Made It Home
I was born in the wrong body
Nineteen fifty nine
Lived in a house with all the wrong people
T.Rex my lifeline
I'd go to sleep and wish that I’d wake up
One day in July in two thousand nine
I did it
I went to see a miracle worker
West eighteen and nine
Planted the seed to my future
Gave me the pills to cure my ills
Set me free to burn brightly
Look in my eyes there ain’t no disguise
Dig it
Well well well well well
I made it home
When Spring Is In Your Eyes
When spring is in your eyes
It’s time to get acquainted
With everything you’ve been denying
Put on your party dress
Come dancing with me tonight
Kiss that man goodbye
Go out and see the rainbow
Don’t pray for an unhappy ending
Put on your party dress
Come dancing with me tonight
Beg steal or borrow
A brighter tomorrow
Be done with that uncertainty
He’s just a chancer
We’ve got the answer
To guarantee cohabitibility
Fairy tales come true
I’ve seen it in the movies
Slip into those ruby red shoes
Put on your party dress
Come dancing with me tonight
When spring is in your eyes darling
Come dancing with me tonight
Agony
My mother is adrift in incest far and wide
My father is a violent bane
Please get me outta here before I lose my mind
Dear Jane
My teachers all ignore my tears and pass me by
My world is full of thugs and pain
The only option left to me seems suicide
Please help me in my agony
Dear Jane
Esther Rantzen tells me to call Childline
I’m worried that it might be traced
They’ll beat me and they’ll beat me till the lights go out
Dear Jane
I tried Samaritans only the other day
Their line was constantly engaged
I hope you get my letter ‘cause I’m bound to die
Please help me in my agony
Dear Jane
My Little Kleptomaniac
My little kleptomaniac
Said she’s gonna start to give things back
Gave her many pieces of my mind
Says she can’t find them anywhere
Swears she’s gonna give me back my heart
Less she really couldn’t care they say
My little kleptomaniac
Stole my heart away
My little petty larcenist
Said she’s gonna steal away a kiss
Though she’s got one on a photograph
Needs another for the video
The one she stole while I was in the bath
Later found contained the film we made
My little petty larcenist
Stole my kiss away
Stuck up a gum tree
Fell in a heap
Stolen away from the factory floor
Boys in blue came and called the police
They’re all trying to implicate me
I just wanna be free
Like Me
Sometimes
I feel like throwing an ashtray through the TV screen
But I
I’m still owing some cash
Say what do you have to do to be worry free
Maybe I’ll just kill somebody
Sometimes
I feel like I’m in control of my own destiny
But I
I’m just kidding myself
Say what do you have to do to be worry free
Maybe I’ll just kill somebody
Like me
Giants
In the back of mind
Only destined to be
Pressed into memory
Two hundred yards
A million miles away
Pushed to the fore
But you always were
Otherwise engaged
Yesterday and today
Are a lifetime away
My heart is screaming
The angels aren’t here
My carpet’s bleeding
i’m feeding on needing
And you can
But you can’t
Can’t hear
This story of giants
This no non event
Each precious moment
Is valuable
I love you
Action Right Here Right Now
Daylight
Happy
Smiling
Faces
Safe now
They’ve washed away their sin
Night time
Out of
Hiding
Comes
A monster
The enemy within
Preacher man
Oh preacher man
Make an escape
As fast as you can
Invent for me
A way to be free
So I can do my worst
And emerge soul clean
Suffer little children while they do you harm
We’ll be waiting for you when the daylight comes
In the Magic Kingdom secret shields come down
We need action right here right now
You’re A Woman Now
Sit down
Catch your breath a while
You’ve been running such a long time
Unpack your sunshine smile
Drugs and drinking
Done and done
Took a Jumbo back to London
Now life its just begun
Mister man you’re a woman now
The older you get
The faster time flies
So have no regret
Open up your eyes
Come out of the cold
Step into the light
Lift up your heart
Don’t say goodbye
