- 9 Lives
May the Lord have mercy on me since I kicked him in the teeth
I said bye bye sinning days - fare thee well
Could have stopped at number two but there was so much left to do
Does cheating on her send you straight to hell
Phone wakes me up at three, a naked body lies next to me
Who slipped her the mickey - bye bye
Chorus:
- B.U.R.M.A
I know that you're out there
Born ready, but on the decline
To keep you from my thoughts
When we first broke the line
Do you remember like I remember?
Lost pursuits of excellence
The glory of the crowd
Lives of imperialists
- Bang Bang You're Dead
I knew all along
That I was right at the start
bout the seeds of the weeds
That grew in your heart
Self satisfaction for the factions
Who formed to tear us apart
Well I gave you the Midas touch
Oh you turned round and scratched out my heart
- Blood On My Shoes
You look smart but that's not enough
You need a course in attitude, nobody's fussed
You can spend all your days planning what to buy
And then the signs all spin around, you'll pay your debts in time
You wanna shake, shake, shake to fit in all that much
There seem to be holes in everything his cold hands touch
And we'll take, take, take and swallow the whole way down
- Blood Thirsty Bastards
The world seems out of touch now
I don’t get out so much
I don’t feel the same
In these bones anymore
My heels are all worn down
My loyalties are torn
I’m finding different paths now
- Come Closer
Hails to the chancers
As boredom kills like cancer
We need dreams
For the romancers
And I'm looking to you
Well, the life's so lonely
I need my one and only
- Deadwood
You got the world boy
This all you make it?
You had the choice lad
You wouldn't take it
The oldest charm
Only the best for you
And the years of my life,
- Doctors and Dealers
I don’t believe in anything
They tell me’s set in stone
They say that were together
But I’m sat here on my own
In the company of strangers
This trigger happy scene
Well if a heart do like a hind
Then there is nothing in-between
- Faultlines
The fights, they never end
Like the nights, they've taken me over
And yeah I get the fear
But I cannot be bothered
All this waiting is just hesitating for nothing
And the fault lines
And all the conjecture from both sides
- Gentry cove
Run they said to a promised land
Run and find us a helping hand
Don't come back till the sun is gone
Don't come back till the war is won
We all set out with our hearts in hand
A cold wind covered up a line in the sand
All so young
- Gin and Milk
I think to myself on uncertain terms
I put gin in my milk
To kill all the germs
As I pray for the day
The light will return
And I pray for myself
But I never learn
No I never learn
- Hippy's Son
I am a hippy's son
I'm into porn and guns
I’m virile fertile
Scream when I come
Related to you all
By six degrees
I am a fire sign
- Holly Golightly
If you were my mirror
, I'm narcissus
If you were my mirror
, I'm a narcissist
So go lightly now holly,
And give us a kiss
If you swear on your left hand
That you'll be mine
If you swear on your left hand
- If You Love a Woman
I’ve been chasing a dream
Round a dirty little room
I’ve been lacing up my coffee
and screaming at the moon
Its no good for my health
I cant rate-rape myself
And if I can shake off this feeling
Then I’ll be there with you soon
- Kicks Or Consumption
After a month our friendship wained
Cos your ambitions to a fault
Why did I let you in my brain?
Just look in these western eyes
[Chorus]
I've been lost a time or two
Not knowing what is evil, oh
- Last Of The Small Town Playboys
To think that the last of the small town playboys was a little bit like me
Hold on
Well what could that mean?
Well Im still looking around for leads
Cos when it comes to playboys
Small towns are bursting at the seams
England’s getting fat
But this suit is wearing thin
- One To My Left
Did you ever have to do the thing you swore you'd never do
Something filthy and impatient
Something churlish, bold and shrewd
Sit down my boy and I'll tell you exactly how I crawled right through
Gathering your confidence and hear the story of a man who came undone
First you weigh up your commitments, where your loyalties really lie
And if you bump into Jesus, you just look him in the eye
- Panic Attack
If you wanna die
Go on and commit suicide
You wanna live I know
You gotta get ’em by the throat
If you wanna die
Go on, keep commiting suicide
You wanna live don't you?
Well I do too
- Plastic Hearts
You sauntered off and you said how’s tricks
You can’t mix drugs with your politics
So we took and talked and lost the plot
And after that everything seemed fine
And as it stings and beautiful collide
We watch each others worlds ride under the tide
With intoxicating hands
Cold cold hearts
- Radio Song
Put your arms around me girl cause I don t know what to do
I'm spinning on a sixpence cause I m still in love with you
We were vagabond souls put together sniffing glue
Your radio songs were all I really knew
Did you think I had a wind up heart?
You must have had plastic head
Did you think I had to play the part
- The Enemy
So far dishonest as the day is long
Im sorry so I’ll go now
But I love you so it wont be long
And the spectres in the masonry remind us of the things that might have been
Isn’t it time you washed your face
It looks like a burnt out fireplace
And I am awash with memories
And worrying complexities
- The North
Four more rotations and no one will hurt
These are the things I dream of
I've been thinking through the drinking
Though my confidence is shrinking
That I might be fine
The North would be so proud of you
What would you do
- The Weekenders
so when we're in the dark
you won't even look me in the eye
i got surprises girl that you won't really like
but under motorways and on scaffolding
shared all our big ideas
but if it's not the way s'not the way
what am i supposed to say
- Tired Of England
How can they be tired of England?
They'll never know the England that we know
Never know where the ones with the dreams go, no
Never notice the skies with their eyes down low
We'll never be tired of England
United in rain in the cities
To channel the pain and the pity's woe
- Truth Begins
This is where the truth begins
Where teardrops glance the sallow skin
You lose your will
And I can lend you mine
The westway wall's
So tall and bleak
Reflect the words we dare not speak
- Wondering
We were so pretty now is this it
You and I are too young for this
No blood no lust or spit
But still there is something there to play upon
A flash of instant thereabouts youll miss it and its gone
But still its good to be in love with someone
When you’ve always had to be with no one.
- You Fucking Love It
She could never ever ever ever ever ever ever get it into her thick head
So when pretending ends she'll have scattered her friends
And she'll find she'll wake up dead
There's no card above receivers
Still its all so remote
Behind the bench at the rec
Where she lost fifty notes
(she says) ̢ہ"I used to have a future
