Thought I'd start a new feature translating Wayne's lyrics so we can see what he was really talking about. I know this should be in the Mish section but some of Wayne's songs were a little bit naughty so I've put it here in the Dungeon to shield our more sensitive members from the awful truth. All contributions welcome.
I'll start the ball rolling with Kingdom Come. First, here are the actual lyrics.
Desert rat cry me wolf
Shedding skin upon your lips
I pray for the love of madness
For the hand that takes the grip
And we close our eyes to forgive and forget
And we close our eyes to forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
With baited breath for the kingdom come
With baited breath for the kingdom come
I build myself a brave asylum
And ask all the madmen to play host
And when the colours all fade away
It's time for us to give up the ghost
Give up the ghost
And we close our eyes to dream awhile
And we close our eyes to dream awhile
Dream awhile
With baited breath for the kingdom come
With baited breath for the kingdom come
While we're talking in tongues of animal behaviour
With a flick of the wrist you could've broken my heart
And done yourself a favour
And I cry in the heat for the promised and given
Hand I once would trust
Now for the love of heaven you won't see me
See me for dust
And we close our eyes to love again
And we close our eyes to love again
Love again
With baited breath for the kingdom come
With baited breath for the kingdom come
With baited breath for the kingdom come
With baited breath for the kingdom come
And now the translation:
We're out in the desert
Having a blow job
I'm starting to lose control
And wish you'd use your hand instead
And we close our eyes so we don't have talk about it
And we close our eyes so we don't have talk about
My premature ejaculation problem
With baited breath trying not to come
With baited breath trying not to come
I try to blot it out
By thinking about blow jobs from the past
But when I run out of distractions
We both have to accept that I'm gonna finish too soon
Finish too soon
And we close our eyes and pretend we're asleep
And we close our eyes and pretend we're asleep
To save embarrassment
With baited breath trying not to come
With baited breath trying not to come
And while you're licking my knob
And I'm licking yours
Er, I mean your lady parts
And there's about as much romance as two rutting hippos
If you'd used a little extra wrist action
You could have had this over and done with and gone home early
And I cry because my todger's getting sunburned
And your hands are a little bit rough
Now I'm so embarrassed
You won't see me for dust
Besides, there's a cop coming
And we close our eyes and shag again
And we close our eyes and shag again
Watch where that sand's going!
With baited breath trying not to come
With baited breath trying not to come
With baited breath trying not to come
With baited breath trying not to come
Oops, too late
Sorry
Any more for any more? |

| Some are about drugs. And some are about shagging while taking drugs. And some are about things Wayne read that were written by other people who were on drugs. And possibly shagging. |

Okay... now. I only have about 15 minutes to write this down.
I cannot get up
I've been drinking again
You see through me (Note: original correct word order, changed so it would scan)
To the greedy child within
and what others will let me do
You are faithful and here
But it's not enough
My sense of self worth
Is wrapped up in
Sex Sex Sex
I need lots of sex. indiscriminately.
You're fabulous to look at
And you have great hair
No, I won't give you my sunglasses
Just turn around and give me
Sex Sex sex
I need lots of sex, inexhaustibly
You took care of me
I have (some) faith in you
(some) hope in you
But what of liberty?
When the stage lights have shut down
Pay attention to me
Pay attention to me
(I want sex... sex. sex. inconstantly)
I need to get poetic
And talk about your charms
Rhapsodic, not pathetic
to have you in my arms
For Sex, sex, sex, I want a lot of sex...
flamboyantly.
...find shelter in my arms, and sleep the sleep of angels, if only you believe I'm all tangled up in you... |

And there was me thinking this thread had gone down like a lead balloon. (Never understood that expression: surely lead balloons go down exceptionally well.) Have to admit it took me a while to work out what song it was, especially when I saw the sig at the bottom and spent ten minutes trying to work out what any of this had to do with All Tangled Up In You! Got there in the end though. Perhaps a little harsher than I'd have been but it's nice to know that there's some interest after all so I'll get to work on the next one but here's a quickie to tide you over.
MERCENARY
I'm a little bit ticked off with you right now
But we can discuss it like adults in the morning |

