Let's Not Meet Again
03:01
|
|||
So how are you?
Since we are through
Seems to me you're up to 3 while i'm at 2
Is this a test?
That's nothing new
I'm up to here with our veneer over what's true
Let's not meet again if we want to stay friends
Everything works out fine
When we're both resigned
Let's not meet again I don't want to depend
On you, or you on me
There's nothing left for us to see this through
I can see
That you agree
When we talk awkwardly just leave it be
I'll see you round
But not near me
We'll go down in flames in the same vicinity
Let's not meet again if we want to stay friends
Everything works out fine
When we're both resigned
Let's not meet again I don't want to depend
On you, or you on me
There's nothing left for us to see this through
Let's not meet again if we want to stay friends
Everything works out fine
When we're both resigned
Let's not meet again I don't want to depend
On you, or you on me
There's nothing left for us to see this through

Mr Never Wrong
02:14
|

And I don't disagree
But you'll never succeed
Convincing them over tea
Better off if you'd plead
We're on the same page we sing the same song
He's not always right but he's been too long
Mr never wrong
Maybe give them some space
I'm on your side in this chase
But there's a time and a place
For you to get in their face
We're on the same page we sing the same song
He's not always right but he's been too long
Mr never wrong
We're on the same page we sing the same song
He's not always right but he's been too long
Mr never wrong

No Need For Me
03:17
|
|||
Honestly I wish you both the best
You'd never think I'd get it off my chest
But I don't know if I could leave
Without letting you know relief
Cuz I can see there's no destiny
My heart is on my sleeve evidently
You should be a king and queen you see
There's no need for me
There's no need for me
You should know you are not to blame
You should go to those who feel the same
But I don't want you guilty
Of boredom in the first degree
Cuz I can see there's no destiny
My heart is on my sleeve evidently
You should be a king and queen you see
There's no need for me
There's no need for me
There's no need for me
Cuz I can see there's no destiny
My heart is on my sleeve evidently
You should be a king and queen you see
There's no need for me

High Fidelity
02:33
|
|||
I don't even wanna know
Where you were or what you did
There's nothing you could say
That would interest me a bit
You keep talking anyway
Waste my precious time
The only thing that's mine
I'm your high fidelity audio quality stereophonic
You keep performing
I'm not recording
I'm your high fidelity audio quality stereophonic
You keep performing
I'm not recording
And I don't even really care
About where you've been or what you've seen
If the subject changed teams
You'd extend the same courtesy
When I need to blow off steam
You're not listening
So what am I missing
I'm your high fidelity audio quality stereophonic
You keep performing
I'm not recording
I'm your high fidelity audio quality stereophonic
You keep performing
I'm not recording
What am I missing
If you're not listening
What am I missing
If you're not listening
What am I missing
If you're not listening
Then what am I missing
I'm your high fidelity audio quality stereophonic
You keep performing
I'm not recording
I'm your high fidelity audio quality stereophonic
You keep performing
I'm not recording

Chuck Taylors
03:16
|

Remember when nights would never end as long as people show'd you love
And you could push the envelope if somebody gave you a shove
And i'd know and you'd know
We'd never grow old
Chuck taylors with grit in the seams
Bad favours were necessary
We didn't mean
To burn down your scene
We'll be redeemed
We knew that we we'd be evergreen
We knew that we we'd be evergreen
Dirty tricks and an old pair of kicks was all the fix you would need
A night in grew a devious grin if somebody planted the seed
And i'd know and you'd know
We'd never grow old
Chuck taylors with grit in the seams
Bad favours were necessary
We didn't mean
To burn down your scene
We'll be redeemed
We knew that we we'd be evergreen
We knew that we we'd be evergreen
And I said hey I'm inside
Where are you
And I said hey I'm inside
Where are you
We didn't mean
To burn down your scene
We'll be redeemed
We knew that we we'd be evergreen
We didn't mean
To burn down your scene
We'll be redeemed
We knew that we we'd be evergreen
We knew that we we'd be evergreen
And i'd know and you'd know
We'd never grow old

Little Tyrant
02:42
|
|||
He's up at dawn
His needs must be fed
Don't you break the routine
Get out of bed
Little tyrant, sound asleep
Little tyrant, at your feet
Little tyrant, little creep
Little creep
He'll whinge and moan
He'll chase you down
There's no escape from him here
In this tiny town
Little tyrant, sound asleep
Little tyrant, at your feet
Little tyrant, little creep
Little tyrant, sound asleep
Little tyrant, at your feet
Little tyrant, little creep
Little creep

