Lyrics

Man on fire

He aint stopping for no one
He's just gonna run and run
We've downed tools and he's still going strong
He's a man on fire
He's a man on fire

He's not like you he's not like me
Where does he get the energy
He burns the candle from both end but he's still going strong
He's a man on fire
He's a man on fire

He's a man on fire
He's a man on fire

He's a man on fire
He's a man on fire

He's a man on fire
He's a man on fire

It's Jemima's Kite

I tied Jemima's kite
To my bicycle
We're gonna send it
Soaring through the clouds

I checked the tyres
I oiled the chain
Removed the dynamo
Gonna push it up to the brow of the hill

Okay let's go
Start the countdown now
O o o it's jemima's kite
Flying so high
Across the sky
O o o it's jemima's kite
See it fly
Way on high

I've got my gloves
I've got my scarf
I've got my lucky rabbit's foot
Better put my helmet on just in case

No turning back
Although I'm scared
I'm really going through with it
Ready boys……………….. it's chocs away

Okay let's go
Start the countdown now
O o o it's jemima's kite
Flying so high
Across the sky
O o o it's jemima's kite
See it fly
Way on high

Pilot “Houston control. This is tango delta 34105
I have a bogey at 3 o'clock.
Unidentified flying object, diamond shaped flying erraticly over!”

O o o it's jemima's kite
Flying so high
Across the sky
O o o it's jemima's kite
See it fly
Way on high
O o o it's jemima's kite
See it fly
Way on high

Filthy Animal

She stirs something deep inside of me
Desire infused with anarchy
She looks like she's so squeaky clean
But likes it when I treat her mean

Coz I am her filthy animal
etc etc

she's the apple of her daddies eye
thinks she's little miss American pie
well he don't know so can't be hurt
I treat her like a piece of dirt

Do you like it etc…….

I am her filthy animal
etc etc

Childhood Memories

A hotspur annual on a skate
Crashing into granny's gate
Screaming as the iodine's applied

Buttercups and nettle stings
Hula hoops and slinky strings
I can find the strangest things
In my childhood memories

Painting goalposts on the wall
Footie played with tennis balls
Referee that's not a penalty

Ginger beer and painting eggs
Welly marks around my legs
I recall the st..st..strangest things
From my childhood memories

Catching tadpoles in a jar
Getting home before it's dark
I recall the strangest things
In my childhood memories

From my childhood memories
From my childhood memories
From my childhood memories
From my childhood memories
From my childhood memories

So Don't Ask Me

It's not a secret
It's just that no ones told you yet
Your so defeatist
Wallowing in your regrets

So don't ask me
There's nothing I can say to you
So don't ask me
There's nothing I can say………….
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can say
To you
Coz I don't want to

You want the story
Including all the juicy bits
You're such a gossip
So I'm not making any slips

So don't ask me
There's nothing I can say to you
So don't ask me
There's nothing I can say………….
There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can say
To you
Coz I don't want to

There's nothing I can say
There's nothing I can say
To you
Coz I don't want to talk to you

Rainy Lorraine

Rainy Lorraine took my heart away
Rainy Lorraine she took my heart away
Left me broke and busted
Put me back out on the street

Rainy Lorraine took all I had to give
Rainy Lorraine took all I had to give
Left me high and dry
Placed me back up on the shelf

I'd do it all again
It's better to have loved and lost
Than never loved at all……..
Never loved at all

Rainy Lorraine
Rainy Lorraine

Left me high and dry
Placed me back up on the shelf

Rainy Lorraine
Rainy Lorraine

Ladybird

I know this little ladybird
She's got freckles painted by the sun
She sits there threading daisy chains
In the graveyard as the twilight comes

So fly away home
'Cause your house is on fire and all your love is gone
So fly away home
'Cause your house is on fire and all your love is gone

I'll maybe catch you tomorrow
I'll maybe catch you tomorrow

I know this little ladybird
Her wings are hidden out of sight
But she can reach the highest clouds
When she's flying on Jemima's Kite

So fly away home
'Cause your house is on fire and all your love is gone
So fly away home
'Cause your house is on fire and all your love is gone

