Can't Ever Hold It In 01:56
lyrics

A monkey on your back, Don't tell me lies don't tell me crap don't tell me nothing I know it's hard to see that I'm a vault without a key Can't keep in nothing No I, can't ever hold it in No I, can't ever No more secrets to the grave, give me an inch and I will cave, Don't tell me nothing They call me a leaky boat, there's more holes than grandpa's coat, Can't keep in nothing I'll be far less than discrete, I'll spill your beans here on the street Can't keep in nothing I have warned you once before that I am rotten to the core Can't keep in nothing No I, can't ever hold it in No I, can't ever hold it in It's my right to decide My freedom of choice, expression of voice To live or to die There's no need for a front That is just my disguise A monkey as a friend, no fucking trust never depend, Don't tell me nothing It's easy now to see don't waste a single word on me, Can't keep it nothing No I, can't ever hold it in No I, can't ever hold it in No I

Now little Davie Crockett man, he’s come right back He's fallen off the wagon and he’s picking up slack A real gentle giant, thinks he’s bigger than Shaq Oh yeah His partner in crime is the other Mr. T A known beer guzzler, partying is his specialty It won’t be long now til, they both get to me Oh yeah The boys are back in town Thinking about it now, god, I didn’t stand a chance I was looking for an Armstrong man but all I found was Lance They twisted my arm, now we're heading to the dance Oh yeah With eighty down the gutter and we’re only half done My chances of surviving, heck they’re slimmer than none Let’s keep this ball a-rolling, think it’s time to kick on Oh yeah The boys are back in town The boys are back in town The boys are back in town Now the boys are back in town Now the boys are back in town The boys are back in town We’re going burn it down The boys are back in town We’re going burn it down

Get Out Of My Life 02:23
lyrics
buy track
Help myself to make some space A week away don't make me wait Hey! Get out of my life Don't want to see you at our place I'll change the locks to the front gate Hey! Get out of my life Get out of my life No I don't want to touch base 'Cause you and I have run our race Hey! Get out of my life Restraining order just in case One more text and it's in place Hey! Get out of my life Get out of my life Retrace your steps and you'll reach a conclusion That this kind of shit now it ain't the solution So pack all your things and move into the future 'Cause we're done and dusted, you're out of the picture!

Septic Tank 01:23
lyrics
buy track
Waiting, hoping, for things to unfold Waiting, wanting, til this feeling goes I gaze across this land and empty lake I breathe the dew, my mind just draws a blank No need again to make the same mistakes A tree, a field, and then a septic tank Red sky, night time, and the tension grows Ticking, timebomb, ready to explode I gaze across this land and empty lake I breathe the dew, my mind just draws a blank No need again to make the same mistakes A tree, a field, and then a septic tank STOP The trees are burning Smoke blackened sky The smell of fury Never go back again Down past the border The tracks wear thin The last man standing Never go back again He won't come back again Waiting, hoping, for things to unfold Waiting, wanting, til this feeling goes I gaze across this land and empty lake I breathe the dew, my mind just draws a blank No need again to make the same mistakes A tree, a field, and then a septic tank

Batgirl 02:16
lyrics

She's been coming home a-late now and I really shouldn't wait She's been hitting up the nightlife had a lot of fucking dates Now she's swiping lots of lefts and she's swiping lots of rights And I'm planning not to wait up 'cause she loves a Friday night My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking who? So it's been a couple months now and I think she's found a man But she's been acting really suspect says I wouldn't understand She's got bruises on her back, she's got bruises on her front And I think I gotta tell her that her new guy is a cunt My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking who? I was searching through the washing when I found a creepy mask And then it all just hit me and I let out a big gasp She's got posters on the wall, she's got posters in the bath And she's letting her boy Brucey stick it in her fucking arse My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking and fucking and fucking My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman My friend Jess, is fucking batman?

