September of That Year
03:28
|
|||
when we were sick we took care of each other like real friends do
and I'd talk to you
on the phone
on the train
I'd listen to you
tell me how your day was
I wish I'd listened better sometimes.
you were in a band I used to love
they lost their way September of
that year.
then one day we'll get back to the point
and maybe we'll remember how to talk to each other on our own
so tell me how your day was
I wish I'd listened better sometimes.
I hate September of that year
I hate all that you hold dear
I hate you

TUFF
03:57
|
|||
I'm so lucky to be alive
my friends don't even know that they're the reason I survived
the Lions would never run and hide
but we're so small we gotta learn to take good care of what's inside
I won't ever get my shit together enough
but I'll always be tuff
this girl, how she changed my life
she's a role model that's even good when she's dealing with her own strife
that girl knows how to wield a knife
but only in the kitchen cos she's way too sweet to start a fight
I won't ever get my shit together enough
but I'll always be tuff
this boy,
he broke my heart in ten.
but I don't blame him,
I can't blame him,
I'd do it all again.
that boy,
he doesn't know what to do
he's trying like he means it
like he really really wants it too
I won't ever get my shit together enough
but I'll always be tuff
Brisbane went home alone again.
No-one knows quite how much this town holds for me and my friends
Well, Melbourne, you sucked 2008.
so what
fine
celebrate
'09 will be great
and I won't ever get my shit together enough
but I'll always be tuff

Weaker Than
02:55
|

You're weaker than
I said you're dead
I was back then
your favourite redhead
you came in and christ that headband is gay
your life is in sweet fucking disarray
never I've had a knife like this
you were a flight I wish I'd missed
I've got boys coming out my ears.
if you could've taken all the shots
wealth don't mean shit when I'm the cost
I wish you knew what you'd missed.
so we both abstain -
I wish you would,
I wish you'd said
crack cocaine makes all of us so good in bed.
but jesus I don't wanna die alone.

All You Brats
03:28
|
|||
all you brats
up on stage
you think you're all the rage
but this is just what we never wanted.
all you brats
you got the middle class plague
and while daddy gets paid
all the daughters should lead the way.
I was never one to wander far or far away from
voices that were straining hard just to sing their own song.
all you brats
coined a phrase
joined a phase
but you won't even get a mention.
all you brats
you go to school each day
and piss your lives away
just to warrant some kind of reaction.
I was never one to judge a pebble from a rhinestone
get your head out your ass and tell a tale of your own, son.

Point Break
01:42
|
|||
Lady Grey is your half-baked sister
Shady May is the cunt who kissed her
they're screaming again
we're kind of worried about a riot, like the kids at school might try it
you're so much more than just my sidewalk whore
I gave you time when you were bored
-Guilty-
You scored.
gotta get to chapter one because chapter one means you've begun
it's the fight scene
the Gods are keen
look down, motherfucker, I'm your teen dream queen.
I have to lie
all the time
if I told you there's blood on my mind
it's fine. you're a latent crime.
wear your art, class and cleavage to the mall
you're gonna stall,
crawl
I'll be rid of you by Fall
keep your head up
please,
please,
four more.
catacomb the womb
it's too small
try to translate my Southern drawl:
everybody knows this is nowhere.

Anxiety Attacks
03:45
|
|||
congenial, trivial nine-to-five
I never imaged you to check in/check out on time
the truth is rendered - it's double-ended
I cease to exist when I'm on my time
dangerous liaisons steer you straight
so seductive
but you're letting me down
probably,
probably is the case
it's always been that way.
Anxiety Attacks
could beat us back
but it's always been that way, so you can stay...
you might as well stay?
well I think:
that place and this place are not so different
there's just as much shit in this town - just as much as the other ones
they're just as mean
and more obscene.
a colder place won't bring it all down for you
and neither will my writing it all down for you
I've been willing to lay it all out for you
but it just keeps going on like this...
Anxiety Attacks
could beat us back
but it's always been that way, so you can stay...
you might as well stay?
I'm not even asking you anyway I don't care either way (stay)

While Tom Waits
02:34
|
|||
while Tom waits I've got years that I can't shake and I'm lonely for your company's a bore
it's all at stake:
this year we're gonna break every scar on every heart and there's more I'm gonna take.
I didn't want us to end it tears I thought we'd last for years
I do love you -
- with all my heart -
but I can't do this falling apart.
I can't take this new love/this old hate
it's pink and raw and all my old wounds are still sore
suck on this while I get some air to hold this kiss and I'll be sure to miss you when I'm gone
I didn't want us to end it tears I thought we'd last for years
I do love you -
- with all my heart -
but I can't do this falling apart
I can't do this
it's too hard.
I love you with all my heart and I've never cared
so if you want me, when you want me: I'm always there.
I love you with all my heart and I can't wait for our next fight to start.

A General's Sword
03:27
|
|||
we're ripping up all the carpet where we left off
the floor wasn't hard enough to lift the ceiling
but you gave me feeling
all arms and tall and such.
and I slept silent for the first time
I went North cos I got bored
but you were up that far, demanding not to be ignored.
I want you to ignore.
a general's sword could cut this cord
but something breaks the swing
we got to hoping...
now I'm scared to lean in
if I do,
there might be speaking
and I'm not good at making meaning
I'm no good at...
while I try hard not to get thrown
you're too overgrown
like a landmark lacking its centre stone
the kind that gets you
all alone.

Fear and Loathing
03:15
|
|||
I can read these lines like an open book until the curtain call
and someone tells you how wrong you look and that you could have had it all
where you drive on the right
I can't turn to save my life
you comment the shit out of my pain
call me that name again.
I think it's best now that you go
are you even awake?
are you seeing that I don't love you that way?
maybe I bought a vacant lot -
sold a nation out
did I?

Darling
05:39
|
|||
season's gone and air is shrinking
I got high and I've been thinking how we used to be
let's get bored and let's get stupid
you play God and I'll play cupid
boy, you really destroyed me
and now I'll be smoking out my bedroom window 'cos air is free
and I'll sing:
darling, darling
please forgive me
I'm in a world of hurting
this is a sea of disease.
every time I pulled you up for not loving me enough
all the while, the mere sight of you could make me smile
I never gave you credit for all you did - you really were such a sweet, sweet kid
one day I hope you find a girl that makes you feel okay
because I never could be -
never really sure you felt that way for me
so I'd sing:
darling, darling
please forgive me
I'm in a world of hurting
this is a sea of disease.
I'm so sorry that I slept with him
but you gone and did the exact same thing, and she... she was...
damn.
I know that it was hard for you - I know it was a hard thing to do to say I love you
and now I'll be singing every lonely lonesome song for me
so I sing:
darling, darling
please forgive me
I'm in a world of hurting
this is a sea of disease
and it's killing me.
but darling, darling
was it worth it each time you broke me?
because now I can't breathe.
I know it's not you I need
but please come back to me
please
aw, please
I'm asking nicely.
