In the words of Julie Andrews, lyrics are undoubtedly one of my "Favourite things". As for me it has often been the case that when the dog bites and the bee stings, and when I'm feeling sad. I simply write lyrics and sing little songs and then I don't feel so bad.

The lyrics for all of our songs can be found below - I hope they please you x

Kill or Cure

Alice Rock Kill or Cure

2010

We are still in the process or recording this album. More songs will be appearing here as and when they are released.

Yesterday's Makeup

Alice Rock Yesterday's Makeup

2007

This album tells a the true story of an emotional journey that followed what was a pretty awful (yet clearly necessary!!) break-up… starting with despair and sympathy, the songs humorously travel through madness and realisation yet eventually end with recovery and strength. It was certainly an emotional one to write but also somewhat easy as the sheer ridiculousness of the situation provided wonderful amounts of material!! The album contains several reworks from Finding Wonderland as I felt it necessary to represent certain songs with the introduction of Tabby and what has become our very own unique two piece set-up. In the songs that have been reused, there are actually some subtle and deliberate differences in the lyrics - have fun trying to spot and interpret them :-)

Finding Wonderland

Alice Rock Finding Wonderland

2006

Other than the few songs I wrote as an unsuspecting teenager, the songs on this album are the first I ever wrote. They were written almost in real time as I took life one day at a time, trying to get through and understand one of the craziest periods of my life. Even the most ridiculous songs on here are spun from truth, each and every word was a cathartic crutch that propped me up and somehow lead me to this lovely place I am now able to call Wonderland. Despite the obvious anger, I’m incredibly proud of these words - I hope you enjoy them :-)

2. Chips 'n Gravy

Ding dong bell
It's Alice down the well
But how did she get in
Did she fall or did she swim?

My Cold War state has made my heart go shy

Ding dong bell, there's a pussy down the well
But I'm terrified of him
Too afraid to let him in

I might seem cold but my heart it's quite benign
So come close to me and put your hand in mine
Please quit your telepathy my dear
And put me out of my misery

Could you set me free
I'm in purgatory
You are my destiny
You put the world at my feet
All I wanna do with you
Is eat chips 'n gravy now

Ding dong bell
It's Alice down the well
But now that she is in
Will she sink or will she swim?

Remain this coy, you will never get your boy

Ding dong bell
There's a pussy down the well
But once my cover's blown
The seeds can't be unsown

Oh, I've come so close yet still I fall apart
So come close to me and give me your heart
Please quit your telepathy my dear
And put me out of my misery

Could you set me free
I'm in purgatory
You are my destiny
You put the world at my feet
All I wanna do with you
Is eat chips 'n gravy
Now
Yeah yeah
Oh, oh no

Could you set me free
I'm in purgatory
You are my destiny
You put the world at my feet
All I wanna do with you, you, you

Could you set me free
I'm in purgatory
You are my destiny
You put the world at my feet
All I wanna do with you
Is eat chips 'n gravy
Now

4. Cut Loose

My little one
My little one

Although I never met you
I know I'll never forget you
Because you changed our lives in a matter of seconds
Before we decided to send you to heaven

I thought I was strong
But I'm as weak as they come
In this plastic world
Made of material goals
I felt I had to get on
I felt I had to get on

Is a mortgage so essential
That it justifies removing that potential
Enslaved by society
With lists and priority
Scared of my limit so I ran to the clinic

I thought I was strong
But I'm as weak as they come
In this plastic world
Made of material goals
I felt I had to get on
I felt I had to get on

I thought I wasn't in the gang
With the fast machines and the touch screens
But I made that choice to never hear your voice
I made the decision to have the incision

You were cut loose from me
To make it easy for me
To make my money grow and my ambitions flow
I faced the persecution for your execution

You were cut loose from me
And it was agony for me
I try to stop my sadness turning into madness
By getting on, I have got to get on

You were cut loose from me
But I will never quite be free
Oh how I wish I was strong and didn't want to get on
I wish we were happy with just you

My little one
My little one

5. Monopoly

I've got a life
And I can prove it to you on my social networking site
If you're not on it
Then you're socially slipping behind

Oh, I feel fantastic
Brimming with confidence
Living my life behind plastic
And an image from 13 years ago yeah

So will you be friends with me?
Come and join my online monopoly
Even better, could you manipulate me please?

