CCTV
Oh, damn big brother
I'd have gotten away
But for those pesky buggers
Chorus.
In flagrante delicto!
Pensé que estaba invicto
Oh, holy Benedicto

No closure in
My wedding gown
Indecent exposure
Zipper down
Chorus.
In flagrante delicto!
Pensé que estaba invicto
Oh, holy Benedicto

Garden Rocks

There's a hill in my garden
It's a teletubby wonderland
The tunnel underneath
Leads you to a fen
Where a shitty band is playing songs in 5/4 time
And the audience is pissing on the 'no pissing' sign
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
There are grapes in my garden
If you trapeze right along the vine it
Splits off into many forageable paths
One of which leads straight into a
Pool of sweet lysergic wine
It's mystical... but it tastes like pisstical.
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
Where's the weed killer, dear?
I want to play God
I want to hear them scream!
There's a hedgehog
In a Tesco bag
Nurturing her young
But she doesn't realise
That she's prey for the fox and the rats with scabies
Ah well, she's consumed too many
magic mushrooms to give a damn
There's a rock in my garden
That is home to a million
Strains of bacteria and several silverfish
Hiding 'neath the rock, a tiny man with features reptilian
giving me the finger
Such a naughty tiny man
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
My garden rocks
So come around and blow away your tryptophan blahs
In my garden
In my garden
I'm my garden
I'm my garden
You're my garden
You're my garden
Love my garden
Love my garden
Give me hardon

A Glass Eye For Detail

1.
Side glance from a lover once kissed
Made me feel like a leper with a blistered tongue
He said I was a masochist
Because I play complicated songs
If only he knew
If only he knew
But the only one who won't forgive me
Is the only one who matters
2.
Last chance with a hooker's wrist
She said "hurry up and finish"
'cause she ached like a Cupid
My role was diminished
When I lost my grip
And she became a solo artist
She fleshed out her lilies
With a storyteller's glue
I'm a snapped Achilles
If only she knew
3.
Sick note from an evangelist
Made me feel like a candle without a wick
He told me I was a fantasist
Living in Mitty-esque ignorant bliss
If only he knew
If only he knew...

Warm Dog

1.
Winner winner chicken dinner
Everyone's a winner except for the chicken
I once knew a girl who only loved sinners
I guess that made her ripe for the picking
Fingers in the sand
Half smile, black hand
Fingers in the sand
Chorus.
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
But all I ended up with
Was a three legged blind dog
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
And now it's raining red frogs
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
But all I ended up with
Was a three legged black dog
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
And now it's raining red frogs
2.
Jiggy jiggy little piggy
Everybody squeal in fake sympathy
Farmer does the abattoir dance with a stun gun
Everyone is having fun except for the bacon
Toes in the water
bricks and mortar
Tosin, your daughter
Chorus.
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
But all I ended up with
Was a three legged blind dog
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
And now it's raining red frogs
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
But all I ended up with
Was a three legged black dog
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
And now it's raining red frogs
Bridge.
Knock knock, who's there?
Cows go
Cows go who?
No, cows go moo
Moo moo what's new
Nothing, just waiting around for the bolt man to turn the screw
Chorus.
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
But all I ended up with
Was a three legged blind dog
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
And now it's raining red frogs
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
But all I ended up with
Was a three legged black dog
I didn't want a hot dog
I wanted a warm dog
And now it's raining red frogs

The Devil Take Over
01:58

1.
Malnourished bats cling dear life then capsize
Spread fear with colour of fanta eyes
Suckle on the sickle cell bees, you sick fuck
Drink visionary wine from a honeycomb cup
Chorus.
Tosin, took my life, and turned me Into a willing knife
Turned my truths to lies
2.
Mawkish farmers lament the destruction
Of industry, while I wave my erection
In recognition of a new direction
Those perverts cry when they can't get some
Chorus.
Tosin, took my soul
And turned me into an empty hole
Who does all that I'm told

Canary In The Mine
03:46

1.
Follow your dreams down into the mine
The canaries singing melodies from another time
They're lined up, subservient and reverent and dutiful
It's like something approaching the spiritual.
I'd love to take a shower, but
there aren't enough days in the hour
2.
The yellow suits in headlamps are
Watching Dutch pornography from the 1970's
Covered in black dust and governmental fallacies
They don't care that
They're working for criminal entities
I'd love to take a peek, but
There aren't enough months in the week
Black lung
Silver tongue
All the songs have now been sung
When the gas comes and turns us into micro bead diamonds
That make the worms bleed out inside canary stomach lining
Yellow bird distends and becomes the explosion
And sets another chain reaction in motion
I'd love to hold you near, but
There aren't enough decades in the year
