"We don’t mean to alarm or do any harm
But we do have, well, something to tell you
It's a little bit awkward to have to come forward
And tell you we're all in some danger
Now don't get upset and go stocking up yet
Just walk in an orderly fashion
We've known it for years and today the date’s here
So just relax and enjoy the action"
It's just the end of the world
A Hollywood movie in real life 3D
For free, see the end of the world
look on the bright side
at least you're all alive
To die at the end of the world
"Alright, steady on, we must remain strong
We don't want a 'situation'
The economy's collapsed but that doesn't mean that
We have to fall foul as a nation
Adhere to the rules, take yr children to school
And keep up a sense of decorum
Or we'll be forced to set our uniformed pets
Loose to cause a much uglier problem"
It's just the end of the world
A live motion picture, a real creature feature
I'll meet you at the end of the world
The dead are all walking, the horsemen are horsing
It’s a mad thing, the end of the world
Don't fear the reaper, offer him a reefer
And laugh ‘til the end of the world
Just look on the bright side, at least you were alive
To die at the end of the world
You better run for your life
It’s just the end of the world
The inevitable's come and there's nowhere to run
For your life from the end of the world
There are floods and there's fire, it's all getting dire
Can't hide at the end of the world
I hope it was worth it, fucking us for profit
Cause fuck, it's the end of the world
I hope there's a hell, I'd boot you down myself
For beginning the end of the world
It’s just the end of the world

...BOOM!
02:14
|

I'm not a woman, I'm not a man
I'm a motherfucking battering ram
Snowflake, avalanche
Game face, I was born to make a bang
I'm not a girl, not a boy
I'm a weapon that was sent to destroy
To flatten fools, rebuild schools
To brick the bosses & to rewrite the rules
And we'll be here ‘til it all goes boom
(I don't know about you)
Yeah we'll be here ‘til it all goes boom
(So what we gonna do?)
I'm not a victim, I'll lay ya out
You’re like dogs, you’re all fucking mouth
Draw your guns, make your move
It's getting real & we’ve got nothing to lose
Protect the weak, bring the fight
The enemy lies in plain sight
Different brains
Different pains
All hoping for a similar change
And we'll be here ‘til it all goes boom
(Don’t give a fuck about you)
Yeah we'll be here ‘til it all goes boom
(So what you gonna do?)
You’re a wolf in a sheep's costume
And we see right through
Gonna fight you ‘til it all goes boom
‘Til it all goes boom
I’m not gay, I’m not straight
I’m a missile built to batter the state
I’m not a fraud, not your friend
I’m a grrrl that don’t know how to pretend
I’m not trans, I’m not cis
I’m an armour that was built to resist
Resist coppers, resist tanks
Resist the rich & rob all the banks
And we'll be here ’til it all goes boom
It’s all to play for for you
Yeah we'll be here ’til it all goes boom
And maybe after that too
Power made you a grotesque cartoon
Pantomime doom
You’ll be crying when it all goes boom
When it all goes BOOM!

Glove of Love
04:55
|
|||
I wanna be your clothes
That you put on that make you feel like the bomb
I wanna be your song
Your anthem when you’re walking down the road
I wanna be your date
When someone else has cancelled and you’re sad
I wanna be your bed
The one you fall asleep in and feel safe
I wanna be whatever you dream of
Cause you fit me like a fucking glove
The Glove of Love
I wanna be your shower
Be each refreshing droplet on your back
I wanna be the slack
In the rope that saves you in your darkest hour
I wanna be what you need more of
Cause you fit me like a fucking glove
And when we walk down any street
People stop and talk 'bout us
It is one more nail in the coffin we lift each other from
We just want to feel like enough
Just wanna feel like we belong
‘Til then we’ll wrap each other up
Boy, I was made to keep you warm
I wanna be your steel caps
That bash a nazi's skull out of its head
Be your excess cash
For something you can buy that isn’t rent
I wanna be the revolution
You and I've been helping to begin
Wanna be a wise solution
For all of the pain you're processing
I wanna be a girl you dream of
And maybe that could be enough
Or I could be something you make use of
So your fingerprints don't show up
I'd be your glove of love

Thinking
04:20
|

When I met you
I knew you'd live in me
Like a punk tune
I fist bump walking down the street
When I was with you
almost felt lonely
I wanted more of you
Like you had all of me
And I'm crushed like a flower in the hand of a child
Innocently thrown, broken, back into the wild
I'm still thinking of you
Yeah, you heard me
I’m still thinking of you
And it hurts me
When I was with you
I felt 13
I’m still thinking of you
And it’s crazy
Now when I see you
I dunno how to act or be
And when I see her
I feel so choked I can't breathe
Cause she's beautiful
More beautiful than me
I am Dolly
And she is Jolene
Now the hand of God hath bestowed on me
The wisdom of love, but it's not helping
I'm still thinking of you
Yeah, you heard me
I’m still thinking of you
And it hurts me
When I was with you
I felt 13
I’m still thinking of you
And it’s crazy
So now I kinda hate you
For reminding me
I still think of you
On the daily
Yeah, I'm still thinking of u
Yeah, you heard me
Do you think of me too?
(1, 2, 3!)
I'm still thinking of you
Yeah, you heard me
I’m still thinking of you
And it hurts me
When I was with you
I felt 13
I’m still thinking of you
And it’s crazy
I’m still thinking of you

