You were my fairweather friend
I'm not feeling it she said
Some things you can't forgive
Beware the fakest smiles
You'll only reap what you sow
You're the fool that follows fools

Be a moral free zone
Play your cards close to your chest
You say that ignorance is bliss
So don't spend your time alone
Everybody's lost in this world
All the demons that you hide

We're all monkeys on a rock
You're just a blip in infinite space
No trust or honesty
So every dog will have it's day

And all of my life, that's all I ever knew
All of my life I followed all the rules
Play dirty tricks, that's what you've got to do
To get on in this life, in this life

Be Machiavellian to win
Let the present be your friend
Get along by tricking friends
The baddest person always wins
I don't need the pressure on
Say the opposite of truth
Collect shit and then destroy
Because you just don't do it for me

And all of my life, that's all I ever knew
All of my life I followed all the rules
Play dirty tricks, that's what you've got to do
To get on in this life, in this life

I’m not as useless as you think I am
I think you caught me at the perfect wrong time

She’s using cult leader tactics
Draw a line under these matters
Because you dug yourself into a hole
I’ll never find your reasons
Some bizarre combination
Of some fling and some bloke on the go

But you claim
You’ve got no life skills baby
And I need a man for safety
I got two kids, I don’t want one more
She said, I might have been your lover
But I ain‘t going to be your mother
Don’t you ever come back near my door
Now lеt that be the end

I can accomplish things you’d nеver dream
I possess life skills that you’ve never seen

She’s using cult leader tactics
Draw a line under these matters
Because you dug yourself into a hole
I’ll never find your reasons
Some bizarre combination
Of some fling and some bloke on the go

But you claim
You’ve got no life skills baby
And I need a man for safety
I got two kids, I don’t want one more
She said, I might have been your lover
But I ain‘t going to be your mother
Don’t you ever come back near my door

You’re just a man child stupid
And my friends say you’re useless
Let’s have sex so this don’t end in war
She said, I might have been your lover
But I ain‘t going to be your mother
Don’t you ever come back near my door

On a much more serious note, I never told you
I’m a lean mean cleaning machine
I’ll even do your vacuum cleaning
But your ironing that ain’t for me
That ain’t for me

You’ve got no life skills baby
And I need a man for safety
I got two kids I don’t want one more
She said, I might have been your lover
But I ain‘t going to be your mother
Don’t you ever come back near my door

You’re just a man child stupid
And my friends say you’re useless
Let’s have sex so this don’t end in war
She said, I might have been your lover
But I ain‘t going to be your mother
Don’t you ever come back near my door
Now let that be the end

You killed my fish
Threw his bowl and smashed it
You smashed my synth
But came with me to repair it
Pissed in my cup
But tricked me into drink it
You can read my book
And learn how to disguise it

All my life I've longed for someone like you
Was too good to be true
I made you cry when I said that to you
And I did too

You killed my fish
He was my favourite
You had no remorse
Devoid of any feeling
Killed him in cold blood
Thank God that he's in heaven
I've loads of tips and tricks
To kill a fish and survive him

All my life I've longed for someone like you
Was too good to be truе
I made you cry when I said that to you
And I did too

How did we go wrong I still want you
How do I gеt through?
I may have only been a mess but only then
I'm back in this room

Skate
Salmon
Snapper
Goldfish
Fantail
Cod
Sturgeon

All my life I've longed for someone like you
Was too good to be true
I made you cry when I said that to you
And I did too

How did we go wrong I still want you?
How do I get through?
I may have only been a mess but only then
I'm back in this room

Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish
Fish Fish Fish Fish Fish

You fight too many battles on too many fronts
You plan to reach the top to be a massive cult
And love is nothing different than the games we play
Loose tongues can cost careers at the end of the day
I thought you were amazing, you don't do it for me
Because everyone's a problem eventually

Just tell yourself that every dick's a tick, won't go wrong
You want your cake and eat it coz you just like my songs
I should have never got embroiled with my kinky pc
I only ever loved you, not your еnemy
She took away my pain but gave it back to mе
Because I became a problem eventually

Come on everybody, dance two meters from me
This cop she was a flop not like you see on TV
You said you had a sex dream and it was about me
'Cos you're a fucking expert using CLT
And every a prick's a tick to that naughty pc
So I became the problem eventually

