I didn't mean to be so overly demanding
I didn't mean to be so clinically mundane
The double beating in my heart has stopped responding
I think I mustered up a new kind of pain
CHORUS
Its a blast
Its another year of endless shame
Put the tick into the box and call out bingo
And join the singers in the pointless refrain
My name is on your lips in gobbledegook lingo
There's something niggling at the back of my brain
CHORUS

If you open up your arms
There's a vastness that engulfs me
And once the stormy weather calms
We'll throw down all our chains and stumble free
If a God looks down from high
I am nothing but a speck of dirt
It's moronic but I try
Please be patient as the bubble's burst
CHORUS
I've got nothing to do without you
I've got nothing to do at all
I've got nothing to do without you
I am bored after all

Itchy Trigger Finger

|
No I'm not tempting nothing
She's criminally insane
She smiled and pulled the trigger
And blew out some poor guy's brain
I wonder what she's thinking (crazy)
As she cruises to hell (hot dog)
Excuse me take a moment (faze me)
There's crooked tales to tell (in my blog)
CHORUS
Presented a signed confession
And it is written in blood
You know she's really not messing
As the bodies fall
Thud
She's got an itchy trigger finger
And you really shouldn't linger
She has a craving for violence
She likes to hear a guy squirm
So very quick to anger
So don't speak out of turn
I hope you're good at running (faster)
Cuz she's the greatest shot (hot dog)
I really couldn't be bothered (I'm plastered)
Oh give me all that you've got
CHORUS
No I'm not tempting nothing
She's criminally insane
I taste the blood I'm bleeding
I'm feeling severe pain
I wonder what she's thinking (crazy)
As she cruises to hell (hot dog)
So pretty like an angel (faze me)
Of death with tales to tell (in my blog)
CHORUS

Deviant

I've a handful of tricks and trinkets
A glint in the eye
Wind me up and power charge me
To watch me fly
And some of the things I've accomplished
I'd never admit
I'm wearing a target on my back
I'm covered in spit
CHORUS
I'm pasty
I'm a waste me
The quirky and the condemned
Reluctant
Redundant
The fast diminishing friend
Place the brick
Play the trick
The tower always falls
Be lenient
I'm a deviant
Who care who I've appalled
I'm play the good and bad card
I'm ugly as hell
Been rancid for so damn long now
I'm starting to smell
Tug on my horn or my tail
Fall back in the fire
Roll up roll up fair people
This deviants for hire
CHORUS

Life
04:52

You've got life - you blew it all
As a human insignificant you were heading for a fall
And when you fell - I had a smile
In all reality it is the first that I've had for some long while
And whose to blame - I did my time
I'd lay awake at night hearing every hour the clock chimed
And to be fair - don't want your touch
When I sit and think for long enough I never liked you much
CHORUS
Life just feels more rosy without you
Together life was not much at all
I'm tearing up photographs taken around you
I made a dodgy call
It never was much life at all
Its my life - I'm blind drunk
I'm swimming through a carpet full of mouldy food and junk
You stole my heart - Then stole my cash
Any love was only fleeting and was lost in a flash
I think I hurt - I've broken down
Awash with so much debt the best of swimmers would still drown
If I believed - in any God
I would thank him many times that I escaped all on my tod
CHORUS

Despite What You See
04:26
|

|
I have no preconception
And don't care what the reception
I've no bias and take it all on face value
If you're a dick you're a dick its final
Should be flushed down the urinal
Block my ears at all the wicked words you spew
CHORUS
Despite what you see we're the same as one another
Your dialogues extreme - its the script straight from hell
No bias - let it be - there's no need to run and take cover
You're playing an old theme and don't play it very well
Despite what you see we're the same as one another
The company I keep shouldn't matter much at all
The sexuality, what you worship or any colour
You're playing an old theme and quite frankly I'm appalled
I went out on a bender
With a gay and a transgender
It was just as good as any other night out
I'm not trying to be poetic
But your bigotry's pathetic
The hatred in the words you often spout
CHORUS

In a Frame
04:41
|

|
Oh who'd guess?
I'm a dwindling soul that still shines
I'm half dressed
I'm still trying to change with times
And I see him a wiser older man
Someone freed him and walked off hand in hand
CHORUS
There's something in a distant past
A name that's not a name
Its kind of like a picture in a frame
What's to see
When you look into the crystal ball
It's just me
Banging my head against the wall
And I see him the ageing process cruel
Someone freed him to go out and play the fool
CHORUS
Its in spite
And despite all that I may have wished
Its alright
There's already dirt out on my dish
And I see him a wiser older man
Someone freed him and its happening over again
CHORUS
