1. KICK IN THE MOUTH

Ain't that sweet, she digs on me
I am exactly where I wanted to be
I'm gonna kiss myself till I can't see
'Cause I know

DJ spins electric beat
I'm gonna shake my ass and move my feet
And when I think about it, it fits so neat
'Cause I know, (yeah I know)

Hey, I could have been someone else
Yeah, I could have been someone else
Hey, I could have been someone else
Yeah, I could have been someone else

Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth
Yeah, yeah

What if I had played football?
Or if I hadn't returned that first phonecall?
Or if I ain't been born U.K. at all
Yeah what then? (What then?)

But I won't think too much tonight
Because it all panned out in a way I like
And yeah, I got my faults but it's alright
'Cause I know, yes I know

Hey, I could have been someone else
Yeah, I could have been someone else
Hey, I could have been someone else
Yeah, I could have been someone else

Hey, I could have been someone else
Yeah, I could have been someone else
Hey, I could have been someone else
Oh yeah, I could have been someone else
Someone else...

Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth
Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth
Yeah, yeah

Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth
Yeah, yeah, it's just a kick in the mouth


2. SOME MOTHERS DO 'AVE 'EM

That's right, that's right
I got a band and a woman too
I got a plan and a focussed view
And that's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool for 21
That's cool anyone

And I've already stayed for too long
But I will only break your heart when I go
When I go

Hold tight, hold tight
I'm still just a kid with heavy load
And rock and roll is a rocky road
But that's cool for 21

A long list of goals acheived
And tall tales to tell my son
That is cool for 21
Yeah that's cool for anyone

But I don't drive and I don't pay no board
And this will only make it hard when I go
When I go
When I go
When I go
When I go

So I'm staying home, yeah
Cos to my neighbours I'm fucking famous

My mother says she loves me
She tells me I'm not ugly
She thinks the whole world of me
She thinks I'm Superman

My mother doesn't understand why I'm always angry
I know she don't deserve it
But she's just first in line

I don't respect myself 'cause I can't respect myself
And I don't respect myself 'cause I can't respect myself

And yeah I heard every word that you said, oh
And your ideas, they all make sense but I reject them
How can I hope to earn your respect when I don't respect myself?

I don't respect myself
I don't respect myself
I don't respect myself
I don't respect myself
I don't respect myself

No


3. BEST ENEMIES

Well yes, you are contented,
What more could you want?
Yeah, you fight, but you always make it up
It's love chasing its tail

Look at how she holds his hand and she
She whispers to him, kiss her now
And when she pulls away she's got his
His heart dangling from her mouth

Phone calls and accusations and a
A bad feeling all year round
Gutless and co-dependent
They're the best enemies in town

The best enemies in town
The best enemies in town
In town, around...

The silence - you hate it
Hearts should come armour-plated
Violins, they play for
You and me and for her
With clear minds and wide eyes
We make the best decisions

So, just let it go...

So now the tears come easily and she
She promises to change her ways
But it's not about what you do
It is who you are that matters these days

After months of rehearsals and bad excuses
The moment to leave is now
So death to contentedness
You were the best enemies in town

The best enemies in town
The best enemies in town
The best enemies
Oh here's to the best enemies in town,
In town...

Well, where will I found love now?
Who will accept me now?
They all cried for chairman Mao
They all cried for chairman Mao


4. IT'S ALL ABOUT CONTROL

There's something in my head I've wanted to say
When some of these ideas, they won't go away
And all of my demons, they come out to play
I wish I had more control of myself because

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah

Don't ask me what I think about science and art
I've got all the questions locked up in my heart
There's too much to do and I don't know where to start
Just wish that I had more control of myself because

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah

I know sometimes it seems like I got it going on
I don't, you wouldn't believe it, oh
Sometimes my dreams are so far-fetched
That I cannot begin to conceive a way out

Yeah!

It's a waste of my time
It's a waste of my mind

It's a waste of my time
It's a waste of my mind

I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah
I've had enough of getting drunk, yeah


5. EVERY TIME A TEENAGER LISTENS TO DRUM'N'BASS A ROCKSTAR DIES

"Well hello friend, looks like you made it!
How does it feel?
All the praise and the attention
And you keep it all real...
And while we're at it thanks for the mention,
You asshole, Lenman."

Have another drink
Take those boxing gloves off
Tame that temper
You get in such a bother
You're like my mother

"I hope he don't forget who his friends are
You seen him lately?
I knew him when he was nothing and I think he owes me
You're so pretty and I'm so stupid,
You're so pretty and I'm so stupid)
Yeah we haven't talked in years and I'm oh-so angry..."

Have another drink
Yeah, take those boxing gloves off
Tame that temper
You know you get in such a bother
You're like my mother...

'Cos you're so pretty and I'm so stupid...

Before all this madness I had a plan
I dreamed I would buy us a plot of land
Where you and me could rest our bones
A place where we can both call home

You and me, you and me...


