@ALBUM: JOINED IP WRITING @ARTIST: Anne Clark Album-Title: Joined Up Writing @SONG: NOTHING AT ALL All this tenderness has come to nothing All that we require is being rearranged I've no wish to look to the future For my exspectations will no doubt be changed Just rolloing along on the rest of the waves My statements and strategies are quickly dismissed Poisoned pens in invisible paper Steel knuckles concealed by velvet fists What is the chance of us living Some of our simplest dreams Are all the structures we build here Really as frail as they seem The dying are the lovers of this modern world The power and the glory survives With radio active bargaining And the valueness of our lives My turn to crumble My turn to fall From so very humble To nothing al all. @SONG: WELTSCHMERZ This is where silence runs its course And sadness wipes its eyes upon us We fall from a structure build on troubled minds My world becomes iron and grows an cold as Winter Soldiers in uniforms of nudity march over open hearts Sweetly and sickly scented by roses And your world id crushing you like those flowers By scripts written into your skinwith the in of thorns Ashen faces sink into silence All lonesome trends brush shoulders All of last nights degredation Builds foundations on us both. @SONG: KILLING TIME Stumbling words and stuttering lips Make the sentence complete A death sentence complete Create hell our of hopelessness Confirm the failure of it all Falling and calling Falling and crawling A Stick in the ground scratches your name A scream in the darkness is searching Again and again Watching eyes wait for sadeness to rise True superstitions combine and thicken This poison that reaches my Soul This terror that blackens my Soul I must smile at your strategy And laugh at your plan And the execution of it all Like death itself love is rotting inside of me But there'll be no protection for you - you cannot hide me I am cold on a bed of ice But like seasons I know it will pass It will always return again though A Summer of love is a momentary and transient thing Winter will always return again. @SONG: TRUE LOVE TALES Love is all we need - you said As you hold me in the confidence of your bed Tomorrow's turned into today instead! And I wake each morning feeling so ashamed Having fallen to emotions that we both named How shallow now all that rubbish seems Hearts once full are bleeding dreams Dreams that were reality Have now brought out the worst in me I don't want a part in this The stinging touch, the poisoned kiss The alibis to keep us close The lies you spit when I need you most Love is just a paradox He loves me, he loves me not A basic human nedd is such To be able to destry with just one touch A stinking filthy trick i'd say One day the prey Love is just a heart disease And no cure can make this aching ease But I'll tranquilise myself from that Let fit emotions turn to fat Let care and concern not breed here I've had and seen them disappear Tear stained eyeswillnot be seen When to touch is nothing more then obscene To fuck it seems is the only word The ability to love seems so absurd Absurd because we know we lie Laughing at it all as someone cries One day I may find it quite amusing How touch and tongues make life so confusing Love was all we needed - it's dead As the sheets grow cold on your big bad bed Tomorrow's not important - it's dead @SONG: SELF DESTRUCT Suicide is an urban disease Spread by peolple and places like these A quick self destruct from the 21st floor A smell of gas through the kitchen door A stab in the back from the workers and bosses They're counting their gains as you count your losses As you count your losses Blow the world apart with the press of a button We all say it shouldn't but we know it will happen Again and again like the rain and the ark Onwards forever eternally dark Eternally dark The grit in your eye soon enters your heart And all that was strength is just falling apart We're jumping from one bed and into another Searching for something that we'll never discover Never discover So we go on breeding - breeding contempt From all of the repression that this has meant If the bombs and the fire don't instantly kill Then the greed from the ashes certainly will Certainly will This place is not my place This place is not yours We're set on self destruct For no reason or cause If the bombs and the fire don't instantly kill Then the greed from the ashes certainly will Certainly will @SONG: OUR DARKNESS Through these city nightmares you'd walk with me And we'd talk of it with idealistic assurance That it wouldn't tear us apart We'd keep our heads above the blackened water But there's no room for ideals in this mechanical place And you're gone now Through a grimy window that I can't keep clean Through billowing smoke that's swallowed the sun You're nowhere to be seen Do you think our desires still burn I guess it was desires that tore us apart There has to be passion A passion for living, surviving And that means detachment Every-body has a weapon to fight you with To beat you with when you are down There were too many defence between us Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time Doubting all the time Fearinf all the time That like these urban nightmares We'd blacken each other skies When we passed the subway we tried to ignore our fate there Of written threats on endless walls Unjustified crimes carried on stifled calls Would you walk with me now through this pouring rain It used to mingle with our tears then dry with the hopes That we left behind It rains even harder now .