'Coz I am stuck in my monopoly
It took my social skills from me
And I've forgotten how to pass go

And I am stuck in my monopoly
I'm half the man I used to be
I'm stuck at Old Kent Road

I need you now to fill up my page
Become another number, another face in front of my old flames
Come on
Give me five seconds of fame because...

I need a reason to exist
So won't you put me at the top of your list
And even better come on
Make me your online deity yeah

So will you be friends with me?
Come and join my online monopoly
Even better, could you manipulate me please?

'Coz I am stuck in my monopoly
It took my social skills from me
And I've forgotten how to pass go

And I am stuck in my monopoly
I'm half the man I used to be
I'm stuck at Old Kent Road

Oh
Old Kent Road
No Marylebone
I can’t pass go

My Father who art in Heaven
Come and give me my daily bread at 11
'Coz I need a supplement I can't get online
Vitamin D, replacement for sunshine

I've forgotten the light of day
Because one foot in front of the other
Feels a million miles away
So the dot com's gotta stay yeah

So will you be friends with me?
I'm begging you to join my monopoly
Even better, could you manipulate me please?

'Coz I am stuck in my monopoly
It took my social skills from me
And I've forgotten how to pass go

And I am stuck in my monopoly
I'm half the man I used to be
I'm stuck at Old Kent Road

Oh
Old Kent Road
No Marylebone
I can’t pass go

8. Robotic Perfection

I don't like my nose, wana scrape if off my face
I don't like my toes, they aint giving me enough grace

I don't like my chest, I don't like the way it's shaped
I don't like my tongue, I don't like the way that it tastes

I need to fit the latest craze
They will do anything these days

So the makeup goes on
And the person she's gone, gone, gone
And the robotic race of perfection
It goes marching on

It takes me half an hour to put my makeup on each day
It costs me three hundred pounds to make my eyes look at you in this way
But it's worth it

Oh it's what we need to be, it's what they tell us on TV
And if needs be, I will sell my possessions on Ebay

Because I've got to look this way
I will do anything to pay

So the makeup goes on
And the person she's gone, gone, gone
And the robotic race of perfection
It goes marching on

Won't you wash your powdered nose
And remove all those ridiculous clothes
Because deep down there's a person
That people might like to know

But the makeup goes on
And the person she's gone, gone, gone
And the robotic race of perfection
It goes marching on

And her makeup goes on
And the person she's gone, gone, gone
And the robotic race of perfection
She goes marching on
She goes marching on
She goes marching on

9. Old Fashioned Girl

Hello Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy I presume?
I'll throw my iPod away and hear your pianoforte
I hear you sew a fine seam and that you both know how to dance
Your mind isn't dependent upon supplements

The deskilling of the human race
It is happening at quite an astonishing rate
A power cut will soon come and seal our fate
As we artificially inseminate

I'm an old fashioned girl
And I don't understand this modern world
As men turn to ladies and we purchase our babies
Have we gone too far?
Have we gone too far?
Where do we's draw the line?

Hello William Wallace and Mary Queen of Scots
She's probably got head lice but she still looks hot!
Tess of the D'urbervilles, I saw her plough the fields
She made her own entertainment understanding abstainment
Her handwriting it's beautiful, sociability unequivocal
Do I love thy neighbour? C'mon do me a favour

A breakdown in communication
It's the latest epidemic to control the nation
Supposedly empowered by automation
C'mon don't be scared, resist temptation

I'm an old fashioned girl
And I don't understand this modern world
As men turn to ladies and we purchase our babies
Have we gone too far?
Have we gone too far?
Where do you draw the line?

Pass me the butter please
I don't eat margarine
Semi skimmed it's just a plain blaspheme
Genetically modify, continuously sterilise
You know it's sad if you've got the time

I'm an old fashioned girl
And I don't understand this world
I'm an old fashioned girl
And I don't understand
I don't understand
I don't understand this world
So won't you help me!

