[No lyrics]

. . .


We've never spoke in three weeks man,
And it's starting to freak me out,
I hope there's no one gelling my bird together with all their sweet and utter charm.

We've flown around the world together we've seen a massive range of sick bags even in Baghdad call my self your lad but seemingly your sad.
Oh oh oh oh

. . .


I love the dress sense and the colour of your hair
The way you say that people who are working, they are aiming to be posh, my dear
People flocked around you by the smokeys in our school
Teacher's, they contained all their anger as you regularly broke their rules
And everyone done the pill,
but solvent abuse it can kill

The first taste of heaven there was splattered on your screen
Floating with schemers and the part-time Halloweeners and the Lochee team
And everyone done the pill,
but solvent abuse can kill

5 Rebecca's, all of them are close to me
One of them's a cock, and one of them does history
One of them's my niece, and one lives close
And the one I love the most has turned into a junkie

So under satisfied with minors at your age
And something so deceiving when you find yourself conceiving on a holy day
So unachievable with minors at your height,
and something so deceiving when you find yourself conceiving on a Sunday night
Everyone done the pill, but solvent abuse can kill

5 Rebecca's, all of them are close to me
One of them's a cock, and one of them does history
One of them's my niece, and one lives close
And the one I love the most has turned into a junkie

Poor Miss. Rebecca, you'll be missed my girl
Wasn't for the treasure you'd be rich my girl
Saved your from the terrier and your so called friends,
took a back seater but they killed it in the end though,
You're sitting really cozy in your humble black cave
It doesn't seem likely for a girl your age
Us cupid little kids can never look back,
when one of us is lying in a big brown bag

Oh oh oh
Oh oh oh

5 Rebecca's, all of them are close to me
One of them's a cock, and one of them does history
One of them's my niece, and one lives close
And the one I love the most has turned into a junkie

5 Rebecca's, all of them are close to me
One of them's a cock, and one of them does history
One of them's my niece, and one lives close
And the one I love the most has turned into a junkie

I love the dress sense and the colour of your hair
They way you say that people who are working
I can tell you, that's a touch my dear

. . .


Living on them pills lying in squalor,
That's the life of the late night bar crawler
Most outrageous man I met he once said, "I could take a belly full of lead and wouldn't wind up dead."
He wants his song to make you shiver a little like there's a ghost coming your way
Have you ever been told that something's forever, and had your heart broken the very next day.

Shout it from the rooftop
You can shout it from the rooftop
But you can't tell it to the paper, they've already been paid

To be ten different people that's easy, it's easier than being yourself
I'm the one off pretender I'm not happy, picking life off the shelf
He taught me, time wasted, is time spent well
The a mans dead if he doesn't have a story to tell
Dead if he's lying in a dirty jail cell

Coz when your down they'll kick you, the jury doesn't matter at all
The jury doesn't matter at all
Tell me officer when your baton kissed me, did it make you feel tall?

And no one asked you where you come from,
No one told you of these times,
And no one asked you where you come from,
No one told you of these times.

This is your life don't waste it,
Why don't you run away?
A man to reckon with he knows how to persuade,
Says you won't get a sun tan in this government shade,
Does it make you quiver a little, the way they say,
"We're gonna fuck you , take a little bit of freedom away every day.

You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
You can shout it from the rooftops
But you can't tell it to the paper, they've already been paid.

. . .


Cut out your pictures now, I know that you are near.
Tack them into the frame for now, as I know that you'll be here.
It's not just me you know, there's a lot of ruined smiles,
And I remain so strong for them, even though,
I'm burst inside.

It was unexpected,
But I always should have known,
That you would lead a shortened life coz your light was running low.

Felt I was one with you, and you reassured my head,
Didn't seem the same when you were lying in your bed.
No trips to our secret place since you left me on my own,
You said that you would never leave and your soul would linger on.

It was unexpected,
But I always should have known,
That you would lead a shortened life as your light was running low.

You should have told me when,
When you decided to give in.
I wasn't ready for the blow,
And now my sun has turned to snow.

Cut out your pictures now I know that you are near.
Tack them into the frame for now, as I know you won't be here.

. . .


People are always saying how do you do to you, and they don't know what's on your mind.
You'll get fat running on the beaten track, coz dice can change your mind.
Well I rolled it a long the floor one night and have you ever been a bad bad man?
Caught up in the beat she had the devils dancing feet, as the tears flew to lover's eyes.
The same thing happens every morning and I know the reason why,
The sun goes down and the council lights go on and everybody's sky high with sedatives and authority to cry.