I'll maybe catch you tomorrow
I'll maybe catch you tomorrow

So fly away home
'Cause your house is on fire and all your love is gone
So fly away home
'Cause your house is on fire and all your love is gone
and all your love is gone
and all your love is gone
and all your love is gone
and all your love is gone

Rise

It's taken all your strength to come this far
So don't let no one drag you down

Don't let it get to you
You'll fall into their trap
That's what they're hoping for
They're ready to attack

Coz all the naysayer's negativity
Reflects itself back onto them

Don't let it get to you
You'll fall into their trap
That's what they're hoping for
They're ready to attack

I've had it up to hear
With all their petty insecurities
The silly games they play
A sign of their own immaturity

Don't let it get to you
You'll fall into their trap
That's what they're hoping for
They're ready to attack

Just rise above it
Look down from on high
They're much too small
To look you in the eye

Just rise above it
Look down from on high
They're much too small
To look you in the eye

Just rise above it
Look down from on high
They're much too small
To look you in the eye

Sweet Misery

sometimes my life gets overcrowded
and i need time out on my own
dont worry im not melancholy
im in my special happy zone

and my sweet misery
i can pull it like a rabbit from the hat inside of me
my sweet misery
from the darkness of the melancholy comes the bittersweet
what doesnt kill you
makes you stronger
and this is my
this is my misery

sometimes you have to go through bad times
to help appreciate the good
dont worry im not melancholy
im only trying to set the mood

and my sweet misery
i can pull it like a rabbit from the hat inside of me
my sweet misery
from the darkness of the melancholy comes the bittersweet
what doesnt kill you
makes you stronger
and this is my
this is my misery

and my sweet misery
i can pull it like a rabbit from the hat inside of me
my sweet misery
from the darkness of the melancholy comes the bittersweet
what doesnt kill you
makes you stronger
and this is my
this is my misery

Heart of Stone

Hey I have a heart of stone
Guess thats why Im on my own
I moved far away from home
Dont even know where I am going

Long long time ago
This ole heart of mine got broke

Now I have a heart stone
The only thing that keeps me going
I feel safer on my own
Just me and this ole heart of stone

Long ago I met a gurl
Ran my fingers through her curls
But I got burned up by the flame
And I aint going there again

Hey I have a heart of stone
Guess thats why Im on my own
I moved far away from home
Dont even know where I am going

I aint going near those flames again
Saw the things it did to better men
I dont have a need for love
Now I go a heart of stone

Hey I have a heart of stone

Order Lily Q

Who knows what and where and how and why
Clouds are having parties in the sky
Lovely luscious snowdrops tranquilise
Turn to water when they touch my eyes

Hopeless random feckle spits of rain
Running down the gutter to the drain
Can you see the order in restrain
Chemicals and enzymes in my brain

Mescal lines are drawn in the sand
Acid rain comes pouring through my hands
Ecstasy can herald in the band
To this topsy turvy wonderland

Whiteout right out of the azure blue
Careful it’s quite slippy underfoot
Auntie Sandra’s made a pot of stew
Lets all form an order Lilly Q

Hopeless random feckle spits of rain
Running down the gutter to the drain
Can you see the order in restrain
Chemicals and enzymes in my brain

The Sea of Tranquility

It’s the place for me
The sea
Of tranquillity

Nothing much happens there
You feel
As light as air

One day we’ll go there
We’ll have such fun
The daylight lasts forever
Dazed by the sun

In The sea
Of tranquillity
hey you and me
Playing in the sea
Of tranquillity

One day we’ll go there
We’ll set up house
We’ll have children
who float on air

They say the weathers good there
It never rains
oh
It never snows
The sun shines so brightly

One day we’ll go there
We’ll have such fun
Walking hand in hand
Hello everyone

Oh were gonna go
To the sea
Of tranquillity
Were gonna go
Were Gonna go
To the sea
Of tranquillity………..
Eeeeeh
Its wonderful
By the sea
Oooh ohh
The sea
Of tanquility

One day well go there
I think well stay
On the sea
Of tranquillity
