1983 B-sides & Extras Lyrics

Mr. Pink Eyes — B-side to The Lovecats UK 12” single

You look so cool
Oh, I don’t think!
Just fall over
Be like me
Mr. Pink Eyes

Your mind is blank
And mine’s away
Oh, you can’t see
You can’t smell
Mr. Pink Eyes

It’s got to be jazz!
That’s what she wants
You are so vile
Mr. Pink Eyes

Oh, give me a look
Give me a look
Or sit on my head
Or jump on my foot
Do something!

(You’re nothing, really)

A Hand Inside my Mouth — Demo August 1983

(One more glare
The moonlight fools)
It feels so bad
It feels this good

Baby baby baby
Upside down
Baby baby
Chase me ’round and ’round
Baby baby baby
Inside out
Wake me up
With a hand inside my mouth

Stuck and hooked
An inch away from the floor
Six sides to every lie I tell
Maybe more
The American voice
American voice again
It was never quite like this before
It was never quite like this before

Baby baby baby
Chase me down
Baby baby baby
‘Round and ’round
Baby baby baby
Inside out
Wake me up
With shame

Baby baby baby
Upside down
Baby baby
Chase me ’round and ’round
Baby baby baby
Inside out
Wake me up
With a hand inside my mouth

Sadacic — Demo December 1983-eventually becomes New Day

Shout!
Shout!
Shout!
New day
New lie
I see this again
The same
This time has gone again
This
In the sky
This
Here in my hand
Shout!

Jumping on it from the trees
Doing the same
On the air
On the air

Shout!
Shout!

In heaven the ground is waiting
See my eye
Once more
It’s been the same song
Babbling
On this
On all of you
Shout!
Shout!
Shout!

Piggy in the Mirror — Demo December 1983

Shapes in the drink like Christ
Cracks in the pale blue wall
I’m walking slowly and quickly but always away
[?] your faces one more [?]

Flowers in your mouth and the same [?]
Everything away from [?]
Sixteen white legs and rows of teeth
They watch you in secrecy
You’re dying, when the hope is gone
From here I go nowhere again
I’m changing too much
I can’t climb out the way I fell in [?]

Jump with me, for that old forgotten dance
The midnight sun will slip away
Your life is cold, your life is hard
Your life is too sick for words

These occasions are such a relief
Another point, another way
Hey hey hey!
We start to talk, and it’s all so kind

Footsteps on a wire, high above my head
And the stain reveals my real intention
I’m the waiting beast, I’m the twisted nerves
Dance, dance back to the body in my bed
To the body in my bed
To the body in my bed
To the body in my bed

Look at the piggy
At the piggy, in the
Look at the piggy

The Caterpillar — Demo December 1983

Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Wearing a familiar and glowing [?]
Skies a plenty, so sticky in my mind
The spiders legs, legs
A flame’s a flames
Dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
Flies flies fly a year ago and twist around my feet.

Flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker, flicker
Here you are
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Caterpillar girl
Wearing a familiar and glowing [?]
Dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
Flies flies fly a year ago and twist around my feet

Your purchase skies of so sticky in mind
The spider’s legs are broke, legs are broke
Whispers flames and kiss us blind
Dust my lemon lies
With powder, pink and sweet
Flies flies fly a year ago and twist around my feet

Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-caterpillar girl
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata

Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata
Cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-cata-caterpillar girl

Happy the Man — Demo December 1983

I didn’t understand
Come closer and I’ll whisper
Who was that standing in the rain?
The verse it loves you, years of [?]
Who was it standing by your side?

Happy the man with the heart of gold
Happy the man with the [?]
The man with the heart of gold

Throw Your Foot — Demo December 1983

It’s funny how your face gets bigger
Gets bigger in this atmosphere
Time you with every short phrase you try it’s so f f in here
Lighter in speed like a boy you’re so old and [?]

Fifteen times I try this
And every time I faint
You look at me and
Start to tell the joke
About the man who couldn’t stop
Hiccuping…

It would be so lovely
If you would just fall out the window!
Throw your foot away!
You’re tired and your face is grey
Like the sad old fool
You groove…
Hey hey hey!!!

It’s funny how your skin gets bigger
Gets funny in this atmosphere
Time you with every short phrase you try it’s so f f funny here
Lying there in secret like as boy, as old as the world can stop
Throw your foot away!

You’re tired and your foot’s gone grey
Like the sad old fool stopping
Funny here

Sick as a boy

Sleep as a boy

Sick as a boy