When you move against your rival finish them off
They're bound to come back at you and they'll have a good pop
You hurt me very badly when your plan went so wrong
That's why I'm writing to you via this little song
You made me love your **** but you never loved me
So I became your problem eventually

Let's Dance
Do the social distance
Do the social distance
Do the social distance
Do the social distance
Stop

The moral to this story is buy CLT
To trick and use the people that you casually meet
Make sure when implementing that you never get caught
So keep your shallows smile take a leaf from my book
Eventually you went and did the dirty on me
Because I became your problem eventually

The last time that I saw you I had COVID-19
I never got to tell you why I've been like I've been
I should have watched Prime Suspect 1973
So stick to Johnny Vegas 'coz he lives down your street
It worked for you, you're ruthless, left his family
Because you became the problem eventually

Oh Annie it's easy
I gave you the whole of my heart
Oh my god I adored you
I went in and dropped down my guard
I never met a woman like you
I never thought you'd do what you'd do

Oh Annie it's easy
I gave you the whole of my heart
Oh my god I adored you
I went in and dropped down my guard
I never met a woman like you
I never thought you'd do what you'd do

Oh Annie won't you let me know?
Oh Annie won't you let me go?

Deep in my heart I had to let you go
Annie won't you tell me, won't you tell me?

Oh Annie I loved you
I'll never tell you who are
I'm just hung up on my complex
The one about madonnas and whores
I never met a woman like you
I never thought you'd do what you'd do

Oh Annie won't you let me know?
Annie won't you tell me, won't you tell me?

Deep in my heart I can let you go
Annie won't you tell me, won't you tell me?

Oh Annie won't you let me know?
Oh Annie won't you let me go?
Deep in my heart I can let you go
Oh Annie won't you let me know?

I never met a woman like you
I never thought you'd do what you'd do
Oh Annie won't you let me go?
Won't you let me go?
Deep in my heart I can let you go
Annie won't you tell me, won't you tell me?
Oh Annie won't you let me know?
Oh Annie won't you let me go?
Deep in my heart I can let you go
Annie won't you tell me, won't you tell me?

Hands, face, space

He's talking behind my back
I can't even answer back
She's talking behind my back
It's a very convincing act

He's talking behind my back
He's slagging me off to everyone
It's never the crime it's the cover up
The sparks off the ripples that cripple us

He's talking behind my back
Engaged in a scam so dangerous
The portion of people believe anything
You've got to hold your nerve and convince everyone

Bring in thе cops or anyone
Your lawyers accountants and CID
He's talking about you bеhind your back
One hell of a scam that will take you far

He's talking behind my back
I can't even answer back
She's talking behind my back
It's a very convincing act

You're still talking behind my back
I could literally make up anything
To an office full of people all lying to each other
Their eyes on the prize they will go along with anything for the money

Bring in the cops or anyone
Your lawyers accountants and CID
He's talking about you behind your back
One hell of a scam that will take you far

He's talking behind my back
I can't even answer back
She's talking behind my back
It's a very convincing act

Bring in the cops or anyone
Your lawyers accountants and CID
He's talking about you behind your back
One hell of a scam that will take you far

He's talking behind my back
I can't even answer back
She's talking behind my back
It's a very convincing act

It’s cold outside but I don’t mind about the weather
I’ve got a bloody nose and I need to find my feet (starry eyes)
And there’s someone standing by the road
He feels his life is running slow
He wonders if he has a space
Amongst the overcrowded place before him

I have to stay inside
All I think of is you (all I think of is you)
But I am trapped and all denied
Wonder what you are doing now
All I think of is you
There is nothing I can do
I lost you

Sometimes I don’t care about the future
It’s just time to come and things unknown (starry eyes)
But the sounds of trains and summer rain
They serve to take me back to where I always feel at home
And where I always will belong
The bruising of my mind

I had to stay inside
All I think of is you
All I think of is you
But I am trapped and all denied
Wonder what you are doing now
All I think of is you
There is nothing I can do
I lost you

All I think of is you (all I think of is you)
But I am trapped and all denied
Wonder what you are doing now
All I think of is you
There is nothing I can do
I lost you

All I think of is you
But I am trapped and all denied
Wonder what you are doing now
All I think of is you
There is nothing I can do
I lost you

So this is my life
Got no career, no money or wife
This is all that is left
Just these demos that were sat on my shelf
You may think what have I done?
And I suppose I was your only son
But don't shed a tear
But just keep laughing if that’s how you feel
Does this song make you cringe?
Just let there be love
At the end of the day, we've ridden our luck
You're as guilty as me I bet you made it all up
So does this song make you cringe?
’Cos you're lying about who you sleep with

Are you cringing right now?
What comes into your mind when you listen to this?
Tell mе now don't listen with your wife
And if you do use all your front and your guilе
Don't sweat and just give her a smile
Then switch it over to Radio 5
Keep your cool 'coz you're living a lie
Well, well, I guess we all want a piece of the pie
Does this song make you cringe?

