1995 - Subliminal LP

Blood From A Stone

If you could sell your mistakes then you'd buy them back just to pay
An' you talk talk talk like you got something important to say
You're the one who knows
How to break the spell
It's a deadly secret
So hide it. That's the best
Hide it from your brothers
Hide it form the rest
Push it in your mouth to hide it from yourself

You put me into reason
But kept it all wrong
I've got to take your money
And run from the gold
I could take the pity
Like blood from a stone
Now in my eyes you're so fuckin unreal
To think everyone craves for the truth you conceal
Grabbed a handful of sand
And it turned to stone
Then it turned to water
Then to sand again
Darkness burns your candle
Possession possessed you bet you did know

You get yourself a reason
But kept it a fraud
I'd like to get you honey, but your cells are bold
I can take the pity
Like blood from the stone

I got to get your money and run from the gold
Oooohh blood from the stone
I could take the pity...

Skin

I saw the top of the mountain
Tattooed on the back of your neck
Tryin to make me understand
Why some flowers don't need light
To grow an' bloom on your skin
With a wound an' a kiss
I'm so grateful
So fuckin grateful
For those scars on my skin
How can I show you how much I owe you?
Hey hey hey
Love you more than I can hurt myself

No head, just bones and roses
Tattooed on the motorway skin
Control the breath of this thrill an
Make me refuse your gifts...
Hey hey hey...
I love you more than I can hurt myself

Huppy Crasher

There's a river flowin
You're gonna get where it's going
You're gonna come, gonna come
Like justice on stolen land

Far from the sun,
Out of luck and into the ground
Save this man, load his gun
This is what I mean.

Yeah the moon and the sun
They'll drop and fall doawn
And the walls, the walls the walls will come down
Yeah the waves n'the sun
They'll crash and crack down
Filling your scream and teasing your mind

Dealing with society
I saw you crossing the red sea
Puttin iron all over yourself
Ready for the miracle you've learned to expect

All over town,
Close to fear and high above the ground
Save some words loadin his gun
This is what I hear

Yeah the moon and the sun
They'll drop and fall down...

Sister Dawn

Wake me up (locked inside the room a little dog called hate)
With a handful of nails (is left there to die all alone)
Crystallize me with a hit f hope (What kind of animal did this?)
Then tie me around you with your sugar rope (Shadowed by your light 'n' guided by the shots)
What if I wake up inside your dream?
Will it feel like coming home again?
Always used to exile your children
Sister dawn...

Shadowed by your light (I don't know where you're coming from)
Deflected by the wind, enlightened by the dark (You're gonna blind me with reality)
No one's in this lane except a thousand goodbyes (You know, I mailed myself a bomb)
Travellin' off from the center, yours from the very start (So tell me, will you come?)

What would I do if you had no place to go?
Would I sleep on the concrete floor?
Always used to exile your children!
Sister Dawn...

And the sea?
Will it still be there?

The Drop

Black waters, where are you takin me?
Shadowed myself into one thousand drops
The sun laughed and barefoot I followed

Is that all we can give to each other?
A sip of poison and a burned out cigarette?
A moment so intense and hollow?

And you, you will find the meaning
The mean machine 's fuelled by your dreams
Do you want to share the feeling?
Share it with the spirit of the sea
Up on the mountains of the deep

I inhale this something out of nothing
O close my eyes the sound disappears
Water slips slowly through my nostrils

And now thw children they all know
About the man who sings this song
Up on the mountains of the deep...

You, you will find the meaning
The mean machine is fuelled by your dreams
Do you wanna share the feeling?
Share it with the spirit of the sea
Up on the mountains of the deep...
Locked on a six-feet wave
I saw you dancing on the shore

Helmethead

Oh Lord I'm tryin' to get to you
With the breath of the beast all around me
The burnin flags lead me to you

Helmethead/Jesus head

Two bullets cross myh way back
I disappear into the holy barrel
Burning the highway to keep you warm
Burning the highway to kkep you warm
Helmethead / Better drop dead

I';ll make it to the fountain of love
Dark is the river
Black is the sea
There's no hand to help me
No hand to rescue me

Helmethead/Jesushead

I'll make it to the fountain of love
