- Happyhead Theme #1
If you want to get ahead
Get ahead get a Happyhead now
We love to fly and it shows
Be all that you can be
We're a part of your life
I love what you do for me
- Fabulous
Eat this
Burn down the store
Take what you want and more
Shop until you drop
Voodoo consumer never stop
Load up on supplies
No sale no compromise
Gun crazy down the mall
Voodoo consumer take it all
Eat this drink this drive this charge it
It's fabulous
Step right up and take it
It's fabulous
If you can't afford it fake it
Be deviously dangerous
Ridiculously cool let's make it
Fabulous - fabulous
Fabulous - fabulous
Drive me to the bank
Kneel down and give me thanks
Grab your credit card
Voodoo consumer kiss me hard
Eat this drink this drive this charge it
It's fabulous
Step right up and take it

If you can't afford it fake it
Be deviously dangerous
Ridiculously cool let's make it
Fabulous

A bargain come too late
Voodoo consumer terminate
Eat this drink this drive this buy this
Wear this fly this play this charge it
It's fabulous
Step right up and take it
It's fabulous
If you can't afford it fake it
Be deviously dangerous
Ridiculously marvelous
Meticulously treacherous
De sade-uously cruel just make it
Fabulous - fabulous
Fabulous - fabulous
Fabulous - fabulous
Fabulous - fabulous
- Digital Love Thing
Digital love thing I can't believe it
I wanna make this mystery mine
You're part of history stand up and seize it
Digital love thing shine
Turn to the sky like a big receiver
The hills are alive but they won't deceive ya
Tuned to the wave of the false and the factual
Tellin' everybody 'bout the supernatural
Nature says end it final
You're going down on a DNA spiral
Hungry little heartbreaker looking for a headline
Wanna deal? Here's a deadline
More than a matter of pure geometry
A whole damn catalogue of lies and infamy
A pay cheque a home wrecker double martini
Hail Caesar get Houdini
Take what you want to get what you need
Take a lot more at twice the speed
In cold precision in terror and art
A bullet and a ballet are a vowel apart
Hey digital get critical
Yo digital love thing go
Hey digital get critical
Information overload
Digital love thing I can't believe it
I wanna make this mystery mine
You're part of history stand up and seize it
Digital love thing shine
Here comes Happyhead mouth in motion
You do the right thing you do the locomotion
Then you wonder why the caged bird sings
It's a lust for life or a chemical thing
Free will's the thrill now so choose it
Use your vote before you lose it
Evolution revolution hedonism I sing
Anybody got a body give the boy a love thing
Hey digital get critical
Yo digital love thing go
Hey digital get critical
Information overload
Digital love thing I can't believe it
I wanna make this mystery mine
You're part of history stand up and seize it
Digital love thing shine
Digital love thing I can't believe it
I wanna make this mystery mine
You're part of history stand up and seize it
Digital love thing shine
In real time
- Atomic Candy
Plough up a field of money - scatter your seed
Mind over matter? Well it matters to me Candy
Riding an ark - political sparkle
Cast the first stone you'll be making a mark indeed
There goes caution to the wind again so get in
Hitch-hike it to the edge of beyond and get gone
At the limit of the evening shade
I raise a glass to you Candy - I think you've got it made
If you think the future lies
In tomorrow's troubled eyes
You're wrong Candy - it lies with me
Atomic Candy... turn out all the light and let me see
Atomic Candy... incandescent flame of liberty
Atomic Candy... I'll take one bite out of you if you unwrap me
High on the stuff of legend - scoring the dream
Richer for poorer you can pour it all over me
Catching a wave - imaginary saviour
Take the next turn Candy there'll be some days indeed
If you feel the future near
Hiding paralysed with fear
It's ok Candy you're here with me
Atomic Candy... turn out all the light and let me see
Atomic Candy... incandescent flame of liberty
Atomic Candy... I'll take one bite out of you if you unwrap me
Atomic Candy
Atomic Candy oh
If you think the future waits
Through somebody's pearly gates
Hold on Candy and wait for me
Atomic Candy... turn out all the light and let me see
Atomic Candy... incandescent flame of liberty
Atomic Candy... I'll take one bite out of you if you unwrap me
(Go Happyhead go Happyhead go...)
