Arcade
03:06
|

Met you at the arcade and then I took you home
And if I had a dollar darlin’ I’d build it on my own
Met her in a dream and I think you were there too
When I said I want a daughter darlin’ I wanted one with you
But I’ll build it on my own

Ahhhh (This Isn't Ideal)
01:49
|
|||
Then I said, bow your heads
You're in luck since we’re putting on a show
Freak the scene, cut them clean
Mister please there is no one you don’t seem to know
Or so it goes
This isn’t ideal
Newly wed, out of bed
Saw him chasing a bag outside his home
I contend, missed a friend
Maybe this is just too good to be true
Or so it goes
This isn’t ideal

Monster Of The Week
04:03
|
|||
On the way to the show tonight, our feet were battering bitumen
It’s only been seven hours since the comment, since when I figured out what it meant
That sometimes I talk like a soundboard
‘How are you?’ ‘Get to the chopper’ ‘John Kimble’ etc
Just one move from a prank call and I hope you’re round for my downfall
Monster of the week, you know your lips move when you don’t speak
You even made up your own language, you know I don’t know what you mean
But it’s alright with me
Waiting round at the stage door, well hurry up and just get me my rider already
And I’m gonna need the code for the WiFi
No you don’t seem like a wife guy
Monster of the week, you know your lips move when you don’t speak
I even made up my own language, I know you don’t know what I mean
But it’s alright with me

As The Dogs Were Playing
02:12
|
|||
Can we go just once more around the block?
I think I’m going insane
You know I couldn’t say nothing when you came over
Wiser than words
You’re so wise that it hurts
But you’ve been up to no good
As the dogs were playing
You know I couldn’t attend that
Your suffering’s deserved
Poor baby got your nose all in the dirt
You’ve been up to no good

The Worm Turns
02:15
|
|||
The worm turns so selfish and absurd, now let’s take what the other wants
A forced hand is always in demand, now let’s break all our promises
The turnover vs the chip on your shoulder
I’m yours if you want it now you’re turning a profit
The day breaks
How much you gonna take now i’m preaching the opposite?
We’re whiplashed and headed for a crash but you gotta stay positive
The shareholders and the chip on your shoulder are the same if I’m honest, fingers crossed in my pocket
The turnover and the weight on your shoulders, it’s in gold if you want it now you’re turning a profit

Dog Years
02:35
|

Spit it out and back down
Fixed eyes staring at the ground
Most of what I did was alright but it still keeps me up at night
The sting of your sweat is still in my eyes
Just took me some time to realise
Most of what you did was alright, bet it still keeps you up at night
Do I believe in the sum of the age?
Fingers in lock while they’re turning the page

Queen Of Comedy
03:28
|
|||
Conceptually, I have designed the trees
The fish, the light and the breeze
But where I’m at, they call me the queen of comedy
A master manipulator
There, at the end
It seems like, I’m skipping right here again
I’ve got a feeling, like I’m feeling like I don’t wanna be the last one left
There’s champagne on your nose
We’re talking bout branches, rivers and clothes
We’re talking and we’re talking like we share some sort of mind of our own
Initially, I was a loyal dog
But now I’m lying to you because I can

The Lake
02:34
|
|||
I made enemies with mountains and I lay vanquish to the sea
Got a dial tone, told ‘em you’re not home
Now you can come make enemies with me
I diverted from the river and I dumped the toxins in the lake
I was red misted and you missed it
Now you know my injuries aren’t fake
Half a life forgetting all your faces has just led me to this
Now remind me what it is that I was ever good at?
I ruined the speeches at the wedding and at dinner I embarrassed our friends
But it was funny, no? Worth waiting around for!
What’s a disappointment’s weight worth in gold?
I slept on each and all your favourites and now I say that I was from the start
I’m branching out with a twist and a shout
Buying taste with insufficient amounts
Half a life forgetting all your faces has just led me to this
Now remind me what it is that I was ever good at again?

