Lyrics 

Get That Thing

 

VERSE 1

Me, I’m just myself

No extra options here, one off the shelf

Making the most, of what I’ve got

On good days I might even think I’ve got a lot

 

Yeah, oh

Yeah…..

 

VERSE 2

You, are not like the rest

Unique, original, truly  blessed 

Yes you, my crazy friend 

Came from a distant star

Let’s not pretend 

 

CHORUS 

Can you tell me where to find it

Maybe it could work for me

Can you tell me where to find it

Show me where to go

I just got to know

 

Where did you get that thing

Tell me where did you get that thing

 

VERSE 3

When, you do your thing

There’s something other worldly that you bring

Like watching the man, walk on the moon or

Like the shivers you get down your spine when you hear a great tune

Yeah, oh

Yeah

 

BRIDGE

I know it when I see it

Not everyone can be it

Gravity defying ….is how it looks to me

Did you find the secret

Is that what made you strong

Maybe I’m wrong

Maybe I’m wrong

 

VERSE 4

It’s not here It’s not there

I can’t seem to find it anywhere

Now it’s ok, for Gods like you

But what are the rest of  us mere mortals supposed to do? 

Custom Made

 

VERSE 1

Custom made and guaranteed

And very soon you will see exactly what I mean

Custom made and guaranteed

You know I try to give ya

A different way to be

 

CHORUS 1

But if you just want ordinary

Don’t come to me

Cos I got  custom made (guaranteed)

Custom made (guaranteed)

Custom made (guaranteed)

Custom made and guaranteed by me

 

VERSE 2

Custom made comfortable and fast

Custom made designed and built to last

Well I don’t mean to brag and beat my drum

But I feel the need to tell ya, just where I’m coming from

 

CHORUS 2

But if you just want imitation

Don’t come to me

My work is custom made (guaranteed)

Custom made (guaranteed)

Custom made and guaranteed by me

 

BRIDGE

If my fee seems  a little high

And you might question why

Well what you get is

One of a kind

Very rare and hard to find

Let me say to you

With confidence strong and true

Satisfaction’s guaranteed

When you take delivery

 

CHORUS 3

And if you don’t want something different

Don’t come to me

My work is custom made (guaranteed)

Custom made (guaranteed)

Custom made and guaranteed by me

Somebody To Rely On

 

CHORUS INTRO

What just happened, what did they say?

Did I miss something?

Have I been betrayed?

Give me one thing that I can believe.

And I want somebody to rely on.

 

VERSE 1+2

The wind is blowing 

And I don’t know, what’s coming my way

Feels like disaster

Might be nothing

I just can’t say

 

My head is hurting

And I get nervous reading the signs

Who can I turn to?  

Someone with the answers

That I cannot find

 

PRE CHORUS

One selfless gesture

That would be fine

One good intention

That wasn’t a lie

Just one glimpse

Of a visionary mind

But no, no, no no no

 

CHORUS

I need some medicine to ease the pain

Not empty promises again and again

And give me one damn winter that will bring us some rain

And I want  somebody to rely on.

 

VERSE 3

I feel uncertain

Like nothing’s working

Living this way

 

Is this game over?

Feels like it’s closer

Every day.

 

PRE CHORUS

I went to the doctor

‘Said “what have I got”

He took one look and said

“You got a lot”

I said “please can you help me, I feel so alone”

He said “you’re not, you’re not, you’re not, 

 

CHORUS

I need some medicine to ease the pain

Not empty promises again and again

Give me one damn winter that will bring us some rain

And I want somebody to rely on.

 

 

PRE CHORUS

One selfless gesture

That would be fine

One good intention

That isn’t a lie

Just one glimpse

Of a visionary mind

But no, no, no no no

 

CHORUS

I need  some medicine to ease the pain

Not empty promises again and again

Give me one damn winter that will bring us some rain

And I want somebody to rely on.

Slippers

VERSE

You feel old

Your feet are cold

You don’t know 

Where your slippers have gone

 

What went wrong

You were strong  

Before long

You’ll be dead in the ground

 

There’s no plan

To understand  

But guess what?

