Living In Polaroid
Breathing in, spitting out
The bittersweet sugar of life
It used to taste better
Sucking in, pulling in
Emotions I just can't hide
Cheap smiles and promises
Cause we're polaroid
We're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
Hanging on, holding on
To cables inside my mind
Cut loose and crashing in
Serenade, the volume raise
Breaking glass heads and hands
I can't go on living
Cause we're polaroid
We're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
Polaroid, she's living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid, paranoid
You gotta set me free
You gotta set me free
You gotta set me free
Polaroid, we're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
She's polaroid, we're living in polaroid
Polaroid, it's making me paranoid
Polaroid (polaroid, polaroid, polaroid...)
She's my polaroid
Polaroid, it's missing in polaroid

I'm definitely a Polaroid camera girl. For me, what I'm really excited about is bringing back the artistry and the nature of Polaroid.
Number One Camera
number one camera so here i go i know this feeling
awfully well i could build a camera custom made
to tape record the smell of the perfume that we
used to share until you spilled it on the floor what
more could anybody ask for i remember you in
polaroid the glitter and the glue and all that noise i
should probably sort of miss you but i see you all the
time in polaroid up up and away in my beautiful
cliche i have wasted too much precious time
pretending i'm o.k. i better get out of the kitchen
next time when i can not stand the heat my feet
were colder than the hebrides we were bored
there was nothing else to do playing records and
posing in the nude it was dirty mind so it was cool
and i always thought i'd know you everybody knew
the score they knew they could not trust us but i
could peel you like a pear and god would call it
justice i guess there's nothing left to do but live
with just the memory of you i do in sixties pink and
light blue

At the time of Polaroid - and I did a couple of other commercials just before I stopped doing that stuff - at that point I was at the level where they respect you and your opinion and all that sort of thing.

We're going to shoot one Polaroid per show. I'm going to sign this before it even develops because I know that once it develops with my signature on it, it's worth a fortune. I'll make this a work of magic warlock art.

Cinderella Search
(derek dick, mark kelly, steve rothery, peter trewavas, ian mosley)
On the rebound, fumbling all the lines
The light at the end of the bottle - alcoholicalphabet
Through the looking glass
The proof in my own reflection
Five senses down and reeling on the cinderella search
On the rebound, fumbling all the lines
Decay on the vertical hold with a horizontal aim
Conversation needs translation
Three dimensions down dissolving on the cinderella search
Cinderella search
On the rebound, fumbling all the lines
Dreaming bartenders, bourbon and saxophone
Out of luck, out of charm, out the game of rejections in a cigarette city
Only courting the homing of direction on the cinderella search
Cinderella search
But the samaritan of the heartbroken, heartbroken
Swam through the nicotine seize, and we exchanged the kiss of life
Resurrection in a trance, the model, the grail, in a marquee of promises I touched the dream
I hold the dream, I have the dream
To end the cinderella search
Cinderella search, oh no more, no more!
Exposing bedside manners on a work extension
Awaiting development with paranoid polaroid eyes
Polaroid eyes
The footman memorised the number
But the prince still holds both the slippers
And would you leave a palace for a bedsit
And canterbury tales
Canterbury tales?
Maybe it was infatuation or the thrill of the chase
Maybe you were always beyond my reach and my heart was playing safe
But was that love in your eye I saw or the reflection of mine?
Give me time, wont you give me that time!
Welcome back to the circus
Welcome back to the circus
Welcome back to the circus
I always use the cue sheets but never the nets
Always the cue sheets but never the nets
Never the nets, never the nets, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless, nevertheless
Welcome back to the circus!

The Hand On The Door...
we burn our polaroid loves,
licking sulphur matches to remember.
every shadow, every line,
on the face borne by a name.
in paint peeled chairs by dirty windows,
clutching our knees,
and wringing our hearts.
in the still moment,
time's collector hesitates!
and the longing of the hips,
weeps down curtains stained.
when god and death take second place,
to the remembered scent of intimate touch.
are we ever anything more?
then the kiss in the moonlight,
and the hand on the door?

Satan Polaroid
The sea is never calm
it always blows and knows it too
but I'm alone
I'm alone in the satan polaroid
I said it always seems kinda strange
and the drinking has got under aged
i said it always seems kinda strange like a sad happiness
this is happiness and I fall
you said you feel so alone
(dont make me feel so alone)
you said you feel so alone
(don't make me feel so alone)
what makes you feel so alone?
(dont make me feel so alone)
so don't feel alone
The sea is never calm
it always blows and knows it too
but I'm alone
I'm alone in the satan polaroid
I said it always seems kinda strange
and the drinking has got under aged
it always seems kinda strange like a sad happiness
this is happiness and I fall
you said you feel so alone
(dont make me feel so alone)
you said you feel so alone
(don't make me feel so alone)
what makes you feel so alone?
(dont make me feel so alone)
so don't feel alone
(I look outside, I look outside,I look outside, I look out)
things would be scary if you didn't care about anything
I need to care about something
I need to care about something
I said it always seems kinda strange
and the drinking has got under aged
it always seems kinda strange like a sad happiness
this is happiness and I fall
you said you feel so alone
(dont make me feel so alone)
you said you feel so alone
(don't make me feel so alone)
what makes you feel so alone?
(dont make me feel so alone)
so don't feel alone
you see that
you're only young once in this world

