I had no cares in the 1990s,
I knew of no downfalls,
The war was breaking out all around me,
My concerns were with prank calls.

She kissed me on the cheek,
She kissed me on the cheek,
Right in front of the older kids,

Lately, I
Have been speculating
As to how and why
These circums race whatever I do
Your blonde hair
Breaks this ten thousand yard stare
Clearly, I
Am still withdrawing it’s true

Please allow me to be your anti- depressant,
I too, am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant

We kick back and let the pills do the talking
People hear a distinct rattle when we’re walking
Then there’s the extra two stone that’s our only guarantee

Please allow me
To be your anti depressant
I too, I am prescribed as freely
As any decongestant

We kick back and let the pills do the talkin
People hear a distinct rattle when we’re walkin
Then there’s the extra two stone that’s our only guarantee

I can see an avalanche rushing towards me
Something's making that snow look so inviting
I can see an avalanche rushing towards me
I miss the safety of home but perhaps this is what I need
Perhaps this is what I need

From all the laugh and scratch bars that de-value our cards with a smile
From all the a-listed stars that crush our weak hearts with their style

It's 8 o' clock and I'm feeling fine
I'm out on a date tonight
In a candle lit restaurant down by the riverside
Everything’s going alright I guess
She took down my number and home address
Everything was going perfectly until...

It backfired at the disco, she slapped me at the disco, I did something I'll never forget

Closed off from love
I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough
And it was all in vain
Time starts to pass
Before you know it you're frozen

But something happened

We're going on holiday
So why have you got an array of board games under your arm?
What’s the point in going somewhere else
If you're only going to do exactly what you would be doing at home?
Looks like we're both in checkmate now

Board games have a double meaning in this caravan in Wales
You sink ships when we should be kissing

I cut off my head and my cheetah tongue
I can't think straight and my mouth is numb
Don't shut your eyes 'til we fade to black
'Cause maybe this time the good stuff could last

You won me over
My orange cola got black flamingoes crying for ya
Well I'll see you later

It's tough to stay objective, baby
With your tongue abseiling down my neck
It's a bulletproof offer I can't accept
It's tough to maintain focus, baby
Now all my elephants are in the room
We crave the fiction when we need the truth

You need to find a different boy's heart to chew

We're smashing mics in karaoke bars
You're running late with half your makeup on
This method acting might pay our bills
But soon enough they'll be a different role to fill

I love this feeling
But I hate this part
I wanted this to work so much

I'm not in love with you,
I'm a coward and a thief,
I'm a shark with blunted teeth.

I have somewhat mislead you,
I've been known to bend the truth,
I would lie in a confession booth.

Headspace, I need a route of my headspace
Cause it's a war in here and I need you take
Take her out of my headspace

Gonna drive, drive, drive this Cadillac
Up the ocean road until it runs out of gas
Cause I'm hurt
I laugh and I joke but I'm hurt

What a great achievement it was
To get a hotel room this late
I bet they charge by the hour here
The kind of place where you should bring your own UV ray

It's not a big problem with me, love
You don't look that hygienic anyway
I'm only here because

I've met someone that makes me feel seasick
Oh what a skill to have
Oh what a skill to have
So many skills that make her distinctive
But they're not mine to have
No not mine
Whenever she looks i read the nearest paper
No i don't care about the soaps

I'm a good friend and an excellent lover
I can fool myself just like no other person can
I'm turning into a twisted man

I haven't got time for any selfless deeds
What I do for you is indirectly for me
I'm a stubborn boy, there's nothing here that you can break or destroy

I'm back in Liverpool,
And everything seems the same,
But I worked something out last night,
That changed this little boys brain,
A small piece of advice,
That took twenty-two years in the make,
And I will break it for you now,
Please learn from my mistakes,

I think the postman intercepts everything I try and send to you
'Cos he's infatuated and he's the fulcrum between us two
And i can't say i blame him 'cos i'd cheat a priest just to get to you
Oooooo...
She works in a dental practice 9 'till 5 how does she manage?
Considering her nights don't pass out 'till 3
So I guess that flossing is he last thing in her health routine
Oooooo...

