Dance of the Mail Order Bride
Spare me your sorry eyes, I think I’ve had enough and I’m not alone
And spare me the sorry lines, cos I’ve heard ‘em all before
I’m logging back online, stumbled onto something that’ll make my day
So spare me the puppy eyes, & move outa my way
Haven’t got time to be foolin’ around
That’s why I paid for my pleasure and pain, it’s just a matter of pride (yeah)
I sold my soul on the net for the dance of the mail order bride (yeah)
I’ve seen it happen before
Time I was moving along, I’m looking for the booty with the happiest smile
I’ve been searching so damn long, I think it’s gonna take a while
Here’s one with perfect legs, and look here there’s another one with succulent breasts
I’ve been searching all night long, because I’m shopping for the best
Haven’t got time to be foolin’ around
That’s why I paid for my pleasure and pain, it’s just a matter of pride (yeah)
Sold my soul on the net for the dance of the mail order bride (yeah)
When she gets four on the floor
I’m gonna pay
Haven’t got time to be foolin’ around cos I’m searchin’ all over again
I’m gonna pay for my pleasure and pain, it’s just a matter of pride (yeah)
Sold my soul on the net for the dance of the mail order bride (yeah)
I found the girl of my dreams and I’m ready for a hell of a ride (yeah)
Sold my soul on the net for the dance of the mail order bride (yeah)
I’m gonna pay
For a mail order bride

Hot When You Cry
Send a rocket up into the sky, & watch it blow into a million pieces
Whenever I wonder why, I have a chat about the world with Jesus
Tell a story with a morbid end, lookin for a little interaction
Tell a story how I lost a friend, goin’ fishing for delayed reactions
Anything to squeeze a tear out of her eye
You’re so hot when you cry
I’m milkin’ it every little way
& for all the wrong reasons
Keep on tellin’ you lies
I don’t wanna spoil the effect
When it brings me to my knees
Make a promise that I never keep, make a time without intent to be there
Tell her that it wasn’t meant to be, any time I see her walking on air
Pull the rug out from beneath her feet, take her somewhere that she’s sick of seein’
Never make it where we’re meant to meet, call her something that she’s sick of bein’
Anything to squeeze a tear out of her eye
You’re so hot when you cry
I’m milkin’ it every little way
& for all the wrong reasons
Keep on tellin’ you lies
I don’t wanna spoil the effect
When it brings me to my knees (I tell ya)
You’re so hot when you cry
Whenever a tear runs down your cheek
I get shivers down my spine
Hold that look in your eye
You make it too easy for me
To turn water into wine
Send a rocket up into the sky, & watch it blow into a million pieces
When I’m feelin’ the need to fly, I have a chat about the world with Jesus
Tell a story with a morbid end, lookin for a little interaction
Tell a story how I lost a friend, goin’ shopping for the latest fashion
Anything that I can do to make her cry (anything that I can do to make her cry)
Anything to squeeze a tear out of her eye

Peacefully
I like you better when you’re sleeping (yeah)
Then you can’t take me by surprise
I’ve given up these dreams of living here in harmony again
I’d rather live in paradise (yeah)
And you know I’ve had trouble sleeping
Cos of this one step forward and two steps back
And it seems I’m better being on my own again
I’m falling to pieces
I like when you’re not here on weekends (yeah)
So I don’t sleep with open eyes
I’d give an arm if you would stay away for just another day
I’d rather roll over and die (yeah)
And you know I’ve had trouble sleeping
Cos of this one step forward and two steps back
And it seems I’m better being on my own again
I’m falling to pieces
Step back from a heart attack
I’m alive and I’m awake and I’ve moved the stone
I’m not the chosen one
But at least I’m living peacefully here on my own
I’ve laid awake at night time thinking (yeah)
You never wake to hear me cry
I’ve made a hundred plans to pack and fly a thousand miles away
I never did but don’t know why (yeah)
And you know I’ve had trouble sleeping
Cos of this one step forward and two steps back
And it seems I’m better being on my own again
I’m falling to pieces
Step back from a heart attack
I’m alive and I’m awake and I’ve moved the stone
I’m not the chosen one
But at least I’m living peacefully here on my own
Sure like living peacefully here on my
Sure nice living peacefully here on my own

