Life Is Never...

It's not a God given right
To do what you want throughout your life
And if the public think you're shite
There is a chance, that they might just be right
It's not a God given right
To get where you want without a fight
But if the fight goes on too long
There is a chance, to fight might just be wrong
All alone with that hangdog look on your face
Missing home 'cause you can't keep up
With the real world and its real world pace
Life is art and art is song
And song is heart and right is never wrong
Life is art and art is song
And song is heart and life is never long

Can I get a word in?
I don't know where to begin
But you can iron your pride
And you can set the paranoia aside because
You're not the girl in this song
And if you think you are then you'd be wrong
No, you're not the one I despise
And if you say you are that would be lies...such lies
I see you're whining again
Like you're my only friend
Walking round like a star
Thinking you're more important than you actually are
Well ha ha, you know it's nice to belong
And frowning never seems to stop you singing along
But you're wrong, and if you keep going on
I'll have to put you in the next one
But you're not the girl in this song
And if you think you are then you'd be wrong
No, you're not the one I despise
And if you say you are that would be lies
And lies are bad, they drag me down and leave me sad
They tear me up inside
Liars, they're the one thing that I, just can't abide
I just can't abide...
I wouldn't do that to you would I?
I couldn't do that to you could I?

Kissy Kissy
02:35
|

|
On and on and on, we go on and on
Not even stopping for breathing
My only worry now, or nearly anyhow
Is what to do when you're leaving
Now we'll never be alone (no we'll never be alone)
Now we'll never be alone (no we'll never be alone)
Kissy kissy kissy kissy kissy
Kissy kissy kissy kissy kissy
Everything you say, everything you've heard
I'm hanging onto your every word
I don't care how trite you are, I'll say how right you are
And all our friends will think we're so absurd
One day our feet will hit the ground
(But until then we're safe and sound)
One day our feet will hit the ground
(You'll hear them land for miles around)
Kissy kissy kissy kissy kissy
Kissy kissy kissy kissy kissy
But would you say if I was wrong?
Would you slate me in a song?
Would you cry if I was gone?
Would you diet for me?
Would you swap me for your friends?
Would you say this never ends?
This never ends...never, never

Keyboard warrior, smartphone gangster
Enjoying the role you've found on the moral high ground
Well it's a long way down and your sneer won't save yer
From the cold hard ground of your snide behaviour
Free speech is brilliant until someone disagrees
You're so resilient, that you fall down crying on your knees
Oh please!
Keyboard warrior, the next world power
Spreading the hate you hide when you venture outside
Well it's a long way home but the truth will find you
And now you're on your own, you'd better look behind you
Free speech is brilliant until someone disagrees
You're so resilient, that you fall down crying on your knees
Oh please!
Are you all for a social media civil war?
Would you adore a social media civil war?

Rub It Off
03:22

Don't get me high on a notion
Don't make me feel emotion
Don't get me high on the notion that I might succeed
Don't get me high on a feeling
That I might just believe in
Don't get me high on the feeling that I might be free
And when the deed is done, it won't matter to anyone
And when the deed is done, you'll see
Then rub it off on me
Don't let me dream all alone now
I've got to get there somehow
Don't let me dream all alone now, you're a hardy breed
Yeh you're as hard as they come now
We've only just begun now
Yeh you're as hard as they come now, rub it off on me
And when the deal is done, it won't matter to anyone
And when the deal is done, you'll see
Then rub it off on me, oh rub it off on me
Well if it's wrong or if it's right
You never seem to sleep at night
Well it's free to believe
So when you finally see
Rub it off, rub it off on me
And if you find it, would you mind if if I had a little please?
And if you find it, I wouldn't mind if I had a little please.

Note To Self
03:20

I wondered when you'd show, and stick your oar in
You're still the you I used to know, just a bit more boring
I met a friend we shared, for half a summer
She said she hadn't cared, when you changed your number but
She wasn't very happy when I said it was over now
She wasn't very happy when I said you were older
And that all your bright ideas
Had led to nothing through the years
So I told her you'd retired, to watch the telly
And how there wasn't any fire, left in your belly but
She wasn't very happy when I said it was over now
She wasn't very happy when I said you were older and
I had to save me from yourself...

