I get nervous right before they call my name
The adrenaline that runs through my veins
Makes my hands shift and shake
Will this be the night I make my name?
All I hope is that I make them all proud
And hear them all scream my name out loud
I can taste the glitz and the glamour
I hope I'm in the Gods' favour
Round one and the bells go off
We dance round each other like kids in the playground
Neither one wants to fire their gun
Because when we do there is only one way out
Round two and it goes to you
Rounds three and four have me on the floor
But rounds five and six I've got some tricks to show you
My wife and children are sat by the ringside
I can almost hear them crying
As he drives his fists into my face
I'm on the ropes
Held firmly in my place
Round seven's when I knew I should have listened
To everything that my wife had said
Round Eight and I'm filled with hate
And I swear that soon I will make him dead
Rounds Nine and Ten I rally again
I can see myself winning in the end
But then comes eleven and the beating that I'm given
Makes me wonder if I'll even make it out of this thing living...
One last round
Take me down
One more Bout
Knock
Me
Out

Boy

He'll do it again
And you'll be right back where you started from
He'll do it again
Incident counter set right back to one
He'll do it again
And he'll be sorry for a day or two
He's that kind of man
And he'll say that he just lost control
But he'll do it again and again and again
Because deep down he thinks he's done no wrong
So he'll do it again and again and again
And you'll be right back where you started from
Don't waste your life
Tied to this boy
He'll never change
I know he meant it when he said he was sorry
Just like he meant it last time

Photosynthesis
03:35
|

My battery's low
It's getting dark
I could sleep forever
My movement slow
But there's a spark
Break down the walls
Push further on
I have no breath
I cannot speak
I am reduced to instinct
There's nothing left of me
Except a will that could move mountains
Hold tightly to my coattails and I swear I'll see us through this
I'll be your light, I'll be the sun when you need Photosynthesis.
I'll give you life
I'll keep you warm
No human being could do more
Through pain and hurt
I'll always do
My level best to help you
Hold tightly to my coattails and I swear I'll see us through this
I'll be your light, I'll be the sun when you need...
Photosynthesis.

You caught me taking that one photograph
That everyone takes in Liverpool
Because I'm such a basic bitch
I got no silver spoon
I'm not embarrassed by what I like
I'm just a wool who knows when he sees a good pic
Over the water, It's bedlam,
And that's where I'm from
So this is Class to me
A Page in Bido Lito,
Bold Street for vegan gyro
A giant spider walking through Williamson Square
A floating city of light
A beacon of a good night
There's nowhere else on this earth that could quite compare
Now I know we got good things this side of the drink
We got Bloom
Future Yard
Beaches for all eyes to see
I could show you the red rocks where we all used to party
But in time
We'd always find that we'd all end up
In the K3
Over the water, It's bedlam,
And that's where I'm from
So this is Class to me
A Page in Bido Lito,
Bold Street for vegan gyro
A giant spider walking through Williamson Square
A floating city of light
A beacon of a good night
There's nowhere else on this earth that could quite compare
You caught me taking that one photograph
That everyone takes in Liverpool, yeah.

Virginia
02:40
|

The world was good in black and white
Now the sun begins to fade
The colour of your skin is grey
Red hair's black in greyscale
Your face lit up the silver screen
And your smile could stop a heart
Your eyes so full of character
They cry and we fall apart
Virginia
Your name in lights no more
Now broken up in bits on the sidewalk
So excited for this new era
Where the song becomes the thing
The It Girl for millions
Finds herself having to sing
From rags to riches and back to rags
They take their second choice
The talk of all the meeting rooms
You've the face but not the voice
Virginia
Your name in lights no more
Now broken up in bits on the sidewalk
Virginia
From your lips to the ears of god
"The more I see of men, the more I like Dogs"

Knight In The Garden
02:39
|
|||
There's a man next door who swears he's a knight
I can see him in the garden, armour shining bright
He swings that sword round his fucking head
And I swear that I can not believe what he just said
He said
"I am pain, I am darkness
I'm not afraid so feel the sharpness
Of my blade!" said the Knight in the garden
There's a man in the garden who says he's a knight
Every morning I get up and see him training to fight
Some dragon, winged beastie, Monsters in their den
Or maybe he'll bring the taste of cold steel to men
And should the apocalypse come
I'll stand behind him.

The Ghost Of You
02:08
|
|||
I've tried to be on my own
But there's something not quite right in my home
The ghost of you lingers on
In papers and empty spaces on my wall
Where pictures of you used to be
And mail with your name on still comes to me
I'm still on the precipice
Of making sense of this
Life without you
There's books of yours still on the shelf
The walls that we painted, I've not changed myself
Your cup is still on the rack
Christmas decorations you bought in the back
There's still so much evidence
I'll never get used to this
Life without you
I never agreed to this
What do I make of this
Life without you
Come on, snap out of it
Let's make a go of this
Life without you.

