Epiphanies & Wastelands -
All words and music written by Pete Haley*
Same To Me -
Walking down a terraced row, red brick houses all in rows
Splattered paint, ripped up curtains, broken windows
Angry BNP men screaming out their frustration, waving their signs that warn about an invasion.
And you say “What man?” and they’re screaming
“Just look around!
Damn Islamic immigrants are filling the town
Building up ghettos they don’t want no intergration
They serve their own culture while they’re exploiting the nation!”
I shook my head, said there’s a reason that they all stick together
In a foreign land with your people close by it’s better
So what they keep to themselves and keep their kids scared of Satan
But in a couple of years you know those kids will turn native
And it’s a long road back to strict and old behaviour
When you move for the money, the money just has to change you
Organised religion ends in spiritual failure
The Mosque will stand empty just like the Church of Your Saviour.
(Chorus)
And everybody looks about the same to me
Everybody sounds about the same to me
Calm down try to make some sense of it
I think you’re missing what my message is
I just said everybody looks about the same to me
Everybody sounds about the same to me
Calm down try to make some sense of this
I think you’re missing what my message is.
And you can see it, feel it, read it in papers
The fear spreads, people dread, then become haters
And that’s the way the government would like you to feel
So you don’t question all the killing in the countries we steal
And right wing Britain feels so threatened by Muslim Asia?
They fill a few streets, but can you call them crusaders?
It’s the media decieving ya with tension that they’re feeding ya
While all the nation’s main news stations filter what they read to ya
To stop this, block this, manifestation;
Of a planet with no borders and a world with one nation
And all those right wing wallies, say unity is folly
And everything they do and say is gonna make us sorry
So I thought about it all a lot, dreamed I reached a mountain top
Looked up to the heavens and cried out if there is a God
Could you help, could you help with this?
I think we’re missing what your message is!
(Chorus)
And God said
“All you Motherfuckers look the same to me, All you motherfuckers sound the same to me.”
“Calm down try to make some sense of it, I think you’re missing what my message is.”
And God said
“All you motherfuckers look the same to me, all you motherfuckers sound the same to me.”
“Calm down try to make some sense of this, I think you’re missing what my message is.”
(Chorus x 1)
Glass, Brick & Stone -
Oh no everything’s wrong, I’m sitting on a doorstep and I know that it won’t be long
Before some lunatic comes out and has a fit cos they don’t want me there
I might not look legit but that don’t mean a thing and I don’t like that stare, no no.
There’s nowhere left to go now and I’m the cliché fly stuck in your soup til you spit me out
But for a little bit, yeah just for a little bit, if I could hang around
Just for a little while, I swear a little while, no I won’t make a sound, no no
The rains and storms and pissy weather keep on flooding down
And there ain’t no good friends or no lovers left to turn to now
(Chorus)
So if you don’t mind it’s been a long night,
And if you don’t mind, no if you don’t mind
So if you don’t mind it’s been a long night,
And if you don’t mind, no if you don’t mind
Maybe noones figured it out and I can come and go just as I please because I’m well turned out
And I don’t lift or swim, but i could find a gym and try to clean up there
Cos there’s a lot of shit that I can put up with but not some greasy hair, no no
The rains and storms and pissy weather keep on flooding down
And there ain’t no good friends or no lovers left to turn to now
(Chorus x 2)
Mud In Your Eye -
Round my way there are some bad estates, the only words you say are sorry, goodbye and no.
Terraced wows close by the traffic flow the only world I know, it’s humble, but hey it’s home.
