So goddamn self-assured
Yet oh so goddamn bored
Thinking you’re so much better
Yet everyone leaves you in fairer weather
High and proud, you’re looking down
On everyone around
You say your friends are so mundane
And ain’t that a crying shame
You never needed me to read your mind
You know you’re, you know, you know you’re right
You never wanted to be left behind
You know you’re, you know, you know you’re right
You built yourself on lies
And yet act surprised
When all that you made on sand
Comes crumbling down and pouring through your hands
Make your peace or make your bed
Where you can lay your head instead
Words as bonds don’t hold so strong
When all the words are wrong
You never needed me to read your mind
You know you’re, you know, you know you’re right
You never wanted to be left behind
You know you’re, you know, you know you’re right
You never needed me to read your mind
You know you’re, you know, you know you’re right
You never wanted to be left behind
You know you’re, you know, you know you’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right
You’re right

Local Zero (Acoustic)
02:57
|
|||
Cos he’s a dickhead, loser
Never leaves the boozer
Burned out, washed up
Never really gave a fuck
Bloodshot eyeballs
Punching holes in all the walls
He’s no hero
Local zero
Cos he’s a scumbag, shit shag
Everything’s a red flag
Hooked on codeine
Likes them under 17
Lives with his mum
Dresses like a fucking bum
Check your ego
Local zero
I swear this guy’s at every show
He always seems to say he knows
The guys in the band, or the girls at the front
But everyone there just thinks he’s a cunt
Cos he’s a psycho, brainsick
Tries to suck his own dick
Anger issues
Room is full of dirty tissues
High school drop out
Don't know what you're on about
What a waster
A real skirt chaser
Proud of all he can't erase so
No he won't go
Cos he can't grow
Cos he's just the
Local zero

Over & Under (Acoustic)
03:13
|

Sat in the back of your car
Smoke is fillin my eyes
Six foot and twelve drinks deep
You’re gonna bury me alive
Bound and gagged and beat half dead
I find it harder to breathe
A delirious mess of a man
And I’m down on my knees
And all through this I’ve got a smile on my face
Over and under again
Feet in the clouds and with the world above my head
Upside down and inside out, I’m hanging by a thread
Over and under (over and under)
Over and under again
Go and pour me another one
I think I’m starting to see
What you slipped into my veins
Is slowly killing me
Just drop me down by the railway track cos
I think that I can find my way home
It’s when you beat me black and blue
I know that I am never alone
And all through that you had a smile on your goddamn face
Over and under again
Feet in the clouds and with the world above my head
Upside down and inside out, I’m hanging by a thread
Over and under (over and under)
Over and under again
Over and under again
Feet in the clouds and with the world above my head
Upside down and inside out, I’m hanging by a thread
Over and under (over and under)
Over and under again

3 Word Lie (Redux)
03:19
|
|||
I've been told that love's a losing game
But you said "Come on baby, I just want to play"
And so we roll the dice, we keep playing and it's nice
I can't wait for you to tell me all about your day
But we go on, we get things wrong
We kick and scream and fight through almost every night
And so I wrote you one more song
So we can bring this back down and make it right
Cause it takes two
To fall in love
But it takes on
To mess it up
And all is fair
In love and war
But I don't care
1, 2, 3, 4
All I really need is that 3 word lie
To come out of your lips and then I'm terrified
Whenever you say it don't know what to do but
All I really know is that I'm missing you
You tell me that I'm an old soul
Trapped in the body of a younger man
You say I'm too damn cautious, that my face just makes you naseous
Well I'm sorry honey, but I'm doing the best I can
Cause it takes two
To start a fight
Don't know about you but
I can go all night
You're laissez faire
I'm such a bore
But I don't care
1, 2, 3, 4
All I really need is that 3 word lie
To come out of your lips and then I'm terrified
Whenever you say it don't know what to do but
All I really know is that I'm missing you
Living our best lives
Telling our worst lies
Take some time to realise
There's no life behind real eyes
Living our best lives
Telling our worst lies
Take some time to realise
There's no life behind real eyes
Living our best lives
Telling our worst lies
Living our best lives
Telling our worst lies
All I really need is that 3 word lie
To come out of your lips and then I'm terrified
Whenever you say it don't know what to do but
All I really know is that I'm missing you
All I really need is that 3 word lie
To come out of your lips and then I'm terrified
Whenever you say it don't know what to do but
All I really know is that I'm missing you
Living our best lives
Telling our worst lies
Living our best lives
Telling our worst lies

