1.A Miracle
作詞:S Gibb
Sent from God
A holy visit
I wake up in the night
'What is it?'
I'm startled and I'm cold
And I believe that I have problems in my dreams
I feel like I'm the only one
Who can carry your disease
In my head you are suffering
In my head you are
In my head you are suffering
In my head you are
He brings me flowers that are gold
And honey from the bees
And he places a blossom in my hair
And undresses me
And he tells me that I'm the only one
That can carry his disease
I'm made to be an animal by his love
And to bear his baby
In my head you are suffering
In my head you are
In my head you are suffering
In my head you are

3.The Day Is Dawning
作詞:Joel Gibb
There's a new day dawning
There's a new day dawning
There's a new day dawning
There's a new day dawning
Day is dawning
Day is dawning
Day is dawning
Day is dawning
Day is dawning
Day is dawning
There's a new day dawning, skulls piled high
Body breathes as crushed by an army but I enjoy how it feels
To be hurt, beaten, broken and demolished
I may never later choose to heal because
The sun is disappearing
And the dark is reappearing on top, on top
There's a pile of old bones in the corner
Entrails in jars on shelves
The shadow over land becomes a cover
It appears as neither black nor pale
The sight of sky in darkness draws an audience
The basement dwellers will go blind because
The sun is disappearing
And the dark is reappearing on top, on top
The sun is disappearing
And the dark is reappearing on top, on top
The work of the father, of my father to build the will to build
Has fallen blindly over all of my recordings
It is the nails driven through the steel
Of an armored army vehicle with an engine's roar
A future coffin where I soon may lie because
The sun is disappearing
And the dark is reappearing on top, on top
The sun is disappearing
And the dark is reappearing on top, on top
The sun is disappearing
And the dark is reappearing on top, on top
On top, on top, on top
The sun is disappearing
And the dark is reappearing on top, on top
On top
On top
On top
...
4.Golden Streams
作詞:Joel Gibb
Golden stream
In the cold
It turns to ice
Runs down my knees in fright
Golden stream
Turns from warm to cold
In frightful time
In the frozen dead of night
The golden stone builds the golden road to heaven
Held up high by golden streams of ice
My golden bone meets the golden bun
Buns held high in our dreams of men
Golden streams of ice
In the cold
Hold up a city of gold
That lives in broad daylight
Two golden streams
Run down my cheeks
When buns are deprived
Of my dreams of men
I hold the golden bone on the golden road to heaven
Held up high by golden streams of ice
The golden bone belongs in golden bun
Bone and bun held high in my dreams of us
My golden wand waves down your golden rod
Our gold held high in sunny breezy sky
Then a stream of gold released from golden stone
Erupts late at night and melts the winter ice
The golden streams
The golden streams
The golden streams
...
5.She's Gone
作詞:Joel Gibb
Sitting alone, I feel dead
But I feel the life blood in my head
Looking down at myself from above
I can see that my shadow is stalking
She's gone again
In the grass, I feel warm
Laying low with my head up
Eyes wide open, eyes to the moon
She's ready to be with you
She's gone again
Get to my feet, hit the road
I feel better when I'm moving on
Escape the grimace of my shadow
I will be gone before it even knows that
She's gone
And I'm never gonna see her face again
She's gone again
Life imitates the forms we make
And so we fall into the vein
Eyes fold to the moon above
I see a face, I hear a song
She's gone
And I'm never gonna see her face again
She's gone again
In the future we will overcome
The fear of anchoring into love
Could be the first time, it could be anywhere
I should be able if my will is there
She's gone
And I'm never gonna see her face again
She's gone again
Rub my eyes for a second glance
As I move on I feel it enhance
I take the place of my shadow
Moving about without letting anyone know
She's gone
And I'm never gonna see her face again
She's gone again
6.Follow These Eyes
作詞:Joel Gibb
In the dark of night, I won't break from your side
Nor a stir or a sigh, we will work in silence
With these eyes and grace, that will fall to waste
With these eyes, with these eyes, these eyes, these eyes
If these eyes had a way to convince you and to sway
I'd be here in your arms, I would feed from your palm
But these eyes have seen their day and they wander away
To the bin, to the door, 'til they fix on the floor
Either look too late or they stare thee down
I've been dead, I've been born, I've been mining the most
They've been dead, these eyes, they won't follow mine
No, I won't, no, I won't, no, I won't
No, I won't be afraid when I kneel at the gate
I'll be fine with the fate that the saints bestow
Lost in the wave, it will ease these eyes
I'll stand tall and straight until mercy arrives
I've been watching for you but you've left the room
I've been lost, I've been used, I've been easily amused
'Cause these eyes, 'cause these eyes
Cause these eyes, 'cause these eyes
'Cause these eyes see the way to resist the decay
If they look to obey they will falter none
No, they won't be afraid when they steal the silence
If you call, I will beg without breaking these eyes
I've been dead, I've been born, I've been mining the most
How long will it be before they follow me?
