LOST MY NERVE
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
On a whim or some fancy
You take me out and you break me
I don’t fit in I feel stupid
Give me a break ‘cos I told you man
I’m fuckin’ sick of listening
To some rich kids
Playing on their guitars
Their guitars
Their guitars
Tonight.
Tonight, yeah...
Should I yell from the rafters?
Or should I silently yield?
Should I say what I’m thinking?
Or should I hide how I feel?
‘Cos I’m sick of listenin'
To all them big men
Banging on their drums
On their drums
On their drums
On their drums
I really lost my nerve tonight
I really lost my nerve
Tonight.
Tonight, yeah
I really lost my nerve tonight
I really lost my nerve
Tonight,
Tonight,
Tonight, yeah
OXYGEN
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
Rock and roll
Once again
The time has come to save my skin
And not to make it easier
Just to make it fun
All I’ve got is
Where I’ve been
All I know and all I’ve seen
Just makes me dizzy all the time
Like too much oxygen
So fill up your lungs
Pack your bags for the sun
And I won’t make you promises
Or tell you how the story ends
Oxygen
Oxygen
Oxygen
SHE'S LIKE A COMET
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
Starting a fire
Secret admirers
Stolen exchanges
Measured denial
I hope you come around
Coming and going
Every moment
Falls through the sky
Erupting and glowing
I hope you come around
I hope you come around
Just like something
Comes out of nothing
She ain’t the done thing
Yeah she’s different
Nervous and twitching
Sparks and emissions
Keeping a finger
On the ignition
I hope you come around
Brother to sister
Sister to brother
Far and away
Orbiting each other
I hope you come around
I hope you come around
Just like something
Comes out of nothing
She ain’t the done thing
Yeah she’s different
Oh she’s like a comet
Oh she’s like a comet
Oh she’s like a comet
Yeah she’s different
Nervous and twitching
Sparks and emissions
Keeping her finger
On the ignition
I hope you come around
Coming and going
Every moment
Falls through the sky
Erupting and glowing
I hope you come around
I hope you come around
Just like something
Comes out of nothing
She ain’t the done thing
Yeah she’s different
Oh she’s like a comet
Oh she’s like a comet
Oh she’s like a comet
Yeah she’s different
Yeah she’s different
Yeah she’s different
Yeah she’s different
TO YOUR DOOR
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
Everyday I wake up to the
Strangest feeling
Everything is happening again
Looking in the mirror at my
Own reflection
Scared that I don’t recognise a thing
Now you’re gone
Now you’re gone
I try to catch the bus but it’s the
Wind I’m hailing
Everyone and no one looks at me
And if I could convince someone to
Take me somewhere
I would be arriving on your street
Now you’re gone I’m just a
Shadow of my past
And I can’t wait to get
To your door
To your door I run
To your door
To your door I run
To your door
To your door I run
To your door
To your door
Everyday I wake up it’s the
Same old story
Everything is happening again
And if I could convince someone to
Take me some place
It’s my face that you’d see coming clean
Now you’re gone I’m just a
Shadow of my past
And I can’t wait to get
To your door
To your door I run
To your door
To your door I run
To your door
To your door I run
To your door
To your door
CONTROL
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
We were doin’ fine
We had everything, the stars and the sunshine
Drinking liquor from the neck of the day time
From the city to the sea
There was nothing that could hold us back
Falling like the rain for each other
With the hope of a slow train
Memories grew older than smoke stains
There was something going on that
Nothing in the world could change
Where do I go now?
‘Cos I don’t wanna be in control
Where do I go now?
‘Cos I don’t wanna be in control
I don’t wanna be in control again
I don’t wanna be in control
I don’t wanna be in control again
Playing in the sand
Thinking everything we held in our good hands
Was immune to all the stuff that you can’t plan
Now I’m trying to understand
The good to come with moving on
Where do I go now?
‘Cos I don’t wanna be in control
I don’t wanna be in control again
I don’t wanna be in control
I don’t wanna be in control again
I’ll kick my plans to the side of the road
I wanna live more but I can’t let go
I wanna live more
But I can’t let go
Where do I go now?
‘Cos I don’t wanna be in control
I don’t wanna be in control again
I don’t wanna be in control
I don’t wanna be in control again
Never in control
UNDER YOUR BED
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
Waking in a cold sweat
Dreaming of the war
Wondering if tomorrow
I’ll be dreaming anymore
‘Cos reds are under your bed
And reds are under your bed
And reds are under your bed
And reds are....yeah
I wanna be different in the morning
‘Cos it doesn’t really look like fun
When everything’s different in the morning
And it doesn’t really look like fun
I wanna be different in the morning
‘Cos it doesn’t really look like fun
Better be different in the morning
Walking in a day dream
Battling the war
Thinking of tomorrow
But I don’t know what it’s for
‘Cos reds are under your bed
And reds are under your bed
And reds are under your bed
And reds are....yeah
I wanna be different in the morning
‘Cos it doesn’t really look like fun
When everything’s different in the morning
And it doesn’t really look like fun
I wanna be different in the morning
‘Cos it doesn’t really look like fun
Better be different in the morning
It doesn’t really look like fun!
