Ten Reasons to Be Happy
03:13
|
|||
One little boy, receives a Christmas toy, his heart is full of joy
Six, five, four, three
Two people climbed a tree, their hearts were meant to be, they raised a family
Seven, six, five, four
Three men worked a job, with money left to rob, married to their TV
Eight, seven, six, five
Four by four is my symbol and she holds the golden key
Nine, eight, seven, six
Ten reasons to be happy
Ten reasons to be happy
Ten reasons that I'm not sad
Ten reasons that you'll come back
Ten reasons to be happy
Ten reasons to be happy
I'm not sad
I'm not sad
You'll come back
You'll come back
Why did I do this to myself
Why did I gamble mental health
Just to progress myself
Just to refill herself

Hide

Being someone else didn’t get you very far
The doors are shut, with comfort at the bar
Your current plight is plain to see
I hear these things that sadden me
You used to smile make people laugh
Really just a child at heart
Those angry eyes on your face
No satisfaction or a path to take
You told me that you'd change the world
Now you just repair the mould
Cheating lies and bankrupt promises
Makes you feel good inside
I know you've had a lot of hard times
I know you've had a lot of hard times
Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide
The young and hopeless are your victims
With their undeveloped minds
Drinking, dancing, laughing
Feeling weak inside
Others seem to be your downfall
When you’re putting on a show
Change your voice to feel accepted
Like people do on the phone
Some said you should marry her
Just to know your state of mind
I hope one day you find greatness
Leave all of this behind
I know you've had a lot of hard times
I know you've had a lot of hard times
Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide
You hide
Because you lie
You hide
You hide
You lied
You lie
Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide
Look around and see yourself inside
Falling apart but you can't hide

The state of Scottish football
Will never be the same
Down in the foothills
The echoes of the rain
A sense of disappointment
White walls and golden shores
Honesty and hard work
Is what I'm looking for
Air that makes you want to breath
The salt up in the streets
Years of empty canvasses
Respect is what it needs
We picked up our pebbles
As the smoke flew out the beach
The film wasn't real
Like the phone down at the sea
Time is not a factor
In god's country as it stands
The envy of the world
Or a past forgotten land
Cars slide past the mountain
As it all comes around for free
Ice cream shops and sweetie bars
Haven't been on my TV
The captain's down on Friday
To say a fond farewell
We'll miss your thanks and faithful stance
Your guidance fares me well
These rocks and sands and windy lands
That they all tried to raid
Reflecting and respecting
on what I have here today
I think I have been lucky
To have everything I want
But freedom is a word
That I haven't forgot
Time is not a factor
In god's country as it stands
The envy of the world
Or a past forgotten land
Time is not a factor
In god's country as it stands
The envy of the world
Or a past forgotten land

Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Trust can’t buy freedom, it only brought me here
Thrust into another life, to ease a lonely fear
Burden on my shoulders of a frail and fragile ride
Leaving this world, would make the animals run wild
The young have grown up now, quicker than I hoped
I’m still a young man, but I feel I’ve missed the boat
Others made a lucky escape and I’m still in decline
All that seems to change is the ever passing time
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Two seconds of joy in my days of pain
Working all day and nights are just the same
Gamble of love has taken me here
This soap opera life has cost me dear
My fear
My fear
From my dear
From my dear
Right here
Right here
My fear
From my dear
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
Sadness brings us together and lies keep us apart
Why is it wrong, that you just stole my heart
You just stole my heart
You just stole my heart
You just stole my heart
You just stole my heart

I hope you got my letter
Sent from a digital world
You worked really hard
Only to be told
An opinion only matters
When they've seen the full degree
Blood, sweat and planning
Have been left and now your free
Every day
Seven days a week
This prison is known
To make others weak
I looked into your eyes
And knew you'd be fine
Travelling up the road
Or on the northern line
Unmatchable hardship
Can bring us all down
An unfair ride
That goes all the way down
Now it's all over and
I have my angel back
Those days that made us in the end
Right on the northern track
I hope you can dance
I hope you can dance
To this song tonight
I hope you can dance
I hope you can dance
To this song tonight
Remember the snow
Felt like so long ago
Or the walks along the beach
The cold morning runs
The warm summer suns
A feeling of being complete
And this
Unmatchable hardship
Can bring us all down
An unfair ride
That goes all the way down
Now it's all over and
I have my angel back
Those days that made us in the end
Right on the northern track
One, zero, three, one, nine, eight, nine
One, zero, three, one, nine, eight, nine
One, zero, three, one, nine, eight, nine
One, zero, three, one, nine, eight, nine
Unmatchable hardship
Can bring us all down
An unfair ride
That goes all the way down
Now it's all over and
I have my angel back
Those days that made us in the end
Right on the northern track