And everything’s all so familiar
You get scared, you won’t leave
And some leader speaks for me and millions
But he don’t live on my street
(Chorus)
And if you’d care to look left you’ll see why I’ve no hope
And if youd care to look right you’d see why I can’t cope
Moving through these empty broken streets the only thing you see is severance, regret and grief
From my room there is an ugly view the sky is grey not blue and there ain’t no change of scene
And everything’s all so familiar
You get scared, you won’t leave
And some leader speaks for me and millions
But he don’t live on my street
(Chorus x 1)
You better watch out where you walk now, you better bolt that door
You know they hang out on the corners they want to take what’s yours
You know they almost run the city, doing what they please, don’t be on the news at 6 man or the obituaries
Well if I had an army, marching by my side
maybe I could keep them back man, and I’d be home and dry
Leech -
You think you're like a Shark in the ocean, but in reality you're really a leech
And you're ripping off naive new performers, cos the higher levels always out of your reach
You know you gotta be so ruthless to do this, because they trust you and you know that they do
but when it comes to paying up what you owe them, that's when your true nature really comes into view
And when you tell 'em you won't cover their fuel costs, you shrug your shoulders like your all at a loss
but all their money lines your pocket and you know just where you got it, because you bled them dry and left 'em to rot
Sometimes I wonder why you live your life like this, I think you're jealous and you're bitter inside
because you've never been inspired, you're just a heartless liar all you do is steal, cheat and get high
Tell me, the last time that you smiled?
How come you're frowning all the time?
You might of tricked me and fooled me just for a little while, but now I'm wise to your little game
And you'd be right to look over your puny shoulders cos your massive debt is gonna get paid
(Chorus)
I’m not a parasite
I’m not a dirty cheat
I’m not a fool
I’m not some easy meat
So don’t even ever try
You know that I’m hard to beat
Go back to school
And learn how to earn your means
It don't matter how much liquor you're drinkin, because you know you can't escape, run, or hide
And you know that what you've done, and everything that you've become just feeds the self hatred you feel deep inside
So you try to drag us down to your level, to make us negative and lazy like you
Cos you've no faith in yourself, and you want everybody else to feel as shallow and as vain as you do
We know your budding performers, they're working hard just so that you can live nice,
But when they want something from you, you say they've yet to pay their dues, and you ain't never worked a day in you're life
Another thing about all this, the choices that you make don't make any sense.
Cos the bands won't stick around and you'll lose out on all those pounds because you tried to steal a few extra pence
Tell me, do you sleep well at night?
How come theres dark rings round your eyes?
You might of tricked me and fooled me just for a little while, but now I'm wise to your little game,
And you'd be right to look over your puny shoulders cos your massive debt is gonna get paid
(Chorus x 1)
I don’t believe you just did that
I don’t believe you just did that
I don’t believe you just did that
I’m gonna get me some payback
Payback, Payback
I can bide my time, I can bide my time
Payback, Payback
I can bide my time, I can bide my time
Face It -
I know a boy he’s got a cunt for a face
The kind of boy that you don’t want in your space
Im in his world taking risks every day
I know his girl and that’s as much as I’ll say
(Chorus)
The Mona-Lisa
has the most insistent gaze
But if he walked by
Her eyes would look away
I know a boy he’s got a heart like a snake
He’s got a voice, it’s just a noise that he makes
He’ll flash a smile, but it’s a copy of a fake
And you’ll get burned if you don’t learn right away
(Chorus x1)
Escalation might just get blood spilled
But I’ve never been tame
Confrontation is such a bitter pill
But I’ll swallow and say
Hey you – you’ve got a cunt for a face
Hey you – you’ve got a heart like a snake
Hey you – you’ve got a cunt for a face
Hey you – you’re just a copy of a fake
Her eyes would look away
Her eyes would look away
All For U.S -
All the masses need to get glasses
War on terror’s just a lie to strip the east of assets