These eyes, these eyes, these eyes, these eyes
7.Awoo
作詞:Joel Gibb
From the moment I was taught to resist the education, awoo
To hold it hostage until I know he loves me, awoo
With a shrug and an ugh, I unleash my holy power, awoo
The feeling of the end of my last examination, awoo
Awoo, awoo, a ye, a ya
Awoo, awoo, a ye, a ya
How sweet is the curd of my own written qualities, awoo
I'd rather wallow, win the mud of my own imagination, awoo
If I am naked on the throne, I'll be working in bone yard, awoo
Haunts the blood like a bad reputation, awoo
Awoo, awoo, a ye, a ya
Awoo, awoo, a ye, a ya
I've got 25 bucks, can you save my reputation? awoo
Acting like nothing ever happened to me ever, awoo
But if I covet and conform to my own rich qualities, awoo
I'll be working for my own, now at least I'll know he loves me
not, awoo
Awoo, awoo, a ye, a ya
Awoo, awoo, a ye, a ya
8.Death Of A Tune
作詞:Joel Gibb
Silence from you is like
The death of a tune, oh
I have been driven down
By those nursery rhymes, oh
Am I troubled by youth
To be wordless and useless? oh
Wordless and you
Wordless and you
It's been the same forever
It's the start of it all
A congregation
The meaning block
Spring and summer
When I enter the room
I hear the chirp of a lark, oh
Mumbling in a whine
My own melody line, oh
And if I sing to the wall
I'd be killing them all, oh
Killing them all
Killing them all
It's the same expression
That's been used on them all
A slow elation
That can warm the flock
Let's keep it together
Am I just being used
When I hear mostly lies? Oh
In confusion, I think
What a pity to rhyme, oh
Smothering my own muse
By a telepathy line, oh
Telepathy line
Telepathy line
If we abstain forever
We can start the love
It's the same in heaven
As they fall apart
The mind recovers
The soul is lost
The body's my brother
9.Breathe On It
作詞:Joel Gibb
Breathe on it
God comes from the light of fire
When I get a hold of it
I can breathe alright
Breathe on it
His words do calm my mind
I lose my whole honor
So I can breathe on fire
I may be damaged by the rod
And damned in the light
Sit with all the wicked
Untamed by holy rites
The gasp for air is ashes
But we're breathing for life
Being best friends with all the witches
And slaves to our skinny thighs
Breathe on it
God breathes a mighty storm
I can teach a whole wet army
To breathe on fire
And when I breathe on it
I feel washed and alive
The smell of soot is honor
As I breathe on fire
In the bowels of hell
We will be known for our tongues
Set apart from all the wicked
Under his coat, on our own
We may feel gifted as we blow
Producing flames every night
Feeling warm under the covers
Is the air for our lungs
As I breathe on it
I know I've caught the bug
God teaches whole armies
To breathe on fire
And as I breathe on it
I know I've caught the bug
I can teach a whole army
To breathe alright
10.The Animals Of Prey
作詞:Joel Gibb
We go down like moles
Claws dig an endless hole
We descend on fours
Our snouts lead us on
We fall down without notes
And so we build a barren moat
Work through the night, our eyes opaque
Our fingers cold, kisses in rain
We fall down in pairs
Moles locked in a blind stare
Your pearly mouth, it cracks a smile
Without a sound, the blind lead blind
We, the animals of prey
Have become cannibals untamed
Under the stars the moles go far
Into the earth like a sinking stone
We ascend as swans
Glide through blue waters calm
Exhausted head, it falls asleep
Under a rock, after the dig
We wake up as swans
Songs sung for no one
Left in the night, the moles asleep
Forgotten prey, dead rodent stink
We get up as swans
Big bird in a small pond
Our eyes are smiles, our fingers cold
Our lips are frowns, our toes have mold
We, the animals of prey
Have become cannibals untamed
Dug in the night, we use our spit
And make a moat where we play dead
