Mute (Boys)
There's something about the way you look at me - I hope you disagree
Well I'm not about to make mistakes - I just want to be set free
I have to go to where I've left - inside myself, to be left alone
Before too long my mind opens up to where I find myself - alone...
I take some pride and I realise that it won't take much as my soul aches...
I had no reason to hate myself - don't try to tie me down
You test me now but don't realise that you can't win me round
Empty feelings and promises were not my design for life
Before too long my eyes open up to where I find myself - alone...
I take some pride and I realise that it won't take much as my soul aches...
Your misery starts to take a hold - it doesn't want my company
Its grip tightens on my self-esteem till I give in, finally
Can't test the water, you've boiled it dry - nothing to soothe the pain
Before too long your mind should open up to where you've found yourself - alone...
You won't take some pride and realise that it won't take much before your soul aches...
You don't take my words
You won't take my thoughts
You can't take my soul
You should open up your eyes to see
When will you learn to live your life?
When can I be left to live my life?
Heading for the shaft of light to see another day...
Heading for another fall in the same old way...
Before too long my mind opens up to where I find myself - alone...
I take some pride and I realise that it won't take much as my soul aches...
You might take my words...
You might take my thoughts...
You might take my soul...
YOU CAN'T TAKE MY VOICE...
I WON'T LET YOU TAKE MY VOICE...
DON'T TAKE MY VOICE... |
Time (Boys)
I see pictures in a magazine, I look at them and think of there
I wish I had the time to hide away, so I can get through another dull day
I have to go to where I want to be, inside of my own misery
Then I look at you and wonder why I have to hide, not let my feelings out
In the morning, paint the world in colours for your disguise
Can't you see things with my eyes?
Don't let me hide
Picture horses running through the sea, I wish I could be running with them
I can feel the sand beneath my feet, my dreams of freedom feel like this
I long for chances to prove myself but you will only push them away
And when I ask you for a reason why it makes me wonder why I even try
Some nights I lie awake
Watching my life pass me by
When will someone tell me what I need to know? |
The Return of the Ultragravy (Boys)
Stepping out to see another day has gone
Time is slipping by, they're losing touch of where they're from
Reality surrounds them but it blocks the way ahead
It's as if the time has come to take them from this path they tread
Sometimes there's someone there to knock you down
Before too long you find what you've become
Too late to go back to the place they call home...
They take the task that they've been set to ease their minds
It'll take them forty years but they could still get left behind
Night and day it goes on, there's no end to the grind
But one day the time will come for them to unwind
Hitch a ride on a magic wave to take you away
Set your sights for hopes and dreams to stay
Too late to go back to the place they call home...
The people queue up one by one to see if their luck's in
Six times for luck they hope to see if their dreams could begin
Twice a week time drifts on by, and still nothing there
All they can do is wait and see if next time they'll be set free
There's a road far up ahead
Taking people to their dreams
Drive on, it'll take you there
Won't be long, you'll soon find the chair
Sit right back, relax and smile
Realise you haven't known this for a while...
Can you feel the air tonight, bringing on the rain
There's a chance that it has come to take away the pain
Hassle free it sets you free, bridge the gap of sanity
Hell's the place you call hope, wears away like a rope...
Now you find they have you in their hands
There's no way you could spoil their plans
Too late to go back to the place they call home...
You spend your days working hard
You realise it's just a facade
But your duty draws you in
Knowing another day must begin
Before too long you start to shout
But no-one cares what it's all about
They're tied up too, just like you
With no hope to see their life through |
Integrity (Boys)
You run around my head, you won't leave me alone
Too much to ask for you to change your tone
Same old things I hear every day about things that I have done
When will we start to have some fun?
Taking everything away doesn't make me stay
But you have it now in any other way
You washed away my glitter, took away my pride
All you see now is the emptiness inside
No more integrity...
Why should I have to say what is on my mind
You should know that you're not the feeling kind
Maybe you got bored with me but find it hard to say
You've no idea how it makes my temper fray
Sanity's a token thing, well that is how it seems
Taken now by you, all I have is my dreams
My wholeness is no longer running free inside of me
Shackled down by your selfish misery
I want to wake up to a brand new day, but will you be there?
Token gestures don't mean that much to me, now you've begun to wear me down
But if your lesson's not been learned by now... you've got to be set free
Greet the world in the same old tired way, don't you want to see
Heave feelings pulling me way down to another place where I didn't want to go
Take your thumb out of your mouth - you've got to be set free
Why don't you tell me something that I want to hear?
Is it such a hard thing, telling me you care?
Far away I hear a voice telling me to get away
But how far can I run when I want to stay?
Take away your selfish rules, hide your stupid pride
That I know is how you open up inside
Just because you're living now with a different plan
Don't ignore me, I'm no ordinary man |
T.A.N.U.S (Mercy)
And when I wake up and my mind is in a state
I'm out of coffee and I just put it down to fate
I've got bed hair, what do I care
It's just another fucking day
Day in day out
Breathe in breathe out
Stay in, it's always going to stay the same
I look for ciggies but I smoked them all last night
I would just buy some more if my money weren't so tight
I could just despair, where's my welfare?
I guess it's always bloody late
Nothing to moan about - all's hunky dory...
I'm running late and now I've gone and missed the bus
I wouldn't give a shit, but my boss makes such a fuss
He's just so unfair since he dyed his hair
It's not my fault he's such a jerk
Power up my PC but I'm just staring at the screen
56 e-mails and only two of them obscene
It's gone so wrong, got odd socks on
And I'm not sure my teeth are clean
Day in, day out
Breathe in
Stay in, stay out
Freak out
He has to work all through the day to earn his cheque and pay his way
His father never taught him what to do, attract the ladies? He ain't got a clue
Now all his friends have gone away, they all found love and didn't stay
So what's a lonely boy to do when his working day is through?
It's 5 o'clock, it's time to get back home to the telly zone...
I've smoked my last fag, now I'm rolling them instead
It's half past two and if I want some sleep, I must go to bed... |
