Hefner

The Cherubim and the Seraphim and the Thrones, they all sing, They raise their wings to the glory of God. The Dominions and the Powers, and the Virtues, they all toss their weary heads for the sorrow of god. The angels don't know why your skin is so whit...

I saw flowers by the side of the road, The flowers distract me from the side of the road, The car brakes the belly aches, One short year I've been awake, The flowers by the road just stink of boredom, I want to be a better man, I want the brains to trea...

Bless the coffee that passes between her lips, ‘cause the caffine gives the woman a nervous twitch. When she crossed those big white thighs, what I saw could hardly have been intended. And her skirted suit it implies to me, She should not chastise so cal...

Sobriety breeds sincerity, and Lydia Pond she is my gravity. I don't know how she felt when she took that E, But in the morning she shaking, she was twitching, she was jerking. On June the 5th she moved to Paris, she could not stand the state of British pol...

Ever felt like giving up? I've felt like giving up. But not since 1969. I found a greater truth, At a godly altitude, Won't waste another day of my life. As we tumbled down to earth, We felt the capsule turn, We saw the blue skies burn. As we splas...

I will polish your shoes, I will bring you good news, Put a smile on your face, tidy your place, As soon as you're ready. I will build you a ship, Out of matchsticks, And float it down the Thames, when we've made amends, As soon as you're ready. As soo...

The girl is blind and beautiful, I'm honour bound and dutiful, Her head is warm, her skin is cool and she's got religion in a big way. She says those hands are healing hands, She says she's travelled many lands, and i bet that she's got healing hands But...

Those prying eyes are vultures eyes, your face I should be hiding. At last I am confiding in you. Your deeds are full of worthiness but end in abstract emptiness you're going to die a witch's death it's true. And if one of us should chance to die, the other...

Everybody wants my girlfriend, Every girl wants to be her. Every boys head turns to look at her hips curve, But her sweet hips swing just for me. With her clip clop heels and those thin ankle straps, Those dirty boys feel she should walk on their backs,...

Its not the spiritual, its not the intellectual, Its not the merely pitiful, that makes me feel this way. Its not the walk that I take through the park to her place, It's the breath she takes inbetween the words her mouth makes. Oh curse my mind for not ce...

I bet your eyes aren't really that blue, I think they've been airbrushed in by an artist who doesn't care. And I bet your hair isn't really that blonde, but isn't it the way we wanted it to be. And I bet you don't usually smile that much, especially with som...

What was I thinking of Making those eyes wet and weary What was I doing with her photograph Stapled upon my chest Trying to look dignified As we pick up our clothes from the floor I said that I've changed my mind Don't want to wait and see anymore Cau...

She's out of her mind, She's not like this all the time, If she was I'd be lost, But I want to be lost. I love the feeling of losing control, The city lights are letting me know, That we are lost, oh but I want to be lost. Everything's falling apart....

The spaces between all the times is where I lay my sweet heart down the spaces between her cruelest insults is where I stopped being faithful The gap between fat Kelly's teeth distracts my eyes from her body And as she pulls me to the floor I don't...

If it doesn't mean a thing, then don't say anything. But it means something, more then we can say. But you kissed me so, even though, Your heart said no, so when will you phone? Lost feelings of love come flooding back, Every time you cry, you give me l...

Not to be outdone, Not to be unrewarded. I put my best foot forward, It went straight in my mouth. She said, 'You dirty little louse, Why don't you cook and clean the house?' And then she went straight out. She left behind her coat and mittens. She...

God he is the author the creator of your sex, And God creates the air that flows underneath your legs, So why don't you just lie back and think of bethlehem, When will you lie with me again. Last time we made love in Berlin, oh I noticed tiny bruises on yo...

When I do bad things She makes the phone ring She has no faith in my faith And I'm regretting Not wearing Long-sleeved shirts to her place I should have persevered With the girl I always wanted to Lose my virginity to The girl I always wanted to Los...

In the 1980's I was busy hating, All of the intangible, the impossibly impractical ideas I'd never understand. And in the 1990's, it was far too exciting for words, And now I'm drinking adult drinks and now I have the time too think that sex is so overrate...

Put on your necklace, put on your dress. Pull on those tights on the legs that I like. Polish your shoes, gloss up those lips. Step to the beat and hang on my hips. This jubilee won't you dance the night with me? Because I love you, don't go. Because I l...

Don't need people, what good are people? People just get in the way. Just take everything I said for the past three years, Put it in a box, throw the key away. Don't need reasons, cause there's no reason, For you to be here with me. Let's take everything...

Julie, come see me, I'll be like the one you want to see, please, Could you do the same for me? Don't cut your hair. Don't wear crap shoes. Drive with care. I want you to stay like this. I want the weather to stay like this. I want this kiss to stay li...

