Temba Lyrics

There Is a Way Out (And It's Way Out)

Inside, Outside, Inbetween
We don't respect your little scene
Your movement has just passed us by
Drive into your Mother Sky

Jaki's like a drum machine
Cosmic, Urgent, Evergreen
The autobahn is straight and long
So Comrade, Keep Your Fraulein warm

She comes from North West Germany
She smells of cars and TV
Neon Lights - Komputer World
It's a Rainy Day, Sunshine Girl

DCHQ

Rip, rip, ripping the postage stamps
Emotional diplomats, Holiday friends
You want wasteland? We'll give it to you
Rumour of a tumour in a criminal crew
Doctor Crippen, Harmonica Queen
Picture of a brain or another wet dream

Shout! DCHQ

Junk Sinatra, The Cardboard Ants
3 Bald Men doing Teenage Angst
I heard nothing but the sound of a scream
Lasts as long as a limosine
Doctor Crippen, Harmonica Queen
Picture of a brain or another wet dream

Shout! DCHQ

Hanoi Jane and the Fonda few
You want washed up? We'll give it to you
Napalm Nancy, The Living Dead
The rocket in the socket in the back of your head
Dumb, dumb waiters turn the animals loose
It made the morning papers ands the 10 O' Clock News

Shout! DCHQ

The Motorway Is My Bride

There's a car chase running its way around this town
There's a killer on the road but his brakes are wearing down
Two cop cars pull up along his side
He says "The Motorway, The Motorway Is My Bride"

Experience of life through a window pane
The underused synapses in her brain
She'll recognise her tiny life is through
She'll cut off both her arms for something new

There's cocktail bar pollution in the colleges
You can't create the truth, the truth just is
And you fear you're near the frontier of a new cold war
Its just the way it goes when you're in trouble with the law

The traffic starts to slide off the interstate
The driver feels his brakes disintegrate
His car starts to roll like a twisiting tide
He screams "The Motorway, The Motorway Is My Bride"

Jesus

The liquids you put into your body
The smoke that fills up your lungs
The liquids you put into your body
The way we always kiss with tongues

I believe in Jesus
He's got plans for me
I believe in Jesus
Cos he needs me and he leads me here

Don't follow all your leaders
Your leaders gonna get you down
Don't run 100 miles now
Just come round

Does Rocky punch above his weight
Did Captain Nemo drown
He's got all the answers
And he's coming to your town

Can you build a house in concrete
Can you take drugs til you're old
Can a man live with a woman
Do the penguins feel the cold

Shake

Shaking like a leaf, I'm shaking like a baby
Shaking like a leaf, I'm shaking and I'm ready
Shaking like an elephant
Twisted and I'm waiting for you

Shaking when I'm waking, and I'm shaking when I'm shaving
I got this paranoia that she's always misbehaving
Everybody's talking 'bout me
I don't hear a word that they say

Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake, Shake

Shakedown, breakdown dirty little runaround
Shakedown breakdown, moving to another town

Onionskin

Pinhead, Onion
You know I see another side to you
Prog Rock, Lucifer
This happy ending aint coming true
Open heart surgery
Is easy, let me show you what to do
Pinhead, Idiot
You know I see another side to you

I see another side to you
And your skin is turning blue
Peel it back what do I find
Onionskin has left me blind
