Sun Sex Sand & Charlie Chan

Lyrics

Cinnamon Garden

I Stand by you, You walk through fields on your own, And I watch as your flowers grow, As you pick them on your own , Cause I loved You, And You loved me Too, Stay Away from me, I walk alone, You will love me on your own, Cause I Loved You, And You Ohh ! loved me Too, Cause I loved You, And You loved me Too, Life in the Cinnamon garden all alone, Life in the Cinnamon garden all alone, Life in the Cinnamon garden all alone, Life in the Cinnamon garden all alone,

Bake the last piece for me

Thoughts escape my mind, I erase the blind, Feelings cover over me. Say `amour’ `per say’, Seems that I’ve lost my way, And the time has turned past three. I will wait inside for you, All the windows signed in Blue, And I have made up my mind, All these windows signed, Babe. And bake the last piece for me. Battered Payne’s of glass, Shattered memories last, Sell your soul for a ride. Take the Bus with me, We will take, it can’t you see.

Shogun

Here am I, all alone in the face of despair, Tried to give up on my emotions, Can’t help thinking about the things that I did to you, You were dealing some cards badly that day. So I jumped upon my Motorcycle, just drove away, Played the cards I was given as night turned to day, Put on the siren, loaded the gun, And I let the wind blow in my face, Cursed all those disciples as they all fell down on me. Here am I, all drunk in need of repair, Tried to live up to my righteous fears as they say, Can’t help thinking about the orders you gave me all the time, That the man I gave was short in some way. So I jumped upon my Motorcycle, just drove away, Played the cards I was given as night turned to day, Put on the siren, loaded the gun, And I let the wind blow in my face, Cursed all those disciples as they all fell down on me. The Shogun will fall down on me, The Shogun will fall you will see, The Shogun will fall down some time, All that I ask is that you find it in time.

Flange Puppy

Too many bongs too many cigarettes, Night is long and I can’t forget, Remember where I left my head, Seedy ceilings painted blue, I must have gone down on you, And the flange puppy inside of me, On the lips baby I'll set you free, And the flange puppy inside of me, Oh come on babe, let it happen, Too many bongs too many cigarettes, Seems the tide is gone and I’m a wreck, See you sailing inside of me, Oh come on babe, just let it happen.

All you sinners

By the light you wait there for me, By the light you sit there for me, Start the fight I know what you’ll see, In the night my life, eternity, So all you sinners there watching over me, All you sinners there living on the streets, All you sinners my life will pass you by, Save your sinning for the beat, And the Daylight comes you wait there for me, In the Daylight comes your thoughts are sent to me, So all you sinners there watching over me, All you sinners there living on the streets, All you sinners there my life will pass you by, Don’t Save your sinning for me

Sex, Drugs & Lies come to play

Our World is diminishing, day by day, The powers to be, let them have their own way, To face this we will all have to pray, The demons one by one are all taking them away. Our kids are falling, day by day, We can’t let them have their own way, To face this we will all have to say, This happens when Sex, drugs & lies come to play. Our World is helpless, helpless to say, The drugs are fed to them day by day, Their young they don’t know how to stay, Keep the dealers from feeding them that way. Our kids are helpless wouldn’t you say, We can’t tell them how to play, Please God give them strength to say, No! when Sex, drugs & lies come to play. Sex, Drugs and lies you say, Steals our souls in vein, Bored as hell you say, I want more today- he Our kids are falling, day by day, We can’t let them have their own way, To face this we will all have to say, This happens when Sex, drugs & lies come to play. Sex, Drugs and lies you say, Steals our souls in vein, Bored as hell you say, I want more today

Many Wander through this land

Falling asleep, My head’s on fire, This Train will carry, My Desires, Many wander through this land. Slowly burning, A little bridge of desire, I walk in slowly, Walk the camp fire, Many wander through this land, I know the lakes on fire, It’s my desire to free your soul, Take over the bridge for me, I’m the sea so save your body now Many wander through this land.

