Revenge Of The Kill Toys (song)

This song was recorded during the OMAD recording sessions in 1995 and intended for the 12 track album . Similar to Future Kid, it depicts "children's toys coming to life and vengefully waging war on their owners for treating them like property." It was written after viewing the Dr. Who episode "The Celestial Toymaker" and a number of horror movies. It was scrapped along with Ray Pim during The Fourth World sessions to achieve a more "mature" sound. Currently, no recording is in circulation. (Thanks to Chloe Govan for the information)

Omad Demo Tape

After Kara's Flowers was discovered while playing the Malibu beach on January 1, 1995, they recorded a 12 track album with Omad Records. The tracks included the following in no particular order:

01. Future Kid
02. Revenge Of The Killer Toys
03. The Never Saga
04. Soap Disco
05. Captain Splendid
06. Sleepy Windbreaker
07. Myself
08. To Her With Love
09. Oliver
10. Ray Pim
11. Loving The Small Time
12. Pantry Queen

After John and Tommy (the record owners) realized that Kara's Flowers could achieve more success with support from a bigger label, they looked for record labels who would pick up the band, so the album (which was finished) was dropped. It is said to be "raw" and better than The Fourth World album itself. (Thanks to Chloe Govan for the information)

Heads Of Them (Lyrics) by Kara's Flowers

Laying on candles...
Fading night away...
Bottom scandals...
Fading night away...

One cymbal...
Heads of them...
One cymbal...
Heads of them...
One cymbal...
Heads of them...
One cymbal...
Heads of them...

(????????)...
Slipping the night away...
Flying to stairdom...
Trying on not to play...

One cymbal...
Heads of them...
One cymbal...
Heads of them... 
One cymbal...
Heads of them... 
One cymbal...
Heads on their heads...

One cymbal...
Heads of them...
One cymbal...

To All Kara's Flowers/Maroon 5 Fans Out There (Including Newbies)

If you could take one moment to read this, "Yeah, that would be great....". Me and a friend are in desperate search for completing the whole Kara's Flowers discography so that each and everyone of you including us can enjoy ourselves. However, we need the following songs to complete our discography;

• However Whatever
• Just Tell Me One Thing
• Give My Life
• Keep Your Head
• Creation
• Funky (If it exists...)
• If You Only Knew (Four Track Acosutic version)
• The Kid With Velvet Eyes (Four Track Acoustic version)
• The City Small
• It's U (M5 Song) 
• Revenge Of The Killer Toys
* Or any live version of any KF song that's not on YouTube.

(We already have;)
- The Fog
- Everyday Goodbyes
- We Are The Champions

Now getting these songs would be easy back in 1999 with Napster and everyone in contact, but with the coming of age and now-defunct emails, it's impossible to find these songs. But these songs were shares with other people....So I'm hoping that maybe those other people are reading this with the songs intact and ready for listening. I beg you please, help a brother out. I'm doing this for everyone. So help me out...thank you for taking the time to read this and have a wonderful day.

Chilly Winter (Lyrics) by Kara's Flowers

You have been gone for so long... 
Don't know if you're ever coming back... 
Who knows if you'll ever come around again?...

(Chorus) 
Baby, it's so cold...   
Where you are?...   
Another chilly winter in New York... 
Cold... 
Where you are?... 
Another chilly winter in New York... 

I get so hungry... 
But what I got is not enough...   
Don't got any money...   
No fancy car, no sexy scars... 
But I, I do have something...   
That you want...   
And I'd love you till I crumble to the ground... 

You have been gone for so long...   
Don't know if you're ever coming back...   
Who knows if you'll ever come around again?   

(Chorus) 
Baby, it's so cold... 
Where you are?...  
Another chilly winter in New York  
Cold... 
Where you are?... 
Another chilly winter in New York... 

You have been gone for so long...  
Don't know if you're ever coming back... 
Who knows if you'll ever come around again?... 

(Chorus) 
Baby, it's so cold... 
Where you are?.. 
Another chilly winter in New York... 
Cold... 
Where you are?... 
Another chilly winter in New York...

