The Madness 03:16
lyrics
buy track
The madness As soldiers go off to the fighting And mothers wait for their sons What about us who are left behind? Too impatient to wait Too weak to shed blood Hurra for the hearts that we’re breaking Let’s drink to the fact that we drink The best part of me is polluting the sea Let the madness go on forever The world’s full of money and profit Opportunities to exploit What about us who sit on our butt? Not heartless enough Or greedy enough Hurra for the hearts that we’re breaking... I could have been a VIP With girls on my arm And shows on TV I made my mistakes at the starting gate Chose the path that led downwards Hurra for the hearts that we’re breaking... You’re with us or you’re against us As the popular saying goes But what about us who can’t choose a side? We just see ourselves in the enemy’s eyes Hurra for the hearts that we’re breaking... Let the madness go on forever May the fun never stop Someday we’ll look for solutions In the meantime let’s drink till we drop Hurra for the hearts that we’re breaking...

Reputation 04:26

Reputation Why can’t it just be a question of fun? We’ve always got to show We can get the job done Reputation I’d give it all up at the drop of a hat Give the beach front house and the Ferrari back Reputation So busy producing We’re forgetting to live So busy consuming And all that goes with it Just live Forget what the neighbours think And live Just live What’s the alternative? Just live So you’ve got something to talk about And something to be Instead of just a slave to Reputation It’s all partners and ownership Why don’t we fuck each other And have done with it? Reputation So busy producing We’re forgetting to live....

Shut Your Mouth 05:04
lyrics

Shut your mouth Thank you for the good advice Thank you for my head in a vice I’m getting sick of the way you talk And the way you’re always right I’ve got no logical answer But I’m still gonna put up a fight Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up It’s really nothing personal Shut up, shut up But I just don’t like you Shut your mouth Before you catch a fly in it Shut your mouth Don’t drink that acid rain Shut your mouth I could park my car in it Roll up your tongue and zip your lip That’s enough for today Thank you for your 2 cents’ worth It really was 2 cents worth I’m getting sick of the way you talk The way you don’t understand a thing I talk and talk till I’m blue in the face And still you ask me what I mean Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up It’s really nothing personal Shut up, shut up But I just don’t like you Shut your mouth Before you catch a fly in it.... You and me We gotta find a better melody For you only listen to you While I only listen to me Thank you for being here What would I do without you? Let’s go and pick some flowers And smoke the pipe of peace And maybe find some others And get on their case Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up Shut up, shut up It’s really nothing personal Shut up, shut up But we just don’t like you

Sunday Afternoon 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Sunday Afternoon You’ve got big plans Good luck with that A man can spend his whole life Picking fluff out of his navel Me, I’ve held this fence post up For five and twenty years We can’t all be superstars Some of us have a job to do You’re always searching Good luck with that A man must take contentment Where he finds it Me, I’ve got the four winds To whisper in my ear There’s a world out there And I’ve already seen it So do yourself a favour Hop on a bus to the city And leave us in our Boredom and misery She might cry when you’re gone But not for long Not for long ‘Cause nothing ever happens And nothing ever will This town’s one long Sunday afternoon You had your fun And now it’s gone A man must recognise the time To pack up and move on Life goes on regardless You can’t compete with that Better the rut you know Than the travelling show

Little Bee 03:56
lyrics

Little Bee Dancing to your own personal mambo On six strings of mystery And a voice to match I half expected a big splash Of colour But no The wind has no colour Little bee You’ve been busy With your personal industry Don’t ever think it isn’t worthwhile It’s always worthwhile Little bee You’ve been busy With your personal industry Don’t ever think it isn’t worthwhile It’s always worthwhile Singing your own personal daydream On six strings of finest gold And the purest soul I half expected some kind of eruption But no Love has no violence Little bee You’ve been busy With your personal industry Don’t ever think it isn’t worthwhile It’s always worthwhile Little bee You’ve been busy With your personal industry Don’t ever think it isn’t worthwhile It’s always worthwhile