Diane said
She said I’m writing you once again
I had another look at that photograph you sent but it still doesn’t make any sense
Well what’s the deal?
Did the weather get to your head?
We know the winter’s can get pretty cold, there’s a heater next to your bed
Well what’s the deal, did the weather get to your head?
<redacted>
And sleep for me babe, there’s some towels by the end of the shed
But some folk are real
And some folk just wanna see you ride against the wind
But there’s a light you see in me
What does it show
When some folk just wanna see you walk around the bend?
Take care darling, I’m sure I’ll see you soon

One Night
03:50
|
|||
The party is over and we go home sober
But I stay up until sunrise now that dream has been recognised
The waiting comes easy but it’s what next that scares me
It’s that little knock on the front door
It’s another show about the Cold War
Our time is wasted closing eyes
So you turn the alarm off
Just another two weeks til we’re good enough
Where’s that holiday that we dreamed of?
Where’s the hit parade that we wrote off?
That time just rolled on by your side

Excalibur
03:25
|
|||
Well all that to see on the one night!
I saw it all alright
How’d they get that thing inside?
It can’t have been cheap, hope they got a fair price
And it’s between you and me but it don’t look much different than it does on the TV
At least now I can say that we’ve been
Paris in the desert and then you’re home in a week
And you don’t even know the chorus line ends or where it begins but I know that we’ll keep singing it over again
So you catch a fresh glimpse into hell
A man down and the cops broke his teeth and he was screaming for help
Well it’s only here and that’s how they’ll tell it
All that sex and violence makes it so easy to sell it
And over there by the pyramid, right next to the fountains and the Empire State Building
Could have sworn that I was present for the minute
No I never said thanks for that jacket
And you don’t even know that the chorus line ends or where it begins but I know that we’ll keep singing it over and over again and that’s the sin

Real I'm Told
02:04
|
|||
Even though we can’t turn back again, my eyes they remain closed
I’ll take one more for the road
My heart it must be real, I’m told
Plastic boots, some shiny loot, a BandAid on your nose
I think perhaps my memory’s false
But my mind it must be real, I’m told
Real I’m told
Scratched up cars at rural bars, may I take one of those to go?
Perhaps I am just cold, but if it stops us getting old
All jokes aside I found my home
So our love it must be real, I’m told

Just In Time
04:52
|
|||
Don’t need to specify but each time I fall apart I fall within you
And it goes without saying that the limits of your life won’t ever dim you
When you magnify every issue that arises it’ll end you
When you’re thrown overboard, you’re gonna sink or you’re gonna float
We’ll find out together
There’s two truths to a lie
There’s ten teeth in your smile sometimes
Between making deals and then throwing in the towel well what’s new for me?
Cause I stopped trying to get older once I realised I was and that’s habit forming
And I magnify every issue that arises please ignore me
And we’re thrown overboard but we’re gonna float so keep swimming baby
There’s two days in a night
There’s only one reason to come inside
There’s two truths to a lie
There’s ten teeth in your smile sometimes

I’m sorry that I overstayed
My welcome but I am on fire today
So in love with all your ways
The pro’s they’ll never stray far from the structure, ooh boy
I dipped from the conference today
And I couldn’t be happier
I’m gonna celebrate
But I drank up all the wine
Well I guess gin will do just fine given present company, ooh boy
I’m sorry that I overstayed my welcome but I am on fire today
I think I’m on fire today

Jelly Legs
02:27
|

Jelly legs, slow your roll
Never felt like this before
Come back alone
You snap your spine back around
It’s the new kids first day in town. Can you show him round?
Just eighteen, you can vote, you can drink and you can smoke
So why’s it feel just like before?

Dogs On The Beach
02:11
|
|||
If only the liars, the cheats, and the crooks
Would take another glance
Could chance, another look
Before they clear out my pockets
The pennies I saved
To afford us some gin
On what should be such a lovely day
Watch out my darling
There’s dogs on the beach
And I feel like such a fool
I might just lay down at your feet and go to sleep
