Her tempers are legendary I kiss all her injuries I miss her terribly Until she comes back to me My bundle of chaos My darling daughter Whose will is like iron Whose whims are like water She studies biology She studies psychology She teases me terribly She’s got the measure of me My parcel of promise My dazzling daughter Who fills me with laughter Who gives me no quarter I don’t know who she will be Will she have blue eyes like me Will she worry terribly Will she live here peacefully

Diagonal 03:37
There’s no universal but her love There’s no universe in which she’s not set above We burned all the fossil fuel, no other world is possible My baby is diagonal, she cuts right across Verify the evanescent High-fidelity baby, yeah I believe in the eternal present I believe in what I’ll never love again There’s no underpinning but her love There’s no game of life in which she’s not made her move So why be miserable, no other world is possible, My baby’s an original, she shines in the dross Ratify the incandescent It’s the unnameable baby, yeah I believe in the eternal recurrence I believe in what I know will come again It’s make or break time, baby, Tell me yes or no Reality is binary The rest is for show Reify the evanescent High-fidelity baby, yeah I believe in the forbidden occurrence I believe in what I know I'll love again

It's A Grind 02:59
It’s a grind most every day I try to be mindful but my mind’s gone grey It’s a grind, it’s a grind in every way Just make it go away Black dog Boiling frog Look what crawled out from under the log Mister frown Has come to town Clawed his way in from the upside-down Brain fog Sucking bog My clockwork is missing a cog Long long term Bridges are burned This time the damage is permanent It’s a grind most every day my nerves are shredded and my temper’s frayed It’s a grind, it’s a grind in every way Just make it through the day (It's a grind, it's a grind) (It's a grind, it's a grind)

You were bred for this, remember This is your service to others Everyone gives a little something of themselves To keep this cruel world turning You were reared for this together Back at the house, another bumper crop arrives It nourishes the spirit Oh, but how my flesh grows weary Maybe this will be my last donation I am destined for completion This is my becoming human Everyone gives every last piece of themselves To keep the home fires burning But you, you hold my memory The only thing, the only thing that’s left of me Well some are born survivors And some are just born givers Don’t think about what might have been Don’t think about what might have been

Spraypaint on my door somebody keyed my car somebody must be sore you know how women are they’re out to ruin me for my behavi-ah uh-uh-uh-allegedly you know how women are you know how women are and if you don’t then wise up friend you’ll understand me when you know how women are gotta taste ‘em, every one Honeys are my caviar it’s an a-dick-she-on I gotta know how women are call me a peeping tom Smash up my camera you got a wandering womb It’s just way you women are you know how women are It’s time for you to wise up friend They’ll drive you round the bend Until you know how women are I’ll be your cancellee You be my cancel-ah You better punish me Show me how women are

They call this ship The bonny boy It sails on oceans Green and blue In lashing rain In doldrums drear The bonny boy Knows what to do With golden sails The bonny boy With compass true The bonny boy This dustbin lorry Rolling through Your neighbourhood In royal blue This helicopter Swooping low Is just in time To rescue you With pistons strong The bonny boy With rotors whirring The bonny boy They call this ship The bonny boy It sails on oceans Green and blue In doldrums drear In howling wind The bonny boy Is pulling through With a head of steam The bonny boy With wheels of steel The bonny boy

Ejector Seat 03:04
Oh, you need a prison break It’s so unfair, they put you in there By mistake Oh, you got misdiagnosed They made you cough and drop And try to touch your toes Hit the ejector seat Hit the blue, blue sky Hit the ejector seat Let’s fly Oh, you need a mini-break you don’t have what it takes your life’s the wrong shape Oh, for pity’s sake The day-to-day just makes your eyeballs ache Hit the ejector seat Hit the blue, blue sky Hit the ejector seat Let’s fly Oh, the sea is big and blue It eats your parachute And then it swallows you Oh, to be in your own bed You watch the aeroplanes Go zooming overhead Hit the ejector seat Hit the blue, blue sky Hit the ejector seat Let’s fly
