Pure Angelic Girl
I'm not the one that you've been dreaming of
I'm not some pure angelic girl with optimistic views on life
I'm dark, I walk down a darkened hall
I am a woman I never wanted to be
I am a woman
I am a woman
Wrapped around my heart is wrapped a razor wire
Strung out hard, my body's threatened by the movement of desire
Satisfy me, must beguile me, lover love
I am a woman I always thought I could be
A crocodile
Of men and women through my arms
I blame my father the first deserter
The first who could really hurt her
And I'm looking for Daddy
I'm strung out and I've always found
A misery I'm not deserving of
I want to carve my life into your eyes
So you can cry cry cry
Like I have cried cried cried
Cry cry cry
My blood beats faster than my heart can stand
Release me set me free
I am a woman I always thought I could be

Be Around
I don't like standing around making conversation just to talk
I want to feel my hands on my skin as you drag me away
You should take me out of this house into the world you know
You should take me out of this house into the works you know
I want to be around when you're dreams are realised
But if they never do
I want to be around to make it all right
Incredible circumstance brought me to you
I know you saw me
It was obvious too
It was easy destined to be
Somebody told me your name
It was easy destined to be
But I knew it anyway
I want to touch you
I want to hold you
I Want to be with you
I want you
I want to be around when you're dreams are realised
But if they never do
I want to be around to make it all right

Orange Dress
I unzip my bag
And everything falls out
I close my eyes
But nothing's in there now.
You were supposed to stop me before I go this far
Unfamiliar walls surround me
I almost always get my way
My orange dress was supposed to do it today
You were supposed to have to get it off by now
You were supposed to stop me before I got this far
Unfamiliar walls surround me
You should be wrapped around me
You should be wrapped around me
Well all my thoughts
Stand beside me
And all my fears
They are inside me
We were supposed to get it on by now
Unfamiliar walls surround me
You should be wrapped around me
You should be wrapped

Safer Than a Baby
This time I feel safer
than a child nestled away
I feel safer than a baby
pressed up against it mothers breast
This time
This time
All I can remember
of the life I had before
Is sitting in the living room
Watching my life spill on the floor
Last time
Last time
The touching of our skin
Tempting fate by making predictions
I won't be losing faith
All good comes to those who wait
Push your hair back off your face
You know you look good in a ponytail
Sorry if I'm staring
but your love just gets me in
This time
This time
The touching of our skin
Tempting fate by making predictions
I won't be losing faith
All good comes to those who wait
This time
This time
I feel
I feel
Safer
This time I feel safer
Than a child nestled away
The touching of our skin
Tempting fate by making predictions
I won't be losing faith
All good things comes to those who wait
All good comes to those who wait
This time
I feel safer

Sentences
It's hard to say this exactly
This time all those words fail me
And every time I convince myself
That you're coping and I'm moving
Sitting here in the pit of my belly
Responsibility crippling
You just won't release me
How can we kid ourselves its working?
I've never seen you so unhappy
Holding on won't make it better
Everyday were getting weaker
You just won't release me
Sentences are never long enough
To put all our hearts into
Reasoning who's right
Reasoning who's wrong
Well never get along like we used to get along
And I could never say I'd commit to you
I'd never say that I'd die for you
And I only wish that I could be constantly here for you
But the only thing I can say is that I care for you
You just wont release me
You just wont release me
It's hard to say this exactly
This time all my words fail me
And every time I've convinced myself
That you're coping and I'm moving
Sitting here in the pit of my belly
Responsibility crippling
You just wont release me
Sentences are never long enough
To put all our hearts into
Reasoning who's right
Reasoning who's wrong
Well never get along like we used to get along
Like we used to get along
Like we used to get along
Like we used to get along
Get along
We used to get along
We used to get along

Joy and Pain
You gave me all you had
But I pushed you away
But you insisted you made yourself ill
And so you forced me to stay
And now it's easy
Easy to listen to my sex
And now it's easy
Easy to rock someone to sleep
And now it's easy
Easy it's easy touching your flesh
And now it's easy
Easy to fall back in
You're my joy and pain
You're my joy and pain
You're my joy and pain
You're my every thing again
But I'm not satisfied
I do this all for you
And it's killing me slowly
I do this all for you
Let me go
And now it's easy
Easy to listen to my sex
And now it's easy
Easy to rock someone to sleep
And now it's easy
Easy it's easy touching your flesh
And now it's easy
Easy to fall back in
You're my joy and pain
You're my joy and pain
You are my joy and pain
You are my every thing
Again
I've been your slave baby
I've been at your beck and call
I've been your slave baby
I've done anything at all
I've been your slave baby

If I Spoke to You
I have held you here
too closely to my body
For you to start lying to me now
If I spoke to you
If I looked into your eyes
I'd see everything you're trying to hide
Inside nothing changes
No I don't hate you
You know I never could
You know if I spoke to you
If I looked into your eyes
I'd see everything you're trying to hide
You've got to trust me
You've got to believe in me
And if it's over
You know I want to be
I have held you here
too closely to my body
For you to start lying to me now
You know if I spoke to you
If I looked into your eyes
I'd see everything you're trying to hide
If I spoke to you
If I looked into your eyes
I'd see everything you're trying to hide
If I spoke to you

Mary
Halleluiah
Halleluiah
Mary always hated her name
A good strong catholic name
Good in every possible way
Even Mary Magdalene was a saint
She was saved by her name
She was saved by her name
She was saved
Mary had always wished her name was something wicked like Delilah
She had always wanted to be more important and more memorably bad
She was saved by her name
She was saved by her name
She was saved
She was saved
She would pray that somebody come down and take her soul
Make her into a hip little monkey
Every night she prayed
Someone come down and take her spirit
And make her into a hip little monkey baby
Jesus come on down and make me into a hip little monkey baby
A hip little monkey
"Jesus don't you leave me with this name", she cried
"Jesus don't you leave me with this name", she cried
Saved by her name
Would she be saved by her name
She prayed she would be saved by her name
Saved by her name
Mary
Mary, mother of God
She had a child that was nobody's natural son
saved by his name
