The Automatic Album

Pack up your accents
Pack up your batteries
Now go marching
Back to the factory
A bunch of dresses
Down to the mattress
Car park asphalt tastes good, actually
(x 2)

Is anyone thinking anything at all?
(x 3)
Is anyone thinking anything?

I know I had
Something to say
It lost a meaning and it faded away
(x 2)

Woaaah!

So punk is dead
And this is so new
Your revolution
Cooked up in a boardroom
I like the message
On your t-shirt
I don’t know what it means
But the colors really work

Pack up your accents
Pack up your batteries
Now go marching
Back to the factory
A bunch of drugs sent
Down to the mattress
Car park asphalt tastes good, actually

Is anyone thinking anything at all?
(x 3)
Is anyone thinking anything?

I know I had
Something to say
It lost a meaning and it faded away
(x 4)

I know I had
Something to say
It lost a meaning and it faded away
(x 4)

Our ambition got cast aside
Thrown away when the batterys died
And you start to comprimise
Just to get to the other side

But its always for the best
And if your not convinced
Then you'll get left behind
I lost interest

It doesnt seem like you mean it
I dont believe that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what your supposed to be

It doesnt seem like you mean it
I dont believe that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what your supposed to be

(Lets go see Raoul) Lets make a stand
(Lets go see Raoul) For all the ones who
(Lets go see Raoul) Used to give a damn
(Lets go see Raoul)working all the time

Our ambitions got cast aside
Thrown away when the batterys died
And you start to comprimise
Just to get to the other side

It doesnt seem like you mean it
I dont believe that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what your supposed to be

It doesnt seem like you mean it
I dont believe that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what your supposed to be

Lets go see Raoul
Lets go see Raoul
Lets go see Raoul
Lets go see Raoul

(Lets go see Raoul) Lets go see Raoul
(Lets go see Raoul) Lets go see Raoul
(Lets go see Raoul) Lets go see Raoul
(Lets go lets go) Lets go see Raoul

It doesnt seem like you mean it
I dont believe that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what your supposed to be

It doesnt seem like you mean it
I dont believe that you believe it
And it feels like running with your eyes closed
If you forget what your supposed to be

(Lets go back to work) Lets go back to work x8

Stumbled out into the day you missed
Watch out forget what's on your lips
As they peel and blister in the sun
Watch out forget whets on your lips
Last night such a shit parade
Half dressed and never was getting paid
Lets dance shit all else to do
Slip trip and fall and lose it all

So much trash on the radio today
Keep dancing in the routine way
Keep dancing in the routine way x2

Constricted atmosphere breathlessness
Glitter glass floors so watch your step
The cracks in the walls that shift and sweat
The room revolves around your head
You got a fever and you cant sweat it out
You shout you shout you shout you shout
About the thing as you make your exit
Life in the room but your not it

So much trash on the radio today
Keep dancing in the routine way
Keep dancing in the routine way x2

This little piggy pushed the tempo
This little piggy stayed at home
This little piggy stole the limelight
This little piggy he got loud

So much trash on the radio today
Keep dancing in the routine way
Keep dancing in the routine way
(Repeat till end)

Can't fight! There's no escaping the facts
I tried to help but I failed
To solve the problems so much
Of good intentions

I want my wasted hours back
And I want my head to clear
And I have this bad taste in my mouth
From late nights and bad films

Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!

I'm drip fed these pictures
And now my words abandon me
The fraction that still me
Said this lives not all it could be

Now did you catch what I said?
Did you catch what I said?
One by one my ideas fade
And there's nothing left to say

Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!

Can't fight, decide a future
Let's dance, you're so robotic
Times up, refill the meter
This disappointment's so electric
(X2)

Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!
Get up! Recover! Cause you'll never dance again!

Brain fried tonight through misuse
Through misuse, through misuse
You can't avoid static abuse
Abuse, abuse

Without these pills you're let loose
You're let loose, you're let loose
Take off, get out, no excuse
No excuse, no excuse

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
What's that coming over the hill?

