I tried to fight it
I can't defeat it
Think I'm on top - keeps on making me pay
I try to blank it
Expropriate it
No point resisting - it won't go away
And I can't claim redemption
Outcome - set in stone
Let's get this all straight
Before it's too late
Say what I need to say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And something's dying inside me
All my dreams fade away
This was never meant to be
All my dreams fade away
And suddenly I feel free
Got to make the most of my time
Almost reached the end of the line
Dirty
I can't deny it
I can't control it
It always leaves me fighting for breath
Always oppose it
Try to ignore it
It only drags me closer to death
And I can't tell you what you
Should do to release me
Let's get this all straight
Before it's too late
Say what I need to say
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And something's dying inside me
All my dreams fade away
This was never meant to be
All my dreams fade away
And suddenly I feel free
Got to make the most of my time
Almost reached the end of the line
Dirty
And something's dying inside me
All my dreams fade away
This was never meant to be
All my dreams fade away
And suddenly I feel free
Got to make the most of my time
Almost reached the end of the line

Stoke The Fire

All out attack
Leave nothing to chance
From the high ground, scan below
A figure caught in advance
Bugs crawling
Over his body
His eyes shut as you stare
Now he finds himself on his own
Doesn't seem to care
He's got a birthright, a decree
A small boy, a machine
He can't fail or succeed
I can't imagine that he'd kneel for me
Oh, kneel for me
He won't talk, can't be bought
Brought up the British way
Some call him a whipping boy
He never had much to say
His stature and value
Increase every day
I've had enough of this dead end show
Got to put him away
He's got a birthright, a decree
A small boy, a machine
He can't fail or succeed
I can't imagine that he'd kneel for me
Oh, kneel for me
No more excuses
Found the solution
Provoke the violence
Stoke the fire
Winston Churchill:
Sure I am that this day now
We are the masters of our fate
That the task which has been set us is not above our strength
That its pangs and toils are not beyond our endurance
As long as we have faith in our cause and an unconquerable will-power
Salvation will not be denied us
In the words of the Psalmist, "We shall not be afraid"
He's got a birthright, a decree
A small boy, a machine
He can't fail or succeed
I can't imagine that he'd kneel for me
He's got a birthright, a decree
A small boy, a machine
He can't fail or succeed
I can't imagine that he'd kill for me
Oh, kill for me

I Threw It All Away
05:18

Oh my heart
Oh my heart is thumping
Don't blame me for what I say
When the light goes off
I'll be on my way
Struck a chord
Took my reward
And then I threw it all away
I was adored
Now I'm ignored
Betrayed
And I don't care
No I don't care for nothing
Why give me the chance and then take it from me
Well my songs live on
Left me on my knees
Struck a chord
Took my reward
And then I threw it all away
I was adored
Now I'm ignored
Betrayed
Time will wash this all away
Take the bough and break it
Don't let apathy remain
Struck a chord
Took my reward
And then I threw it all away
I was adored
Now I'm ignored
Betrayed
Struck a chord
Took my reward
And then I threw it all away
I was adored
Now I'm ignored
Betrayed
It's underway
Redeem, restore
It's come around
I'm going back to where I was before
It's underway
Redeem, restore
It's come around
I'm going back to where I was before
I'm going back to where I was before
Was before
Was before
Oh

Please Take Me Home

You can't get higher
Than standing at the gate
Achieved the life within
Offload your burden
Before it's too late
The ride's about to begin
At the end of the day
When all's said and done
My highs, my lows
Won't you please take me home
Tired and confused
Took control of my fate
Worked hard to douse the flames
My flaws and failings
The lesson's been learned
Now I've no one else to blame
But it's all in the past
There's nothing more to say
My hopes, my fears
Won't you please take me home
At the end of the day
When all's said and done
And the rain has to fall
To make a hole in the sky
My time has come
And no one knows why
My time has come
And no one knows why
Won't you please take me home
Won't you please take me home
Please take me home

