I'll be true
When the night is blue
And when the light turns green
I'll lovingly please you
But when we make love
I don't want to come too soon
It's altruistic masturbation
Come with me
Good Samaritan
Only doing it for your future pleasure
The sky is still
And my testicles
Are like clouds of rain
I want to lose them
When we make love
I don't want to come too soon
It's altruistic masturbation
Round midnight
Not gonna be a disruption to your sleep

Computer Virus

How come my computer has a virus?
I took a USB stick home from work
And then the screen turned black
And I couldn't turn on my computer
Then I tried
Unplugging all the wires
And plugged them again
But nothing happened
But the little red light was flashing
On the front of the computer
Computer Virus
This is the Chorus
Computer Virus
This is the Chorus
How come his
Computer doesn't have a virus?
He watches porn on it, he smokes (around it), and yells at it;
He'd probably be yelling at me right now
If we were still together
Computer Virus
This is the Chorus
Computer Virus
This is the Chorus
This is the Chorus
Computer Virus

A soul
Never to love again
A soul
A loser never can win
A soul
No one can understand
And gone
Gone is the heart that cared
And gone
Gone is the love we shared
Forget
A love that was yours and mine
A soul
Tomorrow the sun won't shine
Alone
Now we must stand alone
Forget
All the good friends we know
Forget
A love that was yours and mine
A soul
Lost at the end of time

Thumb through
your old songbook
Open up
your royalty cheques
Since your last audit
Now the government's got it
If you're lucky
If you're normal
You look horrible
You sound terrible
This kitchen
you read your mail in
and science digests
Maybe a reunion?
Adapt or die I guess
In outer space
you can freeze to death
at the same time
as your blood boils
The only time
you see the stars
is when you tip
back the glass
the last cigarette
of the night
But what are stars anyway?
Some great analogy
or metaphor?
To explain
the sacred and profane
the simple and the idiotic
and how they make each other possible
You get blindsided by money
to repay the people who were nice
enough to pay you to do this
Money's just another measure of success
If you're lucky
If you're normal
You look horrible
Here's a parable
A man gets an apple
He puts it on a cutting board
Then he takes an axe
and cuts it into fours
The cutting board is fine
but he chops off his
fingertips
He scoops them into his hand
and holds them to the light and
he starts screaming and crying
and he doesn't quite know why
Do you like dreams?
That you can touch?
You know what's in dreams
are more than they seem
You don't care for it
Police cars
sharking through the heat
A garbage bag
waving down the street
Walk over
the sidewalk cracks
stuffed with earwax
When she
was younger
her parents
were actors
and they'd pawn her off
And when her
dilettantish parents
were around
they'd lay it on
pretty thick
But sleeping in
a hospital bed
is depressing
but what's the alternative?
A plastic sheet is
better than none at all
But all the people in the ward
were like dolls
that she used to have
button-eyes, thread mouths,
plaster saints
He said, he's got
nothing to say anymore
Then he talked for an hour more
"TV is totally valueless
it's like a machine for malaise."
"When the spark has gone,
will you stick around?
Only fruit flies
mate for life"
But living
with insane people
then going to live
with sane people
would have seemed
doubly insane
but her paranoia
is making me paranoid
And now it's quite plain
Everything that you did
Around every corner you turned
Every detour
Every sign you followed
Every straw
Minute by minute...
point by point
Bit by bit...
Word by word
All your life...
Every step...
Brought you closer
to death
Why so sorry, morning glory?
There's no tomorrow
Why so sorry, morning glory?
There's no tomorrow
etc.
And every
