Album - These Are The Facts

Lo + Behold

Lo-lo and behold,
Time has taken it’s toll,
You say that you’re in control,
So now’s the time to be bold,
Lo-lo and behold,
Time has taken it’s toll,
You say that you’re in control,
Well I don’t know,

What Will You Do (When The Money Goes)?

I can see a darker side,
I can see it in your eyes,
Maybe things have happened in your life,
And maybe that’s the reason why,
You’re playing for a, one man side,
It’s alright when you’re winning though,
When you lose, you lose alone,

So, what will you do when the money goes?
What will you do when the money goes?

Would you ever want to know my name,
If we hadn’t met this way,
Do you seriously think I believe you,
When you say,
You’re looking out for everyone,
But that can’t be much fun,
Considering you never have before,
But now your intentions must come into question,

What will you do when the money goes?

When all has disappeared,
What will you do when the money goes?
When nothing’s left but souvenirs,
What will you do when the money goes?

Will that be the moment when you realise?
Will that be the moment that you realise that you,
Had better change your ways.

Wolves at Bay

Don’t say that you do,
If you know that you don’t,
Don’t say that you will,
If you know that you won’t,

It’s sim-ply com-mon sense,
When everybody’s scared of consequence,
It’s hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have turned to red,

And try as you may oh you can’t keep the wolves at bay,

Everyone wants’ to discover,
The undiscovered,
And no one’s willing to commit themselves unless their own backs are covered,

It’s hard to make a move,
When everyone is scared that they might lose,
It’s hard to keep your head,
When all around the lights have turned to red,
And try as you may oh you can’t keep the wolves at bay,
You can’t keep the wolves at bay,

Oh what a difference a decade makes,
It’s easy to tell between fools and lies,
All won’t be lost no,
Think, and put out this fire.

Summertime

We only go out in the summertime,
Well it’s gone,
Things don’t look too good from the other side,
But hold on,

Something good, Is on it’s way,
Strong enough, To force a change,

We only go out in the summertime,
(We only go out in the summertime)
Can’t you see the sun here before your eyes,
(We only go out in the summertime)
Suddenly you change,
(We only go out in the summertime)
And everybody’s fine,
(We only go out in the summertime)
We only go out, in the summertime,

Sometimes guilt lays heavy on the mind,
These days,
But who has lived a true and honest life?
Anyway way?

There are questions to be asked,
And attitudes to tame,
What was once part of the charm,
Was now part of the shame,

Because the bomb refused to part,
This bullet has been bitten harder than,
You will ever know.

Lucy Lovemenot

Writes down a note and leaves it waiting on the side,
Put’s her lipstick on and turns off all the lights,
Then it’s out the door,
Onto the floor,
Of every bar in town,
Got to let the fellas know that she still get’s around,

Oh she’s, Lucy Lovemenot,
Oh she’s, Lucy Lovemenot,

Wakes up to find herself in different company,
Last thing that she recalls is dropping to her knees,
Then it’s out the door with no remorse,
Her feelings are regret,
It’s just another memory which helps her to forget,
That she’s, Lucy Lovemenot,
Lucy Lovemenot,

She used to be the girl that all the men pine for,
She used to be the girl that everyone adored,

But now she’s broken and she’s haggard,
But she still likes to pretend,
Everyone wants’ to pull her now, she’s that same girl again,

Oh, Lucy Lovemenot,
Oh, Lucy Lovemenot,
It’s Lucy Lovemenot,

Sinking Ships

I don’t want to talk to you and,
You don’t want to talk to me,
So I’ll shut my eyes and think of England,
While I speak,
You don’t want my photograph,
And I don’t want to know your name,

You say we look the same,
Like, everybody else,
Maybe that’s because we like to keep ourselves to ourselves,
You want something different,
You want something false,
You want your opinion to always be involved,
That won’t last at all,
No that’s not natural,

If you should change your colours,
Or you should change your mind,
I won’t go holding grudges,
Let’s sleep in darks light,

Oh how you’d love it,
If we’d disappeared,
Along the horizon,
Going down like sinking ships,
In the night time,
No one came to save our souls,
No one came to fix the holes,
But we made it back to land,
So if you’ve backed the underdog,
You may collect your winnings,

If you should change your colours,
Or you should change your mind,
I won’t go holding grudges,
Let’s sleep in darks light,

But by the same token,
I cannot forget,
How you hanged your…
Those you don’t respect,
So I will not pretend,
You and I want to be friends,
Cos’ we both know that that would be a lie.