Apachi gunships sweep patrols
Hunting down some rebels armed with sticks and stones
9/11 brought the fear, 9/11 paved the way
When it happened it just happened so that someone could get blamed
And you know it’s good, cos it’s all for U.S
Oil and gasses, bodies for the caskets
Blood and rubble, death and struggle, bullet-holes and ashes
White phosphorus lights the sky, burning militants and innocents side by side
And they don’t fight all fascist states, they don’t fight to keep home safe
They just fight with nations rich with resources they wanna take
And you know it’s good, cos it’s all for U.S
And we know it’s a lie, when we’re told the reason why
The news reports keep us blind, but we know deep down we all know
(Chorus)
All those bombs just won’t let up til theres no one left to care
All those bombs just won’t let up whoever told you life was fair
All those bombs just won’t let up and it’s more than I can bear
In my name, in my name
Tenets of Shariah Law widely misreported
Propaganda on Islam keeps everyone remorseless
Because they told us just how life would be
If we were beaten and then ruled by the mujahideen
An A10 warthog drops its’ load, sending five full families six below
And you know it’s good, cos it’s all for U.S
Steer the atlas, politicians ask us
To fund their fun until they’ve won from Baghdad to Damascus
Disasters, tribes without a master
And all the geeks on wiki-leaks just spill blood even faster
But don’t worry if you’re over-thrown
Cos a billion dollars rebuilds a lot of schools and roads
And you know it’s good, cos it’s all for U.S
And we know it’s a lie, when we’re told the reason why
The news reports keep us blind, but we know deep down we all know
(Chorus x 1)
If we don’t act now, someone will come and do it again
And we’ll all fall down, blood in the sand and fire in the sky
In my name, in my name
Apachi gunships sweep patrols
Hunting down some rebels armed with sticks and stones
And you know it’s good, cos it’s all for U.S
(Chorus x 1)
Plan C -
I hear you tellin and then sellin all your silly stories
and people buy them cos they’re just so action packed
You talk like gangs run the land in an evil army
Walking round in tracksuits out of council flats yeah, yeah
Maybe lower economic brackets
That’s the place the gangs inhabit
Yeah the bracket’s large but it doesn’t fill the map
I laughed so hard when I heard you play the protest card
Talking like the governments to blame for kids in gangs yeah, yeah
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies, let me tell you what’s a fact
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies let me tell you what you lack
I really hate you, I really hate you
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies, let me tell you what’s a fact
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies let me tell you what you lack
I really hate you, I really hate, hate, hate you
(Chorus)
All the pain that you promote makes it hard on the youth, hard on the youth
And you claim to share the load, but we all know the truth, we all know the truth
Now if the law of the land bans the common man
From owning guns then you really gotta ask
If it’s your government that made your kid a killer
Or did Billy turn to killing cos of something on a track yeah, yeah
Maybe all the youth have listened to a crime rhyme at one time
But ninety nine per cent don’t feel the need to re-enact
Criminal encouragement don’t come down from the government
But if they set the scene well the script now where was that yeah, yeah
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies, let me tell you what’s a fact
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies let me tell you what you lack
I really hate you, I really hate you
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies, let me tell you what’s a fact
So cut your lies I don’t need em I don’t want em no more
Cut your lies let me tell you what you lack
I really hate you, I really hate, hate, hate you
(Chorus x 1)
Janine -
Janine! I mean it, I mean it we cannot be friends
Janine! I mean it, I mean I’m moving out again
(Chorus)
I don’t really want to be around
I don’t really want see you now
Janine! I mean it, I mean it we are not the same
Janine! I mean it, I mean you better stay away
(Chorus x 1)
Oh all night, all night you can sit up waiting
All night, I won’t be back again
Janine! Janine! I mean it thou art not my friend!
Janine! Janine! I mean I’m moving out again!
