The B-sides
I finally decided to do the lyrics for the b-sides. They are all
here with the exception of 'wasteland' and the unreleased tracks
played on the John Peel Sessions.
As always, I would appreciate any help. If you reckon any of the
lyrics/spelling/grammar are wrong, then do not hesitate to let me
know.
Many Thanks to Steve Handforth for his help with filling in the
blanks which are virtually non-existent now

The Playground
She thought filling holes in the woodwork
Doing time in the agent
She was found running around naked
She was found by policemen
Chorus:
She was found
In the playground
Swinging on Swings
Sitting on a see-saw [1st time only]
[x2]
She worked, She worked in Tescos
Doing nights on the weekend
She was found runnning around naked
She was foundby policemen, yeah
[Chorus x2]

Faded Black
It's best to speak your mind
Or be another kind
Inside of where it hurts
Inside of where it flirts
It matters if you're gay
If you're on a different day
It matters if you're high
If you're on a different sky
Sieze the day
Kill yourself
Either way
You lose yourself [x2]
[Repeat whole thing so far]
I know what you're thinking of me
But only if you could see me now
I know that you'd change your way
God you're such a stupid freak, freaky cow
I know what you're thinking of me
But only if you could see me now
I know you'd change your way
See me fly, See me die, See me curl up into a ball [x4]

Fruit Whore
And now the show the show is over
And all the dolls have fallen down
She split herself into two
And given her half to you
Who ate all the Cupcakes [x2]
But I didn't eat them all
Who ate all the Cupcakes [x2]
And how is this to be taken
The sum of all of all our love
And now we have left each other
Unlike the parting of two doves
Who ate all the Cupcakes [x2]
But I didn't eat them all
Say all the lights have all gone out
And we'll never see again
And the failures have no doubt
And we'll see the boys again
In the silence and the shade
In the pouring rain
[Repeat last verse]

Wake Up
Emily tries
To open her eyes
Then walks to see
Takes the wrath for me
Wake Up [x4]
Men walked all day
One hill was too steep
So then he turned left
and then he is safe
Wake Up [x4]

Goodbye
I met a king who became a friend
Lived in a castle in the sky of hopes and stars
I used to try when he broke his many crowns
Goodbye
I met a bird who disguised himself
Deemed so absurd he did change the way I loked at things
I used to cry when he had to fly and fly
Goodbye
Daaa daa daa daa ........
I met a girl who did love herself
Changing everyday as she wore away her enemies
I used to cry when she found out when and why
Goodbye
I knew a man who was paranoid
Living on his own he did never see the world again
I used to cry when he wasn't satisfied
Goodbye
Daaa daa daa daa ........

The Trip
Even though I'm well inside
Ailments always rules my mind
I've got honey in my mouth
And a lot to shout about
I'm Alive ...... [x2]
I would walk on the sun
I would jump when I were done
I would fly throught the sea
Only if you thought I could [x2]
I am swimming through the grass
All the green is made of glass
Both my hands are made of mud
I feel bad but I'm in love
I'm alive ....... [x2]
I would walk on the sun
I would jump when I were done
I would travel ten years or more
Have a kid and marry a whore
I would fly throught the sea
Only if you thought I could

Stargazer
You don't understand
That I don't know where I am
I don't know where I am
Almost everyday
Maybe on a wednesday [x2]
Chorus:
I can lie
On my hill
Watch the sky
Taste and still
Well I can scream!!
Going to take the moon
But I need it for my room
I need it for my room
They're going to kill the clouds
I wanna be on my cloud [x2]
[Chorus x2]

Wondering Why
Do you wonder why
Do you satisfy
Do you suffer pain
Do you know who to blame
Do you always disguise
Do you never deprive
Do you rape and kill
Drink the blood you spill
Don't sail away, I'm in love everyday
I would die for you .......
Like I'm destined to
I would die for you
[Strange Mumblings]
Do you wonder why
Do you satisfy
Do you fantasize
Do you live with lies
Do you keep your friends
Do you follow trends
Do you hate the way
The way I never complain
Like I'm destined to I would die for you [x3]
Like I'm destined to [x8]

Cut Wide Open
You're the wizard Man
I/You find that out
Take it in your hands
You work it out
You're so noisy
In this breeze
You can tear my fat black heart out [x2]
I don't suppose you would
Consider coming home
Lying on your back
Feeling something's wrong
Feeling Insecure
Time is so unsure
Found I'm paranoid
[Repeat verse 1]

Leaf Shadows
I'm outside right now
I'm wanting to shout out
Deep in the maze, I am dazed by this maze
I am only human to them
I am made so wrong, only my legs are strong
I have a pain in my heart, it is so far apart,
from my mind Who is on my side
I'm the one who always used to be scared
The one who never came prepared
The one who bled his eyes
I'm the one who always used to be scared
The one who never came prepared
The one who bled his eyes out every night out
I have fallen down,
my wings are broken now
What can i do i am stuck in this mood
I can do no more than think
Help me again my good friend
It will happen again will it friend
Save me from hell and save me from heaven,
Heaven is for man
I'm the one who always used to be scared
The one who never came prepared
The one who bled his eyes out every night out

Spooky Fruit
Girl, you're fucking with my mind
You're fucking with the kind of mind
That sets me mystified
light high
I really can't stay so long
I feel so uncomfortable here

Say, you really think i'm good
you really think i'm good as i should be could be
Lay, lay lady lay lay lady lay
come with me and we shall play dangerous games
chorus:
I can't stay so lonely
You can't stay so lonely
Everyone's so fucking lonely
It scares me
Don't you send me down downstairs
It scares me
Girl, you're messing with my mind
You're messing with the kind of mind
That sets me mystified
light high
hey, hey I really think I stayed too long
I feel so uncomfortable here
dear....
Say, you really think i'm good
you really think i'm good as i should be could be
Lay, lay lady lay lay lady lay
come with me and we shall play dangerous games
[chorus]
Don't you send me down downstairs
It scares me (x2)

Spirit of Ectomorph
Come on girl, come on girl
Pull his eyes out
She's a whore, She's a whore
But only small time
You can tell, you can tell
She's bulemic
She's a man, she's a man
She's a manic
I need you to take my hand and tell me I'm sweet
He's always clucking at me - makes me sick
Chorus:
He's an ectomorphic boy he is partial to his toys
He's an ectomorphic boy he is
[Repeat whole but chorus twice]