I'm an old fashioned girl
And I don't understand this modern world
As men turn to ladies and we purchase our babies
Have we gone too far?
Have we gone too far?
Where do you draw the line?
Line, Line

10. The Breeding Lady

It's time for me to house a baby
'Coz I’ve been summoned
To go and see the breeding lady

I gotta go to the lab full of Petri dishes
Where she is gonna tell me its vital statistics

It's time for my insemination
We don’t naturally reproduce
'Coz they’ve removed temptation

Oh natural reproduction it's forbidden
'Coz the planet it’s full, it's overridden

But I remember
My Mother taught me how to thread a needle
She spoke of washing the cutlery
Savoring each and every memory

She said she didn’t know she was lucky
You, you're still lucky
She said she didn’t know she was lucky
And that you
You are lucky

So that's that
I've been inseminated
There's no concept of family
We don't know who's related

But there's no webbed feet or Siamese twins
Or weird personalities to ever complicate things

It's time for me to give the baby
You know it doesn't belong to me
It belongs to the breeding lady

But I don't feel sad, don't understand obsession
'Coz I've been subdued to aid progression

But I remember
My Mother taught me how to thread a needle
She spoke of washing the cutlery
Savoring each and every memory

She said she didn't know she was lucky
You, you're still lucky
She said she didn't know she was lucky
And that you
You are lucky
You are lucky
You are lucky now

No chips and no gravy
Just regurgitated old lady
No chips and no gravy
Will someone come and save me

Because I want to learn to replicate
But I don't know how to fornicate

Are we human or are we fake?
I just hope we’re not too late

Yesterday's Makeup

1. Gestapo Lady

I never lied
I always tried
To help you through your misery
Call me old-fashioned
Call me a freak
You know I thought this was the way
Love was meant to be
You drove me crazy
With your Gestapo lady
At the first sign of trouble
You'd just jump into her bubble
Well I'm not gunna die
And you can't bring me down
You've invited me to grimace
Invited me to frown
Well I'm not lying on a bed of stone
So you fucked me up
But I've regrown
Sit back and watch me smile...
I was never gonna die for you

2. Kisses

Do you ever think of me
Or do you live in a fairy tale
That's nothing like reality?
Do you ever wake up in the rain
With your head in pain?
Do you ever even feel sad?

A little piece of heaven
It's worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight

So you fell into my future
And you crawled under my skin
You demanded
That we became entwined
But then you crawled out the back door
And you stole everything
You know you've even stolen my mind
I have lost my mind

A little piece of heaven
Is worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight, yeah

Punish me with your kisses
Tonight, yeah
Punish me with your kisses
Tonight, tonight, tonight

A little piece of heaven
It's worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight
Tonight, tonight

A little piece of heaven it's worth all the pain

3. Medicinal Lemonade

I caught him looking in the mirror
He said he didn't like what he saw
So he turned away
He couldn't face his shame
He lied, he told me that he was okay
I caught him dwelling on the past
This seemed to happen more and more
Until in the end he'd forgotten our future
He was stuck in the past behind a locked door

So he'd drink his medicinal lemonade
He'd destroy his own mind like a razor blade
He'd try to cut the thoughts from his brain
In vain
He was never quite the same

Well I always picked him up
I always made him smile
Till he disappeared to 'cyberland'
Never to return...
Well, baby you're still running
You're running scared from the burden
Of another's pain
So, stand still
Face the truth
Think of only you and what you're losing
Drop your barriers and stop your retreat
'Coz I'm here baby and I'm still smiling for you

So come on let's quit that medicinal lemonade
We could have cut those thoughts together
With a razor blade
You know you and me?
We were better than the Solpadeine

But now...
You've started running
You'll always have to hide

And now that you've started
Hiding from me
You'll be eaten alive
By your parasitic memories

'Coz you've started running
You'll always have to hide

And now that you've
Started hiding from me
You'll be eaten alive by your
Parasitic memories of me

Is she living in a bin?
Well she went on the Internet
She wrecked everything, everything
But is she real? Is she real?

5. Kissing in a Campervan

I got a penthouse suite
It doesn't mean anything to me
I tried a luxury cruise ship
But it never felt quite right at sea
Suddenly I shiver as the sun creeps
In a crack between the curtains
And then I see you quiver
As I realise that you are not quite certain
Well I don't mind you trying something new
'Coz you won't find owt better than

Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Sex in a campervan... with me!

So you went further afield to see
Is the grass really greener, well is it?
You traded in your dream car
For what seems to me
An unsuitable beamer!
Well she looks fast
And she looks sleek
But does she have a
Place to make your dinner?
I think you know
I think I know that I am
The only real winner here
Well I don't mind you trying something new
But you won't find owt better than

Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Sex in a campervan, with me

And you, and me, yeah...
Do you remember the time?
It was electrifying!
Which way do I go?
You say you're turning your screws
But is this really certain
Am I speaking to the real you?

