1.Mirrorman
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
They say the city never sleeps
But I still feel alone before the dawn
Between success and human sacrifice
A fine line not meant for man or god
And there's tension in the air, cut without a reason
A mirroman hanging from the ceiling
My own reflection tells me don't look down
And I've been hanging on for a bit too long
'Cause I'm drawn to this feeling
Like a fly to a light bulb
A fool to the ages caught in a cruel sun
I'm drawn to this feeling like a fly to a light bulb
And I've been hanging on just a bit too long
They say that everybody's got a right
I feel so lost, they must be wrong
Between the morning and her sleeping eyes
I'm dancing blindly through the smog
'Cause I'm drawn to this feeling
Like a fly to a light bulb
A fool of the ages caught in a cruel sun
I'm drawn to this feeling like a fly to a light bulb
And I've been hanging on just a bit too long
2.Studio Suffering
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
Everybody's got their problems
Like a TV cross to bear
And no network way to solve them
Life can truly be unfair
I swear I've seen this episode before
Studio suffering
Crying for the camera
Dying for the camera
Studio suffering, oh no
As the world turns on misfortune
Crowds form to feign the shame
All eyes tune in to the torment
But refuse to take the blame
I swear I've seen this episode before
But I don't think I need to see no more
Studio suffering
Crying for the camera
Dying for the camera
Studio suffering, oh no
Studio suffering
Crying for the camera
Dying for the camera
Studio suffering, oh no
3.Start The Violence
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Rich Jones
We're sick of starving
We're sick of being snubbed
Gave up on love
'Cause we've been hurt enough
We're just trying to make our way
But there's too many obstacles in our way
That there ain't no other way
We're just trying to break through
But the wall's so goddamn thick
That talking just won't do
And I say
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
The little voices they keep on calling us
The record states, it's time to turn it up
We're just trying to make our way
We keep meeting problems face to face
And there ain't no other way
We're just trying to break through
But you're all so goddamn thick
That talking just won't do
And I say
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
Baby, what's the deal
Whoa no, start the violence
4.Capt. Moody
Lyricist:Matt Camirand, Billy Holtby
These tides are the best I've known
Never knowing, where they come
Where they go
Drinking all the time
Never knowing, if I'm sick
Or if I'm feeling fine
Sometimes they drag me down below
But even then, I never let it show
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown
Yeah, girls, I've sailed a few
I've faced the toughest storms alive
And I pulled through
Like pirates in modern times
Taking gold, booze and tattoos
And any friends, I find
Sometimes I feel like Davey Jones
But even then I never get so low
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
I'm drifting on my own
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
I'm drifting on my own
Man overboard
Overthrown
Like a drunk at sea
Or a king without a home
Man overboard
Overthrown
5.Underground
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Rich Jones
It's nothing you can wear
Fascist anti fashion jades me
No one's running scared
I wanna smash the mold that made me
Somehow, I think it's all gone wrong
'Cause now I find myself in a world where I belong
And I won't be staying long
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
No, the underground, ain't underground no more
And I don't know what's in store
Just to me, we all look bored
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
There's nothing left to prove
Everybody's nuts and bleeding
My pain has been abused
It sounds the same but it's lost the feeling
Somehow I think we lost our way
'Cause now I find myself in a world afraid to hate
And I just can't relate
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
No, the underground, ain't underground no more
And I don't know what's in store
She became their corporate whore
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
C'mon, let's go
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
No, the underground, ain't underground no more
And I don't know what's in store
Look at me, I'm fucking bored
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
'Cause the underground, ain't underground no more
Going underground
Suckers
6.No Tomorrow Girls
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Rich Jones
Oh no
I said, 'Boy, don't you be naive
You get off your knees
That ain't no way to dance'
You see them walking down the street
The queens of queens you'd love to meet
But now you ain't got no chance
Yes, you'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls, go
It's like chasing a sweet silhouette
The closer you get
The less you understand
You see them drinking in a club
They're drinking rye, you're drunk on love
But now you ain't got no chance
'Cause you'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls, go
Yesterday's a passing phase
See them pass you by
The future's shining brightly in their thighs
In their thighs, in your eyes, in their thighs
You'd love to take one home, yeah yeah
They'll leave you all alone, yeah yeah
They come and they go, yeah yeah
They're no tomorrow girls
They live to rock 'n' roll, yeah yeah
They're wild without control, yeah yeah
The only ones I know, yeah yeah
Are no tomorrow girls
No tomorrow girls
No tomorrow girls
No tomorrow girls, go
7.No Class Reunion
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Rich Jones
It's been so long
Since I've been here
It seems like years
Since I've seen you, my dear
All those days are gone
Did you find what you were looking for?
