Life's quite a lonesome battle
Especially if you've been
Picking a fight with yourself in the mirror again
Don't try and test your mettle
One side will never win
Picking a fight with yourself in the mirror again
First time, you're loving the world you're in
Second time, you're your only friend
Third time, you're fighting the mirror again
You'd save a year or seven
If you banked the time you spend
Picking a fight with yourself in the mirror again
First time, you're loving the world you're in
Second time, you're your only friend
Third time, you're fighting the mirror again
Sitting alone, uh-oh, you were minding your business and then
Started picking a fight with yourself in the mirror again
Life's quite a lonesome battle
Especially if you've been
Picking a fight with yourself in the mirror
Picking a fight with yourself in the mirror
Picking a fight with yourself in the mirror again

Not Ordinary

Something's bothering me and I don't know what it is
Something's bothering me but I don't know what it is
If you find out, let me know
When you tell me, tell me so, tell me so
Someone's following me and I don't know who it is
Someone's following me but I don't know who it is
If you find out, let me know
When you tell me, tell me so, tell me so
Why d'you have to be so lairy, you're not ordinary
Why d'you have to act so scary, you're not ordinary
Something's triggering you and I don't know what it is
Something's much bigger in you and I don't know what it is
If I find out, I'll let you know
When I tell you, I'll tell you so, tell you so
Why d'you have to be so lairy, you're not ordinary
Why d'you have to act so scary, you're not ordinary
And if I had to count all the times that I'd thought about you...
I'd have to count to two
Why d'you have to be so lairy, you're not ordinary
Why d'you have to act so scary, you're not ordinary
Why d'you have to be so lairy, you're not ordinary
Why d'you have to act so scary, you're not ordinary

Remember, Remember
04:03

It happened in the middle of September
I was trying to 'marry' someone, whose name I can't remember
She said she must politely decline
I said "that's fine, it happens all the time
And anyway, I don't really want you anyway
I don't really need you anyway
I think you'll find it passes the time
And time blows gently on a face like mine"
So when you're running to hide, remember what you said to me
And when you finally decide, remember what you said to me
In the morning, in the morning, remember what you said to me
In the morning, in the morning, remember, remember
She said she liked to worry for tomorrow
She carries round her problems in a bucket full of sorrow
I said "that must be heavy to bear"
And she said "yeah", and so I left it there
But anyway, I don't really want you anyway
I don't really need you anyway
I think you'll find it passes the time
And time blows gently on a face like mine
So when you're running to hide, remember what you said to me
And when you finally decide, remember what you said to me
In the morning, in the morning, remember what you said to me
In the morning, in the morning, remember, remember
'Cause blinded by the lights you're out to get me
Tomorrow you'll deny you ever met me
Frail, from another tall tale
Sticky ends and stormy weather
Perhaps we're meant to be together
So when you're running to hide, remember what you said to me
And when you finally decide, remember what you said to me
In the morning, in the morning, remember what you said to me
In the morning, in the morning, remember, remember

You've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
You've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
You've gotta fight, fight if you want it right
Sometimes I wake and I wonder, if we're living on the same dry land
With your airy, fairy, scary mission that you think you've planned
And through the fire and the thunder, and destruction with a sleight of hand
You only keep going under, but you never seem to understand
You've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
You know you've gotta fight, fight if you want it right
How many times have I told you, you never listen to a word I say?
All that pride deep inside keeps holding you from trying it another way
How many times have I told you, and then you leave it for another day?
That's one more than before and I'm sure that you could never do it anyway
Because you haven't got the fight
You've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
You know you've gotta fight, fight if you want it right
Sometimes I wake and I wonder if we're chewing on the same black air
I keep-a-knocking and knocking and knocking and there's never anybody there
And through the fire and the thunder, you know the sun he never gets nowhere
We only keep going under, and you never really seem to care
You've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
You know you've gotta fight, fight if you want it right
You've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
And you know you've gotta fight, you've gotta fight if you want it right
You know you've gotta fight, fight if you want it right

