Isle of Q - Isle of Q

Little Scene

You walk in the room 
The music starts to play
The taste of Chardonnay is on your lips

Incense in the air
And candles everywhere
The big fish are all there for one more dip

Chorus:
I'm not part of your little scene
I'm not buying what you seel to me
You're so damn good
You've got it all down to a tee
I'm not part of your little clique
Your spaced out friends are gonna make me sick
Tell me great one
Tell me what it all means

You know it's time to leave
The who's who that you know
Are going to that show
You don't want to miss

And so your bed is made
You charm them all and trade
A cocktail and a line for a kiss

Chorus

You don't know but I'm on to you
You don't know but I'm on to you

Chorus

Faraway

Took a drink to drown my sorrow
Numb the pain until tomorrow
Such a bitter pill I swallow now

Took a look my hands were shaking
Deep inside my heart was breaking
On my face the smile I'm faking now

Chorus: 
I'm faraway
So faraway

Happiness is hard to come by
Can't explain it I don't know why
Easier to hang my head and cry

Loneliness will keep me company
Always seems to know where I'll be
At the bar we toast to misery

Chorus

Took a drink to drown my sorrow
Numb the pain until tomorrow
Such a bitter pill I swallow now

Chorus (2)

Bag of Tricks

Leather black silver girl
Sunset eyes long dark brown curls
Memories linger on

On and on

Quel- Que flowers and happy hours
I remember how you
dressed in style
shined your smile
But all the while you knew we'd never last

Chorus: 
I wanna get inside of you
I wanna see love like you do
I wanna know what makes you tick
I wanna spill your bag of tricks

For a while you truly were
the very best part of my world
Your velvet kiss and tender touch
I miss so much

But the NY freaks turn you on
I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm
Wrong again, but understand
you blew my mind
as you slipped right through my hands

Chorus

And so the night dressed in black
laughs at me behind my back
Cause she knows I dream of you
It's the simple truth

Chorus

Here and Gone

Some say nothing is for free
so you take what you can
Everything's got a fee

She looks better than before
All alone here tonight
Two of us on the floor

But then she'll fly away
She never likes to stay
She always flies away
Somewhere
Who cares

Chorus: 
She's free
She's got a mind and a will of her own
She'll never hang around too long
One minute here the next she's gone

She's good calling on the phone
Never says very much
but her voice sets the tone

Next thing, knocking at my door
Let her in once again
Two of us on the floor

But then she'll fly away
She never likes to stay
She always flies away
Somewhere
Who cares

Chorus
She's free
There ain't a man gonna keep her home
You can't claim her for your own
One minute here the next she's gone

She gets the best of me
She climbs in my soul and drugs me
She gets the best of me
She is in control

Chorus

The Clone

I read the books that they told me I should read
I spoke the words that they told me I should speak
I was the person, the person that they told me to be

I went to places they told me I should go
I learned the rules that they told me I should know
I was a model, a model for the status quo

And with all that they programmed into my mind
There's something I'm missing but nothing to find
One after the other the cycle parades
Tomorrow one more clone is made

Chorus:
Listen and put your ear to the ground
you can't stop the engine if you can't hear the sound
Look up and throw your hands in the air
You can't stop the engine going round

I got the haircut they told me I should get
I can't remember what they said to forget
I'm just a number, another to the government

I went to church where they told me I should pray
I paid the taxes they told me I should pay
I got the family the house and bills and Chevrolet

With all that thye programmed into my mind
there's something I'm missing but nothing to find
One after the other the cycle parades
Tomorrow one more clone is made

Chorus

They look like you and me
and now we're all the same you see
I go to work each day
And wish my life away

With all that they programmed into my mind
there's something I'm missing but nothing to find
One after the other the cycle parades
Tomorrow one more clone is made

Chorus

Bittersweet

Black and blue heart in two
Her perfume creeps into my room tonight
Troubled eyes make up hides
A tear that found it's way into her life

Chorus: 
And now she's
sweeping up the broken dreams
Acting out the final scene
Savouring the bittersweet taste of love

Keep aloof with the proff
that's bottled up inside you on the shelf
Sugar pill icy chill
You only ache from beating up yourself

Chorus: 
And now I'm
Bailing out the sympathy
Hoping you'll consider me
Drowning in the bittersweet pool of love

Seems the more I reach
The further I'm falling
From her tree
(They) tell you love is sweet
but watch when you take a bit
You may spoil your appetite

Woke today to the rain
That trickled down between
my window pane
Nothing new but for you 
Another man to 

Take the other's place

Chorus: 
And now I'm
counting down the calories
You ony want me in between
Choking on the bittersweet taste of love

Did you pray for no tomorrow
Did you beg forgiveness' sake
Did you wash your hands in acid rain

Psychadelic trip to nowhere
Up and coming rendezvous
Did you think it's time to take the blame

Chorus:
We drive the nail that saved us
We spike the hand that made us
We pierce the side of heaven
We drive the nail

Did you read the news this morning
Did you hear the angels sing
Did you let the grapes of wrath ferment

Holy roller profiteering
Television tales of sin
When it's time to die will you repent

Chorus

Chorus

Did you pray for no tomorrow
Did you beg forgiveness' sake
Did you wash your hands in acid rain

Chorus

I woke up from an August nightmare
Tangled sheets in an icy sweat
Trying hard to remember it all
I was trying harder to forget