I don't mind you trying something new
But you won't find owt better than

Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Sex in a campervan, with me!

6. Mail Order Bride

You live in 'Strawberry Fields' where nothing is real
How can you sleep in your virtual reality?
How can you feel when your life is on a memory chip?

There's no need to speak 'coz everything is visual
No need to touch because there's nothing physical
No need for anything, you're having an ego trip

I said, how do you know
She isn't Latino mustachio?
I said, how do you know
That the boat race was ever
Really won by her?

When she is mail order
Probably young enough to be your daughter
You should be careful what you're buying on the Internet
You're never quite sure what you're going to get
She'll whip you down the aisle then jump into a photo booth

She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
You know she's only trying
To get you inside
She's a mail order bride

So you start with CDs and then progress to DVDs
Everything's so easy
Could you download me a family please?
The ultimate purchase though a piece of femininity

It's all in a checkbox, a sea of opportunity
You can choose anything
Her height, her weight, her family tree!
The only problem being
She won't make the honeymoon suite

I said, how do you know
She isn't Latino mustachio?
I said, how do you know
That the boat race was ever really won by her?

When she is mail order
Probably young enough to be your daughter
You should be careful what you're buying on the Internet
You know you're never quite sure what you're going to get
She'll whip you down the aisle
Then jump into a photo booth

She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
You know she's only trying to get you inside, no
She's a mail order bride

How do you know
That you have really been speaking to her?

How do you know
That you have really been listening to her?

I said, how do you know
Well, how do you know anything? How? How?

When she's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
She's only trying to get you inside, no
She's a mail order bride

7. Rockstar'z Chick

You're not a rockstar
You're not a rockstar
You're not a rockstar

You know you didn't even know my name
Until we'd played the same game, twice
That was not nice
You said that you could turn my screws
But then you turned your back on me
Like this was the last time

I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
Why do you always think you're in control?
I said no-oh-oh, n-n-n-n-no
I'm never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl

There you go again
Turn your back on me
You think you're such a rockstar
Man, you're a wannabe!
Look at you laughing
You think you've got everything
My dear I find you very amusing

I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
Why do you always think you're in control?
I said no-oh-oh, n-n-n-n-no
I'm never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl

I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego and a dream

Hello, hello, what a surprise
I can see the fear of failure in your eyes
You said you'd got everything
But now you've got nothing
Listen up baby
And you'll hear me laughing

I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
I always knew that you would lose it
No oh-oh, N-n-n-n-no
I was never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl

I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego and a dream

8. Mr and Mrs

Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Is this your final lot in your life?
Do me a favour, won't you sell me your soft spots?
How do you stop that suicide rot?

Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Or is this your lot?
You've got your 2.4 but no number ten
Is this the final straw?
The Robertsons are dying on their floor
There's nowhere left to hide!

Bring on the suicide...

Cough, cough baby did I hear a little sneeze?
It must be a major cancerous disease
Well they don't go out and they won't let you in but
I looked through the letter box
I caught 'em smiling

Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Or is this your lot?
You've got your 2.4 but no number ten
Is this the final straw?
The Robertsons are dying on their floor
There's nowhere left to hide!

Bring on the suicide...

You're like the Aryan race
You're the perfect disgrace
Lying on your death bed it's the comfiest place

So lie on your back
A Kamikaze hypochondriac
It won't be long before you're dying of boredom
Dying of boredom there

Mr and Mrs do you like what you've got?
Or is this your lot?
You've got your 2.4 and no number ten

Is this the final straw?
The Robertsons are dying on their floor
There's nowhere left to hide!

Bring on the suicide...

9. Bird in a Cage

I'm so glad
I've left your fantasy
A life dependant
On some unachievable dream
I was the fool that followed
Too slow to cotton on
I was blind like Eva Braun
You could do no wrong

Why did you keep me
Like a bird in a cage?
You should have known
You couldn't lock me up at that age
I'm a fledgling
Can't you see I wanna fly?
I'm too young to die!

My red carpet
Was your propagation place
Naïvely rolled out
By my adolescent taste
Conditioned by a one-man cult
I thought I needed no-one else
My mind was infiltrated
I didn't know myself

Why did you keep me
Like a bird in a cage?
You should have known
You couldn't lock me up at that age
I'm a fledgling
Can't you see I wanna fly?
I was too young to die!

