another day, another week, another month, another year,
it's aII the same
another second, another minute, another hour, another time
around the block
my heart is aching beyond belief
my body yearning for relief
my mind is weary form aII this grief
the unbearable heaviness of being
and i'm not sure just how Iong
i can be bothered to carry on
i think the word your after is ad nauseum
teII me how can u expect enthusiasm?
teII me now my dearest friend
when and where wiII this aII finaIIy end?
my heart is aching beyond belief
my body yearning for relief
my mind is weary form aII this grief
the unbearable heaviness of being

A Waste Of My Time
04:35
|
|||
some mornings i just don't wanna get out of my bed
some days i just puII the cover back over my head
some time it's hard to find my proper motivation
to be or not to be? the king of procrastination
i know the script off by heart
i just don't think i'm the actor for the part
it's just a waste of my time
and already so much has passed
the pleasures aII yours not mine
so enjoy it while it lasts
somebody told me: "why don't u just snap out of it?!"
how "this is just our lot in life" or some other cliched buIIshit
sometimes i feel like laying it out plain as day
but i know if i did, i'd blow their tiny minds away
'cos i think i sussed out the game
and i'm choosing not to play
it's just a waste of my time
and already so much has passed
the pleasures aII yours not mine
so enjoy it while it lasts
tick, tock... i'm counting every
second/minute/hour until i get away...

Wedding Bells
05:09
|

wedding bells
every summertime u can tell
you'll be hearing those wedding bells
seems like everyday...
take a breath
before u walk up these old church steps
take good stock of what's up ahead
and everything left behind
wedding march
let the ceremony now start
watch the union of two sweethearts
and a meeting of minds
wedding vows
too late, there's no escape route now
unless your planning on running out
and ruining everyone's day
(no way!)
and if u say that u do - u better mean it
and if u swear to be true - u better keep it
and if u promise, u fool,
u best believe it's for forever
share the wealth
bound in sickness and bound in health
throw it all in the wishing well
cross your fingers and pray
now everyone
is looking happy and really drunk
they've been drinking since the day begun
it's just one of those days
wedding night
throw the bouquet and off u drive
though the wedding dress wasn't white
it's time to consummate
(great!)
wedding guests
all disperse in a noisy mess
in the knowledge it's safe to bet
next year they'll do it again
(for another friend)
and if u say that u do - u better mean it
and if u swear to be true - u better keep it
and if u promise, u fool,
u best believe it's for forever
well if u say that u do - u better mean it
if u swear to be true - u better keep it
if u promise, u fool,
u best believe it's for forever
(for forever)

Poppin' Out Babies!
01:55
|
|||
everybody's poppin' out babies
out of the blue!
it's aII the rage and i'm a 'Johnny come lately'
but what should i do?
now don't get me wrong i really like the little critters
(more than adults in fact!)
but when u get bored of trying to be a superhero
well, u can't give 'em back
and don't get it twisted, they don't irritate me
(in fact i relate!)
but there's a world of a difference between being a parent
and doing it great
everybody's poppin' out babies
i don't know why!
it's aII the rage and i'm a 'Johnny come lately'
but i've still got a life...
well there's just not enough hours in the day
to give a kid all that they really need
there's just not enough money in the world
to protect them from the shit that they'll eventually see...
but still everybody keeps on poppin' out babies...

Life Like A Vacuum
05:48
|
|||
show me a hero
and i'll write u a tragedy
show me a tune
and i'll sing it out of key
how do u feel at the end of the day?
cos I'm not happy to be alone
what would u do if i took u away?
would u never ever want to go home?
life like a vacuum
don't it just suck?
life is what happens
when you're in-between busses
show me a sunset
and i'll buy us one way tickets
tell me you'll follow
and i'll stop playing chicken
how do u feel when i leave u at night?
cos i hate to be sleeping alone
what would we do if we weren't always fighting?
would we get bored and not want to know?
life like a vacuum
don't it just suck?
life is what happens
when you're in-between busses
i find it hard to understand
the bits that are in-between the ads
i find it hard to fathom out
what this world is all about
i find myself counting sheep whilst awake
i guess it boils down to give and take
but i've have enough of giving
and i've had enough of living
show me u love me
and don't just say it
do something special
and i might just believe it
how do u feel at the end of the day?
cos I'm not happy to be alone
what would u do if i took u away?
would u never ever want to go home?
how do u feel when i leave u at night?
cos i hate to be sleeping alone
what would we do if we weren't always fighting?
would we get bored and not want to know?
life like a vacuum
don't it just suck?
life is what happens
when you're in-between busses
i'm in-between busses

Grow Up
05:18
|
|||
("what do u want to be when u grow up?")
do u remember when we used to rock?
do u remember when we never used to watch the clock?
do u remember when we used to have fun?
or was it all a side effect of the drugs?
well if so then we'd better get high
and see if we can't find a good time...
what say we get real drunk
and take a tonne of drugs
and never ever grow up?
oh no i'll never ever grow up
i'll never sell out
i'd rather die young and leave a good looking corpse
(responsibility sounds like a punishment to me)
do u remember when we used to be cool?
do u remember when good music wasn't called 'old school'?
do u remember when the future looked bright?
or did we all meet up in a previous life?
well, if so i'm thinking this life sucks
but i'm so tired of giving a fuck
"hey, me from the past!
this is me from the future
with some good advice
so please take it!
get it while u can
cos it's downhill from here
there's so little time left
so don't waste it!"
what say we get some drugs
and get a bit fucked up
and never ever grow up?
no never ever grow up
oh no i'll never ever grow up
i'll never sell out
i'd rather die young and leave a good looking corpse
until the fucking grim reaper or the men in the white coats!
i'll never grow up!
i promise (u)
i swear that (i)
i'll never grow up

