The Lyrics to the Eighth Album
Icescraper
1- BOMB TICKING-
Open the door to be presented with A bomb that is fizzing away With a bunch of
flowers for you Like the badges on my jacket today The triumph of Hope over
Reality A surprise you might say Try to entertain you Can’t help but feeling
very like the Hierophant today The next party trick on the way After flowers
and “Love You” next day Change for the meter to drive you insane Han’s second
wife Susan loves her space Myriad confusions Morathi
about the place But that story for us it has changed Broken out of the deep
freeze stasis after three long years Once more to pick up the reins This time
infinity rings We all need a second chance sometimes Top location prime realty
Logic leads us on this dance To tomorrow expectantly Caligula sense of reality
You and I always playing games You wait I wait tension strain Kissing and
running away
2- BACK TO FIFTEEN
BALLS AGAIN- Back to fifteen balls again From the shops they came In three
bags of string As the weeks went by we built this thing me two men and a woman
In three pyramids multiplied The angle shows a sharp divide Where the swords
are pushing through To create more matter for me and you Matter transferred and
applied You can hear about plot lines anytime The blades they scissor through
and through As the information passes to and fro Strategy map on the go Make a
plan I told you so Rooted on Earth infinity repeat Pleasure droid my heart and
soul You bring the Mountain to its feet Weekly turnaround put to sleep Return
to you reliably when the time is right Cut it open with a knife And celebrate
our Death tonight
3- GREEN AND BLUE-
In chaos black in blue we chase Scorpion and Hawk like driving in the dark
Shrug off the dark and make it into colour if you
dare Colours lit up in the dark Snot and Scaly and
Sunburst and Ice Colours light up in the dark
Cornfields stubble grass and plough We canter through it anyhow Sat astride
with Valour now The going was good the going was soft
Born Free Held Aloft Fall like skittles when we get it right No more round the
clock Find a future by day or night This is what we’ve got Blue you are like
electric light I’ll give you my best shot Embarked on a life together now
Coordinated just how In sand and muted colours go I
want you more Than I even ever did before Blue and Green ambiguous seem Like
our surrounding country Green and Blue signs for the highway back to you Like
indicators and full beam too In camouflage we pursue
4- BREAK THE ICE-
Broad daylight is what we do Check in like the graphic on your wall And push on
through Hang on in there Breeze on through For that shape and everything Nervewracking white knuckle ride Break the ice O Break the
ice On thin ice On thin ice Twelve dragons circling in the skies Keep one close
to hand at all times Four Warlocks agreed amazingly The Witch Paths is how we
sold it A cycle of Mars is how we expand it Sorceress she move on ley lines The Ballad of
5- DESCENDANTS OF
KALI- Perhaps they trashed me because I floored the High Priestess on your
behalf After we took over at theWitch’s House High
Priestess rules Cancer High Priestess and The Moon Another example of The Moon
Pisces And with Artemis at the Southam Horse Posse
Although Minerva glanced with such an evil stare at me Where we are found in
our allegiances Would you commit if only for a day or two across the months We
both have things to do The signpost shows many possible routes Decisions tower
above you I stand tall and admire the view Alive to share these moments Think
on my feet to guess the contrast Descendants of Kali or the Stairway
Descendants of Kali sat under a tree These dark girls are amassing Descendants
of Kali are your shortcoming Skater Girl you are in danger Yet more to contend
with Or is it just a ruse
6- 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
7-FOR HAPPINESS,
FOR SHARING, FOR SUCCESS- For happiness, for sharing, for success Any
number of balls in this mess Enter Darkness purify Make more dark or bring to
light Bring it to the open sky Jolt of adrenaline Naturally high Electric shock
when the cards they fly Now for two guitars I’m writing Two sisters join battle
With us fighting Now I want to see her again Get you dressed up right Dressed
up in your armour For the Big Fight Revolving doors
are we You in your scene And me in me Ball and Claw in two centres
Like a trap at each end My Queen of Sheba Quite delicious Like the catfood not too vicious For Happiness for Sharing for
Success as one thing overtakes another The Progression of the Year Succeed or
Fail on our own terms, and love the fruit!
8- FOR THE WRONG
REASONS- Strike a pose in your new clothes You always wear black like a
Super Hero And in your green Sight unseen You are the most beautiful that will
ever be Conspiracy Factualist Empirically Above a promontory float several
balls Above bad bends and potential falls Some of these things have been hard
for us to say All my words are about us again A heel on The Wheel A heel on The
Tarot Direction leads straight in I suppose Up in a Tower pick apart our bones
Just because she says so Not counting all the things you throw It did me a favour though She appeared to me in a vision disguised At
the place where I go to ride Sky Burial shot on mirrors With a Vulture graphic
As I fight off all my rivals Sweet darling come sleep with me Temple of Vesta where we are five Silence Mortal she says to me
9- 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
10- PUSSYCAT-
Shagging some Pussy in the Countryside She’s only a cat but I can’t decide I’ve
got a week but its’s being denied Up in London
visiting my Pride Sniff around it Promise more time Kinky boots trot through my
mind When we’re together we harmonise Draw them in
and hit the skies Because how we feel affects the clouds On your rhythms we
rely We’ve got something special you and I It is the best view in the room
there Sophie I’ve had a foothold up there since the early Nineties Spellbound I
am in your entirety People come and go in their hordes Entire lifetimes when
we’ve been away and come back again Run it through the Markets everyday
11- WE ARE THE
LADDER- Foundations on this planet more Unto the highest aethyrs soar We do agreable3 and 4 3 and 4 our mysteries We
can do couples together We are The Ladder More like a skull better than the
Weather Ministry of Information given free Acting like an incentive scheme Ten
years now since we climbed aboard The Taxi of Light And the Witch Paths of the
deck are now in our sight In flexibility Power in Strawberries true Magick unfolds like in spells for us two Grab the wheel and
grit my teeth Behind the wheel and drive Two angels dancing in the Sunlight And
on to your Fame and Fortune Emperor rules by Improbability Drive As carrots
become a car and so, a cigarette, a can of coke... Above the Sphinx, me and
you, Grip the Power 5 by 4- 1 2 3 4 Yow!