I can't believe I played your game
I entertained your thoughts
And then drove myself insane
Sucked in by your crocodile tears
So stupid I carried your fears
I'm so glad I've let go

Well now at last
I feel so far removed
It's all so obvious
I see your each your every move...
But I feel free, whereas you
You're stuck in your guilt
Because of me
Well get used to it baby 'coz
I've thrown away your key!

Why did you keep me
Like a bird in a cage?
You should have known
You couldn't lock me up at that age
I'm a fledgling
Can't you see I wanna fly?
I was too young to die!

10. I Call the Tune

I used to wanna walk with you
I used to wanna make
All your dreams come true
But now I try to move away
With endless dates
I'd better draft one in for the weekend
A new pair of eyes
Some temporary flattery
Time for me to recharge
My sexual battery
But then a good friend said to me
Alice, you're so fucking naïve
Life isn't just for Adam & Eve
It's time to cultivate
You're responsible for your destiny...

You've gotta find you
It's time for you to call your tune
You've gotta find you

So I make a new mix tape for my car
I laugh with my friends
After burning all your second-rate poetry
(A John Lennon wannabee)
'Two branches of one tree'
Become nothing
But a dark, distant memory
I've honoured you for way too long
My brother's right
My thoughts don't belong to you
And nor does my song
So here's a promise, this is the last one

You're yesterday's news
It's time for me to call my tune
You're yesterday's news

11. Wonderland

I am alone
An independent creature
I feel scared
It's like I've just been born
I can't run
'Coz there's nowhere for me to hide
I can't cry
'Coz there's no one to hear
I mustn't falter
Stay focused on the graven image
Never look back
With a selective memory
I've got to...

Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream
Full of beautiful creatures
Gotta drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass
With nothing to consider
Gotta take me back to Wonderland

All the new faces
And endless systematic changes
Prevent my thoughts
From belonging to you
Last night's dreams
They were full of inspiration
I saw the sun was setting
It was setting on you
Today at dawn
I woke up with a smile
I saw the sun was rising
It was rising on me
I've got to

Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream
Full of beautiful creatures
Gotta drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass
With nothing to consider
Gotta take me back to Wonderland

And I will see you there
As I drift on by
As I remember our sunshine...
We've a permanent legacy
Chiselled on stone
But now it's time to move on
I'm moving
Moving, moving on
I've got to...

Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream
Full of beautiful creatures
Gotta drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass
With nothing to consider
Gotta take me back to Wonderland

Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I have gone

12. Runway

If you'd meant nothing
It wouldn't be so hard
If you'd been normal
Then you wouldn't think
It was cool to be sad
You said you want the end
But you don't want it
You tried to keep me in line
You tried to keep me in toe
Well you know there's problems
If your hero is a Nazi
You've made your bed
Now it's time to wake up

Because this is the end
The final part has been played
This is the end
I've felt our love fade
This is the end, the end
This is the end for you
This is the end for you

But I will always shine
And I will always remain
'Coz I am on the runway smiling
As I watch you fade away
I will always shine
And I will always remain
I can feel you breaking your
Heart on mine with regret
But I'm on the runway now
Living my dreams

So I'm good for a few things, huh?
Like sex, money and rock and roll
You're so self-righteous
Full of indecision
So many dreams
But you've got no vision
In your virtual world
With your virtual mind
And your virtual friend
You chose to let inside
This is pathetic fallacy
I see no personality
You've made your bed
Now it's time to wake up

Because this is the end
The final part has been played
This is the end
I've felt our love fade
This is the end, the end
This is the end for you
This is the end for you
But I will always shine
And I will always remain
'Coz I am on the runway smiling
As I watch you fade away
I will always shine
And I will always remain
I can feel you breaking your heart on
Mine with regret
But I'm on the runway now
Living my...

