Ruined Solitude

i'd like to thank you for releasing me
for filling me with such a love
inspiring me to behave unselfishly
i'd like to thank you just for needing me
you've made me useful now on your behalf
and calmed my insecurity
please cling to me, behave possessively
display quite clearly that you're desperate for me
only then will you defy my insecurity
i'd like to thank you for convincing me
i'm not as hideous as i had thought
possessing no deformity
i'd like to thank you for soothing me
helping me relax and feel secure
free from past anxiety
please cling to me, behave possessively
display quite clearly that you're desperate for me
only then will you defy my insecurity

Unwell and Unstable
04:10
|

parade before me please the most attractive women
in the world | and let me see that their beauty's
merely something quite absurd | try and persuade
me that for their great looks and charm i should fall
watch as i laugh and move to you, turning my back
upon them all
my insides feel unwell and unstable
yet when i hold you, they right themselves
a mysterious chemical process
no longer do i have a type of female beauty i prefer
no size or face or eyes or hair colour to which i
would defer | no other female face will ever make me
turn my head again | for it is you i love, why should
i wish you looked more like them?
my insides feel unwell and unstable...
what value is there in a face when it's the human
that we love? - your soul i love
i love your nose because behind that nose is the mind
i love - your mind i love
the pin up queen of whom men dream and gladly would
desert their entire life for - desert their wife for
she might beckon to me and smile irresistibly but i'd
not like her - cos you're not like her, and it's you i love

A Quiet Death
05:57
|

|
i love you more than i love life
but is that just because i hate this life
love you more than i love myself
but is that just because i hate myself
what romance can their be in hardship?
how sweet is misery and gentle death?
can't let my past contaminate my present
can't let my careless present ruin our future

I Loathe Myself
05:20
|
|||
|
because i loathe myself, i can't
believe that others don't
i'm pleased when others have
their faults exposed before me
i need to hear that i'm superior
and why - i love to hear them
criticised
and so i won't accept your high
regard for me | till you insult
and downgrade my friends to me
if you confide in a less than
favourable way | i'll feel secure
and not dismayed

Ugly Industry
08:00
|
|||
|
and now the revolution's past it surely can be seen
just what a dangerous failure man's technology has been
a sad and stubborn farce of ruthless inefficiency
machine utopia lost to mankind's ugly industry
how proud man's been
so sure that his intelligence would transform the world scene
into a paradise of leisure
that freed from labour by machines, we then could treasure
higher thought and liberty
and yet he's caught fast in his own ingenuity
in this system he's contrived
where work and stress and contest eat people's lives
and they do not realise
how inefficient, time consuming and unwise
man's way of doing things has been
with filth from all his factories poisoning earth's green
industry it was assumed would heal and not despoil
man could be provided for without wasting life in toil
but if one man with just his labour can feed so many men
where's the time we've saved ourselves with civilisation then?
and so much time it takes
for a man to feed his family on the wage he makes
and so his children he neglects
from cherishing his wife to business he defects
so what then is his gain?
can all his luxuries make him less aware iof pain?
no, but it's too late
society and media made his mind stagnate
and thus with all our pains
banality in life has softened mankind's brains
so industry is vile
our minds have not been freed and earth has been defiled

Female Chauvinism
06:00
|
|||
|
i hate to think of men who leer at pornography
who deny the unique value found in female company
desert their wives and girlfriends for an evening with the boys
treating ugly girls like slaves and pretty girls like toys
agree with you that man has made a mockery of love
despised and tortured womankind for centuries and more
ignored their tender feelings, their sensitivity
beaten them and bullied them with masculinity
so yes like you i see the need for changes to made
i see the reasons for your anti-male crusade
but when you're preaching hate of men,
you give your cause the lie
and alienate the men who could have been your best allies
agree with you man is not aware of what he lacks
the qualities he can't possess, found in the fairer sex
he feels no plan of his will ever need female consent
unaware of just how much he needs her complement
it seems enlightened women have a vital part to play
in recognising all abuses that have come their way
refusing to tolerate man's egocentric mind
identifying bigotries that must be left behind
so yes i see the gulf between the sexes must be closed
and thus you stand condemned for the hostility you show
you're nurturing the hatred between man and womankind
displaying the short-sightedness that you claim to despise

Cool
04:45
|
|||
|
befriend someone who's cool and they'll bully you mentally
convince you that the silences are your responsibility
punish you for boring him with sheer effort of will
his self-esteem riding on the fear that he instils
there is tension between humans - we are all so insecure
some fear that to mention it will make it all the more
plenty for a brutal, clever, frightened man to use
lots of fear in weaker ones for him to abuse
so when you're out together, how to cool ones behave?
do they show nobility as the weakeer ones they save?
or do they prey upon the nervousness, aloofly sit at ease
their coldness and their poise making you writhe
and seek to please
there is tension between humans - we are all so insecure
some fear that to mention it will make it all the more
plenty for a brutal, clever, frightened man to use
lots of fear in weaker ones for him to abuse
