Sonny's Burning Have you heard how Sonny's burning Like some bright erotic star? And He lights up the proceedings And raises the temperature. Flame on! Flame on! Now I've seen to Sonny's burning Someday I think I'll cut him down But it can get so cold in here And he gives off such an evil heat. Flame on! Flame on! Hail my incubatic incubator. Now pay witness to Sonny's burning Warming the damp and rotten seed Warming the damp and rotten seed That blooms into the DEMON FLOWER Now both fire and flowers consume me. Flame on! Flame on! Evil heat is running through me Flame on! Flame on! Sonny's burning pits into me Flame on! Flame on! Sonny's burning holes into me Don't interrupt! Don't interrupt! Flame on! Flame on! Wild World Hold me up baby for I may fall Hold my dish-rag body tall Our bodies melt together (we are one) Post crucifixion baby, and all undone. It's a wild world Church bells ring out the toll of our night Forward and forever backward Forever backward forever forward alright Strophe and antistrophe strophe and antistrophe Antistophe antistrophe (C'mon baby, hold me tight) Up here in your arms tonight. Don't push me Don't push me It's a wild world. Fears of Gun Gun wears his alcoholism well Finger in Bottle and swingin' it still From Bed to Sink and back again Clock is crawlin' round the same He's bustin' Clock (he hates its face) Just sittin' and talkin' to Heart and ticks Talkin' back to Clock in slow and studied kicks The fears of Gun are the fears of everyone. Fingers down the throat of love Fingers down the throat of love Fingers down the throat of love Love! Love! Gun does the waltz around the room Collecting Table and Chairs and Sofa and so on and so on Gun wears his best blue suit, now let's take to the sky 'We'll go dancin' and eatin' it up Get a bottle and push it on down' And let's just beat it up Transistor radio plays an overwhelmingly sad and lonely song Saying 'Where she gone? Where she gone?' The fears of Gun are the fears of everyone. Fingers down the throat of love Fingers down the throat of love Fingers down the throat of love Love! Love! Deep in the Woods The woods eats the woman and dumps her honey-body in the mud Her dress floats down the well and it assumes the shape of the body of a little girl Yeah I recognize that girl She stumbled in some time last loneliness But I could not stand to touch her now My one and onlyness. Deep in the woods Deep in the woods Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. Worms make their cruel design Saying D-I-E into her skin Saying DEAD into belly and DEATH into shoulder Well last night she kissed me but than DEATH was upon her. Deep in the woods Deep in the woods Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. Now the killed waits for the killer And the trees all nod their heads, they are agreed This knife feels like a knife feels like a knife that feels like it's feed. Yeah I recognize that girl I took her from rags right through to stitches (pray for me now) Oh baby, tonight we sleep in separate ditches. Deep in the woods Deep in the woods Deep in the woods a funeral is swinging. Love is for fools and all fools are lovers It's raining on my house and none of the others Love is for fools and God knows I'm still one The sidewalks are filled with love's lonely children The sidewalk regrets that we had to kill them. Vixo Ah fed Vixo on ev'ry fear 'n' fret 'n' phobia Til it nor ah could stand the strain no longer Sucked a chicken bone, tossed it in the corner Raisin up like Lazaurs, up, up from its cot An making for the door, now... Infant-prodigy creates a phantom-friend, yeag Stickin' sack an ol' Jack-Jack into its itchin-ten Oh! Don't ya linger! Ooh! Don't ya linger, now, Mah monster-piect...mah perfect-murder-machine Don't ya linger, for ah can feel mah youth slipping outa me Yeah, ah can feel mah youth slip outa me. Call it, Call it Vixo. Call it Vee. ah all it, an it comes to me. Call it Vixo. Call it me March headlong into the heart of fear Ah will follow thee. What kept ya? Whaa? What kept ya? You get trouble? Sum'n go wrong? Vixo grinning, climbs up into mah lil boy arms. What you get? Tell me, what ya gone 'n' brung me from the hollow? Yeah! We're laughin'...but our laughter is shallow Ain't it funny...my childhood name is Sorrow. Vixo sighs, 'n' lays its head upon mah pillow. Call it. Call it Vixo. Call it Vee. Call it, an it comes to me. Vee...ah...Hex...Oh-oh, come crawl with me. Into the dark heart of despair Ah will not forsake thee. Listen...Instruction! Ditch it, Pitch it. Now hitch it up along the ridge Ya laughin b'neath the Sherriff's wheels That go screamin cross Hooper Bridge Skirt the out-skirts. Up mah back-stair. Ya sack all undone. Don't touch nothin! Water runnin in the tub Get there! and scrub ev'ry one. When ya STRUCK ya STRUCK! Ya struck a thousand crickets dumb Hooper-Hollow iced over then, all hush, hush In the cool midday sun Hush! Ah say Hush! Hu-u-u-ush! Sittin on the roof, laugh at mahself As they rope off the woods Watchin' all the good-people go beating the bush.  * Prayers On Fire Lyrics (The Birthday Party) *  Transcribed by Lehn Fitzgerald...

