I'm a good hater, I've been told
a real alligator
a smiling assassinator
a cold potato
I'm a good hater
revenge is a pie flying towards your face in super slow motion
I wanna do you slowly
you keep hangin' 'round
I hooked you in
I'm a good hater
one of the best I've heard
from someone who said they should know
you can depend on me
a ranked detester
a super loather
a champion raspberry blower
a righteous disliker
I got my wings and bars
I'm a made guy - officer class
got it goin' on
poison workin' while I sleep
I'll take my time
then one day at the bust stop I'll turn and smash ya
I'll stew on you
I'll brood on you
I like a familar groove
I'm a good hater
a great conflater
I'm the best detester
you screwed up Hazel, when you crossed me
you're in the red
I'm counting
you're carried over
I was open
you swung
I got legs
I got reach
I'm a good hater
a real alligator
a smiling assassinator
a cold potato
a ranked detester
a super loather
a champion raspberry blower
a righteous disliker
I got my wings and bars
I'm a made guy - officer class
I'm a good hater
a real alligator
a smiling assassinator
a cold patato

you talk too much
we can't not know what you're thinkin'
what's on the front of your tongue
you talk too much
once- just once- you spoke up
your down words
they go on
we look at you
we hear ya
some things should stay on your mind
some things should stay in your mind
are you out of your mind?
get back in!
most of you should stay as an idea
you talk too much
where is the surprise?
its a need to know world
you talk too much
we can see what you're thinkin'
your front door is open
people just walk over and look in
some things should stay on your mind
some things should stay in your mind
are you out of your mind?
get back in!
most of you should stay as an idea

You need a push
you need a time and a place and a story

poeople need to be dealing with you
You need a Kleek, Klook

I Been Trendy
03:59
|

I been trendy
it was nice
a little respite, from runnin' and chasin'
and headlocks and divin"
lights, cameras, smiles
like a party in a tanning salon
I'm no good in the sun
Irish skin
I burned, then blistered
to a violent crisp
I can't hold the pose
to grip and grin for so long
I been trendy
it was nice
it's not my thing
I'm more suited to the shadows
got more to work with there
I been trendy
it was nice
sweet
cute
like a party in a tanning salon

Rupert's Pet's Grave
Who's gonna shine it?
After they sweep away the trash and clean the paint?
Rod Stewart in the 22nd century, tells a story of his days as a grave shiner. He was kept hoppin', cleanin' the screen of whatsisname- Rupert's Pet's Grave
Will there be guards?
Will they be proper, white?
How the man was hated! Stirred the pot so tight.
Who's gonna clean Rupert's Pet's Grave?
He wasn't a "people person", oh how he hated people!
Hate won't keep you alive
It''ll drench your mind - and the lousy words you traded in!
Everybody dies! It's not just a story!
Everybody's got to work - I understand!
Who's gonna clean Rupert's Pet's Grave?
And before that? At the grisly end?
who's gonna wipe?
What poor minimum wage... is gonna clean his privates?
Make him respectable?
Cos when the powers gone to someone else and the crowd drifts off with the force .
And he lays in his cot in a wilderness of unrequited hate...
Everybody dies! It's not just a story!
Everybody's got to work - I understand!
Who's gonna clean Rupert's Pet's Grave?

the sugar was on the table
Scott promised he would die
strong and bitter
Tony was tied to the mask
winkin' for his siren
Malcolm was in the long boats
talkin' with his cut throats
sayin' he knew the way
he had navigation up the wazoo
let's kick this mob out
the sugar was on the table (that's what they said)
let's kick this mob out
"hey wait! No boat must land! Not on our watch!"
they said
"we must decide who goes there!
and the manner in which they rot!"
let's kick this mob out
let's kick this mob out
officer dutton plodded the perimeter
DUTTON DRESSED AS MAN!
refugees threw themselves from high buildings
sewed their lips together
let's kick this mob out

Be Sad For Me!
I’m outsourcing my tears
cryin’ it forward
Here’s a minor chord
strum it!
they will come
tears of a stadium
tears for streaming
here- have some of mine
help yourself!
you can cry for me
I’m all choked up
but I don’t have much time
Be sad For Me
I’ll owe you big time
Be Sad For Me!
I’m outsourcing my tears

How long does the raunch stop in one?
askin' for a friend
how long does the raunch stop in one?
your eyes
your eyes
dictator dragged through the dust
fatal blow by the trucks
hungry child with flies in it's eyes
chocolate steaks, corn jacks potato cakes
double cheesey crust flakes
used to have to choose to
not choose not to
your eyes are bigger than your plate
how long does the raunch stop in one?
stray stones in my pathway
tell you about my friend
walkin past a screen
that was open
raunched
and he copped it
how long does the raunch stop in one?
way down in your groundwater
how long does the raunch stop in one?
sediment bed
your eyes
your eyes
used to be hard to grab
had to walk across town
your eyes
your eyes
what does it do while it's there?
your eyes
your eyes
how long does the raunch stop in one?

I'm Never Off
05:17
|

I'm never off, sorry I wish I could not be so
so for a moment I'm never off
I'm always on
even when I'm sleepin' I'm hummin' a tune from somewhere in the future
alcohol and dope help to stem the flow
stop and go
I'm never off, sorry I wish I could not be so
so for a moment I'm never off
I'm always on
I could write a book if I could get away
rent a room in a new city and the words would come from somewhere
there
I'm never off, sorry I wish I could not be so
so for a moment I'm never off
I'm always on