Cowboys and Indians

We used to go out,
Together all the time,
I would look between my fingers while you tried to hide,
When the stars came out,
They would call our names,
We tried to pretend,
That we never heard a thing,

Remember when we could see,
Things as they were meant to be,
I’ll get my gun,
And shoot you down,
And you will hit the ground,

Now I am so vein,
Now I am so tired,
Well looking at my bedroom walls,
I fail to feel inspired,
So knock up on my door,
And I promise this time,
When I’m counting to one hundred I will shut my eyes,

Postcards won’t you write,
I don’t want to be alone tonight,

Remember when we could see,
Things as they were meant to be,
you get your gun,
And shoot me down,
And now I’m on the ground,

Being a Rogue

Put down the phone you,
Know it’s better off that way,
This conversation,
Has gone stale,

I fell sorry, Oh ever so sorry today,
Feeling convicted but nobody’s here to blame,

Walking the line,
Is wearing away my shoes,
I’ll stand aside as all the daggers fly across the room,
As the night grows older the mood becomes bolder and course,
The vultures and spies,
Are out to build houses from straw,
They’ll blow down,
All that is left is the girl,
Wearing a frown,

Can’t you see that I am sincere,
And to believe in all of the stories you hear,
Is their desire, so don’t go fuelling the fire,

Too much to dream you,
Had far too much to dream last night,
And everything you’d learnt to love,
Was taken again by thieves,

Your mind is restless,
Because you never rested at all,
All these illusions,
Confuse your thoughts,
You won’t come round,
All that I see is the girl,
Wearing a frown,

Can’t you see I am sincere,
And to believe in all of the stories you hear,
That would be foolish,
You’d be a fool to fear,
What’s their desire,
So I go fuelling the fire.

Count to 10

Close your eyes and count to ten,
My mind has spoken without asking my mind again,
For the second time today,
I dig a hole that I must fill with an apology,

But now it’s far too late,
Voices declare that they,
Will not negotiate,

They talk of pride before a fall,
Not every battle is critical to win a war,
Tomorrow I know I’ll agree,
But now this stronghold has taken control of me,

And now it’s far too late,
Voices declare that they,
Will not negotiate,
Reason it has been lost,
Somewhere along the way,
You have made your mistake,

Close your eyes and count to ten,
(You must not open them again)??
Close your eyes and count to ten,

Tonight Matthew I’m going to be,
Throwing punches with far too much honesty,
Throwing punches just because,
We’ve come this far now there is no way I’m giving up.

Come Away With Me

I don’t see why people don’t up and walk away,
The nights are long and the days go on,
It’s the same as yesterday,
So let’s disappear,
A thousand miles,
Escape from here,
So let’s disappear let’s go away,

It’s not a crime to comprehend,
It isn’t wrong to realise,
Outside these city walls,
There’s places, open up your eyes,
You’ve thrown away the key,
The door is locked oh you’ll never leave,
As sad as it may seem,
Your here to stay,

The sun may never shine,
The sun may never come out of the sky,
The sun may never shine but still you’ll stay,

So if I go,
Will you come away with me,
Will you come and stay with me,
Wherever I am going to,
We could be strangers,
Me and You,

There’s something enchanting,
Something that I can’t explain, like how,
The eye becomes attracted to
The centre of the frame,
If I should disappear a thousand miles,
Escape from here,
If I should disappear would I feel the same?

The sun may never shine,
The sun may never come out of the sky,
The sun may never shine oh so you think,

Rubicon

We must be shrewd or stupid,
One of the two,
Mistakes are too important,
For us to lose,
But he would have broke your heart,
But she would have lead me down the garden,
They would always leave,
Early in the morning,
No final kiss,
No final warning,

Just as we’re friends today,
Tomorrow we’ll be lovers,
Never to be the same no more, no more,
We’ve crossed the Rubicon,
And we can’t turn our heels,
So it’s onto the breach,
Oh we’ll have to teach ourselves, my love,

And I’ll be telling tales,
If I, claim to be sure,
That this will last forever,
Just look at the way it has gone before,
But he would have broke your heart,
And she would have taken me for granted,
They would always leave early in the morning,
No final kiss,
No final warning,

Genius And The Tramp

There are something’s that you never want to see,
Situations that you struggle to believe,
Now your older,
And I am older too,
There are something’s that you said you’d never do,
But we both know that’s not entirely true,
But you did them,
Didn’t we do them together?