Skyscraping
Its four oclock
And the bells are ringing
The sun is in the sky
I hear the song
That the breeze is bringing
I smile and close my eyes
Slowly drifting
Deeper and deeper inside
I hear your voice
Whispering softly
Were leaving the world outside
* just hold my hand
And well go skyscraping
So high you and i
If your mama asks you
Say were just escaping
Were gonna be sky high
Time flies
But I dont know where its going
You vanish in the haze
Sometimes I wish that life
Could be everlasting
These are our polaroid days
Slowly melting
The sun slips from the sky
I see your face
But its fading quickly
Were leaving the world behind
(* repeat 3 times)
Were gonna be sky high
You and me, so high
Its gonna be all right

Let George Do It
What's this fierce new change?
Has your juggernaut reached my door?
Am I out of range?
Think another thought before
Babies are ground up
In the last big round-up
Ease your head play it cool in a patio chair
Try to design a postcard from your mind
Piggy bank ooooo-whee
If it's Heaven-sent then you'll go far
Listen well to me
Smoke that 7 cent cigar
Can that rumble
And Avogadro's Number
[Chorus]
Polaroid galore
Snap my jelly roll
Count your change
For your midnight chore
Play that "sell-your-soul" exchange
Menthol filter tips
Danglin' from your nether lip
[Chorus]
If John Doe writes another book
With words that just won't quit
Why must I forge through it?
Let George do it

The dead souls stopped for a while at the Fairgrounds
The flower children throw popcorn
To the birds in an amusement park
And a Preacher with a hat
Screams to the stampede crowd.
'The World's end is coming soon! '
And a homeless is sleeping on a bench
Dreams how to get a Bank Loan
If everything is going to be finished?
The long hair Polaroid cameraman in blue jeans
Who took a photograph of the old couple with their walking sticks
And gave them the snap when it's almost dried.
The faces became a full blown love affair!
And really in doubt the photographer
The given hundred dollar bill is a fake.
He looks around in furor
And the old couple hand-in-hand
Their dress already changed
And they're walking towards
The nearby burial grounds!

Who are you today my brother?
I have a question for you my dear brother
Tell me..who are you today
We both know the reason I'm asking
You're health has left you this way
I ask myself the same question
The answer is always the same
But you my dear long lost brother
Its like playing a guessing game
Medication dulls all your senses
For most that's a terrible crime
But for you my dear younger brother
It brings you some quality time
You live in a clear social bubble
Unaffected by worldly strife
In your youth you were just my young brother
Now your lost for the rest of your life
You dont know when its me on the phone
Unaware of how old you are
I remember the days spent together
Working hard on your latest 'new' car
All thats left are some polaroid photos
Taken when we were having a laugh
All thats left of our time with each other
Memories fading every day not by half
Schizophrenia the name that it is given
To many it means not a thing
Yet to you and I my young brother
Its a term that means everything

You (Or Somebody Like You)
Outside my window, I swear on my mothers grave,
Faded out the street noise like a, out of focus polaroid,
So we shot the moon, and I cursed the wind,
Making me think that you were, here again,
Smoke and mirrors, somebody stole you away,
Thats the biggest conspiracy since, JFK,
So we combed the corners, and glass houses,
We got directions, but, never found it.
Well I'd trade in all the rest of my days,
Just the mere reflection of your face,
For one shining moment...
(Chorus:)
With you, somebody like you,
With you, somebody just like you,
We called inspectors, the cops and the CIA,
The drooch truck circles round, the places that we used to lay,
But nobody testified, not a single witness,
Swore i was crucified and, no forgiveness,
The sherriff sounded a lot like I was drunk and dangerous,
My hands were already tied, so he , put away his handcuffs,
And in the blindspot, I saw the silhouette,
Of a crazy man smoking , long black cigarette,
But I'd trade in all the rest of my days,
Your crooked smile, your wicked ways,
I'd fill up all this centre space,
(Chorus:)
With you, somebody like you,
With you, somebody just like you,
Oh you, somebody like you.. oh
Now I shoulda learned my lesson,
Done what I was told,
Shoulda counted all my blessings,
And my fingers and toes,
And now I'm, tripping like a blind man,
And searching high and low,
For you, somebody like you
For you, somebody just like you...
For you, somebody like you,
For you somebody just like you
Yeah... yeah somebody just like you
Somebody just like you...