Loretta

My hairdresser's called Loretta, she owns an angry heart
I'm awfully glad I met her but I wouldn't want to see her start
She owns a fat Lambretta and an even fatter arse
I'm awfully glad I met her but I wouldn't want to break that heart
She asks "is that alright?"
And just to be polite
I can't tell her it looks like shite
I just do it myself again tonight
Because she's big enough to bounce me off the wall
And that would not be all
And she's hard enough to have me in a brawl
And that would not be all
I never feel the need to tip her, but she bears me no ill
She's always pretty chipper, but it's probably just the happy pills
She likes to talk for hours about the deeds that she has done
Then she'll show you a picture saying "here's what you could've won"
I sit at home at night
Beneath the mirrored light
Wondering if one day might
Loretta actually get it right?
Because she's big enough to bounce me off the wall
And that would not be all
And she's hard enough to have me in a brawl
And that would not be all
It pays you plenty to know your wrong from right
You must be nice, you've got to be nice
Her cupboard's empty, but I won't pay the price
She's gonna bite, she's building up an appetite
She'll bite, she's building up an appetite
Because she's big enough to bounce me down the hall
And that would not be all
And she's hard enough to have me in a brawl
And that would not be all...

Somebody Love Me
03:18

Self pitying clown, schlepping round the provincial town
Fifty seven with five chins, and nobody wins
You're spilling out of your chair, there's a bigger one over there
Oh save me, save me from the laissez-faire
Tell me tales of your youth, then start again and try to tell the truth
Never hugged as a kid, and now you're doing all you never did
Spilling onto the stage, with a tablespoon full of rage
Oh save me, save me from the lion's cage
You split your seam when you screamed "Somebody love me!"
Is it all a bad dream? "Somebody love me!"
I wasn't aware, it was anyone's job to care
Oh save me, save me from the laissez-faire
Throw me a line, throw me a line
Throw me a line and I'll tear it apart
Throw me a line, it doesn't have to be mine
And then I'll break a million hearts
You split your seam when you screamed "Oh no, somebody love me!"
Is it all a bad dream? "Oh no, somebody love me!"
I wasn't aware, it was anyone's job to care
Oh save me, come on and save me, come on and save me
From the laissez-faire

Ah you're breaking my heart, are you breaking my heart?
Well you're cruel and you're mean and you're tearing my scene apart
Well you're looking so good, when you're prowling the 'hood
Ah your smile really blows my mind and it boils my blood
I said you were brazen, you said you were shy
I said "Isn't that amazing?"
You said I could say goodbye
But you're breaking my heart
And when you borrowed my light you returned it and it was dark
(Oh-oh)
I said you were brazen, you said you were shy
I said "Isn't that amazing?"
You said I could say goodbye
But you're breaking my heart
And when you borrowed my light you returned it and it was dark
My poor half empty, aching plenty heart

Whatever Somehow
04:04
|
|||
|
On a walk through the clay glade, we said we'd never be gone
On a carpet of car park, we'd lark too weak to be strong
I hear you wondering and I see why
I hear you wondering and I see why you might
"It's a lovely day" we'd say, "Let's get bored by it all"
Beneath a ceiling of wide sky, we'd lie too short to be tall
Now watch the world as it stumbles by
Now you're in my world and my world can't decide
Was it the big plans by the beer light
Where the dark stands in a clear light
And whatever somehow, ever somehow?
Life in the back seat
Where your dreams melt on the warm street
And whatever somehow, ever somehow?
(Life can be over before it's begun you know)

Endsong
03:58

Life has filled you with despair
And taught you not to care about tomorrow
And life has led you to believe
There's nothing up your sleeve apart from sorrow
But it's not what you've got, it's how you lose it
And it's not where you've been, it's where you've gone
And it's not what you want, but how you choose it
That's how a hard earned love is won
Life has caught you on the wrong day
Rubbed you up the wrong way, dragged you under
And life has torn you from the bright lights
Stolen all your fight and sense of wonder
But it's not what you've got, it's how you lose it
And it's not where you've been, it's where you've gone
And it's not what you want, but how you choose it
That's how a hard earned love is won
And though these hard times bit you on the ass
These times will never last, these times were made to pass
And when those good days roll around the bend
They'll hold you like a friend, they'll find you in the end
I never told you what I meant to say
I never told you, does it matter anyway?
