Leeches

He laid down, I pressed my words so gently like leeches upon him, Wept as I lay seeds down.
He laid down, I freed the chains so cruelly, he begged me to leave him a prisoner of himself.
I have no guilt my love, only pity
You have no guilt my love, only fear.

Lying here waiting to escape the heavy bodyweight on top of me.
Saliva is the pool on my neck
The breathing corpse, I wrestle it off me.
Poured it all away, stinking now, I skulk away.
The froth in the cold grass soaking
My love is only pretend,
Sorry for the trouble I've caused,
Self-deceit is the truth of it all
The lies I tell to keep you here with me.

Come scarpe yourself up off the ground
Come, let me show you what I've found
Lights in the eyes of the ugly
Lights as they stomp around.
The blast of music on gnarled ears
Come! there's no need to blush down here.
Come and flaunt your homely face
Come! Nobody's out of place
Except the winners in life, who we must turn away.
No winners here!
Turn away beauty, turn away,
At last, no sneering laughter to fear
We all smell bad down here,
Dance with me, dance with me, down here.

Salvage

I trusted you, I trusted you,
I trusted you even with the holes in your arms to see through.
I trusted you, then you slipped through my arms like a fish.
What a fool I was to love you, when you had your own baby who'll
Love you to death.
Out of a grotesque embrace into control
My heart a swinging brick beneath my breasts,
I trusted you - even I! I trusted you, why?
And now we feel flickers of hate and my cheek's still burning.
So don't say you haven't been warned
And don't say you wish you'd never been born
Let the linen dry, the stains cannot wash out
The eternal cry...

Eel Pout

Here it comes- now! Are you fit for this? Brrrrrr
No box, no label, turn it on its head and lay it on the table.
No light house, just wriggling in shreds of hair
Icy, icy,icy, icy
See them bangin' against the rocks,Out there, out there, out there.
Eel pout, burbot, blenny child,
No tears, no trouble,
Turn him around and burst his bubble.
Flying deep down, kiss the salty rain,
Rising rising rising rising
Hear them bangin' against the rocks
Out there.

Gluttony

Between the boards hot liquid seeps
There's something sad between the sheets
A craze has clutched me now, it'll pass between my fingers like my hair
Pass out.
Within me, there's such violence
It's crawling up my spine, the wringing, clinging fingers
They cringe, they spin, they wind me up.
Imagination tells me tales of treachery
I somehow can't identify the enemy
I build a tent inside my bed
And there I place my head and pass out.

Upon your lips I find escape from other games
I've found a well of oily flames
Sensitive
I clutched your legs, how you fell
the swinging light between heaven and hell.
Sensitive
I feel
Don't let it slip away.

Tasty - like a flea-bitten head in brine
Tasty - oh god the things you find sometimes.
Take it away!!
Tasty - shake your pretty arse out the window
Shake it out the window
Pretty tasty.
