A Letter From The 20th Century

by Poirot

/
1.
Obsessed 03:24
Let me carry you away, I'll be your night and day, I'll be your sun I can take the pressure, I can stand the weight, I hope you understand We will fly above some places Space itself has long ago erased I've never joked about anything, I'll be your God, I'm sure you'll be amazed And if you find me rather boring I will cut your head in two Just to make sure I'll be double bore for you And if you're clever and reject me By no means you're smarter than me I'll be back soon just to have your blood for tea Mirror mirror on the wall, tell me who's the weirdest of them all? Ride on, you will not regret, we are no fools, believe me, we won't fall Don't be scared, I am not armed yet I am loaded wiv loads of neat ideas We're takin' off, suck it all in, don't hold your breath, you never liked it here
2.
My Umbrella 05:25
Let me hold Weather's cold Keeps me warm Just need to get And rain keeps pouring down We've got to find some common ground But water takes you away from me Black and white Squeeze me tight Soakin' wet My favorite pet Someone stole my umbrella Yeah, the one that you'd bought for me
3.
Kelly 02:37
No sun today No yellow butterfly He's gone away My senses slowly die Secret revealed About sweet Kelly boy Though heads are healed These things can really annoy How come I hurt you? I'd never screw with virtue Alright, I heard you Go if you have to go But please remember Those flowers of December Was I a member? I guess but...now nothing more's left to say No sun today No need to wait for rain He's gone away And me on Lovers' lane Left all alone But I may leave this town For Kelly's zone So does this make me a clown?
4.
Monica 03:04
I first saw you dressed in white And I loved the way you'd fight All the other stupid girls Who thought they were better You kept screaming on my screen And they called you the new queen But my thoughts for you are wet And they'll soon turn wetter In your teens and a fast improver Female neighbour For charm's sake, you've just got to prove You're Monica They were pleased to have you, alright They sure asked you for the night And they promise you the world Through some fresh commercial You don't really have to think You employed them for this thing All you do now's try skirts on But you still are special What I really want to do Is retire to a zoo And get me a huge tattoo With your first name flashing
5.
She used to Just follow My late walks In wild forests She used to Hide behind The bushes Oh, what a child! One of us Was naked when we met You never learnt your lesson You study recklessly again She would draw Big circles And she'd paint All lines purple She'd come home But leave soon She'd never Explain the reasons Where's your embarrassment? It should be obvious so far How can you be busy talking? Couldn't feel cosier When I thought this is a start Sixteen months on and you're still smoking I'm drowning This fireplace Is burning A living nightmare I'm screaming Nobody Can hear me Trapped voice, betray me! One of us Is neither me or you Where's the embarrassment I should be sensing so far? How....?
6.
Tell me where all the cars run to Why's everybody in a hurry? What's there for them? What will they do? Sugarbeat Gary How come the shops are closed all day and eyes of children have turned starry? For what's this woman about to pray? Sugarbeat Gary He will freeze me with his glance Take my life away at once Though I do not stand a chance I will fight him till my last toenail is smashed And all my blood paints rivers scarlet Never seen him performing live Never attended his safari Just wished that he'd never arrive Sugarbeat Gary Well now my life belongs to him And my sweet girlfriend he will marry My vision's starting to get dim Sugarbeat Gary
7.
Animals 02:40
Gets out of bed Scratches the top of his head Moves to the shed Carries two pencils of red Been drawing this plan since he became a man Society is no fun He's almost done He'll stuff his shed with animals They'll teach him how to fly and crawl He'll live the life of animals About humans he'll bother no more Goes to the wood He's certainly no Robin Hood Spots a wild fox And rushes behind the rocks Used to cause him pain but no, never again The fact they thought he's insane Now he's just waiting for rain
8.
Mystic wings of lightness start to paralyse my senses I'm a sucker for defences but it seems that I can't find now Any Time we speak, we meet I have this feeling she'll mistake me for her friend again She cares for her I wish that I could help But I'd like to tell my story Yeah I'd like to tell my story I'd sure love to tell my story now A woman named Corina's got me going like a dreamer Might it be her reputation? Could it be her occupation? Oh, a woman named Corina's got me going like a dreamer Should I carry on or should I just wake up? She attends those classes Maybe she could sometime make a modest logo for my band Oh God, it's getting out of Hand In hand, this is exactly how I long to get with her And body next to body I would make her feel so sweetly trapped, she'd never go
9.
Time 04:01
When I sit back and rearrange my life, all plans get hopeless Some things will surely have to change Well, but I couldn't care less I thought that time's a friend of mine But it goes away Too bad that summer came once more to find me rather lonely My dreams, all poisoned by TV Oh baby, won't you call me? I thought that you're a friend of mine But you're gone away But I don't care (about time) As long as I'm there (in time) As long as I'm getting there We should go out and have some fun while we are still the young ones Ex-lovers marry, I'm still the same I wonder, who are the sad ones? I thought that time is on my side But it's flown away
10.
The Light 03:44
A never-hotter sun is burning your back You know you Are the center of an interesting pack You wanted to Leave your people in the middle of the night For the light I've heard rumours that you don't talk at all I hope that When I am around you, I'll find no wall You need someone To grab you and take you tonight To the light Yes I know it's funny but it's true I just want the same thing that you do But if you're busy sleeping or fucking and tripping high Stop worrying now I'm sending you light years away You know you Will have no choice but to stay You wanted to Leave.... You want it, you got it You're lost in the light You're afraid but you love it This is the light
11.
221 02:48
You don't interest me Even if you're not some joke I'm much better off alone You can't impress me When your underwear's your skin You just state where I've once been I know it's gonna be hard And maybe you'll think I'm somehow retarded But you can't even begin to understand And I know it's really my problem So forget we happened It's over You won't bring it back Oooh, what a body! But your face I cannot stand Plus you don't respect my band Try to forgive me For tomorrow I'll be smoke How I wish you were a joke 221 Thank you for all those sleepless nights
12.
Bobby Gillespie took me to heaven He carried me high Offered me brandy Played then a TV game Showed me his marvelous record collection Put on some acid And we danced, and we danced Me and Bobby I stopped first and I asked Why do you act like that Oh Bobby You're much more than the Stones But you lack some key bones Oh Bobby If you feel you're a king You've just ruined everything Oh Bobby Bobby Gillespie poured me hot chocolate While we were sipping A 60s background One of his favourite tunes We got undressed and ready for swimming Across the 70s Across the goth scene Towards the future Me & Bobby I'm so tired that I'll quit And I really mean it Oh Bobby Maybe I'm far from middle-aged But see how I've greatly changed Oh Bobby He said "end of rebirth" Time to go back to Earth Oh Bobby Bobby Gillespie, don't leave, I love you I really love you And we danced, and we danced...
13.
Mine 03:49
Put on that dress Let me confess My life's a mess now Thanks to you, I guess More than a year Not half a tear I'll drown in beer now Until you get back here You could be mine Our six-can pack Our tragic luck Our non-stop fuck, now It's about time we saw the crack No fine fresh chord No faith restored All blurred and bored now So what's next? Oh my Lord... Again This song's for you Yeah, this song too! In case you're blue now Think this chorus will do
