1. AP O C O LA DE
Most young kings get their head cut off But no king held an A Kalashnikov Romance died upon Debussys rock But Ill always love you and Ill never stop Keep me honey drifting out of sleep I dream of sweet Joanna sinking in the sea And I pray the revolutions crushed into these feet But they just dance along to the Renaissance beat Waters burning Chaos turning Caesars reign Canvas conquered Titans anchored And Hades came Thinner than the planning for Simonis Sybil The fire between thighs has now engulfed the hill And it burns me from afar but keeps itself ice chill She glides out of the beach and now the waters are still Pharaohs ride into a roman rock And legions of legendary leaders drop God sits watching from the mountain top And I wonder if Venus will awake from the shock Ill always love you and Ill never stop Waters burning Chaos turning Caesars reign Canvas conquered Titans anchored And Hades came Uccello find me Amun blind me The Ninth Wave Zeus has spoken Churchill broken Apocolade You walk in beauty like the night of cloudless climbs and starry skies And I know, I know Cause I can see God in your eyes and all thats best of dark and bright Oh, yeah So I get up out of my car, take the hose from the exhaust and play guitar Until I smile - yeah, Im there for while Ive escaped again so close, so close but Ill never let you know just how far No Ill never let you know baby This valley of divine, with you and me stood by a lemon tree From alpha to delta, through fury and pain If loves suppose to be shelter, I think Ill walk in the rain Oh, I think Ill walk in rain, oh, I think Ill walk in rain I prefer to be drenched anyway They promised so much

3. SUPERHERO IN A BALL
I can tell when youre in love / youre just an animal who feels above the laws of everything that ever was / so you go jumping off a roof because you know that I will catch you when you fall and baby I can hear you when you call Oh save me! / tie me up and all in all Im just a superhero in a ball oh baby / tie me up and all in all Im just a superhero in a ball And I can hear the bells ring / everyone can hear another lovers heart sing / maybe one day therell be a new king who rules with sunshine lighting the kingdom / And I can hear the Sleigh Bells / theyre singing out to all the sea shells / theyre singing: I can hear the bells ring / everyone can hear another lovers heart sing / and mine sings: I will catch you when you fall and baby I can hear you when you call Oh save me! / tie me up and all in all Im just a superhero in a ball oh baby / tie me up and all in all Im just a superhero in a ball So go and fall

2. LONE ROSE
She runs with hell, she destroys me with her eyes closed I want to kill her, I want to kill my lone rose So when I find her in fashions ugly trend They say the hottest love has the coldest end Ill make it her end Well it used to be a case of texting you to find out The symbol of your being or the farewells of your mind But the streets are my narcotics, the fields my only truth In this cycle of a lonely day, round and round, I think... I think I need you But I feel older than I should, and Jesus knows I cant even picture my own future anymore And I hate time - it passes faster than it should So in my mind Im just fifteen with vivid dreams and clean enthusiasm And I need love

4. CASSI
Cassi Walker is a waitress in the place where I go I know her sister cause we once put on a drumming style show Call and response yeah she knows a friend who plays the guitar I used to know her well but time and people drove us apart And you know She loves that gold And Ive been told Were all too old Micky Morris is a mountain boarder, 540 style He plays the saxophone and never fails in making me smile I met him years ago in Queenswood when we were making a den Must have adrenalin to make him want to do it again Oh guess who died today? Just another aspiring actor But he wished his life away A warning fracture Ive seen the signs Im on that page Life and times Day and age Ive seen the sights Im past that stage Life and times Day and age Day and age

Woman of a holy aura, cleanly breathes and loves my world / Oh, but I cant resist making slinky sultry love with this, a masterpiece in horny, hot and raunchy sexual worlds / Cant go on, cant go on with these lies, these racy lies Ive spun / Feed my brain with thoughts of carnal tongues and fingers, make her come / End this now you heartless beast, and regain some morality, but my golden girl is gagging now, so call her up yeah she makes three. Oh I love my pretty woman / My woman loves me / When we go to bed at night we sleep furiously So this is like my sexual showdown / Mac versus PC But I find I can use both systems simultaneously So here I am in softened light, electric racing through my head / My girl looks at new girls body, beauty hard that takes her breath / Dirty woman sees my lady staring at her naked frame / My baby looks away quick, but this fiery tiger cant be tamed / New girl stands and starts her stroking, fingers straying over skin / My gorgeous girl is fascinated, her resistance wearing thin / Mistress touches my girls lips, the older woman in control / But my girl moves like Aphrodite - starts to dirty her own soul / Zips unzip and bras discarded, beauty shines from all around / Sex explorers are the visual, heavy breathing is the sound / Busty bouncing on my mattress, full and stunning chests are these / My girls big but new girls huge, down which I have lost my keys / Golden girls compliance shocks me, no longer righteous and shy / She is in control now yeah shes getting down and riding high / Quickened breath, heart rates increasing, bodies slick so hot they burn / My girl shudders screams and comes, and touches me like, its your turn Oh I love my pretty woman / My woman loves me / When we go to bed at night we sleep furiously So this is like my sexual showdown / Mac versus PC But I find I can use both systems simultaneously Apple is of course my sacred, kind and radiant love / Windows is a clunky junkie / never gets enough Shes virus ridden / Sex drive revving / Rocks my climax world / And even when Im so in love I want this other girl Oh, love and purity is such a fickle state / Too long have people tried to suppress the urge to copulate / Oh, baby I can send you to climactic shrieks / You cant control my fish-like shoal, springing you a leak

