Check Check, One, Two
The Floor is yours
All the songs not yet available in stores
The lights are dimming, it's almost time
When you'll get to hear a thought or two of mine.
I can't stop the breaks so i guess i'll just fuck it up
Another train delayed,
Another day half baked,
And I'm doing what I shouldn't!
And you will rue the day you sign your life away on a piece of fucking paper.
Do me a favour, do me a favour
And pay attention!

Raindrops and Roses and whiskers on kittens
These are a few of my favourite things
Unlike, skyscrapers and petrol and car emissions
When did we all just give in?
When a dog bites you, you could get rabies
When you have sex it often makes babies!
Where did it all go wrong?
Where has the innocence gone?
Has it escaped to the mountains?
What ever happened to Maria
What ever happened to those kids?
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Where did all the sunshine go?
and What happened to the songs we used to know
We used to know Oh Oh.
This country once united, and now its just a mess
Got women walking round in fuck-all clothing!
Others showing only their eyes, head to toe in a black dress - This aint equality we're promoting!
Kids know what sex is before they've left the womb
They're all smokin crack before they're fourteen
Their parents turn a blind eye
their hearts are made of stone.
Indifference in the masses is always rising!
Their queuing for the stations, their tanks all full of gas
But they keep complaining about the petrol prices rising.
But do they even consider every man, woman and child
suffering the bombs, so they can just keep driving!
The grades get lower as the skirts get shorter
Each little girl suddenly blessed with a daughter
I wonder what the hell they're putting in the water
'Cos nothing makes sense at all! (x 2 )
Whatever happened to Maria?
Whatever happened to those kids?
Do Re Mi Fa So La Ti Do
Where did all the sunshine go?
And what happened to the songs we used to know,
We used to know! Oh oh!
Oh oh oh
Raindrops on roses and whiskers on kittens
These are a few of my favourite things.
Unlike skyscrapers and petrol and car emissions
When did we all just give in?

Embark
03:28

Two strangers kiss in the dark
Both so afraid yet prepared to embark
Listening to songs of love and woe
As the sparks between them begin to grow
To get lost in your eyes
Makes me feel so alive!
'Cos i've never felt like this before
Feels like I've known you forever, oh.
It's the sweetest feeling!
When I'm with you it feels like I'm dreaming.
And I don't wanna let, you go.
No words only movements as your fingers glide
Through my hair, through my hands in the dark tonight.
So keep kissing me, I don't wanna forget this night!
And we won't go to sleep til the morning light
To get lost in your eyes
Makes me feel so alive!
'Cos i've never felt like this before
Feels like I've known you forever, oh.
It's the sweetest feeling!
When I'm with you it feels like I'm dreaming.
And I don't wanna let, you go.

What happened to society?
Everywhere I go
Everyone I see
Things are changing!
Why can't it be like it used to be when it was easy
We got these girls that look like boys in their skinny fit jeans
Kate Moss is their queen
Saying 'Do you know what I mean?'
Do you know what I mean?
We got these boys that look like girls in their skinny fit jeans from Topman magazine
Trying to be part of the scene
And Jeremy you can't save me from a life less ordinary
And Kate Nash, your lyrics are a load of trash
But we'll still listen to every word you scream
You scream
And I scream!
What the hell happened here?!
We got these girls that look like boys in their skinny fit jeans
Kate Moss is their queen
Saying 'Do you know what I mean?'
Do you know what I mean?
We got these boys that look like girls in their skinny fit jeans from Topman magazine
Trying to be part of the scene
And Jeremy you can't save us
From a lifetime of daytime television
And Kate Nash, your lyrics are a load of trash
But we'll still listen to every word you scream
You scream
And I scream!
What the hell happened here?!