Locked Up (Pleasure Fucker) by Maroon 5

Hotter than the hesitation...
Was the way you looked around then...
Acting like some older women you moved in...
Pinned me to the ground I couldn't stop you..
Making my imagination jealous of...
A picture perfect situation...

(Chorus)
She has got me locked up tighter than I thought...
She's a quick licking pleasure sucker...
Hotter than a motherfucker!...
And she knows who she is...
And she gives me whatever I want...

I...retire to my room...
Think of her as my vacation from myself...
As she goes off with someone else...
I sit (here) alone in desperation...
Contemplating masturbation...
I lean back serious like a heart attack...

She has got me locked up tighter than I thought...
She's a quick licking pleasure sucker...
Hotter than a motherfucker!...
She has got me locked up tighter than I thought...
She's a quick licking pleasure sucker...
Hotter than a motherfucker!...

(Guitar Solo)

Ohhhh....
She has got me locked up tighter than I thought...
She's a quick licking pleasure sucker...
Hotter than a motherfucker...
And she knows who she is...
And she gives me whatever I want...

She has got me locked up tighter than I thought...
She's a quick licking pleasure sucker...
Hotter than a motherfucker...
And she knows who she is...
And she gives me whatever I want...

Stable (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Only doubt is survival...
Watch you play my friend...
I'll do defend...
And you can see what's next...
What is rain?..
Who knows?..

What can you hide?..
I can't condone myself...
What is right?..
I'll love myself...  
What is rain?..
Who knows?..

Only doubt is survival...
Watch you play my friend...
I'll do defend...    
And you can see what's next... 

What can you hide?..
I can't condone myself...
What is right?..
I'll love myself...   
And what is real?....
Who knows?....
Your emotion in a bottle (bottle)...

What is rain?...
Who knows?... 

 

Miner (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Choose my direction... 
Make me stern...
Which way do other miners go?..
That's your injection, strip my fur...
Will someone teach me why it's so?.. 

Where is my lesson?..
Give me faith...
Where will I really have a chance?..  
You'll choose the tension, yet it's mine...
Give me the time to fall upstairs...   
Choose my direction...
Make me stern... 
Which way do other miners go?...
 

 

Untitled (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

I'll speak onto the.... and your life has gone untitled...
And all the stairs lead to nothing...
I'll be what I please and I hate you so unrattled...
Before the space returns to something...

I speak to one man...
He tells me fortunes...
I speak my new bring...

I hope my love brings me no one...
Could this tore me?...
This way is simple, I know...
My heart speaks silently, to someone...
I couldn't be much in my door...

I speak to one man...
He tells me fortunes...
I speak my new bring...

You can find yourself...
And you can find your love estrange...
I need your focus so I look good...
And we can find your love estrange...
And I'll stay away...
Stay away forever...

Peeler (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Always the good one... 
Never my same thing...
Thinking of never...
Never the same thing...

(Chorus)
Screwing your future...
Time is your victim...
Killing your future...  
You have a doubt hand...

Faint and you're so clean...
Stop in the bed once...
Killing on love clean...
Begging you want some...

(Chorus)
Screwing your future...
Time is your victim...
Killing your future...  
You have a doubt hand...

(Faint singing)
Only the strong one...
Only the strong one...
Only the strong one...
Only the strong one...   
Only the strong one...
Only the strong one...
Only the strong one...
Only the strong one...

Dame Cabeza (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Who'll want me?...I'll use you... 
Can't you see?..
You have no clue...
Let's be one...
But just one... 

All I really want is your head...
All I really want is your head...

I'll forget you...
You don't know...
What I see...
Only ago...
Yeeeaaaahhh, I will...
Eeeeeeeat..myself...

All I really want is your head...
All I really want is your head...
All I really want is your head...
All I really want is your head...

You want me...

I'll use you...
Can't you see?...
You have no clue...

All I really want is your head...
All I really want is your head...
All I really want is your head...
All I really want is your head...

Genius (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Once upon a time when I met you...
Then I needed to be by your side...
Then you left me unwanted...
Then you looked at me like I abide...
Only down in survival... 
Here's what my girlfriend said to me...
"I didn't know what it meant then"...
But now waiting so frequent to me...   

