Platform ranting in the trees
Disturbed voices on the breeze
Huddled 'round the mad-eyed screamer
A pointed finger - the tin-can schemer

Mad-eyed screamer - mad-eyed screamer
Mad-eyed screamer - mad-eyed screamer
A pointed finger - the tin-can schemer
Mad-eyed screamer - the corner speaker

Could be a preacher - could be a teacher
You want the world to meet your maker
Now the lecher transforms the traitor
With a petrol flaring eye...

Come and see the corner speaker
Come and hear his suit drip dry
The passers-by have one obsession:
To hear his ravings to the sky

Mad-eyed screamer on your knees
Mad-eyed screamer you are not pleased
With the chatter in the trees
Your balls are freezing in the breeze

Mad-eyed screamer - mad-eyed screamer
Mad-eyed screamer - mad-eyed screamer
Your balls are freezing in the breeze
Mad-eyed screamer you are not pleased

So Unreal

What can I do - I know they've gotten to you
When you say that your whites
Have an aerial blue
What's happened to you - since I last saw you
I thought I knew your name
But it's not you - but it's not you

You're talking in a balloon
In this tidy room
Sounding like a commercial
For a serial
I wish you could feel the way that I feel
I wish you could feel but you're so unreal
You're so unreal

What can I say - what can I say
All the traits you had have all gone away
Get up and wash at the right time of day
And great the world with the right things to say
What can I say - what can I say

You're so ideal - you're never down at heal
You're so ideal - but you're so unreal
I wish you could feel the way that I feel
I wish you could feel - but you're so unreal
You're so unreal

She hates the man and he hates the man
because something strong inside
has been denied them
but not him - O not him

He hates the girl and she hates the girl
because something weak implied
they fought to push aside them
but not her - O not her

The girl isn't alive but the man is dead
because it's all been said before
the girl isn't alive but the man is dead
because you only have your mentor to draw
you whore

Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat

She hates the man and he hates the man
Because something strong inside
Has been denied them
But not him- O not him

He hates the girl and she hates the girl
because something weak implied
they fought to push aside them
but not her - O not her

The girl isn't alive but the man is dead
because it's all been said before
the girl isn't alive but the man is dead
because you only have your mentor to draw from

Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat

But not them

Thumb

Wandering through the narrow thoroughfare
The motorway is standing on its own
I see me walking there...
One for the road - one for the road
My thumbs have dropped me on the road
The headlights find my load
Following signs and always taking my time
Following signs - these thumbs have lights of their own
One more for the road
Just one more for the road
Digital fun in the sun
Follow my thumb, follow my thumb
These thumbs are my guns
See them dance when I'm blue
This beacon is my fare
Anytime, Anywhere
Take a ride by a side
In the day or the night
Travelling through
Some old, some new
Just one more for the road
Just one more for the road
Jump inside little girl
Take a ride by my side
There's no end to this ride
With this stranger tonight
There was just one more for the road
Just another one for the road
Digital fun in the sun
Follow my thumb, follow my thumb
Digital fun in the sun
Follow my thumb
Follow my thumb...

Morning Dawning

The dawning is over
The morning is over
And I can't look into your eyes

A cold November morning
A shivering new dawning
I watched your energy slide

It's sad to see it dying - that fire once so lively
Now three tears have fallen from my eyes
A dampened need for fire - A kindled desire
The power just vanished from your eyes

This feeling is crying
The sea it is sighing
For spirits that just give up and die

The dawning is over
The morning is over
I still can't look into your eyes

Inoa'Ole

Inoa'Ole...

Ice House

The ice house preserves
With incestuous flowers
Their nightly perfume overpowers me
The stamens kiss
Entwined, devouring
The heart will melt whilst the ice remains

Erogenous touch - of brother and sister
The ice retains life - no offspring to bear
Phallic flower etched into my memory
A feline form on a frosted pane

Not ashes to ashes, not dust to dust
A beckoning bouquet of blossoming lust...