Gone

Could you stop me feeling lonely
Could you lead me out of the darkness
Could you stop me feeling oh so low
Could you cure me of this phantom madness
Can you promise one thing only
That you'll never be my one and only
That you'll never consume me
That you'll cruise me, use me, then callously lose me
Can you stop me feeling helpless
Could you fight all of my battles for me
Can you make life easy, forgo the fallacy
Can you help me live a fantasy
Can you soothe my sadness
Embalm me in protective goodness
It's all at stake like a Slayer
And I'm a player
So if it's on I'll see you later
3, 2, 1 and I am gone
No feeling I have is strong
Except to find where I belong
And I fear it's right here
3, 2, 1 and I am dead
Dead in body and in head
I found where I belong and it's
Worse than I feared
Can you be my shepherd
Could you guide me when my senses fail me
Cause they fail me often, I'm often guided
By the fear of being forgotten
Could you simply stop me feeling
All this love is a heinous hindrance
Could you stop me existing
Could you be the one holding the needle in the Netherlands
3, 2, 1 and I am gone
No feeling I have is strong
Except to find where I belong
And I fear it's right here
3, 2, 1 and I am dead
Dead in body and in head
I found where I belong and it's
Worse than I feared
\\: Dead, gone, 3, 2, 1
It's dead, it's gone in 3, 2, 1
I'm dead, I'm gone in 3, 2, 1
I said I'm dead and I'm gone in 3, 2, 1 ://
Dead, it’s gone in 3, 2, 1
Your battles are fought but they're never won
Someone comes along and 3, 2, 1
You've lost everything you've become
So now we're dead and gone in 3, 2, 1
The curtain call, the final drum
Take a bow, a final song
The lights come on
In 3, 2, 1
Dead, gone, 3, 2, 1
Why finish something that has never begun
The going gets tough and 3, 2, 1
You pack it all up and you start to run
We're all dead and gone in 3, 2, 1
Exit stage right, don't fight, it's done
You were brave and strong, you did right and wrong
But now you're dead and gone in 3, 2, 1
Dead and gone, 3, 2, 1
Say your goodbyes, you've got to start to move on
And when you don't feel strong, count 3, 2, 1
it's ok to cry, it's ok to run
The time is come in 3, 2, 1
Yesterday I felt so young
My body's weak, my mind is numb
But what's done is done, I'm ready, 3, 2, 1
Dead and gone in 3,2, 1
I've got to go, the Reaper's come
I'll see you all in 3, 2, 1
It won't take long, you'll all be gone
Yeah, dead, gone, 3, 2, 1
Existential shit seems wrong
When time just keeps on keeping on
Just go have fun, go on, 3, 2, 1
Dead and gone, 3, 2, 1
Hang your noose, draw your gun
Take control or let it come
Thy Will Be Done, 3, 2, 1
Your song is sung in 3, 2, 1
It's time to let another come
And do the things that you have done
And life goes on in 3, 2, 1
Dead, gone, 321
Life was so short, I could have sworn it was long
But we had fun, kept on keeping on
Now I'm ready for takeoff in 3, 2, 1
\\: Dead, gone, 3, 2, 1
It's dead, it's gone in 3, 2, 1
I'm dead, I'm gone in 3, 2, 1
I said I'm dead and I'm gone in 3, 2, 1 ://

My Friend Eddie
02:44
|
|||
My friend Eddie, he works for the government
When I asked why, he said “I take ‘em down from the inside”
My friend Eddie, he never stops talking
Never stops judging what’s wrong and what’s right
And sometimes I think that he’s barely alive
My friend Eddie, well he’s a punk rocker
He’s got acid wash jeans and an acid wash brain to boot
My friend Eddie can’t deal with the authority
And he’ll be fucking damned if he gives you a good excuse
My friend Eddie, he’s been to hell and back again
My friend Eddie, he’s pushed away every close friend that he ever had
But I know Eddie and I know what he’s up against
When the system fails you, it’s hard not to fight back
My friend Eddie was born in army surplus boots
With a lit cigarette and the gear already up his arse
My friend Eddie, he quickly learned the hard truth
If you wanna stay free, you better learn to run real fast
Go, go, Eddie, you’re an athlete, top of the class!
My friend Eddie, he’s been to hell and back again
My friend Eddie, he’s pushed away every close friend that he ever had
But I know Eddie and I know what he’s up against
When we’re downtrodden it’s hard to take one step back
My friend Eddie, he works for the government
My friend Eddie’s Guy Fawkes-ing it one match at a time
My friend Eddie, he likes to think he’s Robin Hood
Knicks the biros from the office so the kids on the block can write
And very glad to say that he’s a very good friend of mine
But I wish he would just take a bloody holiday sometimes

