Why you being whiny?
Sun is up and shiny
We're gonna be ten times as strong
If you're friends come along
We threw stones at your window then we
Knocked hard on your door
It was a miracle we got to your place
cuz we had never been here before
Upstairs to your bedroom hiding
Underneath the sheets
One of several things that gave you away
was the protrusion of your feet
I know that you're tiring of hearing my silly voice
If the road that you're taking aint making a change
then you gotta make a choice.
Why you being whiny?
Sun is up and shiny
We're gonna be ten times as strong
If you're friends come along
Take what you want
Take what you need
Take aim at everyone oh, but don't take aim at me
We all resist to
different degrees
You're wasting the day blaming everybody else
When you know where the blame should be
I tell you now
I know that you're bristling when listening to my silly voice
If your spirit is breaking, your body is shaking
then you gotta make a choice.
Why you being whiny?
Sun is up and shiny
We're gonna be ten times as strong
If you're friends come along
Why you being whiny?
Sun is up and shiny
We're gonna be ten times as strong
If you're friends come along
We're gonna be ten times as strong
If you're friends come along

As soon as the melody ends
You feel you've been broken up for parts
It's not where you wanna be no
Lift the needle back over to the start
Picking up the pieces
(don't you know)
wrapping up the show
Memory decreases
(don't you know)
every time you go
Heartbreaker heart break away
This adventure's been asking too much of you
Heartbreakaway
Deep inside don't be worried by the answers
Heartbreaker heart break away
Breakaway now there's nothing else left to do
As soon as the cooker bell pings
Dinner's out and it burns your mouth again
We see what another year brings
not a question of if but one of when
Picking up the pieces
(Don't you know)
Have we been deceived
Memory decreases
(Don't you know)
every time we leave
Heartbreaker heart break away
This adventure's been asking too much of you
Heartbreakaway
Deep inside don't be worried by the answers
Heartbreaker heart break away
Breakaway now there's nothing else left to do
Picking up the pieces
(don't you know)
scattered on the road
open up the suitcase
(don't you know)
with the secret code

High Risk
03:49

I think we got a problem
There saying there's a high risk of rain
all we wanted was to come out to play
Everybody saw the broadcast, so it
Seems the lesson's hard to learn
hard to fix
The weather centre now predicts a
High risk of floating away
Where we gonna stay?
High risk of floating away
Where we gonna stay?
A Military solution
Well maybe there's a screw loose above
Searching for his mind in the rough
So see you after school's done
cuz it seems the lesson's hard to learn
hard to fix
The weather centre now predicts a
High risk of floating away
Where we gonna stay?
High risk of floating away
Where we gonna stay?
Hard to learn
Hard to fix
The little ball on top of which we're floating
away
Where we gonna stay?
we're floating
away
Where we gonna stay?
You don't want to die here alone
So where d'you wanna go?
You don't want to die here alone
So where d'you wanna go?
High risk of floating away
Where we gonna stay?
High risk of floating away
Where we gonna stay?

In The Vale
03:46

Found a bed
A Place that felt like home
Down the stairs
Sound of soldiers laying siege to the gates of Rome
I was tired then
Pulse thickening
Bang to rights
Flashing lights discovered me somehow
And the trouble we're in
Means they're gonna win
So I'm hiding out for now.
But I still don't believe that it was destiny to fail
So don't get too wild
While I'm exiled
out here in the vale
twiddle my thumbs
Till justice comes
out here in the vale
The morning sun brightening up my eyes
Time to roam
Creamola foam
and a bag of bacon fries
Kicking dusty ground
head spun around
When hope is gone,
We carry on still hoping it returns.
And the message we hear
That stings in the ears
That the truth is no concern
But I still don't believe that it was destiny to fail
So don't get too wild
While I'm exiled
out here in the vale
twiddle my thumbs
Till justice comes
out here in the vale
Hard to believe it but this is all your getting
To make it right is all you'll ever need.

Lost In Stalingrad
This timing's so bad
And I don't know when I'm doing here
Lost In Stalingrad
Lost in Stalingrad
Found in Volgograd
It's a long round trip for souvenirs
Lost In Stalingrad
In the hills
flying away
Haughty little man
he gets high everyday
In the hills flying away
Lost In Stalingrad
This timing's so bad
And I wish I'd never wrote the words
Lost In Stalingrad
Lost in Stalingrad
Under Motherland calls
On the hilltop looking to the west
I see nothing at all
In the hills
flying away
Haughty little man
he gets high everyday
In the hills flying away
And I'm going home now back to America
Wait what's some one done with America
I swear this used to be America
In the hills
flying away
Haughty little man
he gets high everyday
In the hills
In the hills
In the hills
And I'm going home now back to America
going home now back to America
going home now.

