the circus

© Asbo Slipz 2024

Roll up! Come on, take a seat

Nobody bites, we're all friends here

Time to suspend disbelief

You will see wonderous things here

Bring out the weirdos and freaks

Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals

Bring on the liars and thieves

Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and


Nothing is quite as it seems

Painted on smiles are the stuff of dreams

Under this peeling facade

Currents run deep and are hard to keep in check

We need the smell of the band

We heed the crack of the whip hand

These are the games that we play

Join the circus today


Welcome along to the show

All that we seek is attention

Ladies are painted and take to the stage they will

Give you their all if you show them affection

We are just marionettes

Watch as we dance to the sound in a trance

Bring on the liars and thieves

Pulling on heart strings and stealing the spotlight and


Styling it out as they scream

Into the void with a surrogate band

Hiding the cracks with a smile

This is illusion, a sleight of hand

We need to feel something real

We need the taste of the greasepaint

These are the games that we play

Join the circus today


Making it up as we go

Reeling around with the drunkards

Feeding the demons below

Walking on eggshells and ducking the punches

Bring out the weirdo's and freaks

Bang on the drums, beat the cymbals

Bring on the liars and thieves

Come on and join in the circus

Nothing is quite as it seems

Come on and join in the circus


smile

I watch you walking by, the colour of your

Eyes, they mesmerize and fascinate me

Somewhere in my head, I think of us in

Bed and wonder what it would be like to

Wake up next to you and fill you up with goo

So I decide to grasp that nettle

I offer you a drink, I ask you what you think

You tell me that I'm not your type well

You can't blame me for trying, we're all slowly

Dying, in this life


We're just here for a while all you can do is

Smile


Then I meet a girl, the centre of my

World, and soon we have a wedding party

So we settle down and push some babies out 

Sat beneath a mountain of debt

Things are going great, but while I'm working late

She's got her mind on other matters

Until I see the truth, turns out that the

Devil will find work for idle hands to do

So goodbye, whateva, nothing lasts

Forever, in this life


We're just here for a while all you can do is

Smile


We all live and learn, experience is 

Earned, sometimes it comes from bitter lessons

Analyse your faults, work out where you went

Wrong, and try not to repeat the same mis-

Takes, wake up and realise, got to try and do what's

Right, in this life


We're just here for a while all we can do is

Smile

You're just here for a while all you can do is

Smile

I'm just here for a while all I can do is

Smile

Pigs, I'm talking bout pigs I'm thinking bout

Pigs, I'm loving those (oinky woinky with a curly tail), I'm talking bout


Pigs, I'm thinking bout pigs, I'm loving those

Pigs, (oinky woinky with a curly tail) I'm thinking bout


Pigs, I'm thinking bout pigs, I'm dreaming of

Pigs, I'm loving that (oinky woinky) oinky woinky (with a curly) & a curly tail


Pigs, Pigs

Pigs, (oinky woinky) oinky, oinky (with a curly tail) oinky woinky now


(Pigs, Pigs

I'm feeling your energy

You're moving and shaking me

Delicious uncertainty

The ground shifts beneath my feet now


And I cannot run away

I cannot escape your sway

I go weak at the knees when I look at your face

And everything drops into place and I'm


Falling, your little eathquakes


Knock me down and they spin me around, I'm

Falling, your little eathquakes

Scare me to death but they make me feel I'm alive


And once it begins to hit

There's no way of stopping it

Just try to hold on, it won't last long

And then you are gone again

(Na-ma-zu)

(Na-ma-zu)

(Na-ma-zu) I go weak at the knees when I look at your face

(Na-ma-zu) And everything starts to vibrate and I'm


Falling, your little eathquakes

Knock me down and they spin me around, I'm

Falling, your little eathquakes

Scare me to death but they make me feel I'm alive


And I cannot fight against

Forces of nature, defy the creator

I go weak at the knees when I look at your face

And everything starts to go crazy I'm


(Na-ma-zu) Falling, your little eathquakes

(Na-ma-zu) Knock me down and they spin me around, I'm

(Na-ma-zu) Falling, your little eathquakes

(Na-ma-zu) Scare me to death but they make me feel I'm alive


(Na-ma-zu)

(Na-ma-zu)


got the itch

© Asbo Slipz 2024

There's something missing, something isn't quite right

I've got a feeling, eating me from inside out

Try to be good and focus on the straight line

But I keep hearing voices in my head that say

Yeah, why not? You only live once

Why not enjoy yourself? Fuck it!


