1.Soldiers Make Good Targets
What kind of place are we living now?
Watching wars live, via satellite
You carry a gun but no smoking inside
Escape disease yet I could get shot tonight
You
Shoot
You
Lose
The time has come and you're all alone
And you know you're not dreaming
It's heavens door, you're ringing on the bell
Will they let you in, or are you going to hell?
I'll take a war, I'll take mine with fries
Medium rare, wash a coke down with ice
Swallow it down no time to digest
What do you know, I'm feeling hungry again
You
Shoot
You
Lose
The time has come and you're all alone
And you know you're not dreaming
It's heavens door, you're ringing on the bell
Will they let you in or are you going to hell?
The time has come and you're all alone
And you know you're not dreaming
It's heavens door, you're ringing on the bell
Will they let you in or are you going to hell?
2.Pass The Buck
It's beautiful, I'm a fool
Tried to save you from the rainy days
Looking back down the track
I'm the one who carried all your weight
Yes you lie, all the time
And I dont believe you
Dodging blame, catching planes
Ride my tail to freedom
You dont know what it is you got
You dont know where you're going
You dont know what is right from wrong
All that you do is lie so
Just get out of my life
You're passing the buck again
Just hold up your hand and
Take it on the chin
Just get out you're lying again
Take the blame
Just get out of my life
And be a man
Look at you, what ya do?
My ears are burning from the tales you spin
Cracks me up, push your luck
Telling people all the lies you made
I'm the one who tried
Time and time again to please you
Forgetting me in misery
What did you ever give me back?
You dont know what it is you got
You dont know where you're going
You dont know what is right from wrong
All that you do is lie so
Just get out of my life
You're passing the buck again
Just hold up your hand and
Take it on the chin
Just get out you're lying again
Take the blame
Just get out of my life
And be a man
If you can
Hold up your hand
Understand
Just get out of my life
You're passing the buck again
Just hold up your hand and
Take it on the chin
Just get out you're lying again
Take the blame
Just get out of my life
And be a man
If you can
Hold up your hand
Understand
3.It Means Nothing
Did we lose ourselves again?
Did we take in what's been said?
Did we take the time to be,
all the things we said we'd be?
And we bury hopes in sand
And my future's in my hands
It means nothing
It means nothing
You can find yourself apart
But you leave in which one you want
Coz they love you all the same
They just go by different names
Did you fly your flag today?
Are you proud or just ashamed?
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
The sun sets in the sky
You're the apple of my eye
If the bomb goes off again
Blows my brain around the train
And I hope that I'm with you
Coz I wouldn't know what to do
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
It means nothing
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
If I haven't got you
4.Bank Holiday Monday
Woke up with the shakes on the bathroom floor
The sun is shining, I felt like drinking some more
Sunday's takeaway welded on my elvis tray
It's a pound a can in the garden all day
Start at noon, keep on going through til two
Dabbing speed like a monkey in a fucking zoo
Get your girl in the bathroom, after flirting all day
It's the time of your life on Bank Holiday Monday
Street Fighting
Yet some day
You get out
Out of those mondays
Yes some say
They were the best days
Out of our minds
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
8 O'clock time to catch the next bus to town
When the drink is in, the wit is most definitely out
Late bars, fight starts, between my brother and I
Get kicked out so we hold tight and take it outside
Dodging cars, new scars, fighting out on the road
Knees me in the chest my head and arse hits the floor
Swallowed tongue, what we done,
someone's hand in my mouth
Got to pull it back out on a Bank Holiday Monday
Street Fighting
Yet some day
You get out
Out of those mondays
Yes some say
They were the best days
Out of our minds
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
I want to stick him real hard with a kitchen knife
But we share the same bed in my mam's house tonight
I wait, I wait, I wait, until he walks up the lane
It's all the fun of the fair on Bank Holiday Monday
Street Fighting
Yet some day
You get out
Out of those mondays
Yes some say
They were the best days
Out of our minds
Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah Yeah
5.Daisy Lane
Outside it's summer, indoors it's cool
It's just after 3PM, I see kids leaving school
Policemen are walking, walking in lines
Tight side by side
A young boys died
15 years old, slow walking alone
They stole his phone, he never got home
Three boys in hoods
A warm summers day
Stuck him and killed him and then ran away
Now there's red spray paint splashed on the wall
RIP baby, we love you from all
Just that one moment, ended their days
Outside my house on Daisy Lane
6.Stone
I don't know why I let you go
You said you'd wait I said I'd hope you would
We talked 'til late until we walked away
What's meant to be will be they say
And I feel like stone
Yes I feel ice cold
I pick myself up from the ground
Sick to death of lying down
And now I have to find you once again
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
Driving round and round until it's dawn
To look for you in rooms we used to go
I held you back, I had to set you free