Confused, mind bruised, it seeps out
It seeps out, it seeps out
Face down, home town looks so grey
Looks so grey, looks so grey

Convexed you bend, twist and shout
Twist and shout, twist and shout
Stand up brush off get moving
Get moving, get moving

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
(x4)

Face down, home town, face down, home town
Face down, home town, it looks so grey
(x4)

What's that coming over the hill
Is it a monster? Is it a monster?
(x4)

Give me a reason
Not to keep sleeping
When I'm awake I feel like I am dreaming
The world is shrinking
Every street's the same thing
I can reach so far
But there are people disappearing

How can I pretend
To know my own mind
The more questions I ask
The more I find
I'm lost at home
Out of time
The coins I've flipped land on their side

I'm holding my breath at your end of town
I'm just passing by not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Then I think that I would be fine

Slowly sinking
Still thinking
There must be something I am missing
The street light, my sunlight
I won't sleep, I'm up all night

Can't stop, til I
Have been used up
If I was not lost for words
Then I'd have nothing to describe

I'm holding my breath at your end of town
I'm just passing by not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Then I think that I would be fine

I'm holding my breath at your end of town
I'm just passing by not for the first time
If I could rest my head just for a moment
Then I think that I would be fine

This adventure is a one way street

Intoxicated by this sound
Nothing but a fever, going round

Concentrated on the tones, that ring dead
Leaving you at home

That's the happiest you've looked all day
That's the happiest you've looked all day
That's the happiest you've looked all day
That's the happiest you've looked all day

Fallout, picked up on a plate
Break down, the crashing of her page
Tick Tock explosions in your ear
Their emotion, moved you here

That's the happiest you've looked all day (Repeat until end of song)

One place for all this distance
We've got so displaced
The life that you've always wanted
A thousand miles away
Like nomads, like an architect
Like moving in one place
We can live forever
We can fade away

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

Now I have your attention
It's just a matter of time
'Til you question what I'm saying
Make me justify
Every word in every line
That does not seem to fit
But the meaning's not so important
As long as you mean it

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else

The life that
I wanted
Is frozen
In motion
(x 2)

Borrowed time and missing faces
No home in a million places
I don't want a change of pace
I can't do anything else (x 2)

I can't do anything else (x 3)

What can I say
I've got no room to complain
Every mistake I made was out ok
But you're asking me questions, making suggestions
Telling me how to do what I do best
Considering we don't play requests it's nice to see you're taking some interest

Things are praying on my mind
I can't wait to leave behind
This small place

Walking crisis make sure everyone knows your pain
Keep a surprise not your private lives to make sure we're all entertained
And it's a shame that shit goes wrong but it happens to the rest of us
Considering we don't play requests it's nice to see you're taking some interest

Things are praying on my mind
I'll be here till closing time
I can't wait to leave behind
This small place

Drama
(Go Team, Go Team, Go Team, Go)
Drama
(Go Team, Go Team, Go Team, Go)
Drama
(Go Team, Go Team, Go Team, Go)
Drama
(Go Team, Go Team, Go Team, Go!)

Things are praying on my mind (things are praying on my mind)
I'll be here till closing time (I'll be here till closing time)
I can't wait to leave behind (I just can't wait to leave behind)
This small place, this small place

The things that run in my blood
I just gave up so fast
I've got nothing left to give
secrets don't keep themselves
I'm sick of hiding the answer from the question here
what did I find in my head
and no conviction
and a fire that had gone out
that lit up when the radio signal went out

Chorus

Lets look back,
I cant remember when,
The last time anything I said, meant anything,
But things change, things change, things change
Just as I slipped into the gaps between reception bars and I found myself one
day

Chorus

Don't look back,
And set traps,
For myself to keep me in check,

Don't back track,
Realise that,
The best defence is attack.

