Longpigs--The Sun is Often Out

 LOST MYSELF

She sold herself on the one love
The one that most of us live without
And dressed for the occasion day after day
Forgives herself when it don't come

I have always found it
Easier to dream about it
Careful of the stitches
Insisted there was more than this

But I lost myself I cannot speak
To live by myself I'm far too weak
I have lost myself I cannot sleep
To live by myself I'm far too meek

Went bold as hell for the one love
One that most of us read about
And caressed all the persuaders
Day after day
Relieves herself when it don't come

By the things your saying
It's easier to turn the blame in
Careful of the stitches
Insisted there was more than this

But I lost myself I cannot speak
To live by myself I'm far too weak
I have lost myself I cannot sleep
To live by myself I'm far too meek

She's sold again on the one love
The one that all of them scream about 
She's broke her wings on the one love 
Her heart was warm but it's burn she wants 

I have always found it
Easier to skirt around it
Careful of the stitches
Insisted there was more than this

But I lost myself I cannot speak
To live by myself I'm far too weak
I have lost myself I cannot sleep
To live by myself I'm far too meek


SHE SAID

And theres no clothes I can buy
Make me feel like myself
She said
So I put on clothes
To make me look feel like someone else
Instead

As a matter of fact I don't like to be seen 
Cause I'm not satisfied with myself She said
You better hit her
She said She said She said She said
She's dead

There no perfume I can buy
Make me smell like myself
So I put on perfume
To make me smell like someone else
In bed

And as a matter of fact
I don't like to be scented
I don't like to smell myself
She Said
You better hit her

She said, she said, she said.
She said She said
But I'm not afraid
Of being more than pretty
While your getting paid
To wind yourselves up untill you drop
Yeah..

There no one I can talk to like
I talk to myself
She said 
So I play games to make them 
Think I'm someone else 
It's inbred

As a matter of fact
I don't like to be seen 
Cause I'm not satisfied 
with myself She said 
You better hit her

I'm not afraid
Of being more than pretty
While your getting paid
To wind yourselves up untill you drop

She said, she said, she said.
She's dead, she's dead She's sad She's played
It's ingrained shes stained shes played Shes trade

I've fucked up inside my own head and what the hell I'm doing
In a place like this I know exactly why I'm here ---- me


FAR

I never had a moment anybody waits in line
But I'd kill for this feeling, then again
Seen you drenched in rubber pushing at your clothes so frightening
You made for the day you're getting out

Far, and I'm in love again
Far, cause I'm going to wear it out
Far, and I'm in love again
Far cause I know no-ones going to show you how, but I found out

I never thought to question leather in a wholesome way
Now it's burning in my brain now put it away
Dressed you in cardboard box to suit the time of day
But I never get the chance to wear it out

Far, and I'm in love again
Far, cause I'm going to wear it out
Far, and I'm in love again
Far cause I know no-ones going to show you how, but I found out

No ones going to tell you why, but I've got
Completely disgraceful, your crying a watering something

Far, and I'm in love again
Far, cause I'm going to wear it out
Far, and I'm in love again
Far cause I know no-ones going to show you how, but I found out


ON AND ON

All the songs that I've sung you
More often than you Know
You're the love that I've clung to
More often than I've let it show.

And I wish you would leave me
And I wish you would go
And I wish you didn't need me
And I wish I didn't love you so.

Cos I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm
My love for you goes on and on

Theres no-one else I want beside you
Give me your coldest shoulder to cry upon
You're never anywhere I find you
You're never anything I rely upon.

And I wish you would leave me
And I wish you would go
And I wish you didn't need me
And I wish I didn't know.
That I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm
My love for you goes on and on
No I just can't go on
So please don't do me wrong
No I won't do you harm

My love.....
goes on and on and on and on and on and on on and on and on
and on and on and on on and on and on and on and on and on
on and on and on and on and on and on. 


HAPPY AGAIN

I have got no money - I'm prostituting 
This situation is a mess 
And I get this feeling I'm turning trendy 
I can't stand the sight of my face. 

