Time To Wake Up
04:22
|
|||
Hide my face in smoke
To stop the face from staring
I'm half awake
I've tried to shake
The shadow that I'm wearing
Time to wake up
We're counting down to midnight
And you're making out it's a gaslight
That's why I'm turning up to this knife fight
With a gun and a shitload of dynamite
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
The temperatures are rising
And there's flames up on the horizon
There's no time left to be hiding
If I've got to go I'm going down fighting
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
If I've gotta go I'm going down fighting
The fires are gonna keep blazing
And the mobs are already raging
There's no time left to be wasting
There's a world that's gonna need saving
Time to wake up
Time to wake up
Time to wake up

Stuck
04:24
|
|||
In a rut that I can't get out of
Had a run of unfortunate luck
Knocked down and I'm losing count of
How many times I've had to get back up
Two feet that are made for standing
Two hands I can use as fists
But I'm weak and I'm not a fighter
And I'm old and I'm cold and I'm pissed
I was young, I was thin, I was gorgeous
I was out on the town for a laugh
Hadn't learnt how it felt to be nervous
How my chest closes up like a trap
There were women, there were wine, there was singing
There was me in the middle of it all
That was then and now I'm clinging
To the hope I haven't lost it all
Now
I'm standing taller
Now
I'm someone else
Now
I'm old and I'm wiser
Now
I can help myself
Now
I'm a proper grown-up
Now
I'm a real man
Now
I can cope with it all
But I'm tryna get out if I can
'Cause I'm stuck
And I wiggle like a fish on a hook
And they're all lining up to take a look
And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook
'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck
And I wiggle like a fish on a hook
And they're all lining up to take a look
And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook
And I wanna break free
And I kick and I scream
And I just can't leave
'Cause I'm stuck
In the past I was uber-cocky
Back then I didn't give a fuck
Always thought it would turn up roses
Never thought I would end up stuck
As a kid always dreamed of riches
Always thought I would reach the top
Just love and screaming stardom
Where the fans and the hits wouldn't stop
I was young, I was thin, I was gorgeous
Always knew it would take me far
Had the look, had the gifts and the talent
I was born for the life of a star
Reality's a cold, hard bastard
Brought me down to earth with a bang
Never thought it would end up this way
No one giving a fuck when I sang
Now
I'm standing taller
Now
I'm someone else
Now
I'm old and I'm wiser
Now
I can help myself
Now
I'm a proper grown-up
Now
I'm a real man
Now
I can cope with it all
But I'm tryna get out if I can
'Cause I'm stuck
And I wiggle like a fish on a hook
And they're all lining up to take a look
And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook
'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck
And I wiggle like a fish on a hook
And they're all lining up to take a look
And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook
And I wanna break free
And I kick and I scream
And I just can't leave
'Cause I'm stuck
I'm standing taller
I'm someone else
I'm old and I'm wiser
I can help myself
I'm a proper grown-up
I'm a real man
I can cope with it all
But I'm tryna get out if I can
'Cause I'm stuck
I'm standing taller
I'm someone else
I'm old and I'm wiser
I can help myself
I'm a proper grown-up
I'm a real man
'Cause there's a hundred million things
That I can think of in this world
That are worse than being stuck
Stuck
And I wiggle like a fish on a hook
And they're all lining up to take a look
And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm shook
'Cause I can't get away 'cause I'm stuck
And I wiggle like a fish on a hook
And they're all lining up to take a look
And I'm kicking and I'm screaming and I'm fucked
And I wanna break free
And I kick and I scream
And I just can't leave
'Cause I'm stuck

I Apologise
04:27
|
|||
I apologise
For what you said I never did
But there's a pain in my head
That I just can't shift
I hypothesise
All the things I could've said
I'm trapped inside just one head
With all that we have left
You left me sitting with a stupid smile
And a stupid hope that you'd be back in a while
Well I'm, I'm still sitting
And I'm still waiting
You left me thinking that I knew the score
Left me thinking I was top of them all
But I'm, I'm still thinking
And I'm still waiting
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
Any more
You left me sitting with a stupid smile
And a stupid hope that you'd be back in a while
Well I'm, I'm still sitting
And I'm still waiting
You left me thinking that I knew the score
Left me thinking I was top of them all
But I'm, I'm still thinking
And I'm still waiting
You left me waiting for an idea to dawn
And you left me thinking I was top of them all
And you left me looking for a character flaw
And you left me feeling like a two-penny whore
And you left me pushing an invisible wall
And you left me fighting an impossible war
And you left me standing blaming you for it all
And you left me wishing that you'd never ever gone
But this is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
He never wanted anything
Any more
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
Any more
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
This is a man
Who never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)
He never wanted anything
(You talk me down)
(You tire me out)

