Instant gratification

Instantly forgot

As my coffee goes cold

Instant friends

Made on instant messenger

I forgot how I met her

As an infant cries

Lying starving in the night

As we chat about nothing at all

Vinyl becomes MP3

Dreams time has taken

Are lost and forgotten in an instant

As we chat tonight

Somewhere extremist fight

And we talk about nothing

In an instant we make friends

In an instant we lose touch

In an instant we forget

In an instant world

Of instant gratification

No one get substance or worth

In an instant world

Of instant communication

We can travel across the earth

Dreams are lost

As they are instantly fulfilled

In an instant a child is killed

We hear the news

And shock turns to awe

In an instant we are replaced

In an instant we make friends

In an instant we lose touch

In an instant we forget

i buried the dog

the black dog was barking

at my back door

i let him in

but he aint here anymore

i gave him his food

in a poisoned bowl

i showed him my worth

i bared my soul

the grey mist had fallen

and clouded my view

i was lost in confusion

i groped an found you

my spirits were lifted

as your smile i stole

i took your heart

you took my soul

i asked forgiveness

for my foul mood to date

asked for your love

asked it not to be too late

you held me close

as my barriers fell

all my cares disappeared

i came out of my shell

the black dog was buried

as i sat in the sun

for now his work was over

and his damage was done

crunch time

If the bank's collapse around our ears

And all credit history is lost

We will breathe with relief

As mortgages will turn to dust

If communication breaks down

And the internet it crashes

We might start talking to each other

And growing long moustaches

If television stations closed down

And the presses stop printing

We might actually hear the truth

We may even start thinking

If governments fall down

Onto their very knees

A politician may even apologise

He may even say please

If the oil wells they dry up

And your car doesn't start

Then we may have to walk home

Or get a horse and cart

If the credit crunch arrives

And recession is in the air

We might spend more time

In life having a real share

If the food stores shut the door

And we can't get tea and biscuits

Who cares what's in store

We know Jim'll fix it

If the end of money comes

And we shake or fear

Don't be too glum

Or shed even a little tear

If the system crashes down

And we can survive it

We might even grab hold of life

And start to revive it

it bangs

lyrics written on chip paper
bedroom rockstar i'll catch ya
later
dreams held in an hour glass
the fat man sat down too
fast
whisky still burns so good
a couple more and i think i
would
dead live inside us all
dead live inside my
walls
target practice without care
have a look but try not to
stare
shut your mouth up tight
words that slander start a
fight
head bangs with no music
if you've got the power you'll
use it

I left my life on the train

There's a taxi waiting at the door

To take my dreams away

There's a cigarette butt on the floor

And there I think it'll stay

Fag ash of last night's romance

Blown about by the wind

Children's TV induces a trance

Where were my hopes pinned?

I left my thoughts around here I think

And my memories have gone

I left my heart over by the sink

My soul has its shoes on

The spirit is pulled down the drain

And the love is not lost

Without the reason for the pain

My time has no cost

My dog in barking in loud silence

And the mind is so cold

I have no time for inner violence

Where my image is sold

My dreams they are dancing

All through the night

Life is so very enchanting

My hopes booked a flight

Now my righteous anger

Has walk in through the door

And my insecurities

Are not welcome anymore

Let’s get a check on reality

Let’s get back to reality

We’re pulled on by gravity and there ain’t no way out

Let’s get a grip on reality

Before another fatality make us scream and shout

You don’t have a reason to argue of fuss about

Act like a fool like a loved up larger lout

Let’s get a grip on reality

You’re pulling gravity but you’re not getting very far

Get a grip on reality

Another fatality is in the back seat of your car

I am stick of sitting gazing at the stars

From behind my mind closed wooden bars

Let’s get a check on my sanity

Let’s understand where we are going wrong

Let’s stop the waste of humanity

And let’s sing a peaceful war song

Let’s get a check on my sanity

Let’s face down the guns of war

Let’s obey the laws of gravity

And ask what it’s all for

Put down your bible and put down your gun

Put down your holy pistol and lest not kiss the son

Put down your head my dear and don’t look me in the eye

For you god of war my child your child had to die

Let’s get a grip on reality

And obey your life’s gravity cos it won’t let you down

Let’s get a grip on reality

And get a check on my sanity because I think it just left town

my heart betrayed

not sure how i feel, i was alright and now everything is wrong, i wear my heart on my sleeve and have it torn off, my life was based on trust and now it is based on doubt, i try to shake off the image but i can't get it out, i try and try but the image still burns, i love you but how can i learn, i am not sure i believe all the lies that you tell, would you have told me if i hadn't have found out, would you have changed if i hadn't found out, would you have still stayed the same, doing the same with the same people, do i believe that things are how you said or are you telling me what you want me to hear, the problem is i don't know, i just don't know, i don't know what i believe anymore

Jessica

You are my caffeine you are my alcohol

You are the lemon in my tea when I am feeling ill

You are my bright sunshine and my guiding light

You are my rock my stronghold, my reason never

 to give up the fight

You are the oil in my engine the spokes in my wheel

You give me all you love & hope and fill my heart with zeal

You are what you are & that is why I love you

You love me for what I am & that's how I know your love is true

just a little romantic walk

By the waters edge we sat
And we talked for a while
By the waters edge we sat
My eyes began to smile
By the edge we drank our pop
We talked about life
We talked about art
We discussed her clothes
And mine
We talked and talked
I would say we had a good time
Then we talked and walked
By the waters edge we then sat
We sat and talked and smiled
We talked
She talked and talked
I did not speak
She talked and talked
I started to feel weak
She talked at me
By the waters edge we sat
And she talked and talked
And talked
So I grabbed hold of a rock
And I beat her and beat her
By the waters edge I sat
Blood stained rock in hand
By the waters edge she lay
Dead motionless
Apart from a blood bubble rising from her lips
By the waters edge is where I laid her to rest
By the waters edge there is a nice place to walk
I will take you some time
Wouldn't you like that?
We can talk.

She

She's got a bottle full of somethin'
And shes looking at me
She's got a bottle full of nothing
She's gonna give to me
She's got eyes for my pride
And she got me
She's got eyes for the prize
And that ain't me
She's got a bottle full of water
And a glass of lemonade
She's got a bottle full of wishes
And a big damn parade
She looks me up and down
I feel naked in the crowd
She looks we down and up
She's making eyes at me
She casting a line to me
She's got something in the bottle for me
She got poison on her mind
She got loving to hide
She got loving
I got mail
She's got to go
Go sharpen her nails.
