Fuck You World!

Fuck!
I wanna explode
Feels like drinking's medication for my soul
And that life's just getting wasted on my own
Like there ain't no point in fighting
Like you know you can't win
Well if you're fed up with it, join me as I sing
Fuck You World
I'm outa control
I've had it with this shit, I'm going home
All you scheming little pricks can suck a bone
Cos I've found a way to hide them
Yes I've found a place to hide
And that's drinking coffee, watching movies, right here by your side
So fuck you world
Cos everyone's a dreamer
They can't see the truth
Show them bastards what they're missing kids, come on raise the roof
Fuck You World!
(Fuck You)
It feels so right when the sun goes down
I'll be the king with my golden crown of my bedroom
as long as I've got you
Every life is messy but I have no doubt
If we drink all night till we all pass out it won't solve shit
But baby I promise
Those motherfuckers, they can't touch us
Sing it loud with all the others
Times is hard, I'll hit the bar
We'll sing along on my guitar
All work no play, forced to obey
Makes Tom so mad, and by the way
You feel the same, I can feel your pain
Let's sing along the same refrain...
The name of this song yeah...
Come on sing it along...
Every boy, every girl
FUCK YOU WORLD!

You made your intentions clear without saying a word
And now I'm pretty impressed because I spend my days trying fit these words in to each song but I can't quite get my point across - No
I think it's cos I fumble about a bit
It'd be sweet to live in a movie, not just for the soundtrack or the costumes
But having a script means I wouldn't have to make my own shitty decisions and fuck it up just to regret it by the credits - No
And yes I get it, you made it crystal clear
Am I that pathetic that I needed you here?
I had to choose
Yes I regret it, but that's not the half of it - No
I went from romantic to cynic in less than a day
I read some books, bought myself vinyl hoping I'd find a way but I have to stay, turns out this is reality... shit...
And yes I get it, you made it crystal clear
Am I that pathetic that I needed you here?
I had to choose
Yes I regret it, but that's not the half of it - There's more to tell
am I in hell?
And yes I get it, you made it crystal clear
I am that pathetic that I needed you here?
I had to choose
Course I regret it, oh
This Brave New World I've washed up on doesn't feel quite right
You made me older, I don't think I can fight, I need a way out...

Troubled Sleep

Sometimes I wonder how long it's been since I last felt okay
Sometimes I pretend I don't need and sometimes I pretend all day
I'm not who you think, I'm not who you know not what you say and contrariwise what I be
I am
I am coffee and cigarettes
Tasteless to the touch on your lips
Say something this silence has gone on too long
We're just two young lovers sharing an awkward view of life alone
No, no, no, no, no, no
This isn't love it's a lie, we're never gonna get it right
If only I'd have kissed you, oh how I've missed you
This limbo we're in, it hurts
I sing "A kiss could have saved us"
A kiss, just a kiss
A kiss could have saved me tonight
I tried so hard to hold on but it wasn't the same
Too far away is my excuse - I want to see you again
To stop falling apart, to give us a new start
I've only got one idea left
and that is this
(There's no way I'm getting up
When life's a bitch and no one gives a fuck about me)
(Truth be told, it's all in my head
But I can't wake up when she's in your bed)
I can't close my eyes without picturing regret
I can't stay awake for this fear I will forget
But in several years, all of these fears
Will turn into my best plan yet
I hit the wall of creativity, beat my knuckles black and blue
I wrote the book, wrote every God-Damned line "Feeling Miserable: How To"
But I'm here to share; Hearts can be repaired...

Hello

I don't even know your name
She's a face that can't be blamed
With a smile that melts my heart,
I'm broken down with words I have no spoken
I just want you to know
Hello
I'll race you to the finish line
We'll celebrate with cheap wine
All the dreams I've made up and I'll make up
Perfect you, I'll have to shape up
I just want you to know
Hello
You don't know what it means to me
To delight in your company
I'm a little bit nervous and now I'm shaking
All my fingers and toes crossed, you're not taken
I just want you to know
Hello
It's been so long since I felt like this
Trade my guitar for a kiss
How you make my head float
Now my head hurts trying to be the man that you deserve
I just needed to say
Hey....
