Hound of The Vaudeville

I'm in love with my fantasy world
Of high-heeled shoes and long-legged girls
I watch those dancers by the hot stage lights
And then slope off into the dead of night.
Skin-tight bodice and garter belt
Those fishnet stockings are gonna make me melt
Purple silk and sweet black lace
Full red lips on her painted face.
I'm a hound, I sniff around
I get my thrills from the vaudeville
Yeah, I'm a hound, I sniff around
I get my thrills from the vaudeville
I'm the hound of the vaudeville.
I'm in love with my fantasy world
Of high-heeled shoes and long-legged girls
I watch those dancers by the hot stage lights
And then slope off into the dead of night.
I'm a hound, I sniff around
I get my thrills from the vaudeville
Yeah, I'm a hound, I sniff around
I get my thrills from the vaudeville
I'm the hound of the vaudeville.
I'm going to that show tonight
I'm gonna feel my pants get tight... so tght
Everything is gonna be alright
Just as long as I see that show tonight ... alright!
I hang around by the backstage door
Coz I know I need to get me more
Of that sweet little sugar showgirl charm
A guy like me should have one on each arm.
I'm a hound, I sniff around
I get my thrills from the vaudeville
Yeah, I'm a hound, I sniff around
I get my thrills from the vaudeville
Yeah, I'm the hound of the vaudeville.

Horror Movie
03:07
|

I woke up this morning in a hospital bed
With wires and tubes taped to my head
I pushed the button but no one came
I hollered out, 'Hey!' but just the same.
I made my way into the corridor
I searched the ward but no one I saw
I called my good lady to drive me home
But there's no signal to my phone.
I think I'm living in a movie set
War of the Worlds I bet
Or did I wake in the apocalypse
Was it zombies or Captain Tripps?
Why are there no people here?
Where did they all disappear?
Did anybody else survive?
Or am I the only man alive?
Woke up in a horror movie
Sounds cool but it's not so groovy
Or did someone forget to mention
That had to move me to another dimension
Now I'm walking into town
My footsteps echoing all around
The streets are deserted, it's plain to see
That this is the end of humanity!
I think I'm living in a movie set
Dawn of the Dead I bet
Or did I wake in the apocalypse
Was it zombies or Captain Tripps?
Woke up in a horror movie
Sounds cool but it's not so groovy
Or did someone forget to mention
That had to move me to another dimension

Split Lips

Split lips and broken bones
While my girl's there yapping on her telephone
They're coming for me with sticks and stones
Saying, 'You're gonna take a swim like Brian Jones'
I drive my car to the service station
A guy starts giving me some aggravation
I said. 'I just wanna get some gas'
But this guy wants to kick some ass
Uh oh!
Split lips and broken bones
While my girl's there yapping on her telephone
They're coming for me with sticks and stones
Saying, 'You're gonna take a swim like Brian Jones'
I drive my Ford to the supermarket
I'm not causing fuss, I'm just trying to park it
A big bad dude says, 'That's my space'
Now he just wants to break my face
Uh oh!
Split lips and broken bones
While my girl's there yapping on her telephone
They're coming for me with sticks and stones
Saying, 'You're gonna take a swim like Brian Jones'
Is it something about my face?
It happens every night
I can't go to any place
Without getting into a fight!
Ow!
That hurt!
Split lips and broken bones
While my girl's there yapping on her telephone
They're coming for me with sticks and stones
Saying, 'You're gonna take a swim like Brian Jones'
Split lips and broken bones
While my girl's there yapping on her telephone
They're coming for me with sticks and stones
Saying, 'You're gonna take a swim like Brian Jones'

In Ruins
02:01

I first saw her walking up Carnaby Street
She looked so cool, yeah she looked so sweet.
I said, 'Let's get some coffee - it's my treat'
I never knew that I would end up some deadbeat.
She left me in ruins!
I invited her home, she checked out my gaff
I said. 'Sorry for the mess, I can't get the staff'
We curled up on the sofa having drinks and laughs
I never thought she'd lead me up the garden path
She left me in ruins!
She soon moved in and started wearing my shirts
She wore the trousers and I wore her skirts
I liked to party, she loved to flirt
I never thought I'd end up face down in the dirt
She left me in ruins!
She took every penny I earned
You'd think by now I would've learned
You'd think by now Iwould've been taught
That pretty girls can't be bought
I saw her the other day going up Carnaby Street
Some guy on her arm, his suit was pressed and neat
I said, 'Hey buddy! Watch your back - she ain't so sweet
He punched me in the head and knocked me off my feet
And left me in ruins
She left me in ruins
She left me in June
She left me in ruins
Oh, she left me in ruins!

