Shes the charm, the calm, the criminal mastermind I'm the raw, brute knuckle, scourge of mankind. A villan twosome, it's as brutal as it gruesome how we've run this town till the blood's drained out. Of course this outlaw life will doom us both One day they're sure to find us. But when the jig is up and its really it, there's one thought that can save us. Partner in crime When you grab that axe and grind your name into my heart they can't tear us apart. Shes an ice cold heart, fools every polygraph. I'm a plank and a nail and a manacle laugh. My finesse may be lacking but her plans are so refined I'l be stamping on the cat and still escape in time. And as I'l be's become I was and time slows to a trickle The hounds are circling us, knives out dreaming that we're kibble. Partner in crime When you grab that axe and you grind your name into my heart they can't tear us apart. Partner in crime may your enemies be mine and your name into my heart. They can't tear us apart. Two birds on a wire dreaming higher than they've named it. But someones got to jump cos the winds gonna take it.

Long ago this all was forests. Where the wolf packs used to roam. And stone circles told of humans more connected than we could ever know. Then the march of revolution took the trees and turned our gaze to a thin steel pole. And now the hill is burning down the hill is burning down. Scorch marks on my dressing gown the hill is burning down. You can see the smoke from space. Then the scene cuts to the news. Where the red and orange flicker on the belly of the chopper plays with themes of anguish and doom. Take the film rights, take the song. Cos the true arts in the moment when flint hits the stone. And now the hill is burning down the hill is burning down. Scorch marks on my dressing gown the hill is burning down. And now the hill is burning down the hill is burning down. Scorch marks on my dressing gown the hill is burning, its burning down. Smoking blackout curtain. Visionary or vandal. Culprit or creator. Arsonist or artist. At last the buzz is leaving town now the hill is burning down. I hit em with the big guns Blind and deafen em! Blind and deafen em!! Oh the hill is burning down, the hill is burning down. Shake to the flicker, move to the beat of the fire-beaters beating back retreat retreat retreat! Now the hill is burning down, the hill is burning down. scorch marks on my dressing gown scorch marks on my dressing gown. I'l rise again before the heat dies down. The hill is burning down!

Long days in the office Long night in the office Working hard to get what I wanted To get up to the top. Hey look up, that's me at the top. Trampling and manipulating and treating people like shit Just makes me feel like shit. But I get used to it. Now I'm here in the Dorchester on this night all my dreams will come true. I'm gonna expose myself to you. No one says no to me, no one says no to me! Thats not what I'm talking about! No one says no to me! Rich men and young ladies well they go together like smooth leather and the wheel of my Mercedes. Do you have any idea home much it cost and how much I lost to get where I wanted? And you want a piece of my pie? Well, I want a piece of your pie. Sweet sweet, sweet charity. Melissa and Amy, They're all looking at me. So close the doors, Lock the windows, Cos the world just don't want to view. When I expose myself to you. (there are worse things I could do)

When the plucky spider catches her fly she swaddles him lovingly and tucks him in tight So he can rest at ease cradled in a gentle breeze knowing she wont let him go. Like lucky numbers that never come in you get an urge to change em but you don't give in. You stick to your guns and you lose again you'll stick to your guns and lose every time Every time Well that love is like our love well that love is like ours Its not the stuff of legend but it is ours its ours its ours That love is like ours When your head is in the barbers chair Dictating every sweep and turn of your hair. Then he snips and twiddles and twirls at your mane of dashing curls and just cuts it all off Well that love is like our love that love is like ours. Borne of a clerical error gum stuck to the seat of a bus. Well that love is like ours. That love is like ours How did it happen to me Well that love is like our love that love is like ours. They might not understand it It might not be written in the stars You don't even have to know me but its ours its ours its ours. That love is like ours...

Look I'm sorry shes dead but you'll ruin the spread the coleslaw will curdle the congregations toes curl. If you air your woes In rhyme and not prose what is it with bad funeral poetry? Each line a crass rhyme was the tumor benign though the tests inconclusive it seems dieing has proved it Shes with the angels now and the Princess Of Wales now hit me with it Bad funeral poetry. Bad funeral poetry, bad funeral poetry a stark and strange beauty all of its own. We ate fish and chips at the solar eclipse You burnt out your retina on that pin hole projector. And so many more stories, past crimes and past glories confined by a rhyme for bad funeral poetry Bad funeral poetry, bad funeral poetry a stark and strange beauty all of its own. Bad funeral poetry, bad funeral poetry a stark and strange beauty all of its own. A rhyme is so final so done and dusted so neatly concluded so ticked off a list But memories linger they dream and they wake they flicker like candles on your last Birthday cake. Bad funeral poetry, bad funeral poetry a stark and strange beauty all of its own. Bad funeral poetry, bad funeral poetry a stark and strange beauty all of its own.