- Hurt, Dirt And Desire
Hurt, dirt, desire
Hurt, dirt, desire
Dirt, hurt, desire
Hurt, dirt and desire
Hurt
It's a rare rare man who won't tamper with perfection
His desire a rare woman
Put natural selection in his hands
And he knows it
She's braced her life to his and his alone
And it throws him
Drawn in and wrapped around so very tight
There's nothing he can compare to
Nothing he's known before
Standing on a moving floor
He feels he's right to believe but he
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
He'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life he'll call hurt, dirt and desire
Hurt
She's having strange strange times she feels herself in motion
And she rides strange magic
Spells and pills and potions say "be mine"
She hears them
He's giving her so much much too soon
And she fears him
Even as it fills her every night
She knows just what is happening
Now every day brings more
Shaking a loose trap door
For what she will receive she says please I...
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
She'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life she'll call hurt, dirt and desire
Hurt
Willful and afraid they keep it under cover
Willful and afraid they keep it under cover
Don't want to leave a legacy lost and gone forever
Don't want to leave a legacy lost and gone forever
Feel the heavy heartbeat next to one another
Feel the heavy heartbeat next to one another
Strip away the secrecy celebrate the lovers
Strip away the secrecy celebrate the lovers
They hold it and believe but they...
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
They'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life they'll call hurt, dirt and desire
They don't want to be hurt
Hurt, dirt, desire
Then who does that's nothing special
Hurt, dirt, desire
They'll get down and kiss the dirt
Dirt, hurt, desire
For this luxury of life they'll call hurt, dirt and desire
Don't want to be hurt
Hurt
Hurt, Dirt, Desire...
- A Wave That Breaks Forever
Dive down deeper than this
Wide-eyed a wintergreen bliss-out
Cool solid next to freezing
Wild words that have no meaning
Such a deep love
Such a strong kiss
Such a deep love
Such a strong kiss
Never in love
Is there a wrong kiss
It's such a deep love
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
Woman deep and it's man deep
There's a wave and it breaks much harder than this
Like the sea when the world's asleep
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
Legal city no redress
Wide-screen built to impress you
Get down stoop to conquer
Burn the phoenix and raise the songbird
Such a deep love
Such a strong kiss
Such a deep love
Such a strong kiss
Never in love
Is there a wrong kiss
It's such a deep love
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
Woman deep and it's man deep
There's a wave and it breaks much harder than this
Like the sea when the world's asleep
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
Woman deep and it's man deep
There's a wave and it breaks much harder than this
Like the sea when the world's asleep
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
Now I got it I'm gonna keep it
Work it up into a state secret
Clean high next to heaven
Some sins are god-given.
Such a deep love
Such a strong kiss
Such a deep love
Such a strong kiss
Never in love
Is there a wrong kiss
It's such a deep love
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
Woman deep and it's man deep
There's a wave and it breaks much harder than this
Like the sea when the world's asleep
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
There's a wave and it breaks forever you know
Woman deep and it's man deep
There's a wave and it breaks much harder than this
Like the sea when the world's asleep
- I Fall Awake
Action time the bottome line
Precautionary sadness
Silence in the courtroom
All objections overruled
For something pure something reasonable
We should all stand up and shout
Home is where the heart is
But the heart is moving out
There's never been a finer line
Through sanity and madness
I want over-achievement
Under-estimation gets you down
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I don't dream that hard
Blink and double-take I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
Election time selection mine
Discretionary process
Natural or contractural
The vote goes either way
For a cure that is feasible
We should all go back to school
Make everybody stand in line
To be nobody's fool
There's never been a better time
To trust in mass hypnosis
I want under-achievement
Over-estimation pulls you round
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I don't dream that hard
Blink and double-take I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
Go falling through my summer-blue atmosphere
All promises true possibilities loud and clear
In a word that's changing speed
All you really need is to fall awake
I fall awake - I fall awake
I want over-achievement
Under-estimation gets you down
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I don't dream that hard
Blink and double-take I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I fall awake
I fall awake now - now I fall awake
I fall awake - I fall awake - I fall awake
- Harmony
Peace love harmony
I got to get me some of this
I don't think it's much to ask for
One out of three
So let it grow let it ripen
