TRIGGER
Through the rain I heard you say that you’d come with me
And anyone stand in our way would meet your army
Holding out for the rain as its falling on you
Holding out for the rain as its falling on you
Im only saying somethings slowing you down, you gotta pull the trigger
Climb the mountain, monkey on my back again
Falling down them, monkey on my back again
Im only saying somethings slowing you down, you gotta pull the trigger

DISSIDENT
C’mon little girl I been waiting all night long just to see you cry
Cuz the candles burning down and no one else is around so baby cant we try?
I feel like I could die tonight and you wouldn’t even care
But these cigarettes and gin and the bumps under your skin they don’t lie
You got this distance in your eyes, so lover wont you come around
You got this dissidence in your eyes, so lover wont you come around
Tomorrow never comes if this is left undone tonight
So crack your little whip and cut me down to the right size
I see through the eye of a needle shotgun ricochet
And I see through the eye of a needle how you play these games
 

CATORINA

Catorina was a good girl she tried so hard to run away, run away from me

Im getting tired of feeling useless, I clone my friends, they run away run away, can you feel it now, blown apart

Im paralysed, running so fast getting nowhere, running so fast to the start again, and to the start again

Catorina called me up today, she said goodbye, shes far away, far away, she can feel it now cuz nothings done

Im paralysed, running so fast getting nowhere, running so fast to the start again,

Im Magnetised, all alone in the same place, gotta change my hair gotta change my face

 

ROCKETSHIP

Your tangled up again, your hearts in a jar in the garden. You missed your stop again and this times forever

You feel it in your bones, the paradise you wasted. Your fading out too fast, ya oh no, you didn’t get to finish

(cuz you were) floating in a rocketship (ciz you were) floating on a rocketship far away, floating on a rocketship,

but its told, fortunes already told.

So build with me honey won’t you reach for the sky, you know your made of money and you know the reason

why, your tangled up again, oh no, you don’t know where we’re going

 

HORIZONS

i see a system thats collapsing, right through a union with a great divide

should i cut my losses or just cut myself here, should i shut my heart so i can open my eyes

behind my horizons, we see a sun that never shines in the valley below

you freak her out man you make her nervous, these kids are products of ourselves

 

CANDY CANE

we see this city, glisten tonight, so bright, all the colours, green red & white

well they draw me in, take me so high, i got the greatest view, but from alkatraz

we just watch as, seasons come and seasons go, evergreen they will not grow

take advantage while we can, cuz i just seem to, suck too hard on the candy cane,

love, fun & colour all just fade away, we try, try to forget, it was picturesque

but i am a lightweight, i am a punching bag for you, so theres no wonder, theres no wonder

 

MR MINIMUM WAGE

mr minimum wage is on parade and he's getting knocked down, not knocking em' down

he works all day to please the same man who's red right hand just got ten grand

 to take kick backs, sit back and tell em that their gona sack, you ya fool, you ya fool, what ya gona do

when they slave trade to get paid, ya rackin up ya sick days, to them your just a number, a zero

so tell me who are you, tell me whats your name?

so tell me who are you, mr minimum wage

well he works all day he got bills to pay and he said, not now baby, not now

he's got a woman at home who wants to know why his weekly wage his boss can earn in a day

he gets pushed down, kicked around by every single corporate clown who do to you, do to you, anything they

wanna do they slave trade to get paid, ya rackin up ya sick days, to them your just a number, a zero

he brought in, no wages.... minimum wage what ya gona do boy? has your life go the better of you boy?

 

WRECKING BALL

make a call cuz you cant relate, a wrecking ball decision, a decision that is worth its weight, it just caused

demolition, simple it seemed, simple it seemed, hang up the phone as it grows apart, and makes another incision

but with you, im letting it go now

you'll change the world in a couple of days, you dont know it yet, you pull it close just to push it away, how quickly

we forget, simple you seemed, simple you seemed, hang up the phone as it grows apart and changes its religion,

but with you, im letting it go now, dont stop running

 

SWEET SYMPATHETIC VOICE

Something is a tragedy, this bus dont run on time, how many chances do you get, the more you think the less

you know, wear the suit that wears you well, like you dont have achoice, i’ll open up my ears and my mind so you

don’t have to raise your voice

So sing the song that you were taught, of the battles you have fought, in a sweet sympathetic voice

Breaking in just broke me free, from the dreams you seem to make for me, cutting down my family tree, for a dog

and a house that dont relate to me

 

