AMERIKAN PARTY BOMB

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

 

BALDING MATTERS

Would you, could you
Lend a hand with my bbq
I've got beer beer
Get round with your packed up wacky sack

Balding matters
Balding matters

Twist round, sit down
Leave town like you did the last time
Feels great, so good
Yeah I need you to understand that

Balding matters
Balding matters

Cold
Cold shoulder

Since when, did friends, depend on your approval
I got date of, D.O.B
Your name and number x 4
What a fuckin' rort

The never ending object

So get your gold card
And make me happy

He was a good man
I'm sure the others
Will throw the ball in

Had an abortion

BUTCHER

Bright blue
Beautiful
I was walking down the hall
While the energy
Is it just an excuse from the enemy?

Butcher
Ram it down your throat
Butcher
Pushing out a meaning

Leg called
Hit for six
Walking in the park
Bored shitless
My mind is on the couch
My mind's so gone because of it

Butcher
Ram it down your throat
Butcher
Pushing out a meaning

Butcher
Ram it down your throat
Butcher
Pushing out a meaning

I've woken up again
I've burnt the toast again
I don't need lies again
You're such a selfish mother fucker

Butcher
Ram it down your throat
Butcher
Pushing out a meaning

Butcher
Ram it down your throat
Butcher
Pushing out a meaning
 

CHAMPION

So you wanna be a champion!

Let's not beat around the bush
I got my hands in the air
With my head down look
Disease please pay phone the back of my car
Automatic teller
Man your gonna go far
Man your gonna go far

Flaccid the best in the world
Apology glitter for the flitter with the punk girl
God knows you like it
We all know about you sucker

Man your gonna go far

Your world champion now
Your world champion now
Champion, champion

You wanna champion or be a homeboy
I'm a macho fucking number one champion
You want a champion or  be a homeboy
Macho fucking number one champion
You want champion
Or be a homeboy
I'm so sorry!

DCX3

Dead cat three times
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

Dead cat
You said that
Said cat three times
Dead cat

No  school three times
Cigarettes, Sudafed for role call boys
They never really gave a shit
Apologetic hypocrite

Dead cat
Dead cat three times
Dead cat
Said that
Said cat three times

Dead, fuck…ing, cat

Dead cat
Dead cat
Dead cat
Dead cat
Dead cat
Dead cat

 

DR GRINSPOON

I was at the club the other night
The ladies were looking alright
Saw this chick and she looked OK
But she had her back shaved!

Your head is fucked and so are you
You're like a bad dream coming true
I'd give it up mate if I were you
Your head is fucked and so are you

Was your bag that was on the seat?
Had a little bit of a little babe
When the little thing took me home
What'd you do?
You?
Noooooooo!

Your head is fucked and so are you
You're like a bad dream coming true
I'd give it up mate if I were you
Your head is fucked and so are you

OI! OI! OI!
OI! OI! OI!
OI! OI! OI!
OI! OI! OI!

Your head is fucked and so are you
You're like a bad dream coming true
I'd give it up mate if I were you
Your head is fucked and so are you

 

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?

JUST ACE

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
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
Thanks I'm over it

Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Yeah, yeah y-y-yeah

Sweet child your such a princess now
I love the rainbow on your brow
I love your rainbow, oh no it's winter
Winter
Living in another space
Mistake
Thanks I'm over it

 

LET IT GO

Anyone think they know the lyrics to this one?
Mail me if you do…

 

MORE THAN YOU ARE

Where you neurotic as a child?
Did they come around to watch your style?
Did you have plans to be a star?
Did you have plans to become more than you are?

Maybe rock was in your dreams?
Maybe being there was far to obscene?
You swing it high
You swing it low
Swing it any time
Where you wanna go?

More than you are
More than you are
More than you are now

I'm more than you are
More than you are
More than you are now
Yeah
Alright
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Alright

Where you neurotic as a child?
Did they come around to watch your style?
Did you have plans to be a star?
Did you have plans to become more than you are?

More than you are
More than you are
More than you are now

I'm more than you are
More than you are
More than you are now

 

NBT

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?

 

PEDESTRIAN

Birthday party
Candles lit out back
Controlled distaste
Watch left, right hit run

Pedestrian
Pedestrian
Pedestri, pedestrian

Tombstone graveyard
Blackest day I know
Wedding funeral
Parade of sorrow

Pedestrian
Pedestrian
Pedestri, pedestrian

Happy birthday
Sorry but the  cake is gone
Pissed at breakfast
Betrayed holy one

Pedestrian
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

Taxi man you drive too slow
Bribe the child that doo-bee show
How to exist down here
Grab a complex be like me
Pimples control the way that you wanna be
I let you exist in society

I needed green just as much as you
But it's not the way
I want it now but your point of view
Points the other way
Yeah
So paranoid it is making sense
I've got to get away
Right to the top just avoid the fence

Cranky mum I'm sorry that
Your daughter's gone and caught it
Pretend it was never there
Frankly dad your brain is sick
All's I need's another fucking lunatic
Yeah
Your in sucky, what he shows

I needed green just as much as you
But it's not the way
I want it now but your point of view
Points the other way
Yeah
So paranoid it is making sense
I've got to get away
Right to the top just avoid the fence

Pretty girl I've said too much
Should have kept my mouth shut
Did it occur to you?
Love me, leave me, take me there
We can sit on porches and our rocking chairs
Yeah
Watching the world go by

I needed green just as much as you
But it's not the way
I want it now but your point of view
Points the other way
Yeah
So paranoid it is making sense
I've got to get away
Right to the top just avoid the fence

 

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

I need 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.

 

RAILRIDER

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

 

SAVE ME

Since we met
I can't forget
I can't forget
About that very pathetic
Excuse for a little baby

Did you find that things were nice?
The baker smelt extremely nice
Cashed up is a good thing for a while

(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me from hurt
(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me

When you're here we went to bed
We got around near everywhere
And people seem to genuinely hate me

Whiny jokes where such a hoax
Tried so hard to stay afloat
It ended up drowning with the best

(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me from hurt
(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me

Oh yeah
Alright now
Oh yeah
Get Down

Now we told you just to call
Your mother standing in the hall
Your father pacing, he's such a fucker

Sure and then they shot him there You should have seen your father stare
What a shame
They say that she is dead now

(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me from hurt
(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me
(No you can't) Save me
(Can't) Save me
Me… uh

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
