"Comin' Down"

 

 

I'm comin' down, comin' down,

It took so long for me to come around,

They tell you, it smashes brain,

Drain you of all the blood you've left in your veins.

 

If you spare me a brew and a double bed,

You might give me the time to clear my head tonight,

With these stones you cast so fast,

Makes me think that we will never last.

 

I hear it, do you hear that sound,

Hear that now aloud, it's comin' down.

I'm not eager to be mean, I'm eager to be anyone I want to be.

 

If you spare me a brew and a double bed,

You might give me time to clear my head tonight,

With these stones you cast so fast,

It makes me think that we never last.

 

 

"Superstar Tradesman"

 

Superstar tradesman

Stand at the bar

Get a trade son

You will go far

You have a house in the ferry

And a new guitar that's never been played before

And it never will

Never been played before

And it never will

 

The weather is sunny

You're locked inside

The weather is sunny

Oh yes

Ive tried and ive tried

To keep me sane to keep me sane

To keep me sane to keep me sane

 

I don't want money I want a thing called happiness

I don't want cash you know

I'd quite like memories

To keep us on track

Lets never look back

To keep us on track

Lets never look back

 

What would you do

If I asked you

What would you do

If I asked you

To sail away to see some sights

Sail away with me to see some sights

 

Superstar tradesman

Stand at the bar

Get a trade son

You will go far

You have a house in the ferry

And a new guitar that's never been played before

And it never will

Never been played before

And it never will

 

"Same Jeans"

 

I've had the same jeans on for four days now

I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town

Everybody's dressing up

I'm dressing down

 

Life's one big circle

And it doesn't end

When it ends

Will you still be my friend?

 

I'm not making a fool of myself

Oh tell me

I'm not making a fool of myself

 

So

When you look in the mirror

Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know

Oh That's just made your head spin around

So get yourself together

Get your feet back on the ground

 

I've had the same jeans on for four days now

I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town

Everybody's dressing up

I'm dressing down

 

I take my hats off to the busker man

When they drown all the sorrows singing songs

Now everything has worked out to plan

But believe me it started as long as it can

 

So

When you look in the mirror

Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know

Life's just made your head spin around

So get yourself together

Now put your feet back on the ground

 

I've had the same jeans on for four days now

I'm gonna go to a disco in the middle of the town

Everybody's dressing up

I'm dressing down

 

My minds not perfect but it's sincere

You'd be amazed at what you can achieve in a year

And you try so hard

But your hearts on a switch

And I know you try so hard

But your hearts on a switch

 

So

When you look in the mirror

Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know

Life's just made your head spin around

So get yourself together

Get your feet back on the ground

 

So

When you look in the mirror

Reflecting back at you someone that you don't know

Life's just made your head spin around

So get yourself together

Get your feet back on the ground

 

Same Jeans on for four days now

Everybody's dressing up I'm dressing down

I'm not making a fool of myself

Now believe me lady I can't tell

 

Same Jeans on for four days now

Everybody's dressing up I'm dressing down

Im not making a fool of myself

Now believe me lady I can't tell

 

"Don't Tell Me"

 

 

I don't know what I have done,

But I'm sure I will in the next five seconds,

You see I have a telephone,

When people call they don't stop ringing for me,

 

Last night was as mystery,

So the words can create a picture for my mind to see,

Pictures seem to make me sweat,

Something in the morning my sisters told me I would regret.

 

Refuse to believe what you just told me,

Refuse to believe till you tell me slowly,

Or bring me down gradually.

 

Aremsee he under-stands,

He's not afraid to tell me about my late night shenanigans,

See I was put here for the world to see,

You can't tell me where I'm going or tell me who I'd like to be,

 

I don't intend to stop my drinkin',

I know I should and it's clever thinkin',

But don't tell me...

 

I don't know what I have done, but I'm sure I will,

In the next five seconds,

You see I have a telephone,

And when people call they don't stop ringing for me.

 

Things they change as you get older,

No longer a devil on each shoulder,

But please, please, please... don't tell me.

 

"Skag Trendy"

 

Skag trendy thought he new just what to do,

He was only seventeen and he was out screwing the brew,

He thought that parents were too old and teachers told him what to do,

He's master skag trendy 'n' he'd like to talk to you.

 

He told his mother what he was all about,

She didn't acknowledge the cry for help,

She just chucked him out,

Now he's broke sitting outside, sitting on the floor.

 

Nothing else to think about except another score,

But before he gets this he has to go and steal something.