O will you stay until this moment's complete?
O let me freeze you with this fragrance
So sweet
We shall not slither and wither away
The door will lock shut
When the ice names the day

Not ashes to ashes, not dust to dust
A beckoning bouquet of blossoming lust...

With your mouth around the bottle
Then you smash it on the hearth
Reach out for another one
Don't look back on the past
A chair through the window
Then through the looking glass
The crystal splinters shimmer
Bathe the pavement in moondust

Laughing in the crimson rain
We feel no pain
With shards in our souls
We'll dance again and again

O again and again
Again and again
Amidst the laughter and the crimson rain

With your mouth around the bottle
Then you smash it on the hearth
Forget tomorrow's mess
Because right now is the best

I guess we're dancing on glass...

Gecko

Giant-sized flowers, giant-sized bugs
Giant-sized gecko is making his path

Undergrowth running
A chorus of frogs
A parakeet's picnic
All writhing in a tub
Panoramic banana
A passion-fruit samba
Pale skin is itching - a tropical fever

Creatures crawl, creatures call
All creatures great and small
Gecko sits and watches all
From perches short and tall

Sky Train

Sky Train
Rising

Kula 'ula 'ula poni

'Akala 'oma 'oma 'o

Come to the Festival of Colours
Celebrate the Festival of Colours

Shake your serpent thrashing hair
Come and tint the sleeping air
Across the seas from India
But a rainbow can start anywhere

Clutching handfuls of the powder
Throw it everywhere
Chanting out their many names
Kick it to the wind...

Kula 'ula 'ula poni

A Strutting Rooster

Above is red
Below is red
Hear the ringing voice
Voice

A Strutting rooster

Flesh

The bursting balloon - cocktails are soon
Young glands, young flesh invade the room
A sardonic mood - ughh...
Watch the rich fatty: eating raw fish with avid curiosity

O piggy squeals and donkey brays - at a sober party
Doggy barks and horsy neighs - try to shock the party

Impaled on pleasure - impaled with a spear
Impaled with danger - impaled with fear
A disfigured, dismembered sex - with a third-world cast
Young glands, young flesh - the beating heart

O piggy squeals and donkey brays - at a sober party
Doggy barks and horsy neighs - try to shock the party

The bursting balloon - cocktails are soon
Young glands, young flesh penetrate the room
They fall on the camera lens against the tumble drier screen
On the edit room floor lies a messier scene

O piggy squeals and donkey brays - at a sober party
Doggy barks and horsy neighs - try to shock the party

The weatherman is calling... calling... calling
The weatherman's informing of a bright new day
There's no more gloomy weather
Forget that umbrella
No more diseases sneezing at this century
The dalek drones are drowning
We're flying, we're climbing
Cars sit corroding
As we soar away
Waltzers on the rooftops
Are spinning with side-hops
Ugly concrete towers are now bright arcades
Weathercade
These shoes have done some walking
Hear them talking
These shoes will last forever
They're made that way
The weatherman is calling... calling... calling
The weatherman's informing of a bright new day
Weathercade
Calling... calling... calling
Weathercade

More Info

Hey creepos: I'm talking to you
I've got a message to give to you
You've got a problem, we know
But there's something
You ought to know

O! Standing there, across the thoroughfare
They stand and stare with that gormless air
So funny to see how dumb some grown men can be

An unwanted weed, A dying reed
Left to consider life as it passes by
Ignoring your calling
Ignoring your taunting
Ignoring your feelings of self-hate and loathing
How empty and pointless your life (Hey!) Must seem.

See them standing, see them staring
See them wearing that same stupid face

Sticks and stones may break bones
But these taunting crones only cause inner groans
We ignore all your calling, ignore all your taunting
Ignore all your problems of self-hate and loathing
Somebody should show them O! Where to go

See them standing, see them staring
See them wearing that same creepy face

Standing there, in the thoroughfare
They stand and stare with that gormless air...
Does what you don't understand
Scare and make you mad?
Resentful and envious,
Don't you disgust yourself?
So funny to see how pathetic
Some men can be

See them standing, see them staring
See them wearing that same stupid face
Ignore all their calling
Ignore all their taunting
Ignore all their faking, their self-hate and loathing
Somebody should show them
O! Where to go!

