We Are Alive 02:37

We Are Alive by clash bowley copyright 2020 There is no causistry There is no history There is just fantasy There is just you and me We are alive we have our ways We take our shot Just as it lays We live in the cellar Down where we are the dwellers And the setting is stellar But buy our trash from resellers We are alive we have our ways We take our shot Just as it lays We can do what we're wanting Because we are forgotten And the system is rotten When you are misbegotten We are alive we have our ways We take our shot Just as it lays Here is ultimate freedom Do whatever you're needin' No one to deceive 'em With no one to lead 'em

Johanna Silkenfur by clash bowley copyright 2020 Johanna Silkenfur Purred into the open mic She sang of desperation Panic and delight Her song had overtones Of frantic sex and drunken joy Of waking all alone With all her dreams destroyed They swayed they swayed Under the heat They moved in waves Moved to the beat Johanna Silkenfur Began to writhe up there The music moving her Shaking her with flair Her tongue licked on her teeth Between the slippery words Her voice soared up and up Dancing like a bird They swayed they swayed Under the heat They moved in waves Moved to the beat Johanna Silkenfur Held them in her hand Held their hearts in thrall Singing with the band She held her arms to them Her fingers opened wide They moaned in ecstasy From somewhere deep inside They swayed they swayed Under the heat They moved in waves Moved to the beat

Guard Dog by clash bowley copyright 2020 He said "Roll over Rex, sit up and beg!" Then he laughed and threw a biscuit Hit me in the leg I said "I don't do that trick, human, Sorry if that stings! Feel free to go back to your pretty, pretty ring!" He said "You should obey me I'm superior to you My kind made you and can break you Do you have a clue?" I'm a guard dog, I protect things I'm a guard dog, that's what I bring I bristled and I growled while he made a sneer "Your kind were made to serve So go serve me a beer! You don't frighten me pup, Pathetic if you think! I'm a human you're a dog As a sapient you stink!" I said "I could tear your leg off and beat you 'tl you're dead, But I resist your provocation You get to keep your head!" I'm a guard dog, I protect things I'm a guard dog, that's what I bring

Wheelie Feet by clash bowley copyright 2020 The medicos they tell me It ain't a dream If I can just afford them They're on my team! Toe to heel, I can change 'em! Heel to toe, I delete Frames of steel, rolling rubber Gonna get my wheelie feet! There is somethin' just so special There is somethin' I can feel Gonna roll like liquid thunder Gonna make them corners squeal! Toe to heel, I can change 'em! Heel to toe, I delete Frames of steel, rolling rubber Gonna get my wheelie feet! If I gotta steal a baby If I gotta off some kid If I gotta sleep with strangers If I gotta kiss a squid Toe to heel, I can change 'em! Heel to toe, I delete Frames of steel, rolling rubber Gonna get my wheelie feet!

Living the Life Fantastic 02:53

Living the Life Fantastic by clash bowley copyright 2020 There is no congruence Just warding pestilence Or maybe dalliance Slumming down in the Mirrors Reuse and recycle Ringers' trash is just vital Make it work as is rightful In the Flats it's a fever Don't you dare take my cardboard! I don't care you're a star lord! I'll rip out your spinal cord Down here death is forever Living the life fantastic Hoarding the burnt out relic Cyber-impregnated plastic The uses are psychedelic Pay off the hyenas Tooth and jaw of anima For a bigger arena And a nightmare of terror Get a dinner of gerbils Or some fish nether barbels Or you can't read the label Or maybe it is the eater Life is always at limit Life is always a cynic Life is always a critic Death is always forever Living the life fantastic Hoarding the burnt out relic Cyber-impregnated plastic The uses are psychedelic

He bolts now, don't follow You win this set! Oh Ho! Oh Ho! The spotted pack! Oh Ho! Oh Ho! They got your back! Oh Ho! Oh Ho! The spotted pack! Oh Ho! Oh Ho! They got your back!

Justin Meek by clash bowley copyright 2020 I know I was pushin' hard The mark knew too an' he pumped the brake Left me hangin' out Like the one blind man in a crowd of snakes I was cussin' blue I was so mad I could scream Stormed off in a fit of pique My ears musta been hissin' steam I wasn't lookin' ahead I was too busy thinkin' back That con was all sewed up An' I blew it like a first time hack This ringer he came flyin' out Knocked me sideways through next week Feet never hit the ground An' from the door came Justin Meek The short hairs on my neck They all stood up an' began to wave I stayed down on the deck I must confess I ain't too brave That ol' boy Justin Meek Was 'bout the size o' three o' me He just looked howlin' mad An' he beat that po' boy till he peed You must know that Justin Meek Was Alley Sally's friendly pimp An somethin' bad gone down Between ol' Sal an' this Ringer gimp Big ol' Justin used his fists Adjustin' violence 'til it fit Then came a whinin' noise An' Justin's head blew to bits

The Game is Afoot by clash bowley copyright 2020 The quarry is scented The quarry is that way We are unrelenting We will make it's last day! There's a killer loose Here there are no laws We are the iron vise We crush with our jaws We are on the scent (The quarry is scented) We run through the town Yi Yi! (The quarry is that way) We are the spotted pack (We are unrelenting) We will tear it down! Yi Yi! (We will make it's last day!) Cutter Girl gets his scent Saliva drips and foams She has smelled this man She has backed him down We are on the scent (The quarry is scented) We run through the town Yi Yi! (The quarry is that way) We are the spotted pack (We are unrelenting) We will tear it down! Yi Yi! (We will make it's last day!) We are on the scent (The quarry is scented) We run through the town Yi Yi! (The quarry is that way) We are the spotted pack (We are unrelenting) We will tear it down! Yi Yi! (We will make it's last day!) Ay yi! The scent is gone! Ay yi! Where did it go? Ay Yi! He must have help! Ay Yi! He will not escape! No!

A Flatter Day by clash bowley copyright 2020 Walked into a London Flat bar the other night Some cat girl singing her heart out in the light Medico sellin' hot dreams and wheelie feet I sucked on a Happy Squid to beat the heat The Joint was jumpin' blood was pumpin' there was a fight Banny Skag punched Rhodie Mammo high as a kite It was a flatter day Day of the week Week of the year Not at my peak Ended up bein' a guide for some Ringer punk Lookin' for some furry kitten to ease his junk I brought him to Alley Sally for a tip Pulled him out o' this side o' dying - he took a trip Grinnin' Beginnin' ripe for sinnin' the boy didn't think Tried to pull some stupid move an' threw up in the sink It was a flatter day Day of the week Week of the year Not at my peak I said Boy you're in some trouble - ain't gonna lie! You pulled on some tender strings there - you wasn't shy He just grinned said don't you worry - you'll be paid But he got drunk just like a skunk an' began to fade Bowleg Becca the Dissector cut him seven times Kicked his lifeless head around some called him some kinda slime It was a flatter day Day of the week Week of the year Not at my peak
