“Marijuana, Heroin”
“Hundreds and hundreds of teenage boys and girls
Are becoming hopeless dope addicts each year”
Booze and Pills
“Marijuana, Heroin”
Giving me thrills
Warning sign
“Invigorating”
Housemen, Kesey, Burroughs, Leary
Down among the dead men
“It’s terrible”
Warning sign
“It’s fantastic”
Housemen, Kesey, Burroughs, Leary
Down among the dead men
“It’s terrible”
Warning sign
Warning sign
Making me ill
Booze and Pills
“Unbelievable isn’t it that such things can happen”
Making me ill
Booze and pills
But it didn’t stop addiction
“It just made it harder for victims to get the stuff”
Making me ill
Booze and Pills
“Occasional users of marijuana, heroin,
Sleeping pills have nearly gone crazy”
Giving me thrills
Making me ill
“Confirmed addicts, parents have nearly gone crazy”
Giving me thrills
Making me ill
“Most teenagers start off with marijuana,
Then they decide to see if heroin has any kick
It does”
“In order to get money to buy it, they turn to crime
And that’s the story”
“Judge he is a good boy!”
Housemen, Kesey, Burroughs, Leary
Down among the dead men
But I wasn’t there
Never trust pranksters
Making me ill
Booze and Pills
Refer Madness
Giving me thrills
Propaganda…..

This boy and girl coming home from school
Look quite content with life
And why not?
They’re looking forward to an important date
Dinner at home with the family
The Ideal Date
Doesn’t it sound exciting to you?
Hmm is it that late?
Dad will be here any minute
Better tell mother she is needed in the kitchen, hmm
‘Kissing in the kitchen
Dancing on the ceiling’
Hmm,
The Ideal Date
Hmm,
The Ideal Date
Brother notices the time
And realises that he must put things in order
and clean himself up in time for dinner
Father too, looks forward to this date with the family
He has had a hard day at the office
These boys greet their dad as though they are genuinely glad to see him
The Ideal Date
Pleasant and emotional conversation helps digestion
The Ideal Date
Don’t monopolise the conversation and go on and on without stopping
Don’t discuss unpleasant topics such as gruesome sights or sounds
This is time of pleasure, hmm
Reverence and respect
The Ideal Date
Reverence and respect
The Ideal Date
Reverence and respect
The Ideal Date
The dinner table is no place for discontent
This does not mean you should be stiff or formal
With your own family you can relax
Be yourself
Just be sure that it’s your best self
Now we are ready for desert
Hmm, do you see now how dinner with your family can be a truly special occasion

Want Me

Want you, need you
Want you, need you
He is taking great pleasure from being coaxed to change his view point
He is getting satisfaction from being the centre of attraction.
Want you, need you
Want you, need you
If we can pour out our troubles and unhappiness to a sympathetic friend or member of the family
Then we can avoid keeping such things tied up in ourselves
As I am the chairman of the entertainment program, I will assign you to various posts
If you not satisfied, then you can overrule me. Is that OK?
Want you, need you, desire you, love you
Want you, need you, desire you, love you
He was afraid failing on the decoration job so he refused
Finding out what the trouble is
Protective mechanisms are often the wrong route
I don’t understand, he just likes to have his own way
Better count me out
Come on Mike everyone else is helping out
Well look we can’t waste any more time
Want you, need you
We will have to pay him extra for going past midnight
Better count me out
I'm pretty busy these days
Doing some very important work on
The first step on the road back to reality and the satisfaction and rewards that can only be found in the real world
Kiss me, hold me, release me

Something Beautiful
03:36
|

Happy Ghosts
They’re hiding in the bushes, on the edge of town
They’re hiding in the bushes, all around
Happy Ghosts
Be kind to their families, be careful with they’re soul, tall
That’s what this world is all about
Something beautiful, something beautiful
Beautiful………….
They’re wondering about the common good, wondering about what it is
They’re naughty by nature, but kind of heart
Glowing in the distance, glowing serene
Happy Ghosts
‘I want to make beautiful, I want to make beautiful
I want to make, happy, happy, happy!’
They’re kicking tumbleweeds, blowing in the wind
There magpies in the kitchen, but you know they hate that domestic shit
Something beautiful
Happy Ghosts
They’re singing kinda crazy
Baying at the roof
They’re trying to sound scrutible
But coming up crystal clear
‘I want to make beautiful, I want to make beautiful
I want to make, happy, happy, happy!’
Glowing in the distance, glowing serene
Happy Ghosts!

Four Emotions
03:58
|
|||
I wake up and my mind is unsound
Needing a turn to see my way through
Trying to convince myself “it will be fine. Just fine”
The day is bringing light to me
And I am seeing another side of me
I am happy, can’t you see (I can)
Lullaby
I feel so tired
I am so quiet
Why now?
Lullaby
The rain comes down
So soothe me
So soothe me, now
But now I am ready
And so fit and strong
Ready to get going
And you will be there too
This night has just started
For you and me
The darkness elevating
To another better place
And can you believe
Our four emotions in one day
Four emotions come my way
Four emotions so you say
There are four emotions in one day
Four emotions in one day

Sharks Or Skin?
02:50
|
|||
Let’s begin with the skin
Everybody needs a good time
Good times, ‘Satisfaction’, satisfaction
Protect your skin
Do want you want, say what you mean, what do you mean?
Do want you want, say what you mean
Do want you want, say what you mean, what do you mean?
Do want you want, say what you mean
What do you mean, watcha want, what do you mean
Fresh water beauty is possible
Everybody needs various layers
Sharks in the water, sharks…………
What it is and what it does, what do you mean
Amazing sensitivity to outside stimuli
Sharks in the water, sharks…………
Most everyone sweats
Everybody needs beauty, what do you mean?
Sharks in the water, sharks…………
Everybody needs a good time
Satisfaction
Keep it clean
Clean, satisfied, good times
What it is and what it does
Parts of the body, lip, the feet, the eyes, your fingertips
Flesh, flesh,……………..good times……..flesh
And so the end of a perfect day….flesh
Good times, come to me
