Woke up again today
Realised i hate myself My face is a disease I'm gonna need to find A happy medium To make my future look good My body is a temple And my hands and mouth are science Smoke till my mouth gets furry Then smoke some ugly more Let the juices flow Being alive right now is sore Everythings ok I'm obviously unhappy You can tell I'm losing it again Paper on the piano Credit in the red I cant find my friends Walk the market aisles Looking for a girl I asked out when i was 10 And i just don't fit in Too unfit for the gym My youth is dead Woke up again today |

I've been asked to write a song without a swear word or a slight
At myself or another, for my mother for my bride A song that'll shine on my kids and theirs to come Something that'll love them and watch over when I'm gone To my ward, to my wheel-chair, to my runner's-up drip Will you push me will you pull when I'm too fat to see my? Didn't I always tell you I'd stay for 2000 years? You'd better hope that science fiction doesn't have good ears You're rubbing on my genie hurry up and make a wish Quenched that thirst my bag is burst watch out for all my? Flies trying to break in to my eyes like little rymes Of hatred trying to squeeze inside all these precious lines I see across to the hills and the bridge that wears the sun I remember how I feel when I know you're going to come Running up the stairway and through the front door Cook us dinner then we burst, take pictures on the floor Remember when I sing my songs that opposites attract That's why these shavings of despair come zooming to my heart For he is gold and magnet-red and beacon and a light I take these flies and pick them off and catalogue the night So put it in your eyes any way that you like I say the words and feel your heart when I lie awake at night I know sometimes I'm moody and you have to wear kid-gloves I'm trying hard to better myself I'm trying to rise above So I tried to write a song without a swear word or a slight At myself or another at my mother at my bride I almost got accosted by the good old negative And even when I'm screaming love I'm swearing that it is? Shouldn't I just admit it that I've lost the race to lose Break the record in it's track and stop being confused A friend to my failures and a friend to myself Is what I'll be when I've fixed the roof and everything else |

Ah, Autumn
You fucking cunt Keep bringing me memories that I dinnae want How come you do it to me every time Cold recollection of all my crimes It's when I'm carefree that you like to travel Swing round in front of me and grab my lapel You're warm greeting is as cold as mine Do I disturb you so that you need my time Isn't it funny how all the people I've loved All have in common the fact that I've shoved Them away from me, away from mine, I'm a no man's land and a man with no mind Well Autumn fuck you for you have no reason All my life you've been my favourite season Well I'm sick of the memories and the messages you bring Piss off you're chucked I'm gonna go out with spring |

Yeah you know it's true
When I say I'll never leave you And you know it's true When I promise with my finger Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you Yeah I know how gentle I need to be with you When you hug me and squeeze your eyes And I've never had more use Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you And I'm sorry about my face I wish that I could smile more When you're laughing on the telephone And it carries me all those miles back home Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you You should have a care, You won't always be alone But now it's only six weeks left Then I'm coming back home Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you Stay with me and I... I'll always stay with you Bear with me and I... I'll always take care of you Bear with me and I... I'll always bear with you |

You're gonna break my heart I know it
But if you don't You're gonna break my run of unhappiness and destroy my career I'd rather feel full than sing these shit songs I'll sell my guitar and never look back You're gonna break my heart I know it And when you do I'm going to run to the country and plug my ears I'd rather have you than sing these shit songs I'll sell my guitar and get an education and never look back You're gonna break my heart I know it If you don't break my heart I'll do it myself And when I do I'm going to count all the numbers for all the years If I don't have you I'm condemned to sing shit songs I'll fuck my guitar and drink myself deaf It'll be an education and I'll never look back I don't want to sing these shit songs anymore |

Last year I got knives for Christmas
Stayed at home and no one missed us Lying on the bathroom floor I don't want to ho-ho-ho no more No one knows that I'm not well As I stare in awe at this burst Noel Lights burning from the street in I know I'll spend this season greeting When good King Wenceslas looked out Everything was fucked and I was just about To carve the turkey and watch Eastenders Because they're my friends and my friends are strangers now |