That's not something that he really wants to do,

But you see since his mother chucked him out,

She signed him off the brew,

 

I wish somebody would love him,

He doesn't have a hope,

I wish somebody would love him,

He doesn't have a home.

He'd like to speak to his old school friends,

But he needs ten pence for his phone.

 

He had a girlfriend she was very, very, very nice,

Walks by him now, won't look at him twice,

She liked his dress sense and his cheeky, cheeky grin,

But you see since he's been chucked out,

He's lost all of them, he's got none.

 

So he writes another sad song, he's got none.

So he writes another sad song.

 

I'm master skag trendy thought I knew just what to do,

I was only seventeen and I was out screwing the brew,

I thought that parents were too old and teachers told him what to do,

I'm master skag trendy and I'd like to talk to you.

 

I wish somebody would love me, *** I don't have a home.

I wish somebody would love me, *** I don't have a home.

I'd like to speak to my old school friends, but I need ten pence for the phone.

 

One thing would happen to someone in this situation,

That is complete and utter social deterioration,

Should have clicked on when he was out pawning his playstation,

Just a young man looking for some variation.

 

He made a mistake; he was looking for some variation,

He made a mistake; he was looking for some variation.

 

"The Don"

 

Thinking of poems of poverty

Sitting with a tight clenched wrist, thinking how to gain authority

Oh what a soft touch of a boy

He'd wander with pride to sell and keep visions to his self

Visions to his self

 

We'd talk of treasures, and over-rated games

We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.

What we loved most of all, was sitting round the shop, while this poor boy was sitting all alone,

Sitting all alone

 

Pondering times of sanctuary

He was sitting taking his piano lessons, we were on half an E

Invested life in medicine, had so much vulgar language not allowed going on.

Convinced he'd never win. Convinced he was a sin.

 

We'd speak of women and cheaper carryouts

We'd turn up to all the festivals, trying to bring down the touts,

What we love the most of all was sittin' at the shop, while this young boy was sittin' all alone,

Sittin' all alone

 

We'd talk of treasures and overrated games

We'd steal the milk bottles, sneaking through the back round Jimmy's way.

What we loved most of all, was sitting at the shop, while this poor boy was sitting all alone,

Sittin' all alone

 

He couldn't find none of his own kind, he didn't have none of his own kind

You should take interest in his mind, not spend all of his time wastin all his money and time

 

What we loved most of all was hanging round the shop

What we loved most was sitting round the shop

What we loved most was standing at the Dryburgh shop,

What we loved the most was hanging round the shop while he was all alone

 

"Face For The Radio"

 

You have a face for the radio,

But I know you'd like to see it in a show,

Claiming to be the next best everything,

Which way will you go?

 

You're a little smarter than most of us,

You run so fast sometimes it's hard to see you for dust,

Finding some time for you, it tortures me,

Which way will you go?

 

Wages on a Friday,

Spent on a Saturday,

Lend me a fiver,

Won't do that again,

Oh your trust is not to strong.

 

Your arrogance in a bag,

Won't spare you a ######,

Superstar wannabe,

Says it comes naturally,

Cemented in your own feeble way,

 

He watches trainspotting, fifteen times a week,

Thinking it's making him oh so unique,

PC on summer nights and football in the rain,

Doesn't matter how far he is,

He always has money for the train,

 

Nothing against you, love in my heart,

You're really a nice lad, I've known it from the start,

Your conscience in eager, to know where you lie,

Pushing your limits, give it up and remember you can cry.

 

Wages on a Friday,

Spent on a Saturday,

Lend me a tenner,

Won't do that again,

Oh your trust is not to strong.

 

You're arrogance in a bag,

Won't spare you a ######,

Superstar wannabe,

Says it comes naturally,

In your own feeble way.

 

"Wasted Little DJs"

 

They told me if I write this song for them.

That they would cut my hair for free.

But that's not me no liberties.

 

They're in to all the coolest bands

And knowing that they're going to the gigs as fans

Entitles me to some decency.

 

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

They're the cleverest blonde weekend.

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

I WISH everybody danced like them.

 

Split visions of a talkative therapy

It makes me bend away it gives me E

Seems hard to say, its insanity.

 

The same record for the 16th time

Exact same set you did the last time round

Doesn't bother me we're in harmony.

 

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

They're the cleverest blonde weekend.

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

I WISH everybody danced like them.

 

No low emotions rolling tonight

Young heavy hopefuls staying the night

So stick around and wait for the day.