Manchild

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

They would seek high
They would seek low
Calling their manchild as the trouble did flow
There's always somebody to watch over me
I'm never alone, I wish they'd leave me be
(Never alone, I'm never alone)

I'm just a boy
Not long for this world
I'm called Nelsito
And I'm thirteen years old
For nearly two decades
This vendetta has raged
There are no men
I'm the last in the chain
(Last in the chain, I'm manchild man)

Marimba sing high
Marimba sing low
Marimba sing high as the cemetery grows
All have been wept for:
Husbands, brothers, grandsons,
grandfathers, nephews, cousins,
uncles, fathers and sons.

I walk in boots too big for me
The women do cry as they watch over me
I work at the altar
I try to be good
But just like the others
I'll soon travel in wood
(I try to be good, manchild in wood)
(I wait for manhood, I'm the manchild)

You!

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

When my ups are down
When my downs are up
I want you
Feeling inside out
And from the outside in
I want you
On the silver screen
In a magazine
I see you
Through the telephone
Or a megaphone
I want you!
O you!
Assuring
Confusing
I see you
In saintly reverence
Or wicked decadence
I want you!
When the days just yawn
When the nights are long
I want you
In a coo-coo tone
Then I shout it home
I want you!
O you!
You!

Pity

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

Ugly words
Ugly crimes
Ugly thoughts invade your mind
No charity
No dignity
No sympathy
So I'll be deaf, dumb and blind today
Nausea is all I feel today
Divorce there crimes from my eyes
Lowered cowls
Silent vows
Withered crocus on the ground abound
From your cell are distant bells
Blossom falls like snow then dies
In silence
All decays and breaks
Silence
All decays then dies
Then dies...
Sadness chimes
Bitter times
Hardened fools
Unfair
Unkind
Mercy me
Mercy you
Say you do have pity for the things we do
Say you do
You do...
Save me
Save me
No vision today
Save me
Save me
No hearing or speaking today
Say you do have pity for the things we do
Say you do
You do...
Hear no evil
See no evil
Say no evil....

Killing time

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989. it also features on the recently released "Live" CD "Zulu" which can be only purchased from the Creatures Web Site

I wait and wait
Sleepwalk the hourglass
This way and that
The pendulum swings
Yes there's plenty of time
Always time left to kill
Does time stand still
Or hurdle on by?

Let time unwind
Let all the cogs fall out
Let man's machines collapse and rust
Face down in the dust
I'll kiss no other lips
A lifetime of nothing
Condemned without you

Been so long here
I could die here
Lying by your side
But time won't claim me
Time and me only
I'm just killing time

If the sun went out
I wouldn't mind too much
Who needs the days to trouble to fill?
If the moon didn't rise
I wouldn't be upset
Who needs moonshine to cause tears to spill?

I've been so long here
I could lie here
Under dying sky
This thirst and hunger
Holds no wonder
I'm just killing time

I await your return
There's no other one.

Willow

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

I remember the island
There's a tale to tell
Spin of the water-wheel
Snap of a conger eel
A triangular canvas
In a sea of green
Translucent man o' war
Staring to the shore
Roller coaster rides
A wish on the ferry bridge
When lightening almost struck
We kicked the rock for luck
I remember the ferry ride
I remember the night she died
All scenes from a play we see
Plainly
Slipped out of the blue
Into the black
I remember the island
But we can't go back

Willow...

