Intergalactic Salvation 03:37
lyrics
buy track
We don't need any encouragement We're a nation spent and an accident waiting to happen Suffer and bleed, if someone is watching As we are blotching our planet's destructing before our eyes CHORUS1 And the Gods have shifted focus Let the aliens choke us Intergalactic salvation from adoration What an occasion We've let ourselves down, no time left to frown As our pants turn brown from our fool around once too often Class of fools I'm feeling the blues Of all we will lose but it's no use we're out of time CHORUS2 And the Gods have shifted focus Beats a plague of locusts Intergalactic salvation from adoration What an occasion CHORUS1 and 2

An Insomniac's Anthem 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Didn't sleep a second yesterday Waking dream that wouldn't go away What an unwelcome anomaly I'm writing an insomniac's anthem My minds awake to ever pounding drums Awake so long I've written three whole songs CHORUS Accidentally awake the night away I count sheep to ten Accidentally awake the night away Accidentally awake the night until day It's too late by then Accidentally awake the night away Found a broken matchstick in my eye From the days when hours just flew by Somebody please just sing a lullaby Can't remember when I last passed out How beautiful it really must have felt It's hell of a curse that I've been dealt CHORUS

Imagining You're Naked (Creamy Version) 03:03
lyrics
buy track
Imagining you're naked - its only a dream But I'm seeing each detail - its boosting my self-esteem Imagining you naked - enjoying the view An elegant beauty oh what is a man to do CHORUS It's happening between us from under my eyelids My dreams are reality / fictional hybrids I celebrate just how damn good my whole life is Keep my libido at bay God no-one take my dreams away Imagining you're naked and beckoning me near I say I'm an animal but more shy than I first appear Imagine me naked - imagining my length I'm holding you tight with herculean strength CHORUS

You Stole My Girlfriend 03:02
lyrics
buy track
We'd been the best of friends since as long as I remember So many fond memories of the things we'd do But your betrayal really tampered with my temper You stole my girlfriend and now I hate you I cannot clear my head of visions of you together The thoughts I have of how I'd torture you You asked when I'd forgive and I spurted back "well, never You stole my girlfriend and now I hate you" My brain is cursed by your bodies entwined so pass another brew I need this liquor to help clear my mind Of you stealing my girlfriend and now I hate you She was so perfect, a proper little trophy girl Most definitely 'the one' and I always knew Each time I see you both there's buckets of abuse to hurl You stole my girlfriend and now I hate you This is no love song This is a wrong song The love hasn't gone It's just frowned upon

Tactical Fingers 04:43
lyrics
buy track
Assured need only remember a name and that's mine Because everyone else is just blind leading blind CHORUS Tactical fingers will point to the easy way out Practically guiding our way to achieve what they spout Poised my own fingers to salute in the style of the lout Excuse me, I'm bailing out There's a fly floating in my half full glass I contemplated a swig but I think that I'll pass CHORUS It's apocalypse and the sky grows black I feel your pain but I'm alright Jack CHORUS

Pen Friend 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Guessing my luck has soured and turned weird Rubbing the lamp and the genie disappeared Funny direction life has gone and steered CHORUS Can't pretend. Done again. Only wanted a pen friend I'm a life invader I'm a noise creator I haven't been around much lately Afraid I didn't rate ya But I couldn't hate ya I haven't been around much lately That penetrating klaxon burst my ear No matter what you're saying I can't hear Why don't you just take the hint and disappear? CHORUS Another name I am scratching off my list Its true my humility doesn't exist We only spoke once and barely even kissed CHORUS

My Name is Kill 04:20
lyrics
buy track
Pick it up - its a source of excitement Pick it up - its a challenge and thrill Bitch it up - I'm due to pay up my resentment Shoot it up - back of the head like Wild Bill CHORUS She said "What do you do for a living" I said "My name is Kill" "That doesn't sound very forgiving" "My name is Kill" Turn a blind eye for the grieving My name is Kill and I will Pick it up - I'm moving at pace guys Pick it up - I'm working my way through this list Bitch it up - crippled with pain and half paralysed Shoot it up - half of them shouldn't exist CHORUS Pick it up - is it a game or adventure? Pick it up - picking disease ridden scabs Bitch it up - what of the money I lent ya? Shoot it up - leave the tally on my tabs CHORUS

Imagining you're naked - its only a dream But I'm seeing each detail - its boosting my self-esteem Imagining you naked - enjoying the view An elegant beauty oh what is a man to do CHORUS It's happening between us from under my eyelids My dreams are reality / fictional hybrids I celebrate just how damn good my whole life is Keep my libido at bay God no-one take my dreams away Imagining you're naked and beckoning me near I say I'm an animal but more shy than I first appear Imagine me naked - imagining my length I'm holding you tight with herculean strength CHORUS

Sweat Stained Shroud 04:21
lyrics
buy track
Can't trust people they are rotten inside Can't trust people - all our brains are long fried CHORUS Terrible scheduling freed from the zoo A caricature of you Spurious meddling and "how do you do" I'm sorry if I am rude To busy fiddling and cussing some too More blind than old Magoo Watching the carnival parting the crowd Watching the carnival in my sweat stained shroud Can't trust preachers, they just speak from the book Can't trust teachers - they are paid to not give a fuck CHORUS Can't trust lovers - they always let you down Can't trust others - I'm better with no-one around CHORUS

Out of the Blue Sky 04:08
lyrics
buy track
Eureka moment! A bright idea So challenging in these times Well full steam ahead as the coast looks clear Out of reality Loosening mentality Its going to be a long year CHORUS Out of the blue sky and into the red Out of the blue sky and into the red The rain is teaming The people screaming The pilots off his head Out of the blue sky and into the red Well the history books curse on many a name Yet morality isn't a crime I'll remember you as society's stain Out of reality Loosening mentality Its going to be a long year CHORUS

Big Shoes 03:09
lyrics
buy track
I wandered close I wandered far I always end up in a bar somehow Drunkenly stare up to your star Where you are I sometimes acted like a clown I cheer you up when you are down and out I'm not worthy to hang around By your frown CHORUS Big shoes, they're virtually boots Increasingly big to fill Big shoes are kicking me against my will Do not believe all that you're told I am a thousand years old or so The rumours sold and sold and sold Tenfold Look me straight into the eye And watch the thousand years fly by so fast I am the greatest, so says I I don't lie CHORUS Those things that you can't do I can I'm an extraordinary man its said I got a social media ban For my spam I'm legendary I am renowned I sniff out success like a hound dog My memoirs they cost a pound And gold bound CHORUS

This is about the simple art that is the pop song. But drenched in indie fuzz.