Lyrics: 1st Verse On this European night out on the brink The cafes and the bars still stink The mist is much too thick for seeing But not thick enough for leaning I leave in a catatonic crawl And if I die tonight don't fling me in Some bleak teutonic hole Six feet under with a snap-frozen soul And really we could all just die of shame... Yeah... die of shame... Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe, la la la la la. 2nd Verse On this Utopian night on the brink Mama's face staring up at me from the bottom of the sink Witness my trail of destruction Just trying to leave this drinking place My feet are magnetized for furniture The floor's attracted to my face And if I die tonight Sell me as a prehistoric bone Authentic junk-souvenir to Jap To fob off on his friends back home The money-dance...[mumble] I find it hard to cope with days like this etc... Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe, la la la la la. [The third verse is completely undecipherable, but sounds like:] And tonight steps into my beer in my poor '61, I swear that statue's read the moons Or my planets are all wrong And if I die tonight ship my body way back home [mumble] [mumble] Pulling the drip right out of the arm Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe, la la la la la. 4th Verse On this European night on the brink Your cafes, your beer-halls and your bars still stink And if I die tonight send my body way back home And if I die tonight send my body way back home And if I die tonight send my body way back home And if I die tonight and if I die tonight... Dumb Europe Dumb Europe Dumb Europe Dumb Europe This recording is reasonably rare, and it's unlikely anyone you play the song to will have heard the original anyway, so just use the lyrics above, or the ones from King Ink, and play the song in whatever way sounds best to you ;) Have fun ;)  * Die Haut Lyrics *  All Albums Thanks to Mark Brown for most of the lyrics.

I find it hard to cope with days like this. Pass the bottle etcetera Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe. On this European night out on the brink The cafes and the bars still stink The air is much too thick for seeing But not thick enough for leaning I leave in a catatonic crawl And if I die tonight then throw me in Some bleak teutonic hole Six feet under with a snap-frozen soul And really we could all just die of shame And really we could all just die of shame Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe, Dumb Europe. Pleasure Is The Boss They're working us like dogs around here 'Cause pleasure is the boss And I'm the happiest slave alive round here 'Cause pleasure is the boss And nothing is safe that don't stand still If it's O.K. with the boss I'm gunna walk right up and take it yeah If it's O.K. with the boss Walk What's O.K. with the boss is O.K. with me What's O.K. with the boss is O.K. with me What's O.K. with the boss is O.K. with me What's O.K. with the boss is O.K. with me What's O.K. with the boss is O.K. with me What's O.K. with the boss is O.K. with me From Headless Body in Topless Bar I Just Dropped In (To See What Condition My Condition Was In) I woke up this morning the sun don't shine in I found my broken mind in a brown paper bag but then I tred on a cloud I fell eight miles high Told my mind I'm gonna ...... sky I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in I pushed my soul in a deep dark hole and I followed it in I met myself crawling out now, as I came crawling in Then I woke up so tired I knew I'd never unwind I saw so much, man it broke my mind I just dropped in to see what condition my condition was in Somebody painted April fool in big black letters on a dead end sign I had my foot on the gas when I left the road