(Chorus x 1)
Oh all night, all night you can sit up waiting
All night, but I won’t be back, I won’t be back, I won’t be back again
New Day -
Open the curtain, wide as the sunrise lights up the dust that swirls
Out of the window there’s a new morning, and everything starts to stir
Another new day is set before me,
and maybe today I’ll turn it round
I don’t round really feel like I should even have to say
When all my action speaks the truth so plain
(Chorus)
Hey what’s the use of faking its’ ok as your calm and severed words push me away
Hey what’s the use, hey what’s the use of waiting round til something breaks
I know my life aint perfect but so what I’ve got my self-respect
I don’t have loads of friends I suppose but the ones I have beat the rest
Everyone knows I’m in the corner, and everyone knows I try my best
I don’t round really feel like I should even have to say
When all my action speaks the truth so plain
(Chorus x 1)
Open the curtain, wide as the sunrise lights up the dust that swirls
Out of the window there’s a new morning, and everything starts to stir
Another new day is set before me,
and maybe today I’ll turn it round
(Chorus x 1)
Linoleum* -
('Linoleum' - words/music by Mike Burkett, arrangement by Pete Haley)
Possessions never meant anything to me
I’m not crazy well that’s not true I’ve got a bed
And a guitar, and a dog named dog who messes up my floor
That’s right I’ve got a floor, so what? So what? So what?
I’ve got pockets full of cleanex and lint and holes where everything important to me
Just seems to fall right down my leg, and on to the floor
My closest friend linoleum, linoleum!
Supports my head, gives me something to believe
That’s me on the beachside combing the sand
Metal meter in my hand, sporting a pocket full of change
That’s me in the street with a violin under my chin
Playing with a grin, singing jibberish
That’s me on the back of the bus
That’s me inside the cell
That’s me inside your head, that’s me inside your head
Rule Of Thumb -
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Well he was cruising up in the heavens just below the clouds
And now he’s looking out of his cockpit all around
Playing hide and seek with insurgents blessed with infra-red
Cos he’s a highborn high flying low-life reigning death
Watch out!
You know they let him!
Up there to get you!
And take you out of the game
(Chorus)
He got so bored of his life
He wants to take life just for fun
I guess he’ll always be top gun
Na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na
Well he was born and raised in a palace, groomed well for the throne
Without a want or need all his life, but still he moans
To join the teeth and claws of the nation mauling third world towns
And be the golden crown on the back row biting down
Watch out!
You know they let him!
Up there to get you!
And take you out of the fucking game
(Chorus x 1)
Deep Sleprivation -
All words and music written by Pete Haley
Big Bang -
Everybody listen up and learn this flow, till these elevated lyrics give you vertigo.
Everyone around me is so down its just profoundly wrong, that we don't realise life is perfect til we're almost dead and gone.
But everybody suffers so we need to know, we won't alleviate our pain til our awareness grows and there's so many people tellin’ us this big lie, that the only bliss in life is if you get high.
Taking chemicals to make the mind escape, people run away from pain and throw their lives away.
Life can really hurt but drugs don’t work they make it worse for us and I don't just mean for the addicts in the city sleeping rough.
Cos everywhere you look we make the same mistake, we demean our lives but it don't have to be this way. We don’t need intoxication to enjoy life, when all we gotta do is open up our third eye.
Everything is sure to change, and nothing lasts not even pain. Every breath we get to take, is one more chance to start again.
(Chorus)
The trouble is I take it all for granted everyday, I keep forgetting when it's gone it wont come back again. I waste so many moments thinking of some other time, but when I be the moment theres no way you can deny.
Theres something beautiful we all see, y’know a big bang made this bliss? How did a big bang make this bliss? Theres something beautiful we all feel, y’know a big bang made this bliss? How did a big bang make this bliss?
Man... everywhere you look you see a broken dream, and nothing ever really is the way it all could be.
All existence seeming without meaning there’s no reason clear and explanations purpose built for navigation don’t come near, cos off the map of the mind is where the answers lie.
The nervous system bringing a wisdom endless in supply, but we ignore it all to focus on our small minds, and then opinions suck us in and leave us all blind. Fooling with my phone on the bus ride back home, takes my mind away from the thoughts some stillness might provoke.
