Helluva Ride

It ain’t that complicated
I was standing there bare and naked
Reach for my jewels and I hesitated
She told me you don’t know how long I’ve waited
And once again I let my dick do the talking
But why would I ever give up a sure thing
I’ve got time plenty time to spare
Whispers to me will you pull on my hair
Riding in the passengers seat
Going ‘bout 93
Buckle up and I hold on tight
Cause I’m in for a hell of a ride
Here for a good time not for a long time
Time to get this show on the road
She’s gone too fast and I see the finish line
I think it’s time to go
But as I stumble out the door
I see blokes lining up
And I realise I’m not the first
To feel her magic touch
Riding in the passengers seat
Doing 123
Buckle up and I hold on tight
Cause I’m in for a hell of a ride

Old Dirty Blues
03:32

I don’t care what her age is
You’re tellin’ me that she had eight kids
And I flew just like a hawk
Now I can’t even walk
You’ve got a rotting core but still so quick
Have you ever met a girl so rich?
You broke me down and I can’t stop twitching
I’m on my knees, I can’t stop itching
She’s too old
She’s too old
She’s too old
And now they call me the survivor
But I can’t see to make my mind up
Broken glass and empty lighters
Is all that ever will surround us
She’s got a rotting core but she’s so quick
Have you ever met a girl that rich?
She broke me down and I can’t stop twitching
I’m on my knees, I can’t stop itching
She’s too old
She’s too old
She’s too old
She’s too old
She’s got a heart of pure gold (She’s too old)
Playing on my radio (She’s too old)
She’s got a heart of pure gold (She’s too old)
But she’s too old (She’s too old)
She’s too old
She’s too old
She’s too old
She’s too old

Monetary Loss Blues

You know the house always wins
I’m the one that’s living in sin
I ain’t barely got no money to buy me a drink
I find it kinda funny that I’m drowning down this empty sink
And if you let me live, gonna make it up to you
for a small, small fee, I’ll make it up to you
You know the house always wins
I’m still the one, I’m gonna live in sin
I ain’t barely got no money to buy you a drink
You find it kinda funny that I’m drowning down an empty sink
And if you let me live, gonna make it up to you
For a small, small fee, I’ll make it up to you
For a small, small fee, I’ll make it up to you
For a small, small fee, I’ll make it up to you
Small, small fee is gonna make it up to you

Audience Fright
03:17

You know I’d never take the front spot
Even if I were the only one
and if I did, I ain’t having fun
Coz I’m cursed with a curse
And I think you oughta know that
You think I worry about the way you sound
When I’m insecure to the point I’m down
You know you get stage fright
Well I get the opposite
Never knew I was uptight
‘til I stood in the audience
You know you get stage fright
Well I get the opposite
Never knew I was uptight
‘til I stood in the audience
Assumptions are made
When there’s no time to explain
How come the shy guy don’t get no say?
Assumptions are made
When there’s no time to explain
How come the shy guy don’t get no say?
I never knew going to watch
Would be so intimidating
Playing in front of a full house
Maybe I’m just hallucinating
Whenever I watch
I am overcome with a sudden anxiety
Yet you’re the reason I’m still kicking
You know you get stage fright
Well I get the opposite
Never knew I was uptight
‘til I stood in the audience
You know you get stage fright
Well I get the opposite
Never knew I was uptight
‘til I stood in the audience
Assumptions are made
When there’s no time to explain
How come the shy guy don’t get no say?

Expecto patronum
Expecto patronum
He’s a worthless prick, only does stuff for himself
Third place trophy, always stackin’ up his shelf
Leavin’ him behind, he will always come back
Leavin’ you dead, with his last attack
Now he’s gone
Gone for a long, long time
He’s gone
He’s gone for a very long time
Now he’s finally left you in sorrow
Should have been gone very long ago
Soon he will be back, enjoy the fun in which he lacks
He’s back
And he’s back for a long, long time
He’s back
He is back and you won’t be alright
Now he’s here
Here gonna take your life
He’s here
He ain’t gonna die tonight
He’s here
Tell your family he’s coming by
With fear, say your goodbyes

Done Me Dirty

They know your face but they don’t know your name
You try get by that’s the aim of the game
You got money up to your knees
And three honeys from the New Orleans
Always seem to pick the winning horse
You’re the effect and you don’t know the cause
But when your getting busy on the street
Make sure before you come in u wipe your feet, hey
She done me dirty
He done me dirty
She done me dirty
He done me dirty
You know the rules but did you ignore?
Every one of them cause u just want more
Late at night when it’s time for bed
U turn the lights on and u place another bet
Well at least your original
U don’t know that it’s your pinnacle
Of this road that ur heading down
U can’t swim and ur gonna drown
He’s done me dirty
She’s done me dirty
He’s done me dirty
She’s done me dirty
I can’t sleep
I can’t even eat
Look at my lips
Take a look at my lips
You’re ruinin’ it
You’re ruinin’ it
I can’t sleep
I can’t eat
Done me dirty
He’s done me dirty
She’s done me dirty
And he’s done me dirty
And she’s done me dirty

