Jebediah Album

Verse 1:
Were you laughed at by your friends
And were you lost for words when everybody finally told you what they thought
You can't keep up with the trend
It makes you lose but somehow everybody always makes up in the end
Oh, was it something that I ate
Oh, didn't even touch my plate
Oh, suddenly I'm feeling great
Do you like me now

Chorus:
Leaving home, life was never good to me
Leaving home, I smell the morning air
Leaving home, life was never good
You can work it out we're leaving home

Verse 2:
I could hear them through the door
As people came in laughing at the way they acted when they were alone
And an argument can start with nothing more than this
To be the light and leave you standing on your own
Oh, am I doing it again
Oh, I'm a loser now and then
Oh, and I smile at everything
Do you like me now

Chorus

Verse 3:
Hope I like the life I find when I leave everything behind
I hope I'm sure I've made my mind to go and leave home

Chorus

Verse 1:
Yeah!
Benedict sits in his room, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
Green men are coming soon, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He waits for them in the dark, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He stands alone in the ball park, Benedict, Ben-Benedict

Chorus:
They didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you
They didn't wanna find you
They didn't wanna beat you, beat you
ohhh.....

Verse 2:

Benedict's losing his head, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
He keeps it under the bed, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
His mine will let him know, Benedict, Ben-Benedict
When it is time to go home, Benedict, Ben-Benedict

Chorus

Verse 3:

Oh, We're suddenly much better than you x 3
Oh, We're suddenly much better......

Now you're looking at the new fave
Now you're going to see the next rave
Keep on blasting out and go green
Blame it on the magic brain bean, yeah...
Ben-ben-ben-ben........... x 4

Verse 1:

This will take some explaining but I think you will agree
There is no use pretending that there's hope for you and me

Chorus:

And I love her, but do you think she can see
When I tell her, it's the end for you and me
It was over, ever since you went and shot me

Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart....

Like a harpoon
Like a harpoon in my heart

Verse 2:

Yeah

I can handle the fighting, it's the affection I can't stand
And I don't mind us talking, just don't try and touch my hand

Chorus

Verse 3:

When you left I didn't want you back
But now your gone so won't you come right back
Come right back x 5

Chorus

Why does it hurt
Simple matters don't seem worth
We're the same but it's not happening again

Chorus

Verse 1:
There is no pain, my bodies drained
I never should of had that fourth slice straight
We gathered round, the lost and found
But my jerks of attention let me down

Pre-Chorus:
Well I took the first one,
And I pulled it back.
And what was once green
Had all turned black, had all turned black
And there was nothing left to say.

Chorus:
I'm ten foot tall, the world's so small
I know it all when I'm wasted
What you see, inside of me
Has been set free when I'm wasted, wasted.

Verse 2:
I'm getting there, my constant stare
And I don't think I'll move from this chair
We've got them both, Archers of loaf
And the Stone Roses in the stereo

Pre-Chorus
Chorus x 2

Wasted, wasted
Wasted, wasted

Chorus

I don't want to be straight, don't want to be straight
I don't want to be wasted, wasted, wasted, don't…

Verse 1:

It was in the evening, or was it afternoon
It doesn't really matter, they were in my room

No there no here to save you x3
No there not

Chorus:

One by one
They tricked me one by one
They stripped me one by one
They fixed me one by one
Invaders picked me

Verse 2:

I thought that I should go now but I just had to stay
Stick around and listen to what they had to say

No we're not going to hurt you x3
No we're not

Chorus

Change:

Ohhhh, arrggghhh, oohhh
Invaders, Invaders, Invaders, Invaders........

Ooh, I like their eyes, like buggy flies
Their purple skies, where no one dies,
Their silken hair, and what they wear
Without a care for nothing

Say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't
And you say that you care but you fucking don't

Bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah, bah...... etc.
Backing: Watch out for invaders...

Verse 1:

I know I've said things I didn't mean to say
And I know I've done thing I didn't mean to do
I'm stupid, pathetic
Sometimes I say, things that I never mean to say
And sometimes I do things I don't wanna do
But we can leave that out

Chorus:

I'm waiting for the early sign
That signals everything is fine
I've rocked the boat enough I know
To make a scene and spoil the show

Verse 2:

I get jealous, way too easy all the time
And over zealous, way to easy on time
Before I see things straight
Sometimes I say things I never mean to say
And sometimes I do somethings I don't wanna do
But we can leave that out

Chorus x 2

The show, the show, the show...