Hardcore
Nobody understood a single word you said but then they loved you so much
Loved you so much back then
Struggling daily to be courteous was giving you the bends
Couldn’t believe it when the kids all followed suit and loved you ever so much
Ever so much again
This city’s got a funny way of making enemies of friends
Prepared the contract, kept the master, kept the publishing mechanical sync
What did you think we’d do?
Don’t worry 50 years or so the ownership is back with you.
Gonna buy them all up til nothing remains
Even fresh air above, to the victor go the spoils again
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Gonna lock you up no doubt about it
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Da da da daaaaa, daa daa daa
A shitty business, cruel and shallow money trench that we all wanna dive in
Headfirst into and swim
Through all the sharks and out the pool across the finish line to bed
Boys from the streets, and girls in a crowd
The camera loves you, take your shirt off and you’ll make us proud
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Gonna lock you up no doubt about it
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Da da da daaaaa
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Maybe you should write a song about it?
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Da da da daaaaa
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Maybe you should write a song about it?
It’s just another piece of hardcore money in the bank
Da da da daaaaa

Bouncing Down The Road

I feel something
Bouncing down the road
Big wheels coming
Bouncing down the road
Sky flowed
Heavy Load
Trees bowed
Heavy load
It's bounce
Bouncing down the road
It's tough over there
Making me feel those big wheels are everywhere
Oh yeah
I feel something
Big Wheels coming
(Big wheels)
Sky flowed
Heavy Load
Trees bowed
Heavy load
There's a hole over there
people flown in from everywhere
Getting colder as boots and shoes get wetter
No movement today
There's got be a better game to play
We can all do it all do it better
It's tough over there
Making me feel those big wheels are everywhere
Oh yeah
I feel something bouncing.....
Big wheels coming......
Sky flowed
Heavy Load
Trees bowed
Heavy load
There's a hole over there
(It's tough over there)
Big Wheels
Bouncing down the road

Once more
generational testing of mettle
there are fevers to blame
Neighbours
sat alone nursing broken hearts
only feet apart
Here's where it ends
They no longer pretend to be beckoning
cuz now you're becoming so
Cheap as the drink that's been flowing
Cheap as the cash we've been blowing
Always remember home
Pictures
on the walls with no stares to give meaning
To the strokes that dried in
Hedgerows
growing wild with no end in sight
Now is the time
to remember the lines
you promised to learn
before you burnt
and now your becoming so
Cheap as the house's we live in
Cheap as advice we've been given
Always remember home
Always remember home
you promised to learn
before you burnt
and now your becoming so
Cheap as the drink that's been flowing
Cheap as the cash we've been blowing
Always remember home
Always remember what's coming
Cheap as these strings that I'm strumming
Always remember home
Always remember home

Stash It Away
03:35
|
|||
|
Try to imagine your floating off the floor
In a secret bunker your seeing things nobodies seen before
Still blowing the roofs off just to win another war
Is it any wonder your scrambling while you still can out the backstage door
Stash it away
Got to give got to help the others
Stash it away
What is it gonna take yeah
Stash it away
Got to give got to help the others
Stash it away
yay yay yay
A library comes crashing to the floor
History erased in the name of evening the score
They're spouting the lines out like the good guys win again
well if that's the truth I don't want to win or to be one of them
Stash it away
Got to give got to help the others
Stash it away
What is it gonna take yeah
Stash it away
Got to give got to help the others
Stash it away
yay yay yay
All the text books written by the winners
History a fable agreed upon over dinner
forgotten forever because you lost the fight
doesn't matter if you told the truth or how hard that you tried

I remember what went wrong
Do you remember?
Doesn't feel too long ago
Coming back home across the sleeve
We were wearing summer clothes
Do you remember?
All the way to Summercoates
In the van with the hot blue seats
Sick of the taste
wash your mouth
I watched the heads turning
I smelled the coal burning
I heard the sound of people singing out that lasted forever.
I remember what went wrong
Do you remember?
When we lost it all
Now the time has come to be free
Conjuring up problems
Into a tissue
Well I hope they realise
How much we'll miss you
Sick of the taste
wash your mouth
I watched the heads turning
I smelled the coal burning
I stumbled down and asked the audience to sing it louder
I sensed the room turning
I saw his face gurning
I heard the sound of people singing out that lasted forever.

If you can rely on those who suck and bite your toes
you're gonna be another big someone
Bore us all again with tales of how
gonna be a big wheel someday
all around the blessed sound
believe me you don't mess him around for
The opportunity to make us laugh
Because of Terry Bueno
The opportunity to build it fast
( Build it up and build it fast)
Because of Terry Bueno
Stay out till sunrise
see life through the cat's eyes with me
all around the blessed sound
believe me you don't mess him around for
The opportunity to make us laugh
Because of Terry Bueno
The opportunity to build it fast
Build it up and build it fast
Because of Terry Bueno
Who lights the sunrise
sees life through the cats eyes
embellish the sun
Bueno's the one
who'll paint the pig sties
bring life back to franchises
long dead and gone
Bueno's the one
who'll fight through long flights
to bring us the big fights
we're all banking on
Buenos the one

Bamburgh Beach, Bamburgh Beach
I'll be there to breathe your air in just one week
The truth we seek, we should never be frightened of
we were born to love
Bamburgh Beach
Dig down into the tunes and you may find
Childrens gold from 30 years ago left behind
Hermits and Monks watch over from their tombs
little sticks to serve you as a map
to the cherished barbour caps
Bamburgh Beach, Bamburgh Beach
I'll be there to breathe your air in just one week
The truth we seek, we should never be frightened of
we were born to love
Bamburgh Beach
Verses should squeeze with ease from out of you
40 years now this has been a place I've been coming to
Why's it so tough to write down where I've been?
Many dared with seemingly no care
I'm an imposter everywhere
Bamburgh Beach, Bamburgh Beach
I'll be there to breathe your air in just one week
The words we speak, we should never be frightened of
we were born to love
Bamburgh Beach
Pigeon to a dove
Bamburgh Beach Oooooooooh
