The Lyrics

"Pagan Love Songs"
1)  Generation S.  (4:10)

     Post war boom, made more room, paved our way, I've got my say
     We play in the streets till dawn, and then sleep it off till noon
     We never need to go to school, gotta save our energy for tonight

        Slacker Generation, Slacker Generation, We are the...
   
     Mom n' Dad both work, so I go berserk, they're never home, they ensure my future
     No one's shown us responsibility, 'cuz it would infringe on our young rights
     We have no accountability, we're party to the video game set
    
        Slacker Generation, Slacker Generation, We are the...

     Untouchable, Unstoppable, Uncontrollable, Unaccountable

        Slacker Generation, Slacker Generation, We are the...


2)  The Prophecy  (4:28)

     Your eyes are so bright, they shine from within
     Everything's so alright, you rise from the din

     Your soul is so real, I feel it from here
     Everything's so okay, and I have no fear

       Oh the days are long, as I wait for your song
       But wait yes I will, a prophecy I will fill
       Oh the days are long, as I wait for your song
       But wait yes I will, a prophecy I will fill

    Your touch is so reassuring, I feel your inner strength
    Everything's so secure now, I can make the length

    Your voice holds me bound, I hang on every word
    Everything makes sence now, because everything is absurd

      Oh the days are long, as I wait for your song
      But wait yes I will, a prophecy I will fill
      Oh the days are long, as I wait for your song
      But wait yes I will, a prophecy I will fill

    My sweet subtle siren, bind me from within
    Smash up my fears, take me from the din


3)  Power Over Me  (2:33)

      It isn't against my will, but you bend me
      You never force your hand, but you persaude me

      You whisper your wish, and I always comply
      Your body language speaks, because it never lies

         You have that power over me, you have ways to make me see
         It's your way or no way, you have that power over me

     You have a way with me, that is all of your own
     You take and shape me, and show me the unknown

     You motion me to come, and I never refuse
     I give it my all, for I pay my dues

        You have that power over me, you have ways to make me see
        It's your way or no way, you have that power over me

     You whisper your wish, and I always comply
     Your body language speaks, because it never lies

        You have that power over me, you have ways to make me see
        It's your way or no way, you have that power over me

4)  Oh God (Live version)  (4:26)

     Don't know how long I've been here, don't know how long I've been here
     How long will it take to get high? There's no one waiting for me at home
     Let's lay out and watch the sky
      Oh God
      I'd rather be stoned. Oh God, I'd rather be stoned

     Oh what time is it? Second thought I don't give a shit
     I've got no purpose in this life, I watch as they burn down my home
     All I see is hunger and strife
       Oh God
       I'd rather be stoned. Oh God, I'd rather be stoned

     Don't worry there is no pain. It's just one of life's little games
     I have no uncertain loyalities, I know I'm only flesh and bone
     I'm a little low on self securities
      Oh God
      I'd rather be stoned. Oh God, I rather be stoned.

5)  Save Me    (4:03)

    Take a look at yourself, do you like what you see?
    If you could change yourself, what would you want to be?
   
    I don't know what am asking, so just tell me to stop
    But I had this idea, we could go to the top

        Oh no, save me, hold me, scold me
        Delusions of grandeur, tell me it's gonna be okay...
        (Okay, okay, okay, okay)

    If you could walk on water, would that mean you were he?
    Would it be an obvious sign, or open to scrutiny?

     I don't know what I'm saying, so just ask me to stop
     But I had this idea, we could be the ones on top

        Oh no, save me, hold me, scold me
        Delusions of grandeur, tell me it's gonna be okay...
        (Okay, okay, okay, okay)

        Hold me tighter, until the facination fades
        (Fades, fades, fades, fades)


6)  Guilty    (4:33)

     Don't know what it is, am I too new to this glitz?
     Am I too damn innocent, how is it then I feel so guilty?

        As grand as I can be, it's always inside of me
        As bold as I dare, it's a feeling that's always there
        Guilty

     I try to live my life so true, and it's everything I do
     To stay most innocent, why though does guilt shoot through me?

