02. Everything Hurtz
(Smith/Hanley, S)
4:06
Come to me
Come unto me
All ye that labour
You that are heavy laden
Cos everything hurts
And everything hurts
I've been pursuing the fuel too long
Got a big fat pain in my chest bone
Got an on-empty pocketbook
Got a big fat no no in my chequebook
And everything hurts
And everything hurts
I got the disease tinnitus
I'm speakin' like I've got Tourrette's
And everything hurts X3
I'm born X 2
I'm dressed like a road beacon
On my way to Valhalla breakfast
And everything hurts
Can't you see the bitches by my side
Followin' me through all my life
And everything hurts
I was born X 3
Come to me all ye that labour and are heavy laden
My head dip dip dip dipping, man
All my limbs are disconnected
And everything hurts X3
I've been pursuing the fuel too long
Got a big fat pain in my chest bone
And everything hurts X2
Everything hurts
[...] man
Cos everything hurts
I got a big fat foot on my knee bone
And the back of my [?] is in my septum
And everything hurts X2
03. Return
(Smith/Hanley, S)
4:03
God bless the cold winds and its refreshing consequence, uh-huh
Oh please return
Hellas did tremble
Hellas did go away
Finding it difficult
To stand in its fury
Over the ironing board
But still this golden curl
Vented its Hellas fury
Return, baby baby baby come back to me
Come back to me, return
I was told to go easy and this one did
But still this golden creature raised its fury
Head sparkles
Return
Baby baby baby come back to me
Return
Is that a hair extension?
It's soaked in hair lotion
How can you smell your own head?
Return
Baby baby baby come back to me
I'll change the latch on the door
I'll get locks all over
I ran on up ahead
Sparkle and pander her
04. Dangerous
(Smith/Hanley, S/Bush)
4:02
The selfish smiling fool and the sullen frowning fool shall both be thought wise
Think
Like mountain climbing
or skiing in the alps
Think of it
I don't
It was a big fat February
Wet, the ugly pavement cracked
Pause, unsafe
I thought:
Insect posse will be crushed
It was a bit of Code Selfish
There was not much going on
in the minds of the weak
They were unprepared to be torched
By lighter kleptomaniacs
So-called dangerous
There is mad
And there is bad
And there is sad
And there is bad and sad
Dangerous
And the meek shall inherit the mirth
They were big, panoramic
"Same again, sir?"
How can you have the same again?
Dangerous
(7" side 1: track 1; side 2: track 2)
(12" side 1: tracks 1,3; side 2: tracks 2,4)
(CD: tracks 1,3,4,2)
