I'm a flying nightmare, I'm a science never learned
I'm in mint condition, I'm a paycheck never earned
Talking to the wall about the things I did this week, but then he left me on read and he turned the other cheek
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, I don't wanna wanna
I don't wanna, I don't wanna, wanna wanna wanna
I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna, I ain't gonna gonna
I ain't gonna, I aint gonna, gonna do nuthin
I'm a dying prophet, I'm a scheming puff of steam
Tricky tongue twister, a venerial disease
Jump the met, fall to my death, drown in fare debt
Ticket for the cricket, you can rip it up and stick it.

Waking up from a dream, you thought I'd just go back to sleep
Fell apart at the seams, I will not come out of this well
You talk directly at me, I think so, you know I wasn't listening
I hate that fucking film, never seen it and I never will.
Phone rings, smash it, don't talk to anyone
I'm so scared that I can't stand up
Car alarm goes off, wake the town up
Put the kids back to sleep and turn off the light
Animals in the kitchen, 10:15 to Hitchin delayed
Bus service awaits, engine on
Oh my god you're so desperate, 'cause I'm mum's favourite
How long you wanna stay?

Did We Make It?

I missed the game though I knew it was today
Couldn't save the date, I threw my diary away
And I'm overdue another update
Guess I'll never know what its like to be awake.
And this guy looks like he's got more to say
Like a christian singer who forgot to pray one day
Shame follows men
Life before death.
Did we make it?
Was it worth it?
'17 is still the date when I write it
Three whole years, there to here
I don't know who I am yet
I saw the game yesterday, I don't know who played
I'd make a guess but I'd probably get it wrong anyway
And they said its not the time for a soapbox display
But they'd appreciate one in a couple of days.
Did we make it?
Was it worth it?
'17 will always be the date when I write it
Three whole years just disappear
I don't know where I am

All The Rage
03:19
|
|

Waiting somewhere, driving rain
Lungs collapse, how will I breathe again?
Again?
Dinner's gone cold, you're asleep
Watch TV, there's nothing here for me
I'll eat.
You know it's all the rage, I don't want any of it
You're insane, I'm at the bottom of it
I'm okay, I don't deserve it
You're all the rage, I'm a cheap complaint
I'm a rattlesnake, and I'm in your way
Drunk as a sailor, dead as a doornail
The ceiling ain't what it used to be

A Mighty Long Time
05:34

Listening for ya at the rock n roll building
Hurt myself bad 'cause I couldn't hear a damn thing
Said you'd be right back, I knew you wouldn't.
Thought maybe you'd like to meet me tonight
But something ain't right, and you're just too nice to say no
Say it ain't so.
It's a breakout at 4am
Head over heels, I know what I am
Built up tall, I've never felt so small
Yeah you look just like I thought you would
I said hello and you said nothing
24 hours is a mighty long time to wait
Please don't be late.
Scrawling on my receipt paper, thought you liked it
But you're just too nice to lie
Is this goodbye?
Its a breakout at 4am
Head over heels but you don't know who I am
Built up too tall, couldn't see nothing at all
Did I look just like you thought I would?
Did I look just like you thought I would?
I'm terrified of you
Open up your arms, I'd fall clean through
I'm scared of honesty, and honestly, I don't wanna know
'Cause it hurts me when I ask, and I just get bypassed
If its all the same to you, I wanna know
Did I look just like you thought I would?
Listening for you at the rock n roll building
But its all closed down, and I'm trying to catch my breath
There's nothing left.

Airport Barfight

singing along to the airport barfight
I know all the words by now
cause im the guy who wrote the script to the airport barfight
what a fuckin concept
who even has the time to get in an airport barfight?
the answer is me
im stupid enough to watch the airport barfight
and now im in airport jail
we know the sun will dry the rain but it wont fry the egg on the floor
I know theres gotta be more to this but I dont know what to ask for
my wife and kids, they hate me
cause im the reason they dont exist
and its all within my hands so ill just make a tight fist
and I hate my friends
they hate me too
and I dont deserve love
but then again neither do you
and im a huge piece of shit
the international asshole
you're too old for hip hop
but not old enough for jazz

My Degree
02:30

Teacher wanna tell me I'm never gonna learn
School is too expensive, got no money left to burn
Talking bout the science and the silence in the trees
I tell you teacher, give me my degree
Oh teacher, I'm gonna get my degree
Gonna get my phD
I'm gonna get my degree.
Teacher wanna tell me I'll never get a job
I don't really care if I make money or not
Talking bout a six or seven figure salary
I don't care teacher, give my my degree
Dentist wanna tell me I'm losing all my teeth
Last time I counted I had at least twenty three
Front ones and the back ones, the big and small ones too
Wait a minute, you're not my teacher
Oh teacher, give me back my degree
I'll trade my teeth for a degree
Give me back my D-E-G-R-E-E

I Thought
05:24

I thought I was taller but I stopped growing years ago
Shrinking smaller soon enough
Getting short or feeling low?
I broke both my hands playing in the sand
I broke both my feet walking down the street
Out there is everything
What's left is right
Interpol to local criminal
Spaces, liminal
Something in us all
I don't know where I'm supposed to go
I'd rather live on the street than die on the road
It's everything
I'm right
The house is on fire
I'm not getting out of bed
I'll turn the radiator on instead
I could put out the blaze with my sweat
Sometimes I wish we never met
What else did you expect?
And I know I'm a handful
My name is a mouthful
But I'm not spiteful, I'm just here
And thats all I've ever been
Feeling low, getting smaller
I'm not getting any taller
Suspicious cool, a stupid fool
All we've ever been.