Pluto Drive

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989. it also features on the recently released "Live" CD "Zulu" which can be only purchased from the Creatures Web Site

Let's go to Pluto
The atmosphere's clear
We'll be really cool there
With nothing to fear
Let's go to Pluto
It's cold and it's damp
Where children are heroes
Death is high camp
I want to see Pluto
I want to have fun
I want to turn blue under an alien sun
O let me see Pluto
It seems such a gas
With oceans of methane
And petrified grass

Let's go to Pluto
Let's live on the dot
See the bad moon rising
In a lunacy knot

Come on, let's do Pluto
It's really not far
An unleaded dream drive
To the prettiest star
I want to see Pluto
But maybe I'll wait
Till the world turns to meet its plutonium fate

The days will be long here
The years will be more
Let's go to Pluto like we did before

Let's go to Pluto
Let's live on the dot
See the bad moon rising
In a lunacy knot

Solar Choir

Originally released as part of the "Miss The Girl" single and also available on the Album "Boomerang" released in 1989.

In Light...

Speeding

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

Speeding away with no time to spare
Stealing away from that old nightmare
Speeding, speeding, I am stealing
Against the grain, unrestrained
I've invented a different game
And I'm dealing
Dealing, now I'm dealing

Something out there is calling me
Beckoning me with urgency
Speeding, speeding, I am leaving
O saints alive
Bless my soul
Driverless, now I'm in control
Speeding, speeding, time is needing
Bad pennies return from whence they came
I'll be back like a boomerang

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Speeding away with no time to spare
Speeding away from the same nightmare
Freedom, freedom, icy freedom
The trail ahead is dark and unsound
But I'm lapping it up like a greedy hound
Free at last of the city sounds
Free at last, put my foot right down

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shut your eyes
Let's hold hands
Overtaking on the tightest bends
Throw the dice
Toss a penny in the air
Heads or tails
The devil may care
Speeding, speeding, time is needing
Bad pennies return from whence they came
It all comes back like a boomerang

Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!

Speeding, I am Speeding...
I am leaving...

Fury Eyes

Punch me Judy, make me cry
You'll disappear and then I'll die
A love that's lost always returns
To feed the fire of a heart that burns

There's no sleep for Fury Eyes
So deep are the eyes of Fury

Watching faces, changing places
Running rings around the moon
Exchanging glances, taking chances
Did we laugh and sing too soon?

Our stomachs turn on a fever stream
But with no mosquito bite
Rabid kisses in a dream
Still we can't escape the sight

There's no sleep for Fury Eyes
So deep are the eyes of Fury

Tonight they exorcise the ghost of love from
its unyielding host
If that don't suit you scream and shout
If thyne offend thee pluck it out

Alone in love with the other one
The one who doesn't know
And when we dance with the other one
The eyes of Fury glow

Tonight they exorcise the ghost of love from
its unyielding host
If that don't suit you scream and shout
If thyne offend thee pluck it out

Who'll weep for the Fury Eyes?
Beholding love, a thing of beauty
There's no sleep for Fury Eyes
So deep are the eyes of Fury.

Fruitman

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

Old man sits in an apricot tree
He sees I and I sees he
Old man sweet as the fruit he's picking
Knows the rhythm of nature's ticking

Gives a smile of tooth and metal
Winks an eye like a falling petal
Face a furrowed field of life
Tracks the years of the living knife

He I love, he I know
Seasons come, so Fruitman go.

Through the crowd I enter in
See the head of virgin skin
Frail the old man's hand I take
Peace be with you Sunday shake

Sweet old man he turns to me
Tries to tell me what's to be
He don't say no words at all
Tears from him like fruit do fall

He I love, he I know
See sons that come, so Fruitman go...

Untiedundone

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

Slide over here
O listen to me
Rippling word streams
To unlock dreams

Take up the slack
Loosen these bonds
Unslip and undo
Untie my Tongue, untiedundone

It's sucking out bones
Through a melting phone
In a whispering eddy
I am undone, untiedundone

Turning to liquid
Starting to float
Everything's easy
From now on, untiedundone

Unhook and unhinge
In a river of dreams
Rippling word streams
Unraveling;
Uncork the wine
Let's toast the unborn
Its' my unbirthday
Untied and undone

Unwrap this gift
In a state of undress
The future's uncertain
Nothing less, untiedundone

Simoom

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

Drifting in, carried on dry winds
From across the Nile, the Sirens in exile
Driven to tell, driven to tell

Floating on a cloud, your face out of the crowd
A blinding sun purging everyone
Beautiful word, musical and sweet
Now all you can do is play the punishing beat...