I lived on the underground
On the edge of society
There were people ignoring me
And it made me contemptuous
So I travelled the overground
And tried to just integrate
And I smile and I just said hello
Pretended I’m not dying inside

And I’m living in a grey house,
living like the monkey do
I lived in a grey house with you

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey
I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House
We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House

So I look for some solitude
But I never had the aptitude, for it
I lived in the ordinary
So I tried to suspend that too
So I painted my skirting boards
And greyed my environment
And I’ve learned all my lessons well
and locked myself up with you

And I’m living in a grey house,
living like the monkey do
I lived in a grey house with you

I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey
I’m feeling like this monkey’s insane, feeling the monkey

Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House
We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House
Life is a gas you don’t know where you’re at in the Grey House
We had so much fun, didn’t kill everyone in the Grey House

More respect, a bigger pool, a newer car, designer bags and a nanny
Popularity in the community, more facebook friends will make me feel happy

I never new that life could be this sad, so shallow and underhand
Will one more purchase make me glad? Glad of the man I am
I’ll make a list of things that I could buy
To feel better and make me happy, am I happy?

Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same

Friendships that are meaningful, waking up with someone that makes you happy
Peace of mind, a healthy life, is all I need to make me feel worthy

I don’t focus on the things that make me sad, the things I will never have
I focus on my simple daily life, I list the things I will never buy
I smile upon the people that I have
The people that make me happy, I’m happy

Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same

I don’t focus on the things that make me sad, the things I will never have
I focus on my simple daily life, I list the things I will never buy
I smile upon the people that I have
The people that make me happy, I’m happy

Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same
Did I explain
The things people want and the things people get ain’t the same

Jealousy it has a power
That’s nine tenths of it all
The other part is just your reason
For wanting me to fall

Jealousy it has the power
Above religion and the law
But it all ends up in a disaster
So don’t covet what’s not yours
Jealousy it has the power
So don’t covet this, it isn’t yours

Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours

Now you’ve listened to my story
A cautionary tale for sure
Where there’s money, power, there is treason
And so you sold your story for more

Jealousy it has the power
Above religion and the law
But it all ends up in a disaster
So don’t covet what’s not yours
Jealousy it has the power

Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours

Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours

You may have thought you won the battle
But you did not win the war
Because he who laughs out loud the longest
Is laughing at you all

Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours

Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
So don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
So don’t covet this, it isn’t yours
Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
Jealousy it has a power
Don’t covet this, it isn’t yours

To destroy someone, you must observe these rules
At number one
Everybody’s got their weakness
Get people on your side
The effective use of lies is how to work
Portray yourself as a victim

Never trust your friends
Just keep an eye on them
There’s no doubt about it
Oooh
Can you trust your friend?
Do you keep an eye on him
Are you safe as houses?
Oooh
Now I….

Feel like my head’s exploded
Hit the wall, I’m comatose
Until my brain gave in
Feels like my life’s imploding
History repeats
My past is catching up on me
Close, keep your enemies up close
Coz your friends can hurt you most
Close, keep your enemies up close
Coz your friends can hurt you most

To display your power
Mix the truth with lies otherwise
Somebody might believe you
The psychotic state is dreaming
While awake
In REM
Then the paranoia hits you

Never trust your friends
Just keep your eye on them
There’s no doubt about it
Oooh
Can you trust your friend?
Do you keep your an eye on him
Are you safe as houses?
Oooh
Now I….

