Mondo Weird
In magnificent eastman colour for your delectation
This freakshow Mondo Weird
See a man with no head and a bearded lady
Give birth to rat pfink a boo boo babies
Looking like a roadkill, feel your body shake
In the dance and scream of animal steam
Let the air between your ears vibrate
This freakshow will follow you
Be one of us, bad dreams come true
This freakshow will follow you
The boys are back with something quite unnatural
Mondo Weird
See mutant embracing such horrifying couplings
In the freakshow Mondo Weird
See torture twins wrapped within reptilian skins
What horrors lie behind the curtain
Take me where eyes are burning
Where Mondo Weird is showing
Faster bastard gurning
On thrills that go and go
Building Boxes
My adhesive kiss that lingers, in the grip of sticky fingers
Open up your foaming mouth wide
Scream girls if you want to go faster
Ride the hot dog rollercoaster
We’re off on Mondo holiday, so don’t go away
Hitting the high life this means of escape
Let’s get glue sniffers Evostick blisters
The changing stigmata that cling to your face
Let’s get glue sniffers Evostick blisters
Reality is interference
Six miles high it makes no difference
Loved up in the high rise
Imaginary entertainments
One way out from social containments
You’re one up if you’re still alive
So don’t go and die
Write your cause on concrete walls
Scratch your name on car park doors
They’ll be there for eternity Kevin and half of Lorraine
These reminders of my former glories, of love above and beyond
My name is a stain on the pavement of shame
Friday nights are all the same
Building boxes, living in a bubble
Smash this town and play in the rubble
Let’s get vague
Felch
Oh doctor, can you make me any better
I’ve tried the cold showers but my dreams are getting wetter
She’s a crinoline scream from a saucy magazine
But I’m 48 and she’s barely 16
She’s a friend of my only daughter
I tried it on once but I know I shouldn’t ought to
My wife thinks it’s obscene
That’s why she’s leaving me
She went back to her mother
Can you help me with a remedy?
Care in the community
Can’t you give lust immunity?
The only advice that I can give
Try celibacy and anadin
Oh Christ, I’ve tried to forget her
But the pills won’t cure her tight little sweater
The merest thought of her makes it difficult to dance
If I wasn’t so old I’d take the chance
I watch her house, quiet like a mouse
My friends have disappeared
Her neighbours think I’m weird
But I’d do anything just to have her near
Style Police
We can appear as blue rinsed Rudolph Hess’s
We’re pinheads with claws
Cool prophets hidden message
We call ourselves the Style Police
And the guilty should be scared
Ten years for a duffle coat and life for yellow flares
You look like a monster
Do you look like a monster?
Then make a statement to the officer
I wasn’t there It wasn’t me
There’s no day release
When you get a little visit from the Style Police
If your clothes show Rodney King
Or a Ronnie Biggs in dresses
Or rubbed your hands with glee when the pack-a-mac was invented
We have a little cell for you
Where the food is dog shit scented
Our Alcatraz with fashion mags
Your cell mate's miss demented
The verdict is in
It’s execution at dawn
For you fashion whore
Don’t mess with the Style SS
Vogue Vigilantes
Don’t mess with the Style SS
Singles and Doubles
Singles and Doubles
Trick or treat
What do you want now, you’re out of reach?
I was a bullet with your name on, fired the wrong way
Your call of pathos on the eve of war
I was dead on the outbreak
True love’s insecurities
I’m still in my slow head jealousy
If that’s all wishful thinking
That must be it for me
I’ve got all I want this time
I don’t need you
Now that I’m clean
No longer weak
I’ll fall and rise
And I’ll survive the highs and lows
And the times that go in-between
Singles and doubles
Tight as a fist
Throw molotov cocktails with a slick haemorrhage
Semi naked on aggravation
Over exposure and deprivation
I’m out there in empty space
I used to sit not stand on your face
Leftovers, so disfigured
Your stick of love, but it’s not gonna beat me
Twisted
Aspire to be the news of the world
Across the sea the rest will unfurl
Headstrong and cursed
Desperate and perverse
I never meant to look backwards
If I go too far
Work the state of the art
Never disguise the fact
We all need someone to blame
Never disguise the fact
We all play at twisted games
Where were you when the smokescreen dispersed?
Fulfill all my dreams, I’m over the worst
I’m expecting the backlash
You never let me down
Don’t call us, we’ll call back
You can never disguise the fact
We all need someone to blame
Never disguise the fact
We all play at twisted games
Are you gonna go?