She Walks Alone
03:57

They called her, Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds,
Though she never felt she shone so bright
She woke up in the morning with a
Hangover from day til night.
And i see her on the street corner
Yeah she wears a silhouette
And the guys drive past as they see her
Asking 'How much is it?'
I see you laughing all the time
With the people, people, people
And i'm going out of my mind missing you, my little one
I see you flirting with the guys
How they love you, love you, love you, for tonight
But when the morning comes
She walks alone
Now miss Lucy, she used to be such a nice young girl
I'd see her Momma all the time in church
She always looked like she had her halo on backwards
And now she's out all night
Popping pills, and powders up her nose
Yeah it shows, in her eyes.
In her eyes.
I see you laughing all the time
With the people, people, people
And i'm going out of my mind missing you, my little one
I see you flirting with the guys
How they love you, love you, love you, for tonight
But when the morning comes
She walks alone
Yeah i still see her mother late at church on a sunday night,
She's praying for her baby!
But Lucy she never came home
No she don't, no she don't
She stays out cloaked by the night.
I see you laughing all the time
With the people, people, people
And i'm going out of my mind missing you, my little one
I see you flirting with the guys
How they love you, love you, love you, for tonight
But when the morning comes
She walks alone
Her name was, Lucy in the sky with diamonds though she never felt she shone so bright.
She'd stay out from the darkness into the morning light
Get some sleep.

Loved & Learned
02:50

I watch the traffic pass me by and the clouds up in the sky
And i'm feeling fine.
I slightly stumble through the leaves, under the shadows of the trees
And i'm wondering where i'm gonna be in ten years time.
But you never know just what's around the corner
You never know where the road will go
And even when your days are getting harder
The paths you walk are the ones you were meant to follow
Cos you never know just whats around the corner
You never know where the road will turn
And even when your nights are growing colder
At least i know that i have loved and learned.
I'm sitting, staring out my window
Watching the leaves turn green to red
I need someone who returns my feelings
I need a place to rest my head.
I wish i could be where you are now
On a summers night, lying under the stars.
I'd give anything to get close to you
Lie there right beside you
Just to fall asleep in your arms.
But you never know just what's around the corner
You never know where the road will go
And even when your days are getting harder
The paths you walk are the ones you were meant to follow
Cos you never know just whats around the corner
You never know where the road will turn
And even when your nights are growing colder
At least i know that i have loved and learned.

Sterile Love
04:04
|

|
Your glasses matched your dirty tshirts
fraying and the seams and hanging off your meagre frame
i thought somebody ought to feed you
but the role i played was completely taken out of context
cos i never wanted to play your mother
scrolling through your history to figure out the truth
all i wanted was to feel you running through my veins
and not out into the streets
oh false lover
lying stoned and sterile
eyes glazed over
waiting for the ice to melt now
it was winter in our bed
and i was fucking freezing
trapped beneath the ice now
don't play dead i'm still breathing out
in and out
so beautiful at first soon became jaded
a hazy stream of events all rolled into a joint
i became so lost within the walls around me
but you didn't even notice i was gone at all
was it so wrong for me to wanna fuck you?
clawing at the love i thought we had
but then you closed the doors and clicked the download button
left me high and dry without a hand
oh false lover
lying stoned and sterile
eyes glazed over
waiting for the ice to melt now
it was winter in our bed
and i was fucking freezing
trapped beneath the ice now
don't play dead i'm still breathing out
in and out
I hope you're happy where you are now
with a girl hanging off your arm just like your tshirts
used to do
i think you look a bit of a fool now
but at least i'm getting mine which is more than i was used to with you
oh sterile lover
you're lying in bed with her now
my eyes are wide open
and i can see the light now
it is summer in my bed
and i am fucking boiling
lying on ruffled sheets now
naked and i'm inhailing without you
oh without you
without you.

chugga chugga chugga goes the train
as it pulls up into the station
pack up all your shit kids its time to go
pitter patter pitter patter goes the train
upon the windows
racing to get off first
mutter mutter mutter say the mommas to their children
please don't cause a scene my little ones
bang bang! goes the gun
signalling for us to get on
but we don't know where we're going or coming from
there's a party on the east side do you want to go
do you want to go?
but you can't if you got a star
sewn into your coat
gotta make it past them all
gotta make it through the wall
and they'll say that
they'll say that
it never happened it never happened
and they'll say that
they'll say that
it never happened to us, to us
and they'll say that
they'll say that
it never happened it never happened
and they'll say
and they'll say
and they'll say!
there's a party on the east side do you want to go

racing to get off first
mutter mutter mutter say the mommas to their children
please don't cause a scene my little ones
bang bang! goes the gun
signalling for us to get on
but we don't know where our mommas and daddys have gone
there's a party on the east side do you want to go
do you want to go?
but you can't if you got a star
sewn into your coat
gotta make it past them all
gotta make it through the wall