(Chorus)
Who is genius in this scene?... 
I hear like a doll's never seen...
Just won't dance in a bow like a tree...
Just won't kneel and you'll see what is me... 

I don't care for the last time...
And there's nothing but tempt on your side...
You can cry all you want to...
But I won't be the patient one by...

(Chorus)
Who is genius in this scene?... 
I hear like a doll's never seen...
Just won't dance in a bow like a tree...
Just won't kneel and you'll see what is me...  

(Guitar Solo)







Once upon a time when I met you...
Then I needed to be by your side...
Then you left me unwanted...
Then you looked at me like I abide...
Who is genius in this scene?... 
I hear like a doll's never seen...
Just won't dance in a bow like a tree...
Just won't kneel and you'll see what is me...   
What was me....
What was me....
What was me....
What was me....

Clomb (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

Watch out for leather in my suitcase...
Clogging my waffle coliseum...
While ain't no bitch, you got you're own place...  
Forgot you're mine and I got pim... 

I feel the hate with you...
I feel the hate with you... 
I feel the hate with you...  
I feel the hate with you...

She's got my mother in a suitcase...
Forgot her while she's got so rich...
To late to meet my favorite new team...
Just know I know I ain't your pim...
  
I feel the hate with you..
I feel the hate with you...
I feel the hate with you...
I feel the hate with you...

Mental Mind Fuck (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

MENTAL MIND FUCK:
(Chorus)
I have nothing but a tandem I love...
Waiting for something that will blow my faith...
Who kinda (????) of selling through my better plane...
Stock food of love and hate...

I hate you...
Feel my stain...
Thinking of you...
With nothing...

You were to me a kind of stranger...
But can we find a better place?...
Always with someone to let tide round self-rain...
My loving finger tips the way...

Oh you let me cross your fingers...
I'll never love you the same...
You stare at time, it lingers...
Why don't they find your bad disgrace?...

(Chorus)
I have nothing but a tandem I love...
Waiting for something that will blow...
Who kinda (????) of selling through my better plane...
I'm stocking food of love and hate...

I hate you...
Feel my stain...
Thinking of you...
With nothing...

Oh you let me cross your fingers...
I'll never love you the same...
You stare at time, it lingers...
Why don't you find your bad disgrace?...

Ohhhhh.....
Ohhhhh.....
 
   
    

Leave A Message (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

(Band Argument)

I...hate the silence...
I...miss your face...
You...ain't to follow...
I...miss your face...

Just wait for the meaning...
For me to understand...
I'll wait forever...
Until you take my hand...

(Chorus)
This is Ryan...   
I'm not home...
Leave a message...   
I'll call you back...

I...hate not knowing...
When...I will feel...
You...make me something...
I'll...never heal...

Just wait for the meaning...
For me to understand...
I'll wait forever...
Until you take my hand...

(Chorus)
This is Ryan...   
I'm not home...
Leave a message...   
I'll call you back...

(Awesome guitar solo)

This is Ryan...   
I'm not home...
Leave a message...   
I'll call you right back...
I'll call you right back...
This is Ryan...
I'm not home...
Leave a message...   
I'll call you right back...
I'll call you right back...

Ray Pim (LYRICS) by Kara's Flowers

As I lay down on the table...Watching pewter go away...
Standing back with such a cable...
Took some time to where we stay...  

(Chorus)
Alone with myself..
Alone with myself... 
Stop to hell...
Bleeding hell..

(????), I was able...
And with that cost me so much food...
Starting over with a cable...
And I have to stay with who?...
  
(Chorus)
Alone myself..
Alone with myself... 
Stop to hell...
Bleeding hell...

We Like Digging Is Here!!!!!!!!!!!

We Like Digging is here thanks to David Manzo! It sounds amazing and lyrics should be up soon. I can't post the songs on here because that's my buddy's job. So prepare yourselves. 

Wow! Doing lyrics are a pain in the ***. I got most of Ray Pim lyrics wrong I think. It's like trying.....when you see those misheard lyric videos on YouTube, that's how I feel it is.
