GOING DOWN: Was it something i done, Was it something i said,Was it coz i joked your dad was dead,Well now there's something that i need to know,Do you wear my ring just for show,Sometimes you say im in over my head,But all i wanna do is get you in bed,I told myself it wasn't so, when you told me i had to go, IT'S GOING DOWN,You know i'd do anything for you,Anything but tell the truth,coz when i went to the picture show,I saw the girl she told me to grow,Realise i've lost my youth,Hanging about in old phone boothes,I'm so confused i just dunno,Sat in my room,I'm ready to go, IT'S GOING DOWN
PLANT: My friend says he is unknown,He comes from a broken hom,He waits in shops to open you doors,The pleasures his it will be yours, Somethings wrong,The Kids are wrong,On their Sk@teboards,1-2-3-4, He's so polit always says please, And he'll leave you crying on your knees,Here is your misdemeanour, And he doesnt know how to treat her, Somethings wrong,The Kids are wrong,On their sk@teboards,1-2-3-4,I looked at myself in the mirror, Took no time to consider,What i done and the consequences,Hope you dont wanna cut me into pieces
BOREDOM: Everyday is just the same,There is no difference there is no change,Look outside and see my car,There is no petrol,It cant go far,Some Call It Boredom,I Suffer From Boredom,I Call it Boredom,Looks like no one cares about me,No one calls or comes to see,If i'm ok if im alright,Or to talk about what happened last night,Some Call It Boredom,I Suffer From Boredom,I Call it Boredom
A MIRROR TO SOCIETY: Last time i saw you your face had changed,Your mind had split a million ways,I know that you've had enough,It's clear from the way you act,Im losing patience thats a fact,What have they done to your mind,They've been wasting all your time,Nut nobodies seen it,Your hiding it im told,Todays the time to break the mould,So long as your alright,You needn't cry for me,You've gotta be so right,And Im bored of your apathy,Im putting my foot down,This aint no luxery,But Ill meet you tonight Your believing all their lies,To dissatach is your demise,Paranoia-all this panic makes me sick,Your college mind has got too quick,Where have you been since last time,We've been reading all your signs,A mirror to society,Will show you where you went wrong,Just turn around your path backs long, So long as your alright,You needn't cry for me,You've gotta be so right,And Im bored of your apathy,Im putting my foot down,This aint no luxery,But Ill meet you tonight
MARY-JANE: Mary-Jane i think your insane,You married once then you married again,To a man his name is Jim,he lives in a biscuit tin, Mary-Jane(x3)I think your insane, Where you come from we dont know,You say to go there but i dont wanna go,You said to, Come to your show,You could of told me you took your clothes off though, Mary-Jane(x3)I think your insane
TV DINNERS: Stand tall straight and upright,I wanna feel you near,Just then i see you,Through a fog of beer,Shut up listen to me,Ill tell you my problems,You wont wanna hear them,They'd only take too long, OiOiOi,OiOiOi,You Dont know me,You Dont know me, OiOiOi,OiOiOi,You Dont know me,You Dont know me, Last night i wondered,I looked and wondered where,I looked beside me,i looked and you wern't there,I need one more chance,because i still need you,You run through my head,Do you think about me too?, OiOiOi, OiOiOi, You Dont know me, You Dont know me, OiOiOi, OiOiOi, You Dont know me, You Dont know me,There's no getting over,Getting over you,I look into your eyes realise that we are through,Words dont have to say it,But i want you back,Cant stop thinking of you,Your just another fact, OiOiOi, OiOiOi, You Dont know me, You Dont know me, OiOiOi, OiOiOi, You Dont know me, You Dont know me
YOUR PRIDE: Im no different to you, Just got better things to do, Than work all day to get peanuts,White collar Blue collar, Who cares so long as it pays my bus fares, When will you take time to relax, You've made mistakes but your faking it again, They've got the stakes and they'll make you wonder when, It cant be easy for you,You look down on me,I look up at you,It cant be easy all your life,i understand what you do,Just never got to me like it did to you,I really didn't have the time, You've made mistakes but your faking it again, They've got the stakes and they'll make you wonder when, Just to fufil out your pride,You'll work until you all die,And then you'll look back on your life(And wonder what you bothered for),Then once you've stopped you put-downs and see i've got my foot down,You'll wonder where you put your life(And why your still getting ignored), You've made mistakes but your faking it again, They've got the stakes and they'll make you wonder when
MY GREEN EYES: And i'll decide when and where that i'll get off this ride,And all i wanna do is be good enough i know,Now is the time,I gotta let go of what once was mine, And all i wanna do is be good enough i know, And when your gone, I cannot sleep,So I'll go out and waste my time,But your still go-one,I still feel sick,like i said i did before i missed,And all i wanna do is be good enough i know,If i set you free,Will you soon be out forgetting me,And all i wanna do is be good enough i know,And when your gone,I cannot sleep,So i'll go out and waste my time,But your still go-one, And im so scared, That you'll go off and leave me standing there,And all i wanna do is be good enough i know,Take my advice,Dont be the one left out there thinking twice,And all i wanna do is be good enough i know,(Middle 8 not yet written),I'd make you old,Run quick before you get left in the cold,And all i wanna do is be good enough i know,Dont hold my hand,jealousy has made me take a stand,And all i wanna do is be good enough i know, And when your gone,I cannot sleep,So ill go out and waste my time,But you will be go-one
AUGUST and NOWHERE lyrics to be added soon
NOSTALGIA: Matter of fact,As time goes on walking,Im looking back,Theres no one here left talking,They've all gone away,Why are we still left here,Theres no one feeling my fear,I cant see,Us lasting out our days,Responcibilities are getting in the way,I walk alone,People turn their heads away,Responcibilities are getting in the way, Those who've changed,Those who've grown and moved on,Those whove stayed,But how long till they are gone,Who's to blame,The burning sky is too blind,those who claim,"Well i guess this place now mine", I cant see,Us lasting out our days,Responcibilities are getting in the way,I walk alone,People turn their heads away,Responcibilities are getting in the way, Im giving up,Time to dwell on the past,No future here,Whats here?,Well it wont last,We've lost the fight,We've given in to them now,But thats alright,Coz it's about to end no, I cant see,Us lasting out our days,Responcibilities are getting in the way,I walk alone,People turn their heads away,Responcibilities are getting in the way
OF YOU lyrics still to be added