Mind over matter, I just need to stay straight

It's not so easy, I can't seem to concentrate 

So I fall when I

Hear you call to me


Wish I could fight it, wish that I was stronger but

You cannot run from what's inside your head you just

Have to go with the

Flow of this liquid, I self medicate to

Lubricate, my mental state


I know it's stupid, know that I should get a life

Just keep it coming, pop the cork another time

One for the road then two or three for luck I keep

Getting fucked up, but sometimes you have to

Lose yourself if you

Aim for redemption then first you must ask for

The trouble that comes from the bottom of a glass


Mind over matter, I just need to stay straight

It's not so easy, I can't seem to concentrate 

Wish I could fight it, wish that I was stronger but

You cannot run from what's inside your head you just

Have to go with the

Flow of this liquid, I self medicate


Got the itch

I got it bad, you know I want it

Watch me twitch

Can't turn you down, I've got to have it

Got the itch

I got it bad, you know I want it

Watch me twitch

Can't turn you down, I've got to have it


ragazzo so low

© Asbo Slipz 2018

A Starman came travelling

Stayed for a while

Gave us his stories

Gave us his smile

I still hang on his words

As he shines in the universe

Will the Saviour Machines

Keep him safe in his oddity?


All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo


So Ashes to Ashes

I'm Low but not down

The Width Of A Circle

The tears of a clown

There's a Black Star in view

All The Madmen are missing you

And they dance in the street

Scary Monsters and Super Creeps


All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo


I pull on a finger

And then cigarette

I'm listening for life signs

For spiders and suffragettes

Diamond Dogs on patrol

As they chase Lady Grinning Soul

And the Jean Genie's here

Recollecting her Golden Years


All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo


Well nothing much Changes

We're frozen in Time

We're walking through Quicksand

We're Rock 'n' Roll Suicides

Lay the real thing on me

You Cracked Actor's and Pretty Things

It Ain't Easy you see

We've got Five Years for dying in


All the young dudes are old

But they still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo


We go Up The Hill Backwards

But this is no game

We're looking for Heroes

We're shooting for Fame

So the Kooks take a bow

They're all up and romancing now

Starman waits in the night

If I sparkle he'll land tonight


Now this young dude is old, 

And I still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo


Now this young dude is old, 

And I still sing your songs, Ragazzo Solo


i lose my mind

© Asbo Slipz 2024

When I think of the times we

Shared, well I can't help wondering

When you told me you really

Cared, how did you keep your face straight?

