Lyrics

Anything For Sure

It seems like only yesterday
That I became a man
Ignorance and innocence
Both went hand in hand

And now Im none the wiser
But I know so much more
The only thing Im certain of
Is nothing is for sure

No one knows
Anything for sure

If I could go back in time
And meet my younger self
I wonder what hed say to me
The tales hed have to tell

Would he see himself in me
Could he catch just a trace
Or have I changed so much
That all my atoms are replaced

No one knows
Anything for sure

Serendipity

Hey, nothing's perfect
There's nothing faultless
In every diamond at its heart lies a flaw
In imperfection
You will find beauty
A kind of purity we all hanker for

I'm not searching for perfection
I'm looking for a beautiful mistake
And I'm not searching for the lost chord
I'm looking for a beautiful mistake

Just when you least expect it
The glass you hold in your hand falls apart
You spill its contents to the carpet
The shape it makes it lights a spark

And I'm not searching for perfection
I'm looking for a beautiful mistake
And I'm not searching for the lost chord
I'm looking for a beautiful mistake

And I'm not searching for perfection
I'm looking for a beautiful mistake
And I'm not searching for the lost chord
I'm looking for a beautiful mistake
Hey, I just want some inspiration
I'm looking for a beautiful mistake
Be an overnight sensation
Looking for a beautiful mistake

Beautiful Land

I'm off to the country
To find peace of mind
Get lost in the elements
Spend all my time
With my nearest and dearest
All close at hand
We're off to the country
Our beautiful land

In our beautiful land
Beautiful land
Come take my hand
In our beautiful land

I'm off to the country
I need to get back
To something that's simple
So I can keep track
Get things in perspective
So I can reflect
On all that's good
And all that's best

In our beautiful land
Beautiful land
Come take my hand
In our beautiful land

I'm off to the country
To recharge renew
I look all around me
I take in the view
And you are beside me
You see it all too
Out here in the country
Just me and you

In our beautiful land
Beautiful land
Come take my hand
In our beautiful land

I'm off to the country

Black Still Water

It's my reflection on the black still water
Out of focus, changing shape
Oh so deep, the black still water
What stirs below, what lays beneath?

The light reflects its patterns shifting
Raindrops ripple breaking the surface
The violent serenity as the sun scars the landscape
The sound of day breaks, the silence has gone

It's my reflection on the black still water
Out of focus, changing shape
Oh so deep, the black still water
What stirs below, what lays beneath?

Exposed to the elements
The wind cuts its way
Brings a chill to this soul
Someone to hold me is all that I need
The warmth of another, no more no less

Lost in reflection on the black still water
Out of focus, changing shape
Oh so deep, the black still water
What stirs below, what lays beneath?
Someone to hold me is all that I need
Someone to hold me is all that I need
Someone to hold me is all that I need

Where Do We Go From Here?

Where do we go from here?
Where do we go from here?

We thought the world was flat
We were wrong... so wrong
We thought the sun went 'round us
But it's the... other way round
We thought that god would guide us
And show us the light
But then we heard the big bang
There is no afterlife

Where do we go from here? I've no idea
Where do we go from here? I just don't know
Where do we go from here? Take my hand dear
Where do we go from here? Here we go

Is there any reason
Seems it's all down to chance
The odds are infinitesimal
Come on baby please let's dance
Being here with you right now
Is a zillion to one
So get on your party dress
Lets go out... have some fun

Where do we go from here? To a restaurant
Where do we go from here? To the seaside
Where do we go from here? To a movie
Where do we go from here? Stay at my side

You only get one shot at life
So grab it... with both hands
Be the best you can be
Spread love... where you can
We've got our lives in front of us
We can go... hand in hand
We'll see what tomorrow brings
Have you made... any plans

Where do we go from here? You and me girl
Where do we go from here? Anywhere
Where do we go from here? Where you want to
Where do we go from here? I don't care
Where do we go from here? You and me girl
Where do we go from here? Anywhere
Where do we go from here? Where you want to
Where do we go from here? I don't care

Kicking The Habit

You cut me up on the inside
Drive me out of my mind
It's not a bad dream
This is my life
Well I'm putting the breaks on
This has got to stop
All this heavy death metal
I need some bubblegum pop
Well I'm changing the gears now
Going into reverse
I'm kicking the habit
Kicking the habit
Kicking the dirt
Kicking the habit
Kicking the dirt
Keeping my head down
Outta the way
Keeping my head down
For another day

Well I try to stay neutral
In the freewheeling tense
Yeah, I have an opinion
But I just sit on the fence
Kicking the habit
Kicking the dirt
Kicking the habit
Kicking the dirt
Keeping my head down
Outta the way
Keeping my head down
For another day
What I'm trying to say
Is I don't know
What I'm trying to sing
I just don't know
Kicking the habit
Kicking the dirt
Keeping my head down

Kicking the habit
Kicking the dirt
Keeping my head down

Kicking the habit
Kicking the dirt
Keeping my head down
Keeping my head down
Keeping my head down