Good news is at hand

 

Your slippers are in the bathroom where you left them

 

VERSE

You worked hard

Punched the card

Built a  world

No one could see

 

What’s all this?

What did you miss?

Are you not pleased?

With all of these gifts?

 

You’re worn down

Sad frown

Lost and alone

But look what you found

 

Your slippers are in the bathroom where you left them

 

BRIDGE

Everybody gets has their turn

You, me, them

Everybody gets their turn

 

They hear  you

They see you 

Go on, crazy   child

Oh everybody has their turn

 

VERSE

You had love

And you had youth

Now carry this….

It’s the weight of the truth

 

You old fool

What did you do

You got carried away with your  rules

You said what?

They wouldn’t know

They got their own fires burning

And they don’t wanna go

 

Your slippers are in the bathroom where you left them.

Keep It Up

Keep it up

Don’t you ever let it down 

Keep it up

Even when no ones around

 

Sooner or later

Temptation will call

You need defences

Or you’ll fall

 

Keep it up 

Don’t you ever let it down

Keep it up

Don’t you ever let it down

 

Keep it up

Everybody’s watching you

Keep it up

You know what you have to do

 

Sooner or later

There’ll be a fight

Between what you want and what is right

 

Keep it up

Don’t you ever let it down

Keep it up

Don’t you ever let it down

Just Go

 

VERSE 1

To late

They don’t understands you

It’s too late

 

Their world

You’re never gonna fit into

Their world

 

CHORUS 1

Go, there’s nothing to fear

Apart from the nothing that waits for you here.

Go,   as fast as you can

Don’t let this place enslave you.  

Go, discover the other,  just go

 

VERSE 2

This place

They’ll never speak your language in

This place

but

One day

They’re gonna hear about you

One day

 

CHORUS 2

Go, follow the sound

There ain’t no point in you hanging around

Go, there’s no light in here

Time to step out of  the shadow

Go, see that horizon? Just go.

 

BRIDGE

Go move the world around you

Go, this   place will surround you 

and drown you

 

VERSE 3

Wake up

You’re getting in to deep now

Wake up

No one

No one’s gonna save you

No one

 

CHORUS 3

Go, do what you do

Just like the others who went before you

Go, be what you are

Let nothing stand in your way

Go, make up your own rules, just go

 

BRIDGE

Go move the world around you

Go, or this place will surround you 

and drown you

 

CHORUS 4

Go, there’s nothing to fear

Apart from the nothing that waits for you here.

Go,   as fast as you can

Don’t let this place enslave you.  

Go, discover the other,  just go

 

CHORUS 5

Go, or you won’t be found

Go find your spaceship and get off the ground

You know, there ain’t nothing here

Slowly you’ll start disappearing     

Go, just make it so, go

Money 

VERSE

Money, you’re so unkind

Maybe one day you’ll change your mind

If not we’re through

 

Money, You know how hard I’ve tried

I wait for you to decide

When you’re coming home

 

B Section

I sold my soul

I think you know

And now  you owe me something for it

Don’t you?

Truth be told

What hurts me so

Are all your other lovers

Must you be so cold?

 

Can’t you give me something?

 

Money, don’t make me chase you ‘round like before

Don’t think I can take anymore

I’ll give you this last chance

 

VERSE

Money, I know you lied 

Still I love deep down inside

So faithfully

 

Money, I remember your smile

Now you’re laughing at me all the while

But I still believe

 

B Section (breakdown?)ww

I sold my soul

I think you know

And now  you owe me something for it

Don’t you?

Truth be told

What hurts me so

Are all your other lovers

Must you treat me so cold?

