Doesn't Make It Right
03:33

Will there be a space?
That only she can fill.
When you tell me it’s over
But you say you never will.
The shade across your face
It guides me to her side.
When you tell me it’s over
It doesn’t make it right.
It doesn’t make it right.
It doesn’t make it worth it.
Please tell me I’m useless.
Tell me I’m hopeless x2.
I can’t face the truth.
Again, this time
If you turn to face me
And pretend to lie.
I’ll be holy and open.
When you are out of sight
I can’t do what you’re thinking.
It doesn’t make it right.
It doesn’t make it right.
It doesn’t make it worth it.
Please tell me I’m useless.
Tell me I’m hopeless x2.
and when you’re back around
tell me what to do.
Would I make the hard choice?
Or will I follow you?
It doesn’t make it right.
It doesn’t make it right.
Please tell me I’m useless.
Tell me I’m hopeless.
Tell me I’m hopeless.

He Was Alright
03:32

I bought him a drink, to bring him out of, his shell
He was nice but, Ive met nicer people, in hell
The nostalgia and that feeling of dread
It flood like water, running back into my head
Did I find him good looking?
Yeah he was alright
Then he asked me about the place where I came from
And about the name that was tattooed on my arm (x 2)
He took his phone, out of his pocket, to check the time
As I poured him another glass of wine
I smiled at him, and he returned the smile
Simple regret never goes out of style
Did I find him good looking?
Yeah he was alright
I made a joke, he kinda laughed
Then I made another, ha! it kinda crashed
You can’t win ‘em all.
He finished his drink, and he looked me right in the face
“Get out of here and we’ll go back, to my place”

Television

You turn me on and turn me down and put your feet up
Don’t wanna go out tonight just for a knees up
I’m on a high impact, direct, non-stop collision,
with television
Rocket ride right through the night try to destroy me
Holding on, enjoy the ride, why don’t you join me
I’m on a once in a lifetime, no going back adventure mission
With television
I watch the soaps just in the hope that something happens
I’m going deaf, I cant hear a thing so I use captions.
Well I can if I try very hard and if I really listen
To television
Quiz shows, game shows, I’m right there
Seinfeld re-runs, I don’t care
I’ll watch it til my eyes go square
If it’s on television
I never wanna go to bed
I wanna sit here instead
I wanna just fill my head
Oh with television
I wanna sit and watch TV
Colombo, Dallas and Dynasty
I’ll even watch Keanu Reeves
If he’s on television
Pack up your things and grab your coat
Get me a beer and pass the remote
They’ll never make an antidote
Oh for television
Come back to bed and turn off the light and you can hold me
Take off your clothes and hold me tight, that’s what she told me
I’ll do what I want I’m all grown up, it’s my decision
I choose television Uh oh
I love television Oh yeah
Give me television Uh oh (Rocket ride right through the night, try to destroy me)
I want television oh yeah (Holding on, enjoy the ride, why don’t you join me)
Give me television Uh oh (Rocket ride right through the night, try to destroy me)
I want television oh yeah (Holding on, enjoy the ride, why don’t you join me)
Give me television Uh oh (Rocket ride right through the night, try to destroy me)
I want television oh yeah (Holding on, enjoy the ride, why don’t you join me)
I love television Oh yeah (Rocket ride right through the night, try to destroy me)

B.J.H

I’ll say goodbye but Jesus Christ, I miss you.
The glue that bonded strangers to the end
Disguise yourself, from birth to stone with dark and cloudy issues.
I promise you the jokes aren’t finished yet.
Fire and flame, my friend we’d laugh together.
You bring the booze I’ll bring the Mix cassette.
Wildflower ghost we thought you’d live forever and ever.
I promise you the jokes aren’t finished yet.
(Middle)
Shoot some pool, talk of school and drinking.
Have we lost the changing of the guard
The sun beats down, my head is gently spinning.
I’m hearing “Bad” and then it hit’s me, yes it hits me hard
School day love, that made a life feel better.
Ripped apart a torn and sad duet.
Stitching up a worn and ragged sweater for the better?
I promise you the jokes aren’t finished yet.
Did we try enough to stop you leaving?
We played the cards, forgot about roulette.
Together we’ll make it through the grieving of you leaving
I promise you the jokes aren’t finished yet.
We’ll say goodbye but Jesus Christ, we miss you.
The glue that bonded strangers to the end
Disguise yourself, from birth to stone with dark and cloudy issues.
We promise you the jokes aren’t finished yet.
We promise you the jokes aren’t finished yet.

