A Man's Not A Camel
I
smoked a pack of cigarettes before midday
I coughed up a lung around one
I can't see a thing through my eyes that sting
I can't remember having so much fun
I've never had so much fun
Can't
drink the water in Sydney
Can't eat the food in Japan
Can't breath the air in Los Angeles
but a million people think they can
These
wankers filled up with hatred
Why expect any less
They can't decide about genocide
I think it's time that they took a rest
I
try to compensate blindly for mistakes
Try to make things right
For all my redemption I've the best intentions
But it's always ending up in a fight
Never
felt bad lending a hand
I think you hoped I wouldn't be in a band
Broken ashtray I can always replace
I kick the door then I spit in your face
You
are not my friend
Never ever again
Dream
of sunsets with a drink in the sand
Of all my friends and losing money in the van
Remember holidays that weren't such a waste
And a broken jaw from a punch in the face
Picture
perfect with a frame that pretends
To be a martyr for a cause with no end
I was thinking that you needed a break
What I meant was every bone in your face
A mental photo of discoloured eyes
Of dirty carpets and moistened thighs
These recollections I will keep to the end
I'm sure it's wrong that you were never my friend
Never
touch a man with the power to expliot
Never touched a wanker(?) with the power to reform
chance to act now, i feel proud
with my ??? and drive yourself around
go to much trouble for making up laws
it's not as fun as fighting for your choice
don't trust em all
these are the rules
much you can do for someone else
It's up to you to fight
You've got to be strong when you're right
Do it for the power of obvious lies
when the real power brokers are in disguise
you teachers, priests, family and friends
when your own education is a means to within
they start to leave the artificial side of the state
you think so now but it's started too late
Fuck all the heros
Fuck all the ???
Throw a spanner in the works
It's time that we ??? that private sign
something about the reason but there is no lie
I never under estimated the power of one
I never feel safe when done is done
You're so empty
Stand and fight
One thing you can check
I
know that we all have differences
I'm not bothered 'cause I've seen them all
I'm the best guy you're ever going to meet
I won't listen to your point of view
I know everything
I
know every paradox in politics
I've been every place around the world
On every subject I'm a known authority
No need to argue 'cause it won't get through
I
know it won't be long
'til all my closest friends have come and gone
Freedom, I don't know what it means
The right to hate is part of me it seems
I
know everything from history
I don't need to watch the news
I find it easy with my vast intelligence
No one tells me anything new
I often wonder why no one talks to me
They must be threatened by my charm and grace
I know everything about everything
I'm especially witty when I'm off my face
Another
Sunday morning
another boring day
Another lonely sunrise
takes my breath away
I
miss my lung
I thought you'd never leave me
god how I was wrong
A
part of me is missing
It seems it's been so long
I
miss my lung
After all the songs are sung
I miss my lung
I
tried to forget you
And live with my regrets
I tried not to miss you
I recall your lovely breath
I
miss my lung
As vital as the sun
I miss my lung
Worse
than a broken heart
Worse than a poison tongue
Worse than an evil eye
Is you missing lung
I
took you for granted
It's ended up in tears
I miss you more than showers
It's been about a year
I loved you like no other
How can I live on?
