I Wanna Destroy You

I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you I feel it comin' on again, just like it did before They feed your pride with boredom and they lead you on to war! The way you treat each other really makes me feel ill 'Cause if you wanna fight then you're just dying to get killed! I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you A pox upon the media and everything you read They tell you your opinions and they're very good indeed! I wanna destroy you And when I have destroyed you, I'll come picking at your bone And you won't have a single atom left to call your own! I wanna destroy you I wanna destroy you Wanna destroy you Wanna destroy you Wanna destroy you

Kingdom Of Love

In the spiritual kingdom of love You're the one that I'm thinkin' of Yeah, in the spiritual kingdom of love You've been layin' eggs under my skin Now they're hatching out under my chin Now there's tiny insects showin' through And all them tiny insects look like you In the primitive jungle of love It's funny what you're capable of Yeah, in the primitive jungle of love The way you look and all the things you said If looks could kill then, baby, I'd be dead Either someone's cloned you and you aren't Or you grow out of me just like a plant Ain't no way I'm gonna be Anything I oughta be All I want to do is be your creature Ain't no way I'm gonna be Anything I wanna be All I want to do is be your teacher In the physical kingdom of time I guess that your dish is full of slime Well, in the physical kingdom of time You know I would ramble all through time and space Just to have a butcher's at your face You're the one I love or so it seems Because you've confiscated all my dreams

Insanely Jealous

She's walking down the street Me, I'm just invisible And who or where she walks with makes no difference to me The people that she meets She turns them into sideshows They're just here for their amusement, that's not what I want to be But I'm insanely jealous of you Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you The night is black and thick I wander past your window And I catch a cigarette thrown from a jewel-encrusted hand It comes on pretty quick Exactly like a crocodile In search of a mirage across the undulating sand But I'm insanely jealous of you Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you I don't know why the people want to meet When all they know is that they'll breed like rabbits in the end 'Cause ordinary people on the street They never know, but if they can't be rabbits they'll be friends And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me And I'm insanely jealous of you Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you I just can't let it out This feeling of insanity Is thicker than a barge upon a shattered heap of coal I know what it's about Like crying from a nightmare And the one who lies beside you cannot hear to save a soul But I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go And I'm insanely jealous of you Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong They call it love And the damage that we do, it just goes on and on and on Not long enough Paint is cracked and dry The name is now illegible And everything is lost upon the cracked and blistered hull Beneath a yellow sky The lovers trip beside a ship But all I hear when they embrace is just the kiss of skulls And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know And I'm insanely jealous of the hairs upon your back And I'm insanely jealous of the spiders in your path And I'm insanely jealous of the stains upon your sheet And I'm insanely jealous of the stuff inside your feet And I'm insanely jealous of the things upon your bed And I'm insanely jealous of the jerk that's in your head And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you love And I'm insanely jealous of the fingers in your glove And I'm insanely jealous of you Insanely jealous of you Insanely jealous of you Insanely jealous of you

Underwater Moonlight

He was white and she was white as only statues are Fifty years they stood there looking stupid by a jar One night in mid-august when the moonlight got too strong They climbed off their pedestal and then they sang this song Past the gun emplacement and the bones as white as bleach Through the rats and ivy till they came out on a beach Out into the ocean till they disappeared from view Honey, when it gets you there's just nothing you can do Underwater moonlight sets the body free Underwater moonlight, baby, you and me Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight He was pink and she was pink and onward they did row Didn't see the giant squid, though it was fairly slow When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead The statues took their place and then they rowed back home instead Underwater moonlight, take your baby down Underwater moonlight, watch you baby drown with love And in the moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Far across the sea Fancy and free Once again Once again I can take you down (Moonlight) Below the sea (Moonlight) Why don't you feed the fish? (Moonlight) I'll make you feed the fish (Moonlight) I'll watch you feed the fish (Moonlight) I'll watch you feed the fish (Moonlight) Underwater moonlight sets the body free Underwater moonlight, baby, you and me Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight Underwater moonlight
