you got me good
hook line sinker
i knew you woud
cos i let you
saw your bait took a bite
you think you've won
but the battle has just begun
when the line pulls tight
are you ready
for a tug of war and a fight?
you will find out
that i'm not giving up
and i'm not getting out
you will know
that i'm not giving up
and i'm not letting go
i'm in so deep
i dive i swim
sometimes i sink
with the hook in me
embedded in my belly
i can take the pain
it's a pleasure
it's all the same
when the line pulls tight
i'll be ready
for a tug of war and a fight
you will find out
that i'm not giving up
and i'm not getting out
you will know
that i'm not giving up
and i'm not letting go
because it's me who has caught you
i'm gonna reel you out
and pull you in
it's me who has caught you
i'm gonna reel you out
and pull you into the water

weigh your anchor

weigh your anchor
you've been rattling round this town for too long
like a bean in a maraca you need to strike out on your own
strike out on your own
so set your sail
set your sights
the horizon is calling tonight
headed outward bound
you've got to get lost if you wanna find out
anything at all
so weigh your anchor
and if the wind don't blow
just row
and if your arms get tired
just go
drifting
floating
away

i'm gonna sharpen my senses
eyesight, taste and smell
detach from my conscious mind
and go under the spell
i will crawl through the undergrowth
take the time to stalk my prey
strike when the feeling is right
with no emotion in the way
i'll be a slave to my appetite
any command i will obey
i'll just take what i want when i need it
with no emotion in the way
with no emotion in the way
i want to go
i want to live more like an animal
an animal
i will thrive on basic instinct
choose a mate and get straight down to it
no need to worry about love or romance
or if she's just faking it
we'll create a new generation
accept the fact that the weak ones die
we'll just be getting on with life
we'll never need to wonder why
i want to go
i want to live more like an animal
an animal

oh yeah you're right
there's no point talking to you
you've made up your mind
you fool
you're so in-flexible
it's incredible
oh yeah you're right
it's ok
to have a point of view
but there's no point trying to force it down
everybody else's neck
yeah everybody else's neck
oh yeah your right
you want to make it normal
but you can't
you want to make it nornmal
but you can't
please
for the love of yourself
just enjoy your mistakes
let them lead you on to somewhere else
if you are flexible you'll be invincible
you'll be alright
but no you're right
you want to make it normal
but you can't
you want to make it nornmal
but you can't

egg

roast loads of garlic with my bird
fill my tomato full of herb
lay a piece of bacon with my egg
spread too much butter on my bread
pour me a whiskey
pour me a beer
roll another reefer
let's get out of here
cut deep fat grooves right through my tunes
pump loads of air into my lungs
stick it all on the beat and in tune
let the vibrations shake the room
pour me a whiskey
pour me a beer
roll another reefer
let's get out of here
out of here
out of here
take all that make-up off my girl
put her in a pretty little white dress and give her a twirl
make her fresh
make her pretty
a little bit dirty and a little bit dizzy
most of all make her all mine
pour me a whiskey
pour me a beer
roll another reefer
let's get out of here
out of here
out of here

when she misses

oh she cries
said you've got to

when she hits it
then she smiles
when she hits it
oh she smiles
said you've got to
work together
you've got to
work together
when we get it
we're alive
when we get it
we're alive
said you've got to

rats
06:23

give me a smile
just make it a cheap one
open wide and i'll make you rich
look at the rats hanging on the corner
i'm carrying cash covered in cocaine blood stains
i'm strolling these shitty streets
and i'm blowing smoke chains
and the rats hanging on the corner
give me a sign
just make it a clear one
never mind about all the small print
it'll be fine
like the piss soaking up in the back of my jeans
do i look like i could care?
it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you clean it up
the stronger they grow back with their immunity
it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you soak it up
the stronger you'll become
i'm thinking unspeakable thoughts almost all the time
she behaves so very well
in my dirty mind
like the rats hanging on the corner
don't give me the vaccine even if i look a bit queasy
i don't want to be cured before i catch the diseases
from the piss soaking up in the back of my jeans
do i look like i could care?
it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you clean it up
the stronger they grow back with their immunity
it's a dirty life for you
a dirty life for me
the more you soak it up
the stronger you'll become
look at the rats hanging on the corner