We, the animals of prey
Have become cannibals untamed
Dug in the night, we use our spit
And make a moat where we play dead
We play dead, we play dead
We play dead, we play dead
We play dead, we play dead
We play dead, we play dead
We play dead
11.Boys Of Melody
作詞:Joel Gibb
Far out at sea
Bathed in breeze
Now, only ghosts
We haunt living dreams
Out on the coast
The coast is the most
That we'll ever see
Out on the coast
We'll sit and boast
That it's all we need, ohh
Wade through the sand
And find the romance
That we know we need, ohh
Boys of melody, yeah, ohh
And they'll follow me, yeah, ohh
I'll sing harmony, yeah, ohh
And with our song
Marching along
Few feign a frown
Or forget their towns
We proceed in stained bed sheets
And hang on our sleeves
That we're happy, yeah, ohh
Sung chorus of tones
Backed by drums and drones
We march towards the sea, yeah, ohh
As we reach the edge
I sing a new lament
The boys are here with me, yeah, ohh
Boys of melody, yeah, ohh
And they'll follow me, yeah, ohh
And I'll sing harmony, yeah, ohh
And it's all we need, yeah, ohh
The boys are here with me, yeah, ohh
We're happy, yeah, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
Ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh, ohh
12.Music Is My Boyfriend
作詞:Joel Gibb
I found music
And he found me
I gave him some tambourine
He gave me a scream
I washed his dirty underwear
He made me toast
Music filled my mug with Vaseline
I gave him a choke
We could be happy
We could be free
If we don't make-out
Or fall in love
I found music
And he found me
Bleeding from my fingers and knees
Plugged into a drum machine
Nailed to my head a tambourine
And a guitar laced to my waist
Stone cold fever
An internal melody
Guitars make me happy
Drum beats make us all free
Solid as a rock lover
Is the music in me
I found music
And he found me
A balding head-banging pre-teen
So he seduced me in a dream
I kissed his ugly gangly greens
He swallowed my pee
We live to be happy
And pray to be free
But it was soon found out
That my body is brief
I found music
And he found me
He kept me singing
To my dying day
Sing to be happy
Hum to be free
The eternal harmony
Music and me
13.Shame
作詞:Joel Gibb
Shame, shame, shame, shame
Lift my legs, lift my legs
Lift my legs, lift my legs
Lift my legs and drop the complaints
Of your life and your wife
Of your life, of your wife
Of your life, just drop the wife
And pick up men, pick up men
Pick up men, pick up men
Pick up men and invite them into your car
Or into a bar, in a car
In a bar, in a car
It's all about the bars
And you give me a new name
It's all about the name
Like Roger or Lincoln or Teddy
How 'bout Elaine?
I've got a woman's thighs
And a woman's mind
Woman's thighs, woman's mind
Woman's thighs, neither are nice
'Cause you like me to tie you to ice
Woman's mind
Shame, shame, shame, shame
Move your lips, move your hips
Move your hips, move your lips
Move your hips, it's the loneliness
That's camera shy and tries to hide
Crooked teeth, crooked feet
Crooked teeth, how 'bout the cock?
Move aside, bras and tights
Put on lice, put on lice
Put on lice, scurvy and lice
Polio, polio, polio, polio
Polio, how 'bout AIDS?
I cover your eyes, you fantasize
I'm your wife, I'm your life
I'm your wife, how 'bout a fight?
'Cause you like me to tie you to ice
The man's right
Shame, shame, shame, shame
'Cause you like me to tie you to ice, you to ice
'Cause you like me to tie you to ice, you to ice
'Cause you like me to tie you to ice, you to ice
Shame, shame, shame, shame
14.Wandering
作詞:Joel Gibb
I had this feeling of life
Wandering
Through the field of an island
I'll be wondering
If it's a dream I'll be wise to
Keep slumbering
Oh to be filled up with life
And be wandering
Through the streets I will find
I'll be wondering
If it's a joke I will laugh
Or just break down?
