Hardened Soul
04:19
|

|
Don’t understand what my
Heart just said
Was it another conversation
That I shouldn't have
Now obsessing over every play
Do we tear up pages
We've been writing for ages
I don’t know
You broke my
You broke my
You broke my
Hardened soul
Another night spent
Dying for sleep if I
Dream it for you would you
Dream it for me
While we both sit
Lying awake will we
Ever kick the habit
Simply wash it away
The lights not staying out
Gets shorter every day
Your world is just as complicated
As mine
You broke my
You broke my
You broke my
Hardened soul
Another day spent
Wasting away
If it weren't for you
I'd be worried for me
While we both though
Nothing could change
A little nothing come to something
Couldn't wash it away
The lights not staying out
Gets shorter every day
Your world is just as complicated
As mine
You broke my
You broke my
You broke my
Hardened soul
Don't underestimate
A simple thought
What's a tired conversation
To a restless heart
Been obsessing nearly every day
Do we tear up the pages
We mistakenly made
Well lets go
You broke my
You broke my
You broke my
Hardened soul

I See Hate

Hate
See hate
I see hate
I see hate
I see hate
In the middle of the street
In the faces of the weak
I see hate
I see hate
I see hate
Walking down the esplanade
In the coward and the brave
I see hate
I ordered
California
I got New York
Hate
See Hate
I see hate
I see hate
I see hate
Every place I thought was great
Even in my quiet place
I see hate
I see hate
I see hate
Try to give this one a break
But the mirror shows my face
And I see hate
I ordered
California
I got New York
I paid for
Minnesota
I got Detroit
I See hate

Cocaine Eyes

Cocaine Eyes
Red and blistered, your disguise
Did it help you to make it feel right
Don't you worry yourself bout last night
Alright
Cocaine Eyes
Crystal balls see crystal skies
Staying out with another Actress
Coming down on another mattress
Match this
Cocaine eyes
What do those marbles have inside
Don't he say that he really loves you
Maybe time for another tattoo
Oh sweet youth
Cocaine eyes
Back and forth you've spent you life
Share some blood with another billboard
Spill your soul on another headboard
Distort
Cocaine eyes
A little makeup, a little wine
A lot of time till you get to real life
Don't look now it's another sunrise
Sunshine
Cocaine eyes
You’re determined to decide
But the bad ones will never let you
And the good ones you never let through
Oh true blue

No Room
03:32

Million dollar mansions
Where the junkies shot their junk
1800 dollars
Where the hookers used to fuck
This town I knew and loved so much
Has crumbled into electronic dust
Well the Streets of this dear city
Are filled with nothing much
They've rid the bars of Punk rock scars
And made battles over brunch
There's nowhere left for us to play
The only way
We've ever known is loud
There's no room for you in this town
Tenement torn down
For a mixed use mall and loft
Vagrant indigent
Still pisses on its walls
Where's the kids with nothing left
Replaced by kids with nothing but the best
Well the Streets of this dear city
Are filled with nothing much
They've rid the bars of Punk rock scars
And made battles over brunch
There's nowhere left for us to play
The only way
We've ever known is loud
There's no room for you in this town
There's no room in this
Gentra-fucked up town
There's no room for you
So what'll you do now
Make your scene
What you want it to be

Honour Amongst Thieves

Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor amongst thieves
It's more honor than the government
Honor amongst thieves
So wickedly pure
They'll stab you in the back
But at least they never promised
To be more than they
Are
Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor Amongst Thieves
Honor amongst thieves
It's a professional courtesy
Honor amongst thieves
Some wisdom it's sure
They'll kiss you on the cheek
While they're whispering depict
But that's just love and
War
Honor amongst thieves
Honor amongst thieves
Honor amongst thieves
Oi oi oi oi
Honor amongst thieves
It's more honor than the government
Honor amongst thieves
So wickedly pure
They'll stab you in the back
But at least they never promised
To be more than we
Are
Honor amongst thieves
It's more powerful than politics
Honor amongst thieves
Some wisdom it's sure
They'll kiss you to your face
While they empty out the place
But that's just love and
War
There's no honor among thieves anymore

Play What We Know
03:19
|
|||
|
Practice in an hour
Got an idea, won't matter
Never time to work a new one
When the previous are scattered
Tattered
Never ever right
Play it different every night
What's the first note in the section
How does that one go again?
So we
Play what we know
At every single show
Turn the amps up to 11
Maybe nobody will go, so what
Stare at the ceiling
Sunday nothing much appealing
Could I play, could I write
Nothing happening tonight
Got the time, not the motivation
Nothing but procrastination
Wait until I get the proper
Setup then it's on
Till then we
Play what we know
At every single show
If there's a new one on the record
Chances are it's pretty old
And so we smile
Once in a while
No not that one
Lets do something from the backlog
Getting sore, getting tired
Feeling less and less inspired
Mired in a lack of vision
No one gave this one a listen
Wasn't asking for an input there's
Nothing worse than your opinion
So we play what we know
At every fucking show
You thought we'd play this one correctly
Who are we the Rolling Stones
And so we smile
Once in a while
I try all the lessons
But the practicing is pressing
Into certain territory
That I'm feeling will be boring, snoring
DIY for life
Who needs musical advice
If the Replacements did it wasted
Then we'll have another pint
And play it live
And play it live
And play it live
Let's try it live
And so let's play what know
Till our heads fucking explode
You thought you came to see an artist
Here I thought you wouldn't notice
That we play what we
Oh yeah we play what we know
And so we smile
Once in a while

Wrecked
03:07

Its not fading
It's not moving
It’s not up to anyone's advise
It’s not changing
It’s not right now
It's not worth a penny of price
We've gone and
Wrecked this one and
Now we got
To pay for what was done
If we took
All the pieces and
Put them back
You think we'd have the sum
Its not spinning
It's not turning
It’s not talking back to us tonight
It’s not tempting
It’s not useful
It's not what we thought was our result
We've gone and
Wrecked this one and
Now we got
To pay for what was done
If we took
All the pieces and
Put them back
You think we'd have the
Sum It up
Add it all
Divide it by the lying poll
Then multiply
Our ignorance
And tell us if it equals what was spent
I imagine it's like being blind
We've gone and
Wrecked this one and
Now we got
To pay for what was done
We've gone and
Wrecked this one
We've gone and
Fucked this up
It's all a
Mess we made
What left to take
They took it while we played
The part of arrogance
Now innocence
Is fading day by day
To night
Night to wake
Sunrise doesn’t look the same
We better find
Allegiances
Before they can
Exact their pound of flesh
I’m not buying it and
I’m not selling shit and
I can’t ever quit cause
Wrecked is just before it’s fixed

Queen of Hearts
04:45

|
Bury a hand
Beneath the seat
Nobody sees
This ace in me
Catching your eye
Like catching the sun
Just a moment a flash
Before its gone
Oh I’d better play my cards
She’s the Queen of Hearts
I’m just the Jack of Spades
We’ve both been shuffled up
I hope I land in your hand again
Keeping her close
Right to the chest
Calling her out
To see what's left
Holding out hope
Right up my sleeve
That your face down right now
In front of me
Oh I'd better play my cards
She’s the Queen of Hearts
I’m just the Jack of Spades
We’ve both been shuffled up
I hope I land in your hand again
And wouldn't you know
I see that red dress poking through
Oh I'd better play my cards
She’s the Queen of Hearts
I’m just the Jack of Spades
We’ve both been shuffled up
I hope I land in your hand again