I hope that you can hear me
It's for you I wrote this song
Twenty
past four and we're feeling kind of bored 'cause there's nothing to record and
we're poor
There's nothing on TV, how can that be? Not even bullshit I don't want to see
Spent
all day in bed, throbbing in my head, my legs are made of lead
feeling dead, there must be something to do to loose this mood
I looked in the kitchen, there's not any food
Something must be done, I'm craving some fun
Put
on my favourite band, yeah we need to make a plan
Well I really hope we can 'cause the situation can't be much worse today, nothing's
OK
If I worked I probably wouldn't get paid
We start to fight
Then we decided that
We're going out tonight
Walk
to the shop, CDs I can hock and that suck 'cause they never
give you much but I don't give a damn we're sticking to the plan we need to
buy some beer now the hour is getting near to the time that we know we've
really got to go, we're sitting in the park and it's getting pretty dark
We
have a sup
now things are looking up
We're going out tonight
Now
the time has come, we're going to have some fun
Now it's understood the night is looking good
Let's go out and find someone to shout we'll get to the pub and there's
going to be no doubt that
There'll be some trouble there, broken glasses and stupid hair
We'll be without a care all night
We're going out tonight
1,2,3
the phone's for me yeah
I don't want to get it but my mind disagrees
Running out of patience but I can't break away
And now it's taking so long to find a resolution
The pain I'm going through there must be a solution
I can't be the one to give her total absolution
I'll send her nothing good
Does
it make you feel good to make me miserable
Or is a power struggle completely unfeasible
Every time we speak you're convinced I'm unreasonable
I'll get through it I've found another way
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear
Everything
I say seems to get me in trouble
I only feel better when I'm seeing double
Now there's someone else I think that we can resolve it tonight
It's going to be alright
Let's
drink a beer, let's drink it here, 'cause tonight is all that's here
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, it's the one thing that is clear
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, to you I send my only friend
Let's
drink a beer, let's drink it here, to anesthetise my fear
Let's drink a beer, let's drink it here, destroy your fear
Gone
so long the days for thinking, hear that final call for drinking
I know there's been a lot of problems, not too many ways to solve them
Seems hopeless what can be done yet, I feel the need for icy comfort
Let's drink a beer
I
know why dinosaurs became extinct
it's because they learned how to
suck their own cocks
Well
I needed to define what it was that made you mine
Was it pity or disgust I used to know but now I just don't trust
Since the accident, what it was you meant
I convinced myself it was heaven sent
that the ambulance was sent
And I wish I had disguise, please let ignorance provide a shield for covering
my pride might restore my faith in good yeah a wish I understood but I
don't care I just need another 'lude and intravenous food
I don't need your loving all I need is a spinal operation
In
my weakened state I might, independence I won't fight
Cause I don't need your sorry eyes or was that just terrible disguise
or was it loose, thinly veiled hate I understand why you didn't want to
wait, when it's time to operate
Now
I'm running out of time now I know that hate is blind
It's all legal, not a crime I give consent to your detriment
Press the buzzer and you'll know it's time ask the nurse she'll say
everything's fine
Take a scalpel to my spine
I've
been living without a face so I can't face the day
Civil war behind my eyes I'm the only one to blame
Take a step back and run and hide
I'm looking for an enemy or a friend from deep inside
My
self destruction increases my cred
I need to be real and I need to be fed
As
broken as an unloved skateboard at the lost and found
As tired as a rabid dog waiting at the pound
I like to live and I've got reasons to destroy
Try to stand the test of time, my mind is not a toy
My
self distruction so easily led
No need to now I'm wrecked inside my head
Wake
up to this self abuse this trait is not a crime
I've seen the way to live with poison everything turns fine
Listen up to the soft words to myself
Time to ignore these little voices and pretend I'm someone else
Monitor
my intake and I'll document this time
Give me something to believe in give me cheap-arsed wine
Self destructor gripping onto what life there's left to live
What's the point in giving up when there's nothing left to give
He's
not very fast but he's a racing machine
Often comes in last and he's not very clean
Very rarely wins but sometimes gets a place
Not exactly healthy but at least he's in the race
Coming up the inside or bringing up the rear
Always hope it rains 'cause then he's in the clear
We never fix races but I could be wrong
So always put your money on Frenzal Rhomb
Gambling
is a curse but it can be fun
Especially when it's Frenzal racing at a hundred to one
Don't break your legs
Go Frenzal Rhomb
I
woke up half an hour ago
I don't remember much and I'm feeling slow
I don't know how but I know I lost all my friends
Everytime I see you now you're picking a fight
I know I must have said nothing right
Do you think that this is going to make a change
Do
you want to fight me? Hand to hand
Do you want to fight me? Now's your chance
Can
you tell me why I'm so objectionable
Is it personality or just my smell
When you look like fighting I look sick
Is it a disorder a doctor can fix
or are you just a violent mother fucking son of a bitch
When you put me to the floor you know I'll get back up again
Do
you want to fight me? Now's the time
Do you want to fight me? Stand in line
It's
obvious it's too late to make it right
Talking sense to you is going to take all night
I'm going to get a beating unless I make a plan
I know you want a piece, sorry I'm so slow
One more bevy I'll be ready to go
And run faster than I've ever run before
What the hell are
you doing later on
I've got some beer and I dont have a gun
I wanna find out I wanna try out
The possibilities of having some fun
And Im seeing
now that
Ive never seen this place before
And Im realising
Im alone
Got no home
Need a loan
But Im not on metha-
Theres a
time for and theres a place for
Ultra-violence and its not on my side
I tried to disect but where's the respect
There's still respect in an inanimate life
And its looking
like
Its time to escape again
There could be something wrong but
Im alone
Got no home
Need a loan
But Im not on methadone
Need a phone
With a tone
But Im not on methadone
I just don't
Have to go
Because Im not ???
