I opened my eyes this morning
Feeling like I'd died the night before
What did I drink and how I am still lying here?
It's days like these I miss my friends the most
And end up feeling like a ghost,
I check my pulse to make sure I'm still alive.
Yeah, nobody but you
- 3 Cheers For The Easy Life
It's only twenty hours ahead
But I'd rather be at home instead
I'll act as if I'm older, and wiser
And its not like i could ever lie to her
When she damn well knew it wasn't true
With a face that's turning a certain shade of blue
- Caro Padre
I arrived on time, in my mother's arms
And a name I didn't choose.
I was blinded by the white of the hospital,
And in that moment I was pure and absolute.
Little did I know the moment died when it was young,
When my father taught me half of right and wrong.
He washed his hands of trust and left us penniless
Before my brain had chance to learn his foreign tongue
- Cassiopeia
I blacked out ‘til the morning broke,
I was swallowing glass and inhaling smoke,
I lost my mind in a haze of cobbled streets and broken windows.
I managed to get away, for a minute or two,
to catch my breath, just long enough to catch sight of a man with a broken nose and a bandaged leg,
sleeping silently in a photo booth on the road where I caught a cab,
back through the heart of the tourist district and into our rundown, rented pad.
- Filthy Rotten Scoundrel
Every days' the same for me, people come and people leave
And every days' a game for me, I'm always losing willingly
I keep telling myself, keep telling myself to be grateful
But that's not good for my health, not good for my health
Maybe my expectations let me down and I'm too far off the ground
And I don't know what I've got 'til it's gone
No I don't know what I've got 'til it's gone
- Friends Like These
I got this feeling that we're gonna be alright
I know we're gon' be alright
The kids are alive and kicking, running for their lives
We've just been getting by on stupidly good looks
And spending time spitting out these stupidly good hooks
You'll never know friends like these
And you'll never know, you'll never know
- Hunstanton Pier
It was 2004 if I'm not mistake, when the poison hit my lips
And I haven't looked back since
I had friends back then and a PMA to match, we were young
And out of touch with the things we'd grow up to hate so much, in time.
Back when my hair was long and Phil was still alive
We spent our days trying to speak, to the girls that left us weak
But now I'm ageing badly and my friends' been laid to rest
- I Guess I'll Be Leaving Soon
yeah we sure as hell got it going on
and we sure as hell know all about it
I've yet to see the bad side
but I've been told it's there
but I don't ever feel like giving this up just yet
and to say I'm a scared is a safe bet,
and I wont let you forget
but I don't feel like ever giving this up just yet
- I Will Try
So I guess the table's turned
for the first time I can't find the words
to apologise for all the poor decisions and the lessons that I never learned.
'cause I've got friends that have lost their father and they're much stronger than me
I know people who live their lives in the shadow that they're trying to be
And I will try my best to find a smile
And I will close my eyes and say i'm not afraid
- I'm A Bore, Mostly
I spent most of my days neither sleeping nor awake
Watching pointless documentaries on tornadoes and earthquakes
Coffee keeps me going though It fuels my wandering mind
Wishing I was Kurt Cobain or Morrissey
It takes up most of my time
It shows with me losing my voice, it always seems a chore
My faith in music slowly disappearing more and more
These tattoos on my hands are there for life
- Leeches
You started staring at the walls again
And the pictures turned back into empty frames
Your sense will go before your looks will leave you
And in time the ones you love will all leave too.
No dreams are not how they seemed back when you were young
You lost your way and you couldn't overcome
The times you'd hide, what's been building up inside
- Little White Lies
Lately I've been wondering how these words would sound
If they were sung out loud instead of written down
Because this could be a letter, if I could find the pen and paper,
To tell you how I'll only let you down
If I had any heart left, I'd give it all to you
To make up for the time spent not telling the truth
- Nicotine And Alcohol Saved My Life
Dear brother I have never asked this much of you
could you please just take my other and show them how much I care
hiding under the blanket behind the chair
there's something that screams this seems so unfair
but we're all gonna feel better tomorrow
and that's a feeling that you can only borrow
just take a deep breath
- Oh Howard, You Crack Me Up
This back seat is making me sick
we're not done
oh yes we're far from done.
Just tell me that you love me,
and everything will be fine
hold me close until the impact has passed.
and I said it right
I said it loud
- R'n'Bullshit
I was born a few decades too late (yeah)
My bitterness increases by the day
And I left my heart in 2005
And since then I've been simply wasting time
I'll be fine losing friends and sleepless nights
and I'll be fine living through the years I left behind
- Sickago
Я был слишком длинным,
Перетаскивание
И все дело до стыда
Я был задушен сомнениями
И я только сам себя виноват
Проведенный год неуверенный,
Что я начал для
Я думал, это должно было уйти
- Smiles All Round - Single
So, where do I begin?
I woke up today
Dragged this broken suitcase through the rain
I've been searching for the inspiration
Got lost along the way
And you said before I left,
"James, don't you drink yourself to death"
Well my darling, I'm afraid I can't keep that promise
- Subterranean Bullshit Blues
Empty days and emptier nights always lead me to find
I'm waking up on the floor still coughing up blood,
Is it worth it?
But one more night won't hurt nearly as much as the pain in my side.
Because I can truly be whoever I want with this as my disguise
All I know is I'm wasting my time.
Yeah, all I know is I'm wasting my time.
- The Past Six Years
These days my friends aren't who they used to be
We were all sinners and drunks but now they're too mature for me
Because Mike's on daytime radio John played Reading & Leeds
And I'm still play the Purple Turtle at New Year's Eve'...
We are sick and we are tired
We're all fools and worthless liars
Young and unemployable
- The world or nothing
The street lights hurt my eyes,
More than usual tonight.
No sense of direction, my vision's blurred,
I think I'll lay down for a while.
But I don't have a bed of my own,
Just a space on someone else's.
No I don't have a bed of my own,
- This Town is Ours
I'm gonna tell you right now
We're gonna make it in this town
And when our eyes are heavy
We're gonna keep it steady
All our sights are set on the above
When the push comes to the shove
We have such divine inhibitions
I'm gonna tell you and you will listen
- Tuesday People
Nothing like you wish you were,
Your name is the only thing you're really sure of,
Sitting on the wrong side of 25.
You keep your problems buried oh so deep
Then wonder why you wake up crying,
At least the pain means you're alive.
Cause it's been months and you've had time
- Waves
Coming of age, after you blacked out my eyes
I have no light in the house of day
it's far too much to take after it's come to this
I can't just turn back the page anymore
I can't just turn back the page anymore
and after everything that I have fought
and tried and died not to be caught
- Whiskey
Smell of instant coffee,
Reminds me of the days when I,
Had other plans, other prospects,
Other ways of getting by,
Before this useless ink was drilled in, My tired skin,
There was life,
Behind my eyes,
See I'd of been a teacher,
- You Are Beautiful
where have you been
the smell of loneliness and the heartache
of distance is all we have left
and when your dress hits the floor its obvious,
its been well kept, its obvious
cos waiting for what seems a fuckin lifetime for a night with you
- Никотин и алкоголь спасут мою жизнь
Dear brother I have never asked this much of you
could you please just take my other and show them how much I care
hiding under the blanket behind the chair
there's something that screams this seems so unfair
but we're all gonna feel better tomorrow
and that's a feeling that you can only borrow
just take a deep breath