I was strolling down your road
When I saw you now I know
It's clear, it's all your fault dear
And the price I had to pay
Shit that I took everyday
I lived was all that you could give

And I know that you're to blame x 6

I've been fighting it so long
But I know that I'm not wrong
With this, I'm totally pissed
So I'll take it out on you
And all your girlfriends too
Cause they hate me but they're too blind to see

And I know that you're to blame x 6

Sssah....

And I know that you're to blame x 6
It'll never be the same

Verse 1:
You and me tie ourselves on to the railway
Tugging on things that catch us up
Sitting off things that fly us down the freeway
Blowing our brew from plastic cups

Chorus:
Nothing to do, (when you're) in this situation
The pilots are drunk, we're all dead
Proving we're worth, the casual observation
Proving we're worth the food we're fed
And I'm hurking up the pieces
All the pieces that I've found
And I'm picking up the pieces
Off the ground, Yeah

Verse 2:
You and me fall down onto the wrong side
Laughing at those that pushed us down
Climbing back up, we enjoy the free ride
Climbing back up but they've all gone

Chorus
Repeat Verse 1
Chorus

There is the mat
Wipe where it's at
You can come in
So can the cat
I can see me
Under my feet
Under a fan
Spreading the heat

If everyone's ready and waiting for you, Yeah
Then come along Friday what is there to do?
We like to clean, our hands with preen
To keep all the germs away from the scene
That's our motto, that's what we say
That is the truth, that's how it'll stay
If everyone's ready and waiting for you, Yeah
Then come along Friday what is there to do?

Scrub and make clean the lino, lino
In case of visitors
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean, it's hard to clean

There is the mat
Wipe where it's at
You can come in
So can the cat
I can see me
Under my feet
Under a fan
Spreading the heat

If everyone's ready and waiting for you, Yeah
Then come along Friday what is there to do?
Scrub and make clean the lino, lino
In case of visitors, visitors

Like what you get when you've just started retarded
Think of what you want and who you are
M, m, m, My life, when I think is so circumstancial
You take what you're given it's never substancial
But that doesn't matter, when I am around her
I think of something more, but what will I use it for

You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean, hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
You don't wanna know, you just want them to go
They walked on your lino and it's hard to clean
Hard to clean
Can you tell me what I mean

I'm on parade, you don't say: why can't you see that
Keeping my feelings at bay: why can't you see that when

When you're around, you just get me down,
I'm better off without you x 2
I'm just better off...

All of the years add up to: why can't you see that
Something has happened to you: why can't you see that when

When you're around, you just get me down,
I'm better off without you x 4
You just get me down

It's not me, it can't be
I'd rather leave
It's getting hard, to be a part
Of what is around
Is this the situation of the time
If so you can have yours, I want mine
I know there's something better you could be
Now I am past caring, completely

When you're around, you just get me down,
I'm better off without you x 4

We were going along
To a particular song
Just hanging around
Feet scuffing the ground
Catching us on a roll
We were collecting the dole
Doesn't mean something's wrong

We were just slipping along
Slipping along
Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along

At a party we found
People hanging around
There was nothing to do
We were smoking a few
Saw two girls outside
They were both pretty wired
I thought something was wrong
But they were just getting it on

Slipping along
Yeah
Slipping along
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
I'm slipping on, and on
Yeah

I don't wanna go anymore
I don't wanna go anymore
Stop pushing me through the door
I don't wanna go anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore

I don't wanna fight anymore
I don't wanna fight anymore
Picking myself off the floor
I don't wanna fight anymore
Anymore, anymore, anymore

I said I'd try but you don't believe me
You still don't know who I am, if only
I had the guts to tell you
If I had the guts to tell you

If... If... If...

Well I've been outside and it's not my scene
And I know you don't know what I mean
But I'm trying hard cause I've never been
On the other side of a daydream

La Di Da Da (x6)

And I've been around tried to be kind
But it gets me down 'cause I often find
People that I meet in this state of mind
Are hanging on to threads fallen behind

La Di Da Da (x12)

Seems I've found
Something to stick around
My neck and be proud

Seems I know
Some things will never go with
What you've got on show
Even so

La Di Da Da (x15)