...How harsh and shrill the word has become
Twisted and bent
A hornet's nest stirred up by the beating stick

Simoom, Simoom, increasing speed
Sucking in dry heat
Simoom, Simoom, you breathe in suffocation
Relentless Simoom, blow and whistle this tune
Pouring in, filling where once was space;
Where once was light
Where once was a face
Driven to tell
Driven to tell

Simoom, Simoom...

Strolling Wolf

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

At dusk through wheat field
Through the olive groves
And vineyards
Insects like aeroplanes
Fly past a strolling man

Crackling spike plant
Hovering hawk
All on the ground alive
Take a swig of moonshine
Listen to the madness whine
Andalucian

Andalucian sunflowers
Bulls and purple bees
Listen to the lone wolf strolling

Take a swig of moonshine
Taste its heady wine
Andalucian

Andalucian sunflowers
Bulls and purple bees
Lone wolf howling
Lone wolf howling
Strolling wolf
Strolling lone wolf
Andalucian...

Venus Sands

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

The morning star has long since gone
The sun is high in the sky
Shadowless, a figure stands,
Stranded on Venus Sands

Up in the blue and circling
The seabirds watch and wait
For movement of a certain kind
Down on their dinner plate

Where children played, a flower lays
Pulled and torn up by its roots
And where it stood, the empty space just
SCREAMS!!!

Down on the flats, baby turtles race
For safety of the big deep
And white caps come crashing in
Indifferent to tender flesh

Shriek of attack, then moving in
A raucous clash, a gourmet din
Of cruel gull beaks and tearing skin
SCREAMING!!!

Lit by the evening star at Venus Sands
Against a blood-orange sky
There's a shadow of a figure prone
Abandoned and all alone.

Morrina

Originally released on the Album "Boomerang" in 1989.

The crescent flight of the moon
Casts a pleasant light on my skin
Soothing satellite cruise
Moving on again.

Distant trains on the breeze
Distant throats start to freeze
Tearful eyes growing dim
Moving on again.

Cats that sound like babies crying
Magpie feathers in the rain
Christmas in your hair reclining
Moving on again.

Moving on again.
We are moving on again...

Such a sad boy
With your lost voice
In a metal box
Mailed second class

Into the 21st century
With a lackluster cast of a demon beam
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad
You're sad

Ah, stir it up from the permafrost
You're in the Kellogg's box
Meet the step-back kid

Into the 21st century
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy
You're sad

If you wanna live forever
You're gonna have to die first
Want your lover for a mother
Meet the dildo kid

Into the 21st century
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad
You're sad
You're sad, boy
You're sad

Sad boy
With your lost voice
In a metal box
Mailed second class

Into the 21st century
Got no mouth, but you need to scream
You're sad
You're sad
You're sad, boy
You're sad, boy

Ah, Sad...

I can't think can't sleep
are you talking to me
I drift off
with such ease
I'm not listening you see
pinned down without a crown
are you talking to me
I drift off
with such ease
I'm not listening you see
the same words
flesh eating birds
you always like to bring it down
you want to own it
you want to know it
you're only safe when it's pinned down
a bug stuck on a pin
you love to see it struggling
she's not a pet to be tamed
think you can bring her will to heel
your baying hounds
head to the ground
you always like to bring it down
you can't take it only break it
you'll be the one that's left pinned down
pinned down, without a crown
are you talking to me
I drift off with such ease
I'm not listening you see
eat these words
these preying birds
now I'm the one that lets you down
you're pinned down and you've found
it makes no difference to me

disembodied wreckage
I'm paralysed

a life it has found
want calm want friend want end

limbs over there

Slipping Away

Released as part of the four track "Eraser Cut" EP which also includes the tracks, "Pinned Down", "Thank You" & "Guillotine". More Info

