No Right

You're looking really cool in your brand new tracksuit
I bet that it costs more than I get in a fortnight at work
There you go again talking class struggle
And there I go again wanting to fuck you up
Your plain black t-shirt's designer
You're "so fashion", so daring, so different
And there you go again talking trans politics
And there I go again trying not to be sick
Cause you were born with rights
And you think that you can do what you like
But they ain't gonna apply
Not now in our town tonight
No right
No right
No right
Have you ever had to fight in your life
You've got no right
You're looking so smart in your new fitted suit
Tailored and altered so it only fits you
Meeting your supportive mother for brunch
I hope that you choke on your vol-au-vents
Cause you got every right
To speak for all of humankind
And I don't think it's right
So I'mma take them and you're gonna have to fight
No right
No right
No right
Have you ever had to fight in your life
You've got no right
No right
No right
I bet you never had to fight in your life
You've got no right
I don't care where you come from, I care where you go
I care about you seeing and renouncing your throne
I don't care where you come from, I care where you go
I care about you seeing and renouncing your throne
I don't care where you come from, I care where you go
I care about you seeing and renouncing your throne
I don't care where you come from, I care where you go
I care about you seeing and renouncing your throne
No right
No right
No right
Have you ever had to fight in your life
You've got no right
No right
No right
I bet you never had to fight in your life
You've got no right
No right
No right
Have you ever had to fight in your life
You've got no right
No right
No right
I bet you never had to fight in your life
You've got no right
No right
No right
No right
No right

Eat Yr Words

You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
Let's get high and burn the fucking church
Let's get drunk and throw ourselves around
Let's get naked, burning in your arms
Yeah burn me fucking down
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
Driving through the country playing punk
Stopped by the house that I grew up
I spat at that memory
Stopped by that house and I threw up
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
Told me I looked too feminine (what, me?)
Took me to wash my makeup off
Took pleasure in my suffering
Eyeliner down the wishing well
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
Told me there's nothing to be done
Told me I was thirty years too young
Told me I had already been done
Told me there was no one to become
Thank god they were wrong!
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will
You'll eat your fucking words,
I know you will, I know you will

Rhinoceros

"Grow a thick skin
Develop armour like a fucking triceratops
So it doesn't get in
You've gotta learn to just shake, shake, shake it off
Your skin has gotta keep developing
Or else you're gonna fall apart
'Til you're a fucking rhinoceros
'Til you've forgotten who you are"
So now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I don't trust no one
(You got what you wanted)
So now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I feel nothing for no one
"You've gotta learn to be a hippopotamus
This is what it's like in the swamp
The hatred of man is bottomless
Gotta get wise and man up
You've gotta learn it's all the same
Only the strongest survive and that won't change
You've gotta learn to play the game
Play, play 'til you've forgotten your fucking name"
So now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I don't trust no one
(You got what you wanted)
So now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I feel nothing for no one
You got what you wanted
You got what you wanted
Yeah now I'm strong and my heart is a vacuum
Now I'll fucking kill a cunt if I have to
Ain't no natural predator I'm afraid of
Just a bombing or a couple of headshots
This concrete jungle turned me into a rhino
And now the lions have returned to their shadows
But there's no hiding from the asteroid
Or the epidemic, so what is really the point?
So now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I don't trust no one
(You got what you wanted)
So now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I feel nothing for no one
Now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I don't trust no one
(You got what you wanted)
So now I'm strong, but all my feelings are gone
(I'm a fucking rhinoceros)
Now I'm strong but I feel nothing for no one

F@CK!
03:19
|

I don't know what to fucking do
You turned me into something new
Desperate to tell you how I feel
All fireworks and ferris wheels
But I don't know which words to choose
Cat caught my tongue
It was a hit and run
I'm overcome
No other word in me but
FUCK!
I can't believe that this is real
This is the biggest ever deal
I've never been so fucking scared
And so happy and unprepared
It's like my lips
Sealed by this kiss
It's all gone south
Just one word coming out my mouth!
FUCK!
Hey boy, I got a bone to pick with ya
One hit and I'm feeling so peculiar
Body blooms like blossom after winter
And now I get these feelings on the regular
Eternal spring in a two-day whirlwind
And one word is all I keep repeating
One other thing you got me thinking
Hey, hey, you, I wanna be your girlfriend!
FUCK!