I couldn't be the one to follow
I couldn't if I tried
Following the aimless calling
Miracle conspires
To chase, in waster, an answer, folly
Answer me reply
I've already decided that
This feeling is mine
I'll be wandering
Through the streets I will find
It's best to be wandering
Even if I can't find
What I think is the light
I have this weakness to find
Or at least wander
I wouldn't have the need to follow
Anyone's advice
Navigating, edges fraying
Take me in the light
I wouldn't be denied because
In a dream I will find you
It's a wonder
I'll feel the need to confide
With only my eyes
Oh to be filled up with life
And be wandering
15.For Fun
作詞:Joel Gibb
In my evil little graveyard
There was writing on the wall
We were concocting 'round the cauldron
A dream that was to come
For fun, for fun, for fun, for fun
He fretted and he fronted
With an accidental charm
'Til he had forgotten all the words
To his own monologue
For fun, for fun, for fun, for fun
When I heard the angel call
She put a needle in my bone
She dabbled in my marrow
I was convinced she was the balm
I knew she warded off evil
That would inevitably come
For fun, for fun, for fun, for fun
In the flash of a fall
It gave rise, a lonely charge
That turned into a spark
That in turn gave rise to thought
Thought turned into scrawl
Scribbling into its own form
Form became a law
That would crumble into dust
For fun, for fun, for fun, for fun
The fun, the fun of it all
16.Learning The Lie
作詞:Joel Gibb
Stuck on my noose, I thought
What can I do?
Stolen by you
I am so easily led
I thought
Learning the lie is like living the life
Stuck by the high beams
Our thoughts rapidly fled
A rum with your pants down
With blood in the eye
I thought
Learning the lie is like living the life
Sucked in by the news
Of the legally dead
Torn at the hamstring
Attempting to walk
I thought
Learning the lie is like living the life
17.The Waning Moon
作詞:Joel Gibb
The morning dew wets the parched lawn
It's been a year without a single drop
And though we wait, we will always wail
Forever now, we will always move
Mother due for the umpteenth time
She holds it in with a torrid grin
The baby kicks folds his arms too quick
He never knew it was the folly that
Awaits
When the moon wanes
Awaits
When the moon wanes
I never thought that we would end this way
All of the stars lost in the evening haze
And when I freeze, I know they're watching me
Forever now, we will always move
Another scream for the love in bloom
And when I thaw you'll hear me howl to the moon
You'll circle me and I'll circle you
Bursting in and then the folly that
Love wanes
Away
Lest you wait
Await
Our love is deep when the ice has gone
Up to our waists wet from the thaw
Will make a man out of the lonely boy
I'll never see, it will be obvious
And when we know we will overflow
We never knew we'd walk right off the plank
Hold onto me as we fall away
Plunge into the blue and have a crutch or two
Or two
The moon wanes
Away
18.We Oh We
作詞:Joel Gibb
All I want is to be in his movie
And not just be old worms of yesterday
All I want is to be in his movie
And not just be old worms of yesterday
We oh, oh we oh, we oh, oh we oh
We oh, oh we oh
All I want is to be in his movie
And not just be old worms of yesteryear
All I want is to be under his covers
And not simply be a time from yesterday
All I want is to be in his movie
And not just be old worms of yesteryear
All I want is to be under his covers
And not simply be a time from yesterday
We oh, oh we oh, we oh, oh we oh
We oh, oh we oh, we oh, oh we oh
All I want is warmth from his smother
And not just be frozen for an age
Oh, my longing to be bare on your knee
And that not just be home from yesterday
All I want is warmth from his smother
And not just be frozen for an age
Oh, my longing to be bare on your knee
And that not just be home from yesterday
We oh, oh we oh, we, oh we oh
We oh, oh we oh, we, oh we oh
19.Hump From Bending
作詞:Joel Gibb
I've had it with the present laws of this awful state
The bleeding heart suffers eternally
And in the prudishness of my fumbling
Feel the impending hump from bending
Hump from bending, like a child born in spring
I'll feel it in the sweaty claws grappling with fate
Doddering, the aching wait
I feel it in the vertebrate and there it festers great
The growing gloom that precedes the pain
Hump from bending, like a child born in spring
