Whatever Happened to the Fingertipsaint? 04:33
lyrics
Last time I saw him he was looking alright Stuck in a one eyed town, begging for light Eating the afterlife bite after bite (and he says) You cannot nail down that which will not be nailed (and he says) You cannot derail that which will shall not be railed (and he says) You cannot buy someone unless they're for sale He's wearing black cat skin, bifocal and lace Boa constrictor belt is wrapped around his waist But no-one seems to know where he is of late He's alright, he's out of sight He got a two tone fake electronic flute He live on chick pea marijuana and fruit Controls the sun with the tap of his foot He's got it coming to him, every last cut He's got his monkey he going to make it ok

I Don't Know Any Better 04:57
lyrics
Her name was K I could have stayed all day I hear she's gone away I hear she's in New York now I know that road I live in hope That I will see her again 'Though neither of us could cope But I, I don't know any better I need to leave I need to breathe I can't stay here no more I know you've heard that before You're going to hear it again Because you're my friend You'll simply smile and say We'll try and find a way And I, I don't know any better

Punk Rock 07:36
lyrics
Oh the sadness of us all Weeping willow, friendly fire I'm confused I'm confused in my shoes, what is right, what is wrong I don't know any more But I know this could be what we want it to be If we tried some more Weeping willow, friendly fire Weeping willow, paper tiger As the hour binds the day I place a marker 'Not for Sale' Empathise Or advertise all the lies, fuck your friends Your own ends are worth so much more And I don't want to be what you want me to be That's not what I'm here for Weeping willow, friendly fire Weeping willow, money spider Did you hear about Pink? She shaved her minky And if you could stoop that low You'd see the Pepsi logo Have you heard U2? Well, they're better than you And if they say buy, don't ask why

Ocean 05:43
lyrics
Windowsill Weighed down by mortgage and bills Searching for a raindrop in the ocean Closing time Did we find what we set out to find? Searching for a raindrop in the ocean All my life Searching for a raindrop in the ocean

European Man 02:37
lyrics
Pale as the days that slip beneath my feet I was born and raised upon European streets I do not bow to the Nikkei Dow I do not follow the shekel or the dollar I hug all my friends and I drink 'till I'm sick I've always got a plan I'm a European man Living in the ruins of a thousand years Fighting with my mind Coping with my fear I don't need a gun or a Samurai I don't use religion as an alibi I hug all my friends and I drunk until I'm sick I think before I shoot I'm a European man.

It's What We Make It 04:49
lyrics
Baby I don't know what's wrong I know I haven't been on song But I loves ya So let's thaw out this freeze This town has brought me to my knees But I luvs ya I feel it now I know that I have been so down So Let's stop messing around 'Cos I luvs ya I hold you in my arms at night Even when we turn out the light I luvs ya I feel it now
7.
Oh You 04:33
lyrics
Two monkeys in space remnants of their race Animal, just like all the rest 'Ooh Ooh I love you" Says monkey 1 to monkey 2 And their hearts, synchronised, skipped a beat In the heat of the moment Oh you and the things you do to me Honey for a bee Everything is right where it belongs Incompatible signs Is it yours or is it mine And the cat sits there at the bottom of the stair all night Oh you and the things you do to me Everything I need This song I sing is a spell that will keep us together

Jerusalem (feat Akira The Don) 04:48
lyrics
There's no choice when there's only one outcome There's no discussion when there's only one voice And the world is lurching so far right I fall out of bed at night The darkness develops, envelopes and snares Live fat, die young Love songs, unsung Jerusalem I dreamt I was a butterfly I knew not that I was I And nothing save the day could bother me A butterfly dreamt she was me And she knew not that she was she Life is a dream if you can stay awake