Major Denial
You've got style
You've got class
You got a boyfriend that wants to kick my ass
I made him angry
I made him annoyed
When I sent you dirty pictures from my Polaroid
Sorry about the tracks on your lawn
For digging up the tree and abusing the horn
I didn't see him coming, he was moving too fast
Here's a hundred dollars for the body cast
[chorus]
We could get married in Las Vegas
I know that my mom would take us
Put it all on black
And let it burn
I went into the club downtown
We danced together till you turned around
And saw me in my Travolta pose
Then you kicked me in the nuts and you broke my nose
[chorus]
Cause it's so hard being me
Victim of your no good hipocracy
And I know one day you will see
That you're so damn lucky to be
With a guy like me
Can I say I'm feeling lonely
So do you think you could hang around and get to know me
Tell me things you'd like to show me
Tie me up like I'm a pony
Ride me to the moon
You can spank me till I'm black and blue and bleeding
[chorus]
Cause it's so hard being me
Victim of your no good hipocracy
And I know one day you will see
That you're so dman lucky to be

Somewhere In Hollywood
Down on the casting couch
A star is gonna be born
A star with the stature of a harlow
Whos doomed
And groomed to enrapture
All her co-stars, and stuntmen, the co-stars
Oh, let there be lights, action, sound
Lights, action, sound - roll 'em!
Out in the mezzanine
On the arm of a dumb marine
Her beauty looks out like a trailer
Norman mailer
Waits to nail her
Hes under the bed
And hes waiting for her to be dead
Hes out on the patio
With his polaroid and scenario
And hes armed and hes dangerously....
Close was the weather
When I was a kid
She gave me a feather from her gown
To cool me down, to cool me down
And I was the galley slave
Who lost his heart when the ship went down
Lights, action, sound
Roll 'em
I had a part in the talkies
When you were a little girl
Ive taken lassie for walkies
When she was the pup that vaudeville threw up
And destiny lead her
Hand in paw to somewhere
In hollywood
Thats crazy, a dog up in beverly hills
Crazy, crazy
La, la, la, la, la.... (you better lie low)

Caroline (demo 1)
Caroline says
Are you really sure that you know me
I never met you before, can i trust you
But she's never cautious, no, never, will she ever learn
Wil she always send her dreams and poems to imaginary people
And she's tough, yes, real tough
Standing right in front of the revelation
All of the big city lights may shine on her eternally
And caroline's eyes show feelings not from this world
And if some one asks her, where do you come from
She thinks for a while before she answers
I don't know, i really don't know
And she says, there's no destination on this spiral highway
I don't know, i really don't know
And she says, i can give you names but i can never give you answers
And she says, listen to the music of your soul
Follow where it's telling you to go, follow in the footsteps of your soul
Listen to the music, don't you know, it'll lead you where you what to be
It's playing there for you and me
Caroline says while looking at the polaroid in her hands
Isn't it strange to remember
And when she's out, she never locks the door, she is always like that
She could never ever cope with the real life of the ordinary people
And she says, hey, listen to this, i should be leaving here tomorrow
It's so cold in this city and there's not enough money in the streets
And caroline's eyes show feelings not from this world
And if some one asks her
Where do you go to, she thinks for a while before she answers
I don't know...

Three Boats Down From The Candy
(lyrics: derek dick)
Three boats down from the candy, vacant deckchairs on a floodlit beach
Three boats down from the candy, rollers coast invade the deepest sleep
Three boats down from the candy, carnal dancer let their senses preach
Its a social disease, its the new moral cancer
Dont think crying wolf will give you the answer
You ask for my love on the strength of a kiss
But cant you just play for experience?
Im a poet, Im a poet, Im a minstrel, Im a minstrel
I dont need your chains
Romance lies in ruin let debauchery reign, let it rain
Wipe the tears from your eyes, wipe the sweat from your thighs
Dont crawl to me with sentiment, my laughter drowns your cries
Youre a memory trapped on polaroid, a puppet drawn on celluloid
So drink the wine, confess your sin, just flotsam in a silent void
Three boats down from the candy
Ill remember you
Three boats down from the candy, much to much to lose
Three boats down from the candy, those words were never true
Three boats down from the candy
Ill remember you
Ill remember you
Ill remember you

Sins Of Memphisto
From the bells of St Mary
To the Count of Monte Cristo
Nothing can stop
Nothing can stop
Nothing can stop
The sins of Memphisto
Sally used to play with her hula hoops
Now she tells her problems to therapy groups
Grampa's on the front lawn staring at a rake
Wondering if his marriage was a terrible mistake
I'm sitting on the front steps drinking orange crush
Wondering if it's possible if I could still blush
Uh huh Oh yeah
A boy on a bike with courderoy slacks
Sleeps in the river by the railroad tracks
He waits for the whistle on the train to scream
So he can close his eyes and begin to dream
Uh huh Oh yeah
The hands on his watch spin slowly around
With his mind on a bus that goes all over town
Looking at the babies and the factories
And listening to the music of Mister Squeeze
As if by magic or remote control
He finds a piece of a puzzle
That he missed in his soul
Uh huh Oh yeah
Adam and Eve and Lucy and Ricky
Bit the big apple and got a little sticky
Esmeralda and the Hunchback of Notre Dame
They humped each other like they had no shame
They paused as they posed for a Polaroid photo
She whispered in his ear Exactly Odo Quasi Modo
