Ain't this sweet?, she digs on me,
I am exactly where I wanted to be,
I'm gonna kiss myself till I can't see,
'Cause I know,

DJ spins electric beat,
I'm gonna shake my ass and move my feet,
And when I think about it, it fits so neat,
'Cause I know, yeah I know,

Hey, I could'a been someone else,
Yeah, I could'a been someone else,
Hey, I could'a been someone else,
Yeah, I could'a been someone else,

Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth,
Yeah, yeah,

What if I had played football?,
Or if I hadn't returned that first phonecall?,
Or if I ain't been born U.K. at all,
Yeah what then,

But I won't think too much tonight,
Because it all panned out in a way I like,
And yeah, I got my faults but it's alright,
'Cause I know, yes I know,

Hey, I could'a been someone else,
Yeah, I could'a been someone else,
Hey, I could'a been someone else,
Yeah, I could'a been someone else,

Hey, I could'a been someone else,
Yeah, I could'a been someone else,
Hey, I could'a been someone else,
Oh yeah, I could'a been someone else,
Someone else,

(Guitar Solo)

Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth,
Yeah, yeah,
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth,
Yeah, yeah, (It's just a kick in the mouth)

Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth, (YEAH, YEAH, IT'S JUST A KICK IN THE MOUTH)
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth, (YEAH, YEAH, IT'S JUST A KICK IN THE MOUTH)
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth, (YEAH, YEAH, IT'S JUST A KICK IN THE MOUTH)
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth, (YEAH, YEAH, IT'S JUST A KICK IN THE MOUTH)

That's right, that's right,
I got a band and a woman too,
I got a plan and a focussed view,
And that's cool for twenty one,

That's cool for twenty one,
That's cool for twenty one,
That's cool for twenty one,
That's cool for anyone,

And I've already stayed for too long,
But I will only break your heart when I go,
When I go, when I go,

Hold tight, hold tight,
I'm still just a kid with a heavy load,
And rock and roll is a rocky road,
But that's cool for twenty one,

A long list of goals achieved,
And tall tales to tell my son,
And that is cool for twenty one,
Yeah, that's cool for anyone,

But I don't drive and I don't pay no board,
And this will only make it hard when I go,
When I go, when I go,
When I go, when I go,

Oh...oh,
So I'm staying home, yeah,

'cause to my neighbours,
I'm fucking famous,

My mother says she loves me,
She tells me I'm not ugly,
She thinks the whole world of me,
She thinks I'm superman,

My mother doesn't under-
stand why I'm always angry,
I know she don't deserve it,
But she's just first in line,

I don't respect myself,
'Cause I can't respect myself,
And I don't respect myself,
'Cause I can't respect myself,

And yeah, I heard every word you said, oh...,
And your ideas, they all make sense but I reject them,
Well, how can I hope to earn your respect?, oh...,
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself,
When I don't respect myself, I don't respect myself,

I don't respect myself,
No

Well yes, you are contented,
What more could you want?,
Yeah, you fight, but you always make it up,
It's love chasing its tail,

Look at how she holds his hand and she,
She whispers to him Kiss her now,
And when she pulls away she's got his,
His heart dangling from her mouth,

Phone calls and accusations and a,
A bad feeling all year round,
Gutless and co-dependant,
They're the best enemies in town,

The best enemies in town,
The best enemies in town,
In town,
Oh yeah,

The silence - you hate it,
Hearts should come armour plated,
Violins, they play for,
You and me and for her,
With clear minds and wide eyes,
We make the best decisions,

So...,
Just let it go...,

So now the tears come easily and she,
She promises to change her ways,
But it's not about what you do, it is,
Who you are that matters these days,

After months of rehearsals and bad excuses,
The moment to leave is now,
So death to contentedness,
You were the best enemies in town,

The best enemies in town,
The best enemies in town,
The best enemies,
Here's to the best enemies in town,
Town,

Well,
Where will I found love now?,
Who will accept me now?,
They all cried for chairman Mao,
They all cried for chairman Mao,

There's something in my head that I've wanted to say,
When some of these ideas, they won't go away,
And all of my demons, they come out to play,
I wish I had more control of myself because...,