You only talk about money
You only talk about fame
You always talk about fashion
And all around you act the same
If that's all that you do
You won't get very far
Just runnin' round in circles
Oh, Oh
Oh, your life just passes by
One big opportunity
In the end, nothing achieved
Obsessed with the mundane
Obsessed with the mundane
You only talk about schooling
You only talk about bills
You only talk about working
No escape from the real
It's all about balance
Between the humdrum and glam
Why not change it while you can
Oh, Oh
Oh, your life just passes by
Addicted to celebrity
In the end, nothing achieved
Obsessed with the mundane
Obsessed with the mundane
Get off your phone
Get out of the house
Be the best that you can be
Get off your phone
Get out of the house
Got to make that breakthrough
Before the routine breaks you
Oh, your life just passes by
One big opportunity
In the end, nothing achieved
Obsessed with the mundane
Oh, your life just passes by
Addicted to celebrity
In this life, nothing for free
Obsessed with the mundane
Nothing for free
Obsessed with the mundane
Obsessed with the mundane
Obsessed with the mundane

Trying to win you round, trying to make you see
He can't give no guarantee
Don't make a move, stand your ground
Oh don't be too up cos he'll bring you down.
Oh don't just stand there sweating
No regretting
What will be will be
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
You've made your bed - he won't set you free
Lock you up, throw away the key
You might have seen this all before
Don't know what you're looking for
Oh in the water, treading
The way you're heading
You're going all the way
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
If you've gotta do something, don't do what Jack does
Don't do what Jack does

Bloodstains on the streets
You start to turn a blind eye
9 to 5 fight against the heat
You're being forced to comply
What's going on under this burning sky?
No energy to shout
I only hear it in my head
I can't escape the darkness
On this road I tread
As time goes by under this burning sky
Oh, oh, oh, oh, day by day
Oh, oh, oh, oh, slowly fading away
Just keep on living
Keep on believing it's OK
Dark to light it has begun
Dark to light it has begun
When all around's confusion
I always find a resolution
I keep an eye on everyone
We vote them in so they can
Meet and discuss
All they have are thoughts and prayers
No one left to trust
So why am I under this burning sky?
Oh, oh, oh, oh, day by day
Oh, oh, oh, oh, slowly fading away
Just keep on fighting
Keep on believing it's OK, it's OK
Dark to light it has begun
Dark to light it has begun
When all around's confusion
I always find a resolution
I keep an eye on everyone
Dark to light it has begun
Dark to light it has begun
When all around's confusion
I always find a resolution
I keep an eye on everyone
On everyone
On everyone
A burning sky over everyone

Kindred Foes

Nothing to live for
Under this sky
All your hope's gone
Yeah, your dreams have run dry
There's no breakthrough
It's an eye for an eye
No matter what you do
You're going home in a bag
A bullet in your skull
Bring it all to an end
But no one can can doubt you
Oh, you got to pretend
Hold your head high
Yeah, you got to believe
In a strange way
You start to feel free
Break the impasse
Prepare to destroy
Take the high ground
Your plan you deploy
The night is so black
An unholy roar
And your kindred foes
Fall to the floor

In The Gutter Lay

Autumn broke the boy
When the leaves they fell no more
And all his hope is gone
Ignorance of youth
Could never see the rainbow's end
The innocence corrode
On a razorblade
A loser in your game
But I won't make the same mistake
Bitter taste of truth
He could not see the rainbow's end
The writing on the wall
You tried to change
Into a selfless man
You only care for number one
Oh, Oh, Oh
Yeah, you caught me unaware
My name defamed
And in the gutter lay
Feel like you don't belong
Get down on your knees and pray
Your work here's just begun
In stone for evermore
It was never going to go your way
When all was said and done
You act so fake
It's the only way you can
Get through all of this again
Oh, Oh, Oh
Yeah, you caught me unaware
My name defamed
And in the gutter lay
Oh, Oh, Oh
Yeah, you caught me unaware
My name defamed
And in the gutter lay
Misled
With my back against the wall
You had your chance
My heart's gone its own way
My heart's gone its own way
In the gutter where you play

Judge and Jury

The dog sniffs the air in anticipation
His downtrodden master has yet to waken
As the smug city scorns and scolds
Humanity in a broken down bus shelter
This man has faced a storm and lost
His spirit shattered, does it matter?
Oh, does it matter?
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
Toxic fumes engulf his frame
As in a cloud of poison and hate
We are tainted like the rust around him
This dirty, unshaven, drunken sod
This godforsaken human being
His life is ebbing, not fit for purpose
Oh, why bother?
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
He's got a name, he's got a mother
The dog sniffs the air in anticipation
Motionless, lying prostate on the ground
His dog is weeping.