Must Be More To Life
05:17
|
|||
well there must be more to life than being than being a savage
well there must be more to life than being sad
well there must be more to life than the same routine everyday
must be more to life than going mad
well there must be more to life than being than chasing money
well there must be more to life than getting pissed
well there must be more to life than eating pussy
well there must be something more to life that we all missed
cos it feels like someone's taking the piss!
chorus:
well for once i want to try be and be a little bit smarter
well i could always be a little kinder too
well if for once i could Iive up to want i want from others
then i could stop hating me and start loving u
for once i want to rise above my animal instinct
but even more than than that i want to fight my fear
well if for once i could just get my shit together
then i could give u one good reason i'm here...
(so listen closely u hear...)
hook:
well there must be more to life than this
must be more to life
well there's got be more to life than this
eat - sleep - work - fuck - die!
well there's got to be more to life than this Darwin shit
more purpose to our existence than fear
fear or failure, fear of strangers, fear of being fucking poor
well i'm telling u now, there's just got to be more!
more to life than what's on tv
more to life than getting high
much more to life than working every waking hour
more to life than fucking living a lie
(must be more to life than this there must be more to life than this)
chorus
(or is this all there is?)
hook
well there must be more to life than this Darwin shit
more purpose to my existence than a big ball of mud
more then war and pain and fucking suffering
more than all this fighting about god!
well there must be must be more to life than empty promises
much more than broken dreams
well there must be more to life than negative energy
so much more than what this shitty world seems
(must be more to life than this there must be more to life than this)
chorus
(or is this all there is?)
more to life
more to life
more to life
there must be must be more to life...
hook
i'm searching for meaning...

03:31
|
|||
i'm not telling
no, i'm not telling
no, i won't tell
it's not working
i'm not lying
you're not joking
feels like dying
you're no idiot
i'm no use
it's no surprise that i'm no good for u
you're not stupid
i'm not well
it's not right that i put u through hell
so many stories to tell
but u don't buy it
and i'm not selling
no i'm not telling u anything u didn't know
it's not enough
i'm not ready
you're not happy
i wish i was dead
you're not stupid
i'm not well
it's not right that i put u through hell
you're no idiot
i'm no use
it's no surprise that i'm no good for u
but what can we do?
it's not new, it's nothing that u
haven't heard a million times before
but u don't buy it
and i'm not selling
no, i'm not telling u anything u didn't know
so why the shocked expression?
why are u walking out that door?
cos i'm not telling u anything u haven't
heard at least a million times before
no i'm not telling u anything u haven't
heard before
i'm no idiot
you're no use
no surprise that i'm no good for u
you're not stupid
i'm not well
it's not right that i put u through hell
so many stories to tell
but i'm not telling
no i'm not telling
no, i won't tell

|

(never ever ever lose your wiII to dream)
i Iost my dreams
or were they stoIen?
snatched right out of my brain

running away from my pain
the dreamsteaIers Ieft me bruised and broken
i'II never ever be the same
no i'II never ever be the same.

The Answer(s)
05:09
|
|||
it's like i'm standing on the edge of an epiphany
if i could only see what's right in front of me
as if some massive revelation is ahead of me
yet to be said to me, just lingering to of reach
that's why i keep on pushing on and on
one time a trip to a museum did reveal to me
the many things to see when someone's mind is free
other dimensions in the spectrum revealed visibly
so far beyond 3d, between the pink and green
i see...
somewhere up ahead there must be an answer
somewhere up ahead there's a clue
somewhere up ahead there must be all the answers
on this long hard road to the truth
that's why i keep on pushing on and on
until i reach the end of the line
in every line and wrinkle on your face as u get old
impressionistic code for stories never told
just as the climate and environment you're exposed to
sets a prevailing mood, brings something out of u.
(that's why i keep on pushing on and on)
it's true...
(the truth will come to u - will show itself to u)
if all the pieces of the puzzle come to fit in time
keeping together is the best that u can do...
somewhere up ahead there must be an answer
somewhere up ahead is a clue
somewhere up ahead there must be all the answers
on this long hard road to the truth
that's why i keep on pushing on and on
until i reach the end of the line
i keep on pushing now
i keep on pushing!
somewhere up ahead there must be an answer
somewhere up ahead is the truth
well i just keep on pushing on and on
yeah i keep on pushing on and on
until i reach the end of the line

Life Here On Earth
02:18
|
|||
your life here on earth
from tiny sperm to food for worms
from the womb to the grave
love and hate
joy and pain
from the moment you're born
you're one step closer to the day u die
but if the concept of time
doesn't run in a straight line
and if perception is based
on reception of a limited range
then the concept of life
must be wider than
your line of sight
your life here on earth
from tiny sperm to food for worms
from the womb to the grave
joy and pain
love and hate
so many would claim
that there's no escape
from a fate we don't make
when Boethius agrees
with Snoop Dogg
we should all take heed
if molecular state
is in constant flux
in the subtlest ways
then vibrations will change
affecting everything within their range
vibrate
create
elevate/emanate
resonate
make your fate

No Obituary
03:15
|
|||
("that's after all the bollockings i get for doing sod all all the time...")
on the day that i died
there were no tears
there was no sorrow
after all these long years
no one's gonna miss me
no one's gonna cry
no hands held up to heaven
or sobs asking "why?"
no obituary in the paper
not a short line to list me
no need for a tombstone
cos no one's gonna miss me
on the day that i died
there was no grief
the world let out
a sigh of relief
no one's gonna miss me
no one's gonna cry
no hands held up to heaven
or sobs asking "why?"
no obituary in the papers
not a short line to list me
no need for a tombstone
cos no one's gonna miss me
