A NEW AGE I HOPE'S BEGUN, PREJUDICE NOW ON THE RUN
YET THERE'S ONE BREED MOST STILL HATE,
IT'S BECAUSE THEIR GIFT'S INNATE
THEY HAVE IT ALL, THEY GET EACH BREAK,
BUT EVERY ONE'S A FAKE
PRETTY PEOPLE SIMPLY VILE, KNOW JUST HOW TO USE A SMILE
PRETTY PEOPLE LIKED BY ALL, THEY'D BE FIRST AGAINST MY WALL
EXCUSED ALL BY ALL OF US, SADLY 'TWAS FOREVER THUS
CAST AS AD MEN'S BOURGEOISIE, THEY'RE WHAT WE'D ALL RATHER BE
THEY HAVE WHAT SELLS, SO TALL AND THIN
AND WE'RE ALL TAKEN IN
PRETTY PEOPLE ALWAYS COOL, LIFE WAS EASY ALL THRO' SCHOOL
PRETTY PEOPLE FILL OUR SCREENS, SO MUCH LESS THAN WHAT THEY SEEM
TIME WITH THEM IS SO MISSPENT, THEIR ROLE’S JUST TO ORNAMENT
ALWAYS GETTING ALL THE LUCK, PRETTY PEOPLE, PRETTY PEOPLE,
PRETTY PEOPLE SUCK!!

YOU THINK WE’RE MATCHED I’LL SAY NOT QUITE,
WHEN YOU SAY BLACK I'LL SOON SAY WHITE
I’LL NEVER LET YOU PLAY THE KNIGHT,
AND ALL YOUR JOKES I’LL SAY ARE TRITE
I CAN’T WAIT TO SAY THAT IT’S NOT ALRIGHT,
ON YOUR EVERY FAULT I’LL SHINE ARC LIGHT
LITTLE MISS KRYPTONITE
YOU’LL TRY YOUR BEST AND YET DESPITE
YOUR COOLING WORDS I'LL SOON IGNITE
EACH ROW I'LL TRY TO KEEP A LIGHT, NOT HAPPY 'TIL I WIN OUTRIGHT
NEVER PLEASED WHEN YOU ARE BURNING BRIGHT,
I'LL SOON BLOW OUT YOUR PILOT LIGHT
LITTLE MISS KRYPTONITE
MISS KRYPTONITE, GIVE NO REPRIEVE,
JUST GRIND THEM DOWN, ‘COS SOON THEY’LL LEAVE
WITH EVERY ROW I'LL LAND A BITE, WHICH LINGERS LIKE A TOXIC MITE
TO KEEP YOU ITCHING THRO' THE NIGHT, SUCH IS THE POISON OF MY SPITE
WITH MY GAVEL POISED I WILL SOON INDICT,
SENDING YOU STRAIGHT DOWN FOR ANY SLIGHT
LITTLE MISS KRYPTONITE

PICKING THRU THE PROFILES, THIS GUY LEAPT OFF THE SCREEN
TALL AND DARK NEAR CENTRAL PARK, I COULDN'T FAULT ONE GENE
WE SOON WERE SWAPPING EMAILS, HE SEEMED SO DEBONAIR
SOON I HAD CONVINCED MYSELF, THIS ONE MIGHT JUST CARE
GOOD ODDS BUT ODD GOODS, PLYING THEIR WARES,
HOPE MEETS DECEPTION, CUPID DESPAIRS
IT CAME TO OUR FIRST PHONE CALL, HIS VOICE MADE ME MELT,
WITTY WITHOUT ARROGANCE, ON EVERY WORD I DWELT,
HE TOLD ME HE’D BEEN SINGLE FOR JUST ABOUT A YEAR,
THAT’S HE’S READY TO COMMIT, IT ALL SEEMED SO SINCERE
GOOD ODDS BUT ODD GOODS, PROFILES ON SHOW,
FLATTERING PHOTOS, SHOT LONG AGO
SOON MY FIRST DATE BECKONED, I GOT IN SUCH A STATE
THE BAR WAS CALLED THE LOVER’S LAIR, SO I THOUGHT ‘THIS IS FATE’
THE MOMENT THAT HE SHOWED UP, I FELT PART OF A STING
THIS OLDER, BALD GUY WANDERED IN, WITH HIS WEDDING RING
GOOD ODDS BUT ODD GOODS, WITH EACH LOG ON,
IT JUST CONFIRMS THE GOOD ONES HAVE GONE!!

