This Song is About You 02:08
lyrics

I'm sure you'd never be bored 'cause what's to be bored with what we have It's pure, we play the same chord And what a great chord that makes me smile and laugh CHORUS I can hear you breathe when I wake at night Then I realise that I'm just dreaming But I feel a warmth from your body held tight This time I tell it true This song is about you I'm sure you'd never be bored 'cause what's to be bored with what we have There's no cure for the feeling you've stirred But please keep on stirring - I'm crush starved CHORUS

The Salty Taste of Victory 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Its the carnival of the crazies And all unfolding in different phases That sounds like an incite to riot The facts are simple so don't deny it CHORUS The worlds gone crazy or is it just me? I get the salty taste of victory Are so many people too blind to see? A somewhat salty taste of victory I'll put a gun up to your head in a minute Lets put a torch to the lot and just bin it Shouting and screaming and making a racket Lead me out the house in my straight jacket The saltiness makes me more thirsty I'm shaking each branch of the money tree Spend a lot achieve a little Leave the infrastructure brittle CHORUS

Whimsical Tales 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Written down, written in a foreign language Written wrong and do we really care? Been smitten long - excuse my ever expanding baggage Imagine hard and its not there Tell a tale, tell it like it really happened Sounding stale - its churned out many times And set to fail - I'm tired of all the fails I'm counting You can read it between the age lines CHORUS Oh bless you - And excuse my demeanour Oh bless you - Bless you like you're a God Oh bless you - Have you really seen her? The whimsical tales of those I need and want Caricature but not one for entertainment Like a chore but one I think I've won So give a yawn - I think I'm sensing some resemblance Imagine hard experience is fun Written down, I recognise the scrawl like writing Written wrong, well what should I expect? Smitten long - Excuse my ever expanding baggage Read my tale of woe and neglect CHORUS

I'm Not Average 02:25
lyrics

I'm not average in the way I write I'm not average in my thought I'm not average in achievements Though I'm pretty much self taught Do I sense a bit of jealousy When others don't have nought I am not average I'm not average with rhyming couplets I'm not average in what I know I'm not average in my singing voice And I'm not average down below Something's swelling more than my head Which still continues to grow I am not average I'm not average as a person I'm the second coming of Christ And thinking how I look I'm not average in my eyes And I certainly wouldn't be average If I was betwixt your thighs I am not average I'm not average I'm less than average with muscles I'd lose each and every fight I'm less than average at talking And I have diminishing sight I'm trying hard not to admit it But alas I think I might be less than average I'm average in my lifestyle And the way I style my hair And if you did pass by me It would be like I wasn't there I need some reassurance But you probably don't care that I am average I am average And I don't want to be average!! I'm not average at boasting I can cook the tastiest meal And if you had my lips upon you You'd sure like how I feel But I have a pulsating paranoia And its making me all ill I don't want to be average I don't want to be average!!!

Occasional Bars 03:41
lyrics

Hanging out in occasional bars And I'm not looking too far I believe Pass the jar oh I'll think I'll go far Drink it up in an hour or three Maybe I'm thirsty or just searching light relief Hahaha! Its a fun seminar Of the new drunken class with no teeth CHORUS People have no time People are fading into the past People have no time for me Must be time to be hitting the floor Don't remember at all, where's my coat? Mind the sick from that withered old chick Who taught me a cool trick of some note Maybe I'm thirsty or just searching light relief I want more, I have been here before I've got nothing at all underneath CHORUS Hanging out in occasional bars And I'm not looking too far I believe Pass the jar oh I'll think I'll go far Drink it up in an hour or three Maybe I'm thirsty or just searching light relief Hahaha! Its a fun seminar Of the new drunken class with no teeth CHORUS

Street Lights and Sunsets 03:34
lyrics
buy track
Coughing and sitting at the end of the world I thought it was round, but I'm trying hard to stay chilled Closing my eyes to get ready to drop Into the ether with no-one to shout out "stop" Something is flashing and catching my mind Sparkling and dazzling and turning me half blind The sun is coming out again today Look at the streetlights that guide all awake Hustling and bustling despite all the things at stake Heading to bed when the sun fades away Marking the end of another successful day Streetlights and sunsets defining my life The positives I grasp when negativity is rife The sun is coming out again tomorrow CHORUS We can be anything if we try hard enough We can be victory and who is left to judge? This sticky plaster's held it all for long enough The street lights and the sunsets that I love Self-certification - I prove who I am Nothing to do with the politics, all a sham Yes I'm aware but my heads in the clouds Never been one that inclined to follow the crowd Just need one thing and I'm talking about you A light in the darkness and that is the humble truth The sun is coming out again today CHORUS

