Tea?
Tea?
Tea Sir?
More tea?
More tea?
More tea?
More tea?
Tea?
More tea sir?
Drink from the bar?
Sweetie sir?
Mmm yes you are
Hot refreshing towel
For your face?
Mini bag of pretzels?
Fruit cake?
Flying
Heading up to space
You’re working with a
Smile aching on your face
You’ve found your home
as a mile high trolley dolly
Sky-seeking till tart
Tea?
Tea?
Tea Sir?
More tea?
More tea?
More tea?
More tea?
Tea?
More tea sir?
Drink from the bar?
Sweetie sir?
Mmm yes you are
Hot refreshing towel
For your face?
Mini bag of pretzels?
Fruit cake?
Flying
Heading up to space
You’re working with a
Smile aching on your face
You’ve found your home
as a mile high trolley dolly
Sky-seeking till tart
Would you like some tea sir?
Tea? Tea?
Would you like milk sir?
Light snack? Sir?
Would you like a boiled sweet?
Sweetie?
Goodbye sir

I was in the party mood
When I saw this bloke arrive
Something was unusual
He had a guitar by his side
Everyone was chilling out
When there was suddenly a strumming sound
As the people turned around
He starting singing very loud
I don’t do things like that
Tell me that I don’t do things like that
I don’t do things like that
I’m hoping that I don’t do things like that
He closed the song in silence
Then began to start again
I think there should be violence
Cos this man has got no shame
He tried to play some well know songs
In the hope that we would sing along
But people had got bored of him
So they ignored him, I just laughed
I don’t do things like that
Tell me that I don’t do things like that
I don’t do things like that
I’m hoping that I don’t do things like that
I don’t do things like that
Tell me that I don’t do things like that
I don’t do things like that
I’m hoping that I don’t do things like that
I don’t do things like that
Tell me that I don’t do things like that
I don’t do things like that
I’m hoping that I don’t do things like that

Hole Song
04:29
|

There’s a hole in my head where the rain gets in
Like dropping money in a slot machine
Like pennies in a tin it feels like lead
There’s a hole in my head, there’s a hole in my head
There’s a hole in my brain which I can’t explain
It’s quite sore but absorbs the rain
That dumbs my sense and numbs my pain
There’s a hole in my brain, there’s a hole in my brain
Superfly
Superfly
There’s a hole in my shoe where the rain gets through
It’s not funny ‘cos I bought them as new
A pair for me and a pair for you
There’s a hole in my shoe, there’s a hole in my shoe
There’s a hole in my skin where the rain gets under
I look old but I feel much younger
But I start to wonder with the state I’m in
There’s a hole in my skin, there’s a hole in my skin
Superfly
Superfly
Superfly
Superfly
There’s a hole in face where the rain gets caught
I’m blowing bubbles in with every thought
They go pop or return to trace
There’s a hole in my face, there’s a hole in my face
There’s a hole in my butt where the rain gets out
I’m blowing bubbles when I scream and shout
All taut and stuck in a rut
There’s a hole in my butt, there’s a hole in my butt
Superfly
Superfly

I see your little body
I see it getting thinner
I see you drinking water
And not eating your dinner
It makes me feel guilty
I’m a culinary sinner
I’m pecking on the bread
Butter running down my chin
I gotta get me, 40fied
I gotta otta gotta get, get, 40fied
I gotta otta otta get me, 40fied
I gotta otta gotta get get, 40fied
I’m looking at a body
I see it in the mirror
I gotta make it thinner
Got to got to make it thinner
Went on a liquid diet
Thought I was on to a winner
And then I look at you
And I know I’m a beginner
I gotta get me, 40fied
I gotta otta gotta get, get, 40fied
I gotta otta otta get me, 40fied
I gotta otta gotta get get, 40fied
I see your little body
I see it getting thinner
I see you drinking water
And not eating your dinner
It makes me feel guilty
I’m a culinary sinner
I’m pecking on the bread
Butter running down my chin
I gotta get me, 40fied
I gotta otta gotta get, get, 40fied
I gotta otta otta get me, 40fied
I gotta otta gotta get get, 40fied
I’m looking at a body
I see it in the mirror
I gotta make it thinner
Got to got to make it thinner
Went on a liquid diet

And then I look at you
And I know I’m a beginner

I gotta otta gotta get, get, 40fied
I gotta otta otta get me, 40fied
I gotta otta gotta get get, 40fied

Brother's at War
03:36
|
|||
I hear you telling me something
But the moment’s already lost
The one ahead of me’s jumping
It seems our lives have already crossed
All I want is a system I can make a difference in
I don’t feel I’m at home in a place someone else has been
If you call me a liar
Well I would only be too myself
I’m not a cheap old messiah
On the trail of eternal wealth
All I want is a system I can make a difference in
I don’t feel I’m at home in a place someone else has been
My brother’s at war with himself so I’m not alone
He’s just got to survive with his faith in his one man show
All I want is a system I can make a difference in
I don’t feel I’m at home in a place someone else has been
Would you jump in the fire
Would you commit an earthly sin?
Or be a social pariah
On the edge of this life we’re in?
I hear you telling me something
I hear you telling me something
I hear you telling me something
I hear you telling me something