Lying in a bed of confusion
Poison blood rushing through my veins
Realising there is no denying
I'm the only one here to blame

Sometimes I'm overcome with cravings oh so strong
I'm far too young to feel this way
Where'd I go wrong

Chorus:
Oh it's getting harder to ignore
Oh harder than the day before
Oh it's getting harder to ignore

Then I started to question my actions
Full of guilt but no self control
One more day and I'll lock it away
I won't lie to myself anymore

With that thought I could ease my conscience
Found some solace in alcohol 
Protocol for a creature of habit
But it's just a passing phase after all

Sometimes I'm overcome with cravings oh so strong
I'm far too young to feel this way
Where'd I go wrong

Chorus

I feel like a child
Kind of weak and quite small
For when I get older
I'm gonna heed the call
I promise myself I will surrender and change
It may be tomorrow but it will not be today

Sometimes I'm overcome with cravings oh so strong
I'm far too young to feel this way
Where'd I go wrong

Chorus

We lie in fields of grass
We hunt for our needs
We sing and dance in praise
We live by a creed
 
We know that the end is near
In fact it's days away
We know that your pale of white
Will fade our green to gray

We live in a balanced state of grace
As one with the land
We trust in the shepherd of our faith
We are but the lamb

Chorus: 
Way down underneath
Way down ashes lie
Way down bones turn to dust

You lie with poison tongue
You kill for the sake
You break your promises
We'll die in your wake

It's easy to see the fear
In your eyes they tell it all
You've come here to steal from us
What our God intended for all

We live in a balanced state of grace
As one with the land
We trust in the shepherd of our faith
We are but the lamb

Chorus
Way down in the graves
Way down bodies rest
Way down in the hallowed ground

Chorus
Chorus
Chorus

She makes me nervous
With a look from her deep blue eyes
Slightly curvaceous
Giving me love that I cannot deny
And so mysterious
When she do what she like to do
Just like Colombo
I'm a spy looking for some clues

Chorus:
She's my funky lady
My my sweet potato
I feel like going down again
She's my funky lady
My my sweet potato
I feel like going down again

She's tantalising
Hollywood could have used her well
Says that she loves me
We got it good as far as I can tell
She's so creative 
Never know what she's got in store
Don't make no difference
She knows I'll be coming back for more

Chorus

She's my funky lady
My my sweet potato

She's so creative 
Never know what there is in store
Don't make no difference
She knows I'll be coming back for more

Chorus

I saw the meltdown 
Under an orange sun
I caught the same disease
That everyone's been dying from

I heard the siren
Fade into stereo
They tranquilised my mind
Until the earth was ice and snow

But everything is fine
And everything's o.k.
But everything's a lie
No matter what thye say.

Chorus: 
Yeah, not walking away
Not talking today
Not melting away

I saw the breakdown 
But no one seems to know
There's no psychiatrist
To help us with the afterglow

300 years pass
With nothing left to fear
They'll realise that nothing good
Could ever come from here

But everything is fine
And everything's o.k.
But everything's a lie
No matter what they say

Chorus

I saw the meltdown
Under the orange sun
I caught the same disease
That everyone's been dying from

Chorus

That girl is cute
But she don't look it
No one has ever shown her that, no
But I want her to see
That she's beautiful to me
Like the leaves on the trees

Chorus:
But she hides away
Doesn't hear a word you say
She hides away
Blocking out a summer's day

That girl is smart
But she don't get it
No one has ever taught her that, no
There are lessons to be learned
In the books that she's burned
If her heart takes a turn

Chorus
She hides away
Stays inside her room and plays
She hides away
Doesn't like the world today

That girl is fun
But she don't smile none
Stays up all night and cries to sleep
To feel good about yourself
Is like having all the wealth
It means more than anything else

Chorus
Away
Away

Look at you looking at me
You seem so full of intrigue
When the thought is entertained
You feed on all of my pain

It's clear to me you need a fix
A little drama thrown into the mix
So turn your head and crack a smile
Enjoy the show and make it worth your while

Chorus: 
Did you se what you wanted to see
Satiate curiousity
On the road if you pass a wreck
Don't break your rubberneck

Take a step inside my shoes
Look at me looking at you
How's it feel to be the one
Analysed and undone

For you my friend are far too bored
If I'm a loser baby you're a whore
Have a thrill and get your kicks
Indulge yourself in what you might have missed

Chorus

Chorus
Bend don't break your
Bend don't break your
Break your rubberneck

If you need something to believe in
If you just want to make some sense
I can help if you need an answer
Take the risk at your own expense

It doesn't matter if you make good money
It doesn't matter if you've got good looks
Cause I am all you need to know
So open up and let it go

Everything appears alright
Nothing else remains in sight
Everyday you're getting high
Goodbye

Chorus
Say, say goodbye
Say, say goodbye
Say, say goodbye

I'm in tune with your situation
Talk to me if you need a friend
Let me know if you need fixation
I'll assist you anyway I can

It doesn't matter if you mke good money
It doesn't matter if you got good looks
Cause I am all you need to know
So open up and let it flow

Everything appears alright
Nothing else remains in sight
Everyday you're getting high
Goodbye

Chorus
Goodbye

Your friends and family seem so faraway
The colour of your life is a deep and dark grey
Ad when you think of how it might have been
You pray to God and ask to be forgiven

Everything appears alright
Nothing else remains in sight
Everyday you're getting high
Goodbye

Chorus
Goodbye
