'what's the use of crying when the wolves have arrived?'

THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

I never had you
I never met you
we both drink booze
we both do drugs

i’m a pervert
you’re a retard
i like your body
you like my mind

we are the beautiful people

i make you cry
you make me puke
i give you crabs
you give me aids

we are the beautiful people

we don’t have time
we don’t have money
we fuck like rabbits
we die like pigs

we are the beautiful people
we are the beautiful people

i struggled all my life
for sanity and logic
now i’m fat and exhausted
and dying for a kiss.

fear is not an option

i go places I’ve never been
as fear is not an option
i try to see what’s behind the scenes
coz’ fear is not an option
i try to appreciate the virtues of modern life
and modern death

I might be equally confused
I know what i don’t want.
i don’t know what i want.
but I don’t let bad hair days
spoil good bald nights
I’ll get what i deserve
and i deserve what i ask for

And one thing i sense in you is a big bang,
a lot of powder but quite adamantine.
i like that very much,
as it lays under your love and care
and I hope someday
we can have a generate another view

i can’t think of anything else to send you but love,
so here it is :
love

i go places I’ve never been
as fear is not an option
i try to see what’s behind the scenes
coz’ fear is not an option
i try to appreciate the virtues of modern love
while you are gone

HOW I LOST MY LEG

i was in love with an ultra right wing politician
he was so cute when he spoke about
the great leader and whiteland for the whites

we organised a meeting in a hotel
on the beautiful countryside
for our loyal friends and supporters
but some leftist actionists came uninvited
and set the place on fire

my beloved one was the first to get out
but i wasn’t so lucky
to escape the flames i had to jump out
of the window of the first floor of the hotel
i landed on my leg
oh how it hurt !
the doctor said they’d better cut it off
and they did

this is how i lost my leg

s l i c k s o n g

as i washed my hands in the rivers of innocence
i just knew i’d meet you there

as we strolled along the path of freedom
we found out what we were about

r.
they call me slick
but I don’t care
I just don’t know anything
worth dying for
but I’m ready
allways ready to learn

well i sold my house and bought a car
didn’t care about a so-called home

and i made my tracks into oblivion
i just had to catch that self-bult sun

r.
they call me slick
but I don’t care
I just don’t know anything
worth dying for
but I’m ready
allways ready to learn

there are minds in the catbird seat
but who cares where they’ll roam
what i have is a simple need
a wish to be with you
don’t want to know the truth
just care about the blue
and you

smellpophit

i love you
i hope you love me too
when we kiss
it feels like xanadu

tomorrow
it’s just another day
this moment
is the act to play

what i like about you...
you smell so funny

there’s no chance
we’ll survive the night
but before
i’ll come and hold you tight

tomorrow
i’ll have to change my shoes
there’s nothing there
that can expell my blues

what i like about you...
you smell so funny

funny are your clothes
and funny is your head
but the funniest thing about you
is the scent of your breath

the thread

there’s no excuse i know
for running out of luck
i must have missed a cue
i must have failed a test
i’m looking for
a management that solves ideas

i’d rather be alone
got nothing to enjoy
got nothing else to fear
then nothing much to say
look for new likes
that manage to dissolve my dears

the thread is gone
no door can remain closed

i’m waiting for a chance
a way to flog the chain
i’m hoping for a break
and get my share of gain
look for new deals
that wave their brakes as waverbrakes

D U C K

we’d go to the beach and swim naked
me, and the two girls
one of them was a lesbian,
she’d complain about my dick
but what could i do ?
cut it off ?
say ; “ sorry that it exists “ ?
well, the baywatch would wait
for them to come out of the water
and they’d wait in the waves
for the baywatch to go away
and i’d sit on a blanket
and read a book

what’s the use of crying
when the wolves have arrived ?

another time, another beach
a bunch of drug-crazed drunken punks
Jack would show his dick in a funny way
Pete showed his butt and all were impressed
by his smithereen ass
we’d sleep in the room of some guy who was on speed
the guy said ; “sleep in my bed, i don’t mind’
he sat in a chair ,shaking his head as
if he was listening to some peculiar swinging sounds
i fell asleep, looking at his timeless timekeeping
the next morning, i woke up and there he was ;
still sitting in the chair, still shaking his head

what’s the use of crying
when the wolves have arrived ?

a flip-out about lining up at the postoffice
the guy starts screaming at me,
he is completely whacked out
what strikes me most are his dead eyes he
hits me on the head as
i am about to kick him with my rubber boots
he showshis knife ...i call him a junkie
he goes mad, reaches into his pocket
i expect a gun
but it’s a bunch of banknotes
and a mobile phone
which he fumbles into my face,
mumbling “ am I a junkie huh, what’s this then huh,
you call me a junkie, what’s this then huh ?”

what’s the use of crying
when the wolves have arrived ?

I LOVE TO WATCH

let’s cook on tv
all i wanna be
is a cook on tv

the inside scoop
i want the inside scoop

let’s watch another boring movie

i love you mom
i love you dad
i love to watch
you get wasted in bed

where no man has ever dwelled before
i ain’t going there

i like to watch
just as long as it moves
i watch

let’s talk on tv
all i wanna hear
is some talk on tv

Mobile

so small talk became big business
and next continent became next door
your talk is like a magnet baby
and i can’t stay awake

my only home is a mobile phone (yeah)

information never stops
i want to wake up in a world
that never stops giving
information about information
about more
information

my only home is a mobile phone

and time could be saved with
information about saving time
and if you save time by giving information
about saving time, you save time,
precious time,
which you can spend
obtaining more information
about saving time

my only home is a mobile phone

i am here now
i want you to share this moment with me
i just stepped in some dogshit
and i ate a piece of the cake
i am living now
not later
never before
i am
living
now

and my only home
is a mobile phone

SELF MUTATION

Sometimes i wish
i could take my voice
out of my body
and put it in a box

sometimes i wish
i could take my blood
out of my body
and put it in a can

sometimes i think
i’m an elevator
with all the lights blinking
and no floor to go to
and noone in me
so i can be independent of me

in this world
i lock out all bad things
that keep me from
perpetration

sometimes i wish
i could take my thoughts
out of my head
and put them on the table
so i can watch them
and smash them with my fist
if they move...

THE BAD ELVIS

if you’re in the
downer’s league,
raise your arm.
it’ll cheer you up

if you’re in a
league of your own
take some uppers
they will bring you down

maybe i depress you
but you depress me
we depress each other
something profoundly boring
is going on between us
so let’s hope for the best
let’s be tender ghosts

why should i try
to live on or die
if i can’t love you
you might be
the bad elvis
but you’re the only
one we have