GET AROUND THIS

she'll fall in love like a cat in a home, she never guesses the right ways to go

she's seasonal and then evergreen, a little hard to understand if you know what i mean

well can you take this burden from my back, if it's all the same to you

and if it's all the same to you, you haven't been through what i been through, i've been shut out for manipulation,

in a roller coaster of a situation

can't we just talk about it, so we, can get around this.

she picked up where we left off, a different guy but he's still good enough

she don't know how it feels, how deep that she cuts

and i was hoping that more than my mind would get fucked, when i was

 

HAVE YOU HAD ENOUGH

stuck out here on the lonely boat, i need remedy for my dreams

i wrote my life in pencil so i could change 'most everything

but i believe what i write, believe in my lies

tomorrow is the day i will compromise

and i will ask you, my friend, when enough is enough

i will be there with my life collapsing, i'd hold you here if i could make it happen

have you had enough

i wrote down all the things i would change about my life

then i ran out of paper so i engraved it in me with a knife

and i bled from what i write, bled until it's dry

why should i live a life of compromise

when i asked you, as a friend, when enough is enough

have you had your say man, had it twice today man

but did you get your words out

 

TALKIN 2 YOU

i said to my friend ya know he don't talk that much

give me that number so i can get in touch

with the man who sorts shit out and he doesn't fuck around about

and he'll say, i ain't playing, when i'm dealing with you

can you hear what i'm saying, when I’m talking to you

i took my seat and sat down and then heaven walked through

i don't know what she said but i saw her lips move

and judging by her eyes i knew she's gona move with it, groove with it, you know she's got it

that shit i've never seen before and i know i'll never see again

so i best say something before the deal comes to an end

i got more style than the dude and he doesn't have a clue

so hang on baby cuz this ones for you

can you hear what i'm saying, can you hear what i'm saying

as i stare in the vacuum of your eyes, i will rob you blind

i'm talking to you

 

ONE MORE TIME

i've been drinking in the rain, i'm set to snap and i'm gonna

break into you and see what i can take

break right through you, through the ball and chain, again, because

ooh i know your type but what can i do

can i take one more time, can i make one mistake

ooh your so sublime, yes you are, so what can i do

can i take one more time

did you come to complicate it, i'm set to snap and i'm gona

break into you and see what i can take

break right through you, through the ball and chain, again, because

i've been drinking in the rain, so what can i do

as i hold this ball and chain, all i wanna do, is get closer to you

just one more time

 

DISAPPEAR

and i told you on the day we met, that my heads to high up in the clouds for you to intercept

but who can't see the urgency, who cant see the urgency it brings, in times like these

cuz they're times, that i can do without that i can do without, we've all gone without sometimes

she's a conversation piece that i wore out loud, now she's turned into the silence of 1000 mouths

but who can't see the urgency, who cant see the urgency it brings, in times like these

and when you go, i will disappear

 

SISTER SORROW

crash and burn, its all you ever learn. you troubleshoot, then welcome self abuse

this is the sound of everything breaking down

did you ever know we were always by the phone? sister sorrow, where did you go? sister sorrow, where did you

go? we dont know...

do you feel ashamed to share a family name? your shown a path but walk upon the grass

this is the time, we cut the cord and leave you behind

its not a house its a home, they're not your kids they're your clones, its not my fault your alone, its not my fault

your....

 

BULIDING IS BURNING

Waiting on these hands to become clean, the dirt from just one fingernail could bury me (you gotta wash it away).

Dont wait to make the call, Dont wait to make the call, cuz im already gone. Point the finger at your cause once

more, a gun another bullet and another war. Hate unites, so together cry, a hate bigger than Jesus and God is

why. Hate unites, so together fight, a hate bigger than Jesus and God is why. Stop stopping me, i hate hating

you, you keep keeping on and everyone will burn.

 

FEELS LIKE HOME

Could you sell me like you did for my friends? Or just tell me on what it depends? So i know that i shoulda been,

coulda been, would’ve been if i had left you i, shoulda been, coulda been woulda been if you had broken me too.

All i ever wanted was it all, but desperation left me on my own, cuz it feels like home. Your cold, thats why i live

life on the floor, im getting old, so i sit and i take some more but i know that i...