But now I know what's meant to be
And I feel like stone
Yes I feel ice cold
I pick myself up from the ground
Sick to death of lying down
And now I have to find you once again
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
You're in my soul
You're in my mind
But I don't know where you are now
7.My Friends
Stop tap drink back eye on you
You're out to find that something new
Am i the fly you want trapped in your web
I've seen that look a thousand times
Your innocence can make you blind
I can show you round a block or two
Let me introduce you to my friends
Let me buy you things, let me in your head
Let us fly away let this never end
My friend
My friend
Kick back think back look at you
You got the look you got the shoes
I'd like to fill your world and be with you
Your lust for life just turns me on
A star above that's shining on
Think i'd like to see the world like you
Let me introduce you to my friends
Let me buy you things, let me in your head
Let us fly away let this never end
My friend
My friend
Let me introduce you to my friends
Let me buy you things, let me in your head
Let us fly away let this never end
My friend
My friend
My friend
My friend
8.I Could Lose Ya
Click click then you hang the phone up
After talking late into the day light
Telling stories how we'd like to do it
The mind can be a playground if you use it
She could go down on me in a theatre
I'd stroke her head, look 'round over my shoulder
We'd get kicked out we'd walk along the pier
I'd try to get my hand under her jumper
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Drip drip the rain upon my window
Wanna lay down still and just be near you
Get the keys and take the Karmann Ghia
Along the coast to buy a couple of beers
She could dance and look across the water
Dream of ways to run away together
The sun sets and glows across the ocean
Shooting stars remind us that it feels good
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
If I choose to
Why would I wanna do that?
Yes I could lose ya
9.Bright Red Star
Mary is my bright red star
She caught the train
to work in the morning when she got up
And then she'd call me up,
just to wake me up
But she's alright
She's alright
Mary is my bright red star
She likes to look at the pink sky just
Before the day turns dark
And then she'd call me up,
just to wind me up
But she's alright
She's alright
Mary is my bright red star
She wears a hat in the sun,
pink nails and her bleach blonde locks
And then she'd call me up,
so we could meet up
But she's alright
She's alright
Mary is my bright red star
We just talk into the night
about nothing in particular
And then she'd hang it up,
until she'd wake me up
But she's alright
She's alright
She's alright
She's alright
10.Ladyluck
We're falling now, can't make it stop
Our arms are open for the things we want
But what we want we just can't have
What could've been but the timing's bad
Don't cry cry baby now
You're my my lady luck
We follow the signs to make us meet
Into the night, to places no-one sees
I never learned from looking back
You picked me up from off my back
But now it seems our time has passed
Don't cry cry baby now
You're my my lady luck
You picked me up right off my back
I've fallen down you brought me up
We shared the night
until the morning comes to take us
Back away to where, we chose to belong
But maybe we're wrong but we gotta be strong
There's too much to lose
And maybe we're fools, who knows
Who knows, who knows...
We follow the signs to make us meet
Into the night, to places no-one sees
11.Crush
We swapped our lines late last night
then we started talking truths till noon
Yeah noon
We fantasize of kidnap tie me up
and tease me in your boots
Yeah you
I like to feel the crush it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life than not,
it just feels right
And when the sun goes down
the moonlight paints the night
That's when the sleeping dog awakes and comes alive
I like to fight for the right
to light up a cigarette for you
Boo hoo
Although the timings not right,
my head spins around and 'round for you
Yeah you
I like to feel the crush it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life than not,
it just feels right
And when the sun goes down
the moonlight paints the night
That's when the sleeping dog awakes and comes alive
I like to feel the crush it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life than not,
it just feels right
And when the sun goes down
the moonlight paints the night
That's when the sleeping dog awakes and comes alive
Come back now
Come back now
Come back and stay
Don't go now
Don't go, don't ever go away
It's alright, it's alright,
it makes me feel alive
To have you in my life than not,
it just feels right
I'm alive
12.Drowning
I dont know why
I dont know what is wrong
Oh no
Is karma gonna get me?
At times that's all I see
It's not real
Wanna feel
Wanna feel, like I did before
Mornings I cant breathe
Wave crashes over me
And drowns me
Minds running rings around me
It takes me time to see
What is real?
Wanna feel
Wanna feel
Like I did before
Like I did before
Time changes things
Like I never thought
Like I never saw?
Time changes me
I'm like I never was
Oh no
I'm looking back to what I was
I've seen my face right on the floor
And I love you, being around
I say it again, I'm not fucking around
I've seen it before
I'll see it again
It's knocking my door
And it never pretends
I'm down on my knees
And I dont know where to go
to find my way back home
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
I'm drowning