Feel like my head’s imploded
Hit the wall, I’m comatose
Until my brain gave in
Feel like my life’s imploding
History repeats
My past is catching up on me
Close, keep your enemies up close
Coz your friends can hurt you most
Close, suck your enemies in close
Coz your friends can hurt you most

It’s your friends that hurt you most
It’s your friends that hurt you most

You fucked my head up and it turned to dust
Can’t even reason right or think straight
I just see black when life should be so grey
For my sins I’ve paid but in a cruel way
For my sins I’ve paid but in a cruel way

This Spooky Action goes a long long way
Can you feel me hurting from a distance
You kicked me violently when I was down
You put the boot in in a hard way
You put the boot in in a hard way

Feeling My Heart Run Slow, I’m feeling like…
letting my blood run cold, feeling like…
you told me I’ve got no soul,
so I’m feeling like letting my heart run slow

You suspend reality like it’s ok
Say it over and over until it beds in
You could call it blackmail in your own sweet way
But I call it sadism and big fun
But I call it sadism and big fun

A lack of truth becomes a dead dead weight
Say it over and over til it’s convincing
When that truth is known then it will all shake out
Now your skin must crawl with all the big doubt
Now your skin must crawl with all the big doubt

Feeling My Heart Run Slow, I’m feeling like…
letting my blood run cold, feeling like…
you told me I’ve got no soul,
so I’m feeling like letting my heart run slow

You don’t really know someone You don’t really know someone You don’t really know someone, til you fall out with them You don’t really know someone, til you fall out with them Until you’ve been where I’ve been You can’t judge or understand Cos you’ve been on your own too long And there’s your problem I guess we’re all children with affairs of the heart And there’s nothing rational about how it starts I looked to the future But you stare at the past Did I even know you? You don’t really know someone, til you fall out with them You don’t really know someone, til you fall out with them Until you’ve been where I’ve been You can’t judge or understand Cos you’ve been on your own too long And that’s your problem I guess we’re all children with affairs of the heart And there’s nothing rational about how it starts I looked to the future But you stare at the past Did I even know you? You don’t really know someone, til you fall out with them You think you might know someone, til you fall out with them Until you’ve been where I’ve been You can’t judge or understand Cos you’ve been on your own too long And there’s your problem I guess we’re all children with affairs of the heart And there’s nothing rational about how it starts I looked to the future But you stare at the past Did I even know you? You don’t really know someone You don’t really know someone You don’t really know someone You don’t really know someone You don’t really know someone

Do you believe that you are a god
Built to manipulate at all costs
Trying to steal what somebody had
Guess you can’t get fairer than that

A lesson in Karma’s what you’ve got
Lower yourself on the place of a god
You went and you stabbed someone in the back
I guess you can’t get fairer than that

Looking back over your shoulder, if you hurt someone that bad

You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that

The king has his reign and then he is dead
The natural order of things in the end
Like playing the victim role as your card
The faster you climb then you fall just as hard

And now you’ve got back what you deserve
When people can take what’s rightfully theirs
You wonder why life is turning this bad
I guess that’s fair because you’ll be

Looking back over your shoulder, if you hurt someone that bad

You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that

You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that

You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that

You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that
You can’t get fairer than that

You feel like I was your lap dog
I took your petty lies
Gave me no heartache
Gave me no heartache

Who’d want to be an artist
When your life’s devoid of joy
It’s nothing but a heartache
Nothing but a heartache

And I feel like I want to stay
Feel like I want to run
And I feel like I wanted to stay
Feel like I want to run

You just made the wrong decision
And the blind just led the blind
You gave me your heartache
Gave me your heartache

You told everyone I was evil
But that’s your dirty lie
You gave me such a heartache
Gave me such a heartache

And I feel like I want to stay
Feel like I want to run
And I feel like I wanted to stay
Feel like I want to run

And I feel like I want to stay
Feel like I want to run
And I feel like I wanted to stay
Feel like I want to run

Should I stay stay stay?
Should I go go go
Should I stay stay stay?
Should I go go go

And I feel like I want to stay
Feel like I want to run
And I feel like I wanted to stay
Feel like I want to run

And I feel like I want to stay
Feel like I want to run
And I feel like I wanted to stay
Feel like I want to run

I’m only half a turn away
I need to think my way out of this

Is medication the answer
Or is ignorance bliss?
A diagnosis of anxiety and stress
The inner wheel is turning
Changing gear in my head
Cycling over and over
With the memories I retain
To lose them is my aim
To stop the inner wheel
And learn to live again

It was a stitch up and a hoax
That led me to behaving like this

If medication’s no answer
Then is ignorance bliss?
A diagnosis of my apathy instead
The inner wheel stops turning
Just a temporary blip
Cycling over and over

With the memories I retain
To lose them is my aim
To stop the inner wheel
And learn to live again

