"The Venus Of The Soup Kitchen Lyrics"
Winter Lyrics
I'm on my knees on a frozen land I'm looking at the sky and it's laughing at me I'll beg for mercy - but there's no mercy - Is that the way winter wants to kill me? Oh, no more snow no more
The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me
And all us poor cripples who've been in the wars
And up sleeping on her floor...
Woah !
When you're scared of down and out
You keep it to yourself and if anyone suspects
You say : "Who me ? Hardly !"
You tell him "Thank your stars, this isn't Derby day
'Cos it's clear you've got the gift for backing the wrong horse, Charlie."
Woah !
When you're scare
You camouflage your fear with a fakin' D.J. smile
And maybe some boogie dancin'
But there's no need to be proud
Hey if something's hurtin' you
Could be it hurts your brothers too
From Langley Park to Memphis
Last night, last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head
The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me
Singin' : "Sometimes the job gets you down
You're ashamed that the word will get round
Well all you poor crip
I'm on my knees on a frozen land I'm looking at the sky and it's laughing at me I'll beg for mercy - but there's no mercy - Is that the way winter wants to kill me? Oh, no more snow no more
The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me
And all us poor cripples who've been in the wars
And up sleeping on her floor...
Woah !
When you're scared of down and out
You keep it to yourself and if anyone suspects
You say : "Who me ? Hardly !"
You tell him "Thank your stars, this isn't Derby day
'Cos it's clear you've got the gift for backing the wrong horse, Charlie."
Woah !
When you're scare
Sub-Conscious Self-Destruction Lyrics
[Words: Saikkonen Music: Saikkonen, Javanainen] Through the centuries of misery Hand in hand with death we've wandered Another morning, the sun risen Shall we see it again You will never know Sub-conscious

Nightlife Lyrics
Looking through windows like a T.V. screen Nothing is ever black and white A sex film distraction for an armchair stud He's in love for the night Looking through windows of expensive cars This weeks flavour insideles who've been in the wars
End up sleeping on my floor."
Woah !
Now some will spin you yarns to keep you quiet for a while
But you know that's not my style, who needs fancy footwork ?
'Cos none of it adds up, no it doesn't weigh a thing
And it doesn't buy you beer, from Langley Park to Memphis
Last ight, last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head
The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me
Singin' : "Here you are, and I wo
Every night I know you'll be here staring hungrily
Well here you are, no I won't tell 'cos everyone I know
Wanders down here every night they've nowhere else to go."
The Venus of the soup kitchen is standing there over me
Every night I'm gonna be here staring hungrily
The Venus of the soup kitchen is waiting there for me
And all us poor cripples who've been in the wars
End up sleeping on her floor
Looking through windows like a T.V. screen Nothing is ever black and white A sex film distraction for an armchair stud He's in love for the night Looking through windows of expensive cars This weeks flavour inside
End up sleeping on my floor."
Woah !
Now some will spin you yarns to keep you quiet for a while
But you know that's not my style, who needs fancy footwork ?
'Cos none of it adds up, no it doesn't weigh a thing
And it doesn't buy you beer, from Langley Park to Memphis
Last ight, last night I dreamed I dared to raise my head
The Venus of the soup kitchen stood over me