There's a choir behind me
Egging me on Placing their bets and hoping I'll do no wrong I'll do no wrong There's a guy inside me Biding his time Standing in line and waiting for me to fall For me to fall Self-preservation threatens us all Health deterioration comes to us all There's a fag beside me Waiting to be lit Trying to trick me and make me forget I've quit Forget I've quit I take a risk everyday When I get up Do I try harder or continue to fuck up? Fuck up Self-preservation threatens us all Health deterioration comes to us all There's a bear in my bed Wanting to be loved Eyes like marbles all he needs is a hug All he needs is a hug My beginner's luck is wearing thin I'll need to rely on skill if I'm gonna win I'm gonna win Self-preservation threatens us all Health deterioration comes to us all |

And you're the only person that can make me feel alone
Just withdraw your eyes and you'll hear me start to moan I've never felt so lonely as when you're in the next room I hope you come back in here, come back in here soon Had your face in my eyes all weekend now you're gone 24 long miles but my car's broken down he wont travel 3 and he cant travel 10 so when will we ever see you again and I've never been so devastated I've never felt more betrayed Got a spring in my eye and a light in my step I wasn't made to feel this way Got your hair in my hand, your legs running to me Should I lick the bath or should I wait till Tuesday I'm sorry for the silence I'm sorry for the noise You know I'll make it up to you with a million steak McCoys And how can you like me With this head and these arms How can this shallow freak be accused of having charm The way the earthquakes land when I blow my nose How long can I be myself before you get up and go and I've never been so devastated I've never felt more betrayed Got a spring in my eye and a light in my step I wasn't made to feel this way |

Feels like the world's against us today
Karma's flying got a sting in her tail A new best friend has let me down so badly Seems like a year and this feels like a hole Sitting with the sun in the slats on my wall Bumps in the carpet the threat of despair I've left the whole world under there My loneliness shines out my?. Out of sight out of mind Out my mind with no sight For what matters I dwell on mistakes In 5 years I'll know what I've done But I'll be 5 years too late Give me a mile and a destination My favourite place is Falkirk High Station Metal rails stretch off towards life And I'm just waiting I think I've cracked it We are what we do We're made up of actions and there are no rules But don't stand on heads to get higher, listen to your angels, And spread through life like a fire I'm so lucky, got goose bumps again Listening to the song of a friend Spill my guts tell you everything Like how I've got it all but appreciate nothing |

On a Monday night I'm nothing
On a Tuesday night I'm nobody On a Wednesday Thursday Friday night I'm sad Then the weekend comes to haunt me Of all the places I should be Minding me of the best times I ever had So there's nothing wrong with being alone No need to call the doctor Sometimes people need to be by themselves And there's nothing weird about hating yourself When you've seen the hours I've spent Darkness comes and darkness goes Just like my good times went Old and driving Tired from straying too far My head wont give me a break And the rest is making my history I never seem to make the right decision anytime I need to crash this piece of shit into a tree that fits So I don't know how to finish this song I'm happy now but for how long I'm a sad tune and I'll have to keep the tone Well it's only a matter of time before I feel like shit again I'm a happy army marching to defeat |

No more despair, no more being scared
No bottom lip sticking out through your hair No talking down, no staring through The walls I wont let them come crashing down on you No modest bear, no worried tiger And dont you fret And i wont either We'll go to the ferry and get some chips And then I'll kiss your salty lips Then we'll see my great granny's grave And we'll feel mortal then we'll be saved We'll stop the clouds from coming in And we will win. The world cant come, in here today Shut the curtains, phone in sick, It's time to play, You and me, me and you, Together we're strong enough to do what we wanna do |

You go your way and I’ll go mine
I’ll try to meet you in a better life We should meet up at the end of time Get a beer and a cigarette for Auld Lang Syne Was it just a dream? All those people None of this is real A kingdom for a fool animals on a wheel I’m a king in my head a cripple in the world How do I wrap this up and give it to that girl? My gift to you, I’m gonna be a better person I stare at you with a vague and immense longing Try to save yourself while you’re still alive Don’t deny yourself of your right to thrive Solemn Thirsty, born on Thursday, got pished Saturday, fucked up Sunday Took ill Wednesday, died on Thursday There’s no better man than Solemn Thirsty And I try to stay on, so I keep coming back |
