Great Subconscious Club lyrics

Hey, Stranger

Would you come in through my door

If not now I'll leave it ajar

And then maybe you could come back

I'll be waiting here for you
I'll be hoping here for you

I'll be praying here that you'll believe it's true

That in all these lonely years

I would have loved your company

But I never could give in

To this fragile side of me

There are colours on the street

Red, white and blue

People shufflin' their feet

People sleepin' in their shoes

But there's a warnin' sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people sayin' we'd be better off dead

Don't feel like Satan but I am to them

So I try to forget it anyway I can

Keep on rockin' in the free world

Keep on rockin' in the free world

On my mind all went so quickly, I went licketly splickly, out to my old '55

I pulled away slowly, feeling so holy, God knows, I was feeling alive

And now the sun's coming up, I'm riding with Lady Luck,

on a freeway, cars and trucks,

Stars beginning to fade,

and I leave the parade

Just a wishing I'd stayed a little longer,

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly

He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller

He got hair down to his knee

Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football

He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola

He say 'I know you, you know me'

One thing I can tell you is you got to be free

Come together right now over me

There's a chair, in my head,
On which I used to sit
Took a pencil and I wrote
The following on it:
Now there's a key,
Where my wonderful mouth used to be

Dig it up, and throw it at me
Dig it up, throw it at me

Where can I run to?
Where can I hide?
Who will I turn to,
Now I'm in a virgin state of mind?

Got a knife to disengage,
The voids that I can't bear,

There must be something more I can buy in the store

And I can not ignore the resemblance

With a tune I have heard in a dream that referred

To a beautiful world in which everyone wants

Ooooooooooooooooooooooh

Surprise, surprise, bright light into my eyes

And in the red sky I saw angels fly by

And the angel of death standing next to me said

Asleep, asleep, I fall asleep

I'm never waking up

I wish I could accept me

But I think I'm giving up

There's so much love and beauty

Yet to come, I am aware

But what about the other things

I can no longer bear

Asleep, asleep, I fall asleep

I'm never waking up

Please, just let me be at peace

I want to feel the peace

I want to be the peace

Don't call me sinner
Don't call me nerd
Don't call me chaotic
Because you heard

I have strange feelings
I have weird thoughts
But don't call me an artist
Because I'm not

I am an animal, a saint
A grown up child without a name
I am a black man, I am gay
I say we're basically the same
Don't label me

I'm not a colour
I'm not a sex
I'm not a partner
I'm not an ex

I have a brother I love more than me

He and his wife had a little baby

He hates sudden noises

He can't stand bright light
I suppose he'd have rather stayed inside

Little man, I wonder, are you happy, are you sad?

The one thing I'm sure of you're the smallest man I ever met

And you will see beauty

And you will feel pain

You're the little spark of hope inside my brain

I was feeling awful
and I had too much to drink
And I could only get a bit better
if I just knew what to think
I wanted to caress you
and to hold you in my arms
I wanted you to touch me
while you strangle me with charms
Raise your glass for love,
for Julian
I took you to my bedroom
with just one thing to do
And only seconds later
you were me
and I was you

Lost in time I can't count the words

Said when I thought they went unheard

All of those harsh thoughts so unkind

'Cos I wanted you

(And) now I sit here I'm all alone

So here sits a fucking mess, tears fly home

A circle of angels, deep in war

'Cos I wanted you

Weak as I am, no tears for you

Weak as I am, no tears for you

Deep is I am, I'm no ones fool

Weak as I am

There's a reason,
so well hidden
Why was I torn apart from you
Like a song I've never written
like a joke without a clue
No, I don't want to close my eyes
and think of you
How I'd like to get you back
But he won't let me
How I'd like to sing the songs
We knew by heart
'Farewell' sounds really cheap
for pain you left me
And it is growing mushrooms in my heart

I feel it too,
Try not to talk
Try not to think of why we're here
You guide me, hit me
somewhere inside of me

And no one here,
To verify
No camera shooting what your eyes say
This way i might forget about today

Oooh how, good how
wonderful it is
It almost makes me wanna think
There is a reason for all this

I used to be a disbeliever,
Love was unreal
Just like moviestars,

As I'm walking through these streets again
I'm crawling
And as I try to live my life again
I'm falling down

Can you pick me up
Can you let it stop
Can you make it go away

Can you pick me up
Can you let it stop
Can you make it go away

Won't somebody help me, is it hard
To let me find my way
Won't somebody love me (for a start)
I'm laughing as I pray