Pale against the sun
my world is
slowly dissolving
ground beneath my feet
it's melting away
black falls into black
I'm just a shadow
of
my former self
losing gravity
don't you know I'm
slipping away
fix your stare load your eyes
now I'm shot down in
flames
fix your stare load your eyes
all in the firmament
flares
a sea of melting clocks
the tick tock
time dripping away
all that was for real
is just a memory
starting to fade
all that was for real
just a memory
slipping away
it's
slipping
away

All the guests have left and gone
But I'm still here on the 2nd floor

2nd floor...and I still want more

On the 2nd floor

Aftermath in an amber glow
A vodka bath for this shipwrecked soul
Seconds fly as the years flow by
But I don't care

2nd Floor...and I still want more
2nd Floor...coming back for more
On the 2nd floor

Here it comes again
Taste of jagged glass and rusty can
There are just black holes where the stars would be watching
Just black holes where the stars should of have been

Hands of dirt caress the urine-coloured sun
Swarms of angels come to kill your son
And there's nothing but black holes where the stars should've been
Nothing but black holes where the stars would be watching

Oh the strange auger noise
Digging again and in your pit
Cover them in menstrual stream
Covered them black gold
Plunge them onto ingots
Ripping through your menstrual stream
Rising up taste of rusty can and jagged glass feeling again
Here it comes again...

Hordes of locusts blot out the sun
Raining down...rain on everyone
Poor little rich thing
Poor little bleeding hearts
Poor little misunderstood
Piss on it
I'm sick of it
Enough is enough
I wanna fuck it up
In spite of it
Just for the hell of it
I wanna fuck it up

Out of sync
Out of phase
Out of sight
Out of spite
Raining down...raining everyone
Poor little rich thing
Poor little bleeding hearts
Poor little misunderstood
Ah, piss on it
I'm sick of it
Enough is enough...enough is enough
I wanna fuck it up
For the hell of it
Well, it makes me laugh
In spite of it
Out of sync
Out of phase
Out of sight
Out of spite
Piss on it...I'm sick of it

Here it comes again
Taste of jagged glass and rusty can
There are just black holes where the stars should've have been
Just black holes where the stars would be watching

Piss on it...piss on it
I'm sick of it...I'm sick of it
I wanna fuck it up
Just for the hell of it
Enough is enough
Well, it makes me laugh

It makes me laugh

I heard the news today
Billie's gone away
Left us all for good
No one understood

You only had to say
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may

I was feeling low
You called, and you were, too
We'd meet Saturday
It happened on Wednesday

You only had to say, it's sad
I would understand
You only had to say
Whatever come what may

I don't want you brave
A truce we made today
If you're feeling sad
On me, you can depend

You only had to say, it's sad
I would understand

You only had to say, it's sad
Whatever come what may

You only had to say
I would understand
Don't be scared to say
Whatever come what may

You only had to say, it's sad

I Was Me

Originally released on The Creatures 1999 album "Anima Animus". Also features on the "Live" album "Zulu", which can be purchased from The Creatures Web Site.

I can't tell how it all first began
Just a face at a window, familiar
So I walked up to see that I was wrong
That's when I first asked if I was me
If I was me...

