It's A Shame My Binoculars Don't Work At Night

Post by ken »

it's a shame my binoculars don't work at night
by brain socket

it's a shame, it's a shame my binoculars
don't work at night
it's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
i can't see you all the time
there's no way, there's no way, there's no way
i can wait another day
i'll be fine, i'll be fine, i'll be fine
if i can get you off my mind

i'm staring at the business end
of a shotgun sticking through my steering wheel
there's no-one passing in my rear view mirror
and i'm reaching for the bag that holds my final meal
your window's open but the lights aren't on
and i'm wondering if you're gonna call
will you find me in the morning on your way to school
or will you never even notice me at all

it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
it's a crying shame
it's a crime, it's a crime, it's a crime
it's a fucking crime
there's no way, there's no way, there's no way
there's no fucking way
i'll be fine, i'll be fine, i'll be fine
i'll be just fine
it's a shame, it's a shame, it's a shame
it's a crying shame

It's a Shame My Binoculars Don't Work at Night
------------By Broken Class---------------------
(it's on the online archive as well)

I know you leave your curtains open
I know you like to show it off
I wish you were home in the daytime
So I could watch you take it off

Your exhibitionist nature suits you well
If you'll do a show for me, I won't tell

I wish we lived closer together
So I would have a better view
I strain to see a tiny silhouette
I want to see what you do

I don't dare to get closer, I might get caught
My heart says to go, my heart says not

It's a shame my binoculars don't work at night
It's a bitch how my plans never come out right
It's a shame my binoculars don't work at night

Together, we wait for the bus
Yeah, it's just like us to share these little moments
Keeps us in touch

It's my favorite part of the day

Together, we lay in your yard
Yeah, it's hard to retrieve my stare
Almost like I'm really there

It's my favorite part of the day

And oh how my eyes caress your flowing hair
a risk my hands could never dare
for fear of ruining a perfect affair

Together we finish our meal
And I feel like I never tasted 'til your face graced my view
I give thanks to you (amen)

Don't hurry to bed
That's when I worry for your pretty head
'Cuz though you couldn't know, you're only alone in the absence of light
It's a shame my binoculars don't work at night

It Is a Shame My Binoculars Don't Work At Night

I had a dream last night midnight
I rode a war machine to fight
I rode it round I cut them down
till I was the only one left around

I heard the children play in the street
no work to do, no one to meet
I saw them swinging round and round
ashes ashes all fall down

and I look around my mind
for signs of life of something left behind
but the focal lens is all painted black
the guilt is all upon my back

living a life of honesty
philosophy has tainted me
got to find a way to make it even
before my heart's no longer beating

don't you know there's no good way
to focus straight on your reflection
till it's always far too late
binoculars never work at night


the sun is gone it's dark again
regret remorse my only friends
I have no alibi
oh judge oh jury, execution

have no mercy I make no plea
give me nothing but your understanding
I have always been destined to be
the doer of my own unravelling

and I look around my mind
for signs of life of something left behind
but the focal lens is all painted black
the guilt is now upon my back

living a life of modesty
philosophy has tainted me
got to find a way to make it even
before my heart's no longer beating

don't you know there's no good way
to focus straight on your reflection
till it's always far too late
binoculars never work at night

it's a damned shame you know
but that's the way it goes it goes

binoculars never seem to work at night


I told you all about my dream
of sepiatone blood and tangerine
but when the morning came
my vision still was none the clearer

the world around was live by then
all blue and black and white again
there's no justice they would say
in living life through the rear view

and I look around my mind
for signs of life of something left behind
but the focal lens is all painted black
the guilt is all upon my back

living a life of modesty
philosophy has ruined me
I know I can never make it even
before my heart stops this beating

It's a damned shame
It's a damned shame you know
but that's the way it goes it goes
it goes it goes it goes

Factor T

-------------------------

every morning she is gone
and i feel so all alone
in the evening she'll be back
but all i can see is black

i sit all alone all day
i don't want to be this way
if my binoculars only worked at night
i could be with you right now
if i could only figure how
to see you unaided by visible light

maybe modern technology
could possibly assist me
to see you lying in your bed
reflecting mostly infrared

i sit all alone all day
i don't want to be this way
if my binoculars only worked at night
i could be with you right now
if i could only figure how
to see you unaided by visible light

sometimes my robot can mumble. this should clear up all the debates i'm sure you're having over my lyrics on other newsgroups i don't read.

It is a shame my binoculars don't work at night - djSurly

Never under estimate the power of denial
All i did was party and get laid
party and get laid
ha ha ha ha
This isn't life
This is just stuff
And it's become more important to you than living
Well honey, that's just nuts
I'm not paying you to do whatever it is you're doing
Fine, so don't pay me.
Excuse me
I quit, so you don't have to pay me.
Oh, was that him?
I dunno
How many fingers did he have?
I'm sorry, i couldn't get my binoculars out in time.
Are you hot for johnson?
It's a shame my binoculars don't work at night.
Who's hot? Who's hot?
It is a shame you are not hot for johnson.
I dual you, johnson.
Johnson!
Johnson!

Acid Mouth - djSurly

Acid mouth!? I prefer cotton mouth.
The opposite of acid is base.
Base!
Decontamination!
Acid mouth, don't forget
Gotta tie up the loose ends

Raised by Wolves

Darkness
I can hear the things I cannot see
Furniture
I can feel it move itself round me
They say
A photograph can catch your mortal soul
Frozen
Like a dead bird caught under the snow

And if I had superpowers
I’d burn this whole place to the ground
I’d make a city out of darkness
I’d build a new world without sound

Sailors
A picture painted on the wall
Binoculars
It’s too dark to hear you call
Medicine
Red and green and black and white
I hear
The voices calling in the night

And if I had superpowers
I’d make the Earth be flat again
I’d bring back dragons and the monsters
I’d push those sailors off the end

Hello?
Are you listening?
Hello?
Are you... listening?
You can fly
You can fly
Won’t you... try?
You can fly

And if I had superpowers
I’d kill these monsters in my head
I’d make you want to let me come home
You wouldn’t have to pretend