5. THE OTHER GIRL

As I lie in thoughts of gold, period drama meets sci-fi porn / The buzz in my head matches the buzz of my phone, Dead Weather ringtone, lust on call / Girl of clean eternal love, proud and soft who touched my soul / But I get kicks from opposites and dirty rhythms take their toll / Guilty pounding in my chest envy greed and lust are wrong / But moans and screams make up her album, creamy fluids sing my song / Oh she must be made by Eros, seven hours of coming strong / Silhouettes of us pulsating, pleasure pushing all night long / Stop. Passions overflowing, cant forget my sunshine girl

7. M AKE M E SM I LE
Keep laughing, keep keep me laughing Its keeping me from crying Keep laughing, keep keep me laughing Im a lamb among the lions And the fear will not break through You are flawless light and truth And Im wasted on this youth But stay with me you make me smile Please stay here and make me smile Oh Cassi, look what they hand me Its a second away from the prize But in that second old Argentina beckoned And I felt the passion rise And the fear will not break through You are flawless light and truth And Im wasted on this youth But stay with me you make me smile Please stay here and make me smile

The crooked housed a normal man. Normal fears and beliefs, ideals and judgments. White walls, shiny floors, leather sofa, unnecessary doors. And here I stand, the everlasting sign. A haunt of jackals, a home for owls. I know of fer named Luci, and I howl like the wolf. And the mountains and the hills will burst into song, and all the trees of the field will clap their hands, and the stars in the sky will be dissolved and the heavens rolled up like a broken scroll...

9. LIGHT A FIRE
Higher and higher, show me how to light that fire You sat me down its riots, you told me about the liars, You want to tie them up with wire and take their eyes with pliers, You want to see if kings bleed blue, fuckwits right on cue You said its touch down to Che this, like gutty wuts in Vegas Kubricks films are tasteless, but fuckwits remain faceless Broken livelihoods, by broken lively hoods They took a Chelsea tractor and blew it like reactor Got to keep on burning So the sweet and tender forces, called off cushy courses, cause Looters want their town back, Watch The Throne the soundtrack Religion bore a child, but theres no church in the wild MPs up in flames, hardened like their veins, like Chris Shale died (poltroon), in Glastonbury in June You want to keep this under wraps... Another round then chaps The US was a bastard, so pigs with guns are shafted, fuck the force bull mastiffs, were taking down the last of the shit that made us ill Theyre going to burn and kill Higher and higher, show me how to light that fire

8. A BR A H AM
Caught up between killing computers That tell you dreams are sneak previews of our future And you feel empty, you feel sorry When it seems your life means nothing to nobody But you wont listen, you wont fall And you wont know a cold eternity at all So stop pretending, start relaxing Feeling our time and space collapsing So stop pretending, start relaxing Because the end of all things has started happening And you feel so old I pray for your soul And its all to much And youve lost your human touch

10. M O O N L I G H T
Lay me in my woods, set me in my ways Oh, the tide is turning, oh, the sky is burning down, down Keep you in my thoughts, winter is in the trees Mum, I feel so lonely, mum, my tears are only mine

I always feel like William in A Knights Tale I always take the hardest path Forget the drums and throw away the chain mail Face the forest, all these scars, all these scars Here we go again watching the moonlight conquer Here we go again watching a thousand monsters You say it never ends, asking for wasteland answers Youre waiting for the friends, but they ring up and cancel I was once like you

Like Austens book, 1815, Yeah Im Knightley, youre Woodhouse, see my love? Dont tell me Im bewitched Ill dream - Ive seen the trailer baby Im in love You came from heaven above Oh, this is what Ive been waiting for Tell me this is what Ive been waiting for I love a fallen goddess so save me Thor Baby this is what I have waited for Your beauty glorifies all that is good, You are a goddess here for me Im your teen vogue, your Despereaux, You are the graceful, blissful, mighty sea Crash over me

11. THOUGHTS
Frequent masturbation Too much isolation No one around to hear me out Jealous thoughts beat me down Repeated loss and rejection Im in want of any human connection There must be something wrong Im useless and scared of going out Im in a hole, I cant get out And nobody knows Nobody goes; Oh, that must be awful, dont leave, dont go. Youre needed and loved - I love you, you know. George, George, I love you, you know.

13. 17 DAYS
The years slip by like radio waves My past plays out like an old arcade Time is the fire in which we burn Its what I want most, but what I use worst Im 17, but I wont be for long And if youre 17 and youre hearing this song In 2018 In 2020 In 3013 Youll know the feeling This isnt timeless You will never be here again But I feel my life coming, driving my dreams I want to capture this moment, preserve it in reams Slow down my blood flow, look up to the sky Throw up a sun ray, then help shield my eyes And Ill keep track of white lies But I love wishing Oh yeah I love knowing that the best is the come I said theres no magic I said theres no magic that could rival this one And Im oh, so happy Yeah Im so happy that Im who I should be And the world is spinning Yeah, the world is spinning to the rhythm of me.

12. BE W I TCH E D
When I met you first you were walking through compartment doors from a platform queue and I knew Alluring lips and hazel eyes, coming soon to a cinema near you But I kept you close and loved you still while every kid in England knew of you With witches hair, electrified, I want you like the sky tonight I do You are my magical truth Oh, this is what Ive been waiting for Tell me this is what Ive been waiting for I love a fallen angel so save me Thor Baby this is what I have waited for I fantasized, I wouldnt lose the image of your ballet shoes and this song is for you, of Holmes assistant fame - clever wordplay (my middle name is John)