Let the sun shine down on me
Money can't buy you peace and love
But you can buy harmony
Listen:
Harmony
Harmony
Harmony
Harmony
Money can't buy you peace and love
But you can buy harmony
- Get Out Of The Cab, Babe
Life on the shelf life on the corner
Deal with the real world cease and desist
Don't cut it up girl I see you in the morning
A tender apparition coming out of the mist
You're on a chain gang working in limbo
Every little motion tied to a risk
Well you wanna be a lover maybe undercover baby
Gime information and I'll save it to disk
I don't want to wait
Don't want to see the light fade out the cab babe
Get out the cab
If you think the universe was made to drive you mad
Get out the cab babe
Get out the cab
High on the hog high wire humming
Race with a spaceman planet and stars
It's only love girl I think I hear it coming
Sing hallelujah when I'm crashing the car
You're insane man talking in a strange tongue
Too much emotion nothing to lose
Swimming in the wishing well do a kiss and tell
Gimme satisfaction 'cause I'm getting the blues
I don't want to wait
Don't want to see the light fade out the cab babe
Get out the cab
If you think the universe was made to drive you mad
Get out the cab babe
Get out the cab
Get out the cab babe
And walk home
I don't want to wait
Don't want to see the light fade out the cab babe
Get out the cab
If you think the universe is made to drive you mad
Get out the cab babe
Get out the cab
Get out the cab...
- Love Kills
My baby works like a miner do
She treats my body like a mountain range
Some people say gotta look out for her
Some people tell me that my baby's strange
Love kills
Love kills
My baby stands like an oil rig stands
She drills as deep as the ocean floor
Some people say enough's enough
But my baby she just drills some more
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby and me
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby and me
My baby turns like the planet turns
She rolls the world from day to day
Some people say the earth could move
But I know that's just my baby's way
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby and me
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby and me
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby and me
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby
Love kills my baby and me
- Spacetown
Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
Let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
Anybody ever had a dream wouldn't wake up
And lose it over me
Anybody ever stole a scene wouldn't need to
If they could only be
Strangely serene facing the shakedown
Nobody ever ran the race and came out
The same as they went in
Nobody in a sacred place need leave it
If they could only bring
Some sense of grace for them to lay down
Hold this terrifying love
A charm against the cold
Do this and think of me
And let the world unfold
Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
So let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
Everybody in the neighbourhood wouldn't move on
If they could only see
Everybody for the common good shout something
Apart from look at me
Just watch the screen when the mirror breaks down
You with all that you could own
Are trying to be true
And wait so patiently
For a bolt from out the blue
Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
So let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
Show me something I can use
A stone that I can throw
Or shall I turn away
And fall into the flow
Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
Let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
Spaced out in Spacetown
I know you've been
Shaping up for the shakedown
Let me in
We live and learn or crash and burn
This is Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
We're living in Spacetown
- Back Of My Cab
Kevin the coma he was a smart one
But even so there were things he didn't understand
Peter the powerdrain he's coming down again
Feels kind of sickly from breathing the fumes
Maybe on second thoughts he didn't understand too
Kevin and Peter, Peter and Paul
Matthwew Mark Luke and John I've had 'em all
In the back of my cab there's room for everybody
I've had 'em all in the back of my cab
- Baby USA
{Baby USA}
A tiny piece of America nearly blew me apart
Driving on the wrong side of my English heart
I found myself caught in mid-stream
I had a dream of a brand-new start
Phone lines lie across the Atlantic
I guess it's time to fly trans-romantic
Are you lonesome baby USA?
I heard you cry 3000 miles away
Go west young man you said - I was on my way
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
Once upon a time my world was an open book
The pages turned - I stayed put
Now like a pilgrim on Plymouth sound
I'm America bound - hand and foot
That's the pull of love's defection
A continental drift in my direction
Are you lonesome baby USA?
I heard you cry 3000 miles away
Go west young man you said - I was on my way
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
A yellow cab fromhere to eternity
A fifty-floor building points to all things heavenly
Down at the roofs of high anxiety
There's just another story from the naked city
Are you lonesome baby USA?
I heard you cry 3000 miles away
Go west young man you said - I was on my way
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
Are you lonesome baby USA?
