Underwater Moonlight Lyrics

I Wanna Destroy You
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

I feel it coming on again
Just like it did before
They feed your pride with boredom
And they lead you on to war

The way you treat each other
Really makes me feel ill
Cause if you want to fight
Then you're just dying to get killed

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you

A pox upon the media
And everything you read
They tell you your opinions
And they're very good indeed

I wanna destroy you

And when I have destroyed you
I'll come picking at your bone
And you won't have a single atom left
To call your own

I wanna destroy you
I wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you
Wanna destroy you


Kingdom Of Love
In the spiritual kingdom of love
You're the one that I'm thinking of
Yeah, in the spiritual kingdom of love

You've been laying eggs under my skin
Now they're hatching out under my chin
Now there's tiny insects showing through
Ann all them tiny insects look like you

In the primitive jungle of love
It's funny what you're capable of
Yeah, in the primitive jungle of love

Ah, the way you look and all the things you said
If look could kill then baby I'd be dead
Either someone's cloned you and you aren't
Or you've grown out of me just like a plant

Ain't no way I'm gonna be anything I oughtta to be
All I want to do is be your creature
Ain't no way I'm gonna be anything I wanna be
All I want to do is be your teacher

In the physical kingdom of time
I guess that your dish is full of slime
Well, in the physical kingdom of time

You know, I would ramble all through time and space
Just to have a duchess lick at your face
You're the one I love or so it seems
Because you've confiscated all my dreams

Yeah


Positive Vibrations
Positive vibrations
Shine through all creation
Positive vibrations
Unite all the nations

There you go killing for peace
Don't you know you'll never get peace anymore
Just get war

Positive vibrations
They call at all stations
Forget you paranoia
It'll only destroy ya

There you go killing the lamb
Don't you know it's still in the plan
What a waste

Positive vibrations

Baby, when you do it to me
I feel like oil that burns in the sea
>From the top
Never stops

Positive vibrations
Shine through all creation
Positive vibrations
Shine through all creation
Vi-i-brations
Vi-i-brations
Vi-i-brations
Vi-i-brations
Vibrations - vibrations
Vibrations - vibrations
Vibrations - vibrations
Vibrations - vibrations


I Got The Hots
Ah, Mmm, Mmm
Said the dentures to the peach
Said the tide of filth to the bleach
Said the spike to the tomato
Said the curry to the corpse
I got the hots for you
I got the hots for you
I got the hots for you
I got the hots for you

Here I am
Looking out on a crystal world
Floating currents of human eyes
Baking land under creamy skies

Yeah

Said the vicar to the waitress
"The best thing about you is your waist"
She laughed a laugh that echoed round a fortress
Said "Wait till you see the statues in my bathroom"
I got the hots for you
I got the hots for you
Huh, huh
I got the hots fro you
I got the hots for you

There she was
When you see her your eyes awake
Electric bulbs on a birthday cake
Would you care for a lump of steak?
Or a piece of hake?
Or another take?


Insanely Jealous
She's walking down the street
Me - I'm just invisible
And who or where she walks with makes no difference to me
The people that she meets
She turns them into sideshows
They're just here for their amusement
That's not what I want to be
But I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

The night is black and thick
I wander past your window
And I catch a cigarette thrown from a jewel encrusted hand
It comes on pretty quick
Exactly like a crocodille
In search of a mirage across the undulating sand
But I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

I don't know why the people want to meet
When all they know is that they'll breed like rabbits in the end
Cause ordinary people on the street
They never know
But if they can't be rabbits they'll be friends

And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me
And I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

I just can't let it out
This feeling of insanity
Is thicker than a barge upon a shattered heap of coal
I know what it's about
Like crying from a nightmare
And the one who lies beside you cannot hear to save a soul

But I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know
And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go
And I'm insanely jealous of you
Yeah, I'm insanely jealous of you

The damage that we do is just so powerfully strong
They call it love
And the damage that we do it just goes on and on and on
Not long enough

Paint is cracked and dry
The name is now illegible
And everything is lost upon the cracked and misted hull
Beneath a yellow sky
The lovers trip beside a ship
But all I hear when they embrace is just the kiss of skulls

But I'm insanely jealous of the people that you see
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that aren't me
And I'm insanely jealous of the places that you go
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you know
And I'm insanely jealous of the hairs upon your back
And I'm insanely jealous of the spiders in your path
And I'm insanely jealous of the stains upon your feet
And I'm insanely jealous of the stuff inside your feet
And I'm insanely jealous of the things upon your bed
And I'm insanely jealous of the jerk that's in your head
And I'm insanely jealous of the people that you love
And I'm insanely jealous of the fingers in your glove
And I'm insanely jealous of you
Insanely jealous of you
Insanely jealous of you
Insanely jealous of you


Tonight
I am here and everywhere tonight
I am here and everywhere tonight
I am here and everywhere tonight
Tonight

In the trails made by giant ships
In the sway of a teddy girl's hips
In the curl of a teddy boy's lips tonight
In the trails the aeroplanes make
In an old age pensionless cake
I'm not here for just anyone's sake tonight
Tonight

