Spring Clean
How much can you take?
How much can you cope with?
How much do you hide?
How much do you push down inside?
When it all blows up
When it bursts out of its cage
Do you fall apart or do you push on through?
All the wrongs you cannot change
The anger and the searing rage
Drop it all and flip the page
Let it all just fall away
Dust all the cobwebs from the hall
Sweep out the dull and dusty floors
Leave all your troubles at the door
Let go
Open the vault inside your head
Empty the worry and the dread
Loosen that tight grip on the past
Let go
Ooooh how much can you take?
Ooooh how much can you cope with?
Ooooh how long till you say enough?
Clean out the Cobwebs in your brain
Flush out the things that cause you pain
Loosen that tight grip on the past
Let go
All the times you’ve cried
Eaten up by your frustration
When your brain is fried
Let it all just fall away
Clean out the Cobwebs in your brain
Flush out the things that cause you pain
Loosen that tight grip on the past
Let go
Dust all the cobwebs from the hall
Sweep out the dull and dusty floors
Leave all your troubles at the door
Let go
Open the vault inside your head
Empty the worry and the dread
Loosen that tight grip on the past
Let go

Take It All
02:38
|
|||
Trying to take it all, with no clue at all
In a caravan on a driveway
Looking at cupboards and lay on the floor
Thinking ‘my God is this what it’s all about?’
Curious, impatient, scared of pregnancy
He rolls it on and their clothes stay on
As they try, she’s too shy to look him in the eye
Thinking my God is this what people rave about?
Oh you’re a woman now
No you’re not a woman at all
Lots of girls at the school, they all go on about
Boyfriends and fingering, losing virginity
Jesus is ogling long legs in miniskirts
A statue of Mary is shedding a tear
Oh dear
Cruising the party and looking in all the wrong places
For something good in the unknown
Walls with no wall paper, floors with no carpet and sweat and debauchery
Weed and cheap lager
Oh you’re a woman now
No, you’re not a woman at all
Oh you’re not a woman at all
She’ll end up hurting him without any concept
Of the fact that she is causing him pain
Because she is far too young
Couldn’t be further from the thing that she’s looking for
But she’ll trudge on and on
Unfulfilled and numb for many years to come
Just a kid completely dumb and not a clue on how to
Come on
You’re a woman now?
No

Predator
03:21
|
|||
Smashed off her face, melted to an armchair
He strokes her hand with quiet demand
Young lady don’t you know the trouble you are in
A drug fueled kiss and he’s under her skin
Left open to the predator
The flesh is young and the mind is fragile
Soft to the touch, shattered on the inside
He’s into the game projecting all his shame
Dealing out the punishment and bellowing the flames
She’s a sucker for the predator
When your heart is stolen
You know your hands are tied
As time went by, she pleaded to be let inside
But with someone like that
The walls are tall and wide
They’ll leave you freezing say good bye to your pride
You go to work and you pay the gas bill
You lose your mind at the weekend to unwind
Just a little toke
Just a little taste
Just a little paranoid, a little volatile
Devoured by the predator
A little mood swing here
A little breakup there
She’s begging for him not to go
As she’s tearing at her hair
If she could only see
That he isn’t worth the air he breathes
High as a kite
Keeping up the fight
Swallowing and snorting until the beast bites
Try and fill the hole
Hope it goes away
You’ve got nothing going on and nothing good to say
With the passing of time
She’ll see you as you are
A creep to be avoided
A slimy predator
A little mood swing here
A little break up there
A little mood swing here
A little break up there
She’s begging for him not to go
As she’s tearing at her hair

Closed For Business
02:40
|
|||
A challenge for the strongest mind when driven round the bend
To face the near impossible when the fog descends
You can place your good will in the centre of the fire
I’m closed for business today
It falls from the sky and it crushes us to the ground
Movements are sluggish and enthusiasm can’t be found
I can’t see anything out there
I’m closed for business today
Take your pills and push the quilt away
Try to figure out what broke the day
A chemical imbalance or just circumstance
Or is it just a part of me by random chance
Answers on a postcard and send them right away
I’m closed for business today
Social media is sucking out the light
Step away from the monitor and spend more time in real life
Self-comparison can only do you harm
It’s all a façade anyway
While I procrastinate the hours tick on by
But when the fog descends there is no how or where or why
You can leave your good will in the centre of the fire
I’m closed for business today
Take your pills and push the quilt away
And try to figure out what broke the day
A chemical imbalance or just circumstance
Or is it just a part of me by random chance
Answers on a postcard and send them right away
I’m closed for business today