Where is the road
I must look at the road

You're crying but as long as it's transparent and not red
There's no real reason to be sad to the people who are
Smiling, always happy, always gay they do not know
That the edges of the mouth can move the other way

You're freezing, the ice on which you nearly slipped outside
Is in your body, in your mind, getting warmer you are
Dreaming, quite useless but it feels okay to you

Paul studied a lot
At least he pretended to
He had too much on his mind
It was too small
To see the beauty of it all

Lea loved him a lot
At least she pretended to
He was always on her mind
She said, Paul,
There's a fire in the hall

And when it finally burned the questions
For the answers he had found
He realized it ought to be the other way around

There's a fire burning in the hall

Today there's nothing more to say
But someday I'll return to you
Today things didn't go our way
Maybe tomorrow I will return to you

Today I'd like to slip away from all this pain
Someday, I'll return to you
Today I'd like to be a cell inside your vein
Maybe tomorrow I will return to you

Once more I'd like to put a spider in your bed
For that, I will return to you

He was not as tall and rather fat
He had a labrador and a lumping cat
Born in a country with a broken heart
He had enough money and a credit card
Told bedtime stories to his Teddybear
Gave him lots of hugs and a dress to wear
He had a small apartment (what a lovely sight)
He watched MTV all night

Where the hell was friendship
He must have turned it off
And most of all he wondered what is love

I've been thinking all night about this song
The music's okay but I can't find words to say

I could sing that I'm a Virgin and show my tits
Decree how sex improves the world
In which masturbation is the thing of the day
'I'm afraid I haven't got that much to say'

I thought about 'Hello, fool, I love you'
Or repeat a hundred times 'How do you do'

Not so long ago
We both felt love became a word
No more than that
With sex that felt like wings without a bird

The only thing that we both love
Is in the cradle that we rock
Six hands, six feet, but just one beat
The ticking of the clock

I always heard I could get hurt
(I knew that from the start)
Break my face, my back, my arms, my neck
But please don't break my heart

Oh, God, I haven't read your book
I'm sure it was divine
Especially the part where you turned water into wine

Oh, God, I want you to clear my mind
It's covered up with dirt
And I want to taste your skin
One time before I taste the earth

Oh, God, I apologize
I didn't knock when I arrived
Oh, God, I apologize
I didn't say goodbye last night
Oh, God

Now I guess you have your way

I will walk away from you
(Don't stop me)
I will walk away from you
(Don't blame me)

I have felt the ugly midget kicking on my knee
I have seen the ugly midget walking over me

I will tell you what I've learned
We're through as far as I'm concerned
Break up and just before we do
I will walk away from you

I will walk away from you
(Stop me)
I will walk away from you
(Blame me)

I smoke a lot
I'm not talking weed or pot
I smoke the regular stuff
I smoke a lot
And if you're a smoker too
You are to know sometimes it's tough
To be in healthy company
People who always say
You smoke a lot
Imagine the amount of money you could save if you'd quit
You smoke a lot
By now you'd have a bike, aren't you concerned about the kids
Well, of course, sure I am, concerned (a bit)

I woke up between dawn and night
Thought I heard the voice of Mommy
Sounds as if my parents have a fight
So I woke up my brother lying next to me

I wonder why she's making all that noise
Better go and check it out
So without trying to breathe only the sound of little feet
We were about to discover what that noise was all about

And as we opened up the door
We saw them lying on the kitchen floor

That's a stupid hat you're wearing
It doesn't really match your hair
Did I ever tell you that your breath is worse
Than what you wear

That's exactly what she told him
At least that's what he told me
So I guess we could conclude
They're not a happy family

Love's not what you see between the legs of the majority

That's a lovely dress you're wearing
Too bad your figure can't make it work

I need a lover who won't drive me crazy

Some guy to thrill me and then go away

I need a lover who won't drive me crazy

Some girl who knows the meaning of

'Hey hit the highway'

Well I've been walking the streets up and down

Racing through the human jungle at night

I'm so confused, my mind is indifferent

Hey I'm so weak won't somebody shut off the light

Go on my love

I know you will show

But if there was a way

I would keep you home
You fight for the tears

In the eyes of our child

As she stares at the head

Of her brother who died

For our future, our land

For the freedom to dance

Wherever the music might lead us my friends

You died all alone

And I no longer pray

Because if there was a God

He'd let you stay