So where did you go?
What do you know?
You can’t hide your head in the clouds forever,
What did we say about drifting away?
We said it won’t happen to us no we’re too clever,
Well I guess we weren’t that clever,

Pieces move and make the picture fall apart,
So you take them and go back to the start,
But it leaves you wondering what you began with,
There were chances that you never seemed to take,
Opportunities were handed on a plate,
Still you sit there,
Waiting for fortune to find you.

So where did you go?
What do you know?
You can’t hide your head in the clouds forever,
What did we say about drifting away?
We said it won’t happen to us cos’ we’re too clever,
Well I guess we weren’t that clever, after all.

You can’t hide your head in the clouds forever,
You can’t hide your head in the clouds forever,
Well I guess we weren’t that clever,
You can’t put your head in your hands forever.

Album - Well Well Well

1. Well Well Well

Well well well look just what the cat dragged in
A foe not a friend in the end but a dealer in sin
I don’t want apologies I’ll guarantee you’d do it all again
Oh no no you cant play those games no more
Well this time it’s different, yeah this time you’ve pushed too far
Can’t you find your dignity, you lost it with your honesty & shame

Well well well look just what the cat dragged in
A cheater, a liar, a schemer oh where to begin.
I don’t want apologies I’d guarantee you’d do it all again

You sold yourself and sold me off down the river
You had us all yeah, an Oscar’s on the cards
And I bet you kind of liked it
You’ll get your comeuppance and you’ll be a laugh forever and ever and ever and ever oh

Well well well look just what the cat dragged in
A foe not a friend in the end but a dealer in sin
I don’t want apologies I’d guarantee you’d do it all again

2. Showroom

Watch out, he’s always up to something
Cus he’s so devious and he’s so cynical
And it makes me laugh, he’s trying so hard to pretend
Acting oh so original when he’s simply following the trends
The book that you’re reading is upside down
The book that you’re reading is upside down
The book that you’re reading is upside down
The book that you’re reading is upside down

He’s always sayin’ that he’s oh so right, and won’t admit when he’s wrong
But if I get him on his own tonight I’m gonna find it hard cus we don’t quite get along

Oh too much, sitting in the window
Sipping up his coffee and advertising his self
And it makes me laugh he’s trying so hard to deceive
Acting cool and cocky when there’s clearly something up his sleeve
The book that you’re reading is upside down
The book that you’re reading is upside down
The book that you’re reading is upside down
The book that you’re reading is upside down

He’s always sayin’ that he’s oh so right, and won’t admit when he’s wrong
But if I get him on his own tonight I’m gonna find it hard cos we don’t quite get along

Oh it’s such a treacherous thing
Little boy laugh and the little boy sing
But when they come a calling
You cant can’t help fallin’ over no you cant help falling down.

It’s evidential that you’ve not been taught
Oh you just can’t see
That respect is always earnt not bought
So we all bow down to this weeks class clown at the showroom.

3. Send In The Boys

He had her down in the cellar with a knife pointing at her throat,
He wouldn’t let her go oh no, he wouldn’t let her go.
She kicked and screamed,
Someone heard through the walls from next door,
What’s the craic? What’s the score?
Next door neighbour gave a call no one answered
So the boys are coming, the boys are coming for you.

They’ll take you on a holiday, maybe to the seaside,
Maybe they’ll just give you away.
They’ll drop you off and say goodbye,
You’re looking pretty dangerous,
You’re looking pretty dangerous,
And nobody knows just quite what you will do next,
So we will send in the boys, the boys are coming for you…

Coppers came heavy handed,
Closed the street and demanded us to stay at home today,
Oh you must stay at home today.
Calm him down, reassure him,
Leave the girl this is stupid, hold your hands up,
We’ll get you through this, we’ll get you through this,
Oh the boys are coming, the boys are coming for you.

