Because You're Frightened (03:56)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
You love me because you're frightened
and I'm falling in love with you
because I'm getting frightened
of the things you somehow make me do
you love me because you're frightened
I can easily believe my eyes
your fear is my finest hour
my fear is your disguise

Look what fear's done to my body

A frightening world
is an interesting world to be in
in the Forbidden City
or on The Roof of the World
or at the receiving end
of the nine o'clock news
however you put your mind to it
you can find fear where you choose

Look what fear's done to my body

You want to hurt
you want to crave
you want to praise and curse and blame
you want to believe just what you like
then you want to hurt and crave again

They took you to the top of the mountain
they showed you the valley
you bought it
you couldn't wait, could you!

Look what fear's done to my body

You want to hurt ...

Model Worker (02:53)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
I'm sick of working on the land
I wanna work with machines and look handsome

I have been indulging
in ostentatious display
doing little more than eat
three square meals a day

And I've been shirking my duty
so I've been sending gifts to curry favour

But because I love you
and because you love me
a model worker
I'II willingly be

I need a holiday, I've not been well
take me to the Brocade River Hotel

And I just want to know
while the revolution lasts
will it enable me
to swallow broken glass!

I'm not too worried by hegemony
I know the cadre will look after me

And I just want to know while the revolution lasts
will it enable me to swallow broken glass!

I have been indulging in ostentatious display
doing little more than eat three square meals a day

But because I love you ..

I'm a Party (03:05)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
I'm such and such
I'm a scream
bad choices take me to task
you'll see
I'll take out the car
but nobody'll want to crash
Take me with you
I'm a party
I don't know where I've been
so all things being equal
I'm a party
I won't know where we're going

You could do me a favour
do whatever you want to
I will let you hurt me
because I know it hurts you
it hurts you

What you say goes
I'm a party
all over the town
I fell into you
I keep up with all that's coming down
So, what's shaking!
I'm a parry
you've got me racing, you've got me racing
the sound of a siren
in all the spaces between

You could do me a favour ...

I know it hurts you
I'm a party

You Never Knew Me (05:26)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
I don't want to turn around
and find I'd got it wrong
or that I should have been laughing all along
you're what keeps me alive
you're what's destroying me
do you want the truth or do you want your sanity ?
You were hell
and everything else was just a mess
I found I'd stepped into the deepest unhappiness
we get back
I bleed into you
thank God that I don't love you
all of that's behind me now
still seems to be above you

I don't know
I don't know whether I ever knew you
but I know you
I know you never knew me
I don't know
I don't know whether I ever knew you
but I know you
I know you never knew me
Do you want to!

Hope doesn't serve me now
I don't move fast at all these days
you think you've understood
you're ignorant that way
I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry
I'm sorry I can't be cancelled out like this
we had to kill too much
before we could even kiss

I don't know ...

I Want to Burn Again (05:17)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
The newcomer arrives
possession and guilt in his face
apologises to the Customs man
for the gaping hole in his suitcase
says 'I've seen where promises are made
I've seen how people are undone
it's always done
man to man
one to one

I'm ditching an empty suitcase
I've been in Storytown
I've been swimming in poisons
been slowing up and down
I've known the eeriest wounds
the soul's long quarantine
when no rewards remain
no one and nothing comes clean
I've been blown about for years
on my way to you
I've been blown about for years
on my way to you
and I still turn to love
I want to burn again
and I still turn to love

In a room
where arrangements are made for success
you try to say that you possess me
by your caress
I met your lover yesterday
wearing some things I left at your place
singing a song that means a lot to me
I've known a certain grace

I've been blown about for years

on my way to you ..
and I still turn to love

I'm still turning
I want to burn again

Sweetheart Contract (03:20)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
We drank from cups on standard-issue sofas under scaffolding
informed sources said we were seen by observers - it's a meeting
I received an education
I was dominant for hours

I won myself a wealth of weapons, supermassive wealth
under a sweetheart contract which clearly stated
'Strength is always health'
I had one upper hand
I was dominant for hours

I want to be there, on the far side of sin
I've been putting myself through hell, waiting for hell to begin
I got insurance
I was dominant for hours

My tour-de-force is to forget all that's gone on around and about me
my manners are forever and whatever sells the newspapers suits me
I got an education
I was dominant for hours

I had one upper hand
I was dominant for hours

I got insurance
I was dominant for hours

We'd better give it back, it's not ours

Stuck (04:07)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
In the rush
the rush of my senses
in the heat
the heat of this moment
in the Palace of Nations
I think I can love you out of weakness
In the heat of this moment I stick myself in laughter
Run for it
I'm running away
know-it-all
I will return again
pushing myself so helpless
hopeless
when I can love you out of weakness
Which of us is to blame!
I'm stupid
I only know enough to get out of the rain
Oh, I really tiptoe, I really tiptoe
Stop
when you cease to amaze me
take a look
my part in the pattern
I know it'll never matter
so I stick myself in laughter
I may love you out of weakness
is that what I was afraid of!

A Song From Under the Floorboards (04:11)
Magazine • The Correct Use of Soap
I am angry I am ill and I'm as ugly as sin

My irritability keeps me alive and kicking

I know the meaning of life, it doesn't help me a bit

I know beauty and I know a good thing when I see it

This is a song from under the floorboards

This is a song from where the wall is cracked

By force of habit, I am an insect

I have to confess I'm proud as hell of that fact

I know the highest and the best

I accord them all due respect


But the brightest jewel inside of me

Glows with pleasure at my own stupidity

This is a song ....

I used to make phantoms I could later chase

Images of all that could be desired

Then I got tired of counting all of these blessings

And then I just got tired

This is a song ...
