BAD FUNK STRIPE
I'm a small portion of the sampled origin
Seems like your kickin' it back to the policemen
I need a breath of fresh air
So we can clear the air
Importance for your labels
Kick the flipper on the goldmark twilight
Kick the flipper so I can see my light
I screamed hooray for flashing bad funk stripe
Screamed hooray for flashing bad funk stripe
Bad funk stripe
Bad vibes from the slide tribe seems
You got your wires crossed when you tried to fix the toasted
But the boasting felt like karate
Rolled with the punches and a blow up Versaci
We really need gravel rash
Step on the gas
Give all the hash
Rollin' up, pretty smashed
Step on the gas we all need gravel
I screamed hooray
For I'm flashing back funk stripe
Bad funk stripe
Well there's a crazy situation on the seventh floor
I'm in an argument forever with the lady in the down stairs
Left operator lift me up better
I know you do it well
Cos I've seen you when your in the rain
And your pain won't go back
Cos I know it
You try everything to tell me that you know it
You know, I know, you know
A bad funk stripe

Would you, could you
Lend a hand with my bbq

Bet it's out there on a highway line
You tried to deny all of it
I hang my head when I think
Dead cat, dead cat three times

Apologetic hypocrite

DR GRINSPOON
DON'T GO AWAY
I think you'll need a new holiday
Somewhere the weather is sunny all day
I don't care just as long as you stay
I don't care just as long as you stay
Kissing the sky for a cloudy day eyes
Making the sun rise seems a surprise
They can go as long as you stay
They can go as long as you stay
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Fuckin'
Tuesday I hate your answer machine
Message for you I can't say what I mean
I don't care that everyone knows
Seems you care now everyone knows
Drop me a letter or write me a line
Pick up the phone girl and tell me your fine
Pity's a perfect excuse for myself
I'll sit inside and watch TV all day
Don't go away
Don't go away
Don't go away
Fuckin'
I know my mother thought you were trash
I know my dad he smokes to much hash
There always hiding under the stairs
It's easy to find them when I'm not there
Summertime lover your spring has begun
Letters arrive but you stay in your room
Pity's a perfect excuse for myself
I'll sit inside and watch TV all day
Don't go away x 7
Fuckin'
Don't go away x 8
FREEZER
Alright!
The lady at the hospital
Pushed me in a trolley
She said I gotta get out of this stinking place
So get my gun and get my hat
And grab my coat and get my map
And I said
Am I ever going to see you again?
I'm freezing to death in the morgue
Freezing, F, F, F, F, Freezing
Freezing to death in the morgue
Dead in
Dead in a morgue
F, F, F, F, Freezing
Lying here in the morgue
It's cold and really nice
I might be dead
But I might be alive
I'm freezing to death in the morgue
Dead in
Dead in a morgue
I'm freezing to death in the morgue
Freezing
Frrrrrrrrrrreezing
Dead in the morgue
Let's Rock
I'm freezing to death in the morgue
Dead in
Dead in the morgue
I'm freezing to death in the morgue
Freezing
F, F, F, F, Freezing
I'm freezing to death in the morgue
Dead in
Dead in the morgue
I'm freezing to death in the morgue
Will you ever come home?
Since, since, since, since your gone away
I hope that you had a better day
Tried to call round the other day
Instead I had a go-kart
Go-kart
Living in another space
Mistake y-yeah
I hope the police will go away

Their sirens bug me and so do all their radar's
Radar's
Living in another space
Mistake

Sweet child your such a princess now

Winter
Living in another space
Mistake
Thanks I'm over it
Your suffocating me
Political ex bullshit
I can't stay in the room
With electricity on
Next big thing I do your thing
If it gets me what I want
Next big thing your song I'll sing
Next big thing
Yeah, thank god for sanctuary
Permission put me in a cage
Drop more money in
I'm dancing like a puppet
Next big thing I do your thing
If it gets me what I want
Next big thing your song I'll sing
Next big thing
Salmonella why?
Birthday party
Candles lit out back
Controlled distaste
Watch left, right hit run
Pedestrian

Pedestri, pedestrian
Tombstone graveyard
Blackest day I know
Wedding funeral
Parade of sorrow
Pedestrian

Pedestri, pedestrian
Happy birthday
Sorry but the cake is gone
Pissed at breakfast
Betrayed holy one
Pedestrian

