NoMeansNo - What Slayde Says Lyrics
================Slayde is my buddy, my pal, he is my brotherI am one, he is the otherWhen the sun shines, he is my shadowAnd when the moon is high, it's at his feet I lieBut I'll never listen to what Slayde saysI'll never listen to what Slayde saysSlayde's always talking, and it's rarely niceHe's always whispering his poisonous adviceHe is secretive, ruthless and coldHe mentions just enough and leaves the rest untoldHe said, "Don't ever risk an open attack, just smileInto their faces and then stab them in the back"But Slayde, I said, what about the weak,The helpless and the small?He just sneered and said, "***** 'em all, ***** 'em all"He said I am a murderer, although I've killed no oneYou talk in puzzles Slayde, I said, what have you really done?"I've cut the twining cord, I've shot the turtle dove,I've shut out that precious light that shines from above"Slayde, you are a poet, I saidBut what are you truly speaking of?He smiled and whispered, "I murdered love"He smiled and whispered, "I murdered love"I guess I hate him, no, that's not really trueHe's not completely bad, sometimes he'll crack a joke or twoI guess I've grown accustomed to his funny waysIt's not his fault that he was made that wayI hear him in my sleep, I see him in my dreamsI see him crouched before some terrible machineAnd then I face a mirror and he steps in betweenCan you tell me, what does this mean?Can you tell me, what does this mean?Now I lay me down to sleepAnd pray to God my soul to keepIf I should die before I wakeYou'll know I've made my escapeBut there is one step I'll never takeI'll never listen to what a Slayde says...(all songs written by NoMeansNo, 1988
