1.Glitters Like Gold
It's so strange seeming, like a friends mothers perfume
That you can be what you want.
Anointed genius, poets, good fucks
Yeah you can be what you want
Anyway can't shake the feeling
I spent all my splendour long ago
And though I rarely see it
Your other side glitters like gold,
It never shows that
My mind will always fight me,
with both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm the whale beneath this ship who would ever believe me？
I should say something,
They seem to like me better
If I just sing nonsense
Anyway never written honest
Though some times I think I should
But to share these feelings
Would only hurt the ones I love
They know enough that
My mind will always fight me,
with both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm the whale beneath this ship who would ever believe me？
I guess I'm not what you wanted,
A naive streak that I wont shake
Keeps me cold
My mind will always fight me,
with both sides claiming victory
Kiss my stiff upper lip and forever release me
Vanity dance around me
Whatever you think about me
I'm not half the kid I used to be who would ever believe me？
2.Come on Be a No-one
come on i'll be a no-one,
for you
Got you wrong, it's not your fault,
sometimes i'd rather feel cheap,
you can't keep suckling me.
i was trying so hard to enjoy everything
that i ended up enjoying nothing.
seriously i'm really well fed
i know previously you needed me like a hole
come on i'll be a no-one,
for you.
stay home and write a song
for you.
Like a shooting star, or a change of heart,
i'm something that you rarely see,
smell the lilies on me.
roadside, covered in flies,
and caustic soda,
we're giving off the same odour
3.Jaded Youth
You mean a lot to me
But I never listen to a word you say
cos I've got money in my wallet
I've got bruises on my knees
But that don't matter
Cos the point was lost
On a jaded youth
Check out these words, they're deep
Smoke cigarettes down at the end of my street
But the curse of days forgotten is playing on my mind
If I went back to school would I feel cool？
I don't know...
And it's time that you were told
The young people got too old
Dye your hair red cos it's back in fashion
And I've got no libido
Seems a long long time ago
Since I was looking for a piece of the action
I'm a jaded youth
In the meantime I'll write down all of htese words
And sing songs of being lost then found
Being loved and lost
I'm a jaded youth since I learned the truth
4.Anna
Anna, do you ever wonder
why i'm here, sitting with all the queens men？
is it awkward？ or are they friends？
i've seen some of these faces before
im sure
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
but i could never ask for love cos that's not right
but i would always ask for
Anna, i know you worry
whatever you think i'm doing on a night
you're probably right
well either way
i'm left kicking the sides of the stall
the stall
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
and i was only asking for what i knew was mine
but i could never ask for love cos that's not right
but i would always ask for her
i'm not yet who i wanna be
so help me to change
5.Confident Men
It was a Parisian fluke, and what did I do？
Sat on a bollard and I did not move
Although I knew that...
That there is something I just can't pretend
Confident men and their unwelcome friends
Always win in the end
Always
Read into signs like a knowing wink, more than I should
Emails that drowned in lovers' ink know that I would
Make poor excuses for the things I never dared
I would have kissed you but the moon was there
Watching no-one care
No way
With spirit waltzing
I found something
That belonged to you
Years ago
The emails were drowned in lovers' ink
For their own good
I'll tell you something I just can't pretend
Confident men and their unwelcome friends
Will kill me in the end
Always
6.Uptight
Tonight it seems for sure
If I would made it up the
and some more, it makes no difference
Cause that's what drifts riding
Trust the love
So I might have to go
You only know, only know
No one have to tell me,
No one have to tell me,
I know why I still let it go
It's a uptight, we need a uptight
So sorry that I never will be the
Kind of guy you want
But it's a be the uptight
Treat my consistent, but it's something she don't know
Ever a picture, will you taste my
In every way but one, that I don't wanna know
You only know, only know
No one have to tell me,
I know why I still let it go
It's a uptight, we need a uptight
So sorry that I never will be the
Kind of guy you want
But it's a be the uptight
Gone away the thought remains this thought remains
Gone away, so tell me, the spot remains
Gone away the thought remains this thought remains
Gone away, so tell me, the spot remains
7.Chi-Town
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Forget the airport and cut my hair short
Eat cookies and cream from the store at the end of the street,
There's so much junk in my head, will I only be here when you're
dead？
But I'll still think of you to take it out on myself.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
At the end of the rainbow, I took a photo
These things, I was here and now I know I won't return
But still I think of you and to take it out on everyone else.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
Meet me down in Chi-Town, in Logan Square underground
You know the one, we were always there.
