You're sorry it has to come to this But I'm not falling for that For someone who doesn't want to get into it You're quite articulate Here you stand safe and well Like a civilian and who can tell You held your ground, withstood attack And how come my guy didn’t make it back [Chorus] Everybody's hungry Every day is a test / There is no day of rest I'll be there soon Just hold out your spoon I promise you you're next [Bridge] You tell me that you've emptied the tank Now I hear you’ve got, you've got nothing in the bank Poverty hovers like a spectre I just want a little extra

Break Out Boy 03:26
lyrics

Verse 1: I was a good boy Yes I was Never went out without My coat in winter weather Took flight with the birds of a feather Verse 2: I was a good boy Worked hard for the boss Stayed late on Thursdays, I locked up the shop Opened early Friday when the merchandise was dropped When the good times were over we all got the chop Chorus: All that aside the wall is not so high Break-out boy touch the sky The day is bright, the door is open wide Break-out boy touch the sky Verse 3: No I never went out without my coat I don’t know how but they keep getting my vote I’ll never cry on your shoulder And I’ll draw you close when the nights get colder

War In The South 03:27
lyrics
buy track
We live in the north, the war is in the south People live hand to mouth But you can visit, the war is in the south It’s hard to believe when you see the trees That line our beautiful streets The trains aren't running, don't let that stop you coming The war is in the south We send clothes for distribution We can’t impose an imperfect solution They risk their lives to get out But you can visit, the war is in the south They have very little food but lots of guards They crawl along those hard, hard yards Let them know we tried to help them out The war is in the south And when the lights go out They don’t dare open their mouth But you can visit The war is in the south Time is not the only thing that runs out There can be no doubt Come and see our house The war is in the south. Although the trains aren't running, don't let that stop you coming We’re not in the south Time is not the only thing that runs out We’re not in the south

Dream Somewhere Else 03:56
lyrics
buy track
You want to spend every night Looking into love-struck eyes Making love when you get home The blues screaming on your radio You want to know where your lover is You want pillow talk instead of a quiz You want to believe that you don't have a rival When she looks you in the eye and swears on the bible [Chorus] Dream somewhere else and walk away/why would you stay Live to love another day Love is long gone but you still wear the chains Dream somewhere else and walk away [Bridge] The wolves of love have tasted of you The nuances of love are wasted on you The ghosts of love sleep in your bed The hope of love won't leave your head

There Is A Lifetime 04:51
lyrics
buy track
Ruined by Religion and Reckless Romance Another chance for a first dance Don’t give me words for the wise I want a feast for the eyes Laughing loudly at my latest love letter Labelled me a lazy lover, literally licked your lips I missed the mark and you weren’t giving tips No guarantee, no you and me, no lifetime on your hips [Chorus] Freeze or burn I man the tower There is a lifetime I drag behind Take the first watch secure the perimeter Ritual and habit fills my time On a good day I can see the cusp Coincidence and fortune in these we trust There is a lifetime I drag behind

We Can't Talk 03:36
lyrics
buy track
With your devil’s shoes and your fuck yous Chewing gum and looking for something You’re medicated and dedicated to Sharing your thoughts on a lowercase god You’ve got devil’s shoes and no taboos You were free as a bird now you’re cheap as a word Pick a number between one and ten You don’t have a sword and you don’t have a pen so We can’t talk If we have no word for love Holy clothes and a Jesus pose You’re a love toy, another decoy Sexy new logo and put downs a go-go And sweet thing you know you’re a side show One finger circling in fascination Another on the throbbing pulse of the nation You’ve a song in your head a manifesto that rocks Will you take the money or open the box? We can’t talk If we have no word for love A man walks into a bar and he kneels down to pray No one seen that before, no one knew what to say Business is business so they asked him to stay Now everybody gets to live through god’s last days We can’t talk If we have no word for love

Bread Alone 04:49
lyrics
buy track
You have walked a line unbroken You have held your truth unspoken Heart is heavy, heavy like a stone You’ve been living on bread alone Here’s a room with a bed now, here’s a pillow for your head Here’s arms to hold you when the sky turns red It’s just me and you and we will help each other face No more sound, box in the ground and we’re gone without a trace Gentle be the hand that holds the memory The sweetest sweetness could be lying at your feet Hand in your hand and still no memory Gentle to the touch until we take the hammer to the punch You have walked a line unbroken You have held your truth unspoken Heart is heavy, heavy like a stone You’ve been living on bread alone

The Golden Age Of Everything 04:18
lyrics
I want to grab it by the muzzle and stare down the barrel I want to jump up and down on a burning, god-forsaken planet I want a room with an uninterrupted view of the gallows I want to swim with the sharks far away from the shallows Give me a baptism of fire without the scars or the burns Give me the open road where we both take turns I want a guaranteed supply of fresh, clean water I want the god-given right to marry your daughter Cause it’s the Golden Age of Everything I can’t take it anymore It’s the Golden Age of Everything You can escort me to the door (now) I want to live in the middle of a gated community I want to bed hop and fluid swap till we’ve all got herd immunity I want to experience exhilerance without getting out of bed I want a breath of fresh air when I’m only half dead Do you still wake up in the middle of the night With an irresistible urge to walk towards the light I want to take it in in spades and give it out by the gallon I want to go back stage and hassle the talent It’s the Golden Age of Everything You might already be a winner It’s the Golden Age of Everything You might be the last surviving sinner I'm going outside, I want to howl at the moon I want to cry like a baby when I hear your tune And swoon because soon Me and you, will be screaming at the night, yeah Screaming at the night, yeah

A New Fable Every Day 04:16
lyrics
buy track
I told her I could find a way To make the warring armies play And into every mouth that needs A morsel so that they could feed I told her I could flip her lid She said "Why don't you" - so I did. I told her I could be the one To stay with her till kingdom come Move around her like a gentle breeze That blows between the mountains and the seas I told her I would talk to the kids She said "Why don't you" - so I did. I told her I'm not happy here That everything was too austere The hunger and the cupboard bare The nervous frightened sense of fear I told her I would leave but still She said "Why don't you”, “Why don’t you” A new fable every day (repeat)

Reading This 02:38

Well if you’re reading this baby, we’re already done Now if you’re reading this baby, you know that I wasn’t the one I tried to keep up but you were always on the run And if you’re reading this baby, we’re already done There may be hard times ahead, But they’re not hard yet Now you can kick me when I’m down, But I’m not down yet I’ll miss you when you’re gone, But you’re not gone yet There may be hard times ahead, But they’re not hard yet We had a ball but now there’s not much left I’ll take what I can and you can sell the rest They’ll be a time when the crumbs have to stretch We had a ball but now there’s not much left Well if you’re reading this baby, we’re already done Now if you’re reading this baby, you know that I wasn’t the one I tried to keep up but you were always on the run And if you’re reading this baby, we’re already done Cause you told your family and other rabble That you won me as second prize in a raffle I went looking for a better you and I found me a better me