People are always saying how do you do to me, they need to speak what's on their mind
You roll the dice and you don't think twice if this can change your life
Well I rolled a high and it made me feel alive I tell you man I nearly died
It made me think what's worse broken promise or my bones, and the bruising of my pride knocked me off my side.

The same thing happens every evening and I know the reason why
The sun goes down and the council lights go on and everybody's left standing round the fire with the same old song.

You've got to change
You've got to change
You've got to change
You've got to change
Don't let them tell you that you don't matter, life's more than a chip shop wrapper!
And then they don't like what you do.

People are always saying how do you do to me, but they don't know what's on my mind
You'll get fat running on the beaten track, this dice can change your life
And my distress is overshadowed with every evening, now I've found the will to try.
The master of disaster left the room the morning after that boy has risen away today.
Now the sun comes up and now the weekends at your feet, son this live served you up one hell of a treat.

We roll we dance we duck we dive we twist and tilt
We roll we dance we duck we twist and tilt
roll we dance we duck we twist and tilt
We roll we dance we duck we twist and tilt

And I'll never do the dance of guilt again
Oh oh you're my best friend
oh you're my best friend
To the bitter end

. . .


A simple hug keeps you safe from the frost,
We love to love when were living with the both of us.
As this twin channel is the symphony.

This is love it's fallen from above,
Maybe I don't say it enough no,
But you know you mean the world to me.

Done a lot of growing up in this last year,
I've lost my mind and I fear so,
Will I be dead and buried?

I never claimed to be no angel though,
I tell you in the songs I wrote,
The glass went smash that was in the past but hay.......you know you mean the world to me.

I was in a bad place sent on a goose chase,
Was running on the long blue mile of sweet disgrace,
I'm taking this time to say sorry,
This time to say sorry
(Full of drunken sorry's)

Wasted tears cast shadows on the years,
And silhouettes of arguments are always near,
A most unnecessary worry,
(Unnecessary worry)
The fear creates the spaces for the races we can never win.

I never claimed to be no angel though,
I tell you in the songs I wrote,
The glass went smash that was in the past n hay.
You know you mean the world to me
You know you mean the world to me
You know you mean the world to me
You know you mean the world.

So I'll try,
Something spontaneous,
Maybe a little obscene,
And hilarious,
But with empathy,
The most caring way I know how to say coz it's change today.

Titans clashed did you have a good laugh?
I was in the wrong place when the glass went smash.
I never claimed to be no angel though oh oh oh,
We've done this,
We've done that,
It's all gone off the railings shouldn't think about that
We've done this,
We've done that,
It's all gone off the railings shouldn't think about that

Never claimed to be an angel though,
I tell you in the songs I wrote.

The glass went smash that was in the past but hey
We should never dim the lights.

. . .


Blind Pew he covers you with colours of the night you'll never meet him in the carnival. Taggada takes the Jakeys for a ride.
And Long John Silver is one of the few that Robbie Stevenson could champion even though the man was fake made up the kind you'd never expect to shoot one of their inmates.

The horizontal stripes will lead you to the west
The vertical hill town huns will leave you own back with your tannadiction chest.

The weakest character in this chapter loves dairy, shadows never shone.
I never met a pretty creature who would crumble at the outcome of a cow,
How come you would tell me farmers never bow.
Metaphors are easy just to talk about it, growing up with spacers I can live without

Fifteen holes is never worth a stolen bike just waiting for a different cunt to say what to write.
There will never be a colour in the sea if you don't have no eyes to see so please don't dwell upon your wooden leg, your limp is boring me.

You see your wallpaper was red polluted with lesbian green.
Red was never your colour it was never your team.
Blue it never even crossed your mind because you never flew a flight,
Golden treasure left you blind.

Fifteen holes is never worth a stolen bike your just waiting for a different cunt to say what to write.
There will never be a colour in the sea if you have not eyes to see.
So don't dwell upon your wooden leg, your fucking limp is boring me.

. . .


Dug too deep into illuminatti
Rather have found out from the sleaziest paparazzi
Want to bet check the internet
It's something that I'd show you but its something that you might regret so don't check just yet.

These cats are out to wipe out the nation
These pricks use us to fund their NASA station so.

We tell another constantly
But shady'd telepathically
Do it through the telephone
Sending cheap lies through there home.
We tell another constantly
But shady'd telepathically
Do it through the telephone
Sending cheap lies through there home.

Jimmy simmer down I don't believe for one second,
Lies like that are made up to suck people like you in,
So don't bite the bate son

I've still not seen this documentary it puts down priests and that's something that I'm not into, I won't begin to.
You talk so much of depopulation,
Won't come to Dundee so I don't see why your caring so.

