Quite Mean Spirited

Dressed up in ego and
Pressed up to black or to blue
Craving a nation that's
Caving to notions of
Only you
Death tolls are rising
But anger is driving you on
With nothing in common
Humanity's all but
Long long gone
Fellow like-minded but
Only one-sided
When all of them are gone
They will take you
All that you wanted to be
What you wanted to see
When it falls
It will take you down

Little Apple,
Get into my mouth
and never come back
Little Apple
Is on the plate
I am tired of my wife
Oh, Little apple,
Do not follow me, bourgeois,
I am with Lenin
Oh, little apple,
Green on the side
The steamboat is going,
The water makes rings
We feed the fish
With Volunteers
Oh, little apple,
All made of Tin
The tyrant's regime is dead
Oh, little apple
Your red lips are ripe
Come to the hayloft if you dare
Oh little apple
Come closer bourgeois
I'll prick out your eyes
Oh little apple
Red on the side
The steamboat is going,
The water makes rings
We feed the fish
With Volunteers

With one clear eye
You see the smile
Tasting my lips
Thrilling up my skull and
Down to my painted fingertips
Hold out your hand
Hold out your arms
Let me in
Green Fairy in a bottle
You loved me and I loved me too
Sugar on my tongue
Lingers in my mouth
Stay here and kiss me again
With a cloudy eye
Pretend you cant see the
Fishhook snarled in my lip
Running running running away
The weight of the hate is grating
My thighs
And sways from my hips
The ear of Van Gough
The late Mrs Jean Lanfray
Dorian Gray's better angels
Drown in the louche
Recoiling hand
Pushing away
I'm coming in
Anyway
You hated me and I hate me too
Splinters in my tongue
Blood in my mouth
Stay here and take it again
First you see things as you wish they were
Second you see them as they are not
Finally you see things as they really are
And that is the most horrible thing in the world

Saw Kanga last night in Houston , instantly was entranced by her sound , sucked me into the Kangakult vortex , so glad I got to see her live , should have looked into her sooner as Gary Numan was so supportive of her on the Revolution tour , oh now it’s time to catch up and get further involved
