BARBED WIRE KISSES (B-SIDES AND MORE)

Don't Ever Change

Well I guess I never saw her in that way
Well I guessed everything always ends that way
Oh I guess I should have tried to make her stay
Keep on coming
Keep on coming

Some people live their lives to understand
Some people live their lives to take command
But the day has come when I must make my stand
Keep on coming
Keep on coming

Don't ever change
Don't ever change
Change
Change
If I can't get to you

It's just the way you tried to hold me down
You got a hold on me and I'm scared to make a sound
And you know everything I ever tried to say
Come on keep on coming please don't walk away
You got a hold on me and I'm scared to let you go

Just Out Of Reach

Take a walk, to the beach
Take a walk, back to the sea
Take a walk with me, back to the beach
I take a walk with you, just out of reach
Just out of reach (x4)

I see the sun here
I see the sand
I see the sun here
You take my hand (x4)
* ? * sand

Just out of reach(x4)

You take a walk with me, back to the sea
You take a walk with me, back to the beach
Just out of reach (x4)

I see the sun on you
I see the sand
I see the sun on you
You take my hand (x3)
Back to the sand


Happy Place

I'm going back to a happy place
All my life I've lived to taste
Someone else's flavours on my tongue

Cherry take me back to the start of it all
Where everyone's up then everyone falls
Almost could destroy me with her kiss

Oh, I wish that I could feel
And I feel too real
For this grey moat
And me, I'm drifting like the sun
Down on everyone, the TV sky

Save me
Come and save me
Come on touch me
Come on and touch me
Come on hold me
Come on and hold me
I live my life for something I can't see
Let me take you in my summer dream

Sidewalking

Chilled to the bone and five miles to home
I'm messing in the dark and feeling all alone
I got ice in my fire got the heat in my wire
Inject a little heat I'm burning up the tyres

Sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking

Talking like I'm on and I'm the only one
I'm making like I'm done and staring like a gun
And I gotta get a car and I gotta get a ride
Gotta get a car got jesus on my side

Sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking sidewalking

Messing in the dark and walking all alone
Alone in the streets I know just where I'm going

Sidewalking sidewalking

Chilled to the bone Chilled to the bone
Hot wired heat all the way home

Everything's Alright When You're Down

Some kind a strange kind of feelings coming over me
I bled from the back to the front for the world to see
You gotta run
You gotta stay
Cause I'll be screaming to have had my way
I got my head in the gutter and it looks as if it's gonna stay
I, just can't take it
I, don't you say it
I, I can't take it, oh
I, fuck me down now
I, run me down now
I, run around now, oh
I now have hit the ground
And just look at what I found
Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey
Strange as it can seem
Like livin' in a scream
Everything is alright when you're down, hey hey
Everything I say is going wrong

Upside Down

We're moving 'round and 'round
Can't hear a single sound
And when I hit the ground
I heard a ringing sound
Uh-huh-huh
I heard a ringing sound
And my head hit the ground
Uh-huh-huh
Inside I'm upside down

You live with so much carelessness
'Cause no one takes you serious
That makes you feel so dangerous
You wish you never was
But you can't see

And if you feel there's no one else
That you're all alone, you're by yourself
Your life is like a broken shell
It doesn't really matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Knowing you can't see

Inside I feel so bad
So low I feel so sad
Feels like I'm going mad
Best friend I've ever had
Uh-huh-huh
Feels like I'm going mad
Best friend I've ever had
Uh-huh-huh
So low I feel so sad

You live with so much carelessness
'Cause no one takes you serious
And now you think you're dangerous
You never was but you can't see
And if you feel there's no one else
You're all alone and by yourself
Your life is like a broken shell
It doesn't really matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Doesn't matter to me
Knowing you can't see
Upside down [x 10]


Taste Of Cindy

Crack of dawn
Cindy's movin' on
Talking Cindy to everyone
Til she's had her fun
She has me
We twist the sun and sea
Still she's talking to everyone
Cindy's had her fun
Though I've heard it before
Still I need you more and more
But I just can't get away
Cindy kills me every day
And I tried and I tried
But you looked right through me
Knife to my head when she talks so sweetly
Knife in my head when I think of Cindy
Knife in my head is the taste of Cindy

Swing

I wish that you and me would be
Inside of a rubber dream
I wish we'd walk and I wish we'd swing
Down to the sunshine thing
I got you and I want my head
I look like I come in death
I don't doubt your word
I don't doubt your word
And it had to be inside my rubber holy dream
It means, it's good.
And it seems that I should go on
Back to where I've been it seems I've gone
I wish I'd seen it all
Inside my covered hole
I think I seen my head
I think I seen my head
I wish I'd seen the time
I wish I could walk in time
I'm making sense in my own way
And I dragged you all the way


On The Wall

Unlike the mole
I'm not in a hole
And I can't see anyway
Just like a doll
I'm one feet tall
But dolls can't see anyway
The frozen stare
The clothes and hair
These make me taste like a man
Tied to a door
Chained to a floor
An hour glass grain of sand
Swim in the sea
Swim inside me
But you can't swim far away
I never grew
Covered up by you
And nothing grows anyway
Life in a sack is coming back
I'm like the clock on the wall

Mushroom

When I saw, sky's were red
I was born and I was dead
When I saw her mushroom hair
I was born and I was dead
When I saw her mushroom hair
I was born and I was dead
I gotta keep my distance
I gotta keep my distance
Gotta keep my, gotta keep my
Gotta keep my

When I saw, sky's of rain
I was born and I was dead
I gotta keep my distance
I gotta keep my distance
I gotta keep my, I gotta keep my
I gotta keep my

Hey, hey, hey