As requested...
BRIDGES BURNING
actual lyrics:
Snow blind, dog tired
Snow blind and barb wired
Last chance in the jungle trance
And the fast step of the monkey dance craze
War paint
Misty daze and dizzy faint
Keeping the faith, spinning and turning
Watch the flames of bridges burning
Turning colours and shedding skin
Shining bright through thick and thin
Mirror of gods, legend and myth
And the fatal charm
Of the treasure gift wrapped and heaven sent
Soul trapped on islands of intent
Avenging angel of the wild and yearning
Stoke the flames of bridges burning
It's burning me over
Bridges burning
Burning drives me wild
Yearning for the small child
Blind men cry but shed no tears
See no evil but speak in tongues
And hear you say "lovers leap
Cos there's no other way across waters deep"
Fear the fire and the fool is learning
To run from the flames of bridges burning
translation:
Got cocaine in my eye
Exhausted from shagging an ugly girl
Stop blowing cocaine in my eye!
Or I'll whip you with my bondage gear - this is your last chance!
Oh, the coke's making me dance like a monkey
(This is back in the days when I still wore make-up)
I won't remember this in the morning - I'm gonna fall over
(It was our first tour) my head's spinning
Now I've dropped my spliff and set the place on fire
Look at the pretty kaleidoscope - hee hee hee
Oh, someone's giving me a blow job
What a stud I am - oh, I've lost my wood
Oh, there's a mirror - God, I look great
And what about that fatal charm, eh?
Oh she's unzipping me again - and it's heaven!
I'll do the same for her later, honest
Ow! Don't bite me - I really mean it
God that smarts!
It's still stinging
Even after the instrumental
But you know I like a bit of S&M
How old are you anyway and what's the legal age in this state?
Still got coke in my eye
So I can't see what you look like but I'll give you a Frenchie anyway
And hear you say "Quick! Jump out the window
Before we get caught"
I'm afraid I feel a proper fool now
Run from the torches and the pitchforks!
(Obviouly falls into the "shagging while taking drugs" category)

Next up Garden of Delight. I've gone for the Hereafter version cos it's got more words. (Yeah, it's missing the bit about kissing in a playground but you can get arrested for that sort of thing.)
actual lyrics:
I see your dancing, laughing, naked
Sweet and pretty face
And the promise burning brightly
In your crystal-shot eyes
Your savage and violent flesh
The cut that bleeds, the kiss that stings
We're shooting up stars and desperate snows
That fall from shimmering skies
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
Revelation is laid and reflects
On the windswept liquid mirror
Of this breathless whirl, this happy death
This elegance and charm
The treasured and precious
First fleeting touch of a gracious stranger
Enchant me and entrance me
I know you can do me no harm
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
We're playing with fire, dancing in the flames
And we're covered in burns that may never heal
And angels may come and angels may go
But it's heaven on earth
When you take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden of delight
So take my hand and lead me
To the garden
translation:
You've not got your balaclava on
And your eyes are glazed over
Been on the crystal meth again?
You should put a plaster on that
Fancy a snog - oh God, you've been eating chilli haven't you?
Let's inject something to take our minds off it
Why do they keep throwing confetti during Wasteland?
Take my hand and lead me to your lady garden
Take my hand and lead me
To your delightful lady garden
Admiring my own windswept reflection in the duck pond
Does my boyish charm take your breath away?
You don't know me well enough to touch me like that!
I'm not scared of you - I take self-defence classes
So take my hand and lead me to your lady garden
Take my hand and lead me
Cos I can't find it by myself
I know I like bondage
But stubbing your fag out on my chest is going a bit far
I have a different groupie every night
Woo-hoo!
So take my hand and lead me to your lady garden
Take my hand and lead me
Cos I'm comparing sex to a Hieronymous Bosch painting
Which is really quite disturbing |

