Hole In The Head
04:38

|
Your will is breaking
Your hands keep shaking
Now I, I like to think that I did all that I could
We both know this is the final throw
The point is this now
You can't resist, it's like a
It's like a rattlesnake, a mouthful of foam
And you know, it's taking you down below
Don't stick around
If you can't deal with the crowd
Kicking a man as he's on the ground
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I need this like I need a hole in the head
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The doctor says you'd be better off dead
The never-ending chase, it's all over now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I need this like I need a hole in the head
Going down
Going down
The beat keeps crashing
Your life keeps passing you
You realise now that you've lost all that you gained
And you know, only yourself to blame
The clock is ticking
Your life is slipping now
I watch you like I watch a dog with a bone
And I know it's taking you down below
Don't stick around
If you can't deal with the crowd
Kicking a man as he's on the ground
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I need this like I need a hole in the head
Oh, oh, oh, oh
The doctor says you'd be better off dead
The never-ending chase, it's all over now
Oh, oh, oh, oh
I need this like I need a hole in the head
Going down
Going down
It's a busy time for me
I got to, got to raise a family
It's a busy time for me
I got to, got to raise a family
It's a busy time for me
I got to, got to raise a family
It's a busy time for me
I got to, got to raise a family
Too many times
I enabled your own crimes
No more, relax
Slip away

Stagnant (Up In Smoke)
05:45
|

|
Provocation
Aggravation
The clock is ticking
Just existing
Not achieving
Never ending
I don't think I need to explain myself to you
Retaliation
Validation
I kicked the habit
Look around
Everything's shut down
Not a sound
Crumbling to the ground
All the dreams that you once held so close have gone up in smoke
Dedication
Confrontation
Since the world begun
Just surviving
Not realising
No escaping
I don't think I need to explain myself to you
Intimidation
No retribution
Stumble and fall

Flame

And I am drawn to it
As it is to me
Its power reflects in my eyes
And I am drawn to it
As it is to me
Its power reflects in my eyes
Consume and conquer
As it does within
Can't put it out or let it grow
Let it grow
It flickers and fades but never dies
And I can't leave it
And it can't leave me
No no
It flickers and fades but never dies
And I can't leave it
And it can't leave me
Oh
No it can't leave me
And red runs through my veins
Takes control, takes the reins
It blinds my sensible side
And red runs through my veins
Takes control, takes the strain
Empowers my soul to fight

Under The Sun
04:08
|
|||
|
The chase is on and I'm in demand
I know this place like the back of my hand
I drop the bomb then I disappear
Made it plain I'm not needed here
But that's not the way I play
That's not what I planned for
Venture far into the unknown
Digging deep like a dog for a bone
In this life you can't always win
But don't go down without taking a swing
Away
Keep running away
Under the sun I head for home
Under the sun I stand alone
In the light I lose my head
Memories of simple days
Under the sun I fade away
Now's the time to face my fate
There's no way out - just do what you're told
Hope is gone, stuck in a hole
They'll make you beg, beg for your life
You gotta run, run through the night
But that's not the way I play
Not what I'm looking for
It grinds you down year after year
The stars align and all is clear
And if I'm found I won't be judged
With this rage running through my blood
Away
Keep running away
Under the sun I head for home
Under the sun I stand alone
In the light I lose my head
Memories of simple days
Under the sun I fade away
Now's the time to face my fate
Under the sun I head for shore
Under the sun my eyes explore
Consequences cross my mind
Memories of simple days
Under the sun I fade away
Now's the time to face my fate

Calendar

So funny how you see me in the dark
Naked truth so clear, so stark
What do we do this for?
You breathe like the daybreak, slow
Then you shine me like the stardust glows
What do we do this for?
Oh, oh, oh
When the day comes and the clothes are undone
There's only sweat here in this morning sun
Oh, what do we do this for?
Oh, what do we do this for?
I can feel you in the room
Without looking to find your face
Still don't know what I want from you
Don't think what I need is something you can do
When the taint starts and it's all run through
This talk is all the death of me and you
The sun won't heal these cuts of mine
All kisses and eyes turned blind
Oh, what do we do this for?
Oh, what do we do this for?
Oh, what do we do this for?
Oh, oh, oh
What do we do this for?
Oh, oh, oh
What do we do this for?