Same lips, same hair, the same stare
When she laughed, she was sipping my favourite drink
With a friend I had known since my birth
It's not fair
I was me and not she
I was me, not she

Everywhere that I go I see me
In a life that I had not long ago
I'm not recognised or heard, but I swear
I was me
I was me
I was me
I swear I was me

I walk through the dawn in a daze
Same lips, same hair, the same stare
It's on the tip of my tongue
Oh, oh yeah
I swear I was me
I was me
Remember...I was me
I remember I was me
I was me

Can't tell how it all first began
Just a face at a window...familiar
I was me
Oh, I swear I was me
I was me

Dog in the manger, happy days
Why don't you take it all?
Take what is left
So, take mine
Take mine

Counting out and putting nothing in
You calculate, multiply your sins
So, take mine
Take mine
Ah...so, take mine
Take mine

I know you are scared to be alone
If I were you, I would be, too
So, take mine
Take mine

Look at this; it needn't be this way
Your misery is seeking company
So, take mine
Take mine
Ah...so, take mine
Take mine
So, take mine
Take mine
So, take mine
Take mine

Are you happy now?
Are you happy now?

All She Could Ask For

Originally released as the B Side to "2nd Floor", and appeared on all three formats including a remix.

All she could ask for
How could she want more?
Down by the river her body lies cold
Dream me an empire
Dream the ocean floor
Dream me an alibi
Dreaming her once more

And rise my reflection
An' rise rivers dance
An' rise new devotion
An' rise my defender
Glistening sculpture
How statuesque
Eyes so overwhelming
I catch my breath

Only the river, my only home
I'll die beside her
I'm going home

Down by the river her body lies cold
All she could ask for
How could she want more?

Dead fish floating up to the ceiling

Prettiest thing; I'm moving in

Razor's edge
Wanna feel my fingers dipping in

Don't you think it funny?
Don't you think it sad?
I was thinking of you
Thinking frozen land
Make the heart grow fonder
Don't make it separate
Just a small reminder, a keepsake
Ahh...Ahh...Ahh...Ahh...

And when you're feeling sad
Can't imagine happiness
And when you're feeling glad
Alaska shows her greedy hand

Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Starting to fade in Siberian land
In Siberia...
Ahh...Ahh...Ahh...Ahh...

Just when your comforted
Just when you start to breathe
The winter pounces like a band of thieves
O, the pain of joy
O, the joy of pain
Zoom in, zoom out, cut, fade to black

You're disconnected...disconnected
You're disconnected...disconnected

Make the heart grow fonder, then obliterate
Just a small reminder, a keepsake
Don't you think it funny
Don't you think it sad
Nothing left of you in this arctic land
In Antarctica
Ahh...Ahh...Ahh...Ahh...

Disconnected...Disconnected
You're disconnected...Disconnected

Another Planet

Originally released on the Soundtrack to "Lost in Space" but a different version featured on The Creatures 1999 album "Anima Animus".

I'm here...I'm here on another planet
How's it with you on your planet?

All was surreal on this planet
I felt so regal; it was so romantic

Now it's all changed and the plot's unfolding
Another fairytale with a twisted end

They're coming out of the walls
They're seeping in
There's armies of them crawling
They're coming in
They're coming in

Satellite...I'm thinking
Satellite above looks down unblinking
Satellite afloat...I'm thinking

Ah...they're coming out of the walls
They're seeping in
Breed of identicals
Speak in forked tongues
Sprouting all over me and blossoming
I'm breaking out of the walls
I'm coming in...I'm coming in...I'm coming in

I'm here...I'm here on another planet
How's it with you on your planet?

Satellite above looks down unblinking
Slide aboard...I'm thinking
Satellite...Satellite...I'm thinking
I'm thinking...

Don't Go To Sleep

Originally released on The Creatures 1999 album "Anima Animus".

Don't you go without me
Don't go and leave me here
When I lie on my side feel my heart being crushed
Falling through the spaces
Falling through an unlit scene

Sleep dust on your eyelids
Mahjongg tiles flicker serene
Play the four winds in dim-lit bars
Aqualung feels heavy

Don't you go without me
Don't you go and leave me here

Venus In Furs

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colours made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark

Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colours made of tears
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girlchild in the dark

Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

Witchcraft

Originally sang by Frank Sinatra, The Creatures version can be found on the "Live" album "Zulu" which can be purchased from The Creatures Web Site