Oh Well
03:08

No love lost
I’m sad to say
I went to see him before he passed away
He was nice to my son
But that’s all I have to say
Oh well, never mind
The only granddaughter of your only dead son
You disappeared and we carried on
Yes, you cut me out and the damage was done
In my life out of my life you ceased to matter to me
What can I learn from your legacy
To never treat my son the way you treated me
The way you treated my father
How you treated your daughter
Where were you during my panic attacks
We were devasted and you turned your back
My mum and I, we struggled by
Without you in our lives
We live our lives and we reap what we sow
And if you fuck it up, you panic when it’s time to go
You spoke of love but you never showed it when it mattered
What can I learn from your legacy
To never treat my son the way you treated me
The way you treated my father
How you treated your daughter
What can I learn from your legacy
To never treat my son the way you treated me
The way you treated my father
How you treated your daughter
No love lost
I’m sad to say
But it feels like a weight was lifted when you went away

Loose End
02:33
|
|||
I was at a loose end so I went out for a walk
I wandered to the harbour and I sat down on a wall
Gazing out across the water
Feeling torn between two places
I was looking for something, I didn’t know what it was
I wanted to be somewhere else but I knew I had to stay
A friend called invited me over
We got stoned and ate spaghetti, listened to the captain
My head shut down the whole world was my oyster
My heart was led astray when it should have been mine
Everything will always move onto the next thing
So learn the lessons if you can and hop over the trapdoors

Shadows
03:50
|
|||
A little bit of nature
Captured in the stone
Four spires loom over the plaza down below
Staring at the statues
Beating hearts inside
Flower stalls and painters
Beneath an August sky
Taking in the city from a park upon a hill
Lazing in the sunshine, staying there until
Twilight falls around me so I head back to the town
Disembodied voices on the underground
A little bit of nature
Captured in the sun
Shaking of the urgency
There’s nothing to be done
So let your mind unravel
Connect with here and now
Whimsical and wandering
No where or why or how
Walking through the shadows
And the beams of lemon light
Gazing through the windows and wandering inside
Outside on a rooftop wine begins to flow
The singing and the laughter
Watching people down below
Walking through the shadows and the beams of lemon light
Riding on the tail of the day into the night

Monster
03:04
|
|||
Sometimes they have to be removed
Because they become hard to handle
Whoever lives within the skin
Cannot be seen at that time
Feed the monster it will grow
Pouring down an open gullet
Drinking till the lungs fill up
Drinking till the eyes are black holes
Go ahead and do your worst
The things you say do you remember?
How far will it go tonight?
Broken nose or cuts and grazes?
Falling down beneath the wheels?
Head split open like a grapefruit?
You’re as stubborn as a bull
I’ll wrestle you till you surrender
Then I’ll drag you to my house
Leave you half dead on the sofa
Go ahead and do your worst
The things you say do you remember?
Sitting in the early hours
Sitting talking to your dead friends
Do they make a lot of sense?
Tell you what you need to hear?
Go ahead indulge yourself
Drink it all till you feel nothing
Never seems to work that way
Only seems to make it worse
Try and cut me with your words
The things you say do you remember?
Go ahead and give your worst
The things you say do you remember?

If I'm Not Back
04:15
|
|||
If I’m not back by morning
If I’m not back by morning
I may be dead or just out of my head
If I’m not back by dawn
If I lose my dignity
If I lose my face
I’ll just move on ‘til the night time is done
And I won’t see you again
All that you see is the troubled side of me
Pouring out through a self-made hole
If you see me stumble
If you see me tumble down
Walk on by and do not question why
It’s just the way I roll
There will be no consequences
There will be no wounds to dress
In this city I can be anybody
And you won’t see me again
Watch me spin like a pin ball
Watch me bounce off the tables and the walls
Watch me burn, burn this place to the ground
I’m leaving nothing, I’m taking all
If you see me stumble
If you see me tumble down
Walk on by, do not question why
I don’t have to answer
I don’t have to answer to anybody
Walk on by, do not catch my eye
I pull myself together in the day time
I fall apart when the sun goes down
I keep on running tearing up the world around me
You’re never gonna catch me now
I keep on running

Aeroplanes
04:57
|

Trading in the hours
Tapping into power
Shifting in the moment
Sinking into time
Holding onto something
Grasping at the minutes
Making out of nothing
Changing all the time
Everything is out of order
Everything is on the other side
Trading in the hours
Making out of nothing
Following a whisper
Searching for a sign
Everything is out of order
Everything is on the other side
Watching aeroplanes take off into the grey
They are eaten up by clouds as I try to stay awake
Tuesday blues is nothing new the hours are dragging
My eyes are heavy and my head is lagging
Watching aeroplanes take off into the grey
I have always been a daydreamer
I’ve always been this way
The aura in this awful place, I cannot abide
And I swear some of the people are completely dead inside
Watching aeroplanes take off into the grey
They are eaten up by clouds as I try to stay awake
Tuesday blues is nothing new the hours are dragging
My eyes are heavy and my head is lagging
Watching aeroplanes take off into the sky
I wonder where they’re going as I watch them with a sigh
I’ve stuck it out for three weeks, but I’ve really had enough
When I ride off on my bicycle you won’t see me for the dust
Watching aeroplanes take off into the grey… etc
