JESUS CALLING

I had an itch I had to scratch
a match to make and a fish to catch
I got stung by a blue-bottle brush
I had a red-nettle rash
Cat o' nine tails upon my neck and back
I called the pot and the kettle back
But I wiped a clean slate I came clean
Chorus : I'm afraid I'll have to call
the whole thing off now
I'm afraid I'll have to nip you in the bud
I have Jesus calling me.
Blood on my thighs and milk on my knees
Sign out front says vacancies
There is a bed we can fill
But there ain't a kiss or a caress that don't make me ill
Yes it makes me ill, it's a PLEASURE, etc.
Chorus
Loveless love oh loveless love
Loveless love oh loveless love
I wiped a clean slate I came clean
Final chorus : I'm afraid I'll have to call
the whole thing off now
I'm afraid I'll have to disconnect your line
I have Jesus calling me.

EMBEDDED

Step a little bit closer
There was something you mentioned under your breath
That's the special something I'd always hoped you'd mention
Say it louder now we'd soon be dead
CHORUS: Tell me, tell me you love me
or else, tell me, tell me you'll bear with me
Hold me, tell me you'll have me, embedded
Come on and lay your body down
Your weary body down
Lay your weary bones in the ground
Step a little bit closer
There is alcohol upon your breath
It's a ________ dirty feeling we have
And heaven knows we've had it to death
CHORUS:
This heart is a good one and dead
This one's an old dead heart of mine
It's died at least x 1000 times
This one will go straight to your head
This one will go straight to the base of your spine
Ifs all turning ugly now
Everything we touch wastes clean away
We'd kiss but we can't find our lips
We speak when we know we have nothing to say
except CHORUS:
Embalmed and Embedded
Becalmed and beheaded
Do I hear your step on the stair
And these are the thighs I prize
And these are the eyes I cry.

ST JAMES INFIRMARY 

 EVERYBODY HAS TO EAT

Everyone's a liar & most are known to cheat
Arsonists, embezzlers Everyone of them has to eat
Handshake & a how d' y' do Flawless set of teeth
I got stones inside of my shoes & Everyone of them has to eat
I got no creed nor colour I got no birthday treat
No alleigance to either side Everybody has to eat

I have a Devil's Advocate Finest in the business
He just can't be beat He drools & he stutters
& he twitches & he spits & he hisses thru his
broken teeth But my best friend is the liquor
man because he takes his main course neat
Smokin O P's Drinkin I O U's Takin' liberties
in the street
I hope I go by spontaneous combustion
in a scorching blaze of heat
I won't leave no mess at all oh no yeah yeah yeah

I don't believe I've had the pleasure but I
believe I have had my fill I'm gonna take a
walk to the end of this world I'm gonna buy
myself a thrill I'm gonna tie myself to a burning
buys I'm gonna teach myself to sink or
swim Cut off my legs put em in a brown
paper bag See how many ribbons and medals
I win Wel, I got no bone to pick with you
dear You're just not my cup of meat I'm
gonna have to cream my cherry pie
Everybody has to eat.

BALLAD OF JACK FROST

Jack Frost came to town
Jack Frost took my girl away
He laid her in the ground
Tipped his hat and he was on his way
He's sure to take your loved one away
He roams from town to town
He wears a smile upon his face
Although his belly is fat
He's well respected for his charm and grace
He'll only lead your loved one away
He'll only take your pleasure away
Don't let him take your loved one away.

PROPERTY IS CONDEMNED

Alcohol, Heroin,
It's all water under the bridge
Left to your own devices
I know you're going to sink like a ship
Property, property, property is condemned
You tell a lie for long enough
And you believe it yourself
Now there's spittle running down your chin
Dozen murders under your belt
Property, property, property is condemned
Men and wowen on their knees
Nothing in their heads
I don't want to hear no tall stories
About what they doing in bed
I don't want a talk, I don't want a chat
I don't want to share a joke with a fink
I don't want a novel or a movie show
Just a pissing in the sink
Property, property, property is condemned
It was written all over your face now junior
You wanted chicken and turkey
Then that then this
The very next minute your bowels went slack
Now it hurts so bad you can't even piss.

RAINING PLEASURE

Trail through the wilderness
Dryest season known to us
Think about you all the time
Trail through the wilderness
Dryest season known to us
Dreamed I saw it all come down
Dreamed I saw my pleasure raining down
REFRAIN :
Salty lips to taste
Skin to touch
Nothings matters very much
In your arms it's a raining pleasure
I believe it's raining pleasure
Too little cash to much time to kill
Buried alive in a shack on the side of a hill
Hasn't raine for fifteen years
Been three weeks I can't get through
Phone is dead Baby is that you ?
REFRAIN
