Grinspoon Guide To Better Living Lyrics
1.Bad Funk Stripe

I'm a small portion of the sampled origin
Seems like your kickin it back to the policemen
I need a breath of fresh air
So we can clear the air
Importance for your labels

Kick the flipper on the goldmark twilight
Kick the flipper so i can see my light
I screamed hooray for flashing bad funk stripe
Screamed hooray for flashing bad funk stripe

Bad funk stripe

Bad vibes from the slide tribe seems
You got your wires crossed when you tried to fix the toasted
But the boasting felt like karate
Rolled with the punches and a blow up vercace
We really need gravel rash
Step on the gas
Give all the hash
Rollin up, pretty smashed
Step on the gas we all need gravel

I screamed hooray
For i'm flashing back funk stripe
Bad funk stripe

Well there's a crazy situation on the seventh floor
I'm in an argument forever with the lady in the down stairs

Left operator lift me up better
I know you do it well
Cos i've seen you when your in the rain
And your pain won't go back
Cos i know it

You try everything to tell me that you know it
You know, i know, you know
A bad funk stripe


2.Black Friday

Money was a never ending object
For you from the start
Picture of, another fucking christian
That you just call god

Typical, chemical

You want a black friday
Electrical, subliminal
What you want?
You want a black friday

Could you be another fucking liar
That i'll ever knew

Staring at the guys after
School watching you

Typical, chemical
What you want?
You want a black friday
Subliminal, electrical
What you want?
You want a black friday
Yeah you want a black friday
Yeah
Yeah

Yeah!!!!


3.Boundary

I've got a trademark
For registration
So get your gold card
And make me happy

I lost my brother
He was a good man
I'm sure the others
Will throw the ball in

Boundary

You tried to stop them
But they kept going
Penalty victim
For boundary throw in
Don't bother me cos
I never smoke that
I'm sure the others
Had an abortion

You got a trademark for registration
So get your gold card
And lets be happy

I'm contradicted
You said it's over
But i won't listen

4.Champion

So you wanna be a champion!

Let's not beat around the bush
I got my hands in the air
With my head down look
Disease please pay phone the back of my car
Automatic teller
Man your gonna go far
Man your gonna go far

Flacid the best in the world
Apology glitter for the flitter with the punk girl
God knows you like it
We all know about you sucker

Man your gonna go far

Your world champion now

Champion, champion

You wanna champion or be a homeboy
I'm a macho fucking number one champion
You want a champion or be a homeboy
Macho fucking number one champion
You want champion
Or be a homeboy
I'm so sorry!


5.More Than You Are

Were you neurotic as a child?
Did they come around and watch your style?
Did you have plans to be a star?
Did you have plans to become more than you are?

Maybe rock was in your dreams
Maybe being there was far too obscene
Swing it high and swing it low
Swing it anytime where you wanna go

More than you are
More than you are
More than you are now
I'm more than you are
More than you are
More than you are now

Yeah
Alright, yeah yeah yeah
Alright

Were you neurotic as a child?
Did they come around and watch your style?
Did you have plans to be a star?
Did you have plans to become more than you are?

More than you are
More than you are
More than you are now
I'm more than you are
More than you are
More than you are now


6.Nbt

Your suffocating me
Political ex bullshit
I can't stay in the room
With electricity on

Next big thing i do your thing
If it gets me what i want
Next big thing your song i'll sing
Next big thing

Yeah, thank god for sanctuary
Permission put me in a cage
Drop more money in
I'm dancing like a puppet

Next big thing i do your thing
If it gets me what i want
Next big thing your song i'll sing
Next big thing

Salmonella why?

Your suffocating me
Political ex bullshit
I can't stay in the room
With electricity on

Next big thing i do your thing
If it gets me what i want
Next big thing your song i'll sing
Next big thing


7.Pedestrian

Birthday party
Candles lit out back
Controlled distaste
Watch left, right hit run

Pedestrian
Pedestrian
Pedestree, pedestrian x 3

Tombstone graveyard
Blackest day i know
Wedding funeral
Parade of sorrow

Pedestrian
Pedestrian
Pedestree, pedestrian x 3

Pedestreeee!
Yah
Yah

Happy birthday
Sorry but the cake is gone
Pissed at breakfast
Betrayed holy one

Pedestrian
Pedestrian
Pedestree, pedestrian x 3


8.Post Enebriated Anxiety

Looks like dem baddies got bloated
Blinking big red sticking ball
Your hunting over exposure
I'm doing nothing at all

I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit

I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit

Eye needle bit
Eye needle bit
Give me a hit

Slack me a laxative donor
My white teeth work chemistry
That dog can bark all it want's to
I needle bit can't you see?

