I Bit The Bullet
03:23

Take this water drink it from my hands
Drink it all for me, drink it all for you
Take my clothes rip them from my skin
I am worthless I am paying for my sins
This is the furthest I've been without you
And I'm completely lost
I bit the bullet and it broke my teeth
Tell me whose in control? My memory is narrow
I am woosey and weak but this is hardly rare
Loosen the noose. Release me from the gallows.
I am a starving boy. Running from my shadow
This is the furthest I've been from nowhere
And I'm completely gone
I bit the bullet and it shattered my dreams
Blinding sun is in my eyes nearly makes me cry
I am so sorry that I'm not a machine
You can't fix me I was never ill
I'm strong as an ox
Life is still a thrill
This is the furthest I've been from safety
And I'm completely done
I bit the bullet and broke me
Use escape routes or arguments
I can see it now you give me the blame
For poisoning the air
Crush me like a car throw me to the scrap
I am in control your life is on my lap
This is the furthest I've been without you
And I'm completely fine
I bit the bullet as hard as I could
I'm completely fine
I bit the bullet as hard as I could
I’m completely fine
I bit the bullet and it shattered my dreams
I'm completely fine
I bit the bullet and it broke my teeth

Monster
03:11
|

Fever rushes through my bones oh no
Growing wings to go it alone oh no
Just suck it up suck it up
No-one here gives a flying
Cough it up cough it up
Cause it's stuck in your lungs
I hate to swear and lose my head
This monster inside me needs fed
A black abyss is what I dread
(I need to) place good thoughts inside my head
You're holding back on me I think you are
But you can’t do that to me
You can’t do that to me
Just suck it up suck it up
No-one here gives a flying
Cough it up cough it up
Cause it's stuck in your lungs
I hate to swear and lose my head
This monster inside me needs fed
A black abyss is what I dread
(I need to) place good thoughts inside my head
Place good thoughts inside my head

I was crushed by an an angel
I was crushed to the core
I wasn't taken up with her
I was flat on the floor
Oh how I wish I could follow
Just to see how it felt
I am no angel
Yet I am in perfect health
Why is this so?
Lord help me
Lord save me
Lord know
There's plenty of love when it grows
But twisting the key don't open doors
I’ve had to kick through the lock on yours
Alcohol is sweet on my pallet
But it starts fights
God help you if you look at her wrong
I was crushed by an angel
We used to sit on the wall
She used to tell me her secrets
But never told me them all
Oh how I wish I could follow
Just to see how it felt
I am no angel
Yet I am in perfect health
Why is this so?
Lord help me
Lord save me
Lord know
There's plenty of love when it grows
But twisting the key don't open doors
I had to kick through the lock on yours
Alcohol is sweet on my pallet
But it starts fights
God help you if you look at her wrong

Summers grey and old but I am here still
Winters cold but at the back of my throat there's pain
I can see that you're good to me I know
You can give me anything
Hand on heart we’d a rocky start but now
Everything you do blows my mind
Traffics stopped we'd be better off walking
Your lips are moving so I guess that you're talking still
I am elsewhere I always am
One day I will pass your exam
You can see that I'm in a dream again
I swear my head lives in the clouds
Hand on heart if we ever part I’d collapse
Everything you do blows my mind
Talent like yours is rare I know
You could make me anything
Colour glows on the canvas shows you’re pure
Everything you do blows my mind

Remember June?
03:00
|
|||
Since I’ve fallen south
With my devilish mouth
I think I’ve gone insane
Emptying my brain
I wanna get inside
Your mind to ask
Do you remember June?
Mid summer with you
Yeah I remember june
Under cover
Blue sky at night knocked me out
Yeah it knocks me out
Lying on the grass
Dreaming of the past
Replaying each scene
An impossible dream
And I slowly get inside
Your mind
Yeah I remember June
Mid summer with you
Yeah I remember june
Under cover
Blue sky at night knocks me out
Yeah it knocks me out
Oh oh oh
Do you remember June?
Mid summer with you
Yeah I remember june
Under cover
Blue sky at night knocks me out
Yeah it knocked me out

