TRIUMPH OF THE WILL
❝ It was a thing I had to do
It was a message from below
It was a messy situation
It was desire for a girl
I’m not a wanker or a banker
I’m not afraid to take a risk
It is the thing females ask for
When they convey the opposite
Before I die, before I die
Before I die I’ll get another piece of pie
I’ll get another piece of pie
I’ll get another piece of pie if I have to lie
It was a thing I had to do
It was a message from below
It was a messy situation
It was a triumph of the will
Before I die, before I die
Before I die I’ll get another piece of pie
I’ll get another piece of pie
I’ll get another piece of pie if I have to lie
When the well cries out for water
It is a need that must be filled
It goes beyond the laws of nature
It takes a triumph of the will ❞

STRANGE PURSUIT
❝ Intersecting love lines, drew us closer every day
Always kept your distance when you felt my presence near you
Love keeps on rolling over
You’d fly in retreat, I would follow without shame
A stupid spud staggering to the flame
To be had and rehad an innocent victim of the pain
Now it’s strange
It’s a strange (it’s strange pursuit)
(It’s a strange pursuit)
(It’s a strange pursuit)
I come running like the fat boy in lead shoes
Like the fat boy I’m huff puffing after you
It’s hopeless to hope for the one thing that I’m wanting
‘Cause it’s strange (it’s a bit strange)
Darling I’m dazzled but you know I’m too frazzled (it’s a strange pursuit)
I’ve taken my mind apart and lost some of the pieces (it’s a strange pursuit)
It never gets tough when you’re gettin’ real rough (it’s a strange pursuit)
Darling I’m dazzled but you know I’m too frazzled (it’s a strange pursuit)
I’ve taken my mind apart and lost some of the pieces (it’s a strange pursuit) ❞