We tell another constantly
Shady'd telepathically
Do it through the telephone
Sending cheap lies through our homes

Still not seen this documentary
Puts down priests I can't begin to.
I've known you since elementary
I never asked you to grow cold
I only told you coz your close to me......we argue...

With one another constantly
When it's really not our place to say.
We do it through the telephone sending cheap lies through our home.

We tell each other constantly
When it's really not our place to say.
We do it through the telephone and no ones ever wrong.

. . .


I'll pull my covers off my lady in the night,
To see the cold reaction when she realises actions I've taken,
To start conversation.

They tell me hope that really pulls the strings the most,
Clever little words from the boring little boy in the corner,
We love one another.

I never asked you to come here,
And no one asked you to come here,
They're saying words people don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
So stop shouting.

A piece of mind it carries tension up the stream,
The truth can pierce a hole right through the dingy little boat you sailed in on,
And the one you'll go down on.

Oh what an awful way to throw away the day,
Your season is colliding with the evil massive things you're providing,
No way you can hide in.

No one asked you to come here,
No one asked you to come here,
They're saying words that we don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear,
So stop shouting.

I never asked you to come here,
And no one asked you to come here,
They're saying things that we don't wanna hear,
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear
We don't wanna hear

Exceptions are creative in your sister's way,
Your mother won't approve of these newfound days,
Think of no one but your little selfish mind,
And always think of no one.

I pull my covers off my lady in the night,
To see the cold reaction when she realises actions I've taken,
To start conversation,
To start conversation.

. . .


I was taught a lesson by these cobbled streets that it's the company you keep not the people you meet.
Chimney smoke you made me look like a joke torrential rain oh no.
You made my mind choke.

Stop signs, oh you're red and white coloured dots in the middle made me realise I'm high as a kite.
Do you think I'll be sleeping on my own tonight?

Double yellow lines by the side of the road,
Yellow lines will you carry me home,
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight.

And there's the fire brigade the working class parade,
I chased you down the street.
And with a laugh and a smile you tilted your hat to greet me.
There's the old streetlight that taught me my minds all right, its more important than a fist and a fight.
Do you think I should go home to my mother tonight?

Double yellow lines by the side of the road
Yellow lines will you carry me home
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight

Are your dreams written on a blackboard in chalk, or are they carved into stone.
Stand in a row
The primary colour
.........................
The yellow and the reds make sense...........

Double yellow lines by the side of the road
Yellow lines will you carry me home
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight

Double yellow lines by the side of the road
Yellow lines will you carry me home
Yellow lines by the side of the road take me home tonight

Tell you the same thing that they told me
Are you worth your weight in gold?
Should I practice what I preach man?
Should I just do what I’m told?
Because the clock keeps ticking
Lets hope we don't grow old ... oooooooh

Whoa-o-oh (3x)
Oh oh oh oh

Tell them the same thing that you told me,
are you worth your weight in gold?
Should I practice what I preach man?
Should I just do what I’m told?
High court jury! would you scream guilty?
I'd never claim somebody used me,
I used to be so filthy

And are you happy when they tell you?
Should it worry you at all?
Does it help you when they preach man?
Does it mend your broken bones?
You know they say that I'm a lightweight,
well the worry weighs a ton.
If i make it to the top don't come and save me,
cause I'll be at the bottom having fun

With a little bit shock shock horror
A limp jumped body on the floor
A f-cked up old school friend
and a kicked down door.
And the boy can sing (And the boy can sing)
The boy can dance (The boy can dance)
Misplaced a whole week man
Left out the romance

Love yeah not what you've bought or sold
I'm not a rat, this life it shouldn't be a race man!
Do you really make the money then go home?
Don’t even accuse me cause I'll go on the run,
but i suppose it'd be easy where to find me
cause I'll be at the bottom having fun

With a little bit shock shock horror
A limp jumped body on the floor
A f-cked up old school friend
and a kicked down door.
And the boy can sing (boy can sing)
The boy can dance (boy can dance)
Misplaced a whole week man
Left out the romance

And I feel sorry for you man, I feel sorry for you man
I feel sorry for you man you forgotten how to clap your hands
I feel sorry for you man, ah
I feel sorry for you man, ah
I feel sorry for you man you forgotten how to clap your hands
(repeat 3x)

Tell them the same thing that they told me!

. . .