Is your life complete?
Or is it missing me?
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
It's so damn nice
To see you here
I remember every face
As if it was only yesterday
And it feels so good
Feeling up your old neighborhood
Everything has changed
But one thing remains
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
If you wanna get it
You gotta get it while it's still young
If you wanna get it, get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
Get it on
Get it on, get it on
8.Some Things Never Fall
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Rich Jones
So here, yes, here we stand
Clenching our hands
Backed up, backed up against the wall
These times, they move too fast
I'm left in the past
But those things, those things never last
Ohh, I don't really wonder why
Some things live and some things die
Ohh, I don't really think about
What it's really all about
And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall
And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall
My friends, they're all left for dead
The words they said
They ain't so easy to forget
My mind, just slips away
My brain decays
I'm getting dumber every day
Ohh, I don't really wonder why
Some things live and some things die
Ohh, I don't really think about
What it's really all about
And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall
And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall
And I say yes
(And I say yes)
We'll show them all
(Ohh)
We'll show them all
(We'll show them all)
Some things never fall

9.Jane Doe
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Richard David Jones (ca)
Just like a scab in the streets
I see you bleeding from your alley
And all you thought it would be
Sorry, baby, you can't have me
'Cause you're sinkin' so low, you're going down
You're sinking so low that
Yeah, you're sinkin' so low, you can't be found
You're going down, yeah
And you're saying to me
(And you're saying to me)
You really need a better way of living
(A better way of living)
But it seems to me
(And it seems to me)
All you want is a better grip on life
(A better way of living)
And you're saying to me
(And you're saying to me)
You really need a better way of living
(A better way of living)
But it seems to me
(And it seems to me)
That all you've got is a better way to die
You're crackers for me
Well, I can take you and I can leave you
And all you thought it would be
Sorry, baby, I can't save you
'Cause you're sinkin' so low, you're going down
You're sinking so low that
Yeah, you're sinkin' so low, you can't be found
You're going down, yeah
And you're saying to me
(And you're saying to me)
You really need a better way of living
(A better way of living)
But it seems to me
(And it seems to me)
All you want is a better grip on life
(A better way of living)
And you're saying to me
(And you're saying to me)
You really need a better way of living
(A better way of living)
But it seems to me
(And it seems to me)
All you've got is a better way to die
A better way to die
A better way to die
A better way to die
'Cause you're sinkin' so low, you're going down
You're sinking so low that
Yeah, you're sinkin' so low, you can't be found
And I'm tired of playing around
All you got is a dead end, way to die
10.50 Bourbon Street
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Rich Jones
Well, now
If there's a lover's graveyard
She's digging me a grave
Well, I'm sure my marker will read
World's biggest sucker for a pretty face
Ooh, every time, I think I've finally, gone found my mate
Well, she feels scared or she feels trapped
And eventually escapes
So now, I'm loving the bottle
I'm trying to kill the pain
Lips wrapped around it like the end of a gun
I'm gonna drink her love away
Yeah, love is for losers
The greatest lovers were fools
Love will pick you up and bury you down in the dumps
It'll make a cold stiff one out of you
Ooh, I don't know why I fall for it
It's so cliche
Life's some kind of twisted game
I just can't help but play
Ooh, I'm a pawn and they're all queens
They know all the secret moves
And just when I think I've won
They always go and change the rules
Yeah, love's like a bar tap
You just drink it away
It just keeps on building up
And in the end you've gotta pay
So now, I'm hitting on a waitress
I keep calling her, nurse
Love will leave you like an empty glass
When you're dying of thirst
Can I have just one more beer, nurse?
