A Life Worth Living
When you don't see a life worth living
When you don't see the point of anything at all
In the end all the games that you've played make it harder to fall
So you really want to do this now
So you really want to rake it up once more
Breaking promises again like you think you never did before
We're so bored, bored, bored
Of the same old score
You can say what you want, we’re never gonna trust you now
You're out, you're out, it's over
Say what you want, we’re never gonna trust you now
You're out, you're out, it's over
You always said it was cool to be kind
And yes it seemed like a great idea at the time
But you felt kinda flat when we saw it meant nothing to you
We're so bored, bored, bored of the same old score
You can say what you want
We are never gonna trust you now
You're out, you're out, it's over
Say what you want
We are never gonna trust you now
You're out, you're out, it's over
Don't you wanna have a life again?
Don't you want to see your future begin?
Is your only ambition a weekend in oblivion?
You can say what you want, we're never gonna trust you now
You're out, you're out, it's over
Say what you want, we're never gonna trust you now
You're out, you're out, you're out, you're out
Oh you can say what you want
We're never gonna trust you now
You're out, you're out, it's over now
You're out, you're out, it's all over now
Now you're out, you're out, you're out (it's a life worth living)
Now you're out, you're out, it's over (it's a life worth living)
Now you're out, you're out (it's life worth living)
All The Difference
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference
Between feeding a hunger and feeding a greed
Between planting a flower and sowing a seed
Between repaying a favour and repaying a debt
Between something remembered and you never forget
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference
Between wanting to live and living the dream
Between reading the headline and hearing the scream
Between wanting so much and having enough
Between falling for a pretty face and falling in love
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference
So you travelled the world, did you ever arrive?
And are you merely surviving or feeling alive?
Are you building a mansion or making a home?
Are you at one with yourself or the one on your own?
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference in the world
There's all the difference in the world
And We Can
You could resign yourself to it
Let your heart beat or nail yourself to a cross
Watching the world with one eye open
Put a little bit away and keep waiting for the day
It’s alright
You don’t have to fight it
(well) let’s enjoy it while we can
Let’s enjoy it while we can
And we can
It’s all in our hands no need to fill your head up
With any pretty stories for which there is no proof
You could follow in your father’s footsteps
Or get yourself a story written in a book
It’s alright
You don’t have to fight it
Can you feel it?
(well) let’s enjoy it while we can
Let’s enjoy it while we can
And we can
And we can
And we can
Big Idea
Something peculiar has taken place
I think I've fallen out with the whole human race
I'm suspicious of your newly found best friend
Whose eyebrows clearly meet where they really ought to end
So tell me what's the big idea?
You turned the corner without me
Are you beginning to seriously doubt me?
Isn't it convenient how your explanation tends
To be as fathomless as to leave me with the bends
So tell me, what's the big idea?
You've been hearing voices
You didn't listen to a word I said
Stop making unsuitable choices
Turn off the telly turn me on instead
I've always done my best by you
I may be making five from two plus two
But you're convinced that it's me that makes amends
It's not as if your well being upon which all life depends
And I'm still suspicious of your newly found best friend
So tell me what's the big idea?
What’s the big idea?
What’s the big idea?
What’s the big idea?
What’s the big idea?