As Cold As December
02:53
|
|||
Oh God!
What a release
This wave has been building
For so many weeks
Oh God!
What a defeat
By taking your strength
Does that make me a thief?
My hard shell turns soft beside you
I lost my way and I tried to find you
My inner self is lost inside me
A ten-ton weight I drag behind me
I'm as cold as December
Oh God!
What a veneer
I could run for a thousand miles
And it'd still be too near
Oh God!
What a year
Can I put all my shit to bed
And start again here?
My hard shell turns soft beside you
I lost my way and I tried to find you
My inner self is lost inside me
A ten-ton weight I drag behind me
I'm as cold as December
I'm as cold as December

Anthropolitics
05:33
|

Is there anything I can do
Or say?
You're hollowed out
Like a shell
You don't know yourself any more
You've fallen out with yourself
And you're looking
For the trapdoor
You try and picture who you are
But it doesn't get much clearer
You try and focus on before
But it doesn't get you nearer
Is there anything I can do or say
To bring a smile to your face?
Is there anything you can think to try
To stop yourself from crying?
You're brave but you're drowning
In your tears
That still won't dry
Is there anything I can do
Or say?
Is there anything I can do
Or say?
And you see the light
But it's dull
Like light in a minor key
And you wanna fight
But you are done
And I can't see the enemy
You try and picture who you are
But it doesn't get much clearer
You try and focus on before
But it doesn't get you nearer
Is there anything I can do or say
To bring a smile to your face?
Is there anything you can think to try
To stop yourself from crying?
You're brave but you're drowning
In your tears
That still won't dry
Is there anything I can do
Or say?
Is there anything I can do
Or say?
Is there anything I can do
Or say?
Is there anything I can do
Or say?

Lord of the Flies '99
04:56
|
|||
Is this the revolution?
It's being televised
Or a hundred thousand hungry kids
Setting shit on fire
Jimi Hendrix fiddles
While around him Rome is burning
Bacchanalia has soured
And everything is turning
Ugly faces, naked bodies
Shit and mud and blood
'Cause a Fred Durst sermon
Isn't one of peace and love
The towers start to topple
Testosterone and bile
This isn't flower power
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's 1999
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's 1999
As the litter swirls and eddies
In the currents of the wind
And the sun beats down
As Willie Nelson starts to sing
Intoxicated, dehydrated
Young and drunk and full of fight
Nothing here escapes commercialism's bite
And as the medics patch them up
And send them back into the breach
Their fundamental needs remain for most just out of reach
The A-lists slink away
Full up on complimentary wine
This isn't flower power
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's 1999
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's 1999
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's 1999
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's 1999
Hijacking Fatboy Slim
Fire trucks, here come the police
"Fuck you, I won't do what you tell me!"
Smashing up ATMs
This really wasn't our intent
We wanted peace and love
We got Lord of the Flies '99
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's Lord of the Flies '99
It's Lord of the Flies '99
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
It's Lord of the Flies '99
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
(Fuck you I won't do what you tell me)
It's 1999

If I bang my head against this wall
Surely then I'll be getting nearer
I could drink so much that I can't talk
You don't understand me
You don't understand me
I fall asleep dreaming
Of what I am
And what I'm gonna be
I lie awake thinking
Of what you are
And what you'll be
What you are
And what you're doing to me
There are people on the outside
There are people on the outside
And they love me
If I bite my lip and cross my leg
Surely then I'll be getting closer
If I keep my tongue in my head
You don't understand me
Does anybody really understand me, yeah?
I fall asleep dreaming
Of what I am
And what I'm gonna be
I lie awake thinking
Of what you are
And what you'll be
What you are
And what you're doing to me
There are people on the outside
There are people on the outside
And they love me
You can't breathe
In the sunshine
It makes you weak
On the inside
Inside
They don't believe me on the outside
Do you believe me?
Do you believe me?

