- Another Sad Song
Flashback to 1999,
It's the summer,
Not a cloud in the sky.
Present day,
Things have changed,
Summer's over
And it rains here every day.
- B.O.R.E.D.
Life, is this all there is?
Every day’s the fucking same in this life I live.
It’s the same routine every fucking day,
tomorrow’s a re-run, the next day’s the same.
I’m bored at Uni, I’m bored at home,
I’m bored of spending hours on end bored in my room on my own.
I wish that I could drive, I’d get away from this place,
Cool breeze through my hair and the thrill of the chase.
- Cool Kids
All the cool kids are coming out
So you'd better make an effort to impress
Hurry up and get dressed
Tonight we're gonna have a laugh
I think she's coming and I hope I see her there
I'll be like "Whatever", "Who cares?"
Seen them live five times
- Counting Sheep
I'm sorry for feeling sorry for myself
Feeling helpless could be helpful with a little help
Hopelessly hopeful that my dreams will come true
It's hard to focus when it's only day dreaming I do
I'd be thoughtfully thoughtless if I thought it would work
But I've been working on my thought process now my brain hurts
In bed, wide eyed, awake
I pray to God, if he exists, my mind he'll take
- Damn Nation
Father please, no need to preach
The words you speak are not new to me
Born and raised in yesterday
I've seen your light and turned away
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink
You can lead your lambs to slaughter if it's what the shepherd thinks
Now I'm gonna live life, love life while I'm alive
I've only got one chance, this time and it's do or die
- Deadliest Catch
Ahoy there! All aboard!
This relationship is leaving shore.
Anchors aweigh as I set sail,
Through choppy seas, rain storms and gales.
The sun is rising on the horizon,
As I climb the mast, my heart's capsizing
From the crow's nest, where the view is best
- Dumb
Nobody move, no one touch a thing now
Looking at clues I'm investigating
I, I smell a rat
And now it's time to face the facts
This time I caught you red-handed
Didn't go as you planned it, you're remanded
This time it's you that I'm accusing
- Emily
Alarm clock rings, another day in hell begins
I'm going out of my mind until she walks in
They say love is blind but my vision is fine
Angels sing when I look in her eyes, I'm like...
Emily, won't you sit next to me?
You got such a pretty face, I'm a waste of space
But a boy can dream

-------------------------------------
Bags packed and by the door,
they've been there for a week or so
Passport is looking worn,
in the picture I look 12 years old
Outside the weather's cold,
I'm wearing every sweater I own
- Face Full of Scars
I close my eyes and think of nice things
like summer in the park when I was riding my bike.
Life was so much easier when I was 8,
now I’m bitter, I’m twisted, I’m full of hate.
I really don’t like the person I’ve become,
what happened to the little boy who loved his mum?
I never talk to anyone about the way I feel,
I lie, I cheat, I fight and I steal.
- Far Q
Dear Dad, I think about you every now and then,
I hope to God that I don’t turn out like you as I grip this pen.
Every time you cross my mind, I cross my heart and hope to die,
That I wont ever let myself become a disappointment to my mum.
Father, you never bothered, about as close as north and south are to each other.
But my mother, I really love her, although sometimes I wish she would have chose another.
- Grounded
My friends brother
Ss almost seventeen
And can't be trusted with his own set of house keys
Because he keeps losing them
Went out with friends wakes his mum up knocking on the Door at 3 AM
He says:
- I Know A Song That Will Get On Your Nerves
I really hate you and I think that you should know
I'm gonna try and imitate you with every bone from head to toe
The way you made me feel, so embarrassed and miserable
I'm not spiteful or the vicious type, imitations the way to go
So I'm chewing nylon gloves to piss you off
Scratching fingernails down a chalkboard
Grinding my teeth through my gums and jaw
- If The World Was To End
If the world was to end,
would I plummet or ascend or would I even know it had happened.
I'd like to believe, destiny has a plan for me, but my mind won't allow me the idea
have you ever felt like you're just waiting for your life to start? Seems the same from day to day ad everyday you're losing heart. I want some motivation. something has to give. I need resuscitation because I'm losing the will to live.
If the world was to end,
would I plummet or ascend or would I even know it had happened.
- Love Someone Else
Incessantly expressing myself
Lyrically so literally
Has lead the listener to believe
They have perceived the real me
But why?
I'm not your average guy
There's more to me than what meets the eye
- Move Along
From the outside looking in
You can barely hear my voice
I could be someone if you gave me half a chance
From the inside looking out
Maybe you'll hear me if I shout
We will be something big and that I do not doubt
We will...
- Normally Strange
I've been living in this darkness
Setting light to my own home
I've been praying for some company
But I wanna be left alone
I've been feeling lower lately
But I'm still getting high
Feeling Wretty confident
That I'm feeling shy
- PMA
I'm 23, I kind of hope I live to see 24
I've realised I'm not invincible anymore
and of that, I'm sure.
I have been hiking up molehills
and I'm feeling kind of tired so I'm coming down.
I have been fussing over nothing
but nothing makes me frown.
- R.O.I.
The innocent have shamrocks in his eyes,
His blood is heritage, this Irish boy cannot hide.
I'd beach to the rhythm of the strumming, of the valley bad's Joe.
His blood was three colours: green, white and gold.
At night these cobbled streets I roam.
This sovereign state is home.
- Scared Of The Dark
Man is,
Afraid of the unknown,
I don't know what the night brings,
When I'm alone
The lamp's on,
It's always been that way,
It's a way, I hope that things,
- Showtime
I invited you to to the show
I didn't know it'd sell out though
And guest list's full
But if you left it until the day
I've tried my best but there's no way to get you in
And it blows but showtime is over
And I'm sorry I'm drunk and you're sober
- Something Better Came Along
Hold those tears
Just tell me it's over so I can get over you
All my fears
You say that you're sorry but you will be sorry soon
I feel bad but I can tell by the height of your shoulders that you're glad
All along I guess you were just another line in another song
- Taping Songs off the Radio
I’ve been collecting music for so long, today I turned on my laptop and it’s all gone.
I opened my iTunes and it’s bare, I can’t find the albums I downloaded anywhere.
Karma payback for not paying for these tracks
but I’d pay every penny just to have them back,
And Blogspot, she was my girlfriend,
Caught her cheating on me with Last FM.
- Uni 9mm
In three years, they'll all have careers,
And I can't deny my contempt.
For all the people that I know,
Who've all found somewhere else to go,
A place of education that seems, the overtaking me
But am I wasting all this precious time,
Feeling alive whilst postponing my life?
- Vampires Suck, Blood
Scrub the plates, wash your hands in fantastic style
Heads turn in awe of their tremendous well-being
I'll wear a scar from the sticks and stones
As I pull the trigger in the face of finger pointing ones
Now who's scum?
Landlord, bring all the tramps off the streets
Because the drinks are on me, we're all family
- Wars With Words
I'm wasting today
Just like I did yesterday
And I'm frustrated
The words won't come out of my mouth
Nothing to write about
And I'm tearing out this page
Inspiration lost in thoughts
- Wish You Were Here
Wish you were here
me oh my countryman
wish you where here
Wish you were here
don't you know the stove is
getting colder
and i miss you like hell
- Work For It
This is your wake up call
Your chance to change it all
No hope that you change it
You hear alarm bells sound
It's time to turn it round
I'm trying to save you
You say that it's all you got
- Working For The Man By Day, Sticking It To The Man By Night
I've been working this steady job
For a week long.
With the nine to fivers
Where I don't belong.
It's a means to an end
And it's not permanent.
When the night comes
I start my shift in entertainment.
