1.Great Big Rip-Off
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, James Alexander Gregory, Samuel
Preston, Alex Smith, Jeffrey Regan Taylor, Mark Taylor
It found us
It drowned us
It's not us, it's the world around us
Get ready
For this tip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
It's not dirty, it's clean
It's not you who told me
Let's let the world around us
Take the blame for everything
Work is a four letter word
And I'm trying
It's sad, it's true that sex sells
And I'm buying
Big rip off, big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
And you get nothing for free
Darling you can have me
Let's let the world around us
Take the blame for everything
And I will trying anything twice
Why bother?
And if it's especially nice
Maybe another
Big rip off, big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
It's not dirty it's clean
It's not you who told me
Let's let the world around us
Take the blame for everything
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
Big rip off, the big rip off
Get ready it's the great big rip-off
2.In Awe of the Awful
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, Samuel Dylan Mur Preston
You barged into this a lie
And now you're far too deep to stop
When your eyes were full of fire
And you didn't feel tense
When you lie to one another
It's that there's nothing left to say
The words 'I Love You'
Fill awkward silences
And life just cannot stop
If you've gone and messed it up
And I won't be here, no I won't comfort you
So get your act together
Your matrimonial fulfillment started
Life as harmless lies
Thanks to bodily requirements
You are walking blind
And life just cannot stop
If you've gone and messed it up
And I won't be here, no I won't comfort you
Oh, get your act together
And life just cannot
And life just cannot
And life just cannot stop
3.Just a Song
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, Samuel Dylan Mur Preston
Oh, to get ahead in this world
Takes a lot of kind words
And ruthless damning actions
And I hope, I never have to hurt you
Though I gladly will do, my friend
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
Sipping lazy cups of tea
I won't be brooding in my bedroom
With the shutters down on me
And this song is not cathartic
Because I've done nothing wrong
It's just a song
It's just a song
Ah, you see, the more you're trying
The more I know you're lying
The more I start to hate the sight of you
Tell me what you would do?
Pulled by both arms, nearly torn in two
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
Sipping lazy cups of tea
I won't be crying in my bedroom
With the covers over me
And this song is not cathartic
Because I've done nothing wrong
It's just a song
It's just a song
And I'll be reading in the kitchen
Sipping lazy cups of tea
I won't be brooding in my bedroom
With the shutters down on me
And this song is not cathartic
Because I've done nothing wrong
It's just a song
It's just a song
It's just a song
It's just a song
4.I Luv U
Lyricist:Samuel Dylan Preston
I'm not gonna patronize ya
But trying to write down why I like ya
It doesn't make it any better
To just steal kind words off Phil Spector
And I know all these tired cliches
But I don't know which cliche to say
Because cliches don't have any impact
So I guess I will be matter-of-fact
Cos, it's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you
You know that
Don't you?
I love you
I'm so sorry that I'm losing
When other boys would leave you swooning
When I finally get my words together
I choke and they are gone forever
But words are words and they mean nothing
Surely I love you counts for something!
So let's be hasty, and let's be reckless
Just being with you, oh it leaves me breathless
Cos, it's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you
You know that
Don't you?
I love you
I love you
You know that
Don't you?
I love you
It's so good to know ya
That I just don't know how to show ya
I love you
You know that
Don't you?
I love you
I love you
You know that
Don't you?
I love you
5.Robots and Monkeys
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, Samuel Dylan Mur Preston
Where have they gone? Where have they gone?
All the days when we didn't know right from wrong, oh no
And know we're so grown up just like we wanted to be
Building up debts, I won't be, I won't be
What do you wanna be
A robot or a monkey?
What do you wanna be
A robot or a monkey?
What can you do? What can you do
When money has a way of catching up with you? Yeah yeah
So you work all day and you sleep all night
Then you work all day, it's not right, it's not right
What do you wanna be
A robot or a monkey?
What do you wanna be
A robot or a monkey? Yeah yeah yeah
What do you wanna be
A robot or a monkey?
What do you wanna be
A robot or a monkey?
6.Seaside
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, Samuel Dylan Mur Preston
Well, I'm here but where are you?