Drown the Clown 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Wipe away the solitary tear and just embrace the truth The rampant tears of the narcissist who dictates the whole group Then realises all the flaws that humans all enjoy Whilst spitting on the homeless now that they are unemployed CHORUS There's no laughter Did you have to drown the clown? You didn't have to He was just fooling around and round the people go To find someone to blame A few embarrassing moments and some discredited fame He wasn't funny anyway you should have just sent him away "Thanks for coming over, but not today" Did I hear a chuckle or a moment of pure fun There are a growing handful with no time for anyone Which one is the master and which one is the clown? All the people pass and wave if you are going down CHORUS

The Man Who Cried Wolf 04:41
lyrics
buy track
Big surprise I really should have listened Before upsetting the few that remain At sunrise I'll re-evaluate my options Then do it all again The world is full of fakes and cheaters I've called them out so many times Its absurd packing punches with world beaters The seedy and the slimes CHORUS Life is testing and I've tested one and all Quite perplexing quite how many I've appalled Muscle flexing - acting big before I fall There's no proof I'm the man who cried wolf Did you hear the one about the fella That won big and was made for good? It was me! Well follow me forever I really think you should Your face, the features of an angel A glow surrounds you everywhere that you go Such grace but flashing red with danger Suspicious but don't know CHORUS

This Perversion Destroys Me 02:40
lyrics
buy track
I'm paying good tips to watch you wiggling your hips Believe me I'm dying, I wish you were mine Indiscriminate fun, trust me you are truly a stunner Where to begin, I'm lusting your skin Just watching you pose and seeing right through all your clothes Hump me to death, inhaling your breath Gagging for more but the closed signs hanging on your door The pants have come off there's no need to scoff CHORUS This perversion destroys me I'm peeking too much with so little touch This perversion destroys me Touching your shapes it probably gives you the creeps I spy from afar when your door's ajar I'm trying to work but I cannot help a sneaky look Ok it sounds rude but I made a fake nude CHORUS So scantily clad, you know you turned me on a tad I won't say it aloud, I'm not really proud Your thrusting behind is something always on my mind This ain't nothing new, besotted by you CHORUS

Diary of Drunkenness 03:44
lyrics
buy track
When you sit and write your memoirs on a page And you've lived your life like drama on a stage The people look up to you and don't see the scratches and scars When you're looking from afar CHORUS Thinking that I just want things, I want things the same Thinking that I just want things in short sharp timeframes Thinking that I just want things, I want things the same Thinking that I just want it plain [Want it / Need it / Treat it / Again] I could just pretend to follow like some sheep But there are things I've done that I would like to keep This is a diary now of drunkenness in bars When you're looking from afar CHORUS The people look up to you and don't see the scratches and scars When you're looking from afar CHORUS

The Least And Not The Most 04:02
lyrics
buy track
Mind abuse I have tried to break your world in two But what's the use? You've already made me look a fool Class reject I just hoped things would improve in time Course neglect This is nobody's fault but mine CHORUS Gained a death warrant Gained a smear on the bedpost Gained a death warrant But I warrant I've seen the least and not the most Spank the slave I've been building up to this for years Soul to save Though I do not have any super powers CHORUS

Out Of My League 02:54
lyrics
buy track
If I cut my finger on your doorstep I'd write a short love poem with my blood And if you answered likewise the next morning I'd get down on my knees and lap it up CHORUS [For how long] 'till all my features start to fade [For how long] 'till I'm all miserable and jaded [For how long] 'till I am stricken with fatigue [For how long] You've been out of my league for so long This could all be classed as an obsession This could all be deemed a big mistake But I'm ignoring all of my good practice You're an extra special cherry on the cake CHORUS Play the trumpets and give out a cheer I'm punching above my weight But there's silence and nobody here Excuse my choice of date She's late! CHORUS I feel a warmth and tingle when I see you Pulsating from my fingers to my toes I tell myself that I am worthy of you I'm not lying I just have an extending nose CHORUS
