Bush - Sixteen Stone (1994)
01. Everything Zen
There must be something we can eat
Maybe find another lover
Should I fly to Los Angeles
Find my asshole brother
Mickey Mouse has grown up a cow
Dave's on sale again
We kissy kiss in the rear view
We're so bored, you're to blame
Try to see it once my way
Everything zen, everything zen
I don't think so
Everything zen, everything zen
I don't think so
Raindogs howl for the century
A million dollars at stake
As you search for your demigod
And you fake with a saint
There's no sex in your violence
Try to see it once my way
Everything zen, everything zen
I don't think so
Everything zen, everything zen
I don't think so
Everything zen, everything zen
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is dead
I don't believe that Elvis is, Elvis is
There's no sex in your violence
Try to see it once my way
Everything zen, everything zen
I don't think so
Try to see it once my way
Everything zen, everything zen
I don't think so
02. Swim
Could not believe, came here today
Helmet was on, you blew me away
House is on fire, we're naked again
Maybe all we need is water and friends
Shackles and chains won't keep me away
Temple is you and my brow is insane
I wanna be just like you
I wanna feel right through you
I wanna see just with you
I wanna live, I wanna die you
Thinning ice, 14 hairdryers
I'm swimming to you, flame on earth desire
Poor on the rise, rich on the fall
This cripple's with you, fame is a whore
I wanna be just like you
I wanna feel right through you
I wanna see just with you
I wanna live, I wanna die you
I wanna fit inside you
I wanna room inside you
If money talks, I wanna buy you
I wanna die, I wanna die
I wanna live you
I'm not scared of you, could give up on drugs
If I make it through the jaws of love
The jaws of love
I wanna be just like you
I wanna feel right through you
I wanna see just with you
I wanna die
I wanna live you
I wanna fit inside you
I wanna room inside you
If money talks, if money talks
If money talks, if money talks
You give and you give and you give
03. Bomb
Wanted to buy you shiny red things
Thought I'd be with you until the end
How did I know that I would be there
Blow me away, see if I care
Death of a future, goodbye to my friends
Wish I would see you all again
Family hollow, family real
Wish you were here, see how I feel
Oh, kill a man
Oh, kill a girl
Jekyll in you brings out the wired in me
I have no defense, I'm all that you see
The night is a bomb blast, the night is on fire
Sing with me in the gasoline choir
Oh, kill a man
Oh, kill a girl
And you say you want to change our minds
I've paid for your belief with mine
Of all the bravest stands in time
You stoop so low, you'll never rise
04. Little Things
I bleach the sky, every night
Loaded on wrong, and further from right
Spinning around, two howling moons
'Cause they're always there, whatever I do
The river is loaded, I've been there today
Took in some questions, she does me again
I'd die in your arms, if you were dead too
Here comes a lie, we will always be true
Going up when coming down
Scratch away, way, way, way, way
It's all the little, things that kill
Tearin' at my, brains again
Oh, all the little, things that kill
The little things that kill
The bigger you give, bigger you get
We're boss at denial, but best at forget
The cupboard is empty, we really need food
Summer is winter and you always knew
Going up when coming down
Scratch away, way, way, way, way
It's all the little things that kill
Tearin' at my brains again
Oh, all the little things that kill
Tearin' at my brains again
I touch your mouth, my willy is food
Addicted to love, I'm addicted to fools shit
I kill you once, I kill you again
We're starving and crude, welcome my friends
To the little things that kill
Tearin' at my brains again
Oh, all the little things that kill
Tearin' at my brains again
Here come the little things
05. Comedown
Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows, never will
Mostly me, but mostly you
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need again
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time
There is no blame, only shame
When you beg, you just complain
The more I come, the more I try
All police are paranoid
So am I, so's the future
So are you, be a creature
What do you say, do you do
When it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time
Shoot up, shoot up
Shoot up, you're high
Love and hate, get it wrong
She cut me right back down to size
Sleep the day, let it fade
Who was there to take your place
No one knows, never will
Mostly me but mostly you
What do you say, do ya do
When it all comes down
'Cause I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this time to find out what I need
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
It's taken me all this, all this time
Why did you, why did you, why did you, why did you
Come down
I don't want to come back down from this cloud
06. Body
Hush child, lay your sweet lips on me
This greed, bigger than you and me
Will you come again, body
Tongue tied and a visceral third degree
Feel warm, center of gravity
Wash us all away, body never lies
Will you come again
Will we stay friends
Oh you paralyze
Oh you paralyze
There are times when I wish that I was you
