Plutonium Blonde

The Legendary Pink Dots Plutonium Blonde Lyrics
1.Torchsong

with a star on my arm and a ring through my nose
put my life in your hands and I'll lay in the road
the teevees drop and the tea gets floes
and the angel of mercy's a sinister martyr
moon's a blot where I'm fighting to go
and I'm sick as a goat in your headlights

when you burn so brightly, side with the righteous
a rose in a rifle, a bed for a tank
and I thank you for laughing and firing a blank
when I stood right before you and wept as I sank to my knees
to my sorry, sorry knees

prayer's a kite and there's so much to fight for
so much to die for so much to kill for
so much to hate there's so much to plate
god damn, for god sake, we're doomed
and I'm late...

so forgive me, asshole

I'm high as a kite, there's so much to fight for
so much to die for so much to kill for
so much to hate there's so much to plate
god damn, for god sake, we're damned
and I'm late...

for a very important date


2.Rainbows Too?

A rock can be a hard place when you're in between the nagging
of a restless sea, a sorry sky, a darkening horizon....
When the one voice you can hear is just your own,
innocently thrown back by a gale that's so damn angry
nothing sails, nothing dares- except my endless love for you.
Sing for me my siren. I'm far away but know that I can hear you.
Here it's calmer. Here it's clear-it's Christmas on the Moon...
But still it's just another rock ,wrapped up inside a
fancy box that's just like all the others.
Time to throw back the covers and FLY!

Cast away the rock that weighs you down.
I t's time to fly.


3.A World With No Mirrors

Sometimes I catch an outline.
There are moments when I'm almost sure it's safe to hold my head
up,
and look into your precious eyes in search of you.
Still it's just an outline.
Those sideways glances... I see you doubt me.
Our self-centred needs have left us floating when we should be
holding hands.
A pair of hands. A share of hands. A comfort-no distortion.
Gazing down at my old shoes, there's nothing awkward.
i can move and still be seen, I can lie with you and keep it
clean.
I'll slide in through the back door to the corner of your eye.
Still, we're sinking as we shiver in a world which has no
mirrors,
Where the glass is just a sliver, where the river's always dry.
Where 'time and tide' is just an outline, and always in retreat.


4.My First Zonee

Calling you now on my first Zonee.
Milking the cow with my first Zonee.
Out on the trail, I'll spank the pony.
I'll conquer the world with my first Zonee...
Under the Ocean, seeding the clouds you'll be with me.
Forgive me, there is no need to shout it
from the top of the mountain or down in the well.
I'll just text you, 'I like you'.
No scabby hands with my first Zonee.
No stubborn stains with my first Zonee.
No sleeping around my one and only.
I've never been lied to by my first Zonee.
Whem I'm lonely, when I'm sad I go through my
ringtones deleting all the dead ones.
There's no time for tears, there's no regret.
All I have to do is SEND.
I'm never alone with my first Zonee.


5.Faded Photograph

I found a faded photograph of you,
Clearing out this crowded room.
See me so proud, dressed up to the nines, sipping dandelion
wine.
Did it seem the sun would never set...
We'd stay young, forever blessed in our Sunday Best.
But I'm Wednesday's child and I am cursed to stay
locked inside your purse.
It's night and I'll come to you once more,
I'll forget to use the door...Did I startle you?
Oh no... Not me.
For you see through me... It hurts.


6.An Arm And A Leg

What a wonderful world, do you sometimes feel that it's yours?
That you could cup your hands, scoop up all of that glory and
drink it down, like an oyster? Your oyster. We can serve you
your oyster on a platter, lined with pearls. Or perhaps you'd
rather try to find it by yourself?
Uh Oh.

Just when you though you had everything under control, that mean
old mud pie hits you between the eyes. And what do you know, it
drips and makes a mess of the designer shirt you paid an arm and
a leg for.

But what about the other arm, the other leg? Don't worry friend,
we're still here, and we've made such advances.

Uh Oh.
Quick where's the stretcher, NO make that TWO stretchers. NURSE,
the screens. YOU out of the way. Don't worry friend, we have
everything under control and believe me, we've made such
advances.

So now we come to that boring part. You are covered aren't you?

No need for none, to think of a scheme for folks like you. I
mean, do you need both of those kidneys? Let me tell you a
story, I had a little dog, Freddy, yes his name was Freddy and
that little guy, well he lived for nearly eight years without a
liver. Like a puppy too, right up until the end of his days.
That's a good heart you have there, I know someone who exchanged
his heart for yours to take, You could even make a little money.
Don't worry friend, we're here! This doesn't have to cost you an
arm or a leg, but we've made such advances.

8.Oceans Blue

Do you read me loud and clear,
The sea sings sweetly in my ear,
Can toss This shell,
And cast my fears away now,
A gesture and a privet tear,
Shall keep my face let no one near,
We served for you,
Will not veer from the path that's straight,
The path that brought me here

10.Cubic Caesar

My learning curve was so acute it formed a perfect circle.
My whole wide world was virtual so I sank back in my shell.
It's 16 cubic feet and i shall keep you all outside.
I have this screen before me and I click.
I watch paint dry.
It's such a waste.
I watch paint dry.
I fall from grace.
Oh me oh my.
I rest my case.
I watch paint dry.
Perhaps it's been a decade since I touched another person.
I was always so uncertain so I chose to stay alone.
And all the kids i never had they're standing right before me.
I hope that they'll forgive me as i turn to face the wall.
It's such a waste. I watch paint dry.
I fall from grace.
Oh me oh my.
I watch paint dry.
I know that far away exists mysterious adventures.
A life beyond uncensored where there's nothing guaranteed.
It's not for me.
Oh I'll live with it.
Don't have the time.
My schedule's full from noon til night.
It isn't great but I'll get by.