Final Whistle
03:30
|
|||
I've seen it now too many times
To try and read between the lines
You give away nothing
I hurt you with a thousand crimes
I'll get it right I know I will
After the final whistle blows
All you need is me and my company
But I am sober
And I am drenched
With the love a have for you
Just come home
I'll still be here
After the final whistle blows
After the final whistle blows
I'll kiss your head down to your toes
I see a home inside your eyes
A place I go when I despise
All the world and everything
But you give me hope
And you give me love
All I need is you
You're my everything
You're a sparkle in a dark world
I cannot live with the light
I still mean it
Every word
I am shield against the storm
So come home early
I'll light the fire
I need to give you everything
I am sober
And I am drenched
With the love a have for you
Just come home
I'll still be here
After the final whistle blows
After the final whistle blows
After the final whistle blows
After the final whistle blows
After the final whistle blows
The time when everybody goes
I'll still be standing here
You in love with me is my everything

Feed The Lions
03:19
|
|||
Without worry or permission
I know where you’ve been fishing
For sharks in our seas
And I know where you hide the teeth
Young enough to be so fucked up
You can’t feel the fist
Flying through the air
You’re old and wiser now bud
Someone read me a poem or sing me a harmony
Someone feed the lions they’re lickin' their lips and staring at me
Take me anywhere you want to
I’ll be the perfect passenger
I’ll stare out the windows and trees
Or I’ll listen to your music
Fast blood runs through me
I’ll sharpen my arrow
Shoot sharks in our seas
I’ve turned into a killer
Someone read me a poem or sing me a harmony
Someone feed the lions they’re lickin' their lips and staring at me
We are all just cubs who’ve left our packs to find some meat
Sometimes all we need is a poem or a harmony to help us sleep
Someone read me a poem or sing me a harmony
Someone feed the lions they’re lickin' their lips and staring at me

Old Grass Tennis Court
03:25
|

I am here and I am there
My face is everywhere
I hear my name a lot
But I quite like my family name
And I enjoy the shame I bring to it
Come back to Paris I’m still here
By the carousel of fear
Red wine by the Seine
Mahogany veneer yet you will only hear
These feelings when I’m lit
Come join us here by the overgrown
Old grass tennis court I think that it’s our own
We’ll stay here for hours cause no-one knows it’s here but us
You made the bus disappear
Future kings of Spain were near
You made me laugh to tears
I urinated in the room so I clearly thought that you
Would run for miles
Edinburgh’s sky lines clear
Arthur’s memories are dear
Your mother is here with us
Although now not in flesh
I’m sure that she would bless me as a son in law
Come join us here by the overgrown
Old grass tennis court I think that it’s our own
We’ll stay here for hours cause no-one knows it’s here but us
This paradise is now disused
Except by summer drinking youths
Whose parents aren’t aware
But I can’t help but drift away
To a tournament back in the day
And I’m cheering you on
Come join us here by the overgrown
Old grass tennis court
It is ours today
Happy puppy barks
Little red flanger and you and I
Come join us here by the overgrown
Old grass tennis court I think that it’s our own
We’ll stay here for hours
No-one knows it’s here but us

Glasgow
03:39
|
|||
It was a minute past noon on train speeding fast
Through the dark foggy hills outside Glasgow
Wipe the sweat from my brow
And the tears from my eyes
I was tired but I had to keep moving
I’ll remember that “fuck you” forever
And the whistling wind
6 feet stomped on my back
When I called Marian to tell her
She said I had to keep singing
And that one day we’d form a band
Called No Doughnuts For Dogs
We have the name but no songs
Cause I feel the weight of the world on my back
I keeled over today
All I see is black and the blood on the tracks
But I had to leave Glasgow behind
I had to leave Glasgow behind
It was 8 in the morning on Haverstock Hill
Mary take me to the Heath
I can’t sing tonight but I know that i will
Take a deep breath and throw on my armour
I remember that hug I gave Amy and my leaves fell off
I left them to die there in Camden
These 3 angels saved me
They’re my guiding star
Now everything I see on the horizon
Is endless beauty to me
Endless beauty is all I see
Cause I feel the weight of the world on my back
I keel over today
All I see is black and the blood on the track
But I had to leave Glasgow behind
The rose that I live for had withered and died
I had to leave Glasgow behind
I had to leave Glasgow behind

Always Changing
03:34
|
|||
Half light in the morning time
I can see it in your eyes you’ve been crying
I know it’s all a waste of time
See I never will forget the dark tint of your words
Your words
I am not the same any more
I am always changing
Half light I could barely see
Everything I love was dying
In front of me
The fog lifts, its a distant dream
But I never will forget the sweet sound of your words
Your words
I am not the same any more
I am always changing
Come back
I am not the same any more
I am always changing