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,

Don't ask me what I think of science and art,
I've got all these questions locked up in my heart,
There's too much to do and I don't know where to start,
Just wish that I had more control of myself because...,

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,

I know sometimes it seems like I got it going on,
I don't, you wouldn't believe, and oh,
Sometimes my dreams are so far-fetched,
That I cannot begin to conceive a way out,

Yeah,
Yeah, a way out,

It's a waste of my time,
It's a waste of my mind,

It's a waste of my time,
It's a waste of my mind,

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah,

No,

(Place your bets now)

Hello friend, looks like you made it,
Well, how does it feel?,
All the praise and the attention,
And you keep it all real, yeah,
And while we're at it, thanks for the mention,
You asshole Lenman,

Have another drink,
Take those boxing gloves off,
Tame that temper,
You get in such a bother,
You're like my mother,

Hope he don't forget who his friends are,
Seen him lately?,
And I knew him when he was nothing,
And I think he owes me,
Well yeah, we haven't talked in years,
And I'm oh so angry,

Have another drink,
Yeah, take those boxing gloves off,
Tame that temper,
You know you get in such a bother,
You're like my mother,

'Cause you're so pretty and I'm so stupid,
Yeah, you're so pretty and I'm so stupid,
Yeah, you're so pretty and I'm so stupid,
Yeah, you're so pretty and I'm so stupid,

Before all this madness,
I had a plan,
I dreamed I would buy us,
A plot of land,

Where you and me could rest our bones,
A place where we can both call home,
You and me could rest our bones,
A place where we can both call home,

You and me could rest our bones,
A place where we can both call home
You and me could rest our bones,
A place where we can both call home

You and me could rest our bones,
A place where we can both call home
You and me could rest our bones,
A place where we can both call home

You and me,
You and me,

You and me,
You and me,
You and me,
You and me

Oh... you're all alone,
Oh... I know it can feel like that,
Oh... and no one knows,
Oh... just how much you have to offer,

So here it is from me to you,
Nobody loves you like I do,
I'll say it twice because it's true,
Nobody loves you like I do,

And oh... you're talented,
And oh... but you're impatient aswell,
And oh... so quiet down,
'Cause oh... because no one listens when you're angry,

So quiet now, between us two,
Nobody loves you like I do,
A feeling that is just for you,
Nobody loves you like I do,

Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do,
Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do,

So don't give up, it's not the way,
And I know the things your Dad will say,
You're not getting any younger,
You're not learning anything,

But we never learn unless we're wrong,
And I've been waiting all along,
To congratulate your efforts,
You really showed them who you are,

And oh... you lost it out,
And oh... but you gave it all you had,
And oh... and in the end,
And oh... that is the best we can ever hope for,

So here it is, so don't be blue,
Nobody loves you like I do,
Something that is just for you,
Nobody loves you like I do,

Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do,
Like I do, like I do,
Nobody loves you,

Nobody loves you like I do, (Nobody loves you)
Nobody loves you like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do, (Like I do)
Nobody loves you like I do,

Nobody loves you like I do, (Nobody loves you)
Nobody loves you like I do,
Nobody loves you like I do, (Like I do)
Nobody loves you like I do

We all have responsibilities,
We all have a social debt,
And if there is a man free of guilt,
I haven't met him yet,

So now you're backed in a corner,
You're under verbal attack,
They're pointing fingers like guns in your face and...,
Nobody got your back,

You've got to blame somebody for all your ing mistakes,
So someone else will pay for all the bad choices you make,
And you should take responsibility for what you do,
But you just point your finger at somebody innocent and say...,

No I don't feel so ing good,
No I don't feel so ing good,
No I don't feel so ing good,
No I don't, I need somebody to blame,

Got blame?,
I got blame,
I got blame,

So one day somebody asks you how you feel,
And instead of telling the truth,
You reel off a list of things you think they want to hear,
Because it's easier that way,
And so they treat you like this completely different person,
Because all they know about you is misinformation,
And you gradually detatch yourself from all your actions thinking...,

Oh, I don't know why I don't mean what I say,
I don't know why I don't feel what I say,
You've been lying about your feelings for so long,
You've forgotten who you are,

You got to blame somebody for all your ing mistakes,
So someone else will pay for all the bad choices you make,
And it is all your fault that you feel angry like you do,
But you could not admit it and you're stuck thinking...,

No I don't feel so ing good,
No I don't feel so ing good,
No I don't feel so ing good,
No I don't, I need somebody,

No I don't feel so ing...,
No I don't feel so ing...,
No I don't feel so ing good,
No I don't, I need somebody to blame,

Yeah, blame.