Can't you see, I'm dying here, now, nurse?
Can't you see I'm too dry for tears, now, nurse?
Ohh, nurse, can I have just one more beer, nurse?
Yeah, if you want to find me
Well, you know where I've been
I'm committing suicide
Down 50 Bourbon St.
Yeah, if you won't find me
Well, you know where I've been
I'm just waiting for my hearse to arrive
Down the 50 Bourbon St.
50 Bourbon, I can't see, I'm down here
Ohh, can I have just one more beer?
At 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon
At 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon, at 50 Bourbon St.
11.Lost In The '90s
Lyricist:Billy Holtby, Richard David Jones (ca)
In the back of a record store
Piled up on the killing floor
Vinyl veterans who went to war
When they was in their teens
In the back of a record store
Piled up on the dirty floor
All the songs I'd love to hear
But I don't hear anymore
Now in the darkest hour
On the front all is not silent
But I can still hear
Chuck Berry's guitar scream
I never wanted this to be true, no, no, no
I never wanted this
Wanted this for you
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
Buddy Holly and the Big Bopper
Ritchie Valens, all my forefathers
All died for nothing
Or so it seems
In the clubs the disco's still pumping
On the floor the kids are all humping
But I can't help but shed a tear
When Little Richard screams
I never wanted this to be true, no, no, no
I never wanted this
Wanted this for you
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
I never wanted it to end like this
I never wanted it to end
Goodbye to my first kiss and hello loneliness
Goodbye my friends
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
It's been deleted, baby
It's been deleted save me
It's been deleted from your world
Your world
Your world
Your world
12.I Need To Know
Lyricist:Tom Petty
Well, the talk on the street
Says you might go solo
A good friend of mine
Saw you leavin' by your back door
I need to know, I need to know
If you think you're gonna leave
Then you better say so
I need to know, I need to know
'Cause I don't know how long I can hold on
If you're makin' me wait, if you're leadin' me on
I need to know
Who would've thought that
You'd fall for his line?
All of a sudden
It's me on the outside
I need to know
I need to know
Baby, I need to know
13.Homeless For Christmas
Lyricist:William Henry Holtby, Richard Davis Jones
Well, outside it's snowing and they're walking hand in hand
While I'm freezing my bell's off in a winter wonderland
Well, I would really love to be underneath your Christmas tree
'Cause I don't wanna be homeless for Christmas, no, no, no
Well, I bet your turkey stuffed and drinking fancy wine
While I'm trying to sneak my way into the salvation army line
Well, I would really love to eat with your friends and family
'Cause I don't wanna be homeless for Christmas
Oh, I would really love to be kissing you on Christmas eve
'Cause I don't wanna be, no I don't wanna be
No I don't wanna be homeless for Christmas
14.Burning Trash
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, David French, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan,
Jason Millette, Robert Zgaljic
Left to die and not to bleed
Alone your misery
Keep laughing back at me
An old gig poster shot of you
Still decorates my room
To hold your memory
Like burning trash
You got to burn it down
Everything I ever wanted
Like burning trash
You've got to burn it down
Always burns so fast just when I
Just when you think I've got it like burning trash
You've got to burn it down, it turns to ash
Any song in the world
Could try to sound as sweet
Yet never give off heat
Deep inside your cardboard tomb
Dead flowers still in bloom
So I'll send no sympathy
Like burning trash
You've got to break it down
Everything I ever wanted
Like burning trash
You've got to break it down
Always breaks so fast just when I
Just when you think I've got it like burning trash
You've got to break it down, it's in the trash
All these things inside of me
All these things they get so deep
All these things inside of me
Always get so deep
Just when I
Just when you think I've got it
Just when I
It turns to trash like burning trash
You've got to burn it down
Everything I ever wanted
