Viva Brother Famous First Words Lyrics
1.New Year's Day

I've got a wish in my well and it's burning up a hole in my
pocket
A hole in my pocket
Well, I'm feeling closer to hell and I'm burning like a big
space rocket
A big space rocket

Yeah, and you said that I'm losing faith
Well, it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away

Yeah, it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah, it's, ba, ba, ba, ba

We fell asleep top and tails on the carpet it was so
uncomfortable
So uncomfortable
Feel like a killer whale, let me free or I will bite your head
off
Will bite your head off

Yeah, and you said that I'm losing faith
Well, it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away

Yeah, it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah, it's, ba, ba, ba, ba

Yeah, and you said that I'm losing faith
Well, it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away

Yeah, it's just like New Year's Day
Fly away, fly away
Yeah, it's, ba, ba, ba, ba


2.Still Here

you take my money and burn it to the ground
it's no inferno but it follows me around, and i've got
selective memory, forgotten your name
now im turning myself inside out once again

and i'll take it one day at a time
and i'll take it one day at a time

if you do, if you don't, if you say that you won't
im still...


3.David

It was a matter of time,
Before he fell through
That roof on a Friday night
(Uh oh)
And he was lucky to be alive
But he never listens to me

And David answered the front door
It was a charity
He should have given more
(Uh oh)
I used to think
He was really poor
But then I caught
A look at his TV

Strange,
Stranger things have happened
Since he crashed his car
As the paramedics picked him up
He said to them,
Let's do it all again

Roll out of bed
And into routine
It takes a moron to know one
And he knows me (uh oh)
He makes a meal
Out of everything,
But he's never had
Me round for tea

It was a matter of time,
Before he fell through
That roof on a Friday night
(Uh oh)
And he was lucky to be alive
But he never listens to me

Strange,
Stranger things have happened
Since he crashed his car
As the paramedics picked him up
He said to them,
Let's do it all again


4.High Street Low Lives

You said I made a mistake
You're only famous when dead,
And now you pass the time
Calling me up, asking
Is there a secret? I said
No, you're just falling apart

I saw you cracking a smile
Around the start of July
And now your pocket is
As full as your heart
Come friendly bombs
To end this misery

This is real, and I'm free
This is what I wanna be
Cause life's too short
And I'm too high
And nobody is getting out alive

I fell asleep on the train,
And I woke up with a headache
Why bother practicing the lines
To a song that means nothing to no one,
Especially the one it's coming from?

You caught me drinking in bed,
It's either there or the car
Hallucinating from my skin to my bones
Come friendly bombs
To end this misery

This is real, and I'm free
This is what I wanna be
Cause life's too short
And I'm too high
And nobody is getting out alive


5.Electric Daydream

Spread the word I've got
The meaning of this life
Haven't you heard?
It makes a fool
Right out of you

I took the long illuminated
Walk across the light and
Dark side of your heart
And that's all that I can do

And I sing
Oh follow me home
You've got the highest hopes
That I have ever known
And rightfully so
And as we're spinning around
You let your feet leave the ground

Losing your mind
For the first time
Knowing it won't be your last
Taking a fall
You won't remember at all
Electric daydream
Look what you've done

Spread the word I've got
The meaning of this life
Haven't you heard?
It makes a fool
Right out of me

I saw the long illuminated
View across the light and
Dark side of the moon
And that's all I can do

And I sing
Oh follow me home
You've got the highest hopes
That I have ever known
And rightfully so

And as we're spinning around
You let your feet leave the ground

Losing your mind
For the first time
Knowing it won't be your last
Taking a fall
You won't remember at all
Electric daydream
Look what you've done

Losing your mind
For the first time
Knowing it won't be your last
Taking a fall
You won't remember at all


6.Darling Buds Of May

I burnt the kitchen down
You told me ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

You tried to shut me up
I told you ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel better now

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel so much better now

Because her birthday's in May
It is what it is, It is what it is

Because her birthday's in May
It is what it is, It is what it is

I heard police last night,
Their sirens ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

They tried to pick me up,
I told them ooo
We've got to get this right, right now
Uh oh oh