Dead End Boy
05:37
|
|||
|
You don't need to take what you've been given
Don't be what they want you to be
Kill the lights with a plan of your making
Why be bound when you can be free?
It's only money
I'm still somebody
It's only money
Take it and go
It's only money
And I'm not sorry
It's only money
Don't want to know
I'm a dead end boy
I'm a dead end boy
Could have lived my life in the fast lane
I'm a dead end boy
I'm a dead end boy
I've only got myself to blame

Down To The Bone
05:03

You've had your lows
You've had your highs
I won't pretend
I know it ain't a easy thing to swallow
Not easy to mend
It's not like it's been written in stone
It gives me something to fantasise
Somewhere to lay my head down
Just for one night
Oh, what d'ya say?
I know it's not what you want
Can you meet me half way?
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
To the bone
You got all these little lies
You hide so well
You lead where others follow
Under your spell
It ain't like we've never been here before
Ain't making a big surprise
Something to stand your ground for
Fight the fire
Oh, what d'ya say?
I know it's not what you want
Can you meet me half way?
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
To the bone
To the bone
Oh, what d'ya say?
I know it's not what you want
Can you meet me half way?
Ain't no shame in my game
Don't try to pass the blame
Ain't no shame in my game
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
One last time
Will you be mine?
I never meant to grind you down
Right to the bone
To the bone
To the bone
To the bone

Settle The Score
04:48
|
|||
|
Well I got out with zero blood on my hands
When others chose to keep on walking I ran
Even a dying dog could smell that rat
Don't act so eager cos it's starting to grate
Me, I know you ain't been narrow or straight
Just slow it down, always take care
It's only a game
It's only a game for us to follow
This road down which we have been led
Got the feeling that I, I've been here before
Can't remember what you wanted me for
You left me down, down on the floor
Come outside, settle the score
Wash this blood from our hands
Time to finally put this thing to bed
The time will come to tell my side of the tale
You keep on mocking but you know that you failed
Don't waste your time keeping up the act
It's only a game
It's only a game for us to follow
This road down which we have been led
Got the feeling that I, I've been here before
Can't remember what you wanted me for
You left me down, down on the floor
Come outside, settle the score
Wash this blood from our hands
Time to finally put this thing to bed
Got the feeling that I, I've been here before
Can't remember what you wanted me for
You left me down, down on the floor
Come outside, settle the score
Wash this blood from our hands
Time to finally put this thing to bed
Got the feeling that I, I've been here before
Can't remember what you wanted me for
You left me down, down on the floor
Come outside, settle the score
Wash this blood from our hands
Time to finally put this thing to bed

Ten Year Mistake
03:40
|
|||
|
I have nothing more to say
Oh I have nothing more to say
You, the promise you betrayed
Oh you, I damn you everyday
And after all you put me through
I still can't escape
So many times you hid the truth
My ten year mistake
I have nothing more to give
Oh I need something more than this
Oh you, slowly burning your own scar
Oh you, you let it go too far, far, ohhh
And after all you put me through
I still can't escape
So many times you hid the truth
My ten year mistake
Everybody told me
It's all just in my mind
Everybody told me
To leave it all behind
Fade away
Oooooh
And I'm silent from today

Someone Else's Lover
05:25
|
|||
|
Stop for a minute and ask yourself
Are you sure she forgot about me?
I did so many good things to her
I could be things you could never be
Try to stop yourself thinking about
The ways my hands touched her skin
Tell me to keep those hands off
It's so easy when she gives in
She's someone else's lover
While she's loving you
Someone's thinking of her
While you're thinking she's true
When you're there in her arms, in her legs
Don't you think I'm not there too?
She's someone else's lover
Don't expect she can get what she wants from you
I didn't want to be somebody's demon
Couldn't live with the good thing I'd found
Wasn't strong enough to last the distance
But it's hard to forget now
So stand up, look yourself in the mirror
Do you think you like what she might see
Tell me what's the worst that could happen
Don't you see, the worst is me?
She's someone else's lover
While she's loving you
Someone's thinking of her
While you're thinking she's true
When you're there in her arms, in her legs
Don't you think I'm not there too?
She's someone else's lover
Don't expect she can get what she wants from you

My Horse Was So High
05:17
|

|
Combine our guile, the chance is greater
My horse was so high I could not breathe
Stop my doubts from getting deeper
Recognised through gritted teeth
I understand
Sometimes you got to accept the offer
When someone lends a helping hand
I could not breathe
Ohhh, we stand together
Ohhh, we face our fate
As time goes by I still believe her
Ohhh, we share the weight
We make our way towards the border
Hand in hand, plan our escape
And I believe

I'm not long for this world
Almost my time to go
I'm not long for this world
Don't act surprised, I told you so
Another child is born so I must make way
I'm not long for this world
I'm not long for this world
I'm not long for this world
Had my fair share of thrills
Never planned on getting ill
I don't need help, I never pray
I'm not long for this world
Waiting for the day
You're heading my way
Sitting by the sun
Into my arms you'll run
I'm not long . . .
I'm not long for this world
I'm not long for this world
Body and mind both gone downhill
You can clear that cupboard full of pills
So many days I threw away
Make sure you say what you gotta say
I'm not long for this world
Please take care of my girls
I'm not long for this world
Please take care of my girls
Sing a song on my birthday
Memories never go away
Waiting for the day
You're heading my way
Sitting by the sun
Into my arms you'll run
And I would do it all again
Enjoy the sun, the spring, the rain
Yeah, I would do it all again
Enjoy the sun, the spring, the rain
Make the most of every day
We don't get long in this world
We're not long for this world
We're not long for this world
We're not long for this world
We're not long for this world
Make the most of every day
We don't get long in this world