I will be flying, yeah
You will be crying... give a fuck!
I will be flying, living my...
Whilst you
You'll be crying, dying, wishing
That you hadn't screwed me over

I will always shine
And I will always remain
'Coz I am on the runway smiling
As I watch you fade
I will always shine
And I will always remain
I can feel you breaking your
Heart on mine with regret
But I'm on the runway now
Living my dreams

I'm on the runway living my dreams
I'm on the runway living my dreams
I'm on the runway now
And I can't wait to see
What my life brings :)

Finding Wonderland

1. Goodbye Alice

Alice take my hand
Let me take you to Wonderland
Away from all the people
That just don't understand me
Let me take you away
I want to take you away

Alice follow me
Let me make you part of my fantasy
Oh, you're nice and young
This is going to be easy
I want to make you like me
I want to make you like me
I want to make you like me
Think like me
Feel misunderstood like me
I want to make you like... me
But it didn't work
It didn't work...
So goodbye Alice!
Goodbye Alice
Alice goodbye

2. Stolen Mind

The lines grew across his face
The eyes they filled with horror and self distaste
Oh no, I've seen these signs before

Hello old friend, I've seen you before
Hello old friend, you know you're nothing new to me
I think I understand you
(I'm not scared)

It was the carpet of Russians
It was the field full of Germans
That have stolen your mind from you

It was the Nepalese army
It was a wishing doctor, she drove herself crazy
And it made you want to be free

Yesterday your world was happy
You were a positive creature, you were radiating dreams
I think you radiated me

Nothing has changed but the dreams fall apart
Nothing has changed but our world it slips away
I'm trying to look for the good
Look for the good
I'm trying...

It was the carpet of Russians
It was the field full of Germans
That have stolen your mind from you

It was the Nepalese army
It was a wishing doctor, she drove herself crazy
And it made you want to be free

So I said...
I don't think so
I don't think so
No no no
It's not time for you to be alone
I don't think so
I don't think so
No no no
I'm not giving in...

One day up, the next day down
But you won't take the rocket fuel
You say it makes you act like a clown

So are you good, or are you bad?
Are you pretty, or are you ugly?
I'm trying to look for the good
Look for the good
I'm trying
I'm still trying

It was the carpet of Russians
It was the field full of Germans
That have stolen your mind from you

It was the Nepalese army
It was a wishing doctor, she drove herself crazy
And it made you want to be free

So I said...
I don't think so
I don't think so
No no no
It's not time for you to be alone
I don't think so
I don't think so
No no no
I'm not giving in...

It was the stolen mind
That made you think you were a Nazi
In the Nepalese army!
It was the stolen mind
That made you think you were a Nazi
In the Nepalese army

3. Medicinal Lemonade

I caught him looking in the mirror
He said he didn't like what he saw
So he turned away
He couldn't face the shame
So he lied
And told me that he was okay

I caught him dwelling on the past
This seemed to happen more and more
Until, in the end
He'd forgotten our future
He was stuck in the past
Behind a locked door

So he'd drink his medicinal lemonade
He'd destroy his own mind
Like a razor blade
He'd try to cut
The thoughts from his brain
And then, he was never quite the same

I always picked him up
I always made him smile
Till he disappeared to 'cyberland'
Never to return...
Well, baby you're still running
You're running scared from the burden
of another's pain

So, stand still
Face the truth
Think of only you
And what you're losing
Drop your barriers
And stop your retreat
'Coz I'm here baby
And I'm still smiling for you

So come on let's quit that medicinal lemonade
We could cut these thoughts together
With a razor blade
You know you and me?
We could still be

But if...
You keep on running
You'll always have to hide
And if you keep on hiding from me
You'll be eaten alive
By your parasitic memories

If you keep on running
You'll always have to hide
And if you keep on hiding from me
You'll be eaten alive
By your parasitic memories of me

4. Gestapo Lady

I never lied
I always tried
To help you through your misery

Call me old-fashioned
Call me a freak
You know I thought this was the way
Love was meant to be

You drove me crazy
With your Gestapo Lady!
At the first sign of trouble
You'd just jump into her bubble

Well I'm not gunna die
You can't bring me down
You've invited me to grimace
Invited me to frown

Well I'm not lying on a bed of stone
So you fucked me up, but I've regrown
Sit back and watch me smile...
I was never gunna die for you!

5. Kisses

Do you ever think of me
Or do you live in a fairy tale
That's nothing like reality?

Do you ever wake up in the rain
with your head in pain?
Do you ever even feel sad?

