Flip Forever

Reborn in a public bathroom
With a bad head and a hangover
And party balloon
That reads “happy birthday”
He’s got cheap makeup all over his face
Memories of singing together
Getting drunk and talking all night
FLIP FOREVER
I pray for one last endeavour
And for you to be here tonight
FLIP FOREVER
Let’s listen to Killing Joke
And let’s watch our favourite shows
And talk about life
We’ll go back to Coventry
To see your friends and family
But it’s not right
Reborn in the back of a van
Us four and Push-up Paul
On the way to an empty concert hall
We don’t make much money
And only our friends come to see us play
But you know I wouldn’t have it any other way

Agitation

You say I don't know what I'm doing,
I say I don't know where you've been,
I don't care for agitation anymore,
I'll take it back this time again,
Just come back this time my friend.
You ask me of my whereabouts, but I lie again.
Handfuls of my hair I'm tearing out, while I die within.
Run away, run away oh, I'll start again on my own, miles away.
I will be a bitter memory in your head when I'm miles away.
My mind's beaten up, I'm so low and I remember your kiss.
When I'm steaming drunk and so stoned I'll be thinking back to everything I miss,
You say I don't know what I'm doing, (with my life),
I say I don't know where you've been, (agitation),
I don't care for agitation anymore,
I'll take it back this time again,
Just come back this time my friend,
You ask me of my whereabouts, but I don't know,
I've been walking out on my own again with nowhere to go,
Fly away, fly away oh, I'll start again on the other side of the world,
But it still feels like I break your heart again each time I'm inside a girl,
My mind's beaten up, I'm so low and I remember your kiss.
When I'm steaming drunk and so stoned I'll be thinking back to everything I miss,
You say I don't know what I'm doing, (with my life),
I say I don't know where you've been, (agitation),
I don't care for agitation anymore,
I'll take it back this time again,
Just come back this time...
This time things will be different,
This time I'm taking a different approach,
This time nothing will be different,
I've seen more spine in a common cockroach,
This time things will be different,
This time I'm taking a different approach,
This time...
I've seen more spine in a cockroach.

Rotten Tooth

'Don't lie' is good advice I try to take,
And 'Don't sit there while ills are going on', (Your rotten tooth),
No matter what is thrown into your way,
Be thankful that your burden is your own,
Take control of the day, Memento Vivere,
Pack your things and run away,
Don't look to other people to work out how to live,
Our mistakes are all of our own,
If you find yourself down at the bottom of the barrel,
It's not too late, you're never too old.
Habitually the tongue will always go,
Back to the rotten tooth that feels like home,
Girls out there you already know
Only the most deserved get to walk you home,
Take control of the day, Memento Vivere,
What a cliché,
Don't look to other people to work out how to live,
Our mistakes are all of our own,
If you find yourself down at the bottom of the barrel,
It's not too late, you're never too old.
Don't look to other people to work out how to live,
Our mistakes are all of our own,
If you find yourself at the bottom of the barrel get up and start again,
It's not too late, you're never too old.
It's not too late, you're never too old.

Best Friend

Me and my friend side-saddle with sin
Leaving our home towns where it all begins
Left behind all the alligator grins
You had a year on me
We were heading for the smoke with a belly full of hope
Packed up our lives and decided to elope
Every since then we'd need each other to cope
In a pokey little flat in Hackney
Tattooed with a risky past
Never shrewd with a whiskey glass
Personality bric-a-brac
We were dreaming above our means
I'm your counsellor, your social worker
Your best friend
I'm your anonymous ear when you don't wanna be here anymore
I'm your counsellor, your social worker
Your best friend
And I will always be here
We moved to Manor House, we were figuring it out
We were bigger now but never sitting down
I had no crown but was the king of the town
At least that's how I felt
We had the world at our feet but nothing to eat
Life was sweet but blink another week
Lost down the back of the sofa seat in our personal heavenly hell
Tattooed with a risky past
Never shrewd with a whiskey glass
I don't make a habit of looking back
But things began to change
Ten years on, I'm singing this song
We both moved on, my desert billabong
We've lived different lives but we were never wrong when we said we'd stay in touch
We've been sober, single, drunk and in love
But never above a beer and hug
You were there for me when I was growing up and for that I love you so much...
