Rock n Roll Cliché 101
02:50
|

|
Please excuse the pitter-patter
Accept apologies for the hum drum
On and on
Are you ready to rock then New York?
Are you ready to clap and sing along?
On and on
CHORUS
But still he goes on, still he goes on
The Rock n Roll cliché 101
What's a punk without mohican?
What's a t-shirt without a Ramone?
I'm standing alone
I'm not comfortable with participation
Don't suppose the encore will be long
On and On
CHORUS

Bored Since '91
03:26
|

|
Well hey it's not fair what they say
I did not throw my whole life away
Over you, though our life seems so untrue
I do not feel any better about it
Not one bit, intent on having fun
But gave up soon after day one
Now I'm bored, bored of this whole world
And all that it unfurled as a joke
CHORUS
Honey pass the gun
I fear I'm having fun
Put a record on
Been bored since '91
My hairdo weighs a ton
The hair gel I put on
Where did my life go wrong?
Been bored since '91
Been bored since '91
I'm dressed so I can go get pissed
Forget the life I missed from the start
With a yawn I utter words forlorn
Like why ever was I born to be here?
Don't you fear it's not just any year
I think I'll grab a beer and be done
Oh what fun! I've been bored since '91
Oh hun, maybe even 92!
CHORUS

Scars
03:19
|

|
Not all scars are physical scars
But I wear my scars with pride
Though I'm burning up inside
What a surprise
I took a blow and I'm seeing stars
And I'm a star still in my mind
So please don't be so unkind
I still feel raw
CHORUS
However hard you try you'll never fix it
But I have come to terms so try not to jinx it
However hard you try you'll never fix it
But I am passable if only a little bit
You cut sharp but you could have cut more
I guess I felt like a good find
In those days you acted kind
Then lost the plot
Not all scars are physical scars
But I wear my scars with pride
Though my brain still feels a bit fried
You blew my mind
CHORUS

Music To Have Sex To
03:57
|
|||
|
What comes around's around
Accompanied by sound
The soundtrack to our lives
A comfort and disguise
CHORUS
Music that fills me with laughter
Music that reminds me of you
Music that themes our next chapter
Music that captures what we do
Music to have sex to
From cradle to the grave
A year for each soundwave
Remembered to the end
In loneliness a friend
CHORUS

I fell in love with a Vietnamese girl
Exotic words from the other side of the world
My head is dizzy, my life is a whirlwind
We haven't met yet but we've written each day since
CHORUS
I fell in love with a Vietnamese girl
Beautiful smile and her luxury curls
This fast romance that we're both part of
It won't be long until we make love
We met online on a dating website
We spoke all day and on into the night
I know already how both of us feel
I can't wait until I touch you for real
CHORUS
Our skin's together, our bodies entwined
That is the image I have in my mind
Our hands together, our lips start to touch
I want my Vietnamese girl so much
CHORUS

|
I'm like a teabag that's been brewing for hours
So strong, but it tastes wrong
Spit it out and pour the rest down the gutter
Your eyes full of pure "despise"
Doll me up and pass me around
And disappoint I may
I promise not to make a sound
Just keep your anger at bay
Hopefully
CHORUS
(Don't try to excite me)
You can't bleed what's already bled
You can't get inside my head
You can't bleed what's bled
I'm underweight and under fed
You can't get inside my head
My eyes are streaming like midsummer showers
Not planned and I feel less man
And if the tears go on they flow into rivers
I can't swim, let me drown within
Embarrassment of a fading day
I'm busy clutching a straw
I said I'd disappoint and I may
But its tough to avoid your claws
And your jaws
CHORUS
I'm skin and bones and all the goodness is lacking
Like I said, you can't bleed what's bled
CHORUS

Never Dead
03:46
|
|||
|
When was it undone?
I wanted to live long
The clock is sticking
But I cannot stop the time from ticking
I wanted so much
Hey ho lets have lunch
I won't eat too fast
Each meal feels like its the last
CHORUS
We're never dead, we're unaware
We're never shaking but we're truly scared
We're never dead, we're unaware
We're never making out we're unprepared
I've sort of achieved
That's a big relief
But I'm still grasping
To life with each breath that I'm gasping
CHORUS

Beauty Queen
02:27
|
|||
|
My baby is real good to me
So listen twice to what you believe
She's a show girl out of sorts
My baby is a sight for sore eyes
And she comes as a big surprise
Good sex but her head distorts
CHORUS
What I've done
What I've seen
Mutated beauty queen
My baby is real good to me
So I don't worry about the disease
I'm not scared to die anyway
My baby may be all blotched and scarred
But she covers her head in a bag
And she's the only girl I know
CHORUS

9. |
||||
|
In my eyes you all look quite the same
So shallow you hang on some mad freaks name
Multiply persona so extreme smudged black eye liner
But I feel a jealousy of sorts
In my football socks and football shorts
Championing the pop hits that I bought but never rated
CHORUS
Slated for the way you look
But you don't know real pain
Follow the mighty leader all the same
Little lambs in a long line
Trying to stand out all of the time
And in my eyes I know that that is fine but regimented
But in a strange alternative world
All the shit that in the past's been hurled
Will be aimed at Tshirt boys and girls
The misrepresented
CHORUS