Are you gonna stay?
Let’s not play twisted games
I need someone to play in my twisted games
Strange Days
Pin-ups, soap operas, natural disasters, religion, murder, greed
This planet of martyred masochistic sadists on trial by MTV
Immaculate virgins or various lovers before senility
My spider sense of battle of the bands
No one ever leaves we all get the chance
In the world of strange
Penance for voyeurs, porno for fighters, your bullies playground
bait
Losing your marbles, losing your cherry with a schooltime mechanical date
Beatings and weddings and having your say
And knowing when to eat your cake
In poseur pants and skippy dance
No one ever leaves we all get the chance
In the world of strange
So don’t go out, stay home, take care
‘Cos things are quite deranged
So hide your head under the bedclothes
‘Cos strange days are here again
Wages, employers, medics and lawyers
The queen’s speech on St Nicholas day, hooray
Another birthday, try not to panic by drinking cheap cider on the beach
Weirdos round corners are getting hangovers by writing sad poetry
Bugs of romance, I’m in trance
No one ever leaves we all get the chance
In the world of strange
You’re not alone in your doubt
So grab your coat, you’re going out
It’s your national service as you should know
Drinking too much and throwing up in the road
Everywhere I look, we’re living in the strangest way
Things are getting strange
Outrageous, Outlawed, Outspoken
She had lovers, but never in the daylight
I was nothing until it came to showtime
She had guilty switch on from head to toe
The rough one can’t help you with your bed sores
You don’t think of that, babe, when you score
I’ve gone super nova, just craving for overload
I was nothing when she was...
Outrageous, Outlawed, Outspoken
Rough trade on cheap promotion
All she wanted was complete devotion
Outrageous, Outlawed, Outspoken
She suffered for 15 chromosomes
She had Tenants in her bag of bones
She was missing the link, man, I should have known
Gradually she made for the waisters
She was forbidden limelights some lust in strobe
Just do it
Don’t waste your self control
I was nothing when she was...
Outrageous, Outlawed, Outspoken
Don’t dare get in her way
Outspoken, Outlawed, Outrageous
She needs a god, not a lonely failure
To love me hot
To love me cold
I need something hot
Forget me not
There’s too many out there
I need something to hit the spot
Scum
Hey man, it won’t bother me
If we kick scum all over the street
Heavyweights run paradise
Scum fight for cleaner country
And they’re released on Britain’s streets
And they compete on Britain’s streets
Scum rights forever
. It won’t happen to me
If everyone says get this scum off the streets
Swastika for sale, you’re not safe from scum
Scum, scum
You’re safe if you belong
Aunty Crystal Thieves
Aunty Crystal’s party time
Her solid daughter serves the wine
Vegetables and lumps of meat
Our dinner guests and you’re the sweet
Rolling thunder thick as thieves
Pressed in the gutter like fallen leaves
We only went along for the rhythm of the high
We were called by the wings of Orion
Aunty Crystal runs the show
What she does gets up your nose
My red eyed complicity
Willpower deserting me
No-one gets out
No leaves
Mondo Bizarro
Aunty Crystal Thieves
No-one passes out
No-one sneezes
Mondo Bizarro
Aunty Crystal Thieves
Whiskey a go-go
There is a nature show
At the whiskey a go-go
There is a girl I know
All the colours of the rainbow
I watch her freaking out
She climbs the starlet ladder
We need your drug ‘cos
It’s the only one we love
When I’m with you I’m all alone
The lights are on but no one’s home
Starring in your twilight zone
Chasing
Are you a friend or enemy
Now I hate you like you hate me
In every word "a mystery"
Chasing desire
Chasing
My baby doll
How could we be so stupid?
Life’s getting tough
Well, we could always lose it
Let’s ride those lines
When planet earth is calling
We need your drug ‘cos
It’s the only one we love
You need something every night
To get yourself, feeling all right
Did you buy yourself
That other gram, Man?
I took it all alone on a boring Sunday
I’m having trouble all day Monday
Now I think I’ve forgotten who I am
Demonica Beatnik
Demonica Beatnik go with the spider
His jokes make me angry
The bitter saliva
You were the best then
Press Vain and Dali
But you were just nowhere to go
You’re moving on
Medicinal creep
You’re moving on and it’s easy to see
You leave a space surrounding me
(I only see what I want to)
Demonica Beatnik go with the spider
See if I care
If you end up inside her
Chainmail suspender
Substance survivor
You damaged your sanctity glow
