Murdering Mouth (Live)
 
  Notes: Limited edition 'Gifthorse' single

Recorded at the University Of London Union on 12/09/98, but not included on the Zulu album

Murdering Mouth is included here out of sequence 'time wise' as the song is an outtake from the Zulu concert recording and as such, it is more logical to include it here

  But Not Them Lyrics  
 
 
 

She hates the man and he hates the man
Because something strong inside has been denied them
But not him, oh not him

He hates the girl and she hates the girl
Because something weak implied
They fought to push aside them
But not her, oh not her

The girls isn't alive but the man is dead
Because it's all been said before
The girl isn't alive but the man is dead
Because you only have you mentor to draw, you whore

Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat

She hates the man and he hates the man
Because something strong inside has been denied them
But not him, oh not him

He hates the girl and she hates the girl
Because something weak implied
They fought to push aside them
But not her, oh not her

The girls isn't alive but the man is dead
Because it's all been said before
The girl isn't alive but the man is dead
Because you only have you mentor to draw from

Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat
Dead lumps of meat melt in this heat

But not them

  Pinned Down Lyrics  
 
 
 

I can't think, can't speak
Are you talking to me?
I drift off with such ease
I'm not listening you see

Pinned down without a crown
Are you talking to me?
I drift off with such ease
I'm not listening you see

The same words flesh eating birds
You always like to bring it down
You want to own it you want to know it
You're only safe when it's pinned down

A bug stuck on a pin
You love to see it struggling
She's not a pet to be tamed
Think you can bring her will to heel

Your baying hounds head to the ground
You always like to bring it down
You can't take it can only break it
You'll be the one that's left pinned down

Pinned down without a crown
Are you talking to me?
I drift off with such ease
I'm not listening you see

Eat these words these praying birds
Now I'm the one that lets you down
Your pinned down and you've found
It makes on difference to me

  Venus In Furs Lyrics  
 
 
 

Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark
Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Downy sins of streetlight fancies
Chase the costumes she shall wear
Ermine furs adorn the imperious
Severin, Severin awaits you there

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colours made of tears
Kiss the boot of shiny, shiny leather
Shiny leather in the dark

Tongue of thongs, the belt that does await you
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart
Severin, Severin, speak so slightly
Severin, down on your bended knee
Taste the whip, in love not given lightly
Taste the whip, now plead for me

I am tired, I am weary
I could sleep for a thousand years
A thousand dreams that would awake me
Different colours made of tears
Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather
Whiplash girl child in the dark

Severin, your servant comes in bells, please don't forsake him
Strike, dear mistress, and cure his heart

  Murdering Mouth Lyrics  
 
 
 

Like a typewriter
Tearing through the paper
Your sharks grin teeth
Bite down never smiling
And at the centre
There's always you my darling
Yes at the centre
Always you my dear

Your murdering mouth is forever hungry
Your murdering mouth blaring at me
Your murdering mouth relentlessly pounding
Your murdering mouth takes aim at me

Point blank bullets
Flying straight through me
Shards of light beams
That mirror ball me
Multiple stab wounds and yet no bleeding
No bleeding yet never any healing

These open wounds that fester and rupture
These open wounds under merciless attack
I only asked you if what you say is true dear
I only asked you if what you do is fair

Your murdering mouth is forever hungry
Your murdering mouth glaring at me
Your murdering mouth grinding and snapping
Your murdering mouth pointed at me

I'm lying dead here
Staring at the ceiling
I'm lying dead here
Yet there is no crime scene
Multiple stab wounds
There's always you my darling
White and jagged
Opening closing

At the centre
Always you my darling
At the centre
Always you my dear