And it's too late to turn back the

Clock, I don't want to think about it

Now, you made your choice and you left me - 

Shock horror - I don't want to talk about it

Now, but when I see you around these

Streets, with your new love in tow I

Freak, I lose my mind, I lose my


Mind, I lose my mind


When I think of the lies you 

Told, well I can't help getting mad

Empty words just to get your

Way, how can you live with yourself

Now? I guess somehow I just blank the

Pain, I try hard not to think about it

Now, you move on and you-do-it-all-a-

Gain, I don't want to talk about it

Now, but if I happen to see your

Face, I turn my back on you just in case

I lose my mind, I lose my mind

I lose my mind


Baby baby, you have to learn

One of these days well you're gonna get burnt

Baby baby, your time will come

One of these days you're gonna be heart-broken

Baby baby, you have to learn

One of these days well you're gonna be spurned

Baby baby, your time will come

One of these days you'll have your chest ripped open


If you keep treating love like dirt

Karma's gonna come and it will hurt

If you keep breaking people's hearts

Karma's gonna bite you on the arse

And I cannot wait to see the day

It comes to you and you have to pay

I hope you find, you lose your mind

You lose your mind, you lose your mind

Take a deep dive way out into space

Join the hive mind and slot into place

Be original or just be like the rest

And don't worry, there isn't a test it's a matter of


Personal choice, you can do what the hell makes your

Voice, sing, don't worry about a thing


Take the high ground, don’t get your feet wet you can

Super abound if you're down with the threat or be

Risk averse, there are worse ways to live your life

Some go for safety first, some bet their shirts, it's their


Personal choice, it's a matter of balance you

Weigh up the costs and you make your decision yeah


Place your bet, cut the deck, flip the card and see

What comes next

Place your bet, cut the deck, flip the card and see

What comes next


Take a deep breath, and pray for some luck you are

Going home rich or you're going home feeling like

Fate is so fickle, the cards stacked against you, could

Do with a miracle anytime soon it's your


Personal choice, if you don't take the risk then you'll

Never know whether you might have escaped from the

Prison you live in, the safety of certainty


Place your bet, cut the deck, flip the card and see

untermensch

© Asbo Slipz 2020

Sunrise, morning kissing the sky like a

Blood red warning out of the East we are

Homeless, moving out of the West to a

New place, hoping we can find rest we are


Subhuman we are

Untermensch on this

Creaking train on this

Endless journey


Show some humanity, show some humanity


Freezing wind, fingers chilled to the bone nothing

Left to lose, stripped of all that we are we are


Untermensch at our

Journey's end as the 

Train comes in to the

Final station


Open the door and a wave of humanity

Spills to the floor in a state of insanity



Einsatz Gruppen tell us to get into

Lines, men and children split from their sisters and

Wives, screaming chaos, as they march us through the

Gates of Hades they shave us, take our belongings we're


Subhuman we are 

Untermensch we can

Smell the stench of the

Rotting corpses


Welcome to Hell you have now left humanity


And then they strip us standing naked in the cold for hours

Sonderkommando leading us into communal showers

We need to purify you but we know that somethings' missing

They lock the door, we smell a rat, the Zyklon B starts hissing


Subhuman I can't

Understand how a

Single man can

Unleash such inhumanity


They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch

They are the untermensch 

They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch

They are the untermensch 

They are the untermensch, they are the untermensch

They are the untermensch 


human animals (blues mix)

So here we are again

Another genocide

You call it what you like, for Shoah, but for me

I can't help thinking this is yet another death camp


Some people call it ethnic cleansing


So here we are again

You call them human animals

You call them what you like, for Shoah, but for me

I can't help thinking that we've heard it all before, who were the Untermensch?


The subhumans


There is no greater good, there is

Nothing you can say to defend your actions

There is no greater good, there is

Nothing you can say to defend your actions


How can killing 13,000 kids be right on any planet?


This time it's different

This time the world can see it all


This time you can't control the flow of the shitshow footage

All you can do is try to suppress the narrative


Bury it in the dust of Gaza


There is no greater good, there is

Nothing you can say to defend your actions

There is no greater good, there is

Nothing you can say to defend your actions


There is no greater good, there is

Nothing you can say to defend your actions

There is no greater good, there is

Nothing you can say to defend your actions


They are the untermensch (they're human animals)

We need to find a solution (they're human animals)

The final solution (they're human animals)

