INDIVIDUAL INCONSISTENT
1) These Things You Throw
Taste me I'm on fire, burning bright and I might dismiss your words
Mock me I'm a liar, this is how well, I never thought you cared
You can't hurt me any more
Sink to your knees boy and they'll never get you lower down
Sink to your knees boy and they'll never take away your crown
Peace is the prospect, now of being one against the ten
But the meek rule the earth boy and they're gonna have their day again
Scar me with your knife, all my life I've been growing thicker skinned
Harm me with you words, the one thought I was immune to
You can't hurt me any more
Sink to your knees boy and they'll never get you lower down
Sink to your knees boy and they'll never take away your crown
Peace is the prospect, now of being one against the ten
But the meek rule the earth boy and they're gonna have their day again
Tie me to your spite, with your rope that you hope will keep me there
Blind me with your lies, and I say that one day I'll see again
These things you throw I'll take them all, take them all
You can't hurt me any more
Sink to your knees boy and they'll never get you lower down
Sink to your knees boy and they'll never take away your crown
Peace is
the prospect, now of being one against the ten
But the meek rule the earth boy and they're gonna have their day again
2) 00.48
Who can tell me why, some things never change
Who can tell me why, some folk think me strange
Tell me, tell me, is anything for real?
Tell me, tell me, where's my Achilles heel?
It didn't matter then, it doesn't matter now
I'll try and work it, I will somehow
3) Queue Jumping
Been around underground now I'm bursting through
I'll hammer down your door and I'll jump the queue
I won't hide, I'm inside of this wonderland
Gonna start to grab it with both hands, gonna start to grab it again
You say that life's a bitch, put it down to bad experience
Carry on pursuing beasts, that's what you do best of all
Responsibility, you should tread a little carefully
Disregard all your policies and get yourselves in gear
Been around underground now I'm bursting through
I'll hammer down your door and I'll jump the queue
I won't hide, I'm inside of this wonderland
Gonna start to grab it with both hands, gonna start to grab it again
When things don't go your way, blame it on whatever comes your way
You don't seem to have a lot to say but you're always talking loudest of all
You make me so uptight, disappearing into the night
I would say that I've earned the right to serve you up your just desserts
Been around underground now I'm bursting through
I'll hammer down your door and I'll jump the queue
I won't hide, I'm inside of this wonderland
Gonna start to grab it with both hands, gonna start to grab it again
Thinking you're so intellectual, makes you seem more ineffectual
I would like to see you do it alone
Been around underground now I'm bursting through
I'll hammer down your door and I'll jump the queue
I won't hide, I'm inside of this wonderland
Gonna start to grab it with both hands, gonna start to grab it again
4) Postcard From The End
How am I to know that you're feeling insecure
And the bottom line is I know you don't love me anymore
Why should I care? Send me a postcard
How am I to know that you've lost your sense of sight
And you're wondering so blindly, headlong into the night
Why should I care, send me a postcard
Hey, You took me by surprise
You're the one that got away
Don't I even get a say in this
Thanks for the memories
Thank you for the postcard from the end
How am I to recognize this new look on your face
Your mascara has all faded but that's really no disgrace
Why should I care? Send me a postcard
How am I to recognize these new things that you say
Now your ideologies have all become a distant grey
Why should I care? Send me a postcard
Hey, You took me by surprise
You're the one that got away
Don't I even get a say in this
Thanks for the memories
Thank you for the postcard from the end
Hey, You took me by surprise
You're the one that got away
Don't I even get a say in this
Thanks for the memories
Thank you for the postcard from the end
5) Owen Can Write In Peace
Violence never seemed to bother him, but silence plays a part
Dying never on the cards at least he's trying inside his heart
He's happy to be here there's so much to see dear
He can't be alone with his thoughts
Every sight every sound, he's writing it down
Stares out to see his place to be, a dream that he's had consistently
He shuts his eyes, and sadly sighs and dreams of his final golden prize
Seems far away but who's to say, he sits there yearning for the day
He dives right in, salt stings his skin, down there in aquamarine
Things are so serene, that now Owen can write in peace
Blinking, fighting back the tears now he's thinking, searching hard
Never cared for untold riches but forever he's on his guard
He's happy to be here there's so much to see dear
He can't be alone with his thoughts
Every sight every sound, he's writing it down
Stares out to see his place to be, a dream that he's had consistently
He shuts his eyes, and sadly sighs and dreams of his final golden prize
Seems far away but who's to say, he sits there yearning for the day
He dives right in, salt stings his skin, down there in aquamarine
Things are so serene, that now Owen can write in peace
Stares out to see his place to be, a dream that he's had consistently
He shuts his eyes, and sadly sighs and dreams of his final golden prize
Seems far away but who's to say, he sits there yearning for the day
He dives right in, salt stings his skin, down there in aquamarine
Things are so serene, that now Owen can write in peace
6) Bugs In The Cookie Jar
Here we go again
Cut me down and scream the odds at me icily
Guess who takes the blame
Anything for a moments peace, oh please!