Sanatorium
03:50
|
|||
|
Well, I live my life in a private hell
I'm bouncing off the walls of my padded cell
The people who come to see me, there no friends of mine
They strap me to a table while they look into my mind
Tie me to a trolley and wheel me down the hall
Shine lights into my eyes 'tiI can't see at all
Stick needles in my arms when I don't do what I'm told
I eat my daily gruel from a cracked plastic bowl
I'm not gonna leave the sanatorium
Til they send my body to the crematorium
In memorium
Well, I've been in this place far as long as I can tell
I beat my head against the wall of my padded cell
Why they put me in here, I really can't recall
Just spend my days beating my head against this wall
I'm not gonna leave the sanatorium
Til they send my body to the crematorium
I'm not gonna leave the sanatorium
Til they send my body to the crematorium
In memorium
Well, I live my life in a private hell
And the other guys here don't look too well
Tney don't do conversation, some daren't say nowt at all
And some like me just beat our heads against the wall
I'm not gonna leave the sanatorium
Til they send my body to the crematorium
I'm not gonna leave the sanatorium
Til they send my body to the crematorium
In memorium
Ad lib

Is a ghoul in fishnet tights
Witching hour
You shouldn't be out
Witching hour
There's bad girls about
Witching hour

You're too scared to turn around
You see a shadow upon the ground
Witching hour
You shouldn't be out
Witching hour
There's bad girls about
Witching hour
Run home to your bed
Witching hour
You heard what I said
Hear her calling
See her crawling
Feel her biting

It's way past midnight
Boots and chains in the moonlighgt
You wanna run. but not quite
Now she's squeezing hyour head tight!
Witching hour
You shouldn't be out

I'm gonna catch a ride to another world
I know I'm gonna find me another girl
There's a place I've heard, it's from a different age
And the girls all dress like Bettie Page.
Gonna hitch a ride to another world
To find another girl
Find another girl
I'm gonna jump a ride on a rocket ship
Why don't you come along and join the trip
There's a dozen girls for every guy
You're sure to find one who'll catch your eye
Gonna hitch a ride to another world
To find another girl
Find another girl
Yeah, I'm gonna find me another girl, baby
One who treats me right
I'm packing my bags and I'm on my way
There's a rocketship leaving this town today
I know it's bound for that place afar
Where the girls race round in flying cars
Gonna hitch a ride to another world
To find another girl
Find another girl
Alright

You're living in Space City, baby, and there's nothing I can do
The red light's on in your penthouse home and your eyes are inviting too
Eight miles high and falling baby, and there's no one to catch you
You're spiraling into depravity and you wanna take me too.
But I don't wanna see you 'round
I don't wanna see you 'round
I was lost but now I'm found now baby
And I don't wanna see you round
Your name means shame 'round our way, baby, your reputation's dirt
I've just gotta say these things to you but the truth is bound to hurt
You made your bed in the gutter baby and the rats all sniff 'round you
Your money might buy ya Gucci bags but when ya old whatch gonna do
But I don't wanna see you 'round
I don't wanna see you 'round
I was lost but now I'm found now baby
And I don't wanna see you round
I know you're heading for a fall
And I really don't care at all
There was a time I used to though
But that time seems so long ago
Now I don't wanna see you 'round
I don't wanna see you 'round
I was lost but now I'm found now baby
And I don't wanna see you round
You're living in Space City, there's nothing I can do
It's a pity, you're so pretty but you've moved on from sniffin' glue
Eight miles high and falling, baby, and no one to catch you
All purple haze and lipstick gloss and your ambtion's so see-through
But now I don't wanna see you 'round
I don't wanna see you 'round
I was lost but now I'm found now baby
And I don't wanna see you round

I'm a prehistoric monster from another time
Brought to the surface via an old tin mine
Suspended animation's really not much fun
But now my blood is melting and you'd better run!
Coz I'm Rawhead Rex
Yeah i'm Rawhead Rex
I'm Rawhead Rex
Well I'm Rawhead Rex with my monster sex!
I spent sixty million years in a block of ice
That kind of life's dull now I need some spice
I see a human being for the very first time
She looks pretty tasty, I wanna make her mine!
Coz I'm Rawhead Rex
Yeah i'm Rawhead Rex
I'm Rawhead Rex
Well I'm Rawhead Rex with my monster sex!
Lock up your daughters, get out your guns
This prehistoric monsta wantsta have some fun
I got ninety-six teeth in my razor smile
And when they see me coming they're gonna run a mile!
Coz I'm Rawhead Rex
Yeah i'm Rawhead Rex
I'm Rawhead Rex
Well I'm Rawhead Rex with my monster sex!
Yeah I'm Rawhead Rex
I'm Rawhead Rex
Coz I'm Rawhead Rex
Well I'm Rawhead Rex with my monster sex!

The Feline
05:03

|
She creeps through the shadows when the lights are low
You won't see her coming, you won't see her go
She's the Feline
Look into her green eyes, made to captivate
You'd better get off home, boy, before it's too late
She's the Feline
She's sleeps through the daytime 'til the sun goes down
Then she heads for the city lights for a night on the town
She's the Feline
I wanna find that feline, that elusive cat
Coz she looks like danger. and I like it like that
She's the Feline

The Morphics Peterborough, UK

Peterborough, UK.
The band consists of Andy Henderson (bass and vocals), Matt Piercy (guitar), Gary Lee (keyboard) and Miles Bunten (drums).
The band’s popularity was much increased after a song was featured at the end of the ‘No Dogs In Space’ podcast (Dead Kennedys - Episode 2).
