Wrapped in cling film, staying til the morning
Working in a shop off New Bond Street
Lived in your building high up on the ceiling
When she rushed the floorboards creaked
Lost in this town, haunting girl
Ur calling up my friends
Try to find out where I've been
I'm a holding, holding again
Gave money to the man he put a bag in my hand
Said son don't you understand
This isn't the way out this is the way in
Ur doubling ur troubling
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty eight
Millilitres down
Where you come from, where you at Jack
Is it the clothes, the bullet holes or the shit up your nose
That makes your body contort like that
Like a Denmark Street thief feeding the crack
They cut the paws off the boar for the fractured jaw
That was given to the government tax
Way back then when Maggie-aggie-aggie
Always made em sad but she never made em happy
I was lost, weak, bleak in the street
Knocked me off of my feet
Hanging round with the people I should never meet
I'll always believe that the air that we breathe
Will choke our lungs and clog up our arteries
And now, i'm down on my knees take it up on the police
Take it down for a man did a call the police
And Im up now, sitting in the gutter
Rolling back down if I had to cover upper
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Millilitres down
While the neighbours are swapping infections
Ken and Jimmy had a spin and went mad and got sectioned
I was outside trying to shotgun a ride off a guy
who like I has no sense of direction
Tension is building in a white heart pub
By the time we drove by the floor's covered in blood
Man next to me said oh, fucking much just throw them cunts
Fore I fell in love with a brunette rough neck
Fits like a glove, kept me back down
When I came back up
When my feet hit the ground man, I started to run
And since that day that's all that I've done
So if you ever see me, if the town falls down
Just start screaming as she steals off his crown
You know they'll be lost and I'll be found
Cause I'm three hundred and sixty eight down
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight,
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty eight
Millilitres down
It's the only way that you're getting out
If you hang around boys round here they'll bring you down
It's the only way that you're getting out
If you hang around boys round here they'll bring you down
It's the only way that you're getting out
If you hang around boys round here they'll bring you down
It's the only way that you're getting out
If you hang around boys round here they'll bring you down
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Millilitres down
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Three hundred, three hundred and sixty-eight
Millilitres down
2.Hocus Pocus
Bullets Flying over head,
hear them hrough the walls as you lie in bed,
know you're fighting for the one you love,
but this time son I'm telling you to run.
lost myself in things I shouldn't do,
came 2 years later to without you,
the things l've done and the things I've seen,
I've been so wrong to so many the team,
is all looking like they're all past up and away,
disowned from their homes and their families,
well I can't see myself in the dream,
the dream I saw was all round me got.
hocus pocus three men jokers,
barristers beast policemen thieves,
three queens and broken dreams,
a bottle full of trouble and a gambling fiend.
hocus pocus three men jokers,
barristers beast policemen thieves,
three queens and broken dreams,
a bottle full of trouble and a gambling fiend.
well the jokers looking over as he pulling an ace,
the militia take cover under my staircase,
witches in the kitchen bitching and itching,
while two old school friends haunt the hall ways,
the host proposed a toast all of the ghost,
and the ones that loved us the hearts we broke say,
I'll never make that promise again
once was enough to all around me got
hocus pocus three men jokers,
barristers beast policemen thieves,
three queens and broken dreams,
a bottle full of trouble and a gambling fiend.
hocus pocus three men jokers,
barristers beast policemen thieves,
three queens and broken dreams,
a bottle full of trouble and a gambling fiend.
as I came to I looked for you
in the cupboards and the drawers, and the toilet queue,
asked the medicine man it he had heard the news,
he told me I'd thrown you out last june,
grabbed the politician by the neck threatened to use,
fists in a fight to find out the truth,
he said you set the scene son everyday,
you can't blame the dammed for your own mistakes,
while the mason he was pacing in my living room.
emme had a child growing up in the womb.
I said I'm staying in I never felt like I left,
my last breath was taken in conjunction with
hocus pocus three men jokers,
barristers beast policemen thieves,
three queens and broken dreams,
a bottle full of trouble and a gambling fiend.

