Stuck In The Swing

There's a story in all of you
Sometimes one too many
First and last, we dug up the past
Helped ourselves to plenty
Remembered how far
The curtain's up, stage is ours
You can say things are alright
Keep dancing around ourselves
Twisting bodies, twisted facts
Keep dancing around
Never say the same thing twice
That's your only mistake
You never said the same thing twice
Could this be any more fake?
This Earth's like a son
We'll choose the next one
You can say things are alright
Keep dancing around ourselves
Twisting bodies, twisted facts
Yeah things are alright
Stood in the corner waiting for a leader
Backs are turned and we're ready to feed
Stuck in the swing, I like what I see here
You've got what I know I don't need
Yeah we're stood in the corner waiting for a leader
Backs are turned and we're ready to feed
Stuck in the swing, I like what I see here
You've got what I know I don't need
You can say things are alright
Keep dancing around ourselves
Twisting bodies, twisted facts
Help me up off the ground
Twisting bodies, twisted facts
Help me up off the ground
Help me up off the ground?

Foolproof Plan
03:00
|

|
Back in the attic and under the stars again
Day or night the sea is on your mind
Miss you when you're gone
Never waiting for the tide
The way the that you keep breathing
The way you're always breathing
Picking up the cards to put them down
Like the Christmas lights that brighten up the town
I'll still be your friend
Even after you have gone
So don't avoid the feeling
That one of us is leaving
Give me a foolproof plan
Glooping curtains keeping the windows warm
Like a broken bottle melting in a swirling fire
Fumbling words are tumbling from my torn and tattered brain
Glowing faces cheered by mesmerising laces
The do's already done i'll do again
The dues already paid are due again
We're on the fourteen-hundredth and thirthy-seventh page
And they're scooping out your eyes
While Lily's gently swinging
Give me a foolproof plan

Wormbait

Was it always your stale complexion
Or your limitless liability
That was almost always part of the plan?
Even she'd feel bad when she missed her
But she only remembers the first time she kissed her
Wouldn't tell you you're worst
But she'd say you're the first
Put on your red shoes and
Put on your free head
All it would take is you
She's asking me for answers I don't know but
She strikes me as walking wormbait
Swimming sideways on upside-down waterfalls
With a reckless adieu
I'm guessing she was the one that you muscled into?
Sometimes it's all the wrong people
Sometimes it's just the wrong time
Sometimes, everything's perfect and still gets declined
Put on your red shoes and
Put on your Free Hat!
All it would take is you
She's asking me for questions I don't know but
She could just be walking wormbait
Things could be so easy
Line turns to a circle
And there's nothing that we have to proove
Put on your red shoes and put on your freak head
All it would take is you
She's asking me for answers I don't know but
She could still be walking wormbait
Put on your red shoes and put on your freak hat
All it would take is you
He asks for answers to questions I don't know but
He could soon be walking wormbait.

There's a long way to go
But at least you know what you're thinking
If you stay that's a way
that at least you don't have to leave
You got it in your head....... if we empty the barrels
Then you're going to lay down and pick it up
If you want to let go
Let them know that you've poured out some courage
If we're flexing our necks
Keep your knees where your feet should be
Got it in your head....... if we empty the barrels
Then you're going to lay down and pick it up
Well if it's sending a sign
then it's taking it's time very sweetly
Whatever you're meant for has knocked at the wrong door again
Got it in your head that the barrels are all empty
Whatever you put down someone's picked up.

Number Twentyfive

If I could just hold your hand for a while
Rest my head on you, make you smile
Gotta keep getting me up
You gotta keep getting me off
At Number Twentyfive, that's where i spent the night
And then you call me on the phone
Tell me that you are at home and then you ask:
"What do you wanna do?"
What do you wanna do?
I just wanna be a single page in your diary
Just like Mr. E before
Gotta keep getting me up
Gotta keep getting me off
At Number Twentyfive, that's where i spent the night
And then you call me on the phone
Tell me that you are at home, you ask:
"What do you wanna do?"
What do you wanna do?
I want you
In your bedroom
With no clothes on at all
Wrap things up and get the hell out of this town
Come on Grandpa keep your foot off the grass.

