The Firework Maker's Daughter
I've got a spark inside that keeps me restless,
Always searching for something more,
I've got a spark inside that keeps me lonely,
Reaching for something to ease my aching soul,
Chorus
I want to make fire like you,
C'mon show me,
If you teach me you know that I will learn,
I want to make fire like you,
C'mon show me what to do,
'Cause I can burn too,
I can burn too,
I've got a spark inside that keeps me guessing,
Wondering what tomorrow will bring,
I've got a spark inside that keeps me fighting,
For justice in everything,
Repeat Chorus
If you believe then I can breath and I'll conceive of more than fire (x4)
Repeat chorus
Oblivion
Life is hard, it's a hard, hard life
When money is scarce and desire is rife
So numb your heart and numb your head
And sleep like a baby
Chorus
All the women and men
In the opium dens
Oblivion, oblivion
The perfect remedy,
Erase your memory
Oblivion, oblivion
And laudanum lovers love like no other
And laudanum lovers love like no other
But they can't remember how it feels
Life is cruel, it's a cruel, cruel life,
When giving is scarce and taking's rife
So numb your heart and numb your head,
And sleep like a baby,
Repeat Chorus
Can you forge real love in a fake, fake world can you?
Repeat Chorus
Drunken Assassin
Love and laughter, laughter and love,
It's what we're all dreaming of,
Write it on walls
Etch it in wood
If you say it enough it will come good,
Chorus
You kill the loneliness,
You kill the loneliness for me,
My one and onlyness,
You kill the loneliness,
You kill the loneliness for me,
My one and onlyness,
If only you weren't drinking yourself half to death
We could live happily ever after
Bound by history, history bound
Losers waiting to be found
Open your heart
Etch it in wood
If you say it enough it will come good
Repeat Chorus
Stop, take a moment here
Let it all go with your corked up fears
My pickled livered lover your burning up
Give it up, give it up, give it up
Load your gun get it in your sights
Pull the trigger for me be gone tonight
My drunken assassin when you do it right
Pull the trigger for me be gone tonight
Repeat Chorus
The Women's Battalion
One hundred years since the vote was won,
And years before the battle begun,
Hunger strikes and prison gates
The tide is turning
England shakes
Chorus
The women's batallion
The rebellion
Deeds not words 'cause the words weren't heard,
The women's battalion
The rebellion
Sauce for the gander
Is sauce for the goose,
Letter bombs and IEDs
Men of England listen to me
Injure no-one take no life
Votes for women
Trouble and Strife
Repeat Chorus
Left right left right here they come with a fire in their hearts 'till the vote is won
Left right left right here they come through thick and thin
Never give in
Repeat Chorus
In Pursuit of Happiness
Well you said that we could still be friends,
I was a sucker for the sweet talking,
You said that you could never love again,
But there you go still swinging that ball and chain,
Chorus
And I'm in pursuit of happiness,
And I'll leave no stone unturned,
Yes I'm in pursuit of happiness
And I'll leave no stone unturned
And I have been bitten and I have been burned
But I have listened and I have learned
If I meet you on the way and I don't mean a thing to you,
How little I mean says so much about you,
You kept it all so close inside
The truth and all the lies
You said that you could never love again
But there you go still swinging that ball and chain
Repeat Chorus
So walk away, hey hey
'Cause I'm worth more than you I'd say
So walk away, hey hey
'Cause I'm worth more than you I'd say
So walk away hey hey
You had no joy in your heart anyway
So walk away hey hey
You had no joy in your heart anyway
Repeat Chorus

Is this dopamine oxytocin cocktail in my blood love?
Or just a chemical, or just a chemical rush?
Is this dopamine oxytocin cocktail in my blood love?

The Devilling Kind
I've tasted the fruit from the tree
Of the knowledge of good and evil,
I've tasted the fruit from the tree
I've seen the Devil and he's seen me
Oh he's seen me
And I looked into his devil eyes
I saw right through his devil lies
I know what's in his devil mind
And I'm not scared of the devilling kind
He saw the dark side of the moon too soon
It was sink or swim
When he saw the devil and she saw him
Oh she saw him
And he looked into her devil eyes
He saw right through her devil lies
He know's what in her devil mind
And he's not scared of the devilling kind
We found a boat
Rowed the river Lethe
We made no fuss
When we saw the devil and it saw us
Oh it saw us
And we looked into its devil eyes
We say right through its devil lies
We know what's in its devil mind
And we're not scared of the devilling kind
For 40 days and 40 nights
No nourishment to fight the fight
That dirty old devil tempted fine
But we're not scared of the devilling kind.
Rumpelstiltskin
You won't take what's precious to me

You won't take my soul from me I'll hide it all away
You won't take my soul from me
You won't take my life blood
I'll hide it all away
You won't take my life blood
Repeat Chorus

To keep all that's fake in your Rumpelstiltskin

Masks the bite of the fawning parasite

Song for The Broken Hearted
You wanted my heart to fill the void in you
And my warm skin on your cold hands
Did you think if you held me in tight to you
That all my emotion would osmosize?
Chorus
And yeah you were everything that I'd ever wanted
You morphed yourself until attachment bonded
Then you turned the screws and used
'Cause I made you look good
And I made you come good
A bullet to fire at the hearts of the broken hearted
I was a bullet to fire at the heart of the broken hearted
You told me you loved me
And it sounded so hollow
You're emptiness is a bitter pill to swallow
Did you think if you pulled me in tight to you
That all my emotion would osmosize?
Repeat Chorus

Say it's so Say it's so
When all the doubters see the light
And all the blinded see
When all the doubters see the light
And all the spineless stand with me

And puts darkness in its place
He takes the sparkle from your eyes
And wipes the smile from your face