Trying to figure this all out
Cycling through the thoughts endlessy

Is medication the answer
Or is ignorance bliss?
A diagnosis of anxiety and stress
The inner wheel is turning
Changing gear in my head
Cycle over and over

With the memories I retain
To lose them is my aim
To stop the inner wheel
And learn to live again

With the memories I retain
To lose them is my aim
To stop the inner wheel
And learn to live again

If medication’s no answer
Then is ignorance bliss?
A diagnosis of my apathy instead
The inner wheel stops turning
Took a temporary blip
Cycle over and over

With the memories I retain
To lose them is my aim
To stop the inner wheel
And learn to live again
With the memories I retain
To lose them is my aim
To stop the inner wheel
And learn to live again

I’m only half a turn away

My outlook is fucked
But I don’t worry too much
When I’m on the bench at the end of the street

I couldn’t think of no words
So this might be absurd
But it’s just the bench at the end of my street

The needles not stuck
I just got took for a mug
So, I’m on the bench at the end of my street

And I don’t give a damn
Cos it was only a scam
So, I’m on the bench at the end of my street

My outlook is fucked
But I don’t worry too much
When I’m on the bench at the end of my street

I couldn’t think of no words
So this might be absurd
But it’s just the bench at the end of my street

Stranded in a lonely place,
And all I got is thoughts of you
Even though you're out my life,
You still dominate me

I wish I had told you
I wish I had told you

You said there is no other way
You still dominate my view
Even in this lonely place
You still dominate me

I wish I had told you, when we first met
I wish I had told you
I wish I had told you

I wish I had told you
I wish I had told you

Something for nothing
Nothing for so long
Someone to catch you when you crawl
Someone to say jump
Something to jump to
There's no one to turn to when it's gone

It won't last for ever
and I will always pull through
It won't last for ever
and I will always pull through
It won't last forever
So don't you wait around.

Because.....
Don't you wait, it might never come
Don't you wait, it might never come

Digging for silence
Silence is something
Something to wish for when it comes
All that you needed
Something to turn to
All that you've done has come undone
Something for nothing
Nothing for so long
Someone to catch you when you crawl
Someone to say jump
Something to jump to
There's no one to turn to when it's gone

It won't last for ever
and I will always pull through
It won't last for ever
and I will always pull through
It won't last forever
So don't you wait around.

Because.....
Don't you wait, it might never come
Don't you wait, it might never come

And you're never going home
Coz you're never gonna walk away (x2)

Don't you wait, it might never come (x2)

And you're never going home
Coz you're never gonna walk away (x4)

I did a google search for what comes up when I type in
that I’ve got no ideas
I added insult to my injuries by digging up a song called 'No Ideas'

I'll hammer you by saying 'No Ideas'
I'll pick a weakness like you taught me to
Everybody's got one

Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Seems like they’re all the same
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Just use the same one again
Coz I’ve got No Ideas

I took a book and turned it upside down and cut it up
coz I’ve got No Ideas
I shot a blank with something vaguely not connected to the Urban Dictionary

I'll hammer you by saying 'No Ideas'
I'll pick a weakness like you taught me to
Everybody's got one

Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Seems like they’re all the same
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Just use the same one again
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Seems like they’re all the same
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Just use the same one again

You're using clever words to look just slightly more important than you really are
You're like the man assimilating culture meaning that you’ve just got No Ideas

I'll hammer you by saying 'No Ideas'
I'll pick a weakness like you taught me to
Everybody's got one

Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Seems like they’re all the same
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Just use the same one again
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Seems like they’re all the same
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Just use the same one again
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Seems like they’re all the same
Coz I’ve got No Ideas
Just use the same one again
No Ideas

And my head starts to ache
And it feels wonderful
And you gave me the space
To work out who I am
To decide why I’m here
In the vacuum that you left
To completely isolate
To destroy everything

Practice being uncomfortable for the sake of someone elses life
The silence is deafening
Just because you’re absent here, doesn’t mean your presence isn’t felt
The silence is deafening

And the noise starts to build
To come back to my life
And eventually calm
To completely isolate
To be normal again
With this ominous truth
That the agony became
Addictive like you

Practice being uncomfortable for the sake of someone elses life
The silence is deafening
Just because you’re absent here, doesn’t mean your presence isn’t felt
The silence is deafening

And my head starts to ache
And you gave me the space to work out who I am