Kick Me When I'm Down
03:40
|
|||
Kick me when I’m down
Here’s an invite
You can put out my lights if you want to
Spit on my grave
Stamp on my head a little harder
You can torture me and you can put me in my place
Oh baby, kick me again
Kick me down the stairs
And then back up again
Make me feel your pain if you want to
Twist my face
Into a portrait
Of your hurt and hate
I’ll even help you
Cause you’ve got it all
And I’ve got nothing at all
And you wonder why I keep my distance
Cause next to you all
I feel two inches tall
And you wonder why I’m bitter and twisted
Cause you’ve got it all
And I’ve got nothing at all
And you wonder why I keep my distance
Cause next to you all
I stand two inches tall
And you wonder why I’m bitter and twisted
Kick me when I’m down
I know you want to
I’ll even give you my boots
Or do it for you
I ain’t too proud
I’ll admit I might be wrong
But come on, come on, come on!
Cause you’ve got it all
And I’ve got nothing at all
And you wonder why I keep my distance
Cause next to you all
I feel two inches tall
And you wonder why I’m bitter and twisted
Cus you've got it all
For you that's wonderful
But that's exactly why I keep my distance
Cus next to you all
I stand two inches tall
And my Daddy told me that’s the way the world is
Kick me when I’m down

life's a gift

LIFE’S A GIFT
Working hard now, feeling empty
Sacrificing time for safety
Synthesised to keep me reaching
Just another drug they're dealing
Course it's all a fuckin game
That I'll never learn how to play
Didn't want to anyway
But I'm the rat the rich make race
And if I don't then I don't get
Enough lunch to keep me fed
Working more now, feeling empty
God, please strike me down already
If life's a gift
Then my receipt
Is the grenade
Between my teeth
Go!
It’s gonna blow!
Working harder, dying faster
Still no money, still disaster
Spending more on life's sick pleasures
To counteract these trying measures
This is all some fucked up game
That I never agreed to play
Hand to mouth, I cannot save
A penny for the things I crave
People dying for the myth
That the more you play, the more they give
Ain't no pride in working hard
To get buried in the bosses' yard
If life's a gift
Then my receipt
Is the grenade
Between my teeth
Go!
It’s gonna blow!
Clenched fists, resist
Give it up or eat shit
No one gets to be rich
Go!
It’s gonna blow!
(Now!)

Feeling Called Home
02:37
|
|||
I lost my job, I got my mobile jacked
Getting smashed and puking in cabs on the daily
Tryna find some kinda way back
To getting back on track
Laid back and less crazy
So now I'm running
And jumping
Stopping
And starting
I dunno where I'm going but I hope I find something!
I get this feeling called home, feeling called home
feeling I know where I wanna be
I lost my girl to impulsivity
Couldn't see her needs
Wrapped up in manic energy
Now I'm tired and I'm walking home
But I don't know which direction to go to feel homely
So I keep dropping
And dancing
And lusting
And chancing
Keep waking up, feeling rough and distancing
Until I get this feeling called home, feeling called home
feeling I know where I wanna be
I get this feeling called home, feeling called home
feeling I know where I wanna be
But right now I don’t know
Right now I don’t know
Where I wanna be
And if you find it
You gotta tell me please
(I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely)
So if you find it
That sweet feeling I need
(I'll give you anything, I'll live through anything)
But if I keep going the way I'm going
I'm gonna fucking die without ever knowing
If I can get this feeling called home, feeling called home
feeling I know where I wanna be
I get this feeling called home, feeling called home
feeling I know where I wanna be
Right now I don’t know
Right now I don’t know
Where I wanna be

Another
03:59

Another paycheck
Another pay cut
This is a trainwreck
I need another pick-me-up
Around in circles
My head is spinning out
Another word
And I'm gonna have a meltdown
Another signpost
Another road block
Another self-help
Book that doesn't help much
Around this carousel
So fucking dizzy
But getting off dun end well
And it's-a picking up speed
So it's another drug I take
Another friend that I hate now
Another heart I break
Another plane comes crashing down
Another hour I waste
I play the game, the clock goes round
One more mistake I make
It's all a sick game I want out
Another sermon
Nobody asked for
One more word and there's gonna be an uproar
Another bottle smashed
Another street fight
Another siren on yet another sleepless night
Another lover
Who craves the control
Another head lost far up its own arsehole
Another health risk
Another loophole
Another therapist, I got another list to solve
And around we go
‘Til it’s another drug I take
Another friend that I hate now
Another cum I fake
Another solar system found
Another song I play
I come off stage, it's not enough
Another rainy day
Another fight to not give up
I'll never hate you baby
Not as much as I hate myself
I'll never leave you baby
I can't trust anybody else
I couldn't hate you baby
I'm too busy hating myself
I'll never leave you baby
I can't afford anywhere / don't have anybody else
Another drug I take
Another friend that I hate now
Another debt I make
Another straight that I turn down
Another masquerade
Another lie to save my skin
Another strange charade
Another time not listening
Another bud I blaze
Another gender I try out
Another point I make
That no man takes into account
Another chance I waste
Another day I go without
Another part I play
Another song inside my mouth