3.Sticks 'N' Stones
When there's no one left to fight
Boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town trying to finding trouble
When there's no one left to fight
Boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town trying to finding trouble
I took a train again away from shame and blame and city pain
To see a friend I haven't seen since I was drinking underage
I was a 10-a-day,how do you say, little shit
white lightning heightning on my courage, quick wit
We were thick as thieves and wannabes
Unbutton shirts and whisky
Mutton dressed as lamb
And fans of the bands like the Jam Jam Jam Jam
I dont know who I am
He said I don't know if I can
I said 'yeah,well you can can'
When there's no one left to fight
Boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town trying to finding trouble
When there's no one left to fight
Boys like him don't shine so bright
Soon as I see the dust settle
He's out on the town trying to finding trouble
Drunk off being sick, I feel like shit, I gotta quit
I hope I haven't missed the last train,I'll be stuck in Hampton
Wick
Well the boys across the platform shouting 'lightweight prick'
I'm a featherweight champion, cheap to get pissed
Wish Candy was here with me , well she'll deffa deal with it
Tell them all to 'shut their mouths' and go 'suck their mamma's
dicks'
But seeing as she ain't, oh no, three fingers down
And the other two up and i'll sing this proud
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
As I travel down the track, all my memories flood back
We were running at enemies, back to your mammas flat
It's the only place where at home, were I feel relexed enough to
crap
I know it sounds crude, but theres something in that
How's danny doing, hear he's out flying and that
Stock broker in the city with a lady and a baby
And Phe, is she free from the demands she had
Was it 2 months clean routine to relapse
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
She smoked all of your weed
Thats why the loved ones had to leave
When you take the lead,
they stab you in the back till you cant breathe
When you're bleeding on the floor,
no one hears your call at all
She screamed out to the party 'Sheeps and Cattle'
I was hanging out with Louy in the shooting gallery
When the news got through to me about you and Jeremy
Pat on the back and a swig of my brew
You're still my friend, it's impossible to hate you
Craddle to the grave, well we always misbehave
People let us down and then they rain on out parade
Girls we love leave when we want them to stay
Like today, remember what joey says
When theres no one left to fight
Boys like us dont shine so bring
Soon as I see the dust settle
Lets go out and find some trouble
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
Running with believers
No time for fever
And I haven't got time for you either
With ya sticks n stones
Sticks n stone
I take it home , on my own
4.The Man's Machine
This song is one of our first songs off the new album.
It's about punks, skins, straights.
I was walking along the street
Minding my own affair
Suddenly two policemen grabbed me
And I wasn't aware.
They said, 'Is your name Matey？'
I said, 'Why sure'.
He says, 'You're the punk
That I've been waiting for.
You're nicked'
Better the devil you know
Confess I guess I was the lesser of the two evils
Convalesce about the stress the test caused
Had me up and on the board,
Now I'm chairman of the board
I'm coming back for sequels
Do you ever really think you've won？
Now you're feeble
Nothing on this far-gone son
All these people
They're laughing at the shit I've done
I've sailed the seven seas to catch a breeze
and took it back home in a trunk
Met a matador who said it's my woman is more
Terrifying than any red bull that he saw
Set a sail set a rail
Met them Kings and Queens
There's so many trust
Just the amphetamines
Well her dream would've been
That the boy's got clean
That her father never got his heart
Caught up in the man's machine
Well it seems even if I got away
There's always a part of me willing to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
Check, check, check, check
1, 2, 3, kick
I met gods and monsters
Women from Wisconsin
Swimming in linen
With another
That's not their partner
Chicago be selfish drum
On my journey
I met Ernie
So he spoke like Al Capone got drunk
I'm a lover, I'm a brother, my son
I'm a traitor and I'm on the run
Watch 'em come
As she said
While she driving in her car
Getting drunker than the bar
She's been smacking hard shoulders
Since before she's legal
I'm a dragnet
Right on through the city of sin
It's the hard done bastards
Taking it in
Well I see what I say
Save it on the way
They can't sit bawling
But they're bawling away
Well she cries all her tears
But with all of her fears
Well she run away
She had a place
Now all they ever see is the fears
Take it as she's seen it
Get away
Well there's always a part of us
Willing to stay
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
So run, run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have also've told her
I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the
Man's Machine
Run boyo
Chase it to the border, border
Should have also've told her
I was cannon fodder
Would've if I could've screamed to her
Shout and holler
Then I could've saved the girl from the
Man's Machine
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Underground travelling
Overcast weather
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
All we've got to keep us together
Stone, glass, concrete and gravel
Maybe one day things'll get better
5.Emily's Heart
Bottle of wine, and an old 45,
rifle in the corner that her grandfather left her when he died,
Said no surprise,
I've had to use it quite a few times,
So Jay, don't you ever let us down,
Don't you ever,
I'll have to shoot you and no one will hear a sound
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground,
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down,
Now I'm dying, as a message to the town,
This what happens, if you fuck around,
So meddle if you want trouble,
trouble then you should meddle,
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
She said, get your coat, come on,
To the dog track with the money right,
Yeah we had some fun,
Left with more cause we won,
I was under investigation on suspicion of doing her wrong,
She said,
You've become a villain,
accused of a hit and run,
Said, she hit me first, and I,
say it's the worst that I ever felt,
In a broken heart.