Healthy (Redux)
03:28
|

I‘ve cried too many nights over you, and now I need to get some sleep
Killing time, I’m staring up at the killing moon, and I’m so cold
These miles between us, they’re killing me,
And I’ll just come back home babe, just you wait and see
I remember when you used to keep me warm, sitting on your parent’s porch
Watching as the stars and aeroplanes would light up the sky send me to sleep again
I remember when you used to feel like home, no matter where I went yeah I was never alone
Now all that is gone and I think it’s safe to say, I miss you more than’s healthy every single day
Stolen walks in the park, we used to go there after dark
And in the willow by the river, you made me, made me shiver
Your hair was scarlet, and your eyes were blue
So I stole a kiss, I stole a kiss, stole a kiss from you
Now there’s nothing I can do
I remember when you used to keep me warm, sitting on your parent’s porch
Watching as the stars and aeroplanes would light up the sky send me to sleep again
I remember when you used to feel like home, no matter where I went yeah I was never alone
Now all that is gone and I think it’s safe to say, I miss you more than’s healthy every single day
I remember when you used to keep me warm, sitting on your parent’s porch
Watching as the stars and aeroplanes would light up the sky send me to sleep again
I remember when you used to feel like home, no matter where I went yeah I was never alone
Now all that is gone and I think it’s safe to say, I miss you more than’s healthy every single day

Miracle (Redux)
04:24
|

I can still taste you cherry on my lips
I can still feel your weight upon my hips
The pressure the build-up
The high and the low
Time for the close-up
Time for the show
You dazzle, I marvel
At this wonderous display
My saviour, my shelter
My night and my day
I feel your heart racing
In time with mine
You are my miracle
My reason and rhyme
I've been waiting on a miracle to save me from myself
Let the water come and slowly drag me way under the waves
You keep me here
Like you always said you would
But I never knew you could
Be so good
My angel sings
Unfolds her wings
And brings me home
I've been waiting on a miracle to save me from myself
Let the water come and slowly drag me way under the waves
I've been waiting on a miracle to save me from myself
Let the water come and slowly drag me way under the waves

I miss the memories I had
I miss the memories I had
Soothing
You're moving
In and out of focus
Physically poetry
Lying
I'm dying
To pull you closer
Hold you down
Breathe into me
Come unbound
Come unbound
And you shock and surprise me
And we feel like we could be lightning
Burn me just for fun
Pull me I come undone
I miss the memories I had
I miss the memories I had
Static
Climactic
Palpatations, sweat from every
Pore, so close, you see right through me
See right through me
And you shock and surprise me
And we feel like we could be lightning
Burn me just for fun
Pull me I come undone
I miss the memories I had
I miss the memories I had
I miss the memories I had
I miss the memories I-
I miss the memories
I miss the memories

My saviour, my shelter

I think I've seen the signs
That you're about to do it again
Repeat what you did last time
And hope it turns out different
Definitively mad
And spiralling out of all control
Don't want to hear the truth
I watch it take its toll
Why don't you listen to me?
When all I'm trying to do is just give you a chance
You keep on doing the steps in this dance
Over and over and over
Why don't you listen to me? Why won't you listen to me?
You keep on making the same mistakes
Over and over now
You know that I'm right
And yet you pick a fight
Hold it all inside
You can't control this ride
Or maybe you can't see
The truth that lives inside of me
That I default to misery
And I am you
And you are we
Why don't you listen to me?
When all I'm trying to do is just give you a chance
You keep on doing the steps in this dance
Over and over and over
Why don't you listen to me? Why won't you listen to me?
You keep on making the same mistakes
Over and over now
(Over and over, over and over, over and over, over and over)