 

JUSTIFIED - TESTIFIED

it takes a lonely man in his lonely boat, just to fill a black book with the rules he broke

when they're all about love, they're all about loss and blame

it takes a lonely man in his lonely boat, and for every time he's sorry theres a sorry little note

in his little black book that he calls his own disgraceland

and you can sail away, but ill be there to blacken ya name, the love police are spreading tear gas like a disease

Oh oh, i'm flying, cuz i feel lke i've done the right thing by lying

Oh oh, i'm justified, cuz i testified

it takes a lonely man, like a traffic cop, to fill a black book with the things that he's not

cuz he gets drunk and makes up stories about himself

 

SACCHARINE

and you wonder about your life nearly 20 times a day, you wonder how you've managed to get yourself betrayed

your a diamond honey, you only want men with money, it's all you like

and you travel round the world but you leave out seven seas, you say why do we need water, we dont need it to

breed, nice going, you know your so, one dimensional in all your life

yea, shes saccharine, she's not real and she's bittersweet

i thought you knew, darlin i would shoot through, like a bullet in you

the comes a time, you realise your gona bite that bullet too.

And you tell me what to do nearly 20 times a day, you wonder why i'm leaving, i want some disarray

your such a hypochondriac, why dont you just get off my back

 

BETTER DAYS

i had a genie in a bottle who said that my wish could come true, but god knows she would never listen cuz baby,

all i got is you

the princess of lycra not the queen of hearts, things start to crumble before they even start, my good times have

gone, my good times have gone

ive seen better days and i thrashed them til' they're gone, blue skies are now clouds of grey and theres nothing

left to hold on to.

i drew the joker of love not the ace of spades, how am i supposed to play you when i'm being played

my good times are gone, tell me now where do i belong?

 

LOOSE LIPS

i'm willing and im able with some cards out on your table in a bar where no-one even knows my name

you make secrets feel so welcome but you cant even keep the in a town where no-one wants to know your name

everyone, everyone sees a masterplan, til your loose lips let it out again

your useless man, ya cant keep a keepsake in your hand, your loose lips let it out again

your custom fit for worthlessness when you share your lies with your alibis in a town where no-one wants to play

your games and you play me like a contest that i can only win when i confess everything that makes me want to forget who i

am loose lips, your useless, and i only ever win when i confess everything that makes me want to forget who i am

 

CANT CONTROL YOU

how do i say sorry, without speaking at all, cuz if you wont ever talk to me ill be sorry for ever more

in a state of despair i managed to find that everything you gave me was already mine and a drunken illusion gave

the conclusion ill be sorry for ever more

i cant control you, you love this behaviour, i cant control you at all.

how does one take back some words when one to many were said? and how does one clear a concenious mind

when the poisons rule in his head?

in a state of disappear i managed to find that everything you gave me was already mine and a drunken illusion

gave the conclusion ill be sorry for ever more

 

HAPPENING TO ME

i'm wondering why there's mirrors every corner of your house, i'm wondering why there's yellow pills that you

can't live without

i'm wondering why there's body parts that you won't let me see, i'm wondering why i like it, i can't believe whats

happening to me

i find an empty seat and i take it for a while, i missed my stop again on the bus of self denial

i'm naked in the garden and i'm swinging from a tree, i'm wondering why i like it, i ant belive what's happening to

me. indecent exposure in the back of my van, i'm wondering how you got hee with ya head in the sand

it keeps me going and it keeps me going, all night

and everywhere i go there's a fork in the road, and everywhere i go there's a fork in the road

i swear i heard some music disturbing the peace, i swear i felt compassion in the air that we breathe

i swear i delt the card that i thought would give you release, i cant believe what's happening to me

 

PREDICTABLE (BUT WHATS THIS?)

you say its not the same, you'd rather emulate it, but f its not the same, you gotta tell me what is,

 alone, but you dont care for friends anyway. You sold whatever it is you are on ebay

you elude to whatever it is that your trying to say. Now your real and thats all that you gota be anyway.

some they say that seeing is believing, i never say that seeing is believing

cuz you cover it up and everythings wonderful (but whats this?)

and everything that you throw at me is predictable (but whats this?)

loose your soul and you loose what's original (but whats this?)

and everything that you throw at me is predictable (but whats this?)

a life, you shouldnt have gotten out of bed for. another girl, that you shouldn't have let yourself explore

now baby here's your chance, to slip through the crowd and just demand more.

and its such a shame, that you almost got what you paid for, didn't you?
