LYRICS 401

Picture in the frame, it’s hanging
Frame on the wall, it’s hanging
Wall on the window hanging
Window in the frame, it’s hanging

The composition’s lacking
The foreground and the background
Wrapped around and rewound
Back around

If it gets uneasy
Does it matter if there’s nobody there?
It’s not hard to please me
So pick it over and we’ll do it again

Message in a cork for someone
Someone at the door for someone
Someone, something, whatever
This list could go on forever

Why even bother knowing?
But if you’re on your knees
I’d like to know the reason
If there’s one

If it gets uneasy
Does it matter if there’s nobody there?
It’s not hard to please me
So pick it over and we’ll do it again

(break)

Don’t get me wrong, Kevin
Don’t treat me light, Kevin
It’s just not right, Kevin
Every day’s a fight, Kevin

I’ve seen the end, Kevin
More of this again, Kevin
I’ve seen the end
Just more of this again

(instr)

There’s Patrick in the hall, he’s Swaizey
And the kids in the hall go crazy
But I’m too tired and lazy

The lion and the tin man
Waiting for a brain scan
Trying to find his reason
Looking for a heart
It’s left him

If it gets uneasy
Does it matter if there’s nobody there?
It’s not hard to please me
So pick it over and we’ll do it again

Please understand, Kevin
Not every man, Kevin
Has a leg to stand, Kevin
I’m made of sand, Kevin

This isn’t right, Kevin
Every day’s a fight, Kevin
It’s my life, Kevin
You don’t what it’s like, Kevin

You see those keys, Kevin?
You see that road, Kevin?
‘bout time you leave, Kevin
‘bout time you know, Kevin

Don’t get me wrong, Kevin
Don’t treat me light, Kevin
It’s my life, Kevin
You oughta see what it’s like, Kevin

They got the compound lock-tight
So stay on my good side
They got the guard on all night
So stay on my good side

I know it’s not much of a lie
That I’m a skiving parasite
Now tell me everything is alright
And stay on my good side

Whether I have any value
Nobody can really tell you

Things are strained between you and I
We each one know what the other’s like
Things are strained between you and I
You don’t know wrong, I don’t do right

Ask me honestly
Did you find me, follow me?
Did you get what you came for?
Are you down in your up-time?

And if you stray when you only want to stay down
And you wait when you want to make time
Your time is an anvil
So stay on my good side

Seems to be that life is sacred
But depending what your name is

(chorus)

And is it actually possible
To live in common decency?
I don’t know
And I don’t really care

All great minds think alike
All great bores act alike
You can leave if you like
But I can never leave

(chorus)

Things are strained between you and I
My weakness and my alibi
Things are strained between you and I

Saw it move, whatever it was
Up as high as ever it was
Lie her on her back, tip her up on the side
I’ve got a smile it’s three miles wide

Everybody’s on it, everybody’s on it, everybody’s on it
Everybody’s on it, everybody’s on it

Big bag mephedrone, I’m gonna bosh the lot
Big bag of skunk weed, I’m gonna bosh the lot

We smoke, we smoke, we smoke, we smoke
We smoke, we smoke, we smoke, we smoke

We all love our miracle grow
Make our flowers grow so
We all love our miracle grow
Lately nervous, oh no

Letter from the bank, sorry, what did it say?
A letter from the bank, what? Read it again
This one’s worth its weight in asking
Am I back at the start, am I up at the end?

Everybody’s on it, everybody’s on it, everybody’s on it
Everybody’s on it, everybody’s on it

Big bag mephedrone, I’m gonna bosh the lot
Big bag of skunk weed, I’m gonna bosh the lot

We smoke, we smoke, we smoke, we smoke
We smoke, we smoke, we smoke, we smoke

(chorus – instr)

Big bag mephedrone, I’m gonna bosh the lot
Big bag of skunk weed, I’m gonna bosh the lot x 2

We smoke, we smoke, I’m gonna bosh the lot x 4

Bring the flag for me, I come, the king of nothing
You’d better dot your T’s because around here that’s the done thing
And cross your I’s because for me that’s always something
What does it matter if it all adds up to nothing?

I can’t stand it anymore
I’m bored

Don’t roll your eyes at the king’s opinion
Don’t cut your nose and take a photo
Don’t bring your dick to the razor party x 2

I see your face, man, it’s as if you didn’t know
Those little eyes like fireflies, just look at how they glow
It seems you’ve got a dream inside of you
The thing about me, I know about dreams, I could tell a thing or two

‘D’ is for ‘Dreaming’
‘D’ is for ‘Disaster’
Dig?

(chorus / solo)

All the shrewd ones and the tin cans
And the weather girls and the rain mans
I bet you live in a stupid flat somewhere

And the deft hands and the Calibans
And the did-exams and the also-rans
I bet you live in a stupid flat somewhere

And the hip cats in the flat caps
When they act like they know where it’s at
But I bet they live in a stupid flat somewhere

And those doe-eyed dreamers will never lead us
They’ll drown in tax, they’ll give up, relax
And go and live in a stupid flat somewhere

Now I bet you’re thinking “Could it be
that none of this relates to me?
I’ve got my life, I’ve got my friends
And see I was never mentioned then

“I had my lessons, I was burnt
I took them on, I grew, I learnt
Anyway it doesn’t matter now because
I’m not the way that I once was

“I was oh so different then
But now I’m all like coloured-in
And I illuminate the world with my me-ness
My unique-ness, my great-ness, my special-ness
And it’s a secret more or less…”

But I know that you think like that
You’re just another thick-attack
Like me and all the other twats
A puppet, just like Postman Pat
And I bet you live in a stupid flat somewhere

(chorus)

Don’t criticize the illuminati
Don’t share your coke with the paparazzi
Don’t kick the man that does karate
Don’t bring your dick to the razor party x 4

Do do do do do…

Before you open up to me again I’d like say
I hope you think about these things you tend to say
Don’t sound off because you can

When you run your mouth to speak about what you don’t know much about
It breaks me each and every time you run your mouth
I wasn’t bored but now I am

Can’t you think of something good to say?
I didn’t think so

To the left, to the left
To the right, to the right
I don’t need no-one
I feel alright

It’s not what you do
It’s how you look like
I don’t need no-one
I feel alright

I can’t remember who it was that said that two’s enough
There’s one bird goes inside your hand and the other’s in the bush
I like to quote them when I can

Now when you have a point to make you scream until you’re blue
I’ve got my reasons I’m excused, but what happened to you?
You wandered in a different man

People often tell you what they think
Fuck them

(chorus / instr / chorus)

Take your hands off me
Take your eyes off me
This ain’t no fashion pageant
I ain’t no beauty queen

To the left, to the left
To the right, to the right
I don’t need no-one

Do do do do do…