I could take it to the government with a doleful face
I'll saunter in with a slothful grace
And maybe with my indolence and your suffering
We'll grow a meaty hump to support the kids
Hump from bending, like a child born in spring
I woke up from this reverie of standing tall and great
I was fastened to the stretching plate
And in a helpless glance, well, I had to say
That, that's what keeps me on the bend to break
Hump from bending, like a child born in spring
Growing a hump from bending like child born in spring
20.In The Union Of Wine
With fangs and red eyes I boast my hairy shrine
The sky stained poo drab as the dad drives
Through the blunder and the cold, the cassette survives
Brittle plastic, the tongue tied and my week's favorite find
In the union of wine to be seen is to be blind
The cassette is a lie, then to pause and to rewind
I tripped through his front door, entangled clothes
And bones as we lay warm
He slaps my belly to a beat with a meaty groan
We then finish with a feast, fellowship of beef
In the union of wine, I may be lost but he is mine
To be on top from behind and the odor of the refined
I wore out his radio
It's like drinking in the cold with our cheapest find
And the truth that may be told as we piss in rows
That boy is entered on his side as he wonders why that
In the union of wine, in my Walkman I am blind
'Cause the cassette is a lie, to be born is to be blind
In the union of wine he's neither bold nor even bright
In the union of wine he's neither bold nor even bright
21.Mississauga Goddam
Mississauga goddam
Bears the treachery of my own man
I'll be wearing my disguise until I rid my life
Of Mississauga goddam
Mississauga people
Carry the weight of common evil
And go about their lives with a whisper and a whine
About Mississauga goddam
Mississauga skyline
Filled with the shadows of the power line
With the garbage and refuse, we'll build a mountain to the moon
On top of Mississauga goddam
Mississauga goddam
A territory in the sky will brighten up
My life from Mississauga goddam
Mississauga goddam, Mississauga goddam
Mississauga goddam, Mississauga goddam
Mississauga steeples
Chopped by supermarket heathen
Soot soon to paint the sky, the territory leads my mind
From Mississauga goddam
Mississauga goddam
Bears the drudgery of my old man
I'll be wearing my disguise until I lead my life
From Mississauga goddam
22.I Want Another Enema
I want another enema, nema, nema
Good waste is an oxymoron, moron, moron
My body is an exit wound, oh my wounds, oh my wounds
I want another enema, nema, nema
Hunting hair to find emotional grace
I am scared you'll see my body and know
That removing hair has taken over my life
And I don't know how to stop
I want another enema, nema, nema
Good waste is an oxymoron, moron, moron
My body is an exit wound, oh my wounds, oh my wounds
I want another enema, nema, nema
On the rim of an emotional place
I fear you'll see my body and know
That removing hair has taken over my life
And I don't know how to stop
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
Good waste is an oxymoron, moron, moron
My body is an exit wound, oh my wounds, oh my wounds
I want another enema, nema, nema
On the brink of an impossible feat
I get scared you'll see my body
And know that hunting hair has taken over my life
And I don't know how to stop
On the brink of an impossible feat
I get scared you'll see my body
And know that hunting hair has taken over my life
And I don't know how to stop
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
I want another enema, nema, nema
23.Builds The Bone
When I fall I'll aim my feet at you
I'll aim my knees, floating through breeze
Too dumb to follow a moving target, still
Damn my needs, too meek to follow them
Have already touched it
It builds the bone
Although I'll never need it
It fills in the hole I know
Darkness falls and I'm cruising creek again
With a hollow head, a hollow head to boot
A prima donna, a prima donn' moment
Too shy to swallow, yet young enough to gag
All will come to it
They say it builds the bone
If I ever stop needing it
May I be thrown into the throes of toil
Let my fall, let my fall on you
Tame my feet, I'll rope my knees 'round you
It ain't my fault, no, it ain't my fault, oh no
You broke the whole, you broke the whole, oh you
All is nothing, it creates a sore
It takes my all to love it
And it relates to the end as we know
|
