Log In

Pass the tea and sympathy for the good old days long gone
We'll drink a toast to those who most believe in what they've won
It's a long, long time 'til morning plays wasted on the dawn
And I'll not write another line, for my true love is gone

When I have no dreams to give you anymore
I'll light a blazing fire and wait within the door
And throw my life away, "I wonder why?" they all will say
And now I lay me down to sleep, forever and a day"

Here come old flattop he come grooving up slowly
He got joo-joo eyeball he one holy roller
He got hair down to his knee
Got to be a joker he just do what he please

He wear no shoeshine he got toe-jam football
He got monkey finger he shoot coca-cola
He say "I know you, you know me"
One thing I can tell you is you got to be free
Come together, right now, over me.

Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as white as snow
Those are the hill of heaven, my love
You and I'll never know

Oh what are those hills yonder, my love
They look as dark as night
Those are the hills of hell-fire my love
Where you and I will unite

Oh twice around went the gallant ship
I'm sure it was not three
When the ship all of a sudden, it sprung a leak
And it drifted to the bottom of the sea

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
I've been living on the edge so long
Where the winds of limbo roar
And I'm young enough to look at
And far too old to see
All the scars are on the inside
I'm not sure if there's anything left of me

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating up our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You ask me why I'm weary, why I can't speak to you
You blame me for my silence
Say it's time I changed and grew
But the war's still going on dear
And there's no end that I know
And I can't say if we're ever...
I can't say if we're ever gonna to be free

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
It's time we had some leave
We've been living in the flames
We've been eating out our brains
Oh, please don't let theses shakes go on

You see me now a veteran of a thousand psychic wars
My energy's spent at last
And my armor is destroyed
I have used up all my weapons and I'm helpless and bereaved
Wounds are all I'm made of
Did I hear you say that this is victory?

Don't let these shakes go on
It's time we had a break from it
Send me to the rear
Where the tides of madness swell
And been sliding into hell
Oh, please don't let shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on
Don't let these shakes go on

English Translation
It was fun just to spin, and I wanted to stay that way
When I just kept spinning I forgot how to stop
My pals around me spun much better than me
So I muttered, "Oh well," and pretended to give up
An 85 cm radius is as far as my hands can reach
I'm going to show you now, so please stand back
A 250 cm radius is as far as my hands can reach
I'm going to start moving around now, so please stand back
It was fun to spin aimlessly, and I wanted to stay that way
If I kept on spinning aimlessly, I believed something could come of it
My pals around me could spin so much higher than me
So I pretended to sulk when my neck grew sore from watching from below
A 5200 cm radius is as far as my hands can reach
I'm going to start flying around now, so please stand back
What do you think? If my former self could see me now, would she be proud?
Though I'm growing dizzy and losing my balance
The streets of the town, observed from a 23.4º tilt [1]
Suddenly became a color I'd never seen before
A 6300 km radius is as far as my hands can reach
I've realized that I can do it now, so please stand back
An 85 cm radius is as far as my hands can reach
When I someday grow tired of spinning, please stay by me

This appeared as a moral dilemma
Cause at first it was weird though I swore to eliminate
The worst of the plague that devoured humanity
It’s true I was vague on the ‘How’
so how can it be that you have shown me the light?

It’s a brand new day
And the sun is high
All the birds are singing
That you’re gonna die
How I hesitated
Now I wonder why
It’s a brand new day

All the times that you beat me unconscious I’ll forgive
All the crimes Incomplete, listen honestly I’ll live
Mr. Cool, Mr. Right, Mr. Knowitall is through
Now my future’s so bright and I owe it all to you
Who showed me the light

It’s a brand new me
I’ve got no remorse
Now the water’s rising but I know the course
I’m gonna shock the world
Gonna Show Bad Horse
It’s a Brand New Day

And Penny will see the evil me
Not a joke not a dork not a failure
And she may cry but her tears will dry
When I hand her the keys to a shiny new Australia.

It’s a brand new day
Yeah the sun is high
All the angels sing
Because you’re gonna die
Go ahead and laugh
Yeah I’m a funny guy
Tell everyone goodbye
It’s a brand new day

If, while you're out in space, love
You're horny as a targ
Take a tip from a security chief, love
That phat slut Tasha Yar
She discovered the pleasures of Data
He became her sexual pet

'cause he's fully functional, and anatomically correct
He's fully functional and anatomically correct

His Defiant, with its thrusters, will explode in your wormhole
and he'll rub his trusty spangler wrench on your warpcore manifold
his multiphasic torpedo, will penetrate your rift
and cause a quantum singularity in your transwarp conduit

So if you're a filthy horta, Data's your bestest bet
'cause he's fully functional, and anatomically correct
He's fully functional and anatomically correct

He gently massages your gel packs
while he replicates some lube
Then he shoves his throbbing razor beast into your Jefferies tube
So lower your shields, spread your nacelles, to make room for his craft
as he thrusts his delta flyer into your big fat juicy aft

So if you're a filthy horta Data's your bestest bet
'cause he's fully functional, and anatomically correct
He's fully functional and anatomically correct

His pelvis: a tireless engine, he shakes it when he struts
He's full of dilithium crystals, in his bolts and in his nuts
He too likes to be pleasured
He will put you on your knees
And if you're into disgrace
He will cover your face with his android anti-freeze

so if you're a filthy horta, Data's your bestest bet
'cause he's fully functional, and anatomically correct
He's fully functional and anatomically correct

He's fully functional... and anatomically correct!