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel better now

And when you walk, and when you walk
I feel so much better now

Because her birthday's in May
It is what it is, It is what it is


7.Otherside

I left my head at the end
Of the phone last night
I left my head by the side
Of your bedside light
I can't sleep
Cos I'm cutting my teeth on you
Cos I'm thinking about

Cos I've got a job
But I don't work
No, I don't work
And I've got a car
But I don't drive
So I'll see you on the other side

I make my bed on the floor
Where I stood last night
I make my bed in the glow
Of the morning light
I can't sleep
Cos I'm cutting my teeth on you
Cos I'm thinking about

Cos I've got a job
But I don't work
No, I don't work
And I've got a car
But I don't drive
So I'll see you on the other side

I want, you want him dead
She said, nothing at all
I want, you want him dead
She said, nothing at all
I want, you want him dead
She said, nothing at all
Nothing at all
Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

Cos I've got a job
But I don't work
No, I don't work
And I've got a car
But I don't drive
So I'll see you on the other side
So I'll see you on the other side
Yeah I'll see you on the other side
Yeah I'll see you on the other side


8.Fly By Nights

I took your advice
Felt like Columbus last night
I discovered why
I turned out the light oh oh oh

Follow you inside
I feel like Jekyll and Hyde
Half of me's alright
And half of me's not oh oh

Rolling over
And now you wanna believe
I lost my mind
On fly by nights

Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo
Ooo ooo ooo

I took out the Queen
She said you're just twenty three
I told her
It doesn't matter to me
Oh oh oh

I'm thinking of you
And so I'm drinking for two
What's your excuse?
You don't have one oh oh

Rolling over
And now you wanna believe
I lost my mind
On fly by nights

La la la la la la

Rolling over
And now you wanna believe
I lost my mind
On fly by nights

I lost my mind
Lost my mind
I lost my mind
Lost my mind


9.False Alarm

Britannia left me and
She showed me the road
I said I'm going my own way
I'm doing it on my own
I met the mermaid and
I showed her just how to run
She's going her own way
She's making it on her own
I told volcano
Stop blowing your lid my son
He's going his own way
He's doing it on his own

Oh shine it out today
Throw it all away
I said ooo it's a false alarm
Oh shine it out today
Throw it all away
I said ooo it's a false alarm

Britannia left me and
She showed me the road
I said I'm going my own way
I'm doing it on my own
I met the mermaid and
I showed her just how to run
She's going her own way
She's making it on her own
I told tornado
Stop tearing our houses down
He's going his own way
He's doing it on his own

Oh shine it out today
Throw it all away
I said ooo it's a false alarm
Oh shine it out today
Throw it all away
I said ooo it's a false alarm

I swim through the sky
I fly through the sea
I'm walking alone, happily
Shine it out today
Shine it out today
Shine it out today
Shine it out today

Oh shine it out today
Throw it all away
I said ooo it's a false alarm
Oh shine it out today
Throw it all away
I said ooo it's a false alarm
Oh shine it out today
Throw it all away

10.Time Machine

My darling told me
She was on her way
She said she'll leave tomorrow
She said she'll leave today
God as my mistress now
And as a friend
She said that prayers were water
She said that I can't swim

So I said hail everybody
I've got nothing left to lose
And I said hail everybody
Cos I have to tell you

Love
Love is a time machine
Bringing you back to me
From out of the blue
I said love
Love is a time machine
Bringing you back to me
From out of the blue

You listen closely
And you fill that head
I make mistakes too often
I make myself look bad
God as my mistress now
And as a friend
She said that prayers were water
She said that I can't swim

So I said hail everybody
I've got nothing left to lose
And I said hail everybody
Cos I have to tell you

Love
Love is a time machine
Bringing you back to me
From out of the blue
I said love
Love is a time machine
Bringing you back to me
From out of the blue
Out of the blue

La, la, la, la, la, la, la

Love
Love is a time machine
Bringing you back to me
From out of the blue
I said love
Love is a time machine
Bringing you back to me
From out of the blue
Out of the blue
Out of the blue