A Strong Feeling
03:50
|
|||
Life moves a little fast, to keep dwelling on the past
I've got a strong feeling, we've done enough of that
You're never gonna grow if you, keep doing what you know
I've got a strong feeling, that's never gonna go
I hold you dear, but since you ask
You hid your fear behind that mask
But there'll be time, if you want it
To realign, if you want it
If you've got no time, you borrow some of mine
And there'll be time, if you want it
To find your spine, if you want it
If you've got no spine, you borrow some of mine
You've got a lot of class, you might be too easy on the gas
I've got a strong feeling, that's never gonna last
I'm doing what I'm told, you put your sign up and I was sold
I've got a strong feeling, that's never growing old
I hold you dear, but since you ask
You hid your fear behind that mask
But there'll be time, if you want it
To realign, if you want it
If you've got no time, you borrow some of mine
And there'll be time, if you want it
To find your spine, if you want it
If you've got no spine, you borrow some of mine
Remember when you were young
You had a hunger and held it, pretty much together
Now your well weathered, half leathered fear is always near
I hold you dear, but since you ask
You hid your fear behind that mask
But there'll be time, if you want it
To realign, if you want it
If you've got no time, you borrow some of mine
And there'll be time, if you want it
To find your spine, if you want it
If you've got no spine, you borrow some of mine
You borrow some of mine
You borrow some of mine

One More Than Anyone
03:32

Shine shine with the summer sun, I want more than anyone
Bake bake me I'm underdone, I want more than anyone
One more than anyone, but I can't seem to get it done
One more than anyone, this race is never run
Hide hide me 'cause here they come, I've no time for anyone
I'm blind minded and overhung, I've no mind to get it done
No time for anyone, but I've no mind to get it done
No time for anyone, this race is never run
And if I see you out tonight, I'll tell you it's all alright
But then I'll swallow when you're gone
But if I see you in a crowd, spilling your thoughts out loud
You'll never see me 'til I'm gone
Shine shine with the summer sun, I want more than anyone
Bake bake me I'm underdone, I want more than anyone
One more than anyone, but I can't seem to get it done
One more than anyone, this race is never run

Different Times
02:13
|

Are you having a meltdown again, in front of all your friends?
Are you dialling it up to the hilt, then burning all you've built?
Before I read the signs, I might've felt unkind
But now I've changed my mind
'Cause these are different times
I'm sure you'll fit in fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
Are you fishing for favours again, then not returning them?
Are you sharpening up your amends, then filing down the ends?
Before I read the signs, I might've felt unkind
But now I've changed my mind
'Cause these are different times
I'm sure you'll fit in fine, fine, fine, fine, fine
If you're clinging onto something that you hated all along
Easier to cling than to admit that you were wrong
Put it in a box or you can put it in a song
Maybe you'll oblige and make it rhyme
'Cause these are different times
I'm sure you'll fit in fine, fine, fine, fine, fine

I Think I Understand
02:53

I wasn't much of a villain, until I stole your heart
I wasn't much of a victim either, until you blew my world apart
I wasn't much of anything, until you took my hand and now I,
I think I understand
I wasn't much of a looker, until I caught your eye
I wasn't much of a question either, until you answered where and why
I wasn't much of anything, until you took my hand and now I,
I think I understand
I think I understand
And if we fight again, it's only right that I let you win
As long as I know you know, normally the winner though would've been me
'Cause I don't lose easily
I wasn't much of a player, 'til you gave me a part
I hadn't much of a finish either, until you showed me where to start
I wasn't much of anything, until you took my hand and now
I think I understand
I think I understand
I think I understand
Well almost anyway

Put your light on, put your light on
I find it hard to justify, but justify I must
If I can write on and get the fight on
I find it hard to lust after a dream that's full of rust and I said
"How did it ever get to this time, when we've had no time at all?
How come we've only got a few feet left to fall?"
Set your mind on, set your mind on
Everything you meant to say and went to say that slipped away
And write on, and get your might on
Be everything you meant to be and spent to be and leant to be but
How did it ever get to this time, when we've had no time at all?
How come we've only got a few feet left to fall?
You only love me when you're lonely, and you're lonely only half the time
You only love me when you're lonely, then you phone me, and you cross the line
And we'll go on and on 'til one of us is gone
And we'll go on for far too long
And we'll go on and on 'til one of us is gone
The same old singer, same old song
You only love me when you're lonely, and you're lonely only half the time
You only love me when you're lonely, then you phone me, and you cross the line
You only love me when you're lonely, and you're lonely only half the time
You only love me when you're lonely, and then you phone me...

Bored Of Being Ignored
03:25
|
|||
Are you bored of being ignored?
Living a life you can never afford?
And finding your way, is harder each day?
You say you're tired and never inspired
You think it's time that the world was rewired
Well now your wrath is incurred, flip 'em the bird and say
I'm bored of being ignored
I'm bored of being ignored
I'm bored of being ignored
I'm bored of being ignored