         As grand as I think I am, there is a bursting at my dam
         It's only a matter of time, I'll realize my crimes
         Guilty

    In the dead of time, a feeling so sublime
    It overcomes me, it's my own deity

         As grand as I can be, it's always inside of me
         As bold as I dare, it's a feeling that's always there
         Guilty
         As grand as I think I am, there is a bursting at my dam
         It's only a matter of time, I'll realize my crimes
         Guilty


7)   Chainsaw   (3:35)

      I see you, but I cross away, I've heard about you, so possessive
      You go all the way, into my soul, I'm not ready, but you take me

         You rip through me like a chainsaw, you rip through me like a chainsaw
         Top to bottom side to side, you rip through me like a chainsaw

      You scare me, you're so young, I'm terrified, when you come
      You're so powerful, over me, you demand it, am I ready?

          You rip through me like a chainsaw, you rip through me like a chainsaw
          Top to bottom side to side, you rip through me like a chainsaw

      And now I need you, and your fear, hold me tight, scold me near
      I was so tough, but now I'm weak, I've shown I can turn the other cheek

         You rip through me like a chainsaw, you rip through me like a chainsaw
         Top to bottom side to side, you rip through me like a chainsaw

      I am wood to you...

8)   Take It     (4:04)

       You can dish it out, ya you love to stir up shit
       You got lots to say ya, each and every day

       You've got your friends ya, they're so important to you
       You'll do anything they say, to not fall too far away

            You've gotta learn to take it, now that we're on top
            You're gonna have to shake it, cause we don't know how to stop

        You like to slander me, you always cross the line
        Your mind games tire me, you think you're so divine

            You've gotta learn to take it, now that we're on top
            You're gonna have to shake it, cause we don't know how to stop


9)  I'm Not Your Toy     (3:43)

     You toy with me, you have no mercy
     You're never ever kind, as you fuck with my mind

        Do you enjoy, making me your toy?
        You feed me shit, then treat me like it
        Don't wanna be your toy

     You set the rules, and then change them
     You never tell me though, which way you'll go

         Do you enjoy, making me your toy?
         You feed me shit, then treat me like it
         Don't wanna be your toy

10)   Pagan Love Song

        The room is spinning round and round
        But I'm so fucked up I can't hear a sound
        Your face is all over me
        Some kind of pseudo ecstasy 

          Don't tell me it's just puppy love
          This feeling is from heaven above
          This time I know it's for real
          This is true love that I feel. Not puppy love!

        My heart beats inside me so fast
        And everything around me appears so vast
        I need to feel the inside of you
        I need to do the pagan things we do

            Don't tell me it's just puppy love
            This feeling comes from heaven above
            This time I know it's for real
            This is true love that I feel. Not puppy love!


11)  Nothing To Fear  (4:52)

       Sometimes I just don't know, sometimes I'm right on
       Sometimes the answers right there, and sometimes it's gone

           Oh you know, how it goes

       Sometimes I want to yell, sometimes I want to whimper
       Sometimes I want to run away, and sometimes I want to stay

           Oh you know, how it goes

              But whatever the reason you know I'm there
              And you know that I'm not too scared to care
              My love for you will never ever disappear
              Stick with me and you've nothing to fear

        Sometimes I want to hold you, sometimes I need my space
        Sometimes I close my eyes, and sometimes I fall from grace

            Oh you know, how it goes

        Sometimes I want to leave you, sometimes I need to stay
        Sometimes I can listen, and sometimes I need my say!

            Oh you know, how it goes

                But whatever the reason you know I'm there
                And you know that I'm not too scared to care
                My love for you will never ever disappear
                Stick with me and you've nothing to fear

12)  Going Down  (2:33)

       There's something about you, can't put my finger on it
       Before you was just another face, you've changed and I like it

           Going down, going down

        Yesterday I wouldn't have looked twice, but now I'm doing a double take
         I like what I see, and I'm going down for the make

            Going down, going down

         Don't you walk away, I want you near me every day
         It's not your make-up or the way you do your hair, I can't put a finger on it

            Going down, for the count. Going down, I'm a new man!

         Looky looky at you, you're all mine and no one else's
         We'll go on to love forever, now we're going down together

            Going down, going down. Down, down, down, down...
            Going down
