Track Lyrics
Jerk Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Yesterday, while feeling down, I called you on the phone
Instead of being warm, you seemed so cold
Was it something that I said, or something on your mind?
No matter what it was, we had a row
[Chorus]
Believe me, I'm sorry, I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
Forgive me, I beg you, you know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go
[Verse 2]
It was my fault, you're not to blame, it's me who's in the wrong
That's why I wrote this song, just to explain
Accept my apology, it comes straight from my heart
Let's put it all behind us, and move on
[Chorus]
Believe me, I'm sorry, I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
Forgive me, I beg you, you know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Believe me, I'm sorry, I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
Forgive me, I beg you, you know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go
Believe me, I'm sorry, I never meant to argue
I'm a jerk, you're right to tell me so
Forgive me, I beg you, you know I only love you
Wish I hadn't told you where to go
Keep On Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There's no two ways about it, there's nothing left to say
If you'd only paid attention, then things wouldn't be this way
Crazy paved with good intentions is the rut that you're stuck in
So that all that's left to fear is the enemy within
[Chorus 1]
Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
[Verse 2]
Spare me your hypocrisy, I haven't got the time
For unreasonable reason's more a punishment than crime
We all can take cold comfort, now the writing's on the wall
But the pill that's left to swallow is the bitterest of all
[Chorus 1]
Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
[Post-Chorus]
One more Pyrrhic victory, another dodgy deal
[Chorus 1]
Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
One more Pyrrhic victory, another dodgy deal
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
One more Pyrrhic victory, another dodgy deal
[Outro]
Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion, it's all a wind-up
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion, it's all a wind-up
Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion, it's all a wind-up
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion, it's all a wind-up
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
Don't jump to confusion, it's all a wind-up
Suffer from a little depression, baby
Gotta tell the world what you feel
Don't jump to confusion, it's all a wind-up
Nothing wrong with self-expression, baby
Keep on keeping it real
Wake Up Call Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, you live in a dream, life's not what it seems
This is the time for your wake up call
No sense of being, no way of seeing
This is the time for your wake up call
[Hook]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Verse 2]
On that ice, you swerve, well, you got a nerve
This is the time for your wake up call
When you're living a lie, can't see eye to eye
This is the time for your wake up call
[Hook]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Bridge]
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, what were you thinking of?
Tell me, tell me, tell me
Tell me, what were you thinking of?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
No cause for alarm, it can't do you no harm
This is the time for your wake up call
So you walk in your sleep, all those dreams, you can keep
This is the time for your wake up call
[Hook]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Friends Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well, I've been up all night, couldn't get to dream at all
Trying hard not to make a decision
You know, it doesn't seem right when your back's to the wall
To be accused of sensationalism
But the way things are going, wouldn't be at all surprised
If a song that I liked won the next Eurovision
[Chorus 1]
I turn around, and it all looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
[Verse 2]
It's a mixed-up world, these are mixed-up times
And the recipe of life's mixed-up too
But it's the quality of the ingredients that matter
I award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking that you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you
[Chorus 2]
I turn around, but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
[Post-Chorus]
You know, I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus 2]
I turn around, but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
[Post-Chorus]
You know, I've often wondered
If what you're telling me is true
But I know that I can make it
If I have my friends to see me through
[Verse 3]
It's a mixed-up world, these are mixed-up times
And the recipe of life's mixed-up too
But it's the quality of the ingredients that matter
I award myself a cordon bleu
But I can't help thinking that you wouldn't understand
Unless I did a lot of explaining to you
[Chorus 2]
I turn around, but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
I turn around, but it still looks the same
I don't even know if I'll ever be loved again
The only thing I can rely on is change
Morning After Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Sun streams through the window, it's another day
I lie in bed, nursing my hangover
Couldn't stomach breakfast, I feel like throwing up
[Hook]
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
[Verse 2]
The switch to double Brandies was a big mistake
Now my mouth tastes like the bottom of a birdcage
It's nature's way of telling me that I had better stop
[Hook]
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
[Guitar Solo]
[Hook]
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Wake up, and face the morning after
Sick City Sometimes Lyrics
[Verse 1]
When you don't know who you are
And you're walking with a scar
In the places that are breaking down your mind
It's a complicated day
Busy people on their way
Mirrored buildings reflecting in your eyes
[Chorus]
Sick city sometimes, sick city, in your mind
Sick city sometimes, sick city, left you way behind
[Verse 2]
Through the paper and the trash
All the needles, and the cash
Side by side with the man in the big car
Then, it turns the dead of night
And you get into a fight
And the blades run down your back, like superstars
[Chorus]
Sick city sometimes, sick city, in your mind
Sick city sometimes, sick city, left you way behind
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Sick city sometimes, sick city, in your mind
Sick city sometimes, sick city, left you way behind
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
Sick city sometimes, sick city, in your mind
Sick city sometimes, sick city, left you way behind
[Verse 3]
Now the buildings take a fall
And it tries to kill us all
In the name of something zero in your mind
Now the buildings take a fall
And it tries to kill us all
In the name of something zero in your mind
[Chorus]
Sick city sometimes, sick city, in your mind
Sick city sometimes, sick city, left you way behind
Certain Move Lyrics
[Verse 1]
It's such a certain move, don't throw it right back on me
It's such a certain move, open your eyes, so you can see
[Chorus]
You look like you should know
So let the four winds blow, I think it's time to go
[Verse 2]
It's such a certain move, just turn your mind from night to day
It's such a certain move, I could believe in what you say
[Chorus]
You look like you should know
So let the four winds blow, I think it's time to go
[Verse 3]
It's such a certain move, don't throw it right back on me
It's such a certain move, open your eyes, so you can see
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 4]
It's such a certain move, from time to time, and day to day
It's such a certain move, what does it matter anyway?