In the places nobody goes
I'll be there with a very long nose
Tonight - Where nobody sees
Tonight - I'm under the trees
It's all right
Tonight - I've waited so long
Tonight - If nothing goes wrong
It's all right
Tonight

When you're older looking around
You will hear a familiar sound
I'll be gone but I'll still be around tonight
When you turn the key to your door
Someone's been inside there before
It was me but you don't know what for tonight
Tonight

In the back of a broken down car
On the rim of a vaccum jar
I'll be with you wherever you are tonight
Tonight
I'll be with you wherever you are tonight
Tonight

Tonight - I'll be with you
I'll be with you
Tonight - I'll be with you
I'll be with you
Tonight - I'll be with you
I'll be with you
Tonight - I'll be with you
I'll be with you
Tonight - I'll be with you
I'll be with you
Tonight - I'll be with you
I'll be with you


You'll Have To Go Sideways
(Instrumental)


Old Pervert
I'm an old pervert and I hang around under the bridge
I'm an old pervert and I hang around under the bridge
I won't do you no harm I just wanna show what's in my fridge
So come on little girl, is your name Hester or maybe it's Midge

Well, they say that I'm weird and disenfectant is the only thing I drink
They say that I'm weird and disenfectant is the only thing I drink
Ah, but cleanliness of the soul is more important, don't you think?
And I could show you one or two things right there in my sink
So come on baby

I'm an old pervert and I just don't get around much anymore
I'm an old pervert and I don't get around much anymore
Sometimes I feel it evaporating through the door
But come on pretty baby and I show you how I let you score
Ha ha ha ha
Yeah, baby


Queen Of Eyes
Blinking on and off it's the Queen of Eyes
With a carapace shell and her black lace thighs
I don't know why she never gets anywhere with you

Lucky the Pig is out on a limb
He's looking for someone to investigate him
I don't know why he never gets anywhere with you

Here I am again, it's no surprise
Locked in orbit round the Queen of Eyes
All I ever got from her was lies

In this horrible age of abuse and decay
It's good to know that somebody is looking okay
I don't know why she never gets anywhere with you

Blinking on and off it's the Queen of Eyes
With a carrot based shell and her black lace thighs
I don't know why she never gets anywhere
I don't know why she never gets anywhere
I don't know why she never gets anywhere with you


Underwater Moonlight
He was white and she was white as only statues are
Fifty years they stood there looking stupid by a jar
One night in mid-august when the moonlight got too strong
They climbed off their pedastal and then they sang this song

Past the gun implacement and the bones as white as bleach
Through the rats and ivy till they came out on a beach
Out into the ocean till they disappeared from view
Honey, when it gets you there's just nothing you can do

Underwater moonlight sets the body free
Underwater moonlight baby you and me
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight

He was pink and she was pink and onward they did row
Didn't see the giant squid though, it was fairly slow
When they hit the bottom they were well and truly dead
The statues took their place and then they rowed back home instead

Underwater moonlight, take your baby down
Underwater moonlight, watch you baby drown with love
And in the moonlight - Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight

(there are a few quiet lines here I cannot make out)
Once again
I can take you down - Moonlight
Below the sea - Moonlight
Why don't you feed the fish? - Moonlight
I'll make you feed the fish - Moonlight
I'll watch you feed the fish - Moonlight
I'll watch you feed the fish - Moonlight

Underwater moonlight sets the body free
Underwater moonlight baby, you and me
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight
Underwater moonlight


Vegetable Man
In leather shoes
I get the blues
So I walk the streets
In my plastic feet
And my blue velvet trousers make me feel pink
There's a kind of stink about blue velvet trousers
In my paisley shirt I look a jerk
And my tourquoise waistcoat is quite outta sight
But oh, woah, my haircut looks so bad
Vegetable man, where are you?

So I change my ?hair?
And I buy my jeans
And I cover them up with a lettuce cup
My ______ socks with water and epoxy
Don't take _____ about my old socks
We'll wash my watch with a plant base, outta date, in a little hole there
all alone
It's what I got
It's what I wear
It's what you see
It must be me
It's what I am
Vegetable man

Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha
Ah-ha-ha-ha, ha-ha-ha-oh

I've been looking all over the place for a place for me
But it ain't anywhere
It just ain't anywhere

Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable man
Vegetable, vegetable man
Vegetable man

He's the kind of fellow you've just got to see if you can
Vegetable man


Strange
And I go downstairs the candle throws a shadow over me
And when I get downstairs I pass the place she always used to be
And it's strange how no one else can see
Strange, no one else but me

And when I kiss her mouth I raise the lid and lower it again
And when I kiss her mouth I never cry, I'm just like other men
ABut it's strange how no one else can see
Strange, no one else but me

And so she lies there in the freezer looking elegant and tall
Oh, she could lie there for a century and never change at all
And it's strange, how no one else can see
Strange, no one else but me
No one else but me


Only The Stones Remain
Men were executed, women bled
Meat and fish changed hands and children stayed up late
Uh, huh