Riot of Dock Green

It's a perfect day for provoking a riot
If you're on the streets you're involved even if you're quiet
We won't smile for the camera our numbers are removed
We've got a government mandate to beat you black and blue

We're gonna crack a few skulls
To uphold the law
And if you don't disperse
We're gonna crack some more

Beneath this body armour lies a heart of stone
When you're bleeding in the back of the van you'll wish you stayed at home
We joined up for the ruck we love it when one goes down
Don't ever think that we serve you cos we only serve ourselves

We're gonna crack a few skulls
To uphold the law
And if you don't disperse
We're gonna crack some more

Damaged Goods

You see him every other day
You do your best to keep out his way
He asks for ten he says for food
You know its not he's damaged goods

Shouts & swears curses the gods
But sings for children and for dogs
To everyone else he is rude
You know its coz he's damaged goods
Damaged goods

So off he goes to buy more beer
Extra strength for festive cheer
He likes to drink it in the woods
With all the other damaged goods
Damaged goods

What was the path that led him here
Couldn't he find solace in one beer
Don't think he'll see another year
It won't be long till christmas is here
Damaged goods

He had the world at his fingertips
Sleeps every night in a skip
Damaged goods
Damaged goods

Northern Soulfood

Me mam's popped out to bingo
So why dont you come round
She's made homemade rice pudding
There's lots to go around
And I bought some juicy saveloys
From Lidls for a pound
So get some crisps and HP Sauce
From shop at underground

Oooh I love you baby
I want to eat you up
Your kiss tastes just like lager
Wi lemonade top
I've got me bib n braces
So i won't mess me shirt
When I go down for afters
'neath your pleated skirt

I've got some honeyed yoghurt
And beetroot in the fridge
And dandelion and burdock
With some lemon ....just a twist
And two big toffee apples
The size o my da's fist
And a big bag of pork scratching
I think we'll have them first

Oooh I love you baby
I want to eat you up
Your kiss tastes just like lager
Wi lemonade top
I've got me bib n braces
So I wont mess me shirt
When I go down for afters
'neath your pleated skirt

Oh no..........there's nothing in the fridge
Me sister's got there earlier
I'm gonna kill the bitch
My lovely juicy saveloys
She hasn't left a bit
And those two toffee apples
She's even ate the sticks
Oh no..........there's nothing in the fridge
Me sister's got there earlier
I'm gonna kill that bitch

Is that you darling
Did you get the crisps
Give 'em over here
Yeah
The HP Sauce too
That's lovely
Yeah

You Can't Say That on the Radio

You choose your words
With stealth and care
You know their power
They are dangerous

You can't say that on the radio
No not today
You can't say that on the radio
It's not okay

They say much more
Than the letters contained
Their connotations
They will always change

You can't say that on the radio
No not today
You can't say that on the radio
It's not okay

Take it away, Mike

You can't say that on the radio
No not today
You can't say that on the radio
It's not okay
You can't say that on the radio
No not today
You can't say that on the radio
It's not okay
No not today
It's not okay
No not today
It's not okay

Shoegazing

It don't impress me
Coz i've seen it all before
There's nothing you can do
To turn me on

So don't even bother
Rocking rolling
So don't even bother
Showing emotion

There's nothing excites me
I'm always bored
Well i've scaled the heights
And it's not all it's cracked up to be

So don't even bother
Coming calling
So don't even bother
Coming calling
So don't even bother
Rocking rolling
So don't even bother
Showing emotion

There's nothing that moves me
I'm always dressed in black
My arms are folded
I'm standing at the back

I'm just shoegazing
That's what I do
I'm just shoegazing
Hey don't I look cool

So don't even bother
Rocking rolling
So don't even bother
Showing emotion
So don't even bother
Coming calling
So don't even bother trying trying
I'm just shoegazing it's what I was born to do
I'm just shoegazing staring straight through you

Home

Thank god it's Friday
And the weekend is here
Just like grease lightning
I'm straight out of here
You won't see me for the paper and dust
That I leave in my wake

Home
That's where I'm going
Into the arms of the one I adore
Home
That's where I'm heading
The only place I want to be right now

I've got my ticket
And I might just get a seat
If I move quickly if I'm fast on my feet
You won't see me for the paper and dust
That I leave in my wake

Home
That's where I'm going
Into the arms of the one I adore
Home
That's where I'm heading
The only place I want to be right now

Home
That's where I'm going
Home
That's where I'm heading
I'm coming home
The only place I want to be

Home
That's where I'm going
Into the arms of the one I adore
Home
That's where I'm heading
The only place I want to be right now


I'm coming home
I'm coming home

Shave It Off!

There's a girl
She lives across the road from me
Yeah she's quite nice
And I like her a lot
But I don't know what to say
Or how to raise the matter
With all that facial hair she looks just like Frank Zappa

Shave it off ………etc


When we kiss
Yeah it's kind of tickly
I'm not sure if it's nice or sickening
But I don't know what to say
Or how to raise the matter
With all that facial hair she looks just like Frank Zappa

Shave it off ………etc
But I don't know what to say
Or how to raise the matter
With all that facial hair she looks just like Zappata

Shave it off ………etc