What you say?, Skies are grey?, Had a bad day?,
Well, hip hooray, I've had a bad one too,
I've missed the trains, been to pains, blown my brains and,
I don't want to hear it all again from you,
So...,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else, no,

So you know someone who doesn't like me?,
They told you that they really hate my guts?
I don't need you as a middle-man, they can tell me themselves,
That is, if they have the nuts,

And as for bad things you knew were gonna happen,
That retrospective bullshit's got to go,
Don't looks so smug - makes you ugly in this light, and no,
I don't wanna know, and especially no "I told you so",

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else,

Shut up,
Just shut up,
Just shut up,
Just shut your face,

Well, go,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else,

Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Keep it to yourself,
Tell nobody else, no,

So here's how it is,
I'm tired of being tired,
Bored of being bored,
(But I don't wanna be lonely)

She's looking at me,
And I cannot see,
A place we agree,
(But I don't wanna be lonely)

I don't make her laugh,
I don't make her smile,
I don't make her move,
(But I don't wanna be lonely)

And I'm mouthing these words,
I'm dying to say,
To someone I think I know,
"It's a joke got out of hand,
But I think I understand"

And it won't be long before I get the guts,
To risk loneliness and do these things I must,
To ignore my head and put all my trust in my heart,

'Cause I don't want this,
No, I don't want this, no, no,

Here's how it is,
You like the idea,
Of someone around,
('Cause you don't wanna be lonely)

It's not about you,
It's not about me,
It's not about us at all,

It's a story so old it's been told and re-told,
And if I want my freedom, I've got to be bold,
It's a shame and it's a crime,
I have wasted all this time,

'Cause I've known for months all the moves to make,
And goodbyes, they give me a belly ache,
So no "One last kiss for old times' sake"
'Cause I'm gone,

Yeah,

Thrown again,
Thrown again,
Thrown again, oh,

Yes, let's talk about all the things we have in common,
If these are mistakes then I would make them all again,
It's so unbelievable you actually exist,
Let's make this a memory of us, 'Cause we've got

Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,
Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,

Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,
Lights out, sound low,
I wanna know, how far can this go?,

'Cause we were born for tonight,
For this very moment,
We were born for tonight,
For these secrets stolen,

Lights out...

Yeah, go,

Well...,

Sometimes I get this,
Lump in my throat,
When I remember,
These things I wrote,

The strangest feeling,
I've ever had,
Starts off as angry,
Ends up as sad,

Yeah,

When I'm awake and when I dream,
And all the places in between,
Where I go and where I've been,
I will take this ghost with me,

Well, I guess I loved her,

You,

Go,

So much for feeling,
Like broken bones,
I wish I'd left it all alone,

So much for healing,
Eventually,
I'm just as damaged as I'll ever be,

Well...,

Yeah,

Now,

When I'm awake and when I dream,
And all the places in between,
Where I go and where I've been,
I will take this ghost with me,

Well I guess I loved her,

No,

She took my...she took my shoes off... when I fell asleep,
She combed my hair and brushed my... teeth,

I guess I loved her, (I must have loved her)
I guess I loved her, (I must have loved her)
I guess I loved her, (I must have loved her)
I guess I loved her, (I must have loved her)

I guess I loved her,
But I still made her cry,

It's four a.m. and I cannot sleep,
Stuck in my bed next to a naked woman,
My body's tired like a gun riff,
But my brain has woken up and wants to party,

All my new songs are whizzing round there,
How many tracks should we put on the record?,
I wish my head could just be empty,
But I've started thinking and I can't stop now,

I can't stop,
Not now,
I can't stop,

Awake for hours in a fucking bind,
Held captive by my over-active mind,
All plans and shopping lists and fresh ideas,
If only I could have a good night,