BATTLESONG
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
Here we stand in the shadows
With the ghosts been and gone
And the night that surrounds us
Gives away to breaking dawn
If we live, we live standing
Side by side and heart to heart
The lines have been drawn
The cry has rung out
Long before the wretched
Writing on the wall
Nobody was listening
Nobody could hear our call
Living in the fringes
Seemed our best defence
Balking at the battle
Once before but never again
So we march over mountains
Knowing not what lies ahead
With the hope of a future
We brace ourselves for the end
But if we make it to old age
We’ll strip our sleeves and show our scars
Let these wounds speak of our prize
Long before the wretched
Writing on the wall
Nobody was listening
Nobody could hear our call
Living in the fringes
Seemed our best defence
Balking at the battle
Once before but not again
Maybe they are millions
With more to call upon
We can be an army
We can take the whole world on
Not for god or glory
Or riches in the sun
Just to live forever
Always pushing upwards and on
Drawn in to battle test’s the fate of the few
Drawn in to battle we’re an army of two
With too much to lose
Long before the wretched
Writing on the wall
Nobody was listening
Nobody could hear our call
Living in the fringes
Seemed our best defence
Balking at the battle
Once before but not again
Maybe they are millions
With more to call upon
We could be an army
Take the fuckin’ whole lot on
Not for god or glory
Or riches in the sun
Just to live forever
Always pushing upwards and on
To victory!
Victory!
Victory!
FREAKIN' OUT
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
Panic in the night
Trying to make things right
Still you wonder why
All your crystal gazing
Could learn you things
You wouldn’t wanna know
So don’t start
Freakin’ out
About what you deserve
No don’t start
Freakin’ out
About what you deserve
On the street below
The city static grows
And life just comes and goes
All your crystal gazing
Could learn you things
You wouldn’t wanna know
So don’t start
Freakin’ out
About what you deserve
No don’t start
Freakin’ out
About what you deserve
About what you deserve
‘Cos there’s a fine line to reason
And there’s a long ways to go
When you can make sense of nothing
And when you live and die alone
But if you don’t look back
And if you stop trying to figure it all out
You’ll never need to know
So don’t start
Freakin’ out
About what you deserve
No don’t start
Freakin’ out
About what you deserve
THE LASH
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
First comes the call we’re going out on the lash
And you can come back to mine if you need a place to crash
Got some friends in town saying they can make it better
Well I guess that’s what you get tryin’ to make a splash
Kiss kissing consequence
Consequence good night
Kiss kiss your consequence good night
She’s just a friend
Who burns to the end
She just goes on and on and on
And just like a friend
I rush to defend
We’ll just go on and
Chase it
Find it
Taste it
Don’t waste it
Kiss kissing consequence
Consequence good night
Kiss kiss your consequence good night
She’s just a friend
Who burns to the end
She just goes on and on and on
And just like a friend
I rush to defend
We’ll just go on and on and on
Kiss it goodnight!
Kiss it goodnight!
Kiss it goodnight!
Wake up pause reflect
Last night I called you collect
It’s good to know when you go we can always connect
She’s just a friend
Who burns to the end
She just goes on and on and on
And just like a friend
I rush to defend
We’ll just go on and on and on
She’s just a friend
Who burns to the end
She just goes on and on and on
And just like a friend
I rush to defend
We’ll just go on and on and on
HIGH [HORSE]
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
Hey! What are you looking for?
Something fast or something good?
I don’t think that you’re all there
Like a line misunderstood
When I grow up I’ll be indestructible
Taking revenge out on all my enemies
When I get young I’ll be bored and over it
Wasting away all the best years of my life
Now I’m waiting for the lights to change
All these colours look the same
Hey! Where are you going now?
I was still talking to you!
Don’t tell me, you’re out of time
Any old excuse will do
When I grow up I’ll be indestructible
Taking revenge out on all my enemies
When I get young I’ll be bored and over it
Wasting away all the best years of my life
Now I’m waiting for the lights to change
All these colours look the same
Hey! What are you looking for?
Something fast or something good?
I don’t think that you’re all there
Like a line misunderstood
Now I’m bored
Now I’m bored
Now I’m bored and over it
ARE WE OKAY?
ALBUM: KOSCISUZKO, 2011
After the night
Another sun
Rises above everyone
And all that is left
Are lingering breaths
Of all that has been and all that
We’ve become
I’m looking for signs
In everything
To tell me somehow
I’ve done the right thing
Call me crazy
(I often do)
It feels so weird being without you
Time slips away
Gone the days we’ll never see again
I don’t care ‘cos we were there and I’ll
Always feel the same
And that’s where it can remain
As long as we’re okay
Are we okay?
Switch off the lights
Turn off the taps
Send ‘em all home
Let’s leave it at that
I’ve got a confession
(It’s not an excuse)
I don’t know what the future holds
Time slips away
Gone the days we’ll never see again
I don’t care ‘cos we were there and I’ll
Always feel the same
And that’s where it can remain
As long as we’re okay
Are we okay?
As long as we’re okay
As long as we’re okay
As long as we’re okay
Are we okay?
