
Take it anyway, I don't care anyway
Kick it back till it breaks my spine
Give me penetration


38.Break Me Down

Time to turn completely
To that something I despise
I dont need no easy piece
With that something in her eyes
Somethings cracking inside
Something cracks and leaves me cold and weary
Somethings cracking inside
And then I make my start and then its running to me
And I know what it takes to break a man completely
And I know about the taste of pain
And now its burning through me
And I know
And I see
And I know what it takes to break a man


39.Subway

Some kind of people don't understand
I've got to turn to the sun
I've got the upper hand
When the world turns around
It turns it turns for you

I guess a whole lotta loving
Don't mean a thing
You gotta stand other people
Don't shout and sing
And when the fight comes to run
It runs and runs for you

I guess that all that I can say
Is just I've gotta have my way
And there's nothing that you can't see through
And there's nothing left for me to do
Funny it's true

I've gotta get get you

And the world it turns
And the fire burns and burns
And all the sickest people die in the flames
And all the twist and turns
And all the twisted suns
And when the fire burns it burns for you


40.My Girl

I got sunshine On a cloudy day When it's cold outside I've got
the month of may I guess you'll say What can make me feel this

day I even got the month of may, hey I got, I got what she A hey

41.In The Black

I live my life in the black
I live my life in the black
I live it under stones
I live it under stones
I'll go but I'll come back
I am the cunt in black
I live it in my shoes
I live it in my head
And I walk and I talk
And I aim my eyes like you aim your gun
Well that's fucking fun
Well I aim my gun I got you on the run
In the black I wanna go


42.Terminal Beach

Tell me something I don't know
Cause I don't know why all that goes for
Tell me something I can touch
Cause what I've got's not much to show for
Pain is pride and pride's alright to me
And the time is right for this world to be free

And I know when I had that day
And I know what I just can't say
And I know when my heart beats life
And I know when I talk I talk it all
When I talk I talk it all
When I talk I talk it all

(Yeah I talk that talk)
(When my heart beats fast)

And I know
Yeah I know
Yeah I know
And I found
And I found
And I found
And I found


43.Deviant Slice

Don't know when I'm down
Don't know what I've found
My head is dancing
Come out the backseat
Feel that same old weight
Just don't feel the same
Feel just like a coloured corner
Think it's gonna stay


44.I'm Glad I Never

You came walkin' into my life
Carrying your own dream
You could've been
Yeah, you could've been good
Then why were you so goddamn mean
But for you I never had any fun
But I'm sure glad I never
Ain't you glad I never
Be glad I never owned a gun


45.Drop

The way you drop is like a stone Making out you're flying But
you've just been thrown Till kingdom comes And through bitten
tongues These eyes get stung With every curse that's sung These
twisted times Can't compare to mine And heaven knows where
loving goes I should have guessed When I took that pill Do I
love her still Well did jesus kill


46.Rollercoaster

Why, keep in touch with my crimes
Cause I left it far behind
Out of sight and out of mind
Down the gutter in the drain
Back to wherever they came
Don't put me down
I don't think that I don't know
sometimes I feel nothing's good it's all gone wrong

You got respect for my mind
For I've connections too sublime
Look for something hard to find
Easy streets are not for me
When I drown I drown in sea
Don't put me down
I don't think that I don't want
Sometimes I feel nothing's good it's all gone wrong

Can you see her now?
Have you seen her now?
She goes down
She goes down
I can't see
What I can't see
Have you seen her now?
Have you seen her?