Like burning trash
You got to burn it down
Is just burning trash
15.Three Sheets To The Wind
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, David French, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan,
Jason Millette, Robert Zgaljic
Well, I can see it ain't far way
Tell destiny that we're on our way
We're closing in now it's in our sights
No turning back now it's do or die
We don't care what the papers say
They say the forecast looks real gray
That ain't the world we're living in
Our lives three sheets to the wind
Well, I can feel it all systems go
Divide and conquer the great unknown
No stars to guide us our twisted fate
Cheques in the mail but we just can't wait
We don't care what the preachers say
They say one day we'll all be saved
We don't even know a single hymn
Our lives three sheets to the wind
We don't care what the papers say
Need no false leads to pave the way
That ain't the lane we're driving in
Our lives three sheets to the wind
We don't care what the scenesters say
Don't like the stupid games they play
We're on the outside looking in
Our lives three sheets tot he wind
16.Last Call At The Toothless Saloon
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
Don't want to die in this has been town
There's too much sorrow, I fear I'll drown
Where happy hours go down the drain
Don't want to be no nameless face
Talking all about the olden days
And all my friends who made the grave
Yeah, all the ones who couldn't wait
I've got no time to waste on bottled sympathy
I've got no time to waste on drunken eulogies
Don't count me out, don't call me history
I'm not dead, don't bury me
Shut your jaded mouth
And spare your jealous teeth
I'm not dead, don't bury me
Don't want to be no clean teen dream
A green machine selling magazines
Their average lifespan is a week
Don't want to preach no politics, bow down to bullshit
Like a hypocrite, no, I don't feel no unity
No, I don't want your company
I've got no time to waste on bottled sympathy
I've got no time to waste on drunken eulogies
So don't count me out, don't call me history
I'm not dead, don't bury me
Shut your jaded mouth
And spare your jealous teeth
I'm not dead, don't bury me
17.Tight
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
All wound up
All wound up tight
All wound up
All wound up tight
Boy, you got to move it
Got to move it
Got to shake it tonight
You got to move it
Got to shake it
Got to move it tonight
Boy, you got to move it
Got to shake it tonight
Ain't no time for waiting
Hesitating, masturbating tonight
Ain't no time for waiting
Hesitating, masturbating tonight
Ain't no time for waiting
Hesitating, masturbating tonight
18.Unchanged
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
Familiar faces
Always trying on new disguises
They think they're different but any fool
Can plainly see they go through phases
Like we go through cocktail glasses
They keep on trying to hide
From who they used to be
The more they change it
The more I hate it
The more they change it
The more I hate it darling
The more they change it
The more I hate it
The more they change it
The more I feel the same about it
The more they change it
The more my feelings will remain
Old trends keep haunting
Dig up by new generations
They think they're in chic
But any fool can plainly see
They're flashing fashion
Like I switch the TV stations
They keep searching
To find new personalities
The more they change it
The more I feel the same about it
The more they change it
The more I hate it
The more they change it
The more I hate it, darling
The more they change it
The more I hate it
The more I will remain unchanged
19.Exit Stagefright
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
I don't look back on wasted years
I don't feel much older, same old shell shock
Same old fears all forgotten soldiers
They know the war ain't over, oh no, the war ain't over
I don't remember yesterday
Though chips on my shoulder
Keep my faith and trust at bay
And I don't even know her
Right now I just want to hold her
Oh yeah, I just want to hold her
'Cause if there's one thing I can't lose
After all I've been through, I'm telling you
The lights go down
And you know you can't fake it
Alone in the crowd
Are you standing there naked?