Be realistic - just think it over 
Cause I'm sure you'll make the right move 
I think its better - come from the inside 
I'm sure there is room to improve. 

And it seems kinda hard thinking like I am 
Seems like it is started again - oh no 
I better get my head between these knees 
Just as fast as I can - seems like a comfortable end 
and I wanna be happy again. 

And then your stinking bout of lies you lie in 
And the why's you need and you better believe 
Your gonna walk fast, walk thro' the middle 
Try yourself then your gonna find out 
That you've tried it all before and it don't work 
You try a little more and it all works out. 

And it seems kinda hard thinking like I am 
Seems like its started again - oh no 
I better get my head between my knees 
Just as fast as I can - seems like a comfortable end 
And I wanna be a hippy again. 

To take away the end is over turn and run to me 
Because you need a spastic taxi for the cow milk. 


ALL HYPE

And I am living 
Without the love of Jesus in my eyes 
It's easier to swallow than collde
The way above the lows and sold your highs 
[It's all hype]
When suddenly they strip it when you try 
[It's all hype]
I still don't get the joke but nevermind 
It's all hype
All hype 

But your gonna fall down 
Yeah your gonna fall down 
And your gonna be round 
And your gonna see 

that I am leaving 
The light of baby Jesus far behind
For one with history leaking from her eyes 
As always things get tense when things are taught 
Twisted and distort

But your gonna fall down 
Yeah your gonna fall down
And your gonna be round 
And your gonna see 
And on for heavens sake 
I needed you today 
And never having been 
The countrysides obscene 
I understood the part
But only only one 
You've given up the choice 
Why don't she dig my voice

And I believe in 
The biggest touted answer to the lie 
But always when it's caught you in the eyes 
Cos ussually it is that I don't mind
It's all hype 
It's all hype


SALLY DANCES

Baby 
If sometimes 
I coulda turned you on
Honey 
This time 
With your big strong hands
Baby 
Somehow 
If I could chop them off
Honey 
I'm stuck 
But you could clear me out
But I needed 
A summertime
Saw you falling 
Saw you down
Sally dances but she don't know no 
Sally prances but she don't grow no 
(she can't show me)
If 
If somehow
I could make you feel clean
In my arms If I could stop you shaking
Baby 
Till then 
I'll keep it in my hand
Cause you needed a summertime
Saw you falling Saw you down
Sally dances but she don't know no
(with your big strong hands)
Sally prances but she don't grow no
(you made me understand) 
Sally dances but she don't know no
She don't blow no no 
Baby 
One time 
If I could find the point
Honey I'm too fat 
To get up off my chair 
And I'm jealous Want to feel her ****
Give me presents And glisten 
Sally dances but she don't know no
(with your big strong hands) 
Sally dances but she don't blow no
(you make me understand) 
Sally prances but she don't grow
(I can tell the sun) 
Sally chances but she don't grow no
She don't know no no


JESUS CHRIST

Been up here 
Almost too long 
It's only fair they should start to raise the fare 
And I
Been laughing almost too hard 
You replaced my heart then I'm left to
Stitch it up
And it only goes to show you can 
Live with what you don't know and 
Every step you're ever gonna take now 
Only thing I do know 

Jesus Christ 
I'm on fire when you smile 
Jesus Christ 
I retire 

It's so easy I don't believe a word 
Love junkie gone over to the edge and he 
Been thinking if I could see you now 
I'd make you say this exists or not at all 
Would it be too much to ask 
If there's some one over there 
Who gets every joke 
And always in the same place 
Only thinking I can't face 

Jesus Christ
You give me such such hope
I need you more 
You're all I know 

Been up here almost too long
It's only plain they should start to see the stains 
And I'm sorry 
What I said before 
You realised it up then you had to bleed the cut 
And it makes an even keel of it 
All I'm gonna see from it oh it won't go 
Help me dig my own hole 
Help me dig my own hole 

Jesus Christ
You give me some hope


DOZEN WICKED WORDS

Try not to need her I'll believe her 
A look in your eye makes me satisfied 

Stare at this head lies asleep on my shoulder 
Opens your eyes as I start to cry 
A larger part the need to be burnt 
Justify this excellent girl 
One dozen wicked words to find 
I know well start again sometimes 

