Roy On The Make Lyrics
a gloomy stroll, all alone
around the flagpole.
inclement plain,
salt is rain,
i'm a tiny temple.
little ropes of wire,
a copper spire,
and feigning bashful.
call it nonchalance,
a coquette's wand,
dissembling fool.
come out spark, and stop my heart
come out spark, and stop my heart
come out spark, and take my heart
come out spark, and stop my heart
a blistered bruise;
i'm contused
where you kissed me.
come in the window at home,
through the phone,
and the tv.
your stay so brief,
life is grief
and flashes of ecstasy.
is love and time on it fine?
nevermind...
it's mine it's mine it's fine
come out spark, and stop my heart
come out spark, and stop my heart
come out spark, and take my heart
come out spark, and stop my heart
around the flagpole.
inclement plain,
salt is rain,
i'm a tiny temple.
little ropes of wire,
a copper spire,
and feigning bashful.
call it nonchalance,
a coquette's wand,
dissembling fool.
come out spark, and stop my heart
come out spark, and take my heart
come out spark, and stop my heart
i'm contused
where you kissed me.
come in the window at home,
through the phone,
and the tv.
your stay so brief,
life is grief
and flashes of ecstasy.
is love and time on it fine?
nevermind...
it's mine it's mine it's fine
come out spark, and stop my heart
come out spark, and take my heart
come out spark, and stop my heart

I thought the one line "a coquette's wand" was "a coke-head's want". Like, the character in the story (real or imaginary), Roy, is begging for the lightning in the same way that a coke-head would be begging for coke, some irrational addiction.

But what I don't understand is if he's asking the lightning to kill him or to be in love with him. The "on the make" in the title suggests he's looking for love, but when...
But what I don't understand is if he's asking the lightning to kill him or to be in love with him. The "on the make" in the title suggests he's looking for love, but when he talks about "life is grief", it seems the other way. The phrase "stop my heart" could really mean either thing, I guess maybe it's meant to be ambiguous that way.
Really cool song.
thats pretty good man. its nice to see people still listening to this. i mean its still cool that this band is going strong long after its end. i have 3 songs 7inch and i will hopefully pass it on someday to show this hidden genre years from now. im pretty sure its coquettes wand. you can hear the "T" in his speech.