Coloured drums they ?displace? the night
There's a taxidemist looking for a fight
But now he's gone, oh yeah
Only the stones remain

Girls were decked with flowers and violated ?while?
Boys spat juice from a, out of their fresh young ?bones?
Soldiers crossed their hearts and died _____ pretty girls turned cold inside
But now they're gone, oh yeah
Only the stones remain
Oh they're gone, yeah
Only the stones remain

And the stones have forgotten them
The stones have forgotten them

They brake your body and drain the life out of it
It sinks into the soil while the soul flies up into the air above
and when there's no more tears to cry
There's nothing left to do but laugh
State led collabarations collapse and cannibis evaporates, honey
Only the stones remain
(Here they going)
Oh yeah, only the stones remain

Woah

Now they're gone, oh yeah
Only the stones remain
Oh yeah, only the stones remain


Where Are The Prawns?
Baby doll, you know your hair shines like like ink when you're not here
You left before I got here, so how do you know I'm late?
You better tell me when you gonna be on the menu

Where are the prawns?
Down by the sea
Where are the prawns?
Down by the sea

Where are the prawns?

Cookie pie, the waters rise above your legs beneath your eyes
Already the clouds are drowning and even the stars are damp
I'll be awake and dreaming all of us could go screaming

Where are the prawns?
Down by the sea
Where are the prawns?
Down by the sea
Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea
Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea
Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea - Sea


Dreams
Dreams are my everything
I'm not here
Dreams are my everything
I don't care

I hear green symphonies in the silence
I hear black melodies in the violence

I can't concentrate on a world I hate
I'm in love with you
What else should I do?

Dreams are my everything
And I mean it
I don't need anything
I can dream it

I can't concentrate on a world I hate
I'm in love with you
What else should I do?


Black Snake Diamond Rock
Black snake diamond role
Twists away across the floor
Trails away like mercury
Have you ever seen her?
Been right in between her

She's a goddess
You'll pay double
Just to be a candlestick
Black snake diamond rock
Cut it hard and watch it shine

Doing it with confidence
Have you seen her squeeze a bulb?
Singing like a window pane
_____ glass she broke her voice
Yes

She's not young and she's not old
She's a woman every time
Got a penthouse full of dwarfs
Lord, I wish that she was mine
Well, maybe she is

Rock around the fire escape
Boogie with a question mark
Dancing with a rubber snake
Going down the Milton ?keenes?
Looking for my destiny, ha
Feeling young and dignified
In a velvet guillotine
Yes

Black snake diamond rock
Hungry fingers in a smock
Sucking on a ?cloaker's top?
Tulips blossom in a shop
Umm

Tulips from Amsterdam
Tulips from Amsterdam
Joined together at the sides
Black snake diamond role
Gonna make it with my bride
Gonna be a burly night
Well I hope and feel alright
Putting on a special smell
Leaves me in exquisite hell
Tulips from Amsterdam
Tulips from Amsterdam
Tulips
Black snake - Diamond - Role
Yeah


There's Nobody Like You
Well if your name's Mucky you can count yourself lucky that you're still
walking round on four feet
Cause I tell you right now though I don't how there's still perverse out
there on the street
And it's rare that a pig makes it back from a gig without coming at you
with physical harm
He must be saying, "Oh, I didn't know," and they wind up on that bacon farm

I don't mind dressing in black if I thought it would get your temperature
back

And if your name's Queek you're quite unique and it's taken you over the
top
Mr. Rodgers and I don't know the messiah ever since you walked into the
shop
And if your names Kent it's known that you're bent it's an actual
undeniable fact
Cause a law round here they've got cloth ears so you never get caught in
the act

But I don't mind dressing in blue if I thought it would make any difference
to you

There's nobody
There's nobody
There's nobody like you

There's nobody
There's nobody
There's nobody like you

If your name's Him then suddenly a whim but you seem to be nowhere at all
If your name's Her than you're coverd with fur and you're waiting for Him
in the hall
The stuff that you sell and the way that you smell is to say the least way
out of place
If I had a choice between the fist and the voice you know I'd push you
right out of your face

But I don't mind dressing in green if i thought that you'd understand what
I mean

There's nobody
There's nobody
There's nobody like you


Song No. 4
We arrive and you go
Neither fast or too slow
We are watching all the papers
But I wish to God they'd say what they're doing when it comes here

Mmm, the girls are so smooth
You, your youth

All your visions collapsed
You expect it back in facts
But please don't do it again
Oh, why don't you ever come and talk to me I'll concentrate hard on
whatever you say

Here comes the musket with all its brace
I know that it can take all it wishes when it's here
I get it made made in a ____

So you go and you're gone
Only us lingers on
There there is no acceptance like the past
And I always see from my point of view
You just never listen and talk to me even if I smell you wouldn't say
You just stand and listen and talk to me you don't even concentrate on what
you say
No, you and your fingers just sit there and fiddle with me you never speak
about what you'd smell if you could hear me
Drain

(Yeah, Click over, Click over, That's it then, Right, That's it then, Yeah,
Do you wanna play it?)