Bloodstains on her shirt crease and,
hope she pays the dues,
When I left she said,
that your last breath
will be down by the station at 2,
Swear she shot me down.
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground,
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down,
Now I'm dying, as a message to the town,
This what happens, if you fuck around,
So whenever, you want trouble,
trouble then you should meddle,
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
She said I'm a user, and she's a loser with a gun,
I said if you choose to it becomes hard to include anyone,
So if you stay, put it away, or should I run？
She said I think you know the answer to your question,
So for the smiles, and all of the miles that the engine's done,
The further I drive away the closer we become,
So if I stay, would you put it away, and forgive this one son？
She said Jay I think you know the answer to your question
Bruised and bloody, I'm lying on the ground,
And I am aware that I let the poor girl down,
Now I'm dying, as a message to the town,
This what happens, if you fuck around,
So meddle if you want trouble,
trouble then you should meddle,
But don't ever meddle with Emily's heart
6.Chaka Demus
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
I see the lust inside your heart
And now I wanna touch the sky
Think with their head, argue with their gut
Draft if you leave the door open
It might encourage customers
That I wish the bar maid shut
Look like shit, down on my luck
Two world wars and one World Cup
Screamed by the desperate divided crutch
Used to have an empire, then we grew up
Lost everything, who gives a fuck？
Money in a jukebox, rocks all night
Same shit bands, too much hype
Everyone knows, everyone sees fights
Everyone drinks in the corner, right？
Everyone knows their C blood type
Sayin' we match and we matched up to that
I love her, she loves me, too
That's why we get together
A lot of people around here
Lost the whites in their eyes
See the lust inside your heart
And now I wanna touch the sky
He's dizzy for Lizzy, I'm dizzy generally
Scapegoated by a girl befriended me
Not that I care, it's the only use to me
She bounce off walls, through doors, she tend to be
Everything I wanna be and everything less
I stress this guess at the problem we stressed
Are you ever going to have me on your lone stallion spine
Show up, pleurisy
You're leaving alone but you came together
Who made the sun turn stormy weather？
Leaving alone but you came together
Just enough liquor shoulda made to met ya
A lot of people around here
Lost the white in their eyes
See the lust inside your heart
And don't wanna touch the sky
She said, 'Tonight Jay, I'm gonna teach them a ballad'
An Englishman in every coward
I was kind of impressed by the way she dressed
I've scoured this land to find a girl empowered
Asked her again why her heart turned sour
One of the ones that the boys devoured
If you're gonna learn a song, you gotta sing along
There's an Englishman in every coward
I got money in a jukebox, rocks all night
Same shit bands, too much hype
Everyone knows, everyone sees fights
Everyone drinks in the corner, right？
Everyone knows their C blood type
Sayin' we match and we matched up to that
Well, I love her, she lovin' me too
That's why we get together
A lot of people around here
Lost the white in their eyes
See the lust inside your heart
And now you wanna touch the sky
A lot of people around here
Lost the white in their eyes
See the lust inside your heart
And now I wanna touch the sky
7.Spider's Web
they think were fools sitting on the corner,
older you get the more like your father,
the more I drink the more like my brother,
seem to have picked up on a callus trait,
hate people who think there life is a drama,
making in jokes about americana,
amusing myself is worth it for the karma,
obama sounds like osama to me.
well my bedroom's watched by an intafada,
kids with bricks or strips in gaza,
point at me in my pyjamas,
laugh and scream get out of bed,
I say I am I got plans I'm meeting up with maltha,
I'm a shoulder she's robert palma,
acts like a twat but she's a top banana,
might as well admit she's addicted to love.
caught in a spiders web,
its' not the first time playing dead,
I see I saw lovers undercover,
no one found out until we left,
caught in a spiders web,
lt's not the first time playing dead,
they know something oh well we're running,
I know they'll catch up in the end.
you walked in last with a dirty barbour,
found me at the bar in fits of laughter,
said you've been seen out digging the past,
with arthur you'd rather just walk in the rain,
at a party with ash as they smash a pinata,
can I leave some stuff here for you to look after,
I'll be back around probably in the mid summer,
new york new york man I love the city.
caught in a spiders web,
its' not the first time playing dead,
I see I saw lovers undercover,
no one found out until we left,
caught in a spiders web,
It's not the first time playing dead,
they know something oh well we're running,
I know they'll catch up in the end.
In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel
and the rubble can you hear me call
In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel
and the rubble can you hear me call
well with a wheezing chest and a leaking ceiling,
baby next door screaming all evening,
the beatings we got and the ones we're seeking,
we're stubborn as fuck and I'm proud to say,
that me and ben skeleton mixed our own medicine,
never let a critic affect our direction,
barricade doors with out pale complexion,
program a beat bones I'll just keep telling them,
how selling them a brand is a band complication,
a man in a room with a survey for the station,
trying to get it on air no care tor creation,
I guess its all part of indoctrination.
