The Lyrics to volume 10
“Claire’s Greatest Hits!”
1-FOUR CORNERS-
Four corners of there are to see Flat the Earth it must be Not spiralling
dangerously Two tornadoes whirl at speed Infinite in complexity A twisting line
the numbers be Juggling in powers of three If you have only just switched on
This has been going on all along Animals about they throng Spaceship Earth we
bang a gong/ Put it all on number 14 In days of Art I like to dream Forty
different highs and lows On with the show on with the show/ Al Qaiida
tyranny What of the Afghan Massive scene
I never made it to the Wailing Wall Or Gethsemane But Golgotha did I brave to
see Behind the veil I dread to peep We’re towelheads upon the beach Proud we
streak past in infamy News in briefs upon page3 Mystic Meg in our country/ A different cycle something new A different
story in the view How we all divide our time planets down to every sign The Sun
it sets into the West With pinkest skies I’d never guess/ Mobile Money Keys
Merry-Go-Round Charger Frenzy Petrol Camera Nano Countdown My Will she whispers
As we return from the Sea Town and Country it has to be Concrete jungle sprawls
like mad Even in Africa where we’ve had A bit brought down in London town But
grassy fields are coming round Exhausting finding her a living But Mortal
Combat can be forgiving Sister Verity gave me a cat My daughter now a new
beginning
2- FOLLOW YOU
DEADLY- Fucking and chucking and unrequited love- this is what happens when
the Gods make love! Scan me- like a cat with my ID Perhaps it is just process
really transfer ideas to you and me and outwards to infinity perhaps the pieces
are a dead end perhaps the rest is Fantasy Perhaps Ruin is like a blonde bird
too Four Warlocks in a set Sat at a table meeting Bombproof like the horses The
Witch Paths unfolding pushed out of my mind somewhere Guide it on and arch your
back Digital watch ticking over Chipped with a homepage rotating Foundation a
new world creating Image a venture expanding More black than the blackest black
on black the time it goes Hot black even on the controls Fly a ship into the
Sun Leading lights of the show The bomb’s fuse ignited We have found solutions
Mailshot fantasy a steep learning curve Friends of friends of friends we see
Susan dreaming peacefully At the centre of where we are gathering Forgive us
our shortcomings And accept our mortality Petrol Oil and Water freedom for you
and me

3- GOLDEN DEMON-
Powerful before me naked She-Ra above the Skies Put you first Above all my
Prize When the Sun it comes out She lays down her disguise Squad cars
descending You ripped your dress But we got it mended, yes Complete the Circle
change to change Now complete the Set The Angel Death appears in white Death to
all mortals- they just go in to work Gather in the Harvest before night Sophie
sleeps in Number Thirteen Confront mortality do it right Undiscovered gems in
sight Cut your losses and reorganise Stay resolute fixed with all our might The
Angel Death stares you in the eyes A golden trophy his desire Raise her up like
angels by her wings A butterfly flits across the skies Scrabble we for the
spoils Pass unhindered in the World of Men
4- HEADLAMP EYES-
Headlamp eyes And hair outsize Swan-driven chariots we drive Beckon to me tall
in your spikes My hand to your hips I realise Align your colours I’m in the
skies A nanosecond where reaction lies Let’s get together I can’t deny I want
to find our destiny/ Star-crossed lovers ride on time Rock and roll island
spreads countrywide We’ve only got these lives to go So let’s treat ourselves
to never alone/ When you meet your famous few I hope you’ll think I’m part of
you You are the backbone You’re the spine Of what seems like Centuries divine
As we travel up the line We need each other don’t deny/ Hounded from the
streets Under oppression Where I find my
feet Flames a flickering at my toes Eagle’s wings so here we go To search for a
story In Portobello Pull my hair back as the wires go Battle website Where the
Emperor he will go Many skulls down on the road Command the show Do we have
conversation somewhere I never know
5-JUMP SHIP- She’s at her pleasure again The Doll’s House
has jumped up just then Get the cat fed and return To Babylon ready to burn
Everything is trivialised by Magick The train will get me there just quick Lust