They are the untermensch, they're human animals

There you go, to the

Dark place - I'll try to be your

Friend, but it's hard when you

Shut down and hide yourself

Away


Nothings changed, I'm still

Here for you, but you have got to

Reach out your hand, meet me

Half way, I'll do my best to

Teach you how to

Let go and face your deepest

Fears, release those

Demons that have held you back for

Years


I'm not

Saying that this is impossible, but we're

Gonna need a minor miracle, I'm not

Saying that this is impossible, but we're

Gonna need a minor miracle, so hope and

Pray


Nothings changed, I'm still

Here for you, but you have got to

Reach out your hand, meet me

Half way, I'll do my best to

Teach you how to

Let go and face your deepest

Fears, release those

Demons that have held you back for

Years, and one


Day you'll see that the weight has dropped a-

Way, and one

Day you'll see that the weight has dropped a-

Way, and one

Day you'll see that the weight has dropped a-

Way, dropped a-

Way, I'm not


Saying that this is impossible, but we're

Gonna need a minor miracle, I'm not

Saying that this is impossible, but we're

Gonna need a minor miracle, I'm not

Saying that this is impossible, but we're

Gonna need a minor miracle, I'm not

Saying that this is impossible, but we're

Gonna need a minor miracle, so hope and

snafu

© Asbo Slipz 2021

Raised from the deep, from my sleep

From a sweet dream that is fading fast

Speak in tongues, take a leak

While my brain is still engaging

Oh, hello again reality, wishing I was

Someone else instead of being me, hoping for a

Miracle to come and set me free, but I know I'm

Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up


Crunch through the day, for my pay

Wrangling with things that make me die

On the inside, look away

While my soul is being strangled

And I dream of a better place, wishing I was

Somewhere else instead of in this space, hoping for a

Change to come but so far nothing does, and I know I'm

Out of luck, it's situation normal, all fucked up


It's not what I want

It's not what I need

It's not how I saw

The way that things would be


I'm alive, I will survive

Keep on going, live in hope not hate

There's a chance, circumstance

Can resolve before it's too late

And I know that I'm culpable, if I do the 

Same time and again, get the same result

Need to modify the things I do if I want things to change

Be that butterfly and beat my wings and start a hurricane

Rock the casbah, roll the dice and take my chance

Whirling like a dervish in a dance


And with a little luck

And perhaps some fairy dust

It's situation normal, not fucked up


the rifft (boi)

© Asbo Slipz 2024

Hey, you look cool, and I love your tattooed

Skin, got a thing for a girl in leather

We should go out, we'd look good together

I'm on the hunt for a friend for ever


So, let me show you round, far below the

Earth, take you underground, where they gave me

Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my

Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer The Rifft


It's not bad, got a reputation

Not what you need if you seek salvation

Sin, just a word, it's a way of life here

Got what you want, we have every vice here


So, let me show you round, far below the

Earth, take you underground, where they gave me

Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my

Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer The Rifft


(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot

(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot

(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot


(Where angels fear to tread) so come on down


Hit the town, you just name your poison

Anything goes, there are no restrictions

Do what you feel, they have seen it all here

Once you walk in you will never leave here


So, let me show you round, far below the

Earth, take you underground, where they gave me

Birth, City where I dwell, if you get my

Drift, people call it Hell, I prefer The Rifft


(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot

(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot

(Where angels fear to tread) some like it hot

(Where angels fear to tread)


really boring

© Asbo Slipz 2024

I'm watching you

It's really boring

There's nothing new

An empty shell


Oh God!

Not Wonderwall

Heard that before mate

Play one of yours

Or just fuck off, well it

Seems to me like

Certain people

Need attention

I won't mention

Names


Had enough of hearing Creep it

Puts me in a coma sleep

Playing to the crowd is easy

But it lacks integrity

Where is your imagination?

Don't you get bored as me?