Everyday i’m racing to escape my situation fast but temporary relief from my restlessness don’t ever last, cos life’s a stormy sea you catch some wind and spray, staying dry below the deck just lands you in the waves, and there’s no education that can beat your own eyes not if you see these things the way they are at all times.
Everything is sure to change, and nothing lasts not even pain. Every breath we get to take, is one more chance to start again.
(Chorus x 1)
English Rainstorms -
And I said oh babe I wanted to show you my world.
Where the sun hides and grey skies look down on the earth.
There’s not much to see but there’s still beauty there, and it’s something I know we could share.
Oh but you told me your plan was to settle abroad.
Oh for the bleached sands and blue waves that lap distant shores, and before we first met it had all been arranged, but I was hoping your mind could be changed.
Ooh ooh I, I don’t believe in fate.
On no I hoped you could feel the same.
But now the days arrived, I’ve got to say goodbye because you’re on your way all set to board your plane.
(Chorus)
Oh heaven please fall now (Fall now)
Close all the skies (Skies)
Close all the skies (Skies)
Would my dear English rainstorm (Rainstorm)
Rain one more time (Time)
Close all the skies (Skies)
One time you showed me a shoebox all piled up with tapes, It made me smile when I saw that cos I do the same.
You know we listened the old way, yeah we just let them play and you asked what I wanted to say.
And I said oh baby, no baby, don’t baby go.
You know I’ve no right to ask if it’s all set in stone, because my timings all wrong and we just met too late, but you should know that I want you to stay.
Ooh ooh I, I don’t believe in fate On no I hoped you could feel the same
But now the days arrived, I’ve got to say goodbye because you’re on your way All set to board your plane
(Chorus x 1)
First time that I saw you girl, I really understood.
Why everyone adores you girl, you really are that good.
Oh it’s just your easy smile, and your charming way.
Oh maybe in another time we could meet again.
Only. Only. Only a delusion, my mind just won’t let it pass.
Here Comes My Favourite -
Words are written for me you wrote them all, wrote them all for me.
I saw you there and they came to be, I hear the sound of your harmony.
I hear the sound of your harmony and I feel alright, you know I feel alright.
I'm singin' hey did you wanna? Hey did you wanna hear me?
I said now, hey did you wanna? Hey did you wanna hear me?
(Chorus)
Here comes my favorite as I speak walkin' down my lonely street, catch my eye as you walk.
Don't think i've seen you round before but I want to see you more, would you mind if I called?
Oh yeah yeah yeah you were born, you were born for me.
I hear the sound of your harmony, I hear the sound of your harmony and I feel alright, you know I feel alright.
I'm singin' hey did you wanna? Hey did you wanna hear me?
I said now, hey did you wanna? Hey did you wanna hear me?
(Chorus x 2)
Higher -
Loving that flora fauna, loving that perfect bright blue sky.
I don’t believe in stress and trauma because today this day is mine.
So guess my game not narcotics, or no time spent tranquilized.
Cos there ain’t no pain in pure existence, if your game is tranquil life.
Well I feel a cool zen descending as I come to realise.
Everyday could be my ending, i’m gonna see my last sunrise.
Today i’m gonna live it, i’m gonna live it until I die because tomorrow is for sorrow and today i’m gonna smile.
Elevate my mind...
(Chorus)
Higher, you want to get a bit higher, do you want to get a higher, you want to get a bit higher.
Higher, you want to get a bit higher, do you want to get a higher, you want to get a bit higher.
Don’t you worry, don’t you worry. Don’t you worry, don’t you worry.
Toking that marijuana in my darkest desparate hour.
Then suddenly it comes to me i’m in love and I want to be so...
Boom!
Everybody get your body with my body, I can move now pot don’t stop me.
Gonna go where it don’t got me.
Ain’t livin’ in paranoia never let fear control my mind.
Don’t believe in stress and trauma cos today this day is mine.
So guess my game not narcotics or no time spent tranquilized.
