The Bitter End
03:30
|

You were more than a lover
So much more than a friend
I let you keep my heart
Until the bitter end
You found religion quick
It put us in a bind
You tried to push too fast
I guess we had our time
Slow yourself down my friend
All your love was bad for me
Bad for me
Oh we never would have reached the end
All your love was bad for me
Bad for me
Wrapped around your finger
I tried my best to please
You threw away the diamond
I'd hidden up my sleeve
Too many brothers and sisters
Too many hearts to tame
Take off your tinted glasses
I bet I'm still to blame
Slow yourself down my friend
Take your pain away from me
Away from me
You know I’ll love you to the bitter end
But all your love was bad for
Bad for me

The Comeback
05:12
|

Burn, burn, burn
As the pages turn
Filled with passion and fire
I’ve spread my pain
All throughout this land
Flying higher and higher
On the wings of love
They’ve dragged me down
And helped me tie my noose
Ashes and heartbreaks
I’ve worn them as my shroud
Until life cut me loose
And all that’s said
Becomes undone
Freedom
You will know my name
Freedom
I’m alive again
The comeback kid
yeah he rides again
Freedom
You will know my name
Yearn, yearn, yearn
As the worm it turns
Turns away from the mire
I’ll cut my cord
From my overlords
And build their funeral pyre
Oh the wings of love
They’ve dragged me down
But watch me rise again
7/11 yeah I’ll wear my crown
The old mans back again
I will comeback just to prove myself
I will return again just to try

Codename: Softboi

Flicking through your magazines
In his favourite polo neck
He watches documentaries
To keep his feminism...fresh
All alone his heart it bleeds
Cos he heard it makes you wet
He’s gonna say you’ve lost your mind
Just to get you into bed
Go on and put the gaslight out
Cos he’s acting out
Like a boisterous lout
Oh yeah
Let the oceans dry right out
And watch him freaking out
While he’s doing nowt
Oh yeah
He quotes Dostoevsky
Then says your favourite band is shit
Yeah
He’s got his virtue signals on
And think Tame Impalas lit
He loves Tarantino films
But think Pulp Fiction is kitsch
He sends you nudes all of the time
While posting pseudo new age skits
No one understands
Because he’s special
No one understands
Because your special
S-O-F-T-B-O-I
Don’t let him plant that seed of doubt
He’s just acting out
He’s a boisterous lout
Don't let him plant that seed of doubt
He's just acting out
He's a boisterous lout

You're The Only One
04:25
|
|||
Sometimes it rains heavy
Even down in Mexico
And sometimes in your heart
You just know
You’re the only one
On my mind tonight
You may not know me well
But it’ll be alright
People keep on walking
Even through their darkest days
And like a lighthouse in the storm
Love lights our way
Cos baby when I took your hand
I want to be your man

Bad Girl
03:22
|
|||
Just another bad girl
Trying to make it in a bad world
Just another bad girl
Trying hard to
Get through
Trying to make it through to you
She made me feel like
Made me feel like
I had to know
(Wind her up and watch her go)
She made me feel like
Made me feel like
I had to go

Holloway Nights
04:04
|
|||
Vultures hover these streets tonight
Hanging out for something new
But she don’t say she loves me
Even when I say I do
These corners flash by on Holloway nights
I see the fervour in the crowd
But she don’t hear the question
Even when I shout I lit loud
Don’t say you’re running from love
Just say you’re running from me
Call me Mrs Stockholm
Get that bitch on the line
She’s got another hostage
She should be doing time

Heavy Manners
03:35
|
|||
You hard nosed, homegrown, homophobe
Just back off
Eye contact made
Yeah I’m costing you off
Just piss off
You see I’m begging you please
To get up off your knees
Just back off
Acting like you know
My teeth they itch and toes
They curl up
(Just fuck off)
You think you look so bloody smooth
Boy that mirror sure lies to you
You cannot be in your right mind
Go find another axe to grind
You think you look so bloody smooth
Boy that there mirror lies to you
Waste my time,
Keep me running around the block
While you’re fucking around
Working
You say that you’re working when I know that you’re not
You’re a cheap, low rent con artist
(Cheap excuses mate)
And I’ve had enough
So when you’re rolling around town like Sylvester Stallone in your Ford Focus
Tearing up that naan like a horny teenager on the passenger seat
Nah, you can piss off mate
I don’t need it
I don’t need ya

Should Have Known Better
03:47
|
|||
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better than to fall in love
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
I wish I’d never met her
I should’ve known better than to call it love
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
Deep inside
She only cared
What clothes I’d got
Who cut my hair
But deep inside
I’d thought she’d know
How deep I felt
How far I’d go
I don’t want her reasons
I don’t care about them, not anymore
I said I don’t want this freedom
I don’t dream about it
Not anymore
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better than to fall in love
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better than to fall in love
I wish I’d never met her
I should’ve known better than to call it love
I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better
Maybe sometimes I still miss her
But I should’ve known better
I should’ve known better than to fall in love

In The Name
05:22
|
|||
I papered over cracks when I met her…
Sure I said I was maybe something else
Or somebody slightly better adjusted than I actually am
(I papered over cracks)
But I was trying to show you that I cared
That I was patient and willing to wait around for you
That this was the best man I knew I could be
And the man you made me want to be
And yeah, sure it came back and bit me harder than I ever deserved in the first place
But I don’t care
I was just trying to
Paint the crack
Cover my tracks
Get it back
I papered over cracks when I met her
I papered over cracks just to gain her trust
To prove to her that I was better
A pathetic excuse in the name of lust
I papered over cracks when I met her
My self esteem couldn’t get enough
I’m knocking down walls with my ego
A double entendre in the name of love
In the name of love
You tell me
You love me so much but you hurt
Anyway
I papered over, papered over cracks
And now I want my future back
Who am I meant to be?
Who will you let me see?
Maybe this time I’m not going to come running back…I’m holding on…
