Grendel "These are my private things
They are against the wall
the dirty pictures,
religious objects
if you would only come
and get them out of here"

This is my private bed
this is where
i lie at night
staring at the lightbulb
staring at the ceiling
waiting for a dream to come
and get me out of here"

"Skin" c. 1989? "this is
someone else's story

someone that i never knew

this is someone else's body
am i getting through to you?

if you peel away
the armor is it
too late to begin?
if you look below
for hidden treasure
are you hiding under there?
underneath another layer

(if you peel away the skin
is there anybody there...?)

there's a heart
that's made of iron
there's a heart
that's made of stone
over years
the wzlls got higher
over years
the walls have grown

and this bond has passed
between us now
a momentary recognition
of something lost
and something gained
and something there
that feels strange
something cold
that will not go away

(if you peel away the skin,
is there any body there)

if you peel away the layers
is there someone
in this room
is there anybody
in here
in this self-inflicted tomb

if you peel away the skin
if you peel
away
the skin

this is someone else's story
someone that i never knew
this is someone else's body

Am I Getting Through
To You?"

MollyGoLightly The Edward Scissorhands soundtrack will invariably make me very very upset when I listen to it, though I do like it a lot.

Thanks for it, SchleiffenCdPirate :)

jennifer without a doubt, my all time favourite Oingo Boingo/Elfman song has to be insanity
example, I had a very poor copy of this song on tape (thanks to my friend, Jimmy) and I played it continually for 5 years before the tape finally broke.

I'm so sorry, please forgive me
Who do I pray to to straighten out this problem?
Straighten out this problem, straighten out my mind.
Straighten out this crooked toungue...
My mind has wandered, from the straight and narrow.
My mind has wandered from the flock you see.
My mind has wandered, the man just said so.
My mind has wandered, I heard it on TV.
And the flock has wandered away from me.

-CHORUS-
All around the world now
Like a big bright cherry cloud
Traveling from home to home
TV sets and telephones
Here it comes just like a storm
Bathe in it and be reborn
Time to let the world know
Welcome madness, say hello
Like a wave we cannot see
Washing over you and me
Hiding here and hiding there
Madness hiding everywhere
Such a curiosity
Here it comes to set us free
Plenty left for you and me
Say hello insanity

I am the virus, are you the cure?
I am morally, I'm morally impure
I am a disease and I am unclean
I am not part of God's well oiled machine
Christian nation, assimilate me
Take me in your arms and set me free
I am part of a degenerate elite
Dragging our society into the streeet
Into the abyss and to the sewer don't you see
The man just told me, he told me on TV

Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me

And the alchoholic bastard waved his finger at me
His voice was filled with evanglical glee
Sipping down his gin and tonics
While preaching about the evils of narcotics
And the evils of sex, and the wages of sin
While he mental fondles his next of kin
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
And he waved his hypnotizing finger at me

Let's imitate reality
Let's strive for mediocrity
Let's make believe we're all the same
Let's sanitize our little brains
I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty
head
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you
weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your
sleep

Christian sons, christian daughters
Lead me along like a lamb to the slaughter
Purify my brain and hose down my soul
White perfection, perfection is my goal

Do you think you're better than me
Do you want to kill me or befriend me

Christian nation, make us alright
Put us through the filter and make us pure and white
My mind has wandered from the flock you see
And the flock has wandered away from me
Let's talk of family falues while we sit and watch the
slaughter
Hypothetical abortions on imaginary daughters
The white folks think they're on the top ask any proud
white male
A million years of evolution, we get Danny Quayle

(chorus)

I'd love to take you home with me, I'd love to tuck you in
I wish I could protect you from the wages of our sin
I'd love to hear you scream tonight, I'd love to hear you
cry
Protect you from the madness that is raining from the sky

(chorus)

I'd love to take you home with me and tuck you into bed
I'd love to see what makes you tick inside your pretty
head
I wish that I could keep you in a precious Chinese box
On Sundays I would pray for you so it would never stop
I'd love to hear you laugh tonight, I'd love to hear you
weep
I'd love to listen to you while you're screaming in your
sleep
I'd love to soothe you with my voice and take your hand
in mine
I'd love to take you past the stars and out of reach of time

I'd love to see inside your mind, to tear it all apart
To cut you open with a knife and find your sacred heart
I'd love to take your satin dolls and tear them all to shreds

I'd love to mess your pretty hair, I'd love to see you dead.

MollyGoLightly my favorite is "little girls." its a rad song and a friend of mine does the funniest little dances while he listens to it. 000727
...
misstree the end of the farewell video has the two best ends of the boingo spectrum for me... the video for "little girls", complete with bad bluescreening and midgets, and the vid for "insanity", done by the same people as tool's "sober", dark and creepy and primal... ah... bask in the glory that is elfman... 001116