Make Yr Own Throne
04:34
|

When life gives you lashes
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
As society crashes
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
Cause you're a motherfucking prince, girl, and you deserve your own throne
Yeah you're a motherfucking prince, girl, so let the whole world know
Yeah let the whole world know
Yeah when life gives you lashes, make your own throne
And when life gives you lemon, roll up and smoke
And if you make a little money, keep that shit close
And when you're loving with your honey, be a royal host
Cause they ain't gonna give it to ya, hell no
So you maybe gotta sidestep, make your own
Get that DIY ethic, sticks and stones
Let's fuck with the structure, take back control
When life gives you lashes
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
Don't let it make that a habit
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
If you know you're the queen
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
If anyone disagrees, the fuck do they know
Make your own throne, make your own throne
Yeah when life gives you nothing, take something back
And when the cops come knocking, take up your bats
When the bosses steal your labour, rob them point blank
And if the bosses won't surrender, rob the whole bank
Cause they don't give a fuck about us, not one
So we're gonna have to fuck it up to get shit done
Gonna have to get rough to take down the scum
Make our own thrones, claim our freedom
When life gives you lashes
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
Give 'em back and get savage
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
If you're a motherfucking princess
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
Then give 'em your best and make them bow low
Make your own throne, make your own throne
We gotta prove girl, prove we're the queens of england
Take the estate, and turn it into a kingdom
if they won't share their riches, we dun fuckin need em
we all know that money is a made up system
So we find our worth in different things
In creativity, community, and blazing with friends
And if we need money, we do what we can
And if we can't do nothing, we take from the man
We take from the man
We take from the man
We take from the man
The man call it criminal, he don't understand
We take from the man
We take from the man
We take from the man
We take his supply to fulfil our demands
When life gives you lashes
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
As society crashes
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
We're gonna rise above them
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
Take their gold and their diamonds, make them our own
(Make your own throne, make your own throne)
'Cause when life gives you lashes
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
We're gonna give 'em back massive
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
'Cause we're royalty
(Make your own throne, make your own throne, make your own throne)
And you traitors and thieves gonna be overthrown
Take your old throne, make it our throne
(Make it our throne, make it our throne, make it our throne)
Make it our throne
(Make it our throne, make it our throne, make it our throne)
Make it our throne

The Mild Side
04:20
|

So listen, eh, I don't know much about life
But I know my own mind, I know the life that I like
And listen, here the grass is as green as you like
Let's take a walk on the mild side
So listen, eh, let's get a couple things right
I like to do what I like, and I'm an innocent type
I like to stay inside and that's my only real vice
I don't like to sniff whites, drink pints, and start fights
I'm a mild child, I don't get too crazy
Just watching game shows, the odd soap, documentaries
Feeling hazy, getting stupid and lazy
Might not float your boat but I ain't broke so don't try to change me
(Are you ready?
Roll steady!)
So listen, eh, I don't know much about life
But I know my own mind, I know the life that I like
And listen, here the grass is as green as you like
Let's take a walk on the mild side
So listen, don't invite me out to a place
It ain't you babe, it's me, I see through the charade
It's how they get ya, full time, working late
Just to go and do what? Have a life that you hate?
Now listen up, I'd rather not have my whole life on hold
Work shifts for some prick and do what I'm told
'Cause if you ain't so into sex then money loses its shine
Ain't much I'm selling so ain't much to buy
(The grass is always green
The other side is a lie)
So listen, eh, I don't know much about life
But I know my own mind, I know the life that I like
And listen, here the grass is as green as you like
Let's take a walk on the mild side
And listen, eh, I'm pretty old and I'm wise
Ain't much that I haven't tried, I'm known to give good advice
And listen, I've been around the block a few fucking times
Time for a walk on the mild side
Let's take a walk on the mild side
Let's take a walk on the mild side
So listen, I'm a girl who likes to zone out
I don't like organised fun and standing out in a crowd
And listen, I'm a bitch who likes to pass out
But imma do it at home, it ain't so dangerous now
And listen, I'm a girl who lives inside books
And every kind of music, and a signature look
And listen, it ain't broke so put your toolbox away
When I need a fucking spanner imma call you OK?
(And listen babe, if you need an escape
From your day to day, just take my hand, I'm gonna show you the way)
So listen, eh, I don't know much about life
But I know my own mind, I know the life that I like
And listen, here the grass is as green as you like
Let's take a walk on the mild side
So listen, eh, I don't know much about life
But I know this is my time and it is passing me by
So listen, no time to play a part that someone else writes
Let's take a walk on the mild side
Let's take a walk on the mild side
Let's take a walk on the mild side

