I want class, I need grass. I'm the only one walking this lonely path.
More class, less trash, distract from the crap that I attract.
We're on top, so hot. Skill, perfection, you know we got the lot.
They look and stare, we don't care.
We keep 'em guessing 'cos they haven't got a care.
They think they all know me, they haven't got a clue.
Never live in the past, it's a cul-de-sac.
I'm never living in the past, never goin' back.
Be daring, don't play it safe tonight.
Assert integrity of purpose and make it right.
Be different, impractical alright.
Be anything to go againts the creatures of the commonplace;
The slaves of the ordinary.

Contradiction

Talk behind my back what you don't say to my face
I feel at home when I'm in the wrong place
I'm panicking but yet I am feeling so calm
I don't believe in fortune tellers, read me my palm
The truth will always hurt but it's always lies
We'll live forever but we're all gonna die
So busy but I ain't got nothing to do
You know I know the answer so give us a clue
Remember to forget, guilty innocence with no regret
An ancient drama no reprise. So obvious but no surprise
High on life but now I'm feeling so low
So many places but nowhere to go
A closed book I wear my heart on my sleeve
I love it all but it means nothing to me
The truth will always hurt but it's always lies
We'll live forever but we're all gonna die
So busy but I ain't got nothing to do
You know I know the answer so give us a clue
Remember to forget, guilty innocence with no regret
An ancient drama no reprise. So obvious but no surprise
Compliments insult me, I don't know what to think
My thirst is quenched so give me a drink
And please stop lying 'cos the truth always hurts
You know I'm clean but I'm diggin' the dirt
So catch me up and please stop racing ahead
I cannot hear but I know what you said
What you could give to me nobody could lend
We've only just begun and come to an end
Remember to forget, guilty innocence with no regret
An ancient drama no reprise. So obvious but no surprise

Goin' Under

When the curtain calls, until the morning dawns
A bitter pill so sweet, it keeps me on my feet
I know it ain't good for me but it's a means to an end
Have you got some feelings, some feelings you can lend?
My thoughts are split in two, there's nothing I can do
It fills a hole inside and occupies my mind
I know it ain't good for me but it's a means to an end
Have you got some feelings, some feelings you can lend?
Into this hole I climb, nothing but black inside
Unto a God I pray, but he fills my sky with grey
I know it ain't good for me but it's a means to an end
Have you got some feelings, some feelings you can lend?
I can't take this anymore, you will find me on the floor
Blood pouring like a stream, you'll find me in a permanent dream
Unconscious on my back, on a loop my favourite track
I was too insane but I only got myself to blame
And now the sky turns green, can't feel beneath my spleen
All thoughts they fade to black, I'm never going back
I know it ain't good for me but it's a means to an end
Have you got some feelings, some feelings you can lend?
I can't take this anymore, you will find me on the floor
Blood pouring like a stream, you'll find me in a permanent dream
Unconscious on my back, on a loop my favourite track
I was too insane but I only got myself to blame

Take It Home

It's a one to two hour drive, depends if the lights are on you side
I got my passion, I got my pride. I'm gonna take it home tonight
You turn a blind eye to the passer by,
his t-shirt says that he supports a different side
It doesn't matter he'll always be right
You'd better take it home tonight

She Knows

She gives me heights of pleasure that you just can't measure
yeah she makes it all worthwhile
Rules don't matter, her seductive laughter
and her cheeky, dirty smile
She Knows
The things she does they always make me feel good
and all she wants to do is please
I click my fingers, all she wants to do is please us
and she's down and dirty on her knees, I said yeah
She Knows
She got no inhibitions, she's a woman on a mission
she likes to take control
She's such a good girl and she rocks my world
and always does as she is told
She Knows

Finishing Line
04:33

Now let's cut to the chase, before it's premium rate
I always score when I throw, kill two birds with one stone
Rise above the rest, never second best
Victory will be mine. I'll see you at the finishing line
Can't see the wood for the trees, sometimes it beggars belief
Right there in front of your eyes, such a nice surprise
Rise above the rest, never second best
Victory will be mine. I'll see you at the finishing line
Bad loser so sue me, better luck next time
You're gonna lose, the trophy is mine
Truth hurts your second in line
Your gonna lose control of your mind
Better stop and press rewind
Step back the trophy is mine
Scared of your own shadow,
can' bare to see your reflection in the window
Now that the damage is done
It's time to man up, it's time to move on now
Rise above the rest, never second best
Victory will be mine. I'll see you at the finishing line
