Suburban homes
03:50

falling home, like you couldn't need it
falling home, but you never believed it
falling home, now forgettin' is learnin
falling home, feed me codine n' burbon
join the suburban generation
you can live your life today
9 2 5 24 7
little to do, nothing to say
falling home, oh sedate me with TV
falling home, blissful in apathy
falling home, wean me on nestle
fallin home, oh petty bourgeoisie
avoid the looks, donate rejection
fiance yr life with great affection
vote ignorance, subscribe misdirection
we only take the best table
only buy the best label
only want the profit-able
falling home in finest cocktail dress
falling home sweet smell of sucess
falling home from the corby trouser press
falling home swap your knickers for medow cress
join the suburban generation
live your life, half,way
your home is at risk
subject to status your home is at risk

you're playing a game, feeling all just the same, as your heros
you're on through the door, all your thoughts of the score
and how it goes
so deal out the cash and leave with your stash all on tip toes
duck in a spot just to trim what you got, before the shows
Now coming on up it's funny as f**k but then yeah we knows
approaching the top but this train don't stop, there she blows
Now peaking's a mess but yeah its the best, we're the zeros
coming back down to yr old friend the ground, strange mementos
its worse than a curse as then you empty her purse, how easy it goes
puncture a vein to hide from the shame, oh tiny zeros
cover pain & hurt under long sleved shits, still it shows
what began as a laugh turned to a task
oh methadone crows

This Garden Life
02:09
|
|||
Under the apple tree in the garden
Lives a swing that we used to play on
Childhood memories they come back to me
Happier times when we really were free
Love, Love
Life, Life
Time after time I try so much harder
Never seem to get any farther
This earth can be a cruel cruel mother
Cheats and steals like an unfaithful lover
Hate, Hate
Why, Why
But you’ve got to keep on trying
If your not living you’re breathing but dying
Don’t fall into the trap of selfish despair
You won’t find a hand of comfort there
There, Where
Home, Home
Under the apple tree in the garden
Lives a swing that we used to play on
Childhood memories they come back to me
Happier times when we really were free

Riversiding
03:59
|

footpaths down by the river side
sat on the bank where I broke down and cried
flooded with memories of a life that I tried
under the water, is where I will hide
throw yourself in the river boy
you burned down your bridges
cast your best hand down
lilies grow down by the riverside
I asked them for answers only water replied
current carry me, from the folks that have lied
take hold my body, out to sea with the tide
throw yourself in the river boy
you burned down your bridges
cast your best hand down
Footsteps down by the river side
I walk from the bank, all their hate is defied
for love and revenge, a new resolve as my guide
my life and my death
aint for them to decide
They'll throw themselves in the river boy
you'll burn down their bridges
cast their best hand down

Self Abduction Blues
02:30
|
|||
well all the things that i do
well I am not very,
well, at the moment,
I can’t seem to help it
no, I can’t seem to help it
Is it where the heart is?
I don’t know the way
How can I make a,
home when I don’t know it
I’m home when I don’t know it
when I’m feelin’ small
ever so disconnected
wandering through a crowd
feeling self abducted
feeling self abducted
but all the best laid plans
both of mice and man
unravel through my hand
s
is all I ever trusted
its all I ever trust in
n’ I can’t seem to help it
home when I don’t know it
feeling self abducted
is all I’ll ever,
is all I’ll ever trust in

sittin down here on, parchment farm
sittin down her on, parchment farm
sittin down her on, parchment farm
I aint never done no, no, man no harm
I'm pickin cotton in eleven foot sacks
pickin cotton in eleven foot sacks
pickin cotton in eleven foot sacks
with a loaded twelve gauge, at my back
sittin down here on, on number nine
sittin down here on, on number nine
sittin down here on, on number nine
n' all I done was drink my wine
think I'm gonna be hear for
my natural life
think I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life
think I'm gonna be here for the rest of my life
n' all I done was, shoot my, wife
sittin down here on, parchment farm
sittin down her on, parchment farm
sittin down her on, parchment farm
I aint never done no, no, man no harm

Hurt you.
02:57
|
|||
sunlight breaks down,
through our window,
pain
daylight suggests
nothin's gonna be
the same
again all my faults
come back to haunt you
now
the why the where
the who what and the how
I never meant to hurt you
never meant to hurt you like I do
never meant to hurt you
never meant to hurt you like I do
these day we hold together
they mean the world to me
sometimes I get so blinded
so blind I cannot see
and all we've got in this world
is every thing you do
is all I've got to live for
and that's nothin
nothing without you
I never meant to hurt you
never meant to hurt you like I do
never meant to hurt you
never meant to hurt you like I do

So waht.
02:25
|

so what if I needed you
so what if you were true
so what if I hurt you
so what should we do
this living aint easy
but dying 's too hard
this grief it confounds me
its dark
dark where you are
so dark where you are
so what are you thinking
so where will you go
so far when your near me
so hard, to let go
its so hard to let go
so move all the future
my heart bears a scar
I still hold you in me
where ever, ever, ever
where ever, forever you are
so whys it all broken
so where'd it go wrong
so what did I mean to you
so what did you want
so what if we break up
so its all gone wrong
so whats left inside me
just tears and this song
there's tears, for what
what went wrong

No Bodies Perfect
03:00
|
|||
Walking for me,
Talking for me,
There’s things I don’t need you to do,
Catch me when I’m falling,
Hold me when I’m yearning,
These things are all I ask of you,
No bodies perfect,
Please let us not forget,
These things,
That we all must go through,
Dry my eyes and wipe your tears away,
And what I say, comes out all wrong,
and breaks your, dear heart,
maybe if we pray we can make anew,
start again,
No bodies perfect,
Please let us not forget,
These things,
That we all must go through,
Try as we might we just can’t win,
Always give out and never give in,
We’re both the losers,
Why can’t we see,
Why you’re mean to me,
And why I’m mean to you,
And what you mean to me,
No bodies perfect,
Please let us not forget,
These things,
That we all must go through,
Walking for me,
Talking for me,
There’s things I don’t need you to do,
Catch me when I’m falling,
Hold me when I’m yearning,
These things are all I ask of you,

Don’t go to sleep my baby,
Don’t go to sleep on me,
Don’t go to sleep my baby,
Don’t go to sleep on me,
Stay with me my baby,
Stay right here with me,
Stay with me my baby,
Stay right here with me,
Hold on tight my baby,
Hold on tight to me,
Hold on tight my baby,
Please hold on tight for me,
well go to sleep my baby,
go to sleep on me,
so go to sleep my baby,
please go to sleep for me,
Please rest your head now baby,
rest your head upon me,
Please rest your head now baby,
Lay your head upon me,
Well go to sleep my baby,
Go to sleep on me,
Go to sleep my baby,
Please go to sleep for me,
Rest in peace my baby,
Rest in peace go free,
Please rest in peace my baby,
Please rest in peace,
For me.

Little Bird
02:38

be still
little heart
poor wounded bird
all our thoughts are always with you
as you sail on skyward
fly home into loving arms
far away from pain and harm
rest there loved and protected
forever our lucky charm
don't worry
little bird
you'll always be in our hearts
our dreams forever with you
fare well dear heart
farewell dear heart
your touch, our lives so deep
made a family complete
so long, but never forgotten
you live in our every heart beat
be still
little heart
poor wounded bird
all our thoughts always with you
as you sail on skyward
fly home little bird
fly home little bird
fly home little bird
fly home little bird
