I can use any name that I want to I can drink anything and its fun to I've got hell of a mess left to undo All the hypocrites have already spoken I've no idea what they've been smoking But its a blazing fire that they're stoking CHORUS Look at the camera and say cheese All the negative eruptions Dribble sap and then hide in the trees All the negative eruptions And the negatives rub off on me All the fake praise and fake sympathy Hold your head up high and freeze All the negative eruptions So the horse has already bolted I've a book of my faults that I've noted Its a nugget of shit that's been coated I can use any name that I want to I've got hell of a mess left to undo I can drink if I want to CHORUS

I jot essentials down - I couldn't miss it I think you want me ungowned - your text's implicit I may have simplified and truly pissed it Do not forget I can be totally explicit CHORUS I Will love you 'till I'm famous And I will love you 'till your beauty fades Cuz love forever is just dangerous Its bitter and contagious Are you listening now? I hear a dialling tone I've wasted many hours fondling a spurned bone Try again tomorrow and my number will be unknown I really cant be bothered to even class you friend-zoned CHORUS Touch me here, touch me there, I felt a tingle But don't touch for too long I very rarely mingle I like the accent but don't understand the lingo Lets just get on with it, I'm happy staying single CHORUS
3.
Calm yourself down my lover I'm changing Its degrading I know I planned it I turned the corner or am I imagining? You're badgering I'm growing and knowing CHORUS If there's nothing going down and there's nothing to it You're forever going down - I've a bruise to show it In your velvet dressing gown there's a chance to prove it I'm forever picky I choose death by hickey Pass the balaclava - I'm covering Recovering I don't know who saw it Well hello fair maid it is hurting I'm flirting Did you guess all the rest? CHORUS Turn the camera off I'm behaving Face saving And no-one should see that My cup of tea has gone cold and I'm cursing Rehearsing My complaint. Much restraint CHORUS
4.
Nothing much matters My life is in tatters Shit splatters on all of the back chatters Luck is down, people frown I'm talked about from town to town For things to be easy I could try see what they see But I'm lazy, I'll just defrock and charge free Hold your breath, take what's left Then take a guess at what comes next CHORUS I want to run into the sea naked for effect and for fun I want to run into the sea to forget troubles and be gone It's cold but I'm smiling Should have done this a while ago I told you so - I always knew my mind would go Its just a whim when things get grim I only wish I'd learnt to swim CHORUS

Better Days 04:10
Could you forget a mistake or two? Are they compliments to you? I've never felt so bad so many times I wish we could project our thoughts by minds CHORUS There were better days Were you afraid of me? Afraid of the way I turned to stone Were you aware of it? Aware of how I danced so merrily Were you much stronger then? Because now it seems you try to hide away Were you afraid of me? Well forgive me I'm a clown Those journeys seems so long ago And now far too many people know The daily game will be played again I know that I'd be happy if we spoke as friends CHORUS
6.
Half of what I say is fantasy Nay more than half - look at my graph Analyse the line - we are doing just fine Of course I'm not lying CHORUS I abuse my powers From my lofty towers In the castle of promises We talk out of our orifices And we talk for hours and hours The picture you shot and the revelations you got They are not me, most probably Look over there! Oh my what a pair! The outlook is fair CHORUS
7.
Nic, Nicky, Nicola By which name are you known-a You cannot fault my hunger If I was a few years younger..... I'd write a poem, call out your name The first one that entered my brain The wrong tag could offend ya And most probably I would With a name like Jan you've two shots And Janice isn't used much Sally would be perfect 'Cause the whole name would stay intact But its fair to say that it is true You could just use the first syllable So perhaps my little quandary Is not so unique to me Nic, Nicky, Nicola I'd like to invite you over But how can I approach you Without knowing which name to use It would make no soap, no serial The whole thing may sound trivial But I doubt you adopt the moniker I heard used by your mother
