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)

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

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?

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
