One, Two, Three, Four, Hold fast, There's a problem with my counterfeit, It got me past the city limits, But it's kept me in this damn disguise I'll, Be fine, With this painting wrapped around my waist, A shiv tucked in my negligee, My teeth as sharp as razor blades I've, Got style, By standing out I'm blending in, I'm one of culture's deadly sins, I'll charm you with my caustic grin, How do you do? No, we're not strangers anymore, We've shared a drink, we've opened doors, Oh look, I've left you wanting more, And I swear, Something's following me, I can't breath, I can't see, More time, Won't you give me just another day, I swear I'll have the cash to pay, You've caught me in a dire way the, Moonlight, Sets the mood for sweet birdsong, The feeling I've done something wrong, I know that it will not be long till, Neck chop, My head goes rolling from the block, Paranoia cannot be stopped, Hell on earth, my blood is mopped the, Grand feasts, To celebrate the end of times, What once was yours will now be mine, Listen to that steeple chime, And I swear something's following me, I can't breath, I can't see, And I swear something's stalking me, I can't breath, I can't see.

Demi (Because Is in Your Mind) 03:14
lyrics

Demi, Because is in your mind, Have you ever, Considered there, May be more to this world, Than you first thought? Kalashnikov, In the peat and moss, While the river flows, All around spent ammo, Harbor ills, With the ships and mills, While the victualler stills, Gunpowder whisky, Is that cough new? Should we worry 'bout you? Should we draft a will? Should we call a doctor? A doctor, Call a doctor, A doctor, Demi, Because is in you mind, He's just my type, Doesn't worry 'bout power, Long hours, Talking so softly, Mix ecstasy, With Grandma's tea, She's been so lonely, Been so lonely, You've got spite, You ferocious bastards, What's wrong, With a little white powder? Take heed, Don't love too often, Americans, Are nailing our coffins, Our coffins, Nailing our coffins, Our coffins, Demi, Because is in your mind...

lyrics

I'm an old bogle, And I can't be found, All the myth has gone, Without a sound, I'm an old bogle, And I can't be found, All the myth has gone, Without a sound, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, So lovesick, Love me swift, Love is so damn quick, I'm an old bogle, And I'm creeping around, With my tails, cane and crown, I'm an old bogle, And I'm creeping around, With my tails and cane, And my negligee crown, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, Love me sweet, Love me swift, I'm lovesick, So lovesick, Love me swift, Love is so damn quick, I'm an old bogle... Love me sweet at pie, Love me sour as grapes, Love me in all styles, All shapes.

Blood 04:28
lyrics
buy track
He'll give his blood away, So he can safely stay, Away from the brink, He's feeling shallow, So drain his marrow, He deserves the pain, The world is screaming, Can't you hear them? He needs to give it all away, And then when he's braindead, You can take his whole head, He won't need it anyway, But he can't give it all away, But he'll sure try until his dying day, Said he can't give it all away, A few pennies in a hat wont fix the road already paved, He's known beggar-men and thieves, And everything in between, The prince and his crown, Which he's melted down, Pass the gold around, You know it wont fix, The lobotomies, His own philosophies, Will leave him in a ditch, And then who can he help, When he needs help himself, What a crying shame, But he can't give it all away, But he'll sure try until his dying day, Said he can't give it all away, A few pennies in a hat wont fix the road already paved, Now the brick and mortar, Supports three hungry vultures, They'll pluck out his eyes, Pass them to the blind, You know the selfless kind? Or is it some kind of guilt, That drives the teeth from their lair, And plucks out every hair, The boy just wont stop, When he's about to drop, He'll sign his organs off, Though their blackened and bruised.

The Hobgoblin Romance 06:55
lyrics

I see tonight that Sally's late, She spends far too much time, Sitting round and contemplating, Round now she'll cross the Brig-o-Doon, With a violin in hand, Letting out a graceful tune, I see that Billy's lost his way, He'll roam around in heather, For another lonesome day, But all his goblin ears perk up, When hears that graceful tune, And breaks into a goblin run, I see you've found yourself a friend, I hear they keep coming round, Again and again and again, I see you've fallen in love, This is one for the history books, I'll take a picture cause I must, Now Sally's been lonely for a long time, She thought she'd found her love, But she traded her for cheap red wine, She's always been intrigued with the absurd, Someone of the strangest looks, Is the only way for her, Billy's always been surrounded by friends, But he feels out of place, With his goblin ears and goblin trends, If only he could see his luck, At running into one, Desperate for a goblin fuck, I see you've found yourself a friend, I hear they keep coming round, Again and again and again, I see you've fallen in love, This is one for the history books, I'll take a picture cause I must, I see you've found yourself a friend, I hear they keep coming round, Again and again and again, I see you've fallen in love, This is one for the history books, I'll take a picture cause I must, I see you've found yourself a friend, I hear they keep coming round, Again and again and again, I see you've fallen in love, Your hobgoblin romance, Had better thank the stars above.