Aurora

They grew a forest
I crawl inside
A tangled fortress
That gets so black at night
They built a castle
I scaled the walls
I sleep outside
They're way too tall
And when we sleep together
I feel it all
Every feeling ever
Universal pull
Venus and Mars
Split in two
The atoms from which
All things grew
Infinite struggle
Nothing new
The twilight zone
Eternal gloom
Your eyes are moons
And both are full
Lunar orbit
Planetary pull
In altered time
We don't know when
The day begins
And the evening ends
You pull me close
But not for long
My sweet eclipse
That seldom comes

I want you to know, never meant to cause you any pain
I guess that our priorities are not really the same
I guess we each think in profoundly different types of ways
And that's OK, just kiss me one more time before you leave again
Everything i am, everything i've ever known
I'm doing what i can to stop my heart turning to stone
Just tell me that I'm pretty one more time before you go
And everything I was, everything I've ever been
I lay it all out on the floor and hope you find something you need
Just tell me that you love me one more time before you leave
One more time
(It's never enough)
Just tell me one more time
(It's never enough)
Just tell me one more time
(It's never enough)
Tryna take a little more responsibility
These days I can lay it all out the first time we meet
I ain't fronting, I just know the something that I need
How about a little more of it before you leave?
Everyday is cold, everything is fucking grey
Tryna bloom into the spring's so hard to ascertain
Seasons change, I stay the same, and then it's cold again
And everybody comes and goes so let them come and go
I lived with me so many years now that we're pretty close
Just tell me that you love me one more time before you go
One more time
(It's never enough)
Just tell me one more time
(It's never enough)
Just tell me one more time
(It's never enough)

OO BABY DRENCHED IN DESIRE
CAN U FEEL IT ACROSS THE WATER
I DRINK U SWEET LIKE ELIXIR
IN DAYDREAMZ FADED & FRACTURED
OO BABY, NEED TO FORGET YOU
EVERYDAY, HEAD LIKE A WHIRLPOOL
OCEANS OF MAGIC AND MYSTERY
STRONG WAVES THAT SOFTLY CONSUME ME
AND I NEED OUT
SWIMMING IN EACH OTHERS' BODIES
WASHING OVER US FIRMLY BUT GENTLY
WILL I START SOME STRANGE EVOLVING
TO HELP ME LEARN TO BREATHE AGAIN
OR WILL I NEED OUT

Football
They came from a game, held me down, and they battered me raw
Football
Finished practise to find me, nail varnish beside me on the floor
I was not well liked
I was small and slight
I was not well liked at school
Hockey
The sharp sting of the stick against my ribs 'til I couldn't breathe
Hockey
The game where girls would hit the shit out of the kids that didn't fit in the team
And I doubt it's a surprise
But I didn't even try
To be very well liked at school
The music room
Writing my earliest songs, hiding from everyone that I knew
The music block
I had sex in there once, yeah I connected there once, but just once
This is more scary to admit than a lot of harder shit
But I was never well liked at school
And everybody I've known, I've known because I've grown
And I don't know anybody from school
And the teachers as well made my little life hell
Made my difference a disease to undo
I was just like you, I was a loser too
And I'm still shocked when someone likes me at all