A little piece of heaven
Is worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight

So you fell into my future
And you crawled under my skin
You demanded
That we became entwined

But then you crawled out the back door
And you stole everything
You know you've even stolen my mind
I have lost my mind

A little piece of heaven
Is worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight

Punish me with your kisses
Tonight, yeah

Punish me with your kisses
Tonight, tonight, tonight

A little piece of heaven
Is worth all the pain
A little piece of heaven
Yeah, it puts me back together again
So won't you punish me with your kisses?
Put me back in heaven just for tonight

A little piece of heaven
Is worth all the pain

7. Because She is Shit

She wants to be a prostitute
Lives in an institute
She feeds off happy pills
And manipulative cyber-thrills

She's got no brains
At the bottom of her barrel
With her teenage scowl
She can't crack a smile

But it doesn't seem to matter
He doesn't seem to care?!
He wants to be a nutter
With an audience who care

I know this sounds quite crazy
But I think I understand
Blame the mummy, blame the daddy
I can read his mind

Oh no
Because she is shit
You feel good
Because she is a lunatic
You don't feel so misunderstood
Because she isn't pretty
You look into the mirror and
You feel attractive
Someone call the nurse
Someone call the doctor
Someone rescue this man
Before he fades away

Always treated like dirt
Got a lack of self worth
I was on the pedestal
And he was treated like a fool

Always second best
Scared of ten of the best
You useless good-for-nothing
Daddy knows best!

So he finds a little lamb
She makes him number one
She isn't very pretty
But enough to make him cum

I know this sounds quite crazy
But I think I understand
Blame the mummy, blame the daddy
I can read this man

Oh no
Because she is shit
You feel good
Because she is a lunatic
You don't feel so misunderstood
Because she isn't pretty
You look into the mirror and
You feel attractive
Someone call a nurse
Someone call a doctor
Someone rescue this man
Before he fades away

Before he fades away
Before he fades away

8. Mail Order Bride

You live in 'Strawberry Fields'
Where nothing is real
How can you sleep in your virtual reality?
How can you feel
When your life is on a memory chip?

There's no need to speak
'Coz everything is visual
No need to touch
Because there's nothing physical
No need for anything
You're having an ego trip

I said
How do you know
She isn't Latino mustachio?
I said, how do you know
That the boat race was ever
really won by her?

When she is mail order
Probably young enough to be your daughter
You should be careful what you're buying
on the Internet
You're never quite sure what you're going to get
She'll whip you down the aisle
Then jump into a photo booth

She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
You know she's only trying to get you inside
She's a mail order bride

So you start with CDs
And then progress to DVDs
Everything's so easy, could you download
me a family please?
The ultimate purchase though
A piece of femininity

It's all in a checkbox
A sea of opportunity
You can choose anything
Her height, her weight, her family tree!
The only problem being
She won't make the honeymoon suite

I said
How do you know
She isn't Latino mustachio?
I said, how do you know
That the boat race was ever
really won by her?

When she is mail order
Probably young enough to be your daughter
You should be careful what you're buying on the internet
You're never quite sure what you're going to get
She'll whip you down the aisle
Then jump into a photo booth

She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
You know she's only trying to get you inside no
She's a mail order bride

How do you know
That you have really been speaking to her?
How do you know
That you have really been listening to her?
I said how do you know
Well, how do you know anything?
How? How?

She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
She's only trying to get you inside no
She's a mail order bride
And she's gunna take you for a ride
You know she's only trying to get you inside

9. Kissing in a Campervan

I've got a penthouse suite
It doesn't mean anything to me
I tried a luxury cruise ship
But it never felt quite right at sea

Suddenly I shiver as the sun creeps in a
Crack between the curtains
And then I see you shiver as I realise that
You are not quite certain

And I don't mind you trying something new
But you won't find owt better than

Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
SEX in a campervan...
WITH ME!

So you went further afield to see
Is the grass really greener?!
Well is it?
You traded in your dream car for what
Seems to me an unsuitable beamer!
Well she looks fast and she looks sleek
But does she have a place to make your dinner?
I think you know, I think I know
That I am the only real winner

And I don't mind you trying something new
But you won't find owt better than

Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
SEX in a campervan...

With me...
And you...
And me, yeah...
Do you remember the time?
It was electrifying!

Which way do I go?
You say you're turning your screws!

But is this really certain
Am I speaking to the real you?
And I don't mind you trying something new
But you won't find owt better than

Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
Kissing in a campervan
There's really nothing better
Copulation in a campervan
There's really nothing better than
SEX in a campervan...
WITH ME!