In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel
and the rubble can you hear me call
In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel
and the rubble can you hear me call
caught in a spiders web,
its' not the first time playing dead,
I see I saw lovers undercover,
no one found out until we left,
caught in a spiders web,
It's not the first time playing dead,
they know something oh well we're running,
I know they'll catch up in the end.
In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel
and the rubble can you hear me call
In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel
and the rubble can you hear me call
In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel

In the hustle and the bustle I feel
I'm in trouble and I trip and then I stumble
I feel myself fall in the hustle and the bustle
It's too rough I tumble in the gravel

8.Castro Dies
Ya messing up my mind
You do it all the time
And that's why enemies enemies and lovers
Will never be friends of mine
Speak treat west
Like a stain on the chest
Of a while collar,
Why do I bother
Money love hates honour
Grates if I look, down I'm a goner
I'll end up working for the bbc as a runner,
Burning bills sloughed my fish wonder died of hunger
Friends stopped calling this time last summer.
I sit down sorrows and I start to sigh,
I gotta get there before Castro dies
Plight my guilt with highs
She smuggled with trouble in bubble wrap,
Up the gap strapped between her thighs
So surprised when you meet her
She seemed so shy
Considering she got balls that are twice the size,
Of you plus me plus the give me let me try,
Better buy them all cos they're in short supply,
So here's a conversation we can have when we fly
Got to get there before Castro dies
Ya messin' up my mind
You do it all the time
I just can't take the lies,
Boy ya just going down on a low,
I just can't take the lies,
Ya messin' up my mind
And that's why enemies enemies
and loves will be friends of mine
I have a lesson learned
Enemy burned
I'm saving up my bandages
A non believer turned can be the loyalist of advocates
On aggregate I'm smashing it
I'm lacking backing but trashing it
I'm slacking and jacking the chips ya stacking
And spending them all on sandwiches
You ask me how it's done
I just know how to handle it
See me through cynic critic scum
who think your branded packages
And if you wanna come,
you know what I'll be brandishing,
A speaker full of lyrics beats
and loops that I've been sampling
Ya messing up my mind
You do it all the time
And that's why enemies enemies and lovers
Will never be friends of mine
9.Earth,Wind And Fire
queens in the pocket girl in a locket say
boys wanna knock it other wanna rob it
I see when ya coming girl ya look stunning
running for the friends of mine,
well it's more for the power and the hour after hour
well he's itching for the powder one time,
well its' dear for the fire hate for the liar
living for the bass and beat,
close to the wire no one wanna hire
didn't want a working week,
well the ole town crier looks for a buyer
out there finding your feet
in dreams of schemes and drug filled friends
will be fine for someone to meet
I own earth wind and fire, it breeds the hunger
that keeps me on the road again
its earth wind and fire I don't own thunder
its owned by a love of mine
with a beat of the drum the made your head spun
see no hear no speak no son,
look like a gun held by the young
in a far gone land shooting everyone,
fee fee fi fi fo fo fum
is the package in the back becoming a problem,
fee fee fi fi fo fo fum
is the habit that ya have still fun,
counting on ya losses carrying crosses
looking at your face in the dirt,
travelling busses hiding from the rozzers
pretending that your extravert,
well the gil you accosted and then took hostage
escaped while you were at work,
after three years two days paranoid drug haze
couldn't stand to live a life of hurt
I own earth wind and fire, it breeds the hunger
that keeps me on the road again
its earth wind and fire I don't own thunder
its owned by a love of mine
with water blood and wine
she temps me back time after time,
well it's earth wind and fire
I don't own thunder, it's owned by a love of mine

with a BCG and a finger print scan
while the boys from Old Poland
work their fingers to the bone for the minimum

11.Jilly Armeen
Taking sides, planning a trip
No place like home if only I could afford it
Ticket to ride, connected by the hip
Surviving on the dabs of the dust in the pocket
Four minute mile, dressing down by your friend
You haven't seen in a while, all comes to a head
With just one smile to say what is said
She's light as a feather, I'm heavier than lead
You're useless to me, Jilly Armeen
Last time I ever sing a song for them
Using you under pseudonym, never again
You always went for my friends and not for me
Deep cuts and shards of glass
Broken bones in plaster cast
Hand on the shoulder, he starts to laugh
You don't hear planes when you live under the flight-path
You're useless to me, Jilly Armeen
Last time I ever sing a song for them
Using you under pseudonym, never again
You always went for my friends and not for me
You're useless to me, Jilly Armeen
Last time I ever sing a song for them
Using you under pseudonym, never again
You always went for my friends and not for me, yeah