We’ll take you on a holiday, maybe to the seaside,
Maybe they’ll just give you away.
We’ll drop you off and say goodbye,
You’re looking pretty dangerous,
You’re looking pretty dangerous,
Nobody knows just quite what you will do next,
So we will send in the boys, the boys are coming for you…

4. What About Next Time?

You say that you don’t know but, I think you do,
There’s clearly something wrong there’s clearly something wrong with you,
I really do not need to pry but this just seems so silly,
How can the truth become a lie just so it means you’re winning,

(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong) I can see it in your eyes,
(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong) You can’t shy away.
(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong) Or cover up your misdemeanors with anything you say.

When you want you know you can be as good as gold,
But try telling that to the bloke who owns the phone that you just stole,
I try to say you’re doing wrong but you choose to ignore me,
You say you don’t need anyone but I know a different story,

(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong) I can see it in your eyes,
(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong) You can’t shy away.
(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong) A cover of your misdemeanors with anything you say.

Cause if no one got hurt, what’s all the fuss about, you say,

What about next time,

(Oh he don’t know, what he’s doing wrong),
(Oh he don’t know) I can see it in your eyes ,
(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong) You can’t shy away,
(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong)I can see it in your eyes,
(You don’t know what you’re doing wrong)

But what about next time.

5. Lipstick Licking

The lights they start to flicker, moving in the sky
And the lips with their lipstick licking seem to pass me by, oh my
The big boy with the headlight glare says we’re telling lies
And I know we’re in for it when I see him looking over and he’s giving me the evil eye

But the thought of you in my mind knows I’m never gonna go wrong
Cause you and me both we’re singing the same song
I can tell by the look in your eye that we’re never gonna go wrong
We’ll go on, and on, and on

The big boy wont let him go, he says to apologise
And I know we’re in for it when somebody wanders over just to smack him right between the eyes

6. Cheshire Cat Smile

Oh how your minds not on it
Pass me a book and I’ll read you a sonnet girl
Walls go up and guards come down
He’s banging on the door thinking, where the fuck is she now?

Don’t open your mouth and stick to your guns
You’ve got to realise that she’s indifferent
What’s your name?
Just won’t learn, here we go again

So it has come to an end,
Things haven’t changed yeah you’re still looking rough my friend
Things get broken, things come clear,
If you wanted to leave so much then why are you still here?

Don’t open your mouth and stick to your guns
You’ve got to realise that she’s indifferent
What’s your name?
Just won’t learn, here we go again

7. Stockholm Syndrome

Welcome, to the world of fake reality
Where you can never believe what you hear or believe what you see
It’s like the coliseum of the annual games
With the Roman Emperor being entertained
A flick of the wrists that will seal your fate
A flick of the wrists that will seal your fate

A flick of the wrist and you’re through
And there’s no telling what they might do
Now they’ve captured your soul
Oh you’re under control
They’ve captured your soul
And they won’t give it back ’till you plead

Setting agendas and fashions which must be obeyed
(You must obey it, you must obey it)
With their stories and lies they decide, the way you’re portrayed

You only see what they want you to see and nothing else
You only see what they want you to see and nothing else

A flick of the wrist and you’ve through
And there’s no telling what they might do
Now they’ve captured your soul
Oh your under control
They’ve captured your soul
And they won’t give it back ’till you plead

Nothing ever happens
So why are you watching? X3
No, nothing ever happens
So why are you watching!?

They’ve captured your soul
And they won’t give it back
No they won’t give it back
No they won’t give it back

8. Storm In A Teacup

Yeah she’s been walking down my street
Saluting Magpies, avoiding cracks at her feet
Oh be careful they can break your back you know
But that superstition don’t count for much
It’s all in your head and not in your touch
If it’s working I’ll reconsider

So what you crying for you’re a big girl now
No mester’s going to get you
You’ve been trying but you don’t know how
Is it cos they never let you?

And oh, looks like it’s all too much
Your ears are burning their talking about you
I know I know I know I know I know

She don’t need no excuse or alibi
No explanation to grab hold of your eye
You wouldn’t even need to know her name
But I just can’t work her out at all
She sends me round the bend she drives me up the wall
But it’s worth I know she means well.

So what you crying for you’re a big girl now
No mester’s going to get you
You’ve been trying but you don’t know how
Is it cos they never let you?