war
04:13
|

|
technology is just for making killing more efficient
the animals have fed us well but we're still prone to disagreement
so we kicked it off tooth and nail
soon we're picking up sticks and stones
now we do it with electricity
we do it with explosions
seen it before
we'll see it again
war
it's what we are living for
it's in my head
and it's in my home
it's out on the streets
and on the other side of the ocean
seen it before
we'll see it again
war
it's what we are living for
we do it food, we do it for god
we do it for power and we do it for love
we do it for land, we do it for oil
we do it for peace and yeah we're doing it for freedom
saying:
'you've got what i want and my god is better than yours'
'you've got what i want and my cause - more noble than yours'
'you've got what i want and my god is better than yours'
'you've got what i want'
seen it before
we'll see it again
war
it's what we are living for

never strangers
07:01

i've killed my darling
i broke her neck
she didn't deserve it
i'm just stupid
it's been 19 years
she is my only one
i wore a hole in her under my thumb
we walked a really long road together
picking our path as we roll
we were stamping our feet
flying off the beat
and we were never strangers at all
i was only fifteen
when i picked her up
when she went down last night
she couldn't get up
my bruises will heal
and the cuts will grow over
but my heart will be aching forever if i have to find another
we walked a really long road together
picking our path as we roll
we were stamping our feet
flying off the beat
and we were never strangers at all
so i'm gonna try and fix her
as easy as i fix me a drink
and if i can't do it i must be fucking stupid
we walked a really long road together
picking our path as we roll
we were stamping our feet
flying off the beat
and we were never strangers at all

if happinesses grow on trees
i don't know how to pick them
if happinesses grow on trees
i'm too short
see all those happinesses hanging up there in the branches
they're all plump, juicy and sweet
but they're all out of reach
so i just lie down
i'll take them all just lying down
i'm just waiting
i could be a bird
i could be a monkey
it's so easy
easy like lying down
so send a gale
rattle that tree
all those fruits are falling down on me
i'll take them all just lying down
i'm just waiting
i'm just waiting

it's night time but the fridge is still working
in the morning i'll still be buzzing
figure 8
if you look around the corner
what will you see there?
figure 8
so check your balance and do your sums
keep an eye on the second hand
but you've got it all wrong
figure 8
you don't need a lucky number
there's either nothing or it's infinite
you don't need a lucky number
it's night time but the whore is still working
in the morning she'll still be buzzing
figure 8
if you creep around the corner
who will you scare there?
figure 8
so check your shape - feel alive
keep an eye on the wild life
when she's walking down the street her hips swing
figure 8
you don't need a lucky number
there's either nothing or it's infinite
you don't need a lucky number
if you look at her from sideways
what do you see?

kill me likeyou mean it
04:18
|

|
kill me like you mean it
don't waste any time
if you find me on the life support
just cut the lines
but don't burn my body
please just place me in a hole
i don't need a coffin
just my bass to hold
and send me on my way
i will live a day inside an earthworm
a year inside a tree
and i'll be eaten in the fruit you pick and flowing out your pee
if i don't know what your name is
if i'm dribbling on the floor
if i can't control my bowels
if i can't catch a ball
just send me on my way
i will live a day inside an earthworm
a year inside a tree
and i'll be eaten in the fruit you pick and flowing out your pee
don't get me wrong
i want to live a long life in good health
with my body built from bits that used to be part of somebody else
you put a little matter here
an atom there
turn the ground into the air
we are all gonna rearrange
so just send me on my way
i will live a day inside an earthworm
a year inside a tree
and i'll be eaten in the fruit you pick and flowing out your pee
i'll be flowing out your pee
draining down the sewer
moving out to sea
turning into fishes

the yes mess UK
Formed by songwriter Danthedan - The Yes Mess is a rock and roll band that contains three bass players.
Fortunately one is contained behind a drum kit and another behind an acoustic guitar; the tallest actually plays the bass.
Add to that: An idiot savant accordion player, some dancing with flamingos and a bumble bee of electric guitar.
The sum pulses and swarms....