Prizefighter
04:31
|

It seems you've trouble trying to make your fingers do
what you want them to
A simple thing you took for granted
Back when you'd do what you do
And now it's all gone to shit and you are stuck inside this room
Until the end
Old matches playing on the box
In the corner of the room on a loop
They think it'll make you happy to hear the glory days of your youth
But even if the lights were on
It would just break your heart in two
You've no defence
Oh, Prizefighter
Step up and collect your prize
All we can do is hope you're happy
In your self inflicted state
The scars outside have healed
But all the ones inside carry more weight
We'll change your percutaneous endoscopic gastrosomy
And try not to cry
Oh, Prizefighter
Step up and collect your prize
We can't see anything behind the eyes anymore
You should have listened to us,
That's what our warnings were for
You don't remember the names of your children
Your wife cries when you don't recognise them
Did you ever really think that it was possible
That you would get a second shot at the title
You left your hopes and dreams and aspirations in the ring
To break like one of your bones.

We Come At Night
04:47
|
|||
Hey you
I see your life and I want in
Hey you
I know it's troubled but I promise I can make you give
Into
This perpetual life of sin
And you
won't change a second and you won't regret a single thing
There is something in the dark
It knows you and It loves you
And It wants to give you everything
That you could want
It's only purpose in this life is to make you happy
We're coming out
We know where you all go at night
We want to see the sights
We're coming out
We wanna bathe in all the Neon light
We want to take a bite
There is something in the dark
It knows you and It loves you
And It wants to give you everything
That you could want
It's only purpose in this life is to make you happy
And for this simple gift
It only asks a single thing that you wont even miss
Since you're not using it
While you're indulging in the pleasures
That It loves to give
We're coming out
We know where you all go at night
We want to see the sights
We're coming out
We wanna bathe in all the Neon light
We want to take a bite
Hey you
I see your life and I want in
We're coming out
We know where you all go at night
We want to see the sights
We're coming out
We wanna bathe in all the Neon light
We want to take a bite
WE'RE COMING OUT

Calenture

I've not seen land forever
I've not seen you for years
Current wash me back
Hands blistered by the weather
Eyes blind from saltwater tears
Wind put me on track
Ground around me
I can hear you resound
You will guide me
From the lost to the found
Ground around me
I'll either walk or I'll drown
I see it stretch the horizon
Where I see you beckoning me
Sunlight burn my eyes
This will be the hill I die on
I don't care if it's real
Home is in my sights
Ground around me
Just one step and I'm down
Sirens Sounding
The songs of my home town
Ground around me
I have reached the profound
You call to me
In your arms I will drown.

The "I" in Revolution
03:06
|
|||
You don't know what you're doing
You don't know where all of this goes now
You don't know what you're saying
The consequences will be so loud
Some people back you but the most will fight you on it
And there'll be riots in the cities and towns
You're just a puppet figure
You're only here to move money round
To keep the ones and zeroes
Registering millions to the old crowd
The more you take the more the people will scream about it
And soon there's riots in the cities and towns
You don't know what you're doing
You haven't thought of where this ends now
Only a fool ignores the writing on the wall
When it's scrawled ten miles high
You and your mates will be the first against the wall
You'll be a stain, next to the "I"
In revolution, Baby.
It's revolution, baby

Redo from Start
05:51
|

I can feel you in my circuitry
Like white noise inside my head
A way to pull me through this purgatory
To bring me back from the edge
And so I just don't understand
Why you don't want me
Game over
Redo from start
No par file can repair this broken heart
Game over
Though it's upsetting
It must be restored to it's factory settings
Game Over
Redo from start
I can feel you in these wires
Information in my veins
The sparks of a thousand fires
I wish that you could feel the same
Because no matter how I try
404-CANNOT BE FOUND
Game over
Redo from start
No par file can repair this broken heart
Game over
Though it's upsetting
It must be restored to it's factory settings
Game Over
Redo from start

The Romance Of Leaving
04:45
|
|||
Tonight we go away
Tonight we've said all we can say
Tonight we go our separate ways
Tonight we end our days
It breaks my heart but time will show us the way through
I don't get to make decisions about what you do
Or who you do them with
Tonight we've both said our piece
The resentment Underneath
Tonight's the night that your ship leaves
The tension relieved
We both had to get out of each other's way
Before we simply wasted each of our lives away
We can't be happy if you're unhappy
There's nothing romantic in staying
There's more love in when you leave
If one is unhappy then both of us are unhappy
There's nothing romantic in staying
There's more love in when you leave
There's nothing romantic in staying
There's romance in sadness...
