Sitting there with your oatmeal breakfast
I hope you don’t choke
Don’t burn your fingers on your hot new pay check
Youl frazzle your eyes
Victory? Soon you'll see
Your bed sheets have big old thread count
Il be in your dreams
You sip away on your ice cool combo
It won’t cure disease
Victory? Soon you'll see

See Creature

|
I made a noise that suggested that I want to be someone else please
You took your time to recognise I’m paralysed from the lack of anything to do
And I said to you, said to you, said to you, I’m not a sea creature
I’m a Leviathan
I had a glance and decided that I couldn’t see straight through you
And you represent my own intent to do anything and everything i choose
And I said to you, said to you, said to you, I’m not a sea creature
I’m a Leviathan

Talking to the animals
[All the animals]
I’m living with the cannibals
[C-c-c-cannibals]
At least that’s how it seems
I know you always wanted me
[I always wanted you]
I know I always needed you
[you always needed me]
At least that’s what it seems
Can’t forget the taste
Sugar, honey
Can’t forget the taste
Sugar, honey
Can’t forget the taste
What big teeth
The better to greet you with
What big teeth
Better to greet you
Faceplant on the wall again
[You on the wall again?]
These teeth are falling out of me
[Falling out again]
At least that’s what it seems
Not waiting on the apple’s fall
[Let the apple fall]
But only cos you are so tall
[I make the apple fall]
And you can pick it for me
Can’t forget the taste
Sugar, honey
Can’t forget the taste
Sugar, honey
Can’t forget the taste
Season and reason
[The leaves are falling free
The fruit is drying uh-up]
You’re cannibals
Season and reason
[The leaves are falling free
The fruit is drying uh-up]
You’re cannibals
Season and reason
[The leaves are falling free
The fruit is drying uh-up]
You’re cannibals
Season and reason
[The leaves are falling free
The fruit is drying uh-up]
You’re cannibals

Buckaroo

|
You make me move
You make me slide
You make me shrink
I take a breathe
I take a hand
I wrap this warmth around me
Hop scotch scrabble buckaroo
Il do a paint by numbers while you play sudoku
Your not real
What the hell am I doing with a made up you
We took a trip
We had ride
You made a mix tape
We had a laugh
You took a fall
We collapsed singing
Nirvana, manics and nick cave too
You created side one and il finish side 2

Play It Cool Oskar

Feeling like I’m on a little windup windup
Thinking a little bit smooth
Rocking up cash in hand takes me places wanna come keeps me quiet play it cool let’s be idiots
Your a rock star in waiting
A top of the pops front page news sensation
Your a rock star in waiting
A bonafide legend with a pedestal waiting
So play it cool play it cool
Sitting on a little old unturned milk tray
Thinking that I’m living on throne
Taking aim dropping balls going places stay at home keeps me normal play it cool let’s be idiots

Run Of The Mill
03:08
|

|
Well infact this is likely to be a disaster because I’ve seen it all before
I make another new song before I know it I have blown it all again
And your kind words will always astound me
I’m hum drum run of the mill
And your kind words will always shock me
I’m hum drum run of the mill
This scenarios likely to be an adventure and I’ve failed at it before
I look out of the window and then I show you I’m closing all the doors
And you kind thoughts will always surround me
I’m hum drum run of the mill
And your patience with all ways support me
I’m hum drum run of the mill

Dunt Be A Fake
02:46
|
|||
|
Don’t be a fake all your life
Don’t be a fake all your life
You just sit at hime and watch tv, take no responsibility don't be fake
Just sit and home and rot your teeth take no responsibility don't be a fake
Don’t say what we want to what don’t say what we want to hear
Now the truth is you hate yourself way more than I dislike you but problem stems from attitude and a lack of self esteem
I’d love to help I really would but do yourself a favour please quit sucking life from everyone and find your own reality your fake

Far Away
04:18
|
|||
|
Standing tall on your own two feet is nothing really to shout about
Your eyes are a mess get yourself dressed that’s a lack of sympathy
Far away from home
Sucking up on your two front teeth is nothing we want to hear about
Your life is a mess you never get dressed there’s a lack of empathy
Far away far away from home
Thank god I don’t know you that well
Take your self off
We can’t see you now
Sitting on your own again
If you don’t love you then won’t love you
Your Wasted

Gaps In The Carpet
03:23

|
Your relying on the functional rules to get you to bed
You decieiving all the straight lines and clarity you will unwind
Fortunately I’m understanding
Fortunate for you I am brave
Time and again there’s a secondary word
Like sinking in the gaps between the carpet
Your disposing all the generalisations that I placed upon you
Your disappearing almost instantly I will recline