Old Friends
03:07
|
|||
Sit on down it's been many a year
Since we shared a cheer
And in the days when we'd drink smoke repeat
For every new defeat
Seems the same even though much has changed
Between our escapes
I miss the days but i'm glad about them now
We'd have dragged each other down
Old friends don't know when to quit
Through the neon and the years
Old friends don't know when to quit
They're still here
Sit on down it's been many a year
Since we shared a cheer
And in the days when we'd drink smoke repeat
For every new defeat
Old friends don't know when to quit
Through the neon and the years
Old friends don't know when to quit
They're still here
Old friends don't know when to quit
Through the neon and the years
Old friends don't know when to quit
They're still here

Find Your Crown
02:44
|
|||
All of those times we would talk on the phone
How could we know you were the heir to the throne
You hid your birthmark underneath your coat
And never volunteered a single note
We won't know you found your sound
Until you find your crown
We won't know it's hand me down
Until you find your crown
You went into hiding right after school
And never joined in with the rest of us fools
What cracked your shell and made you self aware
Made you decide you might have something to share
We won't know you found your sound
Until you find your crown
We won't know it's hand me down
Until you find your crown
We won't know you found your sound
Until you find your crown
We won't know it's hand me down
Until you find your crown
We won't know you found your sound
Until you find your crown
We won't know it's hand me down
Until you find your crown

Neon Lights
02:37
|

They all love by degrees
You're all I need, you're all I need
We've got needs to feed
You're all I need, you're all I need
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones
When we're with your friends
It never ends, it never ends
They all need to pretend
It never ends, it never ends
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones
Neon lights
In our bones

Make Up Sex
02:57
|
|||
There's no way to wish your way through
This here situation you've construed
No chance, no hope, you're on the ropes
Can't leave, can't cope on this slippery slope
You've got the wrong idea
She won't reappear
There's nothing for you here
I'd just disappear
Best to take a breath and walk away
Trust me there's nothing left to say
You think you must have been misled
I think signals you just misread
You've got the wrong idea
She won't reappear
There's nothing for you here
I'd just disappear
You've got the wrong idea
She won't reappear
There's nothing for you here
I'd just disappear

Never Better
02:49
|
|||
Won't you please fuck off
I've had about enough
All promises are broken
Nothing behind the curtain
And i've never been better
Everyday that you are gone
And i've never been better
Everyday, everyday, everyday that you are gone
Some how I always knew
That you could not be true
But I was still too young
To know where you came from
And i've never been better
Everyday that you are gone
And i've never been better
Everyday, everyday, everyday that you are gone
Now I know that we're all small
Your high horse ain't so tall
Pack your bags get out of town
No I won't see you around
And i've never been better
Everyday that you are gone
And i've never been better
Everyday, everyday, everyday that you are gone

Peace Of Toast
02:53
|
|||
Put your hope in a piece of toast
The only thing to keep you afloat
Cold tea and cutlery
Might cover up you and me
I don't think so you might say
But since when do you see all the grey
For heavens sake
Lets negotiate
While I wipe the slate
Clean
Our last defence
From our common sense
Is sitting on the fence
You know what I mean
Doing dishes, sweeping floors
Anything to cover the pause
Peace talks may never resume
But at least we'll have a tidy room
Who would think domestic bliss
Could hit an impasse just like this
For heavens sake
Lets negotiate
While I wipe the slate
Clean
Our last defence
From our common sense
Is sitting on the fence
You know what I mean
For heavens sake
Lets negotiate
While I wipe the slate
Clean
Our last defence
From our common sense
Is sitting on the fence
You know what I mean

Stop, Drop And Roll
03:00
|
|||
Things just ain't romantic like they are in songs
I open my mouth and things are already wrong
You'd think by now I could converse with flair
But all I can muster is a slack jawed stare
It's not fair
Stop, drop and roll
It's over you know from now on in
Stop, drop and roll
It's over you know
You try to pretend that I said nothing strange
I do the same and act as if nothings changed
The balls been dropped, the penny's not far behind
Can't leave you thinking that i'm out of my mind
Please be kind
Stop, drop and roll
It's over you know from now on in
Stop, drop and roll
It's over you know
Stop, drop and roll
Stop, drop and roll
Stop, drop and roll
It's over you know from now on in
Stop, drop and roll
It's over you know

On/Off Again
03:14
|
|||
Where have you been this time?
Me? Oh i've been just fine
Keeping busy by design
But from this I must resign
I can't do this anymore
It's not your presence I abhor
It's that I need so much more
So i'll show you the door
On and off again
Why do we pretend
That we are even friends
Let alone much more than
On and off again
Why do we pretend
That we are even friends
And that this ain't the end
We had fun at the start
Till you broke my little heart
I should have left and been smart
Instead I ordered spare parts
Patch me up, set to mend
But you did it over and over again
I still can't comprehend your trend
On and off again
Why do we pretend
That we are even friends
Let alone much more than
On and off again
Why do we pretend
That we are even friends
And that this ain't the end
Yeah this is the end
Yeah this is the end...