Craziness kills lazyness N happiness

Takes bad bets no one gives a vulgar language not allowed U see we're all out of our little heads.

 

Craziness kills lazyness N happiness

Takes bad bets no one gives a vulgar language not allowed

You see we're all out of our,

All out of our,

All out of our little vulgar language not allowed heads

 

Doo doo doo doo...

 

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

They're the cleverest blonde weekend.

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

I WISH everybody danced like them.

 

Can anybody dance like them

Can U tell me

Does anybody dance like them

Can U tell me

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

Astedwae ittlae ejaysdae

 

"Gran's For Tea"

 

There's a mile long queue at the chippy

I wish I was at my Gran's for tea

These people call me their friend, but they don't think the same as me

 

Are you fed up chasing your tail round this housing scheme

Drinkin' your drink now

And staying up too early in the morning

 

I wander through the streets of Dundee

Mum said you shouldn't walk them alone

A fight's a fight, 'n' that's quite alright

But please leave the tools at home

 

You lower standards and expectations of love

You never aim for people that you think are levels above

You're always chasing the same skirts round

Round the local pub

 

Where were you when I needed you?

Up the posh end of town

You're supposed to protect and serve

You're out for a perve just driving around

 

"Dance Into The Night"

 

I met a girl at the Cambel town bar

You know the one that plays the guitar

'Yes' she said some things that you shouldn't say

Wonder if she remembers

She was wasted anyway

 

It's the next day

Who remembers what

No-one knows

Everybody's too afraid to talk about it anyway

These particular times everyone's out of line

It makes no change it's so strange

Everybody's walking around so deranged

 

She asked me to play her that song everyone likes

She said she'd listen as the day is long and dance shed dance into the night

We talked of dreams, romance and excess

Something inside of her tells me she climbs to be the best

This you have to respect

Stuck in her dead in job

And yes she said, some things that she should not say

She wonders if I remember

I was wasted anyway

 

It's the next week

We stop and speak

Happens all the times

It's like a trend and it totally drives me round the bend

These particular times

 

Everyone's out of line it makes no change

It's strange

Everybody's walking around so deranged

 

I felt I was one with you,

You probably didn't see,

Oh I'm a nervous one,

My pain it comes easily.

 

Should I revolve my world around you,

Should I revolve my light around you,

 

Claudia, Claudia,

You're taunting you're teasing,

You know I have feelings too,

They're all for you,

Claudia, Claudia,

Provoking my heart,

And I still haven't broken the code,

To your heart now, oh no,

 

I blame it on your upbringing,

You were made around the side of a van,

You call me the trusting one,

Trust it comes easy man,

 

Should I revolve my world around you,

Should I revolve my light around you,

 

Claudia, Claudia,

You're taunting you're teasing,

You know I have feelings too,

They're all for you,

Claudia, Claudia,

Provoking my heart,

And I still haven't broken the code,

To your heart now, to your heart now, whoa whoa whoa

 

"Street Lights"

 

Take your like in your own hands

Walk down the street looking over your shoulder

Who will you meet?

 

An it's a big crowd tonight

Look at the street lights

It's a big crowd tonight

Look at the street lights

Look at the street lights, what a pretty sight

 

You say that you love me

You say that you don't

You try to get me to jump through that hoop

But I won't

 

I'd like to move city

I'd like to move town

*** all you ignorant people, you're bringin me down

 

"Wasteland"

 

This is the wasteland, we call this the wasteland,

Where fewer little posh boys can't believe we treasure beer cans.

Where'd you get those fans,

Found them at the shop man,

Peculiar place to find them but they're dedicated View fans.

 

You think it's cynical to this home a miracle,

It's not a miracle; we're just so strangely typical,

Initiate in one gang, initiations tough man,

Imprisonment is on the cards,

We're heading for the quick sand.

 

Sign on the brew, coz there's nothing to do,

Nothing to do, but listen to you,

Not listening to you my parents told me not to,

This is the wasteland, our idealistic wasteland,

Regurgitated circle of a seven hour shop stand.

 

So steal a car chief, the police are off the beat thief,

They'll find it funny when they see insurance relief,

Sign on the brew, coz there's nothing to do,

Nothing to do, but I listen to you,

I'm not listening to you my parents told me not to,

 

Think you're a hard ######, something quite sadistic,

No you weren't sadistic when he'd done you with the brick vick,

Your land is boring, so very, very boring.

Wouldn't dream to wonder if it's raining or it's snowing.

 

This is the wasteland, wasteland