Pick four chords and write some lyrics

Tell me what you've got to say

You've got the look

You've got the contacts

But then you're fucked

You got no songs


You're really really really really really fucking boring


I know it's hard

To play your own shit

When all they want is

Sweet Caroline, well it

Seems to me like

Certain people

Need attention

I won't mention

Names


Had enough of Teenage Dirtbag

Every fucker plays that stodge

I would rather stab my ears out

If it meant that I could dodge

Valerie and Mr Brightside,

Not to mention Four Non Blondes

Pick four chords and write some lyrics

Tell me what you've got to

Say


I'm watching you

It's really boring

There's nothing new

An empty shell, well it

Seems to me like

Certain people

Need attention

I won't mention

Names


You're really really really really really fucking boring


You've got the look

You've got the contacts

But then you're fucked

You got no songs, got no songs


beautiful people

© Asbo Slipz 2023

When I was born the midwife cried

She couldn't quite believe her eyes, well we

Can't all be Keanu Reeves, or

Beauty Queens, and kids are mean, I tell you

School was hell, I could not wait for the 

Bell to ring and to hit that gate

There's no point in asking why,

U-G-L-Y, I ain't go no alibi


Skin deep, tough

Shit, I just make the best of it I give

No fucks, I don't care that I was

Back of the line when they gave out the looks

But it's hard to take when you comprehend you will

Never be one of the beautiful people

Slam the door in your fucking face, you can

Never be one of the beautiful people


Well I've tried, and I've learned

You just can't polish a turd and I

Know, that I don't belong with the

Beautiful people, beautiful people like

You


So I tried to hide away, I've got

Nice legs, it's a shame about the boat race, a

Face for radio, no Stevie Nicks, I've been

Beaten black and blue with the ugly stick

And I watch, but I don't understand, the

Celebrity shows with the perfectly tanned with their

Perfect teeth and their perfect houses their

Perfect lives with their perfect spouses it's


Skin deep, such a 

Waste, a nice smile doesn't buy you taste and it's

Shallow, there's no meaning in

Selling your pictures to Hello! Magazine but it's

Hard to take when you comprehend you will

Never be one of the beautiful people

Slam the door in your fucking face, you will

Never be one of the beautiful people


Well I've tried, and I've learned

You just can't polish a turd and I

Know, that I don't belong with the

Beautiful people, beautiful people like

You


But I've found my tribe now, I've got my fam and I 

Know who they are, they are fucking amazing, I

Know they accept me the way that I am, they're

Beautiful people in all kinds of ways

But not beautiful people like 

You

But not beautiful people like


You I've tried, but I've learned

You just can't polish a turd and I

Know, but I just don't care I will

Never be one of the, beautiful people

life in the slow lane

© Asbo Slipz 2024

I don't go to any crazy parties

I'm in bed before the clock hits 10pm

Then I sleep 8 hours and I

Do it all over again

I'm not built for the rock and roll lifestyle

I do drugs, yeah I'm hooked on ibu-

Profen and paracetamol, they keep me

Rolling rolling rolling


I don't mind, I don't want to be sedated

I walk the line that is less complicated

Don't wanna live with the permanently brain dead

When I wake up, I'm always in my own bed


I see posts from the people who are out and 

About, I got no fear of missing

Out

Way to go, I'm living life in the slow lane


Sometimes I might go mad and push the boat out

Stay up 'til midnight, or even 1 o'clock

But it makes me tired and it takes me

Days to get my brain straight again

I love my bed it is my favourite place to

Be; nowhere else that is so warm and so cosy

I'm an addict, I'm addicted to sleep, I'm a 

Narcoleptic son of a beach


I don't care, I don't want to see the sunrise

Don't understand how you can fight against your own eyes

Did it once and it nearly damn killed me

I'm happy lying in the dark beneath my duvet


I see posts from the people who are living the

Dream, but it looks like a nightmare to

Me

Way to go, I'm living life in the slow lane


You might say that this is waving the white flag

Need to grab every hour and fight against

The dying of the light, but sometimes

Good things can happen in the night

I'm getting older, well it happens to us all, I finally

Hear the call that I'm not nineteen

Forever, I need to pull myself

Together not get down with the trumpets


It's not fair, but it's coded in my genome

The brakes are on, I'm starting with the slow down

I've got joints but they are arthritic

Instead of shots I'm drinking lots of Ovaltine

I don't mind, I don't want to be sedated

I walk the line that is less complicated

Don't wanna live with the permanently brain dead

When I wake up, I'm always in my own bed


I see posts from the people who are out and 

About, I got no fear of missing

Out, oh no I'm living

Life in the slow lane

Fo sho I'm living

Life in the slow lane, yeah


communication breakdown

© Asbo Slipz 2023

Here we go, off again

Did I say something really stupid?

