Arseholes like You

Verse 1
There’s shit on TV, there’s shit on the radio
And Elvis is dead, Elvis is dead so wake up
Smell the hangover, walk out of your shit job
Coz life is too short to waste it all on arseholes like you To waste it all on arseholes like you, to waste it all on arseholes like you

Chorus
Life is wasted on Arseholes like you

Verse 2
I bet you never wanted a dog
and you hate Christmas
You kick small children
and leave gum on the seats
People hate you, you’re antisocial
And you hate them back solely
because they hate you
They hate arseholes like you, we hate arseholes like you

Chorus
Life is wasted on Arseholes like you

Bridge
You blame your caffeine addiction
you blame your cigarette addiction You blame your alcohol addiction
You blame everyone You blame your politicians
You blame your boss that’s new
You name the blame and blame the blame but it’s all the same coz they’re
arseholes like the ones you claim deserve the blame but it’s your claim to fame
coz they’re arseholes just like you

Chorus X 2

Be Here Now

Verse 1
Couldn't even be here for today
Make me think you've found a better way
The whole world changed from when I could belong
I was fine before you came along

Chorus
I thought I could not be here now

Verse 2
Would you like it if I called you sir?
Would that somehow make me prettier?
I could give you everything
You take it all and anything

Chorus
I thought I could not be here now

Bridge

I thought I could not be here now

Cheeky Monkey

Verse 1
Ooh I’ve got another question
One more elaborate excuse for my procrastination
Ooh another bad question
You could never want it and I could never give it
Ooh I’ve got another feeling
One more exasperate deliberating broken heart
Ooh another bad feeling
You could never feel it even if you want it

Chorus
Why can’t we just be nice
Always a step behind
We’ve come too far this time
To throw it all away, away, away

Post-Chorus

Verse 2
Ooh I’ve got another section
One more exasperating image of my broken mind
Ooh another reflection
That I could never want it and you could never give it
Ooh I’ve got another saviour
One more disgruntled and pathetic form of open thought
Ooh another bad saviour
But I could never see it and you could never be it

Chorus

Post-Chorus

Bridge
One more deception
One more deciding blue
One more conception
One more residing of you
One more Delilah
One more back-handed blow
One more bad liar
One more depiction you know

Chorus

Gravy

Verse 1
Messed up, sniffing paint like flowers
Dressed up and bleeding just for you
I like it when we make love for hours
I hate you, glad you trust me to

Verse 2
Lately my whole body’s aching, I spend my spare time making
Up for what they’re taking
Burned out, screaming at the TV when I know they can’t see me there
In my empty room

Bridge
I can’t be victim of your mercy
Wish you knew that hurts me
But now it’s far too late
I sent off my soul wrapped in a letter
but you’ve found something better

Now I don’t feel so great
Sometimes, this whole thing is daunting
it feels like I am flaunting
Something you’ve been haunting
I know I am hurt and hateful
but in the end I’m grateful
Coz this way I’m alone

Chorus
You couldn’t hurt me like gravy
You couldn’t need me like gravy
You couldn’t stir me like gravy
you couldn’t see me like gravy
You couldn’t have me like gravy

I Will Disappoint You

Verse 1
I will never be the sun coming up
I will look around I will blow it up
I will never be a hero like you
But I will never be innocent

I will burn the stars above
I will never give you love
If I do it won’t be mine
I’ll withstand the hands of time

I will never be a super shout it out
I will bever be a landslide, blow it out
I will never be a one or two because you know

Chorus
I will let you down
I will break your heart

Verse 2
I will never be a super girl
I could show you this whole damn world
I will give you my space and time
I could make your world devine

I will never be a super shout it out
I will never be a monster rip it out
I will never be a two on two because you know

Chorus
I will let you down
I will break your heart
I will let you down, I will break your heart
I will disappoint you

Chorus 2
I’ll scream my lungs out
I’ll yell my thoughts out
I’ll turn my thighs out
I’ll rip my wings out
I’ll tear my eyes out
I’ll cry my heart out
I’ll strip my mind out
All for you

Make it Better

Verse 1
You'd like to be part of this place
Up here in outer space
I think that you would like it better
Up here you'd build a paper home
And sing when you're alone
You'd be a regular go-getter

You'd build a window near the door
You won't cry anymore
You'd see it coming and prepare
You'd have a sink of dirty dishes
A room of empty wishes
That maybe someday we will care

Chorus
But you never will fit in
Even when you're not left out
You think that no-one likes you
So have a cry and fuck about
Just give us one last chance
So we can let you down
The world will fall and die for you
If you keep fucking it around