Curbstomp
03:12
|

|
Now suffer in your jocks
And take a lick of my bollocks
Now widen your dirty mouth
As I place it right on the floor
The taste of concrete’s foul
But it’s the only way you’re gonna learn
Tie on my black steel caps
And tie the laces ‘til my feet can’t breathe
Bite down on the curb and go to sleep
You got curbstomped
You got curbstomped
You got curbstomped
Curbstomped
Head stomped in by my filthy boot
Chompers are all over the place
Because u chose to risk it for the biscuit
Braces won’t help you
And Dr Who couldn’t even fix it
Crack, bang, snap as I drop my boot into your skull
Your mouth’s gone running, an unheard cry for help
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
You got your head stomped in by my filthy boot
Satisfies me when I see your pool of blood
Dripping down my white jeans
How will I explain this to my mum
It was a jam sandwich that I failed to keep in my mouth
She believed me, I’m off the hook for now
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
You got curbstomped (curbstomped)
Head stomped in by my filthy boot
Head stomped in by my filthy boot
Head stomped in by my filthy boot
Head stomped in by my filthy boot

Toxic Society
03:25
|

|
Another one gone and she’s gone too soon
Forget the sun, he’ll wait for the moon
She would never believe
The possibility
Of her reality
In this toxic society
Stolen beneath the moon tonight
Now she can’t walk alone sunset to sunrise
When the going gets tough, the tough get tougher
Everyone take a stand and save another
If she’s walking home tonight
Know she’s had her share of spite
And she’s prepared for a fright
And she’s putting up a fight
Against this toxic society
She’s the prey of a predator’s delight
And she won’t walk into tomorrow’s sunlight

Mischievous Dance

Everything is happening just so fast
Nothing really matters, in the end anymore
We get to class and you steal my seat
The same thing happens every day on repeat
Every night it’s the same old shit
Can’t go to sleep without another hit
My friends are right, ‘cause I do think you’re fit
But then again, I talk a lot of chit
Now I’ve changed, I’ll be good again
Now I’ve changed, I’ll be good again
Now I’ve changed, I’ll be good again
Now I’ve changed, I feel alright now
I pretend I don’t worry but I’m just so insecure
My friends are alright but I’m just so immature
But don’t you worry, I just found my cure
But don’t you worry, I just found my cure
Now I’ve changed, I’ll be good again
Now I’ve changed, I’ll be good again
Now I’ve changed, I’ll be good again
Now I’ve changed, I feel alright now

Misfit Takeover
02:48
|

Urbanisation looks you in the eye
Watches you as you as you fade out into crime
Take this land it wasn’t yours
Stealing kids to fade from black
Superbug kills you and rips into your soul, looks at you and says hello
Take what’s not yours and kill all the poor
Take what’s not yours and kill all the poor
Take what’s not yours and kill all the poor
Intoxication mind expanding trip, I go away and feel better
Escape from hell by ringing the bell
Apology exchanged while nothing has changed
Annihilation of this perfect land, they looked at you with nothing to spare
Superbug kills you and rips into your soul, looks at you and says hello
Take what’s not yours and kill all the poor
Take what’s not yours and kill all the poor
Take what’s not yours and kill all of the poor
Look at us now, you’ve taken their land
Left them with nothing, they’re still struggling
Shoulda known better but nothing has changed
Apology exchanged but nothing has changed

Sun Don’t Shine
04:26
|
|||

I’ve realised that the sun don’t shine
Clip round the ear and I feel fine
My shoes so tight they barely fit
Can’t get it right and I wanna quit
Walking down the street not a care in your name
It goes in the ear and comes out your brain
I don’t want anybody in my way
The guy on the corner just called me gay
I don’t agree
Nor do I defer
But every time I’m seeing stars, I just wanna gurn
Everybody over there
Why don’t u get outta my hair
Show me that I’m not a cunt, now the sun don’t shine
Got a couple tricks falling out my sleeve
Getting egged on by the local seeds
I feel no guilt when I want it bad
I chose the wrong side and boy I’m glad
Walking down the street not a care in your name
It goes in the ear and comes out the brain
I don’t want anybody in my way
The guy on the corner just called me gay
I don’t agree
Nor do I defer
But every time I’m seeing stars, I just wanna gurn
Everybody over there
Why don’t you get outta my head
Show me that I’m not a cunt, now the sun don’t shine
And now the sun don’t shine
Now the sun don’t shine
And now the sun don’t shine
And now the sun don’t shine
The sun don’t shine
Now the sun don’t shine
Now the sun don’t shine
No the sun don’t shine
And now the sun don’t shine
I don’t agree (I don’t agree)
Nor do I defer (Nor do I defer)
But every time Im seeing stars I just wanna gurn
Everybody over there
Why don’t you get outta my head
Show me that I’m not a cunt, now the sun don’t shine

Cat’s Pyjamas
04:05
|

|
Sitting there in her fancy pants, feeds me a smile so I shoot her a glance
Cinderella slipped off her shoes, standing toe to toe and we’ll be singing the blues
Just purring away
Just burning my pay
Hissing and fissing
And she’s wishing all my wishes
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
Know that cheetah goes the fastest?
Cat’s looking on in jealousy, plenty of fish in the sea
You got a hold on me, waiting for the fishermen to set me free
Just purring away
Just burning my pay
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
Tiger always scratch the hardest
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
She’s the cat’s pyjamas
Please don’t piss on my carpet