I heard you cry 3000 miles away
Go west young man you said - I was on my way
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
Don't shoot - I love you baby USA
- Fat City
We're going to fat city
We're going to hit town
We're going to fat city... fat city
Hard rain washed away
Sweet love like a bird of prey
Mixed emotions overgrown
Psychedelic to the bone
It's a fact that your back's against the wall
When you show your face
But never get yourself caught
Between a rock and a hard place
We're going to fat city
We're going to hit town
We're going to fat city... fat city
Pump me up let me down
Beef and blood underground
Snap the whip crack the code
Paranoia overload
You got to get yourself a card with an i.d.
For the human race
But never get yourself caught
Between a rock and a hard place
We're going to fat city
We're going to hit town
We're going to fat city... fat city
(Go Happyhead go Happyhead go)
Break the ice on your knees
Poison pen spread disease
Rags and bones feed the bear
Shut your mouth I don't care
It's a fact that your back's against the wall
When you show your face
But never get yourself caught
Between a rock and a hard place
We're going to fat city
We're going to hit town
We're going to fat city... fat city
We're going to fat city
We're going to hit town
We're going to fat city... fat city
Fat city - fat city
(Go Happyhead go Happyhead go...)
Fat city
- Shining Path
You see how high the moon is
My pride bought with a kiss
So soon under your motion
My world ceased to exist
If you want to know
Here is my confession
I was a man in the grip of obsession
Now you ought to know
I made a big decision
More than a man I'm a man with a mission
Here is is - my shining path
Pale fire - your one desire come true
Cool thrill - a wish fulfilled
Take a trip from your head to your heart
On the shining path
You'll know when this is over
One sign will say believe
Just when you're so uncertain
You'll ask and you'll receive
Now is when you show
A gesture of contrition
This kind of love is the modern condition
This could be a blow
To my way of thinking
Pride rising as the moon is sinking
Here is is - my shining path
Pale fire - your one desire come true
Cool thrill - a wish fulfilled
Take a trip from your head to your heart
On the shining path - My shining path
Pale fire - your one desire come true
Cool thrill - a wish fulfilled
Take a trip from your head to your heart
On the shining path
- Lets Go See Mr. Hyde
A love-light shallow glow
Stop and stare - the human rodeo
Effervescent so sublime - in time
Pull up our roots together
Beneath the brittle stars
You and me - the light from a neon bar
Focus the microscope there's hope
But it could all come down tomorrow
And if it does come
And if it does come
Where will you be?
Will you be with me?
Where's the evidence- circumstantial
Been through it time and time again
I don't wanna be on a corner
Hanging out with all God's lonely men
Why keep it all uptight?
Why keep it deep inside?
Maybe you and me share a chemistry
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Downstream white-water ride
Deep and low - the current of our pride
Break-neck high-speed what we need
To both cut loose together
And you should know
And you should know
I want you here with me
First thing I see
Getting heavily elemental
Recycled I'll come 'round again
Immobility begs a question:
Does gravity mean to be my friend?
Is there an end in sight
Beyond our time and tide
Maybe you and me could solve a mystery
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
And if it does come
If it does come
Where will you be?
Will you be with me?
For the last time
For the last time
I want you every day
No more to say
Where's the evidence- circumstantial
Been through it time and time again
I don't wanna be on a corner
Hanging out with all God's lonely men
Why keep it all uptight?
Why keep it deep inside?
Maybe you and me share a chemistry
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Getting heavily elemental
Recycled I'll come 'round again
Immobility begs a question:
Does gravity mean to be my friend?
Is there an end in sight
Beyond our time and tide
Maybe you and me could solve a mystery
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
Let's go see Mr. Hyde
- Happyhead Theme #2
I'm Kylie Brush...
Got a happy head
It goes together with my happy heart babe
Said my happy head
Goes together with my happy heart
When I hear your name
And I feel the flame
Of our lovelight as it begins to burn
And we teach each other
A good love lesson
That we're always oh so glad to learn
In our happy heads
Going together with my happy heart babe
Said my happy head
Goin' together with my happy heart
From the tip of my toes to the top of my spine
All over my body and in and out of my mind
You fill me up with thoughts of love
And loving you is all I'm thinking of
In my happy head
So good to have you in my happy head all the time
Loving you - well loving you baby
Said I'm guilty if a crime
Time after time after time...
...How important can you get?
