Swingin' w

I'm Judas/Judy, panicking, got everything and nothing
Happy birthday Mr. president! I'm here to call your bluff!
From te top of the world I'm gonna jump! Jump! Jump!
I'm so perfectly imperfect and I did it for your love

I'm as small as thumbelina. sugar fairy on the cake
Because the thinnest of excuses leave the bitterest taste
Brittle-bones, Barbie-cued, take a piece of my heart
When you know you haven't got it, does it make you feel so good?

This dress is killing me!
Frockanoia

I won and then I lost and then I won and then I lost
And now I know how much a pound of flesh can cost
And the question isn't if, it's definite when
Do I throw my achy heart into the gutter again?

This party isn't over' til the thin lady sings
Critics dressed as waiters are waiting in the wings
Where they'll gather like vultures to pick at the bones
I won and then I lost and I got nothing at all

This dress is killing me!
Frockanoia

These red azaels
Never grew so tall
This well of loneliness
Could rise and drown us all

There is no right or wrong
Thigs fall as they do
Pulled by the sun & the moon
Forever comes too soon

People come/people go
But still I'll never let go
Ideas come/Ideas go
Still I'll never let go

I've fallen for the girl
Been mad about the boy
When you've kissed an angel
There's just no choice

There is no right or wrong
Thigs fall as they do
Pulled by the sun & the moon
Forever comes too soon

People come/people go
But still I'll never let go
Ideas come/Ideas go
Still I'll never let go

Lying with the squares
On the kitchen floor
Watch the clock's pointing fingers
They've seen it all before

There is no right or wrong
Thigs fall as they do
Pulled by the sun & the moon
Forever comes too soon

People come/people go
But still I'll never let go
Ideas come/Ideas go
Still I'll never let go

Don't tell me lies
I don't need fingerprints, so
Button up your coat
Before you catch your death of cold

Throw away your books
They're building windmills
Three miles up
Out on the moors
There's an empire waiting

Look at me now!
I can take on the world - and win
Look at me now!

Towny go home
Whisper in the tower of babel
But I have all I need
I have shoes with sharpened soles

And every simple joy
We make it all so complicated
When all you need to know
Is putting the meat
Around your bones

Look at me now!
I can take on the world - and win
Look at me now!

Just look at me now
Both feet on the ground
My sights are fixed on the horizon

One year later
This queue never moved
I've got well dressed slugs
Crawling over my shoes
And all these bouncers
Pushing me around
Well I'll huff and I'll puff
I'll blow your house down
In these hard times
No money for the arts
No money for a bonus
And my car won't start
The taxman cometh
And the landlord too
Now something better chance
I've got things to do

Scratched record carries on forever
Last waltz carries on forever
Prize fighter carries on forever
Too much bowing
To the sacred cow
Hey! You! Outside! Now!

Two years later
And the tap still drips
This pain in my back
Means I still can't sleep
They're ripping up the longside
For plastic seats
We're ripping off the gas
Just to make ends meet
Half the population
Living off crime
I'm talking 'bout the fuckers
On question time
Pop fops on horse
Haven't got a clue
Now something better change
I've got things to do

Scratched record carries on forever
Last waltz carries on forever
Prize fighter carries on forever
Too much bowing
To the sacred cow
Hey! You! Outside! Now!

Three years later
And I'm still in this queue
Now somethnig better change
I've got things to do
Too much bowing
To the sacred cow
Hey! You! Outside! Now!

Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again

Dreams I kept as a child
Kept me quiet and hypnotised
Cooked away my valentines
Served myself up every night
Couldn't see me for the trees
And all that hallmark poetry
I'm not the girl, I used to be

Wondering
Have I given up dreaming?
Come down from ceiling
I won't do that again
Thinking
My misspent history
Mistakes to teach me
I won't do that again

Trying to break the family ties
Chocolate hearts and tacky lies
Heard a thousand crappy lines
And I believed them every time
So I beg to disagree
Love's not taking all of me
I'm not the girl I used to be