6. NOBODY LOVES YOU

Oh, you're all alone
Oh, I know it can feel like that
Oh, and no one knows
Oh, just how much you have to offer

So here it is from me to you
Nobody loves you like I do
I'll say it twice because it's true
Nobody loves you like I do

And oh, you're talented
And oh, but you're impatient aswell
And oh, so quiet down
'Cause oh, because no one listens when you're angry

So quiet now, between us two
Nobody loves you like I do
A feeling that is just for you
Nobody loves you like I do

Like I do, like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Like I do, like I do
Nobody loves you like I do

So don't give up, it's not the way
And I know the things your Dad will say:
"You're not getting any younger
You're not learning anything."

But we never learn unless we're wrong
And I've been waiting all along
To congratulate your efforts
You really showed them who you are

And oh, you lost it out
And oh, but you gave it all you had
And oh, and in the end
And oh, that is the best we can ever hope for

So here it is, so don't be blue
Nobody loves you like I do
Something that is just for you
Nobody loves you like I do

Like I do, like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Like I do, like I do
Nobody loves you

Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Like I do
Nobody loves you like I do

Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you
Nobody loves you like I do
Nobody loves you like I do
Like I do
Nobody loves you like I do


7. BLAMETHROWER

We all have responsibilities
We all have a social debt
And if there is a man free of guilt
I haven't met him yet

So now you're backed in a corner
You're under verbal attack
They're pointing fingers like guns in your face and
Nobody got your back

You've got to blame somebody for all your fucking mistakes
So someone else will pay for all the bad choices you make
And you should take responsibility for what you do
But you just point your finger at somebody innocent and say

No I don't feel so fucking good
No I don't feel so fucking good
No I don't feel so fucking good
No I don't, I need somebody to blame!

Got blame?
Got blame
Got blame

So one day, somebody asks you how you feel and instead of telling the
Truth you reel off a list of things you think they want to hear,
Because it's easier that way. And so they treat you like this completely
Different person because all they know about you is misinformation,
And you gradually detach yourself from all your actions, thinking:

"Oh, I don't know why I don't mean what I say
I don't know why I don't feel what I say."
You've been lying about your feelings for so long
You've forgotten who you are

You got to blame somebody for all your fucking mistakes
So someone else will pay for all the bad choices you make
And it is all your fault that you feel angry like you do
But you could not admit it and you're stuck thinking;

"No I don't feel so fucking good
No I don't feel so fucking good
No I don't feel so fucking good
No I don't, I need somebody...

No I don't feel so fucking...
No I don't feel so fucking...
No I don't feel so fucking good
No I don't, I need somebody to blame"

Yeah, blame!


8. KEEP IT TO YOURSELF

What you say? Skies are grey? Had a bad day?
Well, hip hooray - I've had a bad one too
I've missed the trains, been to pains, blown my brains and
Don't want to hear it all again from you, so

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody else

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody else, no

So you know someone who doesn't like me
They told you that they really hate my guts
I don't need you as a middle-man - they can tell me themselves
That is if they have the nuts

And as for bad things you knew were gonna happen
That retrospective bullshit's got to go,
Don't looks so smug - makes you ugly in this light, and no
I don't wanna know, and especially no "I told you so"

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody else

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody else,
Shut up, just shut up
Just shut up
Just shut your face

Gibberish shout of excitement

Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody else

Tell nobody. Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody. Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody. Keep it to yourself
Tell nobody. Tell nobody else, no

Tell nobody
Tell nobody
Tell nobody
No!


9. LIGHTS OUT

So here's how it is:
I'm tired of being tired
Bored of being bored
But I don't wanna be lonely

She's looking at me
And I cannot see
A place we agree
But I don't wanna be lonely

I don't make her laugh
I don't make her smile
I don't make her move
But I don't wanna be lonely

And I'm mouthing these words
I'm dying to say
To someone I think I know

It's a joke got out of hand
But I think I understand

And it won't be long before I get the guts
To risk loneliness and do these things I must
To ignore my head and put all my trust in my heart

'Cause I don't want this
No, I don't want this, no, no...

Here's how it is:
You like the idea
Of someone around
'Cause you don't wanna be lonely

It's not about you
It's not about me
It's not about us at all

It's a story so old it's been told and re-told
And if I want my freedom, I've got to be bold
It's a shame and it's a crime
I have wasted all this time

'Cause I've known for months all the moves to make
And goodbyes, they give me a belly ache
So no "One last kiss for old times' sake"
'Cause I'm gone...

Yes, let's talk about all the things we have in common
And if these are mistakes then I would make them all again
It's so unbelievable you actually exist
Let's make this a memory of us, 'cause we've got

Lights out, sound low
I wanna know: how far can this go?
Lights out, sound low
I wanna know: how far can this go?
Lights out, sound low
I wanna know: how far can this go?
Lights out, sound low
I wanna know: how far can this go?

Yo...

'Cause we were born for tonight -
For this very moment
We were born for tonight
For these secrets stolen

Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights out
Lights!


10. ALPHA SIGNAL THREE

Yeah, go!