Cos there ain’t no pain in pure existence if your game is tranquil life.
Elevate my mind...
(Chorus x 1)
Surrounded -
You like to trouble numbers that you double oh-oh Nothing like a rumble like a ruckus. Self-hate inner struggle taken out on others oh-oh.
Now you wanna make somebody suffer.
You know. You know. You know.
You need man power cos you’re just a coward oh-oh.
One on one is too much of a toss up.
Your hear is callous and your full of malice oh-oh.
Was it choice or just how you got brought up.
You wanna fight. Can’t rationalize. Won’t ask you why. Will just comply.
(Chorus)
I never had a problem taking the pain
I never had a problem taking the pain
I never had a problem taking the pain
I never had a problem taking the pain
Fantasize to justify your morbid life oh-oh.
Tell yourself that they all had it coming.
No self reflection or no introspection oh-oh.
Everyday that goes by you learn nothing.
Want more, yeah you want more.
Than I can give, than I can give.
Want more, yeah you want more.
Than I can give, than I can give.
You wanna fight. Can’t rationalize.
Won’t ask you why. Will just comply.
(Chorus x 1 )
Levity -
Never the best of hope no, never the best of hope oh can we get a bit of Levity?
To keep my head high, to keep my hair on.
Never the best of hope oh, never the best of hope oh can we get a bit of Levity?
To keep my head high, to keep my hair on.
I don't care where I go, It's all old now. Rain drips down my window, and it soothes me now. Over the edge I go, just don't look down. Another downer and I don't know, where I'll be found.
What if I, what if I, were to tell you something? I really think it might help. It's in your eyes, in your eyes, this is going nowhere, going nowhere. I'll keep it to myself.
Never the best of hope no, never the best of hope oh can we get a bit of Levity?
To keep my head high, to keep my hair on.
Never the best of hope oh, never the best of hope oh can we get a bit of Levity?
To keep my head high, to keep my hair on.
Sorrow and pretenders surround me now, Pretending they are members of elite crowds. Reflection often renders the mind in doubt, And daily they remember they feel left out.
What if I, what if I, were to tell you something? Really think it might help. It's in your eyes, in your eyes, this is going nowhere, going nowhere. I'll keep it to myself.
Never the best of hope no, never the best of hope oh can we get a bit of Levity?
To keep my head high, to keep my hair on.
Never the best of hope oh, never the best of hope oh can we get a bit of Levity?
To keep my head high, to keep my hair on.
Litterbug -
I drop my guard down, drop it like a litterbug, you can see my cards now, anytime you like. I can't control this, girl you must of noticed, I can't keep my feelings for you hidden or disguised.
And everyday I look around the same old place, it seems that you're the only face I really ever wanna see.
And all the trouble in my life would fade away, if you could find the time of day to stop and sit down next to me.
So if you'd only get to know me, we could take it slowly or quick if you prefer, and if you're lonely girl come hold me, you know that I won't be unconcerned.
I'm working hard now, trying to get you in my life, you know we could start now if you're free tonight.
I'm feeling foolish cos I never do this, but there's no way that I could let you go without a try.
I don't know, why you would notice me, I'm nothing much to see. But all my friends, they say you look my way, but they can't read your face.
So come on tell me, let me know If I'm with you or on my own? Just open up and let it show I need to find out where we stand now.
(Chorus x 2)
So come on tell me, let me know If I'm with you or on my own.
Just open up and let it show I need to find out where we stand now.
Baby, be mine. Baby, please be mine.
You drop my jaw down, drop it like a heavy rock, you could make me yours now, if you're so inclined.
It's been a good while since I seen so much style, girl it makes me feel so good to see you walking by.
And everyday I look around the same old place, it seems that you're the only face I really ever wanna see.
And all the trouble in my life would fade away, If you could find the time of day to stop and sit down next to me.