Not for the first time, I never learn

I shoot my mouth off and you burn

I didn't mean to cause you pain

We never talk about it, we soldier on

We hide the cuts pretend we're strong


Didn't mean to be cruel

I'm a fool it is pretty obvious

I get obnoxious, when I get drunk

A lack of judgement once again

I didn't mean to cause you pain

We never talk about it, you shut the door

I build a bridge, you build a wall


And who's to blame? It comes from

Misconnection, alienation

It's such a shame, no need for

This communication breakdown


I can see how it seems

So I beg you for your forgiveness

A messy business, I understand

Why you would hesitate to take

Another chance on me again

We never talk about it, we close our eyes

So this should come as no surprise


Communication is the key

Communication is the key

If there is hope for you and me


Lying here in our bed, I want to touch you but

I want to touch you but you're a fortress

Impregnable and cold as steel

I seach for gaps but I can't feel

A way to get inside your armour

Could we just talk about it? Just let me in

Open the drawbridge let's begin again


And who's to blame? It comes from

Misconception, alienation

It's such a shame, no need for

This communication breakdown


We need to talk about it, we need to find

A way to make it to the other side

We need to talk about it, we need a plan

We need to give ourselves a second chance

We need to talk about it


hearts and minds (acoustic mix)

© Asbo Slipz 2024

And so we have reached the end

Of this journey friend

It's been fun but now the curtain is coming down

And there's no more light

I have watched you fight

You deserve a goddamn standing ovation


Out of sight

You're somewhere over the rainbow

Out of time, but you

Still live in our hearts and our minds


And we, we try hard to blaze

A trail through this maze

We go down in flames it comes to us all we

Love, and it brings us pain

But I'd do it again

If I got to know your soul for a moment


So we lift a glass up 

And we remember days

When we could see 

Your smiling face yeah


Out of sight

You're somewhere over the rainbow

Out of time, but you

Still live in our hearts and our minds


And we'll meet again

Don't know where or when

But I'll see you 

Somewhere over the rainbow


make me clean again

© Asbo Slipz 2024

Well it's getting dark here

In the barrio the days are

Closing in and the sun don't show and I'm low

So can you take me higher?

I need your burning love to light my fire

And desire, it's an animal thing

I like the way you look yeah

You make-my-bell-ring

But it's more than that, I have another goal

You're the disinfectant to cleanse my


Soul, love, wash me down, make me shine

Shine bright

Oh, love, take your time make me shine

Shine bright

Give me the works, I don't care if it hurts

Strip the layers off, yeah, remove all of the dirt

And the pain


I think that you can help me

I know that you can make me clean again


Another day goes by

I'm not getting younger

Running out of time to feed this hunger

I'm all red meat and I like it rare so

Come on baby, time to bare everything

I want to bathe in your beautiful gaze

I want to taste your skin

Want to feel myself

Inside your body, inside your mind

Turn you inside out and look upon your


Soul, love, wash me down, make me shine

Shine bright

Oh, love, take your time make me shine

Shine bright

Give me the works, I don't care if it hurts

Strip the layers off, yeah, remove all of the dirt

And the pain


I think that you can help me

I know that you can make me clean again

You can make me clean again

You can make me clean again

Can you make me clean again?


And desire, it's an animal thing

I like the way you look yeah

You make-my-bell-ring

But it's more than that, I have another goal

You're the disinfectant to cleanse my


Soul, love, wash me down, make me shine

Shine bright

Oh, love, take your time make me shine

Shine bright

Give me the works, I don't care if it hurts

Strip the layers off, yeah, remove all of the dirt

And the pain


I think that you can help me

I know that you can make me clean again

Yeah, you can make me clean again


vive la difference

Outside, they move

On the hunt for the non-believers

Stay low, eyes down

Keep your head below the parapet, parapet

Keep still, lights out

Make no sound if you want to get out of here

Keep calm, stay true

Pray if you want but it really won't help you

Fish out of water, cuckoo in the nest

You're not like us so we think it's best if you

Move on, leave this place

No room for difference, got no tolerance

Be scared, be afraid

Knock on the door; it's a midnight raid

Pogrom, hate crime

Used to be your friends; but now they're on the other side


You're not like us, you know you don't belong here

You're not like us, you know you don't belong here


Strange fruit, in the trees

Well they swing in the cold cold breeze so

Swing low sweet chariot

Hear the singing of the marionettes.