And oh, looks like it’s all too much
Your ears are burning their talking about you
I know I know I know I know I know

9. Last Bus

Alright, I’ve had enough
I want to go home now
Tonight, I’ve had too much
And I start to talk funny
And when, I’ve had enough
I say some things I might, regret, that make me blush
When I wake in the morning

So I’ll see you when I see you
Yeah I’ll see you again
And if I don’t get the chance to at least shake your hand
Then I wish you good luck, hope it all goes to plan so
I’ll see you around

Come on, we’ll get the bus
If we leave pretty soon now
I can’t go to the club
‘Cause I’ve not got much money

So I’ll see you when I see you
Yeah I’ll see you again
And if I don’t get the chance to at least shake your hand
Then I wish you good luck, hope it all goes to plan so
I’ll see you around

10. Brewster

Where you going now our David?
Don’t be late now our David

And all his friends say they want to act that way
Can’t understand why you want to act that way
And when you try to tell him he goes

Davy boy you’re such a silly little boy
Why don’t you think about your mother all alone
She’s waiting for your call she’s waiting, she’s tired, she’s bored

Why don’t you go home

He get’s it all from his fathers blood
Who used to be a casual, as casual as they come
Now he’s gone to live in Liverpool

And David does whatever David see’s
He’ll give you a good kicking and he’ll bring you down to your knees
If you don’t believe in what he does

And all his friends say they want to act that way
Can’t understand why you want to act that way
And when you try to tell him he goes

Why can’t you see it’s not big and it’s not clever
To be fighting battles when your only cause
Is entertainment, cause you get so frustrated
Oh Davy boy he’s found a brand new toy
He’s gone from playing in the rubbish bins, smashing all the windows in, fighting in car parks
Now he’s fucking up the flat he call’s home
Why don’t you go home

12. What You Could’ve Won

It’s closing time and it’s getting late
Can you fetch my coat cos I don’t feel too great, anymore
But I want to stay, don’t you want to stay aswell
I don’t think that you do
I’ve got this funny feeling that you don’t feel like I do
This conversations just passing you by
I know it I can see it in your eyes

You’ve had one too many, low and behold
You’re telling me the secrets that can’t be told
It feels so special, it feels so bold
But then you knock me back and I fall
I fall to the floor
And all I wanted was a kiss
And all I wanted was a chance tonight

I’m walking home
Half pissed and half frozen
My minds made warmer by the little token of you, and your little ways
Still they’re sleeping in your bed today
And now beeps the phone
I fumble round to answer but I end up putting it on hold
Late night taxis keep passing me by
I fell sick and look to the sky

I’ve had one too many, low and behold
The late night lovers stay out in the cold
I ring your number I feel so bold
You kick me into touch and I fall
I fall to the floor

And all I wanted was a kiss
And all I wanted was a chance tonight
But yeah your ignorance was bliss
Yeah your ignorance was paradise
Just give me a chance
Just give me a sign or something to tell me what you want
Cos before too long they’ll be somebody else
It’s then that you’ll know that your wanted more
You call out my name but I fail to respond
Oh it knocks you back and you fall
You fall to the floor

You’re not just a number upon a computer or a waiting list
You’re not just a number upon a computer or a shopping list.

13. Roll Out The Barrel

Bitches and glances, rough romances
I’m sorry if I caught your eye
What is she wearing?
That’s a bit daring
Oh please put away those thunderous thighs
Do you see what I see?
He’s looking straight at me as if I’ve done something wrong
And I looked at he misses
High heels, pink lipstick, I won’t be for very long
Oh I won’t be for very long

But I’m alright they all cry
As they stumble down the stairs
I’m just fine, got no inhibitions
No rhythm, worries or cares
And you’re unstoppable now
Moving on the dancefloor
You’re unstoppable the world is at your feet if only for tonight

I was just passing, you dancing, you asking, they link arms and walk to the floor
Where are we going stop too-ing and fro-ing
Don’t ask me ’cause I don’t know
You try to console her, I can’t control her mascara runs down her cheek
All men are bastards
Oh when plastered, they’ll be back together next week
By the end of next week

And oh no, when they’ve had too much
Everybody wants her, everybody wants him
Oh just the faintest touch
The bounce shouts and screams on top of the bar
Then the crowds dissapear as the Police arrive and thrown the thugs in the back of the car
Yeah it all comes part of the package
Front row viewing at no extra cost
Just fill the up with a barrel now you’ve lit the fuse so watch the fireworks go off
Roll out the barrel, bring out eh barrel
Roll out the barrel, oh bring out the barrel now,

Roll out the barrel, bring out the barrel.