47.Silverblade

talking 'bout the things i lack
choke me up with what i say
shouting out for something
standing up for nothing
she's looking down but i just couldn't wait
looks real tough when she talks that stuff
and cries for another day
looks real mean when she hits that scene
cries like a silver queen

aah help me
aah tell me
aah kill me
she can't come
she's got to get you some

my world has been undone
and laugh at words gone wrong
our love has been and gone
aah

and i know just what i'm searching for
in a world that's turned from me to her
and it's coming to me anyway
and it's coming from a silverblade
from a silverblade
from a silverblade


48.Lowlife

I've got too many troubles
Stains on my body and soul
I could run keep on running
Stains and they're starting to show
I could give it up and never lose control
She looks good when she's on it
Health shining out of her face
I think she could be on it
Talking like she's just had a taste
I could give her up and never lose control
I can't stand this compromise
Going down slow I'm hypnotised
Just can't shake this messed up scene
Doing it good on a 3D screen
Help me please cause I don't know
Just no way to save my soul


49.Tower Of Song

Well my friends are gone, my hair is grey
And I ache in all the places where I used to play
And I'm crazy for love, but I'm not coming on
I'm just paying my rent every day in the tower of song

I said to Hank Williams, 'how lonely does it get?'
Hank Williams hasn't answered yet
But I hear him coughing all night long
A one hundred floors above me in the, in the tower of song

Come on

I was born like this, I had no choice
I was born with the gift of a golden voice
And twenty seven angels from the great beyond
They tied me to this table right here in the tower of song

So you can stick your little pins in that voodoo doll
I'm very sorry baby doesn't look like me at all
And I'm standing by the window where the light is strong
They don't let a woman kill you, not in the tower of song

Come on

Now you can say that I've grown bitter, hut of this you maybe
sure
The rich have got their channels in the bedrooms of the poor
And there's a mighty judgement coming, but I maybe wrong
You see I hear these funny voices in the tower of song

Now I bid you farewell I don't know when I'll be back
They're moving us tomorrow to that tower down the track
But you'll be hearing from me baby long after I'm gone
I'll be speaking to you sweetly from my window in the tower of
song

Come on


50.Heat

If I could live for 100 years
Still I couldn't understand my fears
Never had the time or an easy ride
Kicking up the noise of a suicide
And I see the heat coming down
Heat coming round feels like I'm coming on
Seen what I've seen and it's gone
But I don't know
But I don't know
Yeah I don't know
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying
Tell me what you're saying
All these things I've been praying


51.Guitarman

Well I quit my job down at the carwash
Left my mother a goodbye note
By sundown I left Kingston with my guitar under my coat
Hitchiked all the way down to Memphis
Got a room at the YMCA
For the next three weeks went hunting at nights
Just looking for a place to play
Well I thought my picking would set them on fire
But nobody wanted to hire a guitarman

Well I nearly starved to death down in Memphis
I run out of money and luck
So I bummed me a ride down to Mecon, Georgia
On an overloaded poultry truck
Thumbed on down to Panama City
Started picking at some of them all night bars
Hoping I could make myself a dollar making music on my guitar
Got the same old story the moment I'd appear
There ain't room around here for a guitarman
Don't need a guitarman son

So I slept in the hobo jungles
I roamed thousand miles of track
Till I find myself in Mobile, Alabama
At a club they call Big Jacks
A little four piece band was jamming
So I took my guitar and I sat in
I showed em what a band would sound like
With a swinging little guitarman

Show em son

If you ever take a trip down to the ocean
Find yourself down around Mobile
Make it on out to a club called Jacks
If you got a little time to kill
Just follow that crowd of people
You'll wind up out on his dance floor
Digging the finest little five piece group
Up and down the Gulf of Mexico
Guess who's leading that five piece band
Wouldn't you know it's that swinging little guitarman

'he was a degenerates degenerate'


52.Why'd You Want Me

Why'd you care why'd you want me there
Why'd you sin why did you let me in
I got no shoes I've always got the blues
I gave myself to drink and drugs and filth
Why'd you care why'd you want me there
I see the gloom and doom in every room
You see the light in every darkened night
So why'd you care why'd you want me there
Why did you sin why'd you let me in
Why'd you want me babe
Why? Why? Why? Why?


