Round and round we go again
A new day starts before the other one ends
stuck in motion stuck in mud
A life in a tracksuit and a hand in glove
We make words that will satisfy us
Like A pint of milk and a boxing glove
Andrew Didwell knows the truth
The pillow came off and it smashed his tooth
It’s time to enjoy the show
It’s time to enjoy the show

The National Anthem

I never understood the rise and fall of the energy
Framed gold records lined the wall
There’s no satisfaction in a memory
Ears and eyes and nose and mouth created something that you liked
A case of medals sounds quite nice but the thrill of it has long declined
Talk to me
That’s all it takes to fill the gaps the little holes inside me
That’s what it takes for a bit of hope that something else will fill that empty space
I played gig in front of 20,000 family
Nighttime came and went away can’t ever sleep day after day
Olympic record won the race I’m slower now can’t keep the pace
Haunted by the starting gun I’m struggling to even run away

What’s say boy
What do ya do
Plucking up courage
To fix and make do
Honey period are essential practice
For living out your fantasies
And robust planning leads to long term outcomes and fix success don’t overlook this horrible mess
You can be as free as you like
What’s in the news boy
What’s going on
Stealing the limelight
That’s all you can do

Knit Things

Your the polar opposite of me
I like the small screen and you love to read
There’s a passion I secretly have
I like to knit things
That look like my dad
It’s ok if I don’t belong
I don’t like madness but you sing house of fun of fun
I’m like a tiger but your kangaroo I like to go slow but your built for speed
What would I see if I went up to space
Would I wear my dressing gown would I win the race
There’s a picture embedded in my brain
If I shut my eyes I can see it clear again

Bullet through the window
Kissing an albino
Treat him to a free go
At playing al Pacino
Talk to me shout back again
Shame his friends
His only friends
I thought I had a free throw
A spit ball missed me tho
A little pigeon feed tho
Thrown in your face
He’s got powdered nose
And he’s got itchy toes
Yes not nice to know blah
Everywhere he goes he’s a gobshite
Bullet through the window
Kissing an albino
Treat him to a free go
At playing al Pacino
Talk to me shout back again
Cradling his ego he doesn't care

Caught by the fuzz
Well I was, still on a buzz
In the back of the van
With my head in my hands
Just like a bad dream
I was only fifteen
If only my brother could be here now
He'd get me out he'd sort me out alright
I knew I should have stayed at home tonight
Locked in the cell, feeling unwell
I talked to a man,
He said it's better to tell
Who sold you the blow,
Well it was no one I know
If only you'd tell us we'd let you go
We'll make it up for you my son,
So tell us what you know,
We'll make you wish you'd stayed at home tonight
Here comes my mum, well she,
She knows what I've done
Just tell them the true,
You know where he's from,
You've blackened our name,
Well you, you should be ashamed
If only your father could see you now,
He'd breakdown and he'd throw you out for sure,
I never should have let you out tonight

cold winters day
Makes you senses half as useful
You keep awakeby drinking 19 cups of coffee
Holidays are only nice and fun if you are
Paralysed by shouting kids and hiding in the rain.
Oh what did you say
You families attacked me
It’s nice to stay somewhere safe if you are lonely
Your telephone can only help if other people
seize the day and think of you with love and kindness
look at you just curling up and hiding in in the rain
Oh what did you say
Your families me
Oh what did you say
Your families attacked me
Take off your face
Take off your face
Yak
Ahhh
Take off your face
Take off your face
Take off your arghhh
So what do you say
Your families attacked me
Yeah what do you say
Your families

Reel It In
02:46
|

|
I hit the wall when I found something out about you yesterday
I fear it all
I drowned my sorrows and myself in the English Channel yesterday
I fear it all
I lost my sense of space and time whenever I rolled out of bed
I lost it all
It made no sense to represent myself in any of way
This is a once in lifetime chance to reel it all back

Fiesta
02:23

I think that you are pretty perfect
You hold me tight I think I’m going nowhere
Nice soft touch and boy do you smell nice
Reliable and always where I need you
Oh hey me and you
It’s like me and you
I think me and you are meant to be
Il never forget you my Ford Fiesta
Your long black strike and beige demeanour
We spent some times so close when we were together

Waste Of Time
02:04

I can't tell if I'm here or not
The room is spinning like a record
I've been listening to the Lemonheads
About now I think I'd better stop
I've been around too many sympathetic ears, I'd better wake up
I caught my finger in the door again
I knew I should've stayed in bed
I stopped my toe on the fridge again
About now I think I'd better stop
I've been around too many sympathetic ears, I'd better wake up
Base your day on waking up too late
Go back to bed it won't improve today
I've been around too many sympathetic ears, I'd better wake up
I've been around too many sympathetic ears, I'd better wake up
It's a waste of time

Function junction
It’s gonna a while until you don’t kill
Your name is muck with luck Youl live to tell this tale
Something rumbling
There’s gonna while until you stand still
My face is stuck with luck you'll live to tell this tale
And with the silent screams of a telephone ring you'll put yourself to bed I’m sure
And when lightning strikes you'll satisfy your self I’m sure of that you'll live to tell the tale

Postage Stamp
05:06
|

Its True I heard a story
About an old man down the street
He had feet for hands
And elastic bands for hair
And couldn't speak
He wrote down all his questions
with a second hand marker pen
on the back of postage stamps
with a picture of an olympic summer event
And I always hated
the way he looked at me,
with a simple conversation
he could bring you down to your knees
on the morning that it happened,
I wasn't here I swear
But the police came
and took me away
and they didn't even care.
Its true I have a story
About a time a lost it all
I had tied up hands
In the back of a van
As they crushed the life out of me
They wrote down all my answers
Twisted truths right out of me
And All I could see, in a darkened space was a tired old postage stamp
And I always hated
the way he looked at me,
with a simple conversation
he could bring you down to your knees
on the morning that it happened,
I wasn't here I swear
But the police came
and took me away
and they didn't even care.

Wait And See
03:23
|

|
Years ago I was just 16
The world seemed to be so awful mean
So I'd stay at home, all alone until I feel asleep
In that time I would always dream
But I'd never know what they mean
Like pulling teeth and counting sheep, they never made me smile
So I looked up to the other sky
Where houses float and people never die
Whats the worst that could ever happen to me
I guess that we'll just have to wait and see
Now I'm middle aged I still dream
But I never know what they mean
Like not having fun, not being able to run, I always wake up happy
Because I know that you are there
And I know that I don't care
What the dreams will be, cos I can see you looking back at me
So I looked up to the other sky
Where houses float and people never die
Whats the worst that could ever happen to me
I guess that we'll just have to wait and see
Wait and see (do you love me)