I'm the bug in the cookie jar, and I'm the flat tyre upon your car
And all the things that really spoil your day
I'm the joke that you've heard before and I'm the burnt steak that you wanted raw
And all the things that really get you down
Underneath the frown
Seeing you so wound up makes me smile like a child
My advice is sound
Laugh at life and life laughs back at you
What can you do?
I'm the bug in the cookie jar, and I'm the flat tyre upon your car
And all the things that really spoil your day
I'm the joke that you've heard before and I'm the burnt steak that you wanted raw
And all the things that really get you down
Stick around and I'll guarantee, if you would stop buzzing so high
I could show you a thing or three and you would fall out of the sky
I'm the bug in the cookie jar, and I'm the flat tyre upon your car
And all the things that really spoil your day
I'm the joke that you've heard before and I'm the burnt steak that you wanted raw
And all the things that really get you down
Bug, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug, bug (etc!)
7) The Gullible And The Appetite
Your heroes strip you to the bone
Believe in all the things you're shown
Left in the nude how do they do it? They'll never see you cry
In your black mood you won't get through it and then you'll wonder why
I don't know where to point the finger, so whose fault is it?
They served you up a plate of poison, but why'd you eat it?
Delight in rumors you have heard
Hang on to every single word
Left in the nude how do they do it? They'll never see you cry
In your black mood you won't get through it and then you'll wonder why
I don't know where to point the finger, so whose fault is it?
They served you up a plate of poison, but why'd you eat it?
You're left exposed and guilty
Left in the nude how do they do it? They'll never see you cry
In your black mood you won't get through it and then you'll wonder why
I don't know where to point the finger, so whose fault is it?
They served you up a plate of poison, but why'd you eat it?
8) I Am The Government
No thought inside this house, that has not been thought before
No trace of originality, behind this door
This is the way it is, the way it was, the way that it should be
You're more than welcome to join our community
We are the chosen ones, chosen by the faces that we see
In front of mirrors daily, all as it should be
I am the government, I'll ignore your colour race and creed
Your bones all break the same way, it's crimson when you bleed
9) Successful At Failing
It's a long and complicated story
That I've got the time to tell you all about
Of a girl who rose and fell from glory
And everything she had she's now without
She started with nothing, she's ended with nothing
Apart from her migraines
Oh she's successful at failing, darling
She's a winner at losing, darling
She had everything, not quite everything
On a dry and humid summers evening
She took the time to wonder down the road
At the time she couldn't know the meaning
Of the message waiting on her answerphone
She started with nothing, she's ended with nothing
Apart from her migraines
Oh she's successful at failing, darling
She's a winner at losing, darling
She had everything, not quite everything
Well she can't do right for doing wrong
And it's been like this for far too long
Had she known when asked to do some overtime
It was more than strings he wanted to be pulled
Twenty-four she thought that she was in her prime
And that's the last time that she'll let herself be fooled
She started with nothing, she's ended with nothing
Apart from her migraines
Oh she's successful at failing, darling
She's a winner at losing, darling
She had everything, not quite everything
She's successful at failing, darling
She's a winner at losing, darling
She had everything............. not quite everything
10) Merely On Parade
Perched upon a spade you shiver sweetly
Jack Frost biting at your breast
Changing from one leg to the other
People love the way you're dressed
Staring at you through their windows
Little Pointing fingers capture your eye
Realize you're not alone
Foraging under leaf and suburb
Need to provide for your own
Staring at you through their windows
Grinning mindlessly
Laughing at you, but even so they know not what they do
They really love you
Don't be afraid you're not a target merely on parade
Until the day when dark skies surround you and you hide away
And shy away from those you fear
Gather up the crumbs left out for you
And feast upon their last nights meal
Happy to feed you, touch you, stroke you
Never thinking how you feel
Staring at you through their windows
Working every hour for food and shelter
Some of you in all of us
We would like to think we're so superior
We should do just as she does
Staring at you through their windows
Grinning mindlessly
Laughing at you, but even so they know not what they do
They really love you
Don't be afraid you're not a target merely on parade
Until the day when dark skies surround you and you hide away
And shy away from those you fear
11) Folk Of The Town
My final hour is covered in sack cloth
Those feet are frozen, are worn?
I hear idle chatter from mouths of the jailers
Talking of ladies, ????
Here I kneel with my hands tied behind of my back
Raise my eyes to the skies now there's no turning back
I'm entertainment for the folk of the town
My mind is empty as the blade crashes down
Come see the fool, see his head roll
Come join in with us
Lead down the cobbles tripping then falling
Kicked in the face while on my way down
All that I hear is clouded by judgement
Wives gasp so freely with babes in their arms
Here I kneel with my hands tied behind of my back
Raise my eyes to the skies now there's no turning back
I'm entertainment for the folk of the town
My mind is empty as the blade crashes down
Come see the fool, see his head roll
Come join in with us
Well in this world that tries to teach you crime will never pay
I beg you now to reconsider please spare me my life today
My family starves at home,
I knew not whose stag I did kill
If it's a crime to feed your children then do as you will
Here I kneel with my hands tied behind of my back
Raise my eyes to the skies now there's no turning back
I'm entertainment for the folk of the town
My mind is empty as the blade crashes down
Come see the fool, see his head roll, come join in with us