I should have known you didn't have the time my dear
To let this twenty something bring you down with his list of fears
I'd like to think we had some good times though
It's just my inability to think outside the box I know!

She was signed, sealed and lost in the post,
Gone where all the letters we write to Santa go
(Go to Santa Go!)

I've just had the craziest week,
Like a party bag of lies, booze and then deceit.
And I don't know why I want to voice this out loud,
It's theraputic somehow.

So I'm moving to New York cos I've got problems with my sleep,
And we're not the same and I will wear that on my sleeve.

Grandad George said the heroes are the ones that run away,
But I wear no medals as I'm sprawled in a toilet on my birthday.
Welcome to my circuitboard city of yellow and black,
We all score WD40 so our hearts don't crack
I must admit I need a speed-bump to slow down my higher brain.

Have a dance, have a drink
Suppress it back, ruin everything

This is my first wedding and I hope it is my last
Things would be fantastic if me and the bride didn't have a past
So I stand by the buffet and submerse myself in brie
I'm tactically positioned
Yeah because the bar is near and the champagne's for free

Oooh oooh ooh ooh

We don’t admit it but we’ve never seen eye to eye,
My hobby's moaning and yours is making money,
It’s always a shock when old friends pass by,
But with you it’s no "death in the family".

Lets not talk about hate when there’s hell to pay,
For my cowardice and your bad timing,
We don’t admit it but we’ve never seen eye to eye,

She works downtown in an unmarked bar,
Flyin' round poles she always gave me the fright of my life
I didn't mean to get involved it was the alcohol
Mixed with and empty feeling inside
Its such a bad idea to fall in love with a 'lady of the night'

Why didn't God give her two left feet
Then she couldn't run away from me!

It all started on the school bus
You were nine and I was ten
Remember you had a walkman
All I had was a middle part and a pen

Oh sweet Louise!
Whatever happened to her?

It all started on the school bus,
You were 9 and I was 10,

My teeth have never looked quite this yellow and my body never quite this fat
I'll pay well over the odds just to have some teenage abandoned back
I hit the ice of the 5th of Jan and I swear it was an act of fate
But I don't get angry when I'm felling down
I just take my thoughts into the center of town

And Schumacher the Champagne
Whoever needed good cause to celebrate

It's the sociopaths that scare me,
Not the fall of my local bank,
At least they're only burning money,
They won't be laughing as they're chopping off my hands.

One day I'll learn to box clever,
And beat the past back in its place,
I'll never get rid of this false endeavor,

East London's not a bomb site
It is a treasure chest
We use our penguin costumes
More than our evening dress
She said I should come over
Though the music's not my type
Don't you know I'd chop a limb off
Just to have a good time

We’re self imploding
Under the weight of your advice
I wear a suitcase
Under each one of my eyes

Finally I know now what it takes
It takes money and airplanes

Remember when I found a broken branch
and shoved it through your bicycle spokes
and how remorse quickly took it's stance
when you hit the deck and broke your nose

you were always the emo type
straightened hair matched to a bitter tone
well i dont care much for fashion or socialites

She used to get her kicks from a fall to the floor
But now she's always wasted
A total looker, but she's jaded
The kind of shivering wreck that I adore
I can't offer you a rescue
I can tell you what I'd do

I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly

I watch repeated wildlife shows to keep my mind ticking
but someone's _________ around my throat and watch my carcass disintegrate
I bought a book of Churchill quotes and i thought it might be interesting
At least it diverts attention from the things that we all know we should say

What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are
What a wonderful, distraction you are

Sometimes I like to go uptown
where flashy people flash around
It's extortion and I don't care
you can taste the desense in the air
And I, I wonder where you were tonight
The shiny black dress with the sleeve to the side
Is it a fantasy that I should think
Someone like you could love a creep like me?!