Love Squared
02:41
|

There was nothing you could do
Nothing you could say
It just turned out that way
There was nothing he could do
No way he could change
He was born this way
He should've been honest
Right from the start
She shouldn't have promised
Regarding matters of the heart
And maybe I
Should've just turned away
But each time I look at your face
I know that I'll take the blame
Well he had to do his thing
Had to have his way
Seize the day
And I had to say my piece
Had to have my say
It just works that way
He should've been open
And not let you down
She shouldn't have chosen
To mess me around
And maybe we
Should leave for a while
But each time I look in your eyes
I can't help but smile

Summer
04:11
|

I'm crawling into summer
The cold is in my bones
Just one foot then the other
I'll find my way back home
Just try to act like I'm ok today
Don't let them see that I'm a breath away
From tearing them asunder
And driving off the road
Never let you see me cry
Never let you hear me cry
Won't ever let you see me cry
I see it in the distance
Like a light amidst the dark
It's hard to tell the difference
First it's my bite then it's my bark
Who's the person I hate least today?
Try to keep them not too far away
Is there a single tiny instance
Of me not blowing things apart
Never let you see me cry
Never let you hear me cry
Won't ever let you see me cry
Never let you see me cry
Never let you hear me cry
Won't ever let you see me cry
Tell me now
Do you care that I'm falling?
'Cause there's no one to call in
I'll be back in the morning
Tell me now
Did you mean to offend me?
Or were you trying to unfriend me?
'Cause it's too late to mend me
So what is in the future?
Or whatever that shit means
Do I hide in my computer?
Or choose a different me?
There's always something getting in the way
Of being who I want to be today
And the cold it doesn't suit you
And I'm trying not to scream
Tell me now
Do you care that I'm falling?
'Cause there's no one to call in
I'll be back in the morning
Tell me now
Did you mean to offend me?
Or were you trying to unfriend me?
'Cause it's too late to mend me
Do you care that I'm falling?
'Cause there's no one to call in
I'll be back in the morning
Tell me now
Did you mean to offend me?
Or were you trying to unfriend me?
'Cause it's too late to mend me
Never let you see me cry

He sits and he sings about her
She thinks of him without her
Because she's 200 miles
200 days away
He's sung it too many times
200 times today
Clara!
Don't ever turn out the light
Turn out the light
On our love
Don't ever turn out the light
Turn out the light
On our love
We'd be forever in the dark
Forever in the dark, Clara
We'd be forever in the dark
Forever in the dark, Clara
Clara!
Clara!
Clara!
Clara!

Say So
04:24
|

I never wanted to be
Self-deprecation doesn't become me
I never wanted to feel
Your legacy surrounds me
If you want me to go
Say so
If you want me to stay
Say so
If you want me to be somebody else
All you must do is say so
I never wanted to see
The waves of your love
Come crashing around me
And I never wanted to leave
The silence is awesome
And it makes me weak
If you want me to go
Say so
If you want me to stay
Say so
If you want me to be somebody else
All you must do is say so
I never asked you to be
Anything else
But you never believed me
I never told you, you see
The things I admired
You never deceived me
You never asked me to be
The opposite of him
Or the opposite of me
You never made me believe
That this was the place
That you were entitled to be
If you wanted to go
You should've said so
If you wanted to stay
You should've said so
If you wanted to be somebody else
You should've said so
And we could've made the difference
Yes we could've made the distance
Yes we could've made the difference
If you'd said so
Or we could've got 'til Christmas
If you'd said so

She
07:17
|

She didn't see it coming
She had her eyes closed
She didn't hear you come in
She let the world take the blow
She whispered softly something
To the people down below
She whispered softly something
And let the world take the load
Hide my face in smoke
To stop the face from staring
I'm half awake
I've tried to shake
The shadow that I'm wearing
She didn't see it coming
She had her eyes closed
She didn't hear you come in
She let the world take the blow
She whispered softly something
To the people down below
She whispered softly something
And let the world take the load
Hide my face in smoke
To stop the face from staring
I'm half awake
I've tried to shake
The shadow that I'm wearing
She didn't see it coming
She had her eyes closed
She didn't hear you come in
She let the world take the blow
She whispered softly something
To the people down below
She whispered softly something
And let the world take the load
Hide my face in smoke
To stop the face from staring
I'm half awake
I've tried to shake
The shadow that I'm wearing