8.Pure O
Pure O
you have to burn it
you should know that
I was serving my head
you know, you know
I can change
...but the things occur
so .. I lay it all on you
your broken heart so impression
have ..I carry this ground
what can ..
I got something I can't say
Pure O
you have to burn it
you should know that
I was serving my head
you know, you know
you have the ..thing you should know that
I was serving my head
Protect the ..the secret the way is understood
she keeps the spell with no ..
I promise I hold you ..
my head ..so the chance is wasted
a thousand never took
I carry with ..
I got something I can't say
Pure O
I was wasting
so many years ..
..yeah I was ..first
she don't know you
and I was lonely ..
You have to burn it
you should know that
I was serving my head
but you know, you know
you have the ..thing you should know that
I was serving my head
9.Back to the Bolthole
You follow Aurora and hope no one saw you
You peel back the screen door like everyone before
Cartoons run on repeat in the room across the street
So you go out to find her in some crappy roadside diner
You're a long, long way from home and as the room grows cold
You're crying in secret about the things your thinking on a
night
that you one day will die.
Just try to think it's the one thing that makes this all
worthwhile
That I one day will die
So where do we go？ go Back to the bolthole
Crack open the raids the oxygen makes you faint here
The cascading rainfall the couch has gone a.w.o.l
It's as good place as any to forget about your family.
You're a long, long way from home and as the room grows cold
You're crying in secret about the things your thinking on a
night
that you one day will die.
Just try to think it's the one thing that makes this all
worthwhile
That I one day will die
10.I Should Have Helped
You should take it back in no circumstance
I understand, remember
The man on the street is wrong
Again
I used to think I knew something that
No one else knew
I was a fool
When a lonely voice in a lonely town
Just couldn't tell
I should have helped out
And the times you'd wait
Outside the coin exchange
With ghosts and rain
You were lost when the cloud came down
My friend
When a loved ones dead
You look at the sky
In a different way, but that's OK
Cos perfect things still can break your heart
That's not to say
I'd ever change that
There's always still quilt
11.Stalagmites
We stand here in ceremonial dress,
With a knife in the garter.
Like the love you never get to feel,
This is the fame of the martyr.
You are the California smile,
You're the cake decorator.
He has this plan which is keep doing exactly what it is you're
doing
and somehow everything's going to be alright.
And I was like, I'm growing stalagmites, I' don't want to be
here anymore.
So I guess we're going to live in this haunted city forever
more,
Where the gray creeps through your front door and all the houses
look like jack'o'lanterns, exactly the same all stood in a row.
Glowing with the mundanity of an early evening being lived out
inside.
Like the rabbits with ointment in their eyes
Trying to focus in cages.
The lives are lived so what is it？
An hourglass or two faces？
We're only human is our excuse,
Let's just keep blaming nature.
My heart melts less over the years,
Whilst the past rings in my ears.
You are the California smile,
You're the cake decorator.
So if needs be I'll batter you with unrelenting dignity,
My mouth will be sealed tighter than a nervous clam.
Because all words will be meaningless when you're washed up on
the sand.
Try not to think about the future.
Try not to live in the past.
In the meantime I'll write down all of these words
And sing songs of being lost then found,
Being loved and lost.
12.Like a Gift Giver
Little birds in a box of tea just waiting to die
Like a gift giver I will change the way that you see or I'll try
But I know it's not even
But try you're in heaven
To call me up
It's hard to believe in anything that I've learnt in my life
But whisper something trivial that sounds good and I might
But I know it's not even
But try you're in heaven
To call me up
13.Butterflies
Waiting for my friend to wake up
So we can talk in the night
like the old days
Though you like the songs I sing to you
All the words they are untrue
But I promise just like I always do,
Though you like the songs I sing to you
All the words are no longer true
But I promise just like I always do.
I try to see the world the world through her eyes now
It seems she thinks all leaves are butterflies now
Though you like the songs I sing to you
All the words they are untrue
But I promise just like I always do,
Though you like the songs I sing to you
All the words are no longer true
But I promise just like I always do.
14.Arena Rock Encore with Full Cast
Sorry that it's taken years,
We were victims of our own ideals,
But I'd rather be tied to myself than to anyone else.
