DID YOU REALLY?
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Think you had it much harder than the rest
Well this is no contest
No this is no contest
All the fighting that's stained inside my head
Will be there till I'm dead
Will be there till I'm dead
Sex slash death is in my head
Be there till I'm dead
I'll spit out what else I'm fed
Did you really want to scar our past
Did you really want to grow so old
Did you really want to make us hurt
Whatsoever I'll put it down to time
And take what's left that's mine
And take what's left that's mine
In the end I guess everyone's the same
And nobody's to blame
And nobody's to blame
Sex slash death is in my head
Be there until I'm dead
I'll spit out what else I'm fed
Did you really want to scar our past
Did you really want to grow so old
Did you really want to make us hurt
STAR MACHINE
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Been thinking of building a ship to the stars
Found plans made in fourth grade should get me that far
Jesus she says I know what you mean
I'll make you then take you my flying machine
I'm over exposure
I need to levitate
Above this experience
I need to find a way today for far away
There's a simple explanation
For the trouble that we're in
The shed light on all night
The work noise outside
The belief in relief found somewhere to hide
Jesus she says I know what you mean
Don't be scared just prepared
My flying machine

CONGRATULATIONS
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
He's coming round tonight
Catching the train out
Started work today
It's no fun but it pays
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
S'posed to leave at eight
But the sitters late
Times run out to go
To that Even show
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
He was there for you
When your ex shot through
But can you really count
On him sticking round?
One thing that you're sure of
He won't ever let you down
He could never hurt you
But it's so much to get involved
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
Can't change what happened my youths been shattered
Now can I really bring him down with me
He can't play father to your son
When he's eighteen years young!
I drowned in glory to tell this story
Of self denial and choices final
Can't change what happened my youth's been shattered
Now can I really bring him down with me.
TRAPDOOR
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Don't be too alarmed when you hear me raise my voice
I don't want to do it but you've left me with no choice
All around me situations that I can't escape
I'm helpless and I'm feeling that my actions come too late
You, you...
I guess sometimes that I fight for all the trouble that I'm in
But usually I'm certain that all my trash thrown in the bin
Going over speed limits will make you see the light
There's no consideration for the fact you're still alive
oh, you
It's a trap x 5
Don't be too alarmed when you hear me raise my voice
I don't want to do it but you've left me with no choice
All around me situations that I can't escape
I'm helpless and I'm feeling that my actions come too late
You, you...
Don't be too alarmed when you hear me raise my voice
I don't want to do it but you've left me with no choice
All around me situations that I can't escape
I'm helpless and I'm feeling that my actions come too late
You, you...
It's a trap x 10
PLEASE LEAVE
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Those things you said are getting to me
I close my eyes so I couldn't see
I'm used to all the crap you dish out
I know exactly what it's about
You didn't want to come across the sea
Dragged by your hair, it got worse you got me
Now everything is cool up until when
Accidently screw up your life again x 4
It's not that I don't want you around
But you act as if we're bringing you down
Maybe you don't have the guts to go
Maybe you just don't want me to know
Chorus
During the last Chorus Kevin sings:
You can't blame us for everything
When lives come down you'll probably leave
So pack your bags and take your time
To leave, to leave, to leave
And someday when you think of me
Remember how I was happy
Until the day I learned to see
Please leave, please leave, please leave
LOVE AT LAST
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Make the most of opportunity, nothings free, nothings free
And don't believe everything that you see
It may not be quite what you believed
Oh I know everything that I do tonight
Means nothing if I don't succeed
My highlight desire while ecstasy
Filling me
Let intentions out so openly
It's not crazy, just chemistry
Oh I know everything that I do tonight
Means nothing if I don't succeed
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
It's my animal, animal.
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
It's my animal, animal
Animal Instinct
Make the most of opportunity, nothings free, nothings free
And don't believe everything that you see
It may not be quite what you believed
Oh I know everything that I do tonight
Means nothing if I don't succeed
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
It's my animal, animal.
I'm insufferable when I'm in heat
It's my animal, animal
ANIMAL

HAPPIER SAD
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Falling out again
Just when everything was working out
And it's all because of me
Cos I like the way it feels to live in doubt
It's high time I start to learn
To live my life with a poker face and then
All these emotional feelings I can't ignore
Aren't on display to the whole world anymore
Am I Happier Sad?
It's all over and done
And I'm warm inside my melancholy mind
Kinda feels secure
The best cure for a heartache I can find

SLOT CAR RACING
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
I don't want to sit next to you
I don't want to sit next to you
Don't care what you say or what you want to do
I don't want to sit next to you
Best friend caught you lying
Ooooohhhh
It don't matter what you say
We're not going to go away
I don't want to fight with you
But you make it so easy to
So don't go against your will
If you want to like us still
There's no need to be too cool!

FEET TOUCH THE GROUND
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
So I thought the worst was over
When my heart stopped beating again
And the weak side of my body has come undone
Through trusting them
So we walked into the building
Took the lift to the third floor
Pain lies behind that door what am I to do now?
When what they tell me is just what they sell me
And I know to be realistic
Will save me from the shock to come
Any fool believes what you tell them
Happiness is being dumb
So we listened to the experts
Everyone needs some kind of guide to help them
See deep inside what am I to do now?
When what they tell me is just what they sell me
And it's not the truth but I'm not calming down
Till my feet touch the ground
So I thought the worst was over
When my heart stopped beating again
And the weak side of my body doubled up
I'm never trusting them
So don't listen to the experts
Cos I've seen they don't know anything
Can you hear the truth ring what am I to do now?
Chorus

Chorus
IN ORBIT
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
You don't wanna know, the truth will only hurt you
And I don't wanna go, back down that road I hate to
I've been trying so long to deal with what I've done
You say you want a song, well here you go have this one
Chorus:
I'm a boy with an endless lie
See the world through my bad black eyes
But it's alright, if it's alright
Don't mean to be mean, okay go on just say
Exactly what I've been you're right and don't I know it
It's immaturity, I can't wash clean my conscience
The truth is killing me could it make any difference
Chorus
I'm a boy with an endless lie (but it's alright)
SKIN
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Verse 1:
And the day that we left
I found a whole in my chest
When you said we were only friends, hanging out
What was I sposed to do, I should swallow my pride
and say it's cool, but I'm a fool, I want you....
Chorus:
I guess I always knew I would
Like you too much for my good
It gets me when I tell you this but it's true
It's so true x3
Verse 2:
And the night that we kissed
We were both pretty pissed
But I still knew how good it felt, but did you?
Now I'd do anything, to get you out from underneath my skin
Wishfull thinking, don't want to
Chorus
You......
Chorus
It's so true x2
RUN OF THE COMPANY
ALBUM: OF SOMEDAY SHAMBLES, 1999
Believe what you will they'll take your honesty still
Honoured Chairman of the Board picking the scraps off the floor
Desperate for more it's corporate law when spirits fall
They'll own our souls.
It's all that we know, in everything that we say
It's everyday of our lives, born to a loss of control (control)
I dream daily, humans are commodities
One day you'll see, run of the company
You don't realise till it's in front of your eyes
When your inside of the plan
Answering all to the man
Chorus x 2
