BILLY BONES 03:20
Thin and long He was a ticking bomb Gutter Mouth Bred in the deepest South Billy Bones As he was always known Was a horror of a human being Hand grenades Rockets and razor blades Fifty tins Of nitro glycerin Billy Bones Spent all his time alone Lost in pyrotechnic dreams Billy Bones What an awful creature (Billy Bones...) He's so full of sin Billy Bones Better get the preacher 'Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Breaking news Billy has blown his fuse Out of hell Into a padded cell Billy Bones Was throwing sticks and stones When the doctors came to take him in (naughty boy...) Billy bones What an awful creature He's so full of sin Billy Bones Better get the preacher Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Billy Bones What an awful creature He's so full of sin Billy Bones Better get the preacher Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things Cause when the sun goes down Billy does evil things (What an awful creature) Billy Bones (Better get the preacher) Billy Bones (What an awful creature) Billy Bones

There was a girl who once made a wish For cable tv and a satellite dish So she could see every show While all of her friends played out in the sun She stayed at home watching re-runs Of places she'd never go On a teen dream movie screen Everything she could have been Was staring back at her From her favourite scene Teen dream movie screen Everything she could have been Every day she sat mesmerised Till she fell asleep and closed her square eyes The remote controlled her mind If only she'd listened to what Mummy said Don't sit too close or you'll ruin your head She wouldn't be lost in time On a teen dream movie screen Everything she could have been Was staring back at her From her favourite scene Teen dream movie screen Everything she could have been Caught up in an endless transmission Not sure of what's fact or what's fiction Somewhere in the static she's trying to break out Teen dream movie screen Everything she could have been She saw it on a teen dream movie screen She saw it on a teen dream movie screen She saw it on a teen dream movie screen On a teen dream movie screen Teen dream movie Teen dream movie screen (repeat to fade)

MAYDAY 03:53
I love you 24/7 Raw candy to the naked eye Who'd think one glimpse of heaven Could make me wanna die? You're vicious as a viper Articulate and filthy rich You're a precision sniper And your hits never miss You're like the midnight movie Playing over in my mind I know you see straight through me I stare at you till I go blind One kiss could blow my system Mayday Mayday I'm going down I'm going down You're worth the world on paper You sparkle like a diamond rock Fashion exterminator It's lonely at the top I want you at my function I'll treat you like a VIP Turn off at any junction All roads lead to me You're like the midnight movie Playing over in my mind I know you see straight through me I stare at you till I go blind One kiss could blow my system Mayday Mayday I'm going down I'm going down I'm falling Constantly falling over (I'm going down) Crash landing When I am standing Next to her (I'm going down) I'm stalling Constantly falling over (Constantly falling over) I love you 27/7 Raw candy to the naked eye Who'd think one glimpse of heaven Could make me wanna die? You're like the midnight movie Playing over in my mind I know you see straight through me I stare at you till I go blind One kiss could blow my system Mayday Mayday I'm going down... Mayday Mayday I'm going down... Mayday Mayday I'm going down I'm going down

(Goodbye sun, goodbye moon I'm coming to where you are soon Take a picture, make a wish I've never felt as sure as this) I've got a fetish, love is pathetic And the world's about to end. I'm up in the attic, With Dad's automatic And a note writ on my hand. I've got sisters and brothers Same as my mother Won't get off my case In the papers tomorrow They'll fake all their sorrow Then they'll leave me here to waste Rest me in pieces now, and cauterize your love for me (your love, your love) Rest me in pieces now, and vaporize my history (my history) Now take another stab at my heart. I'm feeling sorry, nobody wants me I'm gonna eat some steel Adrenaline's peakin' Logic is tweakin' Life's never felt so real I'm so sick of Al Qaeda They're entertainers Playin' on people's fear So I'm fucking the system I'm not a victim I'm getting out of here Rest me in pieces now, and cauterize your love for me (your love, your love) Rest me in pieces now, and vaporize my history (my history) Now take another stab at my heart. Take another stab at my heart Take another stab at my heart Now fight for my body Fight for my body Rest me in pieces now, and cauterize your love for me (your love, your love) Rest me in pieces now, and vaporize my history (my history) Now take another stab at my heart.

Boys and girls Please take your seats It's nearly time for us to start the show Shut your eyes Please close them tightly No peeking allowed until we go Look at you You're all alone A silver screen And nothing else at all Vacant faces Stare back at you Waiting for your Final curtain call Boys and girls You've seen enough The man inside the screen is getting tired Use your eyes Just like we told you Couldn't you have seen he almost cried...cried Look at you You're all alone A silver screen And nothing else at all Vacant faces Stare back at you Waiting for your Final curtain call Boys and girls Please take your seats It's nearly time for us to start the show