10. Rockstar'z Chick

You know you didn't even know my name
And so we played the same game, twice!
That was not nice!
You said that we would turn our screws
But then you turned your back on me
Like this was the last time

I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
Why do you always think you're in control?
I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
I'm never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl

There you go again
Turn your back on me
You think you're such a rockstar
Man, you're a wannabe
Look at you laughing, you think you've got everything
My dear I find you very amusing

I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
Why do you always think you're in control?
I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
I'm never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl

I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego and a dream

Hello, hello, what a surprise
I can see the fear of failure in your eyes
You said you'd got everything
But now you've got nothing
Listen up baby and you'll hear me laughing

I said no-oh-oh, no-oh-oh
I always knew that you would lose it!

No-oh-oh
No, no, no!
I'm never gunna be a rockstar'z little girl

I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego and a dream

I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego...

I'm never gunna wait back for a rockstar
Never gunna make babies with a rockstar
Never gunna waste time with a rockstar
Second-best to his ego and a dream

11. Final Solution

Well the years flew by like a lullaby
Living in ecstasy
We were drinking hallucinogenic tea
My love was a flower
My life flew by like a ladybird shower

He said he'd be a rockstar
He promised me poetry
But life kicked in
He couldn't stand the monotony
So he escaped to a place where life wasn't so hard
He could masquerade and live a façade

But the rockstar'z dead
And the poet's gone to prison
He can't get out of cyberland
She won't give him permission
He gets out his pesticide
She grabs her cyanide

Oh baby!, he said to me
What am I to do?
I said DON'T YOU DARE...

Come running to me, yeah
I'm not your final solution
Or some concrete constitution
I've not been waiting for some fallen angel

She's a female resurrection of Joseph Goebbels
And her propaganda's not washing with me!

Well life in your box, I bet it started off easy
You didn't have to face all the horrid bits of reality
'Coz I was still there
To bring you tea
And you pretended to care

But the bubble has burst
She's dependent on your masquerade
Her claws dug deep
With promises of a mercy killing

But this suicide butterfly
She's never gunna die
'Coz he won't use his pesticide
And she'll never say goodbye

But the rockstar'z dead
And the poet's gone to prison
He can't get out of cyberland

She won't give him permission
He gets out his pesticide
She grabs her cyanide

Oh baby!, he said to me
What am I to do?
I said DON'T YOU DARE...

Come running to me, yeah
I'm not your final solution
Or some concrete constitution
I've not been waiting for some fallen angel

She's a female resurrection of Joseph Goebbels
And her propaganda's not washing with me!

He reaches for his pesticide
But she just grabs her cyanide
Oh, he grabs his pesticide
But it's not working
It won't work

So baby!, he said to me
What am I to do?
I said DON'T YOU DARE...

Come running to me, yeah
I'm not your final solution
Or some concrete constitution
I've not been waiting

She's a female resurrection of Joseph Goebbels
And her propaganda's not washing with me!

Oh, why don't you grab your pesticide
And pour some cyanide
And baby...
Why don't you toast the morning sun?

12. Wonderland

I am alone, an independent creature
I feel scared, it's like I've just been born
I can't run, 'coz there's nowhere for me to hide
I can't cry, 'coz there's no one to hear
I mustn't falter; stay focused on the graven image
Never look back with a selective memory

I've got to...
Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream full of beautiful creatures
Drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass with nothing to consider
Take me back to Wonderland

All the new faces and endless systematic changes
Prevent my thoughts from belonging to you
Last night's dreams, they were full of inspiration
I saw the sun was setting, it was setting on you
Today at dawn, I woke up with a smile
I saw the sun was rising; it was rising on me

I've got to
Take me back to Wonderland
I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream full of beautiful creatures
Drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass with nothing to consider
Take me back to Wonderland

And I will see you there
As I drift on by
As I remember our sunshine...
We've a permanent legacy
Chiselled on stone
But now it's time to move on
I'm moving, I'm moving, moving on

I've got to...
Take me back to Wonderland

I've got to paint me a picture
Of a never-ending dream
full of beautiful creatures
Drown me in a mirror
A rose-tinted looking glass
with nothing to consider
Take me back to Wonderland

Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I am going to Wonderland
Goodbye, I have gone
Oh, for now...