???
Why dont you stay awhile
And Im realizing
Ive never tried
To see anything the same
Of all the good
things
Of all the ugly things
Theres a point where you dont have to hide
Its time to understand
That even Superman
He had his problems
But he knew how to fly
I
don't want to be your designated driver
when it's much more fun to be passed out in the corner
I don't want to meet your girlfriend of the moment even if she's
rich and has never been a truant
Can you listen to me closely
Unless your hearing impaired in which case you'll probably
talk quite stupid
Don't talk to me, Don't look at me, Don't you speak again
I
don't want to sleep with faeces in my bed, it's just the fuckin'
same as what your putting in my head
I can't listen to your patronising bullshit, don't
touch my face or I'll throw up on your cushions
I can't listen to you closely
This story's boring me to tears, could listen or just go to sleep
but what's the difference
I'll
be here to the end not meaning to offend, some things I
can't amend, you're lying to my friends, you're trying to pretend,
it's happening again...
Some
people say you're not bright as such, it wouldn't be
because you drink to much
Don't need to get that excited about the fact that you're talking
to a paralytic lout I know you want to go, there's nothing to
delay us, except fighting the crowd in this organised chaos.
I wouldn't be surprised if you looked into my eyes and you
didn't see a thing but I'm feeling like a king.
Tim
and Candy getting sandy
down at the beach but he's a leach
He's all bleached blonde white teeth, nothing wrong
she's got a brain
it's causing her pain
John's
with Kim but she likes Tim
she only wants sex but she's with his ex
She wants more, thinks life is a bore the shore's not enough
the guys are too tough
Summer's
here the rain has gone away
Summer's here all thinking's gone 'til May
Tim
and John swear nothing's going on
It's a god given right on a Saturday night
Two drinks later John becomes a traitor
it's always the same everybody's fair game
Summer's
here put the top down and drive
Summer's here now we're being burnt alive
Bleached
bland, polluted sand, there's nowhere to go, dull eyes so low
Tim, John, Candy, Kim, let's not pretend, that's it for them
If you dig a little deeper, an hour, 4-litres, the truth does reveal
we cannot conceal
It's written plain and plenty, a face full of envy in all of our
thoughts and all of our hearts
Summer,
discontent
Summer's here put the top down and drive
Summer's here now we're being burnt alive
Summer's here and we're almost naked
Our tan is deep but no-one knows we've faked it
I
don't think I like it
But I'm hanging around
I'm itching to go
And it brings me down
Going to a shit-town
I've gotta say
The only good thing
Is driving away
Always gotta find to the
Place we've gotta get
We're out of there as fast
As Frenzal in the wet
We make friends
And a few of them stick
Sometimes they're great
sometimes they're pricks
Gotta learn to like it
Like it or not
Avoid getting beat up
Avoid getting shot
Then it's 1, 2, 3,
Then 4 on the floor
Get the fuck away
Don't let it through the door
Gotta find a new place
Gotta meet a new face
Gotta try something
I've never done before
I've got to get away
Find a better day
Release me while the
Porch light fades
Breaking the bank
Now we're breaking a string
Breaking the law
Breaking other people's things
Trying to get right
Trying not to fight
Always spending money
On useless shite
Want to have a good time
??? very well
Drink too much
Then I'm sure I'll go to hell
Going 24 hours
Seven days a week
Some time soon
We've gotta get some sleep
There's nothing like the feeling
Of the sun upon your back
Or the mystery of the unknown
We've gotta go, We've gotta go now
Don't look back and don't be slow
It's time to go and chase the sun