You only like me when you're miserable
You only call me when you're sad
You pick me up and drop me like a hobby
Oh hobby horse you're so bad
Oh ain't it funny how you always seem to need me
Once you push all the rest away
And I'm a sucker, I'm always out of luck
Got nothing else to do all day
And so I sit and listen to all your problems
And why don't like her or her face
So he should be with you
But you don't know what to do
Oh hobyy horse you're such a state
You only like me when you're miserable
You only call me when you're sad
You pick me up and drop me like a hobby
Oh hobby horse you're so bad
If I'm being honest I'm bored of hearing all this drama
Over who kissed who
Cos you're sleeping with her boyfriend
But he's got another girlfriend
Oh my god, who cares, boo hoo
Don't need to hear more stories, they're always just so boring
You've got me falling asleep
And I know you think the world should fall at your feet
Oh hobby horse, you're in too deep
You only like me when you're miserable
You only call me when you're sad
You pick me up and drop me like a hobby
Oh hobby horse you're so bad

Mistletoe on every doorway
Happiness and smiles on every
Face I see around the city
Wish that you could see this with me
Lights in all the windows shine
Illuminate this home of mine
But you’re there half the world away
You’re all I want on Christmas Day
I want you here with me
Wrapped up under the tree
Because you are
Everything I want this year
So let me take you home for Christmas
Presents wrapped and children singing
Hear the sound of bells a-ringing
Round the town from every steeple
For all the shiny happy people
Wish this I was smiling with them
But I know why I’m not content
Slade and Wizzard can’t help me
Cos I know where I’d rather be
I want you here with me
Wrapped up under the tree
Because you are
Everything I want this year
So let me take you home for Christmas
It’s not much to ask
It’s all I want, it’s all that’s on my list
I don’t ask for much
It’s not money or fame it’s just one thing
In affairs if the heart
I won’t back down, cos I’ve been good this year
Yeah I’ve done my part
So Santa won’t you give me what I want
I want you here with me
Wrapped up under the tree
Because you are
Everything I want this year
So let me take you home
Oh come on, just come home
I want you here with me
Wrapped up under the tree
Because you are
Everything I want this year
So let me take you home for Christmas
Come home for Christmas

Now when you hear this song please bear in mind, I’m not usually the vindictive kind
But a little revenge never hurt nobody good
I met this girl who thought she owned the world, endless fucking friends list and money to burn
I told her I loved her, she told me she loved me too
So imagine my shock when I found her with another dude
I asked with my heart in my mouth ‘What’s going on?’
She said-
Finder keepers, loser sleep alone
You’d better find a place that you can call your own
I felt the red mist starting to descend, I’d been told by my friends that our story would end
With a crash and burn fallout, but all I did was sigh
When I found her screwing with another guy
I should have seen it coming, my friends all knew,
They said-
Finder keepers, loser sleep alone
You’d better find a place that you can call your own
I was left on the street, no food left to eat
Just the clothes on my back, my guitar and a beat
I said I would do something with my life
And that’s how I’m here to tell you tonight
She came back four years later
Said ‘I’m the biggest faker,
And will you reconsider my part in this surrender’
So I told her what she told me
I said
Finder keepers, loser sleep alone
You’d better find a place that you can call your own

Memories (Loser Version)
03:49
|

I’ve been living off of bad dreams and television screens
So I regress to the places I know
Drinking in Alice’s basement, and playing central perk
I’ve never felt so far from home, I’ve never felt like such a fucking jerk
I’ve done this all to myself and I know that for sure
I sing along with Deaf Havana, screaming I’m a fucking bore
I’ve been my own undoing and I regret every word
I should re-learn how to make friends from Big Bird
I’ve been burning bridges since I turned 17
And my ship is slowly sinking, I’m one fucked up S.O.B
So I’ll do my grand finale, and I’ll take my final bow,
So you can drag me home so I can sleep somehow
All I have of home is these pictures on my wall
And somehow it’s so much worse than nothing at all
Please won’t somebody call me, or at least a fucking text?
I’m lonely, hungry, sad and it’s been months since I had sex
I’ve been burning bridges since I turned 17
And my ship is slowly sinking, I’m one fucked up S.O.B
So I’ll do my grand finale, and I’ll take my final bow,
So you can drag me home so I can sleep somehow
I never tried to be the bad guy, my intentions were always good
The only problem was I had no one to talk to, I would just sit alone and play Pokémon
I’m an alien in my home town and an outcast in this place
I could really do with a saving grace
I miss the memories I had, I miss the home I used to have
I want to take back what I said, I want to sleep in my own bed
I miss the memories!