Big Gun
04:52
|
|||
This is a story about a man called Cesar
Who came to work at our office
Like the great man he was tasked as a leader of men
But turned out to be something of a novice
(it goes like this)
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
Everybody sing
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na
You came to us all a senior
Telling us things we know so well
You said that you wanna feature
And tell all the brass to go to hell
You said that you wanna clean up
But I don't think you're gonna lose the smell
Of the air every time your phone rings
In case it's bad news you're far too nice to tell
And wanna be feared
But you haven't got the heart to fight
So you're gonna make war
But you're keeping yourself alive
And you've got your big gun
But you wanna run away and hide
So you're gonna make war
But you're keeping yourself alive
Keeping yourself alive
So you dream you're Al Pacino
But you wanna bring your dreams to life
And this place is New York
And you're keeping yourself alive
Well it's about the worst kind
Of professional genocide
And you're gonna make war
But you're keeping yourself alive
So how we doing so far?
The world of our esteemed captain is completely bizarre
It's a bit like a virtual Churchill but with no cigar
Or Michael Schumaker in a three wheeled car
It's a little bit embarrassing really isn't it?
Makes me wanna play a noisy guitar solo in protest like this
Here we go!
So you dream you're Al Pacino
But you wanna bring your dreams to life
And this place is New York
And you're keeping yourself alive
Well it's about the worst kind
Of professional genocide
And you're gonna make war
But you're keeping yourself alive
Keeping yourself alive

I’m just a fool for your love
I’m just a fool for your love
I know you’re not that nice
Your love comes at a price
But I’ve got to be the only one beside ya
You cost me all my friends
Who think I’ve lost my head
If I was not in love I would dislike ya
Dying from sacrifice
Only for you
I’m just a fool for your love
Making my world move around you
I’m just a fool for your love
All things revolving around you
You always want me there
Sitting in that chair
Saying nothing, doing nothing beside ya
I think I might turn blind
Or go out of my mind
I’ve got be the only one inside ya
Dying from sacrifice
Only for you
I’m just a fool for your love
Making my world move around you
I’m just a fool for your love
All things revolving around you
I’m just a fool for your love
Making my world move around you
I’m just a fool for your love
All things revolving around you

You tell me you are right
that I am wrong that you are wrong
But you’re wrong as I will write
in the lyrics of this song
Be a big boy not a big girl
don’t be precious sing along
it will be much more medicinal
than having a ding-dong
I was wrong I was wrong I was wrong again
I can no longer deny it or refuse to take the blame
I circumnavigated reason and disengaged my brain
And came up with a statement that was totally insane
I will not impart on a mission to save face
Providing you extend me your humbleness and grace
I don’t want any told-you-so’s or smug looks on your face
Just let the moment disappear without a mark or trace
You see I know that you were wrong
Cos you told a little lie
A lie you would embellish
Rather than deny
Now everybody’s doing
And no-one’s asking why
And you are in the detriment
Right up to your eyes
So rather than admit your fallous proposition
You tried to intimidate me into a confession
Now I want you to make a concession
If you wouldn’t mind
Now extracting your admission was like bending bars of steel
But now that you have made it tell me how do you feel?
You look like a person with a weight off their chest
And I have to admit to being suitably impressed
I know deep down that it really annoyed ya
And I have to admit that I enjoyed the shardenfreude
But at least in the future I wont need to avoid ya
Or turn the other cheek and all that metaphorical speak

One Fine Day
04:06

Something great
Something good happened
One fine day
We fell in love all of a sudden
And now I love you with all my heart
In every thought I’m with you
And now I love you with all my heart
And every day I’m with you
Is one fine day
Someone safe
Someone cool and clever
Turned my face
Changed my life forever
And now I love you with all my heart
In every thought I’m with you
And now I love you with all my heart
And every day I’m with you
Is one fine day
The more you look for something the harder it is to find
But luck is there to greet you sometimes, and catch you blind
Some kind fate
Booked my place in heaven
One fine day
We made a choice together
And now I love you with all my heart
In every thought I’m with you
And now I love you with all my heart
And every day I’m with you
Is one fine day
Every day I’m with you is one fine day
Every day I’m with you is one fine day
Every day I’m with you is one fine day

Life that Kills

Put your head into the dragons den
Be the common hero once again
Be a stranger in the Hollywood hills
Live in danger of a life that kills
Put your into the dragons den
Be the common hero once again
Be a stranger in the Hollywood hills
Live in danger of a life that kills
