• Testosterone in aircon shells,
    Pulsating blood and casting spells
    On gentle folk of kindly deed,
    Made monsters by their metal steed.
    Four-wheel drives that don't know dirt
    Weaved by compensating squirts;
    Pseudo-manhood; "turbo" chaps,
    Clutching phones from baseball caps.


    (Now) push and prise your bumper in:
    One more car length's how you win;
    Speed's not the priority,
    'S long as you're in front of me.


    Join the daily waste of time,
    Scowling at the roadworks sign.
    (But) dream of open road sublime
    And tear along the dotted line.


    Waltz around the road debris,
    Jetsam of some SUV.
    Pay no heed the lights are red,
    Fuel-injected empty head.
    Turning lights are optional;
    Means your bumpers are too small.
    Highway rules are put to bed;
    Only necks here are well red.


    (Now) push and prise your bumper in:
    One more car length's how you win;
    Speed's not the priority,
    'S long as you're in front of me.

  • Don't come back to me (4x)

    You betrayed me
    You lied to me
    So selfishly
    So childishly


    Don't come back to me
    Don't come back to me
    No, you treated me unfair
    Don't come back to me 
    Don't come back to me
    Go to hell, for all I care


    And when you show your face
    I'll make you cry (2x)
    I'll bloody damn well make you cry
    I'll make you cry 
    Make you cry (2x)


    Don't come back to me (4x)


    You deceived me
    You betrayed me
    So greedily
    So distastefully


    Don't come back to me
    Don't come back to me 
    Go to hell for all I care
    Don't come back to me
    Don't come back to me
    No, not even if you dare


  • The falling sheets pull patterns on the murky grey,
    Ignored by plastic people as they splash their way.
    As droplets slalom slowly down the window pane,
    And fuse like mad amoebae. How I hate the rain!


    It rained the night that hopeful lovers first made free,
    And bodies thrashed on linen, it seemed, endlessly.
    The lightning; sole reminder dawn would come again
    And break the spell of darkness. How I hate the rain.


    But heaven's dew is transient, so dare not wait
    For tenderness and passion to evaporate;
    Another aeon passes, but the hope's in vain
    That this time it is real. Oh! How I hate the rain.


    The falling sheets pull patterns on the murky grey,
    Ignored by plastic people as they splash their way.
    The storm within the heart, how long will that remain?
    I'm sure a damn'd sight longer than this awful rain.

  • There's work to do!
    There's work to do!


    My darling, I can see your fight
    So convinced that you are right
    Fast to attack, others to blame
    For your feelings of guilt or shame
    Unaware of this endless love
    You still believe there's not enough


    So ask, my darling:
    Is it true?
    Is it true?
    Is it true?


    Yes, people really spend their time
    Designing all the story-lines
    Entangled by the endless themes
    Dictated by their selfish memes
    If only they would stop and see
    The questions that will set them free


    So ask, my darling:
    Is it true?
    Is it true?
    Is it true?


    There's work to do!
    There's work to do!


    Finally you've suffered enough
    To open up to this innate love
    And in joy we shall inquire
    Ask the questions that are required
    Together we shall do this work
    Together we shall do the work


    So ask, my darling:
    Is it true?
    Is it true?
    Is it true?