Man with a crown, the one that always frowns,
I'd rather have a hat, than a broken back.
Show you a man with a lot on his mind,
I'll show you a self confessed trendsetter oh, because the man said no.

Live like a king for a day, skint for the rest of the week.
Say your nothing special, say your lying through your teeth.
It's just our way, why should we throw away a sunny day?
We should not!
It's just our way, why should we throw away a sunny day?

It's the realisation your not ten feet tall, the realisation you don't know it all.
World domination makes you feel so small,
Realisation of it all.

Stealing, coppers off your mantelpiece.
Stumbling through life without one good deed, and you're not living for tomorrow, dealing with some sorrow.
Competing with the neighbours, waiting for that six number saviour oh.

Buy some brew with some ill gained currency what a nice way to spend every day never had beamer, never been a dreamer.
Your barks worse than, worse than your bite, why should we throw away a sunny day? The night has overcome your apocalyptic way.

It's the realisation your not ten feet tall, the realisation you don't know it all.
World domination makes you feel so small,
Realisation of it all.

Realisation your not ten feet tall, realisation you don't know it all
World domination makes you feel so small,
Realisation of it all.

Take for granted Eagers omen,
Stories lost its moment.

Take for granted Eagers omen,
Stories lost its moment.

Take for granted Eagers omen,
Dryburgh Stories lost its moment.

He said he does so I believe him
He said he won't, Kyle won't deny his desperate brother, he's asked his mother
She won't believe him.

He said we're going so I followed him,
He said we're leaving to fulfil this addiction lady,
He claims his crazy, should I believe him?

We're jumping tubes and chasing papers,
Bumped into chancers stealing minutes from me and the midnight ravers,
They've done no favours,
So I'll believe him.

Your wrinkles document the age of your eyes,
Her words they bring us even closer to her lies.

He's having rants and pulling faces,
He's picking fights with different races,
But still not me so I'll still believe him.

The train has stopped we're at the station,
The sweat is pouring but not from me,
You see my minds been snoring,
I find it boring,
I believe him.

The lady elder said that the water was fine,
But she never thought to mention we were partners in her crime.

Please give back the sun
Coz it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel

We've entered in naive Dundee boys,
No one is in no one but you boys,
We're not charging, no forceful bargains
So we believed her.

The kettle burns with no distinction,
The pimp was raging,
The lad was pacing in the basin the fears injected into me,
Coz I believed him.

Intimidation isn't meant for the young, your plan was buggered up and ken we never sang the songs you sung.

So please give back the sun,
Coz it's the only one I've ever learned to know,
And I promise I'll never return,
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel.

I hope you never escape from me now,
Because sincerity is sleeved out in this song,
I hope your family don't look down on me now
I hope you never think of me wrong
Because the pretty little vibe we had going on it takes a chunk out of me but all the..........
You can't dwell up on the OVER-understatement of the Aremsee

So please give back the sun
Coz it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel

So please give back the sun
Coz it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that under-crowded Camden cheap hostel

So please give back the sun
Coz it's the only one I've ever learned to know
And I promise I'll never return
To that anti-classic cindered rank hostel

And it made her conscious to me

. . .


Regulars reach for wonders desires,
Fed up with rain n forest fires,
There's nothing bold enough to say there is nothing at all.
These days are going fine, she's not a friend of mine,
There's nothing said so sweet,
Can anyone hear me?

I never wrote these lines see there rise from beyond,
See a friend of mine has a gift of song,
Delivered well, delivered clear my bird is singing in my ear.

I have a gem of a bird, sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words,
The most magnificent words,
She puts the pen and the paper in my hand, says things she does not think I understand,
But I know better than her.

Envision the position in the lower class den,
Think once then think again.
Money first then devastation
Won't pull these times are changing,
These days are going fine, you're not a friend of mine,
There's nothing said so sweet,
Can anyone hear me?

I never wrote these lines see there rise from beyond,
See a friend of mine has a gift of song,
Delivered well, delivered clear my bird is singing in my ear.

I have a gem of a bird, sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words,
The most magnificent words,
She puts the pen and the paper in my hands, says things she does not think I understand,
But I know better than her.

And I tell you there's no one stealing Jupiter from me and I'll tell you there's no one sings in better harmony,
No spaces for fickle minds on Kye Kye to fucking disagree.

I have a gem of a bird, sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words
The most magnificent words,
She puts the pen and the paper in my hands, says things she does not think I understand,
But I know better than her.

I have a gem of a bird, sits in my pocket whispers to me wonderful words
The most magnificent words,
I have a gem of a bird,
I have a gem of a bird,
But I know better than her