BASKING ON THIS BEACH TODAY, I SMILE AND WATCH THE CHILDREN PLAY
AND THINK OF ALL THOSE MEN WHEN THEY,
LAID DOWN THE LIVES WE LAZE AWAY
SEASIDE STROLLS WHERE DEATH KNELLS TOLLED, AT ARROMANCHES
LAUGHTER FROM A CRASHING WAVE, ANGRY MUMS WHEN NONE BEHAVE
WE ALL FORGET HOW MUCH THEY GAVE,
AS THEY WENT EARLY TO THEIR GRAVE
SEASIDE STROLLS WHERE DEATH KNELLS TOLLED, AT ARROMANCHES
HISTORY IS LEFT UNSAID, PICNICS EATEN TABLOIDS READ
AS YOU LIE SNOOZING OVER-FED, REMEMBER ONCE THE SEAS RAN RED
AT ARROMANCHES
NOT FOR THEM THESE FAMILY TRIPS,
SOME NEVER LEFT THEIR LANDING SHIPS
OR GOT DRAGGED UNDER BY THE RIPS,
BLOOD NOT ICE-CREAM ON THEIR LIPS
SEASIDE STROLLS WHERE DEATH KNELLS TOLLED, AT ARROMANCHES
LET US HOPE WHEN THEY LOOK DOWN,
ON FRACAS AT THIS SEASIDE TOWN
THE FREEDOM THAT THEY SEE'S OUR GAIN
MIGHT MEAN THEIR DEATHS WERE NOT IN VAIN, AT ARROMANCHES

FOR THOSE WHO CLIMB THE GREASY POLE,
THEIR LIVES ON PERMANENT PAROLE
THEY HOLD ON TIGHT FOR EMPTY GOALS
THEN SLIDE STILL FURTHER FROM THEIR SOUL
SPACE DUST IS WHAT WE ARE, ALL OF US AND EVERY STAR
FLOATING LIKE GOSSAMER, WE’RE ALL BORN FROM NEBULA!
DON'T PRAISE YOURSELF FOR ALL YOU GAIN
AS THIS WILL LEAD YOU TO DEFAME
ALL OTHERS IN A FLAWED BLAME GAME
REGARD US ALL AS JUST THE SAME
SPACE DUST IS WHAT WE ARE, ALL OF US AND EVERY STAR
FLOATING LIKE GOSSAMER, WE’RE ALL BORN FROM NEBULA!
ONE FORCE, ONE ENERGY, NOT A SINGLE ABSENTEE
WE'RE ALL COSMIC DEBRIS, JUST THIS TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE…
SPACE DUST IS WHAT WE ARE, ALL OF US AND EVERY STAR
PUTS US ALL ON EQUAL PAR, GIVE IT UP AND LEARN SITAR!
TO FEVERED EGOS NEAR AND FAR, SPACE DUST’S REALLY ALL WE ARE!

Your Cold Heart

TWICE YOU HAVE TAKEN THE BREATH RIGHT OUT OF ME
ONCE WHEN OUR EYES MET, NOW IT'S AS YOU LEAVE
GASPING AND EMPTY, RAGE RISES IN THE VOID
I HATE HOW YOU SMILED, I HATE YOUR NEW START,
AND NOW MOST OF ALL, I HATE YOUR COLD HEART
NOW HINDSIGHT TELLS ME HOW EMPTY WAS OUR PACT
ALL THOSE SWEET NOTHINGS, EACH I NOW REDACT
BURN ALL MEMENTOS, DENY I EVER CARED
I HATE YOUR WISE WORDS, I HATE YOU'RE SO SMART
AND NOW MOST OF ALL, I HATE YOUR COLD HEART
RAGE IS ALL I FEEL RIGHT NOW, YOU HAVE DARKENED ALL MY LIGHT
CAN'T PREDICT HOW I'LL BEHAVE, BEST STAY OUT OF SIGHT
I WAS A SIDESHOW WHILE YOU WERE THE MAIN ACT
CAST AS AN EXTRA, LEFT TO RE-ENACT,
AND NOW MY ANGER, IT ENTERS CENTRE STAGE
J’AIMAIS, L’ILLUSION, LE REVE, L’EMULSION BREVE, TES TREVES, TES PEINES
PLUS RIEN A FAIRE DE CETTE SEVE, QUI COULE DANS NOS VEINES
J’ETAIS LE FEU-FOLLET FROLANT LA FOULE EXALTEE
PUIS CE PACT QUI IMPACT TES MOTS INEXACTES ET
LA PARESSES DES GESTES LES CARESSES SANS LE RESTE
TON COEUR FROID MAINTENANT LOIN DE MOI, MA RAGE S’EN VA AVEC TOI
