Angel

Horace Andy
you are my angel
come from way above
to bring me love

her eyes
she's on the dark side
neutralize every man in sight

love you, love you, love you...

you are my angel
come from way above

love you, love you, love you...


Risingson

3d
i seen you go down to a cold mirror
it was never clearer in my error
you click a shine upon your forehead or
check it by the signs in the corridor
you light my ways through the club maze
we would struggle through the dub daze

i sink myself in hair upon my lover
it's how you go down to men's room sink
sad we talk how madmen think
i sink myself in hair upon my lover
i don't know her from another miss
i don't know you from another
see me run now you're gone...dream on

Daddy G
why you want to take me to this party and breathe
i'm dying to leave
every time we grind you know we sever lines
where have all those flowers gone
long time passing
why you keep it testing, keep on tasking
i keep on asking

3d
toy-like people make me boy-like(x2)
they're invisible, when the trip it flips
they get physical, way below my lips
an' everything you got hoi-poloi like
now you're lost and you're lethal
now's a fine time, you gotta leave all
these good people...dream on

nicer than the bird up in the tree top
cheaper than the chip inside my lap top
all the variations you could do with me
nicer than the girl up in your mind you're free

Daddy G
automatic crystal remote control, we come to move your soul

3d
you kinda fade into the background
like a better smoke'll bring you back round
like a man slide inside you my dear
your cheap beer's filled with crocodile tears
see 'em run now your gone...dream on

i found a reason
toy-like people make me boy-like (x2)
dream on

Teardrop


Liz Fraser
(love)love is a verb
love is a doing word
feathers on my breath
gentle impulsion
shakes me makes me lighter
feathers on my breath

teardrop on the fire
feathers on my breath

in the night of matter
black flowers blossom
feathers on my breath
black flowers blossom
feathers on my breath

teardrop on the fire
feathers on my breath

water is my eye
most faithful my love
feathers on my breath
teardrop on the fire of a confession
feathers on my breath
most faithful my love
feathers on my breath

teardrop on the fire
feathers on my breath

stumbling a little (x2)


Inertia Creeps

3d
recollect me darling raise me to your lips
2 undernourished egos 4 rotating hips
hold on to me tightly i'm a sliding scale
can't endure then you can inhale
clearly out of body experience
interferes and dreams of flying i fit nearly
surrounds me though i get lonely
slowly

moving up slowly
inertia keeps
she's moving up slowly
slowly
moving up slowly
interia creeps
moving up slowly
she comes moving up slowly
she comes moving up slowly
inertia creeps
moving up slowly
she comes
moving up slowly (x2)

in my home no chrome as clear as
see me now with my nearest dearest
been there when i'm over-careering
room shifting is endearing
between us is our kitchen
where she finds my irritant's itching
been here before been here forever

moving up slowly
inertia keeps moving up slowly
inertia creeps moving up slowly
inertia keeps moving up slowly
she comes
moving up slowly (x2)
she comes moving up slowly
inertia creeps moving up slowly

she comes
there be no sound in my eiderdown
awake i lie in the morning blue
room is still my antenna in you
nylon burns the bedspread with 2
gravity zero see me stall
i bounce off the walls lose my footing and fall
it can be sweet though incomplete though
and the frames will freeze see me on all 4's
it's been a long time

she comes (x2)
comes
i want to x you, she comes
i want to x you, she comes

i caught your radio waves
i caught your radio waves
with tin cans and string
say you string me along
say string me along

say inertia creeps
inertia creeps and she comes
say she comes (x4)

Dissolved Girl


Sara Jay
shame
such a shame
i think i kind of lost myself again

day
yesterday
really should be leaving but i stay

say
say my name
i need a little love to ease the pain

it's easy to remember when it came
īcos it feels like i've been
i've been here before
and you're not my savior
but i still don't go
feels like something that i've done before
i could fake it but i still want more

fade
made to fade
passion's overrated anyway

say
say my name
i need a little love to ease the pain

it's easy to remember when it came
īcos it feels like i've been
i've been here before
and you're not my savior
but i still don't go
feels like something that i've done before
i could fake it but i still want more

Man Next Door


Horace Andy
there is a man that live next door
in my neighborhood
in my neighborhood
and he gets me down...

he gets in so late at night
always a fuss an' fight
always a fuss an' fight
all tru' the night

i've got to get away from here
this is not a place for me to stay
i've got to take my family
we'll find a quiet place

hear the pots and pans they fall
bang against my wall
bang against the wall
no rest at all

he gets in so late at night
always a fuss an' fight
always a fuss an' fight
all tru' the night

i've got to get away from here
this is not a place for me to stay
i've got to take my family
we'll find a quiet place


Black Milk


Liz Fraser
you're not my eater
i'm not your food
love you for good
love you for the ???

eat me in the space
within my heart
love you for good
love you for the ???


Mezzanine


3d
i'm a little curious of you in crowded scenes
and how serene your friends and fiends
we flew and strolled as 2 eliminated gently
why don't you close your eyes and reinvent me

Daddy G
you knew you had a heart made of stone
you should have let me know
you could have let me know

3d
we'll go till morning comes
and traffic grows
and windows hum

Daddy G
speding all week with your friends
give me evenings and weekends
evenings and weekends

3d
i could for yours
we can unwind
all these other flaws (x2)

you'd agree it's a typical high
you fly as you watch your name go by
and once the name goes by
not thicker than water nor thicker than mud
and the 8K thuds it does
sunset so quickly
let's make it quiet and quickly
don't frown
tastes better on the way back down

i care for yours
we can unwind
all these other flaws (x3)
will lead to mine

all these other flaws (x2)
will lead to mine
all these other flaws (x2)
will see to
will lead to mine
we can unwind all our flaws (x2)


Group Four


3D
a flask i drink of sober tea
while relay cameras monitor me
and the buzz surrounds, it does
buzz surrounds, buzz surrounds

Liz Fraser
closed eyed sky wide open
unlimited girl unlimited sigh
elsewhere
indefinitely far away
magnifies and deepens

ready to sing
my sixth sense peacefully place on my breath
and listening

3D
keys swing from my hand

Liz Fraser
my ears know that my eyes are closed

3D
perish thoughts like contraband

i train myself in martial arts
as advertised
i reinforce my softened parts
as advertised

Liz Fraser
seen through me little glazed lane
a world in myself
ready to sing
my sixth sense peacefully place on my breath

3D
flickering i roam

Liz Fraser
and listening
my ears know that my eyes are closed
ready to sing
my sixth sense peacefully place on my breath

3D
flickering i roam

Liz Fraser
and listening
my ears know that my eyes are closed

3D
i see to bolts, put keys to locks
no boats are rocked, i'm free to roam
among dummy screens and magazines

Liz Fraser
closed eyed sky wide open
unlimited girl unlimited sigh

3D
to think I lay next to you
wasting time when I could do
a simple job in striplight
a flask I drink of sober tea
til daylight sends me home
flickering I roam

Liz Fraser
daydreaming admiring being
quietly, open the world
i hear the time
of the starry sky
turning over at midnight
seen through me little glazed lane
a world in myself
daydreaming admiring being
quietly, open the world
i hear the time of the starry sky
turning over at midnight

Horace Andy
yeah yeah yeah
you see a man's face
but you don't see his heart
you see a man's face
but you will never know his thoughts

everywhere you go
there's a man to say love
never neither never neither
take it to heart

for heart is your heart
and your thoughts is your thoughts
never mix love with hatred

you see a man's face
you will never see his heart
you see a man's face
but you will never know his thoughts
you see a man's face
you will never know his thoughts