A good night,
A good night,
A good night,
A good...,

It's two p.m. and I just woke up,
Stuck in my bed because there's nothing doing,
No complications, no commitments,
No reason I should open up my eyes,

Yeah Trisha's on, but she just talks rubbish,
And I don't listen to a word she says,
My girl is ready and she wants to play,
But I'm late for work and I cannot stop now,

I can't stop,
Not now,
I can't stop,

Wasting my time being here anyway,
Nobody wants to eat a thing today,
I'm walking up and down and back again,
Wish I was home having a good night,

A good night,

Good night,

Bebop,
Rock steady,
I'm gone,
To the chippy

I know,
That you'll miss me,
So stay up,
'til I say,

Good night,
We'll have a good night...

Piracy is piracy,
If you sail the seven seas or surf the net,
Record firms, they're making losses,
But they still spend it like they're making it,
It's fifty grand to make a fucking video,
And Sardy albums cost a fifth per track,
And so your favourite band,
They don't make that second album,
Dropped by their label 'cause they can't pay it back,

It killed them,
It killed them,
It killed them,
It killed them,

Well I got some news for you then my brother,
This is a buisness like any other,
You got your product, make money off it,
You count your losses against your profits,
And if you're thinking So? So?,
You don't know,

Underground, that's where we come from,
We don't wear no suits and we are not called The,
But chart success, that brings security,
You watch these brothers thinking Why not me?,
So show me where to sign,
And I'll write my name down in my own red blood,
Because there comes a time when you think a house might be nice,
And selling out don't mean a fuck, you see,

It kills me,
It kills me,
It kills me,
It kills me,

I can't stand..., (Stand... it...)
I can't stand..., (Stand... it...)
I can't stand..., (Stand... it...)
I can't stand... it..., (Stand... it...)

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?,
Get yourself to London on the train,
Then I'll just send you home again,

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?,
Get yourself to London on the train,
Then I'll just send you home again,

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?,
Get yourself to London on the train,
Then I'll just send you home again,

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?,
Lean a little bit closer, I'll make it plain,
You don't stand a fucking chance,

I'd like a job in which I'm able,
To put shoes on my feet, and food on my table,
Those nine-to-fivers, they look pretty stable,
But I get my wages from my record label,
And if you're thinking So? So? So?,

And if you're thinking So? So?,
You don't know enough about it,
Because this death is slow, (Because this death is slow)
Slow, slow, (Because this death is slow)
(Because this death is slow),

This thing will work itself out,
This thing will work itself out,
This thing will work itself out,
This thing will work it out,
Out, out, out,

'Guitarist and Songwriter',
That's what I thought I was,
I never had no dreams of being a waiter,
But these here Helmet rip-offs,
They don't but my lunch,
So I will get a real job in the office,

And I won't bother to make my music,
And I won't bother to sing my songs,
And I won't bother to get excited,
And I won't bother to get her off,

And I won't bother to make my music,
And I won't bother to sing my songs,
And I won't...,
And I won't...,

Sure... sure,
Sure... sure,
Sure... sure, (Sure... sure)
Sure..., (Sure...)

And I won't bother to make my music,
And I won't bother to sing my songs,

Sure... yeah sure,
Sure

Oh, I am, I'm tired out,
By life, it drags me down,
And all, these thoughts, that I'm swimming in,
I feel like I could drown,

'Cause everything is moving too fast for me to see,
And these assholes try to make me something, I don't wanna be,
And the best news I can hear all day is for you to say to me,

Boy, it's alright,
It's alright, it's alright,
And boy, it's alright,
You'll be with me tonight,

Tonight...,
Tonight...,

Wait, don't move, you are beautiful,
I know that I'll always be,
And oh, your eyes, they are open now,
I've never felt more proud than when both of them are focussed on me,

But everything is moving too fast for me to see,
And these assholes, they try to make me something, I could never be,
And the best news I can hear all day is for you to say to me,
Say,

Boy, it's alright,
It's alright, it's alright,
And boy, it's alright,
You'll be with me tonight,

And boy, it's alright,
You're my life, you're my light,
Boy, it's alright,
I will dream of you tonight,

Tonight...,
Tonight...