Shut up I'm all alone I woke up late And now this girl is gone Without a trace Without a sound And in my mind I know that she has flown This bird has flown This bird has flown, she's flown This bird has flown This bird has flown She took my cash She took my phone I will not stress I hope she fucking dies A painful death A hundred knives And now I know I know that she is gone This bird has flown This bird has flown, she's flown This bird has flown This bird has flown Shut up! I'm all alone This bird has flown And never coming back

Not Like You 01:39
lyrics

Look at you, a teenage brat right through An iPad in one hand, an attitude that sucks WOOOO-OHH I’m not like you Look at you, you’d make my grandpa spew With no respect or thought Don’t even fucking talk WOOOOO-OHH I’m not like you They call themselves the digital age Technology flows through their veins A generation that is wrong Look at you, your brother's fucked like you He re-tweets all his thoughts He snapchats all his food WOOOOO-OHH I’m not like you Look at you, on the off-chance you do You’ll realise that you are Really fucking screwed WOOOOO-OHH I’m not like you They call themselves the digital age Technology flows through their veins A generation that is wrong

What Happened 02:03
lyrics
buy track
What happened to you? You used to be so cool We use to be just like brothers Go skate park after school And now that’s you’ve changed So we can’t be the same There’s no point looking back When our friendship has changed It’s you who’s to blame You’ve left us all betrayed And now that’s you’ve changed And we won’t be the same What happened to friends? I thought it stood for more Then you blew it for nothing That’s when we hit the wall And now that you’ve changed So we can’t be the same When there's blood on your hands And you cant take the blame There's no point looking back So it won't be the same And now that you’ve changed And it won't be the same And now that you’ve changed So we can’t be the same And the bridges you’ve burned And the scars that you’ve made No more lies and deceit Put your words to the flame Now a friendship decayed So we won’t be the same

Wake up Jeff, your house is fucking burning Grab your blue shirts and don’t forget your blow Where’s your wife? I think I hear her screaming Jeff forget her, just pass me that blow Wake up Jeff, you’ve left this room a murder Take your red shirts, the pills and the coke The two young girls are lying there not moving Cold and silent, Jeff we’ve gotta go Tell the cops you can’t remember This purple shirt feels great with leather Tell the cops you can’t remember No alibi for late September Wake up Jeff and count your fucking millions Stacked in hundreds, go buy some more blow The children’s cheers are just beyond the curtain Another line and it’s time for the show Tell the cops you can’t remember This purple shirt feels great with leather Tell the cops you can’t remember No alibi for late September Tell the cops you can’t remember This purple shirt feels great with leather

It's 2 AM, my alarm goes off It’s not my phone, it’s not my clock I hear its shrill, it’s at its peak My fucking car out in the street I can’t believe, what is happening to me I check for sure that it couldn’t be Heard a sound, fuck not again It’s Tuesday morn, past 3 AM That piercing noise shoots through my head I curse the world; jump out of bed I can’t believe, what is happening to me I check for sure that it couldn’t be her It's 3 AM, my alarm goes off and FUCK

Lead Wings 01:42
lyrics
buy track
I’d hate to interrupt you From those voices in your head The bad things that you dream at night Those things most others dread The weight of few will break your fall The weight of few will break your fall The weight of few will break your fall The weight of few will break your fucking fall Now I don’t think you realised When you jumped from the skyline The wings you dreamt up in your head Can’t really help you fly The weight of few will break your fall The weight of few will break your fall The weight of few will break your fall The weight of few will break your fucking fall

The Beast 02:46
lyrics

I don’t wanna see, what you don’t see And I don’t want to feel, what you can’t feel All I want is to be more human and make you understand That deep inside is an empty shell that you once called a man My pain, my suffering, my pain, my suffering Alone with my pain and suffering, my pain and suffering Alone with my paaaaaaiinnn I don’t wanna breathe, if you can’t breathe And I don’t want to feel, if you can’t feel I’ve made mistake before I know but this time’s gone too far The look of fear deep in your eyes will haunt me like a scar My pain, my suffering, my pain, my suffering Alone with my pain and suffering, my pain and suffering Alone with my paaaaaaiinnn
