Darken My Mind lyrics
You tell me my futureMy fate in your eyesMususing my chastityYou master of disguiseWhen will I find an answerYou darken my mindWhen will I find the exitInto the other sideBut you darken my mindYou sell the keyThe prize is meMy soul and all my destinyYou harve
I thought I'd take a walk todayYou tell me my futureMy fate in your eyesMususing my chastityYou master of disguiseWhen will I find an answerYou darken my mindWhen will I find the exitInto the other sideBut you darken my mindYou sell the keyThe prize is meMy soul and all my destinyYou harve
It's a mistake I sometimes make
My children lay asleep in bed
My wife lay wide-awake
I kissed her softly on the brow
I tried not to make a sound
But with stony eyes she looked at me
And gently squeezed my hand
Call it a premonition, call it a crazy vision
Call it intuition, something learned from mother
But when she looked up at me, I could clearly see
The Sword of Damocles hanging directly above her
Oh Lord Oh my Lord
Oh Lord
How have I offended thee?
Wrap your tender arms around me
Oh Lord Oh Lord
Oh My Lord
(V: Bob)Here we go with politicsIt's so fucked, it makes me sickHe's a socialist, you're just thickTell me you're an anarchistWhat's that swastika in your fistYou're naive, you're naiveYou don't know who to believe
They were not making any sense
They claimed that I had lost the plot
Kept saying that I was not
The man I used to be
They held their babes aloft
Threw marsh mellows at the Security
And said that I'd grown soft
Call it intuition, call it a creeping suspicion,
But their words of derision meant they hardly knew me
For even I could see in the way they looked at me
The Spear of Destiny sticking right through me
Oh Lord Oh my lord
Oh Lord
How have I offended thee?
Wrap your tender arms round me
Oh Lord Oh lord
Oh My
Come Live With Me lyrics
I was thirty-seven You were seventeen You were half my age The youth I'd never seen Unlikely people meeting in a dream Heaven only knows the way it should have been Here today my tomorrow Where you lead I will follow All that kissing No passion missing Come live with me Kiss the

Now I'm at the hairdressers
People watch me as they move past
A guy wearing plastic antlers
Presses his bum against the glass
Now I'm down on my hands and knees
And it's so fucking hot!
Someone cries, "What are you looking for?"
I scream, "The plot, the plot!"
I grab my telephone, I call my wife at home
She screams, "Leave us alone!" I say, "Hey, it's only me"
The hairdresser with his scissors, he holds up the mirror
I look back and shiver; I can't even believe what I can see
Be mindful of the prayers you send<
No More Of That lyrics
They never ask us if we want a war Who do they think they're talkin' for Cos we never get no say They have to have it all their way [Chorus:] Oh, we want no more of that You can't poush us under the mat Oh we want no more of that The man who pulls the trigger's

Pray hard but pray with careThey never ask us if we want a war Who do they think they're talkin' for Cos we never get no say They have to have it all their way [Chorus:] Oh, we want no more of that You can't poush us under the mat Oh we want no more of that The man who pulls the trigger's
For the tears that you are crying now
Are just your answered prayers
The ladders of life that we scale merrily
Move mysteriously around
So that when you think you're climbing up, man
In fact you're climbing down
Into the hollows of glamour, where with spikes and hammer
With telescopic camera, they chose to turn the screw
Oh I hate them, Ma! Oh I hate them, Pa!
Oh I hate them all for what they went and done to you
Oh Lord Oh my Lord
Oh Lord
How have I offended thee?
Wrap your tender arms round me
Oh Lord Oh Lord
Oh My Lord