Well, sometimes I get this
Lump in my throat
When I remember
Those things I wrote

The strangest feeling
I've ever had
Starts off as angry
Ends up as sad

Yeah when I'm awake and when I dream
And all the places in between
Where I go and where I've been
I will take this ghost with me

Well I guess I loved her

So much for feeling like broken bones
I wish I'd left it all alone
So much for healing eventually
I'm just as damaged as I'll ever be

When I'm awake and when I dream
And all those places in between
Where I go and where I've been
I will take this ghost with me

Well I guess I loved her

She took my...

She took my shoes off when I fell asleep
She combed my hair and brushed my teeth

I guess I loved her. I must have loved her
I guess I loved her. I must have loved her
I guess I loved her. I must have loved her
I guess I loved her. I must have loved her

I guess I loved her, but I still made her cry


11. GOOD NIGHT

It's four a.m. and I cannot sleep
Stuck in my bed next to a naked woman
My body's tired, like a Gun riff
But my brain has woken up and wants to party

All my new songs are whizzing round there
How many tracks should we put on the record?
I wish my head could just be empty
But I've started thinking and I can't stop now

I can't stop
Not now
I can't stop

Awake for hours in a fucking bind
Held captive by my over-active mind
All plans and shopping lists and fresh ideas
If only I could have a good night

A good night
A good night
A good night
A good...

It's two p.m. and I just woke up
Stuck in my bed because there's nothing doing
No complications, no commitments
No reason I should open up my eyes

Yeah Trisha's on, but she talks rubbish
And I don't listen to a word she says
My girl is ready and she wants to play
But I'm late for work and I cannot stop now

I can't stop
Not now
I can't stop

Wasting my time being here anyway
Nobody wants to eat a thing today
I'm walking up and down and back again
Wish I was home having a good night

A good night
A good night
A good night
Good night
Good night
Good night
Good night
Good...

Bebop
Rocksteady
I'm gone
To the chippy

I know that you'll miss me
So stay up till I say

Good night
Good night
Good night
Good night

We'll have a good night,
Good night,
Good night,
Good...


12. RETURN OF THE JEDI

Piracy is piracy
If you sail the seven seas or surf the net
Record firms, they're making losses
But they still spend it like they're making it
It's fifty grand to make a fucking video
And Sardy albums cost a fifth per track
And so your favourite band
They don't make that second album
Dropped by their label 'cause they can't pay it back

It killed them
It killed them
It killed them
It killed them

Well I got some news for you then my brother
This is a business like any other
You got your product, make money off it
You count your losses against your profits
And if you're thinking "So? So?"
You don't know

Underground, that's where we come from
We don't wear no suits and we are not called The
But chart success, that brings security
You watch these brothers thinking "Why not me?"
So show me where to sign
And I'll write my name down in my own red blood
Because there comes a time when you think a house might be nice
And selling out don't mean a fuck, you see

It kills me
It kills me
It kills me
It kills me

I can't stand...
I can't stand...
I can't stand...
I can't stand... it

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?
Get yourself to London on the train
Then I'll just send you home again

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?
Get yourself to London on the train
Then I'll just send you home again

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?
Get yourself to London on the train
Then I'll just send you home again

Well how's about you come down and I'll explain?
Lean a little bit closer, I'll make it plain
You don't stand a fucking chance

I'd like a job in which I'm able
To put shoes on my feet and food on my table
Those nine-to-fivers they look pretty stable
But I get my wages from my record label
And if you're thinking "So? So? So?"

And if you're thinking "So? So?"
You don't know enough about it
Because this death is slow
Slow, slow

This thing will work itself out
This thing will work itself out
This thing will work itself out
This thing will work it out
Out out out

Guitarist and songwriter
That's what I thought I was
I never had no dreams of being a waiter
But these here Helmet rip-offs
They don't but my lunch
So I will get a real job in the office

And I won't bother to make my music
And I won't bother to sing my songs
And I won't bother to get excited
And I won't bother to get her off

And I won't bother to make my music
And I won't bother to sing my songs
And I won't...
And I won't...

Sure... Sure
Sure... Sure
Sure... Sure
Sure...


And I won't bother to make my music
And I won't bother to sing my songs

Sure... Yeah sure
Sure


13. BOY

Oh, I am, I'm tired out
By life it drags me down
And all these thoughts that I'm swimming in
I feel like I could drown

'Cause everything is moving too fast for me to see
And these assholes try to make me something I don't wanna be
And the best news I can hear all day is for you to say to me

"Boy, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
And boy, it's alright
You'll be with me tonight."

Tonight, tonight...

Wait, don't move. You are beautiful
And I know that you'll always be
And oh, your eyes. They are open now
I've never felt more proud than when both of them are focused on me

But everything is moving way too fast for me to see
And these assholes, they try to make me something I could never be
And the best news I can hear all day is for you to say to me

Say,

"Boy, it's alright
It's alright, it's alright
And boy, it's alright
You'll be with me tonight...

And boy, it's alright
You're my life, you're my light
Boy, it's alright
I will dream of you tonight."

Tonight, tonight...