Sitting side by side with a lunch box on her thighs, She won't look at me that way, she won't talk about her boyfriend. She looks so good it hurts, oh we'll soon be back at work, Cause our lunch breaks nearly over, if only I could hold her, Want to brush t...

I shave myself with blunt razors, My clothes they do me no favours. I go to a restaurant where the skirts on the waitresses are far too short. I throw salt over my shoulder, for good luck 'cause now I walk over, To Kate Cleavers house to tell her that I wa...

It's the children that I feel for, Yes the children make me feel more, More than the liqour, more than the art, More than the Beach Boys records. It's the drink that gives us heartache, It's the charity we won't take, We feel so empty and our late twenti...

Mother is fucked up, Father is fucked up, But they're not as fucked up as me. This dear has trestles hanging to her ankles, This dear's far wiser than me. 'What's that sound?', the sound of Mary Lees heart breaking, She used to be my one and only true lov...

I'm tired of boys who fight with girls and stain their sheets, And girls who tell stories of boys and graze their knees, And where did you get to smell so sweet, Is that sweetness for me, And where did I find these eyes that I found, They will surely let...

Darling don't you know after I've bathed with you, I'm going to bury my face in the towel you used. I'm going to fill a bottle with the tears you weep, I'm going to brush your teeth whilst your asleep. Why don't you twist with me, it must be a temptation....

Now I believe the angels taunt my laughs and bless my sighs, Oh god is my crutch and my need is such I want to smell all the sheets where she lies, Her sermon is a burden and I cower and crave all the love she gives to others in spades, She is wisdom, she i...

When I'm feeling sad, she is feeling nothing. When she's on the land , I am underwater; Swimming to the devil in the hope that the words that she stole from my mouth will be placed right back. When I'm underfed, she is being gluttonous, eating all the cak...

She made me sweat, she mad me swoon. Oh she put me off my food. And when her boyfriend left the room, She showed me her tattoo. The girls wear roll necks, the boys wear button-downs and they sit and they frown, As she leads me to her room. And now she's...

I'm in love with Linda, I think she understands me. She's down in the dumps, she lives on Holloway Road, I met her in the Wig and Gown, We couldn't talk with the music so loud but I could tell she was intrigued, She took me down to her basement, she showed...

You had peppermint gum stuck between your teeth, You had white shoes and bare knees in 1983. I had you breast in my hand underneath the tree, But as the tree lost it's leaves you went up and left me for an awkward kind of boy, Who was far too tall and true...

You should pull up your socks girl, You should be calling in the favours, You should be putting the hours, You should pull your self together. There's a limp to my walk, I speak wisdom when I talk, And I will ride you up to heaven, If you pull yourself...

I see the short skirts but its not summer yet, Before I leave just give me one last cigarette, Cause on the bus I won't stop looking at the schoolgirl's knees, Cause on the bus I can't stop looking at the schoolgirl's knees, And every weekend you say we're...

Waves that big will sink a ship this size, The memory of the friends we lose, Stains our days like a bruise. In a storm like this, this vessel will capsize, My love has the prettiest head cause Jesus sleeps between her legs. On the holiest of nights, w...

She works every morning in the greasy cafeteria, She makes little pastries and stuffs them with cheese. The coffee burns her knuckles, Every time she spills it. She's alone, she's bereft. When he moved to Hackney in 1990, He bought in little trinkets but...

In five minutes I'll be leaving this room, she doesn't listen but my word how I swoon when she talks, but talk is never enough. The dirty talk that's what's bothering me, And the gaudy walls of this rented property, I think I'm watching too much porn on T...

It took a little time, it took a little wine, To make a window, to make you mine. It took a little look, that made you shudder, It took a little tear to draw you near But all the while you knew your smile, Would make it easy to fall in love. It took a l...

We will laugh the day that Thatcher dies, Even though we know it's not right, We will dance and sing all night. I was blind in 1979, by '82 I had clues, By 1986 I was mad as hell. The teachers at school, they took us for fools, They never taught us what...

Inside the fear we find the tenderness, Inside the thought we find the urge, Inside the love we find the heart, But the heart is weak and so it breaks, inside we find the fear Inside the language we find joy, But stupidity can only annoy, The stupid can...

It's a red, red glow above the skyline, Feel the city twitch, Feel the city wake. It's a black, black sky by 6pm, Makes me feel inspired, Makes me feel alone. I'm coming home to you. The Greater London Radio tonight, Says no matter what I do I can't sp...

I had her on the carpet twisting and squirming about, Trying to guess what she needs, Trying to guess what the fuss was about. She had a conscience that surely did need pricking, I was there for the picking as she would soon find out. The Greedy Ugly Pe...