Peace with my stomach the sky is incide her 
Open the window to let her breath 
Patch up the scars with some cardboard and kharma 
Trust this is far beyond what I need 
Turn around to eat for I will 
Blind myself to joyfully kill 
These dozen wicked words to find 
I know well start again sometimes 

But I'm starting to fall 
This is starting to break 
Me down 

Turn around to eat for I will 
Blind myself to joyfully kill 
These dozen wicked words to find 
I know we'll start again sometime 
A larger part the need to be burnt 
Justify this excellent girl 
One dozen wicked words to find 
I know we'll start again sometime 
One dozen wicked words to find 
I know we'll start again sometime 


ELVIS

Crawled out of the park to eat her to a
Stairwell would I fall to please her
Just to tear this out of my belly forever
Cause I'm still hooked to the light forever
I can do it if your there 
I could screw it when your there 
Bless them with the arrogant brandos
Leave your heart stisched in a hundred pieces
If it's not wet then you shouldon't be doing it
She's no bitch she's far too rich 
And I can do it when she's there 
And It's only when your there 

All these amazing frustrations 
Such a perfect celebration 
Hardly needs to be said
Oh these amazing sensations 
Are as perfect as masturbation
Hardly need to be sad
All these are nailed as frustration
Such a perfect celebration 
Hardly needs to be soiled

You wash yourself You wash yourself 
And I wash yourself You wash yourself

End up in a young hair 
Curled round with a finger 
I can't excuse this 
It's all fucked
But I can do if I'm there 
I can screw it when she's here 
I can rule the world six times over
With my head burned out 
And my body on hold 
I can do it if your there 
And it's only when she's there

Oh these amazing frustrations 
Such a perfect celebration 
Hardly need to be sad
All these are made in frustrations
Such a perfect penetration 
Hardly need to be sad
Oh these amazing sensations
Such a virgin celebration 
Never needs to be soiled

But you wash yourself 
You wash yourself
I wash myself 
You wash yourself
The whole world joins the french foreign legion 
Get a new suit for the man who discovered Elvis 
Was so fat when he died and ascend to heaven 
I live here in my watered down disney baby 
With yen million attic clad genius 

Abort me cause I have to compete 
And maybe one man will eventually fuck on mars 
Save us 
I can do it when she's there 
I can do it when she's there 
And it's only when she's there 
Yes it's only when she's there 
You can screw it when she's there 
You can screw it when she's there 

All these amazing frustrations 
Such a perfect celebration 
Hardly needs to be said
Oh these amazing frastrstion 
Just as perfect as masturbation
Hardly need to be sad
Oh these are made in frustastion
You're a virgin celebration 
Hardly bleeds to be dead
All these amazing sensations
Just a perfect celebration
Only need to be bed
All these amazing sensations 
Such a perfect celebration 
Hardly needs to be said


OVER OUR BODIES

Nobody matters and this is depressing me 
I know a strange one could change all of this 
But they two were lovers they
Carry each other and 
No one on earth could explain
She's found another 
Some fool she claims who will love her
So come on and rain 
Take this and fall 
Over our bodies 
Come on and rain 

I count my losses 
Cause all stars are horses and 
How such a weak friend could soften her heart 
But they two are lovers they carry each other
And no one earth could complain
She's found another 
Some fool she claims who will love her 

So come on and rain 
Take this and fall 
Over our bodies 
Come on and rain 
Come on and rain
Come on and rain 
Take this and fall 
Over our bodies 
Come on and rain 
Come on and rain
I shot myself down 
I shot myself up
It tears me apart 
She laps it all up
Glass bird on her finger
We'd eaten it all 
It's all done with mirrors
It's all done before 
And good comes from everything
Bob Dylan's a Christian 
It's so wet and stretchy 
For him not for me now 
So give her her love
Carry her up 
Paint her with flowers
Fill her with fluff 
Hope you make her shine 
Hope she shines for you 
Where I failed myself 
If he loves you more