I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit

I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit

Eye needle bit
Eye needle bit
Give me a hit

I need a hit
Is it worth it? just a little bit, little bit, little bit

'what are we trying to do?
We say that we aim to develop imagination
And flexibility of mind's, this may sound arrogant
Parents may have to make sacrifices
This might well be true'

Yeah i need a little bit, a little bit, a little bit
Yeah i need a little bit, a little bit, a little bit
Eye needle bit
Eye needle bit
Give me a hit!


9.Pressure Tested 1984

Pressure tested 1984
Orange flavor that i can't ignore
Ignore
Ignore

Sheperds restless, waiting in the barn
Could you consume, if i was around your town
It's not your doubt
Don't tell me that

I can't ignore it
I can't ignore it
I can't ignore it
I can't ignore it

Pressure tested (x15)


10.Railrider

Something out of nowhere
Like a bullet from a gun
Old railrider, riding in the sun

And you preach like a jesus
But you act like a man
All the lies your teaching
Lend another one's hand

Old railrider
Old railride

Get your bed un made
With a jokers grin
And i saw you knocking
But i couldn't get in with the
Door locked

Oh god you look fantastic
Time's never been so drastic
Work nights for a fucking piece of plastic

Old railrider
Old railrider
Can't get much higher
Old rail

It's what you get when you love like a hypocrite
And the blood's on your hand
But you can't see shit
It's what you get
When you look like a hypocrite
Already, quit it

It's what you get when you love like a hypocrite
And the blood's on your hand
But you can't see shit
It's what you get
When you look like a hypocrite

Something out of somewhere
Like a bullet from a gun
Old railrider, riding in the sun

And you preach like a jesus
But you act like a man
All the lies you teaching
Lend another one's hand

Old railrider
Old railrider
Can't get much higher
Old rail


11.Repeat

She looked so pretty, pity, perfect stranger
Sold connections for the buy in major
Lobby fucking with the bird board terf board
Need a licence to observe
And i swear they'd never lie
Just shows how much that

She goes, she goes, she goes
Round round round round
She goes, she goes

Ugly race day and a rain face loser
Printing money on parole beats loser
Your hands stuck in your pocket
Digress, confess you offered
But you burnt the house down
Just like the movies

She goes, she goes, she goes round and round
She goes, she goes, yeah

Pretty past you forgot my story
Lost a kitten on the road to glory
I know i could have been there
But i wasn't so it does'nt matter
Patch me another line
We'll laugh about it

He knows, he knows, he knows nothing now
He knows, he knows, he knows nothing now
Seagulls, seagulls, seagulls fly around
She knows, she goes, yeah


12.Scalped

Urge those working, with such machinery
To keep their hair tied back
Contained in hair nets or cut short

Fit and happy, he was healthy at 71kgs
Indoor cricket
Scarring marvel, effect of some drugs
Vivid, deadly
Photo, paper
Training for living
Still giving plastic bag account
So can you work it out?

Urge those working, with such machinery
To keep their hair tied back
Contained in hair nets or cut short


13.Sickfest

You can't try and sink your thoughts into my brain
Contradict, you've always been too lame
Guilt has always found you hiding away
Wallow in your pity

You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you

Train your mind to believe
All that you say
Stab yourself so he will turn in today today
Ben and frank, bliss isn't what you prayed
Don't you ever say what matters

You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you

Break you down, yeah i'm breaking you down
Your broken down

Crave me!

You can't try and sink your thoughts into my brain
Contradict, you've always been too lame
Guilt has always found you hiding away
Wallow in your pity

You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you
You make sick
I make you
Every time i see you i break you


14.Truk

Do you need a truck like i need a fuck?
Bring in lots of love, serve it up above
I like buttered buns, she gives me not for wrong
Let's her fight the vick, you fucking point the pick ???

This universal area wants you
Tried hard, annoyed, i know you were
Your such a sinister being
Will you come round again?

Yeah! yeah! yeah!

Rather point the pick, than go and hit the brake
Driver dont you know, she treats me everyday ???
Driver don't do that, because i'm to sad ???
Because i need a match, to kill an animal

Your disappointed and you were'nt the best
Rodger a man alone with you now ???
Your such a sinister being
Will you come round again?

Yeah! yeah! yeah!

All of the cunt's that run around in this
They do their dance until they're older
I'd need the money if i was a widow
Your a wanker
Your such a sinister being
Will you come round again ?
Your a sinister

Yeah! yeah! yeah!