Thick skinned, cities that you drive me through
Better than me, you're a woman
Seven days and my system is free again
We rise, lose it on oblivion
Falling all away, I'm sorry for the way
Your child is on fire
Will you come again
Will we stay friends
Oh you paralyze
Oh you paralyze
Will you come again
Will we stay friends
Will you come again
Will we stay, will we stay, will we stay
Lick these, my ruby lips
Drop your protein pills
Better just to lose yourself
We kiss, we kiss, we kiss
Pretty words could never say
Falling all away
Will you come again
Will we stay friends
Will we stay
07. Machinehead
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Tied to a wheel, my fingers got to feel
Bleedin' through a tourniquet smile
I spin on a whim, I slide to the right
I felt you like electric light
For our love, for our fear
For our rise against the years, and years, and years
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red
I walk from my machine
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in
Deaf, dumb and thirty, starting to deserve this
Leaning on my conscience wall
Blood is like wine, unconscious all the time
If I had it all again I'd change it all
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red, yeah
I walk from my machine
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe out
Breathe in, breathe in, breathe in
Got a machinehead it's better than the rest
Green to red, machinehead
Got a machinehead, it's better than the rest
Green to red
Better than the rest
Better than the rest
Machinehead, head, head, head, head, head
I walk from my machine
08. Testosterone
I'm a man
I'm real proud of my manhood
I like to smoke
Ten thousand cigarillos
Eight ball
I could climb any fountains
I never cry
I only bawl when I'm losing
And I've never been wrong
Never been wrong
I'm looking so good
Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold bullet
And I guess you could say
I'm real full of it
Full of it
I'm real straight
You wanna see my peccadillos
Hot dog, 7:30 every morning
And I'm big into war
I am a whore
Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold bullet
And I guess you could say
I'm real full of it
You're real full of it
I shave with Gillette
And I'm patting my back
Got a big gold gun
Got a big gold bullet
And I guess you could say
I'm real full of it
09. Monkey
The mind is all, we kiss everything
We say we love, it's the skin we're in
You're a retrograde, a vacancy
You're the one I love, the hate in me
Lazy day on a darker breed
To have is not what it's made to be
You come alone on a mass attack
Sucking your tantric suck
Fooling your one-eyed cat
We don't mind
We deviate our gravy brains
Set 'em on fire, they're all the same
I am lionface, no sancho panza
I'm riddled by you, I could've been better
We don't mind
I'm a monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Your monkey, monkey, monkey
You take such pretty photos
When will you be worthy of your good side
Where will you be when the clouds break
And it all takes just a little more than you have
We don't mind
I'm a monkey on a drip
Sucker monkey on a drip
Your monkey, monkey, monkey
10. Glycerine
It must be your skin I'm sinkin' in
It must be for real, 'cause now I can feel
And I didn't mind; it's not my kind
It's not my time, to wonder why
Everything gone white, everything's grey
Now you're here, now you're away
I don't want this; remember that
I'll never forget, where you're at
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine, glycerine
I'm never alone; I'm alone all the time
Are you at one, or do you lie?
We live in a wheel, where everyone steals
But when we rise, it's like strawberry fields
If I treated you bad, you'd bruise my face
Couldn't love you more; you've got a beautiful taste
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you
I couldn't change, though I wanted to
Should have been easier by three
Our old friend, fear, and you, and me
Glycerine, glycerine
Don't let the days go by, glycerine
Don't let the days go by
Glycerine, glycerine
Oh, glycerine, glycerine
Bad moon whine again
Bad moon whine again
As she falls around me
I needed you more, we wanted us less
Could not kiss, just regress
It might just be clear, simple, and plain
Well that's just fine; that's just one of my names
Don't let the days go by
Could have been easier on you, you, you
Glycerine, glycerine
Glycerine, glycerine
11. Alien
The satellite comes and goes
We give each other all we know
In silence we still talk
By the light of the stereo we waltz
And will you rain down
In your cinematic love truck
I'm gonna hold you like
Nothing's gonna stop us
And she comes to take me away
She's all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover
No
Flicker on a TV screen
Everything's more than it seems
The mighty backward fall
We stare at the light on the wall
And I swear to this
She felt like velvet
Second blonde child
Like velvet, velvet
And she comes to take me away
She's all that I needed
I don't breathe another lover
Uh
I'm an alien, you're an alien
It's a beautiful rain, a beautiful rain
I'm an alien, you're an alien
It's a beautiful rain, a beautiful rain
When she come around again
Around again
12. X-Girlfriend
You only call me when you're down
