A promise isn’t hard to say
But it’s hard to make, go away
It never came as a surprise
I could see the fear, behind your eyes
Oh My My My!
We’re all equal so you say
But you want more
In every way
The headlines came as no surprise
But we could see the fear, in your eyes
Oh My My My!
You’re a liar and a cheat
But now you’re in too deep
And we don’t really need to know
How low you can go

Is it true?
You’d like me to see you?
The way I always wanted to?
And if you do
I’ll do the things to you
You know you’ve always wanted to
And as the sun sets, I would know
You’ve booked a suite inside my soul
Throw away the key
There will never be a need for anyone in there but you and me
You know it’s true
I said, I feel you do

Lonely Since I Met Ya
03:16
|

I was lonely when I met you
I’m lonely now you’re gone
I lived my life, I didn’t even try
To build our happy home
I’ve been lonely since I met you
I’m lonely now we’re through
I rolled the dice
I paid the price
To make your dreams come true
Now every time I meet someone like you
You wouldn’t believe the things I thought I might do
Oh no no no no!
I’ve been lonely since you left me
Been lonely enough for two
You took my soul
You took it down below
Now it’s battered black and blue
I was lonely when I met you
Been lonely since you left
I’ll drink a toast to your holy ghost
As I take my dying breath

I saw it and I had to have it
Just another dirty habit
Rack ‘em out and I will dab it
I saw it and I had to have it
You put your hand in my pocket
Felt around for the packet
Palmed it & your fingers grabbed it
You saw it and you had to have it
Don’t even try to ask me why
I’ll tell you a lie
We pushed our way into the party
Up the stairs, double crafty
Lock the door and check it’s empty
Lay it out there to tempt me

Such Is Life
03:25

I wish I’d listened more when I was young
To good advice from friends who cared enough to see where I was going wrong
I wish I’d paid attention to the signs
That told me I was headed to a place I really wouldn’t wanna find
And now I understand
You learn by the mistakes you never plan
And what’s right for you
Might not be right for me
C’est la vie
I think it’s kinda funny in a way
Despite my worst intentions, everything would seem to be OK
And all the bullied kids I knew at school...
They’re raking in the money while the tough guys are still sitting on the dole
So now it’s time to raise a family
I’ll try to lead the way by learning what it is I should and shouldn’t say
And when they need advice
I guess I’ll say
Talk to mum cos she’s the one who saved your dear old daddy from going astray

Feeling Low
04:04
|

Give me something for the pain
To make me feel the same
In a different way
I’m running high but feeling low
My mind is saying yes, but my body says no
I know it makes no sense
But I need you too much, I guess
Oh no...
I can’t stop feeling low
I can’t stop letting go
Putting in the time
to make some sense of it all
You say I hurt you more
But I’m not really sure that you don’t enjoy it when we’re out of control
Oh no, I can’t stop feeling low
I like to think I’m in control
When I’m in your presence,
it’s all just a show
It’s just my fragile, foolish pride
Mentally, I need to take a breather sometimes

It’s cool to be nice
And it’s fun to be friendly
So stick out your tongue
Cos it’s wet and it’s bendy
We could be friends, it’s unfeasibly easy
Gimme a hug if you’re happy to see me
You’re pretty good looking
Take me down the alley baby
Lead me astray
It’s my buttons you’re pushing
And I think about you
Nearly all of the day
You’re pretty good looking
Take me down the alley baby
Lead me astray
It’s my buttons you’re pushing
I’m not here for you cooking
We’re only here for a matter of minutes
I can’t live without you
It’s pushing my limits
So don’t waste a second of what we’ve been given
Let’s get off our ass and get down with the living
It’s my buttons your pushing
I’m not here for you cooking
It’s my fish that you’re hooking
Cos you’re pretty good looking

Hey there, whaddya know?
I’ve danced myself into tomorrow
Hey man, where’s my Gin?
Now I feel it kicking in
Please don’t get me wrong
I got it going on!
Hey there whaddya know?
I might not come around tomorrow
Now I’m on my own
I can see there’s something wrong
Please don’t get me wrong
I got it going on!
Hey there, whaddya know?
I’m not here to beg or borrow
I’m just hanging on
To the place where I belong

Bottle In Me
05:23
|

She shuffles down the stairwell to her door
It isn’t much
But it’s what she calls home
Her special place, her solitary time zone
Where no one ever calls her anymore
How’d you like to come inside and see
What I’m like and what it’s like to be me?
Maybe you could ask me how I’ve been?
And if you’d like a drink then I can see If I’ve got the bottle in me
He fingers through another filthy book
Casts a glance, to catch a dirty look
His wife is sitting, she’s oblivious
Is this all the excitement that she’ll get?
If we talk for long enough
You’ll realise I’m not that tough
It’s just a mask that I wear
The cracks in life are deep and rough
They’ll drag you down and call your bluff

I was a firecracker
When I was younger...uh huh
I blew up on cue
I lost a friend or two
It’s been so long
Since I’ve been back home
It’s been so long
Since I’ve been back home
Don’t get me wrong
I’ve been alive since the day I was born
It doesn’t mean nothing
Can get me out of this place
I met this guy called Joe
Yeah he was trouble fo-sho!
High on self-esteem and personality
It’s been so long
Since I’ve been back home

Tongue Tied
05:53
|
|||
I see you
You see me
I don’t understand
It’s too hard to explain
But it feels unreal
I don’t want to get on by
I feel tongue tied
I saw you
Look straight through
I don’t understand it’s too hard to explain
I’m losing control of that part of my brain
It feels unreal
I don’t want to wake up now that you’re on mind
I feel tongue tied
I call out
You shut down
I circle around as you move out of reach
I’m clawing the air that you breathe when you speak
But I can’t get out
I don’t want to wake up, now that you’re on my mind
I feel tongue tied