finds its moments for me Out upon the High See/ If you’ve seen one Then you
seen them all Perhaps not The mind Is what the future’s got Lazy wind it cuts
right through you Jump ship when love has called/ We two have a mobile thing
Where are you now? What’s the sting? Don’t forget to apple bring Let’s chase them
up Ring ring ring!/ Straight from the pages of a magazine My diary is yours As
you wipe it clean Without any rules you stand serene Nothing is like the same A
piece of string
6- HOBGOBLIN- Flaming
sword Not rational But empirical Saturn and Venus at
loggerheads Oh hell! Puzzle box Kiss and tell She cannot know me very well
Little things I pick up from you keep me going for a day or two/ Change my
teeshirt every day On it goes with razor blade Strong black original Nescafe
Enigma code we expand Songlines travel overland Bongoes stirring up a fugue For
me perhaps but not for you Stuck inside the Rubik’s Cube/ Hot girl posse under
Willesden skies Further south I tantalise Scratch and scream and spit and bite
Docking system of polar white White plastic out of sight Travel onto a Nano if
it’s right Step back Stormtroopers we take control White plastic rock and roll/
Straight into another war by mistake Even though the pains I take We’re
thrashing it out on the box For Heaven’s sake
7-PUSHING IT-
Celebrity idolatry hero worship cult of notoriety Mapped out we are in several
parts This is where the Empire starts The grid is like a birth chart of your
stars Showing where your affinities are Where minds meet to make a whole Shows
to you your fortuitous role Beaming down on all of us we find our conquests
laid to rest Bleary-eyed hunting on New
Year’s Day The New Millennium has come our way A direct path from sphere to
sphere Not much in the middle here A dairy herd- out in the fields again Or
gigging in Northampton Armed as Three or armed as Four Seek exposure door to
door When I give to you you give to me Whatever in a mystery The men they
gather in unity, unity in diversity Direction Scarecrow is the key Beware the
Priestess behind me Charmed I am Eat me Drink Me Scan me Wands and Cups and
Swords and Disks It’s getting slow let’s take a risk Going now from street to
street Something we can do together Flats Hotels and Houses in all sorts of
weather Your meter-men can be utter bastards sweet girl of mine O Queen I smell
you perfume once again Go Go, Go Go, Go Go Go! Got those teeshirts 3 and 4
Better watch She don’t show you the door 3 and 4 make 6 14 Like the Lovers on
the scene Panther and Wyvern quite serene Nefertiti shoots she’ll draw We’re
only here once let’s hope it’s fine Forever when I make you mine Punch a hole
through to the next daytime A new branch of the tree A new branch to work for
free A new location for us to be
8- COME-
Barbed wire usually is what I find fooling around in the top of your mind
Shuddering a waterfall Between your ears I see it all A glass of wine a grove
of trees Your hair flutters in the breeze Playing on a magic flute Guitars that
grind the right note Shuddering a waterfall Between your ears I see it all
Brooding my black crystal ball I’m a fire sending signals through your skies
Melt the wax the dragon flies It’s all gone green at traffic lights Come Come
Come A monster devouring mussels takes you from behind
9-VAMPIRE-There’s
a mermaid Barbie in my bedroom And a striking blonde that needs a little
headroom My hands are clasped to form a ring Grab the mike and start to sing
Grab the neck and start to drink/ Paradise by Kensal Rise Take Notting Hill all
by surprise Vultures circling in the skies Staring sweet into your eyes/ Damage
limitation exercise Warring triads have the size The glint of blades that slice
and scythe And hint eternal in promises/ Playing with a mouse the cat Kills for
pleasure as a fact And then in Death’s deliverance sleeps Returning to the
Tower’s keep/ Finding fag-ends by the door You’ll know that I have been before
The Worldwide Freeride is the score Veterans us of this the globe/ Two goblets
sit by prison bars Across the fields under the stars Trying to define this
world of ours Love like sands shifts day and night We’ll meet at Paradise again
tonight Paradise at the end of our street where you indeed might find me/ Sexy
purple spiky heels Got me spinning round in wheels Dressed for action where
danger is the draw And adventure is the score You are electric I want some
more!
