Saints and sinners
03:53
|
|||
I've never seen your face before and I
Never wanted to
I never asked your opinion and I
Know it's nothing to do with you
But there you go
Sticking your nose in
Where it has no place to be
If you get by being like that
Then I'll get by being me
I'd rather be with my friends in hell
Than stuck in heaven with people like you
We're all saints and sinners here
Whether you believe it's true
My business is my own and you should
Get this in your head
One billion starving people in this world
But all you care about's
With whom I share my bed
Saints and sinners
Saints and sinners
Saints and sinners
Saints and sinners

Anxiety
04:26
|
|||
What does it mean?
Why did they say that?
How come it hurts?
Is it some kind of payback?
It's a mistake of brain-chemistry
Debilitating anxiety

Foregone conclusion
03:41
|
|||
Some say it's written in the stars
Life's journey, this voyage of ours
Sometimes I get the feeling
When things leave me reeling
But I can't swallow that bitter pill
I need to believe in free will
Tell me I'm wrong or tell me I'm right
But I need to believe I'm in control of my life
Say it isn't so, say it's just an illusion
Tell me everything is not a foregone conclusion
Fatalist epistemology
Causes damage to your psyche
Try as you might, do what you can
But you can't defy the plan
But I can't swallow that bitter pill (bitter pill)
I need to believe in free will (free will)

That was then
03:39
|
|||
We had potential
Ten out of ten
We had so much going for us
But that was then
The years are starting to run by
So damned fast
I want to catch up and to try
Not living in the past
Things became rocky
I'm not sure when
I had so much invested
But that was then
A rollercoaster of emotions
Taking its toll
All I wanted to do was to get off
And take control
But if time heals like they
Say it does
I'll be all right in the end
And I'll fall in love

Whatcha sitting there for?
Why aren't you doing your best?
If he's one in a billion
You've gotta be better than the rest
The rest are coming for him
It's as though he's a star
Just 'cause he follows you on Instagram
Doesn't mean he knows who you are
This is now
This is now
This is now
This is now
You should make your move
This is now
This is now
This is now
This is now
You should make your move
You don't have time to waste
So there's nothing to prove
This is now
This is now
This is now
This is now
You should make your move
You've gotta put yourself out there
And then he can choose
Give it all, you know you can
You've got nothing to lose
Scope out the competition
Make yourself so appealing
And when you get what you want you'll be
Dancing on the ceiling

Sunrise
03:50
|
|||
I feel the crash of the rain
But I'm here inside with you
And with so much we can gain
The life ahead we will go through
The thunderous sound in my ears
Proves that shedding of the tears
This is worth every single one
Every single one
Every single one
A vortex in the unknown
A great schism in our heart
But we roar against the darkness
We shall never be apart
And we struggle on and on
Until we reach that sunrise
We struggle on and on and on
Till we reach the sunrise
An impish smile makes me feel strong
I shield you from internal strife
I'm bid to flee, an action wrong
But I'll stand here, and will for life

Cold war
04:01
|
|||
I've been here before
It's a cold war
I don't want it any more
It isn't impressive
You're so passive-aggressive
I don't want it any more
Take a long, hard look in the mirror
Are you proud of what you see?
There's no love any more
Between you and me
It's a constant silent battle
And I'm so sick and tired
Of the devastation wrought
Without a shot being fired
It's a cold war
It's a cold war
It's a cold war
It's a cold war

Who's that boy?
03:41
|
|||
Who's that boy
I saw you with last night?
I just want to know
I don't wanna cause a fight
You seemed so happy
Such a smile across your face
Tell me who's that boy?
Have I been replaced?
Who's that boy?
Tell me he's just a friend
Lately you've been so distant
Could this be the end?
We used to be so happy
And it's gone without a trace
Tell me, who's that boy?
Have I been replaced?
I want to believe
It's innocent
I want to believe you
One hundred percent
But it all stacks up
The evidence
Just tell me we're over
For all intents
Who's that boy?
I won't stand in your way
How far's it gone?
How old is he anyway?
Who's that boy?
I thought you should know
No one will ever love you
Enough to let you go
And I let you go
And I let you go

Go-go boy
03:13
|
|||
He's a go-go boy (go-go boy)
He doesn't want your love
He's a party boy (go-go boy)
He never has enough
Tight skin, beautiful smile
He's the reason you've been here for a while
He's got the body, he's got the moves
He knows how to get you in the mood
And when that song comes on
You're the only one in the room
A flash of eye-contact
Lap it up, feed and consume
And so, the story goes on
You wouldn't recognise him with his clothes on
And then your dream came true
When he smiled straight at you
And then that song came on
You were the only one in the room
A flash of eye-contact
Lap it up, feed and consume

You think you're alone
Don't be afraid
You think you're running out of time
But plans are laid
You've learned from your mistakes
So take my advice:
Don't repeat the situation
Lightning never strikes twice
Lightning never strikes
In the same place twice
Lightning never strikes
In the same place twice
Lightning never strikes
In the same place twice
Lightning never strikes
In the same place twice
Come into the sun
Burn off the sadness
Just take my hand
And join the madness

To make matters worse
04:40
|
|||
Oh, I'm sorry
I never meant to hurt you
And to make matters worse
I've been grumpy and terse
But I love you
Oh, don't worry
I've got a lot on my mind
But I know without you
I'm half a person, it's true
And I love you
Oh, I'm sorry
For all the pain that I've brought
But you're always so kind
When I'm out of mind
And I love you
Oh, don't worry
I'll be back on form soon
Once things settle down
Your patience knows no bounds
And I love you
Oh, I'm sorry
I know I say that too much
But the meaning is clear
When you hold me near
And I love you
Oh, don't worry
We'll take things day-by-day
'cause it's just me and you
We will see this all through
And I love you

Thoughts and prayers
03:43
|
|||
You can sit there asking why
But let me make it clear
Everybody has to die
So why are we living in fear
An inevitability
We shouldn't live in our nightmares
You've got to get out and live your life
Never mind the thoughts and prayers
(I'll pray for you)
Don't bother
(I'll save you)
Don't bother
(I'll pray for you)
Don't bother
(I'll save you)
Don't bother
You can watch it all unfold
Right there on your TV
Wait until that news is old
And abandoned predictably
We get showered with talking heads
Like merchants selling their wares
The response to anything
Is to send your thoughts and prayers
You've gotta live your life
As if no one cares
You've gotta grabe life by the horns
Don't waste time with thoughts and prayers