Headless Hunter 04:40
lyrics
buy track
Headless Hunter, (Passing the plains), Not a soul, (Will forget her name), Bodies all, (Blocking the brook), Lawman, (Shooting the crook), And have you seen that part of her, Dredging the bones from the River Styx? And have you seen that part of her, Stealing the charms from the harlequins' tricks? And have you seen that part of her, Dressed up in violet from the ergot fix? And have you seen that part of her, Tending to the wounded with a delicate kiss? Headless Hunter, (Roaming the wilds), Not a soul, (To be seen for miles), Rum soaks, (Into the rag), Her mouth, (Chats in saddlebag), And have you seen that part of her, Dredging the bones from the River Styx? And have you seen that part of her, Stealing the charms from the harlequins' tricks? And have you seen that part of her, Dressed up in violet from the ergot fix? And have you seen that part of her, Tending to the wounded with a delicate kiss? But it wont be long, Bellow out the war chant, Stomping to the blind man's song, You've got it all wrong, Listen to the hangman's rant, With the Deil's sharp prongs, Should've heard their spiel, Talking through the Hunter's mouth, On the Grindhouse reel, Spin the wheel, Test your luck against the house, Bet your last good meal, Her faith is torn, Tempted off the trail of tears, Blast her hunter's horn, So forlorn, Hasn't had a smoke in years, But the line's been drawn, She'll stake her claim, Decapitate the old King's ways, Stitch her neck to fame, They'll fear her name, Heed what the hangman says, Now she runs the game.

Deadman's Flowers/Grimshaw Towers 04:19
lyrics

Deadman's painting his flowers, Deadman's stuck in his shed, Deadman's such a damn coward, I wish that Deadman was dead, Grimshaw's building his towers, Grimshaw's filled up with lead, Grimshaw's painted like flowers, Grimshaw shot Deadman dead, Deadman's painting his flowers, Deadman's stuck in his shed, Deadman's such a damn coward, I wish that Deadman was dead, Grimshaw's building his towers, Grimshaw's filled up with lead, Grimshaw's painted like flowers, Grimshaw shot Deadman dead, Deadman's flowers, Growing hours and hours, They're wilting in showers, The snowfall like powder, Grimshaw Towers, Growing louder and louder, Rising up in power, And crushing the flowers, Deadman's flowers, Growing hours and hours, They're wilting in showers, The snowfall like powder, Grimshaw Towers, Growing louder and louder, Rising up in power, And crushing the flowers, Deadman's flowers, Growing hours and hours, They're wilting in showers, The snowfall like powder, Grimshaw Towers, Growing louder and louder, Rising up in power, And crushing the flowers.

Queenie 03:33

I haven't seen Queenie for a long time, Last time we split a bottle of red, red wine, I haven't seen Queenie for a long time, He's busy being gay and killing time, I heard Queenie showed you how to break a spell, He told me that you aren't doing all too well, I heard Queenie showed you how to break a spell, He told me that you aren't doing all too well, All too well, I swear that Queenie wore a cosmic crown, And galactic trousers flowing down around his gown, I swear that Queenie wore a cosmic crown, It's not for me to say what style is now, Now, now, now, I heard Queenie showed you how to break a spell, He told me that you aren't doing all too well, I heard Queenie showed you how to break a spell, He told me that you aren't doing all too well, All too well, Queenie come feed me, From a silver plate, Queenie come tease, It's getting late, Queenie don't leave me, I need your touch, Queenie release me, I'm staying up, Queenie, Queenie, Queenie.

Stagnating (an Undead Bridegroom in a Thong) 02:49
lyrics

I'm stagnating baby, Come resuscitate me, I'm stagnating, Come pull me out of the mire, Be a gentle lady, A man who takes me safely, Out of that ditch that gravely, Extinguished my fire, My skin's got bright boils, My skull's been embroiled, With bugs who graft, toil, And work till bones wiped bare, My wedding finger's plucked, I've fast run out of luck, My mind's been mushed to fuck, But still I want you there, My cunt has lost its juice, My dick's shrivelled to prune, My tits are coarse like dunes, That stretch across the sands, So find a necromancer, An arcane devil dancer, An eldritch god romancer, Raise me from the land, So don't let me stagnate too long, I'm waiting to marry you, An undead bridegroom in a thong, Cutting my balls in two, No don't let me stagnate too long, My hair's falling out in clumps, Take me from the Deil's sharp prongs, They're stabbing my wrinkly rump.

Eilidh Says/Phantom Limbs 08:45
lyrics
buy track
Well Eilidh told me, I was punching, Far too far above my weight, Well I took on, Her careful feedback, And asked you on a second date, But it's been a couple of hours, And I haven't heard, It's been a couple of days, And I haven't heard, It's been a couple of weeks, And I haven't heard, Eilidh says I should give up, Eilidh says I should give up, Eilidh says I should give up, Eilidh says I... Well Eilidh said, That maybe we, Should take a walk on by the sea, But I've got a special call, That I'm expecting, I can't go out walking when they could be texting but, It's been a couple of hours, And I haven't heard, It's been a couple of days, And I haven't heard, It's been a couple of weeks, And I haven't heard, Maybe I should just give up, Maybe I should just give up, Maybe I should just give up, Maybe I should just give up... But I've got phantom limbs, Yes, I've got phantom limbs, I tell you that I've got phantom limbs, I've got phantom limbs...