Bring It Back
Walking a street that I used to know
Same old names lined up in a row
My memory turns to the days of old
Then it hits my eyes and my blood runs cold
Bring it back, bring it back to me
Shernoff, Wes, DiNizio
Bring it back
So many colours that all taste the same
Brittle kids bones and mess with the brain
Sugar sweet shell shrouds what's inside
But there's only one thing here money to hide
Bring it back, bring it back to me
Shernoff, Wes, DiNizio
Bring it back
I remember back in the day
I loved you more than I could say
The life giving blood to every concert hall
Eaten alive by divide and rule
Bring it back, bring it back to me
Shernoff, Wes, DiNizio
Bring it back
Done & Dusted
Too many cigarettes are floating in the ashtray
Overhead supersonic jets but not one going my way
I need to catch the sun I need a toke of fresh air
I know what’s done is done got the t-shirt and I’ve been there
And I feel my soul like a splinter
Like a breath of spring
Come on let’s do this thing
Like religion you’re aching to please
It’s done and dusted
So get off your knees
First thing in the morning I’m cold Turkey for the caffeine
I heeded the warning and kept my dirty heels clean
Not known at this address so take your foot out my door
You want more? You want more? I’ll give you less of a high to die for
And I feel my soul like a splinter
Like a breath of spring
Come on let’s do this thing
Like religion you’re aching to please
It’s done and dusted
So get off your knees
Get off your knees (x3)
Speaking in tongues he’ll entertain
You will get such a thrill
Every single line has something inbetween
And a look that kills
And I feel my soul like a splinter
Like a breath of spring
Come on let’s do this thing
Like religion you’re aching to please
It’s done and dusted
So get off your knees
Get off your knees (x3)
Edna
Edna puts on her hat and she travels to town
The forecast is rain and Edna fears she might drown
An extremely polite young man stops her in the street
Before she knows she's signed up to stop murdering meat
She's very confused, so many unfamiliar faces
But at least she gets to visit quite a lot of new places
Her meals are delivered to the door piping hot
And Jeremy Kyle proved that man did when he said he did not
Edna wishes she could remember
Exactly what she did with her hat
The spring cleaning gets started later and later and later
What would Ray have to say about that?
Her son, he comes over now and then, he's so busy
He seems to know a lot about her family, but who is he?
On the daytrip organised by the local age concern
All she did was fret ‘the oven oh my God the house will burn’
Edna sits at the window all the passers-by wave
She's five minutes from the mainline, not much further from the grave
Her husband works hard she found a goodun in Ray
He's home late this evening oh my god he passed away!
Edna wishes she could remember
Exactly what she did with her hat
The spring cleaning gets started later and later and later
What would Ray have to say about that?
What would Ray have to say about that?
What would Ray have to say about that?
God Just Made You That Way
Here he comes again
He's taking over
Everything's wrong again
And I know I'm gonna lose
He’s digging me out again
Intoxicated
Dragging me down again
Like a beggar I can't choose
(You) You're so perfect
(Me) I know that I'll never be happy
(You) You’re so perfect
I guess God just made you that way
Killing the vibe again
Without even speaking
Shredding my nerves again
And I know it’s time to move
(You) You're so perfect
(Me) I know that I'll never be happy
(You) You’re so perfect
I guess God just made you that way
God just made you that way
God just made you that way
God just made you that way
(You) You're so perfect
(Me) I know that I'll never be happy
(You) You’re so perfect
I guess God just made you that way
God just made you that way
God just made you that way
God just made you that way
It's Not Me
It's not me, it's you
All the trouble you put me through
It's not me, it's you
Don't try to blame me for the things that you do
It's always the same
Why do you lock me out again and again?
Make me feel like I've done something wrong
You got me thinking that I'm losing the plot
It's not me, it's you
All the trouble you put me through
It's not me, it's you
Don't try to blame me for the things that you do
Don't try to blame me for the things that you do
This just won’t run
I wanna go back to the simple one
An early version where we both would fit
Another time before this updated shit
It's not me, it's you
All the trouble you put me through
It's not me, it's you
Don't try to blame me for the things that you do
Don't try to blame me for the things that you do you do you do
It's always the same
You had it right and then you ruined it again
Why make it worse when we’re right at the top?