Okay, I know this one is kind of covering similar territory but it's been calling me from the start and I can't resist. It's also a place-holder cos the one I'm really working on is taking longer than expected. So, I give you
LOVE ME TO DEATH
Be warned: despite all the girly poetry, this is one of the filthiest songs Wayne ever wrote. And the chorus suggests it was written for a Geordie girl.
actual lyrics:
Let me come inside your ivory tower
Let me come inside your hallowed walls
God it's heaven in here
Fix me with your hand of grace
Fix me with your touch your precious thrill
Your fingers dance accross my skin
Reaching out for the pride of man
Hand in hand flesh in flesh
Were walking through the fire of love
Breath by breath and flame by flame
We burn till the sun rises and shines hot
Love comes gushing love runs free
My love comes all over you
My love comes for you
Love me to death my flower
Run barefoot through my hair
Naked on my lips
Love me to death my precious
Smother me with kisses
Drown me with your waves of falling sweetness
Hold me dear bury me deep
Bless me with your word of savage honour
We love more by fate than design
So give me your hands and I'll gladly give you my life
My flower that sways in the breeze
You must be stronger than the winds that blow you away
Blow you away
Love me to death my precious
Run barefoot through my hair
Dance wild on my lips
Love me to death my flower
Lay me down on your bed of petals
Cover me with your honey my blossom
Love me to death
Love me to death
Love me to death my flower
Love me to death my treasure
Run barefoot through my hair
Dance wild on my heart
Love me to death my precious
Love me to death my love
Tarnish taint and punish me softly
Softly love me to death
Love me to death
translation
Let me stick it in your vagina
Let me have an orgasm in your holiest of holies
God that feels nice
Give me a handjob
Yeah, right there baby
Your fingers dance accross my skin
Reaching out for my knob
We're holding hands we're having sex
It burns a bit cos you've got a slight infection
Heavy breathing - ooh that stings
We shag all night - oh I wish I'd closed the curtains
Spunk comes gushing spunk runs free
I'm gonna come on your tits
Cos you won't swallow
Shag me to death petal
Give me a footjob
And I'll kiss you anywhere you like
Shag me to death precious
Kiss me all over
Smear your juices on my face
You're gonna have to guide me in cos I'm not very experienced
Talk dirty to me
We got drunk last night and ended up in bed together
So give me your hands and I'll gladly give you a shag
I'm starting to lose my erection
Sorry for farting in bed
Any chance of a blow job?
Shag me to death pet
It's an interesting position but can you take your toe out of my eye?
Shudder a bit when I kiss you there even if you have to fake it
Shag me to death flower
That's a bit of a girly quilt
Give me a golden shower
Shag me to death
Shag me to death
Shag me to death petal
Shag me to death treasure
You want me to suck your toes? Oh, alright then
No, walking on my chest does nothing for me I'm afraid
Shag me to death hinny
Shag me to death love
Up for a bit of light bondage?
Go easy though cos that's a delicate instrument
Shag me to death

Listen, I've pressed Hussey on lyrics on many occasions. His answers are just as garbled and incoherent as the actual lyrics. It's like he's playing some sort of blind man's bluff with a dictionary and thesaurus. And we all know what his eye sight is like !
If you want to pull him up on anything ask him why he went through a phase of throwing the words Ravaged and Savaged into all his songs.. for starters.
The man's an enigma ..but knowing Wayne he'd just rearrange the letters to make the words "A MINGE " :) |

Thanks. Unless you're talking about Wrenn's contribution, in which case thanks but with a more ironic tone of voice. |

Okay, finally here's the one that's been causing me problems. Many times (well, once) Wayne has said that Beyond The Pale was his only political song. And he's always (well, once) refused to explain specifically what it's about. I can now exclusively reveal that it's a searing indictment of the old age pension. You can even sing this one to the tune - it rhymes and everything. (Had to try it at least once after Wrenn's TOS showed me up.)
actual lyrics:
Cold still waters running deep
Pale before the eyes
Ravaged
By the hands that feed
Thunder clouds the skies
Drifting with the tide
Floating with the stream
The howling winds have gathered strength
From a wisper to a scream
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just on last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Heed to Neptune's calling decieved in fable and lore
Learn from treacherous bibles
Of murder, hate and war
Searching for the tears
In an ocean of rain
The yearning of the raging sea beckons once again
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just on last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Gathering of the storm
And the winds are blowing wild
Sweeping over cross and creed, country, colour and child
Mother Nature cries for love
Her childeren lost at sea
And as the waves take me away
Say a prayer for liberty
Sell me down the river
And out to sea
Cast me adrift and set me to sail
Just on last kiss before raising hell
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
Beyond the pale
translation:
Boiler's on the blink again
Skin is turning blue
Meals on wheels
Has given me the trots
It's bloody raining too
My mind's started to wander
How did I get here?
I can't eat pastry - gives me wind
Speak up, I'm a bit deaf in one ear
I'm going down the duck pond
To feed the ducks
I might not come back if I forget who I am
Give yer gran a kiss - don't make such a fuss
You've gone a bit pale
Very pale indeed
A man came to my door, said he was from the church
Tried to sell me a Bible
And then he stole my purse
I've lost my specs again
I'm sure I left them here
I'm saving up for a SAGA cruise cos I had such a good time last year
I'm going down the canal
To get some peace
Leave me alone I can manage myself
If I see any kids then I'll give 'em hell
You're looking a bit pale
Decidedly peaky
Better take the washing in
Shouldn't have eaten those prunes
I'll do the hoovering later on in the afternoon
The garden's getting too much for me now
And the kids they never phone
Don't you try and put me away
I'm not going in a home
I'm off down the allotment
To check the spuds
There goes me back - bring me that chair
I need a sit down - it's just over there
It's in the corner
Next to the compost
Just past that bucket
Beyond the pail |
