The Clearing [single Version]

The Devil-tips

If I could always be eighteen. You could always be eight. We'd draw monsters on your wall. I'd keep you up too late. . Cause getting served in pubs. It's all it's cracked up to be.

Little Girls

I will never love you, do what you will.. I will never lick you the way I do so well.. You now weaken your voice.. Ah, hey.. . I will never talk to you, do what you will..

Last Orders

We used to do it to ease the tension. Pretend that sex wasn't our intention. Even weeks later when they all knew. It always helped just to have a few.

Leave The Day Free

Go and close the curtains. It's getting too bright.. We need some music,. Let's stay up all night.. . Put the light back on. I can't see your face.. Can you feel it?.

Kate Moss

Infrared

How can nothing ever mean something?. It goes from white to gray so fast. A new pool on a strange mattress. Helps me catch up with my past. . Pass me something to wipe with.

Islands

I Work In A Saloon

I work in a saloon,. Pulling shit pints for shit wages.. It's a busy night tonight. And the bar is full. Of all the girls I've ever shagged,. Or tampered with, or kissed,.

Hello Daylight

I sprained my arm for you. When you hid me under the covers and held my hair. Did we just forget that we're lovers?. It all came back as Sunday was dawning.

Haunt Me

Haunt me, I know. You'll keep me, in tow. No laugh, no guide. No one beside. . So haunt me, 'cause I know. You'll keep me, in tow. And she's all, I need.

Gourmet

I'm waiting for a service, waiting in vain.. She's waiting on another man, I've no drink again.. She flashed me the menu, working smile on her lips.. Led me just enough. I shouldn't have tipped..

General Plea To A Girlfriend

I can't make boasts about my body.. The workmanship is somewhat shoddy.. Sometimes I overwork my gob.. Can't buy you gifts, I've got no job.. I know you find my habits sickly..

Driving

I was awake, I overheard your speech, my ego dried and sank.. Talked with your ex and we agreed thoughts of your sister helped us wank.. I'm sure you know that I have fancied her since she began high school..

Fucking Little Bastards

Dream Sequence

Give me your gibberish tonight and talk to me with your eyes shut. Make me giggle in your sleep, and I can dream that you're a slut. And when I wake up stiff, please just feel free to use me.

Don't Ask Me To Dance

You know I've felt like this before,. I know you have felt it too,. But maybe I don't want to dance,. 'cause I've not had as much as you.. . Our lives did not begin,.

Deeper

I'd been at my friend's house for dinner.. My mum wanted me home early so I said I'd better go home.. His sister said she was going anyway so she could walk me some of the way..

Direction Of Strong Man

We're barely half way there.. You're stretched out and clamped around me.. I don't think there's drink at home.. You make a little snore and shift.. Just keep your head down there..

Coming Down

Make me reflective, make me introspective.. Ignore the violence and explain my silence.. 'Cause its never too late to fill me with hate.. So pull away the wool and make me look cool..