Routine Cycle

Money won, money won
The battle of our life
Working hard, working hard
Joker in disguise
Deck of cards, never been touched
No drinking gambling here
Find my words, hide my words
Denial of my fear
Hold her close, hold her close
Her wants will be your need
I don't need you anymore
That's one less mouth to feed
Standing here, standing there
In a pile of all my greed
All of this small talk
Makes the conversation deed
We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got
We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got
Hills, rivers, valleys
Will never keep me free
Trees, heather, mountains
Mean nothing to me
Summer, autumn, winter
Always leads to shopping sprees
Guilt amongst the landscape
I'm sure you would agree
Wait until the finance
Comes flying home from sea
I'll go and meet them shortly
When you’re driving on the tee
Reason one to live my life
Shame that it's not you
Your old, I'm young
Your empires done,
It's time to start a coup
We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got
We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got
Oil ideas are hard to lose
Whilst play and lies and understood
Respect is gone, i am done
No need for fatherhood
Oil ideas are hard to lose
Whilst play and lies and understood
Respect is gone, i am done
No need for fatherhood
We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got
We don't speak, we don't speak
What is going on
Perfect life that we lead
Look what we've got

Quarter-Life Crisis
03:02
|
|||
Don't like awkward silences
I'd rather blend into the crowd
Loud places are the death of me
One day I’ll make you proud
Quoting is my hobby
I'm really quite some guy
Weirdness over wisdom
Makes it hard for you to try
Work men don't want me
Too complex for this world
Nobody understands my life
Or the path that I chose
Failure that I'm known to most
Potential is sky high
Guidance was my problem
Made me sink instead of fly
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Thrown out this New Year’s Day
For acting like a child
Drugs and university
Have made me go wild
Old and incoherent with
An eccentric point of view
Harmless and untypical
Wearing skater shoes
Living in a council world
Where money isn't true
Walking home late at night
Through all the bins and spew
This ballad is a tragedy
Of how life is unfair
This brain among the brainless
Has left me with despair
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
Quarter age breakdown
Leaving home
Has only left me on my own
Student of idiots
Far away now
Sold myself
To the boring crowd
Smoking just to pass the time
Hurry up this slow decline
Procrastination, devastation
This is why I’m never fine
This is why I'm never fine
This is why I'm never fine
This is why I'm never fine
This is why I'm never fine
Oh yeah

Paying a Broken Record
02:20
|

There's a fire out on the street
Can't see police out on the beat
In a world of incomplete
For a sorry man
Rain puts out the fire
He was proven as a liar
Voting for the loudest crier
In a broken land
Riot riot police
Prophets of peace
Returning to your streets
In a broken land
I can see your lonely face
Filling out the weekend place
The thrill of the chase
For a sorry man
We all pay
All your way
Make you stay
In a broken land
Riot riot police
Prophets of peace
Returning to your streets
In a broken land
Riot riot police
Cleaning our streets
For hope we can't achieve
Like role models on TV
If it's broke
Do not fix it
Youthful world with plenty victims
We're failing with distinction
Abusing the system
Fighting with religion
In a broken land
Riot riot police
Prophets of peace
Returning to your streets
In a broken land

A Change of Direction?
02:42
|

Do you think you know me now
Do you think you know me now
Did you ever see this
Imagine you would hear this
Dream about a great day
Play, play, play
Do you think you know me now
Do you think you know me now
Looking out my window
Spinning like a swivel
Think you know me now
I think I know you now
Things were always unclear
Crazy like a fun fear
Rough like an old beard
Time to disa-clear
I don't know me now
I don't know me now
Direction change is coming
Now, now, now
Who am I now
Do you think you know me now
Do you think you know me now
Tried to start a sea change
Stumbled on my old age
Felt like being strange
Rage, rage, rage
Only I know how
A change of directive row
Fitting in was easy
Made me feel queasy
Time to go back now
Do you think you know me now
Do you think you know me now
Change is always coming
Arrows are falling
You don't know me now
