so don't give me respect don't give me a piece of your preciousness
flaunt all she's got in our old neighbourhood
i'm sure she'll make a few friends
even the rain bows down let us pray as you cock-cock-cock your mane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you i can be cruel
i don't know why
why can't my ba.ll.oo.n stay up in a perfectly windy sky
i can be cruel i don't know why
dance with the sufi's celebrate your top ten in the charts of pain
lover brother bogenvilla my vine twists around your need
even the rain is sharp like today as you sh-sh-shock me sane
no cigarettes only peeled HAVANA'S for you i can be cruel

The US Cruel/Raspberry Swirl single features a remix of Cruel by Andy Gray and Albert Cabrera for One Rascal Procuctions Inc. The To Venus And Back: Still Orbiting album contains a live performance of Cruel, recorded during the Plugged '98 Tour.

"When you start talking to people who have that kind of loss, somebody piping up, going 'Well, the angels were there for us during this time.' Well, that's beautiful. But people have to understand that they're not there for everybody all the time. They get lost on the way. That's why in Cruel, when I say, 'I don't know why' I really don't know why the angels aren't there for everybody, but they're not."
