V.1
Oh riuncha, riuncha; ruincha.
Well ok baby, I can see it’s getting late.
Who stays saintly, when this hour is driving us wild.
Fine, I’ll take the hint, and slither on outta here.
PRE-CHORUS
V.2
(ruincha, ruincha, ruincha)
Well I can ease your mind; get you on the speed of our kind.
I know a bar that’s near and dear, playing dive bomb punk, without a leer.
My intellects are only matched by a feline, who’s feeling fine.
PRE-CHORUS
BRIDGE
Well it’s true the, the feelings it consumes.
She’ll take the time to renew our flight.
V.3
I am so self-assured; it’s a ruincha.
I can feel my hand creeping nearer; it’s a ruincha.
Now you’ve slapped it, I thought I had it: in my style.
But it’s okay I’ve got the bottle in my other hand.
PRE-CHORUS
BRIDGE
Well it’s true the, the feelings it consumes.
She’ll take the time to renew our flight.
OUTRO-CODA
Oh, yeah she’s a babe that boasts x2
Na, na, na, na, na
Down tripping with style.
Yeah, yeah, yeah: she’s a babe that boasts.
Down on the river of my heart.

V.1
Hey mumma, yo mumma,
We’re dancing to the new groove
It’s the same as the old tunes
Hey mumma, you see the chords taking shape
CHORUS
I’m gonna send you back to school
I’m gonna send you back to school
I’m gonna send you back to school
With a piece of my heart, oh with a piece of my heart
V.2
Hey mumma, I ain’t your wonderboy
Hey mumma, I ain’t your wonderboy
It’s time you realized
It’s time you realized
CHORUS
I’m gonna send you back to school
I’m gonna send you back to school
I’m gonna send you back to school
With a piece of my heart, oh with a piece, of my heart
V.3
Hey mumma, yo sister
Light foot of an uncooked goose, yeah
It’s time you realized
It’s time you realized.
CHORUS
I’m gonna send you back to school
I’m gonna send you back to school
I’m gonna send you back to school
With a piece of my heart, oh with a piece, of my heart x4

My Dear

|
V.1
My dear, we’re just sitting on the fence, afraid of the idiom of success
My dear, you’ve always been blessed, may you be given the grace to see it
BRIDGE
When the shadows in your mind, contemplate their demise, I’ll be with you
V.2
My dear, even though they’ve taken you away, my blood will be with you
So my dear, this façade of good intent, will prove them wrong
BRIDGE
When the shadows in your mind, contemplate their demise, I’ll be with you
BREAKDOWN
May the crowds of people stare in despair, when I’m with you
Such a longing face, cold pallid features; I remain endeared
Coda
Well I guess I must be a bad man
I’m still, still, still a bad man

Brian Jones

|
V.1
Brian is a man who could not understand
He takes what he wants and calls it his right
Mr Jones is popping his creatine tonight
B.1
I wanna stare him down
Goddamn powderpuff
V.2
Brian strolls through the club, high on PCP
He mistakes a wall for a slight and comes up for a fight
Mr Jones is looking for a bum and a run tonight
B.2
I wanna stare him down
Goddamn
CHORUS
Screw my head on the scene, my head on the scene tonight
She said it's a hell of a drug, a hell of a drug to me
Modern love, a hell of a drug, a hell of a drug to me
To me, to me, to me, to me
V.3
Brain sees her flirting on the floor
So he walks on up and shuts her like a drawer
Mr Jones is a rapist for sure
B.3
I wanna stare him down
Goddamn
CHORUS
Screw my head on the scene, my head on the scene tonight
She said it's a hell of a drug, a hell of a drug to me
Modern love, a hell of a drug, a hell of a drug to me x 2
To me, to me, to me, to me
Breakdown:
Brian finds himself in the back of a paddy wagon
Holding his broken toys like a boy
CHORUS
Screw my head on the scene, my head on the scene tonight
She said it's a hell of a drug, a hell of a drug to me
Modern love, a hell of a drug, a hell of a drug to me x 2
To me (I am watching back on the bar), to me (it's a hell of a time), to me (I am watching back on the bar), to me (it's a hell of a time)

Harlequin Lover
05:08
|
|||
|
V.1
Back into thoughts of you, like oppression for the damned, hard bite for the skeptic, they've cracked again.
They’re on the streets, the celibates in demand, foul-mouthed and bloated, and bland.
Hard to see where the spark started; except to know it’s been in us since time began.
Pre Chorus
I fear the change
I fear the change
Chorus
Give me back my views, she knows, she knows -
She’s my harlequin lover, yeah
My harlequin lover, yeah
V.2.
A man once said, peace is its own reward, but you won’t hear that in these streets.
There’s a subtle message, of freedom and command, of eternity and the crammed - that parts are missing.
Shards of glass, and a flag raised in farce, the past arches its head and society turns.
Pre Chorus
I fear the change
I fear the change
I fear the change
Chorus x 2
Give me back my views, she knows, she knows -
She’s my harlequin lover, yeah
My harlequin lover, yeah