53.Sometimes

Kid's got something keeps it well hid
One of these days I'm gonna shake off the lid
Dig beneath the dirt maybe scrape beneath the skin
It's getting so bad I think I'd die to get in her
Sometimes you just can't get enough
I got the feeling that I've been here before
I'm on my knees and I'm kissing the floor
I got the feeling that I've crashed in a car
I got the feeling aw babe you're a star
And you understand
Sometimes you just can't get enough


54.Teenage Lust

Little skinny girl she's doing it for the first time
little skinny girl she's doing it and it feels fine
she's taking hold and I'm holding on
holding on and my sense is gone
I got it you got it she's got it
she's taking hold of her sins now for the first time
well she's been told about sins now but it feels fine
she's taking hold and I'm holding on
holding on and my sense is gone
I got it you got it she's got it


55.Reverberation

You finally find your helpless mind, is trapped inside your
skin. You want to leave, but you believe you won't get back
again. You only know you have to go but still you can't deny You
try and try, you die and die. You're stuck on your own now
Reverberation, reverberation. You find no peace, it doesn't
cease, it's deadly irritation. It keeps you blind, it's there
behind, it's every permutation It holds your thought, your mind
is caught, your fixed with fascination. You think you'll die,
begin to lie, it's backwards elevation. Reverberation,
reverberation. You see reverberation, in this incarnation, ooh,
it's a sensation, but it's just reverberation. You start to
swerve, the downward curve, that catches up your fears. Each
thing you do, comes home to you, and downs inside your ears.
Your start to fight against the night, that screams inside your
mind. When something black it answers back, and grabs you from
behind! Reverberation, Driving you insane Reverberation,
Reverberation,


56.Don't Come Down

Do what you want take what you need
Leave me in awe give me some speed
Don't want your soul don't want your hole
I need to look up I got to stay up
Don't come down don't you get down
Don't want your life don't be my wife
Don't make me dream I got to believe
Don't come down don't you get down


57.Something I Can't Have

You're in my house you're in my face You made me hate the human
race I got it good I got it strong I got it down where it
belongs Aw it's sick and oh it's sad I think you're something I
can't have Penetrate the happy place you got me crawling on my
face Come fly with me come lie with me come die with me And we
could kiss with tongues I've got no place to go you've got no
place to go Aw it's sick and oh it's sad I think you're
something I can't have To my head you're going to my head All
the things you said All the things you swore Are going to my
head


58.Write Record Release Blues

If that phones keep ringing
I'm gonna lose some cool
I'm in my closet and I'm okay
Leave me in peaceful abject misery

I'm a young man now but
There's an old man on my back
As he gets stronger I get weak
Someday soon he'll take the place of me

If that scum keeps rising
I'm gonna jump this ship
Tell me where did it go wrong
I can't fix it I'll just sing my song

You can deride and mock me
That's been done before
I won't get on my knees for you
I won't be a record business whore


59.Little Red Rooster

I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
I am the little red rooster, too lazy to crow for days
Keep everything in the farmyard upset in everyway

Dogs begin to bark now, hounds begin to howl
Dogs begin to bark now, hounds begin to howl
Watch out strange cat people
Little red rooster's on the prowl

If you see my little red rooster, please drive him home
If you see my little red rooster, please drive him home
Ain't had no peace in the farmyard
Since my little red rooster's been gone


60.The Perfect Crime

We fell in love you liked the look in my eye
Hand in hand we reach for the sky
But I was easy baby
Yeah I was easy baby
And you told me so long
You never ever wanna see me baby

I lost control I got a hold of a knife
I took a hold then I ended your life
But it was easy baby
Yeah it was easy baby
I told you so long
I'm never ever gonna see you baby


61.Little Stars

I don't know why I took that dirt

I don't know why I took that nail

I don't know why I took that gun
and I shot that smile from my face
I don't know why

Hey,
Look at the stars
Shining,
Look at the city
It's shining,
Look at your eyes
Shining,
Look at your lips,
Glowing,
Look at your face,

Look at the love
It's growing,
I want to love you
I want you to love me

I'm gonna love your pain away
I'm gonna love your blues away
I'm gonna f**k your pain


