1.Bathysphere
When i was seven
I asked my mother
To trip me to the bay
And put me on a ship
And lower me down
Lower me out of here
Because when i was seven
I wanted to live in a bathysphere
Between coral
Silent eel
Silver swordfish
I can't really feel or dream down here
And if the water should cut my line (＊2)
Set me free
And if the water should cut my line
Set me free, i don't mind
I'll be the lost sailor, my home is the sea
When i was seven
My father said to me
'but you can't swim'
And i've never dreamed of the sea again
2.Wild Love
Wild love
Wild love
Somebody chopped down my wild love
Wild love
Wild love
Somebody shot down my wild love
3.Sweet Smog Children
Well come on
Sweet smog children, come on
Sweet smog children, come on
But i can't really talk to you
I can only sing
Sweet smog children, i can only sing for you
And i don't want to hear from you
Sweet smog children
It feels like i want to hear from you
But i don't really want to hear from you
Sweet smog children
I just want to touch you
Sweet smog children
Like the invisible man
Sweet smog children, come on
To be untouchable, come on
As only a child can, come on
Sweet smog children
4.Bathroom Floor
Bloody rag and a broken string of pearls
On your bathroom floor
When i overheard your mother say
'maybe she's just a late bloomer'
But what she didn't know was
Oh, what she didn't know was
You'd already bloomed and died
Bloomed and died
Bloomed and died
Bloomed and died
5.The Emperer
Instrumental
6.Limited Capacity
I painted myself into a corner again
Because i didn't like the colour of my floors
After you walked all over them
You're full of white lies
Oh, you're full of white lies
But i've got a limited capacity
Yeah i've got a limited capacity
And i'll paint my floors again
I'm sure i'll paint my floors again
7.It's Rough
When you're down on your luck
Aand you just can't cope
When the times are bleak
And the friends are few
Don't turn to me
'cause i'm no hope
Don't turn to me
'cause i don't know what to do
Maybe you should have a drink
I don't know why you ever stopped anyway
Oh, it's rough
Baby, to live
Oh, it's hard
Baby, to survive
Everyday lately
My mind feels like glass
Ready to be smashed
Ready to be smashed
Oh well, my best friend
Took a bullet through his eye
First he had a patch
Now he's got a glass eye
One hard, glass eye
He says sometimes he wishes
Both his eyes were glass
Well, it's rough
Baby, to live
And it's hard
Baby, to survive
Everyday lately
My mind feels like glass
Ready to be smashed
I'm ready to be smashed
At times i lock myself up
In my room
Don't come over
While i listen to a record
I stare at the cover
Don't come over
Don't come over
'cause i'm no hope to you
I'm no hope to you
8.Sleepy Joe
I slept through most of april
I got up in may and had some toast
Then i bedded down again
I bedded down again
Because i was sleepy
In june
I made enough chili in my crockpot
To last 'till the winter
'cause winter will be here sooner than you think
Winter will be here sooner than you think
That's when i hibernate
Oh, can you hear the bells
Can you hear the bells
Well neither can i
Neither can i
And i don't hear trumpets
When i enter a room
The fire you build for yourself
Could be so cold
Sleepy joe
Sleepy joe
Sleepy joe
You say you feel like you're dead
Oh well, i think it's just those books you read
You say you can't feel a thing
I'd like to break a chair across your back
And throw you in the ocean
Then tell me you don't feel a thing
When you slept with jenny
You said you couldn't feel a thing
Well i did
Sleepy joe
Sleepy joe
Sleepy joe
Nature abhors a vacuum
Nature abhors a vacuum
And so do you
Especially when you're trying to sleep late
Sleepy joe
Sleepy joe
Sleepy joe
Sleepy joe
9.The Candle
I was on her body
He was on her mind
I progressed her
He possessed her
I was there every day
He was there one day
And then went away
Well, i'm gathering these splinters to make a raft someday
She gives me so little
I'm gathering these splinters to make a raft someday and sail
away
But the candle, she still burns a candle
'a light', she says, 'i need a light'
And it's the only light in our room tonight
And she fills her face
With bananas and plumbs
Yoghurt and crumbs
And sexual (drums her fingers, comes, numbs？)
And the vibrated ..？..
And my dumb smile
10.Be Hit
Every girl i've ever loved
Has wanted to be hit
Every girl i've ever loved
Wanted to be hit
Every girl i've ever loved
Has wanted to be hit
Every girl i've ever loved
Left me, 'cause i wouldn't do it.
Got some advice for you friend
Ba-ba-bruise 'em, you'll never lose 'em
Ba-ba-bruise 'em, you'll never lose 'em
Alright now
Seems my sensitive touch
Can be given by, any old shmuck
Alright now
(repeat chorus)
11.Prince Alone In The Studio
Prince alone in the studio
It's two a.m. and all the girls are gone
The girls thought they were going to be able
To have sex with him
They wore their special underwear
Once the tracks were laid down
Prince's back turned around
Raspberry headphones on his head
On his ears
Prince alone in the studio
It's three a.m.
Prince hasn't eaten in eighteen hours
Dinner's burned on the stove
But prince, he doesn't even know
Prince alone in the studio
It's four a.m.
And he finally gets that guitar track right
And it's better than anything any girl could ever give him
Because prince is alone
Prince is alone
Oh prince, you are so alone
And when it's all complete
He feels like a hunter on the street
And when it's all complete
He feels like a hunter on the street
12.Goldfish Bowl
With all your health tips and your guilt trips
I can't even walk
You're watching me like a hawk
With all your guilt trips and your health tips
I can't eat at all
You're watching me like a hawk
You know this appartment is so small
Oh, how can i expect a wild love to grow
Oh, how can i expect a wild love to grow
It's like a fish in a goldfish bowl
It's like a fish in a goldfish bowl
It's like a fish in a goldfish bowl