On Her Own
Kid yourself and fantasize that now’s as good a time to call
No mistakes and no surprise when there’s writing on the wall
Only one thing left to do before you simmer in the sun
You can stare until you’re blue you’re not the only one
She doesn’t care about a soul except her own
She’s got her own agenda and she’s made it known
She doesn’t want you to pick her up, she said she’ll be alright on her own
She said that she doesn’t need you to be with her, she said she’ll see how she goes on her own
Nothin’ to gain so much to lose, ya lost your life but never mind
There’s still the stories that you tell about the friends you left behind
Is it fun to fool yourself & whisper words of solitude
Is it time to wander home, I would if I were you
She doesn’t want you to pick her up, she said she’ll be alright on her own
She said that she doesn’t need you to be with her, she said she’ll see how she goes on her own
She doesn’t want you to pick her up, she said she’ll be alright on her own
She said that she doesn’t need you to be with her, she said she wants you to leave her alone

Clinically Excited
I know I’m gonna get hurt but I like it
I know I’m gonna go down cos I’m psychic
I’m pumped, for getting’ in the mood
For doing something crazy, doin’ something crude
I can’t help jumpin’ out of my brain
So someone hold me down before I go insane
Diagnosis clinically excited
Prognosis I’m prone to getting high
Permanently off my head
Nothing stops me till I’m dead
I know I’m gonna get high cos I’ve tried it
I know nothin’ gets me down cos I fight it
I’m psyched, I’m waiting for the moon
For doin’ something stupid & doing it soon
I can’t help jumpin’ out of my skin
I’m going straight to hell for all my sins
Diagnosis clinically excited
Guaranteed to help you raise a smile
Permanently off my head
Nothing stops me till I’m dead
I know that when my wave comes I’ll ride it
I know I’m gonna get deep inside it
I’m wild, I’m living off the land
I dish it out tough and take it like a man
I can’t help jumpin’ out of my brain
So cut me loose and let me do it again
Diagnosis clinically excited
Prognosis I’m prone to getting high
Permanently off my head
Nothing stops me till I’m dead
Diagnosis clinically excited
Come and get your service with a smile
Permanently off my head
Nothing stops me till I’m dead

Emirembe
Emirembe, peace to men who love to live to fight another day
Emirembe, to all who gave their life to send a message from the grave
Sleep my child, cos the end is here tonight
Daddy’s proud that you put up a hell of a fight
Just like a second birth, the meek inherit all the earth
And anyone who feels like they understand will lend a helping hand
Emirembe, peace to all who don’t belong and those who’ve been betrayed
Emirembe, to all the folk who never get to see the light of day
Sleep my child, cos the end is here tonight
Daddy’s proud that you put up a hell of a fight

Pure Evil
Well I can run all day & I can run all night
& I can fly through the air like a satellite
Yeah I can do anything that I wanna do
But I won’t do a think you tell me to, cos I’m pure evil
Look at me girl and I’ll show you why
All the hairs on your neck are standing up so high
My teeth are razor sharp & my eyes glow red
And your family will soon be dead, cos I’m pure evil
That’s me (ha ha ha), just look at me go
When it comes to being evil I’m the star of the show
I’m an animal and I live and breathe
& I’m chasing you down on my hands and knees
& when I get you down and I salivate
Then I know that you will appreciate that I’m pure evil
Hey, come a little bit closer, come and take a seat
To become immortal I need your fresh meat
I’m pure evil, pure evil that’s me
I’m pure evil, come & get some o’ me
Hey, come a little bit closer, come and feel the heat
To become immortal I need your fresh meat