So if you'd only get to know me, we could take it slowly or quick if you prefer, and if you're lonely girl come hold me, you know that I won't be unconcerned.
I'm working hard now, trying to get you in my life, you know we could start now if you're free to night.
I'm feeling foolish, cos I never do this, but there's no way that I could let you go without a try.
I don't know, why you would notice me, I'm nothing much to see.
But all my friends, they say you look my way, but they can't read your face.
(Chorus x 2)
The Rant -
Coming from a small town, look at me look around.
I wonder where to walk now, there’s nothing here to talk about.
My life is small time all the time, my life is small time all the time over time.
A lot of people round here like to think they’re rolling in the big time got to get there shoe shined.
Everyday a new tie, everyday no daylight, got to get to work on time, you got to get to work on time.
It’s 9-5 all the time not to mention overtime.
Gonna nullify your mind, own your life until you die.
I think i’m sinking in the small time, do you feel me?
I think i’m sinking in the 9-5, do you feel me?
Bad thought drip from my brain, down my face and end up landing on my lyric page.
I really hate this place it always seems to block my way, even when I think I’ve got a real good thing to say.
I never say, my brain won’t ever let me write it straight because the strain is something heinous for my mind to recreate.
I think I’ve got an anus where I used to thought my brain is-talkin shit about the strangest wipe my face up on the pages.
(Chorus)
Foolish, stupid music Acting like a fool and music fueled it.
Foolish, stupid music Acting like a fool and music fueled it.
Take a look in my eyes, your so surprised i’m unstable, like i’m a freak in disguise my purchase is dis-enabled.
You got a meeting at five better ring ‘em while your still able.
I’m gonna tie you to the table with my microphone cable, build a pyre from your papers now you’re screamin’ and wailin’, beggin’ and prayin’ but now it only begins.
The perfect way to punish you for all of your sins.
I look around but i’m fed up of this set up of villains, they want you emerging to billions, converting minutes to millions.
I wanna jam man but the jams ran by the fat man, he don’t think I can so I gotta play the hang man.
(Chorus x 1)
Bad thoughts drip from my brain, down my face and end up on my lyric page.
I really hate this place it always seems to block my way, even when I think I got a real good thing to say.
I never say my brain won’t even let me write it straight because the strain is something heinous for my mind to recreate.
I think i’ve got an anus where I used to thought my brain is talking shit about the strangest, wipe my face up on the pages.
When i’m talkin’.. When i’m talkin’.. could you listen? could you listen? Cos I feel I must explain.
When you look at my brain would you maintain a straight face?
Hear the tape play great straight rhythm music.
Foolish. Stupid. Music. Acting like a fool and music fueled it.
Wanna get rich get a bitch and then you plan a bit.
Realise that the only thing you’ve done is smokin’ cannabis.
Wanna top the table but I don’t think you can manage it, your greatness is a fable only able to exaggerate it.
(Chorus x 1)
Through the Leaves -
Hey there, i’m getting soaked right through.
You must’ve heard me knock, i’ve been out here all day.
I heard you cough again.
Too bad, i’m talkin’ to a door.
Trying to find the words, something I could say.
To make you show your face.
(Chorus)
It’s alright now, it’s alright yeah, it’s alright now.
Too late, to show some saving grace.
You know all my tricks, I know all your games.
There’s nothing left to break.
Too bad, we’re getting older now.
Like the setting sun, on a wasted day.
Still got these dying rays.
(Chorus x 1)
Out, out in the moonlight.
Down under the trees.
Where the cold light hits the drops.
As they fall down through the leaves.
And I, I can’t believe it.
There’s nowhere to go.
And I know by now for sure.
This December will be cold
I’ve always had it too easy, I’ve always had it too easy.
Out, out in the moonlight.
Down under the trees.
Where the cold light hits the drops.
As they fall down through the leaves.
As usual, as usual.
As usual, as usual.
As usual, as usual.
As usual, as usual.