Dark Whispers
04:16

He’s seen the secret glances
Smells cheating on her breath
Searched sins, just for an answer
He’s in, up to his neck
Dark whispers hold the questions
Dark whispers hold the key
Dark whispers hold the answers that he needs
The lies are getting smarter
Plays along, with her scene
The acting’s getting harder
He asks, “where have you been?”
Dark whispers hold the questions
Dark whispers hold the key
Dark whispers hold the answers that he needs
And now the secret glances
Are not secret anymore
He’s thrown away his chances
Never found what he was looking for
Dark whispers hold the questions
Dark whispers hold the key
Dark whispers hold the answers that he needs
That he needs

Black and White
Kisses of three
did I tell you I’m into you?
that’s when it all went wrong
I didnt have a clue.
You make me sick
I’m not really into you
that’s just the cold hard truth
but you never knew.
My world came alive
You told me we didn’t rhyme
it’s not that bad
oh, It’s black and white
It’s black and white.
You should be scrapped from the human race
You should be put with the human waste
Get outta my sight
You’re one of a kind
and you’re dime a dozen
you’re all that I need
and you’re not the one
let’s drink to our love
three cheers for sacrifice
you’re more than a game
but you rolled the dice
My world came alive
You told me we didn’t rhyme
it’s not that bad
oh, It’s black and white
My world came alive
You told me we didn’t rhyme
it’s not that bad
oh, It’s black and white
Yes, It’s black and white
You should be scrapped from the human race
You should be put with the human waste
Get outta my sight

Apocalypse
03:27
|

I see you struttin’ up and down this town
You build me up and then you cut me down
Hot rods burning up and down the road
Tail pipe hot, and it’s about to blow
Back seat motor’s running hot
Revving high, give it a shot
Tearing down the finish line,
no win tonight
There’ll be no kissing
there’ll be no touching
Just when you think you’re the last man on this earth
while you’re waiting for total devastation
Just Lick your lips, shake your hips
Apocalypse
As I’m waiting for the world to end
I see you walking on by with a friend
she looks at me and gives me the eye
I drop the clutch and sparks start to fly
There’ll be no stopping
When it’s all over
That’s when I’ll be
the last man on this earth
So when I’m takin
My Love vacation
Lick your lips and shake your hips
apocalypse
I’ve found first gear, but it’s still grinding
We’re at top speed we’ll soon be flying
As I’m about to overtake
My body aches she hits the brakes
Lick your lips and shake your hips

I Can't Say Goodbye
04:06

I can be hard to handle.
She gets me and I don’t know why.
She’s comfortable with my silence.
I can’t say goodbye.
I can get bored and restless.
She needs a heart bigger than mine
I’m comfortable with her silence.
I can’t say goodbye.
I can’t say goodbye tomorrow.
It’ll leave me dry.
I can’t say goodbye tomorrow.
It’ll leave me dry.
My lucky stars are counted.
They shine like the future bright.
We’re safe on our path together
I can’t say goodbye.
I can’t say goodbye tomorrow.
It’ll leave me dry.
I can’t say goodbye tomorrow.
It’ll leave me dry.

More Time

How I wish I had more time
Tired eyes and crazy fights
Roll a six and move your hips
Nicotine Kisses from your lips
How I wish I had more time
Brandy mixed with ginger wine
When you told me you were fine
I could see that they were lies
How I wish I had more time
tell me about your younger life
The precious moments when you cried
And the hurting when he died
How I wish I had more time
Being scared not being tough
I let you down by giving up
Love isn’t always good enough
More time, more time, more time, more time
Being scared not being tough
I let you down by giving up.
Love isn’t always good enough.
Love isn’t always good enough.
Being scared not being tough
I let you down by giving up.
Love isn’t always good enough.
Love isn’t always good enough.
Take away, take away the pain. take away the pain. ah ah
Oh oh Take away, take away the pain, take away the pain, ah ah

Get off your high horse
Get off of your cloud
Take off your rose coloured glasses on the ground
Diamonds deceive you
gold fever dreams
You’re silver lining Is not quite as it seems
You’re waiting for the day
When the stars aren’t far away
When the lights aren’t out of reach, they’re in your eyes
Hey You!
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
Gods gift to no-one
King of the crowd
Rock n roll royalty
With paper crown
It’s all in your head boy
Its all in your fat and giant head
Wake up and smell the sweat
It’s all over boy, it’s all over now
You’re waiting for the day
When the stars aren’t far away
When the lights aren’t out of reach, they’re in your eyes
Hey You!
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
Hey You!
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
All you friends knock you in private
(you don’t care)
They laugh at you, saying “it’s a waste of time”
And when you finally break your silence
(You have no choice)
You’ll know that you, that you are doing fine
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
Hey You!
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
Hey You!
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
Hey You!
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
Hey You!
you think your famous
a real a big shot
you know your you’re not
Hey you!