Verse 2
You'd live alone with a pet rock
It'd be all you have got
At least there would be something there
You might invite around a man
And you'd do everything you can
But he wouldn't trust you that I swear

Chorus
But you never will fit in
Even when you're not left out
You think that no-one likes you
So have a cry and fuck about
Just give us one last chance
So we can let you down
The world will fall and die for you
If you keep fucking it around

Outro
Know that you can make it better (X 2)

Papercuts

Verse 1
Strip me bear with excuses
Leave me hanging on a thread
Tie me up to let me down
And do it all over again

Sick, twisted
And do it all over again
Slit my eyes with papercuts
And let them bleed for you

Chorus

Verse 2
Cutting me down to make yourself feel better
Drinking and screaming alone
Deal with the things that i don't want to get rid of
Second hand to you

Nazi, pimp
Never give up and never give in
I slit my womb with papercuts
And let it bleed for you

Chorus

Bridge

Penisth Song

Verse 1
I don't like you at all
I really hope you die
I will cut off your penis, and cook it, and give it to the homeless people
on your street
But it probably won't feed that many because

Chorus
It is very small
Your penis is very, very small
Your peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie
Is tiny iny iny iny iny iny iny
Your Penis is very very small

Verse 2
I think you farted once
when you were eating dinner
with me and my parents
And we blamed it on the dog,
and we all laughed
And you laughed
but you didn't know we didn't have a dog

Chorus
And your penis is very, very small
Your penis is very, very small
Your peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie
Is tiny iny iny iny iny iny iny
Your Penis is very, very small

Verse 3
I will gouge out your eyeballs with a spoon
Then I will freeze them, and put them on sticks
And then I'll sell them to your cousins
And they'll buy them, and they'll eat them
Because they're stupid, because you're stupid
No-one likes you we all hate you
And your parents yes they really, really hate you

Chorus
'coz your penis is very, very small
Your penis is very, very small
Your peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie peenie
Is tiny iny iny iny iny iny iny
Your Penis is very, very small

Photograph

Verse 1
I have a photograph in my mind of you
It's kind of blurry now along with my point of view
I saw a damsel in distress; it was not pretty
All messed up with no place to be

Chorus
I have a photograph
It means nothing now

Verse 2
I saw a black man in a white crowd
He said to me "can't yo be like me?
I know I'm not perfect. I know I'll never be.
It doesn't mean that you don't have to listen."

Chorus
I have a photograph
It means nothing now
I have a photograph
It means nothing now

Pretty Song

Verse 1
This time we'll make it happen
This time there's no more turning back
She wants you back
She wants you to want her back

Chorus

Verse 2
I think it's time we started
To give a damn about me
She wants you
But you are never happy

Chorus

Bridge
I never would have started it
If I ever had have thought of it
But I had so much riding on it
A little too late, all battered and bruised
If there's nothing there there's nothing to lose
So go away
There's nothing left now

Outro

Say It

Wordless Chorus

Verse
Back the fuck off, I’m a suckerpunch to explode
So what am I in a photographic way
Do I offend you? Am I scum you just can’t get rid of?
Just screen me out if I’m too much to handle.
For you I am scathing, I am.
For you I am scathing, I am scathing.

Chorus
Say, say, say, say it. X4

Thrush (Through the Wash)

Verse 1
I have a second motion
That you could be somebody else
I know you want me badly
But could you want somebody else

You believe you're holy
You think you're everything I have
You think you're so amazing
When I am nothing to you

Verse 2
I have a second motion
That you could get back up again
After we knock you down
And I am nothing in your head

You believe you're holy
That we just run around for you
You think that I'm your virgin
When I am nothing to you

Break
I have a second motion
That we believe you don't exist
I think you are revolting
I think you really don't exist

Verse 3
The way we knock you down
The way you get back up again
You think that I'm your goddess
When I am nothing in your head

You think you're so devine
You think we run around for you
I'm not your stupid virgin
And I am nothing to you

Too Much

Verse 1
I had a love affair, it was intuitive
He was my psycho lover, he was my negative
I wanted nothing more than his deceitful touch
But he just can not want me because I want too much

Chorus
I want too much
I need too much
I think too much

Verse 2
I saw him recently, I wanted him aswell
But he just did not want me, he wanted someone else
He broke my broken heart, he crushed my shattered soul
He threw my blackened mind into the fire

Chorus

Chorus 2