Those fingers in my hair

That sly come hither stare

That strips my conscience bare

It's witchcraft

And I've got no defence for it

The heat is too intense for it

What good would common sense for it do

'Cause it's witchcraft, wicked witchcraft

And although, I know, it's strictly taboo

When you arouse the need in my

My heart says yes indeed in me

Proceed with what your leading me to

It's such an ancient pitch

But one I wouldn't switch

'Cause there's no nicer witch than you

The Lighthouse

Originally released in 1994 on the album " Songs From The Cold Seas" directed by Hector Zazou

The winter day broke blue and bright
With glancing sun and glancing spray
As o'er the swell our boat made way
As gallant as a gull in flight

But as we neared the lonely isle
And looked up at the naked heights
And saw the lighthouse tower white
With blinded lantern that all night
Had never shot a spark
Of comfort thro' the dark
So ghostly in the cold sunlight
It seemed that we were struck awhile
With wonder all too dread for words

So ghostly
In the cold sunlight

So ghostly... before...

Murdering Mouth

Not yet released

Like a typewriter tearing through the paper

Your shark's grin teeth bite down never smiling

And at the centre there's always you my darling

Yes at the centre always you my dear

Your murdering mouth is forever hungry

Your murdering mouth leering at me

Your murdering mouth relentlessly pounding

Your murdering mouth takes aim at me

Point blank bullets flying straight through me

Shatter light fields that never harm me

Multiple stab wounds yet no bleeding

No bleeding, never any healing

These open wounds that fester and rupture

These open wounds under merciless attack

I only asked you if what you say is true dear

I only asked you if what you do is fair

Your murdering mouth is forever hungry

Your murdering mouth leering at me

Your murdering mouth grinding and snapping

Your murdering mouth pointed at me

I'm lying dead here staring at the ceiling

I'm lying dead here yet there is no crime scene

Multiple stab wounds there's always you my darling

White jagged opening closing

At the centre always you my darling

At the centre always you my dear

At the centre

When you're sitting all alone in the middle of the floor
there's something uncontrollable as you sit there watching the door
Colour me
tattooed on the inside
Slap your thigh, slap your calf, sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me
Something fierce along my spine
to scare the madman from behind
fortify my arms with some snake-like lines
Colour me, colour me
Like a stomach split in half
by a surgeon's cutting art
Colours me, colours me, colours me
When you're sitting all alone
in the middle of the floor
there's something uncontrollable as you sit there watching the door
Tattooed on the inside
a lonely feeling
inoculating
colours me
Slap your thigh, slap your calf, sing your mantra, leave your mark
Colour me

Release the angels
Go on release them
Rose petal squadrons
The bees are swarming--warming your cold skin

Such a womanly man
Such a boyish girl
Clutching at strings
Of blackened pearls--warming your cold sting

Didn't they teach you anything at all
Something's not better than nothing at all
B side ourselves

Now you belong
Where we belong
Into the landslide
Clandestine--beside the real world

Raw senses bring us
Beside ourselves
Instincts to guide us through this foggy world

We're beside ourselves
B side ourselves

TANTARA TO BEGIN- TANTARA START AGAIN

TANTARA IN A THRONG- TANTARA EVERYONE

DON'T BE LAME DON'T BE LIMP

DON'T BE DOWDY DON'T BE MEEK

I'M IN NO MOOD TO SIT & WEEP

COLOURED LIGHTS & HIGH JINKS

TANTARA WITH A FLAIR- TANTARA IF YOU DARE

TANTARA- ANYWHERE- TANTARA EVERYWHERE

IT'S A TOAST & NOT A BOAST

WITH A SWAGGER TO THE HOST

IT'S A PARTY A PAGEANTRY

TO CELEBRATE OUR CLARITY

HOUR ZERO BY JINGO

A NEW DAY FANDANGO

NOW IS HERE & THEN IS GONE

TIME TO DAZZLE & MOVE ON

TANTARA EUPHORIC- TANTARA MESMERIC

TANTARA TO BEGIN- TANTARA START AGAIN
