I'll take her down to the punk rock show won't be like nothing she aint ever seen.
It's 12 now and we've gotta get to London. There's my car do you wanna get in?
I'll let you ride in the front seat baby, let you choose the radio.
She looks good I know she wouldn't fake it so we're heading out of town. Let's go.
Pull up late to the venue leather jackets and bleached blonde hair.
She starts to freak 'oh you know I won't fit in!', do you think that I even care?
Band's playing I know that she likes it cos she's doing the pogo.
Buying drinks and dancing with the rockers glad I'm with her yeah you know.
...
You can talk all night
tell me everything that I should know.
Baby I know it makes sense but I've got this problem with my neural flow.
Keep talking, keep it up, put away the facts and disregard the truth
The world outside is telling me I should do something
Well I'm standing here right now, doing just fine with you.

Never thought there'd be so many choices
I never knew I'd have a debt to pay
To this world I owe nothing
Apart from my existence living everyday.
Beginning life can be a mess
You're gonna have to shoulder stress
Your words and actions won't mean shit
If you can't make the best of it
You won't know what's buried deep inside
Until you take a good look at your life
Never thought there'd be so many answers
Everybody's got their point of view
Walking in between the cracks and falsehoods
Determining the truth is up to you
Stop and take the time to see it for what it is
It's a chance to prove yourself - you're gonna get just what you give.
You won't know what's buried deep inside
Until you take apart the fabric of your life
Walking round in circles you've got to take control
Do what you wanna do
By others don't be told
It's time to walk straight.
Do what you want
Don't be put off
By those you hate
Fuck your best mate
No excuses
Don't feel useless
Life will go by
I'll say I tried.

Never gonna fall in love

This is how it starts I know I'm gonna give in
You've got some charms and I've just got to get in
Involved with you, got such a pretty face
But a girl like you is gonna leave a bad taste
In my. stomach
Saw you from afar, you know my heart shook
To it's core, blood in my fingers
With a girl like you the pain lingers
It's becoming my master plan
My obsession with you I've got my head in the sand
Never thought you'd be 'my best friend'
Make a mess of my life to make you understand
Girl I'd do anything
Got this gun to my head cos you're not listening
Oh please don't walk away
But she turns back to him she's going back for more
I'll say she didn't mean a thing just like her friends before.
Now we've made a start and things are going great
What was the name of that guy, the one you used to date?
He's gone so long, he doesn't matter now
Saw the stars in your eyes, my wish came true somehow.
I call, phone rings
But something has gone wrong she's not answering.
I'm fucked. Love struck.
Stronger than cyanide is that punch in the gut
When you know you've lost
Cos a face like that comes for a cost
A boy will cry
He never wanted to be in love
he wanted somewhere to crawl inside and die.

Anti-social life

It's kind of funny when I sit around
All these thoughts just flying round
What am I living in?
In a coma, worse than it was before
Reality is at my door, but no-one's listening.
It's kind of hard when you're socially inept
and your brain just won't accept all this new information.
My will - he left and my brain is such a mess
Need to be mentally cleansed just to find myself now.
It's kind of awkward, cos I've seen you before
And you found me such a bore. That's not my fault it's yours.
Cos you're a fucker, another average prick
oh please tell me what makes you think I wanna be your friend?
It's so frustrating don't wanna spend my whole life lonely
But it is so hard relating find it hard communicating.
I'm out of action my brain is starved of satisfaction
I need some interaction
I need somebody like me.
Is anybody like me?
It seems that everytime I try to pretend I'm in the right crowd
That my brain is on the attack once again I'm facing meltdown
Would it be a sin if I could fit in with these guys?
But do I really wanna be just like them?
I think I'm gonna get lost.

Alicia

Not very long ago I met a beautiful girl at a punk rock show
I would do anything for her, more than anyone could know
If I could be there again, there is nothing I wouldn't do
I drank a glass of piss for a kiss from Alicia.
I was a man in love with a time and a place and this goddess above
Right there and then I knew that no one else could be enough for me.
Looking back on those days, there is nowhere I'd rather be
I drank a glass of piss to get a piss from Alicia.
I guess that nothing lasts, not the girl or the place or the pissy glass.
It was a remnant of time, a time that faded all too fast.