In the spotlight there's nowhere you can hide
A human wall and you just can't break it
Reading lips but you just can't say it
On display before those baited eyes
I try to make ground everyday
I get a little closer with no surrender flag to wave
Just a forgotten soldier
I know the war ain't over, oh no, the war ain't over
'Cause if there's one thing I can't lose
After all I've been through, I'm telling you
The lights go down
And you know you can't fake it
Alone in the crowd
And you're standing there naked
In the spotlight there's nowhere you can hide
A human wall and you just can't break it
Reading lips but you just can't say it
On display before those baited eyes
Yeah, it's one thing I can't lose
After all that I've been through
It's these suburban teenage blues
I'm telling you
The lights go down
And you know you can't fake it
Alone in the crowd
And you're standing there naked
In the spotlight there's nowhere you can hide
A human wall and you just can't break it
Reading lips but you just can't say it
On display before those baited eyes
It's stage fright suicide
20.Fucked From The Start
Lyricist:William Holtby, Richard Jones
Well, I'm a modern day minority
Ain't got no culture or history
But what you get's really what you see
I've got 5-finger discount clothes
Bloody fingers and a runny nose
But this ain't the path I chose
'Cause I was fucked from the start
Like a modern piece of art
Standing on the corner out in the dark
Yeah, I was fucked from the start
Like a dirty needle in Pigeon Park
Maybe I was just fucked from the start
I refuse to pay my dues
So fuck the world and fuck you too
Don't waste my energy
'Cause you ain't got the bandages I need
'Cause I was fucked from the start
Like a modern piece of art
Standing on the corner out in the dark
Yeah, I was fucked from the start
Like a dirty needle in Pigeon Park
Maybe I was just fucked from the start
I was fucked, I was so fucked up
I was shit outta luck
It ain't my fault that the boy's gone nuts
I was just so fucked up
'Cause I was fucked from the start
I wanna tear myself apart
As I grab the knife and begin to carve
Yeah, I was fucked from the start
I've got two black eyes and a blacker heart
Maybe I was just fucked from the start
Baby, I was fucked
21.Broken
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
What she don't know might kill her
I don't have the heart to tell her no
This hell we built together
Just can't go on forever, no
Just like cockroaches in the night
We separate into the honesty of light
Don't call this love, you call this love
There's only so much I can take
I bend and bend and bend until I break
Don't call this love, you call this love
There's only so much I can take
I bend and bend and bend until I break
What I don't know might kill me
She swears shell never leave me, no
Things just ain't getting better
I guess it's now or never, no
Just like the tears we used to cry
Our love ain't blind
But our eyes are tired and dry
Don't call this love, you call this love
There's only so much I can take
I bend and bend and bend until I break
22.Third World U.S.A
Lyricist:Adam Becvar, William Holtby, Dennis Macgougan, Jason
Millette, Robert Zgaljic
The sky is falling
'Cause the cities are burning
And the high road to freedom
Is paved with poverty
All gods children are screaming
'Cause the angels are demons
And they stand just like statues
'Cause there ain't no liberty
Not for you and me
In your third world
In your third world
In your third world
Burn all the temples to the ground
Make sure there ain't no gods around
Bring them down
Launch your frustrations to the sky
Till heaven sees the light
Let them fly, let them die
Well, the tower has fallen
And Gabriel's calling
And the words of salvation
Are just a movie of the week
And the right wing is hoping
That the left wing is broken
By emotionless voting
'Cause there ain't no victory
Not for you and me
In your third world
In your third world
In your third world
Burn all the temples to the ground
Make sure there ain't no gods around
Bring them down
Launch your frustrations to the sky
Till heaven sees the light
Let them fly, let them die
Burn all the temples to the ground
Make sure there ain't no gods around
Bring them down
Launch your frustrations to the sky
Till heaven sees the light
Let them fly, let them die
23.Darkest Corners
Come along and walk with me
We'll see where your life could lead
City streets of mystery are calling you and me
Scream until your voice is sore
And kick down those unknown doors
'Cause it knows that we're at home, we're at home
Now come along and walk with me
We'll see where your life could lead
City streets that never sleep are waiting you and me
Leave everything to chance
Instead of slam dance with circumstance
'Cause it knows that we're at home, we're at home
In darkest corners of the world
In darkest corners of the world, we're at home
Walk with me at home, we're at home
In darkest corners of the world
