Left on the floor
slackened off jaw
i'm technically dead
cos i figured out it must be for the putdown
vibrating skin
the panic begins
bury myself
bury my health way down into the ache town
i counted ten
my bone crunching new best friends
i looked at them wrong
same as the last ones
ten worthy pints
gods for the night
sarcastic grin
i never stood much chance up against his complex
wrong kind of shirt
pressed into dirt
the runt of the bunch
a broadly build shit house waiting for the bone crunch
I counted ten
my bone crunching new best friends
i looked at them wrong
same as the last ones
Left on the floor
slackened off jaw
technically dead
cos i figured out it must be for the putdown
my bone crunching new best friends
i looked at them wrong
same as the last ones

I can write my name on any wall
turn a stone over and call it home
sunny dispositions, hi five y'all
the whitening smiles behind the casting call
Hollywood by my side
keeps me going till night
Hollywood by my side
yeah
i could join a band and start a scene
cap on back to-front they'd worship me
broken bottles in the bar room scene
an introduction to your first Bronx cheer
Hollywood by my side
keeps me going till night
Hollywood by my side
yeah
Hollywood by my side
keeps me going till night
Hollywood by my side
keeps me going till night

We Are The Dead

When i came back from the sea
laid to rest, this broken family tree
and as i asked on who's authority
this might oak, lost in mythology
oh come home
come home
come home
i had to get them home
buried deep on holy ground
this ship capsized, sunk and sentenced to drown
and as i laid salt furrowed in my brow
forming lines, one for every frown
oh come home
come home
come home
i had to get them home
bury me and my Baltic brothers
anchored crests names of jilted lovers
toughened hands paid the heavy price
oh i'll miss those city lights
women and children
sons and fathers
we are the dead
we are the dead

One flash of light
strips away the heart ache
one more gone by
OK You're right
it doesn't make a difference to this
i count your sighs
Idolise me, imitate you
Idolise me, imitate you
For once obliged
it really cut you up inside you
what once was bright
For now outside
overcast is ideal thinking
of you i abide
Idolise me, imitate you
Idolise me, imitate you
Idolise me, imitate you

Here comes the one and only truly
big stuff, hi fiving motherfuckers
someones gotta tell him that the world does not revolve around him
Business, it's what he's taking care of
cultured, he's known around the city
when's he gonna realise the world does not revolve around him
Numbers, his one and only language
toppling he'd love to put you under
the lies and the put downs he told you just to get where he is
Status, sitting at the top of the table
success he'll try and put you under
lies and the put downs he told you just to get where he is