You're inside with better things to do
With better things to do like sitting in a room
And staring at computer screens and fax machines
Not gonna wait, gonna wait for the weekend to step outside
Hurry up, hurry up, put your shoes on
We're stepping out tonight
The seaside needs us more than ever
The man says you've gone and spent the money
He ever so kindly lent
Enjoy your pretty things, the things you'll never use
You're overdrawn and underpaid and overweight
Not gonna wait, gonna wait for the weekend to step outside
Hurry up, hurry up, put your shoes on
We're stepping out tonight
The seaside needs us more than ever
The seaside needs us more than ever
Not gonna wait, gonna wait for the weekend to step outside
Hurry up, hurry up, put your shoes on
We're stepping out tonight
The seaside needs us more than ever
7.A Call To Arms
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, Samuel Dylan M Preston
We're overrated, uneducated
It's not easy being so liberated
So isolated, it's complicated
Being loved or being hated
And nothing feels quite as real
As when you're hanging from the ceiling
Like an imbecile
In the name of peace, love and unity
We came, we conquered
We were outnumbered
One for all we will never fumble
Take a tumble, in the rumble
All for one we will never crumble
No one knows where to go
After bumping in the rough lads
Blow by blow
In the name of peace, love and unity
But what have done wrong
We're only standing and singing our songs
But it don't have to be for you boys
Not unless you sing along
But what have done wrong
Were only standing and singing our songs
This is not a call to arms boys
Not unless you sing along
We get together in any weather
We've come to the end of our tether
We will endeavor the same as ever
To stand for no shit whatsoever
We can fight to get it right
Bumping in the rough is not a pretty sight
In the name of peace love and unity
But what have done wrong
We're only standing and singing our songs
But it don't have to be for you boys
Not unless you sing along
But what have done wrong
Were only standing and singing our songs
This is not a call to arms boys
Not unless you sing along
And nothing feels quite as real
As when you're hanging from the ceiling
Like an imbecile
In the name of peace, love and unity
But what have done wrong
Were only standing and singing our songs
This is not a call to arms boy
Not unless you sing along
8.Lonely At The Top
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, Samuel Preston, Alex Smith, Jeffrey
Regan Taylor, Mark Taylor
This is a song for all of my close friends
Anonymous neighbors with stories to tell
I didn't realize I had so many close friends
Nameless and shameless with history to sell
What's the fuss? You've gotta be in it to win it
I want pride but I know I'll never get it
Fame, I wanna live for 15 minutes
I want love but my heart's not in it
If only it was lonely at the top
I've got too much but it's never enough
If only it was lonely at the top
If only it was lonely at the top
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey hey
If only it was lonely at the top
This is a song for all the complainers
All the campaigners who will not give up
They're selling their souls just to wear their sunglasses
They say 'Stop the press, I want to get off'
What's the fuss? I've gotta be in it to win it
I want pride but i know I'll never get it
Shame, I wanna live for 15 minutes
I want love but my heart's not in it
If only it was lonely at the top
I've got too much but it's never enough
If only it was lonely at the top
If only it was lonely
What's the fuss? You've gotta be in it to win it
I want pride but I know I'll never get it
Fame, I wanna live for 15 minutes
I want love but my heart's not in it
Oh, oh, oh, oh, hey, hey
If only it was lonely at the top
I've got too much but its never enough
If only it was lonely at the top
If only it was lonely at the top
9.Club Chez Moi
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, Samuel Preston, Jeffrey Regan Taylor,
Mark Taylor
I can hear the city sing its lustful lullaby
And see the drugs spill down the drains into the night
Well, I made this bed of nails that I'm sleeping in today
I can't just close my eyes and ignore it all away
Dance with me tonight, it's late
And I don't want to fight so out of mind so out of sight
So what, so dance with me tonight
Dance with me tonight, dance with me tonight
I can tell you you go out 'til the lights go on
And when the lights go out, well, we may well carry on
Will you ever find this needle in a cul de sac?
It's only club chez moi and I'm giving something back
Dance with me tonight, it's late
And I don't want to fight so out of mind so out of sight
So what, so dance with me tonight
Dance with me tonight, dance with me tonight
I can hear the city sing in perfect harmony
Late night taxi bright lights try enticing me
Well, I set this rat trap but I'm falling in today
I can just close my eyes but it will not go away
Dance with me tonight, it's late
And I don't want to fight so out of mind so out of sight
So what so dance with me tonight
Dance with me tonight, dance with me tonight
10.We've Got The Best Job Ever
Lyricist:William Jonathan Brown, James Alexander Gregory, Samuel
Preston, Jeffrey Regan Taylor, Mark Taylor
I cross my fingers on a Monday morning
I keep on smiling and I keep on singing
So sure that I don't deserve it
My throat aches and my ears are ringing
Believing in coincidence
In running risks not common sense
In the wrong place at the right time
I'll take the blame cos it's all mine
We've got the best job ever
It will be over sooner or never
At the risk of sounding clever
I want the best job ever forever
We've got the best job ever, oh, oh
We've got the best job ever, oh, oh
I try to stop myself from being boring
And try to remind myself who is laughing
I try to act like it's not so exciting
Desperate that my 15 seconds is passing
Though what it's luck we rely on
A force so weak it seems so strong
In the right place at the wrong time
I'll take the chance the choice is mine
We've got the best job ever
It will be over sooner or never
At the risk of sounding clever
I want the best job ever forever
We've got the best job ever, oh, oh
We've got the best job ever, oh, oh
Believing in coincidence
In running risks not common sense
In the wrong place at the right time
I'll take the blame cos it's all mine
We've got the best job ever
It will be over sooner or never
At the risk of sounding clever
I want the best job ever forever
We've got the best job ever, oh, oh
We've got the best job ever, oh, oh
We've got the best job ever
We've got the best job ever
11.Walking On The Faultlines (The Ultimate Step)
Lyricist:Samuel Preston
It was obvious but I just couldn't see it
How to stay on the play list, stay edgeless and pretty
How to avoid the red marks, that are so carelessly damning
To shake off the truth and retain the glamor
Have you heard all the stars that are relentlessly living?
You care that the world can be so unforgiving
It's so desperately easy to fall out of orbit
Now I'm all but out and it's so certainly for it
There's only one more step I know
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess, I'm ready, here we go
I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There's nowhere else to go
In the end will be my beginning
To get on the A list, I'll just quit when I'm winning
To forgive not forget, to repent not regret
And to close my eyes would be my bravest move yet
And I wake up and it's my finest hour
Then the party ends and the sweetness turns sour
It's so desperately easy for me to employ it
The only catch is I'm not here to enjoy it
There's only one more step I know
Maybe it could be avoided but I don't think so
I guess, I'm ready,here we go
I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go
Whoo whey whoo whey whoo whoo
There's only one more step I know
I guess, I'm ready, here we go
I've been walking on the faultlines
I've been taking the dark route home
I've been dancing on the landmines
There is nowhere else to go
I've been getting drunk and playing with matches
Listening to the radio in the bath
I've been crossing main roads with my eyes closed
With my name in lights or my name in stone
