STAR MACHINE

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 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 Pre Chorus Chorus Meander Chorus I’ve set the date take off’s tonight My star machine takes flight

FALL DOWN

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 Thought police have busted in And broken up and stolen almost everything They’ve a job to do a special mission To reinstate their point of view It’s in with the old order out with the new They’re the guys that wrote that song That’s been playing on the airwaves all day long It’s a catchy tune hummable melody And you can’t drive it from your brain It’s got a chorus that repeats over and over again Window, opportunity I got a message and it comes for free There’s another way that way is real But you just won’t get it till the walls fall down

JERKS OF ATTENTION (2015 REMASTER)

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 Verse 1: There is no pain, my bodies drained I never should of had that fourth slice straight We gathered round, the lost and found But my jerks of attention let me down Pre-Chorus: Well I took the first one, And I pulled it back. And what was once green Had all turned black, had all turned black And there was nothing left to say.

CONTROL

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 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

LEAVING HOME

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 Verse 1: Were you laughed at by your friends And were you lost for words when everybody finally told you what they thought You can’t keep up with the trend It makes you lose but somehow everybody always makes up in the end Oh, was it something that I ate Oh, didn’t even touch my plate Oh, suddenly I’m feeling great Do you like me now Chorus: Leaving home, life was never good to me Leaving home, I smell the morning air Leaving home, life was never good You can work it out we’re leaving home Verse 2: I could hear them through the door As people came in laughing at the way they acted when they were alone And an argument can start with nothing more than this To be the light and leave you standing on your own Oh, am I doing it again Oh, I’m a loser now and then Oh, and I smile at everything Do you like me now Chorus Verse 3: Hope I like the life I find when I leave everything behind I hope I’m sure I’ve made my mind to go and leave home Chorus

FIRST TIME

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 There’s a first time for everything You don’t have to be the alter boy to sing There’s a last time for nothing Until you die of course in which case there may be But I’m holding on to the learning and the reading I’ve been doing About what awaits us on the other side There’s a first time for everything So if you want it don’t be shy girl just jump in You might find out if you do nothing You’ll regret it for as long as you’re living And I know that it’s not easy to believe in what I’m saying But if we’re gonna make it we just gotta try When on a losing streak day will everything wind up ok? This could be the end of the line or this could be just like our first time I’ve been a fool for so long Could something so right be so wrong? This could be the end of the line Let’s make it just like our first time And I know that it’s not easy to believe me, lord knows I agree To the point where I can’t even believe it myself Believe it myself But if you do I will But if you do, yeah if you do There’ll be a first time!

MILITARY STRONGMEN

FEET TOUCH THE GROUND

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 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 Break Chorus

IT'S OVER

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 Long ago in days gone by It was much simpler for the guy And when The Cure sang “Boy’s don’t cry” I said I had something in my eye You were right when you said I was wrong It’s over And right before the storm I told you everything I know thats not good form but feeling is the most peculiar sport I might get bored but I could never tell you that it’s over Spent too long staring out for stars I lost control and crashed my car I hadn’t even got that far Left my good fortune at the bar You were right when you said I was wrong It’s over And right before the storm I told you everything I know that’s not good form but feeling is the most peculiar sport I might get bored but I could never tell that it’s over It’s over.

MONUMENT

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 Verse 1: I’m really gonna pack in this new job I do It’s gonna be the death of me I went to a party of some girl that I knew At least the alcohol was free With all the family around We couldn’t find a common ground And so we left with what we found When we first came so Chorus: Where you been, where you been, where’d you go Leaving me alone and feeling low I’m supposed to be the one you want I’m supposed to be the one you want Verse 2: I’m supposed to be the one you want I know that I don’t earn one hundred points in bed But will you love me anyway It’s just that there’s so much going on in my head That I don’t know what to say Your car rolled away out of sight You can not leave without a fight Okay you lose so we were right When we first came so Chorus x 2

YESTERDAY WHEN I WAS BRAVE

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 Verse 1: Yesterday when I was brave I didn’t fold I didn’t cave Gave freedom to every slave I’d ever harboured Yesterday when I was strong I made a right of every wrong That had been around so long I’d just got used to Chorus: Where do you go? Who do you keep running from? The world has only kept you down Where do you go? Who do you keep running from? The world has only kept you down Verse 2: Yesterday when I was brave I saw a future I could save Nothing else stood in my way could ever stop me Yesterday anything was a possibility because I believed and so it was that nothing broke me Chorus Verse 1 Chorus

MORE ALONE

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 I’ve been doing the strangest dreaming I left not knowing where I was going And you’re so misty and I’m so twisted by the way I feel I’m spinning like a wheel My love is so surreal Walked for ages through different stages Of all my failures and past disclaimers And in this city being lost aint pretty like it used to be Now when my mind is free Things get on top of me Oh, I’m more alone when I’m with you There, you got me There’s no hiding the future’s riding On coming clean with the past I’m fighting Cos when you’re with me I’m forced to see me as I really am I’m not s’posed to be thinking of you At least not this way but now it’s too late And you’re so misty and I’m so messed up in this reverie I’m never gonna be all that I hoped I’d be Oh, I’m more alone when I’m with you There, you got me I’m done with holding out for the sky Opportunity passes me by Cos it’s true you don’t think of me The way I think of you Come on admit it it’s true Oh, I’m more alone when I’m with you There, you got me

TEFLON

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 We were going along To a particular song Just hanging around Feet scuffing the ground Catching us on a roll We were collecting the dole Doesn’t mean something’s wrong We were just slipping along Slipping along Slipping along Yeah Slipping along At a party we found People hanging around There was nothing to do We were smoking a few Saw two girls outside They were both pretty wired I thought something was wrong But they were just getting it on Slipping along Yeah Slipping along 1, 2, 3, 4 So long, I’m slipping on, and on Yeah We were going along To a particular song Just hanging around Feet scuffing the ground Catching us on roll We were collecting the dole Doesn’t mean something’s wrong We were just slipping along Slipping along Slipping along Yeah Slipping along 1, 2, 3, 4 So long, I’m slipping on, and on Yeah

LOST MY NERVE

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 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

RUN OF THE COMPANY

ALBUM: TWENTY, 2015 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