Chorus

Find a camera recluse
What is it that other people do that doesn't leave a bruise?
Its lurking under my skin uninvited
Silver paper thin i'm breaking through

I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
An i think its time that you made up your mind this time
Who's still on your side?

I'm sixteen over my head the concept of pide
The scene is dead but i'm here alone
If everyone in the room could hear themselves sing out of tune then they'd feel like i do

I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
An i think its time that you made up your mind this time
Who's still on your side?

Find a camera recluse
What is it that other people do that doesn't leave a bruise?
Its lurking under my skin uninvited
Silver paper thin i'm breaking through

I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
I remember someone say that there's always a rat close by
An i think its time that you made up your mind this time
Who's still on your side?

You are so sure
You're insecure
You cant help feeling
So unstable

There's nothing better
Than the sense
Of needing something so unstable

We didn't want the kids to call
And say something they heard before (x2)

These echoes
Of the final call
Are all we need to get it started

So with all your courage
You take the final reach
And end it
Letting go
Letting go

We didn't want the kids to call
And say something they heard before (x2)
We didn't want the kids to call
And say something they heard before (x2)

I don't know what to say to you
We don't know where you're going
I don't know what to say to you
We don't know where you're going

We didn't want the kids to call
And say something they heard before
We didn't want the kids to call
And say something they heard before

She take my money when I'm in need
Yea she's a triflin' friend indeed
Oh she's a gold digga way over town
That dig's on me.

(Chorus:)
She gives me money
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
When I'm Need
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas
She gives me money
Now I ain't sayin' she a gold digger
When I'm need
But she ain't messin' wit no broke niggas
I gotta leave
Get down girl gone head get down
I gotta leave
Get down girl gone head get down
I gotta leave
Get down girl gone head get down
I gotta leave
Get down girl gone head

(Verse 1:)
Cutie the bomb met her at a beauty salon
With a baby Louis Vuitton under her underarm
She said I can tell you rock I can tell by your charm
Far as girls you got a flock I can tell by your charm
and your arm but I'm lookin for the one have you seen her?
My psychic told me she'll have a ass like Serena
Trina, Jennifer Lopez, four kids
An I gotta take all they bad ass to show-biz
Ok, get your kids but then they got their friends
I pulled up in the Benz, they all got up in
We all went to Den and then I had to pay
If you fuckin' with this girl then you better be payed
You know why? It take too much to touch her
From what I heard she got a baby by Busta
My best friend say she use to fuck wit Usher
I dont care what none of yall say, I still love her

(Chorus)

(Verse 2:)
18 years, 18 years
She got one of yo kids got you for 18 years
I know somebody payin child support for one of his kids
His baby momma car and crib is bigger than his
You will see him on TV any given Sunday
Win the Superbowl and drive off in a Hyundai
She was s'pose to buy you shorty TYCO with your money
She went to the doctor got lypo with your money
She walkin' around lookin' like Michael with your money
Should of got that insured GEICO for your money
If you aint no punk
holla 'We Want Prenup' 'WE WANT PRENUP! Yeaah!'
It's something that you need to have
Cause when she leave your ass she gone leave with half
18 years, 18 years
And on her 18th birthday he found out it wasn't his

(Chorus)

(Verse 3:)
Now I ain't sayin you a gold digger, you got needs
You don't want a dude to smoke but he can't buy weed
You got out to eat and he can't pay, ya'll cant leave
There's dishes in the back, he gotta roll up his sleeves
But why ya'll washin' watch him
He gone make it into a Benz out of that Datsun
He got that ambition, baby, look in his eyes
This week he moppin' floors, next week it's the fries
So, stick by his side
I know his dude's ballin, but yeah thats nice
And they gone keep callin' and tryin', but you stay right girl
And when you get on, he leave your ass for a white girl

Get down girl gone head get down
Get down girl gone head get down
get down girl gone head get down
get down girl gone head.
