Mother Terresa once said, Why don’t you leave me in bed, ‘cause my head isn’t quite what it seems, Whilst all the penitent nuns were searching for someone, To replace their saint, Why not choice someone whose quaint, And small. Colin Powell was seen, To be venting his spleen, On a coach load of refugees mothers, Whilst the presidents son was drinking whisky and rum, In a goblet once owned, By the saint of Jerome. See the hand on the wall, Giving fear to John Paul, On the Chungking express, Don’t expect it to stop in your station. Senseless things were seen, On your expensive wide-screen, Involving guns and a trail of destruction. Whilst the soilder and the sailor were in the refreshment trailer, Trading their scalps for cash, And sack loads of cash I saw a thief in a dress run away to the west. He had a losers resolve to win back the millions he lost. Our great leader would scream, Like some drunken stage queen, When pressed on the issue of sanctions, He’d say show me a life that cant be sacrificed, For me and my wife, And the kids and the life, I need. I’m the face at the glass, When the die has been cast, You know it, I’m the wrinkled ex-con, With just one more song to be sung. Theres a place in the sky, Where the eagles still fly you know it, Where the space is divided by the army of thespian devils. Shoot them down, to the ground, With a twenty-four, Don’t give me that look, you must have mistook, Me for someone else, Feed my faith, help me embrace, This human waste. Heap my regret, on the desk, Of your filing clerk.

You're a Tiny World, I'm in love with you girl, Through your forest mountains, valleys, and peaks, You belong to me. You're a Tiny World, and I orbit you girl, Through your forests, mountains, moons,and seas, I'm in your gravity. A tiny planet but you're coming of age, All across your nations are growing complications. It's getting me high. You're a tiny world, I fall into you girl. Through your forests, mountains, moons and seas, You exert a crush on me. You're a tiny world, you go by in a swirl. I'm attracted to your positivity when you're spinning close to me. A tiny planet but there's no-one at home. All across your nations there're growing compications. It's getting me high. Won't you stop, 'cause I want to get off this world. It goes around and around and around, But I'm never gonna be free. I'm trapped in your gravity. A tiny planet but you're coming of age. All across your nations are growing complications. You're getting me high. Won't you stop, 'cause I want to get off this world. It goes around and around and around, But I'm never gonna be free. While you exert a force on me.

Twin Problem 01:37
She gave me two reasons to come back, They both hit me like a heart attack, 'Cause my baby ain't no girl no more. Soon she's going to multiply and then we will be four. I gotta twin problem, a double helix of love, I gotta twin problem, I got my girl in trouble and now I'm seeing double. I always knew that she would split, Just never thought it would be like this. My affections are on the line, Now I'm clocking double-time. Just hope we can make it out alive. Twin problem, a double helix of love. I gotta twin problem, I got my girl in trouble and now I'm seeing double.

I remember when I was young, I said I’d never take this kind of shit from anyone, Now I’m older I’m not so dumb, I know you’ve got to pay them just to get things done. I remember when I was young, Said I’d never take the fall for anyone, Now it’s happened it can’t be undone, I know that there’s a piece of this in everyone. I’m going to make it out of this town. I’m going to make it out of this town. When I was just a seventeen, I had a lot of dreams, Lot of opportunities, But I wasted so much time, Dreaming of the time, Now it’s all over. I’ve decided to free myself And to rise above the barriers that we set in place. This town is not a destination, But a prison that we built ourselves to hide the disgrace. I’m going to make it out of this town. I’m going to make it out of this town.

The summer time and I'm feeling fine, But I'm never gonna feel free with your arms around me. The neon light tries to pull me inside, says, I'm never gona feel free, till you've had a piece of me. The light's on but no-one's at home. All across the nation, extended staycation. It's getting me high. Stop - 'cause I want to get off this world. It goes around and around and around. But I'm never gonna feel free. The billboard screams, you can spend yourself clean but, You're never gonna be free till you've spent some time on me. The TV screen, and the magazines say, I'm never gonna be free till I've sold it to reality TV. The light's on but no-one's at home. All across the nation, extended staycation. It's getting me high. Stop - 'cause I want to get off this world. It goes around and around and around. But I'm never gonna feel free. Stop - 'cause I want to get off this world. It goes around and around and around. But I'm never gonna feel free. With your arms around me. [Solo] Stop - 'cause I want to get off this world. It goes around and around and around. But I'm never gonna feel free. Stop - 'cause I want to get off this world. It goes around and around and around. But I'm never gonna feel free. With your arms around me.