The Day I Tasted Shotgun

Plug me in so you can turn me on
I didn't realise 'till you'd gone
What me is that you can mean to me
I live with people I don't see
It sounds like you need someone to come and cheer you up
I don't think that someone could ever be me
The Christmas sock girl's looking straight at you
Her pants-on-show look, that's been copied by a few
I know she loves him, slapstick, her choice is free
But don't you think she'd be better off with me?
It sounds like you need someone to come and cheer you up
I don't think that someone could ever be me
She's got an Uzi
She's just a floozy
She's an oozing floozy, yeah
Plug me in so you can turn me on
I didn't realise 'till you'd gone
Don't go thinking it's a rebound, mozzarella, you'd be wrong
This stuff's been building
For a long, long, long, long
Long, long, long time
Sounds like you need someone to come and cheer you up
I don't think that someone could ever be me
It sounds like you need someone to come and cheer you up
I don't think that someone could ever be me.

Dinosaurs at the door, in a future war
What are you?
I'm a tool
Shirt sleeves must be around here somewhere

I wanna write a crap song
Got to write a crap song
This is a crap song
This is a crap song
Doesn't have to be too long
Doesn't need to rhyme
Just a really crappy song
Don't spend too much time on it, shit
Wanna write a crap song
Got to write a crap song
This is a crap song
This is a crap song
All you need is two verses
This is not a masterpiece
Maybe just repeat the first
Take a dump
Big-assed sheet, fine!
Wanna write a crap
Gotta write a crap song
This is a crap song
This is a crap song
Clean the toilet when you're sittin'
Clean the toilet when you're shittin'
Clean the toilet when you're sitting
Clean the toilet when you're shitting
Doesn't have to be too long
Doesn't need to rhyme
Just really a crappy song
Don't waste too much time on it, shit
Wanna write a crap
Need to write a crap song
This is a crap song
This is a crap song
This is a crap song
This is a crap song
This is a crap song

Faster Feet

Take the time you need to get it done
Ignore all the distractions as they come
Focus on your task now concentrate
Goals are there to keep you moving on
De-stagnation breeds a living flow
Don't allow the fear to infiltrate
This is about you, no-one else
This is about you and no-one else
Picking up the pace with falling feet
On your way to save your only soul
A plan is born, inaction dissipates
This is about you, no-one else
This is about you and no-one else
Diving in the deepest water
What's the big idea?
This is not about you or anyone
This is not about you or anyone
This is not about you or anyone
This is not about you or anyone
This is about you and me and all of us
This is about you and me and all of us.

Your existence building to this point
Fast tracks for losers, slow crawl for choosers
Anything but silence from now on
Bad dream well here it is
Bad dream well here it is
Bad dream well here it is
Enough of the plans, time to make something of it
All the ideas have floated downstream
Now I've caught up with them, try to put them in their places
Bad dream well here it is
Bad dream well here it is
Bad dream well here it is
Enough of the plans, want to make something of it?
Bad dream well here it is
Bad dream wow here it is
Bad dream well here it is.

Giving Up The New
04:58

There's no goal, none at all
I'll only catch you if you start to fall
In control, in control, out of control
If no-one's here it's 'cos they're all at home
Everything to say and everything to do
Taking up the old
Giving up the new
Spends her time like a parasite
Living her life with a hypocrite
Always be wrong if I say that you're right
Accelerate towards the afterlife
Everything to say and everything to do
Taking up the old
Giving up the new
Leaving all our earthly faults to the gravedigger
Complications that would make a wise man snigger
All we can hope for is to be more facts & figures
Dead on arrival after pulling your own trigger
Everything to say and everything to do
Taking up the old
Giving up the new
Everything to say but there's nothing left to do
Taking up the old
Giving up the new
In control, out of control
Out of control.