10- DARK HORSE-
Wild I’m clinging by its neck Taking a grip on the mane I wear suits
occasionally I’ve got two Winter and Summer will do Shiver your hair and your
muscles too Warming up we take control Extreme sports like Rock’n’Roll Southam
Horse Posse in colours glow Red Indian Brave dontcha know Two dogs fucking here
we go Fourth yard now Close up on books Close up on disc I go a long way In the
hope of a risk Time travellers free to choose Like Hellraiser when they slide
out on trays Like some comfort zone issue She stole a clutch of figurines Got
the teeshirt so it seems Get running later- be ready
11- SIX CARROTS-
Six carrots dangling Six carrots for a Donkey At the Time of the Spears you
taught me Six Wands Six Carrots Six Roots Success Victory when we’re at our
best To hold on relentlessly Live through these emotions in triplicate Songs
for the Week We multiply 24/7 times table More complex than a train line When
it happened When I wrote it And when we press record And when your televisions
explode You’ll know You’ve throttled The very lodestone And all they can do Is
take things away Sector Flux on yet another day Oppression is a candle or two
fingers to the World clinging on for a ray of Hope Clinging on to defeat Defeat
Clinging on to Banish and Invoke Rock solid in a cloud of smoke Flying on my
broomstick across the Skies This confidence you will need if you set your
sights on us
12- DO IT FOR MY
QUEEN- Transaction overdrive What goes around comes around as above so below
When events conspire against us we go on a roll Five Valtens so there you go
With our long Hair essence show Pink Grapefruit flavour one of your
Correspondences With our Queens where we know Female Company Do it for both of
us obviously Do it for my Queen Legions of the Undead buy and sell this planet
Self-determination No floor below This is what I want though Have the horses on
the go Siding with the horses Something to deal with at last Conflict with
Authority Perhaps a Milestone with this theory Crosstown Woman throw the Book
at me This is what we make with our money The wind swirling through the Deck In
a World of Make-believe I Hold the reins because I am a Man
13- In Colour
Now we’re sat there as two
I am never over you
And I’ve been through your moves
And that suitcase is blue
In your wardrobe I find
In your clothes
Peace of mind
In your black
A rainbow signed
For my gold
A sharp define
For the green outside of you
And your eyes of very blue
My reds and orange too
Returning back for you
You get yours in colour too
14- A Mermaid
come to me
There she is in Barbie pink
A mermaid come to me
Found her out at the swimming pools
A mermaid come to me
Still out of bounds and up in town
A mermaid come to me
I’m eating alone where we plugged in
Or where we once have been
Your hair is pink and your tail is blue
The Star for all to see
A single tulip red it glows
Picked from my garden graciously
I know the dandelions look overgrown
As you have grown on me
15- GEOGRAPHY-
Geography Sophie between you and me It is a better
spread No-one else can kill it dead! Top girl in the mystery No other girl dare
interfere All the men want you though You get to keep me on my toes So much
electrics but when I touch You’re the one I turn to Undercarriage sleek scratches
so Is it Four in the London equation Five rings in a cycle For the wheels set
in motion Capture a temptress Hold her in chains Keep it all coming Only the
brave Hand off admirers and previous men In other people discover her value
then Climb through hoops for you Shrouded in Mystery hidden from view The
Dragon glints in passing On your Mandinka take your chances Enter your
Headspace on the drive into Town On the Plain of Mars when we touch down At
Notting Hill Gate where I meet my Fate and in the Canyons of High Street Ken Where we do battle again You
took me on this rollercoaster really But I let you
16-MADONNA IN THE SNOW- Babylonian Demoness Hong Kong Harbour Dogs She lets me in just because With apple pips And the sign of the Cross And the Sun upon the Cross/ Plot of turf Grass cut low Madonna in the snow Mountain hop here we go Where the Silver Star will show/ Dark Angel Patrol Castle in the Bowl Thirtieth Aethyr on the go Track 17 upon the snow Houses of the Holy up on show Rescue on a skidoo Ambulance sirens too/ From a shipwreck on a beach To a hand that grips the deck To a lady famous for her hats Through centuries of this and that For with the Devil she made her pact To a woman like a firework waiting to explode And a man spellbound by the world With a poem about Crowley By the Hierophant taught between a life in Pov and Obituaries caught/ Banana and walnut muffin From the cafe Do I your breakfast make And then our plan of action Our lands and our maps then Do we with no miss take.
