Blonde Betty
03:09
|

|
She was a woman of particular taste
Flaxen of hair, and pretty of face
Charcoaled eyes as black as death
She'd lead you through years of regret
Betty was the lady, you lived to impress
A driven woman, you can suggest
But one who always knew what's best
Falling for her was suicide
You'd contemplate her love in your mind
But Betty, she never found the time
You hoped, you'd yearn
You prayed for attention
But Betty gave
Everyone affection
You'll be captive with lust, for all to see
Endless days of misery
Betty wouldn't fall for me
A touch of her hand, a gentle caress
This femme fatale will rip the heart from your chest
Battered and bruised metaphorically speaking
In a blink of an eye, she'll set you pulse racing
When it comes to men she don't play fair
When you look like her, you're without compare
Her curving body and shapely breasts
Thighs which you'd long to bless
But never would you grace her figure
Cause a man don't know when love and lust differ
Damn blonde Betty She'll be your maker
Your breaker, a heartshaker, your maker, your breaker, you know you've got to have her

A Tortured Writer
04:08
|
|||
|
Breath is shallow and the voice is thin
Face is riddled with hurt and sin
But in these days of darkness
Is where real happiness lies
Such pain I sympathise
Here lies a tortured man
Such faint praise with which he's damned
But he won't whore himself
To his detriment, he needs no encouragement
He writes in hollow verse
His great mind's been cursed
Cause joy's a bitter pill
And pain to him is such a thrill
Holds no care for morality
And loathes his self pity
But this anger, satisfies him
As no lover could give him
Washed up is how this man feels
The more he aches the pleasure
And egotism is found in pills
And then before god, he will kneel
Send to hell for this man deals
In pleasure from pain he does kill
Himself for pain is such a thrill
Pain to him is such a thrill

Casualty Of Cool
02:38
|

|
Well you've got to act the part if you want to be rude
And there aint nothing that he won't do
He's a casualty, a casualty of cool
He's gotta buy the fashions and have the right clothes
Matching snap on covers for his new iPhone
He's a casualty, a casualty of cool
Why be vain to fit in with the crowd
Add a touch of yourself and feel so proud
Don't be a casualty, a casualty of cool
Musical tastes are just a trend to him
It's gotta be new and oh so in
He's a casualty, a casualty of cool
His style of hair must grace a magazine
It has to be right to fit in with the scene
He's a casualty, a casualty of cool

Magpie

Real fine gent crooked and bent
Magpie sure to see you alright
Piece of silver, tyres and timber
Magpie, noon and night
If you seek, he's the man
He know's what you want
Eyes, ears on the hunt
He know's what you need
Magpie Magpie
If you want present for your mother, but aint got the pennies, pounds or even dollars
He'll sort you out, got the clout
Cash in hand, pay the man
Got a line, dressed so fine
Pay the man
Looking for some bargains on DVD, MP3's or a treat for the lady. Ask no questions, you'll hear no lies, Magpie knows your desire
Market's home, rag and bone
Wheeler, dealer
Edge of law, moral flaw
Street born preacher
