Criminal Ways

Wa ah why ay ay ay ah …

Well I am a criminal
Run from me not
Though I am a criminal
I’m sweet as a nut

Well I am a criminal
But you are naive
Though I am a criminal
I envy you that

Criminal Way ays
Criminal Way ay ays

We’ve come to do more than riot
For we are now brave
Your gonna love the way that
Our minds misbehave

Cos we’ve seen the stupid children
And we’ll let them play …

Criminal Way ay ay ay ay ays
Criminal Ways
Criminal Way ay ay ay ay ays
Criminal Ways

Come the informed and furious
The thick and the fast
Come force me my pet division
The wheat from the chaff
Cos I hear your conscience snoring
And I am awake
Criminal Way ays
Criminal Way ay ays

Break

So and so so and so was seventeen years old
Laughter
They came from down the road
Laughter
He was ….


Well I am criminal
I flaunt with the law
Well I am the criminal
Like one come before

Left Here By Myself

You stand looking like a virile father
Staring at his still-born child
‘Not quite what’s expected
For a moment, the hang-ups are down

We are the postmen who bit the dog
Bearded women, physical freaks
Lucky if our grasp on you
Lasts past the end of next week

Old … left here by myself
Old old old
I don’t wanna be by myself
Old old old
You know I did it by myself

??? empty pockets
??? ???
???
???
Marks out of ten in bathing costumes
???
The kids are tattooing each other’s backsides
“This is my end - don’t let it be yours”

Old … left here by myself
Old old old
Don’t wanna be by myself
Old old old
You know I did it by myself

(Sax refrain)

You know I do it by myself
You know I love it by myself

??? ???
??? ???
??? ???
??? ???
It’s lucky it’s cute when I get lonely
Don’t pick it; it’ll only get worse
You’re lucky I’m cute when I get lonely
Dancing to the hearse

Old … left here by myself
Old old old
Don’t wanna be by myself
Old old old
You know I did it by myself

(Sax refrain)

You know it’s lonely by myself x3

I’ll Be Your Fool

The sound of young braves comes smashing
Through the still night air
They’re breaking the shops and factories
To vent their despair
We can you now really believe that?

We’ll I’ll be your fool
Senses are numb
Now we are over-run

So out come the stupid lovelies
The proud bright young things
Parading their fancy costumes
The dancing begins
The music is almost soothing

Well I’ll be your fool
The doing’s half done
Now we are over-numb

Well I’ll be your fool
Know me as one
Now we are o o overcome

My Outside

I never look in mirrors
Can’t stand the shock
I know it’s only my outside
My friends mock
I dress myself up to be
What they think I am
‘Keep my exterior
As clichéd as I can

Woooa oh    x4

I wish I had the guts to be
As unique in attire
As my shrinking personality
And self-esteem require
I think the world is looking
And that they even care
About adopting uniform
In everything I wear

Woooa oh    x4

Wearing compliant garb
An individual
??? to pretend
He’s too original
??? dress
My naked conceit
In the pretty costume of
Petty self-deceipt

Woooa oh    x4