62.Drop Re Recorded

The way you drop
Is like a stone
Making out you're flying
But you've just been thrown
Till kingdom comes
And through bitten tongues
These eyes get stung
With every curse that's sung
These twisting times
Can't compare to mine
And heaven knows
Where loving goes
I should have guessed
When I took that pill
Do I love her still
Was Jesus killed


63.I'm In With The Out Crowd

You've been whoring now but you got sick
You've been living for an easy kick
Playing the fool
Acting the Queen
You've been a motherf**king dope machine
Don't rate the world so well
Don't like the world but you can't tell

Money out of faking
Faking out of f**king
Jesus out of nothing
I can't tell now
The f**king you've been faking
Well you better give me some

I've been trying but I don't get far
I've got nothing hey but I'm a star
Picking up gold
Selling a dream
I've been a motherf**king dope machine
I don't rate the world so well
I don't like the world but can't you tell
Uh Huh

I'm in with the out crowd
I'm in with the out crowd
I'm in with the out crowd
I'm in with the out crowd now


64.New York City

I got a woman and she ain't so tall
She got a mouth like texas and that ain't small
Hey Mr President get down on your knees
The USA's got a social disease
Feed my cock feed my brain
I'm tripping out in the pouring rain
I see the sky and the clouds from above
And I see the mountains but I'm not in love
Cause I see New York City (City)


65.Taking It Away

So I'm standing on that street
Same fucking place
Same running feet
The way I'm going
I feel it well
No need to hurry
We'll soon be there

Take me where I wanna be
Taking it away

Well I can't hurry
Right off this street
It was where I have to be
Well I can't see
Still feeling for me
Well I should
I wish I could

Take me where I wanna be
Taking it away

67.Alphabet Street

I'm going down to Alphabet Street
I'm gonna crown the first girl that I meet
I'm gonna talk so sexy
She'll want me from my head to my feet

I'm gonna drive my daddy's thunderbird
I'm gonna try but you know it's absurd
I'm gonna put her in the back seat
And drive her to Tennessee

I'm going down down down cause that's the only way
To make this cruel cruel world hear what we've got to say
Put the right letters together and make a better day


68.Coast To Coast

Feels like something pumping through my veins
I got the junk gun fever sinking to my brain
Feels like God in heaven's gone insane
I got a cat scratch engine takes me on the road
Wheels get rolling back to the world I know
Takes me just as far as I can go
I got my senses strung out to the sky
That desert city's got me reaching high
Here I come here I come
Junk town nothing got to keep it coming
Hipshake gunning kick start and I'm running
Just don't make it guess you got to fake it
Here I come here I come
On the road
Under a sky
Coast to coast


69.Dirty Water

It's off then it's on
It's on then it's gone
It's high and it's steep
It's wide and it's deep

Fuck with me, and I'll fuck with you
Isn't that what we're supposed to do
Kick me down and I will kick you too
Isn't that what we're supposed to do

I've been swimming in the dirty water
I've been swimming where the fish won't go

I've been swimming in the dirty water
I've been swimming where the fish won't go

It's off then it's on
It's on then it's gone


70.Till I Found You


71.Bleed Me

Take what you want
Take what you need (it's alright)
Take what you want
I'm down on my knees
(it's alright)
Take what you want
I'm starting to bleed
(it's alright)
Take what you want
And then you can leave
(it's alright)
Take what you need

Leave me to bleed
Take what you need
Take it and leave
I couldn't move
I couldn't hurt but I tried
Looking for something
I couldn't find but I tried
Try to be truthful
You told the truth but I lied
You can be useful
But then you were
used and it died
Take what you need
Take it and leave
Take what you need
Leave me to bleed


72.33 1/3

Got no direction No resurection Got no religion No space to live
in This institution Filled with pollution Got no evolution I got

Don't need love Don't need drugs I don't need jesus Don't need
anybody Don't need any body But myself


73.Lost Star

Life ain't so hard
When you're a star
Things ain't so bad

Everybody looks up
People wanna believe in

When I lost my star


74.Hide Myself

What if I die
Would you even cry
God knows it's true
I didn't understand you

I've been trying to hide myself from you
I've been trying to run and hide from you