Lax-a-daz-ical

My mind weeps, Your Forests bleed, Government, it don’t care, The Birds grow on the carpet of a man, Watching as they flow, And they say I’m Lax-a-daz-ical, But I’m not pulling that stuff from the ground, And they say I’m Lax-a-daz-ical, But I’m not pulling that stuff from the ground, So my mind weeps, As our Forests bleed, Dam Government, Profit is their care, The Birds grow on the carpet in a dam While Uranium is pulled from the ground, And you say I’m Lax-a-daz-ical, But I’m not pulling that stuff, But I’m not pulling that stuff, from the ground, from the ground, from the ground, from the ground

Over my glory now

Tell that chain its dragging me down, Filings shattered messages underground, From where I lay I said I’d write, Count down the stairs to fall from fright. I watched the saucer fly through space, And guide my light to find this taste, Green with envy and shimmering might, Can the old equation sit well tonight, Over my Glory now, Over this well I know, Over my Glory now, I found somewhere to go. Over my Glory now, Over this well I know, Over my Glory now, I found somewhere to go. Over the fledgling seal the plight, And catch my glory tonight if you're right, Then the rivers run ends with me, And a tidal system will set you free, I said I found somewhere is mine, Tell me, tell me that I’m not salvaging time.

Wasted peace of mind

The train came in a couple of hours late, The guard gave the sign, Yeah. Smoke filled the station, people catching time And I was left there in wasted peace of mind. The crowds pushed from way behind, And the ticket collectors yelled, Yeah, The scene from a movie we can all define, And I looked up to see a Wasted peace of mind, The Down town shook like the ship lost ashore, As I came out from the graze, Tall buildings froze the warm air, And my hands felt a wasted peace of mind. But why do I do this day to day, All the signs destroy me, I can taste the sweet in each living day, But oh God this is killing me. The cars rested as they drove down the street, And the fumes touched me, Yeah, The tree that I found was leaning on me, As I breathed a Wasted peace of mind

Net-Quest

My quest was the Internet just the other day, My fingers stroked the keyboard, moulding it like clay, I sent an earthly signal sent it far away, A message came back, said her name was Jay, She sounded like an Alien from this place far away, Said she’d see me soon before the light of day, I curled up in the corner I couldn’t believe my luck, Maybe she’s coming here to give me a (beeped out) I turned of the computer, pulled the plug from the wall, I looked around to see, if there was some place to fall, Like a bolt of lightning, the room became alight, She stood there with a grin , a large goulash site, Her face looked right at me she wanted me to see, The Alien in her which wasn’t part of me, And within a millisecond she had her clothes all off, To shake her humongous bossism all around my loft. Come down meet me see If you’d want me, I can make you very happy, Come down meet me see If you’d want me, I can make you very happy, Oh No! A horrible experience, I just can’t explain, I felt my head melting, a sense of earthly pain I felt around the corner , looking for my Mum, To wake from this nightmare, and stop from turning numb, Ohh no, no, no, no Come down meet me see If you’d want me, I can make you very happy, Come down meet me see If you’d want me, I can make you very happy, Oh No! The moral to this story, is not to play you see, With electronic equipment, with sensitivity, And if you call them up just you wait and see, You’ll have overgrown Aliens , looking for a feed Ohh no, no, no, no Ohh no, no, no, no

Sublime

As I close my eyes, All the feelings are sublime And the Oceans deep, As I swim through Coral blinds. And I see you close to me I reach out to set you free, Babe, Babe And I see you close to me, I reach out to set you free, Babe, Babe. As I close my eyes All the feelings are sublime And the Sky is so far away, We should fly there today, He, He And I touch you next to me I reach out to set ! you free, Babe, Babe.

High above the trees

Build your Web, High above the Trees, Late at night, to hide your needs, And wait till night time comes, To catch you’re prey, Cause when the morning comes, And the Sun is strong, You become the prey, Of another day, Where is the moon I know, I know, I need it now, What is the time It must, It must, be time to build it now, And I know, I know, I know, I know, I feel it now, I must, I must, be strong enough to build it now, And wait till night time comes, To catch my prey, Cause when the morning comes, And the Sun is strong, The Birds will look for me, High above the trees,