Oh, that wasn't me that was the caffeine talking, You should go to bed because tomorrow your working but if you want to smoke all night, I don't mind, Oh, I met a girl who took me to her favourite bar, We went back to hers and then we went too far, but I li...

Don't start me on the rum, Just because it makes me numb. Start me on the whiskey I know whiskey is his drink. You never drank it with me but now you drink it with him, I'm not good enough for whiskey, not good enough for you. Let's start drinking wine, we...

No-one called, no-one wrote, no-one phoned, So no-one knew that I was with her on my own. She smoked on my bed cause she thought it would annoy me, But I love to watch the girls smoke in my bed. I love to watch the girls smoke in my bed. I love to watch t...

Even if you feel it, even if it's heartfelt, Even if it's true, I don't want to hear those words from you. I don't want to hear you say we're through. The aperture was set all wrong, On the only photo I have , with your hair long. And now I feel I just c...

I did the right thing in the wrong way, And now there's hell to pay. She keeps banging at my window, Keeping at me night and day. There were bad times on the good days, But I can take the pain, Nobody's making me feel guilty, Nobody's feeling shame. Ca...

He started to woo her in the most peculiar way The librarian's dress was a fawner shade of grey The books he was to borrow he would surely never read They had an intellectual calibre he hoped that she would see He planned to take her home to bed some day...

Since my baby left me, I'm doing pretty well, I've lost a few pounds, As you can probably tell. And since she loves another, It's not as bad as you might think. I'm resting on my laurels, But it's got me time to think. Because I'm busy doing nothing,...

The night she got the Swastika tattoo Her lips were cherry red Her eyes were sapphire blue The night we let the bombs off in the forest She got so horny We made love in the pines The wind blows softer Down in southern Arkansas The match hits the paraf...

You wouldn't believe in my new belle she flits and weaves a curious spell, And under my skin there's a place where she resides. Finding a release in prayers and psalms I will obey her articulate commands, She is just a coquette and how I wish I could forget...

Eating all the right food, taking all the right pills, turning on the TV, Just trying to make the days a little shorter so the night comes quicker when I see you. But the food doesn't work, and the pills don't work and the silence hurts, Can't make myself f...

There's just a sea between us, I know this hope will find us. This serenade reminds us, Be calm, be strong, be patient. White skin and auburn hair that, Just makes me stare and stare and, You're a friend that really cares and, You have a healing quality...

I took photos along the journey, a photo of a girl on the bus, But the film wasn't wound on, the camera was broke so all of the pictures were lost. There was a photo of her face, she looked about 23, A photo of her grey flannel dress that was cut just belo...

He is sixteen going on seventeen, He got splinters from raising high the roof beams, Living it, loving it, got to keep speaking it, He don't feel it like we need it, When his grubby face shows we know how the song goes. Trouble Kid, Just look at what he...

Now that I've communicated everything I feel I think I'll go, You never really listened and I couldn't have expected you to know, And now I hate everybody and everybody hates me guess I should have known. The truth is an objective, only the strong hearted p...

Everyday I'm waking up to you, Every time I see your face I'm feeling something true. And since we gave up drugs and started drinking I feel new. I think I learned to love because of you. Everyday I'm waking up to you, I can't believe you love me after ho...

We don't care what they say about us, anymore. They laugh, we don't reply, there's no reason to tell them why, You are with me tonight. We don't care what they say about us, anymore. Oh I feel for you, you feel for me, so of course it must be true, You wi...

This is London, not Antartica, so why don't the tubes run all night, You are my Girlfriend, not Molly Ringwald, so why won't you stay here tonight, This is sixth form poetry not Keats or Yeats, and now we find the part that we both hate. We love the city b...

I thought you said that you'd phone me this weekend, Cause at the weekend the phone calls are cheaper. You left a note but I did not read it, I threw it away. I took a tube to the west end of London, To see a friend who I'd almost forgotten, He gave me h...

And we drove, on a wet and windy road, to the coast, to a dirty seaside town, found a room, in a hotel by the sea, unpacked our bags, and then she looked at me. And 'I said, let me, let you, let me down again', She said 'no' 'let me, let you, let me down...

Sit down, shock is better taken with bent knees, Shock is better taken with sugary tea, What you said to me was rotten and nasty. And if I can I'm going to build myself a wicker girl, And fill it with used tissues, When I burn it I will think of you. Th...

The foreign language TV shows make me feel so sick you know, and I've been gone three days or so and you're not on the answer phone. And sex is very painful but at least it feels a night or so, I want to wake the neighbours with our cries of joy and ecstatic...

It's a beautiful road from your head to your toes, I will travel it with my fingers barely touching. It's a sight to behold from your head to your toes, I will worship it with kisses and cheap wine. What do you want with me, now you've seen me at my worst...