 

Can’t you give me something

 

VERSE OUT

Money, don’t make me chase you ‘round like before

I just can’t take anymore

I’ll give you this one last chance

Welcome To My Hell

VERSE             

Welcome to my hell

A sorry tale to tell

The evidence was clear

Your very welcome here

 

CHORUS                         

I made this bloody mess

This is not my best……….work

I think we can agree

That’s enough of me

But you’ll do very well

Welcome to my hell

 

VERSE

Welcome to my hell

I think it’s time to sell

I know I’ll get much less

But it’s what I’m worth I guess

 

CHORUS

Self pity’s such a bore

But I don’t care no more

And I alone am to blame

I’m so glad you came

I know that you’ll do well

Welcome to my hell

 

VERSE

Welcome to my hell

I stumbled tripped and fell

Lying on the ground

Lucky to be found

 

LAST CHORUS                

There’s no need to explain

This is not my game

No I never had a chance

Bad luck and circumstance

And all the while I’ve known

This world can be so fine

But it never really mine   

I hope that you do well

Welcome to my hell

Mark Against Your Name

 

Did you know?

Did you know

You’re too slow

Way too slow

 

You don’t know?

You didn’t know?

You’re too slow

And you won’t do nothing about it

 

CHORUS

That’s another

Yeah another

That’s another

Mark against your name

 

That’s another

Yet  another

You got another

Mark against your name

 

VERSE 2

Worst of all

Worst of all

You’re too tall

Way too tall

 

Worst of all

Most of all

You’re too tall

Tell me what’s wrong with being small?

 

CHORUS

That’s another

Yeah another

That’s another

Mark against your name

 

That’s another

Yet  another

You got another

Mark against your name

 

VERSE 3

One last thing

One last thing

You can’t sing

Please don’t sing

 

One last thing

One final thing

You can’t sing

Man it hurts my ears when you sing

She’s  Just  Got  To Win

 

My girl, has got a little problem 

That’s  the way she’s always been

Don’t matter what game we’re playing

She just got to win

 

She’s sweet and kind and gentle

A pussy cat no doubt

But when it comes to competition

The claws are coming out

 

PRE A

Don’t be misled by her beautiful  smile

She’ll work that angle for a while

Then you best take care

 

It won’t take long, you’ll  discover

 

CHORUS

Don’t play, no way

A word to the wise

Beware, of that look in her eyes

Tell you why

She’s just got to win

 

VERSE 2

She might, bend the rules a little 

Being ruthless ain’t no sin

The best way not to be defeated is to

Not let the game begin

 

I know it sounds a bit dramatic

All’s fair in love and war they say

If you don’t heed my warning

You might not live to fight another day

Don’t be surprised if there is blood

It’s just a game it’s gonna get rough

The gloves are coming off

 

It won’t take long, you’ll  discover

 

CHORUS

Don’t play, no way 

A word to the wise

Beware, of that look in her eyes

Tell you why

She’s just got to win

You’re not the first and you won’t be the last

To fall under the spell she casts 

The end is coming fast

 

It won’t take long, you’ll  discover

 

CHORUS

Don’t play, no way 

A word to the wise

Beware, of that look in her eyes

Tell you why

Don’t play, no way 

A word to the wise

Beware, of that look in her eyes

Tell you why

She’s just got 

She’s just got to win.

To The Coast

VERSE 1

I took a drive out to the coast

That’s the place I like the most

When I stare out too the sea

Feels like it’s calling back to me

 

CHORUS

Water water everywhere

I walk the shore without a care

Ain’t nobody else around

I listen to the wavy sound

 

VERSE 2

 

The earth and pavement have disappeared

There’s light blue happy, and deep blue fear

I see this monumental change

And I wanna be the same 

 

That’s the life I wanna live

This is where freedom is

 Now’s the time to change my ways

I make big plans on these beach days

 

VERSE 4

Resolutions, salt and sand 

Start to fade, back on dry land

These are what I miss the most

Until I drive back to the coast

 

CHORUS

Water water everywhere

I walk the shore without a care

Ain’t nobody else around

I listen to the wavy sound

 

Haven’t felt this way for years.                

The ocean gives me new ideas

Worlds evolve as I suspend

I make big plans with my blue friend.              

VERSE 3

I took a drive out to the coast

That’s the place I like the most

When I stare out too the sea

Feels like it’s calling back to me
