WILD ANGELS
when i was delirious
i dreamt of us
and all the things that we would do
couldn't touch, couldn't kiss
couldn't love
so all i did was talk to you
you said, nothing you can do 'bout it
lie there, fever
you wanna go outside but i wont let ya
you said, i will bring you soup, blankets
water, kiss ya
only on the forehead 'til you're better
all those wild angels
those fierce and fearsome angels
so high, celestial
yeah all of them have fallen ill
sometime
and all the gods that ever walked
would bring 'em drugs
whatever they were dreaming of
make 'em shout their visions out
or write 'em down
cos no-one would believe that stuff
they said, nothing you can do 'bout it
lie there, fever
you wanna go outside but i wont let ya
they said, i will bring you soup, blankets
water, kiss ya
only on the forehead 'til you're better
those feathers brushing 'cross my skin
i never had such a feeling
ever before or ever again
like they'd all come visiting

SWEET DEMONS
trying to forget the taste of your lips
sweet nothings you said, the things that we did
every time i fall it happens so fast
and i can't help myself, can't hold myself back
oh and those sweet demons get in my fingers
and i don't count to ten just let 'em send my secrets
stop me sleeping, get under my skin and
i'm scared to find out just what kind of trouble i'm in
oh god, oh god, oh god, oh my god, oh my god
i got those sweet demons, those sweet demons
oh god, oh god, oh god, oh my god, oh my god
i got no peace, no peace
from those sweet demons
those sweet demons
been making my own work for these idle thumbs
so who's been leading me into temptation
i know why they say you look like bad news
cos i just wanna turn you on and watch you
love 'em, love 'em
give 'em their freedom
try and keep 'em
where you can see 'em
oh god, oh god, oh god, oh my god, oh my god
i got those sweet demons, those sweet demons
oh god, oh god, oh god, oh my god, oh my god
i got no peace, no peace
no good reasons
fucked up feelings
and those sweet demons
those sweet demons
those sweet demons
those sweet demons

THE BAD BOOK
you can borrow that book of mine
drop it in bath water break the spine
fold down the corners of pages you like
keep it forever, i don't mind
don't go acting all innocent
i know the margins you've written in
and where you ripped out a page or ten
and rolled up a day to smoke or burn
when you're reading
reading from the bad book
living just how you should
oooh don't it feel good?
oooh don't it feel good?
do whatever you want
freedom don't hurt no-one
oooh don't it feel good?
oooh don't it feel good?
it's wild and it's beautiful, full of mistakes
weighed down with words that you wanted to say
baptise it in whiskey or week-old champagne
rinse it in tears or a wedding day rain
see near the end where the pages get blank
we'll fill 'em up with or without a plan
cos some things that happen we don't understand
and some secrets we hold in the palm of our hand
when we're reading
reading from the bad book
living just how we should
oooh don't it feel good?
oooh don't it feel good?
do whatever we want
freedom don't hurt no-one
oooh don't it feel good?
oooh don't it feel good?
read from the bad book
read from the bad book
then go and send it to the priest or the paper's front page
bury it deep or just throw it away
only write that you lived and you were not ashamed
then let somebody new write a new first page

Goddess

GODDESS
from dawn 'til dusk and all the darkest hours
we're revolving in this universe
from her belly came this heart of ours
we broke her body broke the waters
we are leaning out for love and
we are reaching for perfection
so we make and take our medicine
we are beautiful and broken
this is what the goddess made us
painters, labourers and sailors
we have love so we are lovers
up until the day she lays us down
look at what the goddess made us
what she made us
and we don't believe in anything
but whatever keeps us dancing
golden horns and all the thundering
of the drums that suddenly begin
this is what the goddess gave us
love and struggle, calm and chaos
from the first sound she plays us
we have music til she fades us out
look at what the goddess gave us
what she gave us