Boot stamp, fist grind

We're just here to help you make up your mind

Binary, no grey

You're either with us or we're taking you away

Unrest, civil war

Vigilantes go from door to door and there's

No rules, no law

At the mercy of the kangaroo court

Judge and jury, Alpha - Omega

No reprieve, no there's no one to save you

Bang bang, you're dead

Feel the noose tightening around your neck


You're not like us, you know you don't belong here

You're not like us, you know you don't belong here

You're not like us, you know you don't belong here

This is genocide, we're just cleaning up the gene pool


Last night, I dreamt

I lived in a place that was tolerant

Free speech, free minds

No fear, no hate crime

Utopia, hard won

Rights from the fights down the generations

Stand up, defend

Fight for your rights, vive la difference


You won't break us no you won't defeat us.

You won't break us no you won't defeat us.

You won't break us no you won't defeat us.

Vive la difference, we are Spartacus.


Vive la difference

Vive la difference


ripcord

Cursing my luck again

Feeling the sting

Forcing a smile again

Faking a grin

This is the final dance

Hard times ahead

Straight for the jugular

Knocking you dead


Going down, we're set for disaster

Going round and round ever faster

You and me we don't pull together

You and me could do so much better


I can't take no more, life is too damn short

I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere

Now I see the light, I can put this right

And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now


This is the tipping point

This is the day

Feeling the energy

Riding the wave

You are the one I want

You are the prize

I'd be your Romeo

I'd treat you right


Come on round, come on now and try me

Come on down, the past is behind me

You and me we should be together

You and me could be so much better


I can't take no more, life is too damn short

I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere

Now I see the light, I can put this right

And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now


You could be anything

Could you be mine?

It's just a step away

Crossing that line


Take a chance, let's do this together

Second chance to make something better

You and me, it's all that we need now

You and me against all the world now


I can't take no more, life is too damn short

I won't fake no more, on a road to nowhere

Now I see the light, I can put this right

And I realise, I must pull the ripcord now

I must pull the ripcord now

I must pull the ripcord now


spin

Lyrics: Chloe Jacquet

Come, take my hands

Let’s spin as fast as we can

Then let’s collapse onto the ground

So we can feel how fast the world whirls around

We both know that this will last

Not even the sky can pull us apart

We both know that this will last

Not even the sky can pull us apart


I can wear THAT flowy dress

You can wear your Tuesday best

Like in the movies we’ll run through the fields

We’ll trip on roots, fall head over heels

Then get back up with

Grazed elbows and knees

For we both know that this will last

Not even the sky can pull us apart


When the dusk comes we’ll lie on the ground

Stare up at the infinity of stars.

We’ll imagine it’s all upside down

That if we don’t cling to the grass

We'll go tumbling

Into the future

Where we both know that this will last

Not even the sky can pull us apart


Time has come to a standstill

The sun is holding its breath

The universe shrinks down until

There’s only the two of us left

And even if

The whole planet shifts

We both know that this will last

Not even the sky can pull us apart

Not even the sky can hold us apart

Not even the sky can keep us apart


prometheus at sunrise

Lyrics: Chloe Jacquet

Reaching for high lines

Balancing on high wires

A dream of being fly highers

Whose are the golden lives?


Dogs are pointing

Primed for pieces of flesh

From rats on the treadmill

The game is game to them


I can't keep running, running, running, running

Running, running running, running - I need to catch a breath

But I keep running, running running, running,

Running, running - 'til just my knees are left

I just keep running, running, running, running,

Running, running - that chain's got me enmeshed

And I keep running, running, running

'Til there's only my knuckles left


It’s high time

Selling me the high life

None of it can be mine

When they’re the ones setting the price


I’m Prometheus at sunrise

The eagles feed on me to fly

They always get the prize

No matter how hard I try


I can't keep running, running, running, running

Running, running running, running - I need to catch a breath

But I keep running, running running, running,

Running, running - 'til just my knees are left

I just keep running, running, running, running,

Running, running - that chain's got me enmeshed

And I keep running, running, running

'Til there's only my knuckles left


I can't keep running, running, running, running

Running, running running,

But I keep running, running running, running,

Running, running, running

And I must keep running, running running, running,

Running, running, running

But I keep running, running running, running,

Running, running, running, running