Got no reason to go

Got no reason to go
Got no reason to stay

God knows it's true
God knows it's over

God knows it's true
God knows it's over

God knows it's true

Got news for you
You didn't understand me


75.Rocket

Rise to my frustration - pouring rain
And feeling so impatient 'cause I can't explain
The things inside of me that shot right through my brain
I'm like a patient always standing in the rain

I got a golden ticket that I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna ride it like a rocket shooting in the sky
It's gonna take me out of all this black and white - it's insane

I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight, alright

Riding like an engine on a rollercoast
Trying to slow it down, gotta get control
There's nothing left to say but I don't know
I'm always thinking but I just don't know

She sold me golden ticket that I gotta ride
It's gonna shoot me like a rocket in the cold cold sky
She wants to take me out of all this black and white

I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on my rocket in the rain tonight, alright

Back with my frustration - pouring rain
And feeling so impatient, nothing's changed
I got a feeling like my soul's been washed away
I'm like a patient always standing in the rain

I got a golden ticket that I'm gonna ride
I'm gonna ride it like a rocket shooting in the sky
It's gonna take me out of all this black and white - it's a game

I'm going shooting on this rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on my rocket in the rain tonight
Shooting on my rocket through the pain tonight, alright


76.Easy Life Easy Love

There was a time when livin' was fine,
I pissed it all away.
I got so high I thought I could fly,
But that was another day.
Makin' the time, fit with the crime
Helped pass the time of day.
Makin' the lie, fit with the guy,
Now there's another way.

But now I'm back here to stay,
'cause there's another way.
Why don't you make it with me ?
Why don't you help me see ?

I had the dimes and blew all the lines,
Blew up infront of me.
Drank all the wine, pissed all the time,
Pushed her away from me.
Goodbye to fame and goodbye to Jane,
Goodbye to yesterday.
I've been around, I hit the ground,
There was a price to pay.

But now I'm back here to stay,
'cause there's another way.
Why don't you make it with me ?
Why don't you help me see ?

There was a time when livin' was fine,
But I pissed it all away.
I got so high I thought I could fly,
But that was another day.

But now I'm back here to stay,
'cause there's another way.
Why don't you make it with me ?
Why don't you help me see ?
Why don't you help me to stay ?
'cause there's another way.
Why don't you make it with me ?
Why don't you help me see ?

There's no lies, but don't ask questions.
There's no lies if you don't ask questions.
I won't tell lies, but don't ask questions.
There's no lies, but don't ask questions.


77.40000K

Been around the world,
I tried every kind of thrill,
And now I got some time to kill...

Hey Hey.

Well I broke up with my band,
And I'm doin' the best I can,
But I need a helpin' hand...

Hey Hey.

Hey Hey.

There's a time for love and there's a time for pain.
There's a time for roamin' and a place to stay,
But I don't know if I'll get there,
And I don't know where I've been...

Hey Hey.

And I'm tryin' to find the lie
Of my God given second sigh,
And the star that shines so bright...

Hey Hey.

Hey Hey.

How does it feel ? I don't know.
How does it feel ? I don't know.
How does it feel ? I don't know.

How does it feel ? I don't know.
How does it feel ? I don't know.
How does it feel ? I don't know.

How does it feel ? I don't know.
How does it feel ? I don't know.
How does it feel ? I don't know.

THE JESUS AND MARY CHAIN - Snakedriver

I've got syphilitic hetro friends in every part of town
I don't hate them but I know them I don't want them hanging
around
I won't roll my bones for every little girl who gets on down
I got space and space got me I should be selling it by the pound
Ever since I heard the voice
I thought I had no choice
but then I kissed her
I don't mind if I get broken I don't mind if I get fixed
I don't mind if I'm not spoken I don't mind if I get kicks
If I wake up dead I'll wake up just like any other day
And the photographs of god I bought have almost fade away
Everything just passes by
I thought it always would
but then I kissed her
