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

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

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

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

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

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

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)
10.
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

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!