Pedestri, pedestrian
PIG PEN
Got a revolution on your mind
Fast break
Get into the gap
Start it on the telephone line
Must stink
Sitting in the pig pen
Staring at the pig pen
Staring at the ground
Living in the pig pen
Better when the stars gather round
Cop shop
Better watch your language
Try to get a witness on the ground
I'm free
Got a little freedom?
Sitting in the pig pen
Laughing all around
Living in the pig pen
No!
You're
Stuck
In the ground
Stuck in the ground
?
Tripped up
?
Look at all the bodies up ahead
I know
You've probably gotta pay now
Sitting in the pig pen
Staring at the ground
Living in the pig pen
POINT OF VIEW
POST ENEBRIATED ANXIETY
Looks like them baddies got bloated
Blinking big red sticking ball
Your hunting over exposure
I'm doing nothing at all
I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit
I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit
Eye needle bit
Eye needle bit
Give me a hit
Slack me a laxative donor
My white teeth work chemistry
That dog can bark all it want's to
I needle bit can't you see?
I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit
I need a little bit
A little bit
A little bit
Eye needle bit
Eye needle bit
Give me a hit

Is it worth it? just a little bit, little bit, little bit
Yeah I need a little bit, a little bit, a little bit
Yeah I need a little bit, a little bit, a little bit
Give me a hit!
PRESSURE TESTED 1984
Pressure tested 1984
Orange flavour that I can't ignore
Ignore
Ignore
Shepherds restless, waiting in the barn
Could you consume, if I was around your town
It's not your doubt, it drags me down
Don't tell me that
I can't ignore it
I can't ignore it
I can't ignore it
I can't ignore it
Pressure tested (x15)
PROTEST
Reading metal quarry protest
Advanced professional business
Chartered soap opera
Voltage some ill fabrication
Tool and single supply, power
Timber cutting, monumental
Park view mason, recreation
Coach, cat, family, gateway sale yard
Superior interior
Home brew exterior guaranteed
Scared of nothing
Nothing's sacred now
Inferior superior
No known exterior guaranteed
Ah ha!
Scared of nothing
Now there's nothing that you can't have in your
Fucking life.
Something out of nowhere
Like a bullet from a gun
Old railrider, riding in the sun
And you preach like a jesus
But you act like a man
All the lies your teaching
Lend another one's hand
Old railrider
Old railride
Get your bed unmade
With a jokers grin
And I saw you knocking
But I couldn't get in with the
Door locked
Oh god you look fantastic
Time's never been so drastic
Work nights for a fucking piece of plastic
Old railrider
Old railrider
Can't get much higher
Old rail
It's what you get when you love like a hypocrite
And the bloods on your hand
But you can't see shit
It's what you get
When you look like a hypocrite
Already, quit it
It's what you get when you love like a hypocrite
And the bloods on your hand
But you can't see shit
It's what you get
When you look like a hypocrite
Something out of somewhere
Like a bullet from a gun
Old railrider, riding in the sun
And you preach like a jesus
But you act like a man
All the lies you teaching
Lend another one's hand
Old railrider
Old railrider
Can't get much higher
Old rail
REPEAT
She looked so pretty, pity, perfect stranger
Sold connections for the buy in major
Lobby fucking with the bird board, turf board
Need a licence to observe
And I swear they'd never lie
Just shows how much that
She goes, she goes, she goes
Round, round, round
She goes, she goes
Ugly race day and a rain face loser
Printing money on parole beats loser
Your hands stuck in your pocket
Digress, confess you offered
But you burnt the house down
Just like the movies
She goes, she goes, she goes round and round
She goes, she goes, yeah
Pretty past you forget my story
Lost a kitten on the road to glory
I know I could have been there
But I wasn't so it doesn't matter
Patch me another line
We'll laugh about it
He knows, he knows, he knows nothing now
He knows, he knows, he knows nothing now
Seagulls, seagulls, seagulls fly around
She knows, she goes, yeah
SCALPED
Urge those working, with such machinery
To keep their hair tied back
Contained in hair nets or cut short
Fit and happy he was healthy at 71kgs
Indoor cricket
Scaring marvel, effect of some drugs
Vivid, deadly
Photo, paper
Training for living
Still giving plastic bag account
So can you work it out?
Urge those working, with such machinery
To keep their hair tied back
Contained in hair nets or cut short