Then tell me I'm the one who fucked it all up
It's not me, it's you
All the trouble you put me through
It's not me, it's you
Don't try to blame me for the things that you do
Don't try to blame me for the things that you do you do you do
(That you do, That you do, That you do, That you do)
No Promises No Regrets
I found a song like you’d find a stray dog
A new contender for the back catalogue
Let’s see what I get, from the tears and the sweat
No promises no regrets
I’ll feed it well and give it a home
Give it water and let it grow
These thoughts that I share, to do is to dare
No promises no regrets
Oooooh here’s it comes
Oooooh I can hear drums
There’s no living in writing tunes
It’s just something I do in the afternoons
I strive every day, then give them away
No promises no regrets
Oooooh I can’t stop
Oooooh let’s take it from the top
Put It Right
She went to the doctor with a bee in her bonnet
But he couldn't take it out'cause her boyfriend was already on it
So she went to Bluewater like a lamb to the slaughter
Cleaned out their account in spite
That was the night that he finally decided that he was just her satellite
If only they'd talk
If only they'd talk
If only they'd talk
Maybe they'd put it right
He sat through the stage play it was like watching paint dry
For nearly two hours she sat there with a tear in each eye
Not grasping the meaning like Eddie Munch screaming
He applauded then ran for his life
Boy is she gonna turn out a tidy bundle of trouble and strife
If only they'd talk
If only they'd talk
If only they'd talk
maybe they'd put it right
Maybe they'd put it right
He should be honest, but he doesn't quite have it in him
Although he is in two minds he wants to be one of the women
What kind of man goes out dressed for the evening to come home in woman's clothes
If she okay’s the boob job he'll get himself a new job and buy her a brand new nose
If only they'd talk
If only they'd talk
If only they'd talk
Maybe they'd put it right
Maybe they'd put it right
Maybe they'd put it right
Summertime Blues
You were caught off guard when he caught your eye
Tied the knot & got kicks inside
Lost your mother tongue
As he climbed from the bottom rung
So wash the dishes in the sink
And pour another drink
Oh yeah oh yeah
Caroline sings the news
"There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues"
Oh yeah oh yeah
He promised the sun but you got the moon
Left to hold the fort and the feeding spoon
Outdoors it’s fine
But it’s pouring down inside
So wash the dishes in the sink
And pour another drink
Oh yeah oh yeah
Caroline sings the news
"There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues"
Oh yeah oh yeah
If you could use your mind
You'd leave it all behind
So smash the dishes in the sink
And pour another drink
Oh yeah oh yeah
Caroline sings the news
"There ain’t no cure for the summertime blues"
Oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
Superhuman
I'm one in a million
Some would say maybe ever so slightly unique
If I threatened to kill you
Does it give you the right to call me a freak?
But you don't need my reasons
To wrap your head around and go
You'd never believe it
But I'm superhuman
It's something that's in me
I'm superhuman
What the hell were you thinking?
When you put your little heart in my hands
While the vessel was sinking
You were drowning, I stood and watched from the sand
Remember my self-style thinking
When I go down in history
You'd never believe it
But I'm superhuman
It's something that's in me
I'm superhuman
Superhuman, superhuman
So go on, tell me, should I stop or go?
While the vessel was sinking
You were drowning, I stood and I watched from the sand
But you don't need my reasons
To wrap your head around and go
You'd never believe it
But I'm superhuman
It's something that's in me and I'm superhuman
You'll never replace me, superhuman
I'm one in a million and I'm superhuman
No, you'll never believe it
Superhuman, superhuman
Who Knew
I found one pound in the trolley at the car park
At my local supermarket
I gave that one pound to a busker at the station
‘Cause they were singing Californication
Who knew life could be so good
Who knew life could be so good
I found five pounds in the pocket of my raincoat
At the back of the wardrobe and
I put that five pounds in the paper cup of a homeless man
He told me this as he touched my hand
He said, "Who knew life could be so good?
Who knew life could be so good?"
Because God knows sometimes
It don't treat you like it should
Treat you like it should
Don't worry if there's no lining in that cloud
Looking from their ivory tower
It's easy to say you make your own luck in this world
I found myself
I was travelling on the wrong track
Didn't think I could find my way back
Always looking in the wrong direction
It's the journey not the destination
Who knew life could be so good?
(Life could be so good, life could be so good)
Who knew life could be so good?
Because God knows sometimes
It don't treat you like it should
Who knew life could be so good?
Who knew life could be so good?
Because God knows sometimes
It don't treat you like it should
Treat you like it should
Treat you like it should
Life could be so good
Treat you like it should
Life could be so good