It's such a certain move, from time to time, and day to day
It's such a certain move, what does it matter anyway?
[Outro]
I could believe in what you say, what does it matter anyway?
I could believe...
Lester Sands Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Lester Sands has been working very hard
Keeping up with what's gone down
Lester Sands is really in touch
With what is who's in town
Lester Sands bores the ass off me
Lester Sands is a big head case
I am getting so sick of the sight of
Lester Sands' face
[Chorus]
He thinks he'll be someone someday (No way)
He thinks he'll get somewhere some way (No way)
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands, a drop in the ocean
[Verse 2]
He'd better pull himself together
Do something speedy, or else
Lester Sands will be shown the ropes
And Lester Sands will hang himself
Lester Sands, big mouth extraordinaire
He's pulled a muscle in his head
Lester Sands strings words together
'Cause his senses have fled
[Chorus]
He thinks he'll be someone someday (No way)
He thinks he'll get somewhere some way (No way)
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands, a drop in the ocean
[Verse 3]
Lester Sands is a stupid fucker
And Lester Sands will stay that way
Lester Sands just gathers his trash
And brings it 'round here every day
Lester Sands, I think you'd better scram
If you wanna get out alive
Are you looking to get friendly
With somebody's bunches of fives?
[Chorus]
He thinks he'll be someone someday (No way)
He thinks he'll get somewhere some way (No way)
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands is a drop in the ocean
Lester Sands, a drop in the ocean
Up for the Crack Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Talking like you're some big news
Now you've got a chance to choose
Baby, there's nothing to lose
Yeah, I'm up for the crack
Maybe there's something to see
Something about you and me
Who knows what it could be?
But I'm up for the crack
Yeah, up for the crack
[Chorus]
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
[Verse 2]
Crazy, I'm on the attack
I've gotta scream for a regular jack
And if you see me on your back
Yeah, I'm up for the crack
[Guitar Solo]
[Chorus]
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
So many times I've waited
Too many times sedated
So many times elated
Too many times sedated
[Verse 3]
Crazy, I'm on the attack
I've gotta scream for a regular jack
And if you see me on your back
Well, I'm up for the crack
Breaking into something new
You know, there's one thing I can do
And if I said I'd see it through
Yeah, I'm up for the crack
[Outro]
Up for the crack
Up for the crack
Yeah, I'm up for the crack
Well, up for the crack
Yeah, up for the crack
Up for the crack
Useless Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Life's full of disappointments, wonder where the good times went?
Craving for recognition, rather than accomplishment
Nobody cares what your name is, and it's gonna stay that way
Everything is off the record, face it, there's nothing to say
Life's only temporary, and then you fucking die
[Chorus]
It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm
Between patience and persuasion every single time?
[Verse 2]
Mingling amongst the masses, that much would be enough
You used to be my rival, quit when the going gets rough
I never witnessed the moment, when all you ever wanted was me
Understand now the penny's dropped, pissed off bunny, not happy
Don't want to think about it, it makes me fucking mad
[Chorus]
It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm
Between patience and persuasion every single time?
It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm
Between patience and persuasion every single time?
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 3]
I never witnessed the moment, when all you ever wanted was me
Understand now the penny's dropped, pissed off bunny, not happy
Life's only temporary, and then you fucking die
[Chorus]
It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm
Between patience and persuasion every single time?
It's a useless situation, can't you see that I'm
Between patience and persuasion every single time?
