The Wolf

Over the hill there is a wolf who likes the look of me
I see the danger In his eye
I hold my breath and steady myself oh half-heartedly
Well Mr Wolf I see you’re just In time
I huff and puff as he is still tearing me to pieces
I’ve had this date for quite a while he saw my weakness
As I see limb from limb separate before me
There’s nowhere else that I feel I should be
Down by the sea there is wave that’s heading straight for me
I sense the danger deep within
I take a breath and steady myself oh half-heartedly
And then that wave comes crashing in
I huff and puff as he’s still tearing me to pieces
I’ve had this date for quite a while he saw my weakness
As I see limb from limb separate before me
There’s nowhere else that I feel I should be
Oh na na na
Oh na na na yeah
I huff and puff as he is tearing me to pieces
I’ve had this date for quite a while he saw my weakness
As I see limb from limb separate before me
There’s nowhere else that I feel I should be
Nowhere else I should be
Nowhere else, where I
I should be
Nowhere else, where I
I should be
Nowhere else, nowhere else, nowhere else

Bells & Whistles

Slam on the brakes there’s 10 foot truck
and it’s jack-knifed in the road
Happy the man who gets out on time
and is still speeding on to home
What should you do as the smoke fills up
and the door’s stuck,all alone allalone
It’s getting hot and It’s getting hot and it might explode
but I still rather be here on my own
Blow off all your bells and whistles
Pick the weeds and not the rose
Coz I feel more like being a weirdo
Blow yourself coz I am going home
Get out, get out there’s a big flash flood
and there’s water to my knees
I’ve been asleep in the sett too long,
now I can barely breathe
Shore up the walls but you’re still displeased
oh please stop badgering me
Get on my knees for a sweet escape
where I can be out, oh I can be free
Blow off all your bells and whistles
Pick the weeds and not the rose
Coz I feel more like being a weirdo
Blow yourself coz I am going home
Get out my head and I am on the run

Life On Repeat

Jane looks up, it’s nearly dawn
Grin is fixed, her skin is drawn
She lets him finish, feeling nothing at all
David’s bored, his secret chord,
The sling that slew the giant before
Dangles useless by his boots in the hall
Another notch, another night up the wall
Is that all?
Another song, the night is long
What could possibly go wrong?
Turn it on, tune out and scribble your scrawl
Just a cheap line, she says she’s fine,
It’ll be different this time
Knowing nothing really changes at all
Beat yourself up and you’re climbing the walls
What’s it for?
Father please
Don’t wanna live life on repeat
On our knees
And in the dark we can’t see
The way the wheels turn
The world is burning round our feet
Still we can’t accept the heat
The bitter taste, of bitumen,
We buy the lies of bitter men,hnj
Should know better, but we swallow them all
We’re tarred the same, always game,
We burn the midnight oil again,
Scrap and scrape the bag and barrel for more
Stick our heads in sand to settle the score
What’s it for?
Father please
Don’t wanna live life on repeat
On our knees
And in the dark we can’t see
The way the wheels turn
The world is burning round our feet
Still we can’t accept the heat