Whispering Bob 04:50

Whispering Bob Bob teaches kids To play the guitar He could have been a contender But back when his friends Were making it big Bob had other plans He’s the nicest guy In the world And when he drinks He’s even nicer In that kind Of heartfelt way That makes you want to run Whispering Bob

Daddy 04:22
lyrics
buy track
Daddy Daddy’s got his eye on the waitress That much is plain to see I wish he’d do something about it Instead of trying to hide What the world can see There’s no fool like an old fool But an old fool’s better than none Let the show go on Let the monsters’ ball continue Daddy’s full of nasty surprises The making up was worse than the split One more year of that godawful music And it’s me they’ll be certifying insane Such an old fool But an old fool’s better than none Let the show go on Let this honky-tonk shit continue When you can’t play Can’t sing You’re such an amateur at everything There’s nothing for it but to strike it rich Be half a nobody in style With your denial Daddy’s still making his music And throwing it into the hole For spiders and birds And a handful of nerds He’s the might-have-been that never was There’s no fool like an old fool But an old fool’s better than none Let the show go on The old man’s got his uses

Cappuccino 05:28
lyrics
buy track
Cappuccino Hey look! There’s David Lynch Over in the corner Drinking chocolate shake And waiting for the sugar rush That opens up the goldmine To hungry marketeers There’s billions of dollars in chocolate shake When you’ve got Hollywood Cappuccino Sprinkled with that chocolate stuff It’s thick and creamy But it’s never enough To drown out the smell of staleness As yesterday’s haut cuisine Turns into a replica of itself And look! There’s Donald Trump In his helicopter On his way between hirings and firings A VIP You wouldn’t mind that action If it didn’t cost anything But it costs And you’re lost A million miles from Hollywood Hey look! There’s Greta Garbo She don’t want anything Except to be left alone She’s seen the face of the gorgon And lived to tell the tale That no one wants to hear There’s billions of dollars in human pain And all it takes is Hollywood

Misfit 03:51
lyrics

Misfit I plant my foot In my mouth Sociophobia So I stop the words before they get out Sociophobia I’ve got nothing to tell But my life is hell And yes, I’m single again I’d talk about you Find out what you do But I wouldn’t know where to begin The fork in my hand is the wrong one Sociophobia But it’s too late to change Without drawing looks Sociophobia I can’t see why They invited me And yes, I’m single again I feel like I’ve got nothing to lose But everything to defend Misfit Hoping just for once Things would go your way Misfit Not heeding the rules Or wanting to play But desperate anyway I want some recognition I’ve lost the art of small talk Sociophobia And here it’s wall to wall talk Sociophobia I’ve nothing to tell But my life is hell And yes, I’m single again I’m vulnerable to benevolence But I can’t be anyone’s friend

Alec 05:15
lyrics

Alec Life is beautiful We’ll be dead a long time I don’t wanna start a revolution Just get through with a little style I don’t fight the forces of nature And I don’t fight with my wife I just find the short cuts That make existence worthwhile Life’s a bitch I’m more dead than alive Come the revolution I’ll set up my demons in one long line And push them down like dominoes And stand up to my wife No more sneaky short cuts No more pathetic lies Such an admirable man Such activity with no discernible plan A battle of extremes In a warm summer breeze Alec I’ve sen the best of both worlds Been up and I’ve been down From the depths of insanity To the dizzy heights of ivory towers Is one stone to another With worlds in between Life’s too short to throw away On might have beens

Hard to Be Me 04:55
lyrics
buy track
It’s hard to be me It’s hard It’s hard to be me Yeah, it’s hard Hard to be me It’s hard to make an honest dollar When you’ve gotta make ends meet It’s hard not to cut a corner When it’s winning that matters, you cheat It’s hard to play second fiddle When you’re born to be king And lord knows it’s hard to be little In the grand scheme of things Yeah it’s hard, hard, hard Yeah it’s hard to be me When everyone’s getting promoted You’re still sitting it out All of your former ambitions Seem irrelevant now You might just turn to religion If you didn’t think God was a fool You might just chew on your pistol Leave your brains on the wall Yeah it’s hard, hard, hard Yeah it’s hard to be me
